104, the small courtyard called Fuyuan (three watches)
When 'Hua' Jiu saw Mr. Xi coming over, he really still had water vapor on his body, his hair was still moist, he was still dressed in gray 'colored' cloth, with a gold ingot at his waist, and a gold abacus in his hand, ringing all the way.
She raised her eyebrows and said to Xi Wanwan, "The eighth girl is too worried, and Ah Jiu is only dedicated to praying for Qilang." ”
Xi Wanwan nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that the seventh sister-in-law mentioned it in front of my grandfather, and Xiao Bada thanked the seventh sister-in-law from the bottom of my heart. ”
When Hua Jiu heard this, there were 'waves' in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she only nodded, indicating that she knew, so she didn't say anything more.
Xu knew that the other party didn't 'want' to talk to him, and he 'touched' and 'touched' the tip of his nose every night, and he 'exposed' cute little fangs, with a strange feeling of being 'spirited'.
'Hua' Jiu looked away, turned her gaze back to the Taoist priest who was doing the Fa in the field, but she felt quite annoyed in her heart, she thought about it for a long time, calculated a thousand calculations, and raised twelve points of vigilance to the old lady Xi, who would have thought, and finally hit a trick.
'Want' to give the eight girls to Mr. Xi, Mr. Xi is a person of few words, he will not go around to talk about it, and she is too lazy to care about so many things in the Xi Mansion, so there is only Mrs. Xi, deliberately released the matter she mentioned, and also named the eight girls to rest late.
In this matter, in addition to the big house, the people in the other houses may hate her.
Mr. Xi, such a person, is in charge of all the accounts inside and outside the Xi Mansion, and last time he even revealed the handle of the Duan family, who knows how many unknown things he still has in his hands, such a person, sacrificing a concubine 'daughter' can be wooed, such a cost-effective deal is willing to do it no matter which house.
However, such a good thing fell on the head of the big house, the big house uncle Xi Feng has been in charge of the Xi Mansion for many years, which makes people red, and now it is likely that there will be more such capable 'sons-in-law', and all the benefits are taken up by the people of the big house, and the following rooms are naturally jealous.
Moreover, they didn't dare to have an opinion in front of Xi Feng, so they naturally turned their anger on 'Hua' Jiu, which can be described as a 'sauture' that was provoked for nothing, and it was not even good.
From the tip of the slightly upturned 'lips', a little light sigh like a falling feather, 'Hua' Jiu watched the Taoist priest in the yellow robe jump up and down like a juggler, she felt that it was no wonder that Xi Zixiao wanted to go out to worship everyone outside the party as a teacher, so that he would not return home all the year round, such a family was really tired.
At dinner, after finishing the Dharma and taking over the dojo, it was only a few hours of work in the Xi family, and the shadow of Xi Zixiao's existence disappeared, and if 'Hua' Jiu hadn't followed everyone in the main house, she would have mistakenly thought that Xi Zixiao had never existed.
His existence turned out to be so shallow that it was gone before even the wind had passed.
This meal, but it is counted as the end of Xi Zixiao's death, 'flower' nine eyebrows and half hanging her head, sitting at the junior table, although she changed out of mourning clothes, but still wearing plain white clothes, hair bun is also hairpin white 'flower', she is silent, ten girls Xi Qianqian regardless of her mother Duanmu's cold eyes, insisted on sitting next to 'flower' nine, originally the eight girls also wanted to come over, but the concubine is different, all the concubines out of the Xi family The table is placed outside, and even the main 'door' of the main house can't enter.
Most of the vegetarian dishes on the table tasted good, and the 'flower' nine only picked up a few dishes in front of him, and only occasionally moved his chopsticks.
The Xi family adheres to the principle of eating and sleeping silently, but the entire main house is silent, and there is no sound of dishes colliding.
After the meal, there is a maid 'girl' to make tea for the old lady who sits on the high seat, and on his right hand is the old lady, who is so old that the stupid mother-in-law sits there quietly, and does not move, her eyes are cloudy, if it is not for the occasional blink, I don't know and think that I will not inhale.
"From tomorrow, what should be done in this house, the person still does what to do, just remember the rules during the mourning period, don't lose the face of Xifu outside, I gave Xi Qi Mulberry Garden to Xi Qi Xiao Daughter-in-law 'woman', how did you manage it before, how to 'get' it in the future, and the seven little daughter-in-law 'women' will not participate in ......"
Old lady Xi babbled a lot, and the others just listened, and there were a few absent-minded ones, who secretly found a hidden corner, and where Old Lady Xi couldn't see, she secretly lowered her head and dozed off.
The scene of such a family gathering is once every ten days, and most of the time, it is still a room in each room, and it is just a matter of coming to say hello every morning.
