Chapter 17 Trial Turmoil
It really made Wang's right. The Fang clan bolted the door of the house from the inside, and Xia Jianxi walked out of the inner room.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Who knows! Anyway, it's not a good thing, and I guess I'm looking for you to complain about the old family. Fang said.
"Hmph, the second child knows that he is poor, if it wasn't for him last time, he wouldn't have offended Qingyun's girl. It turned out that when she was sick, I also helped her find Langzhong, and with this, she also had to think of me, the third uncle. Xia Jianxi said, leaning over to Fang's side and sitting down.
"What's the use of thinking about you?" Fang Shi glanced at him and pushed him away from him, "If you think about it again, she didn't spend a penny of her silver!" Look at the old guys, which one is not a new shoe and a new coat now? It's still muslin! ”
"Alas, the big woman doesn't stay, and she stays and stays to become an enemy." Xia Jianxi said indifferently.
"Dad, what do you say?" Ahn asked, squinting at him.
"Do you think, the old family is famous, but Qingyun is now fourteen, and even Qiuyun is twelve, and he won't get married in two years? When she leaves, the old family or the eldest brother has the final say. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are all easy to talk to, how can their big house be able to spare a few rooms for us to live in? Xia Jianxi said, and slowly approached the Fang clan again.
"That being said, I haven't heard of anyone proposing to their family." Fang Shi gathered his hair in a bun and leaned against the head of the bed and said.
"Don't worry, soon, someone will go soon!" Xia Jianxi leaned over and hugged Fang's family, "The children are all out, let me have fun too." ”
"In this broad daylight," Fang made a gesture to push him, but was hugged tighter by Xia Jianxi.
"What's wrong with the daytime, it's more enjoyable to look at your body during the day." Xia Jianxi put his hand under her shirt and kneaded it wantonly. There was a gasp in the room.
The two rooms in the old house are lazy and lazy, and they don't take care of the six acres of fertile land, but complain and play at home.
Xia Jianping's wife took her sister-in-law who had not left the cabinet to be a female celebrity in the house. The sister-in-law's name is Xia Yinglan, and her appearance is also very delicate, but she is very honest and timid, and she usually doesn't dare to speak loudly.
Xia Yinglan is nineteen this year, and she is a veritable old girl. A few years ago, the person who said that he was close to him broke through the threshold, but her mother didn't take a fancy to any of them. In addition, Xia Jian'an asked for a lot of dowries, and gradually fewer people came to the door again.
While doing needlework, the old lady sighed and said: "When your father left, I was also confused by those two lazy women and separated your eldest brother." Now the boss's life has improved, but I, a mother, have no face to come to the door. ”
She saw that Xia Yinglan buried her head and was silent, and sighed again: "You are also a pestle nest, I said earlier that you should go to your sister-in-law to talk about it, help you do something, why don't you move the nest?" ”
"I'm scared." Xia Yinglan snorted.
"What are you afraid of? Your sister-in-law is a good talker, never blushing with others, and her hands and feet are diligent. Alas, "Mother put down the work in her hand," when she is at home, don't worry about it, she can cook me a hot meal. It's good now, the second and third families can't be pointed at all. ”
"Mother, I'll help you." Xia Yinglan said in a low voice.
"I heard the mother of the little baby next door say that your niece's workshop is going to open, recruit people to be female celebrities, you go to your eldest brother's house at night to ask, so that you can save yourself a dowry money." The old lady commanded.
Xia Yinglan hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
Dinner was made by the rough mother-in-law, an ordinary peasant meal, and it tasted quite delicious. Xia Jianping's family had just finished eating around the table when they heard someone whispering to the door.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, are you at home?"
"It's Yinglan?" The mother hurriedly opened the door and called the sister-in-law in.
The mother poured her a glass of water and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Xia Yinglan nodded, blushed and said, "My mother asked me to come over and ask if I could go to Qingyun's workshop to try." ”
The mother pulled her to sit down and said affectionately: "Yinglan, you don't usually come out and walk around, the children miss you a lot." About the workshop, Qingyun posted a notice, come over tomorrow to try the work, and hire the best. But my sister-in-law knows that your work is fine, so it should be fine. ”
Dad also interjected: "You have time to come and sit down." How is my mother's body lately? ”
Xia Yinglan nodded and said, "Mother is very good." My mother often told me that she regretted listening to the words of the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, and separated her brother and sister-in-law."
She wanted her eldest brother and sister-in-law to dispel the misunderstanding of her mother, but she felt that she shouldn't say this behind her mother's back, so her voice became smaller and quieter, and finally she couldn't hear it at all.
Seeing that the family was staring at her, Xia Yinglan blushed even more, bowed her head and said, "Then I'll go back first." He turned around and went out of the house.
After Xia Yinglan left, her mother sighed and said, "Your sister-in-law is good, but she is too honest and is too dead to be managed by her grandmother." ”
Xia Qingyun asked, "My sister-in-law is nineteen this year, why doesn't anyone say kiss?" ”
Dad sighed, "I used to say that there were a lot of relatives, your father was sick in bed at that time, and your grandmother and second uncle were in charge of the affairs of the family." You're too big to look down on those people. Later, I took a fancy to it, and people thought that your second uncle wanted a lot of dowry. came and went, and now she has become an old girl. ”
"My sister-in-law is also pitiful." Xia Qingyun said.
