Chapter 46: The Xu Family
"Mother-in-law! How can you do that. It almost scared us to death! Ye Wanrong shouted angrily. How can this be? Ha! Can you, as daughters-in-law, treat your mother-in-law as an evil spirit? Where did you learn this truth, and dare to sophistry? Chen Qiaoqiao felt that she had not exerted her power in the past few days, are they going to be restless again?
"Mother-in-law has changed too much recently, we are just ......" Hu Feng herself can't go on, this matter is indeed something she thinks inappropriately, if it is really the same as what her mother-in-law said, those people are really liars, if you take the opportunity to rob, she is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house!
"Change! Is there anything bad about the change in my mother-in-law? If it weren't for the change in the mother-in-law, would the money from the household be brought back, and your life would be better, don't be doing anything, otherwise, the mother-in-law will go to the patriarch to evaluate the reasoning! It's a big deal, this face-saving mother-in-law doesn't want it! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao is really a little angry, what is this, treat her as an evil ghost, although strictly speaking, she is really a soul from more than a thousand years later, but Chen Qiaoqiao is unwilling to admit it, she doesn't want to be a ghost!
Hu Feng was silent, if this matter was to the patriarch, their Chen family's face would be lost, and if they were a daughter-in-law and buried their mother-in-law like this, they would be scolded by someone pointing at their backbone.
"Si Zuo! Si right, let's go back to the room! I'm angry when I see you! Chen Qiaoqiao walked away angrily, walked to Xu Huifang's door, but saw the door closed, "The third daughter-in-law is not there?" "It just so happened that Autumn Xiang passed by." Madam! The third young grandmother went back to her parents' house! ”
"Oh?" Why is it so unfortunate? She still needs her father's help, so she's going back to her parents' house? "Do you know what's going on?" Chen Qiaoqiao asked.
"I heard that the father of the third young grandmother had a cold and had not started classes for several days, and the third young grandmother had just heard about it, so she was in a hurry to go back!" This Xu Huifang's father is a showman, and he is quite famous, so he is the teacher of enlightenment for some children, which stated that he was enlightened back then.
Chen Qiaoqiao was wondering, did she go to visit and do this apprenticeship by the way? But the ancients had many rules, and it was not good for her, the housewife, to go to a widower's house? However, if Xu Huifang is here, there shouldn't be anything, right? Forget it, their general's mansion is not a big family in the eyes of the people now, and there is no need to put up any shelves.
So Chen Qiaoqiao decided to go, "Qiu Xiang, does anyone in this house know the address of the third young grandmother's mother's house?" Madame, I'd like to visit my in-laws. Qiu Xiang was a little surprised, the people of the Chen family were more or less contemptuous of the third young grandmother's maiden family, even if the statement was the same, although Mr. Xu was his teacher, but he still felt that the Xu family was not worthy of the Chen family.
"Yoko's house is next door to the third young grandmother's mother's house, Qiu Xiang is going to call him!" Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, she didn't expect this Yangzi to live there, so it was okay, she could take a look at Yangzi's family background by the way, Chen Qiaoqiao was still very interested in interfering in the affairs of Yangzi and Xing'er.
Chen Qiaoqiao left Si Zuo and Si You at home and told them to play with Zhen'er, this is to visit the sick, and it is not good to take the child. At this moment, the things that Lord Yin bought were all delivered, Chen Qiaoqiao saw that everything was ready, even the jade ornaments were prepared, Chen Qiaoqiao was attracted by one of the gorgeous purple hostas, because a small note was entangled in it, Chen Qiaoqiao opened it and looked, "Be careful, not respectful!" "It turned out to be given to her by Gin-sama! Chen Qiaoqiao was overjoyed, she just didn't have jewelry, this Lord Yin was really too knowledgeable!
Chen Qiaoqiao changed her clothes, thought about it for a while, and brought the silver ticket, Si Zuo and Si You were at home, and she couldn't close the door of the room, but she was really not at ease, that was all her belongings!
Xu Huifang's home is quite a long way away, this Yangzi drove the family's carriage here, and no one dared to stop it, Chen Qiaoqiao nodded with satisfaction, it seems that her prestige has been established a little bit, remembering that not long ago she went out and someone dared to stop her, and now the situation is really much better. But Chen Qiaoqiao is far from satisfied, one day, she must really grasp the real power of the Chen family, she is used to living how she wants, and she wants her to cooperate with the pace of others, no, or to match her pace!
Since I am going to visit the sick, I naturally have to buy something, and there is no fruit in this winter, alas! There was nothing out of season in ancient times. Chen Qiaoqiao thought about it for a long time, or bought some light pastries in the market, mung bean cakes, red date cakes or something, considering that Xu Huifang's family life may not be very good, this is naturally from Yangzi, Chen Qiaoqiao bought some rice noodles by the way, bacon or something, and also bought some vegetables, dried shrimp, winter bamboo shoots, tofu skin or something, these practical things, after all, Chen Qiaoqiao is still counting on the apprenticeship!
The carriage is bumpy, Chen Qiaoqiao almost didn't spit it out, the road is bumpy, but fortunately, this Yangzi seems to be a veteran, and his skills are not bad. Chen Qiaoqiao originally wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about Yangzi's family background, but she only cared about being uncomfortable, where did she have the strength to ask?
