Chapter XXXVII
The old lady pressed her temples with her hand, and Xu wanted to get up and rub her, but the old lady waved her hand to signal that she didn't need to.
"Sister Fang was raised by my side when she was young, and it is inevitable that she will be spoiled on my birthday. Now I think it was my fault. Her temperament is really worrying about what to do if she gets married in the future, so you have to worry about the girl she will marry in the future, especially the first-class maid must find someone who is serious and stable, and she has to know more about Sister Fang's temperament for the years of service. ”
"Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down."
"Also, if this matter is according to Liu Yongjia's statement, then this girl named Wisteria has been wronged, but after all, she has also made the second lady lose face, so don't let her go to your garden these days."
"Yes, it's just that Brother Yue'er has been studying hard these days, and I look forward to going to wisteria every day, I'm afraid that the child won't be able to adapt to it for a while......"
"Then let Qin Niang take it to Sister Fang'er."
After the two of them finished together, the Xu family waited for the old lady to take the medicine before returning to Canglang Garden. At this time, pine oil torches were also lit in the courtyard. Xu Shi entered the main room, Xu Mama told him that his two children were asleep, she went over to look at the two children who were sleeping sweetly, turned around and went back to the inner room.
Xie Zhong had already finished washing, leaning against the concubine of the Duobao Pavilion, holding a book in his hand, when he saw Xu Shi coming in, he put the book down and stood up,
"Grandmother rested?"
"Well, the concubine served her grandmother and took medicine before she came back."
"Thank you for your hard work, you have to help deal with Sister Fang's affairs so late."
Xie Zhong's words warmed Xu's heart, with such a considerate husband, think about the two lovely sons sleeping next door, even if you work harder.
Xu wrapped his hands around Xie Zhong's waist emotionally, "The concubine is not hard at all, it is the responsibility of the concubine to preside over the middle feed, honor the elders, and care for the younger siblings." As long as I have you and the children by my side, the concubine will be willing to be tired no matter how tired."
Xie Zhong picked up Xu's face, and after kissing her lightly on the forehead, he took her hand and walked back to the concubine and sat down.
"Can I tell my grandmother?"
"Well, according to what you mean, let Wisteria come over and teach Brother Yue to speak. It's just that the grandmother said that after all, she made a mistake, and the punishment was still certain, so she didn't let her come over from tomorrow, but asked Qin Niang to take her to Sister Fang. ”
In the afternoon, she sent away all the ladies of the Huai'en Houfu and returned to Canglang Garden, and naturally someone told her what happened in the pavilion. Xu's first feeling was that Wisteria was so ugly, what should Brother Yue do? According to her thoughts, such a girl with a loss of virtue can no longer guide her son.
Xie Zhong was afraid that his father-in-law would get angry and hurt himself because of Gu's inappropriate words, so he deliberately stayed at home and did not go out. Seeing that Xu Shi came back, he came over to ask about the situation at the table, and Xu Shi told Xie Zhong about this matter, and also told his own thoughts.
Xie Zhong did not approve of Xu doing this, and a discerning person knew that this must not be what Wisteria wanted to do, either because of his body, or someone made it bad. So he asked Xu to inquire and understand before making a decision. Besides, the youngest son has grown a lot in the past few days with Wisteria, and he has taken the initiative to say more and more, and he doesn't want to give up halfway.
Xu naturally listened to her husband, and after being invited by the old man at night, she listened to Liu's mother's analysis, which made her feel that there must be a reason, otherwise Liu's mother's character would not have been handled like this. That's why he proposed to continue to let Wisteria teach Brother Yue'er.
"Grandmother asked me to pay attention to the girls around Sister Fang, saying that it is especially first-class, and I will follow the marriage in the future, and choose a few safe ones."
"This matter is in a hurry, first, Sister Fang's family affairs have not yet been decided, and the few first-class and second-class people around her will not wait for her to get married, and it will take time to cultivate a few in the third-class. The second is that the family affairs of the second brother and Sister Rong are scheduled for next year, and you will be busy with these, so I think Sister Fang's affairs can be put aside for the time being, and let her nurse take care of the yard first. ”
"Well, but since I promised my grandmother, I must go and see more. No, these **** accompanied Brother Yue to Graceland, and the more I went, the more I naturally understood. Listening to my grandmother's meaning, Sister Fang's dowry girl must be safe in the future, and she has been following Sister Fang for a long time, and she knows Sister Fang's temperament, so it seems that she must be selected from the people she is serving now. ”
"Okay, you can do it. Next month's father-in-law's birthday gift, Danzhi has been found, and he will return to Beijing in a few days, and he will bring it with him when the time comes. ”
"Oh, the three-year filial piety period of Grandma Yue has passed?"
"Well, let's go to Zhuangzi for the month when the filial piety was just over, and after Danzhi arranged things over there, he went to his father-in-law's house in Jiangnan, so it can be regarded as an explanation. No matter how much it has been in the past, it will be the same for the sake of Danzhi for his daughter for three years.
"I had a book to help him find the model from the West, and he made people pay attention to it, and sure enough, he found a good one, and my father-in-law will definitely like it."
Xu's father, Xu Guangda, the head of the household, had the greatest hobby of collecting models of various ships, and the family set aside a room to put his models in a lattice.
Xu Shi looked at her husband with a smile, every year for his father's birthday, Xie Zhong would prepare early, which showed that he attached great importance to it. Mrs. Xu once hugged her daughter and said, "Silly child, where is the importance of your father's birthday, they are also valuing you." Thinking of this, Xu's face was like a blooming peach blossom.
Xie Zhong didn't notice his wife's expression, and still said, "It's just that after he comes back like this, I'm afraid that Mrs. Pingxi Hou will marry him again." ”
The light in the mouth of the couple is Yue Zhen, the third son of Pingxi Hou Yue Kuang, one of the six great candidates today, the word Danzhi, 22 years old this year. Five years ago, she married the daughter of Wuzhou, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but died of a bloody collapse in childbirth when she gave birth to her daughter.
For ancient women, childbirth was indeed a ghost gate, and they could only complain about the bad life of the third grandmother. But after the woman's funeral came, she learned from the mouth of the bride that there was another secret, as for what this secret is has always been a secret, and I don't know how the Pingxi Houfu and the third grandmother's family negotiated in the end, anyway, in the end, Yue Zhen helped his wife's coffin back to the Yue family's old house, and at the same time kept filial piety for three years.
Yue Zhen and Xie Zhongda grew up together, and they started Meng together, and went to school together in Guozijian. It's just that because Xie Zhong is the son of the world, he didn't participate in the imperial examination. Yue Zhen was admitted to the Jinshi, but before he could leave the office, he met his wife and began to keep filial piety.
"Last time Pingxi Houfu invited a spring banquet, Mrs. also mentioned that she wanted to give Dan Zhi a position? Supposedly, you can't ask him to marry as soon as you come back, right? Xu asked as he tossed his hair away.
"Who knows? Ever since his wife died, my correspondence with Tamiyuki has always felt as if he had changed as a different person, and the passionate words of the past seemed to be gone. I think Mrs. Xipinghou wants to renew the strings for him, most of them still have to look down on their own meaning," Xie Zhong turned around, and saw his wife sitting in front of the dressing mirror slowly combing her hair, so he walked over and grabbed Xu's shoulders from behind.
One hand was gently pressing Xu's shoulder, and the other hand slid down from Xu's slightly open collar, holding her side through her belly pocket and kneading it gently.
Xu Shijiao gasped and leaned on his arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "The concubine hasn't washed yet?" ”
"I've washed my husband and wife." After Xie Zhong finished speaking, he hugged Xu's ......
