Xia Jingui of the Red Chamber
Chapter 44
Third Master Sun looked out curiously: "Brother, what do you think of Miss Tang just now? I think she is also worthy of being my sister-in-law."
"Children, don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue. If you say something like this, if people hear you, they will definitely blame you." Uncle Sun's words made Third Master Sun giggle, and then said: "Hey, that is Aunt Xia, I didn't see her in the car that day, but I saw her today, she is also a beauty, why..."
"Wearing red and green, it's all gaudy. Where's the beauty?" Uncle Sun made the judgment coldly, completely ignoring the female relatives who came to the banquet today, almost all of them were wearing red dresses, and the makeup on their faces was even more so. Very delicate, this scolding even scolded my sister.Third Master Sun blinked and didn't know where his brother's unknown fire came from, then he looked out and said: "The guests are almost here, brother, we should go, otherwise sister will know that we have been here all the time. It’s time to scold us for not knowing etiquette.”
Uncle Sun hummed, but did not stand up. Third Master Sun had already got up and walked to the door. The door of this small building does not lead into the garden, but directly on the wall of the garden. The doors and windows are very hidden. This small building is specially prepared for the future when the children grow up and want to see people.
Mr. Sun had already walked out of the door. After walking a few steps, he didn't see his brother coming out. He turned back in surprise. Before he reached the door, he saw Uncle Sun walking out of the door and closing it carefully. The green vines hung down, and Uncle Sun pulled the green vines over to cover the door, so that others would not know that there was a door behind the vines and a small building inside the door.
After finishing these tasks, Uncle Sun raised his head and saw Third Master Sun looking at him. Uncle Sun stretched out his hand and patted Third Master Sun on the forehead: "Look at what I'm doing, why don't you go back quickly, or the people sent by my sister will tell us when we go back. We don't know the etiquette anymore." Third Master Sun hummed, walked behind his brother, rounded the corner, which is the hall on the manor, the purpose of today's flower viewing feast is for Aunt Sun to choose a suitable door for the two younger brothers Because of his marriage, he didn't invite any male guests.
Steward Liu saw their brothers coming, so he hurried out to greet them: "Master, Master, my aunt just sent a maid to say that if both master and master like it, then wait until the performances on the stage are sung twice or three times, and my aunt will Please, uncle and third master, go to see Mrs. Tang and..."
"Got it!" Uncle Sun didn't know where his unknown fire came from?Pulling the neckline with your hands, the tailoring skills are getting worse. Why does the neck hurt like this?Third Master Sun saw his brother pulling his collar, so he stepped forward to tidy it up for him, and said with a smile: "Brother, something seems wrong these two days. He always gets angry. Is it because he is afraid that his future sister-in-law will look down on brother?"
Uncle Sun glared at Third Master Sun, and he was not afraid to stick out his tongue. Uncle Sun had already said to Steward Liu, "Did you say what I asked you to say to my sister?"
Butler Liu glanced at Uncle Sun with some embarrassment, and then looked a little bitter: "According to what I say, the younger ones have to listen, but Uncle, Grandma Xia is also a guest invited by our family, if you can't bear it in her face , that is also our family's rudeness, sir, you just..."
"Idiot, idiot!" Uncle Sun threw off his sleeve and said to Steward Liu, "I just asked my sister to help me with a question. Jia's family was raided and Xue's family was implicated. Husband is still here, so he is wearing red and green clothes like this." Come out, it's really..."
Why does it sound like my elder brother is specifically against Aunt Xia?Third Master Sun frowned, and then said to Uncle Sun with a smile: "Brother, how did Aunt Xia offend Brother? You are so dissatisfied with her, could it be..."
"Shut up!" Uncle Sun stopped his younger brother, his expression changed, and then Uncle Sun said: "Today's banquet will take a day anyway. When my sister comes out, I will tell my sister that it is the same!"
Hey, my uncle, why on earth?Butler Liu also looked at Mr. Sun with doubts in his heart. Mr. Sun spread his hands, expressing that he didn't know why Mr. Sun was doing this.
The flower viewing banquets in every family are similar, first to enjoy the flowers, and then socialize with each other, and when the theater troupe comes up to invite some plays, each of them politely orders a few plays, and then they pretend to be on the stage and listen to the audience.Although the theatrical troupe hired by the Sun family is good and the singing is good, all these ladies and ladies have heard good plays, let alone Xia Jingui, who has seen all kinds of contemporary entertainment facilities?After listening for a while, Xia Jingui felt a little sleepy, and quietly covered her mouth with her hands and yawned. Aunt Sun had already seen it, and smiled at Xia Jingui: "Grandma Xia thinks she is still young, and she doesn't like to listen to our favorite dramas. I see that the young ladies are getting a little annoyed, why don't you ask Aunt Xia to help and take these young ladies out to the garden, you young people have something to say when you are together."
Aunt Sun looked older than 30 years old this year, a few years younger than Xia Yuee's age before the car accident, but her tone seemed to be old.Xia Jingui took a closer look, and couldn't help but sighed inwardly. In ancient times, the age of women was really harsh. After each of them passed [-], they began to dress up like their old age. They were still at the age of showing off.
Of course, Xia Jingui wouldn't say these words. He only said a few words to Aunt Sun, then stood up and walked out with the other ladies.
The sun is shining outside, and sweet-scented osmanthus is in season. The whole garden can only smell the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and there is a piece of chrysanthemum beside the rockery, and the chrysanthemum is budding now.A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl had already clapped her hands and laughed: "Sure enough, people from the south of the Yangtze River know how to manage gardens. Although this garden is not as big as my Zhuangzi's, there are sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemums. There may be a plum tree next to the chrysanthemums. I'm afraid there are still flowers in this garden." Peach, apricot and other flowers really bloom in four seasons."
"Look next to the rockery, isn't there a small pool?" Another girl pointed at the rockery and smiled. After hearing this, everyone walked to the rockery. What's so interesting about a small pond?Although Xia Jingui was slandering in her heart, she still followed the girls.Although the pond is not big, the lotus has already bloomed, but the lotus leaves are still in the water, and there are koi swimming around under the lotus leaves.
"Sure enough, the idea is ingenious. Look around the rockery, there are all kinds of flowers in spring, summer, autumn and winter." Some people have already admired, and everyone nodded in agreement, and a girl pointed to the rockery with a smile: "Look, there are pavilions on the rockery. I’m afraid it’s only used for viewing flowers alone, let’s go up and have a look.”
As she said this, the girl lifted her skirt and wanted to go up the rockery. Just after taking two steps, a woman walked into the garden. Let's avoid it for a while, our uncle and the third master are going to come in to see Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Su!"
The girls burst out laughing, and looked narrowly at Miss Tang and Miss Su. Miss Tang was older, and her face was slightly red, but she still looked calm, while Miss Su's face was so red that she couldn't see it. .A girl had already smiled and said, "Can't we take a look at my cousin-in-law?"
Now the girls laughed even more happily, but because they were in front of outsiders, everyone still had to keep some restraint.The old woman had already smiled and said: "Please follow me, there is also a small courtyard here, which used to be the place where our master used to enjoy the shade." The girls stopped joking and followed behind the old woman, bypassing On the rockery, the mother-in-law pushed open a door next to the rockery, and there was indeed a cave inside. It was a small courtyard with a plantain planted in the courtyard, three houses above it, and maids making tea on the corridor.
"This place is really quiet." A girl had already clapped her hands in praise, then looked up and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that half of the rockery is used as the courtyard wall, no wonder you can't see anything outside.
While talking, the tea was ready, and the mother-in-law invited the girls to sit in the house and drink tea. Some of them didn't want to stay in the house, so they turned to the back of the yard. One side is this door. If no one leads it, it is really hard to find it.
