Xia Jingui of the Red Chamber
Chapter 40
It was so great, Xia Jingui opened his hands, wanting to hug Mrs. Wei to express his joy, but quickly retracted his hands, covering his face with his hands and screaming, only in this way can he release the joy in his heart!But this kind of action still scared Mrs. Wei. When Xia Jingui put her hand down, she saw Mrs. Wei standing there with a surprised face. Xia Jingui calmed down the ups and downs in her heart, and then said to Mrs. Wei: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just think, how can you be so smart and come up with such an idea?"
It turned out to be like this, and the smile on Wei Niangzi's lips could not help but bring a trace of self-satisfaction: "My sister is too underestimating me. I can go to court to ask for remarriage. Is it the kind of person who will only stay at home and let her husband run around outside?" ?”
very nice!Xia Jingui let out a long breath, took Wei Niangzi's hand and said, "Okay, that's how it should be. My Xia family was able to marry you, it's really a blessing from my previous life."
Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and smiled. Mrs. Xia had already supported Baochan's shoulders and lifted the curtain to walk in. Mrs. Xia said to Xia Jingui with a terrified expression, "What happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly scream and scare me, didn't you?" ..."
"Mother, it's nothing, I'm just very happy, very happy!" Xia Jingui stepped forward and took Mrs. Xia's hand, comforted her, then turned to Mrs. Wei and said, "Hurry up, let someone go to the nursery and invite Uncle Chen back." , bring a few more buddies, and put this..."
"Sister, I just arranged for someone to go. I'm afraid Uncle Chen will be here now." Lady Wei interrupted Xia Jingui's words, her face became more and more complacent, Xia Jingui also laughed, forgetting that Lady Wei is also a Very thoughtful person.
"What are you two talking about?" Mrs. Xia asked in a daze.Xia Jingui smiled again: "Mother, you don't have to worry about such things, as long as you stay at home well, we will be filial to you anyway." Mrs. Xia snorted, still showing hesitation , Mrs. Wei also smiled: "What my sister said is, mother-in-law, you don't need to worry about it."
Mrs. Xia sighed for a long time: "Forget it, I am old too, and the property of the Xia family was almost destroyed in my hands. What can I say now, as long as you are doing well, no If you quarrel, give me a grandson after a while, and everything will be fine for me."
Xia Jingui burst out laughing, and Mrs. Wei also smiled slightly. The mother-in-law had come to report that Chen Jiao had brought someone, so Mrs. Wei and Xia Jingui hurried out, pointing Chen Jiao to get out the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of the window.
That night, both Xia Jingui and Wei Niangzi didn't even take a break. After lighting the lamps, they lit several thick candles. After being thrown in, Xia Jingui and Wei Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jiao squatted in front of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and observed it carefully for a long time, then turned his head and smiled at Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei, "This sweet-scented osmanthus tree is not as good as before, but it's not much worse, and I'm more careful this time. None of the roots are broken, so I will definitely be able to grow it alive."
After hearing this, Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei felt that a stone had fallen from their hearts. Xia Jingui nodded, and when he was about to speak, he felt dizzy for a while. Although his body was better than when he first passed through it, it was still Weak, otherwise what would a person of this age do if he stayed up all night?
But Xia Jingui didn't show it, and told Chen Jiao a few more words, ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Chen Jiao and the guys to eat, and Xia San also brought some other sweet-scented osmanthus saplings into the city, so Xia San and Chen Jiao After going to Zhu's house to hand over the osmanthus saplings, Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei went back to their rooms to rest.
Even after this rest, she couldn't sleep well, Xia Jingui lay on the bed, although her eyes were closed, her ears kept listening to the movement outside.After noon, I heard Xia San's joyful voice from outside. Xia Jingui hurriedly opened her eyes, and was about to get up after pushing away the quilt. Lie down for a while, and say..."
Xia Jingui turned a deaf ear, quickly put on the outer clothes, brushed her hair with her hands and wanted to go out, but it was Xiao Sheer who chased after her and gave her a few strokes with a comb.
Xia Jingui hurried to the main room, and saw a pile of silver placed in the middle of the main room, and a post next to the silver, Mrs. Xia was sitting next to the silver, and Xia San was foaming at her mouth and said to Mrs. Xia: "Mother, you I don’t know, Mr. Zhu first said that he had heard about the damaged osmanthus saplings, and he was still unwilling to accept it. Later, I was clever and said that this one is better, and Mr. Zhu looked carefully, so he accepted it.”
Xia Jingui couldn't help but chuckled, and interrupted Xia San's gesticulation. Xia San turned his head and saw Xia Jingui, ahed, and said, "Sister got up, and sister doesn't believe me?"
Xia Jingui smiled and said: "I believe, of course I believe you, but I think Uncle Chen deserves more credit." San Xia couldn't help but blushed slightly, and Mrs. Xia said with great joy: "Jingui, no matter what , this first business deal has finally been successfully completed, I want to offer incense to your father, and I have to say..."
"Mom!" Xia Jingui called Mrs. Xia reassuringly, and then said: "This is not urgent, and the guys have worked hard. I will calculate the interest this time. There will always be 800 taels. They say that there is no one who eats alone. Guys have worked hard these days, so I took out 100 taels of silver to reward guys, what do you think, mother?"
Mrs. Xia frowned, and Mrs. Wei's voice had already sounded: "Sister, I think I made a mistake in calculating this account. Didn't we calculate it before, didn't it mean that there was only 500 taels of interest at the top?"
Xia Jingui didn't look back: "That's the original, why did my sister forget, and what about the Sun's family? Tomorrow, it's time to send the sweet-scented osmanthus saplings to the Sun's family." Miss Wei remembered this, and walked to Xia Jingui In front of him: "Sister, I originally said that the Zhu family didn't want it and sent it to the Sun family. Now, why..."
A cold light flashed in Xia Jingui's eyes: "The Zhu family took back our saplings, not because of his grandson's efforts, but our family's own idea. The sweet-scented osmanthus saplings he promised to accept will naturally be collected. As for the flower viewing feast, Just let him do whatever he wants, love can't be opened!"
The next day he went with the sweet-scented osmanthus saplings, as well as Xia Jingui's words. Uncle Sun heard Chen Jiao faithfully conveyed Xia Jingui's words. It was enough to make Uncle Sun frown slightly.Chen Jiao has been watching the words and expressions, and just about to say something when he saw this, he saw Uncle Sun bent his fingers and knocked on the table: "What your aunt said is also very reasonable, so I will accept these saplings."
Chen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed his hands to Uncle Sun: "Thank you, Uncle Sun, our grandma also said about this matter..."
"No matter how you say this matter is our family's fault, naturally we can't get rid of the responsibility." Uncle Sun said this, and said: "Come here, bring a top-notch reward and give it to Steward Chen!"
It was time to see off the guests, Chen Jiao saluted and thanked Uncle Sun again, and followed Steward Liu to the cashier to exchange the money.
Uncle Sun looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus saplings in the yard, and a smile appeared on his lips. This aunt of the Xia family is interesting!Third Master Sun poked his head out from behind the screen, Uncle Sun didn't turn his head, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing there, come out!"
