Xia Jingui of the Red Chamber

Xia Jingui didn't take it seriously, and walked inside. Uncle Sun heard that there seemed to be other meanings in the shopkeeper's words, and looked at the shopkeeper with a frown. Said, this place is inside the store, no one comes, don't worry!"

No one is coming, don't worry?This sentence made Xia Jingui feel that something was wrong. He stopped and looked at the shopkeeper. Uncle Sun could hear the meaning of the shopkeeper's words better, and his eyebrows were furrowed in anger.Seeing that their expressions had changed, the shopkeeper was still wondering if he had said something wrong.Xia Jingui had already sneered at Uncle Sun: "The shopkeeper in your shop, how do you talk?"

As soon as the shopkeeper asked this question, the shopkeeper knew that he would be wrong, so he hurriedly said to Xia Jingui, "Grandma Xia, please listen to my explanation..." How could Xia Jingui be willing to listen to the shopkeeper's explanation? She still looked at Uncle Sun and raised her voice: "Uncle Sun , I thought you were an upright gentleman, but now I realize that it's not the same thing."

Uncle Sun didn't expect that he would not be able to ridicule him, but instead angered Xia Jingui, he replied in a hurry: "Aren't you asking someone to come to my house today to propose marriage?"

It's fine if Uncle Sun didn't say this, but once he said this, Xia Jingui grew furious from his guts, and sneered at Uncle Sun, "It turns out that Uncle Sun looked at me like this, thinking that the marriage proposal would not work, so now he is targeting you, Uncle Sun Are you here? Uncle Sun, you also have a mirror here. If you look at yourself in the mirror, is it very handsome, or is this family rich and wealthy? Or do you have any good relatives at home who can be relied on? Shaking half the city?"

Uncle Sun had already experienced Xia Jingui's eloquence, and now that she was speaking out loudly, Uncle Sun wanted to defend himself, how could Xia Jingui tolerate him, and turned to the shopkeeper: "I'm just because of Xia Jingui The two families also have friendship, thinking about the nearby shops, we don’t know about it, so I wanted to ask for advice, but you two thought I had something else on my mind. You also misunderstood Aunt Xia.”

Seeing that Uncle Sun couldn't utter a single word Xia Jingui said, the shopkeeper only said to Xia Jingui repeatedly: "Grandma Xia, I misunderstood it all, you..."

Xia Jingui's voice just now was a little louder, and a few of the guys had already poked their heads out from the screen to look at them. The shopkeeper rushed forward, and Xia Jingui had already said to Uncle Sun: "It's my mother's idea to propose marriage, I don't want to Yes, since I didn't agree here, it's just right. Uncle Sun, from now on, let alone your family's banquet, even your family's shop, I have to stay far away, so as not to be misunderstood again at some point .I’m innocent and alone, I’ve already earned the reputation of being a shrew, and I can’t bear another reputation!”

Saying that, Xia Jingui threw off his sleeves and walked out of the screen angrily. Uncle Sun was stunned for a moment, trying to catch up and explain. Seeing Uncle Sun chasing him out of the screen, those guys all stood with their hands down, as if nothing had happened.Xia Jingui had ordered her mother-in-law to walk out of the shop, got into the carriage and left.

Uncle Sun stood at the door of the store and watched Xia Jingui's carriage leave, his brows could not help but frown.The shopkeeper leaned over to Uncle Sun's side: "Boss, it's my fault, it's all my fault..."

"It's none of your business, I knew that nothing good will happen when I meet her, I should just sit inside and read the accounts, and I won't cause such a misunderstanding." Uncle Sun's words were very annoyed, and the shopkeeper responded repeatedly. yes.Uncle Sun then said to himself: "However, that's good too. After talking about it, it's also a good thing that I will never see this Aunt Xia again."

The shopkeeper was still on the sidelines, so he walked into a young boy, saw Uncle Sun and stepped forward and said, "Greetings to Uncle, our wife said, I don't know what snuff from the West that Uncle promised our wife last time, it has arrived." No, if it arrives, order the younger one to come and pick it up."