"Fortunately, the Sun family is also a frequent visitor. If you don't know such a place, outsiders can't find it, and bad people come in, this is called..." A girl said with a smile. His face turned red before he finished speaking, such words shouldn't be said in such a quiet courtyard.
Xia Jingui didn't have any emotions at all, socializing with these young girls was really not what he was good at.Xia Jingui felt a little headache, so it would be better to refuse to come, and stay at home alone, no, even if it is in the nursery, it would be good to pick a few sweet-scented osmanthus saplings.
Xia Jingui was lost in thought there. Uncle Sun and Third Master Sun had already entered the flower hall to meet the two wives.The two wives were very satisfied to see that Uncle Sun and Third Master Sun were stable and refined.Especially Mrs. Tang, really wished to marry her two daughters to the Sun family. The sisters became sisters-in-law.
But Mrs. Tang also knew that this kind of thing can only be thought about in her heart, and she and Mrs. Zhu praised each other a few words about the Sun family brothers, and the two left the flower hall.Aunt Sun was about to talk to the two wives of Tang Zhu when she saw a maid walk in and winked at Aunt Sun, who understood and walked out of the flower hall.
As soon as Aunt Sun walked out of the flower hall, she saw Uncle Sun standing on the other side of the rockery and waving to her. Aunt Sun was even more puzzled, and followed Uncle Sun out of the garden gate, and walked along the courtyard wall to the small hidden courtyard.As soon as Uncle Sun sat down, he couldn't wait to say to Aunt Sun: "Sister, let me tell you..."
When Xia Jingui was bored, suddenly there seemed to be voices coming from his ears. Xia Jingui followed the sound, and saw that the voice seemed to be coming from outside the courtyard wall, but it was very close. When he listened carefully, it seemed that someone was talking about the Xia family.Xia Jingui was even more puzzled. Seeing that the girls were still talking, she said something to the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law asked a maid to follow Xia Jingui.
☆, appease
After leaving the small courtyard, the sound disappeared. It seemed that the place where the sound came from was the courtyard wall. Xia Jingui frowned slightly and walked towards the rockery.He arrived at the rockery, but still couldn't hear the voice, so it seemed that he was going in the wrong direction, so Xia Jingui turned and went to the other side.Seeing Xia Jingui turning back, the servant girl said a little strangely, "Grandma Xia, if you want to change, you have to go to the other side."
As soon as Xia Jingui took two steps, he heard voices vaguely, and if he listened carefully, it didn't come from the small courtyard just now.Xia Jingui knew that he was on the right track this time, so Xia Jingui ignored the maid and walked slowly along the wall. The ups and downs of the business sounded familiar.
Xia Jingui's brows frowned even tighter. The guests who came today were all strangers, so they are the owners of this house?And there is only one owner of this house that I know well, Uncle Sun!But what did Uncle Sun talk about the Xia family with others?Xia Jingui's footsteps stopped in front of a window, and there was a bulge here. At first, Xia Jingui thought it was just a false window, but now it turned out that it was not the case.
And the speaking voice was clearer. Xia Jingui looked carefully at the window and gestured with his hands. This window and the small courtyard were exactly on the same plane, so it was no wonder that there was a voice coming from it.There is also this courtyard wall, here, it is covered by green vines, it is a good place to hide.
Without even thinking about it, Xia Jingui stretched out her hand to push the window. The servant girl was startled when she saw Xia Jingui push the window, and stepped forward to Xia Jingui, "Grandma Xia, this..."
Uncle Sun in the room felt very frustrated. No matter how he told Aunt Sun, Aunt Sun only said, how can a man be so small?Uncle Sun felt even more helpless, and said to Aunt Sun: "But this woman, let alone being jealous, still..."
"Hey, what you said is a bit strange, and you don't plan to marry her, so what do you care about others?" Aunt Sun was just teasing her younger brother, but Uncle Sun became even more irritable: "Sister, such a woman should be ruined, and then she will be ruined." ..."
"You bastard, your parents also taught you to read and write since you were a child. I thought you were also a person who loved brothers, but who would have taught you to be such a person? Slandering other girls' reputations, and saying that you are doing good deeds. Are you like this?" Xia Jingui could hear the conversation between Aunt Sun and Uncle Sun clearly, she pushed the window but didn't open it, so she pushed it instead of pulling it, the window was originally hidden, and she pulled it The window opened.
Uncle Sun was about to defend himself when he saw the window opened and Xia Jingui was standing in front of it.Aunt Sun didn't expect that it would be Xia Jingui who opened the window. Seeing Xia Jingui followed by a maid from her own family, Aunt Sun glared at the maid a few times.This servant girl also knew that she had caused trouble, so she lowered her head and lowered her hands, not daring to speak.
Uncle Sun's face turned red and pale, and he pointed at Xia Jingui, wanting to ask her why she was here, but felt that he was asking for nothing, after all, she was a guest from his home.Aunt Sun bit her lip and said to Xia Jingui, "Grandma Xia, this matter..."
When Xia Jingui saw Uncle Sun, he originally wanted to say a few words of contempt, but when he heard Aunt Sun's words, Xia Jingui's eyes turned red. To this kind of straight male cancer, saying anything is useless, let alone replying a few words with a sharp tongue. I feel more guilty.Xia Jingui's eyes turned red, Aunt Sun knew something was wrong, and wanted to go out to appease Xia Jingui, but in a hurry, she forgot that the door was on the other side of the courtyard wall, and slammed into the wall.
Uncle Sun hurriedly reached out to help Aunt Sun, who was furious at the moment, and pushed her brother: "You are still in a daze, why don't you hurry up..." Aunt Sun originally wanted to ask Uncle Sun to compensate Xia Jingui Unexpectedly, Xia Jingui turned around and walked out of the garden without saying a word.
Seeing that the maid was still standing there in a daze, Aunt Sun stomped her feet anxiously: "You hurry up and follow." This sentence reminded the maid, who hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased after Xia Jingui.Aunt Sun also came out of the door.Because Xia Jingui was going out of the garden, when Aunt Sun came out from the door, she happened to see Xia Jingui walking in front of her.
Aunt Sun hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xia Jingui, with an apologetic smile on her face: "Grandma Xia, it's my brother's fault today, and he hasn't had a drink, so why is he talking nonsense. We all know what kind of person you are, come on!" do not Cry."
Xia Jingui thought it was funny, and sighed, but she just covered her face with a veil, and she wasn't crying. Hearing what Aunt Sun said, she couldn't take off the veil, and just lowered her head and shook her head slightly.
Aunt Sun became even more anxious. At this moment, Uncle Sun also came out of the door. Aunt Sun dragged her brother over and said to Xia Jingui: "My brother is here, you can beat him or scold him if you want, it's up to you Aunt Sun is quite reasonable, but Xia Jingui was thinking about another thing, Xia Jingui also knew that her actions had offended Uncle Sun, so Uncle Sun asked Grandma Sun to say something that exposed Xia Jingui's true colors.
Now that I hear it, I can take advantage of it, thinking that Xia Jingui slightly removed the veil, raised his eyes to look at Aunt Sun: "Don't blame Grand Aunt Sun. I don't dare to be angry, I don't I know that this world treats women like this. No matter how good you are, you will not be able to marry a husband, even if you are beaten and scolded, you will be willing to bear it. But I am a little bit dissatisfied. I was also raised by my parents. Why did you marry me? Husband will let him beat and scold me? My mother loves me so badly that she begged someone to come forward, so she asked for a divorce letter. I also know that when a woman is divorced and returns home, she should live at home with peace of mind, eat fast and pray to Buddha , bless you in your next life to give birth to a male fetus, so that you don’t have to suffer like this again.”
Xia Jingui is a beautiful and weak woman. When she said such words sadly, Aunt Sun's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She just wanted to comfort Xia Jingui again, but Xia Jingui said weakly: "It's just my brother, Uncle Sun I know, I can’t become a talent, my sister-in-law is also a girl, so I thought, help if I can, do I want my mother to live that kind of wandering life when she is old? Added another crime."
