was feeling sorry, a man came out of the front yard, and the anthurium saw him and hurriedly bowed: "I've seen the second uncle." ”

This person is Mrs. Xing's younger brother Xing Zhong, and he is also Xing Xiuyan's father in the book. That Xing Zhong saw the anthurium, and said with an angry look on his face: "What are you doing? ”

Anthurium was stunned and annoyed, but he had to complete the errand, so he had to endure his anger and send the letter to Xing Zhong first, and said: "Mrs. said that her status is not high, and it is not good for the house to prepare New Year's gifts, but she has prepared some things in private, and I hope that my aunts and grandmothers will laugh at her." ”

Xing Zhong also finished reading the letter at this time, and then listened to Anthurium's words, knowing that he had made a misunderstanding, so he asked Anthurium to get up and go down to rest.

After the anthurium went down, Xing Zhong turned his head and called his two younger sisters to tell them what was written in the letter, and the two sisters were both happy and worried when they heard it.

"Second brother really wants to listen to her? Although Gusu is prosperous, the second brother has never left the house, that is, she is really willing to give the capital, how can the second brother share the money with her when he earns money? Isn't it that she has no one to use and wants her family to work for her for nothing? ”

Xing Zhong listened to what his sister said, hesitated in his heart and made up his mind: "You and I can't sit and wait for death, and the family is so poor, what's the harm in giving it a try, it won't be worse than now." ”

The two younger sisters saw that they couldn't make sense of him, so they stopped persuading, but Xing Zhong looked for it in the envelope again and took out a silver ticket.

"The eldest sister confessed, you accept the silver ticket here, don't show it to the eldest brother, she said that the eldest brother only knows how to eat, drink and gamble on weekdays, if this money is known by him, it will be all gone in less than a day."

Xing Yue heard that she took the silver ticket, and was startled when she saw the amount on it: "She's here to atone for her sins?" ”

The five hundred and three big characters on the silver ticket scared the two sisters a little overwhelmed.

It was the eldest sister who got married and took away all the property, which added up to less than two hundred taels, and now one is five hundred taels, which shows that the wealthy family is really a good place to go.

"This is too much, my sister and I don't need these, let's take the second brother to Gusu."

Xing Zhong said again: "No need, the eldest sister said in the letter that let me go to the capital to meet her first, and she will give me another capital." However, the second sister and the younger sister are also old, and you can either buy a dowry or keep it for your family, as long as you use it on the blade, don't let people spoil it. ”

When the two sisters heard this, they all shed tears, and they were annoyed for a while, they had misunderstood their sister before, and they thought of the habits that the sister of the wealthy family did not know and was not used to, and they must have suffered a lot of white eyes and contempt, but these two people put down all the hatred in their hearts.

And that Xing Zhong, after receiving the letter, discussed with his wife that night, and the next day packed his luggage and followed the anthurium straight to the capital.

Xing Shuang is almost tired of losing a layer of skin during the New Year, because this year is the first year she has entered the door, and Jia's mother hurriedly let her go on an errand, and she is responsible for taking care of all the utensils in the house during the New Year.

Because Madame Wang was pregnant, she didn't send her anything to do. But the more this is the case, the greater the hatred for Xing Shuang in her heart.

On this day, Xing Shuang was listening to her mother-in-law in the flower hall, and when she heard that the second room had folded a few more teacups, she pressed her temples with a little headache.

Speaking of which, a folded cup is not a valuable item either. But compared to the cups used by ordinary people, they are all good things. If it is investigated, it is just a few cups, and it is necessary to be said that Xing Shuang is a child.

But if you don't pursue it, it seems that there are only one or two folds a day, and the total amount is not small. Besides, this cup is more than one set, even if one is smashed, this set can't be used.

"According to the old practice, how much is smashed and reported to the treasury, and the monthly money for the next month is deducted. As for who smashed it and who should bear it, there is still a second wife in Jingyi Hall, but the left is just someone in her courtyard who did it, and she will dispose of it herself. ”

After Xing Shuang finished instructing, she asked the mother-in-law to go down, but the mother-in-law not only did not leave, but also chattered and asked: "If the second wife smashed it......"

Xing Shuang interrupted her words and sneered: "Who smashed it, what does it matter to me, I only do things according to the rules." If one or two can sell personal favors, they won't be investigated. But in the past half a month, more than a dozen sets have been smashed, my family is not a wealthy family, and there is a lot of dowry money to fill this deep pit for others.

"If it was really smashed by the second wife, the money should also go back to the public, but it should also be reported, so as not to lose the cup for nothing. What's wrong with me doing this, if you're dissatisfied, just say it to the old lady. ”

The mother-in-law didn't dare to say anything, so she bowed her head and retreated. Xing Shuang knew that this would definitely make it difficult for the second room, but she didn't want to endure it anymore. On weekdays, I think about not being too evil, so I endure it in every possible way, and if she wants to make trouble today, then she will make a scene.

After dealing with the matter, the mother-in-law everywhere dispersed, and Caiyue came over and whispered in Xing Shuang's ear: "The second uncle is here, and I want to go back to my wife, but my wife is not idle." The old man was already receiving him in front, and he asked his uncle and wife to come in, and the slave and maid saw that the mother-in-law was there, so they arranged to wait in the west chamber. ”

The West Chamber, which was originally the place where those concubines lived, was later sent out, and it was also empty at this time. I also considered that Yingchun also needed a house when it was older, so it was originally planned to be kept for Yingchun to live.

Now that the West Chamber is empty, the receptionist is not rude, and Caiyue's arrangement is very satisfactory to Xing Shuang.

Xing Shuang saw Xing Zhong's wife for the first time, and when she went out, Xing Zhong's wife had only been in the door for a long time, so the two didn't know each other very well.

It's just that her appearance and temperament are not bad, Xing Shuang didn't want to inquire much, so she only asked: "My brother and sister's family is good." ”

After Xing Shuang asked, Xing Zhong's wife would be wrong, and replied to her: "Since my aunt's wife took care of her, the family has been well-off, and her life has been better." ”

Xing Shuang didn't want to ask any more, so she only said: "This time, let you go to Gusu with your second brother, do you blame me?" ”

Xing Zhong's wife hurriedly said: "Gusu was originally my hometown, and Mrs. Gu has this arrangement, but I am very willing." Even the second master did not have a trace of dissatisfaction, thinking that if he could really spell out a family business, he would also have an explanation for his ancestors and ancestors. ”

Xing Shuang nodded and smiled: "If you can think like this, you understand people, if I just take money to send you, you can give as much as you want." It's just that when the money given out will eventually run out, if you have a family business, it will be different. ”

Xing Zhong's wife hurriedly echoed when she heard this: "The second master also said so, it seems that it is really the same sister and brother." ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Jia Liang brought Xing Zhong in. Xing Zhong and his wife came up and officially greeted Xing Shuang and Jia Liang, and then Jia Liang said: "I have already agreed with my second brother to set off after the New Year." Now you don't have to rush what you have to say. ”
