Chapter 158: Superior
After the meal, Duan Ziyi was anxious to see how the dowry was prepared, and Xia Hanqiu went to Xia's house to greet the elders.
Xia Yusheng saw that there was no sadness in her expression, so he didn't say much, but it was rare to mention Zhang Jiabao.
"I didn't expect him to come back with you even ignoring Shouqi, the situation of the Zhang family is very bad?"
I don't want my grandfather to think that Jiabao is unfilial and unruly, Xia Hanqiu explained to him softly, "Zhang Zetian led the wolf into the house, Qi Zhensheng wanted to seize the Zhang family, and on the way we went, he ambushed people and wanted Jiabao's life, and on the day of the funeral, he staged a bitter plan on the grave, I don't worry about Jiabao staying in Wuyang, and it is even more impossible for me to stay in the Zhang family, so I can only take him with me. ”
Xia Yusheng was laughed by the appearance of his granddaughter protecting the calf, he didn't like the Zhang family, but he didn't distinguish between right and wrong, Zhang Jiabao just shouldn't have a pair of parents like that, but his nature was good, if he didn't want to see him, he would have less time in the future.
"Since I am by your side, you must do your duty as the eldest sister, teach him well, and don't be difficult to explain to the Zhang family when the time comes."
"Yes, grandfather, I will, Jiabao himself is also angry, it's not bad."
"Okay, okay, Qiu'er came to us early in the morning to ask for Anke, not to listen to you." Mrs. Xia interjected at this time, "A thousand mistakes are also the fault of adults, what's the matter with a child, Qiu'er, don't pay attention to your grandfather, he is used to training people, we all know that you can do it, and it won't be wrong for the Zhang family kid to follow you." ”
There were other Xia family members in the house, and they all laughed when they heard this. Xia Chun's voice was not small, "Brother Jiabao is good, not bad at all." ”
"Oh, even if we say that, it must be bad." The old lady answered with a smile, and gently opened the page, talking about the appointment on October 12.
"A few days ago, I saw a lot of people coming from your side, and the large and small carriages were about to be full, and I think my grandson-in-law is almost ready, the eldest daughter-in-law. We're going to start preparing for that too. Second daughter-in-law, you know the rules of the nobles better than us, take a hand on the side, don't let people laugh at our Xia family for having no rules. ”
"Yes."
Both responded. Fu Yingying winked at Qiu who was looking at her. Tell her with your eyes. I'll take care of my little aunt.
Xia Hanqiu didn't show a shy look as she expected, glanced at her, and said her plan. "Although I have broken off the relationship with the Zhang family, but the blood relationship is still there after all, and it is already a break of the rules to do happy events during the filial piety period, I mean I will not be extravagant, and I will say that it is okay there, and he will not have an opinion."
After a pause, Xia Hanqiu said again: "I don't care about other people's perceptions, but I need to take care of Jiabao's mood." ”
"That's it." The old lady nodded and looked at the old man, "What do you see?" ”
"As long as ...... In other words, there is no opinion there, and we naturally agree. ”
After another conversation, the room dispersed.
As soon as Xia Chun went out, he grabbed his cousin's arm and didn't let go, Ke Shi glared at her a few times, and Zuihou had to go with her.
Selfishly, she also hopes that her daughter will be closer to this capable niece.
With a small tail, Xia Hanqiu followed his brother-in-law and aunt-in-law out of the main house.
Xia Jing was worried that her niece's safety was all shown to them, and as soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to ask her about the trip.
Xia Hanqiu also explained in detail, of course, except for her and those small actions.
"My Qiu'er has really become different." Xia Jing couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, four years ago, she could only leave in that way, but now when she met those people who made her suffer at that time, she was already invincible, and even looked down on them, a few people in the world could do like Qiu'er.
"If I am still as weak and deceitful as before, how many people will hate me." Xia Hanqiu smiled and turned to look at Fu Yingying, "Are you eating with your grandfather and grandmother now or are you eating separately?" ”
"Everyone eats their own, my mother said that it saves trouble, but sooner or later I will go over to say goodbye, and if there is something, I will be over there." Taught by her mother since she was a child, and she grew up in such a big family, Fu Yingying has long cultivated into a human spirit, so naturally she will not fall on it.
These days, the master and servant of the Xia family have praised her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well, even the concubines are also harmonious.
"Then do you want to go over with my uncle to have dinner over there, anyway, it's close, and there are many people."
Fu Yingying smiled, "I want to, but I don't stay at home, what's going on with you every day, you don't like it, my mother-in-law has to talk about me, just like you said, anyway, it's close, and I will move around more in the future, don't see you for ten days and a half like before." ”
"If I go to the door of the city lord's mansion every day, I will already be targeted, how can I live a quiet life." Xia Hanqiu defended herself, knowing that Yingying was reasonable, and she no longer insisted on it.
"What charter do you have for hiring?"
