Chapter Eighty-Nine: Far Away
The reason why Wang Tao went to the house was very simple, as soon as he went home today, he listened to Yuan's information about Aunt Xu's fall this morning.
Without too much analysis, just thinking about what Xia Yanqing said when he left, Wang Tao grasped the general situation of the matter.
In addition to his impatience with Xu Qinghui's behavior, there was also the sleek and unscrupulous nature of Mama Tang, which also made Wang Tao introspect: he had to practice his eyes to see people.
Mama Tang was found by someone he asked someone to find, and he heard that this upbringing grandma was strict and self-controlled, so he invited her to come and plan to use it frequently. But I didn't expect that once something happened, Mama Tang's true nature would be revealed.
Whether she chose to stand on the side of the main mother's forces because of the situation at the time, or she had a gap with Xia Yanqing, she wanted to take the opportunity to step on it. This behavior undoubtedly shows that Mama Tang's conduct is not as decent as people say.
But when things got to this point, as the head of the family, he really didn't have the face to push the matter on the two women's families.
Helplessly, he, the head of the family, had to come to apologize in person, hoping that Xia Yanqing would not be angry for a while and make the matter known to everyone.
Xia Ke and Wang Tao are of the same grade, but Xia Ke is more than ten years older than Wang Tao, and he intersects with Wang Tao's father, so Xia Ke only waits for Wang Tao on the path not far from the living room.
Wang Tao took the little servant and followed the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion all the way. Seeing Xia Ke from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The junior has seen Lord Xia." If you are rash and rude, I hope you will forgive me. ”
Xia Ke stretched out his hand to help him, "Lord Wang is polite." He didn't say much at the moment, let Wang Tao enter the living room, and sat down as the guest and host.
Wang Tao knew that he didn't come to drink tea and catch up, and Xia Ke didn't have that good mood to receive him. Before the little servant who was serving the tea left, he said, "The junior is here to ask Lord Xia for the sake of this morning's incident. Lord Wangxia doesn't care about the younger generation's lax governance of the family, so that Ling Ai is in danger of being framed. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and took a deep snort.
Although Xia Ke was not moved, he also politely got up and returned the salute. After some humbleness, they sat back.
Wang Tao continued: "It's really that my Wang family and second brother are not blessed. Ling Ai is so smart and generous, being able to marry the second brother is the blessing of my Wang family, but this matter is ...... Alas, it went astray at the beginning. ”。
Wang Tao sighed fiercely.
He's really heartbroken right now.
He felt that for the sake of the future of the Wang family, he had to let Wang Xi marry a vulgar woman as his wife, which was really wronged by his second brother. But now it seems that with Xia Yanqing's intelligence and open-mindedness, marrying his bookish second brother is really married.
On that day, he made people stare at Zhang Dazhuang, Xia Yanqing's companion.
After a long return, Zhang Dazhuang took a package wrapped in a box from his daughter-in-law and went to Xia's house. When he returned from Xia's house, Zhang Dazhuang was carrying an identical package in his hand.
Wang Tao can be sure that the contents of the package must be different.
Combined with the fire that burned in the Wangjia Guest House for more than ten days a few days a few days ago. He guessed that Xia Yanqing must have burned a rare type of pottery. Because she had already had the idea of going, she was afraid that the things would be left in the Wang family, and she couldn't tell when she counted her belongings, so she sent the pottery back to her parents' house in advance for safekeeping.
If the quality of the pottery in the box is much higher than that in the main room of Xuanbeitang, Xia's talent should not be limited to reading, if she has outstanding pottery making skills, she will definitely be able to earn a lot of money for the family.
Such an excellent daughter-in-law, but the Wang family could only let go and watched her leave.
Xia Ke looked at the undisguised regret and regret on Wang Tao's face, and was very happy for his daughter.
