In Chang'an City, Xiao Xuanxuan took Xiao Yizi to go shopping with her, but when she walked to the door, she had to stop because the door of the Du family was blocked, and half of the alley had been blocked.

Two little girls were riding big cats and walking on the streets. If they were in the past, the people would avoid them while curious. Who wouldn't be afraid of tigers? Unless they were some vendors who were familiar with Xiao Xuanxuan.

But today it was strange. When the crowd blocking the alley saw the tiger coming, they not only did not hide, but even pretended not to see it, and kept looking at the gate of the Du family.

"Sister Xuanxuan, are these people your relatives? Why did you block the door?" Xiao Yizi asked in a low voice.

Xiao Xuanxuan frowned and said, "I don't have so many relatives at home. Look, they all carry so many gift boxes, they should be gifts."

"Give gifts? Why do relatives give gifts? These people are so good, they will give gifts to strangers." Xiao Yizi praised.

...Xiao Xuanxuan is almost defeated by this innocent little sister.

"They are not necessarily good people. You don't know that you live in the palace all day long. Giving gifts is something that is not a relative or accustomed to ask people for their affairs. If these people are not here to ask their father, they are here to ask their second wife for their affairs."

Little Eizi covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "Ah? Do you have to bring gifts to ask someone for help? Why?"

"At first glance, you just didn't ask anyone to do anything." Xiao Xuanxuan couldn't help but smile.

"No, I live in the palace all day and I have nothing to do. At most, I just ask my brother to help me bring some delicious food outside the palace." Xiao Yizi replied seriously.

Xiao Xuanxuan was in a good mood and began to explain to her sister that she gave gifts.

"You can't ask for help without empty-handed. You think, if you ask my uncle to bring you snacks, just ask him? Or give him some gifts he likes as a reward?

If you give gifts and ask others to help you, will the other party like the gifts very much? Will you help you soon?"

"Oh, so that's it.

But I don’t seem to be able to bring out anything my elder brother likes, and I don’t have to give him gifts. My elder brother is very nice to me. Sometimes he often brings me delicious food without me telling me…”

When Xiao Yizi recalled the love of the prince, she began to talk endlessly.

Xiao Xuanxuan was defeated again and quickly interrupted the other party, "So it's not absolute. Er Niang said that giving gifts is also divided into people. It's very knowledgeable. To putting what she likes is just the most basic and inferior one.

If you really want others to help you get things done, it is best to be mutually beneficial, so that people can feel that they will benefit from helping you. In this case, even if you don’t give gifts, it doesn’t matter.

Otherwise, if someone helps you not only won’t get any benefits, but even harms yourself, it’s useless to give you a lot of gifts.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Xuanxuan stopped and asked, "I said so much, do you understand?"

Little Shizi said in confusion: "No, Sister Xuanxuan, you are so awesome. You know a lot. If I knew everything like you, it would be great..."

It's over... Xiao Xuanxuan really wanted to vomit blood, and she wasted her mouth for a long time. The little girl's eyes were full of little stars, and she didn't know anything. So why did she talk to her so much?

"That's right, my grandma locked you up in the palace all day and was stunned. I'll tell her the other day that I'll let you come out to live in my house. Let's learn some real skills with Ernie...

Forget it, the front door can’t be left, let’s go home through the back door.” Xiao Xuanxuan complained, turning her head and walking towards the back door.

When she got home, she asked her mother about what was happening outside the gate.

Princess Changle smiled bitterly and said, "These people are all coming to our house to propose marriage."

"Proposal? Who are you proposing to? Could it be the second and fourth brothers? A few days ago, my father told them to get married as soon as possible." Xiao Xuanxuan said in surprise.

"Not even, everyone outside the door proposed marriage to your senior brother Di Renjie."

who???

Senior brother Di Renjie and Xiao Xuanxuan stood there on the spot. How is this possible? Senior brother is not much different from him, how old is he? Let’s propose marriage? Besides...

"Hmph, these people are really annoying. The eldest brother has a father and a mother, and he is not an orphan. Why did he come to our house for marriage?

He also dared to block the roads in and out of our family and see me go and beat them away..." Xiao Xuanxuan rushed out of the door with great momentum, called the big cat, and ran directly to the gate to drive people away.

