Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 37
Shen's expression was worried, and she consciously saw through her husband's thoughts, "So he planned for Jing Yu, so he gave you a little sweetness in advance? It's ridiculous! Even if you share the family property in half, Jing Yu will not suffer. How can you give birth to such Please come."

My heart was in a panic, as long as I thought of those vicious things done in the West Courtyard, I would feel resentful and resentful!

Although she was angry, she believed her husband's words.

——For Shao Jingyu.

Xianhui chuckled inwardly, so she didn't need to talk to her father at all.If he is willing, the natural reasons and excuses are better than what he thinks, and everything will be done properly, and he will wait for him to enter the palace willingly.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, a girl came to send a message, "Second Miss, the master asked you to come over."

Xianhui knew in her heart that it was time for her to repay her father.

When he arrived at the study, Shao Yuanheng asked the first sentence: "How are you going to enter the palace?"

"I've thought about it." Facing such a father, Xianhui didn't even bother to do superficial efforts, and said directly: "Don't tell mother and others about this in advance, otherwise there will definitely be troubles, how about this..." She said carefully I made up my own mind, "When the time comes, it will be smooth and smooth. Before that, I can stay with them for a while longer in peace."

Shao Yuanheng listened to her idea, looked into her calm eyes, and felt that the previous hemorrhage was finally right.

He said, "It's so good."

Xianhui was blessed, "Then my daughter will leave first."

"Wait." Shao Yuanheng was very worried about this daughter who had become so calm, "Don't play any tricks! You have to remember, the kings and teachers of heaven and earth, if a father wants his son to die, his son has to die!"

Xianhui's complexion changed, and veins twitched on her temples. Her father meant that even if a part of the property was distributed to the East Courtyard, even if she entered the palace, she, her brother and sister would always be his children.Especially elder brother, he can neither enter the palace and leave like himself, nor marry and go to another family like his elder sister. He will be a member of the Shao family until his death, he is Shao Yuanheng's son!
The father took advantage of his son and just made up a crime of disobedience and unfilial piety, which was enough for the elder brother to walk away.

Xianhui suppressed the raging anger in her heart, slowly raised the corners of her mouth, and said word by word: "Father, don't worry, my daughter will always remember your words."

— never forgive!
Xian Hui returned to the East Courtyard.

There was a little girl waiting at the door, "Madam asked Second Miss to come over."

Xian Hui nodded, "En." Before entering the main room, he calmed down outside.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen asked suspiciously: "These days, what is your father always looking for you for?"

"What else can there be?" Xianhui pretended to be relaxed and helpless, and sighed: "Father said that the east courtyard and the west courtyard have had a lot of trouble recently, and he has seen everything in his eyes and kept it in his heart. He also said that he is going to transfer ownership to brother The company in Yanzhou also needs to give the house and land as compensation to the East Court, so let me persuade you not to be angry."

Shen's expression was uneasy, and she said in a deep voice: "So that's how it is."

Xian Hui thought that she was leaving, so she tried to persuade her a few more words, "The people over there in the West Courtyard have a dark heart, but evil people have evil rewards, and their tricks and tricks don't work, we are still safe and sound." : "Furthermore, my grandmother had spoken before, and usually there is no need for the Rong family and others to come to the east courtyard to pay their respects, and Shao Tongyun has also left. Mother... Let's just relax and live, and ignore them."

Ming Hui has the temperament of doing more things than doing things less, and then said: "Xian Hui is right, there is no need to care about those black-eyed chickens, but let yourself have a bad time. We already know their bad intentions. In the future, be more on guard, less contact, and be careful not to be calculated."

"Okay, okay." Shen couldn't help laughing angrily, "you two little girls are still here to persuade me? Don't I see more things than you, and I am happy to see it? I just can't swallow that breath in my heart. When I think of immortals Hui was almost plotted against several times, and I was afraid of dreaming at night, hey... I will be relieved if I marry you sooner."

Xianhui's smile froze slightly.

No, the matter of Lu Jian will be brought up again.

"Mother." Xianhui said hesitantly, "In my opinion, it's better not to be engaged to Lu Jian yet."

"Are you willing again?" Chen was puzzled, "You're pretty..." My daughter liked Lu Jian's words, but she couldn't say it, so she paused, "Don't you think he's pretty good? What's the matter?"

