As soon as Xu Yin walked to the atrium, he saw his father sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle, blocking the road.
"What are you doing?" Wei Jun turned the four-wheeler around, and Governor Xu looked at his little daughter with a smile.
"Uh..." Xu Yin didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Xu Huan sighed: "The little girl has grown up and has her own secret!"
This statement sounded wrong, and Xu Yin quickly denied it: "No, father, you have misunderstood..."
"Father, there is no misunderstanding!" Xu Huan said with a kind face, "Although you brought him back because of his suspicious origins, you found out that he lied for a few words and was coaxed, and even hid in a tree to peek at others, but you didn't think anything of it.
You see, father really didn’t misunderstand.”
"..." Xu Yin was speechless.
"Hehe!" Wei Jun couldn't help laughing.
Xu Huan glanced at him: "I haven't talked about you yet! Lao Ji explained that it was you who encouraged the third lady to bring him back. You also said that you lost the thief and snatched a handsome man back to comfort the third lady. Haha, catch the thief.
No, I have a way of flattering you. Do you want to send you to the palace to show off your talents, Eunuch Wei?"
Wei Jun's face dropped and he shouted aggrievedly: "Sir!" He actually said that he was as flattering as a eunuch!
"Plop!" This time it was Xu Yin who smiled.
Governor Xu was not just teasing children. He stopped after saying a few words and pointed to the small hall next to him: "Don't laugh yet. Go drink tea with father for a while."
As soon as Xu Yin heard this, he knew that he was going to be punished, and responded with a grimace: "Yes."
Wei Jun pushed the four-wheeled cart in, asked the servant to serve tea, and then stood guard outside the door.
Xu Huan took two sips of tea and saw his daughter looking like she was facing a formidable enemy. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, didn't you tell your sister personally that you wanted to stay at home? Isn't this a good opportunity?"
Xu groaned and said: "Do you know?"
"How can a father not know this? Ji Jing, Jin Lu came over one after another and said that he is extremely satisfied with you."
Xu Yin felt a little embarrassed and explained: "Something happened to Fang Yi. I saw that my sister felt uncomfortable, so I excused her like this. I didn't mention it to Manager Ji and Jin Changshi, and I don't know what they did.
I would think so."
"Of course it's because you did so well." Xu Huan smiled, "Father didn't expect that you could do so well."
"Father..." Hearing his father's praise with his own ears, Xu Yin murmured and actually burst into tears.
She and her sister had gone through so many difficulties in her previous life, and sometimes she would wonder, if her father was still here, would he praise her when he saw her growth? Unfortunately, this growth came too late, and she could not save her father, nor could she save him.
elder sister.
Now God finally gave her a chance, and her father really praised her.
Xu Huan smiled slightly and said softly: "After this incident, I realized that I had made some mistakes. I originally thought that taking you under my wings and finding you a good husband would be the best result.
But you have seen that my father's vision is really bad and he almost harmed your sister."
Having said this, he put down his tea cup and sighed silently: "After all, no one else is as trustworthy as myself."
Xu Yin couldn't help but ask: "Father, doesn't he want to cultivate his eldest brother?"
In addition to their sisters, the second uncle also has a son and a daughter. In the eyes of others, the eldest brother Xu Ze is the only male in the Xu family and the one who can legitimately inherit the family business.
"Your eldest brother is too similar to your second uncle. He has a weak temperament and cannot take charge of things." He paused and then said, "What's more, after working hard for more than 20 years as a father, he finally built this family business and did not give it to his daughter.
, but gave it to my nephew, what’s the point?”
Xu Yin couldn't help but laugh. This statement sounded a bit counterintuitive. People in the world favored boys. Even if you have a daughter, your nephew will most likely inherit the family business. Thoughts like his father's are not recognized by the mainstream.
"Since you have no objection, my father will find another husband for your sister." Xu Huan said, "As for you, let me tell you in advance that Young Master Yan is not a good match."
Xu Yin was startled for a moment. Although she had no such idea, her father said this, which was beyond her expectation: "Father..."
Xu Huan held the tea cup and said slowly: "He is extremely favored at home. If father wants to keep you here, their family will never agree."
She obviously didn't have such an idea, but hearing her father say this made Xu Yin feel a little uncomfortable. Probably because she was also naturally rebellious, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't want it, but others didn't.
"Of course, it's not necessarily impossible." Xu Huan added, "No one can say for sure. Maybe we won't have to consider this issue in the future?"
Yes, the future Second Young Master Yan has turned against his father and brother, so there really is no need to consider this issue.
——No, there is no need to think about whether he has turned against him or not, she doesn't think so!
Xu Yin found that he was being bypassed by his father, and quickly defended: "Father, I don't have that idea about him, really!"
Xu Huan smiled and said in a coaxing tone: "Okay, you didn't."
"……"never mind.
Xu Huan added: "Actually, my father had actually considered getting married to Duke Zhao Guo before."
Eh? Is there such a thing? Xu Yin asked curiously: "Father, you said that it was when Fang Yi was still there? Then you must not be thinking about your sister, right?"
"Of course, I want to keep your sister at home at that time."
"Is it the second sister?"
Xu Huan smiled and said: "Your second sister is a niece after all, so she is a little lighter."
"So...it's me?"
Xu Huan nodded: "Wu Zijing is ambitious. Nanyuan is close, and he will have to face him sooner or later. However, in the surrounding state capitals, the people in charge are either brave or incompetent, and the only ones who can rely on him are King Dongjiang and Duke Zhao."
Xu Yin nodded silently. In his previous life, Fang Yi got Nanyuan, so he used his sister to please Dongjiang, probably because he wanted to use the power of King Dongjiang to deal with Wu Zijing. But then Wu Zijing was suddenly killed, and the battle did not start.
"At that time, my father considered two candidates. One was the Crown Prince of Dongjiang, and the other was the Second Young Master Yan. Your maternal grandfather's family is a prominent family in Dongjiang, so it would be good to marry back. But you have a flamboyant temperament, and Dongjiang likes it.
The woman has a gentle temperament, but her father feels that this marriage is not very appropriate."
Xu Yin didn't know what to think, so he smiled.
"If nothing had happened, maybe my father would have sent someone to Tongyang to find out. Although Nanyuan is only a state capital, it is crucial to connect the three places. As long as Duke Zhao is willing... he will definitely be willing to marry his second son.
.”
Having said this, his father smiled and looked at her with eyes that seemed to sympathize with her, but also seemed to take pleasure in her misfortune.
"Look, if you hadn't said that, this marriage would have happened without asking for it. It's a pity that once you said that, Second Young Master Yan will definitely not be able to do it."
Xu Yin opened his mouth and said after a while: "I didn't think about it!"
Xu Huan laughed and looked at her indulgently: "Yes, you didn't think about it at all."
