Xia Jingui of the Red Chamber
Chapter 49
"Grandma recognizes our boss, or grandma's family, and also has business dealings with our family? If so, then it would be better if they were old acquaintances." The man's answer made Xia Jingui's face sink, and Mrs. Wei heard it too. , she pulled Xia Jingui's hand and said to the clerk, "Suddenly remembered something, so I left first."
The guy didn't know why, but he still wanted to ask: "Is there anything you two fancy? The younger one will tell the shopkeeper and send it to the mansion." Madam Wei was about to say that there was nothing to fancy, when Xia Jingui lit the feather The fan and the small mirror said: "We need these two things." Mrs. Wei looked at Xia Jingui in surprise, Xia Jingui had already left, and Mrs. Wei hurriedly followed.
The clerk also went outside to talk to the shopkeeper. Seeing that the glass screen was put away, the shopkeeper knew that the two female customers had left, so he smiled at Uncle Sun and said, "Just now there were two female customers who said they wanted to come in. That's why I opened the screen."
This is also a common occurrence. Uncle Sun said nothing, but the man smiled and said: "These two female customers also asked if our owner's surname is Sun, and they want to do business with our family."
Uncle Sun frowned slightly, and the shopkeeper already smiled and said: "The business of my boss is getting bigger and bigger. After that, there will be more and more people doing business with our family. You should wrap up your things quickly and send them away." Go to their house." The clerk should be, and said to the shopkeeper: "They say their surname is Xia, and they live in..."
Before the man could finish talking about the address, Uncle Sun had already uttered an oh, and looked outside subconsciously. He couldn't see anything at the moment, and he couldn't see the Xia family's carriage either.
The shopkeeper was remembering the name and the number. Seeing that Uncle Sun was looking out without saying a word, he smiled and asked Uncle Sun: "Boss, since we have contacts with our family, it's not easy to earn money from their family, how about..."
"No!" Uncle Sun was just about to say that he should make more money. Anyway, among the money, there is also money for buying sweet-scented osmanthus saplings from his own family. Before he could say a word, Uncle Sun suddenly felt amused, what's wrong with a woman? ?So Uncle Sun's words became: "Forget it, you put what they want on my account, just say, it's just some small things, I can still afford this host."
The shopkeeper responded repeatedly, and hurriedly wrote it down, and made a judgment in his heart, this person surnamed Xia must be a member of a big customer merchant, otherwise his boss would not give away things for nothing without money.
When Xia Jingui and the others returned home, all the shops had already delivered the things they bought from shopping, and they were waiting there for the cash to settle the bill.Mrs. Wei took the shopping list, asked her mother-in-law and knew that she had checked the amount, so she went into the house to get the silver, so that she could pay the bill.
Xia Jingui asked people to bring these things into Mrs. Xia's room, and Mrs. Xia looked at which of these things were good and which ones were not so good.Mrs. Wei has already walked in with a smile: "Sister, there is something strange today."
Xia Jingui looked at Mrs. Wei suspiciously, and Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and smiled and said, "In the bill that was sent just now, the Xia family said that their boss said that these little things can still afford this host, and they didn't take the money. Then The guy also said, what he said is that from now on, no money will be charged for small things in his shop.”
"Oh, this Uncle Sun really knows how to be a man." Although these things are not worth much money, Mrs. Xia has already praised them, and Xia Jingui frowned: "There is no reason not to be rewarded for nothing. At that time, you should Tell me that if you don't want money, you should return it."
"Oh sister, you also know that the guy left after delivering the things. My mother-in-law told me that the things are also collected now, so it's not good to send them back." Xia Jingui's brows frowned even tighter. Do you think this will make people feel a little better about him?But what Mrs. Wei said is also reasonable, sending it back and forth is too troublesome.
So Xia Jingui smiled: "Since they gave us things, we will also give him some sweet-scented osmanthus saplings." After saying that, Xia Jingui walked out: "Come here, put the pen and ink."
"Sister, why do you need pens and inks when you want to deliver things?" Mrs. Wei walked out behind Xia Jingui, and asked very puzzled. Xiao Sheer had already prepared pens and inks. Write it on the post.Mrs. Wei leaned over to look, and saw that it was written in eight characters: "It is a shame to be rewarded for no merit."
Mrs. Wei yelled after finishing reading: "My sister is still thoughtful. Although they are good at being human, we just took things from others. If others don't know, they still think we are greedy for other people's things."
Looking at the eight characters she wrote, Xia Jingui was once again thankful that she was asked to practice calligraphy by her father when she was young, and she has maintained the frequency of practicing calligraphy once a week for so many years. people.
"Received for nothing, I am ashamed." Uncle Sun opened the post, scanned the upper and lower paragraphs, saw only these eight characters, and laughed after reading it. It's really funny to act like I'm very polite and others can't say it.
Uncle Sun accepted the post, and told Steward Liu: "Since the Xia family has sent osmanthus saplings, please accept them and give them a reward." Butler Liu said later: "Master, there is one more thing to keep in mind. I forgot to tell you that it is the marriage of the Tang family. My aunt has already found a matchmaker to send a post, but the matchmaker replied that the Tang family has to close the horoscope again. Good engagement."
If Steward Liu hadn't brought up this matter, Uncle Sun would have almost forgotten about it. Uncle Sun just said, "Since the Tang family wants to close the horoscope, let them do it. I..."
"Master, that's not the case." Butler Liu spoke after a moment of deliberation: "Master, it's like this. I'm afraid the Tang family will think about those rumors last time and refuse to marry at that time. You just..."
Not allowed to marry?Uncle Sun has never thought about this possibility. Although he is remarrying, Uncle Sun also knows that he is not very old, and his wife before him has no children. As soon as he enters the house, he will be in charge of the family. Many people are still willing to marry their daughters to him of.So Uncle Sun shook his head confidently: "Those rumors, we all know that there is no actual evidence, so what do you do with them? Needless to say. Besides, if there is no this one, there is another one."
Steward Liu is not as confident as Uncle Sun, but Steward Liu still should be. After Uncle Sun and Steward Liu finished talking, he told Steward Liu: "I should go and talk to Eldest Sister about the third brother's marriage, and we have to hurry up and do it quickly." Wake up, and the second sister, it's almost the end of the new year, and I have to prepare a gift for her, so that they know that even if she is married far away, her natal family will always remember it, and will never forget it. her."
Butler Liu should be the one again, Uncle Sun let Steward Liu go, thinking about his own affairs, the most important thing now is business matters, and we have to plan carefully, how can we steal a few deals from the Zhu family, now The few sums that were robbed did not hurt one's muscles and bones. After robbing a few more sums, the Zhu family knew that their family's choice at the beginning was really wrong.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Xia's family to appreciate flowers. Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei borrowed the neighbor's garden, and once the walls on both sides were torn down, they could serve wine. Theatrical troupes in the capital are very expensive, so Xia Jingui only invited Baibai For a play, this way of doing it is lively and saves money.Some guests came early in the morning, but Mrs. Zhu arrived later than others.
Mrs. Wei greeted her, and when Mrs. Zhu saw Mrs. Wei, she sighed before she could speak: "Grandma Xia, I didn't want to be a guest at first." This shocked Mrs. Wei, and hurriedly asked: "It's only been a few days since I left. See, Mrs. Zhu, you look like this." Mrs. Zhu sighed: "Hey, Grandma Xia, you don't know that our family's business is not good these days, who knows my son, that's all, I can't say it, anyway It was seduced by others, why is our family's luck this year so bad?"
