Chapter 30: New Year's Greetings

Xia Ruinan and Wu Zi'an didn't stay in the Xia family for long. When they came, it was already noon, just in time for lunch, sat for a while, drank tea, Xia Ruinan didn't even have time to whisper to her mother and sisters, Wufu sent someone to pick it up, saying that there was something at home, please go back quickly.

For the Chinese New Year, what urgent matter will there be that Wu Zian and his wife must go back? What's more, Xia Ruinan still has a big belly, and she has never been in charge. Everyone knew that it was Mrs. Wu's excuse that she didn't like her daughter-in-law to stay in her mother's house for a long time, but it was not easy to break it.

Master Xia was very unhappy in his heart, looked at Wu Zi'an and said, "I haven't seen you two for a long time, can't you two stay for dinner and then leave?" ”

Wu Zi'an quietly shook Xia Ruinan's hand with red eyes apologetically, and said to his father-in-law with a smile: "There are many things in the family these days, and I don't know what is urgent. Another day, the son-in-law will definitely bring Nan Nan to visit the second elder. ”

Master Xia's face was extremely ugly, and he sighed: "My daughter is married to your family, and she is a member of your family." She is heavy now, and she has been honest and delicate since she was a child, if she is careful, you will take care of it more. In fact, he contradicts what he said, since he is honest and delicate, how can he be cautious? It's just a loving father's heart, he didn't dare to say that he didn't want Xia Ruinan to be angry, he could only say that his daughter was cautious and let Wuzi Anduo take care of it.

Wu Zi'an has a lot of respect for Mr. and Mrs. Xia, knowing that they are not at ease, and also knowing their mother's temper and his wife's situation, but as a child, how can he dare to speak about his parents' mistakes? I could only bury it silently in my heart, clenched my fists and said, "Please rest assured, Second Elder." Zi'an must treat Nan Nan well. ”

Mrs. Xia was reluctant to give up her daughter, and there was no way, in the end, her daughter was already a member of the family, so she had to send her out with a smile, and looked back at Xia Ruixi and Xia Ruibei and sighed. I don't know what kind of mother-in-law these two daughters will meet in the future, I just beg not to meet a vicious and evil mother-in-law like Mrs. Wu.

Xia Ruixi knew what was wrong with Mrs. Xia's discomfort, so she ran in and out of the barbecue activities at night, and specially invited Mrs. Xia to participate, trying to divert the unhappiness in Mrs. Xia's heart and make up for the rift between Mrs. Xia and her son and daughter-in-law.

Xia Ruibei still didn't notice anything, and for a while she was picky about the table utensils were not fine, and for a while she disliked the taste of the barbecue seasoning was too light. No matter how hateful she is, Xia Ruixi grins and only sees her as a tricky and hateful customer that she has to face in her work and life. When Xia Ruibei did too much, Xia Ruixi also taught her the lesson she deserved. But in any case, she abides by one principle, that is, she does not go to her heart and does not affect her good mood.

The barbecue dinner directed by Xia Ruixi was finally spent in a joyful atmosphere. Although Mrs. Xia still didn't have a good face for her son and daughter-in-law, she still accepted the hand-grilled turtledove meat handed over by Mrs. Xia as an apology, and praised Xia Ruixi for being sensible and filial. At this point, this family dispute is over.

solved the old lady's worries, and early in the morning of the fourth day of the new year, Mr. Xia took his wife and children and a car of gifts to Uncle Xuan's house happily to visit the New Year.

Uncle Xuan picked up the news early, and asked Xuan Wu and others to greet Master Xia's family outside. Xuan Wu saw his uncle and aunt this time, but he was very generous, and he didn't show any special expression, but he glanced straight at Xia Ruixi's sisters' car out of the corner of his eye.

When the car arrived at the second gate, the female dependents got out of the car, Xuan Wu quickly looked at Xia Ruixi and smiled slightly, Xia Ruixi didn't react, Xia Ruibei had already glanced at Xuan Wu: "Fifth brother smiled so strangely, as if he hadn't seen our sisters." ”

Her words successfully attracted Mrs. Xia's attention: "Nonsense, laughter is laughter, what's so strange?" Although Mrs. Xia said this, she looked at Xuan Wu carefully, and then at Xia Ruixi.

Xia Ruibei hung her head and didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.

Xia Ruixi pretended not to know anything, lowered her head to sort out the folds on her dress, and muttered in her heart, what is this Xia Ruibei's mind? As if she always wanted to screw her and Xuan Wu together, she had to be careful.

What made Xia Ruixi feel even more creepy was still to come. Uncle Xuan's eyes fell directly on her through everyone, and the eyes were stern and quite scrutinizing, as if she had done something wrong, so frightened that Xia Ruixi hurriedly checked her clothes, jewelry, and behavior to see if there was anything wrong. It wasn't until Wan'er repeatedly assured her that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her today, that she followed behind Mrs. Xia step by step, not daring to make any superfluous moves, Xuan Liu quietly called her to play, and she didn't dare to go.

Then Xia Ruixi found that the eyes of the Xuan family looking at her today were a little unusual, and those concubines didn't talk about it, especially Aunt Xuan's expression made her very entangled. Aunt Xuan took her hand and looked left and right with great enthusiasm, praised for a long time, and praised Xia Ruixi until she blushed before letting go. Let it go, let it go, when Aunt Xuan and Mrs. Xia were talking, she always raised her head from time to time to stare at Xia Ruixi a few times, and laughed hehe, laughing so much that she was sitting on pins and needles.

