Chapter 90: Meeting (Chapter Two Watches in One Asking for Pink Tickets)
"What Zhao family father and daughter? - It's your uncle and little cousin! Second Master Xie Dongming glanced at Xie Dongliang, "It's not big, it's not small!" β
Xie Dongli lowered his eyes noncommittally, and didn't even look at Xie Dongming. - He doesn't have to speak by himself, the two sisters-in-law have already spoken Xie Dongming together.
"Dongming, that's all you say. When did we stop being big or small? - Even though you are an elder brother, I will also say a fair word, he is more polite than you. Sister-in-law Lu Ruilan said unceremoniously, holding the shelf, twisting her neck, her willow eyebrows upside down, and posing like an eldest sister-in-law.
Xie Dongming's wife, Ning Shumei, also said to her husband, "Put away your words for me as soon as possible!" Uncle and cousin, you call you so affectionately, and you say that we are Dongli, you are elbowing out, right?! β
Xie Dongming's biggest fear is this wife who was born in the Marquis of Wanning's mansion, and when he heard this, he immediately collapsed his momentum, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about playing, Dongli, right?" β
The corners of Xie Donglian's lips pursed slightly, and he said with a faint smile: "Second brother, I'll go to Xingzhou in person to see what's going on." As for the uncle and little cousin, I will entrust it to you. He arched his hand as he spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Shumei furrowed his brows at Xie Dongming and looked at him unkindly.
Xie Dongming slapped the table, "Dongli, you kid, deliberately dig a pit for me!" ββWhat do you want to entrust to me?! You did it for nothing to be a big brother and sister-in-law?! β
"Second brother, you're not kind. Of course, the eldest brother and sister-in-law do not do it in vain, so we have a lot of things. Uncle and little cousin, you really have to be well entertained. Especially my little cousin, when she was born, you personally went to the Zhao family in Xingzhou on behalf of our family. - I'll leave it to you! Sister-in-law Lu Ruilan made a decision on the spot.
Xie Dongming was so choked that he couldn't speak, and after a long time, he said to Xie Dongliang, who was smiling: "Dongliang, the second brother didn't say anything, right?" What's going on? I don't understand......"
"You don't understand? You talk about your own brother for a little cousin you haven't met yet...... I don't understand this, I see that you are old enough to live to be a dog. The eldest brother Xie Dongyi took the opportunity to fall into the well and ridiculed Xie Dongming.
Xie Dongming hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm afraid of you!" Okay, spare me! I won't dare to pick the fifth brother's thorn in the future, okay? Fifth brother, don't you want the second brother to bow to you, right? β
"Of course not." Xie Dongli's face was as usual, and he said calmly: "The father and daughter of the Zhao family can take it." Anyway, I haven't seen my aunt and the Zhao family, you entertain first, and I'll go to Xingzhou immediately. As he spoke, he got up and bowed his hand to his brother and sister-in-law in the house, "Let's go." β
"In such a hurry?" Lu Ruilan got up and chased after two steps, "Fifth brother, don't you see them and go again?" β
"I'll see you when I come back, and there's no hurry." Xie Dong said without looking back, strode out of the main courtyard and went to the house, went back to his yard, and ordered the little servant Ah Shun to clean up his things.
In the afternoon, Xie Dongli took Ah Shun out of Xie's house with his front foot, and the father and daughter of the Zhao family entered Xie's house with their back foot.
"Dongyi! Dongming! As soon as Father Zhao entered the room, he saw Xie Dongyi sitting at the top and Xie Dongming sitting below him, and hurriedly said hello, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you two are still like that." β
Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming hurriedly stood up.
Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei also stood up.
"Uncle hasn't changed much after so many years." Xie Dongyi said with emotion, but he is older, and his temples are gray.
At the beginning, Zhao Junxing, the eldest grandson of the Xingzhou Zhao family, was a well-known and talented and good-looking man, otherwise he would not be able to marry the eldest sister of the prime minister as the original match.
Zhao Jinqi followed behind her father, Zhao Junxing, and looked at these people of the Xie family curiously.
She had never seen them.
The eldest cousin Xie Dongyi is tall and burly, with a high nose and a square nose, red and phoenix eyes, and a bold demeanor, and he is a military general at first glance.
The second cousin Xie Dongming is tall and thin, with a handsome face, and he is also danfeng, and his demeanor is slightly more elegant than that of the eldest cousin, but he is also much rougher than the average talent.
The eldest cousin-in-law, Lu Ruilan, has a gentle and dignified face, her eyes are radiant, and she is a shrewd person at first glance.
The second cousin-in-law, Ning Shumei, heard that she was born in the Wanning Hou Mansion, the daughter of Jiangmen, and she walks like a tiger, and she looks very delicate, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and she speaks with a smile, and she looks like she is easy to get along with.
Lu Ruilan didn't speak, and looked at the father and daughter with a smile.
