Chapter 22: Scramble

He Runian looked stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a little shame, and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves, Xu Shi hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile on his face: "The child is not sensible, don't worry about it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He Jiaxian felt more and more sorry for Xu, and when he saw Xu's eyes at her again and again, he couldn't bear to embarrass her, so he lowered his head and walked out.

He Runian felt a little more relaxed in his heart at this time, he was already guilty about the Xu family, but because of the man's face, he refused to admit his mistake, and at this moment, seeing the Xu family taking care of his majesty in front of his daughter, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I don't know that I have wronged you, after all, you and I have been married for almost twenty years." In the past, I just wanted to hide it from you first, and there was nothing bad about it. But now Chunjiao's belly is big, and she makes trouble from time to time, and she has a headache for her husband. ”

What He Runian couldn't help but said was that the cost of raising an outer room was much greater than he imagined, and the housework on weekdays was taken care of by the Xu family, and he didn't know how much silver taels it cost to maintain the dignity of the family, and to dress and eat.

Xu nodded: "I can save it, I just couldn't figure it out a few days ago, but now I understand the master's hardships through it." I didn't give birth to a son for my lord, and I'm sorry for the ancestors of the He family, and I'm so tired that my lord can't lift his head in front of his uncle and mother, so I shouldn't make trouble. She paused for a moment before saying: "It's just that Xian'er is going to leave the cabinet in a month, and I don't think she will be born at this moment, in order not to affect Xian'er's reputation, can the master slow down and wait for Xian'er to come in after he comes out of the cabinet, after all, she is married to such a high-ranking family?"

These words are reasonable, He Runian didn't expect it, and nodded hurriedly: "Your mind is good, I see that it is feasible." ”

Xu Shi said slowly: "Xian'er's dowry is also worth seventy-seven eighty-eight, except for the dowry sent by the Fang family, we will keep it, and the rest will be married back, and the other ......" She opened the box and gave He Runian a look, before he hesitated and said: "I want to accompany the Zhuangzi in the western suburbs to her, after all, except for the one that has a little weight, we are all flashy things." ”

He Runian hesitated, this Zhuangzi was the ancestral property left when the family was separated, and it was the foundation of the family.

Xu Shi said again: "The kind of person in the Fang family, if you are not generous when you enter the door, not to mention your aunt and sister-in-law, even if you are a maid and mother-in-law, you don't look at people with your eyes." Xian'er's temperament is as upright as you, and she is still married to a concubine, if she is stubborn, she will have no place to stand, and she is afraid that she will not even be able to call her subordinates. ”

He Runian thought of a well-read and knowledgeable girl, but she was going to marry a concubine born to a woman in a Qinglou, and she also felt very uneasy. He kept convincing himself that the Fang family was prosperous and wealthy, but he couldn't change the pride of the literati and light businessmen in his bones, and gradually felt guilty, so he nodded and agreed.

Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, she endured the humiliation and persuaded her with good words, it was nothing more than for these two cases, seeing He Runian agree, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

In the next month, He Jiaxian seemed to accept the fact that he was going to get married, and followed Xu's family to learn to be a female celebrity at home, although his hands and feet were clumsy, he could slowly keep up, but it hurt his eyes too much.

She was too deeply moved by Xu that day...... The mother's compromises turned out to be all for her decency in the end. She had no reason to make any more trouble-she was afraid that He Runian would be angry with the Xu family.

What's more, although Aunt Huang's words are not good, they also point out a fact - only if she lives well can she have the ability to take care of Xu and Jiahui. Otherwise, after Jiahui also gets married, if Chunjiao gives birth to a son, He Runian is a person who only cares about face and is unreasonable, and the Xu family is only afraid of a bleak evening.

Summer is gradually coming, and the satin gown on my body has been replaced by a thin shirt, but the material is not as good as last year's old clothes. He Jiaxian understood in his heart that the Xu family thought about the generosity of the Fang family, and was afraid that he would be looked down upon, and the family would even reduce food and clothing to add makeup to her.

She was very angry in her heart, several people in the family were tightened by clothes, why did her father still take a lot of money to raise Chunjiao outside? Just thinking that more is better than less, Xu's family is in charge of the house, she didn't say anything, she said it herself, she could only mention Xu's sadness, which made her feel depressed.

It's just that once he gets emotional, he can't help but mumble to He Jiahui. Where is He Jiahui's unbearable temperament, when He Runian went home for dinner, she deliberately picked and chose to cry poor at the dinner table, and Pear Blossom brought rain to have a sarcastic meal, which made He Runian angry and reprimanded her fiercely.

