Seeing that the old lady asked, and in the end, she couldn't hide it, so Mrs. Xia unceremoniously informed the results of the discussion with Master Xia one by one, and added at the end: "Just like my mother said, the Ou family is not like ordinary people, and the dowry is thin, but I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the eyes of his family, and the things that accompany him must be exquisite, otherwise they will be disliked." Now our bustling dowry, one is compared to Nan Nan's, and the other is also comprehensively considered, so it is temporarily customized like this, and I don't know if it is suitable or not, please check it by my mother. ”

The old lady excused herself: "It's good that you decide, I haven't handled these for many years, and I'm rusty." ”

Mrs. Xia said with a smile: "My mother has eaten more salt than we have eaten, even if she has not handled it for many years, she still grasps it better than her son and daughter-in-law." Otherwise, why do you say that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure? ”

The old lady was used in her heart, and then she muttered for a moment and said: "I think that clothes and jewelry will always be outdated, and she can't wear so much. Furniture, medicinal herbs to be brought over, candidates, you also have a good handle of these, don't talk about it. On the contrary, it is the matter of Zhuangzi and the shop, and we have to discuss it again. ”

Mrs. Xia was unhappy in her heart, and smiled sweetly on her face: "Two Zhuangzi, one is ready-made, and the other has not yet been decided. However, in recent years, there have been official families who have been transferred to Beijing, and several of them are going to make a move, which is also very good. I originally wanted to say that I would let Hee Hee and her father go to see it in two days, and wherever they looked, they would be there. If the mother is physically able to eat, why don't you have a son and daughter-in-law with you at that time, and let's go and pick up with Xixi? Okay? ”

The old lady saw that she only mentioned Zhuangzi and not the shop, and she was not happy, and it was not easy to do it in face, and it was not easy to say some things in front of Xia Ruixi, so she turned her eyes to Xia Ruixi: "Xixi, you only returned home yesterday, and you got up early in the morning today, so you must not have rested, right?" Why don't you go back and rest for a while? ”

Xia Ruixi understood that this was to drive her away, so she looked at Mrs. Xia out of the corner of her eyes, and Mrs. Xia smiled: "Mother, don't spoil her, she is about to be a daughter-in-law, where can she be so squeamish when she arrives at her mother-in-law's house?" My grandmother got up early every day, and I took care of the housework every day, and I never said that I was tired. She is a child, what are you tired of? Just let her wait here, Xixi, go over and give your grandma a leg beat. ”

Xia Ruixi hurriedly responded, took the beauty beat, sat on the wicker stool beside Mrs. Xia, beat the old man's legs, and asked with a smile: "Grandma, how is the weight?" ”

Mrs. Xia had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes, it's better than beating oranges." But in his heart, he was thinking about how to make Mrs. Xia dispel her plan to give Yongfu pawnshop to Xia Ruixi as a dowry. After going around twice, he still went around the shop again: "How many shops have there been in our family over the years?" ”

Mrs. Xia knew what the old lady was thinking, but she was not as good as she wanted, so she counted her fingers seriously, raised her head and said: "Mother, Shuhuai once told me that there were a total of five shops that our Xia family was pawned out and sold, and in addition to here, there are two Zhuangzi, and the land is about 200 tilts, and he redeemed them one by one, so that all the income is included in the public school, and in the future, Rui Yu and his three brothers can divide it." ”

When Mrs. Xia heard this, her heart was uncomfortable, the second room was trying to clear up, which things were in the public and which were their own. Originally, too, speaking of it, this family has already been defeated by Uncle Xia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this family business is all earned by the second room. But Mrs. Xia always wanted to live the original one, everything was in her hands alone, and it was divided equally between the two sons according to her wishes, and the two families had the same plan to live well. But I didn't think about it, this person is selfish, and selflessness can only be kept within a certain limit, even if Master Xia is willing to take it out and distribute it to the big house, he has to agree with Mrs. Xia, and he can only be willing to do it.

Mrs. Xia continued to pretend not to see Mrs. Xia's increasingly gloomy face: "Later, Shuhuai bought some land and shops, as well as a few Zhuangzi, saying that it was for the children to marry, I don't know." Even when it comes to the three shops for Xixi's marriage, I only know the big one, and the other two small ones, what is their name, what kind of livelihood they do, and where they are, I don't know where they are, and I don't know if the location is good or what the income is? I have to discuss it with Shuhuai again, if it is not satisfactory, I have to change it to a better one, just like my mother said, the Ou family is a big family, and you can't be sloppy. If you can't take it out, you won't mention it, and if you can take it out and don't deal with it well, you will be laughed at for nothing. ”

Old Mrs. Xia saw that she was gagging her mouth with every word, and her temper also came up, so she simply opened her mouth and said: "The second one's family, I don't care how you change the other two shops you mentioned." But this Yongfu pawnshop, how did you hear your sister-in-law say that Shuhuai promised to Rui Zhu two years ago? ”

