Xu Nanyan's actions caused everyone to glance at Dafang, but no one thought much about it. They just thought she was giving instructions to the maid.

"Father, I agree with my uncles, and I also need this opportunity." Xu Nanyan said seriously.

"Okay! As expected of her, I agree."

Before Xu Zhiqiu could answer, Fang Ruyi's crisp voice came.

Xu Zhiqiu glanced at his wife with doting eyes, and then said with a smile: "Since Madam has agreed, it would be unkind for me to object again."

After saying this, everyone in the audience laughed.

Xu Nanyan's contact with the Xu family's various businesses has also been put on the agenda.

Within two days, she was assigned to work as the shopkeeper's deputy in a clothing store in the city.

Since she was not allowed to have a waiter, she and Fang Ruyi had a hard time talking to each other and brought Da Fang along as a temporary clerk in the shop.

As for the maid Si Bao, she was left in the mansion to take care of the courtyard and clean the room for Xu Nanyan so that she could have a clean and tidy place to rest when she came back at any time.

The place where Xu Nanyan's third sister Xu Huanxue learned embroidery and musical instruments was also on this street.

Because time is tight at ordinary times, I have to get up before dawn every day to study. In addition, this place is far away from Xu Mansion, separated by most of the city.

Therefore, the little girl has always lived in the courtyard behind Sanyi Pavilion with a group of boys and girls who were also sent by their family elders to learn musical instruments and other skills.

As for the school where I study, it is also on a quiet street nearby.

Her younger brother Xu Lingyu, who was born one step behind her, is studying at another Lanshan Academy outside the city, where Xu Nanyan previously studied.

Siblings Xu Huanxue and Xu Lingyu only go home every ten days and a half, sometimes even a month.

Although Xu Zhiqiu and Fang Ruyi love their children, they are also afraid that their constant visits will disturb their children's study, so they try not to disturb them if they can.

The reason why Xu Nanyan stayed at home during this period and did not go to the academy was because she had learned almost everything she wanted to learn, and her husband had nothing to teach her, so he let her graduate and go home.

The street where the clothing store and Sanyi Pavilion are located is called Fansheng Street.

Xu Nanyan took Dafang to the clothing store early in the morning. After getting familiar with the basic procedures, he went to Sanyi Pavilion to look for his sister Huanxue at noon, planning to give her the clothes and some food brought by her mother.

The steward at the front desk of Sanyi Pavilion also knew Xu Nanyan. After pointing out Xu Huanxue's location to her, he stopped leading her.

When Xu Nanyan looked in the direction, Xu Huanxue was chatting with a little girl about her age.

"Fantasy Snow!"

Xu Huanxue heard the sound and looked over, and quickly pulled the little girl next to her over.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Xu Huanxue was a little surprised. In fact, she stayed here every day and couldn't go home. She missed her family very much.

"Hello, Sister Nanyan!" Ming Yunxi was dragged over, a little helpless, and hurriedly greeted her.

It wasn't that she had any objections to Xu Nanyan, but she was afraid that she would disturb the two sisters. However, Huanxue and her had a very good relationship. When her eldest sister came to visit, she subconsciously pulled Mingyunxi over.

Xu Nanyan nodded at the two of them, first explained the purpose of his visit to Xu Huanxue, and then chatted a few words with Mingyun Xi.

"Sister, is she the new maid in our family?"

Xu Huanxue saw Dafang and asked.

"Hello, Miss Third!" Dafang saw that she was being asked, so she naturally said hello quickly.

"Well, she is Wenfang, and there is a maid named 'Sibao' staying at home."

After hearing this, Xu Huanxue looked at Dafang with a smile, and noticed that she seemed to be about the same age as him, only twelve or thirteen years old, so she asked: "Hello Wenfang, you must take good care of my eldest sister.

.”

"Definitely! Don't worry, Miss Three."

In fact, Da Fang's mission status this time was just that she was short, only about 1.5 meters tall. With her tender face, her actual age was two or three years older than Xu Huanxue, who was half a head taller than her.

After that, Xu Nanyan suggested that they go to a restaurant outside for lunch.

Ming Yunxi considered that the Xu sisters had not seen each other for a long time, and they must have a lot of personal things to say. It was a bit inappropriate for her to be present as an outsider.

But the Xu sisters insisted, so she had no choice but to follow.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we found a private room. Dafang was originally going to stand guard at the door.

As a result, Xu Nanyan was stunned and wanted to let her eat in the room, but considering that there was also Mingyunxi as a guest, she asked the waiter to prepare two empty plates and asked Dafang to take some of each dish.

Eat at another small table.

Xu Huanxue obeyed her eldest sister's arrangements in everything and didn't say much.

Ming Yunxi was a little surprised. Of course she could see that Xu Nanyan's attitude towards this maid was very different.

The eldest sister of the Xu family probably asked the maid to set up another table because she was concerned about herself.

Although she felt a little awkward, she still suggested: "Sister Nan Yan, how about the four of us eat together, I don't mind."

Xu Nanyan glanced at Ming Yunxi and confirmed that she was really willing to sit at the same table with her maid, and said, "Okay, Wenfang, let's eat together."

However, Da Fang declined politely and pointed out that she was a lowly member and a maid of the Xu family, so this was against the rules.

What she didn't say was that even if the Xu sisters didn't mind having a maid like herself serve at the table, it wouldn't be good if Ming Yunxi felt uncomfortable because of it.

Besides, it was mentioned in the mission content that the Ming family and the Xu family had a good relationship, and she didn't want anything to happen because of her.

Hearing this, Xu Nanyan felt a little more satisfied with Dafang.

While I feel sorry for her humble status, I also realize that my current power is too weak to change everything.

There was no way, the laws of the Wei Dynasty divided the people into different levels, and the lowly status was the lowest level.

Only a high-ranking official has the right to order the change of a person's or a family's status.

The corruption of high-ranking people in the Wei Dynasty has long been a foregone conclusion.

Although there are women in office among them, the proportion is always unbalanced, with too many men and too few women.

Furthermore, even if Xu Nanyan wanted to become an official, he was not willing to serve such a court.

Mingyun Xi's idea at this time was even simpler.

She didn't mind having dinner with Da Fang at the same table, but she was also worried about breaking the rules and inadvertently spreading the word to others, causing some bad effects.

During the meal, Xu Nanyan told Xu Huanxue that she would be staying at Xu's Clothing Shop on Fansheng Street.

The latter was very happy after hearing this.

"Really? That's great. Then I'll have some free time. I can come and play with my eldest sister anytime."

"Okay, but I probably don't have that much free time to spend with you."

Xu Huanxue pursed her lips, "Then I'll play with Wen Fang."

"Wenfang has to work with me and doesn't have much free time."

Xu Nanyan's words blocked the road.

Xu Huanxue spread her hands helplessly and said, "Okay, I won't bother you if I have nothing to do."

As she spoke, she muttered in a very low voice, "After so many years, I still look like this..."

"What did you say?"

"nothing……"

Xu Huanxue felt that she was right. Xu Nanyan used to be busy with various things besides studying.

Now that he has started running his family's business and lives nearby, he still refuses to spare more time to play with her.

But Xu Nanyan is the eldest sister, and her siblings obey her unconditionally. Of course, Xu Huanxue does not dare to disobey her eldest sister's authority, so she can only quietly criticize her.
