Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber
Chapter 192
Xiao Yin, who was standing next to Li Mo, stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Xing Dequan and the others, then stepped back and waited.
When the silver was distributed at the beginning, Xing Dequan certainly took the silver, and that part still accounted for the majority. Xing Dequan said disapprovingly:
"At that time, I took the silver, but we deserved the silver. It was the property of our Xing family. I should have taken it."
Seeing what he said, Li Mo asked:
"Since all the money has been given to you, eldest sister, and younger sister, what else is there for you to come to me now?"
Xing Dequan saw that Li Mo really didn't care as much about his natal family as before, and said:
"You haven't seen us all this time, you don't take care of us brothers and sisters, you don't know how chilling your parents will be if they find out, so you don't care about us brothers and sisters at all?"
Li Mo saw that he had been holding on to the fact that the Xing family was his natal family, and said a little boringly:
"As a big sister, I think I have taken care of you all these years! Now that you have already married and are so old, everyone has their own lives. Do you want me to follow you and watch you all the time? ?”
Li Mo thought to himself, if it was the original body, there might still be this possibility. It is my turn to send an annual gift back every year.
"If you have anything to say, hurry up, let me listen, there are still many guests waiting for me to entertain!" Li Mo made a gesture to get up and leave.
Seeing that Li Mo was about to leave, Xing Dequan didn't dare to dawdle anymore, and quickly said:
"You have been really cruel these years, and you didn't care about my only younger brother. Last time, I asked my brother-in-law to help me find a position as a small official. Now I have been sitting in this position for so many years. Now there is a There is a vacancy, you ask your brother-in-law to come forward and help me move the position!"
Li Mo knew that they must have something to ask of himself or Jia's mansion this time, so he said a little dissatisfied:
"Oh, you've been sitting in that position for so many years, you should know what you should know, I don't understand these things about you.
But our master paid a lot of price for helping you last time, so he made it clear to me that it was the last time to help you, and there is nothing he can do about your development in the future! "
If he hadn't asked Jia Amnesty himself, and Jia Amnesty ignored him, Xing Dequan would have been too lazy to beg this elder sister who is obviously only towards her husband's family, but the situation is stronger than others, so Xing Dequan could only say in a soft tone:
"Sister, help me go to my brother-in-law and ask him to come forward to help me again! After all, I am also your only biological brother. My mother's family is fine, and you will have face in Jia's house!"
Li Mo is too lazy to fight for this kind of face, not to mention that at this time, the higher-ups may already be watching Jia's house. If Jia She is asked to run for Xing Dequan's position at this time, it will fall into the eyes of the higher-ups. Isn't this obvious? Grasp the handle, is the evidence that the crime is added to the first class?
Li Mo refused and said:
"Our master has been at home all the time now, who would sell his face outside! Last time, he exhausted all the favors and took a lot of effort from the boss.
If it weren't for the fact that I gave birth to a son for the master, the master wouldn't bother with that.If you want to ask him again this time, I think the possibility is really unlikely. I can ask the master for you, but if it doesn't work in the end, then I have no choice! "
Hearing Li Mo's words obviously meant that it was difficult to do it, Xing Dequan could only try his best to say to Li Mo in a begging tone:
"Sister, you must help me beg him in front of my brother-in-law. Whether my brother will live well in the future depends entirely on this time!"
Although Li Mo really wanted to directly reject his request, in order not to appear too ruthless, he asked Jia Amnesty casually for him, and finally sent someone to send a message to Xing Dequan, saying that it could not be done.
Li Mo nodded, agreeing to intercede for him. Guessing that it had been a while since he had taken a break from his busy schedule, he looked at Xing Dequan and the others, and said:
"If there is nothing else, I should go, you go back first!"
Seeing that Li Mo was about to leave, Xing Dequan hurriedly shouted:
"Wait, we haven't finished talking yet!"
Li Mo stood up and urged:
"Is there anything that can't be finished at once? If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. If I don't go there, I will be blamed by the old lady later!"
Standing behind Xing De's body, Xing Xiuyan secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes to remind him not to forget to talk about her.
"You see, your niece is grown up now, we want you to help her find a suitable husband's family, buy her a dowry by the way, and save her face.
