Chapter 270: A Shocking Discovery
She had indeed heard this person's voice just now, but for a while, she couldn't remember it. However, Xiaomi didn't care too much, picked two strings of sugar gourds, and after touching two big coins and giving them to others, he turned back and got into the carriage that followed behind.
Heck, what dynasty did this sugar gourd have? It's really boring, Xiaomi looked at the sugar gourd in his hand and studied it.
After returning to Zhongfu, he went straight to the courtyard of the Huang family. Looking at the sugar gourd in his hand, Huang couldn't help but have a sour nose, this was bought by his daughter for herself, and her daughter had her mother in her heart.
After Zhong Jiantang went home, when he saw his wife, he was stunned. "What's wrong with Madame, it's just a sugar gourd, you can see it so fascinated?"
"Master, you don't know, this is what Xiaomi bought for me." Huang told her husband very satisfied.
Looking at his wife's contented expression at this time, Zhong Jiantang's heart was sour. What is this called, the wife paid so much to her daughter, and got a sugar gourd that can be bought with a copper coin, so she was satisfied like this.
"Well, she still has a bit of a conscience." Zhong Jiantang didn't know what to say, so he said this casually.
"Master, how can you say that about your daughter. She didn't grow up around us when she was a child, I don't know how many grievances she suffered outside, she hasn't been by our side for so many years, how can you let her fully accept us for a while?
Take your time and don't rush too much. Huang helped his daughter speak, and then took a small bite gently, even the hawthorn wrapped in syrup is sour, but now don't talk about sour things, it is coptis chinensis, Huang will feel very sweet when he eats it.
Zhong Jiantang understood in his heart. Now no one can say anything bad about millet in front of his wife. When he turned around, he saw that there was still a string in the vase on the table, and he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Master, let's have dinner together tonight. If you are always like this, it is inevitable that the child will have no idea in his heart. Huang remembered to discuss it with her husband.
I haven't sat down and eaten together since the last time. Huang could feel it. Don't eat together. The daughter seemed to be indifferent and seemed more comfortable. But what about the family? It can't always be like this.
She wanted to say this for a long time, but then there were a series of accidents in the house, so she didn't have a chance to say it.
"Madame, you are not unaware. That kid doesn't like to see me at all, if we eat together. I'm afraid that she will not be comfortable, so let's talk about it after a while. Zhong Jiantang thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate.
Huang knew that her husband was right and sighed. He also inserted the sugar gourd in his hand into the vase and helped her husband change into his court clothes. It's useless to be in a hurry about some things, you have to take your time.
"What did she do out there tonight? DID YOU KNOW? Zhong Jiantang hesitated, but decided to talk to his wife.
"Go shopping. Her temperament is not interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can she stay in the house all day. Huang said disapprerovingly.
She went shopping to buy candy for a group of poor children, and went to Yuxianglou with the three masters of Yihai Commercial Bank. Even Xiao Qi is not as exaggerated as she is outside.
There are some things that I am inconvenient to say as a father. You, as a mother, should you talk about her. In terms of spending, you shouldn't be too pampered with her. In the past, in order to get closer to her, I also booked a single room in the teahouse, I think this child is spoiled.
The little girl's family is so profligate, it's really unseemly. When Zhong Jiantang said this, he faintly felt a headache.
"Okay, I've got it in my mind. The people of Yihai Commercial Bank, as Xiaomi told me, they have taken care of Xiaomi for a period of time before. Millet is a grateful person, isn't it normal to invite people to eat a good table?
Besides, her current identity is also different, isn't it possible to thank people for receiving an ordinary small restaurant? In that case, it's not your face that will be lost. Huang should be refreshing, but he still opened his mouth to help Xiaomi.
Zhong Jiantang completely understood that if he expected his wife to discipline that daughter, it would not work at all. However, in this house, the wife can talk in front of that girl, is it possible to make it possible to let that girl mess around like this?
He was unwilling, but there was no way at all. If you accidentally provoke that girl, not to mention that the wife will make trouble with herself, that girl may not know what to do.
That time in the main hall, the scene in front of the emperor, Zhong Jiantang still remembers it vividly, as if it happened yesterday. Fortunately, that time has passed, and the marriage contract with King Qin has been dissolved.
