92, grandfather, Huayue quhua nine (two more)
Something big happened to the Xi family, and when I walked outside, I could see two or two people talking about it.
'Hua' Jiu took the initiative to go back to the Bozen Monastery when Xi Huayue's face was not good, although Xi Qianqian wanted to let 'Hua' Jiu pass through the main courtyard together, but was rejected by 'Hua' Jiu, she is just an outsider now, and she doesn't want to participate in the muddy water of the Xi family.
'Chun' Sheng is a steady one, and if 'Hua' Jiu tells her, she has already gone out to inquire about the news.
Although the Bodhisattva Monastery is not big, but even there is everything, 'Hua' Jiu will stand in the study, the whole study is small and clean, neat books are stacked one by one, the sandalwood desk, put the pen to wash the inkstone and the like.
'Hua' nine fingertips stroked the edge of the table, perhaps the reason why she often wrote on it, the edges and corners of the table were brighter than the others, and she could imagine the appearance of Xi Zixiao lifting a pen on it.
There are a lot of books, 'Hua' Jiu looked at it at random, and found that it was all Buddhist scriptures, the corners of her eyes froze, and she flipped up a copy of the Heart Sutra, and then, in an instant, her little face sank, and with a wave of her hand, the book fell to the ground.
The paper flies, and finally it is unmoved, and the picture inside is an obscure Buddhist language, which is simply a pattern of parade miscellaneous notes.
Well, she was blind before, and she was a serious master, and she was envied by his temperament that did not enter the red dust.
'Hua' Jiu thought about what he didn't have, and 'Chun' Sheng pushed the 'door' in, "Girl......"
'Hua' Jiu waited for a long time, but she didn't see 'Chun' Sheng continue, she turned around, and saw 'Chun' Sheng looking at her with a sad face, "Say it." β
"Girl, why is God so unfair to you?" 'Chun' Sheng bit his lip so as not to let himself lose his temper in front of his own girl, "Xi Gongzi is dead."
For a moment, 'Hua' Jiu didn't seem to hear anything, but she seemed to understand everything, her eyes fell on the fake book in her hand, and she heard her own tone without any 'waves', "Speak carefully." β
"The maid just went out to inquire, they said that Xi Gongzi was going to Dongzhouyan County to book next year's raw silk, and then there was news today, Yan County heavy snow closed the road, Xi Gongzi in order to rush back to worship with the girl, regardless of the snow to stop, on the road encountered a snow collapse, was ...... Buried...... I can't even find my body......" 'Chun' Sheng finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at 'Hua' Jiu, for fear that she would behave inappropriately.
However, the 'flower' was stunned for a few breaths, and then the corners of her 'lips' hooked, and there was a ridicule in the pale 'color' eyes.
She put the Buddhist scriptures in her hand back on the shelf, and her eyes were like the "spring" and "flowers" of ice in her eyes, Xi Zixiao set up such a big deception, and did not hesitate to even deceive her relatives who were sincere for herself, such as Xi Huayue, such as Xi Qianqian, in the huge mansion 'door' of the Xi family, these days, she saw that these two people were really good to Xi Zixiao.
Do you want to worship her or something else? She had to think like this, when it was not good to cheat to death, and the partial life was after she came.
'Hua' Jiu didn't even notice herself, from the bottom of her heart, she never thought that Xi Zixiao would die, maybe someone else would die, but Xi Zixiao didn't think so.
At this time, when 'Hua' Jiu just came out of the study, a maid 'girl' hurriedly came in from the side of the small courtyard, but this maid 'girl' was a familiar one, and when she first entered Xi's house that day, she saw it beside Mrs. Xi.
"The old lady invited the girl to the main house to discuss something." When the maid saw the 'flower' from afar, she curtched and saluted, respectfully.
"Please lead the way." Why did the old lady of 'Hua' Jiu naturally come to her in the past, she made a 'look' towards 'Chun', and 'Chun' was alert and never left her side.
The main house of the Xi family, the high hall is hung with the silk silk of the ancestors of the past dynasties, burning incense candles, offering melons and fruits, the old lady and the old lady sit on the couch, and the next is the people in the courtyard of each uncle.
'Hua' Jiu hung her head half-way, her slightly upturned 'lips' were pointed with a shallow smile, her skirt swayed, and she stepped into the house generously, not looking around at all, only saluting to the head, "The 'Hua' family of the 'Hua' family in the capital Ah Jiu has seen the old lady, the old lady, and the uncles and aunts. β
In a word, he greeted all the people in the house.