Seeing that it was a servant of the Wu family, Uncle Sun ordered the snuff to be taken out and handed over to Aunt Sun.I continued to look at the rest of the accounts, and the shopkeeper did not forget to tell the buddies, but these words must not be spread, otherwise it will be bad for anyone's reputation.

The servant of the Wu family took the snuff and handed it to the lady in the house, and said by the way, when I went to the shop, it seemed that something happened just now, and the guys were talking about it, but the shopkeeper quickly said, no Talk about it again, and whoever dares to talk about it will pay for it.

The mother-in-law heard this, and when she gave the snuff to Aunt Sun at night, she casually told Aunt Sun about this as an interesting story.Aunt Sun kept it in her heart, knowing that she had to ask the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper would never answer, so she decided to ask Uncle Sun again when her younger brother came.

Uncle Sun also often came to his brother-in-law's house. One day a matchmaker said that he had found another girl from another family. She was eighteen this year and was not engaged because of her mother's filial piety.Aunt Sun asked clearly, and felt that this girl sounded good for her younger brother, so she ordered someone to invite Uncle Sun.

Uncle Sun arrived at Wu's house, and when he heard that he was going to propose a marriage for himself again, his brows were frowned: "It's been said several times, and it doesn't work every time. Forget it, sister should find a suitable room for third brother first." daughter-in-law."

"It's always better if the eldest sister-in-law is the first to get started. Don't you want me, a married sister, to go back to her mother's house to marry you? If it gets out, people don't know how to laugh at us." The eldest sister is like a mother, so Uncle Sun can only obediently listen to his sister's lectures.

Seeing that Uncle Sun seemed to be a little distracted, Aunt Sun remembered what she heard from her mother-in-law that day, and asked her younger brother with a smile: "There is something I wanted to ask you. When I sent people to look for snuff that day, I heard that there was a It seems that something happened, the shopkeeper didn’t let the guys talk about it, tell me honestly, what is it?”

Unexpectedly, Aunt Sun and Grandma Sun already knew about it, so he hesitated before saying, "It's just a trivial matter, which affects other people's reputation, so no one is allowed to talk about it." These words were more convincing than others, but not Aunt Sun's grandma, she just oh He called someone, and went to the shop to invite the shopkeeper.

Uncle Sun hurriedly stopped: "It's just a small matter, sister should not pursue it."

"It's about you, how can there be a small matter?" Aunt Sun's face darkened, and then she said to Uncle Sun earnestly: "I'm worried that you're in this house, and I'm used to being the only one. How can I see my parents when the city is full of wind and rain?" Uncle Sun had already stood up: "Sister, don't you believe me, besides, I even..."

"Even if you are sixty this year, you are still a child in front of me." Aunt Sun said to my brother very rudely, and Uncle Sun could only shut up obediently.The shopkeeper had already arrived, and seeing Uncle Sun sitting next to him, the shopkeeper was very suspicious, Aunt Sun had already said: "Tell me what happened in the shop that day, tell me honestly, nothing can happen Keep it secret, otherwise if you can afford it buddy, I can also afford it for you."

As soon as Aunt Sun said this, the shopkeeper dared not hide anything, and told Aunt Sun everything that happened that day.After hearing this, Aunt Sun looked at her younger brother in surprise: "What's going on with you and Aunt Xia?"

"What's the matter? Sister, it's not like you don't know me, how can I have a crush on her?" Uncle Sun tried his best to defend, but Aunt Sun's grandmother looked disbelieving.

The shopkeeper had already interjected: "Accordingly, we shouldn't ask too much about the boss's affairs, but it seems that the boss didn't treat this aunt Xia very well..."

"Shut up, can't I afford you?" Uncle Sun stopped the shopkeeper, who shut up and stood up. Aunt Sun looked at Uncle Sun who was blushing, feeling both surprised and suspicious.In terms of Xia Jingui's character and appearance, Aunt Sun actually likes it very much, but Xia Jingui is a person who was divorced by her husband's family, and her reputation in her husband's family was not very good before. Days are worse than now.

