Chapter 171: It's not appropriate to ration anyone
Xi Hongdou sat down, and then said to Mrs. Xiao, "What's wrong with the next person?" This has something to do with my cousin? β
Shao Yulin took a handkerchief and wiped it on her face at this time, and said, "I didn't want to alarm my cousin-in-law about today's incident, but this ......"
"Okay, it's better to talk about it, so as not to have a misunderstanding." Mrs. Xiao said that she is also upset now, why do these bad things come to her every day.
Xi Hongdou said with a smile: "This is natural, my cousin is a guest, how can I let my cousin be wronged, say, if there is any grievance, my cousin can also help you make the decision!" β
Shao Yulin's heart was blocked, and Xi Hongdou, the hostess's face, was really annoying.
However, Mrs. Xiao didn't think anything was wrong, so she said: "Yes, you can say whatever you want, your aunt and cousin-in-law are here, and you will definitely be in charge!" "In essence, Xi Hongdou is also the hostess.
Shao Yulin didn't care, so she said: "Fang Cai Yufen was surrounded and scolded by the people in the house in the back kitchen, and said that our family raises noodles, and our Shao family attaches the most importance to reputation. β
After hearing this, Rue Xiang rolled her eyes, and Mrs. Xiao also felt that this matter was a little strange, so she asked, "What's the matter, Mrs. Zhao will say it first." β
Mrs. Zhao got the right to speak, so she said: "The ability Yufen first arranged the young grandmother, saying that the young grandmother raised Abuna child is to raise her own face, as for Miss Biao's words, none of us said it, it was Yufen herself who said it, but it can't be arranged for us!" β
Hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, Mrs. Xiao's face was not good, not to mention Shao Yulin's words about raising noodles, just listening to Xi Hongdou's raising noodles was harsh enough.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao looked at Xi Hongdou, and then said, "This is nothing at all!" "But after all, it's not good to get out.
Xi Hongdou's heart tightened, Shao Yulin dared to talk nonsense like that, dare to wait for her here, don't care if it's true or not, as soon as this kind of insulting and innocent words come out, it will be ugly!
Shao Yulin said: "What, Yufen, you still said such things? Then he looked at Yufen.
Yufen originally thought that this time she was going to punish Zhao Pozi and Ruxiang, but now when she was asked about her head, she said, "Yes......"
Shao Yulin got up directly, stepped forward, and said, "How can you say such nonsense? My cousin-in-law treats me well, but you say such things to arrange my cousin-in-law, what you know is that your Yufen is full of nonsense, if it spreads to the ears of outsiders, how do you let your cousin-in-law deal with herself? ! β
Xi Hongdou looked at Shao Yulin pretending to be here, and then said: "This can't be spread outside, the subordinates of the Xiao family have rules, and today's matter is also because of Yufen's cheap mouth, our own subordinates can control their mouths, if it is really spread out, it will definitely not pass through the mouths of our subordinates." β
Mrs. Xiao saw that Xi Hongdou was angry, so she said, "Since it is said, forget about it." β
"Don't forget it, this thing was originally to call the shots for my cousin, and my misunderstanding was just a fart, and I let it go, but my cousin has to talk about it well." Xi Hongdou saw that Mrs. Xiao wanted to directly settle the matter and turn the big thing into a small one, but she didn't want to, if today's matter was not explained well, this Shao Yulin really thought that she was a papier-mΓ’chΓ© cotton filling, and she didn't want to spoil her in the future? !
Shao Yulin's face is not good, and this Xi Hongdou is too difficult.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's go over this matter, I know that my cousin-in-law will not treat me harshly, and the words that my cousin said must not have been instructed by my cousin!"
Xi Hongdou naturally refused, so he said: "This is not good, you have to say it, if you really say it's the fault of the people in the house, then you must be punished heavily so that my cousin can be angry!" Then he said to Ruexiang: "Ruexiang, you go on, you must not have half a lie!" β
Mrs. Xiao's face is not good, this Xi Hongdou is also a little unreasonable, since it is a misunderstanding and his own cousin, why do you have to make it so stiff, the past is over.
Rue Xiang stepped forward directly, and told everything about the previous things, and there was Zhao Pozi to add that she didn't say everything, and when she finished speaking, Mrs. Xiao's face also darkened, and it seemed that this matter was really all about Yufen.
Shao Yulin saw that Mrs. Xiao's brows were getting tighter and tighter, so she got up directly and gave Yufen a slap: "You can say everything like this, and the innocence of our Shao family will make you tired like this!" β
Xi Hongdou watched Yufen being beaten, and there was no turmoil in her heart, it was just a show. Spread rumors with one mouth, refute rumors and break her legs, if Shao Yulin really succeeds today, it is estimated that she will be directly Chen Tang tomorrow, this Shao Yulin is really bad!
Mrs. Xiao said: "This is your maid, what you want to do with it, it's up to you, take someone back first." "Although his subordinates are a little ugly, they are also loyal to the Lord, and although they want to punish on the surface, there is nothing wrong with what their subordinates are doing.
