Chapter 263, I'm not fish

The old lady felt that today's things were going incredibly, but she didn't think more, although Mingjing was a concubine and grew up in wealth, although it was a blessing to have the current life, I don't know how much better than ordinary people, but the food and clothing were still not as good as the slaves who had the face of Xie Fu before, if it weren't for the daughter and son-in-law secretly funding, life would be even harder, and the Ming and Qing families were already angry.

Mingjing didn't complain about anything, but he certainly wasn't used to it. The old lady thought that he did not speak out against it today, because she was about to be unable to stand such a day, but she did not say anything about it on weekdays, thinking that he had just heard that he could live the same life as before, so she was not as strongly opposed to discussing his marriage as before.

She couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, she wanted to subdue him, only pinching him and his shortcomings, he was also an ordinary person, and he was once rich, how could he withstand the **** of a good life? What is Zhou Changsheng, the emperor has issued an edict to pardon the Xie family's capital crimes, and he will not be able to invite a good gentleman in the future? When this family affair was settled, he asked someone to find Mr., and when he found it, he immediately quit her.

The old lady withdrew all the lines of defense, and no longer doubted him, looking at Mingjing, she felt extremely pleasing to the eye, and said happily: "Of course, our Xie family's good son-in-law has become the Fu family, how can it be so easy?" That old man Fu is also generous, changed his surname to five thousand taels of silver, plus ten good fields, and ten big gifts, to put it aside, where do we still care about this bit of property, but now it is not the same as in the past, rest assured, this family business will never insult my son, in the future, your life will be the same as before in the Xie family, there are groups of slaves and maids, but don't forget your old lady and nephews and nieces."

Five thousand taels is really nothing for the previous Xie family, but for the current Xie family, it will make life much better. After the current difficulties, there is production in the field and garden this year, and the Pei family dares to boldly fund after a long time, their mother and son don't have to worry about eating and drinking spicy, who cares if he is clear and pure? Mingjing laughed angrily, nodded and said: "Very good, very good, the Fu family is indeed very generous, I really didn't expect that I could sell it for such a good price and be worth more than a famous ji."

The old lady was stunned when she heard his words be incoherent, and only then did she realize that she had just gotten carried away and said everything, no wonder he was disgusted, obviously for Mingjing's consideration, but the Xie family did benefit a lot. What's more, to say a word of conscience, what does that Miss Fu deserve to be clear? Spiegel is young and weak, and she is still **** when she is seven years older, if she has no talent, she is not good-looking, but she is an only daughter with a lot of money in the family.

I didn't know what to say for a while, and I remembered that Shu'er had nothing to say: "Don't you worry about Shu'er?" Don't worry, I'm her grandmother, even if you're not at home, I'll take good care of her, with a good conscience, she and your second brother's children are generally fed and clothed, your eldest sister brings some good things, I have never forgotten her, what else are you worried about"

After speaking, he looked at Mingjing eagerly, expecting him to understand his hard work and do it completely according to his own arrangement.

Mingjing saw that she couldn't wait to sell herself to the Fu family as soon as possible, but she was still full of kindness and love, and really wanted to unmask her and be sarcastic, but when she thought of Changsheng and Shu'er, she couldn't help it.

If he really fell out with the old lady, he and Changsheng would be completely out of play, not to mention that Changsheng never promised to marry him. It's just that the two are desperate to be together, the two have no matchmaker and no employment, she was a concubine for a lifetime, isn't she the opposite of love?

And Shu'er, if she falls out with herself, she has to leave, the old lady must be the first thing to do is to drive away Changsheng, and in order to coerce and force herself to accept the family affairs, she is definitely not allowed to take Shu'er away, as Shu'er's grandmother, she has absolute authority to control her, no one can do anything, what should I do then? Let the weak Shu'er bear the hatred of their mother and son for Mingche and herself?

Unless the three of them flee to other places and wander around, but the old lady is already wary, can they escape? Do you want to be a fugitive for the rest of your life? Even if she is kind enough to allow Shu'er to be blessed, the old friends and old friends are all avoiding the family, and no one dares to use him to do things after a few days, if the old lady tells the Pei family to suppress it secretly, he will not be able to find anything to do, with a little savings for a short time, it will be a problem to eat and live for a little longer.

After thinking about it, Mingjing smiled bitterly, does he have the qualifications to lose his temper? But not losing his temper doesn't mean that he will let the mermaid flesh, let's delay it for a few days, maybe he can think of some good way.

