Fair Lady

Shuqing got into the carriage happily, with a relaxed smile on her brows and eyes.

Adai was very puzzled, with a hint of resentment: "Miss Yao is so arrogant, why should she accommodate her like this? Even if she has a backer, our aunt is also the most favored wife in the Duke's Mansion, and she still loves her so much." girl."

Mother Lu frowned, but she didn't speak. She wanted to hear what her daughter had to say.

Shu Qing also frowned slightly: "Sister Yao'er is only under seven years old, how can she know how to be arrogant? As a cousin, I am older than her, so naturally I have to love her more and tolerate her more. Also, the right and wrong of the Duke's Mansion Is it something you can say nonsense? Misfortune comes out of your mouth, what troubles have caused it, don’t say that I can’t protect you, or that I will be dragged down by you. "

A Dai's face turned pale: "Yes, girl, this servant realizes his mistake."

Mother Lu nodded in satisfaction. The girl is her reliance for the rest of her life. If she is shallow-sighted and brainless like Zhou, she will have no hope.

On the way Shujie and the others came back, Laifu frowned tightly, with a sad look on his face.The neighbors I met along the way didn't even dare to say hello to him, muttering "What's wrong with Laifu?", "Is there something wrong with that shameless scholar lady?"

What everyone didn't know was that when Laifu turned around and entered Xia's courtyard, when he saw Mrs. Ajuan sitting in the hall talking to Mother Liu, his face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny, and put on a relieved smile: "Mr. The head of the bodyguard promised Master Jie to help me with this."

Sister-in-law Ajuan looked at Shujie embarrassedly: "Brother Jie, I want you to worry about such nasty things. Really, really..." When she married to Xitang Street, Shujie was only eleven or twelve years old. She said that she watched Shujie grow up, and now that their family has attracted a lot of love, Shujie, a half-old child, helped out with ideas, and even asked the head of the bodyguard to help them, isn't it embarrassing?

Besides, Mrs. Ajuan is also smart.It can be seen that Mama Liu is a well-behaved "upper class person", and she was entrusted by that Mr. Jin to take care of Shuyao's three brothers and sisters. If her family and Xia's family hadn't always been close, she would definitely not let Shujie get involved. and my own matter.

Shujie smiled and waved his hands: "Sister-in-law Ajuan, don't be too ignorant, which one hasn't needed help from the neighbors? You and Brother Laifu have helped us a lot on weekdays."

Sister-in-law Ajuan is no longer polite and wordy, just keep her affection in mind.There's no need to talk about it all the time, it's serious for her to put in more effort to manage Xia's tofu shop.

It happened that the eldest girl came in to announce that there was a New Year's presenter in Beijing, so Ajuan and Laifu hurriedly stood up and went back to their yard one after the other.

The three Shuyao brothers and sisters looked at each other strangely. The annual gifts sent by Uncle Jin and Aunt Lan arrived one after another half a month ago. Who is this?

out of the hall.A man dressed as a manager of a rich family came forward and presented a gift list with both hands.However, there was arrogance in his expression and tone: "Master Xia, this is an annual gift prepared by our second wife of An Guogong's mansion. It is the best brocade and leather." He really couldn't figure it out. It's not surprising that my natal family sends some New Year's gifts every year, but what's strange is that there is an extra gift this year.Or live on the streets of the common people living in poverty?The person in charge is still a half-child?

Shujie didn't bother to care about that person's attitude, so he just thanked him lightly.Mother Liu quickly prepared a gift in return.How could the steward not be surprised when he saw the full basket and the gift list in his hand?He was stunned in a daze.this……?Not only is there a gift in return (the Xia Mansion never returns a gift), but the gift is not too thin.He couldn't help putting away his contempt, which poor family always has these things?But... so confused!

Although most of the people living on Xitang Street are poor people, the Chinese New Year is still lively with laughter and crackling.As in previous years, those who migrated to Yulin Town from other places made their own hometown's unique "New Year's dishes" and "New Year's snacks", and happily brought a bowl of Xia's yard for the children to try.

