Chapter 48: Dispersion
Liang'er walked towards the Splendid Garden in a hurry, and she couldn't wait to tell Xia Ruixi the news she had just inquired about.
Xia Ruixi listened quietly, and couldn't help but smile when she looked at Liang'er's indignant appearance: "Do I know that I can go and turn it over with them with a big belly?" Even if they get more, so what? In short, our share is indispensable, more and less, we don't expect that. ”
At this time, the family is separated, and the children have to go out to visit relatives, and they will have a long experience, so they are looking for an excuse to disperse their property and avoid trouble. There are no eggs under the nest, even if you grab some more at this time, you have to see if you have the blessing to enjoy. It's all here, why are you fighting for all this?
Seeing that she didn't care at all, Liang'er pouted and said, "Purple satin said that Madame, please go to the room at night and have dinner together." ”
Chun'er smiled: "Isn't this the end?" If there is anything, Mrs. will naturally explain to the fourth young grandmother in the evening. The fourth young grandmother is so heavy, if anyone still wants to call her to do things, it is inconsiderate. You're just small-minded. ”
Liang'er grimaced: "I just bumped into a little girl, holding a bracelet of beeswax Buddha head and going to the fake nun." Dead girl, I didn't want to say anything before, in the end she was tender, as soon as I scared her, saying that I would hand her over to the housekeeper as a thief, she was scared and cried, and said, guess who sent it? She stretched out three fingers: "Good beeswax Buddha head bracelet is good, it is worth a lot of silver." Looking at the slave maid, I'm afraid it's really a bit of that. ”
Fake nun is the nickname that Liang'er gave Lin Qingmei in private. Although she is a fake nun, the person who gave her the beeswax Buddha head bracelet is extremely considerate.
Looking at this mansion, who would be so considerate and thoughtful as Lin Qingmei? Who would give her such a precious thing and give it to her?
A good beeswax Buddha head bracelet is only a few points more valuable than the gold-inlaid pearl hairpin on Bai's head, is it an apology in disguise, or is it an opportunity to please? Man, it's too fierce, it's not gentle enough, it's too gentle, and he's tasteless. In the final analysis, it is because of greed, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot.
Xia Ruixi sneered: "Don't worry about this idle matter. If it gets out, one will blame me for many things, and the other will blame me for not saying anything. Anyone who asked said they didn't know. ”
Liang'er was a little sneering, and was about to withdraw, but Xia Ruixi said again: "Go and ask, did she accept it." ”
If Lin Qingmei accepts it, it means that she also has a little intention of Sanshao, so she can't deal with it, and if it is confiscated, it will be called trouble.
The gossip factor in Liang'er's body was aroused, and her eyes lit up, "The slave will go." ”
Dinner was very formal, and even the grandchildren set a separate table.
After the meal, the second master Ou said the set of rhetoric that Liang'er inquired about during the day, and said that he and the second lady Ou were old and wanted to enjoy a few days of happiness, so they wanted to divide the property of the family, and he and the second lady Ou left some acres of real estate for their own use, and the others were uniformly distributed to the names of each house, and they lived within their means in the future, and they were not related to each other.
These words of his are all for outsiders, the fate of the family is uncertain, everyone in the Ou family has more or less some numbers in their hearts, and they all have some relatives, and none of them raised objections.
The second master Ou can also make it clear that in the future, the ancestral house will be inherited by the young master Ou's house, and if you want to continue to live in the other rooms, you can also move out. This means that Young Master Ou will be the patriarch and head of the next generation.
The Bai family was a little sour, thinking that Young Master Ou was gentle and afraid of things, and the Wu family didn't know how to manage money and be in charge, where could she be worthy of being the patriarch? She wanted to say something, and when she saw the respectful appearance of the others, she didn't dare to say more.
Mrs. Ou returned Xia Ruixi's small account book to her, "In the future, I will be in charge of my own house, and I will be careful and careful." Gently glanced at her stomach a few times, sighed lightly, wanted to say something, but held back, just touched Xia Ruixi's hair: "Don't always fall asleep, move around more, and only have strength when you give birth." Ready to prepare? ”
Xia Ruixi replied meekly, and Second Lady Ou put her hand in Ou Qingjin's hand, "If you want to move out, move out and live, but the little couple should be polite and tolerant, and don't make trouble for me." ”
Only Ou Qingjin could understand the worry and reluctance of Second Mrs. Ou, held back the sourness in her heart, and replied: "Let's not move for the time being, and we will talk about it after the child is born." ”
Mrs. Ou thought for a while and said, "It's okay, the children are gone, this garden is empty, and I am still a little unaccustomed to it." It's also lively when you stay in the bustle, and when you're not there, you also have someone to take care of. ”
This sentence suddenly aroused Bai's sadness, other people's children have all the support, only hers has no whereabouts.
Dafang's two sons are going to go to Wu's maiden family, Yuanzhou. Although it is remote, the climate is warm and pleasant, the people are simple, and it is a good place to study. Wu's elder brothers and younger brothers are a lot of them, all of them are famous local squires, scholars, and have always had a good relationship with Wu.
Xue's has an elder brother who has become a member of the local government. The Xue family has been deeply favored by the family, and Ou Xinyang went to the front station, and then brought the younger two over, without worrying about food and clothing, and life was not going anywhere.