The old lady's slackened eyelids were only as big as a bean's squint, and he stroked the silver beard, and pulled out a smile, "Sit, sit, sit." β
Saying that, there was a maid 'girl' who carried the embroidered auspicious cloud brocade to move to the front of the 'flower' nine, and the 'flower' nine thanked her, and then brushed off the wide water-sleeved clothes, and sat elegantly on a third of the ground.
Just this action made the old lady's big eyes 'reveal' with approval.
"I don't care about the old man, so it's better for you to talk about this matter, boss." Seeing that 'Hua' Jiu was ready to listen, Old Lady Xi said to a tall middle-aged man with a white face and black beard in his hand.
This person, 'Hua' Jiu, has heard of it slightly, the eldest son of the old lady Xi - Xi Feng.
This generation of the Xi family, to the old lady Xi, there are only two still alive, there are only two families, the old lady Xi was originally ranked fifth, there are brothers and sisters, and now, only the second brother of the old lady is still alive, the two have been separated in the early years, the other old lady is the head of the Xi family, and the two old men are just playing chess.
Most of the things have been 'handed over' to the next generation, the old lady Xi has five sons and one 'daughter' under his knees, the 'daughter' has already been married, and the five sons have to count Xi Zixiao's father Xi Min is the most idle, and he is good at 'sex', because he is the youngest son in the family, he used to spoil a little, so that he 'made' Zixiao such an 'illegal' child.
Then there is the eldest son Xi Feng, people are also moderate and kind, the affairs of the old lady Xi in the house, it is the eldest son Xi Feng, this Xi Feng business means to be average, so many years, the Xi family's silk business has been done in a decent manner, not more than a few points, and there is no loss of half a point, but this in the eyes of 'Hua' Jiu, no progress is regression, it is not obvious now, and in the future, the gap between this and other merchants will be revealed.
"Xi Qi encountered heavy snow to close the mountain, and he couldn't come back recently, we discussed it just now, in order to prevent gossip from spreading and damaging his reputation, he is ready to welcome the girl into the 'door' according to the etiquette of the concubine's room, and after Xi Qi comes back in the future, if he is interested, he will carry the girl as the main room, what do you think, girl?" Xi Feng is a typical elegant middle-aged man, with a white face, a dark beard, and deep eyes, he does not have the 'treacherous' spirit of a businessman, but makes people feel more friendly and trustworthy.
When Hua Jiu heard this, she unceremoniously covered her mouth with her sleeves and hid the extremely mocking smile on her lips, she didn't know what the Xi family was thinking, but she wouldn't take this kind of most loss-making business at all, "But I heard that Xi Qigongzi was buried by the heavy snow, and he couldn't even find his body?" β
As soon as the words of 'Hua' Jiu fell, the others didn't have time to change their faces, and Xi Qianqian, who had been supporting Xi Huayue, whimpered and cried first.
This cry was extremely harsh in the main house where no one spoke, and even the old lady's eyes were a little sharper.
Now that the paper has been torn, 'Hua' Jiu is not ready to talk to these insincere people of the Xi family, she got up and straightened the wrinkled skirt, "I see, my father will come to pick me up and return to the capital in the near future, and I will explain the situation and correct this mistake of marriage, everyone, let's prepare to let Princess Yonghe, who has married into the Ningjun Palace, come back to take care of the spirit of the seventh prince of Xi." β
The faces of the people who said this changed, and they didn't seem to expect the words of the 'flower' nine generals to be so straightforward in the public, knowing that the groom was dead, and calling the princess who married into the county king's mansion to come back as a widow', that is, to give the Xi family ten dares, they didn't dare to do this kind of thing, and for the 'flower' nine, they originally wanted to coax people first, as long as they entered the 'door' first with the gift of a concubine, it was to go or stay and then let her go.
"Entering the 'door' of the wrong husband's house, it's your 'flower' family's fault, why do you complain about my Xifu's head, I see that you are a girl with sharp teeth, you are an uneducated person, who knows if this is the 'flower' house deliberately, let you enter my Xi's big 'door'?" There are always those who can't see the situation clearly and bark 'chaotically', and when they stand up and point at the 'flower' nine noses and scold, it is the third master of Xifuxi, a waste who only knows how to gamble.
'Hua' Jiu sneered, but she didn't say much, just looked at the old lady Xi in the hall without blinking.
