Chapter Twenty-Eight: Worry
At this moment, the Liu family regretted coming to the Xia family first! She thought, did her brain get into the water or someone slapped a brick before, otherwise why didn't she go directly to the old lady but came to Xia's place instead?
Liu sat there with a wooden face, listening to Xia talk about several aunts in her second room one by one, and then grabbed Xia's time to catch her breath and suddenly said, "If my sister-in-law is busy, I'll leave first!" ”
Xia Shi was stunned, "Huh? Second brother and sister, what is the matter with you coming to me today? ”
Liu stiffened, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally the hot blood pressure in his chest was lowered. She slowly touched the already cold teacup in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty: "Sister-in-law, you shouldn't have forgotten, right?" ”
Xia couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard this, and said, "How can I forget the matter of my second brother and sister?" Don't worry, I said I would keep it secret for you, then I will definitely do it, and I will let it rot directly in my stomach from now on, and promise not to pass it on to a third person! ”
A stream of old blood rushed straight to her throat, Liu Shi felt that she had even tasted the slightest fishy sweetness, she swallowed it with a white face, and then stood up woodenly, "Thank you so much, sister-in-law, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!" After saying this, she almost staggered out and hurried out a few steps, and was seen by the close-fitting maid who hurriedly came over to support her, and then left Xia's neon courtyard.
In the room, Xia raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips pulled out a hint of an intriguing smile.
"Madam, you say, is what the second lady said true?" Xia's nurse Mama Hu asked quietly.
Xia snorted coldly and said, "How many catties and taels does that girl have, don't you know?" ”
"But, the second lady, she ......"
"Let her go!"
Mama Hu sighed secretly, big girl, you can ask for more blessings!
But he said that the Liu family was angry with the Xia family, and turned around and went to the old lady's Rongkang Hospital, no matter what, she really couldn't swallow this breath today!
The old lady Wang was lying on the brocade at this time, hammering her legs with the little girl's ring, chatting with Mama Qin who was standing next to her.
"Speaking of which, the boss has been to the border for more than two years, and I don't know if he can come back during the Chinese New Year this year?"
Mama Qin knew that the old lady was missing her son, hey! As the saying goes, raising a child at the age of 100 is often worried about 99. This truth can't be wrong for any mother.
Mama Qin pondered and said: "Hou Ye is in a high position, and the things he has to take on are naturally important, otherwise the emperor will not send Hou Ye over." The old slave still heard the little Dongzi of West Street say that Yanqing has stopped a lot since the waiting master went, the old slave thought, it's been almost three years, and it's time for someone else's turn to guard, maybe, old lady, your wish can come true! ”
Hearing this, the Wang family felt a little comforted in his heart, and Mama Qin's words were actually not wrong. The court officials of the Western Shao Kingdom basically served a three-year term, and when the term expired, the emperor would be promoted or transferred to another place at his discretion, which was a common practice.
"Hey! You say, why doesn't the Bai family have a letter until now? Everything is good for everyone, but it's this heir...... Ay! It's really a heart that can't be enough! ”
As soon as the issue of Wu Anhou's heirs was mentioned, the old lady Wang's brows, which had just been flattened, couldn't help but wrinkle deeply. The eldest daughter is already fourteen years old, and there are a lot of daughters-in-law and aunts, but none of them can give birth to a son for the old family! The Bai family or the old lady personally selected carefully before Wu'an waited for the expedition, and chose a good one to accompany her to the border pass. I really expected to be able to give birth to a boy and a girl, who would have thought that it had been more than two years, and there was no news at all!
The old lady is angry when she thinks of this Bai clan now, where can Mama Qin not know about this matter! However, Wu Anhou is really evil enough, his daughter has given birth to several times, but he just can't see his son!
Mama Qin pondered and replied: "The old slave thinks that Xu is fate has not arrived!" Or maybe Master Hou wants to surprise you, maybe he will come back with his son when the time comes! So, old lady, relax! ”
The old lady Wang smiled and said, "You! Just know to make me happy! ”
Seeing that the old lady was happy, Mama Qin breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned his head and commanded Yahuan Fangchun to take a cup of ginseng tea, handed it to the old lady, and waited for a few sips. It's just that the tea cup is about to be put down, and out of the corner of Mama Qin's eyes, she saw the little girl in a lake-green shirt outside the door, hesitantly standing there with a tangled face.
Mama Qin was a little displeased, the maid ring in Rongkang Courtyard was basically under her control, and the girl ring in front of her was so unruly, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
"Xing'er, what's sneaky?"
When the little girl heard this, she hurriedly turned white with a little face, walked in cautiously, bowed her head, and knelt down in front of the old lady to confess.
"Ask the old lady to be kind, the slave didn't mean to, but the slave and the maid learned that the old lady was just going to rest, so she guarded the courtyard outside and didn't dare to let people disturb her, but the second lady looked like she was going to complain, and the slave didn't know what to do, so she ......."
The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Xing'er, and she couldn't hear any ups and downs in her voice: "The Liu family was bullied by the eldest daughter-in-law?" ”
It's no wonder that the old lady asks like this, after all, in this Wu'an Hou Mansion, in addition to the old lady herself, the person who can bully the head of the Erfang Liu family is the Wu'an Hou Lady Xia family!
"Slaves, slaves don't know!"
Apricot really didn't know.
The Wang family was in a good mood just now, so he didn't want to worry about Xing'er's little girl anymore, but he just remembered that the matter between the Liu family and the Xia family was a bit of a headache after all.
"Call her in."
"Yes!" Xing'er got up and hurried out as if she had been pardoned, and after a while, the second lady Liu walked in.
When Liu saw the old lady, he couldn't help crying with a sad face, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law and Lin'er!" ”
The old lady waved her hand to let the little girl ring who was hammering her legs retreat, and then Mama Qin leaned diagonally on the beauty pillow behind her, and then asked unhurriedly, "What's wrong?" What's the matter with Guan Lin? ”
Isn't this an awkward mess with the Xia family?
Liu Shi wiped away the non-existent tears with a handkerchief, and complained: "Yesterday, Lin'er had a conflict with Jin'er in the garden since you left here. Who knew that Jin'er snatched the jade hairpin on Lin'er's head without saying a word! After the daughter-in-law learned the truth of the matter, she thought that the big thing would be turned into a small thing, and the small thing would be turned into a small thing, so she took Lin'er to find Jin'er today, hoping that the two sisters could turn their rivalry into jade silk, who thought that Jin'er didn't know what was wrong, not only did she not appreciate it, but she also ...... And some nasty things were said! ”
"What?"
After listening to Liu's words, the old lady Wang couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes!