"This is also the fact that the two children have no fate and are reluctant to come." Xia Ke said, "As for today's matter, Lord Wang doesn't have to mind. The little girl is open-minded and will not do that unforgiving thing. As long as the Xu family of your mansion no longer maliciously advertises Yangzi's false frame, the little girl will not hold on to the past. ”
Wang Tao said "don't dare" and "won't" repeatedly. He heard Xia Ke say that Xia Yan was open-minded, and Xia Ke couldn't hide the comfort on his face, and he felt extremely bitter in his heart.
Xia Ke is not wrong, Xia Yanqing's words and deeds during this time in the Wang family may not have the dignified and graceful beauty of a woman from a big family, but she has an open-mindedness and calmness that women rarely have.
After agreeing with Xia Ke on the follow-up matters, Wang Tao said goodbye and returned home. I went to say hello to my mother first, and then went back to Yuan's main room.
Yuan helped him change his clothes, served him to sit down in a low place, handed over tea, and then sat aside and asked, "What did Lord Xia say?" ”
Wang Tao picked up the teacup in front of him, took two sips sullenly, and then said: "Originally, this family affair caused a lot of harmony, and both the second brother and the Xia family were at fault, but the second brother's fault was greater. Who would have thought that Xu would give such a play again. ”
Wang Tao paused, his expression was very displeased, "Fortunately, my posture is low enough, and Lord Xia didn't say anything." ”
Heli was proposed by Xia Ke to him, and it had been discussed, he didn't have to go through this experience, but he was implicated by the Xu family and came to apologize to his in-laws who were facing Heli.
Xu's background is limited, so he can only stare at the square inch of the inner house. This vision is too far from Xia's.
Yuan asked, "What about the book of harmony?" When should I go to the Yamen? "It's better to end this kind of thing as soon as possible, so as not to cause it again.
Wang Tao said: "Tomorrow, the Xia family will come, let the second brother write a contract, and send the housekeeper and the Xia family to the yamen together." You have a few more people here to help Xia's subordinates sort out her belongings. Let them take the things, and if they want to come to the Xia family's heart, they will never covet the small profits of our house. ”
"Oh." Yuan Shi answered, thinking that the place in Qiuyue Garden would be empty in the future, and his heart was stunned.
On the same day, the courtyard was arranged for the Xia family, and several people discussed, and chose the Qiuyue Courtyard next to the guest house. Probably their starting point was wrong, which led to today's ending.
"Now that Xu is confirmed to be pregnant, you see, her identity ......" Yuan looked at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao's face was cold, "The Xu family has taken on the reputation of a virtuous lady for nothing. Since she entered the door, she has not thought about the second brother and our house, and today she made such a stupid move to frame the Xia family...... Let's keep it as it is for now, and it can be regarded as a warning to her, and then correct it after the child is born. I want her to know that this is just my Wang family's order to let the child have an identity as a concubine. With her words and deeds during this time, she is not qualified to be the second brother's wife. ”
…………
In the past few months since Xia Yanqing married into the Wang family, he rarely went out. Shao Yi took great pains to send two thermometers to the backyard of the Wang family, but they were returned the next day.
Shao Yi was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but he was helpless.
On this day, when he heard that Xia Yanqing was going out again, he hurriedly packed up and went out, and sat down in a teahouse on the way Xia Yanqing had to return to Wang's house, in order to create another chance encounter.
However, he stayed in the teahouse all day, and felt that his stomach and intestines were scraped by water. Seeing that it was getting late, the person he was looking forward to meeting had not yet come out of Xia's house.
Seeing that the teahouse was about to close, the shopkeeper and the guy of the teahouse glanced at his table with sad faces, but they didn't dare to speak.
Shao Yi had to get up suspiciously, arrange for someone to continue to stare tomorrow, and he returned home with a few suspicious little guys.
The next day, as if to compensate Shao Yi for a day's absence, things took a turn for the worse, and a steady stream of news was sent to Shao Yi in the teahouse.
