Xia Ruixi felt that the Bai family seemed to mean something, so he walked into the house and said, "Miss Lin is very knowledgeable, and she is the daughter of Qingjin's teacher, I am grateful to Master Lin for saving Qingjin." She didn't like or dislike Lin Qingmei, it was just because Ou Qing was grateful to Master Lin that she was so polite to Lin Qingmei.

The Wu family in the house was persuading the Xue family, who was crying, "The second uncle is also too noisy, but don't be annoyed, didn't that one succeed in the end?" ”

Xue sighed: "How do you know, over the years, I haven't let go, and he has never raised those two girls as concubines, I thought he cared about the relationship between husband and wife, who knows, it turned out that he had already raised an outer room outside, and his son had already taken the Xiucai exam, and he made trouble with me every day, saying that Yang'er was not a weapon, and he wanted to take the slut mother and son into the door, recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." If it weren't for the old lady's incident, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get through it. He cried again.

Mother Su, who was closest to the Xue family, said, "Young Grandma, don't you know that the temper of the second young master is ...... We can't stop it. Pity our second young grandmother, when she was at home, her oily skin never broke a little. ”

Even if he sympathized with the Xue family, but the matter of the two of them, the Wu family didn't have much to say, so he had to persuade: "You can bear with it, no matter how it is, it will be a concubine, and you and Yang'er will not be able to go beyond you." Who called us women? Don't I have one in my house? Don't I have to endure it too? You want to open some. ”

Xue cried: "He doesn't treat me as a wife, he is so ruthless, I really can't swallow this breath." My Yang'er is not a weapon, but isn't there still Ju'er and Kang'er? Why are you bullying people like this? If he really responds to him, where will there be a place for our mothers and sons in the future? ”

Hearing this, Xue was beaten by Er Shao. Xia Ruixi inadvertently listened to it completely, and wanted to enter the house, but he was afraid of Xue's embarrassment, after all, these women from the family value decency more than anything else. Otherwise, before this, Fairview Garden would not have heard any rumors.

was in a dilemma, Bai raised his eyebrows: "Fourth brother and sister, I heard that you have built a greenhouse in the backyard to raise delicate flowers, how about taking me to open my eyes?" ”

This is a good idea, Xia Ruixi raised his voice and said: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law are going to see the small greenhouse I built, do you want to go together?" ”

Xue Shi was talking about the sad place, his eyes were red again, tears were shed, and he was embarrassed, where would he go? The Wu family also wanted to stay with her, so naturally they didn't go.

Bai took Xia Ruixi with him: "They are not interested in these flowers and grasses, so let's go." ”

Entering the flower room, Bai squatted next to a Wei Zi, and while counting how many flower buds there were, he said, "I don't know what she is crying about, right?" ”

Xia Ruixi said ignorantly: "Maybe Yang'er is disobedient?" ”

Bai Shi compared the action of being beaten, and said with a sarcastic smile: "The second uncle is so majestic, he doesn't do anything, he relies on his wife and children to support his wife and children, and he wanders around with the power of his wife's uncle, and he thinks that he is great, and everyone respects him Ou Ershao, but I don't know that what people respect is the silver of the Ou family and the power of the Xue family." This is just the opposite, the most hateful thing is to take his wife's dowry to raise his outer room, and when he comes home, he beats his wife. Biased her, she's stupid! Thinking that she would be relieved to submit two unfavored intercourse? Joke! ”

Xia Ruixi listened quietly, she was a little unsure whether Bai Shi deliberately said these rights and wrongs to her, or if she really loved gossip so bluntly all along?

said that the Bai family is not straightforward and does not love gossip, when Xia Ruixi first met the Bai family, the Bai family unscrupulously said in front of Mrs. Shang, Mrs. Xia and her that Ou Qingjin was not, and the undisguised contempt, jealousy and disgust and exclusion of Lin Qingmei, and the behavior of not knowing how to hide her careful thinking in front of her in-laws and husband, all made people have to think that she was a woman who was a little straight to the point of stupidity.

Speaking of straightforwardness, there is no scheming, she just defeated the powerful eldest daughter-in-law Wu and the Xue family, who was born as a young lady in the official family, in this family, and assisted the second lady Ou as a housekeeper, which can also make the subordinates fearful.

Bai didn't expect Xia Ruixi to answer at all, and said to himself: "You don't know yet, the son raised by the second uncle outside is only half a year younger than Yang'er, and my father has asked your third brother to go and see it quietly. ”

Speaking of this, the Bai family was a little gloating: "The second uncle said that the Xue family pampered his son to the point of no return, and the loving mother had many defeated children, and he didn't care about raising Yang'er like this, but the child outside was a good seedling, and it was a pity to let it go outside, and it was also the blood and blood of the Ou family, and there would be meritorious achievements in the future. ”

"When treating the old lady's funeral, the second uncle wanted to take this opportunity to let the child come to the old lady's wake, so that he could recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. I guess that no matter how dead she is, it will only be a matter of age, and the woman and her son will have to be brought in the door. It's better to be generous, and get some favors, and everyone is decent."

