Chapter 70 Compensation
On the day Xu Xiaozhi and Jiang came back, there was an autumn rain in Xiahe Village.
The two of them were very low-key when they came back, and after entering the house, they went directly to the main courtyard to kneel down and plead guilty to Mrs. Xu.
"Mother, we know that we are wrong, we really know that we are wrong." Xu Xiaozhi looked at Mrs. Xu after saying this, and then sighed: "After experiencing this incident, I really understand that the one who will not harm me in this world is my mother." ”
When Xu Xiaozhi spoke, Jiang kept bowing her head and kneeling beside him obediently, until she heard Xu Xiaozhi's words, she looked up at him.
Old Lady Xu had not moved all the time, until this Jiang glanced up at Xu Xiaozhi, she glanced at Jiang and asked, "Jiang, what do you have to say?" ”
Jiang didn't expect that Old Lady Xu would suddenly ask her, she was stunned for a moment, and then said tentatively: "My daughter-in-law is also wrong." After saying this, Jiang continued to look down at the ground and did not continue to speak.
Listening to Jiang's words and looking at her bowed head, Old Lady Xu suddenly sneered, "What? The Jiang family did such a thing, and you sent me away with a sentence of 'you are also wrong'? After saying this, Old Lady Xu looked at the Jiang family and hurriedly raised her head to speak, and hurriedly hooked her lips and continued: "Are you going to say that you don't know about the Jiang family's decision?"
Jiang family, think about it yourself, if the Jiang family takes a fancy to you and cares about you, will they do such a thing? Although our Xu family is down, it is not as good as it was back then, but it is not the Jiang family that is so casually ignored. ”
As soon as Old Lady Xu finished speaking, cold sweat instantly broke out on Jiang's forehead.
She wanted to speak, but she opened her mouth and thought about it for a long time, but she didn't say a suitable word.
"Jiang, Yanzhu is your daughter, I can understand your thoughts when you wanted to give Yanzhu to your nephew, but you think about it yourself, how the Jiang family treated you." After Mrs. Xu said this, she picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip of the special medicinal tea, then looked at the Jiang family and continued: "Why didn't the Jiang family think about it before making such a decision, what should you do in our Xu family in the future?"
In terms of identity, you are not as good as your sister-in-law, in terms of intimacy, you are not as good as the third family, or is it that the Jiang family no longer cares about you? ”
"Mother!"
After Jiang called out this 'mother' in shock, Mrs. Xu stopped talking and turned to look at her, waiting for her to speak.
"Mother, the Jiang family made such a decision, and the daughter-in-law really didn't know." The Jiang family didn't tell a lie, and she was also shocked when she first learned that the Jiang family had climbed into the line of a noble concubine.
After all, her sister-in-law is the concubine of the five princes, and she is not only favored by the five princes, but also the eldest son who is favored by the five princes.
Concubine De's power in the harem is not inferior to the concubine, and the five princes are not inferior to the third prince, but her maiden family gave up the five princes who were related by marriage and took refuge in the concubine line.
"Mother, the Jiang family did such a thing, and the daughter-in-law really didn't know it before." After the Jiang family eased his mood for a while, he looked at Mrs. Xu and spoke, "If the daughter-in-law learns about this in advance, the daughter-in-law will definitely not agree to marry Yanzhu to the Jiang family." ”
After the Jiang family looked at Mrs. Xu and said this, Mrs. Xu raised her eyes and glanced at her, "The Jiang family took refuge in the concubine, in addition to the silver, which daughter did they send into the mansion of the third prince?" ”
As soon as they heard Mrs. Xu's question, Xu Xiaozhi and the Jiang family immediately looked up at Mrs. Xu in surprise.
After seeing Mrs. Xu's perceptive eyes, the Jiang family replied weakly: "She is the youngest concubine, and she has become the side concubine of the third prince." ”
"That's right, if there is no side concubine, the Jiang family is afraid that they will not be so bold to take refuge in the concubine."
After Mrs. Xu said this, Xu Xiaozhi looked at her and said, "Mother, I heard that the Jiang family also looked for the fifth prince before looking for the third prince, but you also know what the fifth prince thinks about his sister, so he ...... later."