"It's not that he's not good." Xianhui tried her best to explain, "I just think that the Lu family is angry with the Shao family at the moment, and it's not good to propose marriage hastily. The Lu family will inevitably think that Miss Shao's engagement and backtracking, who would Do you know if Miss Shao Er will do it? Could it be that the children of the Lu family can be picked by others at will? The daughters of the Shao family can marry if they want to marry, and don’t marry if they don’t want to."

Shen sighed: "Everyone will be angry about this matter."

Minghui asked: "You mean to wait? When will we wait?"

Xianhui had already thought about the refusal on this matter, and said: "I don't think it's better than this. You don't have to be engaged to avoid the matter of a beautiful girl. It's the same if you spend some money to report my illness. As for the Lu family, let’s cool it down first, and then discuss it after their family gets over this anger, maybe it will be easier to come to fruition.”

Although Shen hesitated, she still nodded lightly.

Ming Hui suddenly smiled and said, "I understand." She blinked at her sister, "You, you were worried about rushing to talk about the Lu family's marriage, but you said something dirty, and you plan to take it slow and steady." Couldn't help laughing, and laughed with his mother: "I just said that she is a cheeky girl, hum...a heart has been stolen long ago."

Shen Shi also laughed when she heard this, and blamed her little daughter again, "Hey, after all, it's because you are too spoiled at ordinary times."

Xianhui smiled, but her heart was full of sadness about parting.

She didn't dare to show it, she pretended to be coquettish, and buried her head in her mother's arms, "Mother, let my sister stop talking." There was deep sadness in her heart, and she just pretended to be shy and buried her head for a long time, refusing to raise her head.

Mrs. Chen patted the youngest daughter's back, "Okay, okay, I won't let your sister say it." Then she said: "What you said just now makes sense, it's better not to rush to discuss marriage with Lu Jian, so as not to be self-defeating. When your brother comes back, I will ask him to give some gifts to the draftees."

Xian Hui said "Yes" and did not stop her.

Father must have greeted the draft picks.

When Shao Jingye came back, he immediately went to report his sister's illness as he did in his previous life.When he came back, he happily said without knowing it: "At the beginning, the father-in-law was unwilling, but after I gave 100 taels of silver, he smiled happily and said it's okay."

Shen Shi was relieved, but shook her head again, "It's really dark enough."

Shao Jingye also said: "That's right, if we hadn't come to Jiangdu to live with our father, how could we have all this money? It wouldn't be enough to scrape together."

Shen shi let out a long sigh.

Xindao, the younger daughter was right in persuading her before, following her husband, at least one more rich and powerful benefactor.If it was left in Xianzhi Town, it would be impossible to make up the money no matter what.Now that they finally have enough food and clothing, their son will soon become a treasurer, and the daughters can prepare a generous dowry, so it is not bad.

The following days were very peaceful.

Xianhui tried her best to pretend to be a normal person, serving her grandmother to smoke waterpipes, talking with her mother, and doing some needlework with her sister. Every day, she suppressed bitterness and showed a smile, loving every inch of her time with her relatives.

It's a pity that time will never stop and slip away a little bit.

Soon it will be the day of the March draft.

Inside and outside the city of Jiangdu, as well as in nearby counties and counties, was full of chickens and dogs, and the selected show girls were gathered in a courtyard of King Qing's Mansion, and were selected layer by layer.Naturally, Xianhui didn't need to go through this process. She hid her family from her family and lived a peaceful life, just waiting for the moment of parting to come.

The night before Xiunu left Jiangdu, Xianhui asked the small kitchen to add a few dishes, only saying that she was greedy.

Shen's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and she looked at Jiao Didi's little daughter dotingly, "You, you have such a naughty temper, what should you do if you marry someone and go to your in-law's house?" Then she looked at Ming Hui, "You are an older sister, so I usually teach my younger sister more. A few words."

Minghui responded with a smile.

Grandma Shao said with a smile: "I think Xianhui has become more sensible in the past six months." She told the girl to put the dishes that my sister-in-law likes in front of her, and served Shao's mother and Mrs. Shen to eat, and then respected her husband and took care of her little daughter. This is what she has done every day since she married into the Shao family, and she is used to it.

