Chapter 11 Occasional Gain
Wang Xi's grandmother often told her that she relied on the mountains and the water. In this life, especially women, what they want, they must fight for themselves.
She loves people who help themselves.
Chang Ke is like this, it can be regarded as a kind of self-help, right?
Wang Xi felt that she should help her.
She winked at Chang Ke and said, "You let me give you ideas?" But I have no other skills than being coquettish in front of my elders. Are you sure you want me to give you ideas? ”
"Spoiled?" Chang Ke looked at Wang Xi in surprise.
Wang Xi nodded and said seriously: "Children who can cry have candy to eat." This makes perfect sense. I also have a lot of siblings in my family, and I love to be spoiled with my grandfather and grandmother. If it wasn't a big deal, my grandfather would usually say yes. But if it were my grandmother, even if it was a big deal, she would be biased towards me and find a way to help me. ”
Chang Ke was thoughtful.
Wang Xi took the opportunity to leave.
In the afternoon, she got the news that Chang Ke was crying sadly in front of Mrs. Tai with tears in her eyes, and Mrs. Tai relented and called Mrs. Hou over to discuss the matter of Chang Sanye's new house.
Hongsilk was worried: "Mrs. Tai won't give the Willow Garden to Chang Sanye, right?" ”
"No!" Wang Xi's old god is here, and he said. "The courtyard of Liuyin Garden is big and dilapidated, and it costs too much to repair, even if Mrs. Tai is willing, Mrs. Hou will not be willing."
Chang Fourth Master and Chang Fifth Master are also married, and when Chang San's grandmother enters the door, they will discuss Chang Siye's marriage date.
Mrs. Hou will not let Chang Sanye take her son's share.
Hongsilk breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are we really going to move to Willow Garden?" ”
Wang Xi nodded and threw the hydrangea in his hand.
Xiangye ran over quickly, bit the hydrangea, and ran back happily, lying on Wang Xi's lap with clear eyes, and returned the hydrangea to her.
Wang Xi touched Xiangye's head with a grin, took the hydrangea, and threw it out again.
The scent sped away again......
This is one of its favorite games.
While playing a game with it, Wang Xi said to Red Silk a little casually: "Of course, it's good to live here." Didn't Mrs. Tai always feel sorry for my mother? I live here, and she takes care of my diet and daily life, and I feel better. This can be regarded as my filial piety on behalf of my mother. ”
As for her marriage, she felt that her mother's hopes for Mrs. Tai were too great.
As for such a small matter as Xingyuan, she didn't deal with it for several days, and the old lady may not have a good vision for such a big matter as marriage.
However, Wang Xi can also understand his mother.
There is hate, and there is love.
It is understandable to be blinded by family affection for a while.
It's better not to let Mrs. Tai interfere in her marriage.
She smiled and said to Hongxi: "I have already explained the matter, and there will be news from Wang Xi's side early tomorrow morning at the latest." Wouldn't it be a waste of manpower and material resources to regret it at this time? ”
Everything has a cost, and it can't be wasted.
Therefore, you must be cautious when making decisions, and once you have made a decision, you must implement it without fear of hardship.
Wang Xi picked up the bayant leaf and scratched its chin.
The bay leaves "gurgled" comfortably.
Wang Xi grinned and continued to say to Hongxi: "In the courtyard next door, you have to keep staring." See if he really just shows up there every morning. ”
She rescheduled.
But if he'd take a walk there at night or something, that's fine.
Wang Xi pondered in his heart.
Red Silk smiled and said "yes".
Wang Xi sent her to keep an eye on her, handed the cat to Anan, and copied a few pages of scriptures with Baizhu in the study.
It's almost the Buddha Bathing Festival, her grandmother is sincere to the Buddha, she can't come to the capital and forget her old man's house, she should also copy a few pages of Buddhist scriptures for her old man. It's too late for the eighth day of April, but you can catch up with July 15th!
Wang Xi has been at home for a few days, but the matter of Xingyuan has not been resolved.
Mrs. Hou proposed several solutions, either Mrs. Tai was not satisfied, or Mrs. II was dissatisfied.
Wang Xi couldn't help but be surprised, and sent Qingsilk to inquire: "I didn't expect the second wife to dare to refute Mrs. Hou's words, you go and ask if there is any inside story here?" ”
Qingsilk soon came to call her back, saying that the second wife of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion had a large sum of silver.
Don't talk about Wang Xi, even a few white fruits, they are also dumbfounded.
Qingxiu said: "Mrs. Hou's mother's father is just a lifter, although he also had some assets in the early years, but the in-laws have been sick in bed for a long time, and he has used all that bit of family resources. When Mrs. Hou came out of the cabinet, she said that it was a dowry of thirty-six lifts, which was really nothing valuable. In the past few years, the brothers in the family have been named on the two lists, and they have been the prefect of the wealthy Jinhua for a few years, and the mother's family has slowly become more prosperous.
"The second wife is different. Although she is the second daughter, but in the family is very favored, the in-laws have been in Fujian for more than ten years as a general soldier, when the second wife out of the cabinet, although there are only thirty-six dowry, but the marriage is mostly a field shop, her annual income is not a lot.
"The old marquis was not good at management when he was alive, he took several concubines, gave birth to a bunch of concubines, and owed a lot of foreign debts outside. When the Hou Ye takes over, he will have to let the old Hou Ye have a grand funeral, and he will have to settle those concubine brothers, and he will have to entertain some people in the officialdom.