In her previous life, Shuyao disdained these "poor people's things", but in this life, she tasted everything with great pleasure. My mother once said that food is a kind of culture, and through food, people can understand the customs and thoughts of people in different regions , Differences in habits.Giving food to each other is also a kind of heart-to-heart exchange. People like to befriend you, so they make food and snacks to share with you.

There were two sets of empty bowls and chopsticks on the Xia family's New Year's Eve dinner table, which were prepared for Xia Linxuan and Zhen Zirou.

Looking at the family members on the table: elder brother, younger brother, Aunt Mei, Xiutao, and mother Liu who is extra in this life.Shuyao was deeply moved, and there were tears in her eyes. In this life, she must protect this family well... She even thought, if she could be reborn a few months earlier?Parents will not die?She would certainly prevent Pa from going hunting that day.

Seeing his younger sister's teary-eyed look, Shujie felt uncomfortable, he really missed his parents!Every year at this time, mother is busy all day making a big table of favorite food for him and his younger siblings, and then father and mother look at the three of them with a smile and say that they will be smarter and healthier in the new year. Happy.

The past cannot be traced...

Now, he is the pillar and backbone of the family, and his younger siblings are his everything. He wants to take over the burden of his parents and take care of the family.Shujie raised the cup of soy milk in his hand: "Come on, Yao'er, Wen'er, let's toast Liu's mother and Aunt Mei first, thank them for their care."

Shuyao and Shuwen stood up, holding the cups in their small hands, and said after Shujie: "Mom, Aunt Mei, you have worked hard."

"Hey, hey," Liu's mother pressed the corners of her eyes with a cotton towel excitedly: "In this family, with you, mother is very happy and not hard."

Aunt Mei's eyes were also red: "Master, Miss, I'm really upset. In fact, you are the ones who took in our mother and daughter. Without you, Xiutao and I don't know what to do now."

Shujie said to his younger siblings again: "Yaoer, Wener, big brother wishes you to be smarter, healthier and happier in the new year!"

Listening to the familiar words, Shuyao and Shuwen put down the cups in their hands, and threw themselves into Shujie's arms together: "Brother---"

Shujie hugged his younger siblings tightly, and his voice was choked up: "We all want to be healthy and happy, so that our parents can rest assured that they are in heaven."

"En." Shuyao sister and brother nodded emphatically in Shujie's arms.

Shujie took his younger siblings to toast to the two empty seats again: "Father, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Yao'er and Wen'er, and we will all be fine."

……

The second day of the Lunar New Year was the day to go back to her natal home. Mrs. Ajuan took Ping An back to her natal home alone, but did not return to Xitang Street at night. It is said that she moved directly to the backyard of the Xiajia Tofu Shop. Some people said that they had already signed the letter of divorce. .

Laifu's frown became tighter and tighter, and the New Year's Eve didn't have any joy on his face.

The nephew of Liao Po on the street is also working in the Xinyi Escort.When I came to pay New Year greetings to A Liaopo, I whispered a news: because of the scandal with the scholar lady, Laifu was dismissed by the escort a few days ago, and Master Jie from the Xia family came to help and intercede but failed.

To make matters worse, during that period of time, Laifu was out of his mind all day, and even lost the objects that the guests asked for the darts, and had to pay 0 taels of silver.Now I only paid 50 taels, and I still owe 150 taels.

Alepo's eldest grandson immediately thought: Was he fired a few days ago?Could it be the time when Lai Fu and Master Jie went out together and came back together with a mournful face?This time, Fu was really hurt by the scholar's wife, his family broke up, he lost his coveted job, and he still owed a whole lot of debt!

soon.On Xitang Street and several streets before and after, there were people talking about Laifu's family and Mrs. Xiucai.There are people who are pure gossip, and there are people who take pleasure in other people's misfortune.But more of it is for the injustice of Laifu, scolding the talented lady.