Shao Yulin led Yufen away directly, and Mrs. Xiao looked at Mrs. Zhao and said: "You are also an old man in the house, don't say such ugly things in the future, and Ruxiang, at a young age, don't study well, you two, you will be fined for three months, go back and reflect on it!" β
Mrs. Zhao and Rue Xiang didn't dare to say anything, and this punishment was small.
Xi Hongdou saw that the matter was settled, and just as he was about to leave, Mrs. Xiao said, "Don't leave yet, I have something to say." β
Xi Hongdou's heart was cold, I was afraid that I was going to talk about Abu.
"Mother, how old is Abu, only eleven years old, you can't believe what they said, right?!" Xi Hongdou said that Mrs. Xiao would not make a mistake in serious matters.
Mrs. Xiao sighed: "I know, I also believe that you will not do anything to be sorry for my son, but this person is terrible, this matter is suppressed today, and if it comes out again in the future, it will not be able to be suppressed every time." β
Xi Hongdou said: "That mother can't drive Abu out, right?" β
"Then I don't care, in short, I can't leave a foreign man in this house." Mrs. Xiao said, Xi Hongdou can do whatever he wants to do about this.
Xi Hongdou returned to the courtyard, and she was in a bad mood, although Shao Yulin failed to discredit her, but it made Abu's situation embarrassing.
Xiao Zhi came back from the yamen at this time, and it was rare to think that he could accompany Xi Hongdou more, but seeing Xi Hongdou listless, he asked, "What's wrong?" Mother is bullying you with tonic soup again? β
Xi Hongdou shook his head, and told him about the things of the day, Xiao Zhi also felt disgusted when he heard it, so he said: "You don't have to listen to your mother, besides, Abu lives in another courtyard and has always obeyed the rules, so this rumor is only believed by fools." β
"My mother said that I was afraid that outsiders would not know the situation, so I would definitely believe it." Xi Hongdou said, and then asked, "What should I do?" Abu has always been very well-behaved, if Abu is allowed to move out of the house, will he resent me in his heart? β
Xiao Zhi thought about it for a while, and said: "Anyway, it's not too young, find a school or something, go to school, and live directly in the academy, so there are no such things." β
"Will it work?" Xi Hongdou asked, Abu didn't seem to like to study very much.
"Yes, the boy listens to you, and he listens to everything you say." Xiao Zhi said: "And studying is not a bad thing, hasn't he always wanted to help you." β
Xi Hongdou thought about it and felt that this was feasible, so he went to Abu to ask first.
Abu also heard about Xi Hongdou being questioned by Mrs. Xiao, and when he saw Xi Hongdou coming, he said, "Sister, do you want to let me go?" β
When Xi Hongdou heard this, his nose was sour, Abu also had a hard life, he was sold as a slave since he was a child, and now he finally has a place to stay, and he was so troubled by Shao Yulin that he was about to leave the house again.
"My sister is out of recruitment, my mother-in-law has given an order, and my sister wants to send you to school." Xi Hongdou said.
Although Abu was in a low mood, Xi Hongdou didn't really care about him.
"I listen to my sister, and I will go wherever my sister tells me." Abu said that after being exiled for so long, Xi Hongdou finally had a relative-like existence, and now he has to be separated.
Xi Hongdou said: "In the past few days, I will first change your slave status to an official status, I thought that I would not be in a hurry now, but when I go to study in the school in the future, my slave status is easy to be bullied." "But even if he changes his official status, it is estimated that Abu will suffer a little because of this appearance, but there is no way, Abu will always move towards society in the future, and what he should experience will also be experienced.
Abu nodded, he couldn't embarrass Xi Hongdou, so he said, "Don't send me too far, I still want to go home to visit my relatives." β
Xi Hongdou smiled helplessly: "Okay, sister must find you the best school that is not far away." "The encounter with Abu is also fate, since there is this sister and brother fate, it is natural to cherish it.
Xi Hongdou went back to the room, and when he saw Xiao Zhi, he said, "Your cousin seems to be a little difficult, and now she is eyeing you." "It didn't count before, today is the first battle, on the surface it looks like she won, but in fact she still lost, so Abu had to go to live in the academy at a young age.
Xiao Zhi pondered for a while, and said: "If she doesn't want to enter the palace, she will find other relatives, there are also people who are better than me, and the two-legged man is dissatisfied with the street!" β
Xi Hongdou asked, "Then what do you want to find for her?" According to her analysis, Shao Yulin's character has problems, and the good people are blind to the good people, but the family background is there, and Mrs. Xiao can't let her match a bad estimate, which is very tricky.
Xiao Zhi thought about it, and said, "Let me think about it first, I think that Chu Tong seems to be a bit of a door." β
As soon as Xi Hongdou heard that it was Chu Tong's second ancestor, he said: "Chu Tong is now an official, and his family background is indeed good, but your cousin probably can't agree with that appearance, right?" β
"Not necessarily." Xiao Zhi said that this matter can be discussed in the long run.