Fortunately, it didn't take long to arrive, otherwise Chen Qiaoqiao would really have to vomit! It's so strange why Chen Wei sent his son Shuping to study so far away!
Yangzi seemed to see Chen Qiaoqiao's doubts, "This Mr. Xu's reputation in Kaifeng is very loud, and several of the high school jinshi in the past few years were enlightened by Mr. Xu!" ”
This Chen Qiaoqiao understands that being a gentleman also wants to be famous, and he has a few students who have grown up so much, so he is naturally famous. This education is the same, and it is necessary to lay a good foundation, so the teacher of enlightenment is also very important.
Chen Qiaoqiao got out of the carriage, but was stunned by everything in front of her, she listened to Yangzi's words, originally thought that it was a dilapidated school, but she didn't expect that this school was quite large, the bright house, white walls and black tiles, and it was also very refreshing.
"This school is funded by several of Mr.'s students, and it is not Mr.'s property!" Yangzi solved Chen Qiaoqiao's doubts again. What everyone raised funds was not Mr. Xu's private property, he only had the right to use, not the right to own. Chen Qiaoqiao found that this Yangzi was extremely observant and knew how to figure out the minds of others, well, yes, this is also an advantage.
"Three young grandmothers! Three young grandmothers! Yangzi shouted outside the door, and after a while, Xu Huifang hurriedly walked out, and was very surprised to see that it was her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law!" What are you doing here! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, she herself felt that this smile was quite kind, "Silly child! If your in-laws are sick, you won't tell your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law will come to visit! One sentence made Xu Huifang's eyes red, don't say that the Chen family is here, even if it is said that it is rare to come a few times a year.
Back then, she insisted on marrying Shuping, but her father actually disagreed, but he couldn't stand her pleas. At that time, it was also the mother-in-law who inquired and learned that she and Cheng Ping had a good relationship, so she came to propose marriage. Of course, these Chen Qiaoqiao don't know.
"Yoko, bring everything in the car in! Leave a bag of noodles and move the rest in! Chen Qiaoqiao thought about leaving a bag of noodles and going to Yoko's house for a walk later.
Chen Qiaoqiao took Xu Huifang's hand and walked into the house affectionately. As soon as I walked into this Xu family, it was refreshing and refreshing, and there was no sloppiness of a widower at all, which shows that this in-law loves cleanliness very much.
"Daddy! Mother-in-law is coming to visit you! Xu Huifang lifted the curtain, Chen Qiaoqiao saw her in-laws, and couldn't help but be stunned, this Mr. Xu is handsome and handsome, very good, it seems that Xu Huifang has inherited his good looks. Although he was half leaning on the couch, he still couldn't hide his thick bookish atmosphere.
Xu Ziji raised his head slightly, only to feel that a ray of sunlight came in, and walked in a pretty beauty, full of vitality, with a light smile, standing beside her daughter, not inferior! He had a moment of flashing light, he had seen this Mrs. Chen, but he didn't know that she was getting younger and younger!
"Mrs. Chen! Ahem, you bothered to bother, and I came to visit in person, so how could I ask the subset to go! Mr. Xu wanted to get up slightly, but was stopped by Chen Qiaoqiao, "You don't have to be polite to your in-laws, you can rest well!" It is our Chen family's etiquette is not careful, no one came to visit a look, this Shuping went to study, and he couldn't come back for a while, so he did it for me, the second mother, and I hope Mr. forgive me, don't dislike me for being a woman, I don't know the etiquette! ”
"Mrs. Chen's words, it's just a little wind and cold, and the subset doesn't want to be known to everyone." This Mr. Xu is used to literary crepe, and he calls himself a subset. "Daddy! You still say it's a trivial matter, and it hasn't started classes for a few days, and if it weren't for Yoko telling me, I wouldn't have known! Xu Huifang looked at his father with disgust, since his mother died, he would not take good care of himself.
In fact, with his father's appearance and knowledge, there are many matchmakers who say goodbye, but they are all sent away by their father one by one. Chen Qiaoqiao looked at the Xu family with a smile, according to the scale of this school, this Xu Ziji's life should not be sad, why did Yangzi say it quite shabby?
"It seems that my in-laws are quite cold, have you grabbed medicine to eat?" "Yes, but it's not always good." Xu Ziji said, quite a little weak.
"Illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, and there is no urgency. However, the most important thing is to eat more nutritious food to regain strength! Chen Qiaoqiao said with a smile. Nourishment? What is that? The father and daughter of the Xu family couldn't understand it, and Chen Qiaoqiao sighed in her heart, "It's something that can make up for the body." ”
"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten a decent meal for several days, I originally ate the food of the school, but the class has not started for a few days, and the cook took leave and went back." Xu Ziji said with a wry smile.
"What's the matter with this cook, I'm embarrassed to take leave when I see my father sick?" Xu Huifang was a little angry. Xu Ziji smiled bitterly, he didn't want to talk about the twists and turns, this cook tried to seduce him several times, but it always didn't work, and he was a little annoyed and angry.
"That's good, Huifang, I'll cook some noodle soup at home, eat it and cover your sweat, maybe it'll be fine!" Chen Qiaoqiao knows best, when she has a cold, she eats a big bowl of hot noodle soup, and then falls asleep and wakes up.
