The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 24

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You think it's so easy to conceive a child, and you can have it if you say so? It's probably because you've eaten your stomach." After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she only told Mama Zhang, who was standing by the side, to say: "Tomorrow morning, you call a boy to go to the town and ask a doctor to come and show Aunt Fang."

Xie Yujiao didn't bother to take care of those moths, so she said casually: "Mother Zhang will arrange it tomorrow." Then she said to the little maid who was waiting at the side: "Aunt Fang has seen the doctor tomorrow, remember to come and talk to me. Don't worry your wife."

The little maid was just a servant girl, and she didn't know what kind of medicine Aunt Fang and the old aunt sold in the gourd, so she just nodded her head in agreement.

Xie Yujiao told Mrs. Xu about seeing Shen Shihu again today. After hearing what Xie Yujiao said, Mrs. Xu just said, "As soon as he comes, tell him to be in charge. I'm afraid someone outside will gossip. He said it was because of him." I got this job because of Aunt Shen's relationship, I'm afraid he doesn't look good on his face!"

It's not that Xie Yujiao didn't think of this problem, but she felt that a man should be able to bend and stretch, and she felt wronged after a few rumors, so what's the big deal?Besides, it is true that he was able to come in because of Aunt Shen's relationship, but Xie Yujiao is also a person with a discerning eye. Looking at his muscles, the honest and forbearing expression on his face, I feel that he Should be useful.

Few men in the south can grow up like him, and there are only a few people in Xie's house who can compare their muscles with those refugees, so she has no choice but to win them over.

"If he does a good job, naturally no one dares to gossip. If anyone refuses to accept it, let him stand up and go to the grain drying field at the entrance of the village to compete with him. Whoever wins will be the guardian."

Hearing Xie Yujiao's confident tone, Mrs. Xu knew that she was quite satisfied with Shen Shihu, so she just smiled and said: "You are a good judge of people, that's all, now you have the final say in the family, and I will listen to you."

Early the next morning, Mother Zhang sent a servant to the town to invite the doctor.The doctor is the doctor of Huichuntang in the town, and he is also the queen doctor who is usually used by the old aunt and grandma when they are sick. Xie's family members usually come to him for minor ailments. After asking for a pulse and saying a few words, Xie Yujiao felt that he was an unreliable quack.

Xie Yujiao came out of Xu's courtyard after breakfast, and saw a little maid leading the doctor to the small courtyard in the northwest corner, where the old aunt lived, but Aunt Fang lived with Aunt Liu and the others on the east side. The small cross courtyard.Xie Yujiao felt strange, so she asked the magpie to stop the little maid for questioning, and the little maid said, "Aunt Fang went to the room of the old aunt and grandma early in the morning to say hello."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she just sneered and said, "I went to the old aunt's room to say hello early in the morning. Aunt Fang is really well-behaved. Why didn't I see her coming to my wife's place to say hello?"

The little maid knew that she had said something wrong, so she could only frowned and said: "Back to the eldest girl, it was the old aunt who called Aunt Fang to come over, saying that she directly invited the doctor to her room."

Xie Yujiao has always known that this old aunt and grandma are restless, as long as she doesn't give birth to any moths, she won't bother to pay attention to her. It's thanks to her that she has such thoughts.

"That's right, you can ask the doctor to see the old aunt too." Xie Yujiao just said.

When the servant girl heard the words, she suddenly didn't understand: "Is the old aunt not sick?"

"Why are you not sick? If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor. You are old and like to control everything. That is also a disease, commonly known as menopausal syndrome." Xie Yujiao's eyes flashed towards the white-bearded doctor, which made the doctor feel uncomfortable. Feeling a little guilty, he said in embarrassment: "Miss is well-read and knowledgeable, I really don't know that I have this disease."

Xie Yujiao covered her mouth with a smile, and didn't want to talk to them anymore, so she said, "Okay, you guys go, after reading it in a while, go to my wife and call back."

Magpie watched Xie Yujiao making fun of the old Chinese doctor, and thought it was very interesting, and leaned forward to ask Xie Yujiao, "Girl, is there really such a thing as menopausal syndrome?"

Seeing her unblinking eyes, Xie Yujiao just nodded with a smile: "Of course, I saw it in the foreign books in my father's study, and people of my aunt's age would know it."

"I said that my aunt and grandma have become less and less popular recently. It turns out that this is a disease!" Magpie suddenly realized.

Xie Yujiao looked at the account books for half a month in the study, and finally figured out the current property of the Xie family.The existing cultivated land is about [-] hectares. Xie Yujiao calculated carefully, which is equivalent to [-] square kilometers of land. No wonder Boss Tao said that there are so many other counties with this land.These are just fields, not including those orchards, hillsides and so on.

