Chapter 36: Housing is a Big Problem (2)
It seems that Aunt Xiao Wu has been neglected again, and the Fang family has not arranged her house. Just now living by the water, Xun Qingran saw Aunt Wu going in and out of Xun Shuzhi's house. But no matter what, it was impossible for Aunt Xiao Wu to squeeze into Xun Shuzhi's house, so she came to Fang's to ask for a place to live.
Fang clan snapped and slammed the tea bowl in his hand on the table.
"Leave you at home, Nuo Da Mansion, where is not enough for you to live. You are willing to be lowly, pretending to be a mother-in-law and squeezing into the boat of the next people. Must come along, and now complaining that there is no place to live. Don't look at it, now the master can only live in the study, the girls are crowded in a courtyard, and the second master still lives in the guest room. You're used to making your own decisions, so you can tell me where you want to live. ”
"Madam, the slave and maid already know that they are wrong, and the slave and maid are really reluctant to give up the second girl. …… Ask the wife to arrange a place for the slave and maid to live. ”
Aunt Wu knelt on the ground and cried with a sad face.
Xun Shufang looked at it coldly, Xun Shulan laughed out loud, Xun Shuzhi blushed, lowered her head and didn't speak.
"Aunt Xin's yard is big, and she is the only one who lives, so you can go and accompany her." Fang's Road.
Aunt Xiao Wu was not stupid and thorough, and hurriedly begged again: "Slave maid, slave maid is willing to stay in this courtyard to serve his wife." ”
Fang Shi sneered, "When have I used you to serve, if you don't want to go to Fenglin night, then go to the master's study to serve the master." ”
Aunt Xiao Wu lowered her head shyly, Master Xun had long been tired of her, and he would not let her enter the study at all.
"Just ask the wife to be gracious, so that the slave and maid can guard the second girl......"
Xun Qingran frowned secretly, Aunt Wu didn't listen to Fang's arrangement, and secretly followed on her own initiative, she had already slapped Fang's face, and now she was talking like this, which made Fang's even more unkind. Why didn't Xun Shuzhi know how to persuade her mother? Mother and daughter have a good relationship, and don't put it on your face like this. Xun Qingran couldn't help but glance at Xun Shuzhi, but Xun Shuzhi still lowered her head, pinching the corners of her clothes with both hands. Next to her, Xun Shufang looked gloating.
Fang's face was gloomy, "You don't want to go to a good place after arranging a good place, what kind of slave are you, you are bigger than the masters." Do you play tricks in front of me, thinking that I am blind? I don't dare to care about you, whoever helped you get on the boat at the beginning, you squeezed with whomever you wanted. ”
When Fang Shi spoke, he glared at Xun Shufang and Xun Shuzhi fiercely, Xun Shuzhi lowered her head and didn't see it, but Xun Shufang's face turned white.
When she was in the Xun family's old house, Aunt Xiao Wu knew that the Fang family would not take her to Beijing, so she really cried. Then, to Xun Qingran's surprise, Aunt Xiao Wu stopped making trouble, but she turned out to be a subordinate and secretly mixed up on the boat.
Aunt Xiao Wu doesn't have such courage and scheming, and the trick ...... this, I think the Fang clan has also noticed it.
Although the journey was tiring, and he was new to a residence, he didn't sleep well at night, so Xun Qingran still got up early the next morning. Malt brought the washing water, Xun Qingran washed it, sat down in front of the dresser, and asked the bellflower to comb her hair.
There was no movement in Xun Shulan's house, and Xun Shufang and Xun Shuzhi seemed to be up. Xun Qingran could hear the noise outside, crying and scolding mixed together, and after making trouble for a while, he frowned a little.
"What are you yelling about early in the morning? It's like this, and there are no rules! As soon as the four girls got up, you all stopped a little, and told your wife for a while, no matter who you are, a meal is indispensable. ”
It is better for the narcissus in Xun Shulan's house to come out, and after a few words, the whole courtyard is quiet.