Third Master Sun came out with a big smile on his face, and gave Uncle Sun a hug: "Brother, I'm thinking, right now..."
"Thinking that the matter is over now, should I release Wang Xiaoer?" Uncle Sun said something coldly, and Third Master Sun bowed to the ground: "Brother, he also did it for..."
"It's true that only a master has a servant. You don't have the brains to think about it? You have to vent your anger. You have too many ideas. Why use such a childish idea and get involved in such a big|trouble. If it's not for luck, I'm afraid At this moment, I still can’t tear them apart!” Uncle Sun scolded his younger brother bitterly, and Third Master Sun responded repeatedly: “Yes, elder brother taught you the right thing, but it is said that you will gain wisdom through a pitfall, little one.” Er, he won't use this method anymore. Brother, Xiao Er followed me, and he never suffered any hardships since he was a child. Look..."
"So at this moment, let him suffer a little bit!" Uncle Sun interrupted his brother's pleading again, looked up and saw his brother was depressed, and softened his voice: "Besides, he didn't suffer much in the woodshed, didn't he? Sleep in a different place, lock him up for a few more days, grind your temper!"
It seems that there is no way to plead for mercy. Third Master Sun sighed depressedly and could only agree reluctantly. Seeing that Uncle Sun picked up the post to look at it again, Third Master Sun leaned over and took a look: "This Aunt Xia, It turned out to be the eldest grandma of the Xue family, and I heard that she was extremely vicious and forced her husband to stay at home, so she was divorced."
"But you know these things." Uncle Sun scolded his younger brother, and Third Master Sun rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly: "It wasn't that time when I was sick, but I got better later, Xiaoer took me out to relax, and I also bumped into him on the road. Her carriage, I heard from Xiao Er later, hey, if it wasn't for the illness last year..."
It was because Sun Sanye was seriously ill last year, and although he recovered later, the Zhu family climbed up to another family at this time, so they came to divorce the engagement on the grounds that Sun Sanye was not in good health.Thinking of this, Uncle Sun's face turned ugly. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and the Zhu family will know that their choice was wrong sooner or later.
But Uncle Sun didn't say anything to his younger brother, just coughed softly: "Okay, don't worry about other people's affairs, go read your book carefully, I have to think about where these sweet-scented osmanthus saplings are planted so that they can be given to others." Do you have a good sign?"
☆, upside down
Third Master Sun smiled again: "Thank you, brother, I'm going down." Uncle Sun watched his brother go down, but the few words he said just now were circling in his mind. This aunt of the Xia family is really different from others Ah, but, being so fierce, it's no wonder she was divorced by her in-laws.
In front of Uncle Sun, that beautiful face seemed to appear again. Uncle Sun shook his head, shaking this face away from his eyes. What women want is to be virtuous and virtuous to be able to run the house, not to pretend to be weak and strong at the same time. woman.This kind of woman deserves to be divorced.After Uncle Sun came to a conclusion, he felt calm and continued to think about his own affairs.
Chen Jiao came out from Sun's house, returned to Xia's house, and handed over the silver. Seeing that things went so smoothly, Xia Jingui asked Chen Jiao to ask a few questions, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Why is Uncle Sun so tempered today?A few days ago, it was obviously not such a person.Mrs. Wei brought her maid to put away the money. Seeing Xia Jingui frowned slightly, she smiled and said to Xia Jingui, "This Uncle Sun is also a real gentleman after thinking about it. After agreeing to my sister, why would I go back on my promise? Sister, don't think about it anymore." , my mother-in-law asked someone to make new clothes for my sister, and also made new jewelry, so I can wear them to Zhu's house for a banquet!"
Although Mrs. Xia was not good at doing business, she was very good at spending money. Even Xia Jingui couldn't be picky about the clothes and jewelry she picked out. Now that Mrs. Wei said this, Xia Jingui also said hard work to Chen Jiao, Let him go down, and said with a smile to Mrs. Wei: "I invite you, I'm just an accompanying guest, why do you want to steal your light?"
"My sister is joking again. You and I are a family now, so we should complement each other. How can I steal your light?" Mrs. Wei's words made Xia Jingui joke with her, and then put down her worries and waited intently. On the day of Zhu's flower viewing feast, I had better go to Zhu's to enjoy flowers.
This time, it can be said that the Xia family's reputation is to be truly established. Looking at the exquisite clothes and jewelry, Xia Jingui was smiling with Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Wei's wife, but she was not at all relaxed.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Zhu family's flower feast. Mrs. Wei and Xia Jingui came together. Before getting out of the carriage, Mrs. Wei raised the curtain and looked out, and exclaimed: "The guests invited by the Zhu family today, I'm afraid it's a lot!"
In this capital, every inch of land is expensive, and the Zhu family's house does not occupy a large area, but at this moment, it can be seen that from the entrance of the alley to the gate of Zhu's house, there are all carriages parked, and it is very lively to greet and send them off.
"The Zhu family wants to take advantage of today to make a good reputation." Xia Jingui guessed in his heart that the housekeeper of the Zhu family had already come to the car to salute Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei: "Grandma Xia, Grandma Xia, today Our master also borrowed a house next door to entertain guests, and the female guests will go to that house, and I have to ask two to take care of it. There are too many people at the moment, so please get out of the car with the younger one and walk there. Fortunately, there are only a few walk."
Although the Zhu family has been away from Beijing for a long time, the etiquette of these servants is still so considerate. Xia Jingui smiled and asked Xiao Sheer to help him down. When getting off the car, the housekeeper of the Zhu family helped Xia Jingui. Xiao Sheer said: "Reward!"
Xiao She'er hurriedly took out the reward envelope, and the housekeeper lady of the Zhu family accepted the reward and became more affectionate to Xia Jingui. After Mrs. Wei got out of the car, the group went to the reception area. People stopped him, and the male guest came in from the other side, and a mat shed was set up in the middle, which happened to be invisible to both sides.This Zhu family does things differently from those nouveau riche families.
Xia Jingui walked and watched all the way, and the joy in his heart was about to overflow. The Zhu family's flower viewing banquet was in full bloom today, and Xia's osmanthus flowers came back to the sight of the people in the capital.What could be more satisfying in life than earning a lot of money?The smile on Xia Jingui's face became more peaceful and calm, and he and Mrs. Wei entered the reception area. There were already many osmanthus trees on both sides, and those large and small osmanthus trees were dotted with flower buds that looked like broken gold.
Mrs. Wei and Xia Jingui went to say hello to Mrs. Zhu first, and then followed the crowd to watch the sweet-scented osmanthus. As for the largest sweet-scented osmanthus tree, it was planted in the garden of Zhu's family. I'll see it after the banquet is finished today. It's a good time to invite the women's relatives to watch the play.
"Look, this sweet-scented osmanthus tree is so small, but it is full of flowers. Who did the Zhu family buy this sweet-scented osmanthus tree from? It's so good." Some guests who had arrived earlier praised while admiring it.
