As soon as she entered the silver building, Chun'er said that she was going to buy some cotton silk threads, weigh some new cotton or something to make clothes and quilts for the future young master, and let Hua Laohu go with her to get things, Xia Ruixi was approved.

Ou Qing sat in the private room of the silver building with a headache, looking at the pile of golden and colorful jewelry in a daze, he didn't understand why Xia Ruixi already had so many jewelry and was so keen to buy jewelry.

After the shopkeeper recommended seven or eight pieces of jewelry in a row, which were rejected by Xia Ruixi for one reason or another, Ou Qing realized that Xia Ruixi didn't plan to buy it at all, but just took a look. Looking at the extremely attentive appearance of the people in the silver building, he asked Xia Ruixi shyly and quietly: "You don't plan to buy it, why do you want someone else's shopkeeper to accompany you and delay someone's time?" Isn't that right? ”

Xia Ruixi said eloquently: "I don't look at it, how do I know if there is anything I like?" He doesn't accompany me to introduce me, how do I know if something is good? Where's the price? Is it worth buying? Besides, I'm watching things here, and the shopkeeper doesn't feel at ease if he doesn't guard him. ”

Ou Qingjin was completely speechless.

The shopkeeper saw that Xia Ruixi always couldn't look down on what he took out, gritted his teeth, and took out a delicate yellow rosewood box, and there was a top jade bracelet lying quietly on the black velvet, twelve green jadeite were cut into a hemispherical shape, wrapped in twelve pieces of gold into a hollow small leaf, the small leaf was shy and timid, half-open and half-closed, and the leaf veins were inlaid with countless star-like diamonds, which became more and more jadeite and attractive, and the diamonds were lovely and fresh like dewdrops.

Xia Ruixi was immediately attracted, and when the shopkeeper looked at her eyes, he knew that she had taken a good look at this thing, and said proudly: "This is not an ordinary product, this jade bead alone is worth three hundred taels of silver." In addition to this craftsmanship, gold and diamonds are even more valuable. But the young grandmother is a regular customer, and the villain will give you a discount, as long as you have four thousand taels of silver, what do you think? ”

Ou Qingjin gasped, they only needed eight hundred taels to buy a small courtyard, and this string of ghost stones that could not be eaten or worn cost four thousand taels? Originally, he didn't see these things at home, but he never put his mind on them, he only knew that they were good things, but he didn't know how much they were worth.

Xia Ruixi smiled silently, and after admiring it carefully, he motioned to the shopkeeper to put it away: "Things are good things." But I think that this jade bracelet is more suitable for older people, and it is too expensive. ”

"It's not expensive anymore, and it almost doesn't make your money." The shopkeeper still wanted to persuade again, but Xia Ruixi had already pushed the box away very resolutely. The shopkeeper estimated that this business would not be done, so he smiled and put the box away, and turned to recommend something else.

Ou Qingjin began to feel uncomfortable, he knew that Xia Ruixi liked that thing very much, and he didn't buy it just because he didn't have money. As a man who loves his wife, he really wants to make the decision to let Xia Ruixi buy it, but unfortunately he is shy in his pocket, and he doesn't dare to stand up for this waist.

After borrowing someone's private room to sit and drink good tea for a long time, Xia Ruixi still decided to buy something. picked and chosen, and finally picked a pair of white jade inlaid with broken pink diamond wind chime-shaped earrings worth only fifty taels of silver, and then Chun'er and Hua Lao also came back with a lot of boxes.

Xia Ruixi saw Chun'er smiling at her, knowing that the matter was done, and asked Ou Qing to pay with a smile: "You haven't given me anything since you got married." ”

When Ou Qing paid the money, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "Four less, how many good talents are there for less grandmothers?" is virtuous and quiet, not to mention a pair of earrings, even if the gold and silver mountains are moved back to her, it is worth it. ”

Ou Qingjin smiled bitterly, Xia Ruixi said that he asked him to pay and let him send things to her, which was to give him face, but in fact, it was not Xia Ruixi's own money that was spent. The little money given by the family to buy some ordinary small things is okay, if you want to buy these valuable things, it is not enough at all. He didn't have much savings before, and he spent all his money with his friends. Thinking about the situation when Xia Ruixi liked the bracelet, but resolutely pushed it back, he was extremely uncomfortable, and he had to think of a way to make some money.

After the things to be done were done, Xia Ruixi no longer asked to go to other places, and got into the carriage. Ou Qing saw her holding the pair of earrings and looking at the sun over and over again, her face was full of joy, so she suppressed the little discomfort in her heart, teasing and coaxing her to be happy, but she swore in her heart that she must make a lot of money in the future so that she can buy whatever she wants.

At this time, he completely forgot that when he first entered the silver building, he had secretly complained that Xia Ruixi still wanted to see and buy so many jewelry, and he only wanted to meet Xia Ruixi's preferences and requirements.

The carriage drove into the small courtyard of Wenyuan Street, and sure enough, it was as clean and tidy as Li Niang said, with lush flowers and trees, and the house was repainted, and it looked brand new. According to Xia Ruixi's instructions, the decoration in the house is low-key and unassuming, clean and refreshing, and it looks like an ordinary solid family.

The old man who watched the yard was the old slave of the Xia family, and after everyone arrived, they boiled a pot of boiling water, and they couldn't find anything to say, just looking at Xia Ruixi and Ou Qingjin smirking.

