Chapter 9: Breaking the Cauldron (1)
Xia Ruiyu smiled and said, "My son can ride a horse!" I'll ride it for you tomorrow! ”
Only then did Master Xia know that he was here to show off, and touched his head dotingly: "During the time I am not at home, can I listen to your mother and master?" ”
Xia Ruiyu became more and more eyebrows: "Where will it be!" If you're not here, I'm going to help my mother take care of the house, where can I let her worry about it? Seeing that Master Xia was happy, the conversation changed: "Dad, the Western Regions horse you originally bought for my second sister, is it okay to give it to me?" Anyway, the second sister won't ride anymore. ”
Master Xia said: "The one that was bought for your second sister is hers, go and tell her at home." ”
When Xia Ruiyu heard this, he couldn't wait to get off the horse to find Xia Ruixi again, but Master Xia sank his face: "You can't wait to get home soon, didn't the master usually teach you self-cultivation?" ”
Xia Ruiyu hurriedly shrunk his neck and sat down in an orderly manner: "My son knows that he is wrong." ”
Old Man Xia has not returned home for a long time, not to mention that Old Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia are extremely happy, and they have stretched their necks early to wait.
Even Uncle Xia, who is often not at home, did not go out for the first time, waiting at home for a reunion dinner. Xia Ruinan and Wu Zijunan also took their three-month-old son home to visit their father and sister who had not returned home for a long time.
The matter of Xia Ruixi and Ou Qing's marriage is already known to everyone, and everyone can't stop congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Xia and laughing at Xia Ruixi.
Xia Ruinan's son is about to be 100 days old, white and chubby, especially loves to laugh, he opens his mouth wide when he smiles, revealing a small pink gum, Xia Ruixi's heart is soft, he just wants to hold and nibble a few bites, and he can't wait to search for anything good to this little guy.
Xia Ruibei saw the child's cuteness, and finally showed some smiles on her gloomy face, and couldn't help but take it and tease it for a while, and also found a delicate longevity lock for the child to bring, and I don't know when she prepared it.
Master Xia even hugged his grandson and teased him non-stop, and the joy of going home made him forget the troubles brought to him by Xia Ruibei for a while, and let people take out the gifts he brought from the capital to everyone one after another, and no one was left behind, and everyone was happy for a while, and it was very lively. Eating has become secondary, and laughing is the main thing.
Seeing this, the eldest aunt Wang said sourly: "Yo, we are still blessed." In the past, there was no suitable person to come to the door to propose, but everyone was in a hurry, and said that it was wrong, it turned out that there was such a great blessing waiting for her. ”
Mrs. Xia said neither softly nor hardly: "What my sister-in-law said is right, our family is blessed, where is everyone who can afford it?" In the past, those who came to propose marriage dared to come rashly without looking at their catties, and they were not afraid of people's jokes. ”
Wang's face changed, and he said unconvinced: "If you want to say, it is also the second brother who climbed up to the noble man Rui Wangye, if there is no old man to protect the media, this Ou family may not be willing." Don't you say? Hee-hee? In the future, you will have to remember the great kindness of others. ”
This Wang family is too hateful, Xia Ruixi surged with a bad breath, got up and blessed the Wang family: "Thank you aunt for your concern, in fact, the Ou family came to the door to propose marriage a year ago, but my father and mother didn't tell my aunt at that time." However, Prince Rui is also very concerned about this matter, according to what you said, in the future, his niece and daughter will definitely set up an immortal tablet for his old man, and burn incense every day to offer it. ”
Xia Ruiyu blinked his eyes and said, "It turns out that the matchmaker wants to set up an immortal tablet for it?" Auntie, why didn't I see it in your room? ”
Everyone secretly laughed when they heard this, Uncle Xia was impatient, and scolded Wang: "So much food can't stop your mouth!" Don't you just remember your nephew? Don't look at him like that? Worthy of our girl? ”
It turned out that during Xia Ruixi's absence, a nephew of the Wang family came to the door to ask for marriage. That person has been a talented man, and he is quite old, but he is from a humble background, and he is poor, and he wants to use his own fame to marry a rich family, so as to improve the conditions of his family.
Wang thought that Xia Ruixi had no one to propose, and even those who came to propose marriage were not on the table, so he took it for granted that this matter was nine out of ten, and went to be a lobbyist in person, but Mrs. Xia refused without hesitation, so angry that she pointed out that Sang scolded Huai for half a month, but Mrs. Xia just ignored it. Seeing the scenery of the second room today, she was sour and resentful, so she said the previous words.
Wang's face couldn't hold back, he pushed the bowl, and was about to say that he didn't eat it, but was coldly glanced at by Mrs. Xia, and immediately swallowed the words back. But she felt uncomfortable in her heart, her eyes glanced at Xia Ruibei sitting on the side and depressed, she was thin into a handful of bones, and suddenly laughed: "Ah, when will Xixi's matter be done?" ”
Master Xia said: "It's roughly decided, it's the end of the year, and the specific date will be negotiated when the Ou family is optimistic." ”
Wang clapped his hands: "Then it's time to do Beibei's business next, right?" This morning, the Sun family also came to the door to talk about this, and his family couldn't wait, so they looked forward to welcoming Beibei into the door with a sedan chair as soon as possible. It's a happy event, one after another. ”
Mrs. Xia's face turned pale, and she was about to sarcastically say a few words about Wang, but Xia Ruibei raised her head suddenly, without saying a word, and her eyes poked Wang fiercely like an awl.