Uncle Sun saw that Xia Jingui started to cry and complain again, he couldn't help snorting, and said to Aunt Sun: "Sister, don't believe her, she is full of lies, and none of them are true!"
"Are you so confused that you have the nerve to say such a thing?" Aunt Sun reached out and tapped Uncle Sun on the forehead, and said softly to Xia Jingui: "I know your difficulties, my brother is not sensible , I will say him. Aunt Xia, stop crying, Chunmei!"
The servant girl took a step forward, and Aunt Sun had already ordered: "You go and tell your sister-in-law Liu, let her go to the banquet, tell Mrs. Tang and the others, please continue to listen to the play, just say what I said, I ran into Aunt Xia , I want to have a private conversation with Aunt Xia, and ask them to forgive me."
Chunmei should be, turned around and ran into the garden.Aunt Sun took Xia Jingui's hand and comforted her: "Don't go back to the table, I'll have someone prepare hot water, and I'll serve you personally, and then we can talk for a while, okay?" It's different, Xia Jingui thought to herself, raised her head slightly, and nodded to Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun has already told Uncle Sun: "You have someone prepare washing water and bring it to the front, we have to talk for a while." Uncle Sun pointed to his nose and looked at Aunt Sun in disbelief. My aunt gave Uncle Sun a look, and Uncle Sun reluctantly left.
After Uncle Sun left, Aunt Sun took Xia Jingui's hand and went forward: "I can't tell Grandma Xia, my two younger brothers seem to be better than the other, but deep down, they are very naughty, hey, If my second brother is still here, I can worry less about it."
Xia Jingui also vaguely heard about the matter of the Sun family. The second son of the Sun family was known as a child prodigy since he was a child. Master Sun regarded the second son as his great hope. Huanxi, who knows that God is not blessed, when Second Master Sun was seventeen years old, he suddenly caught wind and cold, and he died within ten days.
Master Sun felt sorry for his son. Although he took people to destroy the hospital, he still couldn't get sick, and he died before the end of the year.At that time, Grandma Sun, the married daughter, came home to help Grandma Sun with the housework. Grandma Sun lost her three-month pregnancy due to exhaustion. conceived a child.
At this moment, Aunt Sun was so angry and angry that she even mentioned her second brother who had passed away for many years.Xia Jingui could also hear the pain in Aunt Sun's words, and said to Aunt Sun: "Actually, I don't blame Uncle Sun. After all, what I did is really..." Xia Jingui sighed: "Actually, I just don't Just be willing to accept your fate. Otherwise, just treat yourself like a clay sculpture and wood sculpture, endure it for a few years, and wait until you have a son and an eldest daughter, and you will be fine."
Xia Jingui's sigh was genuine. After all, after traveling for so long, what Xia Jingui felt most strongly was bondage.Women can't go out alone, can't go to court, can't have property in their own name, can't... a series of things that Xia Jingui can't know, even if he tries his best, it's just a small world that can be earned.And even this small world has to be questioned, because it is not something she can have.
Xia Jingui's sigh was heard by Aunt Sun, but it was an excuse for Uncle Sun.Aunt Sun couldn't help but nodded to Xia Jingui: "Grandma Xia said such things for my brother, it really makes me ashamed to death."
☆, persuasion
Seeing Aunt Sun talking like this, Xia Jingui knew that Aunt Sun had guessed wrong, but she didn't say anything, she just smiled at Aunt Sun, who shook Xia Jingui's hand firmly: "Don't worry, what kind of person are you?" I know that in the future, as long as I hear such words, I will definitely scold them."
While talking, the two had already walked into the house, where the washing water had been prepared, Aunt Sun made a gesture to take the washbasin from the maid, Xia Jingui hurriedly stopped her.Seeing Auntie Sun like this, the servant girl hurriedly knelt down with the washbasin in her hand, and Auntie Sun came over to help Xia Jingui roll up her sleeves. Xia Jingui knew that it would be no good to push back, so she put her hands in the basin and washed her face. The makeup powder came over and applied Xia Jingui with makeup powder.
After Xia Jingui finished dressing up again, the servant girl brought tea again. Aunt Sun asked Xia Jingui to drink tea, and smiled at Xia Jingui, "Grandma Xia is a big loser. Don't worry. I'll ask brother to make an apology to you after two days." Xia Jingui also knew the principle of accepting as soon as she was offered, so she hastily declined, and then said to Aunt Sun, "Aunt Sun told Chunmei to go back just now, and she asked Mrs. Tang and the others to wait a little longer. If I'm not wrong, this Are the two families getting married?"
Aunt Sun pursed her lips and smiled: "As expected, Bingxue is smart, and I won't hide it from you. My brother and sister have passed away for a long time, and this family also needs to have a master. There is also my third brother, who is not young anymore. So I I just thought, since we are holding a flower viewing feast, we might as well decide on their marriage."
Xia Jingui hurriedly said congratulations, thinking about the Zhu family's matter, since Mrs. Wei made up for the Zhu's side, then she should also make up for the Sun's side's matter, so Xia Jingui pondered for a moment before smiling and said: " I have also heard about this incident, when the Zhu family..."
Speaking of which, Xia Jingui raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Aunt Sun's face, and saw Aunt Sun's face sighing slightly, Xia Jingui continued: "The matter of marriage is originally related to the previous life, Aunt Sun The one you like this time must be better. One more thing, Aunt Sun, don't think I'm straightforward."
"Why do you dislike it? Speaking of it, although there are so many people here today, most of them are here to socialize. There are not many people who can really talk about what is in their hearts. Grandma Xia can say whatever she wants."
Aunt Sun's words did not surprise Xia Jingui, and of course Xia Jingui was not so stupid as to say it directly, so Xia Jingui just smiled shyly and said, "Actually, I also know that the matter between your mansion and Zhu's family is just our little one. In this business, the door is open for business, and all visitors are customers, regardless of whether there is any disagreement between the guests, the business must be done."
While talking, Xia Jingui glanced at Aunt Sun again, and stopped talking, just rolled up the veil with her hands: "Of course I don't have such a big face, so I want to be a lobbyist between your two families. I just hope that when doing business in the future, your residence will not think that we have business dealings with the Zhu family..."
After talking about Xia Jingui, she acted as if she couldn't continue, and Aunt Sun sighed softly: "I understand what you mean, you are a woman after all, and the reason why my brother wants to give you a bad look is because Because you have done business with the Zhu family. Don't worry, I know my own brother. He is not a small-bellied person. This is one or two. Grandma Xia, don't blame me for talking too much. This woman is originally in this world. Difficult, there are not many people like you who refuse to accept their fate. Those who refuse to admit their fate, face it naturally, are even more..."
Xia Jingui knew that Aunt Sun had completely leaned towards her, so she hurriedly helped Aunt Sun: "It is said that I was able to read and write since I was a child, and I should regard my husband as my god, but I always..." Xia Jingui choked on purpose and used Pazi wiped away the non-existing tears in the corner of his eyes, then turned to Aunt Sun and said: "So Uncle Sun looks down on me like this, and I have nothing to complain about. I just hope that Uncle Sun can show my brother a little face when he goes out."
"It's natural!" Aunt Sun agreed again and again, and comforted Xia Jingui a few more words, Xia Jingui stood up and saluted to Aunt Sun: "I am very grateful that Aunt Sun is willing to listen to me today. It's been too long at this time, it's really my fault if I keep the guests waiting for a long time."
Aunt Sun also stood up and supported Xia Jingui: "Hey, a person like you is both sensible and polite, and that family doesn't know how to treat you so that you are allowed to do this. Let's go. Don't worry, if in the future you If you really have something to say, I will stand up for you." Xia Jingui hastily thanked and thanked again, and the two returned the same way, Xia Jingui also pointed to several outstanding scenic spots in the garden, and asked Aunt Sun about the beauty of these scenic spots. place.
