The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 90

Xu's middle age can be said to have a lot of fate. A woman of this age should be the most prosperous age.To put it bluntly, at Xu's age, if she was placed in modern times, she would be nothing more than an old leftover woman, and she would definitely not live like this.

Fortunately, with Xie Chaozong now, the Xu family can be counted on to have someone to rely on. On weekdays, she takes care of the chores at home, entertains Xie Chaozong, and arranges the meals and daily life of several members of the family. She does a good job in these things.It's just that after a long time of idleness, it is inevitable that she will think too much, so the matter of Xu Yuxing is considered a major event in her heart.

Xie Yujiao had just had dinner at Xu's side at this time, and she was supposed to go back with Xu Huiru, but Xu stayed behind.Xie Yujiao had just heard that Mrs. Xu had invited her aunt and grandma over, and she thought that she probably wanted to discuss the matter of Xu Yuxing. Mrs. Xu's temperament was not in a normal hurry.

In summer, it was very hot at night. There was ice in Xu’s room, so it was still cool at this time. The old aunt and grandma came all the way, with a smile on her face. He is holding a cane, although he is already very agile now, but this cane cannot be separated from his hand.

When the maids saw the old aunt coming in, they only brought up a bowl of hot lily and mung bean soup. Mrs. Xu pulled Xie Yujiao to sit down together, with a smile on her face, and first talked about homework with the old aunt.

After all, Mrs. Xu was a bit thin-skinned, and felt embarrassed when this happened. Xie Yujiao saw that the two of them grew a few teeth from Xie Chaozong, and they talked until the cat in the outer courtyard gave birth to another litter. Lean on the topic.She was so irritable that she almost fell asleep when she heard it, so she yawned impatiently, and Xu finally came to her senses, with a smile on her face, and said: "Please come here today, There is indeed something I want to discuss with you."

The old aunt actually felt her heart ache, but Mrs. Xu didn't mention this matter, so she was too embarrassed to ask. Seeing Mrs. Xu finally get straight to the point, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she just smiled and said, "You What's the matter, even if you say it directly, what else does this family say?"

After hearing what the old aunt and grandma said, Mrs. Xu felt even happier. They were originally a family, but now they are getting closer and closer, but they are really members of a big family.

"I just want you to ask my aunt, she is alone now, with two children, has she ever thought about..." When Xu said this, she didn't know how to speak.For one thing, the eldest aunt is the younger sister, and the Xu family is the sister-in-law. The younger sister-in-law accepted the bullying, and Heli went back to her mother's house, and the sister-in-law took it in naturally, but now the sister-in-laws are arranging marriages for her. On the contrary, it makes people feel that Xu family can't tolerate Great aunt is the same.

Mrs. Xu is also a caring person. Thinking about it this way, she became embarrassed and couldn't even speak for a while.Xie Yujiao was anxious when she heard it, she just stood up, walked to the old aunt and grandma and said: "Old aunt, grandma, you can go back and ask my aunt if she would like to marry my uncle, if she is willing, I will ask my mother to invite her in two days." The matchmaker came to the house to propose marriage, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xu was so anxious that she was like ants on the hot pot. Seeing Xie Yujiao said it so carelessly, she only breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, yes... that's what it means. I couldn't explain it clearly at the moment."

When the old aunt heard this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If she doesn't want to, see if I won't twist her mouth!" After she finished speaking, she felt that it seemed inappropriate, so she quickly laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I Just go back and ask, now go back and ask..."

The old aunt was so happy, she hurriedly got up and left before Mrs. Xu could say anything, wishing she could tell the news to the aunt right now.Mrs. Xu stood up and took a look at the door. There was no sign of the old aunt and grandma, and she had left the second door early in the morning.

Xu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's rare for my aunt's legs to be so neat."

Xie Yujiao also laughed: "In the future, if my aunt gives birth to a boy and a half girl for my uncle, my aunt's legs will be even more agile!"

What Mrs. Xu longed for the most was this. Seeing what Xie Yujiao said, she also laughed and said, "If this is the case, even if I fall asleep, I will wake up laughing."

The old aunt brought the words to the eldest aunt that night. The aunt thought about it all night, and finally agreed, and only added: "Now the Xie family is still in the filial piety. She is the daughter of the Xie family, so naturally she has to guard her." So, if Xu Yuxing is willing, it won't be too late to discuss this matter after Master Xie's filial piety period has passed."

Unexpectedly, when Xu Yuxing heard this, he agreed without saying a word, and Xu's heart finally fell to the ground.

This winter was extremely cold, Xie Yujiao held a small hand stove and sat in the study reading the books.Mr. Xie's study room is quite large, and there are inner rooms on the left and right sides. Although there are four heaters inside, it is still a bit cold.The fleshy ones raised by the window are growing very well. When the weather is good, they can be basked in the sun, and a small pot will grow out of a large pot.

Xie Yujiao closed the ledger, held the stove in her hand and looked out of the window, seeing a whole expanse of whiteness.