Xun Qingran asked what was going on, and the malt who had just gone out and poured water came back said, "It's the eldest girl who is scolding the peony, saying that she can't comb her hair, which hurts the eldest girl." ”
"The eldest girl's combing of her hair used to be the work of Lamei, and peony had never been done. …… Okay, I was sick before I went out, and I didn't come with me. Kikyo sighed.
"Let's not get involved in the big girl's affairs. Regarding Lamei, don't start it in front of people in the future. Xun Qingran saw that there were only two people in the house, bellflower and malt, so he admonished.
Kikyo and Malt glanced at each other, knowing that there must be an inside story, so they hurriedly responded.
"Which one is crying, it doesn't look like the voice of a peony."
"The eldest girl had no one to serve in front of her, so she borrowed someone from the second girl. The second girl sent the acacia flower over, and the eldest girl thought that the acacia flower was not clever, so she slapped her twice just now. Huaihua cried and ran back to the second girl, saying that she was the second girl's girl and didn't want to serve the eldest girl. The second girl still drove her to the eldest girl's side, but she was crying. ”
In the past, everyone didn't live in the same yard, although they also knew some of Xun Shufang's vices, but out of sight was pure. Now they are all huddled together, and everyone's temperament is revealed. I don't know how long it will take, and thanks to Xun Shulan, the concubine, it won't be able to be clean, Xun Qingran sighed. The housing problem has been a big problem since ancient times.
In the morning, when I went to Si'an Courtyard to ask the Fang family for peace, the Fang family left Xun Shulan alone, and sent a few of their sisters back to the waterside residence, saying that it was a tiring journey, so that they could rest for a while.
Lunch was usually delivered by Grandma Xun's people, two cold dishes, four hot dishes and one soup. The daughter-in-law who brought the food seemed to be a steward and very good at talking.
"I was afraid that the girls would not be used to eating in the north, so the eldest grandmother specially called the girls' meals made by the cook who came from the old house. The girl either felt that she was not in tune with her appetite, or that she wanted something to eat, so she just sent someone to talk to the kitchen. ”
Xun Qingran smiled and thanked him, and asked the bellflower to give the reward to the daughter-in-law, who weighed the weight of the red envelope in her hand and smiled more humbly.
Before Xun Qing finished dyeing rice here, Xun Shufang arrived.
"I'll come and see the third sister."
Before the people entered the house, they arrived first, and Xun Qingran had to stop the chopsticks. When Xun Shufang entered the house, she stared at Xun Qing's dinner table a few times.
Xun Qingran asked people to withdraw the food, and smiled secretly in his heart. Yesterday was also dinner, Xun Shufang came over with an excuse, and her eyes only looked at Xun Qing's dinner table. Today, Xun Shufang came to the door in person, and chose this time to come, and the intention was obvious. The Fang clan favored Xun Qingran on the issue of living, and Xun Shufang was afraid that it would be the same in terms of food, so she deliberately came over to investigate.
Xun Qingran felt that Xun Shufang was a bit of a villain, in the Xun family's old mansion, the Fang family was so biased, but it was Xun Shufang who was biased, at this time, Xun Shufang suspected that the Fang family was also biased towards Xun Qingran.
It's just that there is still a Grandma Xun in this house, and there are so many subordinates of Grandma Xun. Fang's hometown in Yingchuan, behind closed doors, can be said to cover the sky with one hand. But the house in the capital is different, her daughter-in-law has so many pairs of eyes watching, the uncle of the Xun family is an official, and the lord Xun is also going to seek an official. If the Fang family does that again, if the slightest rumor goes out, her reputation will be ruined, and together with Master Xun and Uncle Xun, she will also be criticized.
Xun Shufang looked at Xun Qing's dyed food, and seemed to be relieved, so she looked around the house again, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, but she immediately covered it up.
"Third sister, I've always wanted to have a few words with you, but I was free today. In this courtyard, only you and I are the most pitiful, and we are all people who have no relatives to take care of. ”
twisted Xun Qingran to send out all the people who were waiting, Xun Shuzhi sat down with Xun Qingran, took Xun Qingran's hand and began to lyrical.
