Chapter 12: Listen to the corner
Ask for a collection, hand over the collection! I'm here to rob you! Hand over the collection!
I don't know if it was stimulated by Xia Xuege's speculation, or what, Xia Ziqiu couldn't sleep all night, and the next morning, everyone in the Xia family got up very late, on the one hand, everyone didn't sleep well about Wulang's affairs, and on the other hand, Xia Ziqiu of the Liang family had their own concerns.
And even if it was late, Old Man Xia and the others did not forget the matter of inviting a witch doctor that had been discussed yesterday, and as soon as Xia Ziqiu finished breakfast, Old Man Xia came over to call someone.
"Third child, come with me to the old estuary today, there are fish there, let's go buy two and come back, Gorou's toss, make up for him."
Old Man Xia said, his eyes swept to Xia Xuege from time to time, and Xia Ziqiu nodded, as if he didn't know anything.
"Okay, Dad, wait a minute, I'll send Xue Ge to Keiko, if I leave her alone here, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law are angry with Xue Ge because of Goro's matter, it won't be good to spread it!"
Xia Ziqiu said that he was about to pick up Xia Xuege and go to Qingzi's house next door, but Old Man Xia hurriedly stopped him.
"Third child, aren't you a troublemaker? Keiko has been busy these two days! Throw it at home and let your mother look at it, Xue Ge, go, go to the upper room to find your grandma! ”
Old Man Xia said that he wanted to get Xia Xuege out of Xia Ziqiu's arms, but of course Xia Xuege refused.
"Dad, why don't I go to the patriarch's grandfather's house, two days ago, Brother Wen Chao also said that her sister Meixuan's embroidery is excellent, and Sister Meixuan also said, I am welcome to learn embroidery from her, Dad, I have learned embroidery, and I can help you subsidize the family!"
Xia Xuege smiled, and both of them secretly observed the face of the old man Xia, and sure enough, the old man Xia was a little unhappy.
"What are you going to do at the patriarch's house, Xue Ge, it's not that grandpa said you, even if your face is covered with such a veil, you can see that your face is so big and the color is different, your own family is annoying to look at, your sister Meixuan is also coaxing you, how can you take it seriously, good boy, your grandmother's embroidery is not bad, go, find your grandmother, your father and I have to go quickly, otherwise when we get to the old estuary, the good fish will be gone!" You've dug up a lot of wild vegetables in the past two days, and if you're obedient, I'll let your dad take a fish and stew it for you! ”
Old Man Xia took out a promise of a fish, if it was usual, to make such a promise to the old man Xia who was not pulling out a dime in the three rooms, Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xuege would definitely be moved enough, but today, Xia Ziqiu felt infinite sadness in his heart, and his face was somewhat unbearable! Xia Xuege saw that the beautiful father was about to collapse, so she hurriedly said:
"Dad, why don't you go first, anyway, Sister Meixuan said, I can go whenever I want, and the burns on my face are good to eat fish quickly, Dad, then go, didn't my uncle say that he came back today?"
Xia Xuege smiled and squeezed Xia Ziqiu's eyes, and Xia Ziqiu immediately understood.
"That's right, Dad forgot about this, your uncle said that he came today, and said that the point is to come to see you, and your grandfather may also come, so you stay at home, don't run around, Dad will come back to cook fish for you!"
Xia Ziqiu said and put Xia Xuege down, as if he was really fine, but Old Man Xia was really not calm, the Zhang family was coming? Then how can you still invite a witch doctor, especially if you look at Xia Xuege, that old man Zhang is Xia Xuege's granddaughter, and the two families will not make trouble when the time comes! Although the way:
"The third child, your father-in-law and they are coming today, then you wait, I will go to your mother and ask her to prepare a few dishes, so that you will not be there and you will not be well entertained!"
After Mr. Xia finished speaking, he went to find the Liang family, and he thought about it to tell the Liang family not to go to the witch doctor first, and the old man Zhang wanted to come, which was naturally fake, but Xia Xuege took advantage of the conflict between Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xia, and Mr. Xia had a good face.
Considered to have escaped for a while, Xia Ziqiu followed Old Man Xia to buy fish at the mouth of the old river, and before leaving, Xia Ziqiu also repeatedly told Xia Xuege to stay away from the upper room, if something happened, he shouted loudly, at the beginning of summer, the surrounding neighbors are all open windows and open doors, and they will definitely come to help.
Xia Ziqiu has long known what Old Man Xia is going to do, he has never believed in the witch doctor in the village, but they are just some pretending to be gods and deceiving money, and this person is not Xia Zichun's family to look for it, then it must be the Liang family to find it, for the Liang family, Xia Ziqiu is even more dike.
It doesn't matter if the Liang family is here, anyway, sooner or later you have to ask for a witch doctor, it doesn't matter if it's a day late, and she's not in a hurry, Xia Zichun is in a hurry, it's better for Mr. Zhang to come, the Zhang family is also a solid family, although it is not rich and expensive, but it is much better than the Xia family, Xia Xuege is the only granddaughter of Mr. Zhang, even when Xia Xuege was a fool in the past, Mr. Zhang also sent things to the Xia family, the contradiction between the two families is the death of Xia Xuege's mother Zhang Qin, on face, the two families are still passable, And what Old Man Zhang brought, Liang is confident that he can get half of it to subsidize his children.
