Xu Ziyun didn't know anything about Xu Zifan's anger at the Queen Mother. When she saw Yulan who looked a little like the Queen Mother, she thought that Xu Zifan was seeing people and thinking about people, and the good mood when she came was gone. She looked at Yulan more, but didn't say anything in person, only said: "Brother, we haven't seen each other for several years, I have something to tell you, I wonder if it's convenient now?"
Xu Zifan stood up, "It's naturally convenient, you can go to the flower hall with me. Shiqin, prepare some things that Ziyun likes to eat."
Seeing this, Xu Shiyue stepped forward to hold Yulan's hand and said with a smile, "Father, I'm talking to Miss Yulan. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have dinner together tonight?"
Xu Zifan nodded, "Look at the arrangement, learn from your aunt for so long, let's see how well you learn."
"Yes, Father."
Xu Shiyue took Yulan away first, while Xu Zifan led Xu Ziyun to the flower hall slowly. Xu Ziyun looked at the beautiful scenery in the yard along the road and sighed: "This Prince Regent's mansion is very atmospheric. I have never been here once. Maybe many people have forgotten that I am your sister."
Xu Zifan smiled and said, "I've never seen you so angry, but now you've lost your temper?"
Xu Ziyun pursed her lower lip and glanced at him, "That's not necessarily true, brother, if you still treat fish eyes as pearls like before, I will never come again."
Xu Zifan shook his head amusingly, entered the flower hall and waved everyone away, and said, "Okay, come here if you want, I have not had much contact with that person for a long time, and I have put down everything that should be put down. It has been so long for six years. Stupid also sees whether she is sincere or fake."
Xu Ziyun stared at him in surprise, "Really? Brother, can you really put it down?" She frowned again when she thought of Yulan, "No, I don't believe it, if you put it down, what happened to the girl just now? Brother you Really... How do you tell me how to say hello? You can actually find a substitute, how persistent are you towards her?"
Xu Zifan took a sip of tea unhurriedly and explained to her, "Yu Lan was rescued by me by accident. Seeing that they looked alike, I made her pretend to be that person for a while. I was also confused at the time. But I've figured it out a long time ago and asked Yulan to restore her dress. She just lives here now, and I don't have any idea of using her as a substitute."
Xu Ziyun looked at his expression carefully, and said tentatively, "Yulan is not yours? Then how do you plan to settle her?"
These words made Xu Zifan stunned for a moment. He was too busy during this time. He wanted to control the court under the eyes of the empress dowager, the emperor, etc., and strengthen his power. I don't think much about my family. It was only today that he found that Yulan was bored and proposed to manage the shop to pass the time. As for what Yulan would do in the future, he really didn't think about it seriously. After all, he would protect her and keep her safe and happy for the rest of her life.
Seeing him stunned, Xu Zijun asked again, "Brother, you don't have empathy for her, are you planning to spend the rest of your life with her? I shouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing, but your vision before is really worrying, I can ask Where does this Yulan girl come from?"
As soon as the words "spend the rest of our lives together" came out, what appeared in Xu Zifan's mind was Mo Yun's face, and he was stunned again. He thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Yulan is a good girl, but I am not ruthless to her, and Yulan is not as ruthless to me as you think, she is just grateful to me. In the future, I will find a good home for her. "
Xu Ziyun snorted, "You men think things are simple, she has lived in your house for so long, how can she marry someone else? Besides, she is in her twenties, where can there be any good men in their twenties who haven't married yet? She is a continuation string for others? Even if she marries you, she will be a continuation string."
Xu Zifan smiled and took a sip of tea, very confident, "You don't need to worry about it, the person I'm protecting is worthy of any kind of good man, and he will be at ease for the rest of his life. Ziyun, you are here to tell me this. What? I have my own plans for mine, so don't worry if you don't know the inside story."
"Do you think I'm nosy? Didn't you just see Yulan's face and scared you? You just let that person go, and don't help her foolishly in the future. I heard that she and her son are quite tossing recently. , I'm sick of qi, I think it's just right, it's not suitable for a patient to see a foreigner, so you should stop going to her. As for whether you want to be with Yulan, I have no opinion, I believe Shiyue has no opinion, she I have mentioned Yulan several times in my place, and the two get along very well, and there are few conflicts in the future."
After Xu Ziyun confirmed that Xu Zifan was no longer infatuated with the Queen Mother, she hoped that Xu Zifan and Yulan would become, after all, this is the only woman who has appeared by Xu Zifan's side for so many years. As her sister, she naturally hopes that her brother will have a gentle and understanding woman to accompany her. No matter what her background is, getting along well with the family is the most important thing.
Xu Zifan waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, I just treat Yulan as my sister."
He thought about this when he first crossed. Marrying the guardian is naturally the best way to protect, but deception without emotion can't move people's hearts at all. At that time, he decided not to marry the guardian without the slightest temptation. Develop feelings, if you move your heart, then feelings can be cultivated.