Xia Jingui happened to come out to meet Mrs. Zhu, and when she heard these words, she suddenly thought of Uncle Sun. Xia Jingui had heard of the tricks in business, both open and dark, and Mrs. Zhu's complaints at the moment sounded like It seemed that Uncle Sun had used some dark means.This person is really not a good person. It is also common to talk about stealing business, but it is a bit too much to use any shady means, let alone lure other people's children to not learn well.
Xia Jingui thought in his heart, and couldn't help saying this: "Business is not good, it's a common thing, but if Mr. Zhu is seduced by someone, I'm afraid it's someone with a heart behind his back." Mrs. Zhu nodded: "I know this too, So I got up early this morning and called him in, crying and persuading him, he's better, otherwise I wouldn't have come."
Mrs. Wei and Xia Jingui comforted Mrs. Zhu again, and Mrs. Zhu went to sit inside. Before Xia Jingui entered the hall, the mother-in-law came to report that Aunt Sun had arrived.Lady Wei heard that Aunt Sun was coming, and asked Xia Jingui in a low voice: "Sister, didn't you say that Mrs. Wu won't come?"
Aunt Sun's husband's family name is Wu, and when she goes out for a walk, she is naturally called Mrs. Wu. Xia Jingui didn't expect that Aunt Sun would come. When she sent the post, Xia Jingui hesitated a bit. Do you want to give it away? If not, the two families are still on good terms. My own family treats guests and didn't send a post here, which is a bit ugly to say. If I give it away, Aunt Sun will be a little embarrassed when she sees Mrs. Zhu.
Fortunately, when Xia Jingui went to deliver the post, she heard Aunt Sun say with her own ears that there was something to do that day, so this post might not come.Xia Jingui was relieved now, but now that people came, Xia Jingui naturally had no reason to keep them out. Xia Jingui let Mrs. Wei in first, talked with Mrs. Zhu and the others, then straightened his clothes and greeted them outside.
☆, clear
When Xia Jingui walked outside the door, Aunt Sun had just stepped out of the carriage. Seeing Xia Jingui coming out, Aunt Sun smiled and said, "This house is not bad, especially the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the yard. They are very good."
"These two sweet-scented osmanthus trees belonged to the original owner, not our family. Our family's sweet-scented osmanthus trees are all placed in the back garden today. There are also a few pots of chrysanthemums, which are for viewing flowers, but there is no one from your family. There are so many flowers here, and secondly, it’s not as big as your house, but it’s just an opportunity for everyone to talk and relieve loneliness.” Xia Jingui walked inside with Aunt Sun, seeing that she was about to go to the banquet, Xia Jingui Already smiled and said: "Mrs. Wu couldn't say it before, but now it's coming again. Let me guess, Mrs. Wu is probably going to see Mrs. Tang?"
Aunt Sun stopped and smiled at Xia Jingui: "As expected, you are a crystal heart, you guessed it." Then Aunt Sun sighed: "You heard about it the other day, and I won't hide it from you. They all said it well, but who knows that in the past two days, they only said that they are combining characters, and they refused to say anything. I was impatient, so I borrowed the mat from your house and asked face to face."
Xia Jingui covered her mouth with a smile: "In this way, Mrs. Tang will be invited out at that time, you two talk slowly." Xia Jingui whispered: "Mrs. Zhu is also here today. I was thinking about it. And Mrs. Zhu, do you also have some..."
Mrs. Zhu?Aunt Sun smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing. It's common for marriages to fail. If you don't see each other from now on, it will seem too narrow-minded." Xia Jingui looked at Aunt Sun's expression carefully. The aunt looked calm, what she just said didn't sound like an excuse, could it be that the rumors outside were false?Or is Uncle Sun the narrow-minded one, and Aunt Sun is not such a person?
When Xia Jingui was talking to Aunt Sun, Mrs. Wei also told Mrs. Zhu that Aunt Sun had also come to the banquet.When Mrs. Zhu heard the word "Sun", she frowned slightly, then forced a smile and said: "This is also a common thing. There are contacts on both sides, so there is no reason for me to come and not allow others to come."
"Mrs. Zhu's temperament is still the same as before." Mrs. Tang praised from the side, and Mrs. Zhu also smiled, and said to Mrs. Tang: "A few days ago, I heard that your eldest daughter is looking for a marriage. ?”
This was what Mrs. Tang was worried about. Just as she was about to talk to Mrs. Zhu again, she saw Xia Jingui and Aunt Sun walking in with smiles, so everyone stopped talking and greeted each other.Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, knowing that Zhu and Sun would at least protect their face, and they both heaved a sigh of relief.
After everyone sat down, they served some tea, chatted and laughed for a while, and then it was heard that there was a hundred operas playing in front of them. Everyone watched and drank a few glasses of wine.Aunt Sun put down her wine glass and smiled at Xia Jingui, "I haven't been drinking well these two days, so I want to take a break, please..." Aunt Sun shook her head, "But I'm confused. Would you like Aunt Xia to accompany me? We haven’t seen Mrs. Tang for several days, maybe we can go to enjoy the flowers together and talk?”
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Tang and Aunt Sun. Mrs. Tang thought about it and knew that it would be a matter of time, so she stood up with a smile, "That's the best, Mrs. Wu please." Xia Jingui hurriedly called a woman Accompanied by the two of them, everyone at the table wanted to hear what the two of them had to say, but the host was entertaining them here, and it was not easy for everyone to leave the table, they still exchanged pleasantries and jokes.
After Aunt Sun and Mrs. Tang left, Mrs. Zhu sighed softly: "The matter of marriage is really uncertain." Everyone present understood the meaning of Mrs. Zhu's words, but no one answered, only Xia Jingui held it. Jiu finds other words to divert the conversation.
The Xia family is famous for its sweet-scented osmanthus trees. Although the sweet-scented osmanthus trees picked by Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei are not big trees, each plant is full of golden stamens. This chrysanthemum is just in time. Although the garden of chrysanthemums is not big, it is quite impressive.However, Aunt Sun and Mrs. Tang were not in the mood to enjoy the flowers. They walked farther and farther away from the table.
Aunt Sun also sat next to the beauty on the porch, and told the mother-in-law: "I'm a little thirsty, please pour me a cup of tea." After the mother-in-law left, Aunt Sun greeted Mrs. Tang: "Mrs. Please sit down, I've been walking for a while, and I'm tired." Mrs. Tang did not sit down, she just looked at Aunt Sun and said, "I understand what Mrs. Wu means, but this daughter..."
"Marriage is a matter of mutual agreement between the two families. If your family is really unwilling, I can't force it. I just want to ask Mrs. Tang, does Mrs. Tang believe those rumors so much?" Aunt Sun went straight to the point Mrs. Tang felt ashamed to make false claims any longer, she sat beside Aunt Sun and said, "Since Mrs. Wu knew about it, why bother to ask me again? I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but the grandma of Sun Qianhu's family was murdered alive. Yes, I still know. Mrs. Wu, there is a saying, I am not afraid of you laughing at me, I would rather my daughter never get married, and I don’t want my daughter to marry, there is something bad about it.”
This was already a clear refusal. Aunt Sun lowered her head and thought for a while, then she raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Tang: "In that case, I can't force it, but there is one more thing, can Mrs. Tang answer me? Mrs. Tang also met my younger brother, who praised him repeatedly at the beginning, and my younger brother, who has been doing business in the capital for several years, why did Mrs. Tang believe the rumors at this time? ?”
The mother-in-law had already come over with tea, and Mrs. Tang sighed softly: "Mrs. Wu, I know you love my younger brother, but you have been married for a long time, and there are some things that even your younger brother might not tell you. This is one of them. Second, when I came to the banquet today, I heard Mrs. Zhu complain a lot about her son being lured to do some shady things recently. Mrs. Zhu also said that although her son believed others, she called him again. I have scolded the people who followed me, but this is fine, why did such a thing happen?"
