Chapter 49: Continuations and Successions
As soon as Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun left, Xu Qirong asked Yu Qiu to instruct the kitchen to cook more dishes that the two sisters liked for dinner, and then asked Qiu Nong to go to Fenghe Courtyard to invite her sister over.
Xu Qijin was very surprised: "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Qirong told Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun what happened just now, and Xu Qijin sneered: "You should do this in the future!" It's a shame that the two of them are still sisters, and they have the ability to come to Fenghe Courtyard to find me something! ”
Xu Qijin has a tough personality, although Fengheyuan is the eyeliner that others have inserted, there is really no one who dares to move her things under her nose. It's Fenghua Courtyard, although they are all people arranged by the Shen family before leaving, but jewelry or something, there will always be a few pieces missing inexplicably. There is no way to check it.
Xu Qirong didn't care about that, smiled, and asked Xu Qijin: "Sister, is the poetry of the General's Mansion that the eldest sister and the third sister said true?" ”
Xu Qijin nodded: "I have already said that I don't want to go, saying that it is a poetry meeting, but it is just for General Yang Xiao." I still have six years to go, and I'm afraid General Yang Xiao can't wait. Besides, most of the generals' families don't pay so much attention to the rules, just look at our family. I really don't want to go! ”
Whether the General's Mansion does not respect the rules Xu Qirong didn't know, but he felt in his heart that Jiaren eloped with the monk and Yang Jingcheng was willing to forgive him, which shows that this is a good person who values love and righteousness. Moreover, the Yang family has military power, if Jiaren really lives well with General Yang Xiao, the entire Xinchen Kingdom, I'm afraid that no one will dare to show her face!
So he asked Xu Qijin: "I heard that Shuanglian County is going to go?" ”
As soon as Xu Qijin mentioned this, he was worried: "You also know that the county lord is a person who likes to join in the fun." She's been pestering me all day today, four years older than me, and she plays like a three-year-old. I have to go to the poetry meeting too, saying that I am not bored alone. ”
Xu Qirong nodded: "Alone? Isn't the county lord of Jiaren going? ”
Xu Qijin's eyes lit up: "That's right!" I'll tell the county lord to go tomorrow, and let her call the county lord to go with me! ”
The day before arriving at the poetry meeting, Xu Qirong really received a letter from Jiaren, saying that he was so entangled by Shuang Lian that he had no choice but to accompany Shuang Lian to participate in the Lao Shizi Poetry Club in the General's Mansion. also complained that Xu Qijin was not righteous enough! Xu Qirong breathed a sigh of relief, and wrote back to Jiaren to say that she heard that there was a little lady in the General's Mansion who was more powerful at horseback archery than ordinary sons and brothers, and she heard that she had spent some days in the training ground. The temperament is very cheerful. Tuo Jiaren will go to see the heroine of the female middle school for her when the time comes.
The organizers of Jiaren County are very reliable, and as soon as the poetry meeting passed, he immediately wrote a letter to Xu Qirong, saying that in order to satisfy Xu Qirong's curiosity, he deliberately went to get acquainted with Yang Mengyun. The letter was full of praise for Yang Mengyun, saying that it was only when he found out that there was really a female general-like character.
Yes, the county lord of Jiaren praised Yang Mengyun in the letter as a female general-like figure, which is already very high.
Xu Qirong breathed a sigh of relief, since the county lord of Jiaren likes Yang Mengyun, then Yang Jingcheng, the brother who will be assigned to marry Yang Mengyun in the future, she shouldn't be so disgusted! As long as the county lord of Jiaren does not reject General Yang Xiao, no matter how hard Zhou Weifei is, he should not be able to take Jiaren away!
So, Xu Qirong, who was greatly relieved, persuaded the county lord of Jiaren in letters many times, saying that a little lady like Yang Mengyun must have more contacts.
The county lord of Jiaren replied to Xu Qirong in a serious manner, and the letter read: I thought about it carefully, except for you, Sister Jin and Shuang Lian, my three friends who drink and meat, I don't have any friends. This Yang Mengyun is very good, I will introduce her to you another day.
Xu Qirong choked when he saw this letter, although the three of them were either eating or talking about food together, they couldn't be described as friends with wine and meat! So he was very arrogant and did not write a reply to the county lord of Jiaren.
Jiaren also knew that Xu Qirong was angry, and the next day he asked the maid to send a plate of crystal potato cake and a pot of pot-fourried porridge, and finally succeeded in winning back his wine and meat friends, and began regular correspondence again.
By the time of the Shen family's festival in September, Xu Qirong received a letter from the Shen family, saying that he had finally moved to Jinzhou, and with the letter, it was a Yangzhou specialty of several carriages, and good things were prepared for the Xu family.
Mrs. Shen's thoughts are obvious, her daughter is gone, and the remaining two granddaughters are pitiful, fortunately, she has money, and I hope that after the Xu family gets the benefits, they will treat the two sisters preferentially for the sake of this benefit.
How could Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong not understand that after receiving the letter, the two of them cried a lot on the Shen family's sacrifice day.
Xu Qirong had the heart to inquire with the Shen family about the current situation in Yangzhou, the Shen family found an opportunity to slip away, and it was impossible for the Hua family to stop looking for a substitute for the dead. But thinking about the letter handed out by Fenghua Academy, before it reached the hands of the Shen family, I don't know how many people have read it, so I dispelled this idea.