You also know that the Xing family's life is not rich, and it is not easy for my younger brother to help her grow up to such an age.
I asked my sister to help teach my niece before, but you disagreed. This time, it is related to Xiuyan's life, sister, you don't want to ignore it at all, do you? "
Li Mo glanced at Xing Xiuyan and saw that she bowed her head shyly and stood there silently. Li Mo thought for a while, and found a suitable husband's house for Xing Xiuyan, the niece whose parents both died. Can't.
As for the Xing family's plan to let me buy Xing Xiuyan's dowry, anyway, my own dowry is there on the bright side, and some things are not easy to put in the space. It's better to give Xing Xiu smoke!
Anyway, everyone is still a relative, and it is a very reasonable excuse to buy a dowry for their hard-working niece.
"Okay, when I'm free later, I'll pick out a few suitable homes for Xiuyan, and when the time comes, I'll have someone send them over. After you've seen it and think it's suitable, I'll decide on a home for her.
As for the dowry, you also know that after all the dowry I brought to Jia's house was distributed to you, after so many years, there is not much left. Even more difficult! "
Seeing that they listened to Li Mo's words, they thought that Li Mo didn't want to buy a dowry for Xing Xiuyan, so they were obviously in a hurry.
Li Mo then added unhurriedly:
"However, Xiuyan is also my niece, and it's not easy. I'll make it together, and it's okay to add some dowry to her. Xiuyan, don't dislike the things my aunt sent over when the time comes, you don't like it!"
Xing Xiuyan, as an orphan living under the watchful eyes of her aunt, has already learned to read people's faces, and now she dare not offend her aunt, so she said quickly:
"Auntie, you are too polite. You can remember Xiuyan, and Xiuyan is already very grateful. It's too late to thank you. How can I blame you!"
Li Mo nodded and said:
"I know everything you said. When there is news, I will send someone to inform you. Okay, I will go there first, and I will send you out of the mansion together later."
After Xing Dequan and the others were settled, Li Mo went back to continue entertaining the female relatives who came to visit. Everyone talked and laughed, ate and drank, and the voices of all the guests congratulated each other!
The women's side is more harmonious, while the men's side is much more relaxed. From time to time, Jia Lian's voice of drinking and shouting can be heard from there.
"Come on, everyone hurry up and finish this cup!"
"Wow, brother Pan is doing great, drink three more cups!"
"Brother Liu, it's quite straightforward today, as expected of our good brother!"
......
Jia Lian and the others just came so that the servants brought hangover soup to sober themselves up, and then returned to the guests to entertain the male guests who came today.
The atmosphere made them noisy, but it became very lively. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were also happily chatting with the guests and boasting about their babies at home. If you are happy, I am happy too!
"Seeing Baoyu today, he is really a good-looking talent! Seeing him very stable today, it can be seen that this married man is different!"
"That's right! I still remember when we saw Baoyu back then, he was still a little baby hiding in Jia Taijun's arms, and in a blink of an eye, he had grown into the jade tree facing the wind."
"Looking at Baoyu's beautiful appearance, the future will definitely be limitless!"
...
Today's protagonist is Jia Baoyu. After everyone praises Jia Baoyu all they can think of, it will make Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang feel relieved to hear it!
I thought that my Baoyu was born with jade and was born to be extraordinary. In the future, I can count on Baoyu to have a good future in my good life.
After Li Mo greeted some female relatives, he found a seat and sat down. He had been busy for a long time, and Li Mo was also a little tired.
Looking at the dishes on the banquet, Li Mo didn't feel greasy at all and didn't want to eat. Instead, he felt that his stomach was even hungrier.
Steamed sea bass, Yinguo double balls (fish balls and meatballs), red grilled elbow, steamed meat with lotus leaf powder, salted duck liver, fresh mushroom stewed soup, rice wine glutinous rice ball soup... Seeing these, Li Mo felt very good appetite , At least two big bowls of rice can be eaten.
To be honest, Li Mo hasn't had such a dish for quite a while. Thinking about the sad days ahead, if he wants to eat it, he can only cook it himself in the space.
Let’s take advantage of the opportunity and eat more made by others!
When the silver was distributed at the beginning, Xing Dequan certainly took the silver, and that part still accounted for the majority. Xing Dequan said disapprovingly:
