Chapter 48: The Xu Family

Chen Yuanheng frowned when he heard this: "It's not easy to reconcile." After all, they have been fathers for more than ten years, and it is even more difficult to get their daughters back and marry. Actually, it is normal for Heli to go away with a dowry, but this daughter is a concubine on the family tree, how can she give it away. ”

Bai said: "Sister Hu is so pitiful, let's help her." When I married you, it was very difficult to mix in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and it was Sister Hu Yuefang who blocked me several times, and today her cousin is in trouble, so we have to help. ”

Chen Yuanheng also said: "Yang Hanlin also helped me read the article at the beginning, this favor is to help, let me think about it." ”

Bai nodded hopefully.

Hu and Mingzhu returned to the Xu family. They didn't go directly to the main house, but to the small house where their mother and daughter lived. This small house was originally next to the wing room and was used by the next generation. Hu Shi and Mingzhu first took off their clothes and put on their old cloth clothes.

At this time in the past, there were already maids who came to collect the hairpin rings of clothes. But the Hu mother and daughter waited for a while and didn't see anyone coming, Mingzhu was a little strange, and asked, "Mother, why didn't anyone come to collect clothes and jewelry today?" ”

Hu Shi was also a little strange: "That's right, whatever, let's do some needlework first." ”

As he was talking, a maid came and said contemptuously: "Old woman, hurry up, the second lady and the master have called you two over." ”

Hu Shi saw that it was Aunt Sun's maid Lanxiang, and he didn't care about her, but Mingzhu couldn't help it: "Hmph, why do you call us, we have to go, we don't want to go." ”

Lan Xiang looked back at the third girl again, and she was also accustomed to it: "I know that you won't go obediently, but this time the master asked you to go, if you don't go, think about the consequences yourself." ”

After saying that, he twisted his waist and left. Mingzhu also wanted to talk about her, but she was pulled by the Hu family. Mingzhu had no choice but to turn around and pack up and prepare to do needlework for a while.

Lan Xiang returned to the upper room, Xu Zhijie and Aunt Sun were waiting, and when they saw Lan Xiang herself, Aunt Sun asked first: "Aren't Mrs. and the third girl coming?" ”

Lan Xiang received Aunt Sun's eyes and said: "Master, second lady, I went to ask Mrs. and the third girl to come over, and explained that the master called it, but the lady said a lot of unpleasant words, and I didn't dare to learn it, the third girl and the lady were unusual, arrogant, and said, if you want to ask them, you should ask the master to go by yourself." ”

Aunt Sun was very satisfied with Lan Xiang's answer. According to past experience, after saying such a thing, Xu Zhijie will lose his temper, curse, and then run to punish Hu, he should say something to protect Hu at this time, so that the old man's temper will be greater, and Hu's will suffer more. It seems that this orchid is still very eye-catching, although she likes to dress up a little for a while, and she wants to clean her up, but for the sake of her being so good, she can take a break.

Just thinking about it, Xu Zhijie spoke: "Oh, the relationship is that their mother and daughter are tired." Second lady, do you have a supper in the kitchen? Send them some. By the way, do they both live in small houses? You look at tidying up your home, vacating a few wings, and letting them move in. ”

These gentle words stunned Aunt Sun. Xu Zhijie didn't even look at Aunt Sun, and said directly: "It's still not appropriate to do this, it's better for you to pack up a few side rooms, move in by yourself, and vacate the upper room for Mrs. to live in." Then prepare a boudoir for Mingzhu. I forgot about it, Mingzhu has been older in the past few years, how can she still live with her mother, or get a boudoir for her in the wing next to Pearl and Baozhu. The three sisters live together and can often make out. ”

Aunt Sun was just taken aback just now, but this time she turned into anger, her face was flushed, and the blue tendons on her forehead exploded. She is also a girl from a good family, and her father is still a showman. When he was fifteen years old, he married Xu Zhijie, and he was alone in the outer room, and he always lived in the main house. Later, as soon as she entered the house, the lady was kicked out, and she lived in this main house, giving birth to children, taking care of housework, and going out to the banquet, and everyone else was holding and stuttering. The husband is also very favored, although there are a few intercourse, but the husband does not let them have children, let alone raise them as aunts. Now that she suddenly said this, she felt as if she had been slapped in the face.

Xu Zhijie saw that no one spoke for a long time, so he looked back. I just saw Aunt Sun's hideous appearance with red and blue muscles, and I couldn't help but be startled. My aunt has always been as smooth as water since she followed her, and she has never looked like this ghost. I can't help but be disgusted.

"Did you hear me speak, why are you so blushing and thick-necked, you are just an aunt, it's okay to be spoiled for so many years, don't be embarrassed."