Seeing that she was puzzled, Fu Yingying said again: "You don't have an elder, although your grandparents and uncles are close relatives, they will be dedicated to you, but after all, it is a layer apart, if you have any ideas and plans, just say it in advance, presumably everyone will follow you." ”
"My opinion has already been said, and the rest is up to my grandparents and aunts." Xia Hanqiu knew that Yingying was for her own good, but she really didn't care so much about this matter, and she also believed that she would not treat her lightly, since this was the case, why did she have to do anything superfluous.
The husband and wife glanced at each other, and then they didn't say anything, after all, they wouldn't let Qiu'er suffer.
sent the little tail back from Xia's house, Xia Hanqiu just wanted to go to the master's place, but saw that Nian'er, who was supposed to go to the school, was still at home, looking at left and right with a restless look, and obviously avoided her when she saw her.
This is...... In a weak heart?
Approaching him, Xia Hanqiu asked, "What did you do badly?" ”
Guo Nianan shrunk his neck and opened his mouth to speak, but when he thought that his sister would be disappointed in him, his open mouth immediately closed again.
"Don't want to say it, or don't you dare to say it? Where did the courage to dare to come to the pavilion alone from Wuyang City? Xia Hanqiu sat down on the couch and motioned for Nian'er to sit opposite him.
It's a sitting posture for serious conversation.
Guo Nianan didn't dare to say anything.
Xia Hanqiu thought about it and knew that Nian'er probably didn't want to go to the school but didn't dare to speak, because he had said before that he didn't want to go.
The reason why his heart is weak is that he didn't go these days when she was away!
However, she won't say it, and she must let Nian'er say it herself.
Quietly waited for a cup of tea, and just when Xia Hanqiu was about to get up and leave, Guo Nian'an, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, gritted his teeth and said the mistake he made, "Sister, I haven't been to school for four days." ”
"Weishenme not going?"
I thought that my sister would be unhappy and show a disappointed look at him, but my sister didn't even change her expression, she just asked him lightly.
Guo Nianan became even more worried.
However, what should be said is not ambiguous at all, "The master of the school that my little aunt helped find is good, they are all very knowledgeable people, but few of the noble children there are serious learners, they go to the academy just to cover them to go out to have fun, the master never cares about this, I didn't think it's bad before, if you want to play, you can learn what you want to learn, but ......"
Biting his lip, Guo Nian'an's voice lowered slightly, "But recently, I have found more and more that what the master taught and what Mr. taught me have a lot of conflicts, I think that Mr. is right, and with this cognition in my heart, I feel that what the master says is not so right, and besides, every afternoon I will go to the Taoist with Bai Yu to study, the Taoist teaches are very practical, much more useful than those things in the books taught by the master, instead of going to the school to waste time, it is better to listen to the master and the Taoist at home, sister, you will allow me." ”
The master himself learns the things in the books, and the only ones he can teach are naturally those, and the other masters are not those who grew up, and what they can teach are the essence of their years of experience.
I can't complain that Nian'er can't look down on those taught by the master.
"I let you go to the academy, more to let you know more people, to form a network, thinking that in the future, no matter whether you want to take revenge or what you want to do, it will be of great benefit to you, but now, you don't need it, since you don't want to go, don't go."
"Sister......" Guo Nianan was overjoyed, raised his head suddenly, and the trembling look on his face was no longer seen.
"I'm glad to be like this." After a few cases, Xia Hanqiu gave him a flick of his fingers, the force was not light, and his forehead was slightly red, "You have to be more serious about learning at home." ”
"Yes, sister, don't worry, I won't let you down."
got one, Xia Hanqiu thought of another younger brother, "Where's Jiabao?" ”
"In the house, I looked for him, and he said that tomorrow would be his father's first seventh, and he wanted to write a letter to his father to burn him, so I didn't bother him."
"Pull him out while you're eating." Xia Hanqiu got up, "What should I do, go ahead, my sister has something." ”
Wuwei smiled when he saw her, "Nian'an turned himself in?" ”
"Well, I've really grown up, and I can't look down on what the master taught." Xia Hanqiu curtsied, sat down under the master's instructions, and continued: "Master, when the flood breaks out, I want a few small people in the family to go to the city lord to run, no matter how much they teach verbally, where can they be shocked by what they see with their own eyes." ”
"Feasible." Wu Wei nodded, "Have you had any prophecies recently?" ”
"No, there is a feeling that a storm is coming." Brushing his sideburns and hair, Xia Hanqiu didn't want to prophecy so much, and the only few times he did, none of them was a good thing.
And she was uncomfortable every time, which made her a little resistant.
Wuwei naturally saw it, and he didn't talk about it anymore, but compared her homework.
He taught a lot, she learned a lot, and I don't know if this little apprentice is talented or what, and he learns everything very well, and with a disciple like this, the day of his liberation is just around the corner. (To be continued......)