In this capital, there are many people who have been friends for several lifetimes, so naturally they value reputation more. When the matchmakers said it that day, Aunt Sun just opened her mouth and said no, because of this.Now that I heard that my younger brother might have secretly communicated with Xia Jingui, how could Aunt Sun be surprised?The doubt is that my younger brother Ruozhen has something with Xia Jingui, why did he say that to himself that day?

But soon Aunt Sun thought of another aspect, maybe it was a fake dismissal, if this is the case, her brother really has to teach her a lesson.So Aunt Sun asked the shopkeeper to go back, and turned to look at Uncle Sun with displeasure on her face: "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"

"What's going on? Sister, it's just a chance encounter, and then the shopkeeper misunderstood. Grandma Xia is fierce and..."

Aunt Sun slapped on the table, Uncle Sun was interrupted, looked at Aunt Sun and wanted to ask, but Aunt Sun stood up and said, "You didn't tell me the truth, you are a nice person, why don't other shops Run, I happened to go to our shop, this is one, two, why were you in the shop when she came? Three, you sent the things they picked that day to their home without collecting money. "

"I'm not..." Uncle Sun still wanted to defend himself, but Aunt Sun was so angry that she shed tears: "You are going to piss me off!"

"Sister, I'm not mad at you." Seeing Aunt Sun's tears, Uncle Sun hurriedly stood up to comfort her, but Aunt Sun pushed her brother aside: "Don't coax me with sweet words right now. Let me ask you , if you really have something to do with her and you don't want to tell me, you think you dislike her, so why are you going to hook up with her again? Could it be that my younger brother is such a prostitute?"

When Uncle Sun heard this, he hurriedly knelt down to Aunt Sun: "Sister, I can swear to God, there is nothing wrong with this!"

☆, you're welcome

"You, you..." Aunt Sun coughed angrily when she saw her younger brother knelt down, and she didn't finish her words. Uncle Sun took two steps on his knees, stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Aunt Sun's skirt: "Sister , doesn’t your own younger brother believe it?” Aunt Sun looked down at Uncle Sun, and saw Uncle Sun’s face full of distress and anxiety.

Aunt Sun's tears rolled down again: "I should have believed you, but the shopkeeper was by the side that day, and he could hear you clearly. If you really don't have any thoughts in your heart, how can you behave well, lift the curtain and go out to talk to people?" ? Later people left, you are not upset? Tell me!"

"Sister, I wanted to go out and taunt her that day, who knows..."

"Then why aren't you annoyed? Why don't I understand your temper? As for the third brother, you are so annoyed at the Zhu family. Why aren't you annoyed when you are being questioned face to face?" Aunt Sun After questioning, Uncle Sun couldn't help being wronged: "Isn't it, it's not easy to argue with a woman?"

Aunt Sun snorted coldly, with a look of disbelief.Seeing that his sister didn't believe it, Uncle Sun continued to kneel there with his head bowed.The mother-in-law had already walked in to think about the matter, and seeing Uncle Sun kneeling there, she didn't dare to go forward, but just stood by with her hands down.Aunt Sun had already seen it, and said sharply, "What's the matter?"

"Back to Madam, Matchmaker Zhu is here, and she is talking about the incident last time." The mother-in-law said with an apologetic smile. Aunt Sun gave Uncle Sun a hard look, and then said to the mother-in-law: "Go back She just said that I have something to do and went out." The mother-in-law should have left.Aunt Sun looked at Uncle Sun who was kneeling on the ground, and stood up: "You don't have to kneel here to pretend, first ask yourself what you think in your heart."

