Chapter Seventy-Four: Acquaintances
Shao Yi's various emotions clashed in his heart, and he didn't come back to his senses until the carriage gave way to a stop on the way.
When he came home like this now, he would definitely be noticed when he saw the housekeeper and greeted his mother.
In the past few days, his subordinates have been listening to his orders and revolving around Xia Yanqing's affairs. And today, when he met Xia Yanqing's carriage as planned, he was so depressed that it was really difficult to explain.
What's more, at this time, he really wanted to stay alone for a while and calm down when he saw Ah Can alone.
"Where?" Shao Yi asked through the curtain.
The temporarily transferred servant replied by the car window: "If you go back to your master, there will be Fengxiang Street in front." ”
Fung Cheung Street?
Shao Yi suddenly remembered that he was in Yixian Restaurant that day, and watched the Wang family's welcoming procession pass by, but he didn't know anything about the people in the sedan chair.
If he knew that Ah Can was sitting in the sedan chair that day, even if he turned the capital upside down, he would have to intercept the sedan chair.
Now that nearly three months have passed, I don't know how Ah Can is doing in the Wang family and what his relationship with Wang Xi is.
Thinking about it, since the Xia family girl returned to the capital, there have been no good rumors about her. It is also an indisputable fact that the Wang family is unwilling to marry A Can to enter the door.
In this way, how can Ah Chan's life be good?
Thinking that Ah Can had become another man's wife, and that man didn't cherish her, Shao Yi's heart felt a splitting pain.
"Don't go back to the house first, go to Yixian Restaurant." Shao Yi said. Sitting in the place that hurts him may bring him to his senses faster.
Although Shao Yi is not a frequent visitor to Yat-sen Restaurant, he has been here a few times, and he is the person that the shopkeeper and his buddies must remember.
At this hour, it is the time of the guests in the restaurant, and the guests in the hall are seventy or eighty percent, and the guys in the store shuttle between them, so it is not lively.
As soon as Shao Yi entered the door, Xiao Er greeted him, "Master, you are here, are you a guest, or are you drinking alone, can the little one lead you up to the second floor?" ”
Shao Yi raised his feet and walked in the direction of the stairs as he swept through the hall where the guests were still served.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a familiar and yet unfamiliar figure.
The man had just come in, and as if he didn't want to be seen, he waved away the guy who was welcoming him, and went upstairs. When I walked up the stairs, I looked behind me.
…… It's Liu Dafu.
said familiar, because in the previous life, although this Liu Dafu was only a businessman, he was a very rich man in the world, and he was very comfortable in various powerful forces, and he was very beautiful.
Speaking of strangeness, Liu Dafu was only in his early thirties at this time, much younger than when he met him in his previous life.
…………
The Wang family, the mother-in-law who guarded the second gate saw that the three people who went out in the morning became five when they came back, and said with some embarrassment: "Second grandmother, these two girls...... It's not from our house, is it? ”
It means that strangers enter the house, which is not in order. Seeing that it was dinner time, two girls were brought in at this time, at least today, and the two of them were going to spend the night in the house.
Xia Yanqing nodded, "Well, it's the girl I brought in." If I make my grandmother embarrassed, I just have to report it, and I will explain it to my mother and sister-in-law. ”
She hadn't entered Xuanbei Hall yet, and the second gate had already passed the news in.
Knowing that Xia Yanqing brought in two girls with raw faces, Mrs. Liu and the Yuan family were puzzled and didn't understand what she was doing.
The Xia family recalled the Xia family, didn't it mean that the Xia family had the meaning of reconciliation? Could it be that the Xia family changed their minds about Xia's persuasion, so not only did the Xia family not plan to leave, but brought in two more people.
In view of the presence of Xu Qinghui and Wang Jiayu, Xia Yanqing's request for peace and departure has not yet been decided, and the two of them have not said much.
Xia Yanqing entered the door, gave Mrs. Liu a salute, and met Yuan and Wang Jiayu.
Without waiting for Mrs. Liu to ask, she took out two pieces of deed paper from her sleeve and presented them to Mrs. Liu, "The daughter-in-law mentioned to my mother and sister-in-law before that Mr. Bai's guest house is understaffed. When I went back to my parents' house this time, I accidentally mentioned that I wanted to buy a girl, and my mother said that it was not as good as buying a child outside to know the roots, so she gave her daughter-in-law two girls, which was the deed of the two of them. ”
Hearing the words "family and child", a trace of discomfort flashed on Mrs. Liu's face.
The Wang family has several old servants, and the old servants have their own families. But the Wang family is a small household after all, and it has only come out in the past ten years, and now although there are many servants in the family, most of them were bought by Wang Tao after joining the scholars.
The Xia family, the marriage before Xia Yanqing, was all born to the family. At this time, with only one sentence from the Xia family, the Xia family still gave a child.
With such a comparison, the gap between the Wang family and the Xia family's heritage came out.
This is the girl given by the Xia family, and it belongs to the Qiuyue Courtyard for use, Mrs. Liu took the deed and looked at it, and returned it to Xia Yanqing.
"Since it's for you to use by your in-laws, let's keep it. Remember to teach well, and keep the rules of the house. ”
Xia Yanqing took the deed paper and bowed down to thank him.
Looking at the room again, the atmosphere that seemed out of place because of her presence, bowed again, "If the mother doesn't give any orders, the daughter-in-law will retreat." ”
Mrs. Liu frowned when she heard this, and in the room, Yuan's gaze at Xia Yanqing was also a little more probing.
Wang Jiayu grew up watching the way her mother and grandmother got along. He also began to accept the teaching of being a wife and daughter-in-law after marriage.
Therefore, every time I see Xia Yanqing doing this, I disdain it from the bottom of my heart. How could a woman who was raised by a serious family be so disrespectful to her elders and act recklessly?
Xu Qinghui naturally knows what her daughter-in-law should look like. It is precisely because of this that she asked herself as a daughter-in-law, and she spent a lot of time gossiping and copying scriptures with Mrs. Liu.
Supposedly, she should be happy to be able to act like a serious daughter-in-law, and she is indeed happy. However, Xia Yanqing, as Wang Xi's wife, does not have to serve her mother-in-law all the time, and she can still be free and do whatever she wants, which makes her unbalanced.
Why is it that for others, it is a daughter-in-law of thirty years to become a mother-in-law? And for Xia Yanqing, can a daughter-in-law do so perfunctory and casual?
Therefore, Xia Yanqing's retirement as usual immediately made the atmosphere in the room solemn, and the unfriendly attitude was extremely obvious.
Mrs. Liu and the Yuan family had speculated before that when Xia Yanqing went back this time, what decision the Xia family would make.
But at this time, seeing that Xia Yanqing was still the same, the two of them were suspicious in their hearts: Is Xia's life alive or not?
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Yuan smiled and asked, "I don't know how the in-laws and the lady are doing?" The younger brother and sister went back to their parents' house this time, what did the second elder of the in-laws say to the younger siblings? ”
Xia Yanqing's figure that was about to slip away stopped.
She quickly swept the people in the room, and her gaze stopped for a moment on the faces of Mrs. Liu and Yuan. They're not here for real, are they? With Wang Jiayu and Xu Qinghui present, can you discuss the reconciliation and divorce between Wang Xi and his wife?