When Xia Jingui heard this, she felt as happy as drinking honey. What could be happier than being praised for her goods?
"If you want to find out, you might as well find this family and buy a few." Xia Jingui was even happier when she heard more than one person say this. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Mrs. Zhu walking over. Xia Jingui hurriedly talked to Mrs. Zhu Greetings, Mrs. Zhu also greeted with a smile, and a guest asked: "Mrs. Zhu, where did you buy your sweet-scented osmanthus? It looks quite different from the flowers that are available in the market. "
Everyone likes to hear good things, and Mrs. Zhu is no exception. She looked at Xia Jingui with a smile: "Here, it's far away from the sky and right in front of you. You've all heard the name of the Osmanthus Xia family, and the osmanthus saplings in the humble house are He He bought it."
As soon as the words Osmanthus Xia's family came out, there was a slight change in the expression of everyone present, and one person said in doubt: "Mrs. Doing business with the mood has already failed for three or four years.”
"That's right, not only that, I also heard that Aunt Xia is a shrew, really, hey, do you know? The Ningrong Second Mansion whose house was confiscated two days ago, the nephew of Mrs. Wang in Rongguo Mansion, is this Aunt Xia's uncle, the couple had a bad relationship, and then this uncle beat him to death and sent him to prison."
Xia Jingui was planning to follow Mrs. Zhu's words to promote her family's sweet-scented osmanthus, when she heard the news that Ning Rong's Second Mansion was ransacked, and because she had too many things to do, she forgot to calculate when, Ning Rong's Second Mansion should also be ransacked.Xia Jingui took a deep breath, suppressed the melancholy that came up, and smiled on his face: "Everyone only knows one thing, but the other is that my mother was old, but now my mother has adopted a son, so we discussed, or To get this business going."
Everyone is a smart person, so those who gossip also stop gossiping and look at Xia Jingui. Xia Jingui takes a deep breath and smiles at everyone: "My surname is Xia, and the grandma Xia that you mentioned just now is me. Originally, the matter of marriage, I have to tie a red string, it was cultivated in my previous life, who knows that I didn’t cultivate in my previous life, my marriage was not harmonious, and my mother loves me so much, so I took me home, my mother loves me so much, fortunately, I get along well with my brothers and sisters-in-law, so... ..."
Xia Jingui originally wanted to pretend to be touched on purpose to make her eyelashes full of tears, but when she thought of all kinds of things, the tears really came down. Xia Jingui wiped the tears with her hands, and the makeup on her face was a little bit faded.Xia Jingui tried hard to keep the tears from flowing: "The matter of marriage, originally, originally..."
Most of the people had heard the legends from the people in Beijing, and they had never seen the real Xia Jingui. Now Xia Jingui was standing in front of him, a soft and weak beauty, crying sadly there again. Everyone couldn't help but move the weight to Xia Jingui's side. Someone remembered the rumors about Xue Pan, and couldn't help nodding and sighing along with Xia Jingui: "Hey, this trust is not human, and only we women know the crying in it."
"That's right, I once heard that before Mr. Xue came to Beijing, he beat a young master to death for the sake of a maidservant. With the help of his good relatives, everything will be fine." : "I also heard that the imperial court raided the house of Ningrong Second Mansion this time. Mr. Xue also has something to do with it. I heard that he bullies men and women outside and does all kinds of evil."
Everyone nodded again, and looked at Xia Jingui with more sympathy. Mrs. Wei was talking on the other side, but when she saw that everyone was coming this way, she also came over. Sighing, with a sad face: "My mother-in-law originally thought she was an old relative, so she didn't find out clearly, so she married my sister. Who knew that after the marriage, the house was collapsed, and it turned out to be a family with no distinction between wives and concubines. Where is my sister? I am embarrassed to say that I am wronged!"
Speaking of Mrs. Wei's tears falling more urgently: "Even if you say it, people will only say that it's all bad for being a woman. My mother-in-law really loves my sister, so she gritted her teeth and took her back. Otherwise, it would be in vain. Is it possible to guard the death row for a lifetime?" Xia Jingui was sweating listening there, and this lady Wei spoke more vernacular than herself.
Speaking of Mrs. Wei wiping her tears with a handkerchief, those words really aroused the sympathy of many people present, and the fact that the Xia family was defeated, everyone had imagined that Xue Pan spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, Xia Jingui When it came to the lonely and pitiful thing, some people even thought that Xue Pan was charged with beheading. I am afraid that Xia Jingui was beaten several times when he was in this house.
Such a delicate beauty is really going to do it.Some people couldn't help but say it, and Xia Jingui couldn't help but drip a drop of cold sweat on his forehead at the moment, but if he wanted to deny it, it would be bad for Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei also knew that everyone couldn't let everyone think about it anymore, she raised her head and said to Mrs. Zhu: "I'm really sorry, we didn't want to say it at first, and my sister never said a word. It's all my fault, my fault." Standing up, he went down to Mrs. Zhu, and Mrs. Zhu hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Wei: "It's not your fault, as a woman, you are naturally very good when you are in your mother's house. When you leave the pavilion, you will just let the wind blow. The place is what kind of fate."
☆, post
Everyone also comforted in unison, and Mrs. Wei said a few more words for the Xue family, but Xia Jingui had just married at that time and was young and ignorant. When she saw such a thing, her voice was a little louder, and in the end she was rumored to be jealous. reputation.
At this moment, everyone believed that Xia Jingui was better than the rumors in the market. After talking for a while, Mrs. Zhu asked Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei to go down to wash and change their clothes before returning to sit at the table.Xia Jingui and Wei Niangzi followed the Zhu family to the room, and when they were waiting for hot water to be served, Xia Jingui said, "Sister, what you just said..."
"Sister, of course I know that what I said just now is a bit untrue to the Xue family, but sister, let me tell you something, when my mother-in-law went to break up with the Xue family, the two families had already broken up. It’s true that the one from the Xue family is a death row prisoner.”
Mrs. Wei's words made Xia Jingui forcefully smile. A maid from the Zhu family had already entered with a water basin. Mrs. Wei squeezed Xia Jingui's hand. It is understandable for Mrs. Wei to say that the Xue family is not good at all for the sake of the reputation of the Xia family.
Xia Jingui groaned and put his hands into the water basin, the water surface swayed slightly, Xia Jingui looked down at himself on the water surface, and smiled slightly, the past is all over.
The ransacking of Ningrong and Rongfu's houses was a major event, and there were many people talking about it in the capital. What Wei Niangzi said at the Zhu family's flower feast quickly spread throughout the capital.Because Xue Pan is a death row prisoner, he will be executed in autumn, this time, more people believe in Xia Jingui.Although Sun Sanye was studying in Zhuangzi, Wang Xiaoer's injury had healed long ago, and he kept staring at Zhu's family, wishing that Zhu's family would be unlucky earlier, so he also inquired about Zhu's family's flower feast, and he also asked about it. Angrily came back and said to Mr. Sun: "Mr. Xia, that aunt of the Xia family, even said that she was very pitiful. Pooh, she sat on the ground and cried when she was outside that day. I have never seen it before." Which wife and grandma are like this."