The two had questions and answers, and Xia Jingui's image in Aunt Sun's eyes was even better. If the Xue family hadn't done something very excessive, how could such a sensible girl think that she would die and be broken? The Xue family came out?When the two were about to arrive at the flower hall, Mrs. Liu caught up with Aunt Sun: "Grandma, just now Sun Qian's family came to report that his grandma is gone."
Sun Qianhu?Xia Jingui remembered that Sun Shaozu was a military officer, and the two families both had the surname Sun, and now they came to report the funeral again, could it be said that they belonged to the same family?This needs to be clarified, so Xia Jingui deliberately pretended not to know and asked Aunt Sun: "This Sun Qianhu's family is supposed to be aristocratic? There are both scholars and military officers. Nobles really..."
Aunt Sun has already given orders to Mrs. Liu's housekeeper, and when she heard Xia Jingui's inquiry, she smiled wryly and shook her head: "It's just that they have the same surname by chance, not even from the same township, and only because of some minor ties, they come into contact with each other. ...It's just that their grandma is better, but God bless good people, Jia's mansion was copied, and this grandma is gone."
It really was Sun Shaozu who was married in Yingchun, Xia Jingui sighed in his heart, but he did not speak but only sighed softly. Aunt Sun suddenly remembered that Jia Xue and his family were related, and said to Xia Jingui: "Hey, a woman's life! Born in such a mansion, married So what about a man like this, if he accepts his fate, he will die."
"I've never met the second aunt of the Jia family, but I've heard others mention her, saying that she is very gentle. It's just that Uncle Sun, I don't have much to say." Xia Jingui's words made Aunt Sun sigh even more, and she patted Xia Jingui. Hand: "Therefore, there are advantages to not accepting fate. Let's go in."
The two entered the flower hall, and the girls also returned to the flower hall. Mrs. Tang was talking to someone, when she looked up and saw Aunt Sun and Xia Jingui walking in, Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "You two, what are you talking about privately?" So, leave us here for half a day?"
"That's right. Just now I saw someone coming over from a distance from the window, but who knew that she was standing there talking again by the door. What kind of words are there, we can't hear them?" Mrs. Su also laughed and joked.Aunt Sun was about to get the teapot, when she heard Mrs. Su's words, she put the teapot down: "I originally wanted to punish myself with a cup, but since you asked me, I just said, it's just that I saw the sweet-scented osmanthus of the Xia family like this." That’s good, so I grabbed Aunt Xia and asked a few words, standing in the flower hall to talk, it was just a time ago that a person with contacts came to report that their grandma was gone, because Aunt Xia also recognized that family, the two of us Relatively sighed a few words."
Since they were sighing relative to each other, the lost grandma was still young, and Mrs. Tang couldn't help but also sighed: "Hey, the fate of this person's prosperity and decline cannot be determined."
"Which family's grandma is gone? If there is any contact, I'm afraid she will report to my house right now." Mrs. Su asked about this, and Aunt Sun had already picked up the teacup and put it down hastily: "Mrs. Su After thinking about it, I know that it is Sun Qianhu's eldest grandma, who said she has only been here for less than three years, she has no children, and this year she is just over [-]."
"It turned out to be his family!" There were also people who knew Sun Shaozu's temperament in the audience, and some of them changed their faces. Mrs. Tang subconsciously held her daughter's hand tightly. Wuyi, even if her mother's family came forward to tear the kidnapper away and go home by herself, the reputation is always not good.Just like this Xia Jingui, even though everyone was laughing and talking to her, when she wasn't there just now, several people in the seat laughed at her greatly.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Aunt Sun picked up the teacup with a smile: "Well, I shouldn't have said that again. Come on, come on, I'll punish myself first."
"It's not okay to replace wine with tea. We still have to get wine." Mrs. Tang came back to her senses and laughed jokingly. Mrs. Su had already asked the maid to bring the wine over quickly. Aunt Sun declined a few words with a smile, but she was still poured a glass. Talking and laughing again at the table, the silence just now seemed to have completely disappeared.The death of a famous lady is nothing more than a few sighs.
The banquet at the Sun's family was still lively, and Xia Jingui waited until everyone started to say goodbye before leaving. During the farewell, Aunt Sun said a few words to Xia Jingui that she would definitely say to Uncle Sun.Xia Jingui didn't care whether Aunt Sun trained Uncle Sun or not, and after thanking Aunt Sun, Xia Jingui got in the car and went back to the city.
As soon as he entered the house, the mother-in-law came out to greet her: "Auntie, you are finally back, and the eldest grandma has asked you several times." Xia Jingui untied the cloak on her body, and smiled to the inside: "What's the matter today, brother and sister, grandson?" Home is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair, so can't I go?"
☆, gossip
"Of course the Sun family is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. It's just that when I went to Zhu's house today, I heard Mrs. Zhu say something about Uncle Sun, so I was worried about my sister." Mrs. Wei had already come out to welcome her.
"What did you say?" Xia Jingui handed the cloak to the maid to take it down, and went into Mrs. Xia's room with Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Xia was sitting on the kang, looking for something there. Mrs. Wei said: "Your sister just came back, you also let her have a cup of tea, sit down and rest before talking."
"Mother, I'm not tired." Xia Jingui got on the kang and sat beside Mrs. Xia, but she didn't leave Mrs. Wei, still waiting for Mrs. Wei to finish speaking.Mrs. Wei sat on the chair next to the kang, took the teapot and poured tea, and when Xia Jingui asked, she smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, I just said that Uncle Sun has a bad temper, and he's a bit petty."
Xia Jingui snorted, it seems that what Mrs. Zhu said is right, if this Uncle Sun hadn't broken himself today, and Aunt Sun is a sensible grandma, I'm afraid he would be speechless at the banquet.
"I don't know how true or false what those outsiders said." Mrs. Xia was right, and Mrs. Wei turned to Xia Jingui with a smile: "Sister, I understand this truth, but Mrs. Zhu is not a liar either. talker. That's why I care about you."
Xia Jingui patted Mrs. Wei's hand knowingly: "Thank you very much, hey, I went to Sun's house today, and told you that Aunt Sun is a sensible person, and then I told Aunt Sun, we open the door to do it." For business, any kind of merchant should have a good talk with him. Both Zhu and Sun are our big merchants, so I ask Aunt Sun to tell Uncle Sun not to take it to heart.”
Mrs. Wei is a smart person. She knew that Xia Jingui didn't want Mrs. Xia to worry when she said this, so she changed her mind: "I'm going to Zhu's house today to visit Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu also said that in business, kindness is the most important thing. She won't think that there is something wrong with us just because we have business contacts with the Sun family, and she also said that she will introduce us to a few more big merchants!"
"It's a good relationship!" Mrs. Xia became happy when she heard her daughter-in-law's discussion, and nodded repeatedly.Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei chatted a few more gossips.After coming out of Mrs. Xia's room, Mrs. Wei pulled Xia Jingui into the room, and said to Xia Jingui, "Mrs. Zhu said more than that. She also said, and said..."
While talking, Mrs. Wei's voice gradually lowered: "She also said that Grandma Sun's death, I heard that there was something else wrong with it, it was not as simple as dying of illness. It is for this reason that her family is going to withdraw the marriage for their daughter."
Xia Jingui let out a cry, frowned and thought about it. Although Uncle Sun had a bit of cancer, this was also a normal situation in ancient times. Based on the sadness when Aunt Sun mentioned Grandma Sun, I felt that Uncle Sun and Grandma Sun were also very sad at the time. Dear, why are such words spread?
Mrs. Wei also knew about the quarrel between Zhu and Sun's two families, and there might be a lot of embellishments in it, so Mrs. Wei said again: "Sister, this is just a word, anyway, our two families are not in-laws. When my sister sees this Uncle Sun in the future, she should not mention these things in words, lest this person remember it in her heart, who knows how she will retaliate in the future."