Shen said with a smile: "It was said that it was cold, and you two ate for yourself in the house, but Xianhui was greedy for this, so we huddled together to eat, otherwise we would not be able to finish it."

"That's fine." Shao's mother slowly swallowed a chopstick dish, and then said: "A first-class hot pot, it is necessary to have a lot of people to eat lively, so that there is an atmosphere." It would be even better if the son was by her side , Unfortunately, this can not be said.

Shao Jingye took a few sips of hot wine and said, "Father said, let me go to Yanzhou when it gets warmer."

Grandma Shao showed a reluctant look.

Xianhui interjected: "Mother, why don't you let your sister-in-law go together? Brother, there must be someone who loves and takes care of you, otherwise you won't be at ease."

It is best for everyone in the East Court to leave, stay away from Jiangdu, and never come back.

Shen stopped her chopsticks, looked at her son and daughter-in-law without saying a word.

Grandma Shao has always been timid and cautious. On the one hand, she was grateful for her sister-in-law's thoughtfulness, but on the other hand she was worried about her mother-in-law's scolding, so she hurriedly said, "No, no! I am the eldest daughter-in-law, so I should stay and take care of my grandmother and mother. Besides, Sister Qin is still young." Woolen cloth."

But Xianhui said: "Sister-in-law, you can take Sister Qin with you."

Shen thought for a while, "That's fine." Her thoughts were similar to those of her younger daughter, and she said, "I'm not too old. I can eat and walk, and I can do anything." Looking at her mother-in-law, "What about me, Stay with your mother and watch Minghui and Xianhui again, let Jing Ye and his family go to Yanzhou to live happily ever after."

The mother-in-law is Shao Yuanheng's biological mother, and the Rong family will not touch her. As long as the son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter leave, and marry the two daughters later, it will be left to him.

Even if Rong came over with a knife and shouted to kill, he was not afraid.

Shao Jingye was unwilling, "Mother..."

"Okay!" Shen interrupted sternly, "You don't listen to me, do you? This family, isn't it good enough? As long as you all have a good life in the future, you will be filial to me."

Xian Hui took the opportunity to persuade: "Brother, when you gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou, you can still pick us up to play? Wouldn't it be better to walk around in two steps? Besides, Yanzhou and Jiangdu are not far away, so it's the same if you come back often Yes, it's not much different from your usual work outside."

Shao Jingye hesitated for a moment. Indeed, the people in the East Court had a cleaner life if they set up their own households.

Shao's mother only cares about having maids to serve her and smoking waterpipes, and now she has maids flattering her to accompany her to play leaf cards every day. She doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the east and west courtyards, let alone embarrass her son.I thought about it, if the people from the East Court went to Yanzhou to live alone, everyone wanted to keep their ears clean, so they didn't say much.

Ming Hui listened to her mother and elder brother in everything, and remained silent.

Grandma Shao suppressed her joy, how beautiful it would be if she could go to Yanzhou with her husband to live a happy life?It's just a little embarrassing, such a thought seems unfilial after all, so I dare not make a sound.

Finally, Shen made a final decision, "That's it!"

After dinner, Xianhui lingered in her mother's room for a long time, until her sister pulled her away, and then she left reluctantly.

When I got back to the wing room, I quietly hid the bank notes and letters in the pillow, and smiled to my sister, "I sewed a lantern riddle in the pillow. When I get up early tomorrow, I will go to the garden to fold flowers. When I come back, you can solve the riddle again." , if you win, I will give you flowers."

Minghui took off her coat and went to bed, her face looked very gentle under the light, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's naughty, and I made it so weird if I guessed it." She stretched out her hand to pinch her face, pretending to exert force, "Mother I said it, let me teach you well, first pinch and tell you to be more honest."

"It hurts..." Xianhui's face didn't hurt, but her heart was sore and uncomfortable.

That night, after pestering her sister for half the night, knowing that her sister had fallen asleep in a daze, she still had her eyes wide open and couldn't fall asleep at all.When Minghui woke up in the middle of the night, she vaguely felt that her sister was not asleep by the dim light, and habitually stretched out her hand to cover her with the quilt, but felt warm tears.

She rubbed her eyes in a daze, and said worriedly, "It's okay, why are you crying? What's wrong."

