Chapter 7

Xie Yujiao looked coldly at Mrs. Xu talking to the old aunt, and seeing the maids still kneeling on the ground, she said, "Get up, all of you, as long as you know how to do it in the future, slaves have to be careful." The duty of a slave, don't think that your wife is nice, so you can push your nose on your face."

The old aunt over there was about to talk about Mrs. Zhao, but she choked on Xie Yujiao's words, and almost fainted in anger. These words were all about Sang and Huai, and she thought she couldn't understand it!
But this time she came to beg for help, even if she heard it, she had to bite the bullet and do it.

When Mrs. Xu heard Xie Yujiao say this, she only turned her head to look at her, and said softly, "Jiaojiao, don't get so angry in the future, your lungs are full of fire this spring, and you will hurt yourself like this." Turning her head again Tell Zhang's mother: "Let the kitchen cook a cup of pear bird's nest in a while, and let the girl go to the fire."

The old aunt and grandma looked at the mother and daughter's double reed, and felt that she was really going to be angry, so she watched Xu finish her sentence with a froze face.Mrs. Xu gave orders to Mama Zhang, and then she turned around and started talking to the old aunt again, only frowning and said: "Where did I just say, I forgot."

The old aunt's complexion changed again and again, holding her breath and said: "It's nothing, just..." The old aunt hadn't finished speaking, and the maid outside came in and said: "Madam, the three aunts have come to greet Madam. "

Xie Yujiao lowered her head and smiled secretly. Early this morning, she called the servant girl to pass the message to Xiaokuayuan, telling them to come to the main room to pay their respects at midnight.The three aunts didn't know what Mrs. Xu had to order for a while, so they all came here in a regular manner.

The old aunt heard that the three aunts were coming, but before she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Aunt Fang. Aunt Fang smiled awkwardly, her face was blank.

Although there is a daily greeting in the house, but in order to save trouble, Mrs. Xu never restricts all the aunts to pay their respects, so Aunt Fang has never been seen in the greeting team, so today all the aunts come to pay their respects Of course, she doesn't know anything.

The old aunt and grandma came here in a threatening manner, holding a burst of anger and wanting to explode, but now she was interrupted two or three times, and she was already so angry that she couldn't speak clearly.I'm afraid that with this posture, even if she said it, Xu would only help Xie Yujiao.The old aunt suddenly felt a pain in her chest, and said with a forced smile: "It's nothing. Since my wife is busy here, I'll leave first."

Seeing that the old aunt and grandma were leaving, Xu was relieved. She didn't want outsiders to say that Master Xie had just passed away, so she would treat the old aunt and grandma harshly. The country people tend to spread rumors, and there is always nothing good to say.

As soon as the old aunt and grandma left, Xie Yujiao asked the servant girl to invite the three aunts in. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xu knew that it must be Xie Yujiao's idea, so she frowned and said, "It doesn't matter what you called them to come over. matter."

Xie Yujiao then smiled and said: "Didn't mother say to ask them what they mean? I thought that this is a big matter after all, and it should be discussed in a long-term way, so I invited the aunts over, and mother asked personally, so that they could Go back and discuss it with your family and make a choice in the future."

Mrs. Xu heard that she was reasonable, so she said, "In this case, I should call Aunt Fang and ask together."

Xie Yujiao raised her beautiful eyebrows, and said disdainfully: "Mother still asked her what to do? Didn't she beg her old aunt to come in? It's so easy to get what she wants, so why don't you go out again? Mother, don't worry too much This is the thing!"

Seeing Xie Yujiao's childish temper again, Mrs. Xu couldn't laugh or cry, pinched her creamy cheeks, poked her forehead with her fingers and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a bad idea here! "

Xie Yujiao pursed her lips and smiled, and after a while the maids had already cleared the table, Xie Yujiao stood up, holding the teacup brought by the maids, and went inside.

A few aunts outside were waiting, seeing the old aunt and grandma coming out with a dark face, they became more and more suspicious of what happened inside, each of them felt a little uneasy, and followed the maidservants in with their skirts up.

Seeing Xie Yujiao go in, Mrs. Xu also knew that she was a big girl, so naturally she couldn't talk about these things, so she went with her. Seeing that the aunts came in all in plain clothes, with a bit of sadness on their faces, her mood suddenly changed. I feel a little sad.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Xu is really good to Mr. Xie wholeheartedly, that is, the selected concubines, except for the first one who was angry with the old aunt and grandma, invited his brother cruelly, and went to Yangzhou to buy an unmarried concubine. When the skinny horse came back, the other two were all daughters of innocent people nearby. Although there were no third-match and six-hired ones, they were good concubines who were brought in in a bridal sedan chair.

