Chapter 68: Inquiry
Sending the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out of the second gate, Mrs. Jiang took her two daughters-in-law and returned to her yard with a heavy heart.
The three of them entered the room in silence and sat down.
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Jiang said in a muffled voice: "Yan Qing doesn't know what happened to the Wang family, it's really worrying." Let's talk to the Wang family as soon as possible, let Yan Qing come back, and let's ask what's going on. ”
After a pause, he continued with some annoyance: "Mama Li, I picked people who acted competently. How do you know, Yan Qing has been married for so long, and he is in such an unsatisfactory situation, these ...... I didn't even know how to bring it back! I really misread them! ”
Although Mrs. Jiang spoke calmly, the melancholy between her eyebrows and eyes was extremely obvious.
Yang and Gao glanced at each other, and they both knew that the sister-in-law had been lost for many years, which made her parents and her husband especially worried.
Now that my sister-in-law has been married for less than three months, she threatens to divorce her husband and even asks for a divorce. It's impossible to say not to worry.
Yang took the new tea cup from Qiu Wen's hand, handed it to Mrs. Jiang, and explained, "Don't worry about Mother, things are probably not that bad. You also said that Mama Li was specially selected by you, but you didn't give us a message to the house, and the husband also asked Mr. Bai, and also said that my sister-in-law was okay.
There must be something hidden in this, you first sent a letter to the Wang family, and only when the sister-in-law comes back and listens to the sister-in-law's explanation can you make a conclusion. ”
Gao also comforted on the side: "Sister-in-law is." The daughter-in-law looked at it, after the sister-in-law got married, it was different from when she first came back, and she was very assertive. The sister-in-law has the dowry of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, as well as the husband invited by the eldest brother, if the situation is miserable, she will definitely be able to spread the word. ”
The two of them comforted one after another, so that Mrs. Jiang felt a little at ease.
Not to mention what happened when Xia Ke's father and son came back, on the second day of Mrs. Liu's visit to the Xia family, Xia Yanqing received a message from her mother's family and asked her to go back.
The Xia family is Mama Zhang, who is serving Mrs. Jiang closely.
Mrs. Liu instructed her subordinates to invite Mama Zhang into the reception room of Xuanbei Hall, and after a few polite greetings, Xia Yanqing arrived.
In front of the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mama Zhang explained her intention: The little nephew and niece in the family miss their little aunt, and Mrs. Jiang hopes that her aunt and grandmother can go back.
This was originally discussed by the two families before, and Mrs. Liu agreed with a smile.
Xia Yanqing was stunned at first, then became happy, got up and bent his knees to Mrs. Liu, and said "Thank you, mother" in his mouth.
Mama Zhang came with the instructions of the housewife, not just to talk, to ask Xia Yanqing to go back. I also have to take a step to see how my aunt and grandmother are doing at her husband's house.
From Xia Yanqing entering the door, this time, he was calm and quiet everywhere, and his mind was peaceful, how could he be a little awkward with his husband and couldn't live his life?
When Mama Zhang was surprised, she also put her mind at ease, no matter what the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meant by visiting the Xia family, as long as the aunt and grandmother were not wronged, and there was no malaise and emaciation of relatives, nothing else mattered.
…………
With the consolation of the Yang family and the concubine, and Mama Zhang seeing that her daughter was all right, Mrs. Jiang's anxious heart calmed down, and she only waited for her daughter to come back.
On the day Xia Yanqing returned to her parents' home, not only Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the Xia family, but Xia Ke's father and son also took leave, waiting for the married aunt to come back in the house.
Because Xia Ke was also there, Mrs. Jiang didn't want to leave her husband behind and went to wait at the door. I had to accompany Xia Ke and sit in the Yonghe Courtyard, the main courtyard of the Xia family, waiting for the maid to return.
Xia Zixi, Xia Zitang and Xia Yanqing are the same generation, they don't have so many etiquette constraints, and they are worried about her situation at her mother-in-law's house.
Xia Yanqing's reply was that he had come back at the beginning of the year, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the time came, and the mother-in-law who was going on had already reported in: the aunt and grandmother had returned, and the carriage had already entered the gate.
Xia Zixi and the others had not yet reached the second gate at this time.