"Mrs. Tai came forward and borrowed silver from the second wife several times in the name of the Hou Mansion."
Having said this, Qingsu couldn't help lowering her voice and said to Wang Xi: "Do you know that Chang Sanye's family business is a thread drawn by Mrs. Xiangyang Houtai, and it was Chang Siye who originally looked at it. It was the second wife who begged Mrs. Tai, and when she went on a blind date, she was replaced by Chang Sanye. ”
Oh no!
Wang Xi, you look at me, I look at you, and I look quite excited.
Baizhu said: "Chang Sanye is indeed more handsome than Chang Siye, not to mention that Chang Sanye is the eldest son of the second room, and he is still on an errand in Long Xiangwei, and he is more cautious than Chang Siye, no wonder the Han family will take a fancy to Chang Sanye." ”
Chang Siye is still living at home on the ten or two months of the month in the public middle school!
Bai Zhi said: "No wonder Mrs. Hou said a few days ago that she wanted to find an errand for Fourth Master Chang. Now that something like this has happened again, Mrs. Hou should have some mustard in her heart, right? “
Baizhu said: "I'm curious why Chang Fourth Master and Chang Third Master didn't fight?" I look at Chang Siye like that, his eyes are on the top of his head, and he can actually endure this breath, which shows that he is just a bluff paper man. ”
Wang Xi also listened to it, and she was more concerned about when she would be able to live in Liuyin Garden. Especially early the next morning, she lay on the wall of the willow garden and waited for the sun to shine on her face through the leaves, but the bamboo forest next door did not appear from beginning to end The sword-dancing person, she felt as if her heart had been cut in half, and she couldn't dance.
"How so?" She muttered, grabbing Red Silk's hand, "Didn't you say that he would dance his sword here at this time of the day?" How can there be no human figure today? Is he in some danger? Or is it sick? Moved away? ”
Red Silk trembled with fright, and her voice trembled: "I, I don't know." It's been good before......"
Qingxi's face was also frighteningly white.
She and Hongsilk had discussed before they came, and they had to stay by Wang Xi's side and stay in the palace no matter what.
If they were returned, not to mention the toast, even their father and brother would not spare them.
Bai Guo couldn't bear to look directly, gently took the green silk, took a few steps forward to help Wang Xi, and said with a warm smile: "Didn't you say who you want to inquire about the sword dancer?" Maybe the man just didn't show up for something today. Didn't we find out before that there were people dancing swords? Don't worry. Miss Fourth sent someone yesterday to say that she wanted to visit you today. Let's go back to Qingxue Garden first, and let Red Silk send a letter to Wang Xi. Maybe in the afternoon, we'll know why the man didn't show up in the bamboo forest. ”
For the first time in his life, Wang Xi was at a loss as if he wanted to grasp something but held gravel in his hand, no matter how hard you tried, whether it wanted to fall from your hands or would continue to fall from your hands.
The group returned to the Qingxue Garden gloomily.
Chang Ke came as scheduled.
She brought a few pieces of her own embroidery to Wang Xi, and said apologetically: "I know that your Shu embroidery over there is very famous, and you don't lack these." That's what I have on my mind. You've helped me a lot. ”
Wang Xi cheered up and entertained Chang Ke and said, "Has your matter been settled?" ”
"Nope!" Chang Ke said with a smile, "However, Mrs. Tai has already spoken, and if she really can't do it, let me live in Yuchun Hall temporarily." ”
That's a good solution.
People are getting closer and closer, Chang Ke is in front of Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai will take care of her more.
Wang Xi sincerely said "congratulations".
Chang Ke smiled embarrassedly and said, "You helped me come up with a good idea." I used to want to, but I didn't dare. I hope I can please my grandmother this time. ”
Find her a better family affair.
Wang Xi nodded.
Or because of the common experience, Chang Ke felt that Wang Xi was closer than before, and he was not as distant as before, but smiled sweetly at Wang Xi with a little shyness: "It's me who is too scared." Because next door to the Willow Garden is the Lu Mingxuan of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. When the second son was a child, he once came to our house by mistake when he climbed over the wall, and I always felt that the willow garden was not safe, as if it could be turned in casually. In fact, although the second son has a bad temper, he never bullies the weak......"
"Wait," Wang Xi's ears suddenly propped up, "what did you say?" Next door to Liuyin Garden is Lu Mingxuan of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, how do you know? Who is the second son? ”
Chang Ke's eyes widened, and then she covered her mouth and laughed again, and explained softly: "You just arrived at our house, no wonder you don't know." Isn't there the eldest princess living next door to us? Lu Mingxuan is the courtyard of Chen Luo, the biological son of the eldest princess. He is the second in the Chen family, and we all call him the second son.
"The second prince is greatly favored, half of the time he lives in the palace, and half of the time he lives in the eldest princess's mansion. When he returned home, the prince would often come to play with him. He also took the prince to fight with the people in the capital, and the prince of Zhenguo punished him, so he climbed over the wall, and once, the second prince and the third prince climbed over the wall with him and fell into the courtyard of my house, and the prince of Zhenguo chased after him. ”
"They are fighting with immortals, and our family can't afford to provoke them, so they closed this courtyard."
