Chapter 23 Separation
Xia Xiucai couldn't help but nod Xiaoyu's head with a smug smile and said, "This time, do you still say that your mother doesn't love you enough?" The guy who eats at someone else's house, hahaha, it should be that your mother snatched the coffin and gave it to you."
"Your mother said, when the time comes, you will also open a big restaurant, and invite a storyteller to talk about the legend every day, which paragraph you want to listen to. ”
Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Xia infatuately: "Mother, this is your enemy, right?"
Xiao Xia Pozi also smiled: "There are also conditions, so you can only talk about it in the north, and you can't talk about it in the south after passing the Hanyu Pass." Because he was too old to go north, he gave me the book. ”
Xiaoyu nodded reassuringly when she heard this, and there were words in her mouth: "Mother, don't worry, I will open the restaurant wide, and when the time comes, everyone will only know Xia Jiuye, and they don't know what Old Man Shi is." After that, he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times.
The second sister-in-law had a bad day, and I thought that the uncles and sisters-in-law would go out to play, and they could relax for a while. didn't think about it, Rulan couldn't be idle for a moment, at first she wanted her to play with her, but then she saw that the inn was deserted, even Wang Quan and the second brother's brothers also went out to have fun, how could Rulan still stay, crying and going out shopping. It's just that the second brother also went out at this time, where did she dare to take Rulan out alone.
Finally, the second brother came back, thinking that Rulan was afraid of him, so it would be good to be able to stop honestly for a while. Who would have expected that when Xu Liangqi and his wife came to visit, the second brother didn't help with anything, but the guests came, and their family didn't even see a ghost. Just like a child guarding the inn in the mountain, the second sister-in-law is really anxious that one Buddha is born, and the second Buddha ascends to heaven.
At this time, the guests also left, Rulan also slept, and the second sister-in-law went to sleep, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt uncomfortable. At this moment, Xiaoyu's arrogant laughter came from outside, and the second sister-in-law didn't know what she was laughing at, but she knew that she was very uncomfortable, and her tears couldn't help falling on the pillow anymore.
Starling is not much older than Xiaoyu, and he was also very envious when he heard this, and when he saw Xiaoyu take out the book from his arms to show it, he couldn't help but lean over: "Take a look at Starling too." Then he asked Mrs. Xiao Xia curiously: "I don't think that old man is easy to talk to, this book is not so good, right?"
Xiaoyu generously put the book in the hand of the starling, but said in his mouth: "Brother, you copy two copies for me." ”
Frightened, the starling brother hurriedly retracted his hand: "You iron rooster, the goose has plucked its feathers." ”
Xia Xiucai received: "It's not easy for this book to come, that old man has never seen outsiders." Xiao Xia's temperament is cold, she usually disciplines the children a lot, and she is less intimate, Xia Xiucai also feels quite rare: "Your mother and I were going back to the inn, and your mother said that you don't know how much you like this story when you scratch your ears and scratch your cheeks, so it's better to go back to the teahouse to see." Maybe I'll be able to buy the book. ”
"You haven't seen the appearance of the shopkeeper, oops, it's really infuriating, to say that the sky is broken, and you won't even let the door in. Guess how we got in?"
Xiaoyu jumped up suddenly, nodded and said, "It's not easy, go over the wall and go in." ”
Starling pulled Xiaoyu to sit down: "Mother must know it with reason and move with affection." The second child naturally has to be considerate of his parents. ”
The fifth brother shook his head: "My mother must have interceded with the shopkeeper." ”
The second brother laughed and said, "Dad, did you go over and push the little two, and my mother went in." ”
Xia Xiucai was stunned, he originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that each child's method was different, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Your mother just asked for pen and ink, drew a prayer post, and wrote a big Luo character." Speaking of which, I didn't know your mother's handwriting was so good. ”
Xiao Xia Pozi was complimented and laughed: "It's copying your grandfather's words, but I've learned thirty percent." On weekdays, I just keep some accounts, and I know how to write about the dragon and the phoenix?!"
Xia Xiucai took it out of his sleeve and said with honor: "Take a look! , I saw him put the sticker on the table, so he said that the boudoir Mobao should not be passed on, and I touched it back, haha. Xia Xiucai spoke proudly, and put the sticker on the table for the children to see, not without the meaning of letting a few children remember, maybe when they can use the name of this cheap man to coax people.
The second brother leaned over to take a look, this worship post is different from others, a Luo character in the middle is written vigorously and powerfully, and every stroke is like a knife and axe cutting in half. This compass is inlaid with finely broken ears of grain, which encloses the character inside. On the right side of the ear of grain is a long sword out of its sheath, and at the bottom is a scabbard, but only half of it is drawn, and the other half is on the back of the prayer.
The fifth brother asked: "This is a private post used by my grandfather to visit friends, right? Could it be that Old Man Shi is an old friend of my grandfather?"
Xiao Xia Pozi looked at the fifth brother meaningfully, and said approvingly: "He is your grandfather's staff. I also watched the ups and downs of current affairs in the past few years, and wanted to take a look at the north. ”
The fifth brother hurriedly asked, "He came from the south, I don't know what is happening in the south?"
