Chapter 009: Fighting Whose Family (9)
This mama is a reliable person, and this crying is not fake.
The "old aunt" she said was Shi Ximo's grandmother. It was this old aunt who took care of Shi Ximo until he was seven years old. Shi Ximo thanked his grandmother, and after her death, he collected all the jewelry she wore before her death.
This old lady serves the old aunt, and she is also conscientious. So the old aunt's old things are taken care of by her. The old aunt also has some good things, many of which are very valuable. It's been good, but now it's been stolen, which can be seen to be weird.
Na Yuquan's chest was pressed against the sharp sword dyed by Liu Jian, and he was very angry. But I didn't dare to have a very seizure. Liu Jianran can play swordsmanship, and his martial arts are also very strong. Yuquan has taught him how powerful. Liu Jianran is not afraid of heaven and earth, he regards Ximo as a close friend, a person who is willing to stick a knife in the ribs for his friend.
Yuquan material and Liu Jianran may not dare to hurt him, but they need to see the color.
It's just that there are also people in the forest. In front of all the servants, Liu Jianran embarrassed him like this, which really made Yuquan angry. Once the seeds of hatred are planted, they are difficult to remove.
The arrival of this mama buffered Jian Ran's attention.
"Brush ......", he put his long sword into the sheath and looked at Ximo with a frown, "Anyway, your residence hasn't been robbed for a long time." ”
Sword dyes loyalty.
In broad daylight, this thief is so rampant that it is annoying and hateful.
Ximo's face was very solemn.
"Get up and speak!"
He motioned for Mama not to continue kneeling.
This grandmother is still crying, and it is not good to take care of her, and according to the rules of the Shifu family, she will be thrown out immediately.
"Uncle, it's all the old slave's fault. The old slave shouldn't be a little old, and he doesn't get up carefully for a while. She thought about it and knelt down again, begging Shi Ximo, "Uncle, if you want to drive the old slave away, the old slave has nothing to say, just ask the uncle to be kind, let the old slave clean up, and bring some scattered silver that he usually accumulates, so that he will not end up on the street......
This grandmother is so afraid, it is nothing more than that some time ago, Yuquan's mother, Aunt Sun, took away a girl who combed her hair, and immediately sent it out, and she couldn't bring her clothes and hairpins. That girl is a child of the family, her mother and brother are all on errands in the house, because she is a close-knit girl, different from others, she takes a big place everywhere, and her words are not diligent, which provokes Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun immediately picked up people. This girl was ashamed and ashamed, and everyone in the family lost face because of her, and they didn't dare to intercede for her. When he left the house, he had no money in his hand, and he was thirsty and hungry, and he fell down in the street in a few days.
Now that he was dead, his family came out crying and collecting the body.
Aunt Sun rewarded one or two pieces of silver, which was used as funeral expenses.
When Mrs. Shi learned about it, she just said to the left and right: "In the end, Aunt Sun is a cool person. If someone is at fault, she should be punished, no matter who she is? Governing the family is like this.
The history is also complicated.
Because Shi Ximo's mother, Mrs. Yu, has not asked about family affairs for many years. Shi Yuan is in charge of external affairs, and he only entrusts his mother with internal affairs. Favor expenses, money compradors, the old lady has a general account room.
In recent years, the old lady has become older. Elderly people are not in good spirits, and they have nothing to do but want to have more pastime. Since Aunt Sun entered the house, especially after giving birth to Yuquan, she has shown great interest in trivial household affairs. Although I don't plan to do it, I also have the ability to remember it. But whatever the old lady handled, she had to have the heart to write it down. Every few days, if she pretended to talk about it casually, she was praised by the old lady and praised her for being a meticulous person.
Shi Yuan had three concubines.
One of them, known as the eldest aunt in the house. She is the same age as Mrs. Yu and is Mrs. Yu's dowry. Mrs. Yu and Shi Yuan did not have a harmonious relationship, and after giving birth to Ximo, their relationship became even weaker day by day. When she decided to go to the Buddhist hall, she gave Shi Yuan a wedding girl beside her.
Over time, this girl gave birth to three daughters to Shi Yuan in a row. Now these three young ladies are all older, and they are all waiting for the boudoir.
There are two left, one is Aunt Sun, and the other is Aunt Wen.
Although they are both aunts, they have differences.
Aunt Sun is a good concubine, hired from outside. Shi Yuan also gave a dowry. Although she is from a small family, her father was born in Xiucai, but her ancestors also served as prefects, only to her father's generation, and the family is in the middle.
Aunt Wen is a girl born in the family.
The side room hired outside has a higher status than the aunt who is righted by the girl.
In addition, Aunt Wen has never given birth to Shi Yuan, and her status is even lower.
Aunt Wen relied on having a son and being favored by her husband, so she didn't look at Aunt Wen at all.
Aunt Wen is also quite self-aware, and she doesn't quarrel in everything, but just avoids it. For most of the day, except for greeting peace, he just stayed in the house, like a living dead.
Mrs. Shi took a fancy to Aunt Sun's ability, so she gave her privileges, handed her the key, and ordered her to act as the head of the house. Aunt Sun took the key, and continued to flatter the old lady on the surface, but secretly coveted her.
One day, if you can be the wife of Shifu, then you can really raise your eyebrows.
