Chapter 20: Rationalizing and Returning Chaos (2)
Old Man Xia walked out without looking back: "Orange, the old lady will hand it over to you, if the old lady has three long and two short, you will follow to serve the old lady." ”
The old lady's face turned pale, her chest was stuffy, once, her threat lost its effect, she never thought that Master Xia would deal with her threat so cleanly, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had no face, so she simply howled and cried: "Old man, you just let go, leaving me, an old immortal, to be disgusted here......"
Master Xia turned a deaf ear and looked at Xia Ruixi: "Xixi, although you are getting married, you are still a member of our Xia family, just serve grandma here, do your filial piety, don't learn from others to do that rebellious and ruthless thing, just think about taking money, and don't care about the life or death of others." ”
Xia Ruixi responded, and he pointed to the three brothers of Xia Rui: "I have already sent someone to find your father, you should go to the ancestral hall with me immediately." ”
Wang leaned over: "What are you doing in the ancestral hall?" I ......"
Old Man Xia made a tiger face and snorted: "Sister-in-law, the ancestral hall has nothing to do with your women's family!" The sister-in-law should follow the woman's way and take care of her own home. Serve the old mother at home, take good care of your daughter-in-law, don't make the house uneasy for a little thing, set an example for your daughter, and only know what is right and what is wrong when you come to your in-law's house in the future, and not be looked down upon. ”
Wang opened his mouth, but could not find anything to refute. Because Xuan's family was not like her, but lowered her eyebrows and went to pour water for the old lady to eat.
Things suddenly evolved to this irreversible point, and the three Xia Rui brothers had different faces, but they all had one thing in common, their faces were not good-looking. Xia Ruizhu glared at the culprit Jiang and slapped it over: "The broom stars, they are all howling out of you!" ”
Jiang covered his face and cried and rushed out, Xia Ruili yawned and stretched, and said lazily: "What are you doing beating your daughter-in-law?" I have the ability to go out and earn money by myself! Look at you two, it's okay to eat all day, and you still have to make a fuss, are you satisfied? You remember, brother, in the future, you will pay for my daughter-in-law's marriage. ”
Xia Ruizhu yelled at him irritably: "Go!" What are you making a fuss about! For that time, think about whose daughter is willing to marry you! ”
Xia Ruili said: "You don't have to worry about this, you just have money and things ready." Saying that, he smiled and leaned in front of Xia Ruixi: "Second sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are about to leave the cabinet, congratulations!" Si Shao and I have drunk, and the person is good, not bad. ”
Xia Ruixi looked at him with red eyes, staring at two big black circles, and there was a big smell of wine before he got close, and he felt a little disgusted in his heart, but he had to force a perfunctory smile and find an excuse to dodge. Xia Ruili touched his nose, shook his head and smiled to himself, and lazily fell to the side.
Xia Ruiyan put his hands in his sleeves, lowered his eyelids, was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into a smile and approached Master Xia: "Uncle, don't be angry?" My mother has never seen this person, and her speech is ugly, who in this family doesn't know? You and your second aunt have a lot, what do you have to do with her? I didn't lower my own identity! ”
Master Xia glanced at him: "Rui Yan, the second uncle is not angry, it is for everyone to live a happy life earlier." I'll go first, you'll come later! Pointing at Xia Ruiyu: "Come, you are also a man, and you will inherit my family business in the future, why don't you go to the ancestral hall with me?" "I rolled up my sleeves and went.
Xia Ruixi thought enviously that in this era, grasping his own man is indeed a shortcut to success. What about the evil mother-in-law? What about the poisonous sister-in-law? There are men who support women, and it is easy to say anything. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but throw herself to the ground in admiration for Mrs. Xia, who was making a fortune on the side, Xia Ruinan was right, she had too many things to learn from Mrs. Xia.
Xia Ruiyu grimaced at Wang, followed behind Master Xia excitedly, and slowly walked away. The three brothers of the Xia family also followed, and the six gods of the Wang family stood for a while, and pounced at the feet of the old lady: "Mother! You're good to go! Your daughter-in-law, your grandson, and your great-grandson will not survive! ”
Master Xia didn't give the old lady any face today, the old lady had already suffocated an old face, and the wrinkles on it were all smoothed out by her. She thought that all this was caused by the Wang family, and she was embarrassed to cry in front of her, and raised her foot to give the Wang family a kick: "You idiot who eats with potency, a rammer who only grows flesh but not brains!" I'm! Get out of here! "Shouted loudly to blast Wang out.
Orange stepped forward to salute Wang and asked her to leave, but Wang was helpless, and he was impatient to even say goodbye, and left angrily.
