The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 131

Xie Yujiao specially wore a rose-red woven gold-wrapped gown today, and a red gold-encrusted tourmaline hairpin on her head, with tassels hanging from it. She walked gracefully and swayed.These are prepared by Mrs. Xu for her in the past few months. Xie Yujiao hadn't made bright clothes for three years when Xie's family was in Xiaozhong, and what she wore on her head were mostly jade-based things. She never saw a few of them The red gold one is indeed Xie Yujiao's delicate and charming face, this is the most important way to show her beauty.

Mrs. Xu watched her and Xu Huiru walk over together. Xie Yu was as delicate and beautiful as a blooming peony, but Xu Huiru was as quiet as a water lily, fresh and elegant.It's no wonder that every time Mrs. Xu took them out, the wives and grandma would surround them and watch them.

"You look good when you dress up like this today. A girl of this age should dress brighter!" Xu said while inviting them to sit down. Seeing Xie Chaozong come out from the inside, Xie Chaozong also wore a pair of big red ingot-patterned gowns, and his big eyes rolled around. Now he can walk very nimbly. He came down and greeted him with both hands: "Sister, I haven't seen brother-in-law for a long time, where is he hiding?"

Xie Yujiao thought of Zhou Tianhao who just finished a bowl in the bathhouse last night, couldn't help laughing, reached out and hugged Xie Chaozong, and said with a smile: "What do you care about him? He can go wherever he likes. go."

Mrs. Xu on the side heard this, and only frowned and said: "Good boy Chaozong, in a few years your sister will pass the door. According to the custom, you can't see each other these days, so your brother-in-law didn't come. After two days, Chaozong will come again." I can see your brother-in-law."

Although marrying Zhou Tianhao had been decided early on, Xie Yujiao still felt a little blush when she heard Xu say it so calmly.Zhang's mother took Xie Chaozong from her arms, and made breakfast together with a smile.

Today's breakfast was also specially prepared, including wishful rolls, longevity noodles, white fungus and lotus seed soup, peanut crisps, Ruyi siu mai, etc. Xie Yujiao usually doesn't like sweets, so she ate longevity noodles and Ruyi siu mai.The maids here left the table, and a woman came in and replied, "Ma'am, the proposal for the dowry has been gone for more than half an hour, and the carriages outside are ready. If Madam is ready, That’s it, let’s go.”

"My side is already prepared. Go back to your room and see if there is anything left behind." Xu only ordered.

A few days ago, the maids had already tidied up the cages, but now it is just a matter of leaving with a roll of bedding.Because Xu Huiru was going to move back, she had a lot of things, but when she thought that she would not be able to see Xu every day after going back, she felt a little sad, and her eye circles turned red when she spoke.

Seeing that her eyes were red, Mrs. Xu asked hastily: "What's wrong with Huiru? Now that you are grown up, your father also has a house in the city. Your mother and younger sisters are all there. It would be best for you to live in the past." That's right, besides, your cousin will live in the city for a while, and your two houses are not too far away, and you can walk around with each other more, just to accompany your cousin."

After hearing this, Xu Huiru nodded obediently, took Xie Yujiao's hand again and said, "Cousin, let's go back and see if there is anything else we haven't brought."

When Xie Yujiao got up in the morning, she saw that he didn't take the box that Zhou Tianhao gave yesterday, but that's right, he rode here alone. If he went back with the money in this box, what would he do if he ran into bad guys?
Xie Yujiao thought about it, and only ordered the servant girl to put the box in the cage, lock it, and let the women carry it into the carriage outside.

Mrs. Xu went to the city, and the family couldn't help but ask Aunt Shen to stay. Fortunately, Aunt Shen was willing to take Chaozong there for a few days. Although she was a little bit reluctant, she didn't say anything.

After giving orders to the family, a group of six or seven carriages headed for the city.

After all, the carriage was fast, and after walking for about two quarters, it had already caught up with the large army. Mrs. Xu only ordered the women to take out the cakes made in the kitchen early in the morning and distribute them to the villagers. They stayed for a while. Then he set off again and left first.

Most of these villagers are the people of the Xie family's house. Usually, no one has received the favor of the Xie family. Although they are doing coolies now, they are very happy in their hearts. In their words, the Xie family is a great fortune. Now that I have a princess, this is the blessing that Jishan family should have!Otherwise, although Master Xie has gone, my aunt also gave birth to a posthumous child. The eldest girl was rumored to be so fierce and scary before, but she was unexpectedly attracted by the prince.Therefore, in this world, good people are rewarded.

The Xu family left Xie Yujiao and Xu Huiru in the carriage together, but let Mama Zhang take Xie Chaozong and two maidservants in the carriage behind.Seeing Xie Yujiao, Mrs. Xu still felt a little bit reluctant, so she said, "When you enter the palace, you can live in peace for a while, don't keep thinking about going home, just go back to the other side of Bailuzhou when you get back in three days." Courtyard, we are still staying there for a few days, so as to save you from running to Xie's house early in the morning, and the road is bumpy in hot weather."