In fact, in the eyes of the rich and noble people in Jiangcheng, those who know the details of the history are all jokes. Shi Yuan was confused, and this old lady was also confused. If you have a wife, how can you let a concubine be in charge of family affairs?
Nahan, after Mrs. Yu found out, she just smiled faintly.
Mrs. Jade has a maiden family. Her younger brother Yuding, stationed in the frontier, was a first-class general in the former dynasty. When I heard about this, I questioned Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan smiled bitterly first, and secondly smiled bitterly.
Yuding knew the inside story, and he could only give up thinking about it.
For Aunt Sun, although her son Yuquan is favored, he is a concubine because of his identity. It was a thorn in her heart.
Now this grandmother is afraid because she thinks of the girl who was thrown out.
This makes Liu Jianran unbearable.
Shi Ximo couldn't bear it either. He comforted his grandmother: "It's not your fault if you lose it." It is the thief who deserves to be punished. You go back. In the future, be careful in everything. ”
He knew that this grandmother was also a bitter person. Her husband is dead, and she has no children. If you really want to leave the house, even if you have a few pieces of silver on hand, once you spend it, you will still go to the street to beg for your life.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle......" Mama burst into tears.
"Let's go down."
The willow sword said: "I know that you have always been a bodhisattva. If this thief can successfully steal Jin Chuan, he must be familiar with the layout of the grass house, and he will only be an inner ghost. ”
Liu Jianran said firmly.
"So, do you have a way?"
Liu Jianran approached Ximo and whispered a few words.
The two of them answered one by one, and looked at Yuquan beside him as if there was nothing.
Yuquan was indignant: "I said, are you finished? It's better to leave here quickly, and after a while, a craftsman will come. ”
Liu Jianran wanted to draw his sword and threaten again.
Yuquan instinctively took a step back, but it was only for a moment, and when he thought about it, he puffed up his chest and made a gesture of dissatisfaction.
Ximo said: "What if I don't agree?" ”
Yuquan frowned.
"Bamboo forests are originally a grassland industry. It has always been supervised by the subordinates of the grass house. If you want to build a stage, why do you have to be in the forest? ”
Yuquan was stunned. "Why not? The old lady also agreed. ”
Whenever Yuquan acts, he always likes to put on the name of Mrs. Shi.
Ximo said steadily: "The old lady is the old lady, I am me." ”
"What do you mean? The old lady has answered, what can you do to me? Yuquan glared.
"The scenery of this forest is very good, and the bamboo shoots are also good. Once after the rain, there are many fungus mushrooms. You cut it down to build a stage and make fun of yourself, but it's also a tyrannical thing, and I don't allow it. ”
"You...... You...... You wait, I'll tell the old lady......" Yuquan was angry. He knew that the grass house was quiet, so he built a stage here, not only to demonstrate like Ximo, but also to disturb his tranquility.
"There you go." Ximo's expression was calm.
"Of course I'm going. Now my craftsman has found it, and the silver has been cast, and the bamboo has been cut down, but you shake your head. Su Ri, don't you don't ask about these trivial things? ”
Looking at Yuquan's frowning face, Liu Jianran couldn't help but smile. He said "haha" a few times, hugging his elbows. He understands Ximo's temperament, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is only introverted, just subtle, but he is not free to be bullied. In fact, Yuquan couldn't bully him at all.
"Then I'll ask today."
"You...... Why don't you give in? Isn't it just about building a stage, are you more serious about it? ”
There is a difference. Although Mrs. Yu does not take care of family affairs, she is the wife after all. When the emperor was alive, he was the canonized lady of the Decree. And Mrs. Yu's maiden home is also the home of the eunuch. Ximo's uncle Yuding is also a member of the famous military generals of the dynasty.
Yuquan has no confidence here. His grandfather, a broken showman. What's funny is that although Yuquan is jealous of Ximo, when he is playing in the wine shop outside, he is facing a group of wine-colored friends, but he brags about how his uncle's family is glorious. Those who know the details just laugh. I don't know the details, but I was also stunned by Yuquan's words.
"It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. My forest here is only for recreational walking, and occasionally picked for food, and not for any other purpose. Also, the bamboo you asked someone to pull out must be restored for me. You can remember my words. ”
Yuquan couldn't listen anymore.
"I'll just go to the old lady. When the old lady comes, it's up to you how you end. ”
Ximo couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you a deaf ear to my words? Hugh said old lady, even if the emperor comes, I will not give half a point. Why should you alarm the old lady and disturb her good sleep? ”
Between Ximo and her grandmother, although the relationship is indifferent, this family affection is still there.
"Humph! Who told you to get along with me! Yuquan flicked his sleeves.
"I have my principles."
"Your principle is to oppress me. Shi Ximo, if you are a child, you will not wait to see me, and you will oppose me everywhere. To put it bluntly, you bullied me for being born to a concubine, and I was not born in my wife's belly! ”
Ximo sighed even more, and then smiled bitterly.
"Your food and clothing are all on me. The old lady and father also love you. How can I bully you? "Yuquan is stubborn, but favored. In Shifu, the person who is really isolated is him.
Although he is the eldest son, he is a real father who does not love his mother. The lack of love in childhood created his deep and introverted personality. The care and love given to him by his grandmother is indeed like a bright light in the middle of the night, which makes him feel warm when he thinks about it.