Princess Changle couldn't even scream, so she could only remind her in the back to not hurt others and just scare her away.

Xiao Yizi said in confusion: "Fifth sister, why are these people blocking the front door but not one behind? Are they a little stupid? I don't know how easy it is to go through the back door?"

Princess Changle was amused at once, "My mistake, little sister, this is a matter of proposing marriage, and you can only go through the main door, not the back door. This is etiquette, and you will understand when you grow up."

Soon, a tiger roar came from outside the Du family's gate, followed by a clear child voice shouting: "Ha, my senior brother is not marrying, you will die of your heart, leave quickly, don't block my door again, otherwise I will enlarge the tiger bite people..."

Puff... Princess Changle, who pulled Xiaoji to the front yard, staggered at her feet, was burning and tender when her daughter said this, so she asked you to scare people. Your wording was also...

Not to mention, no matter how this trick is, the effect is immediate. The crowds rushing at the door were instantly scared to scatter. In a panic, many people even threw away gifts and just ran away.

Xiao Xuanxuan stood proudly at the door and looked at her record. After a moment, she saw the gift boxes scattered on the ground. She ran over and picked them up. "Xiao Miaomiao, come and help my sister pick up gifts. I will take them to the toy room in the backyard and ask my brother to help me open them. These are all my sister's spoils..."

After that, Xiao Du Zhong, who was learning to write in his small study, tightened his whole body for no reason and sneezes several times in a row.

In the clinic, Di Renjie was begging Du Shaoqing.

"Master, please help me and advise my parents that although the marriage is a big deal, the matchmaker's words, my disciple is still young and I really don't want to get engaged so early."

Du Shaoqing refused and said, "Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents, Teachers, your parents have the final say in your marriage. Although I don't want you to be promised too early, I don't want you to be promiscuous."

Di Renjie curled his lips and said, "Master, the disciple is marrying a wife, not promised him, I am not a girl."

"Oh? Is that right? Why didn't I see it?

Then tell me, which families do your parents like? Compared with the identity of the woman, who is the one who is raising the top?" Du Shaoqing deliberately joked.

I……

"Master, don't joke about your disciples. You don't know that my father is like those secular people. He said that he would have a woman from a five-native surname in this life. I'm so worried..." Di Renjie was almost crying.

Du Shaoqing laughed, stopped teasing his apprentice, and whispered an idea to him, saying, "If I come forward with this matter, although your parents will sell me an old face, it will not be beautiful.

I will teach you a clever plan. If you go and ask His Highness the Crown Prince for help, then you are also a subordinate of the Crown Prince now. Your marriage is not just your own business. I believe His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally know if he should refuse your parents."

“It really works?

Well, let’s first agree. If it still doesn’t work, Master, you must take action.”

Di Renjie left the clinic with a skepticism. After thinking about it, he decided to talk to his parents. If it really doesn't work, he can only ask for foreign aid.

Di Renjie's parents first came to Chang'an to live in the Du family, but a few days later, Di Zhixun followed his son's advice and resigned from his post as the magistrate of Zheng County, and instead joined the Du family chamber of commerce to help manage the business.

This was also Du Shaoqing's arrangement. The Du family chamber of commerce was short of people. Di Zhixun had been a county magistrate at least, and he did not ask him to do anything he could do. As long as they stayed in Chang'an and could take good care of it, they were afraid that they would put them outside again and were poisoned by enemies.

With a new job, it would be inappropriate to continue living in the Du family, so Di Renjie spent money to buy a private house in Changlefang, where the Du family chamber of commerce was located, just like the ones that Prince Li Chengqian had bought.

First, we can make a home at least, and second, we can get close to the office of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. The most important thing is safety.

As soon as Di Renjie walked into the house, he heard his parents arguing, and he stopped.

Mrs. Di complained, "What am I saying? You must not listen to it if you want to resign from your post. You are a good county magistrate, not to mention the grade, but also an official, and you will be looked up to by others wherever you go.

You insist on staying in Chang'an as a businessman, and you will be looked down upon wherever you go..."

Di Zhixun retorted: "What do you know about a woman? Do you think you will not be stepped on by someone as a county magistrate? If that is the case, how did we come to Chang'an? Why can't you understand the person who has died once?

