079 Auntie
But from the next day, he always had nothing to do and took her to visit Ren Jun's yard, and then he always asked Yin Zuo to call him as soon as he got something delicious and fun. Xie Wan didn't care about it at first, but later saw that he always praised himself in front of Ren Jun, intentionally or unintentionally, and he also understood a little, and his brother was going to send her and Ren Jun to a pile!
In the previous life, the master of the Ren family came to the door by himself, why did he want them to find him in this life?
Xie Wan said to Xie Lang solemnly: "Don't get me involved in your affairs in the future, I don't like Ren Jun!" ”
She won't let Xie Qigao's idea of marrying succeed, but she will never come over by herself. Ever since she was almost dragged into the water by Ren Jun because of that piece of jade, she never wanted to have anything to do with him again.
"Wanwan!" Xie Lang didn't understand, it was obvious that Ren Jun was gentle and careful, and he was personable, no matter how he said it, he was a good family. And Xie Wan actually doesn't like him! "Wanwan, don't think that you are still young, you can not pay attention to these things. We don't have parents to call the shots, so we go first. I will always have to find a good home for you to rest assured! ”
Xie Wan was speechless. "Is it that if you are engaged now, does it mean that you can sit back and relax? If you are engaged, you can also withdraw from your relatives, and now no one cares, which is better than being slapped in the face by others. Brother should take care of his own business! If you don't have to do your homework, you can learn to read the account books, and although you don't need to be in charge, you can't always understand nothing. ”
"Wanwan!"
Xie Lang stared at her back and shouted, but she had already entered the room and closed the door with a bang.
Although Xie Lang felt deeply frustrated, he was a sister slave, so this matter had to be stopped. As for what he thinks in his heart. But no one cares.
Luo Sheng went to Jingshi and came back after a while, and Xie Hua had already finished Najib here at the end of July.
The next step is to prepare for the big gift.
Although the daughter of the oil mill is not as expensive as the girl of Xie Mansion. But in the end, it was the young grandmother who married in, and it was a big gift of five hundred taels of silver. According to the rule, the other party's dowry will only double to 1,000 taels, and now the average squire's family marries a daughter at least 2,000 taels of silver, and the dowry of 1,000 taels of silver is married into a family like Xie Fu, how can there be any decency?
The Wang family has been very attentive to Xie Qigong these days, and Xie Hong has done what he likes, and he has not known where to find a few pairs of calligraphy and paintings to dedicate to him.
Therefore, Xie Qigong has been in the mansion for most of the time recently, and the main courtyard can often hear him laughing with the Wang family, and even Xie Qi has a good chess piece for him.
Xie Wan asked Yuxue to inquire about Xie Qigong, and finally agreed to how much money the Wang family would give Xie Hong to handle Xie Hua's marriage. Pang Shengjia personally came over and said, "The master hasn't decided yet." But it seems that he has been thinking about this, and yesterday he asked the uncle to take the account book of the treasury and turn it over, and then asked Ren Gongzi some things about the marriage of the Ren family. ”
Xie Wan smiled and asked Yuxue to grab two handfuls of money for her.
Pang Shengjia smiled and stuffed it into his arms, "The third girl is always so polite. When I got the news, I'll tell the girl again. ”
Chunhui gave her a curtain, and she also got a smiling face.
These days, after Yuxue's persuasion, Yufang understood that her mind was wrong on Xie Lang, and she never appeared in Xie Lang's house again. And Xie Lang didn't see her appear. I didn't even ask. This made Yufang even more sad, so when she saw Xie Wan, she always bit her lip and lowered her head, looking gloomy and sad.
Same as a woman. Xie Wan understood her feelings. So in the past few days, he didn't ask her to come forward to wait, but let Chunhui take care of her clothes.
Chunhui is a maid sent by the house, and she has been cautious in everything in the past two years. Nothing went wrong. Except for being called by the Wang family to ask twice at the beginning, there was no abnormality afterwards. Later, he never had contact with the Wang family again. He is an honest man in this group.
But in the end, I came halfway, and it was not easy to use.
She had nothing to do all the day. When he walked out of the front yard, he saw Qian Zhuang picking locust pods on the big locust tree in the courtyard as a hidden weapon to play, and his heart moved, so he beckoned him down and asked, "I don't know if there is a little girl like you who can work hard and needs to find an errand to do?" ”
Qian Zhuang said: "Such people naturally have. I just don't know what the girl is going to do? ”
"I'm a girl's family, and sometimes it's not so convenient to take you in and out," she said. Yuxue and the others are also older, and they will be released in two years at most. If there is such a person, they can not only take care of some trivial things for me like Yuxue and them, but also know how to prevent it, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
After hearing this, Qian Zhuang suddenly smiled: "So that's what it meant." There are no ready-made people on the small hands. However, my master in Cangzhou can inquire. Many of the people there have martial arts heirlooms in their ancestors, and there may not be any particularly profound ones, but it is not difficult to find a few self-defense skills. ”
Xie Wan was overjoyed: "So good! ”
Qian Zhuang immediately went to Cangzhou to write a letter.
Xie Wan only had such an idea on a whim, after all, she had never seen a woman who knew kung fu in her two lives, and now she learned from Qian Zhuang's mouth that this idea was not out of the blue, so she was naturally overjoyed.