"Children, don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue. If you say something like this, if people hear you, they will definitely blame you." Uncle Sun's words made Third Master Sun giggle, and then said: "Hey, that is Aunt Xia, I didn't see her in the car that day, but I saw her today, she is also a beauty, why..."
"Wearing red and green, it's all gaudy. Where's the beauty?" Uncle Sun made the judgment coldly, completely ignoring the female relatives who came to the banquet today, almost all of them were wearing red dresses, and the makeup on their faces was even more so. Very delicate, this scolding even scolded my sister.Third Master Sun blinked and didn't know where his brother's unknown fire came from, then he looked out and said: "The guests are almost here, brother, we should go, otherwise sister will know that we have been here all the time. It’s time to scold us for not knowing etiquette.”
Uncle Sun hummed, but did not stand up. Third Master Sun had already got up and walked to the door. The door of this small building does not lead into the garden, but directly on the wall of the garden. The doors and windows are very hidden. This small building is specially prepared for the future when the children grow up and want to see people.
Mr. Sun had already walked out of the door. After walking a few steps, he didn't see his brother coming out. He turned back in surprise. Before he reached the door, he saw Uncle Sun walking out of the door and closing it carefully. The green vines hung down, and Uncle Sun pulled the green vines over to cover the door, so that others would not know that there was a door behind the vines and a small building inside the door.
After finishing these tasks, Uncle Sun raised his head and saw Third Master Sun looking at him. Uncle Sun stretched out his hand and patted Third Master Sun on the forehead: "Look at what I'm doing, why don't you go back quickly, or the people sent by my sister will tell us when we go back. We don't know the etiquette anymore." Third Master Sun hummed, walked behind his brother, rounded the corner, which is the hall on the manor, the purpose of today's flower viewing feast is for Aunt Sun to choose a suitable door for the two younger brothers Because of his marriage, he didn't invite any male guests.
Steward Liu saw their brothers coming, so he hurried out to greet them: "Master, Master, my aunt just sent a maid to say that if both master and master like it, then wait until the performances on the stage are sung twice or three times, and my aunt will Please, uncle and third master, go to see Mrs. Tang and..."
"Got it!" Uncle Sun didn't know where his unknown fire came from?Pulling the neckline with your hands, the tailoring skills are getting worse. Why does the neck hurt like this?Third Master Sun saw his brother pulling his collar, so he stepped forward to tidy it up for him, and said with a smile: "Brother, something seems wrong these two days. He always gets angry. Is it because he is afraid that his future sister-in-law will look down on brother?"
Uncle Sun glared at Third Master Sun, and he was not afraid to stick out his tongue. Uncle Sun had already said to Steward Liu, "Did you say what I asked you to say to my sister?"
Butler Liu glanced at Uncle Sun with some embarrassment, and then looked a little bitter: "According to what I say, the younger ones have to listen, but Uncle, Grandma Xia is also a guest invited by our family, if you can't bear it in her face , that is also our family's rudeness, sir, you just..."
"Idiot, idiot!" Uncle Sun threw off his sleeve and said to Steward Liu, "I just asked my sister to help me with a question. Jia's family was raided and Xue's family was implicated. Husband is still here, so he is wearing red and green clothes like this." Come out, it's really..."
Why does it sound like my elder brother is specifically against Aunt Xia?Third Master Sun frowned, and then said to Uncle Sun with a smile: "Brother, how did Aunt Xia offend Brother? You are so dissatisfied with her, could it be..."
"Shut up!" Uncle Sun stopped his younger brother, his expression changed, and then Uncle Sun said: "Today's banquet will take a day anyway. When my sister comes out, I will tell my sister that it is the same!"
Hey, my uncle, why on earth?Butler Liu also looked at Mr. Sun with doubts in his heart. Mr. Sun spread his hands, expressing that he didn't know why Mr. Sun was doing this.
The flower viewing banquets in every family are similar, first to enjoy the flowers, and then socialize with each other, and when the theater troupe comes up to invite some plays, each of them politely orders a few plays, and then they pretend to be on the stage and listen to the audience.Although the theatrical troupe hired by the Sun family is good and the singing is good, all these ladies and ladies have heard good plays, let alone Xia Jingui, who has seen all kinds of contemporary entertainment facilities?After listening for a while, Xia Jingui felt a little sleepy, and quietly covered her mouth with her hands and yawned. Aunt Sun had already seen it, and smiled at Xia Jingui: "Grandma Xia thinks she is still young, and she doesn't like to listen to our favorite dramas. I see that the young ladies are getting a little annoyed, why don't you ask Aunt Xia to help and take these young ladies out to the garden, you young people have something to say when you are together."
Aunt Sun looked older than 30 years old this year, a few years younger than Xia Yuee's age before the car accident, but her tone seemed to be old.Xia Jingui took a closer look, and couldn't help but sighed inwardly. In ancient times, the age of women was really harsh. After each of them passed [-], they began to dress up like their old age. They were still at the age of showing off.
Of course, Xia Jingui wouldn't say these words. He only said a few words to Aunt Sun, then stood up and walked out with the other ladies.
The sun is shining outside, and sweet-scented osmanthus is in season. The whole garden can only smell the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and there is a piece of chrysanthemum beside the rockery, and the chrysanthemum is budding now.A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl had already clapped her hands and laughed: "Sure enough, people from the south of the Yangtze River know how to manage gardens. Although this garden is not as big as my Zhuangzi's, there are sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemums. There may be a plum tree next to the chrysanthemums. I'm afraid there are still flowers in this garden." Peach, apricot and other flowers really bloom in four seasons."
"Look next to the rockery, isn't there a small pool?" Another girl pointed at the rockery and smiled. After hearing this, everyone walked to the rockery. What's so interesting about a small pond?Although Xia Jingui was slandering in her heart, she still followed the girls.Although the pond is not big, the lotus has already bloomed, but the lotus leaves are still in the water, and there are koi swimming around under the lotus leaves.
"Sure enough, the idea is ingenious. Look around the rockery, there are all kinds of flowers in spring, summer, autumn and winter." Some people have already admired, and everyone nodded in agreement, and a girl pointed to the rockery with a smile: "Look, there are pavilions on the rockery. I’m afraid it’s only used for viewing flowers alone, let’s go up and have a look.”
As she said this, the girl lifted her skirt and wanted to go up the rockery. Just after taking two steps, a woman walked into the garden. Let's avoid it for a while, our uncle and the third master are going to come in to see Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Su!"
The girls burst out laughing, and looked narrowly at Miss Tang and Miss Su. Miss Tang was older, and her face was slightly red, but she still looked calm, while Miss Su's face was so red that she couldn't see it. .A girl had already smiled and said, "Can't we take a look at my cousin-in-law?"
Now the girls laughed even more happily, but because they were in front of outsiders, everyone still had to keep some restraint.The old woman had already smiled and said: "Please follow me, there is also a small courtyard here, which used to be the place where our master used to enjoy the shade." The girls stopped joking and followed behind the old woman, bypassing On the rockery, the mother-in-law pushed open a door next to the rockery, and there was indeed a cave inside. It was a small courtyard with a plantain planted in the courtyard, three houses above it, and maids making tea on the corridor.
"This place is really quiet." A girl had already clapped her hands in praise, then looked up and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that half of the rockery is used as the courtyard wall, no wonder you can't see anything outside.
While talking, the tea was ready, and the mother-in-law invited the girls to sit in the house and drink tea. Some of them didn't want to stay in the house, so they turned to the back of the yard. One side is this door. If no one leads it, it is really hard to find it.
"Fortunately, the Sun family is also a frequent visitor. If you don't know such a place, outsiders can't find it, and bad people come in, this is called..." A girl said with a smile. His face turned red before he finished speaking, such words shouldn't be said in such a quiet courtyard.