Uncle Zhao Junxing is indeed similar to what she remembers.
The little cousin has never seen it, but she was born almost exactly like her aunt Xie Chang when she was young.
With these two guarantees, the father and daughter of the Zhao family should be their relatives.
Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei stepped forward and saluted Zhao Junxing: "Uncle has worked hard. β
Zhao Junxing's eyes were red, and he choked up: "Two nieces and daughters-in-law, I've caused you trouble." Our father and daughter have nowhere to go, and the Zhao family is gone, so we have to go to you......"
"Uncle, don't say that. But with our Xie family's mouthful of food, there are a lot of your father and daughter with a pair of chopsticks. Xie Dongyi was busy patting his chest and packing tickets.
Lu Ruilan smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't say that." In addition to us, there are also the second and third uncles. It is said that we are juniors, and we dare not cross the order of the second uncle and the third uncle. So this cutscene still has to go. After a few days, Dongli came back, and we invited the second and third uncles to come over for dinner and see what they had to say. β
Zhao Junxing was stunned and said, "Aren't the second and third children living with you now?" β
Back then, the older generation of the Xie family was three brothers, plus a younger sister.
Xie Dongyi hurriedly said: "My father was in the house when he was here. The second uncle and the third uncle live in Southwest City and Yifang, not far from here. β
As soon as Zhao Junxing heard this, he knew that the second and third rooms of the Xie family were much worse than the third room.
The capitals of the three countries on the mainland of Zhongzhou, Northern Qi, Eastern Yuan and Southern Zheng, all pay attention to "rich in the east and expensive in the west, poor in the south and cheap in the north".
The southwest, northwest, southeast, and northeast directions are all in the middle of the rich and the poor.
It is already very good for ordinary people to live in Southwest City, but for the Xie family, living in Southwest City is relatively cheap.
The Xie family's old mansion was Dongcheng, which was later sold to the Situ family, which shows that the Xie family was still very rich before.
Later, Xie Fu became the prime minister, and the family moved to the Xie family's mansion in Xicheng.
It's a pity that after Xie Fu died, the Xie family gradually declined.
If it weren't for Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei, two daughters-in-law with family backgrounds, the Xie family would have been squeezed out of Dongcheng a long time ago.
Zhao Junxing knew that his second and third uncles would definitely be unwilling to take in their father and daughter, but they were indeed Xie Dongyi's elders, so this transition must be left, otherwise in the future, Xie Dongyi and they would not know how to be polite, and they would make their own decisions over the elders, so they nodded with a smile and said, "If it is not troublesome, of course I want to meet the second and third uncles." β
Zhao Jinqi stepped forward and saluted the Xie family, "Big cousin, big cousin, second cousin, second cousin." After speaking, he paused, and asked curiously, "What about the fifth cousin?" I used to listen to my fifth cousin at home, why aren't you at home today? β
Lu Ruilan said with a haha: "Your fifth cousin has something to do and will come back in a few days." It's okay, since you're here, let's stay well. It's almost the New Year, and you can tell your eldest cousin what clothes you want to add. As he spoke, he called himself and the children in the second room over and said to them, "These are your aunt and grandfather and little cousin. β
The Xie family's big room has four children, and three children in the third room, a total of seven, came over together to bow to Zhao Junxing and Zhao Jinqi, and called them: "Uncle and grandfather, little cousin." β
"No courtesy, no courtesy." Zhao Junxing hurriedly raised his hand and said, "It's a pity that we suffered a disaster, and we rushed to the capital alone to join our relatives, and there was no greeting gift, which made you smile." β
"What did my aunt and grandfather say? You and your little cousin will not die, and there will be blessings in the future. Xie Tongyun, the eldest son of the big house, said busily, very polite.
Lu Ruilan smiled: "Yes, Tongyun is right. Go down first. In the evening, we will have dinner together and give your aunt and uncle and cousin a pick-up."
Zhao Junxing and Zhao Jinqi settled in Xie's house with peace of mind.
β¦β¦
Time flies, and soon more than ten days have passed.
Situ Yingsleeve took Situ Chenlei to play everywhere in Leizhou, and did not lock up in the room every day and didn't ask about the world.
On this day, she took Situ Chenlei to the seaside tidal flat where their Situ family dried salt, standing on the hill near the tidal flat, Situ Yingsleeve pointed to the sea area, and said to Situ Chenlei with a smile: "Xiao Lei, do you see any difference on the sea over there?" β
They come every day, in fact, even if there is a difference, if it is not someone who knows the clues, they will not be able to see it at all.
Unexpectedly, Situ Chenlei stood on tiptoe, looked into the distance, and said seriously: "That island is getting smaller and smaller. β
Not only is it getting smaller and smaller, but it is almost sinking into the water......