Xun Qingran saw that Xun Shuzhi took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and there were really tears in her eyes, and she subconsciously cooperated to show some sad expressions.
Xun Qing observed her words and looks, and then spoke: "My sister is dissatisfied when she sees that her wife usually loves me?" ”
"My wife is very good to our sisters, where do you start with the big sister?"
"There is no one else here, in front of me, what is the third sister still hiding like this?" Xun Shufang said angrily, "The third sister is extremely smart, can't you see that this is actually my wife's strategy?" Is it to separate our sisters and make it easier for her to control? The third sister thinks about it, if I did anything in the past, my wife didn't like it, so she was cold to me, and only greeted the third sister in everything. If the third sister annoys my wife, my wife will treat me the same. In the past few years, my sister has also seen it, isn't it, my sister is a smart person, she shouldn't fall into his wife's trap, right? ”
Xun Shufang made a look of Ai Ai, and said cautiously while looking at Xun Qing's dyed face.
Xun Qingran looked at the beautiful face in front of him, and had a feeling of swallowing flies.
It turned out that Xun Shufang had always been sober. When the Fang family was kind to Xun Shufang, Xun Shufang took advantage of the situation to seek her own benefit and oppress her younger brothers and sisters who were like her. Now that the Fang clan is tired of her and behaves well to others, she is afraid that this person will be the same as her, and since then he has gained power, more benefits than her, and turned around to bully her.
Xun Shufang is here to persuade Xun Qingran not to be fooled. In other words, it was to ask Xun Qingran not to respond to Fang's overtures. Of course, this is not that Xun Shufang wants to form an alliance with Xun Qingran, she is just provoking, as long as Xun Qingran does not take the opportunity to curry favor with the Fang family, Xun Shufang will have a chance to regain her favor.
Xun Shufang has a good and delicate abacus, and anyone can play an abacus, but not everyone has a cheeky abacus.
Xun Qingran really wanted to touch Xun Shufang's face, how could a girl who was only a teenager exercise a thicker face than a person who was about to be thirty years old at this mental age? Or is it not a trained person, but a gifted person?
It's a shame for what she said!
It turned out that Xun Qingran could still comfort herself, saying that Xun Shufang was an ignorant little girl who was used by the Fang family to bully her sister. But Xun Shufang's words clearly show that Xun Shufang is not being used without knowing it, she is willing to be used, she is actively used, and she uses the Fang family's use to consolidate her own status and interests at the cost of stepping on her sisters.
"Big sister is saying that my wife suddenly doesn't like my big sister, but I don't see it, what annoyed my wife about my big sister?" Xun Qingran asked inquiringly. Since you're here to put your heart into it, you might as well tell me your secret.
Xun Shufang was speechless, she came to calculate Xun Qing's dyeing, not to expose the secret things she had done.
"I'm ......, don't ask the third sister. Don't the third sister know, we don't have to do anything, and my wife hates us in her heart. ”
"My sister is stupid."
Xun Shufang hated iron a little, "Don't talk about it, my wife sent us back today, and only took one of the four sisters out." ”
"This is not unusual, it used to be the same in Yingchuan's hometown." Xun Qingran said lightly. Of course, Xun Shufang will also be brought at that time.
"That's the same. Third sister, you are fifteen years old this year,......" Xun Shufang was a little excited, but stopped halfway through speaking, smiled, and then said: "Third sister, I came to remind you for your good." Be careful of your wife, who is good for you on the surface, but secretly she is only afraid that she is trying to calculate you. You're still the same as in the past, it's good for you to be a little more distancing. ”
Xun Qingran smiled, "Thank you for your concern, my sister remembers." ”
In the afternoon, Fang took Xun Shulan back from outside. Xun Qingran sat on the chair, only feeling that the Fang clan seemed to be a few years younger today, and the smile on his face was even more radiating from the inside out. Needless to say, when the Fang clan went out today, he must have met a great joy.
"You sisters have prepared your newly made clothes, and tomorrow I will take you to Zhenguo Temple to offer incense."
