Chapter 55: The Delayed Rich Lady (8)
Xu Xiucai got married, and it was supposed to be lively, beating gongs and drums, but unfortunately today's Xu family is like a rat crossing the street, so they can only carry Shuang'er into the door with a small sedan chair in a low-key manner.
Not only that, but the Xu family didn't invite any relatives, so they simply set a table, and the groom had no joy on his face, which made Shuang'er's relatives very dissatisfied.
Mother Xu looked at those gobbling up her relatives and shook her face, "Eat, eat!" It's like a starving ghost reincarnated! ”
The relatives were deserted, and the surrounding furniture was also dilapidated, and there was not even a new futon, which made Shuang'er feel lost. The bright red wedding dress on her body looks very abrupt, but she finally marries her sweetheart, and everything is worth it.
Shuang'er's eyes were full of excitement, and his heart was full of hope.
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, and many uninvited people gathered at the door to congratulate them.
"Brother Xu, on such a happy day, why don't you invite us?"
Xu Yuqing saw that they were all his classmates and friends, but because after his accident, there was no contact, how did they know now?
Xu Yuqing's face was shocked, and he quickly came back to his senses, and bowed his hand and said, "It's just a wife, how dare you bother everyone?"
This is not right, the four joys of life: drought and rain, meeting old acquaintances in other places, candles in the cave room, and the title of the gold list. Brother Xu took advantage of a joy, how can he not buy it well? How can it be so simple to be worthy of a show?"
Xu Yuqing barely maintained a smile, he just didn't want people to know that he had married a slave maid as his wife. Later, she climbed into the official eunuch and degraded his wife to a concubine, who knows?
This is good, everyone knows about it.
At this time, the housekeeper of the Yue Mansion walked in majestically with some people holding a food box from Tianxiang Restaurant in his hand.
"Young Master Xu, this is what our young lady means." After the butler finished speaking, he asked a few tables to be carried and took out the dishes in the food box one by one.
Xu Yuqing's face changed suddenly, "What do you mean by this?"
The housekeeper said politely: "Miss knows that the Xu family does not have a lot of money, and it is inevitable that she will be wronged by her family." Although Xu Gongzi and Shuang'er have a lot of prejudices against our young lady, the young lady misses the old feelings, so she asked the slave to invite Xu Gongzi's classmates and friends to come, and set up a few tables of banquets for Shuang'er to support the scene. Xu Gongzi may not know that some of the silver taels that Shuang'er brought to Xu Gongzi were specially given to Shuang'er by Cuiping. That's all I have to say, and I would like to ask you to drink and eat well. ”
This remark made everyone talk a lot, and they praised Miss Yue's kindness.
Xu Yuqing, who was angry for a while, turned blue.
The movement in the front yard was so loud, Shuang'er listened clearly, and her feelings were very complicated at this time. What exactly does this young lady mean? Is it really embarrassing her? Or help her?
However, with the Yue family supporting her, the Xu family naturally would not treat her harshly.
She knew that the young lady would not be so ruthless. Thinking of the Yue family's wealth, there was greed in his eyes.
The banquet was dispersed, and Mother Xu went to look at the account room, but found that this group of people was eating and drinking for nothing, without any congratulatory gifts at all, and their angry mouths were crooked.
Widow Wang, who didn't think much of it, said: "Aunt Xu, since you were invited by the Yue family, then you should go to her house to ask for money, and you can't let people take advantage of you for no reason." ”
Mother Xu felt that the other party was reasonable, it was already embarrassing enough to marry a maid, but this Yue Xuan was still known to everyone, and what kind of table table was set up, causing their Xu family to lose face. Not only that, but I didn't even have a congratulatory gift, is this the etiquette that a big family should have?
Widow Wang looked at her with disdain, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, this Xu Mu is really a fool.
"Yue Xuan, you stop for me!"
Yue Xuan turned around and saw that it was a woman in coarse linen clothes, with pale facial features and a thin figure, but with a condescending sense of superiority.
She remembered this person, this was Xu Xiucai's short-sighted and vicious mother-in-law, Mother Xu. It seems that this Xu Xiucai is self-righteous, and her selfish personality has been inherited from her.
