152. I can't live this day
Although it was said that everyone had dinner together in the past, 'Hua' Jiu was still used to let the autumn harvest make some food for himself first, and he would eat six or seven minutes first, even if he didn't eat anything to the ancestral house, he would never be hungry for a while.
She habitually looked up at the dim sky, and then tightened the cloak on her body, this Zhaozhou winter is damn cold, and it doesn't snow, so it has been freezing all the time, it really makes her feel very difficult, if she can, she doesn't want to go out of the 'door' all day, hiding in the room or the incense room, after all, she won't be blown by the wind.
"Girl, the new jacket that the maid 'girl' made for you will be ready in a few days, and if you bear with it, it won't be cold when you wear this year's new cotton." 'Spring' Sheng helped 'Hua' Jiu to take off the corner of her cloak, and said with relief in her mouth, she had never seen such a person who was afraid of the cold, as if she only wished that there was only 'Spring' Summer and Autumn in a year.
'Hua' nodded her head, and was about to say something, when she saw an old mother leading a child slowly approaching from a distance, and the child looked carefully, and she suddenly recognized that it was a ripple of Yaya's breath.
Since Liu Qingqing died, she hadn't seen this child for a long time, although she knew that most of them were not Xi Zixiao's species, but she still found an honest old mother to take care of her, and whenever she had a reasonable request, she agreed to it, and she never treated her badly.
"Mother......" As soon as Yaya approached, she tilted her little head to look at 'Hua' Jiu, her round eyes like pomegranate seeds were slightly dull, but fortunately, she still knew how to call people.
"What's wrong with today?" 'Hua' Jiu squatted down and 'touched' the soft horns on the top of the girl's head, and the soft touch like the fluffy 'hair' of the young beast made her a little lovely.
As if she didn't know how to answer, Yaya pulled the hand of the old woman surnamed Qin.
Old Mother Qin is a person personally selected by 'Hua' Jiu, in her fifties, she has brought countless children, she is very experienced, and she is also practical and diligent, she bowed to 'Hua' Jiu before saying, "The little girl heard that the old slave unintentionally said that today is the Laba Festival, and every family wants to drink porridge, so she thought of coming over to find Mrs. to spend it together." ”
The look on Hua' Jiu's face deepened for a moment, she raised her eyes to look at Yaya, and the almond eyes smiled amiably, "It's my mother's fault, I forgot it, Yaya wants to spend Laba Festival with my mother?" ”
Yaya's little head nodded, and the voice of 'milk' said angrily, "If my mother doesn't live with Yaya, my mother will live with Yaya, okay?" ”
'Hua' Jiu stroked Yaya's hand and paused, this child is only about three years old, and he doesn't understand what death is all about, he just thinks that Liu Qingqing has gone elsewhere for the time being, and he will come back after a while.
'Flower' nine hearts are compassionate, although she is ruthless to people, but in fact, she is the most soft-hearted to children, they are born pure and kind, and people 'befriend' with the least malice.
"Come, would you like to go with your mother to say hello to your great-grandfather?" 'Hua' Jiu said, and reached out to pick up Yaya.
Fortunately, Yaya still remembered who her grandfather was referring to, she grabbed the 'hairy' side of Huajiu's cloak and nodded heavily, "Yaya, you must be very well-behaved, and your mother won't leave." ”
Hearing this, the tip of the nine noses of 'Hua' floated with a sour meaning, it seemed that with Liu Qingqing's death, Yaya instantly became more ignorant and sensitive to know some things, although she said that she was not clear, but there should be uneasiness in her heart.
"If my mother doesn't leave, my mother will accompany her until we grow into beautiful girls." 'Hua' Jiu actually doesn't mind raising Yaya at all, just opening her mouth to eat, she can still afford it, even if Yaya is not Xi Zixiao's flesh and bone in the end, she feels that it doesn't matter now.
