Chapter 121: Can't You Hide If You Can't Provoke It?
Aunt Fang outside the door was still making trouble, sitting directly on the ground and patting her thigh, Liu Fu saw this situation, his face was not good, and asked him to guard the door, but it turned out to be such a trouble, didn't he just give him eye medicine?
"Go, report to the officer, I've seen a lot of people like this!" Liu Fu said, just like that, there is no need to alarm the master, as soon as the people from the government come, someone will help them bombard!
Xi Hongdou saw this situation and was about to come out, but Liu Fu turned around and blocked Xi Hongdou back.
"Girl, you can't go out at this time, or they'll think it's useful to be a scoundrel like this!" Liu Fu said: "If you open this, whoever comes to the door of the Xiao family will come out like this in the future, and the face of the Xiao family will not need to be asked!" "No matter who is out there now, you can't show your face.
Xi Hongdou had no choice but to continue to shrink his head and hide, and soon, the people from the yamen came. What kind of family is the Xiao family, making trouble at the gate, they don't even need to ask, they directly take the people to the yamen, and wait until they get to the yamen before they ask back.
The gate of the Xiao family quickly regained calm, and Xi Hongdou also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Zhi came over at this time, there was a lot of noise outside, as soon as he came out, he saw that Xi Hongdou was also there, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
As soon as Xi Hongdou told the Fang family's mother and son, Xiao Zhi frowned: "What are their mother and son looking for you?" ”
"I don't know, but I don't want to have anything to do with them, it's definitely not good!" Xi Hongdou said, this Fang family is really unlucky, whoever gets involved is unlucky!
Xiao Zhi saw that Xi Hongdou was a little irritable, so he said, "Then ignore it." "Now that the people have been taken to the Yamen, if they cause trouble again in the future, their Xiao family will not be able to step on everything!
Although the mother and son of the Fang family made trouble at the door of Xiao's house, after asking, after all, they did not commit any royal law, and they let the person go after the warning, but the mother and son were also reluctant, and went to the grain store the next day to wait for the rabbit.
Hu Ping was also shocked, so he asked: "Two, you want to find someone to go to Xiao's house, the owner won't come." ”
Aunt Fang snorted coldly: "The Xiao family has already been there, if I can find it, do I still need to find you?" "She's not satisfied!
Fang Dongliang was a little tired, so he said, "Why don't you go back to your hometown first, Dad is still there!" ”
"What do you know? You didn't pass the exam, and your father won't give you a good face when you go back, so you don't want to do it, how can you go back? Aunt Fang said, now I can only count on Xi Hongdou to go through the relationship, no matter how bad it is, Xi Hongdou's future father-in-law is also a household servant, and it should not be difficult to arrange a small position in the household department!
Hu Ping listened to the dialogue between the mother and son, and also smiled, if this kind of person is allowed to enter the official yamen to work as an errand, then the people don't have to live, this kind of damage to people gains power, do good people still have a way to live?
"Mr. Lu, come to the back room." Hu Ping asked Lu Zhi to go into the back room to talk.
In the past two days, Lu Zhi has not had a good face when he looks at the mother and son, and Hu Ping is also afraid that Lu Zhi may be going to beat people at some point.
"The owner can't come to the shop now, so Mr. Lu will send the account book to the Xiao family." Hu Ping said.
Lu Zhi nodded, but looked back at the two people in the front hall, and asked, "When are they leaving?" ”
"No matter how much you endure it, it is estimated that it will be soon." Hu Ping said.
When Lu Zhi went out, he looked at Fang Dongliang and shook his head, thinking that the Gao family was really blind.
Xi Hongdou had actually arrived outside the shop, but when he saw the Xiao family's mother and son, he didn't dare to go in, and when he saw Lu Zhi coming out, he stopped the person at the intersection.
"The owner?" After Lu Zhi was stopped, he looked behind him, and the two of them secretly turned into the alley to talk.
Xi Hongdou said: "Why don't they leave? ”
"I annoy them too!" Lu Zhi said.
Xi Hongdou smiled, and then said: "If you are not busy these days, don't go to the shop, so as not to fight again, go to Gao Da Niang's help more!" ”
"Okay." Lu Zhi responded, and then said: "This is the income of the past few days, you watch it first, and then I will go to Xiao's house to get it." ”
Xi Hongdou turned out to be in the ledger, and then he was separated from Lu Zhi, and he was busy with his own.
In June, it was time for Xijia Village to collect grain again, in order to avoid the Fang family, Xi Hongdou didn't go to the shop, and after thinking about it, he followed the caravan and went directly back to his hometown, which happened to be far away from the Fang family's mother and son.
Aunt Xi and Father Xi were very happy, and the dowry for their daughter was also taken out, and they were waiting for the Xiao family to pick up their relatives.
This time, Xi Hongdou returned to the village, and he was not idle, he should collect grain.
"This red bean is really in the eyes of money, and I don't forget to make money at any time!" Sun Hongxiu is also convinced, whoever has such enthusiasm as Xi Hongdou is estimated to be poor.