"Isn't that what you mean?" The mother glanced at her father, and said to Xia Qingyun: "Your sister-in-law's female red is doing a good job, I have seen it." Why don't you let your sister-in-law come? ”
Xia Qingyun said: "If that's the case, my sister-in-law will go directly to the workshop tomorrow to try work, and she will be hired soon!" ”
Dad listened to her words, and the look on his face softened, "That's good, your sister-in-law is honest and never causes trouble." Even if the money she earns is handed over to her mother, she can save herself a rich dowry. ”
After talking about the sister-in-law, Xia Qingyun brought the family into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion.
She and her dad made several sets of tea tubes and tea utensils for samples.
The mother is idle, so she took Huayun and Qiuyun to the field to raise seedlings.
Early the next morning, there was a long queue at the gate of the large cross courtyard, and almost all the young men and women in the village came to try the work. There are also many old ones pulling their little grandchildren to watch the excitement on the side.
The male worker is in the outer courtyard, and Hua Yun is responsible for registration, and the father is responsible for demonstrating the handiwork and checking the quality.
The content of the trial work is very simple, make a tea tube and a tea rule according to the sample. The tea tube is only required to be branded with a simple painting, and there is no need to brand the words. Whatever is done quickly and well, stay for the time being.
The female workers are in the inner courtyard, and Xia Qingyun and her mother are in charge together. My mother knows more about the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village, and even if she doesn't look at the handiwork, she can tell which one is good. However, for the sake of fairness, the assessment is still carried out uniformly in accordance with the regulations.
The women of Beixi Village entered the inner courtyard, first took out the female red they had prepared, and the meticulous work was pointed out to the next table to tie the silk thread and learn to play Yingluo. If you can play a qualified Yingluo, you can be hired.
Xia Qingyun sat calmly behind the table, and the rough envoy on the side took the female red and put it in front of her to inspect.
I was overjoyed, and I pouted angrily, but when I saw that the female celebrity in my hand was really not as good as others, I could only walk away convincingly.
In the queue, the mother not only saw Xia Yinglan's figure, but also saw Wang's family, she put down the things in her hand, walked to Xia Qingyun's ear and whispered a few words.
When it was Xia Yinglan's turn, she handed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand to the rough envoy, and stood in front of the table with her head bowed and a red face.
Xia Qingyun hurriedly stood up, looked at the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are here, I have seen the handkerchief, the embroidery can be delicate, go to my mother to get the silk thread." ”
Xia Yinglan raised her head and glanced at her quickly. With a shy smile, he turned his head to find his sister-in-law.
After a while, the Wang family also came to the table, directly bypassed the rough envoy, and threw an embroidered purse in front of Xia Qingyun.
"Qingyun, don't worry about the second aunt's craftsmanship, I'll go find your mother to lead the silk thread."
Wait, Xia Qingyun stopped her, "Second aunt, you better take your purse and go home." ”
"What?" Wang's face fell suddenly, "I'm your second aunt!" Where can I make a purse that can't compare to others? Why don't you let me go? ”
Xia Qingyun was not in a hurry, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then may I ask the second aunt, this purse is really made by yourself?" ”
"Of course!" Wang is right.
Xia Qingyun raised her purse, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, "Second aunt, what is embroidered on this purse?" ”
Wang's face turned white, and he said casually: "What else can be embroidered, it's nothing more than some flowers and plants, ask what is the use of this, and you can get it if you have good handwork." ”
Xia Qingyun handed the purse in her hand to the rough envoy and asked her to pass it on to everyone, "Second aunt, the purse is embroidered with double lotus on one side and mandarin ducks on the other. This is obviously embroidered by a girl who has not been out of the cabinet to give to a lover or as a dowry. It's rare that you and your second uncle's old husband and wife are still so good! ”
The big girl and the little daughter-in-law next to her covered their mouths and laughed, pointing behind her back.
Wang's face turned white for a while, and he said hatefully: "What's so funny about this? It doesn't matter what the embroidery is, you can pass it with good craftsmanship, this is what you clearly wrote on the notice! ”
Xia Qingyun took the purse handed back by the rough mother-in-law, slammed it on the table, and said with a calm face: "Second aunt, I call you second aunt, respect you as my elder." Those who are elders should be like elders. The aunts and sisters in the village are here, in front of everyone, I dare to say that this purse was not made by you, but by my sister-in-law! Don't say anything more, I'm not going to use you here. ”
Seeing that Xia Qingyun saw through it and was slapped in the face in front of the villagers, Wang couldn't help but become angry.
She scolded: "You girl with no conscience, you want to eat and drink at home for nothing when you were covered in leprosy, what did I say as a second aunt?" Now that he has a few taels of silver, he has shaken his majesty, and even his relatives have not recognized him, and he has turned his elbows outward, and he would rather hire those outsiders who should not be hired than pull his own people, and your conscience will be eaten by dogs! ”