Third Master Sun blinked, and before he could speak, he heard Uncle Sun's voice outside the study: "Xiao Er, you are talking nonsense again, how many other wives and grandmas have you met?"
Wang Xiaoer rushed out to greet her, and said with some grievances: "Master, you have wronged me for saying that. Back then, when Grandma was still alive, how could it be that the little ones didn't see it? Besides, those sisters of Grandma, who are you?" Auntie looks like this?"
Third Master Sun also came out of the study, smiled at Uncle Sun and said, "Brother, Xiao Er heard some things about the Zhu family from outsiders, so he was not angry and came to tell me again. In fact, this aunt of the Xia family, As a brother, I don't understand what it looks like."
Uncle Sun said oh, walked into the study and sat down, and then said to Wang Xiaoer: "You have been with your third master for so many years, have you never heard the phrase why a man has no wife? ?”
Wang Xiaoer poured the tea and knelt down to Uncle Sun with a smile: "The teachings of the uncle, the younger ones remember, but the younger ones still remember..."
"Look, look, it's been three days without a fight, and the roof tiles have been removed. Get up, I'm here to discuss with your third master, and the flower viewing banquet will be held here." Uncle Sun's words came to an end. , Wang Xiaoer clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, sir, let me tell you, we need to invite a few more beautiful ladies. In this case, let our master choose one..."
Third Master Sun's face turned red immediately, and he scolded Wang Xiaoer: "You know how to talk nonsense with your mouth, go down." Wang Xiaoer stuck out his tongue, rubbed against the door and walked out.
Third Master Sun sat next to Uncle Sun, and then said to Uncle Sun: "Brother, you know that although Xiao Er is a servant, but..."
"Okay, okay, don't intercede, don't I know what kind of person Xiao Er is?" Uncle Sun glanced at his younger brother before speaking slowly, and Third Master Sun smiled a little shyly.Only then did Uncle Sun groan: "However, what he said just now has some truth. I should find you a suitable wife. The flower viewing banquet will be held here, and I will invite my elder sister back to organize it."
Third Master Sun's face turned even redder. To cover up his embarrassment, he smiled and said, "The Zhu family's flower viewing party invited the two of Xia's family, so for our family's flower viewing party, do you want to..."
Uncle Sun's eyebrows immediately formed a pimple. Uncle Sun also heard the rumors during this period. Uncle Sun is now even more dissatisfied with Xia Jingui. , She didn't remember at all that her husband was the head of the husband. After leaving Xue's house, she spread rumors outside. This kind of woman simply shouldn't be in this world.
But Uncle Sun also knew that these words could only be slandered in his stomach, and he could not say them out loud, otherwise it would be a false comment on other family's boudoir reputation.So Uncle Sun just stared at Third Master Sun: "I told you to let the elder sister handle this matter, so what are you worrying about?" Third Master Sun answered in a low voice, picked up the book on the side and pretended to be very hardworking .
Uncle Sun smiled and left the study, leaving his younger brother to study in the study.
"Is this a post from the Sun family?" Xia Jingui asked Madam Wei in surprise when she saw the post in Mrs. Wei's hand, and Madam Wei frowned slightly: "It's just that this post is not easy to handle, so the Sun family is also Our big customer, his family has posted an invitation, so we should go there happily, but our family and the Zhu family are obviously closer. There is a rift between the Zhu and Sun families. This is a well-known thing. This is one, and the second is that I have inquired about the Sun family's flower viewing feast, and invited several wives to bring their daughters there. The Sun family is probably going to choose a wife for Third Master Sun. Look, it's another relationship with the Zhu family. If you don't go, you will inevitably offend the Sun family again, and I'm worrying right now."
Sure enough, he was a petty man. He must have felt that he had discredited him and cheated him of a sum of money that day, so he did this on purpose. If he really didn't go then, he didn't know what this petty man would say behind his back. Bad words.I really would rather offend a villain than a gentleman.Xia Jingui frowned while holding the post.
Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment before saying: "Actually, it's better for my sister to go in person. When I come, my sister..."
"Don't try to persuade me. I naturally know what the overall situation is. Of course I will go." Xia Jingui came back to his senses, put the post on the table, and smiled at Mrs. Wei.
Lady Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and Xia Jingui stretched out her hand to pat her face: "What do you have to say to me, let's just say that you and I still need to support each other, so why bother to be that kind of petty brat?" Like, dare not say anything?" Wei Niangzi smiled: "Yes, I would like to follow my sister's teaching."
Xia Jingui smiled again, Mrs. Wei suddenly remembered something, and said to Xia Jingui: "Speaking of which, I met someone that day, and she also said that the concubine of the Xue family gave birth to a son just after Qixi Festival. My son is thinking of sending money to the Ministry of Punishment, hoping that the man will be executed a few days later, and after a hundred days, the child can go to see his father."
Xiangling gave birth to a son?This news didn't arouse any reaction from Xia Jingui. After all, she couldn't be saved, she couldn't be helped, and the only one who could be saved was herself.Xia Jingui's silence startled Madam Wei, she hurriedly comforted Xia Jingui: "If my sister doesn't want to listen, I won't say anything."
"Those past events are like previous lives, sister, how can I care about the rights and grievances of those previous lives?"
Xia Jingui's words made Mrs. Wei laugh: "Yes, what my sister said is good. Those things are the past. From now on, my sister will always be the aunt of the Xia family." Xia Jingui also laughed, and it was time to meet that petty man. It is really the top model of straight male cancer in ancient times.
"Oh, the Xue family's concubine gave birth to a son?" Uncle Sun had a smile on his lips, and Steward Liu asked Uncle Sun strangely: "Why would you ask about the Xue family? Aunt Xia, even though she was married to Xue However, the Xue family has already divorced her. Although the Xue family said that the concubine was righted, they were just coaxing their own family there. I heard that the second master Xue and the second grandma Xue are not bad. The two of them followed Mrs. Xue and lived in an old house of the Xue family. The place was small and there were few servants. The young one heard that there were only two or three servants left in their house at the moment, and the maids even Except for the three close-fitting ones, there is nothing else. It is also a loss..."
Butler Liu's chatter was interrupted by Uncle Sun: "Okay, what are you doing with such a pile? Who cares about the life of Second Master Xue, Second Grandma Xue, and Mrs. Xue?"
Butler Liu responded again and again: "Yes, yes, I was confused. What the uncle asked was about Aunt Xia's previous stay at Xue's house. Sir, it's not easy to hide this from others. It's true that Aunt Xia is here at Xue's house. 12 is very fierce, the young one even found a housekeeper in the Rongguo Mansion, and heard from him that Uncle Xue wanted to go out to do business because Grandma Xue was making noise at home day and night, but he accidentally broke the door before he went out. He took someone else's head. Hey, sir, whoever wants to marry such a troublemaker really..."
Uncle Sun looked at Steward Liu with some annoyance: "Who said you're going to marry her? How can such a woman be worthy of being the wife of my Sun family?"