He has never had any special feelings for Yulan, because he has been very busy since he traveled over, and he has rarely met Yulan, and nothing special has happened. Naturally, there is nothing tempting. But just now he discovered that Mo Yun had left a shadow in his heart. Although the shadow was still very shallow, it did exist. He didn't know when he paid attention to Mo Yun, probably because Mo Yun kept repeating it. It surprised him unexpectedly, and without realizing it, he gained a lot of attention.
Compared with Yu Lan and Mo Yun, he also prefers Mo Yun's character and ability. Since that's the case, he doesn't need to deliberately contact Yu Lan anymore. This is different from modern times. It is a justifiable way for him to protect Yulan. He has almost thought about it after speaking, but there is no need to say it now.
Xu Ziyun has always been unable to control her brother's affairs, so she stopped talking when he saw his insistence. She came this time mainly to see Xu Zifan's attitude towards the queen mother. Now that she has figured it out, she is overjoyed and it is much easier to get along with Xu Zifan. The two brothers and sisters have not seen each other for six years, and they have both changed a lot, but their personalities are good, and there is no gap between small talk, as if the quarrels and conflicts in the past have vanished, and no one cares anymore.
Xu Zifan asked about Xu Shiyue's situation. Xu Ziyun was full of praise for Xu Shiyue and loved her very much, but she was a little worried about the standard of choosing a son-in-law released by Xu Zifan. Such a high standard scares everyone away, and now no one asks her about Xu Shiyue's marriage.
Xu Zifan just smiled, "You don't have to worry about this, just teach Shiyue well. People are good for the world, the most important thing is to stand by yourself, and the rest depends on fate, it is better to be short than to waste, there is no need to marry someone casually for the sake of marriage. It's not that I can't support her."
Xu Ziyun is already doing well in her husband's family, but naturally there are many troubles in getting married and running a family. No matter who you marry, there will be troubles. She also hopes that her niece can marry a good man and have less troubles. Originally, she wanted to persuade Xu Zifan to think more about her son-in-law's character and family, and relax a little in other aspects. After all, women always want to marry and have children.
But now when I hear what Xu Zifan means, as long as Xu Shiyue is happy, he will be happy to support him for the rest of his life. Since this father doesn't mind, then she doesn't mind even more. How free is it to be the eldest young lady with the backing of her father? With Xu Zifan's status, there is really nothing to worry about. Nine times out of ten, unsatisfactory things in the world, rather than betting on whether the son-in-law will be reliable in the future, it is better to have a higher attitude and higher requirements from the beginning.
After Xu Zifan dispelled Xu Ziyun's worries, he cared about her life again. With her being Xu Zifan's younger sister, her husband's family couldn't treat her lightly, and it was impossible for her to ignore her in the outside world. It's quite a set, and life has been good all these years. Now that she and Xu Zifan are walking again, life will only get better, there is nothing to worry about.
Xu Zifan still had important things to do. After dinner, he let Xu Shiyue continue to live in Xu Ziyun's house. This time, he sent two secret guards to each of them, and told them to be careful. Although the two of them didn't know what Xu Zifan's plans were, they could see from Xu Zifan's attitude that something big would happen, so they solemnly responded and said they would protect themselves.
Xu Zifan also gave Yulan two secret guards, and also asked De'an to choose an experienced shopkeeper to teach Yulan's business. Yulan is really busy now.
The maid next to Yulan couldn't figure it out, and asked Yulan in private, "Miss, what does Wangye mean? How can women go out and show their faces to manage business? This kind of thing is not always done by the stewards at the end of each year. Did you send the account book?"
Yulan smiled and said, "Why do you have to be like others? I have never had the chance to repay the prince. Now it's a great thing to help him manage his business. I can't eat and drink freely in the house, can I?"
The eldest maid couldn't turn around, "But, but girl, you are not the prince's..."
"Shut up! What nonsense!"
Grandma Qian, who followed Yulan, has always been serious, and when she heard the words of the eldest maid, she reprimanded and frowned: "Go down, you don't need to serve here."
Yu Lan also frowned, and after the maid retreated, she whispered: "Mammy, even the people around me think like this, can other people in the house have a discussion?"
"No one dares to talk about this kind of thing. As for what she thinks in her heart, the girl doesn't need to care. It's just that this maid is useless, it's not that she has much wrong, it's just that her brain is not sensitive. If you follow the girl for a long time, it will cause trouble sooner or later. If you reveal a sentence or a half, the opinions of the people around her are often more lethal, and outsiders will definitely think that the girl has some ideas when they hear her words." Grandma Qian has always taught Yulan, and she will analyze things carefully.
Yulan nodded, "Then let her go elsewhere, and don't embarrass her. She is right in thinking so, after all, I used to get along with the prince a lot, and I'm afraid even Miss Shiyue thinks the same way, but in fact I always know The lord doesn't have that kind of thought for me, the lord is my benefactor, I just hope that I can repay him well if I have the opportunity, instead of causing him trouble."
"The girl thinks clearly, there is not a single servant in the lord's courtyard, which shows that the lord is very determined and cannot be controlled by anyone. If the lord does not intend, any girl who cares about the lord will only end up sad, it is better to arrest him. Stop what you have, and cherish it. No matter what happens in the future, what the girl grabs will be the girl's."
