self-improvement as a cook
Chapter 96
Chapter 96
With regard to this marriage, the Xie family, who should have stepped forward the most, did not make any movement, which made many people wonder secretly, thinking that although the Xie family is now in decline, such anger can be tolerated, and it is really self-cultivating.
Who knows the cause and effect here, even if the Xie family held back their anger, there was nothing they could do.On the day when Xie's affairs were found out, An Jiamu specially asked someone to call Xie Niang's parents over, and told them all the things their daughter had done in front of them.
An Jiamu knew in her heart that no matter how vicious Xie Yiniang was, she was only a newly married bride back then, how could she be so bold, even if she had the courage, how could she have come up with such a detailed plan.
What's more, Xie's family didn't accompany any shop, but only a spice shop, which is really weird. When they are linked together, people can't help but think about it. In addition, the branch of Xie's mother, except her mother gave birth to her and two This brother, the other aunts and concubines have nothing to do, how similar this situation is to his Anfu, who is behind this trick, you don't need to think about it.
The reason why An Jiamu called Xie Yiniang's parents over to clarify the matter was that one was to let the Xie family calm down and not dare to make trouble, and the other was to indirectly tell Master Xie to see what a vicious wife he had married.
Compared with himself and Jiayan, this old man has been calculated all his life, and he is the most pitiful one. Sure enough, when Xie Niang's parents returned, there was news that Mrs. Xie's wife died of a sudden illness.This is to cover up the ugliness, no one does not know that the old lady of the Xie family hanged herself, she hanged herself as soon as she returned from Anfu.
The Xie family had already lost power, and now that the God of Wealth, Anfu, is gone, it is getting worse every day. Even if An Jiayan now stops his wife and remarries, and the trouble is well known, the wronged Xie family does not dare to stand up for the Xie family. , I understand in my heart that if I really find out what Xie has done, I am afraid that even the name of Mrs. Shi Lang will be lost, and I will have to be sent to the Yamen for questioning. I have no other choice but to swallow this useless mouth.
I know even more in my heart that this Shangshu Mansion, an An family, and the king of Xiaoyao County, how can they afford to provoke the Xie family? I can only blame Xie Niang for not living up to her expectations. She has done so many immoral things. As for digging people's ancestral graves, it's already luck to be able to end up like this, so how can you dare to be troublesome.
It's just that Xie's family doesn't have many things to do, so of course there are many things to do. They are busy with happy events here, but they don't know that two men and women with ulterior motives have entered Beijing. They are Xing'er and Da Yi Niang.
Speaking of these two people, they are like dogs of a feather. They came here to find Mrs. Xie. Although they knew that Mrs. Xie had fallen out of favor, in Zhuangzi, but as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. You can also have some money.
If it wasn't for the short life of that old guy Ding Shoucai, who would have come all the way to the capital? Last time Xing'er went to the Ding family to ask for money, but the old guy didn't come up in one breath, he was so angry that the two of them had nothing to do before thinking of Mrs. Xie.
Auntie hates this in her heart, hates Hua Guzi who doesn't care about anything when she has a man, hates Xing'er, a bastard, not to mention occupying her body, and squandering all the money she has saved over the years, finally forcing her to hold onto it. He sold his yard and lived with him in Guzi Temple.
My aunt hated An Ran even more, if it wasn't for this cheap girl who seduced the Eldest Master, she would still be living a comfortable life in An Mansion, even if she was not favored, she would not have ended up like this, let a servant control her.
Auntie knows very well that Xing'er still can't let go of herself now, and when this beast really has nowhere to go, she will definitely sell herself. If she really gets to this point, she might as well die.
In fact, she doesn't want to live now, she has no hope, what's the point of living, but, even if she dies, she can't make the poor girl feel better, why is she so miserable, and she is her lady in Anfu? .
She has been thinking about these ideas for a long time, but the first Ding Shoucai is still alive, and Xing'er still has places to steal money, so she will definitely not listen to her. Now that Ding Shoucai is gone, and Ding Shoucai's wife is extremely powerful, if she speaks out, Xing'er dares to come to the door again Blackmail, send him to the Yamen.
This person is dead, no matter how many bad things he has done, who cares, Xing'er has no handle in his hands, so he cut off the Ding family's source of income.
The woman in Xing'er's house was not peaceful either, seeing that he would not go back, she simply packed up and ran away with a businessman, and this beast was all about dragging herself to suffer with him.
The auntie lured Xing'er to the capital by the pretext of coming to the capital to find Xie's money.When I entered Beijing, I heard people talking about the marriage between the Shangshu Mansion and the Shilang Mansion.
Xing'er saw his aunt's face was sallow, and thought that if she was sick, she would have to find a doctor and spend money. Moreover, this woman was his only cash cow. Why not sell it for a few bucks.
Xing'er thought about it, but if he really couldn't get any money, he would sell this girl to a kiln in a few days. Fill your belly with a bowl of plain noodles.
It was already past noon, and there were not many people at the noodle stall, only two men at the next table, who would not leave after eating, lit a bag of cigarettes and chatted their teeth there: "I was just in time for the appointment of the minister's mansion, and the gold and silver Jewels, pearls, agates, what do you really want, almost blinded people, don’t you all say that the servant is a big and honest official, where did you get all the money?”
The man next to him took a puff of his cigarette and glanced at him: "Are you stupid or not? The servant has a lot of money. Isn't it all because of his brother's ability to do such a big business? There are gold mountains and silver mountains, not to mention, and now he is married to the world's number one chef.
Although this Chef An was born as a girl, he is an excellent cook. He has gained such a great reputation in just one year. He even opened Fuchunju in Qizhou, Yashe in Suzhou, and Yashe in our capital. It was also opened by her and Xiaoyao County King, otherwise, you have heard of someone who has such a big table that the wedding banquet can be placed in Yashe.
I heard that Ya She can eat casually without 800 taels of silver. How much silver can you say for the wedding banquet in the Minister's Mansion? I was lying on the kang last night, counting for An's family, and my heart hurts. "
"Hehehe, you are a pain in the ass. It's not about spending your family's money. Besides, your little possessions can be worth a few taels of silver if you sell them. How dare you open your teeth. But, speaking of it, Chef An , He is really a Wangfu. Although Mr. An sent all the women in the mansion out, since he married this man, the An family has become even more incredible. Now the business of Anji Restaurant is also booming. Where is this? It's marrying a daughter-in-law, obviously marrying a grandma who is the god of wealth."
"No, think about it, Mr. An used to have many women, but none of them laid eggs. They raised them for so many years for nothing. Now Chef An has only been in the door for a year, and he has a big fat boy. Who wouldn't treat such a daughter-in-law as a treasure."
"That is to say, in the past, those women were all Kefukezi's mourners. They should have been kicked out a long time ago. If they had been kicked out earlier, there might be several young masters in Anfu now."
Auntie gritted her silver teeth when she heard this, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled with anger, why did she become a funeral star, and that cheap girl became the lucky star of Vanves, dreaming, even if she dies badly, then The cheap girl didn't want to live a comfortable life, she put down her chopsticks, turned around and went out.
Xing'er hurriedly pulled the noodles in the bowl into his mouth, and chased them out after paying for the noodles. Seeing that the aunt's face was ugly, she couldn't help saying: "What are you doing with such idleness, we just want to live our own lives well anyway."
The aunt raised her head abruptly, looked at him and sneered: "Our own life? Who is with you? If it wasn't for this bitch who forced her way in, I would still be the aunt in the house now, and you are nothing more than a slave. If you dare to talk to me like this, you will be beaten to pieces."
Xing'er's face turned gloomy, and he laughed a few times: "At this time and at that time, you used to be a high-ranking aunt, but now it's not the same as being in my body. Are you screaming? Now I heard that Chef An is famous and profitable. Wang Fu gave birth and felt uncomfortable. What did you do long ago? If you hadn't colluded with Mrs. Xie to kill the two young masters, the first lady would not have died in grief.
If the eldest lady is not dead, how could this girl An Ran marry into An's family even though she has great abilities? This is all your own fault, and no one can blame you. I advise you to accept your fate, it's not like that I can't ask for it, so I still think about where to find Xie for some money, and return to Jizhou as soon as possible. "
The auntie really wished she could stab Xing'er to death, but then she thought about it, what's the use of dying with such a bastard, it's all because of that cheap girl An Ran that she ended up in the current situation.
The eyeballs rolled around, but they thought of a poisonous plan. At night, the two found an inn to stay. The aunt wanted to coax him, so she used all her means to serve him, making him happy.
After the moment was over, the two lay on the kang, and the auntie said: "This is not a long-term solution after all. The Xie family has already lost power. Although she still has the name of Mrs. Shi Lang, who still takes her seriously?" , so let's find her, she can't protect herself now, can she have some money for us."
