Mrs. Xia said indifferently: "Go to our house to find a doctor to take a look, grab a few pills, and let the two of them raise for a few days, if they can't raise it, they will be sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside to raise." ”

The cook smiled: "In the end, it's from Beijing, and the body is more delicate." The slave maid heard that the value of these two girls was high, and there was something bad on the road. ”

Li Niang said: "But isn't it? His throat was so swollen that he couldn't speak. ”

Mrs. Xia said: "Now that autumn is dry, isn't it too angry?" I remember that there seemed to be a bottle of Qinghuo Pill in my room, and you went and fetched it for the two of them. ”

The cook said, "Madame is really a bodhisattva. ”

Mrs. Xia said disapprenously: "When you enter the door of my house, you are the people of our family, and I naturally want to treat them well." ”

Xia Ruixi peeked at Li Niang and Mrs. Xia, and saw that their expressions were normal and calm, just like the two girls were really just unadaptable.

Mrs. Xia got up and said, "It's almost time, it's time to prepare lunch." Let's go back first, and after this place is finished, let people send it to the upper room, so that everyone can also taste the craftsmanship of Xixi. ”

Xia Ruixi blushed: "Where is my craft, it's clearly what you say you will do." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled and touched her face: "My son, didn't you do it yourself?" ”

The osmanthus flowers in the yard are fragrant, and all kinds of chrysanthemums are blooming brightly, Mrs. Xia is in a good mood, and she talked about her dowry with Xia Ruixi: "I discussed with your father, and your sister is the same, and the big one will also prepare two Zhuangzi and three shops for you." Zhuangzi one is his own, the other, is already optimistic, in a few days you and your father to see if you can be satisfied, if you are satisfied, let's take it down, what about the shop, one big and two small, the big one is the Yongfu pawnshop in the west of the city. The small two are pharmacies, people don't have to change, the goods are still generally distributed from our house, and the payment is made once a month, and the income is your own. Don't follow your sister's example, you will leave everything to your in-laws when you go, and you will not have any freedom at all. He who lives like that is also dead. ”

Xia Ruixi responded, and Mrs. Xia talked to her about clothes and jewelry, and she was so sophisticated that she couldn't wait to teach Xia Ruixi everything she knew. He said, "In this way, if you are tired of doing needlework every day, come and talk to me, and see my housekeeper, so that you can learn a little more." ”

Hearing Mrs. Xia say this, Xia Ruixi felt an unprecedented sense of urgency, she was about to marry a wife and live another unknown life, and such a leisurely life would eventually get farther and farther away from her.

On the second day, Xia Ruixi did some needlework and felt tired, so he went to the room to see Mrs. Xia's housekeeper as he said. was busy, the girl Juzi next to the old lady came over and saluted: "Juzi has seen the second lady and the second lady." ”

Mrs. Xia nodded.

Juzi said with a smile: "The old lady said, if the second lady is free, please come over." ”

Mrs. Xia said: "I know, I'll go when I'm done with what I'm doing." ”

After the orange said goodbye, Liniang followed quickly, and came back after a short time and whispered to Mrs. Xia: "The orange said that the big house went to make trouble this morning, and it was about the pawnshop at the mouth of Fushou Lane." ”

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, and sneered: "I want to use my own things, and I can't ask her to approve it!" People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, it is simply an inch! ”

Li Niang said: "Although this is the case, it is also the lord and the lady who are usually too good to them, so they are so ignorant." According to the slave maid, the lady might as well take this opportunity to say some things, so as not to have a lot of troubles when the old lady goes to the fairy in the future. ”

Mrs. Xia said: "What you said makes sense, I have endured her for so many years, does she really think I am looking at whose face?" Later, Xixi will go with me to see what your grandmother says, and see if she really wants to take her granddaughter's dowry to her grandson. ”

Xia Ruixi didn't know what was going on, and asked Li Niang to find out that Yongfu Pawnshop was located in the most prosperous area, with excellent business and reputation, and now it was managed by Xia Ruizhu, the eldest son of the Wang family. Because Xia Ruizhu didn't have much ability and couldn't follow Master Xia out to do business like others, Master Xia had to temporarily send him to Yongfu Pengfa Shop to take care of things, and by the way, he could practice his eyesight, so that he could open a pawnshop by himself in the future.

said that he was in charge of things, in fact, he went there every day when he had nothing to do, collected things, and appraised them, all of which were done by special people, he didn't do it, and Master Xia didn't worry about letting him do it himself, in other words, it was to give him a good name, so that people wouldn't say that he ate white rice. Who knew that after coming and going, the Wang family actually regarded this pawnshop as her family, and only then did she hear that Mr. and Mrs. Xia had the news that they gave the Yongfu pawnshop to Xia Ruixi as a dowry, so they ran to the old lady to cry, saying that Mr. Xia had originally said that he had given Xia Ruizhu to her family, why did he regret giving it to his daughter at this time. I don't feel sorry for my nephew, but I want to use it to subsidize outsiders.

When Mrs. Xia heard this, how could she not be angry.

