094 Intercession
The reason why he still put her in charge of the middle feed is just for fame. If Mrs. Xie is deprived of the right to feed, he will also lose face if it is passed out. Anything he does, the first thing to consider, is the reputation of the Xie family!
Fortunately, she didn't hope for this, for her, as long as her status climbed, she would be satisfied in this life. However, she could endure Xie Qigong's scolding of her in private, even if he wanted to take away her power to take charge of the treasury, she didn't blame him, but she couldn't accept his ignorance of Xie Hong!
"Master, although Hong'er is not your own son, she has treated you more than your biological father for so many years! Every year, the accounts in the field are collected by him after running for you, and every time he goes out, he will never forget to bring you something. Whenever there is any discomfort, he is more anxious than anyone else! These old and second children are not in front of them, and they serve the decoction or something, but they are all him and Rong'er, have you forgotten these?
"There are a lot of people in Hong'er's room, and there is no property in his hands, so he was forced to make up for him. Now if you don't care about Brother Hua'er's marriage, what can they do? Hong'er has been busy in the house for so many years, and she has no way to do it herself, and she can't raise so much money for a while! ”
Xie Qigong was silent, and he could see his anger from his back.
"Master, Aunt Deng is here."
Pang Fu rushed inside to report through the door.
Xie Qigong said without thinking: "No! ”
Pang Fu paused, and then said: "Aunt Deng said that she came for the uncle's business, and insisted on asking to see her. ”
Wang raised his head suddenly, Aunt Deng had never participated in the affairs of the mansion over the years. Not to mention meddling in her affairs, it suddenly came now. She couldn't help but lift her heart even higher.
Xie Qigong was also a little surprised by Aunt Deng's behavior, he has always adhered to the rule of not suppressing his concubine. It is also strictly forbidden for the concubine to ask about the rights and wrongs of the house, if it is usual, it will naturally ignore it, but at this time, she is hating Wang and Xie Hong's teeth, thinking that if she steps on two more feet, she is afraid that Wang will be more honest in the future, so she said: "Let her in!" ”
Aunt Deng is still wearing a stone blue wide-sleeved dress, with black velvet on her head to wipe her forehead, if you don't look at her beautiful face and fair skin. It's just a complete old lady.
She came in and glanced at Xie Qigong first, silently blessed her, and then knelt beside Wang, looked at the ground and said, "The concubine begs the master to spare them." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Wang family almost fell to the ground!
Xie Qigong was also so shocked that he stopped brushing his beard and looked at her motionlessly.
"What did you say?"
"The concubine begs the master, for the sake of the wife who has worked hard for the Xie family for so many years, spare the uncle."
The voice is still so soft, with a little weakness. But the tone was very firm, as if saying this sentence was her unshirkable responsibility as a concubine.
Wang's eyes widened and his lips pursed, but he didn't know what to say.
Although there has been no head-on conflict between her and Aunt Deng for so many years. It can also be said that Aunt Deng has never had the ability to compete with her from the beginning, but no matter what, the person who came to intercede for Xie Hong should never be her!
Xie Qigong looked at Aunt Deng for a long time. He sat down on the circle chair and said, "Why did you come to intercede?" But the tone was much calmer.
Aunt Deng raised her head. said: "The concubine doesn't want to say anything, and the concubine doesn't have anything else to think about." I just remembered that my lord often told us. Our Xie family doesn't care about it internally, but it is a family externally. No one can drag the Xie family back and shame the lintel of the Xie family. Only when the Xie family is famous and the third master's career is smooth, can we truly be called a family.
So the concubine thought that if the master took back the money he gave to Brother Hua to marry him, then even if the uncle borrowed money, this matter in the house would be spread.
"Don't say anything else, others will only say that the lord is unfair, the uncle has done his filial piety in front of the lord for 30 years, and in the end he has taken on the name of a step-eldest son, so for the lord, isn't it a great disadvantage? In the final analysis, the uncle is still a gentleman in the house after all, and when it comes to the Xie family, he wants to go out to borrow money, which is not very good. ”
As she spoke, Wang's eyes gradually brightened, and he looked at Xie Qigong hopefully.
Xie Qigong's expression also relaxed a little, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "You mean, can I still punish him?" ”
Aunt Deng said: "For the reputation of the Xie family, for the sake of the third master, I can't be punished like this." is not to mention the uncle's filial piety to the master, that is, to the wife, in the past 30 years, the wife has taken care of the housekeeping in an orderly manner, which one is not satisfied? Which one doesn't listen? The lord wants to be punished, and he must think of a perfect way, neither can he chill the wife who has worried about the house for so many years, nor can he wronged the uncle. ”
Xie Qigong snorted and looked at Wang.
Wang lowered his head and remained silent.
There was silence in the room for a moment, Xie Qigong stood up, paced two steps to the center, and said, "What you said also has some truth. Since this is the case, then, the three thousand taels of silver can not be paid for now. But it is impossible for me not to punish him in this matter, first exempt him from chewing in the long room for half a year, and as for the matter of repaying the silver, I will see how he behaves later. ”
There are so many people in the long room, and it is enough to make Xie Hong's head bigger. But no matter what, compared to asking him to hand over the three thousand taels of silver that he had left in three days, it was really a forgiveness.
