The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 48

In fact, Xie Yujiao didn't understand why there was such a thing as avoiding suspicion. Even if the ancients liked to play tricks, there must be some basis for it.However, since my aunt and grandma have already said so, there is nothing to delve into. Whether it is a festival or not, it is nothing more than a dinner.

Mrs. Xie understands what the old aunt and grandma mean, and she is quite grateful after all. Usually Xu Yuxing is away all year round and has no time to stay at home. The two of them really don't have much time to chat. It is rare to have a reunion dinner and chat together. , naturally the best.

Xie Yujiao accompanied Mrs. Xu back to the main courtyard, but a servant outside came in and said that Xu Yuxing took Dawei to the city for the festival.Mrs. Xu was inevitably a little disappointed when she heard this, but thinking that the family is full of women, it is really boring for Xu Yu to be an old man. play a trip.

Now that Xu Yuxing has gone out, Xu doesn't have to worry about avoiding suspicion. I'm afraid that the old aunt, the eldest aunt, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Zhu will all be invited over to have a reunion dinner together.

Xie Yujiao looked at the table full of yin and yang, and felt strange, what was missing.

The eldest aunt looked at Aunt Shen's belly, and said with concern: "I'm going to give birth in two months, right? You look pretty good."

Aunt Shen has been living in a secluded place recently to raise a baby. After the eldest aunt came back, Xu felt that it was not convenient for her to see a confinement child when she was pregnant, so she was not willing to let her go. Today is the first time for the two of them. See you, you are not unfamiliar, just chat.

"I heard from the doctor that the baby will be born at the end of next month." After all, Aunt Shen was becoming a mother for the first time, and she felt somewhat uneasy, and because the baby was not easy to come by, now the whole family is counting on her belly. It is inevitable that the pressure is a bit high, especially when she hears others say that she wants to get a man in one fell swoop, Aunt Shen feels very guilty.

Fortunately, Xie Yujiao never cared about men and women, because she knew that men and women were determined by men. No matter how everyone thinks now, gender cannot be changed, so it's better to let nature take its course.

"Then you have to move around more this month, and you will have a good baby then, and the weather will be cold again, and it will be inconvenient to confine yourself to confinement. At this time, you should also find a nanny, so that you will not have enough milk and the child will be pitiful. "My aunt is here, and she understands all these things very well, and she speaks out one thing after another.

Mrs. Xu listened with a smile on her face, and said: "Nurse is already looking for, only Xie's house, there are only a few families who have given birth to babies in the past few months, and there will definitely be no shortage of nurses by then."

The eldest aunt knew that Mrs. Xu was a decent person, and seeing that Aunt Shen's complexion was rosy and she was well-raised, she was not worried anymore, she just sighed and said: "If this is a boy, then it will be fine."

Aunt Shen's face changed slightly when she heard this, and the smile on her face became more awkward, Xie Yujiao smiled and said: "At this time, men and women are settled, and it is best to be a man and a woman. I also despise having a younger sister." , they are my father’s children anyway.”

When the aunt saw Xie Yujiao say that, she knew that she had made a mistake, so she picked up Baozhu beside her and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, anyway, Baozhu in our family has younger siblings to play with, right?"

Baozhu thought that the eldest aunt asked her whether the child in Aunt Shen's belly was a boy or a girl, so she pouted and said, "Auntie's belly is a little brother, that's a little brother!"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Because Xu Yuxing was not around, Xu Huiru was very quiet at the banquet. Who knew that Aunt Liu, who was usually silent all the time, suddenly asked, "Why isn't uncle here on the day of the reunion?"

In fact, everyone at the banquet knew that Xu Yuxing probably didn't come to avoid suspicion, but no one really asked. Now that she asked such a question, everyone laughed a little awkwardly, and Xu smiled and said: "He and that Dawei has gone out, and the festival is also lively outside the city, and they have a few friends drinking together, it's better than staying with us pussies."

If there is anything interesting about Jinling City, Aunt Shen and Xu Huiru probably don't know about it.Qinhuai prostitutes are a special feature, Xie Yujiao feels that Xu Yuxing has no sequel now, and it is normal if he goes out to drink flower wine, and people in the business field will inevitably have to play tricks on the spot.If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known Aunt Liu back then, and bought it back from Yangzhou to be a concubine for Mr. Xie.

It's just that now that Aunt Liu asked these words, Xie Yujiao felt that something was wrong.Xie Yujiao raised her head, glanced at Aunt Liu lightly, and saw that her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her veins were full of affection. This appearance is really first-class, but it's just that her life is a little bit harder.

After the dinner was over in the evening, Mrs. Xu left Xie Yujiao behind. Xie Yujiao knew that Mrs. Xu couldn't hide things in her stomach, so she sat down and drank Xiaoshi tea while waiting for Mrs. Xu to speak.

Mrs. Xu came out from the inner room with a look of sadness on her face. Seeing Xie Yujiao drinking tea there, she said, "Jiaojiao, there is something I want to tell you. Your uncle said that most of the business is now closed. In the city, there have been a lot of things at home in the past two years, and he doesn't want to go out anymore, so he wants to move to the city."