Xia Jingui didn't have any emotions at all, socializing with these young girls was really not what he was good at.Xia Jingui felt a little headache, so it would be better to refuse to come, and stay at home alone, no, even if it is in the nursery, it would be good to pick a few sweet-scented osmanthus saplings.
Xia Jingui was lost in thought there. Uncle Sun and Third Master Sun had already entered the flower hall to meet the two wives.The two wives were very satisfied to see that Uncle Sun and Third Master Sun were stable and refined.Especially Mrs. Tang, really wished to marry her two daughters to the Sun family. The sisters became sisters-in-law.
But Mrs. Tang also knew that this kind of thing can only be thought about in her heart, and she and Mrs. Zhu praised each other a few words about the Sun family brothers, and the two left the flower hall.Aunt Sun was about to talk to the two wives of Tang Zhu when she saw a maid walk in and winked at Aunt Sun, who understood and walked out of the flower hall.
As soon as Aunt Sun walked out of the flower hall, she saw Uncle Sun standing on the other side of the rockery and waving to her. Aunt Sun was even more puzzled, and followed Uncle Sun out of the garden gate, and walked along the courtyard wall to the small hidden courtyard.As soon as Uncle Sun sat down, he couldn't wait to say to Aunt Sun: "Sister, let me tell you..."
When Xia Jingui was bored, suddenly there seemed to be voices coming from his ears. Xia Jingui followed the sound, and saw that the voice seemed to be coming from outside the courtyard wall, but it was very close. When he listened carefully, it seemed that someone was talking about the Xia family.Xia Jingui was even more puzzled. Seeing that the girls were still talking, she said something to the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law asked a maid to follow Xia Jingui.
☆, appease
After leaving the small courtyard, the sound disappeared. It seemed that the place where the sound came from was the courtyard wall. Xia Jingui frowned slightly and walked towards the rockery.He arrived at the rockery, but still couldn't hear the voice, so it seemed that he was going in the wrong direction, so Xia Jingui turned and went to the other side.Seeing Xia Jingui turning back, the servant girl said a little strangely, "Grandma Xia, if you want to change, you have to go to the other side."
As soon as Xia Jingui took two steps, he heard voices vaguely, and if he listened carefully, it didn't come from the small courtyard just now.Xia Jingui knew that he was on the right track this time, so Xia Jingui ignored the maid and walked slowly along the wall. The ups and downs of the business sounded familiar.
Xia Jingui's brows frowned even tighter. The guests who came today were all strangers, so they are the owners of this house?And there is only one owner of this house that I know well, Uncle Sun!But what did Uncle Sun talk about the Xia family with others?Xia Jingui's footsteps stopped in front of a window, and there was a bulge here. At first, Xia Jingui thought it was just a false window, but now it turned out that it was not the case.
And the speaking voice was clearer. Xia Jingui looked carefully at the window and gestured with his hands. This window and the small courtyard were exactly on the same plane, so it was no wonder that there was a voice coming from it.There is also this courtyard wall, here, it is covered by green vines, it is a good place to hide.
Without even thinking about it, Xia Jingui stretched out her hand to push the window. The servant girl was startled when she saw Xia Jingui push the window, and stepped forward to Xia Jingui, "Grandma Xia, this..."
Uncle Sun in the room felt very frustrated. No matter how he told Aunt Sun, Aunt Sun only said, how can a man be so small?Uncle Sun felt even more helpless, and said to Aunt Sun: "But this woman, let alone being jealous, still..."
"Hey, what you said is a bit strange, and you don't plan to marry her, so what do you care about others?" Aunt Sun was just teasing her younger brother, but Uncle Sun became even more irritable: "Sister, such a woman should be ruined, and then she will be ruined." ..."
"You bastard, your parents also taught you to read and write since you were a child. I thought you were also a person who loved brothers, but who would have taught you to be such a person? Slandering other girls' reputations, and saying that you are doing good deeds. Are you like this?" Xia Jingui could hear the conversation between Aunt Sun and Uncle Sun clearly, she pushed the window but didn't open it, so she pushed it instead of pulling it, the window was originally hidden, and she pulled it The window opened.
Uncle Sun was about to defend himself when he saw the window opened and Xia Jingui was standing in front of it.Aunt Sun didn't expect that it would be Xia Jingui who opened the window. Seeing Xia Jingui followed by a maid from her own family, Aunt Sun glared at the maid a few times.This servant girl also knew that she had caused trouble, so she lowered her head and lowered her hands, not daring to speak.
Uncle Sun's face turned red and pale, and he pointed at Xia Jingui, wanting to ask her why she was here, but felt that he was asking for nothing, after all, she was a guest from his home.Aunt Sun bit her lip and said to Xia Jingui, "Grandma Xia, this matter..."
When Xia Jingui saw Uncle Sun, he originally wanted to say a few words of contempt, but when he heard Aunt Sun's words, Xia Jingui's eyes turned red. To this kind of straight male cancer, saying anything is useless, let alone replying a few words with a sharp tongue. I feel more guilty.Xia Jingui's eyes turned red, Aunt Sun knew something was wrong, and wanted to go out to appease Xia Jingui, but in a hurry, she forgot that the door was on the other side of the courtyard wall, and slammed into the wall.
Uncle Sun hurriedly reached out to help Aunt Sun, who was furious at the moment, and pushed her brother: "You are still in a daze, why don't you hurry up..." Aunt Sun originally wanted to ask Uncle Sun to compensate Xia Jingui Unexpectedly, Xia Jingui turned around and walked out of the garden without saying a word.
Seeing that the maid was still standing there in a daze, Aunt Sun stomped her feet anxiously: "You hurry up and follow." This sentence reminded the maid, who hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased after Xia Jingui.Aunt Sun also came out of the door.Because Xia Jingui was going out of the garden, when Aunt Sun came out from the door, she happened to see Xia Jingui walking in front of her.
Aunt Sun hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xia Jingui, with an apologetic smile on her face: "Grandma Xia, it's my brother's fault today, and he hasn't had a drink, so why is he talking nonsense. We all know what kind of person you are, come on!" do not Cry."
Xia Jingui thought it was funny, and sighed, but she just covered her face with a veil, and she wasn't crying. Hearing what Aunt Sun said, she couldn't take off the veil, and just lowered her head and shook her head slightly.
Aunt Sun became even more anxious. At this moment, Uncle Sun also came out of the door. Aunt Sun dragged her brother over and said to Xia Jingui: "My brother is here, you can beat him or scold him if you want, it's up to you Aunt Sun is quite reasonable, but Xia Jingui was thinking about another thing, Xia Jingui also knew that her actions had offended Uncle Sun, so Uncle Sun asked Grandma Sun to say something that exposed Xia Jingui's true colors.
Now that I hear it, I can take advantage of it, thinking that Xia Jingui slightly removed the veil, raised his eyes to look at Aunt Sun: "Don't blame Grand Aunt Sun. I don't dare to be angry, I don't I know that this world treats women like this. No matter how good you are, you will not be able to marry a husband, even if you are beaten and scolded, you will be willing to bear it. But I am a little bit dissatisfied. I was also raised by my parents. Why did you marry me? Husband will let him beat and scold me? My mother loves me so badly that she begged someone to come forward, so she asked for a divorce letter. I also know that when a woman is divorced and returns home, she should live at home with peace of mind, eat fast and pray to Buddha , bless you in your next life to give birth to a male fetus, so that you don’t have to suffer like this again.”
Xia Jingui is a beautiful and weak woman. When she said such words sadly, Aunt Sun's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She just wanted to comfort Xia Jingui again, but Xia Jingui said weakly: "It's just my brother, Uncle Sun I know, I can’t become a talent, my sister-in-law is also a girl, so I thought, help if I can, do I want my mother to live that kind of wandering life when she is old? Added another crime."