"Sister, I'm not pretending, I swear to God, I don't have any other thoughts about Grandma Nana Xia." Uncle Sun still had an aggrieved face.Aunt Sun sneered: "You don't have to swear. If I don't know about this, then I'll pretend it didn't happen. Now that I know about it, I'm going to ask Grandma Xia."

ask her?Uncle Sun looked at his sister even more puzzled, and Aunt Sun gouged out her younger brother's eyes again: "Your marriage last time was just because of rumors, so you just let it go, now you are going to discuss marriage again, if What rumors have spread between Grandma Xia and Aunt Xia, you can think about it, who else is willing to marry you?"

Uncle Sun lowered his head, not daring to ask any more questions, Aunt Sun sighed: "Furthermore, that's all, is it true that our Sun family really wants to marry such a person?"

"Sister, I really have nothing to do with that Aunt Xia."

"It's nothing real or it's nothing, wait for me to ask." Aunt Sun rolled up her sleeves and shouted for someone to come. The mother-in-law came in and obeyed. Aunt Sun told her to prepare the car: "The weather is fine today. , I want to go out for a walk, you go to Xia's house and post a post, saying that I want to visit."

The mother-in-law should have left, so Uncle Sun stood up and said, "Sister, are you really going? Let me tell you the truth, there is no news outside right now, so why do you need to give her face and ask... "

"How long will you be duplicity?" Uncle Sun's words made Aunt Sun very dissatisfied, she rolled her eyes at her younger brother and said, "There are certain things that can only be said between us women."

"Sister, don't look down on me too much. I'm handsome anyway. Maybe Grandma Xia wants to marry me a long time ago!" Uncle Sun felt that he had lost too much face today, so he had to get it back anyway, Uncle Sun The aunt couldn't help sneering: "Let's talk about it later, you, what should I say about you?"

The mother-in-law has already come in to report that the car is ready, Aunt Sun tidied it up, and went out to get in the car to Xia's house.

Of course, Xia Jingui didn't know how the conversation between himself and Uncle Sun was made up by the shopkeeper after meeting Uncle Sun in his shop that day, and then told Aunt Sun exactly what he had said.At this moment, she is discussing with Mrs. Wei how to connect the relationship in the palace again.Jia's mansion has already collapsed, so naturally we can't start with Jia's mansion. If we want to go again now, we can only use the name of Xia's family, and we must not mention the word Jia.

"The eunuchs in this palace have a lot of birthdays." Xia Jingui found out that Dai Quan was going to have a birthday, and discussed with Mrs. Wei what gifts to give him. The most important thing is that the other party can remember. live.After all, it was the birthday of the powerful eunuch, and they would not take those valuables very seriously.

"I don't know. Besides, even if something is very precious in our eyes, it may be ordinary in their eyes." Mrs. Wei was also in a dilemma. The two discussed several things, but they were rejected one by one.While discussing, Xia Jingui's eyes lit up when he heard that Aunt Sun was coming to visit: "Their family also has contacts with the palace, so I just asked her for advice."

Mrs. Wei also thinks this is a good idea, and there is another advantage, the products of the two companies are different, and there is no suspicion of grabbing business.

When Mrs. Xia heard that Aunt Sun was visiting, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she thought that perhaps because the two sides had a close relationship, visits between female relatives were also common.So Mrs. Xia hurriedly ordered the kitchen to make two new snacks, and then took out the good jasmine slices, ready to entertain guests.They asked people to tidy up the main room again, and then they heard that the guests had arrived.Mrs. Xia hurriedly asked Xia Jingui and Mrs. Wei to come to the gate to welcome Aunt Sun.

Aunt Sun had already thought about what she wanted to say to Xia Jingui several times along the way, and when she arrived at the gate of Xia's house, seeing that all the Xia family members came out to greet her, Aunt Sun put on a smile and exchanged greetings with Mrs. Xia , into the hall.