Xia Ruixi didn't think so, isn't the eldest brother of the Xue family a big official? The Ou family is not what it used to be, it is an eventful time, and there are still many places to rely on others, unless the second master Ou is a fool, he will offend the Xue family's maiden family at this time. No matter how much Master Ou Er attaches importance to that child, the difference between the sister-in-law and the concubine is always great. Therefore, the second young man and the outer room, in the past few years, do not want to enter the door of the Ou family, the second master Ou will allocate some living expenses at most, and then introduce a good gentleman to the child.

Seeing that Xia Ruixi had only listened and didn't speak, Bai Shi poked her: "Do you think this is the reason?" ”

Bai Shi is standing and talking without backache, just looking at the two dead Tongmen in her room and her hostility towards Lin Qingmei, you can know her attitude towards concubines and Tongmi, but at this time, she is laughing at Xue's unreasonable here? Can't do favors?

Xia Ruixi had no intention of entanglement with her on these issues, so she responded vaguely, remembering that after Ou Qingjin came back yesterday, he specifically told her to let her find a way to keep the long-term follower who had been following the old lady as a longevity. Then he changed the topic: "I heard that I was going to send all the people in the old lady's house, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Bai Shi stretched out two fingers: "There are no florists and sprinklers in Fushoutang, there are more than 20 people who serve the old lady, and now that the old lady has ascended to heaven, it is useless to keep them." The manpower in each room and courtyard is also full, and my father said that when he saw them, he remembered the old lady - sad, so he naturally had to give it out. ”

When I saw these slaves, I thought of the old lady, obviously because I was strapped for money, and I wanted to streamline the servants in the family, but I had to find some nice excuses.

Xia Ruixi didn't poke it either, and said innocently: "Also, yesterday Qingjin went out, and I just happened to meet the longevity next to the old lady, and I sighed for half the weather when I came back." Dao is a blind old lady in the longevity family, and she depends on him to support her, so it's not pitiful. If longevity is really sold, no one wants his blind old lady, but it will be miserable. Speaking of which, there is only one ignorant child around Qingjin. ”

Changshou has been serving in the old lady's study, and his knowledge is no less than that of those so-called children of the family. Originally, Ou Qingjin didn't take a fancy to him, but he found Ou Qingjin and cried bitterly, even if he lived or died, he had to follow Ou Qingjin.

Ou Qing thought of longevity by the old lady's side over the years, and also met a lot of people with heads and faces, his knowledge should be good, if he really became a leader in the future, there was a lack of such a person around him, whether it was to be a master or a housekeeper, it was not bad, so he discussed with Xia Ruixi to leave longevity.

It stands to reason that you just need to talk to Mrs. Ou about this, but the long-lived mother, who was a red worker next to Mrs. Ou, once offended Mrs. Ou with her pampering, and the last thing Mrs. Ou wanted to see was her, and even with her longevity, she suffered an unjustified disaster. As soon as the old lady died, someone was busy currying favor with Mrs. Ou and included longevity in the list of slaves to be sold.

Bai Shi was silent for a long time and said, "Everyone has difficulties, but he is not the only one who is pitiful?" This matter was agreed by my father and mother a long time ago, and no one dared to say much. ”

Xia Ruixi begged the Bai family this time, and she was a little unhappy when she saw her so faceless, who didn't know that the Ou family's personnel deployment power was directly in her hands? Although it is said that the people in Fushoutang will be sent out, those who are used to it, those who are powerful, and those who have a little way are not included.

Although Mrs. Ou didn't like longevity, she didn't specifically name her and said that she was not allowed to live long. As long as Bai Shi opened his eyes and closed his eyes, everyone would be happy.

If it is the Xue family of the noodle melon, Xia Ruixi also understands that she is afraid of offending her mother-in-law. But for the Bai family, how did she do this, and then she didn't know it casually and passed it perfunctorily, very relaxed, what did she do?

Xia Ruixi was unhappy, so he said: "Since this is the case, forget it." I'm afraid that the two sisters-in-law are in a hurry, let's go back? ”

Bai Shi naturally saw that she was unhappy, and took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Fourth brother and sister, you are not angry, I really can't hide it from you, I really can't do this matter of longevity." Don't blame me, people think that I have the final say on these things in this family, but in fact, I don't want to listen to my mother in everything. ”

Xia Ruixi smiled faintly: "The third sister-in-law is right, even if I don't rely on you." Even though I'm young, I still know this. Since my father and mother have spoken, those of us who are children naturally cannot be disobedient. How can I blame you? ”

Bai Shi coughed lowly: "It's good if you understand, it would be good if you said this matter earlier, but you said it was too late." ”