As soon as Xing'er heard it, it made sense: "According to what you say, our visit is not in vain."
Auntie shook her head: "Why did you come in vain? I have an idea. Since we are here, why don't we go out and do something big, extort more money, and then go far away to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live our comfortable life?" , wouldn’t it be better than nesting in Jizhou.”
Xing'er told her that she was moved and hurriedly said: "How can you go all out, what's the big deal?"
The aunt leaned over to his ear and whispered a few words.
Xing'er was startled, and hurriedly pushed her away: "You, you are crazy, isn't it easy to provoke the Anfu? You have been with the old man for so many years, don't you know the old man's temper? It's so easy to get a son. Don't be like a baby, we play the child's idea, with the temper of the old man, how can he spare us, or steal the chicken or lose the rice, and put our lives in it, this thing can't be done."
The aunt snorted: "Come on, I usually say that I am brave, but I just talk about it. You are so courageous, I think you are smaller than a mouse. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are found in danger. There is silver, where is your turn to pick it up, it is because of this baby that we can get more silver, just relying on this child, it is not a problem to ask him for 1 to [-] silver."
1 to 1?Xing'er's eyes flashed across piles of silver, his eyes lit up, he had never seen so much silver in his life, if he had [-] to [-] silver, why would he go to a gambling shop and eat while lying down? chant.
My mind became active, and when I thought of An Jiamu, I felt a little scared: "You said it lightly, this child is the only heir of the eldest family of Anfu, and there are not many people in front of me, not to mention, it is impossible for such a young child Come out and stay in the inner house of the mansion every day, how can we have a chance."
Auntie: "Don't worry, I have my own way of thinking about this. Let's go to Xie Shiguan's Zhuangzi tomorrow. Now that the second master stops his wife and remarries, even if he doesn't care about Xie Shi, he must feel guilty for the two children. As I expected That's right, before the big day in the Shi Lang's mansion, the second master will definitely let the two young masters come to the Zhuangzi to visit their mothers, so we will have a chance."
Xing'er was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't you say you were going to tie up the lord's precious son? Why are you thinking about the second house again?"
The aunt gave him a blank look: "An Mansion is heavily guarded, can you get in or can I get in? You and I can't get in, but Hao Sihao is perfect, and the father is married to the stepmother. The two children are the most beautiful at this time." Weak and easy to get confused, as long as they are properly coaxed and arouse their hatred for that bitch, it won't be difficult to help us take the child out."
Xing'er pointed at her and said: "No wonder everyone said that my aunt has a deep heart and has means. Now Xing'er has really learned the lesson. My aunt is really the best of girls. She can think of such vicious tricks."
Auntie pushed him away: "Don't think of yourself as a good person, you are something good, let's not talk about anyone."
Seeing that she was annoyed, Xing'er quickly hugged her and coaxed her: "I'm just joking, why am I so annoyed, but we have to discuss this matter, where can I hide this child? How to find the An family to extort money? You know, this is the capital city, we are not familiar with the place, and with the power of the old man, we have both the government and the Jianghu. This treasure is lost, and I am not satisfied with the crazy search of the world. .”
Auntie: "You are stupid, send a letter over there, specify a place for him to put the silver, and let him go to get it out after he walks away, that's all, and, what are you afraid of? As long as there is a child in hand, An Jia No matter how powerful Mu is, as long as he has the child's life in mind, he will not act rashly, we carried the child with the money, ran away, left the child by the side of the road, and walked away, it was too late for him to chase after him."
Although Xing'er felt that what Auntie said was too easy, but she was tempted by Yin Zi, and she agreed without thinking about other things.
The aunt secretly thought that she was an idiot, the old lady was already tired of living, and it was worth it to be able to take that low girl's child to be buried with her when she was dying. As for Xing'er, a bastard, she should have died a long time ago.
The two discussed it properly, settled the store money the next day, and ran to the village in the suburbs while scanning and listening.
There are several Zhuangzi in the capital city alone. The Zhuangzi in Xie's Pass is the most remote, with no ghosts around. The two of them were cats in the woods not far from Zhuangzi, waiting for Hao Si The Haoyu brothers came over.
They waited for a day in vain, but they didn't see anyone. They had almost enough money to spend, and they couldn't go back to the city. Seeing a ruined temple not far ahead, the two simply stayed in the temple. A painstaking person.
When the two of them arrived at the grove that day, they saw a carriage approaching from a distance. When they got closer, Xing'er recognized the driver as Lao Cai from the servant's mansion.
This old guy has a problem with drinking. The two of them thought that this old Cai has been in Beijing all year round, and he doesn't know much about the Anfu in Jizhou. They probably don't know Xing'er now, and he has lost his job. Therefore, Xing'er used to be the most conversant. Suitable.
The two made up their minds, and when Haosi Haoyu got out of the car and entered the Zhuangzi, Xing'er straightened her clothes and walked over.
Lao Cai was sitting on the shaft of the car smoking a pipe, when he heard someone calling him, he thought that it would be impossible to meet acquaintances in the wilderness, if he didn't send the two young masters here, he would never want to come to this ghostly place for the rest of his life. Looking over, he recognized Xing'er, the steward of Anfu in Jizhou, and couldn't help being stunned: "It's steward Xing, why are you here?"
As soon as Xing'er heard him call her Xing Guanshi, she knew that she had guessed right, this foolish old guy didn't know that he had lost his job, and he still regarded himself as the steward of Anfu, so it was really God's help.
Hehe smiled: "What else can I do, Zuo is just running an errand for the master."
Lao Cai had met Xing'er a few times before, knew that he was a talkative celebrity in the manor, and thought he was here to do something for the old man, so he didn't dare to ask more.
Wan Xing'er said, "It's so easy to meet here. When I first came here, I saw a tavern with a shed in front of me. Why don't we go and have a few drinks?"
Seeing that he was hesitant, he couldn't help saying: "Don't worry, just have a few drinks, it won't delay the business."
Lao Cai thought about it, but it is true. Today, I am sending the two young masters to meet their mother. The mother and son have not seen each other for a long time. This meeting is not sure how close they are. It is estimated that I will not be able to come out within two hours. Rather than waiting here foolishly, it's better to have a drink with Guanshi Xing.
Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed, let Xing'er get in the car, drove the car, and went to the tavern that Xing'er said. What kind of tavern is it? There is wine.
Xing'er asked the boss to pack two side dishes, took a jar of wine, and ate with Lao Cai. After three drinks, Lao Cai's mouth was no longer able to control the door. Bald outside.
"Guanxing Xing, let me tell you, our servant's mansion has changed now, and you probably know that our servant is going to marry the second wife."
Xing'er followed him and said: "Our second master is in a high position, let alone marrying a second wife, even marrying a third or fourth wife is nothing new."
Lao Cai: "How do you know what's going on here? This second housewife is from a higher family background than the first Mrs. Xie. She is a daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. She said she came to serve our second master as a young lady, but this background just overwhelms Xie." Mrs. Shi has one head.
In addition, this marriage is a great matchmaker made by Prince Xiaoyao, the grandeur has shocked the capital, and a wedding banquet will be held in the elegant house. In this way, who remembers who the big house is? I cried a few times in secret.
Although the child is young, he also understands in his heart that no matter how bad this mother-in-law is, she is better than the stepmother. After all, Master Haosi is older. He was thinking about Mrs. Xie, and he knelt outside the master's study all day yesterday. The master agreed to let the two young masters come over to see Mrs. Xie today, it's a pity to see her. "
Xing'er: "You're just worrying about it. No matter what, you're still the second wife. How can you go past Mrs. Xie? When it’s time to pick it up, it’s naturally still Mrs. Dafang.”
Lao Cai shook his head: "I think you are often in Jizhou, and you don't know about our Beijing affairs. Let me tell you, this Mrs. Guo is no better than Mrs. Xie. She is very good at being a person. She hasn't entered the door yet, just like our eldest lady." The fight was very hot, otherwise, how could there be a wedding banquet in Yashe, who would not know that this Yashe is a business jointly authored by our wife and Xiaoyao County King, it would be difficult for dignitaries to go.
Besides, those betrothal gifts were all dug out from the storeroom by the Da Furen one by one, picking out the good ones, and even Mrs. Guo's dowry was posted by the Da Furen. "
Xing'er didn't believe it: "This is nonsense. If a dignified Shangshu's mansion marries a daughter, the in-law's family can't get the dowry. I heard that Guo Shangshu and his wife have no children, so I recognized such a daughter, just like my own. You only go out once in your life, and you can still wrong your daughter."