Butler Liu was even more strange now, but he still asked: "Since you don't want to marry her, sir, why did you ask me to inquire about it? Anyway, it's just a business relationship, and nothing else."
"You know, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every battle! This woman has made me suffer a lot from the boss, and I will definitely get back." Uncle Sun didn't even know how fierce his tone was at the moment.
It turned out to be like this, and the smile on Wei Niangzi's lips could not help but bring a trace of self-satisfaction: "My sister is too underestimating me. I can go to court to ask for remarriage. Is it the kind of person who will only stay at home and let her husband run around outside?" ?”
very nice!Xia Jingui let out a long breath, took Wei Niangzi's hand and said, "Okay, that's how it should be. My Xia family was able to marry you, it's really a blessing from my previous life."
Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and smiled. Mrs. Xia had already supported Baochan's shoulders and lifted the curtain to walk in. Mrs. Xia said to Xia Jingui with a terrified expression, "What happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly scream and scare me, didn't you?" ..."
"Mother, it's nothing, I'm just very happy, very happy!" Xia Jingui stepped forward and took Mrs. Xia's hand, comforted her, then turned to Mrs. Wei and said, "Hurry up, let someone go to the nursery and invite Uncle Chen back." , bring a few more buddies, and put this..."
"Sister, I just arranged for someone to go. I'm afraid Uncle Chen will be here now." Lady Wei interrupted Xia Jingui's words, her face became more and more complacent, Xia Jingui also laughed, forgetting that Lady Wei is also a Very thoughtful person.
"What are you two talking about?" Mrs. Xia asked in a daze.Xia Jingui smiled again: "Mother, you don't have to worry about such things, as long as you stay at home well, we will be filial to you anyway." Mrs. Xia snorted, still showing hesitation , Mrs. Wei also smiled: "What my sister said is, mother-in-law, you don't need to worry about it."
Mrs. Xia sighed for a long time: "Forget it, I am old too, and the property of the Xia family was almost destroyed in my hands. What can I say now, as long as you are doing well, no If you quarrel, give me a grandson after a while, and everything will be fine for me."
Xia Jingui burst out laughing, and Mrs. Wei also smiled slightly. The mother-in-law had come to report that Chen Jiao had brought someone, so Mrs. Wei and Xia Jingui hurried out, pointing Chen Jiao to get out the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of the window.
That night, both Xia Jingui and Wei Niangzi didn't even take a break. After lighting the lamps, they lit several thick candles. After being thrown in, Xia Jingui and Wei Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jiao squatted in front of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and observed it carefully for a long time, then turned his head and smiled at Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei, "This sweet-scented osmanthus tree is not as good as before, but it's not much worse, and I'm more careful this time. None of the roots are broken, so I will definitely be able to grow it alive."
After hearing this, Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei felt that a stone had fallen from their hearts. Xia Jingui nodded, and when he was about to speak, he felt dizzy for a while. Although his body was better than when he first passed through it, it was still Weak, otherwise what would a person of this age do if he stayed up all night?
But Xia Jingui didn't show it, and told Chen Jiao a few more words, ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Chen Jiao and the guys to eat, and Xia San also brought some other sweet-scented osmanthus saplings into the city, so Xia San and Chen Jiao After going to Zhu's house to hand over the osmanthus saplings, Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei went back to their rooms to rest.
Even after this rest, she couldn't sleep well, Xia Jingui lay on the bed, although her eyes were closed, her ears kept listening to the movement outside.After noon, I heard Xia San's joyful voice from outside. Xia Jingui hurriedly opened her eyes, and was about to get up after pushing away the quilt. Lie down for a while, and say..."
Xia Jingui turned a deaf ear, quickly put on the outer clothes, brushed her hair with her hands and wanted to go out, but it was Xiao Sheer who chased after her and gave her a few strokes with a comb.
Xia Jingui hurried to the main room, and saw a pile of silver placed in the middle of the main room, and a post next to the silver, Mrs. Xia was sitting next to the silver, and Xia San was foaming at her mouth and said to Mrs. Xia: "Mother, you I don’t know, Mr. Zhu first said that he had heard about the damaged osmanthus saplings, and he was still unwilling to accept it. Later, I was clever and said that this one is better, and Mr. Zhu looked carefully, so he accepted it.”
Xia Jingui couldn't help but chuckled, and interrupted Xia San's gesticulation. Xia San turned his head and saw Xia Jingui, ahed, and said, "Sister got up, and sister doesn't believe me?"
Xia Jingui smiled and said: "I believe, of course I believe you, but I think Uncle Chen deserves more credit." San Xia couldn't help but blushed slightly, and Mrs. Xia said with great joy: "Jingui, no matter what , this first business deal has finally been successfully completed, I want to offer incense to your father, and I have to say..."
"Mom!" Xia Jingui called Mrs. Xia reassuringly, and then said: "This is not urgent, and the guys have worked hard. I will calculate the interest this time. There will always be 800 taels. They say that there is no one who eats alone. Guys have worked hard these days, so I took out 100 taels of silver to reward guys, what do you think, mother?"
Mrs. Xia frowned, and Mrs. Wei's voice had already sounded: "Sister, I think I made a mistake in calculating this account. Didn't we calculate it before, didn't it mean that there was only 500 taels of interest at the top?"
Xia Jingui didn't look back: "That's the original, why did my sister forget, and what about the Sun's family? Tomorrow, it's time to send the sweet-scented osmanthus saplings to the Sun's family." Miss Wei remembered this, and walked to Xia Jingui In front of him: "Sister, I originally said that the Zhu family didn't want it and sent it to the Sun family. Now, why..."
A cold light flashed in Xia Jingui's eyes: "The Zhu family took back our saplings, not because of his grandson's efforts, but our family's own idea. The sweet-scented osmanthus saplings he promised to accept will naturally be collected. As for the flower viewing feast, Just let him do whatever he wants, love can't be opened!"
The next day he went with the sweet-scented osmanthus saplings, as well as Xia Jingui's words. Uncle Sun heard Chen Jiao faithfully conveyed Xia Jingui's words. It was enough to make Uncle Sun frown slightly.Chen Jiao has been watching the words and expressions, and just about to say something when he saw this, he saw Uncle Sun bent his fingers and knocked on the table: "What your aunt said is also very reasonable, so I will accept these saplings."
Chen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed his hands to Uncle Sun: "Thank you, Uncle Sun, our grandma also said about this matter..."
"No matter how you say this matter is our family's fault, naturally we can't get rid of the responsibility." Uncle Sun said this, and said: "Come here, bring a top-notch reward and give it to Steward Chen!"
It was time to see off the guests, Chen Jiao saluted and thanked Uncle Sun again, and followed Steward Liu to the cashier to exchange the money.
Uncle Sun looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus saplings in the yard, and a smile appeared on his lips. This aunt of the Xia family is interesting!Third Master Sun poked his head out from behind the screen, Uncle Sun didn't turn his head, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing there, come out!"
Third Master Sun came out with a big smile on his face, and gave Uncle Sun a hug: "Brother, I'm thinking, right now..."
