Xia Ke bowed and replied: "Yesterday, the Jiang family took their two daughters-in-law to the Ningguo Mansion for a banquet, and Yanqing stayed at home to play with the two children, but accidentally caught a cold and fell ill. ”

Old Madam Lu snorted coldly: "It's really time to be sick!" ”

Xia Ke and Mrs. Jiang did not make a defense, and saluted their parents and brother respectively.

It's really time to get sick, yesterday Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came back and said what happened at the birthday banquet of Ningguo Mansion, Xia Ke knew that the old mansion would definitely speak, and immediately invited Lang Zhong to come to the house, and left a cold prescription to boil out the smell of medicine in the courtyard.

Sure enough, I used it today.

Although Xia Bin was annoyed, the second son was an official of the imperial court after all, and he had already achieved the fourth grade, and there was still a huge space for promotion in the future, so it was really not good to be too harsh.

He waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down on either side.

There was anger in Mrs. Lu's eyes, such a son who disrespected his parents and clan, he should let his wife kneel in the ancestral hall. How can you let them sit down and talk so lightly? I don't know what to do!

Xia Bin first asked Mrs. Jiang: "You are in charge of the inner courtyard, what happened to the glass jewelry discussed at the birthday banquet of the Ningguo Mansion yesterday?" ”

Mrs. Jiang replied: "Those are a few pieces of glass that were accidentally sintered when Yanqing fired pottery. Yan Qing saw that it was useless, so he hired a polishing craftsman, cut it into glass particles and polished it into shapes, and sold it to Baotai Yinlou. ”

"A few pieces of glass that were accidentally sintered?" Sun Shi couldn't hold his breath at first, and said sharply, "Second sister-in-law, do you really dare to say that if the glass can be burned out by care, can it still be called a treasure?" ”

Madame Jiang ignored Sun's overstepping question.

Xia Bin also glanced at the Sun family warningly, and asked Xia Ke instead: "With such a large business, you actually didn't inform your parents and clan, and handed it over to a daughter's family without authorization, do you know that this matter is inappropriate?" ”

Xia Ke bowed: "Yes, please ask my father for advice." ”

Xia Ke's answer choked Xia Bin speechless for a long time.

To be reasonable, Xia Ke should have defended a few words, and then he was reprimanded by his father, in this case, he said what was wrong with him, and then told him what he should do, so that it was natural and reasonable.

But in this situation, does he want to ask for the business in his granddaughter's hands directly?

How could he speak?

Mrs. Lu didn't have Xia Bin's concerns, seeing that he was choked by his son, she disdained it in her heart, and this father was too cowardly.

"Ming Yu, although Yanqing said that he was reconciled and divorced, he was still young, so he should stay in the boudoir and say goodbye when he remarried. Glass jewelry is very profitable, and without stable support, it will inevitably be coveted and plundered. At that time, let alone Yanqing, even your father, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may also be ruined by the tired family. ”

Xia Ke maintained a posture of leaning, did not raise his head, and did not respond.

The mother-in-law can casually say such cursed words, but he is a son, but he can't question the mother-in-law, this is filial piety.

Seeing that Xia Ke was silent, Xia Chen couldn't sit still, and frowned: "Second brother, can't you hear that your mother is worried about the safety of your family?" Let Yanqing hand over the method of making glass to the clan, and let the clan take care of it, and give you a certain share of the profit every year. Why not sit and take dividends without taking risks? ”

Xia Ke then spoke: "Mother, I understand what the eldest brother means, and I also know that my mother has good intentions. It's just that when the glass was burned before, Yanqing didn't know what to do with it, as if she had entrusted her current shopkeeper, Mr. Bai, to find someone to cooperate outside.

It was the collaborator who gave the polishing utensils and the style of the glazed gemstones, so that Baotai Yinlou could buy them all. This is not Yanqing's business alone, whether it is his son or Yanqing, it doesn't matter if he says it in this matter. ”

"You ......" Xia Bin pointed at Xia Ke, his hands trembling a little.

