Xing Shuang finished taking care of the housework and went to Jia's mother for lunch with Li Kun.

Since Jia's mother reflected, her attitude towards Xing Shuang has returned to the way she was in the first year, and now that her own daughter is gone, Xing Shuang, the eldest daughter-in-law, treats herself like a daughter, and Jia's mother is unwilling to hold the shelf anymore.

So Xing Shuang set the dishes, and Jia's mother asked her to sit down, and said to Li Kun: "You also sit, your mother-in-law is not here these days, and you are tired enough." ”

Li Kun was still a little afraid, but when she saw Xing Shuang nodding at her, she sat down on the side.

"Speaking of which, it's time for the second family to come back, right?" Before Jia Mu moved her chopsticks, she said first: "I don't know what happened to the Xue family." ”

Xing Shuang said with a smile: "Brother and sister should know that the old lady thinks about her, and I am afraid that I will cry if I am grateful." It's just that if she comes back now, I'm afraid my aunt's side will not be good. ”

"How?" Jia Mu hurriedly asked, "What's the difficulty?" ”

Xing Shuang sighed, smiled, and said, "It's not an old problem?" This orphan and widow guards such a big family business, it is inevitable that others will worry about it. ”

Jia Mu nodded when she heard this, and suddenly understood: "But she can't live there all the time to support others, right?" ”

Li Su hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady, my wife will only be back in a month." ”

Xing Shuang also said: "Those people are just rushing for money, give them some sweetness appropriately, and they don't dare to really mess around." Mrs. Aunt is not without descendants, and Pan'er is a man no matter how poor she is. If they dare to make trouble, they are not afraid that Pan'er will turn over old accounts when she becomes an adult in the future? ”

Mother Jia was happy when she heard this, and pointed at Xing Shuang and said, "You are amazing, but I heard that the child of the Xue family doesn't seem to be very successful?" ”

Xing Shuang pursed her lips, and said in her heart, old lady, you are really polite.

"If you are a successful person, you can't make your younger siblings work so hard and run for a trip. Our Zhu'er has entered school at this age, what is he like? It's just a pity that my younger brother and sister are busy with their own affairs, and they have to worry about their sister's affairs.

"If you want me to say, just take out the names of the two families of King Jia and suppress the uncles and uncles of the Xue family, and the province will have endless troubles. The younger siblings refused, saying that they were afraid of leaving a bullying impression on their relatives. We're just fighting the situation, that's not deception, the old lady said, isn't this reasonable? ”

Jia Mu nodded and said seriously: "You are more and more understanding, but your younger brother and sister are not unreasonable." Although it is not a deception, but it is about to go out by the people of the Xue family, outsiders don't care who is right or wrong, they will only say that our family is not good. Your brother and sister are also kind, don't worry. If this matter is to be solved, it is easy to do, take my post, send a letter to my nephew, and let him do it. ”

Xing Shuang asked curiously: "Zhongjing Hou and Baoling Hou are both in Beijing, wouldn't it be more troublesome to hand over this matter to them?" ”

Li Kun interjected at this time: "Zhongjing Houjia said that he was going back to the ancestral house to keep vigil this year, and he was going to leave this month. ”

Xing Shuang looked at Li Kun and smiled: "You know, I'm afraid that your mother-in-law didn't tell you earlier?" ”

Li Kun smiled silently, and Jia's mother explained beside her: "Her mother-in-law is in Jinling, how can she know about this?" You are busy on weekdays, and she comes to see me and listens to me. ”

Xing Shuang hurriedly said: "It's not mine to be filial to you." Anyway, I'm fine today, and the girls are also playing in the garden, so it's time to be free, so why don't I go on a trip myself. ”

Jia Mu saw that she was going to take credit, so she happily handed over the errand to her. He also instructed her: "I went to his house to pick up Yun'er's girl, and I haven't seen her for a few days." ”

Xing Shuang responded, and after eating, she took Jia's mother's post and went out. When he arrived at the door of Shi's house, the porter saw the Western carriage, and immediately knew whose family was coming, and the little maid hurriedly went in to report. Xing Shuang hadn't entered the second door yet, but she was in the corridor, and she watched Mrs. Baoling's big maid greet her.

Xing Shuang pulled the curtain of the car and talked to her through the window, and when she arrived at the second gate, she saw that Mrs. Baoling was already waiting at the second gate, so she opened the window with a smile and shouted, "You're welcome, I'll wait here." ”

Mrs. Ma replied with a smile: "If I don't come to meet you, you want to make a mistake with me, but I don't dare to snub you." ”

Xing Shuang laughed, and when the car stopped, he quickly got out of the car, and went up to hold Ma's hand.

Among the four major families, the smartest is none other than the Shi family. Although the visitors didn't understand why the Shi family was so poor, Xing Shuang was in it and realized that the Shi family's doing this was actually similar to his own self-surrendering identity.

Pretending to be poor and pitiful is the best means of self-preservation. But the family with infinite scenery did not end well in the end.

And the historian, after several generations of succession, can still retain a bowling waiting, which shows that the middle is also meritorious, so it has not been demoted.

Even so, historians understand that merit is not a benefit. Therefore, most of their subordinates were dispersed early, and most of the household work was done by themselves.

The historians are all poor like this, and no matter how much the saint thinks about him, he is embarrassed.

So in the end, the Shi family was the only family that was fine, but the other families, none of them had a good end.

The wife of Baoling Hou is not an ordinary person, but the sister of Ma Shang, the grandson of the ruling prince. Among the eight dukes, Chen Ruiwen, the general of Sanpinwei Town, the grandson of the Duke of Qi, and Ma Shang, the general of Weiyuan, have the best relationship with Jia Liang. In addition, in the New Year's ceremony in previous years, Xing Shuang also helped the historians, and the relationship between Ling's historians and Xing Shuang was also very good.

Now that the Shi family has dispersed most of the subordinates, they still sent the subordinates to Yucai Academy for training, which shows that Ma is also a smart person. Xing Shuang likes to deal with smart people the most, because it will save a lot of trouble.

Before entering the upper room, before he took a sip of tea, Ma smiled and said: "You are a noble person, and I can't find you to play cards on weekdays." I'm afraid I'm not here to talk to me today. ”

Xing Shuang hurriedly took a sip of tea, and then replied: "If it's okay, I'm not allowed to go to a relative?" Besides, I haven't seen Xiangyun's girl for a few days, and you won't ask her to come out to meet me. ”

Ma Shi smiled: "You need to say this? Then he turned his head and asked the maid to invite Xiangyun out, and said to Xing Shuang: "Sit down, the third wife heard that you were coming, so she went back to the house to dress up." ”

Xing Shuang covered her mouth and laughed: "She has always loved beauty, she is better than us, and she loves to dress up so much, do you want to make us more and more like a yellow-faced woman?" ”

Someone outside the house laughed: "Sister Xing is used to bullying people, how can I love beauty." But the unkempt is afraid of making you laugh, so I just go back to the house to wash my face. ”