Xia Xuege embroidered a handkerchief in the room, it seemed that it was because of Wulang's nightmare, the big room was surprisingly quiet today, even Xia Zichun went to the Liang family and said to invite the witch doctor, knowing that Old Man Zhang and his eldest son were coming, Xia Zichun and his wife did not move, and the time slowly came to almost noon, the Xia family really came, but it was not Old Man Zhang's family, but a luxuriously decorated carriage.
The four corners of the carriage are decorated with copper bells, which is the specification of everyone here in Liangzhou Mansion, and the car is embedded with a copper emblem, Xia Xuege looks at it from a distance, it seems to be a flower, and there are so many big families surnamed Hua in Liangzhou Mansion, but each of them is rich and expensive.
Looking at a person in charge who came in the courtyard through the window, Xia Xuege was curious, what kind of friendship should the Xia family have with such a person, and the Liang family seemed to know this person, and quickly led the person into the upper room.
"Could it be the person I saw that day, isn't it, that one seems to be a lot fatter than this!"
Xia Xuege muttered in her heart, she wanted to see what was going on with the Liang family, no matter what, if the Liang family had **, it would definitely not be a good thing, this would corrupt the door, he and Xia Ziqiu had not gone out separately, even if they were separated, if the young grandmother of the Liang family did the ** thing to spread out, then she and Xia Ziqiu would not have a good life, Xia Ziqiu was not yet thirty, Xia Xuege didn't want his beautiful father to be a widower early if he was so good!
Putting on small shoes under the kang, Xia Xuege walked out of the house in three steps and two steps, looking at the upper room, Xia Xuege suspected that there was something unsightly about the Liang family, this early summer was when it began to be stuffy, and the Liang family actually closed the window that was originally open!
Quietly the cat went to the window of the upper room underground, and Xia Xuege heard some sounds more or less.
"Mrs. Xia, what my lord means should be understood, this is to do this well, my lord will naturally not treat Xia Gongzi badly, this family has a difficult scripture, our Hua family will be tired this time, if our little son does this well, our Hua family will not only do what I promised you, but also our Hua family owes you a big favor, Mrs. Xia thinks it's good?"
"Hehe, the big housekeeper laughed, it's already a great honor for the little woman to be able to find it, don't worry, what your master said, I will do it well, to be honest, we have already begun to prepare, but this matter is afraid of spreading out, so we have to make some preparations!"
"You've already started to do it? That's good, it's just that our little boy can't drag on for long, you can do your best, this is ten taels of silver, which is what we mean, Mrs. Xia, and we still want to do it! ”
"Definitely, definitely! Alas? Butler, are you leaving? Stay for a light meal! ”
"No, Xia ......"
"Xia Xuege, what are you doing, you don't know how to work at noon, basking in the sun here! Really, the Dead Star! ”
Xia Xuege was listening well, and Meng's sharp and piercing voice pierced the sky and entered his ears, Xia Xuege greeted the eighteenth ancestor of the old Meng family in his heart, brushed over to the basket beside him, and said with a smile to Meng.
"Auntie, it's you, I'm about to take the basket and go out to find the wild fruits in the mountains!"
Xia Xuege said, picked up the basket next to him and stood up, it is estimated that the Liang family and the big housekeeper inside will not talk anymore, and they will go to the Tongfu Inn to deliver leeks in the afternoon, Liang and Dafang are afraid that there will be any movement in the past two days, it is better to send more leeks to avoid losing trust!
Xia Xuege walked away with the basket, and as soon as he walked out of the gate, Xia Xuege heard Meng's flattering voice and the voice of the big housekeeper and Liang's from inside, thinking that someone came out, but unfortunately, he was disturbed by Meng's troubles, and he didn't hear what Liang wanted to do! was also worried about being caught by the big housekeeper, Xia Xuege ran directly to the forest in the back mountain, in ancient times, these powerful and rich people couldn't afford to mess with it!
Seeing the big housekeeper leave, Xia Xuege went to cut leeks with confidence, because Xia Ziqiu didn't come back, and Xia Xuege didn't dare to enter the house left by the seventh uncle, Xia Ziqiu didn't believe in evil, but Xia Xuege believes it now, if she doesn't believe in evil, how can she explain it? Is it a resurrection of a corpse?
So because he didn't dare to go in, Xia Xuege didn't count the money with the Tongfu Inn today, Xia Ziqiu came back and counted it, and Xia Xuege was also hungry, in order to hide from the Liang family and the big housekeeper, Xia Xuege didn't eat at noon, Xia Xuege has a few copper plates in the singer, and they have been put in close clothes, Xia Xuege has always been like this, people, there are always some urgent matters, isn't it like this today?
I went to the noodle stall on the side of the road and asked for a bowl of clear soup noodles, Xia Xuege ate it with relish, and as soon as I finished eating, I heard Oh Ang becoming chatting on the table, I didn't know if I didn't listen, I was startled when I heard it, it was actually their house!
"The old Xia family is estimated to be developed again this time, have you heard, then Xia Zidong may be admitted to Xiucai this year, fifteen-year-old Xiucai!"