Xiao Xia sighed: "What else can I do, when King Yi fights in the past, he complains about the sky, and when he doesn't fight, he sings and dances, and he is drunk and drunk." The old man has the same opinion as me, I am afraid that the world will soon be peaceful. ”
The fifth brother nodded. The second brother has been busy all day, and his spirit is not good at this time. Mrs. Xiao Xia let them rest, left the fifth brother to speak, and explained what happened in the future: "In the future, the restaurant or teahouse will be bigger, and it would be best if the old man could go to the north, and help you go for a few years." If you don't come, if you have the opportunity to enter the capital or go to the south in the future, you must think about asking him to go out of the mountain to be a staff member. ”
"The Xu family's family style has always been upright, and you will definitely benefit a lot from your association with Xu Liangqi. I'm not worried about you, it's best if Xiaoyu can get along with her second sister-in-law, if not, you can take her out and live first. If everything goes well when I go back this time, I will let the fifth sister-in-law bring Ruchen Rutao and them over. It's just a matter of this year and a half, although Xiaoyu is more pampered, I think, this proportion is still there. ”
The fifth brother was busy cheering up and listening carefully.
"You take Old Man Shi as your teacher and Xu Liangqi as your friend, even if you can't plan for the future, you won't be able to make big mistakes in your life. I think in some time, I'm afraid that more southerners will come over one after another, so you should always be humble and introspective. It must be known that being an official is no better than the common people, in a word, a government decree can live or harm people. Be in awe. ”
The fifth brother stood up and bowed his head to be taught.
"The Sun family is our in-laws, so we naturally have to help. Sun Haoran is a stable person, does things properly, and has been tempered, and he could have had some future. It's a pity that his mother, alas, can't protect her family and children in times of crisis, can't make relatives and friends when she's comfortable, and can't be open-minded when she's reborn after a disaster. I am afraid that the future of this son is limited. “
The fifth brother was a little unimpressed at first, and couldn't help nodding secretly when he heard it.
After explaining like this, the fifth brother also fell asleep.
Xiao Xia's mother-in-law washed up with Xia Xiucai and rested by herself.
Xia Xiucai lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, thinking of the fifth brother's full ambition, his heart was proud and sour, and he couldn't help asking: "Qingqing, your big revenge is about to be avenged, aren't you very happy." “
Xiao Xia Pozi laughed out loud and said, "Xiucai, you don't know. My great revenge was avenged more than 20 years ago. In the past 20 years, I have lived happily every day, and every night when I go to bed, I think: I have lived so happily again today, and I have taken revenge again. Hmph, Wang Xiaodan, no matter how rich the person she married, she didn't even have the slightest comfort for me. “
Xia Xiucai listened to it, and only felt that these words were more ironing than any love words.
Xiao Xia sighed slightly: "It's also the time for our Xia family's luck to come, and someone will send a pillow if you say you are sleepy." ”
Xia Xiucai listened to her lonely tone and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
Mrs. Xiaoxia: "I just have some concerns in my heart, it's always me who drags you down, otherwise you would have jumped into the dragon gate." Now I'm just worried in vain, the fifth brother has big ambitions in his heart, and I can't stop him, and I can't stop him. It's just that his career is sinister, and I can only make some good connections for him. ”
Xia Xiucai shook my wife's hand: "I always thought that I was a genius, but when I saw your words today, I realized that I was just a frog at the bottom of the well after listening to Mr. Shi's words." ”
Xiao Xia raised her eyebrows, snorted and laughed: "Since you have no career, you naturally don't think about these things, let's just be a farmer." ”
Early the next morning, I packed my horses, luggage, and dry food. The Xu family's convoy also set off early this morning, and the two families made an appointment to meet at the city gate. Just a walk to the south of the city and a walk to the north of the city, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law separated from her daughter for the first time, and she was worried that she must watch her daughter's convoy go before she was willing to go on the road. Xiaoyu couldn't help but fall at the back of the team and turned back one step at a time. When Xiaoyu rode a horse and turned a corner, and everyone disappeared, Xiao Xia turned around and smiled at Xia Xiucai and said, "Xiucai, let's also compare equestrian skills, right?"
There was nothing to say this, but when I thought of Xia Xiucai's tears, I couldn't help but fall. This time, Mrs. Xiao Xia couldn't help it, and the couple stood at the door of the inn and hugged each other and cried. Shen Xingji and Wang Quan had to be comforted, and Shen Xingji slandered on the side: "This poor and sour talent, when did my girl become so careless, but you provoked her to cry." “
Xiaoyu left her parents for the first time and traveled far away, and she had to shed a few tears. The second brother couldn't help but feel distressed, so he said to the second sister-in-law: "It's like, why don't you call her to the car, well, it's better to enlighten her." “
The second sister-in-law thought for a while and said: "She doesn't like to ride in the car the most, she often says that the car is boring, if she sits in the car for a long time, I'm afraid that she will be more uncomfortable thinking about it." It's better to let her ride a horse outside for a while. “
The second brother thought about it and said the same, so he didn't say anything more.
Fang Zhun took Xiaoyu out of the city first and met Xu Liangqi and his wife. The couple took seven or eight family members, two or three carriages, and hired a team of darts to escort them.
