Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 360, I can't get rid of it
Chapter 360, can't get rid of
After eating, Changsheng wanted to present the return gift carefully prepared by his mother to the masters of the Xie family, but after a little thought, he held back.
These return gifts are all carefully prepared by the mother, there are a lot of embroideries that poor Yusheng stayed up all night to rush out, and some are carefully purchased by her and Mingjing in Jinyang City, but no matter how hard you work, you can't get into the eyes of rich and noble people, especially the eyes of Ming and Qing couples.
The old lady doesn't say anything, she never does anything wrong with the superficial courtesy, and she also understands that the Zhou family is a farmer, maybe she will be surprised to see the painstaking return gifts, for a farmer, these return gifts are really not thin.
But with Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui's people, she will definitely not let go of this opportunity to ridicule herself and her mother's family, these intentions are prepared by her mother with great effort, she is afraid that she will not be able to raise her head in her mother-in-law's house if she does not do well, why should she be used by Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui to insult? Simply let the whole house be sent one by one tomorrow, and the love behind them will be whatever they want, out of sight and out of mind.
So everyone gathered around the old lady to drink tea and have fun, while discussing how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, Changsheng was very suspicious that there was a deep meaning in the expressions of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so he told the old lady about the customs of his hometown, while looking at Lin Xinhui quietly.
It's only been a few months since she returned to Xie's house, maybe Ming Qing has figured it out and treated her well, maybe there is an old lady to rely on, Lin Xinhui's expression is no longer the last time she made trouble in the county lord's mansion, she was helpless and arrogant, but quite complacent and arrogant, full of superiority in front of Changsheng, as if she wanted to redeem the face she lost in front of Changsheng last time.
Changsheng thought that he would have to face these two people every day for a long time, and he was very depressed, but fortunately, the old lady knew that Mingche and Mingjing had a deep brotherhood, and although Mingqing was a serious son-in-law, the future was all tied to Mingche, for the sake of the overall situation, she had a lot of care, love and care as an elder on the surface, and noticed that Mingqing and Lin Xinhui's faces were disrespectful, and there were warnings in her words several times.
But Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui didn't care at all, and after a while, Lin Xinhui stepped forward and said with a warm expression: "Old lady, let's not just pull the third brother and the third brother and sister to talk, someone can miss it tightly, and let the family meet the master, and then go back together to talk about the old days, and now Shu'er has not come back, and there is no need to wait in the house, and it is not convenient for her to be on duty at night, so it is better to use the old people, right?" ”
Changsheng and Mingjing didn't understand what she was saying, and looked at the old lady in confusion, and the old lady glanced at Changsheng in embarrassment: "Actually, I should have let her serve you just now, but I was afraid that your newlywed marriage was hot, and you just came back and saw that she was not happy, so you didn't let her come out first, but who is not like this?" What's more, it's still the trouble before, since I came to the door, I can't drive people away, so who has become? ”
Changsheng probably understood, as if to explain that Jing had some trouble before, and it seemed that he was still a woman, but his previous two intercourse, one committed suicide before raiding the house, and the other Douhuang took the deed of sale and silver to find his brother and sister-in-law, could it be that there was anything else in Mingjing? Suddenly, my heart sank, and I looked at Mingjing suspiciously, which showed that Mingjing was also in a fog, and I was a little puzzled.
was about to ask, seeing Lin Xinhui's face full of pride, she simply calmed down and listened to what was going on. The old lady said to her again: "I know you have a high heart, don't worry, she is just a girl, let her serve you well in the future, and give you night duty every night, multiple people take care of Mingjing for you, it is not a bad thing, the woman's family is pregnant and has a child, there is always an inconvenient time, our family now has few slaves, it is inevitable that there is a lack of people to serve, she can still comb your hair and fold the quilt or something, but a family is just a slave, rest assured"
Changsheng couldn't help but speak: "But old lady, who are you talking about?" ”
Lin Xinhui sneered: "Since the younger brother and sister want to pretend not to know, then let her come up and kowtow to the master's mother, too, pity this girl, the Xie family was copied and left out, and finally came to the door, and I have to worry about whether the master will let her fill the garden and call someone in, and the old lady pointed it out to the third room, and it is not like some people who are unsightly and privately teach, why don't you dare to come forward?" ”
Changsheng ignored her cynicism, and saw that Mingjing signaled her peace of mind with his eyes, and hurriedly returned the half-truth with a sweet smile, Lin Xinhui remembered Ming Qing's indifference to herself after seeing it, and then looked at Ming Qing's pretending to stare at Changsheng secretly from time to time, and was suddenly full of jealousy.
Man Yuan went down in response, and soon came up, Changsheng and Mingjing were suddenly taken aback, and behind her, Huo Ran followed Douhuang, she was wearing a water-red dress, crossed her head, and wore a water-red silk flower, dressed as a concubine.