It seems that the big trouble has been solved, but Zhong Jiantang still can't settle down in his heart. I always feel that there will be greater troubles that will appear one day in the future.
At dinner, Xiaomi saw that Huang was a little absent-minded. "Mother, you don't have to eat with me every day. I'm really fine, you can just accompany me every few days. ”
With the Huang family, he was quite comfortable, but Xiaomi knew that the Huang family was uncomfortable, and he always wanted to get closer to Zhong Jiantang, but he was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he didn't speak.
This Xiaomi really doesn't want to, so it's been pretending to be confused.
There are too many Zhong family members, and when eating, even if Zhong Jiantang's concubines can't serve at the table, it is a table full of people, and it is really uncomfortable to eat with them. It's not that he can't pretend to be Sven himself, but if you have to pretend like that three times a day, you're tired!
If you don't pretend, you can't do it, everyone at the table is eating at that Svenwen, just she has a big mouth, and she feels like a wolf in the flock! It's so awkward!
"Don't affect the relationship between you and your husband and wife for me." Xiaomi added again.
"Don't think about it, I have nothing to do with your father's old husband and wife." Huang knew that his daughter was joking with him, so he responded with a smile.
"I'm not kidding, it's true. I know you really love me, but I can't stay by your side for the rest of my life, to put it mildly, sooner or later, I will get married. The only person who has lived with you for the rest of your life is that person.
Now that you're patronizing me and ignoring him, isn't that pushing him into the arms of other women? Don't talk nonsense to me. If you don't find out by then, I'm afraid it's too late, and you won't have a place to cry. Xiaomi said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
In fact, Xiaomi's intention in saying this is also to pave the way for its future. I am incompatible with the people of this Zhong Mansion, not to mention that the reason why I compromised in the first place was completely because of the people of the Luo family.
So, she really can't guarantee how long she can stay here. One day I really had to leave. The saddest thing is this Huang.
"If I care about that. I'm afraid I've already had gray hair, and besides, let's be women. can only accept fate. Silly girl, my mother knows that you have your own bottom line on the matter of choosing a mate, although no one who listens will agree, but. Support you for your mother.
I hope that my good daughter will find a good husband who only has you in her heart in the future. Huang was very helpless. But I didn't forget to cheer up Xiaomi. I didn't persuade my daughter like before, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines or something.
That's probably what all women in the world are looking forward to, but. No one dared to say it, and no one dared to really fight for it.
"Uh-huh, that's a must. Just wait and see, I can't find anything that satisfies me. It's a big deal to be a female bachelor for a lifetime. Millet said with a grin.
Huang also laughed, gave his daughter a chopstick dish, and motioned for the person waiting next to him to go out.
As soon as Xiaomi saw her like this, she knew that it was inconvenient for others to be present.
Unexpectedly, after the waiter went out, Huang reached out and took out something from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.
"What is this?" Xiao Mina took it in his hand and opened it to see that there were actually two silver tickets, one was a thousand taels denomination, and the other was five hundred taels, and asked curiously.
"This is for my mother's selfishness, you put it by your side." Huang whispered.
Zhong Jiantang told her that he asked her to take care of Xiaomi, and reminded her that he was afraid that Xiaomi's money would not be enough, so he quietly put it on his body before coming to accompany Xiaomi's dinner.
"No, I have enough money." Xiaomi is greedy for money, but for the Huang family, she can't take it. She also knows that although Zhongfu is the family of the Prime Minister's House, she has a family background. But what about such a big family, there are almost 100 people up and down, and the expenses are also very large.
"What you have is yours, there is no harm in putting more silver around you, and you can keep it if you don't need it." Huang insisted.
I owe my daughter a lot, she likes to spend money, so let her spend it, Huang thinks it's so simple.
Looking at it like this, it won't work if you don't accept it, so Xiaomi has no choice but to accept it. Sure enough, seeing that she had collected the silver ticket, Huang immediately seemed very happy.
"When you get married in the future, your mother will prepare a good dowry for you, even if you come to your husband's house in the future, you will not be strapped for money." Huang made a promise to Xiaomi. It is a very happy thing for a mother to make such a commitment.
