Chapter 114: Moving Out (Pink 660+)
Xiao Shiji said to Xiao Ruisheng, who was standing with his waist bowed, "There is Second Uncle Lao today, and I will come to the door another day to say hello." ”
Xiao Ruisheng hurriedly smiled: "How dare you." The eldest nephew is too polite. Seeing Xiao Shihe and a send-off look, Xiao Ruisheng also said goodbye with interest, and the matchmaker gave Xiao Shiji a look, and also followed Xiao Ruisheng out of the house.
Xiao Yi led them out of the road in front.
Along the way, the matchmaker saw that there were no other Xiao family descendants around, only Xiao Yi, a henchman, so she whispered to Xiao Ruisheng and said, "Congratulations to Second Master Xiao!" Congratulations to the second master! In another three years, Second Master Xiao will be rich. ”
Xiao Ruisheng smiled bitterly: "Eldest sister, don't make fun of me." What does my eldest nephew do, you probably don't know what to do, right? ”
The matchmaker laughed in her heart: If I don't know the way, can he come to me to do this?
However, the matchmaker is most concerned about whether Xiao Ruisheng will really marry Long Xiangye as a second room in three years.
Xiao Ruisheng must have no hope for the life in three years, and said listlessly: "I listen to my eldest nephew." He told me to go east, and I didn't dare to go west. Don't say that he only asked me to marry his mother, even if he asked me to call his mother Mom, I would call him. "What is seniority? A penny forced the hero to death, and he couldn't open the pot at home, so he had been borrowing money to live.
There are too many concubines in the family, and since it is possible to marry an ancestor back in three years, he has to deal with a few concubines in the family. You don't have to sell them all, sell a few who are old and haven't had children. This will not only exchange some silver, but also free up some space......
Xiao Ruisheng thought all the way and followed Xiao Yi to the outer courtyard.
Xiao Yi ordered someone to come over with a plate of silver. smiled and said, "This is a little bit of our uncle's heart." Our uncle said that the second master must take care of his body and must live until three years later. ”
Although Xiao Yi was laughing, in Xiao Ruisheng's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.
“…… Hehe...... Hehe...... Certain...... Must be ......" Xiao Ruisheng took the silver, took a big bag, and walked out of the door of the Xiao family in his arms.
Leaving from Xiao's house, Xiao Ruisheng boarded his ox cart and said proudly to the little man who drove the car: "When I go back to my lord, I will use a carriage instead." Xiao Shiji came to him to talk about it and gave him five hundred taels of silver. Xiao Ruisheng's family has a large population. High overhead. I couldn't afford to raise horses for a long time, so I could only ride in an ox cart.
Seeing off Xiao Ruisheng and the matchmaker here, Long Xiangye commanded the maid to pack up her things and prepare to move, but Du Hengshuang was embarrassed. I want to say two words. I don't know how to talk about it.
Xiao Shiji pursed his lips. took Du Hengshuang's hand and went back to the courtyard where they lived.
Seeing a few large and small burdens piled up on the bed of the Arhat in the inner room, Xiao Shiji turned around and asked, "Do you know that we have to move the yard?" So deliberately pack the package early and wait? ”
Du Hengshuang snorted, took down the curtain on his head, and looked in the mirror in front of the dressing table.
The redness and swelling on the left cheek have basically subsided, and there is no stinging, but it is still a little stiff.
Xiao Shiji walked behind her, grabbed her thin shoulders with both hands, and looked at her in the mirror.
"You tell me the truth, what are you doing packing your things?" Xiao Shiji did not let her go, and she was not allowed to perfunctory.
Du Hengshuang smiled at the figure in the mirror and said in a low voice, "What else can I do?" - Of course, I packed up my bags and went back to my parents' house. ”
Xiao Shiji's hands tightened, and Du Hengshuang's shoulders hurt a little.
Displeased, he slapped his hand away, and said angrily, "What are you doing with such force?" Haven't I been beaten enough by you? ”
Xiao Shiji felt distressed again, bent down from behind Du Hengshuang, leaned in front of her, and looked at her left cheek carefully.
The plaster was pasted with all the elements, and only a black plaster mark could be seen outside.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. It's just a little itchy. After speaking, Du Hengshuang quipped: "You can't see that Susu's plaster is easy to use, just let people slap me in the face." ”
Even when street gangsters fight, they try to hit people without slapping their faces. Du Hengshuang was slapped in the face by Long Xiangye in public, and the physical injury was secondary, and it was more about the hurt face and self-esteem.
Xiao Shiji lowered his head, not knowing how to comfort her. He is not a sweet-mouthed man, but he has done a lot of things silently to solve the problems between them.
Du Hengshuang also looked at Xiao Shihe and felt that he was still a man who could be entrusted for life.
"You went out last night and did it?" Du Hengshuang asked.
Xiao Shiji nodded, sat down on the brocade beside her, stretched out his two arms, hugged Du Hengshuang's slender waist, and let her lie in his arms.
Holding the warm nephrite body, Xiao Shiji took a deep breath, and his nose was full of the rose fragrance of Du Hengshuang's hair.
"I know you're scaring your mother-in-law." Du Hengshuang sighed, smiled and said, "Actually, the marriage certificate doesn't have to be signed at all." If it weren't for Long Xiangye getting carried away and slapping her in front of Xiao Shiji, Xiao Shiji might not have made up his mind to warn Long Xiangye. After all, it is his own mother, if one is not good, Xiao Shiji will become an unfilial son and a disobedient son that everyone shouts and beats, not to mention being an official, even if he is doing business, he will be pointed at and looked down upon.
