Chapter 9 Family Affairs
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Xia Ruixi's remaining three Ruyao cups were reimbursed again. Xia Ruibei still didn't understand her hatred, and she wanted to smash it, Xia Ruixi opened her arms with a dark face and blocked her, and said, "Sister, you have seen it, who is unreasonable, who is playing barbaric." ”
Xia Ruinan was afraid that the two would make a move, so he hurriedly squeezed into the middle of the two to play a round: "Forget it, forget it." You can buy it if the cup is broken, you can buy it again if the clothes are broken, no one matters, right? Beibei, look, you broke your second sister's cup, and she didn't say anything, did she? ”
Xia Ruibei opened her mouth, tears rolled in her eyes, and pointed at Xia Ruixi, wanting to be unrelenting, and feeling that she had just deliberately broken someone's cup, and they really didn't say anything. I wanted to say two nice words, but I really couldn't say it, so I stomped my feet and went away hatefully.
When Xia Ruibei walked away, Xia Ruinan pointed at Xia Ruixi and sighed: "I also said that you are okay, who knows that you still look like you are unwilling to suffer." You! ”
Xia Ruixi said: "Her clothes, although they are all gold, are something that money can buy, and ten pieces can't catch up with my cup." If a set of cups is broken, who will suffer? ”
"Looks like you've forgotten? This is her first Yunjin dress. When the daughter of our Xia family grows up to the age of twelve, her mother will make a Yunjin dress for her, and we will take good care of this dress. I'm still here, you've gone too far. ”
When Xia Ruixi heard this, she was dumbfounded, she didn't know the special significance of this dress, and she was even more afraid of making Mrs. Xia angry. Wu said stiffly: "Since it is so precious, why doesn't she put it away and wear it out to show it everywhere?" Isn't mine unworn? She had seen a brand new robe made of light green folded flowers and satin under her suitcase, neatly stacked and covered with a layer of moisture-proof oiled paper, which showed the importance that the original body attached to it. It turned out to be made by Mrs. Xia herself, which has such a meaning.
"She's such a temperament. I'm afraid that everyone will forget that she is the youngest and most favored Miss Xia San. Don't blame her, she is the youngest, it stands to reason that her parents should spoil her more, but you are unconscious, the whole family is worried about you, and they are idle, but they have snubbed her. She doesn't look as good as you, and people are not as smart as you, but she is well-behaved, but she is not as favored as you, and it is inevitable that she will have some thoughts in her heart. ”
It turned out that the root cause was here, Xia Ruixi remembered Xia Ruibei's aggrieved and uncomfortable appearance when she left, and she was a child less than fourteen years old, so she suddenly softened and said, "I'll go and apologize to her." ”
"No need, you stabbed the hornet's nest, she won't forgive you. Beibei is stingy, I don't know what to think of to disgust you, you better be more careful in the future. Xia Ruinan moved her waist, Xia Ruixi hurriedly handed her a lumbar pillow, and waited for her to sit comfortably before saying, "The girl said just now that someone came to the door to propose, and I don't know what happened." ”
Xia Ruinan groaned for a while, and called in a daughter-in-law, "Zhang's family, you send the gift I brought to Mrs., and say that I will come over to ask for peace later." By the way, inquire. ”
While waiting, Xia Ruixi fidgeted, not knowing which direction his fate would take. Xia Ruinan shook her hand and said gently: "Don't worry, my parents are categorically reluctant to let you suffer." ”
Xia Ruixi made a bitter face: "Sister, I'm afraid." ”
"What are you afraid of? Silly girl? Xia Ruinan touched her hair, smiled slightly and said, "You have to believe in your parents' eyes." Look at me, your brother-in-law was personally picked by my father, although he is a little more powerful, but he is a first-class person to me, and he can't pick it. You don't know, do you? When his family originally came to the door to propose, my father pretended to be a rough and reckless man and went to the yamen to find your brother-in-law to do something. Our father's vision of people is very accurate. ”
In fact, Master Xia is really a rare responsible father, but what Xia Ruixi is most afraid of is this, what his old man likes and thinks is good, but she doesn't necessarily think it's good. What if he insisted that she marry someone, a stranger? Reasons for the opposition could not be stated.
When he was nervous, the Zhang family came, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and congratulated the two, confirming the news that the official media came to the door. Xia Ruixi's heart couldn't be put down when he mentioned it, and he didn't dare to ask directly, so he was busy pulling Xia Ruinan, Xia Ruinan smiled: "Who is it?" ”
The Zhang family smiled: "It is said that it is the Ou family." ”
"Ou family?" The two sisters looked at each other with indescribable surprise.
"Which Ou family?" Xia Ruinan hurriedly asked.
"Naturally, it is the old man Ou Zhijun in this city. It's still for Ou Si Shaomen's pro, congratulations to the second lady. The Zhang family's smile was so big that they couldn't see their eyebrows.
When Xia Ruixi heard this, he felt a little unbelievable. It's not strange that Mrs. Xia had the idea of beating Ou Sishao, but what is strange is why the Ou family also hit this idea? Ou Qingjin's cold and arrogant figure suddenly appeared in her mind, with her eyes wide, the first of the top ten outstanding young people of this era, and a family like the Ou family would actually consider marrying her, a wild girl? She knows that the concept of lintel in this era is very heavy, although the Xia family is rich, no matter how high Master Xia's medical skills are, but in the final analysis, he is also a doctor, but I am afraid that he is not worthy of the Ou family.
