Chapter 140
Now it is only said that Xiangling has changed from a cheap concubine to a good concubine through the help of Jia's mother, and she has found Shengsheng's mother, which caused the mother and daughter to finally reunite, but there is a matter of heart. Naturally, there is nothing to be desired.
On the other hand, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai thought about it, because they thought that this matter was facilitated by Jia's mother, and Jia's mother was the most poor and weak character, in order to make Jia's mother happy, it was also to show the benevolence of this family, and after discussing with Xue Pan, the mother and daughter of the Xue family took out some money to settle the Feng family - this is also the meaning that they don't want the Feng family to live in Jiafu for a long time and be disliked, and they don't want the Feng family to live in Jinghuayuan and be criticized.
The Xue family used to be a family of imperial merchants, and the family was million-rich. Later, Xue's father died, and the Xue family was left with only widows and children, all of whom were not financially sophisticated, so they were employed by the family and the shopkeepers expired, and there was a lot of loss in the family's business. After the mother and daughter of the Xue family entered Beijing, because of Xue Pan's killing of people, they were even more ruined and eliminated, and in the end, even the envoys of the household department were taken away. After a few tosses, it is long gone. However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Xue family is overstretched, and it is not the kind of young and yellow family, and it is not difficult to settle the Feng family at this time.
The Xue nerd learned earlier that Xiangling had found his mother's family and might be picked up, so he was very reluctant to make a fuss with his mother and sister, and while he was depressed, he secretly scolded the You family for being nosy. After scolding, he regretted that he shouldn't be angry with his mother and sister. When I woke up the next day, I had to explain and persuade in every way. He used to be a rough man, and he didn't know how to say anything flattering, but he only knew how to sprinkle a lot of silver to buy things to make his mother and sister happy. For a while, I have to cut new clothes for my mother and sister, and for a while, I have to blow up a gold collar for Baochai. Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai couldn't bear it, so they had to say, "You can stop the meeting." It's not a shame to have this sub-compensation, why did you say such choking words yesterday? ”
Xue Pan smiled innocently, rubbed his hands and said, "Wasn't it angry yesterday, that's why I didn't hold back." Mom and sister know my temper, so you should bear with me. ”
The mother and daughter of the Xue family were helpless when they saw Xue Pan looking like this. After a long period of silence, he had to say: "If you are serious and remorseful, I will say one thing, and you can just follow it." ”
When Xue Pan heard this, he thought that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were going to bring up the old matter of sending Xiangling away again, and said reluctantly: "You just say it." ”
In his heart, he secretly thought that even if Xiangling was sent away this time, he would still find a way to snatch people back.
But I didn't know that Aunt Xue opened her mouth, but what she said was about arranging a house for the Feng family's widows.
Xue Pan was stunned when he heard this, and then came back to his senses, and learned that the beauty was not leaving, and his own family was just spending a few taels of silver to help settle his mother-in-law. It is used to house the widows of the Feng family and a few maids, but it is the most appropriate.
That Xue Pan not only bought the house, but also purchased all kinds of furniture ornaments, but after more than a month, he prepared a proper affair, and also took the Feng family from Rongguo Mansion to Xiaohuazhi Lane, and saw it with his own eyes.
The Feng family didn't expect that after his daughter was abducted, his house was burned, his husband went crazy, and his family disliked him and lost his place in his twilight years, he could still find his daughter to enjoy his old age after being displaced for so many years. Deng Shi was speechless with excitement. After returning to Lixiang Courtyard, he thanked everyone in the Xue family with tears in his eyes, and chanted the Buddha again and again.
Later, he was led by the mother and daughter of the Xue family to greet the old lady. Feng Shi did not forget to thank the old lady. When the daughters of Jiafu heard about the Feng family, they knew that the Feng family had the joy of housewarming, so they had to prepare congratulatory gifts. Sister Feng peeked into Jia's mother's thoughts, and said with a smile: "It is not only the reunion of mother and daughter, but also the joy of housewarming, and the son-in-law is so filial, this incident is worth celebrating." ”
Before Sister Feng'er finished speaking, Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Such a happy event is naturally to celebrate." We also want to take advantage of the housewarming day to have a lively time of drinking and singing. I just don't know if the old lady, the grandmother and the girls are willing to appreciate their faces. ”
When Sister Feng heard this, she didn't wait for others to speak, and said to herself: "I don't care about others, I will definitely go." Even the congratulatory gifts have been delivered, if I don't go to eat to return to the table, won't I lose money? ”
Before he finished his sentence, everyone laughed. Mother Jia pointed at Sister Feng and smiled: "Look at her mouth, no one can really say that she can't." ”
Seeing this, Sister Feng walked to Jia's mother and sat down, hugged Jia's mother's arm and said "quietly": "Old lady, don't talk about me, your etiquette is the thickest, you should go too." If not, it will be cheaper for them......"