"What? Do you still think the Jiang family did nothing wrong? The relationship between them and the five princes is not enough to rely on our Xu family? Is it right to be delusional and go back to your opponent after being rejected? ”
After Mrs. Xu's three questions, Xu Xiaozhi was also stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.
Seeing the strange atmosphere in the room, Xu Shiqiu helped Dong Shu in.
"I remember that the youngest daughter of the Jiang family is two years older than Shuo'er, and she is only fifteen this year?" After Xu Shiqiu said this, he carefully helped Dong Shu to the side and sat down, and then continued: "If the Jiang family is really sincere, Huan'er is the same age as her, and the wife can't do it, and a side room can do it." ”
Xu Shiqiu's words were not wrong, but his true words made Mrs. Xu's anger rise a lot.
Xu Shiqiu seemed to be even more angry when he saw his mother, and hurriedly continued: "Mother, you must not be angry again because of the Jiang family's affairs. After saying this, Xu Shiqiu reminded again: "The Jiang family did such a thing, and we don't know what to explain to our Xu family?" ”
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's prompt, Mrs. Xu suppressed the anger in her heart, looked at Xu Xiaozhi and the Jiang family, and said, "Let's talk about it, the Jiang family has saved the face of our Xu family this time, how are you going to compensate our Xu family?" ”
"Mother?" The Jiang family looked at Mrs. Xu in puzzlement, she didn't understand why the Jiang family still had to compensate the Xu family.
Old Lady Xu became even more angry when she saw Jiang's expression, "I usually say that you are stupid and you still don't admit it, why don't you want to think about it, what will others think of our Xu family after learning that the Jiang family has taken refuge in the concubine?" Although our Xu family is down now, they are not so casually bullied. ”
Old Lady Xu's prompt was clear enough, and Xu Xiaozhi hurriedly said before the Jiang family was ready to speak again: "Compensate for two Zhuangzi of Yanzhu and some silver taels." ”
After Xu Xiaozhi spoke, the Jiang family realized that Mrs. Xu was pulling things on them and giving them to Xu Yanzhu.
She just wanted to say that she was going to leave these things to her two sons, but Xu Xiaozhi had already made a promise first.
"Mother, don't worry, Yanzhu married into the Jiang family this time, and came directly in accordance with the rules of the original match, and I and the Jiang family will also prepare a copy of her dowry, which will definitely make Yanzhu marry in a beautiful way!"
Listening to Xu Xiaozhi's words, Jiang only felt as if someone was holding a knife to cut his own flesh.
"Well, since that's the case, then you have started to prepare Yanzhu's dowry in the past two days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will return to Beijing. Mrs. Xu had already guessed that the Jiang family would compensate Xu Xiaozhi and the Jiang family after doing this kind of thing, so she had already thought about giving Xu Yanzhu a part.
For today's result, Mrs. Xu was quite satisfied, she didn't force Xu Xiaozhi and Jiang too hard, as soon as Xu Xiaozhi relented, Jiang showed a painful expression, and then relented.
After seeing that Mrs. Xu gave a specific time to take Xu Yanzhu away, Xu Xiaozhi and the Jiang family were relieved.
They are really afraid that they won't be able to take Xu Yanzhu away when they come back this time, or hear the news that 'Xu Yanzhu died of illness'.
Jiang's heart is still uncomfortable, but Xu Xiaozhi is familiar with Mrs. Xu and knows where his mother's bottom line is.
Seeing that his mother was relieved, he hurriedly pulled up the Jiang family and retired to rest.
After Xu Xiaozhi and the Jiang family left, Xu Yanzhu, who was hiding in the inner room, came out.
"Grandmother, you were angry again?"
Xu Yanzhu walked to Mrs. Xu's side, raised her hand and patted her back gently, then looked at Xu Shiqiu again and said, "Third uncle, I'm sorry for you to speak today." ”
"Don't thank me, your grandmother was angry with me just now."