Lao Cai: "Master Guo is a well-known upright official in our Great Yan Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is not easy to support him with the little salary of the imperial court. We can't save enough money. That day Da Furen invited Shang Shufu to come and enjoy the flowers. Just returning from the outside, I took a look in front of the gate. The clothes and jewelry on my body are really shabby. Although our eldest lady doesn’t like to dress up, any item on her body is a priceless treasure. Think about it, such a minister How can the government buy a decent dowry?"
Xing'er was even scratching his head when he said these words. Now that his money is tight, and he is almost out of food and drink, when he thinks of the white money, how can he not be unmoved? Although he is afraid of An Jiamu in his heart, isn't it? There is a saying, okay, if the brave die and the timid starve to death, I have no way out anyway, so I did this to get him [-] to [-] silver, and took my aunt to fly away and live a comfortable life.
Although my aunt is evil-minded and the city is deep, Ke Xing'er really can't bear it. The girl is a coquettish, after all, she is old, and she is a nun, so it is unreasonable to kidnap her to live. It's not rare, this sleeping aunt, isn't she the old man, what do you want if you have money and women in this life.
Thinking of this, he became even more persuasive, and Lao Cai drank too much, and Xing'er took some effort to get him into the car, put on his bamboo hat, and drove back to Zhuangzi.
As soon as the car was parked at the door, Haosi Haoyu and two brothers came out of it not long after. The eyes of the two boys were red, and they cried hard when they saw it.
Followed by two young men, the two young men are not very old, only eleven or twelve, when they saw a stranger sitting in the car, they were taken aback, and hurriedly blocked the two young men behind them: " Who are you? Where is Lao Cai?"
Xing'er didn't panic, he glanced at them, got out of the car and saluted: "Xing'er greets the two young masters."
The two young servants were stunned for a moment, then looked at the young master, Hao Si was stunned: "Are you really happy?"
The two of them were young, and they didn't go back to Jizhou very often. They only went back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and they also set up a family business. There were servants, clerks, shopkeepers, accountants, I don't know how many, and sometimes they would transfer errands to each other. The two of them are still young, and it is impossible for them to be informed of such trivial matters. Therefore, Haosi Haoyu didn't know that Xing'er lost his job. Like Lao Cai, it was only because his father was getting married that he was transferred to work on something. up.
Another thought was wrong, since I was busy with work, why did I come here, this village is located in a remote place, and there is no Anji business nearby, what is Xinger doing here?
Thinking of this, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xing'er came quickly, and when he rolled his eyes, he had an idea: "To tell you the truth, the young masters, the younger one is here to deliver something to Mrs. Xie."
Hao Si knew that the food they ate was all produced in Jizhou. Jizhou has a lot of fields, and his uncle had bought good seeds early in the morning, and specially planted the best food for the family to eat. Even so, thinking of his mother's appearance, Hao Si I was also extremely sad in my heart. After a while, his mother was so haggard and haggard that she was not as good as the maid in the mansion. She sat on the porch in a daze, staring at the sky in a daze, like a living dead. It took a long time to see their brothers. Come to yourself.
Xing'er secretly looked at his face, when she saw the two villains with sad faces, she knew she must be pitying their mothers, at this time, as long as they fan the flames, what do children know, what the auntie planned, It is estimated that it will be sure.
Thinking of this, he said, "Lao Cai has had too much wine, and it happens that Xing'er has to go to the capital too. Why don't you let Xing'er drive the car to take the two young masters back home."
Only then did Haosi find Lao Cai who was smelling of alcohol next to the car, and frowned, thinking that he was going along the way, he nodded and asked someone to drag Lao Cai into the village to sober up, and the brothers took two young men into the car .
Xing'er had done his tricks a long time ago, when the car went to the grove, the wheel broke down, and he couldn't go, so he had to get off the car. Using this excuse, he sent two servants away, and asked them to drive another car over to the village. .
The two young servants hurriedly said: "There are no livestock on the Zhuangzi, where did you get the carriage?"
Xing'er glared at them, and said angrily: "Your heads are just for show, we can't settle down in Beijing with just this Zhuangzi."
The two glanced at each other: "But the nearest Zhuangzi is four or five miles away. Let's go, what should the two young masters do?"
Xing'er snorted: "Aren't I a human being? When I was in charge, you two boys were still breastfeeding in your mother's arms. Don't worry about leaving the young master to me."
The two young men glanced at each other, still feeling inappropriate.
But Haosi said: "You go, Xing'er is an old man in Anfu, it's okay to have him here." Then they went.
Xing'er was secretly happy, but when he turned around, he met Hao Si's eyes.
Hao Si is eight years old this year, not as smart as his younger brother Hao Yu, and therefore, some things can't be hidden from him. What are you doing looking at Xing'er like this?"
Hao Si said: "You spent so much effort to get Lao Cai drunk, and dismissed my two boys, you just want to sit here for a long time."
Xing'er's heart skipped a beat: "Big, what are you talking about, Xing'er, why can't Xing'er understand?"
Hao Si pointed to the wheel of the wheel: "The crack on the top is obviously a new fork. According to the housekeeper's rules, every carriage that comes out must be carefully inspected more than three times the day before. It is absolutely impossible for the wheel to crack halfway. Yes, although Lao Cai is greedy for drinking, there is no place that sells wine near Zhuangzi. When he came, he saw a shed selling food, but it was not very close to Zhuangzi. Where to go to eat and get drunk, the most likely is to be invited by acquaintances, and Lao Cai and you are both old people in Anfu, so they are naturally familiar with each other, and you also have a strong alcohol smell, so you can see that you are inviting Lao Cai to drink What’s more, it’s you, what’s more, you just tried to get rid of the boys in front of me because you thought they were in the way.”
Xing'er's scalp exploded after talking, and he thought that this is really a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and the child of a mouse can make holes. I heard that the second master was a child prodigy since he was a child, extremely smart, and he had read the book once. I can remember that after entering Beijing, I was admitted to the number one scholar, and now I am in a high position at a young age.
Hao Si is so clever, he is the second master, now that this kid sees it, what should he do, kill him to silence him?Don't dare, besides, if you really kill these two people, who will go to the waste of money.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the voice of my aunt: "Young master Haosi is really exactly like the second master. I used to hear the elder master mention how smart the second master was when you were your age. I didn't believe it at first, but now I see it. It's real."
Hao Si was stunned when he saw Auntie, but Haoyu had already rushed over: "Auntie, why are you here?"
Because of Mrs. Xie's collusion with her aunt, when Mrs. Xie lived in Jizhou, she naturally got close to her aunt. Among An Jiamu's concubines, Haosi Haoyu was the closest to her aunt. Auntie is sure of the reasons for persuading Hao Si.
He hugged Haoyu tightly, and patted Haoyu's head: "It turns out that Haoyu still remembers my aunt, and she just thinks that once she leaves Anfu, the two young masters will forget her."
Haoyu shook her head: "I've never forgotten, when we go back next year, my brother and I still want to visit the orchid courtyard where my aunt lives, but Liu Xier said that the orchid courtyard has been demolished long ago, and now it's changed to a miscellaneous place." The storehouse of things, don’t let us go.”
The aunt secretly gritted her teeth, and said to herself, the cheap girl pretended to be a good person, but she didn't even leave the yard where she lived, her heart was really vicious.
In fact, my aunt really wronged An Ran. An Ran never paid attention to these things. Moreover, since she chose to forgive An Jiamu, she would not care too much about the past. care about what you did before.
Therefore, An Ran never mentioned that she felt somewhat guilty towards An Jiamu's concubines in her heart. If it wasn't for herself, even if they fought non-stop, they would still be aunts in An's mansion, with a family and a family. Men, but their own appearance made them lose all of this.
Moreover, they are different from me. After all, I am a modern person. Even if I don't have a man, I will live a good life. These women, who have lost the protection of the Anfu, will probably be like this in their lives.
Later, An Ran asked Liu Xi'er in private, and learned that An Jiamu had placed these women properly, and it was a little easier, so she tried not to mention these past events, one was because of guilt, and the other was that she always brought up the past It hurts feelings too.
But the more she doesn't mention it, the more empty An Jiamu's heart is. This person tends to fall into misunderstandings. The more he cares about the person, the less confident he is. Especially An Jiamu knows An Ran's bottom line well. Anxiety, coupled with Lin Xing'er reminding him more than once of his criminal record, gradually became a knot in An Jiamu's heart.
If it weren't for An's mansion being the ancestral home of An's family, he would have wished he could just flatten the heavy building and completely clear and bury the past. Ding Shoucai tidied it up.
When Liu Xi'er was replaced as the chief housekeeper, he naturally knew what the elder was thinking, and simply turned those yards into a warehouse for sundries, which satisfied An Jiamu.
