Chapter 37: Take the initiative

Jia Shi hurriedly shook his hand, "No, you don't have to, we've already eaten." Today, I want to see the single...... Grandpa, I want to ask him something. ”

The lady in charge smiled and said: "Mrs. Mei, I didn't say it, now that the old Xiucai is gone, it's really inappropriate for you to see our father-in-law, if you have any difficulties, don't tell me, when my wife is a little better, I'll go and talk to my wife, all of them are villagers in the village, and you can help Tie Ding." ”

Jia Shi was in a hurry, how could this kind of thing be told to a lady in charge, she wanted to find Rong Deyi to ask for an understanding, Jia Shi shook his head and said: "We don't want your grandfather to help, there are some things in this, you don't know, the child is not young, and it will be eleven after the New Year, I just want to ask." ”

Before Jia finished speaking, the lady in charge interrupted Jia's words with a smile, "No, children are not small, I heard that Young Master Liang is the same age as Miss Mei." My wife has begun to find a marriage event for the good young master these days, and how many ladies are all unsuitable, whether it is the only seedling of the Rong family, the character of this world, all good students take a look, but I am afraid that the daughter-in-law hired is not suitable, and it is not good for the two families. Where's your lady? Can you make a servant of your own house? ”

The housekeeper covered her mouth and laughed, "Eh, we are even different from you, your child's engagement is later than ours, you don't have to worry, look at Miss Mei's good looks, and she is the daughter of an old showman, her identity is here, you don't have to worry about finding a good son-in-law!" ”

Jia's face gradually turned white, and his mind was roaring, Rong Deyi didn't want to see her, so he sent a lady in charge to send her away, telling her that the Rong family wanted to find a new marriage for Rong Kang, as for her daughter, who she liked to marry...... How can this be? How can you be a man who doesn't talk about faith at all?

"How can you do that?" Jia Shi said the words in his heart, and repeated it unintentionally, "How can you be like this? ”

The lady in charge saw that Jia's face was pale, and she was startled, afraid that something would go wrong with Jia's here, and she would slander the Rong family, and her grandfather's wife complained that she was not doing things well, and she didn't care about hating Jia's from the countryside, so she hurriedly patted Jia's back and smoothed it. Sister Qiu poured the tea on the table and fed it to Jia.

Jia Shi pushed away the palm of the lady in charge, her eyes were red, she held back her anger, and said tremblingly: "Rong Kang is my grandmother, and he has milk to eat, and he only feeds my sister Qiu when he is full." The marriage with my sister Qiu was begged by Rong Deyi from his knees, and now that he has made a fortune, he turns his face and doesn't recognize people, and he looks down on our Mei family? ”

The lady in charge is a little embarrassed, and a little angry, the Mei family is nothing more than a broken country house, where can the verbal jokes be taken seriously, the country girl also wants to marry in and be a young lady, where is the cheeky person? "I said Mrs. Mei Lao Xiucai, you don't like these words! But I don't dare to say that these are not there, it doesn't matter if our young master is a male baby, your lady is a daughter, and her reputation can't be delayed! ”

Seeing that she was going to chase away the guests, Sister Qiu stood up and whispered to Jia's: "Mother, let's go." ”

The lady in charge glanced at the plate of berries on the table, took out the silk handkerchief and poured it into the silk handkerchief, wrapped it up and handed it to Sister Yuqiu, and said with a friendly smile: "Take it home and eat it." ”

Sister Qiu glanced at her, shook her head and said, "No, thank you." ”

The little girl brought by Jia's family was quiet from beginning to end, not like a 10-year-old child, her eyes were dark and clear, looking at her eyes, as if she could see her heart, the lady in charge jumped suddenly in her heart, and hurriedly glanced away.

The housekeeper sent Jia and Sister Qiu out of the side door, and when she was about to go out, she just stuffed a bag of berries in her hand into Jia's hand.

When the door was closed, the housekeeper hurriedly went to Mrs. La's courtyard, and Rong Deyi also happened to talk to Mrs. in the room. Rong Deyi is less than forty, leaving a neatly trimmed beard, and he has already begun to get fat in middle age, with a bulging belly, brocade clothes all over his body, and a few gemstone rings on his left and right palms, which is very blessed.

"Are you sent away?" The second wife married by Rong Deyi leaned on the couch and asked lazily, snorting, looking a little impatient, "It's really endless!" ”

The lady in charge nodded hurriedly, "Send it away, I made it clear to them, and they didn't say anything else, so they were leaving." ”

Mrs. Geng nodded, and most of the impatience between her eyebrows dissipated, "It's still a good thing, I called someone to call the old Tang of the yamen before, if they dare to make trouble, I will lock them into the yamen!" ”

"What are you calling the people from the Yamen for?" Rong Deyi was not happy, frowned and said, "You can just send it away if you understand it, the villagers will spread it ugly!" ”

Mrs. Geng unconsciously glanced at him, "What's so ugly?" How many times have you been back to Little River? Besides, they didn't take care of it in the first place! ”

"What do you understand?" Rong Deyi ate it, "Only by being harmonious can you make money!" We are all in business, and it is not easy to grudge with anyone. ”

"Am I still for Rong Kang?" Mrs. Geng shouted, "Your fellow family doesn't even have a little look, so I don't have the heart to come to the door to ask, what is there to ask, I've come again and again, I've never seen anyone like this!" Shame on you! ”

Rong Deyi also knew that his second wife was full of heart to Rong Kang, the new wife couldn't give birth to a child, so she gave her husband's family a break, and he happened to be her mother's buddy, one came and went, the two looked at each other, Rong Deyi married her, there are a few shops as capital, Rong Deyi is a flexible brain, the idea is getting better and better, and the family business is getting bigger and bigger, but there is always only Rong Kang alone.