'Hua' Jiu also raised her eyebrows, from tomorrow she will close the 'door' and pray for the Buddha to eat and pray for the Buddha, can not participate in the affairs of the Xi family, she is naturally happy, when she thinks so, she feels that her sleeve is being pulled -
When she raised her eyes, she saw Xi Qianqian mouthing at her Nunu, she was startled, and she heard the old lady Xi above shouting her for the second time, "Xi Qi Xiao Daughter-in-law 'Women', Xi Qi Xiao Daughter-in-law 'Women' ......"
"Yes." 'Hua' Jiu hurriedly responded, and woke up in her heart, it was indeed very rare for her to think about it like this, and she thought that the spirit guard had consumed too much 'essence' energy in the past few days, and her body was actually duller than before.
"I'm asking you, what are the arrangements for the future?" The old lady Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, and the eyes with loose eyelids narrowed even smaller.
"Recite the Buddha, copy the scriptures, and pray for Shichiro wholeheartedly." 'Hua' Jiu didn't hesitate to answer, she was now one hundred and twenty points of vigilance against the old lady, this person was too foxy, she had to admit that she couldn't calculate.
"You also have a heart, it's a good thing," the old lady stroked the white beard and praised, and then frowned as if he remembered something, "However, there is no Buddhist hall in the house for you to pray for, and it is not suitable for you to enter the ancestral shrine." ”
Old lady Xi is telling the truth, who will prepare a Buddhist hall or something like that.
"Daughter-in-law, you can do it in the Bozen Temple." Hearing this, 'Hua' Jiu's heart moved, when she first entered the mansion, the four girls of 'spring', summer, autumn and winter knew all the corners of this mansion, and they were afraid that something would 'get lost' and so on.
This will, the old lady mentioned it like this, and she suddenly remembered a place.
"This is not appropriate," it was Uncle Xi Feng who said this, and his elegant eyebrows solemnized, "Since the seventh little daughter-in-law 'woman' is concentrating on Xi Qi, she should find a decent place." ”
'Hua' Jiu sneered in his heart, look at how good this sounds, it's not that she is afraid that she will cause criticism when she has nothing to do, everyone knows that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's 'door', and she is a young and new widow' 'daughter', the best thing is to be locked in Xifu and don't leave for a single step.
"Indeed, is there a more suitable place in our house?" The old lady naturally meant that, but he still thought more far-reaching than Uncle Xi, whether it was from the identity of 'Hua' Jiu's maiden family or the person of 'Hua' Jiu itself, he had thought about it very much.
When he heard this, a whisper of discussion sounded in the main house, but for a long time, no one could tell why.
'Hua' Jiu took a step forward and stood in the center of the room, and her action made everyone's eyes focus on her.
She only lowered her eyebrows and put her hands together, and there was no expression on her plain white face, "A few days ago, my granddaughter-in-law's maid 'daughter' saw a place when she was recognizing the road in the house, and now that my granddaughter-in-law thinks about it, I think that place is more suitable." ”
"Oh?" The old lady's long silver-white shou eyebrows were raised, and his voice was also raised.
Together with Uncle Xi, he also looked at 'Hua' Jiu suspiciously.
"Hua" nine raised her eyes, the pale "color" eyes in the long and curled eyelashes "hair" shadow, the face "color" was a little deeper, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she heard a light and breezy voice, "The small courtyard called Furui in the southeast corner of the house, the granddaughter-in-law heard the maid 'girl' mention, and there seemed to be a Buddha statue in the courtyard." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words of 'flower' nine fell-
The whole main house was even quieter, and even Hua Jiu could feel that all the people were holding their breath, she was suspicious, and when she looked around, she saw that almost all the people in Xifu were looking at her strangely.
The look, as if she was a ghost who had risen from the dead, was terrified in the depths.
"Slap" came with the sound of the cup being brushed off.
'Hua' Jiu looked at it, and it turned out to be the only Xi Huayue in the entire main house who was sitting like the old lady, and knocked over the tea on the desk.
The tea splashed all over his body, and the water stains on his moon-white 'colored' robe were blurred one by one, like the constant shock of the ripples in his clear and moon-like eyes.
He looked at 'Hua' Jiu, his sickly white face became more and more white and frightening, the 'lips' instantly lost all the blood and 'color', and even his thin body was trembling slightly, as if he would faint to death in the next moment.
"That's it." However, the old lady's voice came suddenly, but it was allowed.
At this time, the suspicion in Hua Jiu's heart expanded more and more, because she saw an incredulous look of surprise on the faces of the other Xi family members, as well as the deep pain that flashed on Xi Huayue's handsome face.