Xia Ruixi faintly felt that something was wrong, and took advantage of the opportunity of Aunt Xuan's aunt to tell a concubine next to her to go to the kitchen to arrange meals, pulled Mrs. Laxia's sleeve, and whispered uneasily: "Mother, but what's wrong with me?" Why do they all look at me like this? ”

Mrs. Xia had already noticed that something was wrong, but said with a smile: "You are too careful, go play with your sixth sister for a while?" She will be out of the cabinet in the spring, and there will be few opportunities for you to meet in the future, so take this opportunity to talk to her more. Don't forget to call your sister too. ”

Xia Ruixi was extremely reluctant to call Xia Ruibei, but she could also see that Mrs. Xia was planning to separate the two so that she could talk to Aunt Xuan. had to call Xia Ruibei, but deliberately only took Wan'er away, and found an excuse to leave Chun'er to find out the news. Who knew that Mrs. Xia was very guarded: "Why doesn't Chun'er go with your miss?" Just go. Chun'er had no choice but to follow in a gloomy manner.

After the ladies left, Aunt Xuan came over with a smile, took out a pair of fresh jade Ruyi, took one and handed it to Mrs. Xia, but looked at Mrs. Xia with a smile.

Mrs. Xia understood what Aunt Xuan meant, but she pretended to be confused with a smile: "The color and carving of this jade Ruyi are very good. I don't know where my sister-in-law got it from? ”

Aunt Xuan said with a smile: "This is the fifth child of my family who brought back from the most famous Zhenlongxuan in the capital to honor me." But I'm getting older, and I'm gradually losing interest in playing with these precious jade beads, so it's better to play with young people. Sister, your family is bustling, virtuous and cute, I want to give one to her, I don't know what you think? "Relatives want to marry, and they are afraid that they will not look good on their faces if they are rejected, so they have to use this method to test, if they are interested in each other, they can ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.

Mrs. Xia smiled and put Ruyi back in the brocade box: "Sister-in-law spoils her too much." That girl is stubborn, I'm afraid she doesn't deserve this wish. Then he whispered sadly: "Sister-in-law is my own family, and my sister won't hide it from you." Don't you know, a few years ago, her father went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in the capital to ask her for a signature, and the sign asked her to go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple on the eighth birthday of the Buddha in April, otherwise she would ...... Alas...... Is...... This kid doesn't let me worry about it. ”

Mrs. Xia watched Aunt Xuan's face change slightly, and then said, "Although it is related to the fortune of the family, how can this incense stick be so good?" I discussed it with her father, but I still had to ask my brother to help write a letter to the students of Beijing High School, dredge it, and make sure that Xixi came out on top that day and put on this incense. On this incense, everything is naturally good. ”

Although Mrs. Xia's words are not very clear, but Aunt Xuan herself can associate it, it is definitely not a good thing, Xia Ruixi, this girl is very good in all aspects, but she just can't get married, maybe it's really a bad fate, I'm afraid that it will cause trouble to my family, how can such a daughter-in-law want? Aunt Xuan naturally agreed in a hurry, and made her eyes look at the pair of jade Ruyi to put away, and then asked Xia Ruixi Ruyi to say something.

said that Xia Ruixi and Xia Ruibei came out of the main courtyard, and Xia Ruibei stepped forward with a strange smile: "Second sister, have you found it?" The way they look at you today is a little weird. ”

Xia Ruixi snorted: "I didn't find out." ”

Xia Ruibei's eyes rolled, "How come?" Don't you think it's strange that the fifth brother stared at you and smiled as soon as you entered the door today, and then your uncle also stared at you, and your aunt was so enthusiastic about you? ”

"I didn't look at the fifth brother, I didn't look at my uncle, I didn't pay attention to whether they looked at me or not. As for my aunt's enthusiasm for me, that's right, and my mother is also very enthusiastic about my cousin, so it has nothing to do with the word strange. Don't let others hear these words, be careful that people laugh at you for being ignorant. Xia Ruixi put on the appearance of a sister and persuaded Xia Ruibei seriously.

Xia Ruibei didn't expect Xia Ruixi to teach her a lesson from her sister's shelf, but she couldn't find anything to refute, so she had to shut up stupidly. turned to blame Yan'er for stepping on her skirt and scolded Yan'er for being angry.

Xia Ruixi blocked Xia Ruibei's noisy mouth, but her heart was in a mess, thinking of Xuan Wu's strange performance, she was afraid that Aunt Xuan would beat her idea, and Mrs. Xia pushed the boat down the river and kissed her.

Xuanliu greeted the two Xia Ruixi sisters with a smile and asked Xianglian to bring out all the delicious and fun things in her house to entertain the guests.

Xia Ruibei saw that there was a half-completed multicolored mandarin duck playing red silk quilt on the embroidery frame under the window, walked over and leaned over to take a closer look, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, what is this embroidery?" ”

Xuan Liu's face turned red instantly, and he pretended to say casually: "What are you embroidering?" Quilted. Don't you know? ”

As soon as Xia Ruixi entered the door, he saw the mandarin duck playing in the water, and knew that Xuan Liu was preparing for marriage. Seeing Xuan Liu and Xia Ruibei, the two people who were married, laughing at each other, I couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Their future has a clear direction, and hers is still hidden in a fog, and I don't know what kind of person she will meet in the future, and whether her dream can be realized? I felt that when I mentioned this topic, the girls in this room were looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, and she was a little uncomfortable, so she went to the bookshelf to look through Xuan Liu's books, and let the two of them laugh at each other.