"Thinking that the matter is over now, should I release Wang Xiaoer?" Uncle Sun said something coldly, and Third Master Sun bowed to the ground: "Brother, he also did it for..."
"It's true that only a master has a servant. You don't have the brains to think about it? You have to vent your anger. You have too many ideas. Why use such a childish idea and get involved in such a big|trouble. If it's not for luck, I'm afraid At this moment, I still can’t tear them apart!” Uncle Sun scolded his younger brother bitterly, and Third Master Sun responded repeatedly: “Yes, elder brother taught you the right thing, but it is said that you will gain wisdom through a pitfall, little one.” Er, he won't use this method anymore. Brother, Xiao Er followed me, and he never suffered any hardships since he was a child. Look..."
"So at this moment, let him suffer a little bit!" Uncle Sun interrupted his brother's pleading again, looked up and saw his brother was depressed, and softened his voice: "Besides, he didn't suffer much in the woodshed, didn't he? Sleep in a different place, lock him up for a few more days, grind your temper!"
It seems that there is no way to plead for mercy. Third Master Sun sighed depressedly and could only agree reluctantly. Seeing that Uncle Sun picked up the post to look at it again, Third Master Sun leaned over and took a look: "This Aunt Xia, It turned out to be the eldest grandma of the Xue family, and I heard that she was extremely vicious and forced her husband to stay at home, so she was divorced."
"But you know these things." Uncle Sun scolded his younger brother, and Third Master Sun rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly: "It wasn't that time when I was sick, but I got better later, Xiaoer took me out to relax, and I also bumped into him on the road. Her carriage, I heard from Xiao Er later, hey, if it wasn't for the illness last year..."
It was because Sun Sanye was seriously ill last year, and although he recovered later, the Zhu family climbed up to another family at this time, so they came to divorce the engagement on the grounds that Sun Sanye was not in good health.Thinking of this, Uncle Sun's face turned ugly. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and the Zhu family will know that their choice was wrong sooner or later.
But Uncle Sun didn't say anything to his younger brother, just coughed softly: "Okay, don't worry about other people's affairs, go read your book carefully, I have to think about where these sweet-scented osmanthus saplings are planted so that they can be given to others." Do you have a good sign?"
☆, upside down
Third Master Sun smiled again: "Thank you, brother, I'm going down." Uncle Sun watched his brother go down, but the few words he said just now were circling in his mind. This aunt of the Xia family is really different from others Ah, but, being so fierce, it's no wonder she was divorced by her in-laws.
In front of Uncle Sun, that beautiful face seemed to appear again. Uncle Sun shook his head, shaking this face away from his eyes. What women want is to be virtuous and virtuous to be able to run the house, not to pretend to be weak and strong at the same time. woman.This kind of woman deserves to be divorced.After Uncle Sun came to a conclusion, he felt calm and continued to think about his own affairs.
Chen Jiao came out from Sun's house, returned to Xia's house, and handed over the silver. Seeing that things went so smoothly, Xia Jingui asked Chen Jiao to ask a few questions, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Why is Uncle Sun so tempered today?A few days ago, it was obviously not such a person.Mrs. Wei brought her maid to put away the money. Seeing Xia Jingui frowned slightly, she smiled and said to Xia Jingui, "This Uncle Sun is also a real gentleman after thinking about it. After agreeing to my sister, why would I go back on my promise? Sister, don't think about it anymore." , my mother-in-law asked someone to make new clothes for my sister, and also made new jewelry, so I can wear them to Zhu's house for a banquet!"
Although Mrs. Xia was not good at doing business, she was very good at spending money. Even Xia Jingui couldn't be picky about the clothes and jewelry she picked out. Now that Mrs. Wei said this, Xia Jingui also said hard work to Chen Jiao, Let him go down, and said with a smile to Mrs. Wei: "I invite you, I'm just an accompanying guest, why do you want to steal your light?"
"My sister is joking again. You and I are a family now, so we should complement each other. How can I steal your light?" Mrs. Wei's words made Xia Jingui joke with her, and then put down her worries and waited intently. On the day of Zhu's flower viewing feast, I had better go to Zhu's to enjoy flowers.
This time, it can be said that the Xia family's reputation is to be truly established. Looking at the exquisite clothes and jewelry, Xia Jingui was smiling with Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Wei's wife, but she was not at all relaxed.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Zhu family's flower feast. Mrs. Wei and Xia Jingui came together. Before getting out of the carriage, Mrs. Wei raised the curtain and looked out, and exclaimed: "The guests invited by the Zhu family today, I'm afraid it's a lot!"
In this capital, every inch of land is expensive, and the Zhu family's house does not occupy a large area, but at this moment, it can be seen that from the entrance of the alley to the gate of Zhu's house, there are all carriages parked, and it is very lively to greet and send them off.
"The Zhu family wants to take advantage of today to make a good reputation." Xia Jingui guessed in his heart that the housekeeper of the Zhu family had already come to the car to salute Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei: "Grandma Xia, Grandma Xia, today Our master also borrowed a house next door to entertain guests, and the female guests will go to that house, and I have to ask two to take care of it. There are too many people at the moment, so please get out of the car with the younger one and walk there. Fortunately, there are only a few walk."
Although the Zhu family has been away from Beijing for a long time, the etiquette of these servants is still so considerate. Xia Jingui smiled and asked Xiao Sheer to help him down. When getting off the car, the housekeeper of the Zhu family helped Xia Jingui. Xiao Sheer said: "Reward!"
Xiao She'er hurriedly took out the reward envelope, and the housekeeper lady of the Zhu family accepted the reward and became more affectionate to Xia Jingui. After Mrs. Wei got out of the car, the group went to the reception area. People stopped him, and the male guest came in from the other side, and a mat shed was set up in the middle, which happened to be invisible to both sides.This Zhu family does things differently from those nouveau riche families.
Xia Jingui walked and watched all the way, and the joy in his heart was about to overflow. The Zhu family's flower viewing banquet was in full bloom today, and Xia's osmanthus flowers came back to the sight of the people in the capital.What could be more satisfying in life than earning a lot of money?The smile on Xia Jingui's face became more peaceful and calm, and he and Mrs. Wei entered the reception area. There were already many osmanthus trees on both sides, and those large and small osmanthus trees were dotted with flower buds that looked like broken gold.
Mrs. Wei and Xia Jingui went to say hello to Mrs. Zhu first, and then followed the crowd to watch the sweet-scented osmanthus. As for the largest sweet-scented osmanthus tree, it was planted in the garden of Zhu's family. I'll see it after the banquet is finished today. It's a good time to invite the women's relatives to watch the play.
"Look, this sweet-scented osmanthus tree is so small, but it is full of flowers. Who did the Zhu family buy this sweet-scented osmanthus tree from? It's so good." Some guests who had arrived earlier praised while admiring it.
When Xia Jingui heard this, she felt as happy as drinking honey. What could be happier than being praised for her goods?
