157. A widower, a widow
Mama Su came, Shang Li also came, and there was also a person from the 'flower' nine accidents - Xia Chu also came.
As early as when the letterhead was sent to the capital, 'Hua' Jiu had already bought a two-entry courtyard at the distance of the two main streets of Zhaozhou Mansion, and the house was not big, but it was enough for Mama Su to live.
The yard was cleaned up by the four girls in 'spring', summer, autumn and winter a few days ago, and some green plants were replanted in the yard, which is also comfortable to look at.
"Mama, how was the journey?" 'Hua' Jiu and Mama Su sat on the couch together, holding the hand warmer in her hand, her eyes were bright like a cat, and at this time her whole body was full of warmth that only the early 'spring' has.
"What's wrong, the shopkeeper is 'very' taking care of the old slave," the wrinkles on Mama Su's face were full of wrinkles and smiled, her flabby eyelids drooped, and she looked at the eyes of 'Hua' Jiu kindly and cherished, "Girl, why have you lost weight?" It must be that the girl in the autumn harvest didn't take good care of the girl, so let's watch for a while and 'pump' her palm. ”
"No, Mama," Hua Jiu put down the stove in his hand and took Mama Su's rough hand, "The four of them have been trained very well by you, and I use them very easily." ”
Hearing that 'Hua' Jiu said this, Mama Su was relieved.
"Mama, how was it in the capital when you left?" This is actually what 'Hua' Jiu wants to know the most, she has been married to Zhaozhou for more than a month, and the road is far away, but now the situation in the capital is not known at all.
Thinking about it, Mama Su's face sank suddenly, "Girl, 'Hua' Zhi has returned to the capital from Zhang's house in Pingzhou." ”
This sentence shocked 'Hua' Jiu's heart, she really didn't expect that 'Hua' Zhi would be able to return to the capital one day, "Mama, tell me in detail." ”
Su Mama nodded, "About half a month ago, 'Hua' Yefeng suddenly went to Pingzhou, and took the initiative to help 'Hua' Zhi propose and leave, and then 'Hua' Zhi was brought back, and within a few days, 'Hua' Zhi began to frequently participate in various poetry banquets, incense tasting or something, and before the old slave came, it was also rumored that the 'flower' family planted several precious incense 'flowers', and I don't know what variety it was. ”
'Hua' Jiu was silent, she half-closed her eyes, turned the stove in her hand, and exchanged it for the slightly cool palm of the ironing, but she had a thousand thoughts in her heart.
She didn't expect that 'Hua' Zhi could return to the capital again, and after 'Hua' Zhi went back, the 'Hua' family spread that the precious fragrant 'flower' was planted, and the incense made with the precious fragrant 'flower' was not the only 'flower' incense!
The people of the 'flower' family have always been only good at perfumery, and the talent of 'color' like 'flower' Mingxuan is also worthy of a little planting technique, which is only limited to ordinary fragrant 'flower' varieties.
But 'Hua' Yefeng not only went to Pingzhou to pick up 'Hua' Zhi in person, but also helped her take the initiative to propose and leave, 'Hua' Yefeng is like a person, 'Hua' Jiu knows that if he doesn't have enough bargaining chips, he will definitely not do this.
Thinking about it this way, the truth of the matter is very simple, 'Hua' Zhi must have obtained the ancestral planting technique of the Zhang family in Pingzhou's Zhang family, otherwise how would 'Hua' Yefeng be willing to move.
However, 'Hua' Jiu has to say that 'Hua' Zhi is really lucky, you must know that she married into the Zhang family instead of 'Hua' Zhi in her previous life, and she also got the planting technique after being a cow and a horse for more than a year, but 'Hua' Zhi is only half a month.
However, how can the planting technique be so good, others only know that it is the ancestral inheritance of the Zhang family in Pingzhou, but no one knows that the planting technique is divided into two parts, the upper part of the record is the general planting habit 'sex', as long as it is compared, it can generally be planted, and the lower part is the most magical 'fine' of the whole planting technique.
