The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 22

Early the next morning, Xie Yujiao ordered Mrs. Zheng to go to Shen's house to deliver the message.In fact, when they came back from Yinlong Mountain yesterday, the Shen family had already heard some gossip, and some people were too late to come to flatter them.It's just that the Shen family has always been used to being honest, and they didn't even know about it, so those who came to the door were persuaded to go back one by one. It wasn't until Mrs. Zheng said everything that Mrs. A man with a broken leg limped in from the outside, frowned and said: "If she is really pregnant, it is her fate. Master Xie is a good man, if he can really leave a queen for him, it can be regarded as Our girl's good luck."

In fact, both Father Shen and Old Lady Shen love Aunt Shen very much, and they are also reluctant to let her stay at Xie's house at such a young age. They originally thought this way, or after Master Xie's filial piety over the past few years, ask Aunt Shen She didn't want to come out, who knew it was such a coincidence that the last Aunt Shen who entered the door had a child of Master Xie.

Mrs. Zheng also wondered in her heart, why doesn't it look like their family is happy for such a great event?

"Brother, my wife is all happy. Why do you still look sad when you look at you? I also understand what you mean. Auntie is young now, and you can't bear to watch over Xie's house for nothing, but if it wasn't for you Auntie is willing to enter Xie's house, how can your family live this day? Although the master is dead now, Auntie is a blessed person, and she is pregnant with one in her belly. Auntie has hope, she is a concubine, even if she tries to find someone new, she may not be able to find a good one, do you think this is the reason?"

Mrs. Shen was quite happy in her heart. She is a woman who is not as respectful as Mrs. Shen. She feels that her daughter has hope now, but she is relieved a lot. She just nodded and answered Mrs. Zheng's words: "Sister-in-law Zheng is right? , This is also her blessing, the wife and the girl are kind-hearted, we have nothing to be unhappy about." As she said, Mrs. Shen winked at Mrs. Zheng, implying that he was thin-skinned and couldn't stand people around his ears. Talk nonsense.

Mrs. Zheng understood, so she smiled and said: "The eldest lady invited me here to give you good news. Now my wife has taken my aunt to live in the main courtyard, and today I sent someone to the county to invite a doctor." Come here and have a look, make sure that my aunt's pregnancy is safe, and the eldest girl also asked me to ask if your Shihu is in good health, if he is well, please ask him to go to the house."

Shen Shihu is a young boy, and he is recovering quickly. After being raised at home these days, he is already in good shape. Now that he has agreed to this matter last time, he said: "Madam Zheng, my body has already recovered. Alright, let's go with you today."

Aunt Zheng also liked his straightforwardness, so she nodded in agreement, only looked him up and down and said: "But the girl is a spoiled guest, if you want to follow me back, this dress will not work."

Now that the weather is getting hotter, they usually wear sleeveless short open shirts at home. Hearing what Mrs. Zheng said, I feel a little embarrassed, so I just went to the room to change clothes. Mrs. Zheng saw that although it was a long robe, it was also A patch has been applied, but it is much better than the one with arms and legs exposed just now.

"The only few good clothes I have, I took them out when I sent out the darts, and lost them on the road. Now this is the only one left at home." Shen Shihu said honestly.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just wash it clean, then let's go."

When Mrs. Zheng brought Shen Shihu to the door, the doctor from Ren'an Hall in the county happened to be seeing Aunt Shen at the house. After taking her pulse, she said with a smile: "Master Xie must have a spirit in heaven to get this Madam Xie, don’t worry, my aunt is in good health and the fetus is normal. It’s been more than three months. As for my aunt fainting yesterday, it’s probably because she was tired from the journey, and she ate less in the morning, and she’s a little weak. Prescribe a few anti-fetal medicines, warm and mend well, and nothing will happen."

Mrs. Xu was very happy to hear that, and while sending Mama Zhang to collect the reward, she asked the servant to go with her to the county pharmacy to get the medicine, for fear that the medicine in the town's pharmacy would not have good medicinal materials.

Xie Yujiao was looking at the account books in the study at this time, and she had finally figured out the land rent a while ago. Now that Xu Yuxing is back, she has to start checking the accounts of the business.

She sent her maid to Xu's room to inquire about Aunt Shen's health, and Xie Yujiao finally felt relieved, and concentrated on reading the account book. Bring it here.Seeing Ziyan's flushed face, Xie Yujiao saw the shyness of the outsider, and thought that the girls in ancient times were probably this shy, and they blushed before they came in.