"What's the matter with you?" Yue Xuan's eyes were sharp and his momentum was majestic, which made Xu Mu, who was strong on the outside and capable in the middle, a little cowardly.
"Are you embarrassed?" Mother Xu felt that she was reasonable, so she naturally had to put her mind on it.
Yue Xuan chuckled, and his beautiful appearance instantly bloomed like a hundred flowers, gorgeous and scorching, stunned passers-by.
Mother Xu was shocked, her face showed jealousy, and her eyes were disdainful, "What a water-based poplar slut!" ”
Yue Xuan's eyes were cold, and Chunlan beside him immediately walked over and slapped the other party fiercely, and suddenly knocked Xu Mu to the ground, bleeding from the corners of her mouth.
Mother Xu felt that her brain was buzzing, and she was instantly angry, "You dare to hit me?" Do you know who I am?"
Chunlan sneered and pinched her waist with both hands, "Who do I care who you are?" It's not okay to offend my young lady! ”
"I'm going to fight with you!" Mother Xu lost her mind and rushed directly to scuffle with Chunlan.
It's just that Xu's mother is thin and weak, and after becoming a talented girl, she even asked someone to help clean up the housework, where is Chunlan, who was originally a rough girl, has the strength, and soon Chunlan subdued Xu's mother.
Mother Xu glared, looking at Yue Xuan, who was watching a play, and was angry, "It's a rich lady, and she actually committed murder!" Come and see! Miss Yue's family is going to kill someone! ”
After speaking, he squatted on the ground, rolled and splashed on the ground, and scolded bitterly, "Why is my life so bitter!" It's not enough for the son to be harmed by the other party, he actually bullies our orphans and widows! Is there a royal law in this world?"
Chunlan saw the other party crying and making a fuss, and the surroundings were already surrounded by people watching the excitement, and there were already many people pointing fingers at her young lady, if it continued like this, it would not be good for the reputation of the young lady.
Yue Xuan doesn't care about any reputation, it's good to live with a clear conscience, but the Yue family wants face!
"This lady, you rushed out to scold me for no reason, and you still looked like you were eating alive, and my maid was also the protector of the heart. If you want to talk about the royal law, I want to ask, what kind of royal law did I violate? Our Yue family has always been generous, and Sioux City is well known. Even if the former maid Shuang'er and Xu Xiucai got married yesterday, I will give them a big deal regardless of my previous suspicions, how can I bear to slander you like this?" Yue Xuan's words surprised the people below.
They all praised the Yue family for being really kind, but they didn't expect Xu Xiucai to marry the former maid of the Yue family.
Mother Xu seemed to have been stripped of face on the spot, and she was ashamed.
Yue Xuan felt that it was not enough, and continued: "Auntie, I think you are just a poor person, but the poor can't frame the rich just because they are poor. We all behave in a proper manner, and it is one thing for us to do good, but it is a matter of character to deliberately frame and ask for money. ”
"You're the poor! I'm a talented girl! Xu Mu couldn't help but retort.
"Since she is a talented woman, she should understand things more reasonably, instead of making a lot of noise on the street and deliberately ruining the reputation of others. Fortunately, it's me, but if it were another girl, she wouldn't die of shame. Auntie, you have to do good deeds for your children and grandchildren in the future, don't ruin your identity as a talented girl! Yue Xuan's eyes smiled, but he inexplicably gave people a sense of fierceness.
Mother Xu was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Suddenly, someone recognized it as Xu Xiucai's mother.
Mother Xu was even more panicked, and blurted out in a hurry: "At the wedding banquet yesterday, you deliberately let those people eat and drink in our house for nothing, and the gift money was not paid, do you dare to say that you didn't mean it?"
Yue Xuan glanced at Xu's mother with strange eyes, and twisted his eyebrows, "It turns out that you are Xu Xiucai's mother-in-law, no wonder you are so inexplicable." ”
Then there was a burst of laughter, and Xu's mother was very faceless.
Chunlan sneered: "Oops, I've never seen such a shameless person!" Our young lady kindly ordered a few tables of banquets from Tianxiang Restaurant and sent them to Xu's house to greet relatives and friends, don't they blame our young lady if they don't pay a courtesy, and there is still this truth in this world?"
