The house was no longer able to support those slaves, so Xu Mingda could only dismiss them one by one. Even the Xu family's big mansion was sold by Xu Mingda and replaced with a small courtyard, and the family lived together tightly.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Although Mrs. Xu used to be just an illiterate village woman, but since her son entered the official career, she has always regarded herself as a noble lady, although she is tightly controlled by money, she is also a person who likes pleasure. was beaten back to its original form all of a sudden, and the psychological gap was too big, but it was not completely unacceptable.

As for the rest of the Xu family, they have always been used to spending money lavishly, not to mention that they have to live so tightly all of a sudden, even their jewelry was sold by Xu Mingda, how can they stand it. At first, I believed that Xu Mingda could really turn over, but seeing that the family's money was about to run out, he didn't improve at all, so he watched Mrs. Xu cry every day.

After crying for a while, Xu Mingda took all their money away, saying that it was to dredge up the relationship, but in fact, it was all sent to the casino, but now it was all lost, and the people in the casino asked for accounts and came to the door, which made them live in the future. After a while, he came up with the idea of letting Xu Mingda go to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion to trust the relationship, which was his in-law family, how could he watch them fall into despair.

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and didn't make a sound, if they made trouble again, they would scold people back.

Aunt Qing sat silently on the side, and couldn't help but sneer when she heard this. Last time, she wanted to find a place in front of Xu Jiayi, but who knew that people didn't take her seriously at all, and after taking the dowry left by Wang Wanwan, she patted her ass and didn't come back.

The Xu family didn't raise other little girls, so why should they ask other little girls to intercede for them. What's more, you only need to inquire about this matter to know that it has nothing to do with the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and you also go to find someone to help, and it's good that you haven't been beaten out directly.

Aunt Qing hung her head, hid the calculation in her eyes, and only said in her heart that it seemed that Xu Mingda had no chance to flip, and the Xu family naturally couldn't stay any longer.

On this day, after Xu Mingda came out of the casino and returned to the house, he shouted loudly for Aunt Qing to serve her, but no one came out after calling for a long time. Mrs. Xu heard her son's scolding voice, washed her hands from the kitchen, twisted her eyebrows and walked into Aunt Qing's house, chattering in her mouth, "Didn't you hear Mingda calling you?" Nesting in the house every day and doing nothing, I really think I'm the eldest lady......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw the ransacked house, and Mrs. Xu only felt that it was dark in front of her and almost fainted. The next second, he reached out and slapped his thigh, and scolded loudly, "This slut! ”

Aunt Qing's sudden disappearance also took away Xu Mingda's only son, Xu Rui, which was something that everyone in the Xu family did not expect. Seeing that there was a letter on the table, Xu Mingda opened it and took a look and found that it was left by Aunt Qing. There were only a few short lines on the letter, so that the people of the Xu family did not have to look for her, and also told Xu Mingda that Xu Rui was not his biological son, and she would take Xu Rui to find his biological father.

Mrs. Xu was illiterate and didn't know what Aunt Qing had written, she could only look at Xu Mingda's face for a while and then white, and after reading the letter, she cried and laughed and said some nonsense, and she was a little shocked in her heart, for fear that Xu Mingda would be so crazy, so she hurriedly pulled his arm, "Mingda, what's wrong with you?" Don't you scare your mother?! ”

Originally, the other aunts who were still expecting to follow Xu Mingda secretly paid attention to the situation here at the door, and when they saw this scene, they exchanged glances with each other, but they all went back to the house and packed up the gold and silver that they had secretly hidden, and took advantage of this moment Xu Mingda They didn't have the heart to pay attention to them, so they ran away directly.

In just half a month, Xu Mingda directly felt the feeling of falling from the clouds to hell. The official position is gone, the house is gone, the money is gone, and even the only son who has been hurting since childhood is not his own!

Xu Mingda, who couldn't stand the blow, collapsed directly and said something inexplicable all day long. Mrs. Xu still has a glimmer of hope, but from the doctor, Xu Mingda is now insane, and he needs to be taken care of, and it may be possible to recover. Of course, if you put it more bluntly, you are already stupid and hopeless.

There is only one old lady Xu in the Xu family who is still willing to be by his side, and the little savings he left behind have all been spent, so he can only do some pulp washing work for others to earn some money, and he will be able to make a living.

Of course, that's another story.

It was only two days after the arrival of this holy decree, and after Wang Hongsheng and others returned from dispersal, they returned to Wan'an Hall to ask for peace. As soon as I entered the house, I saw the Zhao family and the Qian family in the house, as well as the eldest daughter-in-law Hai family and the Min family, who had just passed the door, with ugly faces, and even Cui Xin on the side was worried.

Only I didn't see Mrs. Su.