"Go down and make a pot of good tea." Xie Yujiao just ordered, thinking that since Shen Shihu used to be a dart runner, he should have some knowledge, I'm afraid he can't just treat him as an ordinary servant and listen to Mrs. Zheng I said that the father and son of the Shen family have quite a bit of backbone, let alone let others think that they are eating soft food and fighting the autumn wind, so they also plan to treat each other with courtesy.

Mrs. Zheng led Shen Shihu in, and said at the door: "Girl, Aunt Shen's elder brother is here."

There was no one else in the study at the moment, Xie Yujiao said, "Mama Zheng, please close the curtain and invite him in. You wait outside the door and lead him out later."

Mrs. Zheng was very convinced of Xie Yujiao in her heart, she only responded, stepped forward to close the curtain, turned around and said to Shen Shihu: "Nephew, go in quickly, it will be beneficial to see the girl."

Shen Shihu usually works hard outside and sees rough men, but now he wants to beg for food under the hands of a little girl, he doesn't know why, but he is a little nervous, and just now he heard that voice was louder than a lark on a treetop It was a little sweeter, but I felt more and more cramped. I wanted to bend down to go in, but my back stiffened, and I bumped my head against the curtain.

Mrs. Zheng was originally a short person, and she still had a heel pad for him when she drew the curtain, but now seeing him bumping her head against the curtain, she was anxious all the time, if she is so reckless, don't be rude in front of the girl!
Xie Yujiao only heard a bang, and when she raised her head, she saw a tall, tall, dark-skinned man standing in front of her. He looked 1.8 meters tall. In the age of ancient times when heights were discounted, he really stood out from the crowd. .

The man felt a gaze shot past him, so he only raised his head, and saw a beautiful girl whom he had never seen in his life sitting in front of the desk, with a gardenia flower on his temple, pink face and peach cheeks, eyes like lacquer generally.That line of sight swept over him, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, Shen Shihu didn't feel uneasy because of this slight smile, on the contrary, as if he was encouraged, he bowed his hands to Xie Yujiao solemnly, and bowed: "The little Shen Shihu pays his respects to the eldest lady."

Xie Yujiao put down the brush in her hand, raised her head to look at Shen Shihu, this appearance was much better than those cousins ​​of the Xie family who she had seen a while ago, no wonder Mr. Xie also looked down on him Those people, just don't let them meddle in Xie's business.

"Excuse me, how old are you older than me, how about I call you Brother Shen?" Although his younger sister is an aunt in Xie's family, according to the ancient rules, this cannot be regarded as a serious relative, so there is no wrong seniority The problem is only distinguished by age, which is simple and easy to distinguish.

"The little ones don't dare, the eldest lady can just call me Shi Hu." Shen Shihu heard this delicate voice, but felt that it was as heavy as a thousand weights, and couldn't help but blushed a little.

"Then call Brother Shi Hu." Xie Yujiao said with a final word, Ziyan had already brewed tea and brought it in with her head down, Xie Yujiao invited Shen Shihu to take a seat, Shen Shihu refused, Xie Yujiao let him go, He picked up a cup of tea and started talking about business.

"I don't know how long you have been out. Do you know what happened in Xie's house recently? There are [-] or [-] refugees in our Xie's house now, all of them from the north. I heard that they brought some northern habits. The people in the village were a little unhappy. My father kept them here to let them settle down and live together. He didn’t say that they were guests from afar. I just tolerated it."

Shen Shihu has been recuperating at home these days, so he has heard about these things, and even his brother who grew up in the mud together, wants to teach those outsiders a lesson when he recovers!Hearing Xie Yujiao's words now, she also nodded and said, "I've heard it, it's not a big deal, it's just that there are some boys from some families who are not up to date, some petty thieves, and they haven't been caught yet. If you catch it right, you will definitely be taught a lesson."

Hearing what he said, Xie Yujiao didn't seem to be completely ignorant, so she smiled and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. I happen to be busy with another matter here. The army donated [-] pieces of padded jackets, and now they are rushing to work in the warehouses at the entrance of the village. Two days ago, I heard that there were always people spending time there at night. The second housekeeper was afraid that thieves would steal the clothes. And keep a close eye on that place for me, whoever you need, you order it yourself, if anyone is willing to follow you, ask him to go to the housekeeper Tao and tell him that the land rent on the first floor of their house will be exempted this year."