Mrs. Xia said in surprise: "Is there such a thing?" How did I not know? This shop has been married to Nan Nan a few years ago, and her father told me that he would give Xixi a dowry in the future? He frowned and thought about it, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, didn't Rui Zhu accompany thousands of taels of silver in business two years ago?" After that, he stayed at home, and my sister-in-law went to me and said that he couldn't let him eat white rice at home, and asked Shuhuai to arrange another errand for him to be more appropriate and able to learn some skills. Shuhuai said that let him go to Yongfu Pawnshop to sit and have a look when he has time, and see how the shopkeeper inside collects things, distinguishes the real from the fake, and does business. No, every month, Shuhuai gives him the start of work according to the general manager's share, just ask Rui's daughter-in-law. ”

The old lady was just about to speak, but Mrs. Xia covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister-in-law, what she said is like an uncle who embezzled her nephew's shop." It's also that we know that she has always been confused, otherwise Shuhuai's temper would not have to make trouble, and a good thing would have made her angry, which is really not cost-effective. ”

Mrs. Xia's words were not leaky, when Mrs. Xia heard this, she knew that the second room would never let go, if Xia Ruixi was not there, she could also persuade Mrs. Xia that since the place is good and the business is good, it is better to leave it to Xia Ruiyu in the future and find a slightly worse shop for Xia Ruixi. But Xia Ruixi was pounding her legs, and she couldn't say this in front of Xia Ruixi.

But the old lady always looked to the big room in her heart, and always felt that the second room was there, and there was nothing missing, but the big room was not, she didn't care, but it fell apart. said: "Then this shop is given to Xixi, and then let her eldest brother do things, but it is not appropriate." ”

Mrs. Xia said: "This is natural, so, when the time comes, let Rui Zhu go home and don't go again." ”

"What about Ruizhu? He is in his twenties, is it possible for him to sit at home and take care of the children all day? Mrs. Xia was expecting Mrs. Xia to hit the snake and follow the pole and arrange a lucrative errand for Xia Ruizhu, but who knew that Mrs. Xia actually pretended to be dizzy, which was obviously right with her, so she began to shake her face and pushed Xia Ruixi: "Don't beat it, the bones are going to fall apart." ”

Xia Ruixi knew that she was angry again, and she was too lazy to be angry, so she stood up with a smile and put down the beauty beating: "I didn't make my grandmother comfortable, but I made my grandmother uncomfortable, because my granddaughter's craftsmanship was not good." ”

Mrs. Xia burst out of anger in her heart, last time Mrs. Xia was angry with Xia Ruixi for the Wang family's affairs, so that Xia Ruixi blew the cold wind in the courtyard for a few hours in the cold winter month, she hasn't calculated this account yet, this time she made Xia Ruixi angry for the matter of the shop, other people's sons are people, her daughter is not a person, I have never seen someone who takes advantage of others and is so reasonable, it is unbearable. Standing up immediately: "Since my mother is uncomfortable, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to disturb my mother with these things, so you can rest." The day after tomorrow, the Ou family is going to come to ask for marriage, and the daughter-in-law came in a hurry just now, and there are still some things that have not been arranged, so she will retire. ”

Mrs. Xia didn't delay much, and pulled Xia Ruixi to leave after the farewell ceremony.

Mrs. Xia was so angry that her chest fell together, and she was about to wave the teacup next to her to the ground, when Xia Ruixi ran back with a smile: "Grandma forgot to take the colorful parrot for her granddaughter, thank you grandma." He took the rosewood box from the orange and went away.

As soon as Mrs. Xia and Xia Ruixi walked out of the old lady's yard, they saw the little girl in Wang's room, standing under the willow tree, looking this way with their heads probe, and when they saw everyone, they retracted their heads, bypassed everyone and drilled into the old lady's yard.

Mrs. Xia knew that Shen'er must have been sent by the Wang family to inquire about the news, she was carrying beans and couldn't find a pot to fry, and she happened to bump into this person who knocked on the door, where was the reason to let it go gently? Then he was angry and said, "Who is that?" Sneaky, I didn't come to salute when I saw my master? Go and fork that little hoof for me! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen'er was about to run, but was grabbed by the two daughters-in-law, and first slapped her in the face twice: "Seeing that the master does not salute, but runs, who taught the rules?" ”

Shen'er was stunned, and let them fork her to Mrs. Xia and kneel, and she didn't dare to come out.

Mrs. Xia shouted, "Which room are you in?" What are you doing sneakily? ”

Shen'er was really afraid that the second lady would be tight, so she trembled and said: "Back to the second lady, the slave is called Shen'er, and it is in the eldest lady's room." The eldest lady asked the slave maid to come over to find the orange sister and say a few words. ”

Mrs. Xia said: "I don't know me, who taught you the rules, when you see the master, you don't come to greet him, but sneakily want to run?" Without waiting for Shen'er to answer, he said: "Pull it and let Mrs. Zhang hit the board ten times, so that she can have a long memory and know what the rules are!" Regardless of Shen'er's crying and begging for mercy, he walked away with his head up.

Xia Ruixi glanced at Shen'er sympathetically, this is the fairy fight, and the little ghost suffers. From this, Xia Ruixi remembered another one, no matter what you do or how you do it, you must take advantage of it, so that people can't catch mistakes, so that they can stand tall.
