Chapter VIII: Exhortation (4)

Wan'er originally slept on the floor next to Xia Ruixi's bed, but when she heard her tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she said boldly: "Miss, can't you sleep?" Now that the matter has been decided, and the fourth young master has also said that he is not unwilling to marry you, and he will not be sorry for you in the future, what are you worried about? ”

Xia Ruixi sighed, "What do you know? The reason why he was willing to marry me was probably because he felt that I was more acceptable to him than other women, and he didn't really treat me... Alas, I told you that you don't understand either. ”

Wan'er said: "Actually, the slave understands. Isn't it good that he thinks you're more acceptable to him than other women? It shows that in his eyes, you are better than others. In other words, if the lord and the lady have to let you marry someone you don't know and don't know your character, don't you have to marry too? "Which woman is pregnant? Who wouldn't want to find a husband who truly loves them? Wan'er understands, she thinks that the words of the fourth young master Ou are enough, after all, a marriage like that of Master Xia and Mrs. Xia is rare in the world.

Xia Ruixi smiled, saying this, she is really mediocre, and she must remember that this is not the era she came from. It is a blind marriage and a dumb marriage, and in the era when marriage is not autonomous, her ability is limited, and it is impossible to be an enemy of the whole time and customs.

"Wan'er, can you tell me about their family again? For example, how is the temperament and so on. Xia Ruixi finally began to take the initiative to inquire about the Ou family. She remembers a sentence, don't hate fate, don't submit to fate, be a friend of fate. Since she can't change her fate, she will try her best to adapt, know herself and her opponent, and know more about the affairs of the Ou family, which is always good for herself. She doesn't have to fall in love with Ou Qingjin, but she can make Ou Qingjin fall in love with her, otherwise, she also wants him to respect her, and have a certain status in his heart, so that she can be less angry in the future.

Wan'er smiled: "Miss is afraid that their family will be stingy, right?" ”

Xia Ruixi is indeed afraid that the Ou family is a miser.

After getting along for a while, she finally understood why the Ou family went to propose marriage at the beginning, and Master Xia would suspect that the Ou family was for the Xia family's money. Because the people of the Ou family, from the master to the subordinates, are all dressed very decently, and the things they use are also very exquisite, and they really look like the style of a century-old family.

But the second master Ou's attitude towards money is too ungenerous.

The attitude of the father and son of the Ou family towards money is too different, Ou Qing is very generous with money, and often rewards his subordinates, and the subordinates look at him with eyebrows and smiles, four young and four short. Ou Er Master is a little stingy, every time he stays in the hotel to eat, when he wants to settle the bill, although he asks the housekeeper Ou Mo to settle the bill, but the last person to settle the bill is always the Xia family, the only time his family settles the bill, or Ou Sishao's face is too ugly, the housekeeper Ou Mo grabbed Xia Jin to death, and finally did not let the Xia family settle the bill.

Although Master Xia was very happy to spend money for the Ou family, the people were secretly talking about it, saying that the second master Ou was so stingy, and he didn't know where the reputation of the Ou family's great kindness came from. Xia Ruixi also thought that Ou Qingjin was an outlier and could not be counted, but others were not. When the family is still so stingy, even if others are not stingy, they will definitely not be generous. If the whole family is a miser, then there is something to play.

Wan'er said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about this. The second lady of Ou is famous for her kindness and generosity, and the eldest and third young of the Ou family are also very kind and generous people. It's just that Ou Sanshao's grandmother, you've seen it, it's not easy to get along with. Even if their family is like this, Si Shao is not that kind of person, you have a dowry. Closing the yard door can make a small life very good, what are you afraid of? ”

Xia Ruixi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Master Ou Er is the other, she doesn't have to worry about the situation that Yan Jian Sheng will not lose his anger if he stretches out two fingers and does not extinguish an extra wick.

Before the car galloped into Xijing City, the chief housekeeper Cui Yuan had already brought a few house slaves to meet him, and when he saw Master Xia, Cui Yuan's chubby face was smiling together, and he first greeted his master, and then saluted to Ou Er and Ou Qing.

After leaving for half a year, he suddenly saw his family, and Master Xia was also happy, and hurriedly asked Cui Yuan how the situation was at home.

Cui Yuan smiled: "Back to the master's words." Everything is fine at home, the old woman is healthy, everything is fine with the lady, and the little master of the eldest lady is white and fat, smart and clever. The young master's books are also very good, and the uncle has successfully passed the school examination several times, and the uncle has praised him several times. Originally, the young master was going to pick up the master and the two young ladies with the slave today, but the lady didn't let him go to the school. Looking at Old Man Xia's hair a lot grayer, he sighed, "Master has worked hard." ”

Master Xia touched his head: "It's getting older and older, isn't it?" ”

Cui Yuan grinned and said, "The master is in the prime of life. ”

Master Ou Er said solemnly beside him: "My parents are still there, where can I say that I am old?" I'm over 60 years old, and I don't dare to say I'm old. "It's just because Mrs. Ou is still there, so he never dares to call him old.

Master Xia was dumbfounded, he just said it so casually, who knew that the second master Ou was serious, so he smiled and said: "Yes, Brother Zhijun is very right, the younger brother has been taught." Just as he was saying happily, the Ou family also arrived, and the two families said goodbye to each other, and they went back to their respective homes without mentioning it.

As soon as the carriage of the Xia family appeared at the corner of the street, Xia Ruiyu rushed forward, stood in front of the horse, hugged Master Xia's legs, and was overjoyed: "Daddy, daddy." He ran to the back again and poked his head into the carriage: "Second sister! What about the third sister? Without waiting for Xia Ruixi to answer, he ran to the back carriage and opened the curtain again: "Third sister! ”

"Come here!" Old Man Xia took the handle of the horsewhip and looked at Xia Ruiyu's head: "Didn't you say that you went to the academy?" Why is it here? What about Xia Hong? ”

Xia Rui rolled his eyes: "The master is sick." Xia Hong is holding my schoolbag behind him, you see, didn't he follow? ”

Master Xia raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Xia Ruiyu's elder walking here with Xia Hong holding his schoolbag with a sad face. Old Man Xia looked at Xia Ruiyu suspiciously: "Why is the master so coincidentally sick today?" Someone else in the school also put it away? ”

Xia Ruiyu didn't answer, grabbed the reins with one hand, grabbed the saddle with the other, and automatically climbed to Master Xia immediately: "Daddy, give me a hand, my son wants to kill you!" ”

Master Xia said: "Go and ride in the carriage with your second sister." It's not ashamed to be so big and squeeze with your father! ”

Xia Ruiyu said seriously: "It is precisely because my son is older that I can't ride in a car like a woman, and I have to ride a horse with my father." ”

Master Xia was helpless, so he climbed onto the horse with his face salivated and nested in his arms. Xia Ruiyan's coquettish wish was fulfilled, and he suppressed the joy in his heart, and tried to make a calm appearance: "Daddy, you have to relax your whole body when riding a horse, right?" ”

Master Xia didn't know what the hell he was thinking, so he nodded.
