The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 79

As soon as Xu Yuxing came back, he knew that Xie's family had guests, and the servants outside had already talked about the family affairs in the past few days.Therefore, Xu Yuxing was not surprised when Mrs. Xu mentioned that there was still Mr. Yang living outside.It's just that he often goes out after all, and he also has many connections in the capital. Now that Mr. Xu mentioned Mr. Yang, he asked casually, "Mr. Yang, is that Mr. Yang from Jinyang Hou's family?"

Although there are many people with the surname Yang in the capital, those who are related to the Kang family by marriage are the Jinyang Houfu. Since he claims to be Lord Kang's cousin, he must be a child of the Jinyang Hou family.Xu Yuxing didn't ask any further questions, he only knew that there was indeed a second young master in Jinyang Hou's family who wasn't very healthy, and probably this was him.

At first, Mrs. Xu wanted to secretly send someone to inquire about the origin and identity of Mr. Yang from his little follower, but now when he heard that he belonged to the Marquis of Jinyang, his expression became a little depressed.It's not that Mrs. Xu laughed at herself. Those noble families in the capital have always had such a temperament, and they especially value their family status.At the beginning, Mr. Xie asked to marry Mrs. Xu, if it wasn't because Mr. Xu happened to be in Jiangning at that time, and the Xie family was so rich and powerful, and it happened that they had some unpleasant troubles with the main house of the Duke's mansion, that would have knocked out teeth and swallowed blood. , Married Mrs. Xu to Mr. Xie.

But at the beginning when she was marrying a daughter, even Xu, a prostitute from the Duke's mansion, still felt that she was married, and she felt wronged.Now that it's a different person, it's idiotic to ask a young master from the Hou's mansion to marry a girl from a landlord's family. If you want this young master from the Hou's mansion to come to Xie's house as a door-to-door son-in-law, that's even more impossible.

Xu suddenly felt that she was out of strength, and she didn't have any strength at all. She glanced at Xie Yujiao who was lying on the bed, and said casually: "That's all, I don't know about these things, and I don't care about him." Whose family is Mr. Yang, I just remember that he is our family’s savior, that’s right, when he recovers from his injuries, he will leave anyway.”

Seeing Xu Shi like that, Xu Yuxing could see what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Sister, you just said not to mention this matter, but now you think about it again, isn't it just asking for trouble? It's not too early , I went outside to greet the guests first."

It was rare for Zhou Tianhao to sleep soundly all night. The breakfast delivered by Xie’s family in the morning was also very delicious. The homemade duck blood vermicelli soup was even better than the ones bought on the street, especially the cattail dumplings, which were even more delicious .Zhou Tianhao saw that there was another maid who came in to serve, and it was the one who followed Xie Yujiao yesterday, so he just asked, "Your girl is sick, why don't you go back to your girl's side?"

Ziyan knew that Zhou Tianhao was Xu's savior, and she helped take care of Xie Yujiao yesterday, so she warmed up to him, so she just said, "Master, I don't know my girl's temper. With her consent, I don't dare to make up my own mind. I really want to go back and see her, but if she sees that I don't serve the young master, she might scold me again. She still has Sister Magpie and a few little maids on her side. I am alone.”

Zhou Tianhao heard Xie Yujiao's words at the foot of Qinglong Mountain yesterday, so he knew that she must be a one-sided character, but he didn't expect the maid at home to be so convinced of her, that he didn't dare to disobey her at all, but he was a little curious, so he asked : "You girls have a bad temper? Do you often punish you?"

"Young master, what are you talking about? Our girl never punishes us, but she likes people who obey the rules. She often says: If you don't have rules, you can't be round. She is young, so she is soft-spoken. If you even have a few people around you Even a maid can't take care of her, how can she take care of such a big family!"

Hearing this, Zhou Tianhao looked at Xie Yujiao differently, and couldn't help asking: "It makes sense, but I just look at her at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Thinking about it, what did she say?" These words seem a little old-fashioned."

Seeing what Zhou Tianhao said, Ziyan was a little unconvinced, so she just said: "When the master was here, everything was done properly, so naturally the girl didn't need to worry about it. Now that the master is gone, the wife doesn't know much about the business at home. , and we can only rely on the girl, our girl is not very good, and these two years are even more troublesome, no matter how delicate the girl is, she can't stand the rubbing of these common affairs, how can the son understand! "

After Ziyan finished speaking, she snorted, seeing that Zhou Tianhao had almost eaten, she walked outside the door, and told the women who were waiting outside: "Go in and tidy up, I should go too."

Zhou Tianhan watched Ziyan change her face as soon as she said it, and only asked: "Where are you going?"

"I'll go back to Xiulou to see the girl!" Ziyan said, and left without looking back, leaving only Zhou Tianhao looking at the group of women who came in to clear the table, and said to himself: "Whoever said just now can't make up his own mind?" Yes, I forgot in the blink of an eye..."