Mother Jia didn't wait for Sister Feng to finish speaking, and laughed for a while. hugged Sister Feng and said, "You are a narrow ghost, and your aunt is also so calculating." I'm not afraid that your aunt will laugh at the wives and grandmothers in our house for being stingy. ”
Aunt Xue immediately smiled and said, "How could it be." If the old lady can come, it will give us face, and it will be more pleasing than giving any gift. ”
When Jia Mu heard this, she said, "Since this is the case, I will reward my face." How early and late the housewarming banquet is, and tell us a word. ”
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "The fifth day of the next month is an auspicious day, it is advisable to break the ground and move out. ”
When everyone heard this, they naturally laughed.
Because the Feng family went to Beijing to find a daughter or entrusted the care of the third sister You, this time the Xue family moved to the housewarming, so naturally they had to give the You family an invitation.
At that time, the third sister You was busy settling the accounts for the New Year, but the Chen family was gossiping with the old lady in the upper room, and discussed the marriage of the fourth girl by the way. Hearing that the Xue family sent someone to ask for a post, the Chen family thought that it was related to Xiangling's matter. After meeting the mother-in-law of the Xue family who sent the letter, I learned that the purpose of this invitation was to settle the house for Xiangling's mother, and I couldn't help but celebrate the housewarming. Mrs. You also asked a few gossips on the side, and when she learned that Xiangling's mother and daughter encountered ups and downs, she had to sigh again. Just waiting to send away the Xue family, he laughed with the Chen family: "Sure enough, it is a vulgar businessman, and he doesn't know the rules." It's just that he has arranged a house for the mother of his concubine, and it deserves such fanfare. I heard that when their family first took concubines, they also sang wine and sang to announce to the world. I don't know that there are still sons in the world who have not married a wife, and they are in a hurry to take a concubine first? In my opinion, the concubine also has a means. Otherwise, where could the family be coaxed to treat her like this? I really don't know whose daughter's daughter will be married to their family in the future, and some of them will be angry with such a spoiled concubine and killing their wife. ”
When Chen heard this, he had to smile and say to Mrs. You: "I have also met the girl named Xiangling a few times, and it is not bad." It's a pity to be paired with that Xue Da fool. ”
Old Lady You snorted coldly when she heard this, and said, "Whether this person is good or not, it all depends on his fate." If the fate is not good, people will boast about the flowers and do not count. I'm not theoretical, and I won't go to the table tomorrow. I can't afford to lose this man. ”
After that, he said to Chen, "You are not allowed to go." Don't call the third sister to go. is good and dignified, and it has ruined our family's clean reputation. ”
Whose serious female relatives want to deal with other concubines? Especially that the Xue family is still a businessman's family, and when he said it, he lowered the lintel in vain.
Seeing this, Chen couldn't confront Old Lady You, so he had to smile and say, "I naturally know what the old lady means." It's just that this matter was done by the three girls in the end, and their mother and daughter will be reunited, and the three girls should go to have a glass of thanksgiving wine. If the old lady doesn't like it, I just don't ask the three girls to go. But since the post was sent, we don't have to ignore it - it also involves Rongguo Mansion, and in the end it is also the eldest girl's concubine. In my opinion, when that day comes, our You family will still send congratulatory gifts, and we will ask the third sister to take care of her illness and pay it back. ”
When Mrs. You heard Chen's mention of Rongguo Mansion, she couldn't help asking: "Listen to what you mean, the old ladies and ladies of Rongguo Mansion also went there that day?" ”
Chen said, "That's nature. Not only the old ladies and ladies, but also the grandmothers and girls and the big girls and mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have to go. I heard that Miss Lin and Miss Shi will also go, just to have a good time. ”
Mrs. You's heart moved, because the eldest girl married into Ning Guofu, her son-in-law also helped You Ziyu's future. Mrs. You cares a lot about this family affair in her heart. is even more reluctant to offend the people of the Jia family. At this moment, hearing that Mrs. Shi and the two ladies of King Xing and the girls in the house were also gone, Mrs. You couldn't help but loosen her mind. said with a smile in his mouth: "Even if this is the case, it's just that my family is looking for an opportunity to be lively." If we don't go seriously, it will seem rusty. ”
Chen just smiled and didn't answer.
After thinking about it, Mrs. You finally decided to go.
Seeing this, Chen was even more embarrassed.
