Chapter 81: My Background Is Strange (1st Update)
Qingfeng hurriedly greeted him out, and after a while, he came in with the tortoiseshell.
"Fifth girl, the old lady invites you to go." Tortoiseshell paused, then added, "The second lady is here, crying that you are not being disciplined." ”
"Thank you, Sister Tortoiseshell, for the point." Xu Xi smiled and stood up, "I'll go over now." As he spoke, he glanced at Qingfeng.
Yesterday it was okay during the day, but last night the eldest lady gave her some silver, and at this time, there was no reward, so I couldn't talk about it. The tortoiseshell can or may not say the sentence just now. Now that people are willing to mention it, it is a good intention, and Xu Xi can't do without a little expression.
Last night, after Xu Xi got the silver, he gave five taels of silver to Qingfeng, and he was preparing for this situation to reward. As for the amount of reward, Qingfeng has been a second-class maid by the old lady's side for two or three years, and she has a good idea of the reward standard in the house.
Qingfeng also had this idea in his heart, seeing Xu Xi signaling himself, he quickly turned around and took out a purse from a small box, stuffed it into the tortoiseshell, and said with a smile: "Our girl has just returned to the house, and she is not very clear about the things in the house, so I have to mention more things from my sister in the future." ”
The people who can do the first and second class maids in the house are all human sperm, which will save time and measure the situation. The tortoiseshell was willing to mention Xu Xi, also because the old lady and the eldest lady had a very good attitude towards Xu Xi, and she took this opportunity to make a good relationship.
She generously took the purse, thanked Xu Xi, and followed Xu Xi and Qingfeng to Rongxi Hall.
When the group entered the main house of Rongxi Hall, they saw Wei Shi talking to the old lady, wiping his tears while talking. The old lady sat on the top, her face expressionless.
Xu Xi stepped forward to salute the old lady, and when he was done, he blessed the second lady and called: "Second lady." ”
"Look, look." Wei wiped a handful of tears with a handkerchief and said to the old lady, "You see, she won't even call her mother." ”
Xu Xi didn't defend either, just stood there and listened to what the old lady said.
Last night, they came to a consensus. If the old lady forced her to go back to the second room at this time, then she would have to think about how to go next.
"Sister Xi, why don't you go back to the second room for dinner?" The old lady looked at Xu Xi, her tone was flat, and she couldn't hear the joy, anger and sorrow in her words at all.
"The second lady doesn't like me, and they quarrel as soon as they meet. I just want to go to school quietly, so I don't want to annoy the second lady. The calmness in Xu Xi's tone was the same as that of the old lady.
The old lady looked at Wei: "I think Sister Xi'er is very reasonable." Since you hate her, why do you have to force her to go to you and make you uncomfortable? Now that she has moved out, there is no need to go back to the second room for dinner. I'm old and a little lonely alone, so let her eat with me in the future. It should be regarded as filial piety for you. ”
“……”
Wei Shi looked at the old lady in amazement, he really didn't expect such a result.
The old lady is an elder, and her ass determines her head, so she is naturally the most filial person in the house. Xu Xi was unfilial to her mother, she thought that the old lady would not be used to it, and she would definitely reprimand Xu Xi. I didn't expect it......
She looked at Xu Xi, and then at the old lady, lowered her eyelids, put a handkerchief against her nose, and looked heartbroken: "It is right to do filial piety to the old lady for us." But one yard is one yard. Old lady ......"
She raised her head, tears oozing from her eyes, and she spoke in a thick nasal voice: "You are also a mother." If your child doesn't give you a knock on the head, and you don't call her a mother, and you teach her a little bit, she will have ten sentences waiting for you, and she will fight with you, do you think she is right to do this? As an elder, if you are really good to your child, let her be so unfilial and rude? When she gets married in the future and suffers a loss at someone else's house, she complains in her heart, can we be at ease? ”
If this was not said by himself, Xu Xi would really give Wei a warm applause. This expression, this speech, is really level.
Wei wiped his tears: "Admittedly, I didn't do well before. Because he confessed his mistake to the child, he felt a little ashamed in his heart, so he turned his anger on the child. Plus this kid...... She paused and put her nose on her nose with a handkerchief, "I won't be in the future, I will treat Sister Xi well and return to her all the maternal love she has lacked for more than ten years." ”
Xu Xi could afford goosebumps when he heard this, and quickly raised his head to see the old lady's performance, and saw the old lady nodding in agreement.
"Okay, it's easy to settle the knot with the family, not to mention the mother and daughter, it's good to talk about it today. Sister Xi'er was taken away, she has suffered for so many years, she has grievances in her heart, she is not close to you, she has complaints, you must also understand, you can't be forced too much. She doesn't want to go back now, so you let her stay with me for now. You care about her in the future. When she knows that you have a motherly heart for her, even if I stop her, she will ask me to allow her to go back. ”
Wei didn't have to force Xu Xi to go back to the second room. To be honest, this girl is quite angry no matter what she says and does. She was worried about confronting this girl, and with an impulse she started to the wheat again.
"It's still the old lady who can see it thoroughly." She flattered and stood up, "In that case, then let her stay here with you." I won't disturb you eating. With that, she bowed to the old lady and withdrew, without even looking at Xu Xi before leaving.
When she went out, the old lady raised her head, motioned for Xu Xi to sit down, and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" "Turn your head and tell a tortoiseshell," go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes for the five girls. ”
"No, I've eaten it, and I've eaten it as a small amount of silk." Xu Xi waved his hand and stopped the tortoiseshell.
The old lady was momentarily stunned.
Xu Xi didn't care about this, she sat opposite the old lady, looking at her silently, her eyes were complicated, but she didn't say a word for a long time.
The old lady was inexplicably surprised by her, put down the teacup she had just picked up, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"You really don't have any doubts about my background?" Xu Xi asked.
"Didn't your mother explain it just now?" The old lady said.
Xu Xi snorted: "Do you believe it?" I don't believe it anyway. There are some things that others can't see clearly, but as a daughter, no one knows better than me. The way she looked at me was not like a daughter, but like an enemy. ”
She looked at the old lady: "Old lady, you are also a mother, no matter how naughty your children are, you won't hate them, right?" What's more, if you have lost your daughter for more than ten years, you will only use all your maternal love to make up for her. ”
"If the second lady can't love Zhao Ruyu, I can understand it, she hates me for coming back and destroying the mother-daughter relationship between her and Zhao Ruyu. But I don't think she treats Zhao Ruyu very well. So I really can't understand her behavior, and I don't dare to agree with what she just said. I think there must be something strange about my background. ”
