Chapter 10: Pillow Wind
"I heard that when Su Fu went, the fifth girl hadn't gotten up yet, so he waited patiently for half an hour." Mother Xue told Mrs. Gu the news she had inquired about, "The fifth girl wanted to ask Su Fu for some money, Su Fu said that the business was difficult and the money was not enough, the fifth girl made a fuss, and when she left, Su Fu promised to come next time and send some rouge gouache to the girl." ”
Fluttershy is a young glutton.
A few pieces of pastry coaxed me to say everything.
"I moved the Su family's dowry silver, and I can't hide it from the fifth girl after all." Old Madam Gu touched the water droplets on the petals, her eyes were a little stunned, if it weren't for the increasingly poor money in the house, she would disdain to touch the Su family's silver, but once it was used, she would never be able to leave it again.
"The old lady doesn't have to feel guilty, if you hadn't come forward in person, the sixteen shops might have been confiscated." Mother Xue disagreed, "Even if the fifth girl doesn't understand it now, she will understand it in the future." ”
Mrs. Gu was born in a famous family, and her maternal grandfather also served as the first emperor's teacher.
When the family was prominent, Mrs. Gu also lived in the palace, and I heard that she almost married the prince of Jin, and when the Su family had an accident, the sixteen shops on Chongzheng Street were protected by the prince of Jin, so they were not affected.
In this way, Mrs. Gu has made the first contribution to the dowry shop of the five girls.
It is also a matter of course to use her a little silver.
Old Madam Gu's expression was silent, and she didn't squeak again.
After Xie Ting came back from the yamen, he was embarrassed to go to Aunt Qian's house again.
went back to Qiulan Temple.
The Xu family had already prepared a table of good dishes to comfort Xie Ting, and never mentioned Aunt Qian's affairs, and the banquet was full of tenderness: "Recently, the old lady is worried about the affairs of the five girls, and I am inevitably a little angry with you, the master doesn't have to take it to heart, the five girls are the flesh and blood of the master after all, although I am the stepmother, I treat her with no two hearts." ”
"I know all of this!" Xie Ting took the opportunity to pat her hand, very moved, "You broke your heart for that girl, it's just that she is not angry, and she is becoming more and more arrogant and rude, I, I can't wait to beat her to death, if only she was as sensible as the sixth girl." ”
Cheng Linyu is gentle and generous, and she also respects him very much.
Xie Jinyi couldn't even compare to her little finger.
"The inch is long, the ruler is short, they are all their own children, don't say that, master!" Xu lowered his eyebrows, covered his eyes with a trace of ridicule, and got up to cook for Xie Ting, "Yesterday I went to see the fifth girl with the sixth girl, Xu is the fifth girl was not happy and refused to see us, but I was always worried about the injury of the fifth girl, and I wanted to ask the master to go over to see her, and by the way to help persuade him, after all, Brother Shen was succeeded to the name of Yong'an Hou, and Brother Shen'er's family affairs still have to be nodded by Hou Ye after all, it is better to strike while the iron is hot, and set this family business first, so as not to have many dreams at night, we can climb with Hou Ye to go to the in-laws, which is also helpful to the old man's career." ”
If Yong'an Hou disliked Xie Jinyi's appearance and temperament, he refused to nod.
This has to make a new wave.
Xie Ting thought that this matter was actually related to his future, he put down his chopsticks heavily, and his face sank: "I'll go and talk to that evil obstacle to see what she thinks!" ”
Yong'an Houfu is not what she wants to marry.
If you don't want to marry, you won't marry!
Even for his career, Xie Jinyi has to marry.
"Master, now the five girls are injured, only Ziyu is serving in the house, I heard that Mother Meng is also not close, the concubine is looking at Liu Er in the master's study and the Cuiqing in front of the sixth girl, they are both diligent and capable girls, it is better for the master to send Liu Er and Cuiqing to the five girls together, and let them go over to help take care of the five girls." Xu Shi said softly, "The master is always the father of the five girls, and the five girls will definitely be able to appreciate it, and I will let the girls in the house go to Qingxin Garden more often, and talk to the five girls." ”
Seeing Xie Ting nodding, Xu said again: "The second sister-in-law told me that as long as we nod, they will come to the house to hire them a year ago, and they will marry the fifth girl and Lu in March next year!" ”
The old lady is an old fox, and she will only hold on to the dozen or so dowry shops to subsidize the big house.
As long as the fifth girl is willing to marry Xu Shenxing, she doesn't believe that the old lady can stop it!
As for Liu'er...... She knows the fox's mind best.
I want to be on top under her nose, but there is no door.
Cui Qing is the person she really wants to stuff into Qingxin Yuan.
……
Xie Jinyi's dinner was a bowl of millet porridge.
After drinking, he decisively put down the soup spoon.
Let Ziyu help her apply the herbs she prepared, bandage them properly, and spread paper and pen on the desk to conceive the layout of the new house, the reason why she chose the house behind the Xie family is mainly for her convenience in entering and exiting, and when the time comes, dig a tunnel from under Qingxin Garden, you can come and go freely, and you will not be discovered.
Just thinking about it, I heard Ziyu's voice ringing outside the door: "Second master, the girl has just changed the medicine and has already rested ......"
Before the words fell, Xie Ting had already lifted the curtain and walked in angrily.
A chill hit.
The candle on the desk flickered.
Xie Jinyi had to stop writing and called lukewarmly: "Father is here!" ”
Xie Ting has no family affection for her.
In her previous life, she was abandoned by Xu Shenxing, but he ignored it, but was still worried about whether her sixteen shops could come back.
Later, the Xu family promised to give him fifty percent of the dividends, and he stopped, and later, Cheng Linyu got married, and he didn't even have these five dividends.
Ziyu served tea.
Xie Ting sat down in his robe, glanced at his black and fat daughter, and his face was full of disgust: "You and Young Master Xu have privately taught and accepted it, and you have done such a humiliating thing, it is really embarrassing, the second master of the Xu family came to propose marriage, it is also for your mother's sake, if you are a sensible person, it will be enough to respond in person, but you are good, but the lion opened his mouth to put forward the conditions, and you have to wait for the young master Xu to ask the prince to be the son of the world, do you say you are stupid?" It is a matter of time before Young Master Xu invites the prince of the world, why do you bother with this identity, just rely on you, what qualifications do you have to make conditions with others! ”
Don't look at your own looks, it's good if someone wants to marry.
"Father, my grandmother has already punished me for my affair with Master Xu, and I have been beaten and banned, and I have been grounded." Xie Jinyi said lightly, "I don't know why my father still brought up this matter, as for the matter of Young Master Xu asking Feng Shizi to discuss his relatives again, it was also his grandmother's consent, if his father is dissatisfied, he should go to his grandmother to discuss." ”
She understood Old Madam Gu's thoughts.
As long as she and Xu Shenxing don't go beyond the bounds, Old Madam Gu will not force her to marry.
"Presumptuous, is this your attitude as a daughter talking to your father?" Xie Ting slapped the table and said loudly, "Let me tell you, you don't have to use your grandmother to press me, in order to cover up this ugly matter for you, it was your mother who scolded Second Mrs. Xu and asked her to tell the public that you and Young Master Xu were discussing marriage, so as to save your face, otherwise, do you think that a board will be fine?" ”
If it weren't for the Xu family, her bastard words of "if you don't marry the prince, you will suffer", would have become a joke in the entire capital.
I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!
"What does Father mean?" Xie Jinyi asked quietly.
Xie Ting has always been indifferent to her affairs.
He came to the door this time, and there was no need to guess, it must have been Xu's pillow wind blowing him over.
