Chapter 82
"Not reconciled?" Mrs. Gu took Xiao Ying's hand, patted it slowly and said, "Ying'er, don't worry."
"Why don't you rush, Xiao Ruan's marriage is settled." Xiao Ying pouted fiercely and cursed, "Who knows what tricks she used to confuse General Huo, don't think she can get married so smoothly. , I will definitely not let her have a good time."
At this moment, Xiao Ying's face was extremely ugly distorted by hatred and jealousy, not to mention comparing with Xiao Ruan at this moment, even the disfigured Xiao Ruan in previous life.
It's just that no matter how resentful and jealous Xiao Ying's mother and daughter are, time is still passing by, and soon the results of Qiu Wei came out, and Xiao Zhongheng won No.3 in the second class as expected.
"Great, great, great..." Ever since Mrs. Pei heard the news, she clapped her hands and said hello, and she repeated the three words over and over for almost an hour.
Xiao Zhongheng watched his wife walking around, he couldn't help laughing.
The two have been married for a long time, but Pei's emotions have always been revealed, but she is only thinking of him.
Young couples still have a long way to go. Although Mrs. Pei was not born high, she can be of the same mind as his husband and wife. Xiao Zhongheng's eyes are full of tenderness for Mrs. Pei.
"Miss, you're going to make me dizzy." Xiao Zhongheng couldn't help but make a sound, Pei's spinning around, even if he didn't make him dizzy, it would make her dizzy herself.
Hearing this, Mrs. Pei immediately sat upright on the seat next to Xiao Zhongheng, and said nervously: "In the future, Mr. Xiang will rise up step by step and earn his life for me. I can't be the same as before."
The two joked for a while, but they heard someone come forward to tell: "Young Master, Young Mistress, Auntie heard that Young Master went to high school, so I would like to ask Young Mistress to tell you about it."
"Auntie?" Xiao Zhongheng is soft-tempered, but after Xiao Ruan sold two maids last time, he became more wary of this aunt who has been controlling the maidservants around him.
Mrs. Pei, on the other hand, didn't doubt that there was him, she nodded and said, "Go back to Auntie, I'll be back later."
"Yes, Young Mistress." Hearing this, the servant turned around and left.
"Xianggong High School, my aunt must tell me some truths so that I can be a good helper to my husband." Mrs. Pei smiled and pulled Xiao Zhongheng's hand, "I ordered my servants to prepare dinner and come as soon as I go .”
Xiao Zhongheng didn't want to tell Mrs. Pei his suspicion, so he nodded and let Mrs. Pei go.
Mrs. Gu waited in the courtyard for a long time, and when she saw Mrs. Pei, a smile appeared on her face: "Isn't this Mrs. Zhuangyuan?"
"Sister-in-law is only No. 3 in the top two, please don't laugh at me, my aunt." Even though Mrs. Pei said that, the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden. What woman wouldn't want her husband to be competitive?
Now that Xiao Zhongheng has been elected, the happiest person is Mrs. Pei.
Seeing Mrs. Pei like this, Mrs. Gu felt disdainful. After all, she came from a small family and had no pursuit at all.
It's just that no matter what Gu's demeaning Pei is, he still said with a smile on his face: "Now that the young master has been elected, you will be an official wife in the future. Do you think about what to do in the future?"
"In the future?" Mrs. Pei looked at Mrs. Gu puzzled, "In the future, when my husband becomes an official, I will naturally be a good housekeeper, and my dealings with the wives in the backyard cannot hinder my husband."
Since ancient times, the relationship between officials and wives in the backyard may not be much simpler than that of men in the court.
Over the years, Mrs. Gu has always appeared in various banquets and private gatherings as the mistress of the Xiao Mansion, but this status is a level lower after all. Hearing Mrs. Pei's words, jealousy made her feel like a fire.
This damned Xiao Zhongheng didn't want to lift it, he gave him so many maids with so many medicines, yet he was able to win it!
It's all Xiao Ruan, if she hadn't sold those two maids, how could Xiao Zhongheng have a chance of winning!
"You really are a good person." Gu Shi looked like a loving mother, "It's just that you have ever wondered if there is something missing from the young master's side?"
"What's missing beside Xianggong?" Mrs. Pei thought of those two maids as her mind turned, a slight shadow cast over her bright mood.
Seeing the sudden change of Pei's face, Gu smiled slightly and said, "Look, where are you thinking?"
Mrs. Pei was inexplicably laughed: "Didn't Auntie say that we should get some beautiful concubines for Xianggong?"
"They are all women, so my aunt naturally knows how you feel." Gu sighed, and said half-truthfully, "Master has been carrying people from door to door all these years, what can we do as women?" Woolen cloth?"
Thinking that Xiao Zhongheng might bring those women back to the backyard one by one, Pei's mood slowly fell, and the smile on his face no longer stopped: "My aunt's lesson is that I will be a virtuous and generous mistress. "
When Mrs. Gu heard the word "mistress", she became even more jealous and uncomfortable, and slowly seduced Mrs. Pei with words like a poisonous letter.
"Since the love of husband and wife cannot be relied on for a long time, besides the status of mistress, do you know what can bind the young master?" Gu asked.
"The one who is tied to Mr. Pei?" Mrs. Pei couldn't react for a while, and asked doubtfully, "What did Auntie say?"