In fact, Xu Yuxing and himself mentioned this matter a few days ago. Xie Yujiao didn't agree at the beginning because she was afraid that Mrs. Xu would not agree. Unexpectedly, Xu Yuxing himself told Mrs. Xu.But now, hearing Xu's tone, it doesn't seem like he doesn't agree. After all, this is Xie's family. If Xu Hui is a girl, she will live as long as she lives, but Xu Yuxing, as the head of Xu's family, can't always live under the fence like this. with.

"My uncle told me about this, and I think it makes sense. It is true that most of the shops in the business are in the city. It is hard to run back and forth like this. Besides, it is not that the Xu family does not have a house in the city. It is just that uncle is alone. Living here will inevitably be deserted, and my cousin is at this age now, it is not convenient for her to go back to live..."

Xie Yujiao hadn't finished speaking, Xu just said again: "That's the reason, he is a big man with only a servant by his side, it is really inconvenient to live alone, but he doesn't want to continue, and I can't force it, now that I think about it Go, it's better to give Aunt Liu to him and let him take her there, even if she is a maid, at least there is still such a person who knows the cold and the hot."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she lowered her eyes. There were a lot of things going on these few days, and she didn't often come to Xu's yard except for three meals a day, but I heard that Aunt Liu often came to visit.But Xie Yujiao also clearly remembered that before Xu Yuxing came back, Aunt Liu lived in her small courtyard, and she didn't leave the gate without going out.

With the combination of the two sides, Xie Yujiao immediately understood a little bit, no wonder Aunt Liu would mention Xu Yu's trip at dinner at night, it turned out that she had such thoughts in mind.

"Mother, is this your own idea, or Aunt Liu's idea?"

Seeing Xie Yujiao's question, Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I originally wanted to choose someone for your uncle, and Aunt Liu was bought by your uncle. They must have known each other before, and now your father is gone." , Aunt Liu is still young, and she has no children under her knees, so I am embarrassed to let her guard like me."

When Xie Yujiao heard what Xu said, she knew that it was probably what Aunt Liu said in Xu's ear. Xu was kind and soft-hearted, so she agreed after a while.

"Let's not mention whether this matter is suitable or not. Did mother ask uncle what he meant? If uncle liked Aunt Liu, why would he buy her back and be a concubine for dad?"

Mrs. Xu was so questioned that she couldn't answer, so she said: "At that time, I was angry with my aunt and grandma, so I asked your uncle to buy it. As long as it looks good, I don't think much about other things."

In fact, Xie Yujiao still has sympathy for the ill-fated women, otherwise she would not have risked her reputation to help her aunt to seek justice.But this Aunt Liu looked a bit ill-intentioned, when Mrs. Xu approached her earlier to ask her to express her opinion, she spoke like a chaste martyr, she turned her head and thought of hooking up with Xu Yuxing, what kind of thing is that? ?What's more, Xu Yuxing is single now, so logically he should find a continuation. She leaned over at this time, so it doesn't look like she is going to be a concubine?

"In my opinion, mother should ask uncle what he means in this matter. Although uncle is in business now, he is still a disciplined person. There is no unclean person around him. No matter what Aunt Liu said, she never said anything. If it came from that kind of place, there is no guarantee that the new aunt in the future will not dislike it, and my mother wrote it with good intentions, but I must not harm my uncle."

Mrs. Xu thought it was very simple at first, and she also thought that Aunt Liu had been a lowly girl in front of her these few days. She only said that when Xu Yu was about to redeem her, she thought she was going to follow him, but later she realized that she was here to thank her The master was a concubine, and now that the master is gone, she saw that the uncle was still alone, and thinking of the kindness that redeemed her that day, she wanted to be a maid in front of him.

The Xu family had been looking for candidates for Xu Yuhang, and seeing what Aunt Liu said, she agreed. After all, Xie Yujiao didn't think so long-term.

Mrs. Xu now heard that Xie Yujiao's analysis made some sense, so she said, "Since you say that, then I really want to ask your uncle. If he also thinks it's good, then let Aunt Liu go with you." , if he doesn't have this idea, then forget it, and find a family for Aunt Liu at that time, and it will be the same to match her out."

Although Xie Yujiao didn't have much contact with Xu Yuxing, she still knew a little bit about Xu Yuxing. He hasn't rejoined him now, probably because firstly, he didn't meet his favorite candidate, and secondly, he felt that Xu Huiru was too old to leave the court soon. There is no need to make Xu Huiru unhappy at this time.In fact, most of the divorced and widowed people who have not had a second marriage are mostly for their children.

"What mother said is that since Aunt Liu has already made such an idea, no matter whether uncle wants her or not, it's not good for the family to keep her, so as not to make some scandal in the future, but make daddy wear a cuckold instead."

Hearing Xie Yujiao's tone, Mrs. Xu felt a little unhappy, and didn't say anything more for a while, just lowered her head and thought about her own thoughts.
