The final result was that the big house divided two-thirds of the public school into districts, and also occupied the ancestral house, on the grounds that there were many men in their house. The clan elders all said that it was unfair, but Master Xia thought that he would rather give more to the big house, and he would also involve this matter earlier, so if he suffers a little loss, he will suffer a loss, and he also wanted to give more to the big house.

Master Xia invited the clan elders to be witnesses, wrote the contract of separation, he and Uncle Xia signed in front of everyone, and let people send them to the yamen for filing.

The two parties agreed that the second room would not move out for the time being, and the second room would move out after the old lady passed away. At the same time, the two sides set up another stove, each responsible for their own daily expenses, and the expenses of the old lady's side were shared equally between the two sides. said that the two sides were evenly shared, but in fact, everyone understood that the big house was just talking, and the old lady was actually raised in the second room. There are still a lot of things to be divided next, just to say that the distribution of the next person is very troublesome, the master wants who does not want whom, and the next people are willing to follow this room or that room, trust the relationship, find favors, there are always endless things to do.

Although there are many things and complicated, because of the bastards for many years, Mrs. Xia is in a good mood, and she has already prepared the house where the second room will live in the future, so she is not very worried about the separation of the family, and most of her energy is still focused on preparing for Xia Ruixi's marriage.

Before the matter of the separation of the family was over, the Ouyang family came to the door to ask for the invitation, and finally set the marriage date of the two on the sixteenth day of the lunar month. When Xia Ruixi heard this, he was nervous and secretly funny at the same time, it was really good to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year. Mr. and Mrs. Xia were really overjoyed, the unhappiness of some time ago was swept away, Mrs. Xia took out the list of slaves in the family and examined them one by one, who wanted to accompany Xia Ruixi and which could not go.

In the end, it was decided that Chunliang's two girls were the wedding girls, and they planned to accompany the two more families. Whether she wants to or not, Wan'er was given to Cui Hui, the second son of Cui Yuancui's housekeeper, by Mrs. Xia, if she wants to go with Xia Ruixi, she has to go over as a daughter-in-law.

When it was time to confirm the companion room, Xia Ruixi asked her what she meant, she cried for a whole hour, and finally decided not to follow Xia Ruixi to Ou's house. She also has her considerations, she wanted to go to the Ou family because she wanted to be an aunt, and she admired Ou Si in private, but now it is impossible, and she has to start everything from scratch after the past, it is far better to stay in the Xia family and live a decent life with the son of the big housekeeper.

Xia Ruixi sighed: "You are a smart and powerful person. Although I was dissatisfied with you for a while, you have been with me for so many years, and I still have feelings for you, and I always hope you are good. Cui Hui's whole person, I have also seen it, it is very good, and it is quite promising. You live a good life with him. "Cui Hui is fair-looking, shrewd and capable, and the key is that he is said to have always liked Wan'er. originally thought that Wan'er was going to go to the Ou family with Xia Ruixi, but he was hopeless, but who knew that he heard the news from inside that Wan'er was going to match Wan'er, and he asked Cui Yuan to beg Master Xia for a while. Xia Ruixi felt that he should be good to Wan'er, so he was also very happy for Wan'er.

Wan'er turned out to be a golden hairpin, a pair of silver earrings, a pair of silver bracelets and two satins that Xia Ruixi gave her, fell to the ground and cried: "Miss, in the future, slaves and maids will not be able to serve you, you will be more patient with everything, think more, and live a good life." Then he said to the two girls of Chunliang: "You need to serve the young lady well, and plan more for the young lady in everything, and the young lady will have a good life." ”

Xia Ruixi was so sad by her crying that she found an excuse to slip away first, leaving Wan'er to say goodbye to the others in the yard one by one. It wasn't until she saw that Wan'er was taken away by the mother-in-law sent by Mrs. Xia that she dared to find out.

Chun'er said: "Miss doesn't like Wan'er on the surface, but she is actually a little reluctant to give her up in her heart, right?" ”

Xia Ruixi said: "Wan'er, the biggest point is that she is smart, and her biggest shortcoming is also smart. She was afraid of death and wanted to live a good life, so she did something I didn't like, but at the end of the day, she didn't do anything to hurt me. Day and night are opposite, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? I just hope that she can have a good life, and this feeling is the same for you. In the future, I will surely find a good family for you both. ”

Liang'er was chatting on the side, and said with a smile: "The slaves and maids are still young, so I want to learn some skills from the young lady's side." Since she was mentioned by Xia Ruixi, she has been much more stable during this time, no longer bothering about favor, and most of the time she can calm down and concentrate on doing something.

Xia Ruixi smiled: "The two of you are now fourteen years old, and it is not small to say that you are small." A few years of hard work have passed in a snap of a finger, what should be done and what should not be done, there should be a plan, so as not to be at a loss. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She's been here for a year and a half.