"Child." Mrs. Gu stopped being tricky and said straightforwardly: "Only if you can give birth to an eldest son, you can hold the Xiao family in your hands in the future."
Mrs. Pei's mind has always been single-minded, and she just nodded when she heard Mrs. Gu's words: "What my aunt taught me is that it is only about the children, and I am not the only one who has the final say."
"You are still young, this kind of thing requires two people to work hard together." Gu patted Pei's hand as if sincerely.
On this side, Li Qiuxia has been hiding in the backyard for a long time since Xiao Ying humiliated her in public last time, for fear that others would know that she had humiliated such a big person.
After the news of Xiao Zhongheng's Zhongju passed to Zhao Shi's ears, Zhao Shi looked at his daughter who was walking around in the courtyard every day, and when he rolled his eyes, he had an idea.
"Qiuxia, what do you think of this eldest son of the Xiao family?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Li Qiuxia's clothes with satisfaction. Although she didn't deliberately dress up, none of the clothes in Xiao's mansion were a thousand times better than what they wore before. times?
"Eldest son?" Li Qiuxia thought for a long time but couldn't remember who it was, she shook her head, "I just heard that he won No.3 in the second class a few days ago."
Mrs. Zhao snapped her fingers to Li Qiuxia: "In the past, he was the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion and the only male. From now on, the Xiao Mansion must be handed over to him. Now he has won the imperial examination with his own ability. It must be another official."
Li Qiuxia is still very clear about her mother's thoughts, but...
"Mother, he has a real wife!" Li Qiuxia said angrily, "I don't want to be a concubine."
Mrs. Zhao poked Li Qiuxia's forehead with her finger: "What kind of family do you think we can find as a big house?"
Li Qiuxia naturally knows that her family background is not good, not to mention the young mistress of the Xiao residence, I am afraid that the Xiao residence assigns her to a housekeeper, even the housekeeper of the Xiao residence may not be able to take a fancy to her.
"But mother, we are relatives of the old lady, won't the old lady let us be young?" Li Qiuxia asked with some hope.
"If she really helped us, she wouldn't just say a few words without pain that day!" Mrs. Zhao looked at Li Qiuxia's head, wishing she could open it with a hammer. what is it.
Li Qiuxia sighed a long time, remembering the conversation between the two maids who accidentally overheard by the wall that day.
"Are you helping your cousin wash clothes again?"
"Miss Biao, to put it nicely, she is a relative of the old lady, but in fact, isn't she just settled down in poverty to play the autumn breeze?"
"Take it easy, and be careful to hear it."
"So what do you hear? Two country folks, let's take Master Qiao's airs with me? That big cow has a bit of eyesight. When the mother and daughter came here, they didn't dress as well as us, but now they are putting on airs. "
"Who told you that you don't have such a distant relative as the old lady? If you want you, you can be a cousin."
"Bah! Who is rare, just them? They are the joke of the whole Kyoto now!"
……
The two servant girls walked away while talking, leaving only Li Qiuxia in place, digging out five long fingernail marks on the wooden pillar with her fingers.
"Qiuxia?" Mrs. Zhao persuaded her for a long time, but found that Li Qiuxia didn't seem to be listening, so she knocked Li Qiuxia with her elbow.
"Mother, don't talk about it, I don't want to be a little girl." Li Qiuxia eagerly rejected Zhao Shi's idea, pushed Zhao Shi, and ran out without thinking.
Who knew it would be such a coincidence, Xiao Zhongheng didn't want to be bored in the study as usual because Mrs. Pei came to the courtyard of Mrs. Gu and just released the list. Hit him.
Xiao Zhongheng has always adhered to the way of a gentleman, thinking whether a man and a woman will be close or not, he actually stepped aside.
Li Qiuxia, who kept her head down and only focused on running, couldn't stop her strength for a moment, and she climbed onto the tree while dodging.
"Ouch." Li Qiuxia covered the spot where she hit her head, and the irritability accumulated in the chat room with Mrs. Zhao just now found an outlet, cursing like a shrew, "Are you blind, don't you have eyes when you walk?"
Xiao Zhongheng is a scholar, why did he encounter a shrew who cursed at the street?For a moment, he froze in place, not knowing how to refute.
Li Qiuxia had seen Xiao Zhongheng a few times from a distance, after scolding someone, she took a closer look and found that she had scolded the eldest son of Xiao's mansion!
How can this be good?
Mrs. Xiao is obviously eccentric, even a concubine will protect her, let alone the eldest son?
"You, can't you help me up?" Li Qiuxia looked at Xiao Zhongheng, trying to put on a cute and pitiful appearance.
It's just that she had been a shrew just now, and she turned around all of a sudden, not only did she not seem to make Xiao Zhongheng feel pity, but she laughed a lot in her heart.
"A man and a woman can't kiss each other. If the girl is injured, I'll call a maid over." As he spoke, Xiao Zhongheng looked in the direction he came and went.
Li Qiuxia was still thinking about Mrs. Zhao's words, and subconsciously stopped her: "No need."
Xiao Zhongheng just has a soft personality and doesn't want to think of people in a bad direction, but he is not a fool.Such an obvious performance, if Xiao Zhongheng still can't see anything, I'm afraid Xiao Ruan will not be able to support this brother no matter how capable he is.