Ou Qing thought about other things in his heart, and absentmindedly accompanied Xia Ruixi to look around, no matter what Xia Ruixi said, he said yes.

Xia Ruixi wanted to lose her temper, and it was not her home alone, what was the use of her being enthusiastic alone?

Chun'er soon found that Xia Ruixi was sulking, and quietly reminded Ou Qingjin. Ou Qingjin raised his spirits and took the initiative to discuss with her that he wanted to build a pavilion in the backyard and plant some plum blossoms, so that he could eat barbecue and enjoy plum blossoms with her in winter. Xia Ruixi's face looked better.

While the two were talking, Hua Lao came in at the gate of the courtyard and beckoned to Liang'er. Liang'er understood, hurriedly went out quietly, and after a while, he came in and gave Ou Qing a look: "Fourth Shao, there is a son outside who said that he is your friend, because he saw the carriage and the group at the door just now, and he came to visit you." ”

Ou Qingjin looked at the scorching sunlight in the sky, and instructed the two girls: "The sun is a little poisonous, you help the young grandmother to go into the house to rest for a while, drink some tea, and be careful about heat stroke." ”

Xia Ruixi felt that he was too fussed: "What is the weather in this month?" Can the sun in March burn people to heat stroke? ”

Ou Qingjin said with a calm face: "Let you go in and rest for a while, why is there so much nonsense?" Do you want me to take you out in the future? ”

Xia Ruixi hurriedly lowered his head and made a small gesture: "Yes, I listen to my husband." I'm just resting. ”

Ou Qingjin watched Xia Ruixi enter the house to rest, and then straightened his robe and went out to meet the guests. What was waiting in the outer courtyard was not any of his friends, but Cui Yuan, the chief housekeeper of the Xia family.

Cui Yuan's face was sad and indignant: "Second aunt, the younger one went to the house first, and I heard that you took the second aunt and grandmother out, and found it here again...... You have to go to this thing, the family is now in chaos, people are turning over on their backs, Mrs. ordered, please hide it from the second aunt and grandmother first, she can't help being angry now. ”

Ou Qingjin immediately arranged for Hua Laohu to guard Xia Ruixi in the courtyard, and asked Liang'er to tell Xia Ruixi to let her sleep here, and when he came back to pick her up, he rode a horse and went to Xia's house with Cui Yuan.

Xia Ruixi was lying on the big bed that was about to become their main house, holding a wooden box full of gold bars in one hand, and playing with the green tassels on the pink and green gauze tent in the other. ”

Chun'er said: "The slave maid has seen it just now, this yard is full of flowers and trees, and you can bury them everywhere, you just need to say which flowers and trees you want to transplant, dig a pit, and then take the people away, and it is logical to bury it, and then plant flowers, and you can't see anything." No one can guess. ”

Xia Ruixi said: "But I still want to build a cellar and hide more grain." Seeing that Chun'er was puzzled, she smiled and said, "I don't know why, since I met that group of victims, I have always been worried that I will be hungry." I just thought that I had to hide more food to be sure. ”

Chun'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Ordinary people's homes have more or less a cellar for storing grain and pickles, and if the young grandmother likes it, she can also repair one." Anyway, the young master wants to repair the pavilion for you to enjoy the flowers, so I took the opportunity to repair it together. ”

Xia Ruixi said "um", and when he saw that Chun'er wanted to speak and stopped, he said: "I see that you have been holding back for a long time, what do you want to say?" ”

Chun'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Young grandma, you still don't plan to tell Si Shao?" You hide it from Liang'er because you are worried that she will be quick to talk and can't hide things in your heart. But Si Shao, he has a good character, he is your husband, and he is your lifelong dependence, you don't believe that he doesn't rely on him, who else can you rely on? Moreover, the slave is worried that one day Si Shao will be angry with you if he finds out about this. ”

Xia Ruixi didn't squeak for a long time, needless to say, if Ou Qingjin suddenly knew about the existence of this money in the future, he would definitely be very angry and disappointed, he was such a proud person, but she didn't trust him.

She kept saying that she believed in Ou Qingjin, and she tried to convince herself like this. But at the end of the day, she subconsciously just believed in herself. I've seen too many stories of joys and sorrows, so what if you love each other? Even if it is a couple who has been suffering for decades, there are times when they change their minds and are unreliable, let alone her and him? People who have lived together for less than half a year?

Although Ou Qingjin never left her alone when the two were still unrelated and had no reason, Xia Ruixi always felt that holding a little money in her hand could give her a sense of security and remind her that she didn't need to live on anyone, she was independent, she didn't need to look at anyone's face, and she didn't have to please anyone. Maybe one day, after experiencing enough and he has not let her down, she will choose to believe in him unconditionally, but definitely not now.

But what to do? She is so lonely and helpless in this world, although there are many "relatives" and they are very good to her, she has never been able to believe in and rely on them unconditionally like the real Miss Xia Er. Ideologically, she is lonely, lonely.

In the past, she was only one person, and there was nothing to be afraid of dying, but now with this little life in her womb, there are many more fetters, more calculations and concerns, and responsibilities.

Seeing that she was silent, Chun'er said euphemistically: "The slave just thinks that you can trust the slave and the maid, you can trust the flower tiger, why can't you trust the four young people?" ”

Xia Ruixi muttered: "You won't betray me." Hua Lao Hu didn't know what was going on with my money, didn't you tell him at the time that you were helping the wife of the family change it? "In fact, the most important point is that none of them can make decisions for the money in her hand, but Ou Qingjin can.
