The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 67

The old aunt raised her head and glanced at the eldest aunt, and saw that her face was calm and there was no extra emotion, so she couldn't help but sighed.The child I gave birth to knows well that my aunt may not have any thoughts about Xu Yuxing, and even if she did, she probably won't say a word.How to pierce this layer of window paper, the old aunt also found it difficult.

"A few days ago, I heard from my wife that she proposed to marry you. Have you asked yourself, how is your family's character? Although you are a daughter of Xie's family, you can't really live in Xie's family forever, can you?" The old aunt only spoke. road.

The eldest aunt's face changed, she let go of the hand holding the old aunt, lowered her head and said: "Madam and Jiaojiao are not in a hurry yet, are you in a hurry to drive me away first? You hate me as a girl and let you It's embarrassing, isn't it?"

Seeing that the eldest aunt was a little angry, the old aunt didn't continue talking, but said in a broken voice: "Yeah, I don't care about the affairs of this family. I'm just a person who eats, drinks, and waits to die. What do you like?" That's it, I can't control it anymore, I'll go into the house to see my granddaughter."

The great aunt saw the old aunt limping in, but she had nothing to refute, she just walked over with a smile, continued to support her and said, "If you can really think that way, that's fine."

The time passed quickly, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Kang's funeral was completed, and Liu Fugen took the time to report back, saying that Mrs. Kang had written a letter to the court in person, begging to help Mrs. Kang back to her home Beijing, the court will be able to approve this matter by the end of May at the earliest. By then, I am afraid that Mr. Kang will not be in Jiangning for two or three months.

For Xie Yujiao, whether Kang Guangshou is in Jiangning or not has nothing to do with her. The only advantage is that when this year's autumn harvest, Kang Guangshou will not come to the field to see the yield of each mu in person, nor will he know that this year's Xie family How much additional grain has been collected? If only according to last year's tax, the extra grain can be sold to grain merchants, and they can earn a lot of money.

When Xie Yujiao returned to Xu's courtyard, before it was time to set up dinner, Xie Yujiao ate a little less at noon, so Xu asked the maid to go to the kitchen to warm up a red bean dumpling for Xie Yujiao, peeled it herself, and dipped it in sugar. give her.

There was no soft white sugar in this ancient time. When Xie Yujiao ate zongzi for the first time, she felt that the white sugar was too thick and difficult to swallow. They were all ground into flour-like fine particles, and now they are eaten after dipping, and it is much more delicious.

Xie Yujiao glanced at the powdered sugar on the zongzi, and knew that Xu Shi usually cared about such small things the most. She felt very relieved. Originally, Xie Yujiao thought that with Xie Chaozong now, Xu Shi would probably not I hurt myself as much as before, but now that I think about it, it's because I have too much heart!
"Mother, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, will you go to Nanshan Lake with me to watch the dragon boat race?" Xie Yujiao had already inquired about it, and there will be many people going to the dragon boat race tomorrow.Originally, now that Mr. Xie is gone, Tao Laixi will arrange this matter as well. Few of those country gentry and landowners would not give Housekeeper Tao face, but if Xie Yujiao went in person, the scene would be even more different.

The Xu family no longer hinders Xie Yujiao from showing her face. The lintel of the Xie family is supported by Xie Yujiao. In the future, she will find a son-in-law, so she must go out. It would be better to take this opportunity to make more friends .It's just that Mrs. Xu is used to staying in the inner house, and now she doesn't want to go out, so she said: "I won't go tomorrow, I will go to the Dragon King Temple in Yinlong Mountain with Mama Zhang to burn incense, and bless your dragon boat race smoothly Good for profit."

Xie Yujiao just smiled and said, "That's fine, but Yinlong Mountain and Nanshan Lake are not on the way, so I can't go with my mother tomorrow."

Mrs. Xu saw that Xie Yujiao had some powdered sugar on her lips, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "You play with yourself, remember to bring a few more people to follow, and by the way, ask your cousin, if If she wants to go too, you can take her with you, just bring a few more maids to follow and watch her carefully."

Xu Huiru heard about the dragon boat race early in the morning, and wanted to ask Xie Yujiao to take her with her, but she was afraid that Xu Yuxing would not agree, so she had been depressed for several days. Now that she heard that Xie Yujiao invited her, she just pulled Xie Yujiao flipped through the closet, looking for clothes to wear tomorrow!

Seeing Xu Huiru's happy look, Xie Yujiao thought that the place where the dragon boat races were held was lively. According to Liu Fugen, there were small vendors selling things nearby, making it look like a temple fair, so she simply sent someone to the aunt's place to ask. , do you want to take Baozhen and Baozhu to play together?
The aunt and grandma quickly sent someone to call back, saying that the weather was hot and they were afraid that there would be too many people, so they decided not to go.Xie Yujiao thinks about it, the aunt and grandma are now at home with Li, and only by staying at Xie's house can they be isolated from those gossips.