An Ran didn't know about these things, but Auntie would never believe that An Jiamu would be so ruthless. In her mind, even if she was not favored in An Mansion for so many years, she should be stronger than the other sluts. some.
Even, during the period of time when she was sent out from the mansion, she always thought that the Elder Master would take her back soon and continue to be the aunt of the An Mansion. How can a man become an infatuated species for such a cheap girl? He must have been stunned by the cheap girl and sent them out in a moment of confusion. When the enthusiasm passes, he will naturally take them back , even if others can't go back, she can go back. After all, she has served the old man for so many years, so she must have some affection.
Then one day or two days, one month and two months, a year passed, and she didn't wait for the sedan chair to pick her up at Anfu, but instead waited for the good news that the bitch was pregnant and gave birth, so Auntie had no choice but to believe the rumors outside Well, the old man who used to be a wanderer has really become an infatuated man, and he hangs around that bitch every day.
Even so, there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, I hope that An Jiamu still thinks about herself in her heart, and Haoyu's words today are like a blow to the head, completely waking up Auntie, the child's words are the most true, and will not deceive her, He hated it even more in his heart, but on his face he showed a kind and distressed look.
Haoyu is only five years old, so it's hard to tell if it's true or false, and he just met his mother, and now seeing his aunt, he feels very kind, thinking of his mother, he couldn't help saying: "Auntie, can you tell uncle?" Let my mother go home, Haoyu misses her every night, but she can't see her."
The auntie burst into tears: "My poor child, if you say that the second master is really cruel, then the madam has made such a big mistake. After all, they are husband and wife, so it's just for the sake of the two of you, so you can't be so ruthless. Now, I married a stepmother for you. As the saying goes, there is a stepmother and a stepfather. I don’t know how to trouble you in the future. When she gives birth to a son, the two young masters will really become thorns in the flesh. gone."
Although Hao Si is smart, he is still a child after all, he was already sad because he lost his mother, and there was something wrong with the servant's house a few days ago.
Zhao Wu, the steward of the garden, his wife died last year, leaving behind two boys who were about the same age as him and Haoyu, but the first thing was fine. He married a new wife last month. When this wife came in, she didn't treat the two boys hard. It's just scolding, not being allowed to eat is even more common. The two children couldn't bear it, so they ran out and jumped into the river secretly. When they were fished out, the corpses were soaked.
The housekeeper kicked Zhao Wu and his wife out, but the children were gone. The servants in the mansion talked about it for a long time, and at this moment, their father wanted to marry his stepmother to come in.
Although Hao Si is not Hao Yu who curls up under the blanket and cries every day, he is naturally afraid in his heart. Hearing what his aunt said now, how can he think about analyzing the purpose of his aunt? My aunt has always been close, so she regarded her as a good person, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, what do you think Haosi should do?"
The aunt was secretly happy, but she sighed pretendingly: "Speaking of which, I heard that the second master didn't have such a heart at the beginning. It was the eldest lady who persuaded your uncle to make this marriage. It is said outside that the eldest lady is a Bodhisattva, looking at it now, it's really hard to explain this thought."
Hao Si frowned: "Auntie is a good person and treats us very well. Auntie shouldn't say that about Auntie."
The auntie smiled: "Silly boy, how old are you? You don't know what adults are thinking. Think about it, how did your mother be sent to Zhuangzi? She's not a lady."
Hao Si shook his head: "It's none of Mrs.'s business. My mother made a mistake. Father told us clearly about this matter."
The aunt was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect An Jiayan to say this to the child, her eyes flashed: "Your mother is at fault, isn't it also because of you two brothers? Think about it, since your little cousin was born, You uncle, don't you love you very much?"
Haosi's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "The little cousin is a child that my uncle finally had, and he is very cute. He is young, so uncle should love him."
The auntie shook her head: "I was born just now, and the days will be long in the future. To put it bluntly, only he is here, and your uncle will never love you as much as before."
After saying a few words, Haosi was flustered, but he thought of something, and shook his head: "My uncle also said that I asked my aunt to invite Mr. Mingyue from Jiangnan to let me study. Not only my uncle, but my aunt is also very good to us. My mother can't go back in this Zhuangzi now, but it's also because she made an irreparable mistake.
My father said that no matter who it is, they should be responsible for the mistakes they made, just like killing people to pay their debts and repaying money. According to my mother's mistakes, they should actually be sent to the Yamen for questioning, but my uncle didn't The reason why I did this is because I told Haoyu, my father, that our family will never let uncle down. Fortunately, my aunt gave birth to Dudu, so we should treat Dudu as my own younger brother, so that we can live up to our uncle's love. After a lot of painstaking efforts, and Dudu is indeed our younger brother, right Haoyu? "
Haoyu nodded: "Well, Dudu is very cute, even though he is small, he will smile at me."
When the aunt saw that this road was blocked, she immediately changed her face: "Is Dudu your cousin's name?"
Haosi nodded, the auntie looked sad, and she shed tears even more: "I should have a child, if I have a child, I won't lose all hope now, if I think about it, if I can have a child Son, you should be like Dudu, if only you could meet him."
Haoyu said: "It's not difficult to see Dudu, my aunt will come back home with us, and I'll take you there to see Dudu."
Hao Si hurriedly covered Haoyu's mouth, seeing the pitiful look of the auntie, Hao Si couldn't help but feel compassion: "If the auntie really wants to see Dudu, I will tell my auntie when I go back, so you can see me." See you doot."
Haoyu nodded: "Auntie is the best. She often plays with Haoyu and makes desserts for Haoyu. It's delicious."
The aunt hurriedly said: "Now I am no longer a aunt, what do I have to do to bother the lady." She wiped her tears and said, "If I can meet in private, I can close my eyes even if I die immediately."
The two brothers glanced at each other, Hao Si couldn't bear it and said: "Why don't I take my aunt in to have a look at Dudu when I find a chance."
The aunt was overjoyed, but she sighed again: "It's so easy for the elder to have a son, so he must be careful, how can I get in."
Hao thought for a while: "Hou'er held a wedding banquet in Yashe. I heard that there were many distinguished guests. Uncles, aunts, and uncles all needed to go. Most of the servants and wives in the mansion were also transferred to help. At that time, the aunt just said It's from the Shangshu Mansion, so it's not difficult to bring you in, but the auntie has to promise me to just take a look."
Auntie nodded: "Just take a look and I'll come out."
But he hated in his heart, seeing the son of that cheap girl, what are you looking at, he just strangled him to death, anyway, he didn't want to live anymore, it was worth it to let the son of that cheap girl accompany him when he was dying.
Moreover, afterwards, I found out that Hao Si brought me in. With the personality of the second master, even his own son will not be relentless. When the father and son die young, and the brothers are at odds, the elder master will definitely regret it. Let's see who will say that bitch It is the lucky star, it should be the mourning star.
It's okay here, the two young men have also returned, and the aunt has long since hid in the woods, and Xing'er specially told Haosi Haoyu not to tell about her meeting with the aunt, the two The boy also frightened them a bit, and told them that if the matter of today was told, it would be very wrong for the two young masters to be left halfway, and with An Yuan's temperament, they would definitely be severely punished.
The two were afraid of being punished, and Haosi told them that they were not allowed to tell the matter. Of course, they dared not speak out. Haosi also ordered the servant to go back to the Zhuangzi, wake up Lao Cai, and tell him to drive the car back. Minister's Mansion.
The latter is an auspicious day. Anyuan, the big housekeeper, is in charge of the affairs of the two houses, and he also has to take care of the marriage affairs. His busy feet are no longer on his shoes, so it is inevitable that there will be negligence. In addition, he can rest assured after seeing the two young masters return safely. up.
After Lao Cai sobered up, he knew that he had caused a catastrophe. Now that he didn't mention it, he got a big deal. Naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to talk about meeting Xing'er. This matter was hidden under his nose. It's solid.
An Yuan rushed to the inner courtyard in a hurry, looked at the wedding room that was almost furnished, gave some instructions to his wife, and came to An Ran's side again to discuss the matter of the wedding banquet.
When An Yuan came over, An Ran was making snacks in the kitchen. Recently, she made snacks every day. They were Hao Si Haoyu's favorite. An Ran knew that the more she couldn't ignore the two children at this time, the two children were young. Sensible, it is impossible to truly understand the world of adults. There will definitely be resistance to their father marrying a stepmother, even if they don't say it, they will think so in their hearts.
From the fact that Haosi knelt outside Jiayan’s study all morning yesterday in order to see Mrs. Xie, it can be seen that even though Mrs. Xie committed a heinous crime, she is the mother of two children. Blood is thicker than water, and the relationship between mother and child can never be changed. .
The only thing An Ran can do is to make some snacks that the two children like to eat, so that the two children can be happier. What she made today is Haosi's favorite colorful crystal cup...
