Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dismount (1)
Seeing that it was Xia Ruixi and Ou Qingjin, everyone came over to say hello. It turned out that there were no spare rooms in the Splendid Courtyard, and the people who came to Xia Ruixi to marry had no place to live, so the steward planned to vacate those wings and paint them again.
After hearing the reason, Ou Qingjin glanced at Xia Ruixi, for fear that she would be unhappy. I saw Xia Ruixi's face faint, and he couldn't see anything. Then he frowned and asked the steward: "Ah Zhang, didn't you prepare in advance?" Why are you preparing your house now? "How many people are there to marry, the Xia family has notified them in advance, and the place where they live should have been prepared a long time ago, and now they have come to vacate the house, there must be something wrong in the middle.
The steward hurriedly came over to ask for peace, and said: "Back to the fourth young master's words, the master is very happy, the lady has assigned the tasks to everyone, and the slave was previously responsible for counting the gifts given to the fourth young master everywhere."
This morning, I heard what Bichen said, and the minions only then knew that the house was not enough to live in, and last night it was a few people who stayed overnight in other places. "It's just a man, he can't live in the inner courtyard in the first place, and it's nothing to squeeze with other people, but the two daughters-in-law squeezed with other mothers-in-law all night and suffered all night. I didn't say hello when I got up early in the morning, and I didn't eat breakfast until now, so I was full of gas.
Ou Qing said solemnly: "Who is responsible for this matter?" There was anger in his tone. Intuitively, he knew that this was not an accidental mistake, but man-made, deliberate, and someone wanted to embarrass Xia Ruixi.
Ah Zhang hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "The slave doesn't know." "The way he looks, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he knows who it is, but he doesn't dare to say it or doesn't want to say it.
Ah Zhang's reaction confirmed Ou Qingjin's conjecture even more, his eyebrows suddenly rose, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "You are the steward of my courtyard, you don't know, who knows?" I don't know if I ask three questions, what's the use of you? ”
Ah Zhang was so frightened that he knelt down and kept begging for mercy, and the other subordinates also stopped their work when they heard the sound and looked over here.
Xia Ruixi saw that the heat was almost over, so he grabbed Ou Qingjin's sleeve and said gently: "What's the matter?" Everyone is very busy, tired for a long time, and it is also hard. Don't you see that Steward Zhang just heard about this matter, and was busy packing up the arrangements early in the morning? Don't be angry. ”
Ou Qingjin looked back at her and said, "But they went too far...... He didn't have to guess to know that this must have been done by one of his three sisters-in-law, and the most likely person was the Bai family, which was the next step. Although it was done for Xia Ruixi to see, it hurt his face. ”
Xia Ruixi smiled and said sincerely: "I know, it is inevitable to make mistakes in busyness, when doing things, who is all-encompassing?" From now on, they are all a family, and no one cares. "When she first arrived, she hadn't yet gained a firm foothold, she couldn't be rash, she had to keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and keep a secret record of these things.
Ou Qing saw that her smile didn't seem to be forced, so he said to Ah Zhang: "Since the young grandmother is interceding for you, you get up!" Remember, since you are from my yard, you should be on a good errand! Although he was very angry, after thinking about it, he felt that this matter could not be caused to his parents. Getting stiff, although it can be out of breath for a while, it is not conducive to Xia Ruixi's integration into the family.
The subordinates looked at the demeanor of the two of them, and they all got a message, it seems that the fourth young grandmother likes the fourth young grandmother very much? So much to her opinion.
Ah Zhang thanked him, and immediately leaned over and nodded and said to Xia Ruixi: "Please take a look at the young grandmother, how are these rooms?" It's a little narrower, but overall it's good. ”
Since he asked, Xia Ruixi simply said according to his own thoughts: "Among the people I brought, except for the two girls, the others have become families, and they should no longer live in this courtyard." According to the rules of our mother's family, everything that has become a family must be specially assigned to them in the outer courtyard to give them a house, and then come in every morning to do errands. I'm new to the city and I don't know what best way to arrange it. What do you think should be arranged? Chapter steward? ”
Ah Zhang wiped the sweat on his forehead that did not exist with his followers, and looked sincerely afraid: "Young grandmother, just call the slave Ah Zhang." This is also the arrangement at home, you can rest assured, the slave will arrange it properly, and ensure that a few people will be placed tomorrow at the latest. ”
Xia Ruixi nodded: "Then you have to work for you, and you have to worry more about the furniture and utensils that should be rationed, if you need to pay for it yourself, you just have to come to me to get it." ”
Ah Zhang hurriedly said: "If you don't need it, wait for the slave to know the manager, and it will be all in accordance with the management." ”
A guy came over and said, "Steward Zhang, is this house still vacant?" ”
Ah Zhang's eyes widened: "Why don't you take off?" Otherwise, where do you put your little grandma's things? And where do the two girls, Chun'er and Liang'er, live? Turning back at Xia Ruixi, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Young grandma, the slave plans to open up the two rooms next to the main house, strengthen them again, make them into a warehouse, and give you a dowry, what do you think?" ”
Ah Zhang is really funny, Ou Qingjin just lost his temper for her, and he stuck it along the pole. Sure enough, Mrs. Xia is right, the little daughter-in-law has a man to support her, and her life is much better. Xia Ruixi didn't answer Ah Zhang's words, and turned to see what Ou Qingjin meant, the original owner of the house was Ou Qingjin, how to renovate, you still have to listen to his opinion first.