He tried his best to calm his expression, and said very sincerely: "To be honest, when my son first heard that he could live a rich and prosperous life in the past, he was really tempted, but after thinking about it, I felt that I was still too wronged That woman is so much older than me, and she is ****, she has no talent and no appearance, except for being rich and having nothing, will I feel good in the face of such a wife every day?" It's better to live than to die, but if I don't agree, I will have to live a hard life in this life, to be honest, if I didn't suffer in prison, how could I stand this kind of life? I am really fed up with the fact that the slaves who have not had the face of the Xie family before are well fed up and dressed, so my son is very contradictory and difficult to do, just like holding a hot potato, I can't eat it and am reluctant to throw it away, and my mother's hard work is in vain."

The old lady saw that he was sincere, and did not completely refuse, there was a lot of room for success, and she also made a very understanding appearance and said: "Since ancient times, men have admired Shaoai, and it is normal for you to think like this, but if you want a beautiful wife, you must be poor, if you want to be rich, you must be compromised, and you can't have both, it depends on how you choose." In fact, since ancient times, wealth has been hard to find, and beauties are easy to obtain, and there is no store in this village."

Mingche thought of Changsheng, and his heart was warm and bitter, but he didn't dare to mention it in front of the old lady, for fear that she would not allow Changsheng, so he pretended to be entangled and sighed again and again, as if beauty and wealth were reluctant.

The old lady thought that he was as rich and good as the men in the world, and she was reluctant to do that, so she smiled and said: "Don't worry, my son is not completely impossible, maybe you can have both fish and bear's paws."

That Miss Fu was married for a year before and failed to get pregnant, maybe she can't give birth, she won't give birth after you get married, you don't rush to pay the family, you will definitely have to give you a concubine, for the sake of the children, she will definitely choose a young and beautiful woman. It's just that Miss Fu can give birth, I'm always your mother-in-law, after a few years of marriage, under the pretext of caring for your son, it's normal to send a few concubines to help your daughter-in-law serve her son, and then I will choose a young, beautiful and gentle woman to make up for your regrets"

Mingjing felt that she was going crazy, she could say anything, how could there be a son-in-law who was allowed to take a concubine? If he is really rich, he is inferior to the woman who marries, how can the Fu family allow his family to interfere in household affairs? Even if Miss Fu really doesn't give birth, at most she borrows her womb to give birth to a child, how can she allow other women to compete for favor by the couch? At the thought of giving birth to a child in the womb, Mingjing felt like a male animal who was used to specialize in passing on the lineage, and he was about to vomit.

He held back his nausea, suppressed his anger with the last bit of reason, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Mother, don't think that all women in the world are as virtuous as you, not every woman has the mind to accommodate a concubine, how can Miss Fu use her own rice to raise a young and beautiful woman to compete with her for favor?" After paying the silver surname change, everything will be up to our Xie family, so my son doesn't dare to have such thoughts, if he gets into the past, he will definitely have to honestly guard Miss Fu to live alone, to be honest, I am very embarrassed. It's better to be like this, the marriage is in a hurry, can my mother let me think about it for a few more days? ”

The old lady spent a long time talking about this result, snorting lightly but helplessly, and thinking that Mingjing had always been extremely resistant to arranging family affairs for him at home, this time there was no refusal, just to think about it for a few days, it was already good, when he first said to him, he was afraid that he insisted on refusing and did not even give room for maneuver, this result should be said to be good, or don't force it too hard.

Then he eased his expression, looked at Mingjing very lovingly and said: "My son is old and weak, not as rash and reckless as in the past, you are right, marriage must not be sloppy, it is better to think about it clearly, I believe that you are a smart person, you will figure it out." The emperor's dictation is 'degraded to the common people, cultivating and reading heirlooms', there is no hope for the Xie family to re-enter the court, I think you and the Ming and Qing dynasties may not even have the qualifications to participate in the imperial examination, I just hope that it will not involve the generation of Jinwen and Jinshu, you have to think clearly, don't do foolish things, lest it be too late to regret it in the future"

Mingjing thanked him again and again and bowed and retired, turning the intersection to no one, his face was already extremely indignant. Afraid that Changsheng would be worried, he wanted to tell her what happened immediately, but he remembered that the old lady calmed down again, and now if he goes to Changsheng immediately, tomorrow the old lady asks if she has figured it out, if she doesn't agree to this family business, she will definitely have a grudge against Changsheng, it's better to have one less thing, Changsheng is a smart person, seeing that he goes back to the house directly, he will definitely understand what the reason is, and wait for the opportunity to explain it at night.