Siu Shiji didn't want to talk about it anymore. In his opinion, the matter has been resolved, and there is no need to worry about the correctness of the means.
Du Hengshuang buried his head in Xiao Shiji's arms, thought for a long time, and said euphemistically: "You went out last night, you should tell me, so as not to wait." - I waited until the third watch last night to sleep, and I'm still sleepy today. ”
Xiao Shiji was as good as a stream, and immediately said: "It's that I didn't think it through, I should have told you earlier before I went out." It's just that at that time, the subordinates sent by my mother kept staring at me, and I didn't bother to entangle with them, so I simply left. ”
This is also true.
Du Hengshuang has really let go of his heart until now. She knew before that if her mother-in-law didn't like her, she and Xiao Shiji would not have a good time. Before getting married, Xu Yanhui found her a lot of civil files in Chang'an City to show her, which contained many records of separation and even abandonment because of her mother-in-law.
In the battle of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is simply in a position of powerlessness. I had to let my mother-in-law rub it.
Where does the authority of the mother-in-law come from? Not from her son yet.
As long as Xiao Shiji is on her side, Long Xiangye can't hurt her no matter how much she works.
She just believed that Xiao Shiji would not be indiscriminate, blindly letting her endure and retreat, so she insisted on marrying Xiao Shiji despite her mother's obstruction.
Now everything proves that her choice was not wrong.
Although they have only been married for three days, they seem to have lived a lifetime, and they are open to each other.
Zhihua and Ou Yangniang were waiting outside between the pins.
"Ou Yangniang, can't we go back?" Zhihua was a little worried.
The two men in the room were silent now.
Ou Yangniang twisted a needle in her hand and shaved her hair. With an apricot prismatic line. Embroidered a big red partridge's belly pocket for Du Hengshuang.
"I guess I don't need to, right? I didn't hear that the old lady was going to move the yard. Ou Yangniang said with a smile.
My uncle did a good job this time, and let the old lady move the yard in three or two clicks, which she thought would be very difficult before. After all, Xiao Shi and the reputation of "filial piety" are far and wide, and they may not be willing to do it for their own miss. Do things that damage your reputation as a "filial son".
"What does this have to do with filial piety?" I don't know how to draw. "Isn't it just moving a yard?"
Ou Yangniang glanced at her. "Of course it does. If the old lady is unwilling to move and shouts out, it will be his great unfilial piety. - I married my daughter-in-law and forgot my mother. I can't say anything. ”
"But...... Now that the old lady is willing to move, she won't say that she married her daughter-in-law and forgot her mother, right? Zhihua was taken aback. Moving a yard and all these twists and turns, these people can really be sloppy.
"That's exactly what I said. In the matter of moving the yard, if the old lady is unwilling, of course, it is the aunt's unfilial piety'. If the old lady is willing, it is 'unfilial' for you not to let her move." The great thing about my uncle is that he can make the old lady not complain, and naturally it will not damage his reputation. Ou Yangniang said, felt that her eyes were sour, put down the embroidery bandage, and called a little maid over, it was time to pass the lunch.
Xiao Shiji talked to Du Hengshuang in the house for a long time, and when he heard Ou Yangniang outside ordering the little maid to pass on lunch, he said apologetically: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's eat together? ”
Du Hengshuang nodded with a smile.
When Xiao Shiji went out, Du Hengshuang called Zhihua in and asked her, "I remember that my nine-chain box is a pair, where is the other one?" ”
Zhihua Jing was in charge of Du Hengshuang's clothes and jewelry, and remembered these bits and pieces most clearly, so he hurriedly searched for them and asked, "What is the young grandmother going to do?" ”
Du Hengshuang took out the nine-chain box containing the marriage book from his sleeve pocket, and placed the two boxes side by side on the low table of the Luohan bed.
After watching for a long time, Du Hengshuang packed the nine-chain box containing the marriage book of Long Xiangye and Xiao Ruisheng in a larger brocade box, locked it again, took the key himself, and ordered Zhihua to send the brocade box to Xiao Shiji's study in the outer courtyard and put it on the Bogu shelf in the inner room.
What was left on the low table was another nine-chain box, exactly the same as the previous one, except that there was no marriage certificate in it.
Du Hengshuang took this empty box to the east room that he used to use as a study and hid it.
Because Long Xiangye's marriage book was too important, she didn't dare to stay by her side, so she made a foolish way to take the real box to the outer courtyard for storage, and what she had here was an impostor.
After lunch, Du Hengshuang asked Ou Yangniang to help the maid in the command room pack up her things and prepare to move to the main courtyard.
Chen Yuejiao was so surprised when she heard in the courtyard of the second room that Long Xiangye had voluntarily moved to Xuanrong Hall in the back garden. ——How much Long Xiangye values this right to live in the main courtyard, Chen Yuejiao knows better than anyone else.
Xiao Taiji was also very anxious, and immediately rushed to the main courtyard, but saw that there were already many mothers-in-law carrying furniture outside.
"Mother, you live well, why did you move out?" Xiao Taiji asked puzzled.
Long Xiangye said with a smile: "People are old, and the picture is quiet." It's noisy here, but it's not as good as the back garden, and it's quiet. ”
Xiao Taiji asked for a long time, but he didn't ask why, and his heart became more and more panicked.
Chen Yuejiao saw Xiao Tai and the depressed return, thought about it, and took the initiative to come over to comfort him, "Second master, the coming day is long, the second master doesn't need to be discouraged." ”
Xiao Taiji shook his head, frowned, and said, "I'm worried, your cousin can't be a director now, what about this housekeeper's business?" "If you let your sister-in-law "take care of it", will you be able to get it back in the future?