(End of this chapter)
With regard to this marriage, the Xie family, who should have stepped forward the most, did not make any movement, which made many people wonder secretly, thinking that although the Xie family is now in decline, such anger can be tolerated, and it is really self-cultivating.
Who knows the cause and effect here, even if the Xie family held back their anger, there was nothing they could do.On the day when Xie's affairs were found out, An Jiamu specially asked someone to call Xie Niang's parents over, and told them all the things their daughter had done in front of them.
An Jiamu knew in her heart that no matter how vicious Xie Yiniang was, she was only a newly married bride back then, how could she be so bold, even if she had the courage, how could she have come up with such a detailed plan.
What's more, Xie's family didn't accompany any shop, but only a spice shop, which is really weird. When they are linked together, people can't help but think about it. In addition, the branch of Xie's mother, except her mother gave birth to her and two This brother, the other aunts and concubines have nothing to do, how similar this situation is to his Anfu, who is behind this trick, you don't need to think about it.
The reason why An Jiamu called Xie Yiniang's parents over to clarify the matter was that one was to let the Xie family calm down and not dare to make trouble, and the other was to indirectly tell Master Xie to see what a vicious wife he had married.
Compared with himself and Jiayan, this old man has been calculated all his life, and he is the most pitiful one. Sure enough, when Xie Niang's parents returned, there was news that Mrs. Xie's wife died of a sudden illness.This is to cover up the ugliness, no one does not know that the old lady of the Xie family hanged herself, she hanged herself as soon as she returned from Anfu.
The Xie family had already lost power, and now that the God of Wealth, Anfu, is gone, it is getting worse every day. Even if An Jiayan now stops his wife and remarries, and the trouble is well known, the wronged Xie family does not dare to stand up for the Xie family. , I understand in my heart that if I really find out what Xie has done, I am afraid that even the name of Mrs. Shi Lang will be lost, and I will have to be sent to the Yamen for questioning. I have no other choice but to swallow this useless mouth.
I know even more in my heart that this Shangshu Mansion, an An family, and the king of Xiaoyao County, how can they afford to provoke the Xie family? I can only blame Xie Niang for not living up to her expectations. She has done so many immoral things. As for digging people's ancestral graves, it's already luck to be able to end up like this, so how can you dare to be troublesome.
It's just that Xie's family doesn't have many things to do, so of course there are many things to do. They are busy with happy events here, but they don't know that two men and women with ulterior motives have entered Beijing. They are Xing'er and Da Yi Niang.
Speaking of these two people, they are like dogs of a feather. They came here to find Mrs. Xie. Although they knew that Mrs. Xie had fallen out of favor, in Zhuangzi, but as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. You can also have some money.
If it wasn't for the short life of that old guy Ding Shoucai, who would have come all the way to the capital? Last time Xing'er went to the Ding family to ask for money, but the old guy didn't come up in one breath, he was so angry that the two of them had nothing to do before thinking of Mrs. Xie.
Auntie hates this in her heart, hates Hua Guzi who doesn't care about anything when she has a man, hates Xing'er, a bastard, not to mention occupying her body, and squandering all the money she has saved over the years, finally forcing her to hold onto it. He sold his yard and lived with him in Guzi Temple.
My aunt hated An Ran even more, if it wasn't for this cheap girl who seduced the Eldest Master, she would still be living a comfortable life in An Mansion, even if she was not favored, she would not have ended up like this, let a servant control her.
Auntie knows very well that Xing'er still can't let go of herself now, and when this beast really has nowhere to go, she will definitely sell herself. If she really gets to this point, she might as well die.
In fact, she doesn't want to live now, she has no hope, what's the point of living, but, even if she dies, she can't make the poor girl feel better, why is she so miserable, and she is her lady in Anfu? .
She has been thinking about these ideas for a long time, but the first Ding Shoucai is still alive, and Xing'er still has places to steal money, so she will definitely not listen to her. Now that Ding Shoucai is gone, and Ding Shoucai's wife is extremely powerful, if she speaks out, Xing'er dares to come to the door again Blackmail, send him to the Yamen.
This person is dead, no matter how many bad things he has done, who cares, Xing'er has no handle in his hands, so he cut off the Ding family's source of income.
The woman in Xing'er's house was not peaceful either, seeing that he would not go back, she simply packed up and ran away with a businessman, and this beast was all about dragging herself to suffer with him.
The auntie lured Xing'er to the capital by the pretext of coming to the capital to find Xie's money.When I entered Beijing, I heard people talking about the marriage between the Shangshu Mansion and the Shilang Mansion.
Xing'er saw his aunt's face was sallow, and thought that if she was sick, she would have to find a doctor and spend money. Moreover, this woman was his only cash cow. Why not sell it for a few bucks.
Xing'er thought about it, but if he really couldn't get any money, he would sell this girl to a kiln in a few days. Fill your belly with a bowl of plain noodles.
It was already past noon, and there were not many people at the noodle stall, only two men at the next table, who would not leave after eating, lit a bag of cigarettes and chatted their teeth there: "I was just in time for the appointment of the minister's mansion, and the gold and silver Jewels, pearls, agates, what do you really want, almost blinded people, don’t you all say that the servant is a big and honest official, where did you get all the money?”
The man next to him took a puff of his cigarette and glanced at him: "Are you stupid or not? The servant has a lot of money. Isn't it all because of his brother's ability to do such a big business? There are gold mountains and silver mountains, not to mention, and now he is married to the world's number one chef.
Although this Chef An was born as a girl, he is an excellent cook. He has gained such a great reputation in just one year. He even opened Fuchunju in Qizhou, Yashe in Suzhou, and Yashe in our capital. It was also opened by her and Xiaoyao County King, otherwise, you have heard of someone who has such a big table that the wedding banquet can be placed in Yashe.
I heard that Ya She can eat casually without 800 taels of silver. How much silver can you say for the wedding banquet in the Minister's Mansion? I was lying on the kang last night, counting for An's family, and my heart hurts. "
"Hehehe, you are a pain in the ass. It's not about spending your family's money. Besides, your little possessions can be worth a few taels of silver if you sell them. How dare you open your teeth. But, speaking of it, Chef An , He is really a Wangfu. Although Mr. An sent all the women in the mansion out, since he married this man, the An family has become even more incredible. Now the business of Anji Restaurant is also booming. Where is this? It's marrying a daughter-in-law, obviously marrying a grandma who is the god of wealth."
"No, think about it, Mr. An used to have many women, but none of them laid eggs. They raised them for so many years for nothing. Now Chef An has only been in the door for a year, and he has a big fat boy. Who wouldn't treat such a daughter-in-law as a treasure."
"That is to say, in the past, those women were all Kefukezi's mourners. They should have been kicked out a long time ago. If they had been kicked out earlier, there might be several young masters in Anfu now."
Auntie gritted her silver teeth when she heard this, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled with anger, why did she become a funeral star, and that cheap girl became the lucky star of Vanves, dreaming, even if she dies badly, then The cheap girl didn't want to live a comfortable life, she put down her chopsticks, turned around and went out.
Xing'er hurriedly pulled the noodles in the bowl into his mouth, and chased them out after paying for the noodles. Seeing that the aunt's face was ugly, she couldn't help saying: "What are you doing with such idleness, we just want to live our own lives well anyway."
The aunt raised her head abruptly, looked at him and sneered: "Our own life? Who is with you? If it wasn't for this bitch who forced her way in, I would still be the aunt in the house now, and you are nothing more than a slave. If you dare to talk to me like this, you will be beaten to pieces."
Xing'er's face turned gloomy, and he laughed a few times: "At this time and at that time, you used to be a high-ranking aunt, but now it's not the same as being in my body. Are you screaming? Now I heard that Chef An is famous and profitable. Wang Fu gave birth and felt uncomfortable. What did you do long ago? If you hadn't colluded with Mrs. Xie to kill the two young masters, the first lady would not have died in grief.
If the eldest lady is not dead, how could this girl An Ran marry into An's family even though she has great abilities? This is all your own fault, and no one can blame you. I advise you to accept your fate, it's not like that I can't ask for it, so I still think about where to find Xie for some money, and return to Jizhou as soon as possible. "
The auntie really wished she could stab Xing'er to death, but then she thought about it, what's the use of dying with such a bastard, it's all because of that cheap girl An Ran that she ended up in the current situation.
The eyeballs rolled around, but they thought of a poisonous plan. At night, the two found an inn to stay. The aunt wanted to coax him, so she used all her means to serve him, making him happy.
After the moment was over, the two lay on the kang, and the auntie said: "This is not a long-term solution after all. The Xie family has already lost power. Although she still has the name of Mrs. Shi Lang, who still takes her seriously?" , so let's find her, she can't protect herself now, can she have some money for us."