Ou Qingjin smiled and nodded: "Yes, I think it's arranged like this, Ah Zhang, you have to get things done." Now lead them down to eat first, and then arrange their daily meals for the next few days, if there is one thing that is not settled, I only ask you! ”
Xia Ruixi took the opportunity to say: "Everyone has worked hard these days, Si Shao and I invite everyone to drink." Liang'er hurriedly used the tray to carry the reward money out, Xia Ruixi personally distributed the reward money, and by the way, he recognized the people in the Splendid Courtyard. She noticed that when she was doing these things, Ou Qingjin had been observing her very carefully, and Xia Ruixi understood this very well, just like she secretly observed him, he was also trying to understand her character, which was a step in the run-in of husband and wife, which was very critical and essential.
After everyone received the reward according to their rank, they were obviously much more active in their work, and they were much more polite to the people from the Xia family. Immediately, someone took the initiative to take Zhou Chun's family and Ma Youjia to dinner, and the originally dull atmosphere became cheerful.
Xia Ruixi squinted his eyes and thought, is it difficult and dismounting? Who wouldn't meet newcomers? The key is to see what you think, how you look at it, anyway, she won't be too angry, as long as she can find a way to get things done, it will be a slap in the face.
She believed that everyone was waiting to see her reaction with one eye closed at this time, and some people were waiting to see her jokes. Besides, it is not about the people in this courtyard, if she does not forgive, punishes the subordinates, and makes trouble in front of Mrs. Ou, people only need to say too many things, negligence, and push it clean in a few words, and then they apologize to her in a high-profile manner, she will become famous, and her reputation for being rude and uneducated will be even more confirmed. At that time, everyone will only say that she does not know the general situation and is stingy, and the angry subordinates will not blame others, but will only blame her.
And she believes that for this matter, Ou Qingjin's temperament will only be more angry than her, he has tolerated it, what can't she tolerate? In this case, she only needs to be generous, sensible, gentle and considerate in an attitude, and she can naturally be loved and respected by her in-laws and husband. "You don't have to put everything on your face, you have to pretend to be modified." This is what Ou Qingjin taught her.
After arranging the angry Zhou Chunjia and Ma Youjia, after finishing the chores, Xia Ruixi was still looking around at the layout of the Splendid Courtyard, and Ou Qing hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't be busy, I drank two sips of water when I got up early in the morning, and you're busy until now, aren't you hungry?" I asked someone to prepare something delicious for you, and if you don't go, it will be cold. ”
Xia Ruixi was already hungry and didn't want to eat, but hearing that he was so careful and thoughtful, he naturally wanted to eat some if he didn't want to.
The two entered the house hand in hand, Bi Jin opened the lid of a large bowl on the table, and a strong smell of chicken soup came out, Xia Ruixi took a look, it was actually black chicken, shiitake mushroom and wolfberry soup. She knows that black chicken has both food and medicine, and it is a good food for nourishing women's qi and blood. She only shed a few drops of blood yesterday, but he stewed a pot of black chicken soup for her.
Ou Qing carefully skimmed off the oil foam from the spoon and bowl in Bijin's hand, picked up a bowl of soup and handed it to Xia Ruixi. Xia Ruixi looked at him with a treasure-like expression, and said that she didn't dare to move, it was fake, and at this moment, he was as cute as an angel for her who was tired and tired and a little annoyed and helpless. Master Xia's eye for people is really accurate, this is really a rare good man.
It doesn't matter if he loves her or not, but because she is his wife, he treats her so carefully and gently. At that moment, Xia Ruixi made up her mind, if nothing else, just for this bowl of black chicken soup and this gentle and considerate, she also had to hold him firmly in her hands and be trapped in her heart.
Chun'er and Liang'er saw that these two people were eyebrows, and they looked at each other, and wanted to go out of the house, but when they turned around, they saw the blue marks, and the wooden stakes were still moving. Liang'er is angry in her heart, what is the master doing with you cultivating feelings? stepped forward and pulled Bijin: "Sister Bijin, please take me to see where our young lady's things are, I want to clean up." ”
Bijin looked at the two people sitting and drinking soup, and said embarrassedly: "But the fourth young man and the young grandmother need someone to serve them when they eat." ”
Xia Ruixi said: "You all go down, see what should be collected, put it away, I'll clean it up later." And Chun'er didn't eat either, Bi Jin, you can take her to dinner by the way. ”
"Yes, Fourth Young Grandma." replied, but her body didn't move. After being silent for a moment, seeing that Ou Qingjin didn't look at them at all, he only cared about the chicken clip he found in the bowl and gave it to Xia Ruixi, so he had to retreat gloomily.
The leftover women are not ladylike