When I came before, I frantically missed that world and my original parents, but now I rarely think about it, and I slowly integrate myself into this world, during which I have gone through a very complicated psychological journey. Time can change everything.

"Second Miss, Madame, please go to the room."

The voice of the mother-in-law came from the door, Xia Ruixi hurriedly packed up and went to the upper room, and entered the house, just in time for Mrs. Xia to ask Liniang: "Liniang, how did the thing I asked you to do was done?" ”

Li Niang whispered: "The slave is looking for an opportunity to talk to you." A few days ago, the slave maid followed the method of his wife and went to find the aunt and grandmother of the Sun family. The aunt refused to live or die before, but then she finally let go, but it was the lion who opened her mouth. He smiled again: "The widowed aunt of the Sun family is really an interesting person, and the young lady of the reading family has actually done such a thing." Even if it is her own nephew's money, she also has to earn it. ”

Compared with Li Niang's fuss, Mrs. Xia said disapprerovingly: "What's the way to do that?" She is a widow, she has to raise three children alone, she has to provide for her son's education, and she has to gather the dowry of her youngest daughter. If she doesn't want to make this money, what should I do? ”

Li Niang sneered: "That's, Madame is kind-hearted." It's just that she wants too much, enough for a good house. ”

Mrs. Xia said: "What is money? As long as his family doesn't come to the door twice in three days to make trouble, it is better than anything else, and it drags on for a while. What I'm most afraid of is that on the bustling day, his family will come to the door to make a fuss. "Regardless of whether Sun Yi's condition is stable or not, he is not destined to be a long-lived person, as long as it is possible, she is unwilling to marry Xia Ruibei to the Sun family.

Mrs. Xia thought for a while and said, "That's okay, you go and talk to her." I can agree to all her requests, and even let her three sons study at Honglu Academy. However, she has to move this matter for me first, so that Beibei Chongxi will not mention it again. If the Sun family wants to be happy, they let his family buy two more concubines to go in, and Beibei is not until she is less than sixteen years old, so she doesn't want Beibei to pass through the door. As for the money, I will pay her fifty taels of gold first, and then I will pay the rest together after the deed is completed. ”

Li Niang left in response, and Mrs. Xia turned back to Xia Ruixi and said, "Did you hear it?" Sometimes men's methods don't necessarily work, I used to think that I can only rely on your father, who knows that there are times when I can't rely on it, I can only rely on myself. ”

Xia Ruixi nodded in response, and Mrs. Xia said, "Let's go to the kitchen to prepare today's lunch." ”

Because Mrs. Xia can't wait to teach Xia Ruixi everything she knows, she always pulls Xia Ruixi to learn housekeeping and deal with various emergencies. In addition to accompanying Mrs. Xia's housekeeper, Xia Ruixi also has to learn how to cook, and she can't leave behind the female red calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, every day is like a war, so nervous that she can't breathe, almost day by day, and she is extremely looking forward to the end of this kind of suffering as soon as possible.

Time flies, and with the arrival of the Ou family's 24th dowry, Xia Ruixi's marriage entered the countdown in a tense and warm atmosphere.

Finally, there are only seven days left to Xia Ruixi's wedding date, and Mrs. Xia also feels that it is almost over, and she no longer chases Xia Ruixi every day to learn this and that, so that she can sleep more and rest more every day, and take care of her body and skin. Xia Ruixi suddenly became idle, but he felt unaccustomed, and when he was bored, he wanted to take a look at the legendary Western Regions horse called Ah Yue.

Xia Ruixi wrote a silent book in Mrs. Xia's room for disaster relief, and was very happy to hear that Xia Ruixi was going to find him to see the horse. As soon as he stood up, he was slapped on the back of his hand by Mrs. Xia's ruler, which made him hurt so badly that tears immediately filled his eyes. Mrs. Xia said with a calm face: "What do I usually tell you?" If you don't finish what you need to do and think about playing, what else can you do? ”

Xia Ruiyu said aggrievedly: "Didn't I think that the second sister was about to get married? I just want to spend more time with her. I've been looking for her several times before, but she's not available. As he spoke, he snorted and put it up.

Mrs. Xia's heart softened, and she wanted to let him go to play with Xia Ruixi, but then she thought of the three unsuccessful sons of Uncle Xia's family, shuddered, still had a calm face, and said seriously: "Are you eleven years old?" Still crying so much? Even if you want to stay with your sister for a while, you have to finish your work first! If you don't have any self-control, how can you achieve great things in the future? Even if you can't glorify your ancestors, you can't be a loser! ”

Xia Ruiyu bit her lip and didn't speak, angry at Mrs. Xia's words from the bottom of her heart. He loves to cry, but to say that he will be a loser, it is absolutely impossible. Although he is young, he can already distinguish between right and wrong, and he looks down on his three cousins very much, and is determined to be a different person from them. If it weren't for the education he received since childhood that he couldn't disobey his parents, he would have talked back a long time ago.