As soon as Xing'er heard it, it made sense: "According to what you say, our visit is not in vain."
Auntie shook her head: "Why did you come in vain? I have an idea. Since we are here, why don't we go out and do something big, extort more money, and then go far away to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live our comfortable life?" , wouldn’t it be better than nesting in Jizhou.”
Xing'er told her that she was moved and hurriedly said: "How can you go all out, what's the big deal?"
The aunt leaned over to his ear and whispered a few words.
Xing'er was startled, and hurriedly pushed her away: "You, you are crazy, isn't it easy to provoke the Anfu? You have been with the old man for so many years, don't you know the old man's temper? It's so easy to get a son. Don't be like a baby, we play the child's idea, with the temper of the old man, how can he spare us, or steal the chicken or lose the rice, and put our lives in it, this thing can't be done."
The aunt snorted: "Come on, I usually say that I am brave, but I just talk about it. You are so courageous, I think you are smaller than a mouse. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are found in danger. There is silver, where is your turn to pick it up, it is because of this baby that we can get more silver, just relying on this child, it is not a problem to ask him for 1 to [-] silver."
1 to 1?Xing'er's eyes flashed across piles of silver, his eyes lit up, he had never seen so much silver in his life, if he had [-] to [-] silver, why would he go to a gambling shop and eat while lying down? chant.
My mind became active, and when I thought of An Jiamu, I felt a little scared: "You said it lightly, this child is the only heir of the eldest family of Anfu, and there are not many people in front of me, not to mention, it is impossible for such a young child Come out and stay in the inner house of the mansion every day, how can we have a chance."
Auntie: "Don't worry, I have my own way of thinking about this. Let's go to Xie Shiguan's Zhuangzi tomorrow. Now that the second master stops his wife and remarries, even if he doesn't care about Xie Shi, he must feel guilty for the two children. As I expected That's right, before the big day in the Shi Lang's mansion, the second master will definitely let the two young masters come to the Zhuangzi to visit their mothers, so we will have a chance."
Xing'er was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't you say you were going to tie up the lord's precious son? Why are you thinking about the second house again?"
The aunt gave him a blank look: "An Mansion is heavily guarded, can you get in or can I get in? You and I can't get in, but Hao Sihao is perfect, and the father is married to the stepmother. The two children are the most beautiful at this time." Weak and easy to get confused, as long as they are properly coaxed and arouse their hatred for that bitch, it won't be difficult to help us take the child out."
Xing'er pointed at her and said: "No wonder everyone said that my aunt has a deep heart and has means. Now Xing'er has really learned the lesson. My aunt is really the best of girls. She can think of such vicious tricks."
Auntie pushed him away: "Don't think of yourself as a good person, you are something good, let's not talk about anyone."
Seeing that she was annoyed, Xing'er quickly hugged her and coaxed her: "I'm just joking, why am I so annoyed, but we have to discuss this matter, where can I hide this child? How to find the An family to extort money? You know, this is the capital city, we are not familiar with the place, and with the power of the old man, we have both the government and the Jianghu. This treasure is lost, and I am not satisfied with the crazy search of the world. .”
Auntie: "You are stupid, send a letter over there, specify a place for him to put the silver, and let him go to get it out after he walks away, that's all, and, what are you afraid of? As long as there is a child in hand, An Jia No matter how powerful Mu is, as long as he has the child's life in mind, he will not act rashly, we carried the child with the money, ran away, left the child by the side of the road, and walked away, it was too late for him to chase after him."
Although Xing'er felt that what Auntie said was too easy, but she was tempted by Yin Zi, and she agreed without thinking about other things.
The aunt secretly thought that she was an idiot, the old lady was already tired of living, and it was worth it to be able to take that low girl's child to be buried with her when she was dying. As for Xing'er, a bastard, she should have died a long time ago.
The two discussed it properly, settled the store money the next day, and ran to the village in the suburbs while scanning and listening.
There are several Zhuangzi in the capital city alone. The Zhuangzi in Xie's Pass is the most remote, with no ghosts around. The two of them were cats in the woods not far from Zhuangzi, waiting for Hao Si The Haoyu brothers came over.
They waited for a day in vain, but they didn't see anyone. They had almost enough money to spend, and they couldn't go back to the city. Seeing a ruined temple not far ahead, the two simply stayed in the temple. A painstaking person.
When the two of them arrived at the grove that day, they saw a carriage approaching from a distance. When they got closer, Xing'er recognized the driver as Lao Cai from the servant's mansion.
This old guy has a problem with drinking. The two of them thought that this old Cai has been in Beijing all year round, and he doesn't know much about the Anfu in Jizhou. They probably don't know Xing'er now, and he has lost his job. Therefore, Xing'er used to be the most conversant. Suitable.
The two made up their minds, and when Haosi Haoyu got out of the car and entered the Zhuangzi, Xing'er straightened her clothes and walked over.
Lao Cai was sitting on the shaft of the car smoking a pipe, when he heard someone calling him, he thought that it would be impossible to meet acquaintances in the wilderness, if he didn't send the two young masters here, he would never want to come to this ghostly place for the rest of his life. Looking over, he recognized Xing'er, the steward of Anfu in Jizhou, and couldn't help being stunned: "It's steward Xing, why are you here?"
As soon as Xing'er heard him call her Xing Guanshi, she knew that she had guessed right, this foolish old guy didn't know that he had lost his job, and he still regarded himself as the steward of Anfu, so it was really God's help.
Hehe smiled: "What else can I do, Zuo is just running an errand for the master."
Lao Cai had met Xing'er a few times before, knew that he was a talkative celebrity in the manor, and thought he was here to do something for the old man, so he didn't dare to ask more.
Wan Xing'er said, "It's so easy to meet here. When I first came here, I saw a tavern with a shed in front of me. Why don't we go and have a few drinks?"
Seeing that he was hesitant, he couldn't help saying: "Don't worry, just have a few drinks, it won't delay the business."
Lao Cai thought about it, but it is true. Today, I am sending the two young masters to meet their mother. The mother and son have not seen each other for a long time. This meeting is not sure how close they are. It is estimated that I will not be able to come out within two hours. Rather than waiting here foolishly, it's better to have a drink with Guanshi Xing.
Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed, let Xing'er get in the car, drove the car, and went to the tavern that Xing'er said. What kind of tavern is it? There is wine.
Xing'er asked the boss to pack two side dishes, took a jar of wine, and ate with Lao Cai. After three drinks, Lao Cai's mouth was no longer able to control the door. Bald outside.
"Guanxing Xing, let me tell you, our servant's mansion has changed now, and you probably know that our servant is going to marry the second wife."
Xing'er followed him and said: "Our second master is in a high position, let alone marrying a second wife, even marrying a third or fourth wife is nothing new."
Lao Cai: "How do you know what's going on here? This second housewife is from a higher family background than the first Mrs. Xie. She is a daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. She said she came to serve our second master as a young lady, but this background just overwhelms Xie." Mrs. Shi has one head.
In addition, this marriage is a great matchmaker made by Prince Xiaoyao, the grandeur has shocked the capital, and a wedding banquet will be held in the elegant house. In this way, who remembers who the big house is? I cried a few times in secret.
Although the child is young, he also understands in his heart that no matter how bad this mother-in-law is, she is better than the stepmother. After all, Master Haosi is older. He was thinking about Mrs. Xie, and he knelt outside the master's study all day yesterday. The master agreed to let the two young masters come over to see Mrs. Xie today, it's a pity to see her. "
Xing'er: "You're just worrying about it. No matter what, you're still the second wife. How can you go past Mrs. Xie? When it’s time to pick it up, it’s naturally still Mrs. Dafang.”
Lao Cai shook his head: "I think you are often in Jizhou, and you don't know about our Beijing affairs. Let me tell you, this Mrs. Guo is no better than Mrs. Xie. She is very good at being a person. She hasn't entered the door yet, just like our eldest lady." The fight was very hot, otherwise, how could there be a wedding banquet in Yashe, who would not know that this Yashe is a business jointly authored by our wife and Xiaoyao County King, it would be difficult for dignitaries to go.
Besides, those betrothal gifts were all dug out from the storeroom by the Da Furen one by one, picking out the good ones, and even Mrs. Guo's dowry was posted by the Da Furen. "
Xing'er didn't believe it: "This is nonsense. If a dignified Shangshu's mansion marries a daughter, the in-law's family can't get the dowry. I heard that Guo Shangshu and his wife have no children, so I recognized such a daughter, just like my own. You only go out once in your life, and you can still wrong your daughter."
