Chapter 119: Running away from home
Now, Xu Huaiqing's only hope is that he guessed wrong, Bai Jiujiu did not run away from home, but went to a place he didn't know.
Until the evening, Bai Jiujiu did not come back, and the Xu family finally felt that something was wrong. Wang remembered what Xu Huaiqing had said at noon, so he asked his son, "What about Jiujiu?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”
Xu Huaiqing's face was very ugly, he didn't find anyone after looking for a day, he was already sure in his heart that Bai Jiujiu was gone, "Mother, she may have run away from home." ”
"What?!" Wang stood up, and Old Man Xu was also full of suspicion.
Xu Huaiqing pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, with a little loneliness on his face, "She didn't want me to take a concubine, she was probably angry, so she said goodbye." ”
These words were like a thunderbolt, exploding above the heads of everyone in the Xu family. They never thought that Bai Jiujiu would leave suddenly, and they didn't even say hello, which caught them off guard.
The Wang family was already ashamed of Bai Jiujiu, and when he heard that she might have left because of this, he was immediately anxious and angry, and said at a loss, "I'll just say, Jiujiu is childish, she doesn't want to conceive a concubine, we go against her will, she must be angry." ”
Old Man Xu had a gloomy face and stomped his crutches heavily, "I originally thought that she was a good person, but I didn't expect to be so jealous, if Huaiqing becomes an official in the future, will it be possible to guard her alone?" ”
In the old man's opinion, it is a matter of course for a man to take a concubine, and Bai Jiujiu should not lose his temper.
"Old man, everyone is gone, you are still talking about this, although it is not her that Jiujiu left, but we are also at fault." Wang glared at him disapprovingly.
Old Man Xu snorted coldly, "We are Huaiqing's father, and we take concubines for our son, she should endure her dissatisfaction, which family has such a big temperament as a daughter-in-law." ”
Xu Huaiqing listened silently and didn't say a word.
Wang Shi suddenly couldn't make up his mind, and complained in general, "Alas, this kid is really, even if there is any dissatisfaction in his heart, he can tell us, everything can be discussed, just leave like this, how can you solve any problems." ”
"If Jiujiu doesn't allow me to marry a concubine, mother, will you agree?" Xu Huaiqing's cold gaze looked directly at his mother-in-law, and the Wang family couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he saw it.
"This ...... This ...... "The Wang family is hesitant and doesn't know how to answer, if it is a different person, it will be forgotten, but it is a relative of the prefect, and he really can't say that he disagrees."
The corners of Xu Huaiqing's mouth curved into a slightly mocking arc, "She just knew that it was useless to say anything, so she chose to leave." ”
"Why is she so selfish, she doesn't think about things from your point of view at all."
Xu Huaiqing looked at his mother for a while, and sighed if he didn't have anything, "Does my mother still think it's her problem?" ”
He suddenly understood why Bai Jiujiu left, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. His little fox, he won't be in any danger if he runs outside.
Li and Liu originally only sat and listened to them, but at this time, they suddenly interjected, "Third brother, brother and sister won't never come back, right?" ”
Xu Huaiqing's body suddenly stiffened, and an unprecedented sense of panic surged in his heart.
If Bai Jiujiu really doesn't come back, what should he do?
"No, it won't." Xu Huaiqing cut the ironclad way.
The family had never seen Xu Huaiqing show such an expression, and they were silent for a while. After a while, Li's voice sounded timidly, "My brother and sister are gone, what can I do with the embroidery workshop at home?" ”
This sentence reminds everyone.
It can be said that the Xu family's embroidery workshop was supported by Bai Jiujiu alone, and the customers only recognized her embroidery, if she was gone, the embroidery workshop would be fatally impacted.
The Xu family finally lived a good life because of Bai Jiujiu, did they have to go back to their previous poor life?
Nobody wants to.
The Xu family was really anxious at this time, and the Wang family anxiously pushed the old man Xu, "Old man, you agreed indiscriminately, now that Jiu Jiu is gone, what should I do with the embroidery workshop?" ”
Old Man Xu also thought of this, and without the angry appearance just now, he only kept a calm face and did not speak.
"Why don't we all go out and look for her, and ask her to come back if we find it?" Lee made a suggestion.
Old Man Xu was unwilling, so he asked him to go out to find his daughter-in-law, he couldn't do this kind of face-pulling thing.
Liu said softly, "My younger brother and sister ran away because of the third brother's concubine, and I don't think I will be willing to come back even if I find her." ”
"Then what do you say, Huaiqing, that's your daughter-in-law, do you have any way?" Wang looked at Xu Huaiqing.
"Mother, do you really want me to say?" Xu Huaiqing looked quite calm, but in fact, he was already in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to go out to find Bai Jiujiu immediately.
"Of course, you read a lot and have a lot of methods, talk about how to get people back."
The family looked at Xu Huaiqing expectantly. No matter what they usually think of Bai Jiujiu in their hearts, at this moment, they all hope to get people back.
Unconsciously, Bai Jiujiu's status in the Xu family was already indispensable, but they didn't understand this until she left.
Xu Huai glanced at everyone, and finally his gaze stayed on Old Man Xu's face, "Withdraw from the marriage with Wang Ningzhi." ”
Old Man Xu was the first to stand up and object, "No, I have already promised others, and besides, it is the prefect's family, if you withdraw from your family, how will you mix in officialdom in the future?" ”
"Don't say that I'm not an official now, even if I do, I don't necessarily have to tie up with the prefect, Dad, the child has confidence, even if he doesn't rely on the prefect, he can go on." On the other hand, Old Man Xu was angry, but Xu Huaiqing looked calm.
"Then you can't offend him." Old Man Xu muttered.
In fact, he felt that since Bai Jiujiu was so ignorant, he left and left, so there was no need to look for it. It's just that he can't say this, and he knows that the rest of the Xu family will not agree.
Moreover, he also knew in his heart that if Xu Huaiqing wanted to continue to take the exam, the cost would inevitably be more, and without the support of Bai Jiujiu's embroidery workshop, they would not be able to afford Xu Huaiqing at all.
Old Man Xu was unwilling, glanced around at his son and daughter-in-law, and secretly sighed, how could no one take Bai Jiujiu's position, otherwise he would not be so embarrassed.
Bai Jiujiu is the god of wealth in their family, and now the family can have such a life, all because of her, if she really leaves because of this incident, it will be more than worth the loss.
Thinking of this, Wang had some hesitation in his heart, and he wanted to speak several times, and wanted to open his mouth to find Bai Jiujiu, but because of his face, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
