Chapter 49: The Red Lantern (2)
Ou Qing went to pull Xia Ruixi's hand, trying to persuade her to forget it, but as soon as she held Xia Ruixi's hand, she felt her hand trembling violently, which showed that she was extremely angry now. He knew that Xia Ruixi didn't hate Ou Xinfeng and scolded her, but felt sorry for him and was unhappy for him, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm, and that trace of depression was also alleviated a lot.
Ou Xinfeng said unknowingly on the side: "Whether it is such a person or not, you know it in your own hearts." "If Sifang is not selfish, how can he be so keen to follow the flames, please his enemies, and make the Ou family discredited?
Xia Ruixi couldn't help but sneer: "Ou Xinfeng, let me ask you, if we only care about ourselves and don't care about the lives of others, then where did the food in your bowl, the clothes on your body, and the use in your hands come from?" Those are all your fourth uncle, a vassal magnate, who has no filial piety at all, and you don't remember your feelings, but you still have to scold people, and you are ashamed to eat people, isn't this called ingratitude? ”
Ou Xinfeng was annoyed and angry: "I am a child of the Ou family, I am eating and wearing, who ate his and used his?" ”
The Ou family has long been separated, Ou Xinfeng doesn't know, but Aunt Tong knows. The lion's share from the second room also fell into her hands.
She was silent.
Xia Ruixi gritted her teeth with hatred, she had the heart to reason clearly with him, and she felt that she was an elder, and it was really a bit of a discount to reason with such a sour junior who didn't know what to do, so she asked her to endure this breath, and it was really not worth it for Ou Qing.
Ou Qingyuan hurriedly came: "The old lady ordered the fourth master and the fourth young master to go to the ancestral hall. ”
Ou Qingjin whispered to Xia Ruixi: "You go back first, and do whatever you have to do." ”
Aunt Tong was nervous, and wanted to ask Ou Qingyuan's second master if he wanted to punish Ou Xinfeng, but seeing that Ou Qingyuan didn't even look at her, she really couldn't talk, so she had to keep crying, looking so pitiful.
Ou Xinfeng flicked his sleeves: "Go and go, there is reason to go all over the world!" ”
Ou Qingyuan glanced at Ou Qingjin and Xia Ruixi before leaving, and let out a long sigh, his eyes full of helplessness and sighs.
Xia Ruixi intuitively felt that it would not be a good thing, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.
Liang'er persuaded her: "Fourth lady, let's go back, everyone knows who is right and who is wrong in this matter." She looked at Aunt Tong, who was crying non-stop: "You and the fourth master are thin-skinned, and I'm embarrassed to reason with others, but the slaves and maids can't stand it." The slave maid remembered that when the family was separated, the second lady once came to borrow the travel fee from you, saying that most of the second room was divided into the hands of the outer room, and the second lady did not even have the money to go back to her parents' house. The slave and maid couldn't figure it out, since they had already split up, how could they still suffer from these wrongs? It has become a matter of eating and living in vain, which is really thankless. It's better to feed the dogs. ”
Aunt Tong raised her red eyes and looked at Xia Ruixi, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed desperately: "Madam, there are thousands of mistakes, they are all concubines, they have not taught the children well, please adults a lot, don't worry about the children." It's just that the child is the blood of the Ou family no matter what, how can it be said that it is not as good as a dog? ”
Liang'er was taken aback by her move, she was quick and refreshing, who knew that she would meet such a shameless person. is willing to kneel, and his mouth is poisonous, but now it has become Xia Ruixi's, I am afraid that everyone will say that Xia Ruixi connived at the girls and bullied orphans and widows. Liang'er was confused all of a sudden, and looked at Xia Ruixi in fear.
Xia Ruixi glanced at Liang'er reproachfully, and looked at Aunt Tong lightly: "Aunt Tong, you are half a master, why don't you even have the bearing of a master?" If the girl has no rules, I will naturally punish her. Do you need to cry like this? There is no etiquette at all. Are you crying like this, do you want the whole family to think that I am bullying you with a girl? ”
Aunt Tong wiped away her tears: "Naturally not, the fourth lady misunderstood." The concubine is just making amends to the fourth lady for Xin'er, and there are thousands of mistakes, all of which are because the concubine did not teach the children well. ”
Xia Ruixi sneered: "Since it's not, then you can't get up yet?" When Aunt Tong stood up, she said, "If you want to say that you apologize to me for Xin'er, you should do it." It is also right to say that you are not teaching your children well. Send you a word, if you want your child to get ahead and have a place, not only to read good books, but also to have a fame, the key is to learn to be a man first, otherwise no matter how many books you read, you will also read into the dog's belly. After speaking, he didn't look at Aunt Tong, and took all the girls and mothers-in-law back to the Splendid Garden.
Liang'er knelt down automatically when she entered the room: "Madam, the slave knows her mistake, please punish Madame." ”
Xia Ruixi took Da'er from Liao's hand, "Since you know that you are wrong, go and kneel in the courtyard." It's not that she wants to punish Liang'er, it's just that if Liang'er's words reach the ears of Second Master Ou and Second Lady Ou, I'm afraid that the punishment will be heavier, so it's better to strike first.
Liang'er knelt straight into the courtyard, reflecting on her mistakes. She has always taken Chun'er as an example, strict with herself, cautious everywhere, and her previous temper has changed by half, who knows if it is still not enough, or it has caused trouble for the fourth lady.
