The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 47

When Mrs. Zhang saw that Mrs. Xu had figured this out, she felt more relieved, and she said happily, "It's the best that my wife can think so, not to mention the fact that the girl is doing these things now. Everything is for the Xie family. In the future, if the child in Aunt Shen's womb is a boy, the wife can't alienate the girl. First, the child is small, and there is no hope, and second, it is not born in the wife's womb after all. The ones that come out are always separated by a layer.”

Mrs. Xu just nodded when she heard the words, her eyebrows were still a little anxious, and she just said, "I know what you said, when I come in the future, the only person I can count on is Jiaojiao, and now Jiaojiao Jiao is also getting older, and after two years of filial piety, I am afraid that the uncles in this clan will start arranging marriages for her again. I also understand their thoughts. By then we will be old, young, and Jiao. Jiao, a married girl, naturally can't meddle in the family affairs, as long as there is some trouble in the Xie family, they can take advantage of the chaos, how can Jiaojiao take care of it now, so tight!"

"Since my wife thinks so clearly, why don't I go back to Mrs. He, what she said today sounds like she likes our girl on the scene, but the words under her tongue don't mean that our girl has a bad reputation now , I can't marry any good family, and in my opinion, no matter what our girl is, she is much better than her son."

Mrs. Xu has been worrying about this matter all day long, and when Mama Zhang mentioned it like this, she really figured it out.It's also my fault that my ears are soft, and I was taken away by Mrs. He, and I almost had the idea of ​​making a mistake.Mrs. Xu sighed, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Fortunately, you are by my side, please remind me, otherwise I will really be deceived."

Mrs. Xu made up her mind to recruit a son-in-law for Xie Yujiao, and sent Mama Zhang to He's house the next day, and said a lot of good things. She only said that Mrs. Xu was reluctant to part with Xie Yujiao, and that the girl would definitely stay at home in the future. Yes, I was so embarrassed to keep the young master of the He family waiting, so I came to the door to explain clearly in person, so as to avoid misunderstanding between the two families.

The He family's wishful thinking was crackling, who knew that the horoscope had not yet been written, and it was in vain again.He Wenhai heard it outside, but he was overjoyed. He waited for Zhang's mother to leave, and hurried in and said, "Mum, you heard me, I don't like her, and she doesn't like me! Hurry up and give Cuixing to me." Take it back, I'm used to her serving, I can't sleep well without her in the room at night!"

Mrs. He was so angry that her nose was smoking, and she poked He Wenhai's forehead with her fingertips, and said angrily: "What's the use of the maid who was kicked out, I'll buy you another one!"

Dozens of days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, Xie’s family kept their filial piety, and there were no relatives to go around. However, according to the old rules, they ordered a lot of mooncakes at the Fuxiang Garden in the county and distributed them to the family members. Uncles and brothers who have no income.

Xie Yujiao looked at the money in this item on the account book, and was always dissatisfied in her heart, so she thanked the master for his kindness and willingness to support this group of free eaters.

At this time, the uncles and brothers of the family came to the mansion one after another to fetch things, besides moon cakes, there were white sugar wrapped in kraft paper, and a few bolts of plain silk, all of which Liu Fugen was used to.So when I came to ask Xie Yujiao this year, Xie Yujiao agreed, and when the things were shipped back, Xie Yujiao felt distressed when she saw it.

The last time Shen Shihu went to Jiang's house to get back the dowry of his aunt and grandma, Jiang's family was ashamed and deceived, they took a lot of things, Xie Yujiao was also anxious for a while, so she listed these things, thinking that I have no ability to ask for it myself , then simply do a good deed and donate it all to the Yamen.

Looking at the dowry list sent by Liu Fugen, Kang Guangshou couldn't laugh or cry. Over there, Liu Fugen said with a mournful face: "Master Kang, our family really can't help it. The eldest lady said that Mr. Kang might be good at this matter. If you can get it back, these things , we also donated it to the imperial court.”

As for why Mr. Kang is good at it, it is just that Kang Guangshou frightened the Jiang family, saying that the money owed now belongs to the court, but it is different from the money owed to the Xie family. You can rely on the money owed to the Xie family. No one cares, now you owe money to the imperial court and you rely on it, it will be confiscated and confiscated!

Mr. Jiang had a stroke because of this scare, and Jiang Guosheng was half dead. Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to take a few land deeds and sell them. Who knew that Xie Yujiao found out and let Tao Laixi run away In one trip, he bought several fertile fields from the Jiang family.

After Kang Guangshou found out, he only felt that he was in trouble with Xie Yujiao, but he didn't know why, but he felt very happy.

"Miss, Mrs. Kang gave birth to a son three days ago. Although it took a long time, the mother and child are safe in the end. Miss, let's see what gifts to send there? The villain should prepare first, although our family is now Keeping filial piety, but it is also good to let my uncle take care of it in the name of the Xu family in private."