After Xu Shi and Xu Yu walked, Xie Yujiao woke up again, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Huiru sitting on a stool beside the bed wiping tears.Seeing her, Xie Yujiao said weakly, "What's the matter? Who made my cousin angry."

Seeing Xie Yujiao woke up, Xu Huiru felt ashamed for a moment. She just wiped away her tears, stood up and asked, "Cousin, are you better? The doctor said that you are physically and mentally damaged, and your vitality is seriously injured. You scared me to death..."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she also found it a bit funny. The Chinese medicine practitioners only exchanged these few words, and yesterday they said it lightly, but today, after a day, it became more and more serious.But now that Xie Yujiao lay on the bed and thought about it, there was actually some truth to it.When I was watching "Dream of Red Mansions" when I was a child, I still couldn't understand how Wang Xifeng suffered from all kinds of illnesses. He obviously lived a life of rich clothes and good food. How can it be so tiring to take care of housework for so many years?

Now that Xie Yujiao has been in charge of this for a year and a half, she realizes that it is really not easy. She is only in charge of the Xie family, and she is exhausted and sick. Wang Xifeng is in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and the people with so many houses are exhausted. It's normal.

"I can't die yet, why are you crying..." Xie Yujiao's body was a little weak, and she wanted to sit up a little bit, but Xu Huiru hurriedly took a pillow and put it on her, and asked, "What does cousin want to eat? I'll tell the kitchen to get it?"

Xie Yujiao ate something early in the morning, but she wasn't very hungry at the moment, she just felt that Xu Huiru's crying eyes were red and swollen, so she just smiled and let out a long sigh.Xu Huiru couldn't help asking: "Why is my cousin sighing so well, is she feeling unwell again?"

Xie Yujiao felt a little annoyed when she thought of what Mrs. Xu had told her earlier in the morning, and said, "I was just thinking, how could I be reincarnated as a woman? It would be great if it was a man... Why in this world? I just like men so much! Is it so amazing to have such a thing? It’s not women who give birth to children..."

Xu Huiru has always acted like a lady. Although she doesn't understand those things, she still has a half-knowledge after all. Hearing Xie Yujiao's words, her ears and neck turned red from fright. She looked at Xie Yujiao for a while Dare to speak.Xie Yujiao raised her head and saw Xu Huiru like this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, I didn't burn out, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Xu Huiru didn't know what to say when she heard the words, she just frowned and nodded, and ran out to give Xie Yujiao something to eat.

After Xu Yuxing had lunch, he invited Tao Laixi and Liu Fugen to Xie's house to discuss matters, and it happened that Shen Shihu also came back from outside.It turned out that after the matter in Qinglongzhai was settled yesterday, Xie Yujiao only asked Shen Shihu to stay there, and have a good chat with Boss Xiao, and also count the number of people in Qinglongzhai.After all, although Xie Yujiao has taken on this matter, it is still an errand that costs money. When the second old man in the clan finds out, he will start to talk about it again, so it is necessary to budget the expenses first.

When Shen Shihu returned to Xie's house, he found out that Xie Yujiao was ill. Although he was impatient, he was too embarrassed to ask more questions, so he had no choice but to go to the study first and tell the matter back.

"The doctor said that the eldest girl's body may take a while, and now it's the busy time of farming. Housekeeper Tao, I don't know much about the things in the field. You should be responsible for these things. If there are any difficult things , You just talk about it, and we can discuss it together." Xu Yuxing is good at business, but he is a layman in farming, so Tao Lai can only fall in love with him.

"It's not a big deal in the field for a while, it's just that the eldest lady promised to build water canals for several villages, and now I have hired people, just wait for the eldest lady to nod, and then I can start repairing it with money This is the time when the rice is soaring, and the matter of the canal really cannot be delayed.

"You go to the cashier to get the money first, and when Jiaojiao is better, I will tell her not to delay the harvest in the field." Xu Yuxing just said.

Tao Laixi got the letter of approval, and he calmed down for a while, so he hurried to go out to do errands.Seeing Xu Yuxing's return, Liu Fugen only exchanged a few words of greeting: "Master uncle is considered to be back, if only you came back a few days earlier, you might be able to avoid this disaster, but the wife and the eldest girl are so scared. .”

Xu Yuxing also blamed himself, and after hearing this, he just waved his hands and said: "It's a blessing or a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Fortunately, Jiaojiao and his wife are fine." Xu Yuxing sighed, seeing Shen Shihu was also in front of him, and asked : "Is there anything else going on here at Shen Nursing Hospital?"

Ever since Aunt Shen gave birth to Xie Chaozong, many people in Xie's house would jokingly call Shen Shihu "uncle" in private. Shen Shihu would only reprimand him a few words at first, but then he got used to it.Now in front of the real uncle, Shen Shihu still feels somewhat embarrassed.

"The eldest girl asked me to count the heads in Qinglongzhai. There are 120 people in total, 32 households. Each family has a strong labor force. They are also willing to stay in Xie's family as tenants. Now I just wait to see what the eldest girl will do. placement."