'Flower' Jiu is sure that 'Hua' Zhi only gets the upper part, and you must know that the lower part is not recorded in paper books at all.
She was able to get it all at that time, and it was just a coincidence.
"She's a good deal." Thinking about it, 'Hua' Jiu said this rather ironic remark.
Mama Su sighed, "Who said it wasn't, by the way, girl, 'Hua' Rong may have to sit in the position of the head of the 'Hua' family." ”
If the news of 'Hua' Zhi surprised 'Hua' Jiu, then 'Hua' Rong definitely surprised her, "How is this possible?" How can he be perfumed if he is abolished by me, if he can't make perfume, he is not qualified to sit in the position of the head of the family, not to mention, the fragrance talent of 'flower' Mingxuan is far higher than him, how can 'flower' allow him? ”
"It's not clear," Mama Su shook her head, "It's spread all over the capital, which means that Xuan Gongzi can't make incense anymore, he doesn't leave the 'door' of the hospital all day long, and he doesn't even go to the incense room, no one knows what he is doing hiding in the yard, but it's a 'flower' Rong, you can hear about him everywhere, no one knows about his broken fingers, every time the incense he makes is more and more strange, and now the incense products sold in the 'flower' shop in the capital, as long as it is said to be 'flower' Rong modulated, it will be snatched up as soon as it is put out." ”
'Flower' Jiuyi was stunned, and there were slight 'waves' in her heart, but it was not easy to make a conclusion, many things were not witnessed with her own eyes, she would not easily believe it, for example, 'Flower' Mingxuan could no longer mix fragrances, for example, the incense products prepared by 'Flower' Rong were getting better and better.
She knows the talent of 'Hua' Rong, that is, a middle-class qualification, she doesn't believe that he can concoct a strange fragrance at all, and it is difficult to say that someone is '' behind it.
"Did the 'Hua' family talk about marrying the Zhaozhou Feng family?" 'Flower' Nine then asked.
Mama Su frowned, "That's not true." ”
After feeling that the hand warmer in his hand was not as hot as at the beginning, 'Hua' Jiu threw it away in disgust, "Mama, you monk Li will live here first, and after my dark incense building reopens, Shang Li will help me take care of it, and you will help me go to Xiaotangshan to look at the courtyard." ”
Mama Su nodded with relief, looking at the white 'jade'-like little face of 'Hua' Jiu, there was a sad 'color' on her face, "My girl, why is she so miserable, not to mention marrying to such a far land, and becoming a widow when she is newly married, how will you live in the future......?"
"Mama, the master of the Xi family has promised me that he will let me go in a few years, and then we will live together in the other courtyard in Xiaotangshan, and I will provide for you for the elderly." 'Hua' Jiu patted the back of Mama Su's hand and comforted her.
Mama Su's mouth moved a few times, and what she wanted to say turned into a sigh after all.
In the afternoon, 'Hua' Jiu took Shangli to Nanxiangfang City for a walk, and 'handed over' the general affairs of the Dark Xianglou, and then started to be the owner of the house with peace of mind.
It is said that early this morning, the Feng family cut off all the spice supply of the "flower" family incense shop, and Wang Chong of the "flower" family incense shop is also ruthless, when even the silver finds the "mixed" boss.
At noon, when there were few people in the market, the 'bastard' boss broke into the Feng family's spice shop with a splash of people 'blinded', and without saying a word, he smashed it and even injured the guy.
At the end, the 'mixed' boss and the others left as quickly as the 'tide', and when the officials arrived, they only saw a scene of chaos.
Although everyone knew that Wang Chong was looking for the 'mixed' boss to do this, the 'mixed' boss was 'blinded' when he acted, so there was no definite evidence at all.
The Feng family suffered a dark loss.
When Hua Jiu heard this, she had a gloating smile in her eyes, and then walked with Shang Li to the 'door' of the Fangtou Incense Guild, and she saw that Wang Chong's brother, Master Wang, had just had a meeting.
