Chapter 12: Brawl

This Liu family was originally a narrow-minded woman who didn't have much to do, and when she touched a soft nail in front of her daughter-in-law, she immediately messed up.

When he was at a loss, he suddenly heard Changchun's words, felt reasonable, and immediately got up, and didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he hurried to the backyard.

Xia Chunchao left the upper room, walked back to the room, and sat in the bright room. Zhu'er handed over a bowl of tea and said: "When grandma went out, sister-in-law Liu talked back and forth, and most of the items that grandma ordered to go to the tomb during Qingming a few days ago were bought. Another housekeeper brought in a running account book, and she saw her waiting on the porch, waiting for her grandmother to show her. There is also the Shen family who sent a post to the house, and the little guy on the door followed and brought it in, does grandma look at it? As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xia Chunchao's displeasure on his face, his eyebrows tightened, and Bao'er looked at herself again and shook her head.

This pearl guessed that it must be for what Sister Lu Hong said last night, and seeing her sad face, she only said that Zhang Xueyan's entry into the door was a foregone conclusion, and there was nothing to change, so she persuaded: "Grandma also relax, although Miss Biao is the niece of his wife, but in the end, grandma has always been in charge of this family." Needless to say, the family only listens to grandma's orders. It's the old lady and the old man, watching her grandmother work hard at home all these years, and she refuses to be bad. The young master treats his grandmother very well, not to mention it, but in the future of the young master, I don't know how much he used his grandmother, is he embarrassed to like the new and hate the old? Miss Cousin just came in, and grandma is the main house, and she has to listen to grandma's control, and she can't get anywhere. Grandma's peace of mind is. ”

Xia Chunchao smiled slightly and said to her: "Mrs. 's abacus is not satisfactory, I'm afraid this matter will not be successful." Zhu'er realized that she was wrong, and she was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "In that case, what is grandma worried about?" As he spoke, he complained to Bao'er and said, "You don't mention me, so that I have told me so much nonsense, which is embarrassing." Bao'er pouted and said: "Who told you to be fast-talking, before others said a word, you poured a big basket first, where do I dare to stop you?" ”

Xia Chunchao listened to the two girls arguing, and his heart was depressed a little, and he opened his mouth and smiled: "I know that you two are all for my good, so just say a few words." As he spoke, he asked again, "What post from the Shen family?" There's a post, why don't you send it to the master's study, but send it to me? Zhu'er replied: "It is the Shen family who opened Hexiangzhuang, because it was posted to send it to grandma, and the little girl sent it in." Xia Chunchao remembered what Shen Changyu said a few days ago about business, she was upset, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, but thinking about her family plan, she said: "Bring the post to me." Zhu'er hurriedly took out the sticker from the book and presented it to her.

Xia Chunchao took it, and when he saw that the envelope really said "Mrs. Lu personally opened", he felt a little unhappy in his heart. Unfolded it to take a look, but saw that there was only one line of words written inside: "Please go to the Fulai Pavilion in the west of the city on the first day of the first month of next month." "The payment is Shen Xugu. The word "Void Valley" is the word of Shen Changyu, which means "Void Valley".

Xia Chunchao read the post, became angry, threw the post on the table, and ordered: "Take this thing and burn it, and tell it to go down, no one is allowed to talk nonsense." But when someone asked, they said that the merchants in the shop voted for the wrong post! The two girls looked at each other, Xia Chunchao has always been kind, and rarely argues with people with red faces, even if the Liu family wants to take a concubine for Lu Chengyong, although she is extremely angry, she has never seen a heavy word. Seeing her so angry at this moment, I don't know what disrespectful words were written on that post.

At that moment, Bao'er picked up the post, didn't dare to ask, turned around and went to the inner room, tore the post into several pieces, threw it into the clay incense burner, watched it burn to ashes, and then came out again.

Xia Chunchao sat on the edge of the kang and muttered to himself: "I am already a woman, where can I go to see him." It's ridiculous to write something like this! Zhu'er listened to her and tried to ask, "Grandma, do you mean that the son of the Shen family invited grandma to meet?" Xia Chunchao didn't answer, his face was gloomy. Bao'er came over and said, "You didn't go with you that day, didn't you see it, Young Master Shen's eyes, the words in his mouth, it's not rude!" And don't say that grandma is married now, even when she is still at home, she can't do this. Zhu'er was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "There is such a thing?!" This Young Master Shen is really bold, he dares to do such a thing! Fortunately, no one knows about this, otherwise the villain heard the tongue-twisting, how will grandma be a person in the future?! This kind of thing is the most difficult thing to explain. This guy is really hateful, we are still friends with his grandfather, and he ruined our grandmother's reputation like this! ”

Xia Chunchao was in a state of confusion and reprimanded: "Don't mention this matter in the future." Bao'er and Zhu'er both responded. Xia Chunchao thought for a while, and then said: "Tell the little guy on the door, if there is someone from the Shen family in the future." If you send a post, hand it over to the master's study and ask the master to show it. If it is business, let them go to the shop to find Shopkeeper Xia to discuss, and say that the reason for the purchase and sale of the Lu family's shop, Shopkeeper Xia can call the shots. Bao'er agreed, and went out.