"If you want to find out, you might as well find this family and buy a few." Xia Jingui was even happier when she heard more than one person say this. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Mrs. Zhu walking over. Xia Jingui hurriedly talked to Mrs. Zhu Greetings, Mrs. Zhu also greeted with a smile, and a guest asked: "Mrs. Zhu, where did you buy your sweet-scented osmanthus? It looks quite different from the flowers that are available in the market. "
Everyone likes to hear good things, and Mrs. Zhu is no exception. She looked at Xia Jingui with a smile: "Here, it's far away from the sky and right in front of you. You've all heard the name of the Osmanthus Xia family, and the osmanthus saplings in the humble house are He He bought it."
As soon as the words Osmanthus Xia's family came out, there was a slight change in the expression of everyone present, and one person said in doubt: "Mrs. Doing business with the mood has already failed for three or four years.”
"That's right, not only that, I also heard that Aunt Xia is a shrew, really, hey, do you know? The Ningrong Second Mansion whose house was confiscated two days ago, the nephew of Mrs. Wang in Rongguo Mansion, is this Aunt Xia's uncle, the couple had a bad relationship, and then this uncle beat him to death and sent him to prison."
Xia Jingui was planning to follow Mrs. Zhu's words to promote her family's sweet-scented osmanthus, when she heard the news that Ning Rong's Second Mansion was ransacked, and because she had too many things to do, she forgot to calculate when, Ning Rong's Second Mansion should also be ransacked.Xia Jingui took a deep breath, suppressed the melancholy that came up, and smiled on his face: "Everyone only knows one thing, but the other is that my mother was old, but now my mother has adopted a son, so we discussed, or To get this business going."
Everyone is a smart person, so those who gossip also stop gossiping and look at Xia Jingui. Xia Jingui takes a deep breath and smiles at everyone: "My surname is Xia, and the grandma Xia that you mentioned just now is me. Originally, the matter of marriage, I have to tie a red string, it was cultivated in my previous life, who knows that I didn’t cultivate in my previous life, my marriage was not harmonious, and my mother loves me so much, so I took me home, my mother loves me so much, fortunately, I get along well with my brothers and sisters-in-law, so... ..."
Xia Jingui originally wanted to pretend to be touched on purpose to make her eyelashes full of tears, but when she thought of all kinds of things, the tears really came down. Xia Jingui wiped the tears with her hands, and the makeup on her face was a little bit faded.Xia Jingui tried hard to keep the tears from flowing: "The matter of marriage, originally, originally..."
Most of the people had heard the legends from the people in Beijing, and they had never seen the real Xia Jingui. Now Xia Jingui was standing in front of him, a soft and weak beauty, crying sadly there again. Everyone couldn't help but move the weight to Xia Jingui's side. Someone remembered the rumors about Xue Pan, and couldn't help nodding and sighing along with Xia Jingui: "Hey, this trust is not human, and only we women know the crying in it."
"That's right, I once heard that before Mr. Xue came to Beijing, he beat a young master to death for the sake of a maidservant. With the help of his good relatives, everything will be fine." : "I also heard that the imperial court raided the house of Ningrong Second Mansion this time. Mr. Xue also has something to do with it. I heard that he bullies men and women outside and does all kinds of evil."
Everyone nodded again, and looked at Xia Jingui with more sympathy. Mrs. Wei was talking on the other side, but when she saw that everyone was coming this way, she also came over. Sighing, with a sad face: "My mother-in-law originally thought she was an old relative, so she didn't find out clearly, so she married my sister. Who knew that after the marriage, the house was collapsed, and it turned out to be a family with no distinction between wives and concubines. Where is my sister? I am embarrassed to say that I am wronged!"
Speaking of Mrs. Wei's tears falling more urgently: "Even if you say it, people will only say that it's all bad for being a woman. My mother-in-law really loves my sister, so she gritted her teeth and took her back. Otherwise, it would be in vain. Is it possible to guard the death row for a lifetime?" Xia Jingui was sweating listening there, and this lady Wei spoke more vernacular than herself.
Speaking of Mrs. Wei wiping her tears with a handkerchief, those words really aroused the sympathy of many people present, and the fact that the Xia family was defeated, everyone had imagined that Xue Pan spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, Xia Jingui When it came to the lonely and pitiful thing, some people even thought that Xue Pan was charged with beheading. I am afraid that Xia Jingui was beaten several times when he was in this house.
Such a delicate beauty is really going to do it.Some people couldn't help but say it, and Xia Jingui couldn't help but drip a drop of cold sweat on his forehead at the moment, but if he wanted to deny it, it would be bad for Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei also knew that everyone couldn't let everyone think about it anymore, she raised her head and said to Mrs. Zhu: "I'm really sorry, we didn't want to say it at first, and my sister never said a word. It's all my fault, my fault." Standing up, he went down to Mrs. Zhu, and Mrs. Zhu hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Wei: "It's not your fault, as a woman, you are naturally very good when you are in your mother's house. When you leave the pavilion, you will just let the wind blow. The place is what kind of fate."
☆, post
Everyone also comforted in unison, and Mrs. Wei said a few more words for the Xue family, but Xia Jingui had just married at that time and was young and ignorant. When she saw such a thing, her voice was a little louder, and in the end she was rumored to be jealous. reputation.
At this moment, everyone believed that Xia Jingui was better than the rumors in the market. After talking for a while, Mrs. Zhu asked Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei to go down to wash and change their clothes before returning to sit at the table.Xia Jingui and Wei Niangzi followed the Zhu family to the room, and when they were waiting for hot water to be served, Xia Jingui said, "Sister, what you just said..."
"Sister, of course I know that what I said just now is a bit untrue to the Xue family, but sister, let me tell you something, when my mother-in-law went to break up with the Xue family, the two families had already broken up. It’s true that the one from the Xue family is a death row prisoner.”
Mrs. Wei's words made Xia Jingui forcefully smile. A maid from the Zhu family had already entered with a water basin. Mrs. Wei squeezed Xia Jingui's hand. It is understandable for Mrs. Wei to say that the Xue family is not good at all for the sake of the reputation of the Xia family.
Xia Jingui groaned and put his hands into the water basin, the water surface swayed slightly, Xia Jingui looked down at himself on the water surface, and smiled slightly, the past is all over.
The ransacking of Ningrong and Rongfu's houses was a major event, and there were many people talking about it in the capital. What Wei Niangzi said at the Zhu family's flower feast quickly spread throughout the capital.Because Xue Pan is a death row prisoner, he will be executed in autumn, this time, more people believe in Xia Jingui.Although Sun Sanye was studying in Zhuangzi, Wang Xiaoer's injury had healed long ago, and he kept staring at Zhu's family, wishing that Zhu's family would be unlucky earlier, so he also inquired about Zhu's family's flower feast, and he also asked about it. Angrily came back and said to Mr. Sun: "Mr. Xia, that aunt of the Xia family, even said that she was very pitiful. Pooh, she sat on the ground and cried when she was outside that day. I have never seen it before." Which wife and grandma are like this."
Third Master Sun blinked, and before he could speak, he heard Uncle Sun's voice outside the study: "Xiao Er, you are talking nonsense again, how many other wives and grandmas have you met?"