"Sister." Xian Hui hugged her sister and choked up tears, "I... I had a nightmare."

"What did you dream about?" Minghui felt relieved, yawned, hugged her sister into her arms, and laughed at her, "When I get married to the Song family, you sleep alone and cry in the middle of the night when you have nightmares Are you ashamed?"

Xian Hui lay in her sister's warm arms, bit her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face.

In the early morning of the next day, Xianhui was dressed as usual and went out with a smile, "I'll go pick flowers."

Minghui helped her straighten a silk flower on her temple, and said, "Wrap up your cloak, don't be playful, and come back early." She didn't pay much attention, but shook her head and smiled, "I'll never be honest for a moment."

And Xian Hui went out to the back garden, where there was a carriage waiting for her.

Shao Yuanheng saw that his second daughter came honestly and did not play tricks, so he calmed down and said, "Go up, someone will take care of you along the way, and you won't suffer."

Xianhui lowered her eyes, blessed, "Thank you, dad."

The father and daughter finished the polite words on the scene, and there was no more to say.

The carriage immediately drove out of Shao's mansion, led by Director Zhao, Shao Yuanheng's confidant, and left through the back door of the garden.But as soon as he left the door, the carriage stopped, and Xianhui was wondering what was going on outside, when she heard Rong's voice, with a bit of sarcasm, "Xianhui, you are going to climb a tall branch and become a phoenix!" went."

Xianhui knew that she was mocking her for looking for death, so she smiled softly, "Mrs. Rong is so polite, I just want to be a little girl, what can I count as a high-ranking girl? But the third sister, who became the servant of the big county king Concubine, if you seal your wife, that is the real golden phoenix."

Rong was so angry that he jumped up and cursed: "You bitch..."

"Mrs. Rong." Director Zhao interrupted her, "Master is still in the garden over there."

Rong was so angry that his liver hurt, he looked back at his back garden, afraid that her husband would not go far.He didn't dare to scold, and didn't dare to say any more, so he sternly said, "Just wait! You will be happy later!"

Xian Hui chuckled, "I'm fine." She lifted the curtain a little, waved her hand, and now there was Manager Zhao watching outside, not afraid of Rong's spoiling, "Mrs. Rong, do you know? I went to the capital happily, but it was a great benefit."

Rong Shi was startled when he heard the words, "What's the benefit?"

Xianhui's voice was smug, and she purposely annoyed her, "Mrs. Rong wants to know? Then go to the accounting office to check." She smiled happily, "Hehe, anyway, it's better than last time, more, and more. To make people feel sweet."

"You're talking nonsense!" Rong's willow brows stood on end, and her almond eyes were wide and round.

"Let's go." Xianhui said in an elegant voice, "Don't delay the draft."

The groom raised his whip, and the carriage hurried away with a "crack".

Rong was so angry that he was stunned on the spot. He didn't believe it, but felt that it was very possible, so he rushed to the account room to check the accounts, opened the recent expenses, and saw - a total of 5 taels of silver was spent!Immediately, his eyes went dark, and if it wasn't for Ruan's mother's eyesight and hands, she almost fell to the ground.

Ruan's mother turned pale with fright.

Rong was so angry that he almost lost his breath, and after a long while, he stammered: "Master...Master, he, he is going to dig my heart out! Today's 3 taels, tomorrow's 5 taels, the entire Shao family He was almost emptied."

This is the result of Xianhui worrying that Rong's secret tricks, interfering with his brother's going to Yanzhou, and only telling part of the result.

But it didn't take long before Shao Jingye took his wife and daughter to Yanzhou.

The Rong family became suspicious again, and asked people to inquire, only to find out that her husband had transferred the Yanzhou branch to Shao Jingye, as well as the big house and [-] mu of fertile land he bought in Yanzhou.

Of course, these are all for later.

But right now, Ming Hui waited in the house for a long while but her sister came back, she felt that something was wrong, so she asked the girl to check in her house, but there was no one there.I had no choice but to lead the girl to the back garden to find someone, where can I find it?She was very worried, and suddenly remembered what her sister said before, and in doubt, she quickly removed the pillow.

When I opened it, I was frightened out of my wits by the banknotes and letters!