Xia Chunchao sat down again, and his mind gradually calmed down, so he asked Zhu'er to take the list sent by Liu's sister-in-law and the account book recently, and took the abacus to settle the accounts.

She counted the accounts a few times, and when she saw that there were no mistakes or omissions, she closed the account book and asked Zhu'er to take it. was eating tea and sitting idly, and suddenly saw the little girl in the upper room Honeysuckle come in. Xia Chunchao felt very strange, so he asked Honeysuckle to come forward and ask, "Why are you here now?" But does the wife have something to say? Honeysuckle shook his head and said, "It's not that Mrs. has something to say, it's Sister Changchun who called me to tell Grandma SΓΉ that Mrs. went to the old lady's room." When Xia Chunchao heard this, he immediately smiled at his own intentions, and only said that he knew, so he grabbed a handful of dried apricots from the fruit bowl and sent her away.

When Honeysuckle went out, Xia Chunchao smiled and said: "This Changchun girl is smart and obedient, it can be seen that I haven't been blind in the past." Zhu'er returned the account book to the housekeeper, and came back to say, "She is not in vain that her grandmother treats her like she usually does." Thinking that her mother died the year before last, she came to beg to burn the silver. The wife bit to death and had no money. Originally, she was a girl who was sold to our family, and it was none of our family's business to deal with her mother. But the world is like this, they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, how can they ignore it? The wife's strangulation only makes people's hearts chill. It was her grandmother who gave her thirty taels of silver in private, so that the funeral was done. And she got her brother to the shop and got a fellow's errand, otherwise what would it be? ”

Xia Chunchao smiled faintly and said, "Mrs.'s temper is something that has to be pinched in the palm of her hand. As he spoke, he bowed his head and ate tea, and that's it.

But it was said that Liu Shi listened to Changchun's words, and immediately set off and rushed to the backyard. When Changchun saw his wife going out, he explained a few words to Honeysuckle before he followed.

Liu hurriedly came to the backyard, and when he entered the door, he saw Baohe playing with the family and children in the courtyard and kicking the shuttlecock. Baohe didn't kick a hook well, and the colorful chicken feather shuttlecock flew into Liu's arms.

Liu Shi was unguarded, and suddenly saw a colorful thing flying into his arms, and he was startled. looked at it, but it was a chicken feather shuttlecock, and he hurriedly threw it on the ground, opened his mouth and scolded: "What pickled things, throw your mother's thing!" ”

Seeing that his wife had lost her temper, she had already run away.

Baohe hurriedly came up to apologize and smiled: "I haven't seen my wife for a while, so please forgive my wife." As soon as he finished speaking, the Liu family raised his hand and slapped his face, beating Baohe's nose and swollen face, and bowed his head and said nothing.

I only heard Liu's scolding: "Little prostitute, you are the hairy girl that my family bought with a few taels of silver, and you dare to bully me!" You don't look in the mirror, what kind of thing is your own house! It's only been a few days since I've been in here, and that's it! I called you here, so that you can support here. I don't call you here, you'll have to get out of this door tomorrow! She was full of resentment when she was hit by Xia Chunchao before, but now she was hit by the little girl again, and she had a seizure. That Baohe is only a half-year-old child of twelve or thirteen years old, where can he stand such heavy words, and he was scolded by Liu's scolding Huai, and the scolding powder was red, ashamed and speechless, hiding his face and sobbing.

Changchun couldn't stand it, so he persuaded: "Mrs. is still angry, Baohe is young and ignorant, and Mrs. scolds her, and she is angry for a while. Moreover, when the old lady was in the house, she was afraid that she would be upset when she heard such a noise. When the Liu clan heard this, he became more and more angry, and shouted: "I can't say it, can't I even manage such a hairy girl?!" At the same time, he twisted Baohe's ears again, and scolded: "No one is useful today, I won't beat you little slut, I will be raised by you!" ”

At this moment, Baolian lifted the curtain and came out, seeing that she could not see this scene, and said, "It turns out that the wife is here, and the old lady invites the wife in." This Liu family just let go of the treasure lotus, put his hand on her forehead, and said, "When I am free, I will settle accounts with you little slut!" "So he left here and went straight to the door.

Stepping into the door, the Liu family saw that Lu Jia's family was not in the bright room. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly heard the sound of wooden fish tapping on the wall, and the sound of muttering scriptures, and he knew that Lu Jia's morning class was not over. Where was Liu Shi waiting patiently, so he said to Changchun: "Since the old lady has not finished chanting, I have eaten meat for breakfast, but I am afraid that I will go in and bump into the Bodhisattva, so I will go first." When the old lady finishes reciting the scriptures, you can call me again. Na Changchun smiled and said, "Mrs. should wait, the old lady personally instructed her to wait here for her to finish her morning class, and she has something to say to her wife." After finishing speaking, he turned around and poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Liu, and said: "This is the Wuyi Mountain rock tea that was brewed early in the morning, is it okay to taste it, wife?" It's still my grandmother's filial piety. ”

This Liu had no choice but to take it, but he couldn't stop muttering: "There are no dead people in the family, so I don't know who I'm cursing for such endless chanting!" ”。