Mingjing blurted out in anger and said, "Why are you here?" Didn't you go to your brother and sister-in-law? What exactly do you want to do when you come back? Hurry up and leave Xie's house early tomorrow morning, don't come back in the future, I don't want to see you again"
Ming Qinghe looked like he was watching a good show, and Lin Xinhui was a look of fighting for Douhuang, and the old lady said angrily: "Bastard Xie Jiajing is such a big thing, the minions are scattered and running, where do you go to find such a loyal girl as Douhuang, she has already told me the whereabouts of her and your aunt after the raid." I really didn't expect it, you grew up and your wings were stiff, and you had the ability to hide it from us for so long, and you couldn't see that it was a filial son, and it was such a big thing to copy the family, we almost died once, and your aunt actually enjoyed happiness there, don't forget, honoring my mother-in-law is your true duty."
As soon as Changsheng mentioned the word filial piety, he quickly pulled Mingjing, Mingjing understood what she meant, if someone picked a thorn in the word filial piety, the future of his life would be over, and he could only live by others in the future, what could he do to let Changsheng and his aunt live a good life? If you lose a lot, you can't draw it.
The old lady was still angry: "Aren't you just afraid that I will force your aunt back?" Don't worry, although it is a woman's duty to keep festivals for her husband, she is just a concubine, there is no need to stay in the Xie family, I will not force her to come back to observe the festival, as long as she is not afraid that people will look down on you because of this."
Mingjing swallowed his breath and stepped forward and said: "Mother is too careful, Mingjing also went to prison after raiding the house, and I don't know the whereabouts of my aunt, and later after I was released from prison, Jiang Gongzi was worried that it would bring trouble after being known, and he never told me, and then he told me secretly, but my aunt and Douhuang have sold themselves to the Jiang family as slaves, and I am ashamed to let people know that my biological mother is a slave, so I have not told anyone." This time, Jiang Gongzi drove her away because of Douhuang's disobedience, although he treated his aunt well, but his aunt's identity is still a slave of the Jiang family, and she can't go back to the Xie family even if she wants to."
The old lady also understood, Jiang Gongzi and Mingjing are friends, he can redeem Aunt Tai and Douhuang in the limelight, and now he is willing to let Douhuang go, what is the use of Aunt Tai as a half-old slave worthy of him? It's just a means to not want her to go back to Xie's house, maybe it's better to discuss it with Mingjing.
However, as Mingjing said, if Jiang Gongzi insists on not allowing his aunt to redeem herself, no one can force her to return to the Xie family, which is cheaper for her, not only did she not suffer from the house, but now she is free to break away from her control and enjoy happiness outside, but there is nothing she can do for the time being, let it go first, it is not a big deal.
Her face softened, and she sighed and said, "I know that your aunt is the most well-behaved person, and there must be a last resort for her not to come back." I've been with her for most of my life, although I am a master and servant and a sister, and now the old people around me are almost scattered, and I want to say a word about the old and no one to accompany me, how good would it be if she was a companion for our old sisters? But there is no way now, Jiang Gongzi is kind to you, and you can't force it if you don't let it go, let's talk about it later. ”
Mingjing breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she understand why Jiang Yiwen did not return the deed of sale to her although she regarded her aunt as her mother, only in terms of identity she was still the domestic slave of the Jiang family, so that the old lady could be helpless, if the aunt was free, the old lady would do everything possible to force her to return to the Xie family in the name of observance, so as to control herself.
The old lady let out a little vicious, and then looked at the trembling Douhuang and said: "Douhuang is your girl since childhood, and I pointed it out to you, and I also served your aunt and your merits, you are too ruthless and unintentional to chase her like this, but this girl is infatuated with you, and she will never lose her temperance to marry her, she would rather let go of her free body, and come back to continue to serve you, even if the ruthless master is reluctant to be such a loyal girl, right?" The two of you can't tolerate people, you newlyweds will not carry her identity first, and then raise her as a concubine after you have been married for a year, Changsheng's face will also look better, take it back tonight, there is no extra place to live at home, let her give you the night at night, and the family will live a good life in the future, and spread out as soon as possible."
Mingjing took a step forward and said anxiously: "I don't want this girl from the old lady" Changsheng pulled him, the matter has come to this, and it is impossible to get rid of Douhuang now, even if she has a false name or even a slave, she has to follow Mingjing, and the old lady supports her, it is useless to say anything, it is better to take a hot potato first and then plan slowly.
The old lady ignored her, only looked at Douhuang and said: "Since you are back, you must act according to the rules of the Xie family, go and kowtow to your two masters, do your duty in the future, serve the two masters well, and go back with them tonight, if you have any disrespectful or non-partly thoughts, and don't say anything about others, I will be the first to spare you."
Then he waved his hand at Mingjing and Changsheng: "Take Douhuang down, rest early after a day's journey, I'm also sleepy, you all go down." ”
Douhuang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and then stepped forward to kowtow to Mingjing and Changsheng, Yifu was very scared and aggrieved and didn't dare to look up at Changsheng and Mingjing, Mingjing was even more angry when he saw this, and glared at her coldly, and Mingqing and Lin Xinhui watched the show, and the old lady said that they would go back, but they were still reluctant to go.
Changsheng had calmed down, and said lightly: "Get up, it's rare that you are so loyal, just remember the old lady's words, I won't embarrass you, go and take the salute and go back with us, I'm afraid it's already been cleaned up, right?" ”
Douhuang saw that Changsheng had pierced her, his face suddenly turned red, and when he saw that Mingjing's face was full of boredom, he quickly lowered his head and quickly took the salute out, and followed Changsheng and Mingjing away.