There is only the Bai family, and his mother's family is here, and there are no relatives to rely on in the distance. There is only one eldest sister who has been married for many years and has not heard from her near Tokyo, and she has a falling out with her family for something, and she swears that she doesn't want to communicate with each other. But this eldest sister has always been very good to her when she is at home. According to her thoughts, the children are so young, even if she wants to send them away, she wants to give the children to her maternal brother to take to Tokyo, and join her eldest sister who married there. But Ou Qingying hated her mother's family for being tight, and always felt that her mother's brother wanted to calculate her two pennies, so she had to let her let the two brothers go to Yuanzhou with Ou Xinshe.
It is said that the two brothers are adults and can take care of the children. If she doesn't feel at ease, she can also take care of it, and if she goes to Yuanzhou, she will return the more than 10,000 taels of silver she took from her.
She wants to go with the child, and there is a vixen at home, so she is afraid that as soon as she leaves, people will discuss Buddhist scriptures and read Buddhist scriptures on her back foot, and when she comes back, there will be no more her status in the family. The Bai family was in a dilemma, and she wanted to beg Mrs. Ou to speak to the children to stay.
Mrs. Ou listened to her request and clearly replied to her that the children must go, even if Fu'er does not leave, Chen'er must go. As for where to go, whether she followed or not, the couple made their own decisions.
Mrs. Ou said earnestly: "Your worries are not unreasonable, the children are still young and cannot do without their mothers, they are the most important." Chen'er is the eldest son, and when he gets old in the future, you and Qingying don't have to rely on him yet. If it were me, I would be walking with the children so that I could raise them. ”
This meant that she was advised to go with the child, and when Bai Shi heard it, he was dumbfounded. Chen'er is the eldest son, her only son, Fu'er is a daughter, she will always marry in the future, and she still only has her son to rely on. And what about husbands? Doesn't she want it? Why can't Ou Qingying accompany the three of them together?
What goal is too big, to go in batches; What is not at ease with the elderly; Why does he want to stay to stabilize his position and take care of his family's affairs, all of them are excuses, and he can't let go of that little vixen is true. Bai suddenly felt that her life was bleak and helpless.
At night, Xia Ruixi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, "Qingjin, has things come to this point?" ”
Ou Qing smiled and said half-truthfully: "No, you know, the old people are old, and they always love to be cranky, and they quarreled all night last night." It's better to prevent problems than to prevent them from happening. ”
"Sending the children away, there is chaos outside, how much better is it than here? You see that the eldest brother has brought so many people, and they have become like that, and the children have no adults around them, isn't it too risky? ”
It's better than being served by someone at that time, right? Ou Qing pretended to be relaxed and said: "The main area of the chaos is the capital, as long as they don't take the direction of the capital, there is no problem." Don't think about it, go to sleep. I'm a little busy these days, and I will spend less time with you, so you have to eat and sleep well, nourish your spirits, and have the strength to give birth. ”
Xia Ruixi turned over awkwardly, letting his back against his chest, no matter what chaos was outside, as long as he was by his side, it was better than anything: "Today, someone sent a string of beeswax Buddha head bracelets with good color to Miss Lin, and the person who sent it insisted that it was sent by the third brother." ”
Of course, Lin Qingmei confiscated, she was more difficult to deal with, more cunning, and more capable of pretending than Xia Ruixi imagined. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if she accepts it or not, Xia Ruixi can choose not to know. Xia Ruixi only needs to tell Ou Qingjin that his brother gave Lin Qingmei a gift, and let him experience the taste for himself.
Sure enough, Ou Qingjin sighed: "What does the third brother want to do." ”
Xia Ruixi stroked his arm that was pillowed under her head: "If it's true, I think the third brother is a little confused." In the end, you should avoid suspicion, but this kind of thing is also a slap in the face. ”
Lin Qingmei wants to hook her brother and fight her brother's idea, she can't tell Ou Qingying the true face of this woman, but she can hint at Ou Qingjin, this woman is his brother's favor, if Lin Qingmei comes to seduce Ou Qingjin again, Ou Qingjin will be three feet away from her just for the sake of brotherhood.
Ou Qingjin replied indiscriminately, he didn't have the heart to guess Xia Ruixi's careful thoughts, let alone take care of Lin Qingmei's lifelong events, he was full of thoughts about his future plans.
The silver tickets in his hand, which could be converted into gold bars, were converted into gold bars and buried, as for the silver ticket given by Master Xia, the amount was really huge, and he couldn't cash it, even if he did, he couldn't find a place to store it. However, if you want to come to the Huitong number, it is a time-honored brand for many years, and there should be no problem in a short period of time, and I will think of another idea in the future.
Except for the second master and his wife, and the eldest and young couples, who decided not to leave and wanted to stay for cover, the others will probably leave in batches. Only him and Xia Ruixi, Xia Ruixi is about to give birth, he can't be frightened, let alone travel long distances, even if he can delay until the child is born safely, he must raise him for a period of time, he must make a few more preparations, where is the safest? What else is not arranged? These are all questions that he must think through.
On the second day, Xia Ruixi was still in a dream, and Ou Qingjin left home with Hua Laohu and rode to the outside of Xijing City.