People in the market have no spare money to have fun, so gossip has become a great pleasure.The east is the head of the house, the west is the short, the house in the south gave birth to a son, and the couple in the house in the north fight and fight in the middle of the night... chatting with each other and having a great time.Therefore, a little bit of news can be like growing wings.Passes fast.

Now it's the first month of the new year, and everyone hasn't gone out to work.There was a lot of time for chatting, and the news of Laifu's family reached the scholar lady as quickly as possible. She was so angry that she grabbed the broom on the kang and hit the man on the back of the man who was trying to gallop on top of her while telling her the news. : "It's all about you, it's good to be dependent on that stupid fool, and he still eats spicy food, what should we do now? Not to mention my reputation has been ruined, do you still want to help that fool pay off his debts? I don't care, I won't marry him to pay my debts, you have to buy me the fox fur collar cloak you promised me."

The man was stimulated even more crazy by the broom, and his big hand trampled on the big meatball on the chest of the scholar lady and rushed fiercely: "Little ****, do you have a good reputation? The bitch still wants to set up an archway?... But now that Laifu has nothing left, I really can't bear to let you marry him, and then I think it will be inconvenient for you to be an asshole."

The lady of Xiucai felt both pain and pleasure, screaming and screaming, and tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, but they disappeared soon...

After the man was full, he leaned on the kang with half-closed eyes, grabbed the scholar's bellyband and wiped it under his body casually. This little widow is so damn good, it's a pity to give it to Laifu that stupid wood. It's good to keep yourself cool from time to time.However, the money has been collected, how to complete the task?

For the first time, Laifu took the initiative to approach the door of a scholar lady, and proposed to her in front of the neighbors around the audience, expressing that since her innocence was ruined, she was willing to take responsibility, but now she owed some foreign debts, and the marriage was easy to handle. I will pay her for the money.

The scholar lady pointed at Lai Fu's nose and cursed: "Don't talk nonsense here, what ruined my innocence, we have done nothing. You are sleeping like a dead pig, what can we do?"

Laifu was "stunned": "You...you...didn't you say..."

"You, you, you, what are you?" The scholar lady put her waist on her waist, "You are a big man who fell asleep in my house, isn't it bad for my reputation? I'll tell you, Lin Laifu, get out of here. Never appear in front of my old lady, and don't piss to take care of yourself, just like you, still want to marry my old lady? Dreaming!"

Laifu closed his eyes in "pain" (he was afraid that he would be too excited to show his feet, so he closed his eyes as taught by his younger brother Qingfu): "We really don't...do not have that...that relationship?"

"Nonsense!" The talented woman glanced at him contemptuously, "It's just you? Do you want my old lady to pay for it? Dreaming? My old lady just sees you as stupid and wants you to raise our mother and daughter for nothing. It's just you This silly look, which allows you to see my flowery beauty every day, isn’t it cheap for you? Who knows that you can’t even catch a daughter-in-law who can make money, and you have lost your job and incurred so many debts. I want my mother to help you Pay off the debt, go to hell!"

There was a loud "boom" all around, "So that's how it is!" "This blessing is really wronged!" "This woman is really poisonous"...

"Go, go, what are you looking at?" The scholar woman waved her hand at the crowd and drove them away. The people in this poor place just hate it. Sooner or later, their mother and daughter will leave here to live a life of wealth.Thinking of her daughter's fresh and tender beauty and the charm she has trained, she feels that there is still hope in life, let's live on for a few more years!

At this time, Mrs. Ajuan, accompanied by Aunt Mei and Aunt Li, came out from behind the crowd: "Laifu, we're home, we're not getting along, and Ping An left you two candied haws."

Aunt Mei also said: "The chief steward of your Xinyi Escort is waiting for you at your house. He said that the missing item was found, and it was the client's own fault. The client returned all the money you paid for compensation, and the chief steward wants you to return The Fifth Escort Bureau is working."

Everyone congratulated Laifu in unison... The lady of Xiucai was stunned on the spot, and her daughter pulled her sleeve: "Mom, I want to eat candied haws." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, Monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