Uncle Sun saw that Xia Jingui started to cry and complain again, he couldn't help snorting, and said to Aunt Sun: "Sister, don't believe her, she is full of lies, and none of them are true!"
"Are you so confused that you have the nerve to say such a thing?" Aunt Sun reached out and tapped Uncle Sun on the forehead, and said softly to Xia Jingui: "I know your difficulties, my brother is not sensible , I will say him. Aunt Xia, stop crying, Chunmei!"
The servant girl took a step forward, and Aunt Sun had already ordered: "You go and tell your sister-in-law Liu, let her go to the banquet, tell Mrs. Tang and the others, please continue to listen to the play, just say what I said, I ran into Aunt Xia , I want to have a private conversation with Aunt Xia, and ask them to forgive me."
Chunmei should be, turned around and ran into the garden.Aunt Sun took Xia Jingui's hand and comforted her: "Don't go back to the table, I'll have someone prepare hot water, and I'll serve you personally, and then we can talk for a while, okay?" It's different, Xia Jingui thought to herself, raised her head slightly, and nodded to Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun has already told Uncle Sun: "You have someone prepare washing water and bring it to the front, we have to talk for a while." Uncle Sun pointed to his nose and looked at Aunt Sun in disbelief. My aunt gave Uncle Sun a look, and Uncle Sun reluctantly left.
After Uncle Sun left, Aunt Sun took Xia Jingui's hand and went forward: "I can't tell Grandma Xia, my two younger brothers seem to be better than the other, but deep down, they are very naughty, hey, If my second brother is still here, I can worry less about it."
Xia Jingui also vaguely heard about the matter of the Sun family. The second son of the Sun family was known as a child prodigy since he was a child. Master Sun regarded the second son as his great hope. Huanxi, who knows that God is not blessed, when Second Master Sun was seventeen years old, he suddenly caught wind and cold, and he died within ten days.
Master Sun felt sorry for his son. Although he took people to destroy the hospital, he still couldn't get sick, and he died before the end of the year.At that time, Grandma Sun, the married daughter, came home to help Grandma Sun with the housework. Grandma Sun lost her three-month pregnancy due to exhaustion. conceived a child.
At this moment, Aunt Sun was so angry and angry that she even mentioned her second brother who had passed away for many years.Xia Jingui could also hear the pain in Aunt Sun's words, and said to Aunt Sun: "Actually, I don't blame Uncle Sun. After all, what I did is really..." Xia Jingui sighed: "Actually, I just don't Just be willing to accept your fate. Otherwise, just treat yourself like a clay sculpture and wood sculpture, endure it for a few years, and wait until you have a son and an eldest daughter, and you will be fine."
Xia Jingui's sigh was genuine. After all, after traveling for so long, what Xia Jingui felt most strongly was bondage.Women can't go out alone, can't go to court, can't have property in their own name, can't... a series of things that Xia Jingui can't know, even if he tries his best, it's just a small world that can be earned.And even this small world has to be questioned, because it is not something she can have.
Xia Jingui's sigh was heard by Aunt Sun, but it was an excuse for Uncle Sun.Aunt Sun couldn't help but nodded to Xia Jingui: "Grandma Xia said such things for my brother, it really makes me ashamed to death."
☆, persuasion
Seeing Aunt Sun talking like this, Xia Jingui knew that Aunt Sun had guessed wrong, but she didn't say anything, she just smiled at Aunt Sun, who shook Xia Jingui's hand firmly: "Don't worry, what kind of person are you?" I know that in the future, as long as I hear such words, I will definitely scold them."
While talking, the two had already walked into the house, where the washing water had been prepared, Aunt Sun made a gesture to take the washbasin from the maid, Xia Jingui hurriedly stopped her.Seeing Auntie Sun like this, the servant girl hurriedly knelt down with the washbasin in her hand, and Auntie Sun came over to help Xia Jingui roll up her sleeves. Xia Jingui knew that it would be no good to push back, so she put her hands in the basin and washed her face. The makeup powder came over and applied Xia Jingui with makeup powder.
After Xia Jingui finished dressing up again, the servant girl brought tea again. Aunt Sun asked Xia Jingui to drink tea, and smiled at Xia Jingui, "Grandma Xia is a big loser. Don't worry. I'll ask brother to make an apology to you after two days." Xia Jingui also knew the principle of accepting as soon as she was offered, so she hastily declined, and then said to Aunt Sun, "Aunt Sun told Chunmei to go back just now, and she asked Mrs. Tang and the others to wait a little longer. If I'm not wrong, this Are the two families getting married?"
Aunt Sun pursed her lips and smiled: "As expected, Bingxue is smart, and I won't hide it from you. My brother and sister have passed away for a long time, and this family also needs to have a master. There is also my third brother, who is not young anymore. So I I just thought, since we are holding a flower viewing feast, we might as well decide on their marriage."
Xia Jingui hurriedly said congratulations, thinking about the Zhu family's matter, since Mrs. Wei made up for the Zhu's side, then she should also make up for the Sun's side's matter, so Xia Jingui pondered for a moment before smiling and said: " I have also heard about this incident, when the Zhu family..."
Speaking of which, Xia Jingui raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Aunt Sun's face, and saw Aunt Sun's face sighing slightly, Xia Jingui continued: "The matter of marriage is originally related to the previous life, Aunt Sun The one you like this time must be better. One more thing, Aunt Sun, don't think I'm straightforward."
"Why do you dislike it? Speaking of it, although there are so many people here today, most of them are here to socialize. There are not many people who can really talk about what is in their hearts. Grandma Xia can say whatever she wants."
Aunt Sun's words did not surprise Xia Jingui, and of course Xia Jingui was not so stupid as to say it directly, so Xia Jingui just smiled shyly and said, "Actually, I also know that the matter between your mansion and Zhu's family is just our little one. In this business, the door is open for business, and all visitors are customers, regardless of whether there is any disagreement between the guests, the business must be done."
While talking, Xia Jingui glanced at Aunt Sun again, and stopped talking, just rolled up the veil with her hands: "Of course I don't have such a big face, so I want to be a lobbyist between your two families. I just hope that when doing business in the future, your residence will not think that we have business dealings with the Zhu family..."
After talking about Xia Jingui, she acted as if she couldn't continue, and Aunt Sun sighed softly: "I understand what you mean, you are a woman after all, and the reason why my brother wants to give you a bad look is because Because you have done business with the Zhu family. Don't worry, I know my own brother. He is not a small-bellied person. This is one or two. Grandma Xia, don't blame me for talking too much. This woman is originally in this world. Difficult, there are not many people like you who refuse to accept their fate. Those who refuse to admit their fate, face it naturally, are even more..."
Xia Jingui knew that Aunt Sun had completely leaned towards her, so she hurriedly helped Aunt Sun: "It is said that I was able to read and write since I was a child, and I should regard my husband as my god, but I always..." Xia Jingui choked on purpose and used Pazi wiped away the non-existing tears in the corner of his eyes, then turned to Aunt Sun and said: "So Uncle Sun looks down on me like this, and I have nothing to complain about. I just hope that Uncle Sun can show my brother a little face when he goes out."
"It's natural!" Aunt Sun agreed again and again, and comforted Xia Jingui a few more words, Xia Jingui stood up and saluted to Aunt Sun: "I am very grateful that Aunt Sun is willing to listen to me today. It's been too long at this time, it's really my fault if I keep the guests waiting for a long time."
Aunt Sun also stood up and supported Xia Jingui: "Hey, a person like you is both sensible and polite, and that family doesn't know how to treat you so that you are allowed to do this. Let's go. Don't worry, if in the future you If you really have something to say, I will stand up for you." Xia Jingui hastily thanked and thanked again, and the two returned the same way, Xia Jingui also pointed to several outstanding scenic spots in the garden, and asked Aunt Sun about the beauty of these scenic spots. place.