Zhen'er said: "Madam, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of things in this matter, and it will be difficult to make a difference, do you want to talk to the old lady first, you can discuss and discuss, and then go to the old lady to reply?" ”

Mrs. Xia took a handkerchief to wipe her hands, lowered her eyes and said, "No need!" Let him know what this is for? Let his wife scold him and his daughter-in-law to anger her old man? Didn't his uncle come forward either? That's what I've go. ”

After Mrs. Xia finished assigning the big and small matters in the house, she took a deep breath and ordered Liniang to take out a box of official bird's nests, let Xia Ruixi take it, and follow her to the old lady's room.

When I arrived at the old lady's room, the old lady knelt alone in the hall and knocked on the wooden fish to chant the scriptures, and the Wang family was gone.

After asking for peace, Mrs. Xia smiled all over her face, pretending not to know anything: "Mother, yesterday my daughter-in-law's sister-in-law asked me to bring me a bag of official swallows, saying that they were brought from Tokyo, and let Xi Xi add them to the dowry, so that she could use them to be filial to her future mother-in-law in the future." Xixi said that grandma had a little cough during this time, and her diet was not very good, so she just gave grandma nourishment. ”

The old lady took a look, this box bird's nest is perfectly shaped, large and plump, and there are no impurities, it is indeed the best firstborn bird's nest, obviously happy in her heart, but she wants to pretend to look down on it: "What kind of official swallow, your sister-in-law also sent me a bag of blood swallow before." Since it's for Hee-hee, Hee-hee keeps it. ”

The folk generally believe that things are rare and expensive, and the blood swallow is the best, and Mrs. Xia's words have some meaning of suppressing the second room. Mrs. Xia pretended not to hear the meaning of her words, and explained seriously: "My daughter-in-law originally thought that Xueyan was the best. Who knew that my mother's sister-in-law told me that it was the best people in Tokyo who only ate this kind of official swallow. Seeing that the old lady's face was unhappy, the words changed: "But then again, whether it is an official Yan or a blood swallow, the most important thing is the filial piety of the children and grandchildren, isn't it?" Mother? ”

Xia Ruixi interjected on the sidelines: "Grandma is so kind and loves her children and grandchildren, we naturally want to use it for grandma." ”

The old lady nodded: "Since it is a piece of filial piety in Xixi, just accept the oranges." You are extremely filial, take out my pair of colorful jade parrots and add makeup to the third lady. ”

Mrs. Xia smiled: "That's a good thing, Xixi doesn't kowtow to your grandmother?" ”

Sure enough, it was a thousand clothes that didn't wear sycophants, and Xia Ruixi hurriedly bowed.

Not long after, the orange really took out a red sandalwood box, opened the box, the big red silk cloth lay a pair of green, between the red, purple, blue and white colorful jade carved into the parrot, the jade is not good, but also the carving is good, the parrot's mouth is just red. A pair of parrots tied together with carefully made purple Wanfu knot tassels, so beautiful.

Seeing that everyone was amazed, Mrs. Xia stroked the pair of parrots and sighed: "This thing, it's a long story, I couldn't afford to be sick for a long time back then, this family was in turmoil, everything that could be was done, everything that could be sold was sold out, orphans and widows, almost had to sleep on the street." I've lost all my face. Fortunately, the second child is a hard-working and angry one, so he relied on his own hands and two legs to work hard for this family business.

For the body of my sick seedling, he didn't know how many ways to think, that year he went to the south to sell medicinal materials, heard that people said that wearing colorful jade can prolong life, so he used two hundred-year-old to participate in a purple lingzhi in exchange for this piece of jade, and asked the craftsman to cut it for half a year to become this pair of colorful parrots, it is strange to say, after I wore it, it slowly got better. Looking back at Xia Ruixi: "Now that you want to go to the Ou family, I'll give it to you, you are the only one in this family who is worthy of wearing it." ”

Xia Ruixi slandered, this is true, could it be that if she doesn't marry the Ou family, she won't be worthy of this colorful jade parrot? Sure enough, it is better to be born well than to marry well. Belly slander is belly slander, seeing that Mrs. Xia shed two lines of turbid tears as she spoke, she had to hand over a handkerchief and persuade: "Grandma, why should you be sad now that you are living a good life?" ”

Mrs. Xia shook her head: "My son, grandma is old, and she won't have a few years to live, the more these years, the more I think of the grievances your father suffered back then, and I feel uncomfortable." These children, the person I am most sorry for is him. "It turns out that Mrs. Xia doesn't understand, but understands that she has to do this, everything is just for the sake of balance, family and two words, if you can be angry, you will naturally have to be more angry, and those who can do it must do more work.

Mrs. Xia smiled: "Mother, look at you, isn't it out of sight when you say this?" Shuhuai didn't say all the time, as long as the whole family is good and An An is alive, he is willing to work hard and tired. We are a family, how can we say that we are not wronged, and we are worthy of being sorry? ”

Old Madam Xia coughed lowly: "Cough, when it comes to Xixi's marriage, I think about it, are the dowries ready?" What are you going to do? Tell me, the Ou family is a big family, so you can't be sloppy. ”

When Xia Ruixi heard it, hey, the main thing is coming, Mrs. Xia paved the way for this big break, and finally turned to the right thing, let's see how Mrs. Xia covers it.