The mother-in-law has already come to the front, and Aunt Sun's face has become very ugly. How can Aunt Sun not understand the meaning of Mrs. Tang's words? She suspects that the Sun family has a grudge and is looking for someone to lure the son of the Zhu family. That's how these things happen.But Aunt Sun knows her younger brother. It is certain that Uncle Sun will steal the Zhu family's business, but Uncle Sun can't do it at all, and he is not willing to do it. .
So Aunt Sun didn't reach for the teacup, but just sneered at Mrs. Tang: "Will Mrs. Tang believe it if you talk about it without evidence?"
Mrs. Tang blushed slightly and said, "Mrs. Zhu will never speak ill of her son."
"Of course Mrs. Zhu won't speak ill of her son-in-law, but Mrs. Tang, the capital is so big and full of local hooligans, how can Mrs. Tang be sure that it was my family who did the trick?" Aunt Sun said. Hearing this, she became very angry, and Mrs. Tang hurriedly stood up and said, "Mrs. Wu, I didn't say that my younger brother did this. Why did you get so angry? Mrs. Wu, it's not easy to force marriage matters." Well, just before they came here, they also told me that the horoscope is only in between, and they are not a good couple. I was still hesitating at first, but since this is the case, Mrs. Wu, I will let go of this marriage. I will have someone send back my younger brother's post. If my younger brother is so young and beautiful, I will definitely find someone better."
Saying that, Mrs. Tang left, and the mother-in-law stood there holding the cup of tea, not daring to speak or leave, but just looking at Aunt Sun, Aunt Sun suddenly smiled: "That's all, that's all, why are you so angry?" In this life, what kind of person can’t see?” As she spoke, Aunt Sun reached out and picked up the cup of tea, drank it dry in one gulp, then put down the cup, and said to the mother-in-law, “Support me and your grandma. Grandma and aunt said, I have something to do suddenly and I have to go home."
The mother-in-law hurriedly responded, Aunt Sun left in a hurry, and Mrs. Tang returned to the banquet, but she did not see Aunt Sun, everyone was very curious. Mrs. Tang had already smiled at Xia Jingui and said: "There is something small at home suddenly, please leave It's time." The guest wanted to leave, and Xia Jingui couldn't force him to stay, so he got up to see Mrs. Tang off, but the woman came back just as she walked to the door, and Xia Jingui frowned slightly when she heard Aunt Sun leave without saying goodbye, but she didn't say anything. Send Mrs. Tang out for anything.
"Today's matter looks really strange." Both Tang and Sun left in a hurry, and naturally there were people discussing it.Mrs. Wei was also very curious, but the master was always reluctant to speak, so he could only look at the crowd.A smile appeared on Mrs. Zhu's lips, she didn't expect to come to Xia's house and see a good show, today's trip was not in vain.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Zhu picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.Everyone discussed for a while, seeing Xia Jingui came back, some people also asked if they saw Aunt Sun?Naturally, Xia Jingui didn't see him, so he interrupted the conversation with other words, and the Xia family's banquet continued.
On the other side, Aunt Sun has already arrived at Sun's house in a hurry. When Uncle Sun heard that his sister was back, he rushed out to welcome her. Seeing her face full of frost, Uncle Sun was even more surprised: "Sister, what's the matter with you? Didn't you say that you are going today?" Is the Xia family going to the banquet? Could it be that the aunt of the Xia family was impolite in etiquette and offended you, sister, I said, such a person should not have more contact!"
Aunt Sun slapped the table suddenly: "It's not her who is angry with me, it's you! Tell me honestly, do you know about these rumors outside?" Uncle Sun was surprised at first, then laughed: "How old am I? Something, it turned out to be those rumors. Sister, let me tell you, can you believe the words of outsiders? Your deceased siblings and I were..."
☆, bow your head
"It's not this!" Aunt Sun patted the table again, and said with a sneer, "This time, it's strange that someone said that the son of the Zhu family was lured into doing those shady things, and someone said that it was you who instigated it. "The rumors will evolve into variants?Uncle Sun blinked: "Sister, would you trust me to do these things?"
"Of course I don't believe it, but I can't stop outsiders from believing it!" Aunt Sun also knew that her younger brother would not do such a thing, but she couldn't help but sigh: "I also know your temper, do you believe in life?" I'm not afraid, but how many people in this world can truly understand this sentence? I told you earlier that if there are some entertainments, you should go if you have to go, and if you have something to say, you should say it, but you I always don't believe it, but now, such a big thing happened."
"Sister, this is invisible and unfounded. Even if it is rumored to be crazy, what does it have to do with me?" After a brief surprise, Uncle Sun returned to normal, sitting in front of Aunt Sun, Serious explanation.Aunt Sun looked up at her younger brother, shook her head and sighed, "You really think it's nothing to do with it? Originally, the Tang family had already agreed to the marriage, but now Mrs. Tang said that they were married, but they decided not to agree. This marriage is over. Brother, this matter seems to be a small matter, but it has far-reaching effects. I know that you have never taken these things seriously. Naturally, you are a man with great ambitions. You shouldn't have taken care of the affairs here, but everyone speaks for themselves."
Uncle Sun was reprimanded by Aunt Sun and his head was bowed, and he dared not speak.Aunt Sun sighed: "But the mouths of the world can say this or that. After all, I have to help you settle this matter."
"Sister, what's the end?" Seeing her brother's innocent face, Aunt Sun sighed even louder: "You, go and find out the person who seduced the Zhu family, find a charge, and hand it over to the Zhu family. From then on, we The two families can let go of their knots and let's go together again..."
"No!" Aunt Sun was stunned by Uncle Sun's words and looked at her younger brother: "Why not? It's just a little..."
"Small matter, small matter, everyone of you told me it was a small matter. The third brother and Miss Zhu have been engaged since childhood. When Zhu's family returned to the capital, it was because of our in-laws' sake that we were helpful to them. What about now? When the family regained their vitality, they wanted to climb high and looked down on our family. Taking advantage of the third brother's minor illness, he took the opportunity to divorce. Sister, you also know that the third brother's illness was not that serious in the first place. " Uncle Sun's words were full of anger, and Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment before sighing: "Of course I feel sorry for Third Brother, but Brother, in this world, people always have to..."
"Always be more friendly. In business, you have to be both right and left to do well. I can hear these words from the cocoon." Uncle Sun's voice became softer, but his tone was still dissatisfied. .Aunt Sun sighed softly: "So what? The Zhu family has climbed a high branch, let alone a short while, even if they spend their entire lives, it may be difficult to catch up."
Uncle Sun's hands were already clenched into fists, and Aunt Sun's voice was choked with sobs: "I know, this knot in your heart will never be untied. Brother, even if I beg you, just end this matter , otherwise your marriage with the third brother is not in harmony, how can I have the face to go to see my parents, what face do I have, and wait for you and the third brother to have children so that the second brother can continue the heir. Brother, I ..."
Tears rolled down Auntie Sun's eyes as she spoke, and her voice became incoherent, covering her face with a handkerchief. Seeing that Auntie Sun was so sad, Uncle Sun stepped forward to hold Auntie Sun on her shoulder: "Sister, I understand what you mean. This matter is over. No matter what happens to the Zhu family, others will not get involved in our family. It's just that my sister, a villain like the Zhu family, wants to pretend to be a good person. In my heart, Dissatisfied!"
"Don't accept?" Aunt Sun looked up at her younger brother: "What can you do if you don't accept? Even if you rob a few businesses, the Zhu family will take advantage of the power of the current in-laws, and it will not be easy to snatch them back. This will You don’t have any relatives in your family, can you stop Mrs. Zhu from complaining on the table, but she is actually poisoning you? You, don’t take women’s words to heart all day long. Sometimes, women If you want to be vicious, you will be more vicious than anyone else."
