Chapter Thirty-Eight: What Evil Spell Did the Fourth Brother Perform?
......
Standing in front of Wang Shouzhe was a middle-aged woman who was very well-dressed, wearing a jade bracelet with beads on her head, a high cloud boot on her feet, and a luxurious colorful cloud pattern silk skirt, looking like a famous lady in the city.
In addition, she had been carefully groomed before she came, her face was smeared with fat powder, and her lips were a little crimson. She doesn't look like a forty-year-old person at all, but looks like a mature beauty of twenty-seven or eighteen, which shows that she is usually well-maintained. And the eldest brother Wang Shouxin should be very fond of her, and she is more used to it.
It's just that there are some red threads in the eyes, and it is obvious that he cried not long ago.
Extremely rarely, she also held a large bamboo basket, which was covered with a red cloth.
As soon as Xu saw Wang Shouzhe so polite, the original nervousness and hostility in his heart immediately dissipated a little, and he immediately returned the salute honestly: "Xu's visit to the fourth uncle." ”
"Sister-in-law is polite. Wang Shouzhe smiled very sincerely, "Sister-in-law, come on, please go into the side hall to rest, it just so happens that my aunt is also there." As he spoke, he politely led Xu into the side hall.
Xu's expression tightened, and after seeing Gongsun Hui, he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Xu's visit to Mrs. Hui." "She has always been arrogant, as a straight-line woman of the Xu family in Changning, marrying Wang Shouxin has the mentality of getting married. But no matter how arrogant she is, she doesn't dare to pose in front of the concubines of the Shanyang Gongsun family.
What's more, the Gongsun clan is still the wife of the first patriarch, the mother of the current patriarch, and her elder!
"Yo, it turned out that the trustworthy family came, which gust of wind blew you here?" Gongsun Hui said with a slight coercion, but said with a smile on his face, "Come on, come on, sit down and talk, just taste the small spirit seed of Shanyang planted by Shouzhe's grandfather himself." ”
She put on an elder tone, and used the sentence "trustworthy", directly emphasizing the identity of the Xu family as Wang Shouxin's daughter-in-law, which obviously has a warning meaning.
"No, no, no, in front of Mrs. Hui, how dare I sit. Xu smiled awkwardly, she didn't expect that the eldest lady of Gongsun was also there, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come to Wang Shouzhe at this time.
Moreover, the tea that their mother and son drank was the spirit seed spirit tea when they heard it, how could she drink the spirit tea with her status in the Changning Xu family? As for marrying Wang Shouxin, it would be even more ......
"Fourth uncle, you are the pillar of the family. Xu Shi showed a slightly flattering smile, handed out the basket in his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I just see that your cultivation is too hard, so I will send you some fresh ingredients to replenish your body, so I won't disturb your mother and son's conversation......
With that, she put down the basket and prepared to leave.
"Sister-in-law and slow. Wang Shouzhe smiled and stopped, "It's rare for you to come to my side, let's have a cup of tea first." And I haven't seen the trustworthy brother for a long time, and I heard that he happened to have something to do and returned to the main house, so I asked the little guy to invite him over and have a meal together. ”
"This ......" Xu was a little flattered, but looked at Gongsun Hui with some trepidation.
"Shouzhe is the head of the Wang family, he asked you to sit on your own seat. Gongsun Hui's posture was slightly kinder.
Xu sat down squirming, although she was dressed luxuriously, but in front of Gongsun Hui, who was dressed more plainly, she didn't show any extravagance.
Wang Shouzhe called Wang Gui in and instructed: "Tell the big kitchen to cook a large piece of pork meat sent by the fourth old lady, and don't stew the meat too badly." In addition, find a skilled cook to open a small stove in our yard and cut two catties of Lingjiao yak meat. Well, and the pot of spirit wine is also brought, and the rest of the fresh fruits and vegetables are you can take care of. ”
"Yes, Master. By the way, the sixth master sent someone to send a fresh red eel into the family ice cellar, and the most precious spirit eel blood was also processed into blood tofu, saying that it was caught by the head of the family yourself, and it belongs to your private warehouse ingredients, and you are only allowed to eat it alone. Wang Gui reminded on the side.
"Hehe, ignore his words. Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Cut the middle section of the best red scale eel, and even bring the blood tofu." The rest is classified into the public treasury and distributed according to need, so that everyone can try it. After you make arrangements, go and invite my trustworthy brother here. ”
"Yes, Master. Wang Gui was ordered to retreat.
