For the Xia family, the results of Chunwei were mixed.
The whole Xia family was very happy that Su Laowu was a senior in high school.
Bai Shu's failure made the whole Xia family unhappy.
One is treated as a nephew, and the other is a future son-in-law, which makes people both happy and disappointed at the same time.
"Why did you fail the list?" Mr. Xia said puzzledly: "Shu Zhi is known as a talented person in the capital, and he also studied under Fang Daru. Even if his ranking is lower, he shouldn't have failed..."
Mrs. Xia sighed and said, "Fortunately, the Bai family is an aristocratic family. Even if you fail, you can still follow Enyin's path and become an official in the court."
Master Xia naturally knows this truth.
In fact, the vast majority of children from aristocratic families seek employment through Enyin.
There are not many children from aristocratic families who study seriously and are quite successful.
People like Bai Shuzhi are indeed rare.
Naturally, this was before he failed the exam.
As his reputation faded, his talent and fame were naturally greatly reduced.
Because of his former talent and reputation, Bai Shuzhi can be regarded as a role model for the children of aristocratic families in the capital, like children from other families.
As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.
Bai Shuzhi's kick made him fall into the mud.
"The Su family wants to say congratulations. Although the Bai family doesn't need to say congratulations, they still need to go there." Mr. Xia said thoughtfully: "Ya'er will get married soon. We can't let this matter affect the two of us.
The relationship and atmosphere of home.”
"I know." Mrs. Xia nodded and said, "We must not let the Bai family think that our Xia family is not happy about Shu Zhi's failure and underestimates Shu Zhi."
Although, it is true.
But, just don't let others see it.
So as not to burden my daughter and make her husband's family dislike her in the future.
"However, the gifts originally prepared cannot be sent to the Bai family." Mrs. Xia added: "I need to think carefully and choose some other gifts instead."
After all, the gifts prepared in advance were all for congratulating Hakusho High School.
Master Xia listened and nodded.
In my heart, I felt unspeakable disappointment.
Alas! Why did you miss?
At this time, two maids each held a bundle and came in to report: "To inform you, Madam, something has been sent from the princess's mansion."
"Fuya, why did you bring something here again?"
Mrs. Xia said this with a hint of helplessness between her brows.
As my goddaughter, I have only been in the capital for a short time, but I have people sending me things every once in a while.
She is truly more filial than her own daughter!
When Mrs. Xia thought of Sugar Baby, she felt very happy in her heart.
No matter how big your worries are, they are gone.
She is really lucky to have such a good goddaughter.
Mrs. Xia thought to herself and asked the maid to put the bundle on the kang.
Immediately, he reached out and untied the smaller bundle.
Inside the bag is a set of light green spring shirts with colorful butterflies and flowers embroidered on them.
The workmanship is exquisite, and the embroidery work is even more outstanding. You can tell it was made by Tangbao at first glance.
In addition, there is a purse under the clothes.
The purse is bulging, containing——
Mrs. Xia's mouth twitched.
Banknotes and scraps of silver!
Mrs. Xia knew without asking that her daughter must have secretly given the money to Fuya so that Fuya could place bets for her.
Well, in fact, she also asked people to go to the gambling house and use her private money to bet that Fuya would win.
Now that Fuya has won, the plaque of the century-old family has also been smashed, and he has made a lot of money.
It's just that we can't talk about this matter.
Mrs. Xia thought of this, tied her purse, pretended she hadn't seen it, and put it under her clothes.
"Go and call Miss over here." Mrs. Xia ordered.
The maid agreed and walked out quickly.
Mrs. Xia unpacked another baggage.
In the baggage are two sets of clothes.
One set is sky blue and one set is purple with dark patterns.
The sky blue ones are men's clothes, with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on them.
The purple ones are women's clothes, with Begonia twigs embroidered on them.
Obviously, this is for the couple.
"Master, Fuya has made new clothes for you, put them on and try them on." Mrs. Xia picked up the clothes and said with a smile.
Master Xia sighed: "This child is really thoughtful, but she is young after all, so she must not be exhausted."
"Why didn't I say it? But this child never listens." Mrs. Xia said helplessly.
It makes me feel very sad to think that my sugar baby has to do so much embroidery work at such a young age.
Tangbao knows the measurements of the Xia family, so the clothes will naturally fit them.
"Mom, are you looking for me?" Xia Siya ran in quickly and said with a smile.
Mrs. Xia gave Xia Siya an angry look and said: "How many times have I told you, a girl should walk with gentle steps and not be so irritable, let alone talk chattering. The Bai family is a noble family with many rules. You can't be married to her.
People think that they don’t understand etiquette..."
The smile on Xia Siya's face froze, she stopped, curled her lips first, and then straightened her expression.
Then he slowly took two steps forward, bent down and bowed, and said in a pinched voice: "My daughter has met her father and mother."
Mr. Xia's eyebrows and heart beat, he coughed dryly, and said, "Well, you don't have to speak so slowly and softly."
Mrs. Xia was very satisfied.
"Every lady should be like this. Speak softly and slowly to show her strict family education." Mrs. Xia said.
"Yes, my daughter, thank you for your mother's teachings." Xia Siya pinched her throat, stiffened her face, and blessed Mrs. Xia again.
Master Xia: "..."
Rubbed his ears.
I feel like I can't stand it anymore.
Is this still my daughter?
My daughter has always had a lively temperament. Will she have to go against her nature and live such a reserved life in the future?
Maybe... it is wrong to marry your daughter to a wealthy family with complicated rules...
Mr. Xia couldn't help but think of the Su family.
A life like that in the Su family is more suitable for a daughter...
Mr. Xia quickly shook his head to get rid of the strange thoughts that suddenly came out of his heart.
His daughter is getting married, what is he thinking?!
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Xia asked.
"Nothing." Mr. Xia shook his head.
Then, he looked at Xia Siya and said, "In the future, you don't have to be so reserved at home. Just stay the same as before."
"Master?!" Mrs. Xia suddenly raised her voice.
How much effort did she put in to educate her daughter like this?
If you can't let your daughter form a habit at home, won't she be exposed immediately when she gets to her husband's house?
Mr. Xia, however, was unmoved and said: "Since the Bai family took the initiative to propose marriage, they naturally asked about Ya'er's temperament. They also must have known that Ya'er had been living in the Su family when she was a child and had never learned the rules of the aristocratic family.
Nor was she brought up like a daughter from a wealthy family."
"Since the Bai family didn't dislike Ya'er at that time, Ya'er naturally doesn't have to change anything, let alone-"
Master Xia paused, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
"As long as our Xia family and the princess's mansion can support Ya'er, no one in the Bai family will dare to embarrass Ya'er!"
Mrs. Xia: "..."
Speechless!
Xia Siya was happy.
"Thank you, dad!" Xia Siya said cheerfully: "That's great! Finally, I don't have to call daddy! Dad, you don't know, when I call daddy, I always feel that the relationship with daddy is alienated and we are not close at all...
"
After listening to his daughter's words, Mr. Xia smiled on his face and stroked his beard with relaxed brows.