Aunt Sun's tears came out all of a sudden: "Master, I've been with you for more than ten years, you've never treated me like this, what's wrong with me today?" ”

Xu Zhijie said strangely: "Don't you know, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai of the county magistrate have married Jinlan." The county magistrate also said that Mrs. Bai loves our pearl very much, and wants to recognize Mingzhu as a righteous daughter. Lord Chen is not only the county commander, but also my top boss, he is still from the Chen family, a great nobleman in Beijing, and his sister is now the emperor's concubine, Concubine De. The queen is the biggest in the emperor's **, followed by the concubine, and then the concubine. Think about how powerful that is. “

Aunt Sun immediately understood, it seems that the Hu family has really climbed the high branch this time. She has been married to Xu Zhijie for so many years, and she knows Xu Zhijie's temper clearly, and she must not touch it hard at this time. Thinking of this, Aunt Sun immediately wiped her tears, regained her delicate appearance and said, "Master, it's the concubine who wants to be bad, so I'll go and prepare it for my sister." Put my upper rooms together, ask my sister to live in, and go to make room for the empty main room next to the jewel for Mingzhu. After all, she's a concubine. “

Xu Zhijie nodded with satisfaction. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "I guess that Mrs. Bai will often chat with Mrs. and drink tea in the future, so you called the tailor who often comes to our house to add a few more sets of clothes to Mrs. and Mingzhu." By the way, no, just take your wife and buy it. Mrs. Bai drove Cuijin Building, and Mrs. Bai was wearing Cuijin Building's clothes, and Mrs. Bai was even happier. “

Aunt Sun hated blood in her heart, but her face didn't show it at all, and she agreed with a smile.

Xu Zhijie said again: "Well, I have to give some jewelry." You go to the treasury and get some gold and some jewelry for your wife. “

Aunt Sun is dying of anger, this is really a step to the sky. After thinking about it for a while, he said as a difficult look: "Master, our family's income in the past two years is not good, and it is barely possible to make clothes, but it is a little difficult to make jewelry." “

Xu Zhijie said: "Yes, I didn't dare to take on the lawsuit in the past two years. It's all because I offended the prefect, hey, the past two years have been too difficult, and I have been given a bad evaluation every time I am evaluated, and in the long run, let alone promoted, even my current position may not be kept. Therefore, this time we must find a way to tie up with Lord Chen. ”

After taking a look at Aunt Sun, who was inserting gold and silver, she had an idea: "I have a way, I don't have to spend money on jewelry." You pick up your jewelry and take it out to Madame. There are also jewels called pearls and pearls, which are called pearl selection. Anyway, you can't go to big occasions, what jewelry do you wear at home? ”

This time, Aunt Sun's face turned white. I couldn't help it anymore: "Master, this is my jewelry, how can I give it to Madame." ”

Xu Zhijie immediately turned his face: "What is yours, you came to my house naked, and your talented father asked me for a hundred taels of silver." One hundred taels, I can buy several of the stunning girls. I was expecting you to come and give me a few more sons, but I gave birth to one, and the rest were money-losing goods. Which one of the food, wear, and wear you now didn't I give you, do you have your own? Did you come with a dowry? Madame has a dowry. Mrs. was full of sixty-four dowries. At the beginning, those classmates were very envious. It is said that I will have money from now on, and my future will not be worried. It's because of you, it's not good to stay at home as a sister-in-law, deliberately dangling in front of me, hooking up with me, I'm too, why did I get hooked on you, it's not that you said, the fortune teller said that you are a good man, phew, it's really shameless to think about it. ”

Aunt Sun almost vomited blood when she said a few words, and she inadvertently saw where her maid Lanxiang was pouting, with a sarcastic ridicule on her face, and she was even more angry.

Who knew that Xu Zhijie seemed to remember something, and said: "Speaking of marriage, I see that the jewel on your head now seems to be your wife's marriage." By the way, so is this gemstone collar. And this ice jade jade bracelet too. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Aunt Sun's jewelry. Aunt Sun was so frightened that she hid back, Xu Zhijie suddenly fell into the air, was furious, and raised his hand to slap down: "Hmph, what are you hiding, this idea is not yours yet, you can't bear it." This family is my home, don't make a mistake, it's just an aunt who provoked me and sold it immediately. I don't even need a letter of resignation. ”

Aunt Sun was just angry, but now she became frightened, and immediately cried: "I'm all right, aren't you okay?" , I packed up the room for my wife to live in, bought clothes for my wife, and gave all my jewelry to my wife, is it still not possible? Master, I've been with you for more than ten years, is it easy for me to work hard to run this family? The master said that he would sell it, where is there still a little affection? ”

In the past, as long as Aunt Sun mentioned the hard work of the housekeeper and the hard work of giving birth to children, Xu Zhijie would persuade her gently, today, Xu Zhijie just snorted coldly when he heard this: "You still dare to show merit, if you didn't covet the three thousand taels of silver given by others two years ago, and instigated me to send that scholar to prison, can you offend the prefect, can I be in such a difficult situation now?" ”

Aunt Sun was hiding her face and crying, but now she grew up and couldn't speak.