"Sister is not such a vicious person." Aunt Sun laughed at Uncle Sun's words, glared at her brother a few times, and said, "It's better to coax me now, and I know, I want you to do this." It's hard for you. If you don't want to, I'll let your brother-in-law do it. "
"Sister, I..." Uncle Sun still wanted to stop him, but Aunt Sun said to him softly, "You, since you were young, you felt that you could protect everyone, but that's not the case. Your brother-in-law is also with Zhu The family has business contacts, so it is not difficult to find the person who seduced the young master of the Zhu family. Besides, the people who want to see you fighting with the Zhu family are not one or two families, could it be that they have been granted in vain?"
"Sister taught me a lesson!" Uncle Sun said this again to Aunt Sun, who had already waved her hand: "Forget it, nothing, it doesn't sound like you said it from the heart. Brother, I live a day, I can help you for a day, but this person has misfortunes and blessings, and you have such a temper that you can't tolerate others bullying your family, but sometimes, you have to bow your head when you should bow your head. This is one or two. I like Miss Tang. It is because she has a gentle temperament and can help persuade you. Brother, being strong is a good thing, but being strong is easy to break."
Uncle Sun lowered his head, and answered in a low voice. Aunt Sun looked at her younger brother, sighed softly, and suddenly said outside: "Sir brother, how long have you been hiding there, come in quickly." Then he came in along the wall, bowed to Aunt Sun and said eagerly: "Eldest sister, don't blame elder brother, elder brother loves me as a younger brother. In fact, although Miss Zhu has been engaged to me since childhood, the two of us I don’t care if I marry her or not, I only blame myself for being incompetent and not studying hard, which is why I let the Zhu family down.”
Speaking of which, Third Master Sun turned to Uncle Sun: "Brother, don't worry about the Zhu family's affairs. Marriage is always..."
"Okay, don't take turns talking about me." Uncle Sun took a deep breath and said to Aunt Sun: "I don't want my brother-in-law to come forward in this matter, so let me do so." With joy on his face, Third Master Sun looked even more embarrassed: "Brother, you..."
Uncle Sun waved his hands: "Stop talking, third brother, I also know that if I want to protect this family, I only hate that I am not capable enough, so people will bully me. I am the head of the family, and whoever bullies comes, only I'll suffer, there's no reason to let others suffer." Aunt Sun's eyes gleamed with tears again, but she didn't say what she wanted to say.
Uncle Sun also sighed. There are some things that I still think about simply. What's the use of Zhu's family relying on such a big tree, even if they grab a few business deals?And Mr. Zhu's so-called being seduced by others, I'm afraid the Zhu family took the opportunity to say it, so as to take the opportunity to step on their own family.What I hate is that even if I know the Zhu family's conspiracy, I have to bow my head for the sake of my family.
A few days later, Uncle Sun really kidnapped a few ruffian-like people to Zhu's house, saying that he had found out who was behind it, and said that these things are not unusual in the capital.When Mr. Zhu saw Uncle Sun coming to the door like this, he couldn't pretend not to see him, so he came out to receive him in person, then called Mr. Zhu over, and scolded him in front of him. Mr. Zhu also expressed that he would change his past and never be tempted again.
Master Zhu invited Uncle Sun to drink a few more glasses of wine, and the two parties were amicable at the table, and they revealed the incident after regretting the marriage.
Mrs. Wei knew about such a big gossip immediately, and she also found Xia Jingui to tell her about it immediately.Xia Jingui didn't expect that Uncle Sun would do something like this again, so he tied him up and told the Zhu family clearly that he didn't do this. This person is not stupid.But when he thought that this person was a straight male cancer, Xia Jingui was not interested, and after talking with Mrs. Wei for a while, he was about to leave.
Just as Mrs. Wei was about to go out, she suddenly remembered something: "Sister, there is one more thing, I don't want to tell you." It's not easy to tell her, I'm afraid it's about the Xue family. He should be beheaded too, thinking that he is a spoiled young master who beat someone to death on the spot in Jinling back then, because of his good relatives, there was nothing wrong with him.Now that he has come to this end, I don't know what is he thinking in his heart?Are you still queering over there?
"Sister, the person from Xue's family was stabbed yesterday, and my mother-in-law asked me to ask you. After all, she is a relative. She is going to Xue's family to express her condolences and ask sister, do you want her to go?" After Xia Jingui returned to Xia's house, Mrs. Xia recognized the situation. In this family, it was her daughter and daughter-in-law who had the final say, and she only needed to enjoy it.Now that I'm going to Xue's house, Mrs. Xia will of course ask her daughter.
Xia Jingui was just about to talk about what he was going to do, when he suddenly remembered that Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xue were still sister-in-law. This ancient relationship was also so intertwined.Xia Jingui pondered for a while and said: "Mother can decide on her own, after all, he is also her cousin."
Mrs. Wei told Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia was troubled: "It's up to me, I just don't know whether to go or not. If I don't go, I really don't have a family. If I go, Jingui and them at that time I don’t know why they gave me cold face after making such a fuss.”
☆, end
"Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about this. Since you are going, they won't kick you out. It's just for a while, not for a long time." Mrs. Wei's reassurance didn't help at all, and Mrs. Xia became even more worried. The ostensible reason was that Mrs. Wei was a relative of her natal family after all, but the hidden reason was that Mrs. Xia also wanted to make another settlement on behalf of Xia Jingui, and see for herself how the Xue family was doing now.But of course, Mrs. Xia would not tell Xia Jingui the secret reason.
Xia Jingui didn't know what Mrs. Xia meant. Anyway, he had never met Xue Pan, so whether he lived or died, it had nothing to do with him.It's a pity that Xiangling, Xia Jingui sighed when thinking of Xiangling.I followed Xiangling and thought of Xue Baochai. Now Jia's mansion has been raided, Yingchun is dead, Jia She and his son have been exiled, and Jia Zhen also went to serve in the army. Jia Zheng is the only one left in Jia's mansion. As for Baoyu, this piece of jade with a history of calamity will eventually leave the mundane world.
I don't know Xue Baochai, is it... Then Xia Jingui laughed. Xue Baochai, who was regarded as a lady of everyone, would have her peaceful days. As I said, the dignity of the ladies and ladies can last a lifetime if they are sold.
Xia Jingui thought about it there, and Mrs. Xia finally decided to go to Xue's house. Anyway, Xue's family is also poor at the moment.Mrs. Xia also took her mother-in-law, Baochan followed, and got into the car to go to Xue's house.Jia's mansion was raided, Xue's family naturally moved out from Rongguo's mansion, and all the original houses in Beijing were sold off to save Xue Pan.
The Xue family is renting a house outside at the moment. Xue Biao, his wife, Aunt Xue Xiangling and the child live together with the few remaining servant girls.When Baochan got out of the car, he frowned slightly. He never thought that the current situation of the Xue family was not much better than that of the Xia family.
Xue Pan is a prisoner on death row, and he is not allowed to stay at home. There is only a white flag hanging on the door, which is not a pair, but there is nothing else.
Baochan helped Mrs. Xia get out of the car. Mrs. Xia looked at the door with a look of disbelief: "This, it's really..." Baochan naturally wouldn't say what was in his heart. When Xia Jingui first married into Xue's family, What was the situation of the Xue family then, and what is the situation now.It's really life and death.
The mother-in-law had already said to Mrs. Xia: "Ma'am, this is here. That's right. I asked four or five times." As she said that, the mother-in-law knocked on the door. He just opened it from the inside, and Xue Biao walked out from the inside. He didn't notice anyone at the door, and he told the inside of the door: "You have to persuade your aunt and sister-in-law more to make her cry less."