Wang was looked at by her, and said with a dry smile: "Third girl, why are you looking at your aunt like this?" ”
Xia Ruibei didn't answer, still staring at Wang, her hand had already grabbed a soup bowl, and it seemed that she wanted to use the bowl to smash Wang.
Xia Ruixi saw that the situation was not good, and glanced at Chun'er, who hurriedly stepped forward to take Xia Ruibei's bowl and said in a low voice: "Third Miss wants to drink soup?" Slave maid to you? Xia Ruibei stubbornly clutched the bowl. Wang finally became a little scared.
At the same time, Xia Ruixi whispered a few words to Xia Ruiyu, and Xia Ruiyu suddenly laughed. Wang was worried, startled by Xia Ruiyu's laughter, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at suddenly?" ”
Xia Ruiyu said: "It's nothing. Just now, the second sister told me a story, which was very funny. ”
Mrs. Xia said, "What is the story?" ”
Xia Ruixi said softly: "When we came back, we ate at a small shop on the side of the road at noon one day, the place was simple, and there was a pigsty next door. There was a pig in Riyang, and he kept humming, and we were so noisy that the shopkeeper said that the pig was hungry and would not be fed until the guests had leftovers. I was annoyed by its noise, so I asked someone to pour a pot of rice for it, who knows if I didn't eat it for the delicious food, but I still hummed. I asked the storekeeper: What is wrong with so many delicious foods that can't stop its mouth? Later, I learned that it was used to eating pig food and would not eat rice grains. Isn't that funny? ”
Xia Ruiyu smiled and said, "You haven't seen this kind of stupid pig, have you?" Sure enough, it's a pig. No wonder it's a pig. It's not unappetizing, but I think I'm smart. If Xia Ruixi was just insinuating, Xia Ruixi's words would be a bit blatant. Xia Ruibei's hand was finally taken back.
Old Madam Xia snorted coldly, and Mrs. Xia glared at Xia Ruixi's sister and brother fiercely: "You have a lot of business." When you eat, you can also think of the animal husbandry of the disgusting Bala! ”
Wang's face turned red, he couldn't say a word, if he wanted to say a few words, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was a pig, if he didn't want to say it, he really couldn't hold back his breath.
Everyone had different faces, except for the big house, who was angry, and the others wanted to laugh more. Xia Ruixi was so suffocated that his face cramped, Wu Zi'an couldn't hold back, and the tea sprayed Xia Ruixian all over his body. Xia Ruinan's girl Ying'er hurriedly stepped forward to wipe Xia Ruiyan's clothes, Xia Ruiyan frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, you haven't seen a pig, it scares you?" ”
Wu Zi'an hugged him: "No, this tea is too hot." Brother-in-law is rude, let's accompany you first, and ask your sister to change you into a new one another day. ”
Uncle Xia couldn't hold his face, coughed, and changed the topic to start a round: "Xixi, I heard that there is a kind of peach in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, which looks different, can you see it?" ”
Wang said exaggeratedly: "Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple? Wasn't that where Xin'er and those mothers-in-law escaped? If you want to say that our family treats them well, why do they ......?"
Uncle Xia glared at her and whispered: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person, if you don't want to stay here, get out!" I've lost my face to you. He turned back to Xia Ruixi and smiled: "Second girl, let's continue to talk about the peach blossoms?" ”
Xia Ruixi described the appearance of peach blossoms, looked at Xia Ruibei intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "I didn't know that there were this kind of peach blossoms there, but Beibei told me to let me go, otherwise I would have missed it." ”
Xia Ruibei's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and the hand hidden in the sleeve was bruised by her nails and she couldn't feel the pain.
Xia Ruixi saw her eyelids jump a few times, and then laughed: "Beibei, did you say?" At that time, my feet hurt, and I still said I wouldn't go, thanks to you for persuading me. Master Xia looked at Xia Ruixi suspiciously, but Xia Ruixi just didn't see it.
In front of everyone, Xia Ruibei had to laugh dryly, perfunctory, Xia Ruixi finally let go of this topic and talked about what he had seen in the capital.
finally dispersed, and everyone scattered to talk and laugh. Xia Ruibei glanced at Xia Ruixi, and the two walked to the left side of the room one after the other.
Xia Ruibei said coldly: "What do you mean? Do you want to remind me that I was the one who was taken captive? ”
Xia Ruixi smiled lightly: "What do you think?" I thought you only cared about hating me now, and nothing else. ”
Xia Ruibei twisted her brows and counterattacked: "Did you say what I asked you to say to your father?" What about Xiang'er and Lan'er? ”
Xia Ruixi said: "After Ming told you, it is impossible for Daddy to agree to let Xiang'er and Lan'er return to you." Those two girls, knowing what you did, but didn't tell your father, but helped you, let you go, and when things were out of business, they wanted to run away. ”
Xia Ruibei raised her eyebrows: "In that case, I'll laugh at Chun'er, it's rare for you to train such an excellent girl." ”