The next morning, Xie Yujiao deliberately woke up early, leaving enough time for the maids to dress themselves.The clothes were chosen last night, a set of pink and white satin plackets with gold trim, because Xie's family is still in filial piety, naturally those bright colors cannot be worn.But if I'm going out to meet people today, if I'm too clean, I'll look a bit bland after all.This pink and white is inlaid with gold trim, which reveals a bit of nobility when you look at it.

The flowing fairy skirt on the lower body is also pink and white, only a few light purple lilac flowers are embroidered on the skirt, which makes it elegant and agile when walking.Xie Yujiao's complexion was as white as jade, and she basically didn't use any makeup. The tip of her eyebrows was slightly drawn, and her eyes were only a little more eager than before.

Zi Yan combed Xie Yujiao into a peach heart bun, and dropped a pearl the size of a longan on the place of the peach heart. She showed Xie Yujiao a small mirror and said, "Last time, I asked my father to re- I don’t know when the Linghua mirror that I went to buy in the jewelry workshop will be delivered, it’s been a while.”

After the Linghua mirror was lost last year, everyone thought it was misplaced indiscriminately, and they didn't deliberately look for it. After a while, Xie Yujiao didn't see it, so Xie Yujiao let Ziyan quietly send a message to Liu Fugen, let him Go to the city to find the craftsman who made the mirror, and make a new one that is exactly the same.

It turned out that the Linghua mirror was drawn by Mr. Xie himself when Xie Yu was young, and the artisans in his jewelry workshop typed it up and gave it to Xie Yujiao. It is the only one in this world.Although the current Xie Yujiao and Boss Xie have no father-daughter relationship, she just traveled here, and Boss Xie went to kill everyone, but this Linghua mirror is also left to him by him. If it is really lost, if Xu knows about it in the future, I'm afraid it will be sad.

"Tomorrow, you can ask your father for me, is the Linghua mirror finished? If it is ready, send it in earlier."

Ziyan just nodded and said: "Then I will ask him when I see him tonight."

In Jinling City, Zhou Tianhao was wearing a moon-white robe with silver silk and dark patterns, and was sitting casually and chicly on the second floor of a teahouse by the window.Not far from the teahouse was a jewelry shop. Zhou Tianhao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, seeing Yun Song coming out of the jewelry shop with his head downcast.

"My lord, this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How can I find it? This is the tenth store, and the boss said he has never sold such a rhombic mirror." Yun Song only frowned and replied, "But the boss is I really like this mirror, and I even asked where I got it from, and if I could sell it to him, and asked for ten taels of silver!"

It turned out that Zhou Tianhao had been with Kang Guangshou in the county government office for a few days, now that he was a little relieved, he also started looking for the owner of the Linghua Mirror.

Zhou Tianhao first looked for it in the jewelry workshop in Jiangning County, but after the shopkeeper there saw it, he said that the workmanship was exquisite, and at first glance, it was not something that a small workshop in a small county like theirs could make. It was played in a famous jewelry store in Jinling City.

When Zhou Tianhao got the news, he brought Yun Song into Jinling City. After a whole day, he had already visited a dozen or so jewelry workshops.

"What do you know, jewelry workshops don't sell Linghua mirrors, so where can they sell them?" Zhou Tianhao picked up the folding fan and knocked Yun Song on the head, suddenly the fan made a lump, and a bone of the fan broke off.Zhou Tianhao looked at the outfit he used to wear, but now he went to the battlefield, held the sword and spear in his hand, and then picked up the fan, something seemed wrong.

Zhou Tianhao's face darkened, he threw the fan aside casually, and said seriously: "After I say it, you are not allowed to call me little prince. We are private patrols in micro-services, private patrols in micro-services, do you understand?"

Yun Song shrank his head, glanced at the serious Zhou Tianhao, then at the fan that he had knocked off, and said in a low voice: "Slave...slave knows, that little...no no, master, let's continue Do you want to know?"

"Inquire, why don't you inquire?" Zhou Tianhao looked up at the passers-by on the street, and only said, "When I finish drinking this cup of tea, let's move on to the next one."

As for the jewelry shop that Yun Song had inquired about just now, the old shopkeeper came out of the shop, looked around at the door, and saw that the customer just left, so he turned back to the shop and told the shop assistant: " My uncle is not in the city these few days, so I will write a letter, and you will send it to Xie's house immediately to the second housekeeper."

It turned out that this jewelry shop was opened by Xie's family, and the Linghua mirror that Xie Yujiao lost was also made by the craftsmen in this shop.In the past few days, the craftsmen happened to finish the mirror that Liu Fugen ordered to be remade, but a young man with a non-local accent came and held Xie Yujiao's original mirror in his hand. Isn't it surprising?
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the mirror, he became suspicious. He thought that it was stolen from the Xie family, so he deliberately said it looked good, and offered a moderate price, intending to buy it, but who knew that the person would not Selling made it difficult for the shopkeeper.

The big girl's things fell into the hands of a foreigner, after all it was not good, so the old shopkeeper had no choice but to write a letter back immediately to report back to Liu Fugen.