As soon as Xu Shiqiu jokingly finished saying this, Mrs. Xu looked at him and shook her head helplessly, "You, what you said just now really made me angry." After Mrs. Xu said this, seeing that Xu Shiqiu's expression remained unchanged and just smiled, she continued: "But my mother also knows that you are telling the truth. ”
"It's the truth, that's why my mother is angry, if not, how can you be angry?" Xu Shiqiu answered when Mrs. Xu's voice just fell, and when she looked at herself and shook her head, she continued: "But don't be angry about other people's things in the future, we juniors are enough to worry about my mother." ”
"Yes, mother, don't be angry." Dong Shu interjected a little nervously, and after seeing that her mother-in-law and father-in-law were not angry after saying this, she hurriedly continued: "Mother, you have to take care of your body, you are not by my side when I give birth, I am afraid." ”
Dong Shujiao opened her mouth softly, not to mention that Xu Shiqiu was attracted by her words, and even Mrs. Xu nodded at her dotingly.
"Okay, when you give birth, your mother will definitely guard you." Mrs. Xu felt that she had a feeling of raising a little more daughter in the past two months, Dong Shujiao's delicate and soft temperament, and with blessings, every time she came to see her, her body would be a little lighter, "But my mother believes that as long as you do what Dr. Du said, you will definitely give birth safely." ”
Thinking that her blessed daughter-in-law would give birth to a granddaughter and two grandchildren in the future, Mrs. Xu was in a particularly good mood.
Mrs. Xu believes that having a blessed mother, her granddaughter and grandson, will definitely be blessed.
Xu Shiqiu guessed what was going on when he saw Old Lady Xu's expression, but he didn't open his mouth to interrupt his mother's imagination.
He also believes that his little lady is blessed, if the little lady is not blessed, how can he wait for the day when his daughter is born?
Xu Yanzhu sat on the side and watched the third uncle and third aunt coax her grandmother happy with a few words, and she was also relieved that she was about to go to the capital.
She is not afraid of what may happen to the Jiang family in the capital, the only thing she can't worry about is the grandmother who raised her.
Originally, the third uncle's special physique was suppressed after having the third aunt, and she could leave Xiahe Village with confidence and go to the capital.
It's just that I don't know if the Jiang family in the capital is ready for her to go.
The Jiang family in the capital
"Mother, I want to let her live in Hanyuan Courtyard after Yanzhu gets married."
As soon as Jiang Han finished saying this, the mother of the Jiang family, who was sitting on the top throne, immediately shook her hand and asked, "Didn't you say that only you could live in Hanyuan Courtyard when you married Su'er?" ”
"How can my cousin compare with Yanzhu!"
"Why can't it be compared?" As soon as the Jiang family's housewife heard Jiang Han's words, she immediately looked at him dissatisfied, "Xu Yanzhu is your cousin, and Su'er is also your cousin, aren't they all cousins, why can't they be compared?" ”
The more the Jiang family's housewife talked, the more angry she became, Su'er's identity was the daughter of the Liang family, how could she be worse than Jiang Qianqian's daughter!
"Mother, I've been happy with Yanzhu since I was a child, and you don't know, if you didn't want me to marry Yanzhu at the beginning, maybe now I have both children and daughters." Jiang Han was also very angry, he had liked Xu Yanzhu since he was a child, and felt that only a woman like Xu Yanzhu could be worthy of him.
It's like my mother's niece Liang Xu'er, although she looks like her mother, but she is rude and willful, and she also smells of copper, which is not worthy of him at all.
Jiang Han was raised by the Jiang family's mother, and what he was thinking, the Jiang family's mother's mother knew at a glance.
"I know what you said, but for you, I went to ask the concubine for marriage according to what you said, and gave Xu Yanzhu enough face, but what about you?" After the Jiang family's housewife finished saying this, she thought for a while and continued: "You gave Xu Yanzhu enough face, but now you are so embarrassed by the Liang family's face? In your heart, is there still a mother like me! ”
"Mother......" Jiang Han was most annoyed to hear his mother say this, and after calling her impatiently, he continued: "But Yanzhu is what I like after all, and you forced me to marry my cousin at the beginning, so my heart is naturally different." ”
After Jiang Han said this, seeing that his mother still didn't let go, he spoke again: "Besides, only by letting Yanzhu live with me can we give birth to a grandson for you to hold as soon as possible, do you think the grandson is important or the face of the Liang family is important?" ”