Old lady Xi's eyes also fell on the 'flower' nine, the first time he didn't have a smile on his face, he looked squarely at the 'flower' nine, he heard in his early years, the capital's 'flower' family eldest 'daughter' was not welcomed in the house, and he was bullied by his stepmother and sister-in-law, but he looked at it today, but he felt that he was out of sight.
"You go down, the 'flower' girl stays." After a while, Mrs. Xi spoke, she understood the eyes of 'Hua' Jiu, she only talked to him, others, she still couldn't look down on her, she was really a girl with high vision.
"But ......" Xi Feng wanted to say something, but seeing that the old lady ignored him, he only waved his hand and let everyone else go down.
Xi Huayue and Xi Qianqian walked at the end, he wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Xi Qianqian, when he went out of the 'door', he looked back, and saw the slender 'girl' standing in the center of the room, her eyes half drooping, a white dress with peace and indifference, the sun stretched the mottled shadow on her body, she was as quiet as a sculpture, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
"Say, what conditions do you want to stay in Xifu to take care of my grandson's widow." The old lady is very direct and not polite.
'Hua' Jiu squinted her eyes slightly, her expression was like a cat that was just gluttonous and satisfied, and she accepted her claws, but no one could underestimate it, she liked the way the old lady spoke, "The position of wife, allow me the right to enter and leave the Xifu freely, and not interfere in any of my 'private' affairs, of course, I will abide by the 'woman' way, and the authorities will put the interests of the Xifu first." β
Old lady Xi habitually 'touched' her white beard, and the old lady Xi sitting next to him turned her head sluggishly, she rolled her eyes, and the whites of her eyes could see the cloudy 'color', "Hungry." β
The old lady Xi came back to his senses, he patted the old lady's wrinkled face like old bark like a child, and said dotingly, "Good, the old woman will be fine for a while, and I will cook porridge for you in a while." β
'Hua' Jiu took in this scene, and the light 'color' eyes suddenly became a little deeper, and the 'color' of the glass permeated the eye sockets and became more and more like an ancient well.
I heard that everything about Mrs. Xi is the old lady herself, such as cooking porridge, saying that others are not soft and glutinous, and the old lady must eat the kind that is cooked while stirring.
"Girl, you are young, I can't bear to keep you widowed in Xifu for a lifetime, five years, you can leave after five years, I will allow you to be free, no one in this house will stop you, but you need to give up the mulberry garden in Xiqi." The old lady said his bottom line.
'Flower' Nine was stunned for a moment, why is it that mulberry garden again?
At this time, a voice spontaneously explained, "The seventh prince of Xi said that if he is a wife, whether he lives or dies, the mulberry garden belongs to his wife, if not, he will be 'handed over' to the government for confiscation, and the government has a record." β
But it was Mr. Xi, who stood in the corner of the 'door' with the golden abacus, and just now all the people went out, but he was the only one who did not leave.
However, Mrs. Xi seemed to be very accustomed to Mr. Xi's participation in the housework of Xifu, so she didn't criticize him at all, but nodded her head in agreement.
Looking at the face that was so white that it was slightly blue, 'Hua' Jiu's thin eyebrows frowned slightly, although he was only Mr. Bookkeeper, but he participated in all the big and small things of the Xi Mansion like Mr. Xi, but the Xi family was not strange at all, as if, anything, only after he dialed the abacus, he had to think about it before he could act with confidence.
"To tell you the truth, Ah Jiu is not interested in that mulberry garden, but to say something disrespectful, if one day the old lady you leave within five years, Ah Jiu has no one to threaten you, and this mansion says that if you don't let me go, you will naturally not be able to go, so," Speaking of this, 'Hua' Jiu paused, she looked at the old lady whose face was already wrinkled and chuckled, "Ah Jiu is not ready to give up the mulberry garden." β
Just when Old Lady Xi showed signs of anger, 'Hua' Jiu continued, "However, after five years, when Ah Jiu leaves, he will naturally return to the Mulberry Garden, and in these five years, I am too lazy to take care of it, if the old lady is not at ease, I can naturally call Mr. Xi to take care of it on weekdays." β
This means that the title deed of the mulberry garden, and she must want the 'flower' nine, but she does not participate in the mulberry garden.
Old lady Xi thought for a while, and finally nodded, thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only way to work.
Everything is in order, 'Hua' Jiu turned around, and was about to say something with Mr. Xi, when the 'door' burst into Xi Huayue's figure and his clear moon-like voiceββ
"Grandfather, Hua Yue married 'Hua' Jiu!"
