Chapter 65: Suave
Due to his good relationship with Sizhu, Fang Qingyue was already very accustomed to eating at Qingbao's house.
Although Fang Qingyue's father and mother had never been to the Xia family, they often asked Fang Qingyue to bring some snacks, fruits, chicken, eggs, meat and other things, and it seemed that they knew and acquiesced in the movement of Fang Qingyue and the Xia family.
Fang Qingyue likes the lively and harmonious atmosphere of the Xia family very much, and he also likes to eat the food cooked by Qingbao, not to mention every day, there are always six or seven days of lunch in ten days that are eaten at Qingbao's house.
As soon as they came back from school, they hurriedly washed their hands, and Sizhu and Fang Qingyue pounced on the dining table like two hungry wolves.
Qingbao had already eaten, so he sat next to him and poured tea and water for them.
While watching them eat, Qingbao told them about Qin Niang, and after speaking, she also sighed: "If I were a man, I would definitely not take a concubine, in addition to delaying the lives of several women, I also have to endure the restlessness of the house, why is this difficult?" Wives and concubines are not enough to fight, children still have to fight, and when there is no quiet ear root in the rest of your life, why bother to find this sin! ”
Sizhu retorted: "Liuya, this is a woman's opinion, if the wife can't give birth to a son and then doesn't take a concubine, wouldn't it be a broken bloodline and cut off the heir?" ”
Although people who know this society value the inheritance of incense, Qingbao still argued: "Don't talk about blood, just take our family as an example, our boys have the second brother, the third brother and the five pillars in addition to you, even if you don't have a son, the bloodline of our Xia family can't be broken, and our ancestors have to be worshipped, it's just your branch." What's more, how do you know that a wife can't give birth to a son, how can a woman have to give birth to six or seven in this year, is it possible that you are a fortune teller, and you know in advance that your wife can't give birth to a son? Taking a concubine for your son is just an excuse for you men to covet beauty! ”
After saying a few words, the four pillars of the debate were speechless, so they had to lower their heads and go to eat.
Fang Qingyue listened to the debate between the two brothers and sisters on the side, chewed and swallowed slowly, and said: "Baby, what you say, just talk to us, don't say it when you go out, if it is heard by others, something may happen." ”
Qingbao knew that he cared about himself, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Of course I know, it's not that there is no one else except you and the fourth brother." ”
Fang Qingyue saw that Qingbao was sensible, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Baby, you have so many thoughts, so what kind of husband do you say you will find when you grow up?" ”
Hearing his sister's words, Sizhu immediately raised his head from the rice bowl and kicked Fang Qingyue fiercely. `P`JJWXC`P``P`JJWXC`P`
was asked by Fang Qingyue what kind of husband he was looking for in the future, and Qingbao was really asked.
In this life, she is only nine years old, so she really doesn't have to worry about this problem.
Without much hesitation, Qingbao replied casually: "Gentle and elegant, emotionally single-minded, I will definitely not accept concubines." ”
After finishing speaking, she saw Banxia waving in the courtyard and walked out.
Fang Qingyue, who was left in the house, touched his face, turned to Sizhu and said, "The last two are okay to say, this is gentle and elegant, I am cultivating now, is it too late?" ”
Banxia was boiling sugar, Chai He was a little not enough, and the sugar was boiling at a critical time and couldn't leave, so she beckoned Qingbao to stir some sugar first, and she went to hold firewood.
After she brought the firewood and lit the fire again, Qing Baocai came out of the kitchen again to see if Sizhu and Fang Qingyue had finished eating.
As soon as he took a step into the door, Fang Qingyue also stepped out, and the two of them collided.
Fang Qingyue was taller than Qing Bao, and almost knocked Qing Bao to the head, in a hurry, Qing Bao grabbed Fang Qingyue's sleeve indiscriminately, and under this pull, a white envelope slipped out of his cuff briskly.
Qingbao was short, and picked up the letter as soon as he squatted, the letter was sealed, but not a word was written on the envelope.
As soon as he saw Qingbao picking up the letter, Fang Qingyue's face changed a little, he reached out and snatched the letter, and stuffed it into his sleeve in a panic.
What's going on?
Love letter?
Which little girl did this little guy and secretly cross Chen Cang?
Qingbao knew that the children in this society were precocious, although she didn't want Fang Qingyue to delay her studies because of early love, but Fang Qingyue was not her biological brother after all, and she felt that she had no position to care about him.
However, from the perspective of a friend, Qingbao felt the need to advise him, so she comforted him meaningfully: "The personal relationship of children is like a seedling in the field, if the buds are unearthed too early, there is a chance that eight [nine] times out of ten will be whipped to death by the strong wind!" ”
As soon as he saw that Qingbao had misunderstood, Fang Qingyue immediately became anxious, and he immediately explained: Baby, this letter is not mine, I'm fine! ”
The four pillars in the room asked suspiciously, "Whose letter is it?" ”
Fang Qingyue was probably afraid that people would find out about this letter, so he hurriedly replied: "It's nothing." "I got rid of it.
With the four pillars of this interruption, Qingbao didn't bother with Fang Qingyue about this matter, walked over and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and took them to the kitchen.