Wang's heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, master!" ”
Aunt Deng helped her stand up, she glanced at her, and then looked at Xie Qigong. In fact, I still wanted to ask Xie Tong Xie Qi's wedding silver, but I saw that his face was still dark, his lips opened and closed.
It's a blessing to have passed this hurdle now, and as for these things, I have no choice but to act on the opportunity.
Xie Qigong finished drinking the tea in the cup and walked out.
Wang took Aunt Deng's hand and said softly: "Thanks to you for breaking the siege today." You're good, I'll remember. ”
Aunt Deng lowered her eyes and stood up: "Sharing worries and solving problems for my wife is a matter for the concubine." The concubine didn't dare to ask his wife to reciprocate. ”
Wang smiled and let her go back.
Aunt Deng walked out the door with her front foot. Xie Hong followed with his hind feet.
"Mother, this is all poked out by that girl. She dared to force you to get off the stage like that, did you just let her go? ”
Wang stood up. A slap in the face: "You shut up for me!" ”
Xie Hong was stunned, covering his face and looking at her blankly.
Wang had never beaten this son, and after the beating, he realized that he had done it, and he immediately sat down in the chair to prop up his forehead.
After a long time, she exhaled, sat up straight, and said, "It's too late for you to say this.
"Even if she tore her face with me, and went from fighting with me to the open, didn't you see it? When she exposed you and me, she said everything in the name of clearing up for Sister Wei, and the master would not do anything to her. - It's a chess sister. You go and get ready, let her go and live in the moon hermitage outside the city for a while. If she does this, Xie Wan will not let her go. ”
Xie Hong was stunned, not knowing what to say.
In the Yifeng Courtyard, Xie Wan smiled and invited Huang to sit down, and asked Yuxue to serve fragrant tea.
Huang said with red eyes: "This kind of thing happened, it made you laugh." If you hadn't come forward to testify today, Sister Wei might not have been rumored to be like her. I really didn't expect that Sister Qi would be able to do such a thing at such a young age. In vain, I treat her well on weekdays, but now she has been pitted by her. It can be seen that people are not disguised. ”
Xie Wan gently persuaded: "The third aunt doesn't have to be sad, it's just an accident." I believe that the big sister's personality is by no means the kind of person who does not know the rules. ”
Huang sighed. Tears rolled down again, "Don't mention this, I don't know how to say it when I mention this." Sister Wei is not such a person who doesn't know the rules. But at the age of her and Wei Gongzi-you are still young, and you can't tell you clearly. In a word. This time, the tofu was thrown into the ash heap, and Hengjian couldn't be cleaned. ”
Xie Wan said: "In short. It's better to wait for the third uncle to come to the news, and then talk about it, he is in charge of everything. ”
Huang nodded, wiped his tears, and stood up: "There are a lot of things in the house, I don't stay long, I just came to thank you, it's hard for you to think so much about your sister." ”
"Where is the third aunt?"
Xie Wan hurriedly got up and sent her out all the way.
Back in the room, Yuxue had just cleaned up the cups and plates. Seeing Xie Wan, he straightened the tablecloth and said, "Why did these three grandmothers come in person?" ”
Xie Wan returned to his place and sat down, picked up the tea he hadn't drunk before, took a sip, and said, "Do you think the eldest girl doesn't know why I came forward?" We all knew it, but I didn't want to tear my face with them, and they didn't want to treat me as an enemy for the time being. If you really think she is grateful to me, you are very wrong. ”
Yuxue walked over and said, "Although I have maintained the relationship with Sanfang at the moment, I have a stiff relationship with my wife." ”
"What are you afraid of?" Xie Wan didn't care, "Even if there is no such thing, it will be a matter of time before I get into trouble with her." ”
Yuxue nodded and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. and the second girl are really too much. ”
Qian Zhuang walked over with a deep groan and said, "The second girl is out of the house, do you want to go to the Moon Nunnery?" ”
Xie Wan exhaled and said, "Forget it, I didn't suffer any losses anyway, she can't run away." This time, the uncle will definitely not be able to escape the master's punishment, and even if Xie Qi is moved now, it will only make them more vigilant. Let's hold on to the ground first, the best thing is to be caught off guard and wipe out the long house. ”
Qian Zhuang retreated awe-inspiringly.
Here Yu Xue was handing her tea, and Wu Xing suddenly walked in quickly: "Girl! There was news from the main courtyard, saying that the master was going to punish the uncle for handing over three thousand taels of silver within three days, and also ordered that the third young master and the second girl's wedding house would no longer be responsible! As a result, Aunt Deng came forward to intercede, and the lord changed the punishment to exempt them from chewing in the long room for half a year! ”
Xie Wan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, stopped in front of his chin for a cup of tea, and raised his tail note: "Aunt Deng? ”
Wu Xing nodded busily.
Xie Wan's face became gloomy. This time, using Xie Qigong to punish Xie Hong is a matter that she has in her heart, this Aunt Deng, what does she want to do?
"Wouldn't that be a cheap bargain for them?" Yuxue also felt a little difficult to accept.
Wu Xing sighed: "No one expected that such a Cheng would suddenly appear to bite gold. ”
A room full of people looked at Xie Wan.
Xie Wan didn't hurry to finish the half cup of tea, and then said slowly: "Then try it." (To be continued.) )