Xing Xiuyan's voice came from inside the door: "Go to hell, this matter is over, and the aunt is at ease." Xue Biao turned around after speaking, and saw
The guy didn't know why, but he still wanted to ask: "Is there anything you two fancy? The younger one will tell the shopkeeper and send it to the mansion." Madam Wei was about to say that there was nothing to fancy, when Xia Jingui lit the feather The fan and the small mirror said: "We need these two things." Mrs. Wei looked at Xia Jingui in surprise, Xia Jingui had already left, and Mrs. Wei hurriedly followed.
The clerk also went outside to talk to the shopkeeper. Seeing that the glass screen was put away, the shopkeeper knew that the two female customers had left, so he smiled at Uncle Sun and said, "Just now there were two female customers who said they wanted to come in. That's why I opened the screen."
This is also a common occurrence. Uncle Sun said nothing, but the man smiled and said: "These two female customers also asked if our owner's surname is Sun, and they want to do business with our family."
Uncle Sun frowned slightly, and the shopkeeper already smiled and said: "The business of my boss is getting bigger and bigger. After that, there will be more and more people doing business with our family. You should wrap up your things quickly and send them away." Go to their house." The clerk should be, and said to the shopkeeper: "They say their surname is Xia, and they live in..."
Before the man could finish talking about the address, Uncle Sun had already uttered an oh, and looked outside subconsciously. He couldn't see anything at the moment, and he couldn't see the Xia family's carriage either.
The shopkeeper was remembering the name and the number. Seeing that Uncle Sun was looking out without saying a word, he smiled and asked Uncle Sun: "Boss, since we have contacts with our family, it's not easy to earn money from their family, how about..."
"No!" Uncle Sun was just about to say that he should make more money. Anyway, among the money, there is also money for buying sweet-scented osmanthus saplings from his own family. Before he could say a word, Uncle Sun suddenly felt amused, what's wrong with a woman? ?So Uncle Sun's words became: "Forget it, you put what they want on my account, just say, it's just some small things, I can still afford this host."
The shopkeeper responded repeatedly, and hurriedly wrote it down, and made a judgment in his heart, this person surnamed Xia must be a member of a big customer merchant, otherwise his boss would not give away things for nothing without money.
When Xia Jingui and the others returned home, all the shops had already delivered the things they bought from shopping, and they were waiting there for the cash to settle the bill.Mrs. Wei took the shopping list, asked her mother-in-law and knew that she had checked the amount, so she went into the house to get the silver, so that she could pay the bill.
Xia Jingui asked people to bring these things into Mrs. Xia's room, and Mrs. Xia looked at which of these things were good and which ones were not so good.Mrs. Wei has already walked in with a smile: "Sister, there is something strange today."
Xia Jingui looked at Mrs. Wei suspiciously, and Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and smiled and said, "In the bill that was sent just now, the Xia family said that their boss said that these little things can still afford this host, and they didn't take the money. Then The guy also said, what he said is that from now on, no money will be charged for small things in his shop.”
"Oh, this Uncle Sun really knows how to be a man." Although these things are not worth much money, Mrs. Xia has already praised them, and Xia Jingui frowned: "There is no reason not to be rewarded for nothing. At that time, you should Tell me that if you don't want money, you should return it."
"Oh sister, you also know that the guy left after delivering the things. My mother-in-law told me that the things are also collected now, so it's not good to send them back." Xia Jingui's brows frowned even tighter. Do you think this will make people feel a little better about him?But what Mrs. Wei said is also reasonable, sending it back and forth is too troublesome.
So Xia Jingui smiled: "Since they gave us things, we will also give him some sweet-scented osmanthus saplings." After saying that, Xia Jingui walked out: "Come here, put the pen and ink."
"Sister, why do you need pens and inks when you want to deliver things?" Mrs. Wei walked out behind Xia Jingui, and asked very puzzled. Xiao Sheer had already prepared pens and inks. Write it on the post.Mrs. Wei leaned over to look, and saw that it was written in eight characters: "It is a shame to be rewarded for no merit."
Mrs. Wei yelled after finishing reading: "My sister is still thoughtful. Although they are good at being human, we just took things from others. If others don't know, they still think we are greedy for other people's things."
Looking at the eight characters she wrote, Xia Jingui was once again thankful that she was asked to practice calligraphy by her father when she was young, and she has maintained the frequency of practicing calligraphy once a week for so many years. people.
"Received for nothing, I am ashamed." Uncle Sun opened the post, scanned the upper and lower paragraphs, saw only these eight characters, and laughed after reading it. It's really funny to act like I'm very polite and others can't say it.
Uncle Sun accepted the post, and told Steward Liu: "Since the Xia family has sent osmanthus saplings, please accept them and give them a reward." Butler Liu said later: "Master, there is one more thing to keep in mind. I forgot to tell you that it is the marriage of the Tang family. My aunt has already found a matchmaker to send a post, but the matchmaker replied that the Tang family has to close the horoscope again. Good engagement."
If Steward Liu hadn't brought up this matter, Uncle Sun would have almost forgotten about it. Uncle Sun just said, "Since the Tang family wants to close the horoscope, let them do it. I..."
"Master, that's not the case." Butler Liu spoke after a moment of deliberation: "Master, it's like this. I'm afraid the Tang family will think about those rumors last time and refuse to marry at that time. You just..."
Not allowed to marry?Uncle Sun has never thought about this possibility. Although he is remarrying, Uncle Sun also knows that he is not very old, and his wife before him has no children. As soon as he enters the house, he will be in charge of the family. Many people are still willing to marry their daughters to him of.So Uncle Sun shook his head confidently: "Those rumors, we all know that there is no actual evidence, so what do you do with them? Needless to say. Besides, if there is no this one, there is another one."
Steward Liu is not as confident as Uncle Sun, but Steward Liu still should be. After Uncle Sun and Steward Liu finished talking, he told Steward Liu: "I should go and talk to Eldest Sister about the third brother's marriage, and we have to hurry up and do it quickly." Wake up, and the second sister, it's almost the end of the new year, and I have to prepare a gift for her, so that they know that even if she is married far away, her natal family will always remember it, and will never forget it. her."
Butler Liu should be the one again, Uncle Sun let Steward Liu go, thinking about his own affairs, the most important thing now is business matters, and we have to plan carefully, how can we steal a few deals from the Zhu family, now The few sums that were robbed did not hurt one's muscles and bones. After robbing a few more sums, the Zhu family knew that their family's choice at the beginning was really wrong.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Xia's family to appreciate flowers. Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei borrowed the neighbor's garden, and once the walls on both sides were torn down, they could serve wine. Theatrical troupes in the capital are very expensive, so Xia Jingui only invited Baibai For a play, this way of doing it is lively and saves money.Some guests came early in the morning, but Mrs. Zhu arrived later than others.
Mrs. Wei greeted her, and when Mrs. Zhu saw Mrs. Wei, she sighed before she could speak: "Grandma Xia, I didn't want to be a guest at first." This shocked Mrs. Wei, and hurriedly asked: "It's only been a few days since I left. See, Mrs. Zhu, you look like this." Mrs. Zhu sighed: "Hey, Grandma Xia, you don't know that our family's business is not good these days, who knows my son, that's all, I can't say it, anyway It was seduced by others, why is our family's luck this year so bad?"
Xia Jingui happened to come out to meet Mrs. Zhu, and when she heard these words, she suddenly thought of Uncle Sun. Xia Jingui had heard of the tricks in business, both open and dark, and Mrs. Zhu's complaints at the moment sounded like It seemed that Uncle Sun had used some dark means.This person is really not a good person. It is also common to talk about stealing business, but it is a bit too much to use any shady means, let alone lure other people's children to not learn well.
