Chapter 209 Xibao is a light bulb
"Sima Zhao, do you know why I begged the emperor to see you?"
"Yunmeng, I know I've let you down, let the child down, let our ancestors down. But it's too late to regret now. I just hope you can raise our child to adulthood and not follow my old path. Tell the child not to seek revenge. This is all my own fault."
"I'm just afraid that the children will blame me after you leave. The children are grown up and know right from wrong. Since you said so, then you should talk to the children in person."
Yunmeng called her two children over.
"Remember to respect your mother. It was me who hurt you. I am uneducated and have no ability to distinguish right from wrong, so I ended up like this. It's all Dad's fault. In the future, you two must learn more skills and have a place to stand in society. Remember not to seek revenge. This is Dad's last request to you."
"Dad, we will remember this." The two children hugged Sima Zhao and cried bitterly.
Yunmeng was afraid that her son's values would be distorted, so she used Sima Zhao's words to awaken her children's rationality.
As children grow up, they have their own judgment and reasoning.
As the saying goes: When a dying man is about to die, his words are kind.
Yun Meng wanted to meet Sima Zhao to teach his children to distinguish right from wrong.
Situ Jin and Xia Luo returned to Kyoto and handed over all the property hidden by the bandit leader and the silver embezzled by Sima Zhao to the national treasury.
The strength of the national treasury has increased again.
Cao Zhize personally checked the silver in the treasury.
Be proud of the fullness of the treasury.
The manors in southern Xinjiang were under the management of the government office. This was the original intention of Situ Jin and Xia Luo, so that the villagers would have something to do, food to eat, and money to earn.
The wine production is well-known far and wide. From then on, the small town in southern Xinjiang also had its own specialty.
Although the spice factory is smaller than the winery, it is also very famous.
The two factories have greatly benefited the local people and the government's tax revenue has also increased.
Xia Yunyuan's grandfather heard that his second son had squandered all the family property in southern Xinjiang.
He was so angry that he fell seriously ill. On his deathbed, he was still thinking about how to redeem his family property.
He thought of the relationship between Xia Yunyuan, Situ Jin and Xia Luo.
"A Yuan, can you use your connections to get your uncle out? He was confused for a moment. Your uncle must have been tricked. You have a good relationship with the Crown Princess. Spend some money to beg her. Your uncle's life depends on you."
"Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to spend money to save my second uncle, but I can't spend it. Besides, my second uncle admitted defeat in the bet. He lost the family business, but he learned a lesson. Please don't spoil him."
"Grandpa knows you all think I'm biased. But the family business in Southern Xinjiang is the family business left by my ancestors. Even if I die, I will never be able to close my eyes."
The old man wailed for a while.
He died before he could catch his breath.
His physical condition is poor to begin with.
Plus such a big shock. He suffered from heart failure and passed away with regret.
Although the family had separated, Xia Yunyuan still had to take care of the old man's funeral.
Xia Yulin, who was far away in Southeast Asia, heard that his father had passed away.
He didn't have time to come back to attend the funeral.
Just send a message to express condolences. Say that you are unfilial.
The old man passed away, and no one was around to show respect to him.
Xia Yushi heard that his father had passed away in prison.
I cried so hard that I didn't know whether it was true filial piety or not.
In the end, it was Xia Yunyuan who handled the coffin and attended the funeral.
Many tribesmen were talking about it.
It is said that this old man is confused.
The grandson whom I look down upon, the one who is capable is still this grandson.
The eldest son's family served them wholeheartedly over the years, but the old man still did not treat them equally and finally left with regret.
Situ Jin and Xia Luo also attended the funeral.
I feel sad for the foolish things the old man did in his life.
People are gone. The living must continue.
Grandma couldn't let her live alone.
Xia Yunyuan had no choice but to bring his grandmother to his own farm.
A nanny and two maids were found to serve her.
From then on, the Xia family was considered a ruined family in the eyes of their clansmen.
The position of the head of the family was also taken away by the side branch.
Xia Yunyuan handed over all the clan’s businesses to that side branch.
Focus on being your own imperial businessman.
No one restrained him anymore.
The relationship between him and Naga also gradually escalated.
Planning to get married on the same day as Charlotte and the others.
Xia Yulin and Mina, who are far away in Southeast Asia, appreciate each other, learn from each other, and their relationship heats up quickly.
Mina has been living with Xuanxuan.
Xiyuan and Xibao went there. She didn't go home either.
As the guard protecting the embroidery workshop, Xia Yulin certainly wanted to meet Mina more often, so he stayed there closely.
Xia Yulin has high IQ and EQ.
Thanks to his promotion, the embroidery shop's business has been improved and its one-stop sales service has been well provided.
Whenever the young men and women from wealthy families wanted tailor-made clothes, he would personally go up to them to show his concern, greet them, get close to them, and chat about family matters.
Over time, almost all the customers he came into contact with came to him for customization next time.
He gained a group of loyal fans in Southeast Asia.
Every time a customer comes, he personally serves them a cup of milk tea.
When the customer left, he asked the waiter to bring some Mobei country gadgets to the customer as a souvenir.
For example, silk, gourds, brooches, magic cubes, etc.
Many of these gadgets were bought by Charlotte on Taobao in order to attract customers. They were all products of his previous life, so they were all very novel.
Liang Bo met Xiyuan in the embroidery workshop.
Because Charlotte mentioned Xiyuan's situation in the letter.
Xiyuan is introverted and not as outspoken as Xibao.
When Tielihua called Xiyuan over to meet Liang Bo, Xiyuan's face turned as red as an apple before he even reached the main room.
Liang Bo also liked Xiyuan, who looked like a petite girl.
But he was very rational and wanted to find out whether Xiyuan was his type during his stay in Nanyang.
Xiyuan was very satisfied when he saw Liang Bo.
But as a lady from a wealthy family, she is still very reserved.
Liang Bo is very busy, so he takes time out every week to invite Xiyuan to dinner at a restaurant.
Xibao follows me every time I eat.
Maybe Xibao is afraid that her sister won't be able to date? So she follows her every time?
Later, Xuanxuan let the secret slip, causing Tielihua to scold Xibao.
"Xibao, don't follow Xiyuan to the restaurant from now on. Your sister is going to date a guy, so why would she bring a light bulb like you?"
"My sister told me to follow. I didn't want to go either. They were holding hands and it was so awkward for me to watch them."
"Yeah, you're older now, and you'll have to find a boyfriend in a few years. If Xuanxuan follows you on a date, won't you feel embarrassed?"
"I am Xuanxuan's aunt, Xuanxuan will not embarrass me."
"Girls grow up and have their own private space. Xiyuan is shy. Next time she asks you to go, just refuse. Let her face it on her own."
"Okay. Next time she asks me to go, I'll say Xuanxuan wants to see me for something."
Xibao felt extremely uncomfortable every time she went with Xiyuan to see Liang Bo.
Liang Bo stared at Xi Yuan without even looking at her. When Xi Yuan saw Liang Bo, she forgot to take care of her sister. She had no choice but to lower her head and eat by herself.
Their little actions made Xibao extremely embarrassed.
Xibao said not to ask her to go next time, but Xiyuan always dragged her along.
When Tielihua said this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But she learned how to love.
Liang Bo was indeed kind to Xi Yuan and treated Xi Bao as his own sister.
Tielihua also talked to Liang Bo.
They don't want Xibao to get involved in their relationship. She's still a child.
Tielihua just wanted to remind Liang Bo that this was a date with Xiyuan, not a family dinner.