Wang Hongsheng's heart chuckled, and he subconsciously glanced at the inner room, worried about his old wife, and hurriedly walked in.

Wang Mingyuan and Wang Mingyu in the back also wanted to follow up, whether they thought that their father had already entered or they had to wait, so they asked their daughter-in-law first, "What's wrong?" Did something happen to my mother? ”

"The old lady is sick." Zhao glanced at the inner room with an uneasy expression, and when she heard Mama Su say that the old lady had fainted, she was so frightened that her heart stopped. Retracting his gaze, Zhao continued to say slowly, "Yiyi is accompanying the old lady inside at this moment." ”

Qian also answered, "The doctor said that the old lady was depressed in her heart, and she couldn't let go of things in her heart. As long as the old lady can think about it, and then use medicine for conditioning, it won't be long before it will be natural. ”

They know the reason for this. Only now I just hope that the old lady can figure it out as soon as possible and get better soon. As several people were saying this, they saw Xu Jiayi retreat from the inner room and greet Wang Mingyuan and Wang Mingyu.

Zhao looked at Xu Jiayi, who was tired from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and simply persuaded her to go back first, "Yiyi, you've been busy all day, let's go back and rest for a while, there are your two cousins and sisters-in-law watching here, and no matter how bad it is, there are still me and your second aunt and uncle." ”

Qian nodded, and also wanted Xu Jiayi and Cui Xin to go back first.

Seeing that their mother-in-law had expressed their position, Hai and Min also persuaded softly. Although Xu Jiayi wanted to stay, she was really tired, so she nodded and asked Xiangqiao and them to wait and go back to Jiaxi Garden.

"Are you okay?" Wang Hongsheng in the inner room sat up with his old wife's body and asked softly.

"Alas...... People are old and useless. Old Lady Su sighed and sighed and said, seeing that Wang Hongsheng's face was cold, she raised her lips and smiled, "I'll just say it casually, why do you have to throw your face at me like this." ”

"I don't have ......"

"You let them rest assured, although my wife is old, even if it is for Yiyi, she will get better as soon as possible. Today was an accident, and I didn't pay attention to getting up violently for a while, so I fainted. ”

Wang Hongsheng naturally knew how deep Su's feelings for Xu Jiayi were, and when he saw that she had already thought about it, he no longer persuaded her, but said in a low voice, "Yes, even if it is for Yiyi, you should raise your body well, otherwise how can she marry with peace of mind." ”

After coaxing Su Shi to sleep, Wang Hongsheng went out of the inner room lightly, and when he saw the group of people still waiting outside, he lowered his voice and said, "The old lady is asleep, what should you be busy with, the wedding clothes and dowry, as well as the maids who want to marry in the past, must be prepared as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, these daughters-in-law are already doing it."

Wang Hongsheng nodded and drove everyone out.

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Zhao did not worry and complain all day long, but began to silently buy a dowry for Xu Jiayi. Xu Jiayi is going to marry to the border, naturally not like marrying Wang Yunxiu, who can carry hundreds of dowries directly to her husband's house on the day of marriage.

Therefore, the things on the dowry should be extra tidy to see which things were left in the mansion first, and which things were directly sent to the border with Xu Jiayi. Xu Jiayi has no mother, and her father is so unreliable, Zhao didn't think that the Xu family would be so kind to prepare a dowry, after all, she can ignore her own children and daughters for so many years, so these can only be planned by her eldest aunt.

When the decree of marriage came down that day, the emperor also rewarded Xu Jiayi with a lot of things to add makeup, whether they were large or small, they naturally had to be brought. Time is tight, there are many things, Zhao is busy all day, fortunately there is a Qian family on the side to help, although it is busy, but it is also chaotic and orderly.

It was at this time that Mrs. Chen of the Zhongyi General's Mansion came to visit.

The Zhao family knew that Chen Xuan, the concubine of the Zhongyi General's Mansion, had a good relationship with Xu Jiayi, but they didn't expect Mrs. Chen to come too. Although they were surprised, Zhao asked the maid to invite people in first, and he met them in the flower hall.

Mrs. Chen led Chen Xuan in and greeted her first, and then Mrs. Chen talked about this marriage, with some emotion on her face, "I like this girl very much, but I didn't think that Chu Shizi would take the lead." ”

Zhao's eyelids jumped, and he naturally heard the extraneous voice of Mrs. Chen's words, but it was useless to say these things at this time, so Zhao didn't answer this, but smiled and agreed, "This matter is also the fate of the two children......

"The girls have their own ideas when they are older, and those of us who are elders can only follow their wishes and give some suggestions on the side." Mrs. Chen smiled when she heard this, "Isn't my girl Xuan, who dances with her father and gets guns all day long, she doesn't look like a girl's family at all." ”
