The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 60

"The few of us heard that Mrs. Mrs. Xie is dying, so I came here to ask Mrs. Xie, do we want to visit together together? Mr. Kang has been here for more than a year, although the tax money has not been less , but anyway, he is also dedicated to his duties, so that our side is safe and secure, and our business is also convenient and safe." The one who spoke was Mrs. Qi, a silk and satin business in Jiangning County. The business is doing very well. The tenants in several villages of the Xie family grow mulberry and raise silkworms, and all the raw silk is supplied to their families. The two families can be regarded as having business contacts.

Mrs. Xu used to live in seclusion. Since she had Xie Chaozong, she has devoted herself to taking care of her children. All the outside things were told by Xie Yujiao when she came back. She heard that Mrs. Kang was ill. I brought a lot of ginseng and angelica and sent them there. Now that I heard people say this, I just wondered: "You are already so sick? I just heard that I had a cold during confinement, and it didn't heal. It will be fine in two months, how did you expect it to be so heavy?"

Another lady who just went to visit a few days ago said: "I'm so thin that I think it's hard. I heard that the doctors in this area have been invited all over, and everyone's prescriptions are similar. It's delicious. It’s useless, Master Kang has already sent someone to the capital to invite a doctor, but I don’t know if I can catch up with it. In fact, I think it’s useless to invite a doctor. It can't be saved either."

Xie Yujiao looked at this group of wives and grandmas chattering, and became more and more worried. In this ancient times, it is really impossible to get sick, and any illness may kill you.This kind of disease is nothing at all in modern times, but in ancient times, it is as scary as monsters and monsters. No wonder I just had a cold and fever last time, so scared that Xu couldn't sleep peacefully at night.

"Now that we've reached this point, we definitely have to go see it. It's just that there are so many of us going together, so we're afraid of disturbing her. People who are sick are more likely to think wildly. It's not good if she thinks too much. That's why we came here to ask Mrs. Xie what you think? You also know that our family has always listened to your Xie family, and we will do what you say." Mrs. Qi just looked at Mrs. Xu spoke slowly, and everyone nodded accordingly.

Xie Yujiao lowered her head and thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Since all the wives are here, let's discuss it. In my opinion, those who have visited before don't need to go again. Who hasn't been there? Let's talk about it." Well, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, let's go over and take a look together. As for gifts, I think they are just supplements such as ginseng and deer antler. I'm afraid there is no shortage of other things at the county grandpa's house. Why don't you just do whatever you want? gone."

When everyone heard the words, they just nodded. Now, these wives and grandmas don't know how powerful Xie Yujiao is. Xie Yujiao's reputation may sound scary, but it can't hide her ability. If she didn't want her son to step in, think about how such a daughter-in-law would be prosperous after all.

"I went with Mrs. Wei last time, so I won't go this time. It's good if you come back and tell us about the situation." Mrs. Qi just said.

The young lady from Maju's family in the next town over there also followed suit and said, "I'll follow Mrs. Xie to take a look. Now that my master is rushing for the exam in the capital, the family is busy with things, so I haven't visited yet."

After everyone discussed it properly, they decided to visit Mrs. Kang at the county government office the next day. Xie Yujiao personally sent everyone out. When they returned to Xu's courtyard, they saw that Xie Chaozong had woken up. Aunt Shen had just fed him. At this moment, Mrs. Xu is hugging him, burping him along the back!The little guy stared at Mrs. Xu with his round eyeballs open, then suddenly his eyes widened, his stomach gurgled, and he hiccupped.

Mrs. Xu pinched his little cheek affectionately, and said with a smile: "You little guy, you eat and sleep all day long, and you eat when you sleep, so you don't have to worry about anything. I feel sorry for your sister, who has been busy since morning. Haven't had a break yet!"

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao stretched out her arms to hug Xie Chaozong, shook her twice and said, "It's okay, when I'm old, I'll be blessed and let him take care of me!"

Seeing that Xie Yujiao was shaking twice in her arms, Mrs. Xu said hastily: "He just ate his fill, so take it easy and don't shake the milk out."

Xie Yujiao was so happy that she still couldn't help shaking twice, and said with a smile, "I know! He burped just now, so he won't shake it out."

Seeing Xie Yujiao's love for children, Mrs. Xu thought that if Master Xie hadn't left, Xie Yujiao would have left the cabinet at this age, and she might even have her own children. She sighed again, feeling that she owed Xie Yujiao too much. many.

"Mother, it's okay, why are you sighing again?"

Xu was afraid that she would be unhappy if she said Xie Yujiao, so she smiled and said: "I see that you spoil Chaozong so much, and you will spoil him in the future."

"No way!" Xie Yujiao sat down, put Xie Chaozong upright on her knees, and asked him pretendingly while holding his back: "Chaozong, you said that sister will spoil you?" ?"