A few women outside were sweeping the floor, and the youngest son of one of the women's family went to the front line, and she heard her rambling over there: "In August, the county government said to send things to the front line, and I will do it." I bought two thick cotton-padded jackets and asked him to take them over, I don’t know if he put them on, I heard it’s colder in the north than here, so he must be freezing.”

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she didn't know what to do, so she thought of Zhou Tianhao. Unfortunately, she still doesn't know Zhou Tianhao's real identity. The last time she let Liu Fugen inquire about him, she also inquired as Mr. Yang.Of course, no one else in the family knew about this matter, so Liu Fugen came back after inquiring, and said to Xie Yujiao with a smile: "I have inquired, Mr. Yang is now under His Royal Highness Prince Rui's command, they are said to be not on the front line, they are guarding the outskirts of the capital. It's training soldiers! Don't worry, girl."

Xie Yujiao was annoyed at that time, she gave Liu Fugen a glance and said, "What should I worry about, he has nothing to do with me."

But Liu Fugen just smirked blindly. Thinking about it now, it has been a month or so, and it seems that the Chinese New Year is coming again.

Xie Yujiao sighed, and thought that if she had the ability to combine an atom and pop it out, and throw it on the Tatar grassland, it would be clean...

The wind was blowing outside, Xie Yujiao felt a little cold, so she drew down the curtain, not to listen to the chatter of the two women.He just thought to himself: It's so cold this year, why didn't Kang Guangshou come to beg for cotton clothes?

Xie Yujiao thought of the money she had earned from transferring the property in the past few months, and felt a little swollen, so she asked the maid to call Liu Fugen in.

Wearing a squirrel jacket and a felt hat, Liu Fugen came in from the outside in the wind and snow, his eyebrows and beard were dyed white. Seeing Xie Yujiao calling him over, he thought there was something urgent, so he ran fast.

"What is the girl's order?"

Xie Yujiao looked at his cold body, pointed to the stove in the corner, and said, "The second housekeeper warms up first, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later."

Liu Fugen leaned against the corner to warm his hands for a while, the cold air on his body gradually dissipated, the servant girl handed him hot tea to drink, and then said: "Young lady, if you have anything to do, please tell me. As for the renter, maybe he won’t come back tomorrow.”

Xie Yujiao asked him calmly, "Has there been any movement at the county office recently?"

Liu Fugen thought for a long time, thinking that Xie Yujiao thought of Mr. Yang again, and wanted to inquire about his news, but it was a bit embarrassing for a while, he didn't care about this matter when he was busy, last time I heard that he was still training soldiers, then more than a month later, Isn't it about to go to the battlefield.Liu Fugen suddenly felt that he was too remiss in his duty this time, why didn't he inquire about the news of the future son-in-law!How can I explain this to Xie Yujiao.

"Damn this slave, I've been too busy for the past two days, so I forgot about this matter. I'm going to the county government office to find out, where is the army led by Mr. Yang?" Liu Fugen was about to kneel as he spoke, Xie Yujiao There was a moment of silence in my heart, and I only said depressedly: "Whoever asked you about him, I will ask you, is there any order from Mr. Kang recently?"

Hearing the words, Liu Fugen came back to his senses a little bit, and wondered in his heart: In the past, the eldest girl was most afraid of any orders from Mr. Kang, as long as she heard herself say the word Mr. Kang, her brows would frown. Why is it unprecedented today? , actually cared about Mr. Kang's affairs again?This is really a strange thing.

"Recently, the county government has nothing to do. This year's tax payment has been increased, and other families have not paid it on time. Only our Xie family has paid the most. Mr. Kang even commended it, and there is nothing else to do."

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao felt that she couldn't lift her spirits up for a while, so she was a little sluggish, and asked casually, "Why didn't Mr. Kang come to ask for a cotton jacket this year?" After Xie Yujiao said this, she felt a little embarrassed, Xin Dao really thought that the days in winter were short, she never slept in the middle of the day, and her mind was not sober.

Liu Fugen was also puzzled by this sentence, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by this sentence. After thinking about Xie Yujiao's meaning for a long time, he said, "Otherwise, my slave will go to the county government office tomorrow and ask Mr. Kang, do you still need cotton-padded jackets this year?"

Xie Yujiao heard the words, her expression was a bit numb, she saw Zhengda under the snow through the window, she said helplessly: "Forget it, why do you ask, you dare to make a cotton-padded jacket at this time, can you wear it in summer?"

Liu Fugen nodded blindly, and saw that Xie Yujiao seemed to be a little bit angry, so he said: "Otherwise, how about sending some cloth over like last year, miss?"

Xie Yujiao thought about it, and felt that she seemed a little stingy at that time, and those white cotton cloths were not worth a few silver coins. After all, she was too careful at that time.

"Forget it, this time you send some fine cotton cloth over here. You need fine cotton cloth, the kind that can be directly worn as a middle coat in hot weather, understand?"

Liu Fugen just kept nodding his head, thinking that the young girl deserves to belong to the master himself, she didn't see it before, but now she can see it, the ability to throw money is exactly the same as the master's!

Xie Yujiao ordered this matter, and her mood immediately improved a lot. Looking at the sallow sky outside, she didn't feel chest tightness anymore. She just went to Xu's main room happily.