When 'Hua' Jiu walked to the ancestral house with Yaya in her arms, she actually had a thin layer of fine sweat all over her body, and she felt cold in an instant, and the people in the other rooms had already come.
The old lady Xi was not obviously happy or angry, and the maid timidly called out to the grandfather, but still won a smile from the grandfather, and got a few gold 'naked' as gifts.
Yaya was very happy, Lai refused to sit at the table outside with Qin's mother in the arms of 'Hua' Jiu, and 'Hua' Jiu also relied on her, so she simply let her sit in her arms, and she could take care of it when she ate.
Although she was taking care of the maid, she had already looked at the situation of the whole house when she entered the 'door', and she keenly found that the second master and the second lady in the second room had not come over, of course, the fifth master in the fifth room was naturally not there, and it was estimated that the ghost was 'touching' and where the ghost was 'mixed', and the old lady still had a thick account book in his hand.
Thinking that the 'fine' degree of this meal tonight will only be comparable to the Hong's 'door' banquet, people like Xi Erye, from his appearance today, know that he has suffered a lot in prison, and now I don't know where to know that it was the old lady and himself who 'got' him in, but I am afraid that the resentment in my heart has long been suffocated into a volcano of stupid 'desire'.
And tonight, it's going to be a good time to break out.
'Hua' Jiu thought so, and suddenly felt a cold gaze sticking to her, she took advantage of the situation, and unexpectedly saw a pair of black and white to the extreme, as if the whole person was also black and white to monotonous eyes, that is, the eyes of the five girls in the big room.
Finding that she was noticed by 'Hua' Jiu, the five girls smiled at 'Hua' Jiu, with a reserved and elegant expression, but also a hint of disdain.
The slightly upturned 'lips' are a little more upturned, and the corners of the 'flower' nine mouths are hooked, and the white 'jade'-like face has a clear light of 'Meng' and 'Meng', which is moist and not real.
This night was really interesting.
"Yo, why don't you eat it? Could it be that they are all waiting for my second master? "An abrupt discordant voice came from the 'door', at this time, Xi Erye was clean, his hair was neatly curled, he was wearing a brand-new blue 'colored' satin round-necked robe, his hands were cut behind his back, and he had a very mocking expression on his face.
'Hua' Jiu's eyes were sharp and he noticed that the tips of the fingers on the account book of the old lady Xi were bent, and that was angry.
"Father, the son is bold," Second Master Xi ignored the 'gloomy' face under the old lady's beard, and arched his hand and said, "Every year, there are dividends to be shared in each room of our Xifu, and the son wants to withdraw this year's dividends in advance from his father." ”
As soon as these words fell, the whole room was instantly quiet, as if all the people had even slowed down their breathing, and they all hurriedly lowered their eyes, not daring to look at the master.
"What's your use?" The master slowed down for a long time before asking, his tone was extremely low, and he couldn't hear any other obvious emotions.
"Hmph, what's the use of me, of course it's to do a little business like the other brothers." Second Master Xi walked to the table, as soon as he pulled out the chair, he sat down at will, and at the end, he also cocked his 'legs', and his movements were obscene, how could he have the appearance of a child.
"Bang" All the dishes and chopsticks on the table that the master slapped jumped up, and the silver-white eyebrows trembled, as if he was very angry, "I still don't know how to repent, haven't you suffered enough?" I knew I should have locked you up for the rest of my life! ”
In the past, he was the most afraid of the old lady in this family, but now he has resentment, so he is bold, and he always feels that the old lady can't stand him, "Yes, not only to close, but also to expel me from this big 'door', or how to unite some sluts to calculate your own son!" ”
Xi Erye was a slut, and when he was scolding, he deliberately glanced in the direction of 'Hua' Jiu, who knows, 'Hua' Jiu didn't hear it at all, Quan Dang was bitten by a mad dog, in addition to finding the opportunity to kill the mad dog, is it possible to bite back endlessly?