Although Xie Chaozong is small, his ability is first-rate, and he likes to giggle at pretty girls when he meets a beautiful girl, so he usually doesn't appreciate it when the maids hug him, but as long as Xie Yujiao hugs him, he will obediently stare at her. His eyes are big, and he looks like he can understand the words.

Seeing that little figure, Mrs. Xu thought it was funny, came over and bent over and asked him: "Our Chaozong sits upright, so you listen to your sister like this, you are really a good baby!"

The saliva at the corner of Xie Chaozong's mouth was too much to hold back. Xu took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and suddenly felt that his upper gums were hard, so he couldn't help but opened it to take a look, and exclaimed: : "Ah, our Chaozong has teeth!"

Even for modern children, it is too early to have teeth at six months, not to mention that Xie Chaozong has only just turned five months, so it is strange to have teeth at this time.Aunt Shen also came out of the room when she heard Xu Shi's words, her face was still blushing, "No wonder I think he's drooling a lot these days, and he's not honest when breastfeeding, he always bites and bites, Did it turn out to be long teeth?"

When the two mothers talked about this matter, they started endlessly. Mrs. Xu only smiled and hugged Xie Chaozong, carefully opened his beeping mouth, pointed it to Aunt Shen, and said with a smile: "Look at this hard piece, isn't it a tooth? Ouch, it must be because your milk is good, that's why Chaozong grows so well!"

Aunt Shen stretched her neck to look, and she saw a piece of tender red gum, maybe there were really small teeth inside, but she couldn't see it right now, but she was still beaming with joy.Xie Yujiao looked at the state of the two of them, patted her empty hand, and said with a smile: "Mother said just now that I dote on my younger brother! Who is doting on him more at this moment? There is no sign of this tooth yet. I can feel the hard ones!"

When the two heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

After dinner in the evening, Xie Yujiao told Mrs. Xu about the gifts she was going to see Mrs. Kang, and they were nothing more than some nourishing bird's nest and ginseng.Although I don't know if Mrs. Kang has this blessing to share now, but it is their heart after all.

"You said that in a woman's life, if she gives birth to a child and fails to take care of her body, it will be a disaster for the rest of her life. Now that I think about it, I was only thinking about protecting the child. I was wrong. No matter how important it is, human life is not important. , You said that if Mrs. Kang went away at this time, leaving Mrs. Kang with a baby, what should I do?"

Seeing that Mrs. Xu was talking and talking, Xie Yujiao became worried again, she just smiled and said: "It's fine for mother to take care of her own affairs, and she still has the mind to worry about other people's families. Didn't Master Kang go to the capital to invite a doctor? Maybe wait for the doctor As soon as it comes, Mrs. Kang will be cured by the medicine?"

"It's best to be like this. They can live in peace and safety. This is more important than anything else." Xu Shi said, and then said: "I haven't seen your uncle for several days. What is he doing outside recently?"

"Uncle said that although the north was beaten hard, the south is very peaceful. He is collecting raw silk and this year's new tea these days. He plans to send people to Quanzhou, take a boat to sea, and earn some money back!"

"You can't earn enough money. You have to keep him this time, and you can't let him go by himself. Now that Huiru is grown up, and the Xu family is not filial, you should find her a husband's family." Mrs. Xu There are only a few important things on my mind now, so I always keep them in mind.

Xie Yujiao thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, so she said, "Now that my aunt is gone and there is only my uncle alone, it is inevitable that I have been negligent in this matter. Mother might as well ask my uncle what kind of husband's family she plans to find for Huiru. Whether you already have a candidate in your heart is worse than being in a hurry like headless chickens like us."

Mrs. Xu saw that Xie Yujiao's words made sense, so she just nodded her head and said, "In that case, I'll ask your uncle next time what he thinks. When your cousin is out of the court, maybe your uncle can figure it out a bit. Take advantage of your youth, marry another wife, at least leave a queen for the Xu family!"

Xie Yujiao knew that Xu's talk would be endless, so she smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I have to go out tomorrow! Mother also loves me, let me go back to sleep earlier!"

Seeing Xie Yujiao acting coquettishly again, Mrs. Xu just smiled helplessly, and asked her servant girl to send her back to Xiulou.

It was not too late at this time, and Xu Huiru's room was still lit. Xie Yujiao went in and saw that she was doing embroidery work with her head down, so she asked her, "Who is this for? It's worth driving out in a hurry." ?”

Xu Huiru blushed, thought for a while and said, "The monkey back embroidery didn't look good last time, so I made a new one."

Xie Yujiao had heard earlier that Xu Huiru's maternal ancestral family had a cousin who was about seventeen or eighteen years old and not yet married, so he should have reached the age for marriage.Xie Yujiao really couldn't figure out that Xu Huiru lived in a secluded place. Besides her cousin from her ancestral family, who else could Xu Huiru give this thing to?