The two had questions and answers, and Xia Jingui's image in Aunt Sun's eyes was even better. If the Xue family hadn't done something very excessive, how could such a sensible girl think that she would die and be broken? The Xue family came out?When the two were about to arrive at the flower hall, Mrs. Liu caught up with Aunt Sun: "Grandma, just now Sun Qian's family came to report that his grandma is gone."
Sun Qianhu?Xia Jingui remembered that Sun Shaozu was a military officer, and the two families both had the surname Sun, and now they came to report the funeral again, could it be said that they belonged to the same family?This needs to be clarified, so Xia Jingui deliberately pretended not to know and asked Aunt Sun: "This Sun Qianhu's family is supposed to be aristocratic? There are both scholars and military officers. Nobles really..."
Aunt Sun has already given orders to Mrs. Liu's housekeeper, and when she heard Xia Jingui's inquiry, she smiled wryly and shook her head: "It's just that they have the same surname by chance, not even from the same township, and only because of some minor ties, they come into contact with each other. ...It's just that their grandma is better, but God bless good people, Jia's mansion was copied, and this grandma is gone."
It really was Sun Shaozu who was married in Yingchun, Xia Jingui sighed in his heart, but he did not speak but only sighed softly. Aunt Sun suddenly remembered that Jia Xue and his family were related, and said to Xia Jingui: "Hey, a woman's life! Born in such a mansion, married So what about a man like this, if he accepts his fate, he will die."
"I've never met the second aunt of the Jia family, but I've heard others mention her, saying that she is very gentle. It's just that Uncle Sun, I don't have much to say." Xia Jingui's words made Aunt Sun sigh even more, and she patted Xia Jingui. Hand: "Therefore, there are advantages to not accepting fate. Let's go in."
The two entered the flower hall, and the girls also returned to the flower hall. Mrs. Tang was talking to someone, when she looked up and saw Aunt Sun and Xia Jingui walking in, Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "You two, what are you talking about privately?" So, leave us here for half a day?"
"That's right. Just now I saw someone coming over from a distance from the window, but who knew that she was standing there talking again by the door. What kind of words are there, we can't hear them?" Mrs. Su also laughed and joked.Aunt Sun was about to get the teapot, when she heard Mrs. Su's words, she put the teapot down: "I originally wanted to punish myself with a cup, but since you asked me, I just said, it's just that I saw the sweet-scented osmanthus of the Xia family like this." That’s good, so I grabbed Aunt Xia and asked a few words, standing in the flower hall to talk, it was just a time ago that a person with contacts came to report that their grandma was gone, because Aunt Xia also recognized that family, the two of us Relatively sighed a few words."
Since they were sighing relative to each other, the lost grandma was still young, and Mrs. Tang couldn't help but also sighed: "Hey, the fate of this person's prosperity and decline cannot be determined."
"Which family's grandma is gone? If there is any contact, I'm afraid she will report to my house right now." Mrs. Su asked about this, and Aunt Sun had already picked up the teacup and put it down hastily: "Mrs. Su After thinking about it, I know that it is Sun Qianhu's eldest grandma, who said she has only been here for less than three years, she has no children, and this year she is just over [-]."
"It turned out to be his family!" There were also people who knew Sun Shaozu's temperament in the audience, and some of them changed their faces. Mrs. Tang subconsciously held her daughter's hand tightly. Wuyi, even if her mother's family came forward to tear the kidnapper away and go home by herself, the reputation is always not good.Just like this Xia Jingui, even though everyone was laughing and talking to her, when she wasn't there just now, several people in the seat laughed at her greatly.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Aunt Sun picked up the teacup with a smile: "Well, I shouldn't have said that again. Come on, come on, I'll punish myself first."
"It's not okay to replace wine with tea. We still have to get wine." Mrs. Tang came back to her senses and laughed jokingly. Mrs. Su had already asked the maid to bring the wine over quickly. Aunt Sun declined a few words with a smile, but she was still poured a glass. Talking and laughing again at the table, the silence just now seemed to have completely disappeared.The death of a famous lady is nothing more than a few sighs.
The banquet at the Sun's family was still lively, and Xia Jingui waited until everyone started to say goodbye before leaving. During the farewell, Aunt Sun said a few words to Xia Jingui that she would definitely say to Uncle Sun.Xia Jingui didn't care whether Aunt Sun trained Uncle Sun or not, and after thanking Aunt Sun, Xia Jingui got in the car and went back to the city.
As soon as he entered the house, the mother-in-law came out to greet her: "Auntie, you are finally back, and the eldest grandma has asked you several times." Xia Jingui untied the cloak on her body, and smiled to the inside: "What's the matter today, brother and sister, grandson?" Home is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair, so can't I go?"
☆, gossip
"Of course the Sun family is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. It's just that when I went to Zhu's house today, I heard Mrs. Zhu say something about Uncle Sun, so I was worried about my sister." Mrs. Wei had already come out to welcome her.
"What did you say?" Xia Jingui handed the cloak to the maid to take it down, and went into Mrs. Xia's room with Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Xia was sitting on the kang, looking for something there. Mrs. Wei said: "Your sister just came back, you also let her have a cup of tea, sit down and rest before talking."
"Mother, I'm not tired." Xia Jingui got on the kang and sat beside Mrs. Xia, but she didn't leave Mrs. Wei, still waiting for Mrs. Wei to finish speaking.Mrs. Wei sat on the chair next to the kang, took the teapot and poured tea, and when Xia Jingui asked, she smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, I just said that Uncle Sun has a bad temper, and he's a bit petty."
Xia Jingui snorted, it seems that what Mrs. Zhu said is right, if this Uncle Sun hadn't broken himself today, and Aunt Sun is a sensible grandma, I'm afraid he would be speechless at the banquet.
"I don't know how true or false what those outsiders said." Mrs. Xia was right, and Mrs. Wei turned to Xia Jingui with a smile: "Sister, I understand this truth, but Mrs. Zhu is not a liar either. talker. That's why I care about you."
Xia Jingui patted Mrs. Wei's hand knowingly: "Thank you very much, hey, I went to Sun's house today, and told you that Aunt Sun is a sensible person, and then I told Aunt Sun, we open the door to do it." For business, any kind of merchant should have a good talk with him. Both Zhu and Sun are our big merchants, so I ask Aunt Sun to tell Uncle Sun not to take it to heart.”
Mrs. Wei is a smart person. She knew that Xia Jingui didn't want Mrs. Xia to worry when she said this, so she changed her mind: "I'm going to Zhu's house today to visit Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu also said that in business, kindness is the most important thing. She won't think that there is something wrong with us just because we have business contacts with the Sun family, and she also said that she will introduce us to a few more big merchants!"
"It's a good relationship!" Mrs. Xia became happy when she heard her daughter-in-law's discussion, and nodded repeatedly.Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei chatted a few more gossips.After coming out of Mrs. Xia's room, Mrs. Wei pulled Xia Jingui into the room, and said to Xia Jingui, "Mrs. Zhu said more than that. She also said, and said..."
While talking, Mrs. Wei's voice gradually lowered: "She also said that Grandma Sun's death, I heard that there was something else wrong with it, it was not as simple as dying of illness. It is for this reason that her family is going to withdraw the marriage for their daughter."
Xia Jingui let out a cry, frowned and thought about it. Although Uncle Sun had a bit of cancer, this was also a normal situation in ancient times. Based on the sadness when Aunt Sun mentioned Grandma Sun, I felt that Uncle Sun and Grandma Sun were also very sad at the time. Dear, why are such words spread?
Mrs. Wei also knew about the quarrel between Zhu and Sun's two families, and there might be a lot of embellishments in it, so Mrs. Wei said again: "Sister, this is just a word, anyway, our two families are not in-laws. When my sister sees this Uncle Sun in the future, she should not mention these things in words, lest this person remember it in her heart, who knows how she will retaliate in the future."