What's wrong with the merchant? Mr. Du is the largest merchant in the world, but isn't it praised by everyone in the world?"

"You are still compared to Mr. Du? Are you shy or not?

OK, be good, marry a chicken, marry a dog, and follow a dog, I can't stop you from doing business, but look at the moment, your daughter is going to get married and your son is going to say kinship. If you are an official, we have the same reputation as others.

But you chose to resign from your office and do business at this time. How could you, a lowly businessman, sit with others? If our son's marriage is delayed, I can't spare you an old thing!" Mrs. Di also showed her domineering attitude. When it comes to protecting her son, everyone has to step aside.

After being ridiculed and scolded by his wife, Di Zhixun not only did not get angry, but laughed strangely. After calming down, he coaxed his wife to sit down and persuaded him: "Madam, don't worry. In terms of your son, you will not consider less than you.

Haven't you understood the current situation yet? Look at the people who come to ask for marriage these days. Which one is either rich or noble, they are asking to marry us, not us asking to marry someone else's daughter.

Among them, there are even five-family girls who can't even be imagined. They have a talented son of the top scholar. Are they still worried about marriage?

We just need to carefully select and find a woman who can give her son the greatest help in the future. This will help her greatest help."

Mrs. Di said angrily: "Yes, yes, you are an old fox and scheming, who doesn't know your little thoughts?

But don’t treat others as fools. How can the five surnames and seven families be together? Can you marry your daughter at will?

OK, even if I like our son, I will marry him.

Have you ever thought about it? Everyone knows that the Du family and the five surnames and Qi Wang are not in the way. Are you afraid of offending Du Fu Majesty at this time? He is Jie'er's master, and he also has a certain say in this marriage."

Di Zhixun comforted his solemnly and said confidently: "It is precisely because of this that I like the five surnames more. This is called taking advantage of both sides. No matter how successful and defeated the five surnames Qiwang and the Du family, our son's future will be protected by these two parties. Tsk, the future is promising, and it is promising..."

"Pooh……

I don't want to see you scheming others behind your back like this. I hope you have made the right choice. As long as you don't offend both sides if things are not done," Mrs. Di cursed.

"Ph, ma'am, how can you talk nonsense? Just slander the husband..." Di Zhixun complained.

At this time, Di Renjie pushed the door and came in, with a gloomy face and said, "Dad, the child is not getting married! Don't make up for it. The marriage is important. I will make decisions by myself when I grow up."

Ah? Jie'er, you...

"Bastard, what are you talking about? Marriage matters have always been the decision of parents. Could it be that you have learned to be disobedient and unfilial for a few years? If so, I will go to Mr. Du to ask clearly!" Di Zhixun said furiously.

Di Renjie said in shame and anger: "Okay, you just happen to be brave enough to learn from your master. Why do you take advantage of both sides and how do you plot against others behind your back?"

"You, you..." Di Zhixun's face was so embarrassed that he was flushed and unable to speak.

Di Renjie sneered: "Father, I can still remember the scene when you took me to the Du family to become a disciple. Could it be that now that the father can change his face to treat his master now?

When you have something to ask for, you are humble. Now, you can kick it away and make a calculation after using it.

Are you still my kind and upright father in this way?"

Puff... Di Zhixun was questioned repeatedly by his son, and he couldn't stand the blow and vomited blood.

Mrs. Di hurriedly supported her husband, begging in her eyes: "Jie'er, don't blame your father, he is all for your own good. Even if you are not satisfied with his character, he is still your father. He sacrifices his reputation to fulfill you..."

Hearing this, Di Renjie felt soft and he didn't say anything more. At this time, he had figured out why the master in the clinic had tried to refuse. Perhaps the master had expected these little plans of his parents. In order to avoid embarrassment, he deliberately kept his face and could meet in the future?

With a sigh, Di Renjie walked up to help his father on the chair and sat down. He reached out to take his pulse for the other party. It was not serious. He pushed him into the uterus and had nothing to do.

Di Zhixun, who came to his senses, grabbed Di Renjie who was about to leave, "Jie'er, stop, you have something to say to you for your father."

"If it's your so-called plan for my goodness, I'm not interested in listening and I don't want to get you out of illness anymore." Di Renjie said in a harsh tone.