Old Madam Lu was also very angry, put the teacup in her hand on the table, and said angrily: "You are really your father's good son!" Glass is a rare thing, since the glass is burned, there are difficulties that need to be found to cooperate, but aside from their parents and relatives, the benefits are given to outsiders. Do you and your daughter know what your last name is? ”

Seeing this, Xia Ke stood up, took his robe and knelt on the ground: "Because of our negligence as parents, Yanqing has gone through ups and downs for more than ten years. On the day of the banquet, we didn't give her a lot of dowry. Now she does not rely on external forces in this business, she is running it herself. The son implored his father and mother to let her do this business by herself, and if she has money, she can live a smoother life after the feast. ”

Mrs. Jiang also hurriedly knelt beside Xia Ke and begged: "I hope that father and mother have pity on that child." ”

Xia Bin stood up angrily, "Your mother is really right, you are really my good son!" With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

His good son, this is an allusion to his granddaughter's business, which makes him unspeakable, let alone speak.

Xia Chen watched Xia Bin leave and said angrily: "Second brother! You don't know what to do, my father is thinking about your family, you are separated, if you are calculated, you are powerless to resist. ”

Old Madam Lu asked coldly: "Second child, you mean that your father and I want to plot your daughter's business, right?" ”

"My son doesn't dare." Xia Ke kowtowed.

"What are you afraid of? It's clear that you dare very much! Old Madam Lu snorted coldly.

Sun took over, "As long as the second sister-in-law mentions the family affairs of her children over the years, she cries and cries, saying that the banquet is pitiful. Now, the person has been found, and her father has also found a lovely family for her. It's because she doesn't live a good life and insists on making trouble and leaving. It's already this time, and the second sister-in-law still asks us to pity her. Tell me, where is she pitiful? ”

In the face of Xia Bin and Mrs. Lu, Xia Ke and his wife didn't dare to be too disobedient, and the Sun family actually came to reconcile, who did she think she was?

Mrs. Jiang raised her head and asked the Sun family: "If Yanqing is now the wife of the Wang family and has done such a business, can we still go to the Wang family to ask for it back?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Lu angrily smashed the teacup at Mrs. Jiang.

Xia Ke hurriedly turned sideways to cover it, and a cup of tea and even the tea cup smashed on Xia Ke's body.

Xia Ke kowtowed again with the tea stains on his shoulders, and said stubbornly: "Mother is angry, the glass business has cooperated with others, and it is really not up to us to have the final say, my mother and father will be a banquet and now do business in my husband's house." ”

Old Madam Lu stared at Xia Ke and his wife, her eyes kept flickering, and she asked in a deep voice, "Who is the person who cooperates with Yanqing?" ”

Xia Ke: "My son doesn't know, when my son goes back to inquire about Yanqing, he will immediately reply to his father and mother." ”

Old Madam Lu waved her hand resolutely, "No need, listen to your tone, as if we as parents really want to plot against you." As a son, you are disobedient to speculate so maliciously about your parents. Kneel for two hours and return home on your own. Your daughter-in-law turns to the ancestral hall and kneels, when will she know where she is wrong, and when will she get up again! ”

As he spoke, he stood up.

Hum! When will Xia Ke's father and daughter hand over the glass practice, and when will the Jiang family go back!

Xia Chen and Xia Lin also stood up, bypassed Xia Ke and his wife, and walked out.

Behind them, Xia Ke's voice sounded: "It's the son and the Jiang family who are rude and willing to be punished." The son and Jiang went to the ancestral hall together, and when Jiang could repent, we left together. ”

Old Madam Lu's footsteps froze, and several people stood down at the same time.

The reason why Xia Ke was allowed to kneel for two hours, instead of kneeling with the Jiang family until they were willing to hand over the glass, was not because he liked Xia Ke's son, it was because Xia Ke was going to the court tomorrow.

Xia Ke accompanied the Jiang family to kneel together, and even delayed the court, wouldn't today's incident be known to everyone?