"If you get married, then his silver will be equal to my silver, and of course you have to use his." Xiaomi said seriously.
Huang was amused by his daughter all of a sudden, what kind of logic is this, but what she said seems to make sense. It's just that the daughter doesn't seem to know that the rules in a big family, where can she think that she is so simple, and the money of her husband's family is not so easy to use as she wants.
However, after listening to Xiaomi's words, Huang began to be a little worried. With such alternative ideas like Xiaomi's mind and stomach, what kind of family will she marry in the future? Can someone make her a master like this?
"Mother, don't worry about me. My daughter, I am a man who can bend and stretch, and I can spend money if I have it, and I can save it without money. "Millet is proud. It's not that she doesn't know modesty, she thinks she really has the ability.
"Our Zhong family is just a girl from you, and no one will deduct you." Huang made up his mind to let his daughter live a good life.
"Mother, you're like this, aren't you afraid of spoiling me?" Xiaomi felt very sorry for the physical body in her heart, how good it would be if she didn't die, there was a mother who loved her like this.
"You are my daughter, who do you spoil if you don't spoil you." Huang looked at his daughter and said with great pity.
"Spoil those brothers, and also, several brothers are married, and you can also spoil a few sisters-in-law." Millet joked with Huang.
Huang smiled, but didn't say anything. The sons are all older, and they all have their own things to do, but the daughter-in-law is not her own, so she can't be intimate. Only the one in front of me is the meat that fell from her body, who doesn't spoil her.
After dinner, the two of them walked around the house, Huang checked the charcoal stove in the house, and tirelessly told the servant girl to be careful at night, don't let the charcoal fire go out, let the millet freeze.
Sending Huang away, millet lay on the bed after washing, and the quilt had long been warmed by the maidservant with a soup woman, and it was very comfortable to lie in. The charcoal fire in the charcoal brazier is the best fruit charcoal, and there is no smoke at all.
Xiaomi checked before going to bed, and left a gap in the rear window to save carbon monoxide poisoning.
I feel like it's a good day like this. It's just that Xiaomi also knows in his heart that it is impossible to live such a day all the time. This body will be fourteen years old after the New Year, and girls in ancient times married relatively early.
Regarding the matter of marriage, it is still a big trouble.
Just as she was thinking about it, the maidservant girl went into the house to check the charcoal fire.
"Girl, have you heard, that there are Jiangyang thieves in Maicheng outside the capital. Make good use of the incense, and the semicolon of Yihai Commercial Bank was stolen. Why do you say that this thief is so bold that he dares to commit a crime at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
The eldest prince came back from the yamen and told his subordinates to pay attention.
However, the good thing is that they only steal property, and if they are flower thieves, it will be scary. But don't be afraid, girl, no one dares to come into our house. "The maid wants to be intimate with Xiaomi, so she quickly chatted with Xiaomi as soon as she knew some news.
"Well, I've heard people talk about it on the street during the day. What is there to be afraid of, it's just a fragrance...... "Xiaomi just wanted to say that this girl is not afraid, what kind of incense thief has already seen it." Suddenly, I remembered what happened to me in an inn in a town with the grandson of the Cao family.
What was the name of that town, Xiaomi didn't remember for a long time. However, what happened that night at the inn was very impressive. Because, she also talked to each other about the black words on the rivers and lakes.
I didn't see the thieves, but I heard their voices. Wait, sound? The voice I heard on the street today when I was buying sugar gourds seemed to be the same person as the one that night.
Thinking of this, Xiaomi sat up violently, startling the maid who was waiting for her to talk.
It can't be such a coincidence, right? Is there really such a coincidence in the world? Xiaomi couldn't believe it, and once again tried to recall the voice that night.
When the maidservant saw her suddenly like this, she didn't dare to ask what was going on, so she hurriedly walked out in fright.
Xiaomi remembered that the two thieves in the inn that night, one of them seemed to be calling the other 'shrimp', and he thought it was funny at the time, and guessed that the other could be called a crab? Will they be the people who stole the purple pearl of Yihai Commercial Bank?
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? They are also thieves, and they also use incense when committing crimes, Mai Cheng has a case, and they just happened to appear in the capital? Could it be that they are playing in the capital? …… (To be continued)