As soon as her heart moved, her careful thinking became active, and she turned her head to 'Chun' Sheng and instructed, "Go and check if this Master Wang has made incense for the 'Hua' family incense shop, and what has been concocted?" ”
'Chun' Sheng responded, and when she saw that 'Hua' Jiu Subai had that kind of light smile on her face, she understood that her girl was going to cheat people again.
When Mama Su arrived in Zhaozhou, 'Hua' Jiu didn't let the people in Xifu know, and the courtyard was naturally hidden from everyone, she was the last to return to the mansion in Youshi, and just after entering the courtyard, she saw the fifth lady Duan, her mother-in-law, standing in the courtyard.
The eyebrows as thin as willow leaves were slightly raised, and the 'flower' nine pairs of Duan clan actually went to the Bozen Monastery in person today, and they were really surprised, she was disgusted in every way because of Xi Zixiao's identity as an 'illegal' child before, let alone this courtyard.
"Mother-in-law." 'Flower' Nine still saluted, hung his head slightly, and looked extremely submissive.
"Daughter-in-law, this is ...... Just returned? Duan didn't sit either, just stood like that, and I don't know how long she had been here.
"Yes," 'Hua' Jiu responded, and her breathing was not 'chaotic' at all, "The daughter-in-law didn't know that her mother-in-law was coming over today, so she kept her mother-in-law waiting for a long time." ”
Duan waved his hand, and then stepped forward very naturally and cordially to grab 'Hua' Jiu's arm, and looked at her carefully and carefully, "Although the master asked you to take care of some incense, don't be too tired, you still have to pay attention to rest when it's time to rest, things can't be done." ”
Hearing the whispers, it is comparable to the care of the biological mother.
'Hua' nine eyelids moved, and the thick curly eyelash 'hair' fluttered like a small fan to block all the eye 'color', "Got it, thank you mother-in-law for your concern." ”
But on her face, she still made a very surprised and moved look, and 'Hua' Jiu even sniffed.
"I'm fine, I'm passing by here today, and I'll come and see you by the way." As he spoke, Duan reached out and straightened the broken hair on his sideburns for 'Hua' Jiu, moving gently.
'Hua' Jiu just didn't move, letting Duan's closeness go.
"Now we have five rooms, your father-in-law is not angry, lingering all day long, your eldest brother has been alone for a long time, and he has no personal care for him, and you, such as the age of 'flower', have to bear these for Xi Qi, my mother's heart is very sad, the Xi family is so big, and our house is thin, your father-in-law's concubines are not serious, I will not let them give birth to children......"
Duan Shi said without a word, as if he was talking about family life, and when he talked about emotional sadness, even his eyes were red.
'Hua' Jiu didn't speak, didn't choke and didn't follow it, it was really strange for the Duan family to come over suddenly, what kind of calculation did she have in her heart, it was better for her to say it herself.
Duan's said for a long time, seeing that 'Hua' Jiu didn't say a word, he was even more displeased in his heart, but now 'Hua' Jiu is in charge of the Xi family's most profitable Xiangxiang, and there is still a mulberry garden in his hand, which must not be offended, "Daughter-in-law, you are going to be empty, or go to see your eldest brother more, there is no one to accompany him all day, I am only worried that one day he will suddenly ...... like Xi Qi."
It seemed that she couldn't go on, Duan Shi stopped, she 'pulled' out the handkerchief in her sleeve and rubbed the tip of her nose, "You are both alone, and you are a family, and you will be everywhere in the future......"
'Hua' Jiu was suspicious in her heart, Duan's wanted her and Xi Huayue to be everywhere? That's what it means.
One is a widower and the other is a widow.
The real purpose of these words could not be what she thought, right? Besides, Duan didn't like her as a daughter-in-law from the beginning, and the whole Xifu knew that now he suddenly came to say these words with an affectionate attitude, which made people suspicious.
Xu saw that it was late, or maybe he said everything that should be said, and Duan said that it was time to go back.
'Hua' Jiu sent her out of the hospital with filial piety, watching Duan's back disappearing step by step into the dark night's 'color', and the mottled shadow on her face was even stronger.