Xia Zitang was a little drumming in his heart, and said to Xia Zixi: "Is the little sister waiting to go home for a long time, so she will rush early?" ”
Xia Zixi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Our little sister's mother's family, if you can be a moment earlier, you will naturally be a moment earlier." Instead, he asked Yang, "What about Brother Han and Sister Xi?" Are you ready to meet your aunt? ”
Yang said with a smile: "I was detained in the house by my mother, saying that I wanted them to come out and make trouble, but I was afraid that my sister-in-law would have to go in for a while, for fear of delaying her work." ”
Everyone in the group laughed.
Walking to the second gate, Xia Yanqing had already gotten off the carriage, and when she saw several brothers and sisters-in-law coming out, she hurriedly walked forward a few steps to say hello.
This is not the place to speak, and the mother is waiting anxiously.
Xia Zixi and the others saw that Xia Yanqing's face was moist, his temperament was hearty, and his condition was better than the last time they saw him, so they put away their worries, and after they saw each other, they said a few words, said some gossip, and walked towards Mrs. Jiang's Yonghe Courtyard.
Although Mrs. Jiang, who heard the return, did not come out, she did not sit in the high hall and wait for Xia Yanqing to meet her.
As soon as Xia Yanqing entered the Lama Courtyard, Mrs. Jiang took a few steps forward, grabbed her hand, looked up and down for a long time, and asked thoughtfully: "How are you at your in-law's house?" But have you been wronged? This is our own home, if you have any grievances, just tell your mother, your mother will always help you. ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Xia Yanqing to explain, and then looked at Mama Li and Xinshu who followed behind, and said angrily: "How did I explain to you before?" Yan Qing was wronged at her mother-in-law's house, why didn't she know how to hand a letter back at home? I really misjudged you! ”
Mama Li and Xinshu were stunned, and then they repeatedly bent their knees and pleaded guilty, claiming that they had failed to live up to their wife's trust, but they complained bitterly in their hearts.
Their second grandmother is becoming more and more assertive, she doesn't let her send back the news, how dare they? Besides, where did the second grandmother get wronged?
Since entering the Wang family, the second grandmother has always done whatever she wanted, and she often talked about the young lady of the landlord's family.
Although he was a little blind at the beginning, the second master of the Wang family did not come to the second grandmother's room, but he couldn't stand the second grandmother not going to his heart, and he left the second master angry more than once.
Xia Zixi and the others felt helpless when they saw Mrs. Jiang's chatter. They all saw that their sister was very good-looking, why did the mother turn a blind eye and think that her daughter had been wronged?
Behind, Xia Ke stood under the eaves porch and coughed heavily, so that Mrs. Jiang's emotions recovered, "Yes, yes, Yan Qing just entered the door, go and see your father first." ”
Xia Yanqing had a gap and looked at Xia Ke standing under the veranda.
Xia Ke had a rare smile on his face, and when he saw her coming, he smiled before turning around and going back to the house.
Entering the room, Xia Ke and Mrs. Jiang sat down, and Xia Yanqing officially saluted his parents and brother and sister-in-law.
There are also maids and nurses with Xia Zixi's pair of children, and they have seen Xia Yanqing's aunt. Xia Yanqing also hugged his nephew and niece, and gave gifts to the two little guys.
Everyone had something on their minds, and when everyone at home had completed the etiquette, the maid served refreshments, and Mrs. Jiang sent the maid and the mother-in-law away, and also coaxed Xia Han and Xia Xi to let them go out to play.
There was no one in the room, and Mrs. Jiang asked about business.
"A few days ago, your mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to our house and said......"
Mrs. Jiang recounted the words of Mrs. Liu and the Yuan family that day, and at the end, asked, "Yan Qing, is what your mother-in-law said true?" ”
In the room, everyone else's eyes also looked at Xia Yanqing, and there were different expressions of concern, expectation, and worry.
Xia Yanqing was originally full of confidence and thought that he would be able to succeed in lobbying.
At this time, they looked at it like this, but they were a little weak-hearted. Everyone in her mother's family cares for her and pities her, but she ...... It seems that I am looking for trouble and causing trouble to my mother's family.
Xia Zixi saw her embarrassment first, and asked, "Little sister, what else do you think?" It's okay, say it, let's figure it out together. ”