The old lady took a breath, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Mrs. Xia lowering her head to make water and fruits, and the liver fire rose again, pointing at Mrs. Xia and scolding: "You are not a good thing either!" It's all you who are messing with me with Shuhuai! Now their brothers are turning against each other, are you happy? You get out of here, too! ”
Mrs. Xia raised her eyelids and said lukewarmly: "Mother, what you said is wrong, first of all, you called your daughter-in-law, this is one; Secondly, Shuhuai just asked the clan elder to clear the housework, not only will he not turn against the eldest brother, but it will help the two brothers get along better in the future, which is the second rule. Finally, my daughter-in-law advises you, you are old, your health is not good, you can't get angry, it's better to rest. Even if you don't think about your son and daughter-in-law, you have to have mercy on these girls around you. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, they have served you for so many years, and they have done their best, if Shuhuai beats them to death or lifts their feet and sells them, all the efforts you have done every day to eat fasting and chanting Buddha will be in vain. ”
The old lady trembled and pointed at Mrs. Xia, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "I finally saw your true face clearly today." It turns out that your usual meekness and filial piety are all pretended, I want to tell my son to ...... you"
Mrs. Xia smiled: "Mother, you were confused, weren't you?" Which of these words said by the daughter-in-law is wrong, please point it out, and the daughter-in-law has changed it. ”
The old lady couldn't get up in one breath, and fell back, and Mrs. Xia shouted, "Orange! Why don't you come to help the old lady get along with it? But what the second master said was taken as a deaf ear? ”
Juzi was thinking that he had listened to the old lady's words and gave the Wang family a look, he must have offended the second room, the second room was an overwhelming victory at this time, and the old lady would no longer be majestic in the future, and the girl in this room was not a matter of Mrs. Xia's words. Hearing Mrs. Xia's shout, she was startled, and hurriedly went over to help the old lady to sleep, and whispered a few words of comfort, the old lady snorted and gasped for a few breaths, but in the end she didn't make any more trouble, drank a cup of soothing tea, sobbed and gradually fell asleep.
When Mrs. Xia saw that the old lady was alive, she didn't leave, and ordered Liniang to guard inside, and she sat outside and called the orange out to talk.
After the orange went out, he didn't say a word, so he knelt down in front of Mrs. Xia and kowtowed three times in a row.
Mrs. Xia smiled: "Orange, what are you doing here?" ”
Orange said: "Orange was not sensible before, please forgive Mrs." "She is a celebrity next to the old lady, whether it is the big room or the second room, they will ask her about something. In fact, she didn't do too badly, in short, while complying with the old lady's instructions, she also took care of the left and right, trying not to offend the big room or the second room. What I did wrong was nothing more than helping the old lady to give her a few more glances today.
Mrs. Xia said: "The master has the difficulties of the master, and the slave has the difficulties of the slave, everyone has difficulties, it is nothing more than for the good of the old lady, and they are considerate of each other." What do you do if you say this? Am I the one who does not distinguish between good and bad? Get up. ”
Orange listened to Mrs. Xia's words, and knew that she had always done what she said, so she put her mind at ease, got up, and stood respectfully with her hands down: "Please Madame command." ”
Mrs. Xia smiled faintly: "Let me ask you, how did you persuade the old lady just now?" ”
Orange hesitated for a moment before saying: "The slave maid and the old lady said that the days are still long, and there are still many places where she needs the old man to preside over the overall situation in the future, please take care of her body." ”
Mrs. Xia smiled: "Well said, as long as I can calm her down and take care of her body, I won't bother with you if I say a few more words." You took good care of her, and I won't treat you badly in the future. If you do a particularly good job, after a hundred years, it is not impossible for the old lady to restore your free body. ”
This is a promise, and it is also forcing Orange to express her position, she must choose between the big house and the second room, and she will not be able to leave and right in the future. Orange's heart jumped: "The slave and maid thank Mrs. for her grace, and she will definitely not disappoint Mrs. ”
Mrs. Xia waved her hand to retreat, and ordered Zhen'er to pass lunch to the old lady's room, and asked someone to call Xia Ruibei: "There is such a big thing happening at home, why doesn't she ignore it?" Let her come and serve Grandma. ”
After a while, Xia Ruibei trotted over, and when she entered the door, she said, "Mother, it's not that my daughter doesn't want to come, but she doesn't dare to come." ”
Mrs. Xia said lightly: "Why don't you dare to come?" Who will eat you? ”
Xia Ruibei said in a low voice: "My daughter is impulsive, but I am afraid that she will not be able to control her emotions and will cause chaos to her mother." ”
Mrs. Xia glanced at her: "Can't control your emotions? In the future, you have to learn to control your emotions. I understand your impulsive nature, but what about others? Who owes you? ”
Xia Ruibei replied in a low voice: "Yes." After Xia Ruixi did it, the three of them had lunch silently, and sat in the house waiting for the news from the ancestral hall. Things have come to this point, there must be a result, it is nothing more than to see how much property can be divided by the big house.
According to the news from the people sent out by Mrs. Xia to inquire, there was a lot of trouble in the ancestral hall. It's nothing more than Uncle Xia was half drunk and half awake at first, and then finally woke up drunk, as soon as he heard that the second room was going to separate the financial matters with their big house, he pretended to be crazy with wine, and made a fuss, rolling all over the place without saying anything, and pulled the corner of Master Xia's robe and called Uncle, let him have a way to live, and they threw everything away for him. In the end, it was the clan elder who ordered someone to pour him a bucket of cold water before it was settled.
It wasn't until the time of the lamp that the family's necks were stretched out, and Master Xia came back with Xia Ruiyu tiredly. Although it was said that the matter was finally done, it could be seen that he was in an extremely bad mood.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the entire Xia Mansion.