Wang Xiaoer rushed out to greet her, and said with some grievances: "Master, you have wronged me for saying that. Back then, when Grandma was still alive, how could it be that the little ones didn't see it? Besides, those sisters of Grandma, who are you?" Auntie looks like this?"
Third Master Sun also came out of the study, smiled at Uncle Sun and said, "Brother, Xiao Er heard some things about the Zhu family from outsiders, so he was not angry and came to tell me again. In fact, this aunt of the Xia family, As a brother, I don't understand what it looks like."
Uncle Sun said oh, walked into the study and sat down, and then said to Wang Xiaoer: "You have been with your third master for so many years, have you never heard the phrase why a man has no wife? ?”
Wang Xiaoer poured the tea and knelt down to Uncle Sun with a smile: "The teachings of the uncle, the younger ones remember, but the younger ones still remember..."
"Look, look, it's been three days without a fight, and the roof tiles have been removed. Get up, I'm here to discuss with your third master, and the flower viewing banquet will be held here." Uncle Sun's words came to an end. , Wang Xiaoer clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, sir, let me tell you, we need to invite a few more beautiful ladies. In this case, let our master choose one..."
Third Master Sun's face turned red immediately, and he scolded Wang Xiaoer: "You know how to talk nonsense with your mouth, go down." Wang Xiaoer stuck out his tongue, rubbed against the door and walked out.
Third Master Sun sat next to Uncle Sun, and then said to Uncle Sun: "Brother, you know that although Xiao Er is a servant, but..."
"Okay, okay, don't intercede, don't I know what kind of person Xiao Er is?" Uncle Sun glanced at his younger brother before speaking slowly, and Third Master Sun smiled a little shyly.Only then did Uncle Sun groan: "However, what he said just now has some truth. I should find you a suitable wife. The flower viewing banquet will be held here, and I will invite my elder sister back to organize it."
Third Master Sun's face turned even redder. To cover up his embarrassment, he smiled and said, "The Zhu family's flower viewing party invited the two of Xia's family, so for our family's flower viewing party, do you want to..."
Uncle Sun's eyebrows immediately formed a pimple. Uncle Sun also heard the rumors during this period. Uncle Sun is now even more dissatisfied with Xia Jingui. , She didn't remember at all that her husband was the head of the husband. After leaving Xue's house, she spread rumors outside. This kind of woman simply shouldn't be in this world.
But Uncle Sun also knew that these words could only be slandered in his stomach, and he could not say them out loud, otherwise it would be a false comment on other family's boudoir reputation.So Uncle Sun just stared at Third Master Sun: "I told you to let the elder sister handle this matter, so what are you worrying about?" Third Master Sun answered in a low voice, picked up the book on the side and pretended to be very hardworking .
Uncle Sun smiled and left the study, leaving his younger brother to study in the study.
"Is this a post from the Sun family?" Xia Jingui asked Madam Wei in surprise when she saw the post in Mrs. Wei's hand, and Madam Wei frowned slightly: "It's just that this post is not easy to handle, so the Sun family is also Our big customer, his family has posted an invitation, so we should go there happily, but our family and the Zhu family are obviously closer. There is a rift between the Zhu and Sun families. This is a well-known thing. This is one, and the second is that I have inquired about the Sun family's flower viewing feast, and invited several wives to bring their daughters there. The Sun family is probably going to choose a wife for Third Master Sun. Look, it's another relationship with the Zhu family. If you don't go, you will inevitably offend the Sun family again, and I'm worrying right now."
Sure enough, he was a petty man. He must have felt that he had discredited him and cheated him of a sum of money that day, so he did this on purpose. If he really didn't go then, he didn't know what this petty man would say behind his back. Bad words.I really would rather offend a villain than a gentleman.Xia Jingui frowned while holding the post.
Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment before saying: "Actually, it's better for my sister to go in person. When I come, my sister..."
"Don't try to persuade me. I naturally know what the overall situation is. Of course I will go." Xia Jingui came back to his senses, put the post on the table, and smiled at Mrs. Wei.
Lady Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and Xia Jingui stretched out her hand to pat her face: "What do you have to say to me, let's just say that you and I still need to support each other, so why bother to be that kind of petty brat?" Like, dare not say anything?" Wei Niangzi smiled: "Yes, I would like to follow my sister's teaching."
Xia Jingui smiled again, Mrs. Wei suddenly remembered something, and said to Xia Jingui: "Speaking of which, I met someone that day, and she also said that the concubine of the Xue family gave birth to a son just after Qixi Festival. My son is thinking of sending money to the Ministry of Punishment, hoping that the man will be executed a few days later, and after a hundred days, the child can go to see his father."
Xiangling gave birth to a son?This news didn't arouse any reaction from Xia Jingui. After all, she couldn't be saved, she couldn't be helped, and the only one who could be saved was herself.Xia Jingui's silence startled Madam Wei, she hurriedly comforted Xia Jingui: "If my sister doesn't want to listen, I won't say anything."
"Those past events are like previous lives, sister, how can I care about the rights and grievances of those previous lives?"
Xia Jingui's words made Mrs. Wei laugh: "Yes, what my sister said is good. Those things are the past. From now on, my sister will always be the aunt of the Xia family." Xia Jingui also laughed, and it was time to meet that petty man. It is really the top model of straight male cancer in ancient times.
"Oh, the Xue family's concubine gave birth to a son?" Uncle Sun had a smile on his lips, and Steward Liu asked Uncle Sun strangely: "Why would you ask about the Xue family? Aunt Xia, even though she was married to Xue However, the Xue family has already divorced her. Although the Xue family said that the concubine was righted, they were just coaxing their own family there. I heard that the second master Xue and the second grandma Xue are not bad. The two of them followed Mrs. Xue and lived in an old house of the Xue family. The place was small and there were few servants. The young one heard that there were only two or three servants left in their house at the moment, and the maids even Except for the three close-fitting ones, there is nothing else. It is also a loss..."
Butler Liu's chatter was interrupted by Uncle Sun: "Okay, what are you doing with such a pile? Who cares about the life of Second Master Xue, Second Grandma Xue, and Mrs. Xue?"
Butler Liu responded again and again: "Yes, yes, I was confused. What the uncle asked was about Aunt Xia's previous stay at Xue's house. Sir, it's not easy to hide this from others. It's true that Aunt Xia is here at Xue's house. 12 is very fierce, the young one even found a housekeeper in the Rongguo Mansion, and heard from him that Uncle Xue wanted to go out to do business because Grandma Xue was making noise at home day and night, but he accidentally broke the door before he went out. He took someone else's head. Hey, sir, whoever wants to marry such a troublemaker really..."
Uncle Sun looked at Steward Liu with some annoyance: "Who said you're going to marry her? How can such a woman be worthy of being the wife of my Sun family?"
Butler Liu was even more strange now, but he still asked: "Since you don't want to marry her, sir, why did you ask me to inquire about it? Anyway, it's just a business relationship, and nothing else."
"You know, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every battle! This woman has made me suffer a lot from the boss, and I will definitely get back." Uncle Sun didn't even know how fierce his tone was at the moment.