With a maid who knows kung fu, then even if the time to move out of the house needs to be delayed accordingly, it is not a big deal.
It's almost August, and the yard can already smell the strong fragrance of osmanthus.
Pang Sheng's family came to tell him that Xie Qigong approved 3,000 taels of silver for Xie Hua's marriage. That night, Xie Qigong stayed in Aunt Deng's house in the side courtyard, and the Wang family personally asked people to add bedding.
Xie Qigong has accepted three aunts, but none of them have children. One is dead. One was sent to Aconitum ten years ago, and now he is also sick, and he asked the villager's lady to take care of it, and Pang Xin will send some supplements and medicinal materials every quarter.
The rest is Aunt Deng, Aunt Deng is also in her forties, she is silent all the year round, she lives in the small side courtyard behind the main courtyard, and she doesn't go out much on weekdays, Xie Wan only sees her appear at the dining table every New Year or New Year's Day, because the concubine can't see outsiders, so Xie Rong never came out when he sang the big play.
Xie Qigong seems to have remembered it before he goes once.
Counting it, Aunt Deng is only two or three years younger than the Wang family, and it should have been accepted into the house before the Wang family remarried.
Of course, Xie Wan would not believe that Xie Qigong would have taken a fancy to a lifeless person as a concubine, thinking that he must have been smiling at the beginning, as for why it became like this, then you have to ask the Wang family to have the answer.
Xie Wan had no intention of meddling in the affairs of their inner house, and she couldn't use these to achieve her goals, but she would notice her only when things were going well recently, and she was in a happy and idle mood.
But she didn't expect that she would actually meet Aunt Deng in the upper room, and what was even more surprising was that Aunt Deng actually smiled at her.
At that time, it was twilight, the early autumn wind was blowing under the corridor, and there were a few autumn leaves scattered on the ground. As soon as the two eyes met, Aunt Deng smiled slowly at her.
Xie Wan can't remember how many times she has seen her, but she has never smiled at anyone in her memory, let alone this kind of smile that looks like she is alone.
There was no one under the porch at that time.
Xie Wan groaned and turned around, wanting to see if she really had something to say, but she had already walked smoothly as usual and walked towards the small courtyard in the back without looking back.
After a few days, Aunt Deng seemed to have evaporated from the world, did not show up, and there was no news about her.
Xie Wan had to believe that the smile was really just her illusion.
Xie and Zhang's family are scheduled to celebrate the big ceremony on August 18.
Xie Hong and his wife have been very busy recently, they have to be busy repairing the new house, they have to be busy with the purchase of banquets, and they also have to add some furniture to the courtyard of the new house.
Although Qifeng Courtyard is not small, it can't accommodate the many children in the house, and there are two aunts, so it is a little crowded.
Therefore, the small courtyard where Xie Hua lives is not big, and when the Zhang family comes in, he has to add some people, so the people's residences and beds, tables and chairs must also be prepared, so the large wing rooms in the original courtyard have to be changed to two rooms, and the walls and windows must be built, which all need to use money, so it is very troublesome.
Fortunately, the Wang family also made up a hundred taels of silver in private, and finally did not use the three thousand taels of silver public funds.
However, it was still cramped, so Ruan's back touched Xie Hong: "My wife has been in charge of the house for so many years, she must have some self-consideration, it is better to borrow it first and use it, and then we will pay it back when we have it." ”
Xie Hong thought about it and really asked.
Wang's lungs exploded when he heard this: "Where do I have any personal money?"
"You don't know how I got in the first place! The cabinet in this hand is full of money from the public high school, although a few broken silver have been deducted over the years, but don't you take all the money you take from me on weekdays? A man as shrewd as a master, how much money can I deduct?! You unconscious things are bent on me off! ”
Xie Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize, and said that he was confused.
In the end, it is the eldest son who hurts the most, and it will be forgotten when the Wang family is angry.
On this day, he was also worried about how to round this field for him, and suddenly rushed in on Tuesday outside and said, "Madam! Wei Gongzi is here! ”
Wang sat up: "Which Wei Gongzi?" ”
"It's the young master of the Qi family who came with the young master of the Qi family in Hejian last time! The little son of the Jingshi Ginseng Adult's family! ”
"What?!"
Wang was also taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't know why he suddenly came again.
But he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly went out of the door, and when he arrived at the second gate, he raised his eyes and saw a half-tall young man dressed in brocade clothes at the shadow wall, which was actually Wei Xian who had been here before, and he was overjoyed!
"Wei Gongzi!"
The weather gradually cooled down, and after lunch, Xie Wan took Cheng Yuan and Qian Zhuang to the shop for a walk.
Xie Wan has always kept Luo Sheng's whereabouts a secret.
Cheng Yuan took advantage of Xie Wan's time to pick up new goods and asked her: "Why haven't you seen Shopkeeper Luo these days?" ”
Xie Wan said with a smile: "He went to the Beijing Shixiang shop and will be back in two days." ”
Cheng Yuan was surprised: "The girl wants to open a shop in Beijing? ”
"Yes," she nodded calmly, "it's in the Qianmen Hutong near Shuntian Fuxue, and it was already decided yesterday." ”
The surprise in Cheng Yuan's eyes was even worse. Half a day before bowing and exiting speechlessly. (To be continued.) )