Xie Yujiao just nodded vigorously, thinking that the day of marriage has not yet come, and Xu has already babbled so much, she doesn't know how much she will talk about when that day comes.

Xu Huiru listened quietly from the side, but felt a little sad in her heart. Obviously Xie Yujiao left the cabinet, why is she as sad as she is about to get married?
Xie Yujiao then said: "Mother, don't worry, there are no major events in the past few months. The rice has just been planted, and it will take a few months to wait for the harvest. There will not be many things at home. As for business matters , Uncle has taken care of everything well, I just look at the account books every month, and I don't bother much."

Mrs. Xu only nodded vigorously after hearing this, and said, "How is your seventh uncle? You came back yesterday, and I was busy with something, so I didn't have time to ask." Ever since Mrs. Xu knew that Xie Yujiao was going to leave the cabinet, she also began to care a little bit. When it comes to family affairs, even if you don't understand everything, it's okay to ask more questions.

"Seventh Uncle is worthy of being the person my father likes. It's really unusual. Now I've given him the workshop at Qinglong Mountain. If I do well this time, I'll try to attract some other business next time. The mulberry trees planted at the beginning of the year are also growing very well, and we can raise silkworms next spring, and then we will build a raw silk workshop, and my uncle said that these silk teas are sold well in those places where foreigners live."

"In that case, I'm relieved."

Unknowingly, two hours passed, and the carriage had already arrived outside the gate of Bailuzhou.Liu Fugen led the maids and women to welcome them out early in the morning. Mrs. Xu stood at the door and saw that the whole courtyard was decorated with lights and festoons, and the door was pasted with the word "Hi" in red.Red hydrangeas have been hung on the door lintel, and when you walk in, you can see big red lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor. From a distance, the whole courtyard becomes a sea of ​​lights.

Even on the rockery, the word "Happy" is pasted on the trees, and colored notes are hung on the branches, fluttering in the wind.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she only opened her mouth to admire: "You're such an idiot, how can you still think of these things?"

Liu Fugen felt embarrassed when he heard this, and just lowered his head and said: "I really didn't expect that this is all done by the prince and mother Liu. I went to the palace to see it yesterday, and it is ten times more beautiful than ours. Well, my wife didn't see how beautiful the palace is, but I heard that the emperor rewarded the prince with a hundred night pearl lamps, which were set on the stone railing beside the lotus pond. Even if the lights are not turned on at night, the lights are still bright."

Xie Yujiao was speechless when she heard that. Is this what Zhou Tianhao called "simple everything"?
When Xu heard this, she couldn't help being surprised. She thought that the box of bank notes she had prepared for Xie Yujiao should be a place to live. In this way, wouldn't she have to add some bargaining chips?

Seeing that Xu's face was slightly embarrassed, Xie Yujiao just smiled and said: "Why should mother compare with the emperor, if the emperor really wants us to compare, is it still the emperor?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu felt defeated.

After a while, everyone settled down, and the maids carried the cage inside and out. Xu Huiru left all the things in the carriage because she was going back to Hoop Tong Lane, and she came in alone.Xie Yujiao saw that people outside were chattering, so she dragged her into the study, and the two chatted lightly.

"Cousin..." Xie Yujiao looked at Xu Huiru. She was probably the most typical ancient lady, quiet and introverted, virtuous and chaste.

Xu Huiru raised her head and looked at Xie Yujiao as well, as if she was about to speak, but then lowered her head.

Xie Yujiao sighed, and after thinking about it, she finally said what was in her heart: "Cousin, if I introduce you to a marriage, but I want you to come to the house as a continuation, and to raise the child left by that person's original spouse, you can't do that." will hate me?"

As soon as Xie Yujiao said this, Xu Huiru raised her head abruptly, looking at Xie Yujiao with watery eyes, biting her lips with white jade-like teeth, couldn't help twisting the handkerchief with her fingertips, her cheeks were slightly flushed. red.

Seeing her like this, Xie Yujiao obviously had a crush on Kang Guangshou, but it was just because of her virginity that she couldn't speak.

"Although he is ten years older than you, he is a good old man and young wives. I think it should be a good marriage, but I'm afraid that uncle won't agree, and you don't want to..." Before Xie Yujiao finished speaking, suddenly the back of her hand When it was tight, Xu Huiru had already held Xie Yujiao's hand, looked up at Xie Yujiao, as if exhausted all her strength, and held back for a long time before saying: "Cousin, cousin... If that person is Master Kang, I... I willing."

After Xu Huiru said this, her cheeks were already flushed. For her, it was a great torture to tell this matter in person, but if she didn't say it, the good marriage would be missed, and she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Seeing what she said, Xie Yujiao finally couldn't help laughing, and said with a curved brow: "Since I know you have the same thoughts, then I can rest assured. I have already mentioned this matter to my mother. After a few days, I will discuss it with my uncle, you just wait for the good news."
