Chapter 57: Rich Relatives (2)
Xia Zhi raised his hand and pinched Xiao Xialin's bun face: "Of course it's true." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Are you going or not? ”
Xiao Xia Lin grinned and went to look at Layue, seeing that Layue didn't speak, he also stretched out his little hand and pulled Layue's trouser legs.
"Layue, you say something." Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Layue looked at the summer solstice, then at her brother, and finally nodded. "Fourth sister, then I'll help you cook on the fire then."
"Okay, you two get over early." Xia Zhi nodded, although he didn't plan to let Layue and his brother do any work.
After a while, I heard a few people from the Luo family talking and laughing and came out of the east wing and went to the upper room. Layue glanced out the window and couldn't sit still. She asked Xia Zhi: "Fourth sister, shall we go and have a look?" ”
"Then let's go and see."
In the upper house, Mrs. Xia was on the kang, Xia's second aunt Luo Shi and the sisters of May and July were sitting on the edge of the kang, and Xia Zhu and Xia Yang were sitting on the bench underground.
Second Aunt Xia was leaning sideways and rolling up her sleeves, letting Mrs. Xia look at a glossy gold bracelet on her wrist. “…… I said no, Juanzi insisted on giving it to me, saying that my wrists were bare and not good-looking. I'm not used to wearing this thing, it's too heavy, and it falls straight into my hand! ”
There seems to be some disgust in what he said, but both his demeanor and voice are joyful, and he is quite ostentatious.
Old Mrs. Xia glanced at Aunt Xia's wrist twice, and then smiled and echoed her words. Because he saw the summer solstice and the wax moon coming, he also beckoned the two children to come over and take a look. "This bracelet is very well made, and it is not an ordinary good thing at first glance."
Second Aunt Xia was very proud, stretching out her arms for Xia Zhi and Layue to see. "Where do we see such good things! It's enough to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Xia Zhi took a look, and only felt that the color of the gold was good, but the workmanship didn't see anything particularly exquisite. Aunt Xia said that it fell from her hand, which is a bit exaggerated. The weight of the bracelet is only about one or two. If it's really pure gold, it's worth some money.
Aunt Xia showed off so much, of course she wanted to give her face, so Xia Zhi also followed Mrs. Xia to praise her.
Luo Zhi was almost dancing proudly, but complained to Mrs. Xia again, saying that the bracelet was too loose, and she was afraid of accidentally throwing it out.
"Just be careful when you do your work." Although she said this, Mrs. Xia still took out a roll of thread from the needlework basket, tightened the bracelet for Aunt Xia, and wrapped it with cotton thread in the flat mouth at both ends.
Aunt Xia was quite satisfied and said, "It's much better this way." Then he asked Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhi to look at May and July: "These two sets of new clothes were also given by their sister Juanzi." Not to mention the fabric, the style is the most fashionable in the city. As she spoke, she also asked May and July to stand up and give everyone a good look.
July immediately stood up and spun around in front of everyone. May, much more reserved, stood up, stretched her waist nonchalantly, raised her hand again, and touched her hair.
On May's head, there is an extra silver hairpin with a little oil.
Mrs. Xia said yes in a loud voice. Aunt Xia smiled proudly, and took out another ruler to show the big guy, saying that Juanzi gave Xia Zhu and Xia Yang two new clothes. "Old lady, look, this cloth has finished making clothes for their brothers, and there are still many young and old left, almost enough to make a dress for their father."
Mrs. Xia naturally agreed, and praised Juanzi again.
This Juanzi in everyone's mouth is a niece of Xia's second aunt Luo's mother's family, who became a relative a few years ago and married a small businessman in Fucheng.
"Second aunt, why is my sister Juanzi so rich?" Summer Solstice asked.
This sentence was asking about Luo's itch, and she sat up straight on the edge of the kang: "If you want to talk about Juanzi, it is a good fate, and she married a good family!" ”
Mrs. Xia has always echoed Luo's, in fact, she also has some doubts in her heart, and when she saw that Luo's willingness to speak, she also asked tentatively. "A few years ago, you went to the ceremony, and I heard you say that Juanzi married a small businessman in Fucheng. What kind of business did you do to make a fortune? ”
"Where do you make a fortune so quickly! It's all a good thing that fell from the sky! It was their sister-in-law who made the second grandmother for the rich man Tian Jiansheng, and she gave four hundred dollars of dowry silver alone, and the rest of the silk silk, satin, gold, silver and jewelry, are too many to count. Since I got married, I went back home, and I didn't take anything home. Luo's big mouth opened and closed, and his saliva flew sideways, "Thanks to our Juanzi is Wangfu, it has only been a few months since she married into their Zhang family, and their family has made this fortune." ”
So that's the case, no wonder Luo sent his two sons to live in Sodutian's grandmother's house before. However, what kind of second-room grandmother, what it sounds like, it should actually be a concubine.
Xia Zhi thought so, so he looked at Mrs. Xia. Old Mrs. Xia didn't have any expression on her face, and she didn't say anything. The second son is not her own son, and she is not close to her, she has always been polite to this second daughter-in-law, only saying good, not bad.
"Juanzi, that kid looks like he's blessed." Mrs. Xia took the soles of her shoes from the sewing basket and began to accept them.
"No, no one expected it. Juanzi's girl not only has a good life, but also good human nature, needless to say about the things she gave her grandmother and her father, look at a few of these things for our mother! …… If anyone has such a daughter, then they really don't have to worry about anything, and their relatives can follow and borrow light. Old lady, you haven't heard her say that her family has a mountain of gold and silver......"
Luo Che pulled Mrs. Xia and talked endlessly. Mrs. Xia listened well while doing her work, and only occasionally echoed one or two sentences.
Xia Zhi finally found a gap to say a word to Mrs. Xia: "Milk, let my uncle come to my house to eat at night." ”
Before Mrs. Xia could speak, Luo Shi was surprised to pick up the stubble: "Oh, sixteen, this is rich?" also knew to invite her uncle to dinner. Then please don't invite the second uncle and second aunt? ”
"Of course the second uncle and second aunt are willing to go, please invite me Sister May, July, Erzhu and Xiaoyang to go, Layue and Xiaolinzi to go." Xia Zhi smiled, "My father and mother are not at home, thanks to the big guy taking care of it." I didn't have anything to prepare, so I was embarrassed to invite my grandmother to go, so I went to my house with my sisters. ”
"Hey," Luo kept looking at the summer solstice, and said to Mrs. Xia, "Old lady, look at it, sixteen is quite exquisite." ”
Mrs. Xia already understood what Xia Zhi meant, so she said that she didn't need Zhang Luo: "You have this intention, and the big guys have received it." The family doesn't talk to each other, you children play as much as you like. "Tian is not at home, so in order to avoid a quarrel after the summer solstice, he does not invite adults, and invites children to come over for dinner, which means to be grateful to the big guys.
Because he didn't like to continue to listen to Roche's chatter, Xia Zhi made his words clear and came out of the upper room.
May and July then followed: "Sixteen, what are you going to do for dinner?" ”