Lao Cai: "Master Guo is a well-known upright official in our Great Yan Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is not easy to support him with the little salary of the imperial court. We can't save enough money. That day Da Furen invited Shang Shufu to come and enjoy the flowers. Just returning from the outside, I took a look in front of the gate. The clothes and jewelry on my body are really shabby. Although our eldest lady doesn’t like to dress up, any item on her body is a priceless treasure. Think about it, such a minister How can the government buy a decent dowry?"
Xing'er was even scratching his head when he said these words. Now that his money is tight, and he is almost out of food and drink, when he thinks of the white money, how can he not be unmoved? Although he is afraid of An Jiamu in his heart, isn't it? There is a saying, okay, if the brave die and the timid starve to death, I have no way out anyway, so I did this to get him [-] to [-] silver, and took my aunt to fly away and live a comfortable life.
Although my aunt is evil-minded and the city is deep, Ke Xing'er really can't bear it. The girl is a coquettish, after all, she is old, and she is a nun, so it is unreasonable to kidnap her to live. It's not rare, this sleeping aunt, isn't she the old man, what do you want if you have money and women in this life.
Thinking of this, he became even more persuasive, and Lao Cai drank too much, and Xing'er took some effort to get him into the car, put on his bamboo hat, and drove back to Zhuangzi.
As soon as the car was parked at the door, Haosi Haoyu and two brothers came out of it not long after. The eyes of the two boys were red, and they cried hard when they saw it.
Followed by two young men, the two young men are not very old, only eleven or twelve, when they saw a stranger sitting in the car, they were taken aback, and hurriedly blocked the two young men behind them: " Who are you? Where is Lao Cai?"
Xing'er didn't panic, he glanced at them, got out of the car and saluted: "Xing'er greets the two young masters."
The two young servants were stunned for a moment, then looked at the young master, Hao Si was stunned: "Are you really happy?"
The two of them were young, and they didn't go back to Jizhou very often. They only went back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and they also set up a family business. There were servants, clerks, shopkeepers, accountants, I don't know how many, and sometimes they would transfer errands to each other. The two of them are still young, and it is impossible for them to be informed of such trivial matters. Therefore, Haosi Haoyu didn't know that Xing'er lost his job. Like Lao Cai, it was only because his father was getting married that he was transferred to work on something. up.
Another thought was wrong, since I was busy with work, why did I come here, this village is located in a remote place, and there is no Anji business nearby, what is Xinger doing here?
Thinking of this, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xing'er came quickly, and when he rolled his eyes, he had an idea: "To tell you the truth, the young masters, the younger one is here to deliver something to Mrs. Xie."
Hao Si knew that the food they ate was all produced in Jizhou. Jizhou has a lot of fields, and his uncle had bought good seeds early in the morning, and specially planted the best food for the family to eat. Even so, thinking of his mother's appearance, Hao Si I was also extremely sad in my heart. After a while, his mother was so haggard and haggard that she was not as good as the maid in the mansion. She sat on the porch in a daze, staring at the sky in a daze, like a living dead. It took a long time to see their brothers. Come to yourself.
Xing'er secretly looked at his face, when she saw the two villains with sad faces, she knew she must be pitying their mothers, at this time, as long as they fan the flames, what do children know, what the auntie planned, It is estimated that it will be sure.
Thinking of this, he said, "Lao Cai has had too much wine, and it happens that Xing'er has to go to the capital too. Why don't you let Xing'er drive the car to take the two young masters back home."
Only then did Haosi find Lao Cai who was smelling of alcohol next to the car, and frowned, thinking that he was going along the way, he nodded and asked someone to drag Lao Cai into the village to sober up, and the brothers took two young men into the car .
Xing'er had done his tricks a long time ago, when the car went to the grove, the wheel broke down, and he couldn't go, so he had to get off the car. Using this excuse, he sent two servants away, and asked them to drive another car over to the village. .
The two young servants hurriedly said: "There are no livestock on the Zhuangzi, where did you get the carriage?"
Xing'er glared at them, and said angrily: "Your heads are just for show, we can't settle down in Beijing with just this Zhuangzi."
The two glanced at each other: "But the nearest Zhuangzi is four or five miles away. Let's go, what should the two young masters do?"
Xing'er snorted: "Aren't I a human being? When I was in charge, you two boys were still breastfeeding in your mother's arms. Don't worry about leaving the young master to me."
The two young men glanced at each other, still feeling inappropriate.
But Haosi said: "You go, Xing'er is an old man in Anfu, it's okay to have him here." Then they went.
Xing'er was secretly happy, but when he turned around, he met Hao Si's eyes.
Hao Si is eight years old this year, not as smart as his younger brother Hao Yu, and therefore, some things can't be hidden from him. What are you doing looking at Xing'er like this?"
Hao Si said: "You spent so much effort to get Lao Cai drunk, and dismissed my two boys, you just want to sit here for a long time."
Xing'er's heart skipped a beat: "Big, what are you talking about, Xing'er, why can't Xing'er understand?"
Hao Si pointed to the wheel of the wheel: "The crack on the top is obviously a new fork. According to the housekeeper's rules, every carriage that comes out must be carefully inspected more than three times the day before. It is absolutely impossible for the wheel to crack halfway. Yes, although Lao Cai is greedy for drinking, there is no place that sells wine near Zhuangzi. When he came, he saw a shed selling food, but it was not very close to Zhuangzi. Where to go to eat and get drunk, the most likely is to be invited by acquaintances, and Lao Cai and you are both old people in Anfu, so they are naturally familiar with each other, and you also have a strong alcohol smell, so you can see that you are inviting Lao Cai to drink What’s more, it’s you, what’s more, you just tried to get rid of the boys in front of me because you thought they were in the way.”
Xing'er's scalp exploded after talking, and he thought that this is really a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and the child of a mouse can make holes. I heard that the second master was a child prodigy since he was a child, extremely smart, and he had read the book once. I can remember that after entering Beijing, I was admitted to the number one scholar, and now I am in a high position at a young age.
Hao Si is so clever, he is the second master, now that this kid sees it, what should he do, kill him to silence him?Don't dare, besides, if you really kill these two people, who will go to the waste of money.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the voice of my aunt: "Young master Haosi is really exactly like the second master. I used to hear the elder master mention how smart the second master was when you were your age. I didn't believe it at first, but now I see it. It's real."
Hao Si was stunned when he saw Auntie, but Haoyu had already rushed over: "Auntie, why are you here?"
Because of Mrs. Xie's collusion with her aunt, when Mrs. Xie lived in Jizhou, she naturally got close to her aunt. Among An Jiamu's concubines, Haosi Haoyu was the closest to her aunt. Auntie is sure of the reasons for persuading Hao Si.
He hugged Haoyu tightly, and patted Haoyu's head: "It turns out that Haoyu still remembers my aunt, and she just thinks that once she leaves Anfu, the two young masters will forget her."
Haoyu shook her head: "I've never forgotten, when we go back next year, my brother and I still want to visit the orchid courtyard where my aunt lives, but Liu Xier said that the orchid courtyard has been demolished long ago, and now it's changed to a miscellaneous place." The storehouse of things, don’t let us go.”
The aunt secretly gritted her teeth, and said to herself, the cheap girl pretended to be a good person, but she didn't even leave the yard where she lived, her heart was really vicious.
In fact, my aunt really wronged An Ran. An Ran never paid attention to these things. Moreover, since she chose to forgive An Jiamu, she would not care too much about the past. care about what you did before.
Therefore, An Ran never mentioned that she felt somewhat guilty towards An Jiamu's concubines in her heart. If it wasn't for herself, even if they fought non-stop, they would still be aunts in An's mansion, with a family and a family. Men, but their own appearance made them lose all of this.
Moreover, they are different from me. After all, I am a modern person. Even if I don't have a man, I will live a good life. These women, who have lost the protection of the Anfu, will probably be like this in their lives.
Later, An Ran asked Liu Xi'er in private, and learned that An Jiamu had placed these women properly, and it was a little easier, so she tried not to mention these past events, one was because of guilt, and the other was that she always brought up the past It hurts feelings too.
But the more she doesn't mention it, the more empty An Jiamu's heart is. This person tends to fall into misunderstandings. The more he cares about the person, the less confident he is. Especially An Jiamu knows An Ran's bottom line well. Anxiety, coupled with Lin Xing'er reminding him more than once of his criminal record, gradually became a knot in An Jiamu's heart.
If it weren't for An's mansion being the ancestral home of An's family, he would have wished he could just flatten the heavy building and completely clear and bury the past. Ding Shoucai tidied it up.
When Liu Xi'er was replaced as the chief housekeeper, he naturally knew what the elder was thinking, and simply turned those yards into a warehouse for sundries, which satisfied An Jiamu.
An Ran didn't know about these things, but Auntie would never believe that An Jiamu would be so ruthless. In her mind, even if she was not favored in An Mansion for so many years, she should be stronger than the other sluts. some.
