Chapter 37: Relatives

In his mind, Xia Ruiyu's pink and cute, and cunning face was mixed with another face that was as bright as a spring flower and an autumn moon, with a wise smile on the corner of his mouth, and finally Mu Fei silently stretched out his hand and took the stack of paper and put it into his sleeve.

Ou Qing was overjoyed when he saw this: "You agreed?" ”

Mu Fei said slowly: "I don't want him, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he can't let him wear rags with me, hungry, right?" There is no need to accept apprentices, you are my friend, he is your brother-in-law, let him call me brother. ”

"Nope! You just want him to wear rags, wear rags, and hunger when he should be hungry! Otherwise, I don't know the suffering of the world, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the Xia family's family business. Xia Ruixi opened the curtain and walked out, looking grateful, and wanted to bow to Xie Mufei.

Mu Fei dodged sideways and said lightly: "No need, I have a lifelong friendship with Qing Jin." He said those things to me, which were superfluous. If I want to respond, I will respond, if I don't want to, even if I kowtow a hundred times, it won't work. ”

Mu Fei listened to Xia Ruixi's footsteps gradually moving away, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick. He didn't mean to embarrass Xia Ruixi by talking, but he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw her so serious and wanted to bow like him. This woman, I am afraid that in this world, there is a person who may be closest to his heart, and the person who is most likely to give him happiness that he has not felt in his previous life, but he missed her.

Ou Qingjin looked at Mu Fei's gloomy expression thoughtfully, and picked up his wine glass: "Do you plan to keep wandering the rivers and lakes like this, and you don't want to start a family?" ”

Mu Fei said irritably: "There is no suitable person. More on that later. When to go? If you can, let's leave early tomorrow morning. "He didn't want to stay where she was, not a minute or a second.

Ou Qingjin already fully understood what was going on, and his heart was sour and astringent, and he couldn't say what it was. He silently suppressed the discomfort and awkwardness in his heart: "Can you wait for two days, Rui Yan's head is injured, and it is not suitable to travel a long distance." I'll arrange another secluded house, and you can take him there for a few days for the time being. ”

Mu Fei also restrained his mind and drank a glass of wine: "Okay." ”

After recuperating for a few days, Xia Ruiyu left Xijing City with two bubbles of hot tears in his eyes, carrying a big burden on his back, and followed Mu Fei step by step.

He wanted to cry very much, but remembered that the night before departure, he didn't dare to cry in front of his parents, he only dared to cry in the arms of the second sister, and the second sister gently stroked his head and said: "If you want to cry, cry out, don't hold back, just play after crying." You have to laugh when you deserve to laugh. ”

The second brother-in-law told him that the man has tears and does not flick, and he has hatred and reluctance in his heart, so he must turn it into a progressive force. Let him study hard and go back to pick him up soon.

Xia Ruiyu swallowed back his tears stiffly, hurried to follow Mu Fei, and said obediently: "Brother Mu, can I help you carry the burden?" ”

Mu Fei looked at the huge burden on his back, which was almost half the size of his body, and his pretended brave and relaxed expression, smiled and touched his head: "You just carry your own, if you want to help me carry it, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

The thin back of the most beloved youngest son slowly disappeared into the morning light with a stranger, and Mrs. Xia pressed the whimper in her heart to death, and stroked her sideburns calmly and naturally, what to do or what to do, as if her youngest son had never left.

Zhao Mingtao never showed up since that day, but from time to time he asked people to harass in the Xia family's shop, and everyone was a little nervous by him.

Ou Qing invited the person who went to inquire about the news to ask for a few thousand taels of silver to go to the relationship, please eat, drink, and play, and it was a fuss for more than ten days, but he didn't inquire about anything. The others were anxious, thinking that it would be a waste of money to go on like this, so it was better not to inquire anymore.

Ou Qingjin became more and more confident, and firmly believed that Zhao Mingtao had other plans, just wait patiently. The person who should have been sent out to inquire had to continue to inquire, not for anything else, just to show that the Xia family had an attitude of wanting to solve the problem; He also tactfully suggested that Master Xia send some of his money out to Ming, forcing Zhao Mingtao to show his bottom as soon as possible, as long as he still wants money, and seeing the Xia family's money scattered like flowing water, he will not be able to hold his breath.

The Wang family made a fuss a few more times, but they were afraid of Xia Ruibei in their hearts, and they didn't dare to come to the second room easily, so they only dared to cry loudly in their own house, or let people ask Mrs. Xia for money to treat Uncle Xia, Xia Ruili and the little concubine.

Xia Ruibei didn't do it endlessly, whoever dared to come to the door would beat her with a stick, coming and going, the root of the ear was finally quiet, but the atmosphere at home became more and more dull and desolate.

Master Xia listened to Ou Qingjin's suggestion, and continued to spend money lavishly, taking tens of thousands of taels to repair the ancestral hall today, and tens of thousands of taels to buy sacrificial fields tomorrow. Suddenly remembered the victims, and opened a warehouse to release grain, set up ten porridge sheds outside the city to help the victims, the spring famine grain is expensive, and he asked that the porridge must be thick enough so that the chopsticks can not fall, as soon as the news came out, a large number of victims gathered here to guard the porridge, and the daily cost was very dramatic, but the Xia family and the second aunt Ou Sishao, who strictly supervised and dragged the porridge every day, established a high reputation among the victims.

The hard-earned family business is flowing out like this, more painful than cutting her flesh, forgetting that a few days ago it was still inseparable from the second room, and a few sons and daughters-in-law took their grandsons to ask for it cheekily, the road is that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, rather than cheap outsiders, it is better to support their own children and nephews.

Master Xia laughed and ignored it. Even if they were given money, they would have to spend their lives, and the broken ribs and thighs wouldn't make them more vigilant? What mountains of gold and silver are just life-boosting talismans.

Xia Ruixi returned to the Ou family, and the second husband and wife specially took their other sons and daughters-in-law at home to see her in the Splendid Garden, and said a lot of comforting words, saying that they would do their best to help the Xia family tide over the difficulties. Wu even took care of Xia Ruixi's daily diet exquisitely and refreshingly, and Xia Ruixi was very grateful for their kindness.

Ou Qing went out early and returned late, only going around the Xia family's shop and the porridge shack outside the city every day, urging the guys to spend twelve points of energy and operate patiently to solve those competitors who wanted to find fault. Then he often went to accompany Mr. Xia to drink tea to relieve boredom, chat about business, and talk about the world, although it was hard, but he learned a lot of business skills and experience, and broadened his horizons and insights.

When Master Xia was happy. even taught him to distinguish medicines, use medicines, and use needles, and he also showed 12 points of enthusiasm and studied hard and hard. Changshou, who had already followed him, was puzzled by his efforts, but Ou Qingjin told him: "If you don't have a lot of skills, maybe you will use it one day." ”

Xia Ruixi can only see Ou Qingjin in the evening and early in the morning, but no matter how busy, tired and hungry, Ou Qingjin will definitely not eat dinner outside, but will rush home to eat with Xia Ruixi, listen to her, and walk with her.

The time after dinner is the most relaxed and warmest moment for the two of them, Ou Qingjin often takes Xia Ruixi's hand and carefully accompanies her for a walk in the yard, his gentleness and thoughtfulness make Bai secretly cry a few times, and he resents Ou Qingying, who has not returned to the room for a long time, is not good to him.