Ou Qingjin didn't return to the Splendid Garden until noon, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Liang'er kneeling upright on the ground, and commanded softly: "Get up, pack up your things, we are ready to move out." ”
Liang'er's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked without respect, "Why?" ”
Xia Ruixi came out when he heard the voice: "Did my father ask us to move?" ”
Ou Qingjin smiled bitterly and nodded: "Don't blame him, he is also for our good." It's okay to move out, at least you won't be so tired anymore. No matter how ignorant Ou Xinfeng is, his attitude actually represents the attitudes and opinions of many people with the surname Ou and the Xijing family. If the second master Ou does not let Ou Qingjin move out, he is afraid that the reputation of the entire Ou family will be greatly affected, and he, the patriarch, will not be able to convince the public.
Xia Ruixi's heart was bitter and astringent, this was kicked out.
Ou Qingjin held her hand and comforted her with a smile: "Don't be sad, it's good for everyone." Daddy has his difficulties, things didn't go out before, and he could pretend to be dizzy, but now that it's gone, he can't say anything about pretending to be dizzy anymore. Let's move out, you and I will be freer, and besides, haven't we thought about it a long time ago? Someone has to sacrifice, someone has to take on this responsibility, who else but me? In fact, when we move out, the saddest people are my father and mother. ”
"But, but, you ......" Xia Ruixi's tears couldn't help but fall. He has been wronged so much, why is he still laughing?
Ou Qingjin smiled and hugged her into his arms: "Silly girl, what a big deal?" Didn't you always want to move out and live alone? Now that the opportunity has come, why do you still cry instead? Are you reluctant to be a housekeeper? Don't worry, when it's over, I'll let you take care of the house, even with me, okay? Stop crying. ”
Xia Ruixi hugged Ou Qingjin tightly: "Who is patient to take care of this family." Won't I be blessed with good food, good drink, and good sleep? Want to rush up and get tired? ”
Ou Qingjin patted her back and walked in: "Yes, let's be impatient." I've asked Changshou to clean up the house, collect things. ”
Xia Ruixi said pitifully: "It's the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month today, can't we spend the New Year together?" "It's too much, just say that you have to let people move, it's cold and frozen, no matter how helpless Master Ou is, he is too ruthless. She had to think.
Ou Qingjin saw the angry light in her eyes, and reached out to wipe her eyelids: "Don't use this kind of look, the most pitiful person is Daddy." You don't know, when I was a child, the third brother often yelled that my father was partial and favored me. I didn't think it was at the time, I always thought he was doing something wrong, and I didn't know it was true until I got older. He didn't want to marry his third sister-in-law at that time, and his father couldn't help him say a word at all. But I ......"
He sighed, although in the end it was not up to him to decide, but in fact, he was already very tolerant. He has been stumbling for so many years, whether he is high or low, and the second master and his wife have always been willful by him.
Because the Bai family joked that he fell in love with Xia Ruixi, the second elder did everything possible to inquire and test Xia Ruixi and plan for him.
Xia Ruixi was silent, how did Ou Er and his wife treat Ou Qing, she should know in her heart, it has always been spoiled and connived, loved in every way, and planned in every way. Why did she make this mistake, she didn't remember it in the past, and she hated others when she was not good once?
She took a deep breath and squeezed out a wrinkled smile, "I know, I won't resent them." Leave to them what they eat. We only take Liang'er, Liao's and Wang Zhou's, Hua Laohu, and Changshou away. I also have a big sweater just made by my father and mother, which I originally wanted to take out for the New Year, and I will pack it up and send it over. ”
Ou Qingjin's eyes were shining, and he hugged her into his arms: "I knew you would be so considerate and sensible." Xia Ruixi couldn't help but shed tears again.
Everyone in the Splendid Garden was silent and packed up their things, and Xia Ruixi took the key to the account book and went to the upper room to hand it to the Wu family. asked Liao to take Da'er to show his grandmother, since he was kicked out, it would not be so convenient to meet again in the future.
When Mrs. Wang saw Xia Ruixi and a few people coming, she first shed tears: "The fourth master, the fourth lady, it's all the villain's trouble." The old lady is very sad, and the eldest lady and her aunt can't persuade her. ”
Xia Ruixi smiled and comforted Mrs. Wang: "Mother Wang, don't cry, it's not far away, you can see it at any time if you want to." ”
Mrs. Wang collected her tears, pointed to the room and whispered, "The old lady is reprimanding Tong." What is it! It was also her turn to cry and cry in front of the old lady? The good young master has been taught badly, and according to the old slave, this kind of troublemaker should be thrown out. The old lady and the old lady are really kind-hearted! "Young master, she didn't dare to say it, but aunt, she dared to step on two feet.
Xia Ruixi knew that Mrs. Wang was deliberately currying favor with her and Ou Qingjin, so she hurriedly stopped Mrs. Wang: "Mother Wang, don't say that." Anyway, she is also the mother of the fourth young master, and she doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha. "I didn't want to talk more to Mrs. Wang, so I pulled Ou Qingjin into the house.
When she entered the house, she saw Tong lying on the ground trembling, not far from her, there was a broken tea bowl, and there were still some tea leaves on the green brick floor. Mrs. Shang sat on the sidelines, not knowing what to do.