She later learned that the Xia family is also an official eunuch, and Master Xia is not white, but also from a Jinshi, but his hobby is not in the officialdom, he only loves medicine, and he also made full use of his own advantages to open several famous pharmacies in Daqin, and his wealth is rolling, famous and wealthy. This is also why Master Xia can marry Miss Xuanda, a talented girl who was famous in Xijing at that time, Xia Ruinan can marry Wu Zi'an, who is proud of his career, and the wealthy families in Xijing City do not dare to despise Master Xia.
"What do you mean by my mother?" Xia Ruinan took Xia Ruixi's hand and slowly rubbed it in her hand to soothe her anxious mood.
"The in-laws said that the in-laws were not at home, and they had to wait for the in-laws to come back to discuss, but Geng Ti stayed."
Waiting for the Zhang family to retreat, Xia Ruinan said: "Xixi, you don't seem to be very happy?" ”
Xia Ruixi lowered his head and said, "I just think it's strange. With such a family background, such a talent, and such a talent, how could he look down on a woman like me? What's more, you didn't see him that day, and you looked down on me very much. ”
Seeing her wilting, Xia Ruinan couldn't help but feel distressed, and hugged her into his arms: "Xixi, you can't be so arrogant. You look outstanding, kind-hearted, broad-minded, and have a true temperament, although your temper was not very good in the past, but now you have grown up and are sensible? Don't say that he is from the Ou family, even the clan is worthy of it. Other people don't know your benefits, and once they know, they will definitely rush to the door to propose. You still have to go out with your mother more. ”
Xia Ruixi found that the Xia family she was reborn in had a common problem up and down, that is, it was particularly short-guarded. Seeing that one's own family is more pleasing to the eye than other family members, and one's own family members look at other families, it is a blessing for that family; If other family members don't look down on their own, it means that the family has no eyes.
"Sister, a person like him has no one in his eyes, if I marry in the past, I will definitely be angry. I just want to find a husband who is similar to me and doesn't dislike me. He doesn't have to be good-looking, he doesn't need to be famous, he is rich and noble, as long as he has a good character, a sense of responsibility, is eager to learn and progress, truly loves me and respects me, and cares about the people in our family, it is enough. "It's best, plus one, to have a kind and easy mother-in-law, that's perfect.
Xia Ruinan listened to Xia Ruixi's words and sighed: "People in the world often love to be confused by appearances, but it's rare for you to be so real." Your idea is excellent, but marriage, marriage, always fate, that is, if there is such a person, where do you find it? Even if you do, you won't have the opportunity to get to know each other, and you'll miss it. ”
Xia Ruixi got up and gave Xia Ruinan a blessing, Xia Ruinan grabbed her and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"I beg my sister to go and tell my mother, Xixi doesn't want to marry Ou Sishao."
Xia Ruinan saw her resolute expression and sighed: "Have you thought about it?" This opportunity is the dream of many women in Xijing City, and once you miss it, you will regret that you will not have this opportunity. ”
Xia Ruixi smiled freely: "If you miss it, you miss it, didn't my sister say that she wanted fate?" That means we don't have a fate. ”
"You can think about it, don't regret it in the future." Xia Ruinan called Ying'er to come in, and led a group of people to the upper room to see Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia was very happy to see her eldest daughter, and after the mother and daughter exchanged pleasantries, they withdrew and said some private words.
Xia Ruinan peeked at the big red post on the dressing table, knew it, and didn't take the initiative to ask, only said something flattering to Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia said, "Your mother-in-law is still like that?" ”
Xia Ruinan sighed: "No, my room is full of her people." A few days ago, I sent a big girl named Bihong to serve Zi'an in the study, the girl recommended a pillow mat, and Zi'an was driven out, and the second **** went to the room to ask Ann She showed me her face, and scolded me once. ”
Mrs. Xia was distressed: "How does Zi'an treat you?" Why didn't he come back with you today? ”
"Zi'an, he has something to do in the yamen today, and he treats me very well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have scolded Bihong, and connected Bihong, since we got married, it was already the fourth. ”
"Your mother-in-law is the most hateful. She herself killed your father-in-law's pregnant favorite concubine at the beginning, and was almost divorced, and today she comes to harm her daughter-in-law. ”
"The daughter-in-law of a thousand years has become a mother-in-law, and she has finally survived to this day, of course, she has to be majestic." Xia Ruinan smiled: "Speaking of which, this girl Xixi is really eccentric, do you know what she told me just now?" ”
"She's always had a lot of ghost ideas. Tell me what she has in mind, so that I don't have to go to my mother-in-law's house in the future, and I have to worry about her irritable temperament every day. ”
"I think Xixi's temperament is very likable now, and he can pretend to be more comfortable than before." Xia Ruinan smiled and told Xia Ruixi about cleaning up Su Pozi and teaching her to pretend to be in poor health and faint.
Mrs. Xia also felt that Xia Ruixi's treatment of people and things had made great progress compared to before, and nodded: "Now that there is such a family business, you can take a look." As he spoke, he showed Xia Ruinan the big red post on the dressing table. This is Ou Qingjin, the fourth young man of the Ou family, people, you have probably seen it, what do you think? ”
Xia Ruinan smiled: "The Ou family's family reputation is good, and the family education is also quite strict, not to mention that Ou Si is famous, if you only talk about family history, it is a good marriage." ”
Mrs. Xia's jade-white slender fingers rubbed the gold-sprinkled red Geng post in her hand, and muttered, "Do you have other opinions?" ”