Changsheng didn't wait for Mingjing, he understood that he was afraid that the old lady would send someone to watch, this house was much smaller than the Xie family, and the population was much smaller, and the surrounding area was either a hillside or a countryside, and there was nowhere to go at all, and it was really easy to know who was where, so it was good to be careful, he was indeed a little moved by Mingjing, but he didn't dare to hold out any hope because of the identity barrier.

Although the Xie family has been demoted to the common people, how can the name and dignity of the century-old family disappear so easily? And the old lady must seek the greatest interests with a clear marriage, and she won't care if he wants to be happy or not, maybe after a while, she will be kicked out of the Xie family with a thorn in her eye, and what should Shu'er do then?

The day is coming, Changsheng looked around the small room she was used to, a bed, a tent, a table and a chair were just familiar but about to leave, waiting for her would be the next stranger who was completely unknown. She really feels that other people's homes are always other people's homes, and they will be displaced at any time, no wonder people in their previous lives are bankrupt and in debt to buy a house, the house can not only avoid themselves, but also give people a sense of security.

But there is no endless road, Changsheng believes that she will definitely think of a solution, she suddenly became optimistic, watching Jin Shu and the house kick shuttlecock outside, now there is still a while before dinner, so she simply began to pack her things. If you really want to leave, it will be troublesome to forget something in a hurry.

She also has nothing to bring, the most precious thing is Lin Xinyi's silk painting, she desperately rushed to grab it before raiding the house, even if it was not lost and defaced in the prison for a few months, it was still very properly rolled into a ball and hidden in the baggage, and Jinshu's little golden pig was Lin Xinyi's relic to her daughter, afraid that Shu'er would be lost or robbed, so she kept it for her, no one in the family knew that this thing was brought out, and the names of the sisters in their previous lives were engraved on it: Golden Pig and Golden Yuan, which is also extremely precious and cannot be lost.

There are also one hundred taels of silver tickets brought by the eldest brother Zhou Ansheng, which must be hidden very properly, in case she leaves the Xie family, she will have to rely on these hundred taels of silver to live in peace.

Then she wrapped the few taels of silver she earned at Xie's house in lotus, wrapped it in a change of clothes and wrapped it in a bag, and walked in with sweat towels, facial grease and other things that she used daily to bring the Dharma, so as not to cause panic after Shu'er found out.

The previous jewelry was lost as early as the house, only two of them were all after living in the house, Xie Mingzhu was sent, the old lady and Lin Xinhui each only had a few pieces of silver ornaments to decorate the façade, the girls each had a silver-covered copper hairpin and a few silk flowers, the old lady rewarded Changsheng with a silver hairpin, a silver-covered copper hairpin and two small sterling silver earrings, this is all her jewelry, and there is no need to put it away, just wear it like that, and then ask for a wooden hairpin with the mother of the house, and prepare a few ribbons, in case she leaves when the Xie family will receive her jewelry, Just return them all, put on a wooden hairpin and tie a ribbon, anyway, those few things are really not worth much, but they are real.

When the things were packed, Changsheng suddenly had a strong premonition, and she felt that she would leave the Xie family soon.

It's already dark, it's time to light the lamp for dinner, Changsheng is about to call the house to serve dinner, Mama Zhang in the old lady's room is here, she is a slave given to her mother by Xie Mingzhu, usually her eyes are on the top of her head, she is always sneakily chewing the root of her tongue, Changsheng has found her secretly spying on herself several times, so she doesn't like this Mama Zhang very much. She rolled her eyes, as if she had come to lower her status as a slave to a poor teacher, and said with a straight face: "The old lady has an order, saying that there is a great joy today, and a family banquet will be held in the evening to celebrate, and Miss Zhou will be invited to enjoy the light and invite the girl to bathe and change her clothes, and it will pass in half an hour."

Seeing her swaying and twisting her thin body like a bamboo pole and leaving, Changsheng threw herself on the quilt and laughed, and the old lady had an order, and also held a family banquet to celebrate, and also bathed and changed clothes, this is only a mountain villa that can accommodate herself, not the magnificent Xie Mansion, this is a family of ordinary people who only have food and clothing, not a famous family with fine clothes and food, it is really ridiculous, that is, she wants to bathe and change clothes to attend the dinner party, and the kitchen is also disgusted with boiling hot water and firewood, just want to change clothes, and only have a half-worn linen cloth skirt. Let this old minion do the music.