Which family has been harmed by the Hua family, as long as the Shen family is fine! Although Mrs. Shen said it easily in the letter, Xu Qirong also imagined that it was impossible for the Shen family to get out without first taking off a layer of skin. Moreover, my grandmother said in the letter that her third uncle was free to die, which means that the third uncle was actually injured. However, it is already very good to be able to avoid the disaster of raiding the house.
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong didn't have to ask Mrs. Guo every day, but they received a gift list from the Shen family, and Mrs. Guo sent someone to call the two sisters to talk over to show their kindness. When the two sisters arrived at Lin'an Hall hand in hand, they found that the Xu family and the whole family were here.
In front of a room of juniors, Mrs. Xu knocked the jade smoke gun, and while the maid sorted out the jade tassels on his waist, he said in a deep voice: "So you are a woman's family, and you smile when you get something." Shiro, what's going on with your Yue family? Yangzhou business is doing well, and the foundation is also in Yangzhou, why did you go to Jinzhou to do the fur business? ”
The latter words were said to Xu Tingyuan. Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong looked at each other, sat down next to a few juniors in a proper manner, and didn't say anything.
Master Xu Si said: "I only said that I was going to move to Jinzhou before, and I didn't know that I was going to change careers. ”
Xu Tingsong, the second master of Xu, frowned: "I heard that the Shen family lost thirteen shops in Yangzhou City!" That's a lot of silver! Speaking of the back, he was a little distressed, "It's so hard to give gifts to the Xu family, and the thirteen shops don't want to do it, it's really confusing!" ”
Old Mrs. Guo looked at Second Master Xu and nodded approvingly. Among the several masters of the Xu family, she is the most partial to her eldest son, so naturally she agrees with whatever the second master Xu says.
Xu Tingjin said with a smile: "Second brother's words are a bit biased, our Xu family is not short of anything." What the Shen family sent was all heart, and there was no reason to talk about it. Besides, the Shen family will do business, and there is naturally a reason for them to make such a choice. "I was actually helping Master Xu Si speak.
Xu Tingjin's words are reasonable, and everyone naturally has nothing to say.
Old lady Xu glared at Xu Tingsong, but instead looked at Xu Tingjin and nodded approvingly, and said, "It's Da Lang who said this truth." It's just that the Shen family is the in-laws of our Xu family, and Shiro also wrote to them to tell them that no matter what big moves, we still have to be psychologically prepared for those of us who are relatives! ”
Xu Tingyuan has never cared about these things, and when he heard Old Lady Xu say this, he nodded casually, thinking that when Jin'er and Rong'er replied to the Shen family, they would attach a letter to mention Old Lady Xu's words.
Old lady Xu told Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong a few words again, and said: "It's all a family, your mother is gone, you should come to Antang more often." ”
The third wife, Su Shi, suddenly said: "The fourth brother and sister have been gone for a year, and there has been no one around the fourth brother, so we should find someone to take care of the fourth brother and the two sisters Sister Jin and Sister Rong." ”
The third old man Xu Tingbai was born to Mrs. Xu and Aunt Dong, and even the Su family and Xu Qiyu were not treated by Mrs. Guo, so the Su family has always regarded himself as an invisible person, and everyone was taken aback when he opened his mouth.
Although everyone was surprised, they also felt that Su was right, although Xu Tingyuan had a maid around him, but the maid was just a thing, where could he be counted as someone around him!
Xu Qijin didn't react, but Xu Qirong frowned in his heart, if this time Xu Si continued to marry the Cheng family, wouldn't it be ruined again to see that the days were getting better and better!
Fourth Master Xu glanced at Xu Qirong and said with a smile: "Sister Jin and Sister Rong are sensible, where do you need others to take care of them!" As you know, I like to run outside, travel with friends, play in the mountains and rivers, and sing poems or something, and I don't feel comfortable with one more person in charge. ”
As soon as Master Xu Si's words came out, Su's face stiffened, and he subconsciously glanced at Xu Tingbai and stopped talking.
Old lady Xu shook his head: "Our family, you are alone, how can I see my brother in the future?" ”
Master Xu Si said with a smile: "Second uncle's heart, my father naturally knows, the second uncle is like his own brother to our two brothers, my father knows everything, and it is too late to thank the second uncle!" ”
Master Xu also said: "Second uncle is really worried. ”
Qiao's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "I knew that the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister had a good relationship, since the fourth brother himself is unwilling, we have to help take care of Sister Jin and Sister Rong more." With us as aunts and aunts, the old lady and the ancestors can relax. ”
Xu Jinxing didn't insist, and said a few words of encouragement to be diligent and motivated, and then asked everyone to disperse. Xu Qirong took Xu Qijin's hand and slowly walked outside Lin'an Hall, and saw the fourth brother Xu You following behind Xu Tingyuan, the fourth uncle and the fourth uncle screamed affectionately, and there was a burst of disgust.
Qiao's helped Xu Tingyuan speak, and he naturally had a small calculation in his heart. Xu Tingyuan refused to continue the string, so he couldn't give birth to a son, he was born in the same room, and he couldn't even count as a concubine, how could he inherit the family business of the fourth room! When the time comes, it is indispensable to pass from other rooms.
If you don't pass from the knees of your eldest brother, where will you pass from?
Qiao's face was full of joy.