Although Mrs. Xu has no sisterly relationship with them, they are all kind and courteous. All food and clothing expenses are paid according to the aunt of a wealthy family in the capital. In such a small place, if the aunt's family is not greedy , relying on my aunt alone, it is no problem to support a large family.

Moreover, Mrs. Xu is a generous person, and there are rewards every year and festivals, so it will be even more generous. These aunts are divided into board and lodging, and they don't spend a few silver.

Mrs. Xu looked at them at the same age as young and light flowers, but they were a few years older than Xie Yujiao. If it weren't for the family's difficulties, she would definitely not want to enter Xie's house to be Master Xie's concubine. After all, they were delayed.

Mrs. Xu sighed and said: "Master just left now, logically I shouldn't say these things at this time, it's just that you are all children of a good family, when you came to Xie's house, although you were willing, there are some difficulties for you, now The master has gone, and I will not force you to stay, you go back and discuss it with your family, if there is another way out, just tell me, I will definitely make your thoughts come true."

When the three of them heard this, their eyes turned red, and they didn't know what to say for a while. They were all concubines, and they were brought in by Mrs. Xu. They had no personal relationship with Mr. Xie before, although they served some In life, I really don’t have any deep feelings. I just feel that Mr. Xie is mature and stable, and treats others generously. thought about it.

One is that Mr. Xie just passed away, so his wife is thinking of remarrying since his bones are not yet cold; the other is that while staying at Xie's house, although it is a bit lonely, it is good to be able to take care of the whole family anyway.Therefore, when Mrs. Xu mentioned this matter, although the three of them were grateful, none of them responded.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Mrs. Xu was about to ask another question, when Aunt Liu knelt down with red eyes and said, "Madam knows me, and I was sold to that kind of place since I was a child. It wasn’t that my wife bought me back then, I’m afraid I’ve already died countless times, and now the master is gone, but the wife is still there, and the servants stay at Xie’s house, serving the wife all their lives.”

After Aunt Liu finished speaking, the other two aunts also knelt down and said, "Madam, please don't drive us away, we are all willing to serve Madam for a long time."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was speechless for a while, and then looked at the other two aunts and said: "You both have family members, don't rush to answer, just discuss it with your family members, and I will do the same when you come back. Although it is still early to say these things, I want you to know what I am thinking, so that if you have other thoughts, you dare not say it, and you end up making some jokes, which would be disgraceful."

The master died in this big family, and the aunt couldn't hold back and remarried, so it's not a shameful thing, but if you guard it openly and steal a man secretly, if a joke is made, it will be disgusting. !
The two aunts were all on the same mind at first, but after hearing Mrs. Xu's words, they didn't dare to brag about their chests any more, so they both nodded and said, "Then we will obey your wife's orders first, and wait until this period is over." In the next year, bring this matter up to the family again.”

Seeing what they said, Mrs. Xu felt a little touched, she just nodded and said: "There is nothing else, you go back first, I will go to Xikuayuan to accompany the master."

Aunt Liu got up, stepped forward to support Xu Shi and said, "Madam, I will go with you."

The two aunts Shen and Zhu are usually better. Before marrying into Xie's family, they were still sisters of Xie's house, so they left Xu's main courtyard together and chatted in private.

"You said that the wife told us this, is it for our own good, or is she trying to drive us away?" Aunt Shen wondered in her heart.

Aunt Zhu saw Aunt Shen's expression of worrying about gains and losses, so she comforted her: "Of course my wife is kind, and she doesn't want us to guard like her. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the lack of money at home, I would not have come to Xie's house. ..." When Aunt Zhu said this, she had some thoughts, she turned around and asked Aunt Shen, "Could it be that you really want to stay in the Xie family for the rest of your life? Both of us are only in our early twenties. The days to come are still long!"

Aunt Shen didn't know how to answer for a while, her eyes were still a bit confused, seeing Aunt Zhu said so, she just turned around and said: "Although the days to come are still long, if I leave Xie's house, I don't know if there will be any It's a good place to go, not to mention..." Aunt Shen bit her lip and thought for a while, "If the family doesn't have our money, I'm afraid they won't be able to live well."

The two of them were going to the backyard with a lot of preoccupations, when they saw the maid next to the old aunt, who was hurrying to the front yard, saw the little maid in Xu's room, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Mama Zhang? My aunt made a mistake." I have a chest pain, please ask Mama Zhang to play the right card, so that I can arrange a car to go to the town to ask for a doctor."