"Yes, yes, yes." Rong Deyi shook his hand and asked the lady in charge again, "Have you given Mrs. Old Xiucai money?" ”

The lady in charge screamed badly, and at that time she was in a hurry to leave, and forgot about it, and confessed in embarrassment, "I forgot to give." He added: "I don't want to give it, I gave the berry bag on the table to the little lady of the Mei family, she didn't want it." ”

Rong Deyi didn't take it too seriously, it didn't matter if he gave it or not, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be a backbone!" ”

The lady in charge laughed with her, thinking about the pair of black and clear eyes, and said: "The long Sven is white, and he must be a beautiful person when he grows up!" ”

"Country girl, how good can it be?" Mrs. Geng didn't take it too seriously.

Rong Deyi thought about Mei Lao Xiucai ten years ago, and the old Xiucai was full of spirit, full of ambition, full of self-confidence, and was ready to take the exam, who thought about it ten years later, and finally became a handful of loess buried in the grave, and couldn't help but feel nostalgic: "Things in the world are impermanent, feng shui takes turns, that Mei Laoxiu is a filial and honest person, and he said to no one at all, it's difficult!" It's a pity that it's gone! ”

Mrs. Geng pursed her lips, "What's the use of being filial and kind?" The life given by God is too bad, and others can't be blamed. "The poor and poor old Xiucai, I heard that all the money was left for his aunt and grandmother for his old man to study, some food was left for his two nephews, and his daughter-in-law and daughter had nothing, fortunately Rong Deyi is not such a man, otherwise she would not be like Mrs. Mei Lao Xiucai, she is really unlucky.

The servants said a few more words, and the matter of Jia's coming to the door did not cause any waves in the Rong family, so it passed.

Coming out of the Rong family, Jia Shi walked out with Sister Qiu's heavy steps, her face was blank, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Sister Qiu looked at Jia's ghostly appearance, and expected that after today, Jia's should finally wake up from the dream.

"Sister Qiu, let's not go home first, let's go to your uncle's house and sit down." Jia Shi preached to Sister Qiu.

Sister Qiu was a little surprised, "Didn't you just go the day before yesterday, why did you go again?" "It's not good to go empty-handed, and the two of them have a total of 100 centimeters of private room, which is not easy to use.

"Let's find your uncle and father, and find him to go to Rong's house to preach and preach." Jia said, "Your uncle is a man, so it's more convenient than our mother and mother." ”

Sister Qiu dragged Jia's to sit down on a secluded street corner, squatted in front of Jia's, and persuaded: "Mother, my uncle is a small grocery store, and the Rong family runs a big grain store, and the brocade shop on the upper and lower floors, I heard that all the shops have opened in Huyang, how can he be willing to listen to the eldest uncle's preaching?" Let's go back, mother, I'm so scared of you like this! ”

Jia Shi covered his face, buried his head in the crook of his knees, and raised his head for a long time, his eyes were red, he smiled at Sister Qiu, touched Sister Qiu's face, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's not good for your mother." I won't take you anymore, and my mother won't go, so we'll live a good life at home. She kind of understood, the Rong family really didn't plan to recognize this family, even if she gave up her face and quarreled with a shrew-like door, the Rong family was so rich, just call a few people to throw her out.

She is not a good mother, her daughter is not bad, her arms and legs are diligent and sharp, and she is the daughter of an old Xiucai, she will definitely be able to marry a good family, she was too delusional before, and she was too delusional, and her tired daughter followed her to lose her ugliness and look down on the Rong family.

Although she went to the town, she didn't get the result that Jia wanted and made her lost, but she felt that her daughter was closer to her heart.

When he got home, Mao sat in the courtyard with the soles of his shoes, watched her come in, glanced at Jia's expression, and knew that the Rong family must not have recognized the marriage event, so he was annoyed in his heart, hating this daughter-in-law for being useless and lacking in energy, and asked with a sarcastic smile: "What?" Coming back? Is it clear, how much dowry does Rong Deyi plan to give to your daughter? ”

Jia's embarrassed face turned red, and he pushed Sister Qiu and asked her to go into the house, Mao is a person who is angry and desperate for everything, just trying to scold himself, where can he say such words in front of his daughter?

"Mother, I ...... today. I didn't see Rong Deyi and his daughter-in-law. The Jia family originally wanted to say that the Rong family did not agree, but they were afraid that the Mao family would be angry with Sister Qiu, so he temporarily changed his words and stumbled and said: "Rong Deyi's daughter-in-law is sick. ”