Situ Ying clasped his palms and laughed, revealing a mouthful of snow-white and neat glutinous rice teeth, "I didn't expect Xiao Lei to be so powerful!" β
Her laughter wafted in the sea and sky, and her long seaweed-like hair was only loosely tied behind her head, flying in the sea breeze.
The laughter carried the breeze all the way to the sinking island.
"Who? Who's laughing! A sixteen or seventeen-year-old man jumped on his feet and threw a tantrum on the reef, "Laugh again!" I gouged out his eyes! Chop off his tongue! β
"Young Helper, it's not us ......," said a couple of stocky men behind him, cowering.
"I know it's not you!" The young gang leader turned around and scolded them angrily, "I'm not deaf, can't I hear a woman's voice?!" β
Under the sun on the sea, the young gang leader's golden brown skin was shining, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance was very upright, but his angry face made people dare not look directly.
"You say! What the hell is going on?! It's a good island, why is it sinking day by day?! If this continues, how can I burn guano?! What the hell is the Situ family doing over there! They have been ignoring us! The young gang leader was angry and angry, and kicked a reef away.
Thump!
The reef flew far away, drew a parabola in the air, and fell steadily to the bottom of the sea.
His subordinates looked at each other, pushed a talking man out, and said to the young gang leader: "Young gang leader, in fact, the Situ family is just a businessman. If they don't eat the soft ones, let's come with the hard ones! Why play all these tricks with them?! β
The young gang leader glared at him angrily, waved his arms and said, "What do you mean?!" I said, we're the Salt Gang, not the Gangsters! Just know how to fight and kill! Don't you want to do legitimate business?! β
"We want to! But we also need others to be willing to do it for us! The subordinate wailed, "Look, our two Huai Salt Gang have too few salt fields, where can we earn enough money to feed so many people?" -- That's why I occasionally beat up the house and robbed the club, but I just ate a meal. β
"I don't believe it, I can't lead the three thousand brothers of the Lianghuai Salt Gang to the right path with less salt!" The young gang leader waved his arm into the air with great momentum, "Go back and think again!" With that, he hopped into a small boat near the reef and returned to the shore.
Situ Yingsleeve has been observing this young master of the Lianghuai Salt Gang for the past few days, and after listening to his words today, he has an idea in his heart.
"Come on, send a letter to the Shaoyan gang leader of the Lianghuai Salt Gang, and invite him to the Feng Nodding Restaurant in Leizhou for a banquet." Situ Yingsleeve commanded.
"Yes, Miss."
β¦β¦
Shaoyan received the invitation from Situ Yingsleeve, threw the post aside very proudly, and said arrogantly: "What's wrong?" Scared? Hehe, let's talk about it in a few days! β
But he didn't "wait a few days", and one night later, his reef finally sank to the bottom.
Situ Yingsleeve got the news, closed his palms, and said with a smile: "The crown of thorns starfish is really good!" β
It took half a month to finally "collapse" this island and reef!
β¦β¦
"Young helper! Less helpers! That island reef...... Island & Reef ...... It's all sunk to the bottom! The Salt Gang's gang rushed to Shao Yan's bedroom to report back.
Shaoyan had just gotten up, and when he heard the words, he immediately rushed out and ran to the beach.
Raising his eyes, he saw a vast wave of smoke, and the sea was open and boundless.
It was the early morning and the beginning of the day, the sea was sparkling, and a round of red sun erupted, illuminating the deep blue sea like thousands of golden snakes dancing wildly.
Such a beautiful scenery, but Shaoyan has no heart to watch.
He frowned, and couldn't wait for the others to hold the boat over, so he plunged into the water and swam to the other side of the reef.
Swimming nearer, he saw that the reef was surrounded by countless thorny starfish.
ββ¦β¦ Starfish? Shaoyan swam back to shore and asked his men, "What's the use of starfish?" Why are there so many starfish near our islands and reefs? β
"Starfish?! Is it a crown of thorns starfish? If so, then the subordinates understand that the crown of thorns starfish eats coral. Our islands and reefs are eaten by them! β
"What a cunning!" Shaoyan was so angry that he smashed his fist on the reef, "How could the Situ family come up with such a tricky idea!" β
ββ¦β¦ Young helper, didn't the Situ family invite you to the Feng Nodding Restaurant for a banquet? You might as well go and see what they have to say......" one of the gang hesitated to persuade.
Shaoyan sighed, stood up from the seawater, and said, "Go, why don't you go." If you don't go, you can't do it......"
β¦β¦
"Miss, the young gang leader of the Lianghuai Salt Gang has agreed to go to the banquet."
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, "Remember to bring me more wine and put it in the private room where Feng nodded." β
Today, she is going to negotiate a deal with the two Huai Salt Gangs.
Once it is done, the shopkeeper Lu Da is bound to be impressed by her, and he should let her enter the business circle of the Situ family two years in advance, so that she can find the mastermind behind her like a thorn in her back as soon as possible.