Xia Jingui thought in his heart, and couldn't help saying this: "Business is not good, it's a common thing, but if Mr. Zhu is seduced by someone, I'm afraid it's someone with a heart behind his back." Mrs. Zhu nodded: "I know this too, So I got up early this morning and called him in, crying and persuading him, he's better, otherwise I wouldn't have come."
Mrs. Wei and Xia Jingui comforted Mrs. Zhu again, and Mrs. Zhu went to sit inside. Before Xia Jingui entered the hall, the mother-in-law came to report that Aunt Sun had arrived.Lady Wei heard that Aunt Sun was coming, and asked Xia Jingui in a low voice: "Sister, didn't you say that Mrs. Wu won't come?"
Aunt Sun's husband's family name is Wu, and when she goes out for a walk, she is naturally called Mrs. Wu. Xia Jingui didn't expect that Aunt Sun would come. When she sent the post, Xia Jingui hesitated a bit. Do you want to give it away? If not, the two families are still on good terms. My own family treats guests and didn't send a post here, which is a bit ugly to say. If I give it away, Aunt Sun will be a little embarrassed when she sees Mrs. Zhu.
Fortunately, when Xia Jingui went to deliver the post, she heard Aunt Sun say with her own ears that there was something to do that day, so this post might not come.Xia Jingui was relieved now, but now that people came, Xia Jingui naturally had no reason to keep them out. Xia Jingui let Mrs. Wei in first, talked with Mrs. Zhu and the others, then straightened his clothes and greeted them outside.
☆, clear
When Xia Jingui walked outside the door, Aunt Sun had just stepped out of the carriage. Seeing Xia Jingui coming out, Aunt Sun smiled and said, "This house is not bad, especially the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the yard. They are very good."
"These two sweet-scented osmanthus trees belonged to the original owner, not our family. Our family's sweet-scented osmanthus trees are all placed in the back garden today. There are also a few pots of chrysanthemums, which are for viewing flowers, but there is no one from your family. There are so many flowers here, and secondly, it’s not as big as your house, but it’s just an opportunity for everyone to talk and relieve loneliness.” Xia Jingui walked inside with Aunt Sun, seeing that she was about to go to the banquet, Xia Jingui Already smiled and said: "Mrs. Wu couldn't say it before, but now it's coming again. Let me guess, Mrs. Wu is probably going to see Mrs. Tang?"
Aunt Sun stopped and smiled at Xia Jingui: "As expected, you are a crystal heart, you guessed it." Then Aunt Sun sighed: "You heard about it the other day, and I won't hide it from you. They all said it well, but who knows that in the past two days, they only said that they are combining characters, and they refused to say anything. I was impatient, so I borrowed the mat from your house and asked face to face."
Xia Jingui covered her mouth with a smile: "In this way, Mrs. Tang will be invited out at that time, you two talk slowly." Xia Jingui whispered: "Mrs. Zhu is also here today. I was thinking about it. And Mrs. Zhu, do you also have some..."
Mrs. Zhu?Aunt Sun smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing. It's common for marriages to fail. If you don't see each other from now on, it will seem too narrow-minded." Xia Jingui looked at Aunt Sun's expression carefully. The aunt looked calm, what she just said didn't sound like an excuse, could it be that the rumors outside were false?Or is Uncle Sun the narrow-minded one, and Aunt Sun is not such a person?
When Xia Jingui was talking to Aunt Sun, Mrs. Wei also told Mrs. Zhu that Aunt Sun had also come to the banquet.When Mrs. Zhu heard the word "Sun", she frowned slightly, then forced a smile and said: "This is also a common thing. There are contacts on both sides, so there is no reason for me to come and not allow others to come."
"Mrs. Zhu's temperament is still the same as before." Mrs. Tang praised from the side, and Mrs. Zhu also smiled, and said to Mrs. Tang: "A few days ago, I heard that your eldest daughter is looking for a marriage. ?”
This was what Mrs. Tang was worried about. Just as she was about to talk to Mrs. Zhu again, she saw Xia Jingui and Aunt Sun walking in with smiles, so everyone stopped talking and greeted each other.Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, knowing that Zhu and Sun would at least protect their face, and they both heaved a sigh of relief.
After everyone sat down, they served some tea, chatted and laughed for a while, and then it was heard that there was a hundred operas playing in front of them. Everyone watched and drank a few glasses of wine.Aunt Sun put down her wine glass and smiled at Xia Jingui, "I haven't been drinking well these two days, so I want to take a break, please..." Aunt Sun shook her head, "But I'm confused. Would you like Aunt Xia to accompany me? We haven’t seen Mrs. Tang for several days, maybe we can go to enjoy the flowers together and talk?”
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Tang and Aunt Sun. Mrs. Tang thought about it and knew that it would be a matter of time, so she stood up with a smile, "That's the best, Mrs. Wu please." Xia Jingui hurriedly called a woman Accompanied by the two of them, everyone at the table wanted to hear what the two of them had to say, but the host was entertaining them here, and it was not easy for everyone to leave the table, they still exchanged pleasantries and jokes.
After Aunt Sun and Mrs. Tang left, Mrs. Zhu sighed softly: "The matter of marriage is really uncertain." Everyone present understood the meaning of Mrs. Zhu's words, but no one answered, only Xia Jingui held it. Jiu finds other words to divert the conversation.
The Xia family is famous for its sweet-scented osmanthus trees. Although the sweet-scented osmanthus trees picked by Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei are not big trees, each plant is full of golden stamens. This chrysanthemum is just in time. Although the garden of chrysanthemums is not big, it is quite impressive.However, Aunt Sun and Mrs. Tang were not in the mood to enjoy the flowers. They walked farther and farther away from the table.
Aunt Sun also sat next to the beauty on the porch, and told the mother-in-law: "I'm a little thirsty, please pour me a cup of tea." After the mother-in-law left, Aunt Sun greeted Mrs. Tang: "Mrs. Please sit down, I've been walking for a while, and I'm tired." Mrs. Tang did not sit down, she just looked at Aunt Sun and said, "I understand what Mrs. Wu means, but this daughter..."
"Marriage is a matter of mutual agreement between the two families. If your family is really unwilling, I can't force it. I just want to ask Mrs. Tang, does Mrs. Tang believe those rumors so much?" Aunt Sun went straight to the point Mrs. Tang felt ashamed to make false claims any longer, she sat beside Aunt Sun and said, "Since Mrs. Wu knew about it, why bother to ask me again? I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but the grandma of Sun Qianhu's family was murdered alive. Yes, I still know. Mrs. Wu, there is a saying, I am not afraid of you laughing at me, I would rather my daughter never get married, and I don’t want my daughter to marry, there is something bad about it.”
This was already a clear refusal. Aunt Sun lowered her head and thought for a while, then she raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Tang: "In that case, I can't force it, but there is one more thing, can Mrs. Tang answer me? Mrs. Tang also met my younger brother, who praised him repeatedly at the beginning, and my younger brother, who has been doing business in the capital for several years, why did Mrs. Tang believe the rumors at this time? ?”
The mother-in-law had already come over with tea, and Mrs. Tang sighed softly: "Mrs. Wu, I know you love my younger brother, but you have been married for a long time, and there are some things that even your younger brother might not tell you. This is one of them. Second, when I came to the banquet today, I heard Mrs. Zhu complain a lot about her son being lured to do some shady things recently. Mrs. Zhu also said that although her son believed others, she called him again. I have scolded the people who followed me, but this is fine, why did such a thing happen?"
