Chapter 21: We're Rich!
Xu Qirong was stunned by Mrs. Guo, she used to think that Mrs. Guo was just a little partial, but now it seems that Mrs. Guo's behavior is really not on the stage!
Xu Qirong is a girl raised in a deep boudoir, and she is only six years old this year, just to bring a gift to her family, you don't need to guess to know that it was prepared by the Shen family.
Xu Qidie is young, it's nothing to ask like this, Mrs. Guo is an old person, what kind of trouble is it that I don't like you if you don't satisfy everyone?
So Xu Qirong thought for a moment, showing a sluggish look, and then smirked: "Seventh sister, Uncle Gao said that we will send the specialties we brought back from Yangzhou to the courtyard of your sisters and sisters later, if you are in a hurry, should you go to Uncle Gao?" ”
Every time the maid and wife next to Xu Qidie talk about Uncle Gao, they are talking about it, Xu Qidie has heard and seen it since she was a child, and she has an extra layer of fear for Uncle Gao. Hearing Xu Qirong say this, he pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything more. Xu Qimoth beside her was even less courageous, and when she heard the word Gao Bo, she had already shrunk and hid behind her mother.
When Mrs. Guo saw her two granddaughters like this, she couldn't help frowning, she was so afraid of a subordinate, it was really a shame for the Xu family.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xu Qiyun say: "Fifth sister, this is your mistake." How can you let Gao Bo accept the gifts you prepared for your sisters and sisters? Not to mention that he is not light or heavy, and he can't afford to pay for it, and he is a man, how can he let him hold the things of our daughter's house? ”
At this time, Gao Bo just finished ordering the others to move things, and as soon as he came in, he saw Xu Qirong being surrounded by a group of people talking at the second gate. Xu Qiyun's words, Gao Bo heard them clearly, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but in the end, he was a subordinate, and he didn't dare to say anything.
After Xu Qiyun said this, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Guo, who nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Qirong is even more disgusted with Xu Qiyun in his heart, no wonder Xu Qiyun had a good reputation in his previous life, and one mouth can reverse black and white.
So he simply made an innocent look: "Everything was bought by Gao Bo in Yangzhou City, I thought to myself, the maids and women who follow me have never seen anything in the world, where is there a person like Gao Bo who often runs outside with his father has a vision." The third sister said so, then I don't dare to send those things to the eyes of the sisters, when I left, the third cousin of the Shen family gave me a few pieces of silk handkerchief, although it is not as good as our family, but it is also a heart. ”
When these words came out, everyone was angry, how much is the silk handkerchief worth? Especially Xu Qimoth and Xu Qidie, they both glared at Xu Qiyun angrily, Xu Qiyu didn't dare to offend Xu Qiyun, she didn't show it on her face, and she was unhappy in her heart.
Gao Bo stood behind everyone, but he gave a thumbs up in his heart. My own lady went out and knew that she was saving! The silk handkerchief was much cheaper than the things I had kept.
Xu Qiyun opened his mouth and was speechless. Subconsciously turned her head to look at Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo frowned, suppressed her displeasure, and said, "I'm afraid there is still chaos in Sister Rong's house, go to Lin'an Hall to sit for a while, and then go back when Fenghua Courtyard is cleaned up." ”
Xu Qirong was a little surprised, he had been tired of driving and riding for about a month, no matter how comfortable the carriage was, but now he was sleepy and tired, how could Mrs. Guo tell herself to go to Lin'an Hall? Moreover, her sister is still sick, and her mother hasn't burned paper before her spirit!
Seeing a trace of calculation flashing on Mrs. Guo's face, she immediately understood that Mrs. Guo wanted to talk to her!
Gao Bo was also unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, the fourth master left a letter, let the fifth lady come back, go to worship the fourth lady first, talk to the Buddha hall, and then go to see Mrs. Qiao." This has been in a hurry for more than a month, and Miss Five is also tired. ”
The jade cleverness that Xu Qirong followed behind also said: "Yu Xia is the most reassuring to do things, and he will definitely take people to clean Fenghua Courtyard every day!" And Fenghua Courtyard is big, even if Yu Xia forgot to clean it, it is okay to clean up a clean wing room for the fifth lady to rest. ”
Although Xu Jinyan and Xu Jinxing did not divide the family, they divided the courtyard of the Xu family equally. Entering from the second gate, it is divided into two cross-courtyards in the east and west, and the east cross-courtyard includes the ancestral hall and the Buddha hall. Therefore, the two brothers, Xu Tingjin and Xu Tingyuan, divided the West Cross Courtyard equally.
Xu Jinxing has more children and grandchildren, and he has carried a lot of aunts, and when they are divided, the yard is naturally very compact. And on the side of the West Cross Courtyard, Xu Tingyuan is not interested in women, there is no aunt, and now the Shen family is gone. It is equivalent to that Xu Tingyuan, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong account for a quarter of the entire Xu family!
As soon as Jade said this, Mrs. Guo's face suddenly became ugly, is this because her Lin'an Hall is small? But it's not good to put down your body and worry about a little girl. I had no choice but to say: "In this case, let's go and burn incense for the Shen family first!" But I thought in my heart that the fourth child was arrogant, and he would not fight the Shen family's idea of giving Sister Rong money at all, and she was not in a hurry, and she asked slowly later.