Even, during the period of time when she was sent out from the mansion, she always thought that the Elder Master would take her back soon and continue to be the aunt of the An Mansion. How can a man become an infatuated species for such a cheap girl? He must have been stunned by the cheap girl and sent them out in a moment of confusion. When the enthusiasm passes, he will naturally take them back , even if others can't go back, she can go back. After all, she has served the old man for so many years, so she must have some affection.
Then one day or two days, one month and two months, a year passed, and she didn't wait for the sedan chair to pick her up at Anfu, but instead waited for the good news that the bitch was pregnant and gave birth, so Auntie had no choice but to believe the rumors outside Well, the old man who used to be a wanderer has really become an infatuated man, and he hangs around that bitch every day.
Even so, there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, I hope that An Jiamu still thinks about herself in her heart, and Haoyu's words today are like a blow to the head, completely waking up Auntie, the child's words are the most true, and will not deceive her, He hated it even more in his heart, but on his face he showed a kind and distressed look.
Haoyu is only five years old, so it's hard to tell if it's true or false, and he just met his mother, and now seeing his aunt, he feels very kind, thinking of his mother, he couldn't help saying: "Auntie, can you tell uncle?" Let my mother go home, Haoyu misses her every night, but she can't see her."
The auntie burst into tears: "My poor child, if you say that the second master is really cruel, then the madam has made such a big mistake. After all, they are husband and wife, so it's just for the sake of the two of you, so you can't be so ruthless. Now, I married a stepmother for you. As the saying goes, there is a stepmother and a stepfather. I don’t know how to trouble you in the future. When she gives birth to a son, the two young masters will really become thorns in the flesh. gone."
Although Hao Si is smart, he is still a child after all, he was already sad because he lost his mother, and there was something wrong with the servant's house a few days ago.
Zhao Wu, the steward of the garden, his wife died last year, leaving behind two boys who were about the same age as him and Haoyu, but the first thing was fine. He married a new wife last month. When this wife came in, she didn't treat the two boys hard. It's just scolding, not being allowed to eat is even more common. The two children couldn't bear it, so they ran out and jumped into the river secretly. When they were fished out, the corpses were soaked.
The housekeeper kicked Zhao Wu and his wife out, but the children were gone. The servants in the mansion talked about it for a long time, and at this moment, their father wanted to marry his stepmother to come in.
Although Hao Si is not Hao Yu who curls up under the blanket and cries every day, he is naturally afraid in his heart. Hearing what his aunt said now, how can he think about analyzing the purpose of his aunt? My aunt has always been close, so she regarded her as a good person, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, what do you think Haosi should do?"
The aunt was secretly happy, but she sighed pretendingly: "Speaking of which, I heard that the second master didn't have such a heart at the beginning. It was the eldest lady who persuaded your uncle to make this marriage. It is said outside that the eldest lady is a Bodhisattva, looking at it now, it's really hard to explain this thought."
Hao Si frowned: "Auntie is a good person and treats us very well. Auntie shouldn't say that about Auntie."
The auntie smiled: "Silly boy, how old are you? You don't know what adults are thinking. Think about it, how did your mother be sent to Zhuangzi? She's not a lady."
Hao Si shook his head: "It's none of Mrs.'s business. My mother made a mistake. Father told us clearly about this matter."
The aunt was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect An Jiayan to say this to the child, her eyes flashed: "Your mother is at fault, isn't it also because of you two brothers? Think about it, since your little cousin was born, You uncle, don't you love you very much?"
Haosi's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "The little cousin is a child that my uncle finally had, and he is very cute. He is young, so uncle should love him."
The auntie shook her head: "I was born just now, and the days will be long in the future. To put it bluntly, only he is here, and your uncle will never love you as much as before."
After saying a few words, Haosi was flustered, but he thought of something, and shook his head: "My uncle also said that I asked my aunt to invite Mr. Mingyue from Jiangnan to let me study. Not only my uncle, but my aunt is also very good to us. My mother can't go back in this Zhuangzi now, but it's also because she made an irreparable mistake.
My father said that no matter who it is, they should be responsible for the mistakes they made, just like killing people to pay their debts and repaying money. According to my mother's mistakes, they should actually be sent to the Yamen for questioning, but my uncle didn't The reason why I did this is because I told Haoyu, my father, that our family will never let uncle down. Fortunately, my aunt gave birth to Dudu, so we should treat Dudu as my own younger brother, so that we can live up to our uncle's love. After a lot of painstaking efforts, and Dudu is indeed our younger brother, right Haoyu? "
Haoyu nodded: "Well, Dudu is very cute, even though he is small, he will smile at me."
When the aunt saw that this road was blocked, she immediately changed her face: "Is Dudu your cousin's name?"
Haosi nodded, the auntie looked sad, and she shed tears even more: "I should have a child, if I have a child, I won't lose all hope now, if I think about it, if I can have a child Son, you should be like Dudu, if only you could meet him."
Haoyu said: "It's not difficult to see Dudu, my aunt will come back home with us, and I'll take you there to see Dudu."
Hao Si hurriedly covered Haoyu's mouth, seeing the pitiful look of the auntie, Hao Si couldn't help but feel compassion: "If the auntie really wants to see Dudu, I will tell my auntie when I go back, so you can see me." See you doot."
Haoyu nodded: "Auntie is the best. She often plays with Haoyu and makes desserts for Haoyu. It's delicious."
The aunt hurriedly said: "Now I am no longer a aunt, what do I have to do to bother the lady." She wiped her tears and said, "If I can meet in private, I can close my eyes even if I die immediately."
The two brothers glanced at each other, Hao Si couldn't bear it and said: "Why don't I take my aunt in to have a look at Dudu when I find a chance."
The aunt was overjoyed, but she sighed again: "It's so easy for the elder to have a son, so he must be careful, how can I get in."
Hao thought for a while: "Hou'er held a wedding banquet in Yashe. I heard that there were many distinguished guests. Uncles, aunts, and uncles all needed to go. Most of the servants and wives in the mansion were also transferred to help. At that time, the aunt just said It's from the Shangshu Mansion, so it's not difficult to bring you in, but the auntie has to promise me to just take a look."
Auntie nodded: "Just take a look and I'll come out."
But he hated in his heart, seeing the son of that cheap girl, what are you looking at, he just strangled him to death, anyway, he didn't want to live anymore, it was worth it to let the son of that cheap girl accompany him when he was dying.
Moreover, afterwards, I found out that Hao Si brought me in. With the personality of the second master, even his own son will not be relentless. When the father and son die young, and the brothers are at odds, the elder master will definitely regret it. Let's see who will say that bitch It is the lucky star, it should be the mourning star.
It's okay here, the two young men have also returned, and the aunt has long since hid in the woods, and Xing'er specially told Haosi Haoyu not to tell about her meeting with the aunt, the two The boy also frightened them a bit, and told them that if the matter of today was told, it would be very wrong for the two young masters to be left halfway, and with An Yuan's temperament, they would definitely be severely punished.
The two were afraid of being punished, and Haosi told them that they were not allowed to tell the matter. Of course, they dared not speak out. Haosi also ordered the servant to go back to the Zhuangzi, wake up Lao Cai, and tell him to drive the car back. Minister's Mansion.
The latter is an auspicious day. Anyuan, the big housekeeper, is in charge of the affairs of the two houses, and he also has to take care of the marriage affairs. His busy feet are no longer on his shoes, so it is inevitable that there will be negligence. In addition, he can rest assured after seeing the two young masters return safely. up.
After Lao Cai sobered up, he knew that he had caused a catastrophe. Now that he didn't mention it, he got a big deal. Naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to talk about meeting Xing'er. This matter was hidden under his nose. It's solid.
An Yuan rushed to the inner courtyard in a hurry, looked at the wedding room that was almost furnished, gave some instructions to his wife, and came to An Ran's side again to discuss the matter of the wedding banquet.
When An Yuan came over, An Ran was making snacks in the kitchen. Recently, she made snacks every day. They were Hao Si Haoyu's favorite. An Ran knew that the more she couldn't ignore the two children at this time, the two children were young. Sensible, it is impossible to truly understand the world of adults. There will definitely be resistance to their father marrying a stepmother, even if they don't say it, they will think so in their hearts.
From the fact that Haosi knelt outside Jiayan’s study all morning yesterday in order to see Mrs. Xie, it can be seen that even though Mrs. Xie committed a heinous crime, she is the mother of two children. Blood is thicker than water, and the relationship between mother and child can never be changed. .
The only thing An Ran can do is to make some snacks that the two children like to eat, so that the two children can be happier. What she made today is Haosi's favorite colorful crystal cup...