Mrs. Xia asked Aunt Sun to sit on the kang, and she asked Aunt Sun to serve some refreshments, and said to Aunt Sun: "Our family is not as good as before, and there is no good tea or fruit. Mrs. Wu doesn't mind, just quench your thirst." Aunt Sun came here, and it wasn't for me to drink tea and snacks. She took a sip of tea from the teacup, picked up a few melon seeds and kowtowed a few, then smiled at Mrs. Xia, "To tell you the truth, I Today, I came to see my aunt in the house and wanted to talk to her, and I don't know you..."

"Our two families are so close now. If there is anything you can't say, my daughter, please invite Mrs. Wu to your room." Xia Jingui was also there thinking about how to ask Aunt Sun's question, when she heard Aunt Sun Xia Jingui was quite surprised when he said he wanted to talk to him, but he still stood up and asked Aunt Sun to go to his room.

In Xia Jingui's room, the window is facing the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. It is a small suite, where people can sit outside and people live inside.Because it's really not big, Xia Jingui didn't ask someone to use a wall to separate it, but only found a screen. When it is opened, the inside and outside are separated, and when it is closed, the inside and outside are connected.

Xia Jingui asked Aunt Sun to sit down by the window, and poured tea by herself at the table. Aunt Sun opened the window and saw the osmanthus tree flourishing, and said with a smile, "No wonder you live here. took your name."

"When I was young, I thought others were bullying me by being called Osmanthus fragrans, and I did a lot of things. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous." Xia Jingui said with a smile, and handed the tea to Aunt Sun, who took it She didn't drink the tea, but looked at Xia Jingui. Although Xia Jingui was married once, she was only in her early twenties. She was born beautiful and lived comfortably in the Xia family. The hostility and frivolity in her has long since disappeared, replaced by a soft feeling.

Xia Jingui was a little surprised by Aunt Sun's sizing up. This sizing up was really rude.Ordinarily, Aunt Sun would not be like this.Xia Jingui was still suspicious. Aunt Sun had already suppressed the sighs of those who were divorced by her husband's family. A widow was better than a divorced person. Then she said to Xia Jingui: "I'm here today. Come, I want to ask you something."

Xia Jingui also just said: "I was also going to ask Mrs. Wu for advice." The two spoke at the same time, stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.Aunt Sun couldn't help but relax with a smile: "You are the host and I am the guest, you should ask first."

"Then I won't be polite." Xia Jingui asked what she had just discussed with Mrs. Wei, and Aunt Sun was surprised: "So that's what you asked, I thought..."

"Mrs. Wu thought, what am I going to ask?" Xia Jingui heard the uncertainty in Aunt Sun's words, so she naturally wanted to ask.Aunt Sun couldn't help but tapped lightly on the chair before she said to Xia Jingui, "Actually, I want to ask about you and my brother!"

Aunt Sun's words were hesitant, and Xia Jingui thought she had heard it wrong. After listening to it, she frowned and looked at Aunt Sun's grandma: "I don't understand this. Brother Ling and I don't have any more contacts. Besides, you and Brother Ling Be more intimate, if you have anything, you can ask him, it is better than asking me."

There was dissatisfaction in Xia Jingui's words, of course Aunt Sun heard it, and hurriedly took Xia Jingui's hand and said, "Don't be angry, because when I asked him, he swore to God that it was all misunderstood by the shopkeeper. I didn't have any other ideas, and said..."

"Mrs. Wu, don't worry, in the eyes of others, my younger brother is naturally a good son-in-law, but in my opinion, he is just..." Xia Jingui was about to say the word "straight male cancer" again, and hurriedly stopped and changed his words: "Anyway, he won't be my beloved, and I won't think about him. That day my mother went to a matchmaker to talk about marriage. I even told my mother that the two are not a good match. You can rest assured."

It stands to reason that Aunt Sun should feel at ease when she said this, but Aunt Sun still looked at Xia Jingui: "Although I said so, but..."

Hey, I really don't know what the ancients thought. Seeing the two people say a few more words, I thought there must be something. I couldn't listen to my own explanation.Xia Jingui complained in his heart before saying, "Auntie Sun thinks, what do I have in mind for Brother Ling?"