There are a total of six houses, apart from the ancestral house where Xie's house lived, there are five other houses in Jinling City, and now four of them are leased to merchants and officials from the north.There is only a house next to Bailuzhou. I heard that the emperor once lived in the southern tour many years ago, so he never rented it out. Now he only lets his servants look over the house. See you in July and August. The weather is different. When it's hot, Mr. Xie will take Mrs. Xu and Xie Yujiao to live there for a while.

In addition, there are tea houses, cloth shops, several money shops, jade utensil shops, antique shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, as well as half of the alley in Gutong Lane and half of the alley in Nengrenli. These are all ancestral properties.But in recent years, the most profitable business is no longer these, but the trading business in Xu Yuxing's hands.Every year, tea, raw silk, brocade and other goods on the market are neatly purchased, directly shipped to Quanzhou by sea, and then sold to Bolai country by sea, in exchange for a large number of gems, agates, diamonds, and gold and silver.

These things are extremely popular in Dayong. Several jewelry shops in the capital are now looking to Xu Yuhang for purchases. Imported jewelry has become the fashion of the nobles in Dayong.

Xie Yujiao looked at the more than [-] taels of income and output, and thought that she really couldn't underestimate the strength of local tyrants.Those who don't know, just think that their Xie family is just a local rich man, how can they know that their family is so rich, if the elders of those clans know about this, it's not that their eyes will pop out of their sockets.

Mr. Xie is rich and loves to do good deeds. He usually builds bridges and roads in Xie’s house, and in times of famine and famine, he is willing to reduce or exempt the land rent and open a shed to give out porridge. Spontaneously sent him off.But all of this has to be based on the fact that the Xie family has money. If there is no money, none of these can be done.

After Xie Yujiao found out that she was sitting on such a large amount of wealth, she also felt a little dizzy. In her previous life, she was busy making a living, and after paying the rent, she could only eat instant noodles for a month. Suddenly, she became rich. It feels a little too dreamy.Xie Yujiao originally thought that Mr. Xie had left enough wealth for her and Mrs. Xu, but she never thought that the wealth would be so astonishing.

Xie Yujiao hadn't recovered yet, the little maid outside just pulled the curtain and came in and said, "Girl, Madam sent Sister Bai Ling to invite the girl to her room, saying that she has something to discuss!"

Mrs. Xu usually knew that Xie Yujiao was busy with these common affairs, so she didn't often come to invite her. Xie Yujiao thought that she must have something to do, so she didn't delay, closed the account book and got up.

When Xie Yujiao went out, she saw Bailing waiting at the second gate. Seeing Xie Yujiao approaching, her brows were all frowned. Xie Yujiao deliberately quickened her pace and walked up to her. Bailing saluted, but was stopped by Xie Yujiao. : "What's the matter, my wife sent you to call me in person."

Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Ling leaned into Xie Yujiao's ear and said, "Girl, the doctor said that Aunt Fang is pregnant for several months!"

When Xie Yujiao heard the words, she didn't understand at first, but after she understood, she couldn't help laughing, and said with a bit of disdain on her face: "Are they still thinking that having a baby is magic? If you want to have it, you can do it?"

Bai Ling didn't understand the meaning of Xie Yujiao's words, so he just frowned blindly, and said in a low voice: "My wife doesn't know what to do at the moment, and I don't know if the doctor is reliable, and I want to invite a girl." Go back and discuss countermeasures!"

When Xie Yujiao heard this, even a person like Mrs. Xu who desperately hoped that Master Xie would give birth to a son was somewhat skeptical that Aunt Fang was pregnant. It seemed that Aunt Fang must not believe what was in her belly.

"Do you believe that Aunt Fang is pregnant?"

Bai Ling shook his head vigorously, frowned and said, "Master seldom goes to Aunt Fang's room. If she can conceive, it must be..."

For the sake of Master Xie's reputation, you can't talk nonsense. Xie Yujiao was reminded by Bai Ling, and then she realized that the reason why Xu called her to come over so nervously was because of this!She was not afraid that Aunt Fang's pregnancy was fake, but she was afraid that the seed in Aunt Fang's stomach was not from Master Xie!After all, as the mistress of the house, no matter how confused Xu is, it is impossible not to know which concubine's room her man went to.

Xie Yujiao's eyes turned cold, and she gave Bai Ling a cold look, and Bai Ling lowered her head, not daring to continue speaking.

"Who knows about this now?"

"No one should know. My wife won't tell me, so I just invited the girl over."

Xie Yujiao nodded, twisting her handkerchief while walking and thinking about things, but what she was thinking was a little different from Xu's!Aunt Shen was only diagnosed as pregnant the day before yesterday, and Aunt Fang is pregnant just two days later. This is obviously because she is rushing to the ring.Besides, Aunt Shen used to be inaccurate in water, so she didn't know she was pregnant, but Aunt Fang did everything possible to enter Xie's house, just to give Mr. Xie a share of the money for giving birth to a son?How could it be like Aunt Shen who didn't know how many months she was pregnant?Isn't that a joke?