Zhao Tiezhu said: "Just have enough money to spend, why do you make so much money?" ”
Sun Hongxiu was not happy: "How much is enough to spend?" Now there are not many children, I don't know what will happen in the future, not to mention anything else, my daughter's dowry is indispensable, and now there is one in the belly, what will I take to marry my daughter-in-law when the time comes? Just talking about enough flowers, but you can't starve to death, earn one and eat one! ”
Zhao Tiezhu was said by Sun Hongxiu to have no temper at all, he has been a lazy man for a long time, and if he works hard, he feels invincible, and compared with other families, he really feels a little collapsed.
But now that he can do all his strength, his own life is barely strong, and when the children grow up, Sun Hongxiu wants to prepare a decent dowry for Xiao Tao, if Sun Hongxiu has a son in his belly, he can eat Lao Tzu to death when he is older, what can I do? To sum it up, it's their land that is still too little!
His previous land was sold, and now the land is Sun Hongxiu's, strictly speaking, he is a "soft rice" eater.
"Do you want to buy another piece of land?" Zhao Tiezhu said.
Sun Hongxiu calculated the little money she was holding in her hand, and the money of the two of them was in her hands, but after calculating it, she said: "If you buy land, it will cost a lot, and it is estimated that we will not have enough to buy, so we still have to reclaim the wasteland." "The investment in reclamation is smaller, but reclamation is not easy, the Xi family's reclamation land is all hired people to reclaim the wasteland, and their family can only work for two people, Sun Hongxiu is still a double now, if you want to reclaim the land by yourself, you can only rely on Zhao Tiezhu.
"Then reclamation, I don't believe it, I can't let you live a good life!" Zhao Tiezhu said, he also made up his mind!
Sun Hongxiu saw Zhao Tiezhu say this, so he said: "That's really it, don't spend the money then, you will be tired after two days of reclamation, and you will stop doing it!" "Then she doesn't follow!
Zhao Tiezhu directly clapped the board: "I can't reclaim the wasteland, I am your grandson!" "As soon as this bold statement is released, it is impossible to regret it!
"Okay!" Sun Hongxiu responded, her own man is motivated, and it is too late for her to be happy!
Xi Hongdou is busy harvesting grain here, and she used to help collect it at home, but now that she is back, the eldest brother and second brother of the Xi family can also be more relaxed.
When the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family came to deliver the grain, her stomach was not small, and Xi Hongdou was speechless: "Oh, there was no movement during the last Chinese New Year, congratulations!" ”
The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family has been tortured in her in-law's family for many years because she has not given birth to children, and now her belly has risen slightly, so Aunt Zhao is also protected like a treasure, waiting for the eldest grandson to be born!
"It's all thanks to the recipe you gave, sister, after drinking it for two months, you have this belly!" The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family said that it is only five months now, but this belly is not small, and the old people in the village say that this round belly must be a son! Aunt Zhao also believes that what is in this belly is her grandson, and as long as the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family wants to eat it every day, she basically gives it to her, and the oppression for many years has finally turned over.
Xi Hongdou was collecting grain, and someone from the Fang family came, it was Daddy Fang.
The Xi family released their words before, and if they don't accept the Fang family in the future, the Fang family really hasn't sent food to the Xi family, they are all sent to the Cui family, and today Daddy Fang came, and Xi Hongdou didn't know what it meant.
"Hongdou, have my wife and son looked for you?" Father Fang asked directly.
"I don't know." Xi Hongdou said directly.
Father Fang wondered, Xi Hongdou didn't know, he had also said before that when their mother and son arrived in Kyoto City, they would look for Xi Hongdou, relying on the relationship of the Xiao family, they would definitely be able to win the imperial examination, so why didn't they find it?
"How could you not know?" Father Fang couldn't ask, so he could only leave first, because of the Gao family's affairs, the people of Xijia Village did not have a good face for the people in their neighboring villages, and now the daughters to be married in Xijia Village did not tell the young men in the neighboring villages.
Seeing that Daddy Fang was gone, Xi Hongdou muttered in his heart, the mother and son of the Fang family in Kyoto City are endless, and now that they have returned to their hometown, Daddy Fang has also come to the door.
When I go home at night, Xi Hongdou is also so tired that I don't want to move on the bed, this year's harvest is not good, Hexi Prefecture is rich in water and grass, but I can catch up with several hailstorms in a row, and the crops in the field have also been smashed a lot, and some serious ones can only be directly hoeed and re-sowned. There is also a direct lodging of corn, which leads to a poor harvest, which also has an impact on Xi Hongdou's business.
"Red Bean, how is your wedding dress?" Aunt Xi came over to ask, because the Xiao family had discussed it before, and the wedding dress was also helped by the Xiao family, and the Xi Hongdou of the province embroidered it himself, and he really had to wait for Xi Hongdou to embroider the wedding dress, and Xi Hongdou could become a stupid pig's trotter hand with a needle, I am afraid that I will not want to wear it to marry in this life.
Xi Hongdou went to the box and turned it out, the red wedding dress was embroidered with gold thread, the leather was silky, and the embroiderers were also embroidered by the embroidery girls hired by Mrs. Xiao.
"Hey, this is really good, these ten miles and eight towns, it's good for a girl to marry a red dress, your wedding dress is no worse than the phoenix crown and xia cloak on the stage!" Aunt Xi is very rare, this Xiao family's handwriting is different, and her daughter will definitely not be able to live a poor life when she marries in the future!