It is inconvenient for the Xie family to keep their filial piety now, and this matter really needs to be taken care of.Xie Yujiao nodded and said: "You still choose things according to when your father was here before, and you don't need to ask me for my opinion." Liu Fugen nodded in agreement, and went out to run errands in a proper manner.

At this time, Magpie came over and saw Liu Fugen gone, so he said: "Girl, the second uncle from the clan is here and is sitting in the front yard, Madam asked the girl to come over."

Since the second uncle ate turtles on the day of Master Xie's burial, he has been honest for a while. Recently, the priests, large and small, did not come here in person. They just sent errands to the house to collect money for incense candles.These are small coins, and Xie Yujiao has nothing to skimp on. Anyway, they can't make a lot of money by relying on these coins.

It's just that Xie Yujiao felt blocked when she heard that she was allowed to go there again!Have a good holiday, give you something, just take it away, and come here to set up the score of the elders, what is the reason for this.

But after Mrs. Xu had spoken, Xie Yujiao had no choice but to go, so she had no choice but to straighten her clothes and go with her maid.

Before I got to the door, I heard the second uncle inside openly said: "I heard that my eldest niece and Li have left. I haven't discussed such a big matter with the clan. This and Li's daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house. There’s no rumors about people at all, so what’s the matter?”

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu felt depressed, but she didn't know how to refute it for a moment. Heli is indeed not a trivial matter, and the elders of the clan can adapt to it by saying a few words.

Fortunately, the old aunt and grandma were also there at this time, and after hearing this, she asked back: "I said his second uncle, logically speaking, I am just a concubine, and I have no part to speak here, but I have to ask you a question, daughter of the Xie family What did you, the patriarch, do when the Jiang family was beaten and lost their children? Now that we have reconciled so easily, you come to ask us why we didn’t tell you? Why did we tell you? We expect you to give My daughter seeks justice or what?"

Xie Yujiao stopped at the door and couldn't help laughing. The second old man was so angry that his beard was shaking, and he was trying to answer, Xie Yujiao said: "I don't think it's necessary to say, the daughter of Xie's family went back to Xie's house, Hua Xie's house Does my aunt have anything to do with the clan? Could it be that my aunt is raised by the clan?" After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she just smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, Second Uncle, everything for the Mid-Autumn Festival is ready. , are stored in the counting room of the outer courtyard, you can go home early after you pick up your things, the road is not easy to walk in the dark."

The implication of Xie Yujiao's words was that although the daughter of the Xie family did not depend on the family to support them, the Xie family really did support a bunch of idlers from the family!

Hearing the words, the second old lady was furious, and said, "You...you...you girl, do you know what kind of reputation you are now? You have lost the reputation of the Xie family, so you are ashamed to come here What are you doing to me! Be careful that you won't get married in the future!"

"If you don't get married, you won't grow old, you always worry about it!"

Originally, Xie Yujiao didn't care about these reputations. Even if she couldn't get married, she would take care of the Xie family's business in the future. Wouldn't it be fun for her to have money, hire bodyguards, and go out for a tour?Isn't it necessary to marry for the sake of marrying?She has no shortage of that cucumber.

When Mrs. Xu heard the words, she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Second Uncle, don't be angry, Jiaojiao, please apologize to Second Uncle, it's a big festival, what are you doing with your family!"

Xie Yujiao knew that Xu didn't really blame her, but just put on a show, so she gave the second old lady a little blessing.Mrs. Xu only hurriedly said: "Second uncle, don't be angry, Jiaojiao is just a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and there are holiday gifts for you outside! I heard that your second daughter-in-law just gave you a grandson a few days ago , it’s really gratifying and congratulatory!”

The second old man saw that Mrs. Xu gave him the steps, so he didn't say anything, and just went to the front yard with the servants to get things.

Xie Yujiao glanced at it in distaste. Thinking about it, she still felt depressed. She just sat down and said pettyly: "I saw that I gave them things during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't give them anything when I stayed at home to feed the mice."

Seeing Xie Yujiao like this, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sighed, and persuaded: "Jiaojiao, don't be angry about these things, if the business is over today, come here earlier, and our family will also have a reunion meal."

Xie Yujiao had nothing else to do at the moment, so she simply accompanied Mrs. Xu to the main courtyard. Seeing that the two were leaving, the old aunt stepped forward and said, "The family is still keeping filial piety. What kind of reunion dinner do we have? Aunt and grandma eat together, and you eat yours."

It has been almost a month since my aunt went back to Xie's house, and she is actually in good health.But now Xu Yuxing is also living in Xie's house, one is Heli's daughter-in-law, and the other is a widowed man, so it is necessary to avoid suspicion.Usually Xu Yuxing only walks around the outer courtyard, so it doesn't matter, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu must have invited him in for a reunion dinner.