"Fourth uncle, this, this is too rich...... It's too much for you to break the bank. Xu's body trembled, and he said weakly, "Make it simpler, simpler." ”
"Sister-in-law, what are these words? Wang Shouxin is my eldest brother, and you are my sister-in-law. It's rare for our family to get together for dinner, how can we be casual?" Wang Shouzhe personally took a teacup and poured a cup of spiritual tea for the Xu family, "Sister-in-law will taste this little spirit seed of Shanyang first, and drink it while it is hot." ”
Xu Shi took a sip of tea tremblingly, and the bitterness and unique charm of the spirit tea hit her heart. Suddenly, she wanted to cry.
She has been a girl in the Xu family in Changning for 19 years, and she has been married to the Ping'an Wang family for 21 years, but she has never had the blessing to drink a cup of spiritual tea. This first cup of spiritual tea in her life turned out to be something that Wang Shouzhe invited her to drink.
Originally, she had come here, and she was ready to beg him. If it really can't be done, then be ready to do that thing that spills and curses the streets, and make a big deal and alarm all the people.
For the sake of her son, she can't take care of anything, and she can't be open-minded.
But she never expected that Wang Shouzhe, who was the noble descendant of the family and the patriarch, would respect her so much and treat her as a sister-in-law.
"Fourth uncle, that, that thing ......" Suddenly, Xu felt that he couldn't open his mouth. Wang Shouzhe treated her couple so kindly, maybe things will take a turn for the better.
"Sister-in-law, are you talking about Zong Wei's child?" Wang Shouzhe did not have the slightest intention of avoiding this question, but said with a smile, "I have already planned this matter, and when the eldest brother comes, let's talk and talk about it." Sister-in-law, you eat some snacks to cushion your stomach first. ”
"Yes. Xu hurriedly swallowed his words back, looking at Wang Shouzhe's attitude, it didn't seem like he wanted to hold on, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
After a while, the family cook came, and after meeting Wang Shouzhe, she was about to light a fire in the small kitchen in the courtyard, but was stopped by Wang Shouzhe: "Don't be too busy, just cut the fresh ingredients, cut the spirit yak meat and red eel into thin slices and put them on the plate, the thinner the better." Also, make a brazier out of fine charcoal, and prepare a clean copper basin with clean water, and some salt. ”
Although the cook was inexplicable, she dared to disobey the order of the head of the house, so she did what she said.
"Zhe'er, what are you doing?" Gongsun Hui said strangely, "What brazier do you make on this hot day?"
"Auntie, you'll know in a moment. Wang Shouzhe smiled, "This is a cooking method I saw in ancient books, which is unique and delicious." ”
"You, I'm getting more and more incomprehensible about you, just don't waste the precious spiritual food. Gongsun Hui suppressed her curiosity, took Xu's hand and asked for warmth. She was very surprised by Wang Shouzhe's way of dealing with Wang Zongwei's affairs, at least he didn't rely on the authority of the patriarch to use brutal means to suppress.
However, with her understanding of the Xu family, she should not stop casually. Therefore, Gongsun Hui is even more curious about how his son will deal with the next things.
After a while, Wang Shouxin hurried under the leadership of Wang Gui, as soon as he entered the house, his face was cold and angry, and he reprimanded Xu: "You ignorant woman, how dare you, how dare you come to Shouzhe......"
Wang Shouxin is 43 years old this year, with a face with Chinese characters and a beard, and he looks quite unangry and arrogant.
Unexpectedly, the Xu family didn't eat his set at all, and the temper suppressed by Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui suddenly exploded: "Wang Shouxin! What kind of are you talking about." Zong Wei is like that, can I not come and beg your brother to let him go? Zong Wei is my son, can I watch him be killed by you? or watch his future be lost by that ...... Snatched away by Wang Luotong?"
In other words, it is estimated that her money-losing goods have blurted out. But in front of Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui, she never dared to say this sentence, and swallowed it back in a hurry.
"You, you...... Shouzhe is the patriarch, not to mention that the little beast should be beaten and punished. Wang Shouxin blushed and said angrily, "If you hadn't protected him...... I ...... a long time ago."
However, his set obviously can't suppress the Xu family.
"Sister-in-law, big brother. Wang Shouzhe prevented them from becoming more and more noisy, and immediately waved his hand to stop them, "It's all a family, what is the noisy and noisy thing like?" ”
"Yes, uncle. Xu immediately put away the momentum of the fierce woman obediently, sat down honestly, and said gently, "I listen to my uncle, it's all a family, don't make noise, let's be reasonable." ”
"Shhh
Wang Shouxin on the side gasped, and his heart was shocked, did the fourth brother perform any spells? It was the first time in his life that he had seen Xu so well-behaved and obedient, and he instantly suppressed his violent temper and reasoned?