The master was completely angry, he grabbed the Ru kiln thin tire blue 'flower' gold-edged bowl in front of him and smashed it at the second master of Xi, the bowl was still riding the hot porridge, it was really going to be hit, it must be bleeding and blistering.
Now the second master of Xi is willing to stand still and let the master smash it, he dodged and dodged, and said loudly, "Today, if you want to admit that I am your son, you will support me with dividends, or if you don't admit it, then you will happily expel me from the second master." ”
The old lady was immediately speechless by this rebellious speech.
'Hua' Jiu raised his eyebrows, and saw that the girl in his arms seemed to be quite scared, so he asked the old mother Qin who was standing on the side to take the girl out for a walk first, and then come in when it was time to eat.
After the girl went out, the old lady looked at the second master Xi with deep eyes for a long time, and finally he sat back on the chair and suddenly threw the thick account book in front of Xi Luan, "Mr. Xi has left the house today, and in the future, the large and small accounts of the Xi family will be managed by the girl, and the dividends of the second room will not be allowed to be withdrawn this year or even in the future." “
'Hua' Jiu looked at Xi Luan's face and took the account cautiously, and at the end, she actually grinned in the direction of 'Hua' Jiu.
'Hua' Jiu's heart moved, it turned out that the source of the strange sight just now was here, and this was a provocation with her? However, she is not interested in accompanying Xi Luan, and she has never been rare in the Xi family's things, except for Mulberry Garden, of course.
"Are you really trying to 'force' your own son to death?" There was 'yin' ruthlessness in Second Master Xi's voice, his eyes were vicious and resentful, as strong as ink, and even water did not melt.
The old lady ignored him, only picked up the chopsticks, took the porridge re-filled by the maidservant', and said to everyone, "Let's eat." ”
Immediately afterward, there was the sound of Suosuo's movements.
'Hua' Jiu stirred the bowl, and told 'Chun' Sheng to go to Yaya to come back for dinner, only to turn around and see Uncle Xi staring at the account book in Xi Luan's hand with a gloomy gaze.
Although Mr. Xi used to be the account office of the Xi Mansion, but the things he was in charge of were indeed very many, as large as the annual purchase of raw silk by the Xi Mansion, and as small as the estimated total monthly expenses of the house, although the Uncle Xi was the head of the Xi family, but the cash that could be active in his hand was far less than that in Mr. Xi's hand, and Mr. Xi was directly to the old lady to return to the affairs, and would not go through him at all.
"Okay, I'll go out of the house on my own today, let the people outside judge and judge, and see if there is a father in this world who wants to 'get' his own son to death." The second master of Xi was heartfelt, he was ruthless tonight to withdraw this year's dividends in advance, and he didn't know what kind of calculation he was making in his heart.
Old Lady Xi's hand with chopsticks trembled, and he only instructed indifferently, "Come on, guard the big 'gate', and don't allow the second master to go out of the house without my permission." ”
These words have already indicated that they want to put Second Master Xi under house arrest.
The second lady saw that things were getting out of control, so she hurriedly stepped forward and carefully pulled the second master.
Clinker, Xi Erye lifted his sleeves and brushed away the second lady, he was angry, his subordinates were not serious, this time he really pushed the second lady to the ground and hit the sharp corner of the table with a bang, and the forehead was bleeding instantly.
Someone screamed in fright, and the old lady immediately slapped the second master in the face, who knew that the second master didn't know to repent at all, he didn't look at the second lady of the second lady, like a poisonous snake, he viciously scanned the people in the room, and finally left angrily.
The maid 'girl' stepped forward and brushed the second lady to the side, and the second lady, who was half-unconscious and half-conscious, cried out at once, "Master, I can't live this day, my daughter-in-law asks to go, please have mercy." ”
But she wanted to take the initiative to leave, and when Mrs. Xi said this, even 'Hua' Jiu was surprised.
The old lady didn't speak, didn't say yes or disagree, he only glanced at the second lady, his body was depressed, and silently took the hand of the old lady next to him, rubbing back and forth.
This is, I can't even sigh.