He Jiahui's face was full of makeup, and she cried and said, "After all, my father is looking forward to that son, how can he still have a place for me in his heart?"

He Runian said angrily: "It's against you!" Blowing his beard and glaring angrily, the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

He Jiahui was frightened by this, her face couldn't help but sneer, her tears stopped, the sobbing gradually stopped, she only lowered her head and didn't dare to come out, her hands were cramped and uneasy under her clothes, her face was pale, her teeth were biting her lower lip tightly, as if she was about to drip blood.

For a moment, you can hear a needle drop.

After a while, He Runian eased his emotions, put down the dishes and chopsticks by himself, and left angrily.

He Jiahui burst out crying and threw herself into Xu's arms: "I don't want to stay at home anymore, I want to go out." ”

The youngest daughter has suffered a lot of grievances at the hands of He Runian since she was a child, and the Xu family knows it. She is straightforward and straightforward, and she is used to not coaxing people to be happy, and He Runian, who is even more angry.

"It's okay, you can go out and live for a while, and then come back when your sister is about to get married. Xu Shi was afraid that before Chunjiao entered the door, He Runian's face would not be too good-looking, so in order to avoid another conflict between the father and daughter, they had to be separated.

"Well, I'm going to my aunt's house to see Tao'er. He Jiahui lowered his head and wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said with his nose.

He Jiaxian suddenly had an alarm bell in his heart, for fear that Xu would agree.

Therefore, without waiting for Xu to speak, He Jiaxian's face turned pale: "My aunt is not in good health, where can I withstand your noisy temperament, why don't you go to your uncle's house, your grandmother is good at needlework, you follow her to learn to do needlework, and you can have an explanation with your father." Xu glanced at He Jiaxian suspiciously, but he didn't say anything disagree.

He Jiaxian looked at He Jiahui's sullen and unhappy expression, and finally let go.

My uncle's house is in the town under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou City, more than 40 miles away from here, and the carriage has to travel for most of the day.

In the following days, the wind and waves were calm, except for Huang Que who came to ask for peace, He Jiaxian knew that he had returned to He Runian's door to study with him, and he was somewhat relieved.

Huang Que is well-informed, and people are also active, if he can really make a difference, he will be able to take care of Xu's one or two in the future. If there is no interest, she has nothing to lose, but she should repay his favor.

The weather is hot day by day, and June 25 is He Jiaxian's birthday, because the marriage is approaching, and there is nothing to do. Early in the morning, Xu got up and cooked her a poached egg and a bowl of longevity noodles, and was congratulated by Aunt Huang and Uncle Huang, and sent a red envelope, even if it was over.

He Jiahui gave a pearl hairpin inlaid with sapphires, He Jiaxian accepted it with a smile, and the two sisters tacitly agreed.

In the evening, after He Runian finished eating, he gave He Jiaxian a wolf pen as a gift. Because he came back early today, Xu invited him into the house to see the dowry for He Jiaxian, saying that it had just been prepared two days ago.

He Runian agreed with satisfaction, these days Chunjiao shouted that his body was too heavy and had no appetite, and he had been accompanied by him for dinner for two days in a row, and it was very late to come back, so he washed up and slept directly, and Xu Shi had no time to give him a look.

Just after reading the dowry, He Jiahui's complexion changed at that time, her pink face was red and white, she only bit her lip and didn't make a sound, and after a while, she strode past her parents with her feet and walked to her room.

He Runian's face changed suddenly, and he pointed at He Jiahui and said angrily: "Who provokes you, such a temper, there is no lady's appearance!"

He Jiahui was unhappy, she knew that the Xu family was going to marry the family's grange to the second sister, and when it was her turn, I was afraid there would be nothing left. She felt that she was the wronged party, and her father scolded her indiscriminately, becoming more and more aggrieved, and said with a crying voice: "What kind of lady I want, it's just a joke for people." Xu hurriedly said: "Where is this, who wants to laugh at you?"

He Jiahui's face was flushed, it could be seen that she was quite angry, her eyes were cast from afar and looked at He Jiaxian: "A little of the family's sub-industry is given to the second sister, and when it comes to me, I will marry alone, isn't it a joke that people look down on it?"

He Runian heard that she had not yet decided to marry, and she had already talked about the shameless style of the dowry, and became more and more angry: "The dowry is originally given as much as I love with your mother, what does it have to do with you?

He Jiahui said to He Runian's back: "What a loving father, one thing on the surface and one thing behind the other, don't you know anything when we are all fools?"
