060 The couple's abacus
Apricot answered, turned and walked out of the room. Xia Chan glanced at the sky and said
"The fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister came back at this time, have you been to the old mansion?"
Xiao Shilang pushed the big bowl in front of him a little more, and looked up to see Xia Chan looking at him, smiling awkwardly
"I've already been there, and now we come here to invite my eldest brother and sister-in-law to go to the old house for dinner at noon."
Xia Chan automatically ignored the disgust in Xiao Shilang's eyes, although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the old mansion today, Xia Chan didn't think it was easy to mess with. Not afraid of their calculations
"Really? Since my father and mother invited us over for dinner, it is not good for us juniors to go empty-handed. Let's do this, the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister will sit down first, and I'll go to the kitchen to see if there are any ready-made dishes to make a few, and bring them with me when I go over, which can be regarded as a meal for ourselves."
Ge Yuer smiled, "I have long heard that my sister-in-law makes a good dish, and now I want to eat more of my father's blessing."
"Look at what the fourth brother and sister said, it's not as exaggerated as everyone says"
Xia Chan got up and went to the kitchen, leaving only Xiao Shilang and Ge Yuer in the room.
"Yu'er, why do you think that the house of braised meat will be in the eldest brother and sister-in-law's bedroom?"
Ge Yu'er looked calculating at this time, and she was still as shy and lovely as she was just now. He got up and walked to the bedroom, talking as he went
"There's no reason, it's just a woman's intuition"
Xiao Shilang followed behind, his hands trembling unconsciously because of nervousness. Ge Yu'er glared at him with disgust, then ignored him and began to look for him all over the room.
Because she didn't know how long it would take for Xia Cicada to come back, Ge Yu'er turned things over extremely quickly. In less than a cup of tea, a bedroom was turned over from head to toe by her. It's just that what she was looking for, she didn't even find a shadow
Xiao Shilang stared at the courtyard nervously, and when he turned around, he saw that Ge Yu'er had finished searching, and he didn't care if she found it or not, so he pulled someone and walked to the hall. Coincidentally, as soon as she walked to the door, Ge Yuer was attracted by the uneven bump area under the bed.
Thinking of something, he happily shook off Xiao Shilang's hand. An arrow rushed over. In a few clicks, a worn-out wooden box was turned out
"Xianggong, I found it."
About a quarter of an hour, Xia Cicada made three meat dishes, put them in a basket, and carried them back to the house
"Seeing that the time is not early, your eldest brother went to the surrounding villages to collect beans today, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for dinner at noon. Let's go over first. It wouldn't be good if we let my father and mother wait for us."
After getting what they wanted, Xiao Shilang and his wife naturally wanted to leave here quickly. Without waiting for Xia Chan to finish speaking, the couple had already gotten up, and at this time, Xing'er, who had just gone out to get something, suddenly broke in, and Ge Yu'er saw the most stable maid beside her, at this time, she was in such a hurry, and said with some displeasure
"Xing'er, what's the matter, why did it take so long for you to take something a few steps away?" Seeing Xing'er empty-handed, her face became more and more ugly, "Where's the thing?" ”
Apricot was on her knees, her clothes covered in dirt. At this time, she couldn't care too much, and kowtowed several times before she choked up
"Miss, just now Xing'er went out to get the gifts in the carriage, and was accidentally seen by a few children in the old house. Xing'er was pushed by them without paying attention....As a result, Xing'er fell, and everything was snatched away by those children."
After Xing'er finished speaking, Xia Chan looked like she had known it for a long time. Since Xiao Shilang and the others had been to the old mansion, the Huang family naturally knew about the fact that they brought things over. I didn't want to give her anything, and it was hard to say it, so I thought of such a way. Hmph, Huang, should I praise you for being smart or should I sigh that you have no brains?
Xiao Shilang and Ge Yuer on the side obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Xiao Shilang blamed the Huang family for being vulgar in his heart, and was worried that Ge Yuer would go home and have trouble with her, so his face was gloomy.
Yesterday, because of the one hundred taels of silver, as soon as he got home, Ge Yuer had a big fight with him, saying that their family was all things that couldn't be put on the table, and scolded him for being useless.
Thinking of last night's incident, Xiao Shilang clenched his fists. Without looking at anyone, he turned around and walked out of the house.
Seeing this, Ge Yuer didn't chase after her, and she wished that Xiao Shilang would go back and make a big fuss with the old mansion, that Xiao Erlang was a complete bastard. Not only did they go to their Ge family's shop twice in three days to ask for money and things in the name of Xiao Shilang, but they also ran to their house to eat and drink, losing the face of their Ge family.
Hmph, I knew that their Xiao family was such a person, and she wouldn't marry Xiao Shilang when she said anything. Except for a good-looking skin, it's nothing good.
"Sister Xia, is Sister Xia at home? I'm a potato."
Xia Cicada stood in the yard with a basket, and when she heard the cry at the door, she muttered in her heart, what kind of wind is it today, as if she has made an appointment, she doesn't want to see anyone, but she has found the door
"Sister Xia, you are at home. Look, I've been shouting at you several times, why shouldn't you say it?"
Xia Cicada sighed, and when she looked up again, the potatoes had already entered the yard. Glancing at the potatoes from the corner of his eye, he said unhappily
"Didn't you come in before I could answer? Why, on such a hot day, you and your son-in-law really have Yaxing, and they came all the way to our poor ravine, are you here to escape the heat? ”
Xia Cicada said playfully, and walked quickly to the door. In addition to Xiao Shilang's carriage, there was also a very luxurious carriage parked not far away
Xia Cicada smacked her lips and said with envy, "This carriage is so beautiful, potatoes, how much do you buy them?"
"Ah...."The potato couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the summer cicada, why did he just look unwelcome, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at his carriage with a look of wealth.
Wiped the sweat stains on the corners of his forehead with his sleeve, stepped forward cautiously and said, "I don't know about this, otherwise, you can ask my son-in-law, this carriage was specially designed and built by my son-in-law." The decoration inside is also very difficult to find."
"Hehe, that's it, then I'll just take a look, just take a look"
Xia Cicada came back to his senses, and then remembered the intention of forgetting to ask the potato to come over at this time. Just as he wanted to ask, the curtain on the carriage was opened from the inside, and Xia Chan looked up and saw Murong Ye's demonic handsome face
"Tsk, it's really a demon. Isn't it a scourge for a man to look so beautiful?"
Xia Chan muttered quietly on the side, Murong Ye's excellent hearing, he listened to it word for word, and his originally gentle eyes slowly rose with a slight chill
The potato on the side didn't understand why his son-in-law changed his face so well, he didn't dare to ask, but he was much more careful when he served
Xia Cicada looked up and saw that it was not early, so she stepped forward with the basket in her hand and said
"Murong Ye, I'm going to go to the old mansion for lunch now, and let Tudou take you to my house for a meeting first. My eldest sister is here, and lunch is ready. You eat first, I'll try to come back early."