Xu Qirong nodded, looking grateful: "It's still my uncle and grandmother who cherish her appearance!" Then he turned to Yu Qiu and said, "What about the chestnut cake I brought to my uncle and grandmother?" Get it! ”
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Xu Qirong explained with a smile: "The chestnut cake in Yangzhou Xiangmanlou is particularly delicious, before I left, I went out to buy it with Liu's mother, and my uncle and grandmother must like to eat it!" It's a pity that that thing is not very easy to keep, and I didn't bring much. ”
Everyone's expressions froze, and you still say that you can't keep the dim sum for a month?
Mrs. Guo was annoyed in her heart, it could be seen that Xu Qirong looked flattering, and she felt that she was just a six-year-old child, so she shouldn't have thought of such a deliberate response.
Then he said: "I don't eat sweets recently, you can keep it for yourself!" ”
There are still ignorant people, Xu Qidie said: "Fifth sister, Butterfly wants to eat." ”
The corners of Mrs. Guo's mouth twitched, and she said in her heart, why are her own girls more stupid than the other? Regardless of Xu Qidie, he turned around and walked to Lin'an Hall. Xu Qiyun hurriedly stepped forward to help, Xu Qiyu, who had not spoken much, obediently followed, Xu Qidie also wanted to ask Xu Qirong for chestnut cakes, but was stopped by Xu Qimoth.
From afar, Xu Qirong also heard Xu Qimo persuade Xu Qidie: "Fifth sister is so stupid, I put the chestnut cake for a month and take it out for everyone to eat!" Seventh sister, let's not stay with the fifth sister in the future, it will be contagious. ”
Hearing that their girl was stupid, Yu Qiu was indignant, Xu Qirong pulled Yu Qiu's sleeve, and while walking towards the Fenghe courtyard where Xu Qijin lived, he commanded: "I am very tired, you send the few pieces of regular embroidered handkerchiefs and Qin Post Dong Candy I picked to the Buddha Hall, and tell her that I know that my grandmother likes to be quiet, so I won't bother her Rong, this handkerchief and Qin Post Dong Candy, Qi Rong thinks it is very good, please grandmother must accept it." ”
Yu Qiu was surprised: "How do you think of the Buddha Hall?" "Before Xu Qirong was born, Princess Chen of Pingtai had already moved to the Buddhist hall. Not to mention Xu Qirong, even Xu Qirong's biological mother, Shen, has never seen Princess Pingtai a few times.
Xu Qirong said lightly: "That's my grandmother!" "Calculated carefully, the only one who protected her in her previous life was the Buddha Hall.
Yu Qiu nodded hurriedly, and Gao Bo, who was ignored, hurriedly said: "The villain immediately ordered someone to find out the things." ”
Xu Qirong didn't look at Gao Bo, and said, "No need, Yu Qiu knows where it is." ”
After speaking, he went to Fengheyuan without looking back. There was nothing to do here, so Uncle Gao had to leave with some chagrin. But I couldn't stop wondering in my heart, where did I offend Miss?
As soon as Xu Qirong entered Fenghe Courtyard, he saw a woman with a big waist in front of him walking inside, Xu Qirong felt that the figure was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
Jade shouted, "Mother Chen, how is the fourth young lady?" Miss Five has come to see her! ”
The woman stopped, turned her head to see Xu Qirong, hurriedly came forward to salute, took Xu Qirong's hand and said, "Fifth Miss, you are back." Sister Jin has been sick for a few days, and when Miss Fifth comes back, Sister Jin is happy, maybe it will be fine! ”
Xu Qirong was shocked in her heart, isn't this Mother Chen the nurse in her previous life? How is it in my sister's yard?
Mother Chen pulled Xu Qirong and was about to go to the house, but Mother Liu suddenly said: "Mother Chen, the second lady is your grandmother, it is understandable that you are in a hurry." But Sister Rong is weak, so she was pulled into the second lady's room, how can she be sick if she is sick? ”
Xu Qirong was stunned, it turned out that she was her sister's nursing mother!
The smile on Chen's mother's face froze, and she unconsciously let go of Xu Qirong's hand. Xu Qirong said, "It's okay, I just came to see my sister." ”
Xu Qirong spoke, and Liu's mother didn't know what to say, so the group continued to walk to Xu Qijin's boudoir.
Xu Qijin had just finished acupuncture and sent away the second wife, she was lying in a daze at this time, and when she heard someone coming, she immediately woke up, and when she saw that Xu Qirong came to see her, her eyes lit up.
"Sister, don't come here, be careful of getting sick. Tell my sister about it, how are you doing in the past few months? Has anyone bullied you? What do you want to eat? Sister let the kitchen do it! ”
Xu Qijin is not much older than Xu Qirong, and he is only nine years old this year. can see that she cares about Xu Qirong's energy, and she is used to it. It can be seen that Xu Qijin has always taken good care of Xu Qirong.
At first glance, when he saw his sister who had forgotten her appearance, Xu Qirong's eyes were sour. She originally thought that in addition to her father, who wanted her to die, she was such a relative as her sister, no matter what kind of person Xu Qijin was, she would protect her. But she didn't expect that her sister cared about her so much.
As soon as his heart moved, Xu Qirong walked quickly to Xu Qijin's couch, regardless of the obstruction of the maids and sisters-in-law, and reached out and grabbed Xu Qijin's hand.
Xu Qijin was originally warm in the quilt, but when Xu Qirong held it like this, he endured it so that he didn't retract his hand from being cold.
Xu Qirong was excited, where did he notice this! I just thought that I wanted to say something to my sister, but I didn't know what to say for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "Sister, my second aunt gave us a lot of money." ”
