Xiao Baoshan’s cry almost made Sikong Xiao cry senseless. The child had not seen the world, so he could not take this silver.
“Alright, alright. There’s still some at home. Don’t waste your money when you get there. Money should be spent on the blade. In the future, discuss everything with Zhang Ting. He is very capable by my side. You have to respect him.”
Sikong Xiao couldn’t help but remind him.
He could tell that his son was only so smart to be able to throw away his own errands and get into a huge fight with the Yue family because of a mistress. Fortunately, he was still filial, and his father’s words were still quite powerful.
Sikong Xiao’s exhortation was perfectly misunderstood by Xiao Baoshan again.
His father was worried that his son would travel thousands of miles. His father had considered all aspects for him. He thought about how he had even lost his official position for his own affairs, and how the Xiao family had become a laughing stock in the eyes of others. He was unfilial.
“Father, you can rest assured that I will not let you down. I will definitely work hard and return to Jiankang as soon as possible to serve my father. I will bring honor to my ancestors and my family.”
Sikong Xiao was speechless. He wasn’t in a hurry to go back. He just wanted you to take root somewhere.
Sikong Xiao patted Xiao Baoshan’s shoulder.”” Work hard for a few years and let the court see your achievements and your ability. You really don’t have to worry at home. Father is still young and strong. You just have to be well outside…”
Xiao Baoshan wiped his tears.” Don’t worry, Father. I will do what I say.””
“.. Alright, remember to discuss everything with Zhang Ting and the others.”Sikong Xiao gave up on communicating with his son. He could tell that they were not on the same page. No matter what he said, his son would be able to go in another direction perfectly.
There was no point in saying more. After he went out to experience for a few more years, if he was really good, then it would not be too late to explain to him.
If she had told him earlier, she was afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to live a proper life.
Xiao Baoshan knew that the people Sikong Xiao had assigned to him this time were all capable people, so he understood Sikong Xiao’s repeated exhortations.
He thought he understood.
“Father, don’t worry. I will treat you with respect. They are all father’s confidants, so I will have to rely on them in the future.”
Sikong Xiao was satisfied. He didn’t care what his son’s brain was thinking. It was good that he knew how to do things.
The father and son chatted about Xiao Baoxin’s marriage. This was the first time Xiao Baoshan took the initiative to talk about his half-sister.
“.. The Xie family doesn’t seem to be very satisfied. Father, are we really going to marry into the Xie family?”Xiao Baoshan hesitated. He was afraid that his father would misunderstand that he couldn’t bear to see his sister doing well. “Chancellor Xie let out the word that their Xie family does not approve of this marriage…Don’t let the Xie family turn hostile in the end, and the one who loses face will be our Xiao family.”
“Eldest Younger Sister will be seventeen after the New Year. She has already broken off the engagement once. If it happens again, I’m afraid it won’t be good for Eldest Younger Sister…”
Even Xiao Baoshan had heard of it, so how could Sikong Xiao not know? He only waved his hand and said,”I’ve only heard of the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. Chancellor Xie is just an uncle, what right does he have to interfere? Don’t worry, if he dares to do anything evil again, 1’11 sue them for cheating on their marriage!”
The matchmaker came and left a token for each other. If the Xie family dared to break off the engagement at this time, it would be playing with the Xiao family. He would dare to shamelessly make a scene in the Golden Palace.
Since Sikong Xiao had already said so, Xiao Baoshan could not say anything more to oppose.
His past few years of marriage had made him understand that it was better for marriage to be of equal social status. Although he was getting along well with the Cai Group, the attitude of the Cai Group a few years ago still made him feel suffocated.
This was when Cai Shi married into the Xiao family. One could imagine how different it was for his eldest sister to marry into the Xie family. The level of difficulty was completely different.
He wasn’t sure if his father believed in the Xie family’s style or his sister’s martial arts…
However, it was not good to break into the other party’s house. Once they entered the house, they would beat up whoever refused to accept it.
They didn’t have such a huge grudge against the Xie family.
The conversation between father and son came to an end. Xiao Baoshan returned to the courtyard and told Madam Cai about Sikong Xiao giving him one-third of his assets.
Ever since the two of them had fought until their heads were bleeding, their relationship had actually rebounded from the bottom to the highest point. They were like glue, and they talked about everything.
Mrs. Cai was also touched.”Father still values you.” After a pause, she continued,”Madam has also privately supplemented us with 1,000 taels of silver today. She said that it’s for Andu. Who can suffer but the child…”
“I think he still doesn’t know father’s decision. However, this kind of heart was rare.”
After all, they had been at odds with each other before and did not get along well with Madam Xie. On the other hand, An Du was doted on by Madam Xie as if he was her own grandson.
Xiao Baoshan had mixed feelings in his heart. After a while, he sighed.”Since Abba didn’t tell Furen about this, you should keep your mouth shut. Don’t let it slip and let Furen blame Abba.”
Although he said this, he was saying in his heart that the more his father treated him like this, the more he couldn’t be selfish.
At home, his eldest sister and younger brother were not married yet, so there were places where silver was used everywhere. He was the prefect of a region, and the place where he used silver was not as good as the capital. He had to save some money and let his younger brothers and sisters guard it.
“I know. Little Aunt and Little Uncle are not married yet. We have to use this money carefully and not squander it.”Madam Cai said softly. “After this incident, we can finally see who is really good to us. The family was in a mess, but they were still a family.”
Seeing that his wife was thinking the same thing as him, Xiao Baoshan pulled Cai shi into his arms.
“What else can a husband ask for after getting a wife like this? Just wait and see in the future.”
Mrs. Cai rolled her eyes in his arms. If a man’s words could be trusted, even a sow would climb a tree.
Whether it was good or not was not something that could be said verbally. It would still have to be seen in the future.

Although it was just gossip between husband and wife, Madam Cai still took it to heart. She became even warmer to Madam Xie. In order to leave some memories before she left, she brought out all her dowry. Even Xiao Miaorong of the second branch, Xiao Baoxin, and Xiao Baoshu had carefully selected gifts.
How could Mrs. Cai not know that Xiao Jing ‘ai and Xiao Baoxin were quarreling? She was the eldest daughter-in-law, so she would not slap her aunt’s face at this time. She directly ignored Xiao Jing’ ai and did not even have the intention to be perfunctory.
Xiao Baoxin’s gift was the most expensive. It was a complete set of more than 20 pieces of jewelry. Just sending it over required three maids to carry four or five small boxes.
Just this big move had stunned Xiao Baoxin in an instant. Halfway through his fist practice, he retracted his momentum and almost missed his wrist.
“Sister-in-law, what is the meaning of this…”
With so many boxes placed in front of her, those who knew that her sister-in-law was here to give gifts would think that she was here to cause trouble. Especially when he heard the panting sounds of the maids..