The mother-in-law has already come to the front, and Aunt Sun's face has become very ugly. How can Aunt Sun not understand the meaning of Mrs. Tang's words? She suspects that the Sun family has a grudge and is looking for someone to lure the son of the Zhu family. That's how these things happen.But Aunt Sun knows her younger brother. It is certain that Uncle Sun will steal the Zhu family's business, but Uncle Sun can't do it at all, and he is not willing to do it. .
So Aunt Sun didn't reach for the teacup, but just sneered at Mrs. Tang: "Will Mrs. Tang believe it if you talk about it without evidence?"
Mrs. Tang blushed slightly and said, "Mrs. Zhu will never speak ill of her son."
"Of course Mrs. Zhu won't speak ill of her son-in-law, but Mrs. Tang, the capital is so big and full of local hooligans, how can Mrs. Tang be sure that it was my family who did the trick?" Aunt Sun said. Hearing this, she became very angry, and Mrs. Tang hurriedly stood up and said, "Mrs. Wu, I didn't say that my younger brother did this. Why did you get so angry? Mrs. Wu, it's not easy to force marriage matters." Well, just before they came here, they also told me that the horoscope is only in between, and they are not a good couple. I was still hesitating at first, but since this is the case, Mrs. Wu, I will let go of this marriage. I will have someone send back my younger brother's post. If my younger brother is so young and beautiful, I will definitely find someone better."
Saying that, Mrs. Tang left, and the mother-in-law stood there holding the cup of tea, not daring to speak or leave, but just looking at Aunt Sun, Aunt Sun suddenly smiled: "That's all, that's all, why are you so angry?" In this life, what kind of person can’t see?” As she spoke, Aunt Sun reached out and picked up the cup of tea, drank it dry in one gulp, then put down the cup, and said to the mother-in-law, “Support me and your grandma. Grandma and aunt said, I have something to do suddenly and I have to go home."
The mother-in-law hurriedly responded, Aunt Sun left in a hurry, and Mrs. Tang returned to the banquet, but she did not see Aunt Sun, everyone was very curious. Mrs. Tang had already smiled at Xia Jingui and said: "There is something small at home suddenly, please leave It's time." The guest wanted to leave, and Xia Jingui couldn't force him to stay, so he got up to see Mrs. Tang off, but the woman came back just as she walked to the door, and Xia Jingui frowned slightly when she heard Aunt Sun leave without saying goodbye, but she didn't say anything. Send Mrs. Tang out for anything.
"Today's matter looks really strange." Both Tang and Sun left in a hurry, and naturally there were people discussing it.Mrs. Wei was also very curious, but the master was always reluctant to speak, so he could only look at the crowd.A smile appeared on Mrs. Zhu's lips, she didn't expect to come to Xia's house and see a good show, today's trip was not in vain.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Zhu picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.Everyone discussed for a while, seeing Xia Jingui came back, some people also asked if they saw Aunt Sun?Naturally, Xia Jingui didn't see him, so he interrupted the conversation with other words, and the Xia family's banquet continued.
On the other side, Aunt Sun has already arrived at Sun's house in a hurry. When Uncle Sun heard that his sister was back, he rushed out to welcome her. Seeing her face full of frost, Uncle Sun was even more surprised: "Sister, what's the matter with you? Didn't you say that you are going today?" Is the Xia family going to the banquet? Could it be that the aunt of the Xia family was impolite in etiquette and offended you, sister, I said, such a person should not have more contact!"
Aunt Sun slapped the table suddenly: "It's not her who is angry with me, it's you! Tell me honestly, do you know about these rumors outside?" Uncle Sun was surprised at first, then laughed: "How old am I? Something, it turned out to be those rumors. Sister, let me tell you, can you believe the words of outsiders? Your deceased siblings and I were..."
☆, bow your head
"It's not this!" Aunt Sun patted the table again, and said with a sneer, "This time, it's strange that someone said that the son of the Zhu family was lured into doing those shady things, and someone said that it was you who instigated it. "The rumors will evolve into variants?Uncle Sun blinked: "Sister, would you trust me to do these things?"
"Of course I don't believe it, but I can't stop outsiders from believing it!" Aunt Sun also knew that her younger brother would not do such a thing, but she couldn't help but sigh: "I also know your temper, do you believe in life?" I'm not afraid, but how many people in this world can truly understand this sentence? I told you earlier that if there are some entertainments, you should go if you have to go, and if you have something to say, you should say it, but you I always don't believe it, but now, such a big thing happened."
"Sister, this is invisible and unfounded. Even if it is rumored to be crazy, what does it have to do with me?" After a brief surprise, Uncle Sun returned to normal, sitting in front of Aunt Sun, Serious explanation.Aunt Sun looked up at her younger brother, shook her head and sighed, "You really think it's nothing to do with it? Originally, the Tang family had already agreed to the marriage, but now Mrs. Tang said that they were married, but they decided not to agree. This marriage is over. Brother, this matter seems to be a small matter, but it has far-reaching effects. I know that you have never taken these things seriously. Naturally, you are a man with great ambitions. You shouldn't have taken care of the affairs here, but everyone speaks for themselves."
Uncle Sun was reprimanded by Aunt Sun and his head was bowed, and he dared not speak.Aunt Sun sighed: "But the mouths of the world can say this or that. After all, I have to help you settle this matter."
"Sister, what's the end?" Seeing her brother's innocent face, Aunt Sun sighed even louder: "You, go and find out the person who seduced the Zhu family, find a charge, and hand it over to the Zhu family. From then on, we The two families can let go of their knots and let's go together again..."
"No!" Aunt Sun was stunned by Uncle Sun's words and looked at her younger brother: "Why not? It's just a little..."
"Small matter, small matter, everyone of you told me it was a small matter. The third brother and Miss Zhu have been engaged since childhood. When Zhu's family returned to the capital, it was because of our in-laws' sake that we were helpful to them. What about now? When the family regained their vitality, they wanted to climb high and looked down on our family. Taking advantage of the third brother's minor illness, he took the opportunity to divorce. Sister, you also know that the third brother's illness was not that serious in the first place. " Uncle Sun's words were full of anger, and Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment before sighing: "Of course I feel sorry for Third Brother, but Brother, in this world, people always have to..."
"Always be more friendly. In business, you have to be both right and left to do well. I can hear these words from the cocoon." Uncle Sun's voice became softer, but his tone was still dissatisfied. .Aunt Sun sighed softly: "So what? The Zhu family has climbed a high branch, let alone a short while, even if they spend their entire lives, it may be difficult to catch up."
Uncle Sun's hands were already clenched into fists, and Aunt Sun's voice was choked with sobs: "I know, this knot in your heart will never be untied. Brother, even if I beg you, just end this matter , otherwise your marriage with the third brother is not in harmony, how can I have the face to go to see my parents, what face do I have, and wait for you and the third brother to have children so that the second brother can continue the heir. Brother, I ..."
Tears rolled down Auntie Sun's eyes as she spoke, and her voice became incoherent, covering her face with a handkerchief. Seeing that Auntie Sun was so sad, Uncle Sun stepped forward to hold Auntie Sun on her shoulder: "Sister, I understand what you mean. This matter is over. No matter what happens to the Zhu family, others will not get involved in our family. It's just that my sister, a villain like the Zhu family, wants to pretend to be a good person. In my heart, Dissatisfied!"
"Don't accept?" Aunt Sun looked up at her younger brother: "What can you do if you don't accept? Even if you rob a few businesses, the Zhu family will take advantage of the power of the current in-laws, and it will not be easy to snatch them back. This will You don’t have any relatives in your family, can you stop Mrs. Zhu from complaining on the table, but she is actually poisoning you? You, don’t take women’s words to heart all day long. Sometimes, women If you want to be vicious, you will be more vicious than anyone else."