Fang Qingyue hurriedly chased to the door of the kitchen, and saw that there was still Banxia in the kitchen, and he couldn't say anything in front of Banxia, so he had to swallow the words in his mouth back, and walked around the kitchen door for a while, and finally left unwillingly.
Qingbao didn't notice Fang Qingyue's depression at all, and she didn't take the envelope incident to heart, after all, Fang Qingyue was not a four-pillar and had no blood relationship with her. She and Fang Qingyue can only be regarded as friends, if Fang Qingyue wants to tell her, she will listen, if she doesn't want to tell her, she will not force it, after all, everyone has privacy.
Therefore, Qingbao was very happy to talk and laugh with Banxia in the kitchen, and did not pay attention to the young man who was sullen and walked away.
Not long after Fang Qingyue left, Xia Shouping and Huang Liuniang came back with Xiao Xia Yao, when Huang Liuniang came back, there was obvious displeasure on his face, even Xia Shouping, an honest man, was uncertain.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Qingbao hugged Xiao Xia Yao and fed her some hot water.
Huang Liuniang took off her cloak, sat down at the table and said angrily: "What else can I do?" Your good fifth aunt, she was fine today, she had to scold Qin Niang in front of me, who is this majesty for? ”
Today, Huang Liuniang and Xia Shouping took some kitchen utensils and rice grains and gave them to Xia Shouzu's family, and my brother and sister-in-law took pity on my younger brother, which was a good thing.
But when Li Shirong saw that Huang Liuniang, who was inferior to her everywhere before, and she had always belittled and stepped on low, not only wore gold and silver, but now she actually turned upside down to "charity" herself, her psychology was immediately unbalanced.
Li Shirong's father is Xia Shouzu's mentor, when Xia Shouzu was studying, not only did he read well, but he also looked very beautiful, so he fell in love with Li Shirong. After the two got married, Li Shirong believed that her mother's family was a scholar, and her husband was a scholar, so she naturally looked down on the three concubines who were shaving food in the soil. When she was at home before, she sneered at her three sisters-in-law, and the relationship between the concubines was very stiff.
Therefore, accepting the gift of a concubine who is not on a good relationship makes her feel very ashamed.
Li Shirong never expected that after ten years, the three concubines she looked down on the most would all turn over, and their families were better off than her, and she, who was born "noble", was reduced to accepting their "charity". So not only did she not miss Huang Liuniang's goodness, but how she wanted to make a fire.
When washing hands before eating, the gold bracelets on Huang Liuniang's wrists collided with each other and made a tinkling sound, which greatly stimulated Li Shirong and made Li Shirong, who had been depressed for a day and a night, unable to hold it anymore. She used the excuse that Qin Niang was holding all the dishes she didn't like to eat, and lost her temper during the banquet, scolding Qin Niang for being a villain, and she couldn't take off her poor appearance no matter how she dressed up.
Huang Liuniang is not a fool, so she naturally heard that Li Shirong was scolding her, and she had the intention to quarrel with Li Shirong, but she didn't name her, Huang Liuniang was angry, and she didn't even eat, so she came back with Xia Shouping.
Qingbao thought that Li Shirong from the scholarly family should be of higher quality, but he didn't expect that even the Yang family and the Zhang family were inferior, the Yang family and the Zhang family are living a good life now, and Huang Liuniang is okay on the surface, this Li Shirong is not even willing to maintain peace on the surface, and he is really not a smart person.
Knowing that his father and mother hadn't eaten yet, Qingbao hurriedly made them some food, and deliberately said something relieving, which made Huang Liuniang a little happier.
As soon as they finished eating, the second and fifth pillars returned.
The two of them originally went to the village to deliver the letter, but they didn't expect that when they heard that the youngest son was back, Mrs. Xia and Mr. Xia came with the car at that time, and Erzhu and Wuzhu had already sent the two old men to the fifth uncle.
Since the two old men came, no matter how unwilling Huang Liuniang and Xia Shouping were, they had to go over to see the old man and the old lady again, and they didn't come back until the evening.
Early the next morning, Xia Shouye's family and Xia Shouquan's family also arrived, and together with Xia Shouping's family, they all went to Xia Shouzu's house, and each family brought a lot of fish and meat to pick up Xia Shouzu's family.
This time, Li Shirong's performance was okay, except that the Qin Niang who called didn't even have time to rest, she didn't say anything out of tune.
And Mrs. Xia, to Xia Shouzu and Li Shirong, showed unprecedented softness and kindness, compared with Xia Shouzu's three sons at home, the treatment is really one on the earth and one in the sky.
Qingbao didn't like the fake greetings and the noise of the children, so he went home early with Banxia.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a cyan figure hovering in front of my house in the distance.
Qing Bao didn't need to look carefully, he could see at a glance that the person was Fang Qingyue.
The two of them see each other almost every day, and they are all too familiar.
"The more and more! Qingbao shouted, and sure enough, he saw the figure raise his head and look this way, and then greeted him.
When Fang Qingyue walked up to Qingbao and stood firm, he smiled implicitly and said indifferently: Baby, where have you been? ”
His tone was very soft and soft, like a spring breeze blowing through a lake.