"Sister is not such a vicious person." Aunt Sun laughed at Uncle Sun's words, glared at her brother a few times, and said, "It's better to coax me now, and I know, I want you to do this." It's hard for you. If you don't want to, I'll let your brother-in-law do it. "
"Sister, I..." Uncle Sun still wanted to stop him, but Aunt Sun said to him softly, "You, since you were young, you felt that you could protect everyone, but that's not the case. Your brother-in-law is also with Zhu The family has business contacts, so it is not difficult to find the person who seduced the young master of the Zhu family. Besides, the people who want to see you fighting with the Zhu family are not one or two families, could it be that they have been granted in vain?"
"Sister taught me a lesson!" Uncle Sun said this again to Aunt Sun, who had already waved her hand: "Forget it, nothing, it doesn't sound like you said it from the heart. Brother, I live a day, I can help you for a day, but this person has misfortunes and blessings, and you have such a temper that you can't tolerate others bullying your family, but sometimes, you have to bow your head when you should bow your head. This is one or two. I like Miss Tang. It is because she has a gentle temperament and can help persuade you. Brother, being strong is a good thing, but being strong is easy to break."
Uncle Sun lowered his head, and answered in a low voice. Aunt Sun looked at her younger brother, sighed softly, and suddenly said outside: "Sir brother, how long have you been hiding there, come in quickly." Then he came in along the wall, bowed to Aunt Sun and said eagerly: "Eldest sister, don't blame elder brother, elder brother loves me as a younger brother. In fact, although Miss Zhu has been engaged to me since childhood, the two of us I don’t care if I marry her or not, I only blame myself for being incompetent and not studying hard, which is why I let the Zhu family down.”
Speaking of which, Third Master Sun turned to Uncle Sun: "Brother, don't worry about the Zhu family's affairs. Marriage is always..."
"Okay, don't take turns talking about me." Uncle Sun took a deep breath and said to Aunt Sun: "I don't want my brother-in-law to come forward in this matter, so let me do so." With joy on his face, Third Master Sun looked even more embarrassed: "Brother, you..."
Uncle Sun waved his hands: "Stop talking, third brother, I also know that if I want to protect this family, I only hate that I am not capable enough, so people will bully me. I am the head of the family, and whoever bullies comes, only I'll suffer, there's no reason to let others suffer." Aunt Sun's eyes gleamed with tears again, but she didn't say what she wanted to say.
Uncle Sun also sighed. There are some things that I still think about simply. What's the use of Zhu's family relying on such a big tree, even if they grab a few business deals?And Mr. Zhu's so-called being seduced by others, I'm afraid the Zhu family took the opportunity to say it, so as to take the opportunity to step on their own family.What I hate is that even if I know the Zhu family's conspiracy, I have to bow my head for the sake of my family.
A few days later, Uncle Sun really kidnapped a few ruffian-like people to Zhu's house, saying that he had found out who was behind it, and said that these things are not unusual in the capital.When Mr. Zhu saw Uncle Sun coming to the door like this, he couldn't pretend not to see him, so he came out to receive him in person, then called Mr. Zhu over, and scolded him in front of him. Mr. Zhu also expressed that he would change his past and never be tempted again.
Master Zhu invited Uncle Sun to drink a few more glasses of wine, and the two parties were amicable at the table, and they revealed the incident after regretting the marriage.
Mrs. Wei knew about such a big gossip immediately, and she also found Xia Jingui to tell her about it immediately.Xia Jingui didn't expect that Uncle Sun would do something like this again, so he tied him up and told the Zhu family clearly that he didn't do this. This person is not stupid.But when he thought that this person was a straight male cancer, Xia Jingui was not interested, and after talking with Mrs. Wei for a while, he was about to leave.
Just as Mrs. Wei was about to go out, she suddenly remembered something: "Sister, there is one more thing, I don't want to tell you." It's not easy to tell her, I'm afraid it's about the Xue family. He should be beheaded too, thinking that he is a spoiled young master who beat someone to death on the spot in Jinling back then, because of his good relatives, there was nothing wrong with him.Now that he has come to this end, I don't know what is he thinking in his heart?Are you still queering over there?
"Sister, the person from Xue's family was stabbed yesterday, and my mother-in-law asked me to ask you. After all, she is a relative. She is going to Xue's family to express her condolences and ask sister, do you want her to go?" After Xia Jingui returned to Xia's house, Mrs. Xia recognized the situation. In this family, it was her daughter and daughter-in-law who had the final say, and she only needed to enjoy it.Now that I'm going to Xue's house, Mrs. Xia will of course ask her daughter.
Xia Jingui was just about to talk about what he was going to do, when he suddenly remembered that Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xue were still sister-in-law. This ancient relationship was also so intertwined.Xia Jingui pondered for a while and said: "Mother can decide on her own, after all, he is also her cousin."
Mrs. Wei told Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia was troubled: "It's up to me, I just don't know whether to go or not. If I don't go, I really don't have a family. If I go, Jingui and them at that time I don’t know why they gave me cold face after making such a fuss.”
☆, end
"Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about this. Since you are going, they won't kick you out. It's just for a while, not for a long time." Mrs. Wei's reassurance didn't help at all, and Mrs. Xia became even more worried. The ostensible reason was that Mrs. Wei was a relative of her natal family after all, but the hidden reason was that Mrs. Xia also wanted to make another settlement on behalf of Xia Jingui, and see for herself how the Xue family was doing now.But of course, Mrs. Xia would not tell Xia Jingui the secret reason.
Xia Jingui didn't know what Mrs. Xia meant. Anyway, he had never met Xue Pan, so whether he lived or died, it had nothing to do with him.It's a pity that Xiangling, Xia Jingui sighed when thinking of Xiangling.I followed Xiangling and thought of Xue Baochai. Now Jia's mansion has been raided, Yingchun is dead, Jia She and his son have been exiled, and Jia Zhen also went to serve in the army. Jia Zheng is the only one left in Jia's mansion. As for Baoyu, this piece of jade with a history of calamity will eventually leave the mundane world.
I don't know Xue Baochai, is it... Then Xia Jingui laughed. Xue Baochai, who was regarded as a lady of everyone, would have her peaceful days. As I said, the dignity of the ladies and ladies can last a lifetime if they are sold.
Xia Jingui thought about it there, and Mrs. Xia finally decided to go to Xue's house. Anyway, Xue's family is also poor at the moment.Mrs. Xia also took her mother-in-law, Baochan followed, and got into the car to go to Xue's house.Jia's mansion was raided, Xue's family naturally moved out from Rongguo's mansion, and all the original houses in Beijing were sold off to save Xue Pan.
The Xue family is renting a house outside at the moment. Xue Biao, his wife, Aunt Xue Xiangling and the child live together with the few remaining servant girls.When Baochan got out of the car, he frowned slightly. He never thought that the current situation of the Xue family was not much better than that of the Xia family.
Xue Pan is a prisoner on death row, and he is not allowed to stay at home. There is only a white flag hanging on the door, which is not a pair, but there is nothing else.
Baochan helped Mrs. Xia get out of the car. Mrs. Xia looked at the door with a look of disbelief: "This, it's really..." Baochan naturally wouldn't say what was in his heart. When Xia Jingui first married into Xue's family, What was the situation of the Xue family then, and what is the situation now.It's really life and death.
The mother-in-law had already said to Mrs. Xia: "Ma'am, this is here. That's right. I asked four or five times." As she said that, the mother-in-law knocked on the door. He just opened it from the inside, and Xue Biao walked out from the inside. He didn't notice anyone at the door, and he told the inside of the door: "You have to persuade your aunt and sister-in-law more to make her cry less."
Xing Xiuyan's voice came from inside the door: "Go to hell, this matter is over, and the aunt is at ease." Xue Biao turned around after speaking, and saw
