Chapter 028: A Tough Girl
Outside Xu's house, there was silence and no one.
Huang Lirong pointed at the nose of the second uncle of the Xu family and scolded: "What's the matter with you Xu Fuji? Fight against the court everywhere! ”
The second uncle of the Xu family couldn't wait to kneel on the ground and shouted that he was wronged: "Lord Huang, it's my eldest niece who is not sensible, she ...... her"
Speaking of Xu Baizhi, the second uncle of the Xu family was angry, and the complaints in his stomach couldn't be vented for three days and three nights.
A girl's family, stubbornly insisting on hegemony.
If it goes on like this, the Xu family's face will make her lose everything.
But the eldest brother who is old and immortal is made of stone, and he supports Xu Baizhi hard, and he, a man from the Xu Mansion, can't intervene in business at all.
"The official will give you the last month's deadline, if you can't persuade your eldest brother and niece to change their minds, then don't blame the official for being ruthless."
Huang Lirong's eyes were fierce, he turned around and got into the carriage and went home.
Only the second uncle was left standing at the gate of Xu's mansion, stomping his feet in a hurry.
……
……
After the two flies in the banquet room left, Xu Baizhi exhaled lightly, and carried her skirt to the second floor of Shuiyue Building to greet Mrs. Xu.
The father and daughter talked for a long time, and outsiders didn't know what they said. Probably inseparable from business, Huang Shilang, and imperial businessmen.
Leaving from Shuiyue Tower, Xu Baizhi yawned and was very sleepy, and almost fell to the ground a few times, which was distressing to watch.
She's just a young woman. Usually a girl like her should embroider flowers and enjoy the scenery in the house, teach her husband and children, and the family will be happy.
But she Xu Baizhi is a real man, and she has to show her face outside, and deal with bad people who have bad intentions towards Xu Fuji every day.
Energetic men can't stand it, let alone a weak woman.
I finally returned to my own small building.
There is a bright light at the door of the small building.
The orange lights are like a lighthouse in the middle of the night, pointing the way home for the fishing boats at sea.
The little girl with braided hair was sitting on the threshold at the entrance of the courtyard, hugging her knees, her head sinking and sinking, and she was very sleepy.
Xu Baizhi walked to the side, raised her hand and patted Qingque's shoulder, telling her to go back to the house and sleep early.
Qingque raised his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and dragged the tail note: "Miss~"
"Go back to sleep." Xu Baizhi said with concern.
Qingque stood up with the lantern, shook his head vigorously, and pouted: "Miss, my uncle hasn't slept yet, and my uncle told Qingque to wait for Miss here." ”
"He ......" Xu Baizhi was slightly surprised, and quickly changed her title: "Hasn't your husband slept yet?" ”
Qingque nodded, leading the way with a lantern, Xu Baizhi followed behind, muttering in her heart.
Before they could enter the house, they heard an intermittent coughing sound coming from inside the house.
"You go back to sleep first, and come back tomorrow morning," Xu Baizhi glanced back at Qingque, who had also been running outside for a day today, and it was not much easier than herself.
Although Qingque's sleepy eyes were about to be unable to open, at this time, the girl's little round face became more and more determined.
She pulled Xu Baizhi's sleeve and shook her head: "I don't, I want to follow Miss." ”
Xu Baizhi knew what Qingque was worried about, and touched her head: "It's okay, my husband is a scholar, and he knows how to be courteous....."
"If I don't, I'll follow." The blue finch has never been so determined, with big round eyes.
Xu Baizhi had no choice but to take her in.
"Squeak—"
The door was pushed open, and Xu Baizhi stepped into the room with a slightly stiff smile on her face.
The furnishings in the house are simple, several pots of flowers and plants are placed by the window, and there are several bookshelves in the room abruptly, and there are all kinds of different books displayed on the shelves.
The space in the house is not large, and the bookshelves are long and wide, filling the room to the brim.
Passing by a few bookshelves and entrances, there is a strong smell of medicinal residues.
On the edge of the bed sat a pale, skinny young man, who seemed to be able to be blown away by a gust of wind.
The man, who was emaciated and dressed in a white shirt, was barefoot on the ground, and was struggling to move out of the room with the help of the furniture in the room, seemingly aiming at the tea on the table not far away.
Seeing this, Xu Baizhi hurriedly trotted to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, and delivered it to the man.
"Thank you, lady... Ahem..."Li Wencheng covered his mouth and coughed lightly, caught the teacup and drank half a glass of water, which made him feel better.
The man is none other than Xu Baizhi's husband, Li Wencheng.
Speaking of Li Wencheng, five years ago he was also a good young talent in Beijing.
He is handsome, intelligent since he was a child, familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and has a bright future for a while.
It's just a pity that Li Wencheng is not a native of Beijing.
He was poor since he was a child, his parents died, and he could afford to go to Beijing to take the exam, thanks to the funding of Mrs. Xu.
Five years ago, Xu Baizhi and Li, Mrs. Xu recruited a son-in-law for her at home.
Li Wencheng has not been successful for many years, he is disheartened, he is alone in the capital, and he thinks of the kindness of Mrs. Xu, so he endures the white eyes of others and becomes the son-in-law of the Xu family.
It's been five years.
Before the two got married, Li Wencheng suffered from tuberculosis and coughed all day long.
I heard that on the day of the wedding, Li Wencheng suffered from a lung disease, and he actually coughed and passed out at the ceremony, and was laughed at for a while.
In the five years since he got married, Li Wencheng's illness has become more and more serious.
Slowly, my legs began to disobey the call, and I needed to be supported by others to walk.
From a high-spirited scholar to a wasted person who is not comfortable with his actions.
This is not a small blow!
Fortunately, the Xu family has a big business and is looking for famous doctors, so Li Wencheng will not die at a young age.
Xu Baizhi helped Li Wencheng sit down on the edge of the bed.
While the man was drinking water, he reached out and stroked his back, taking care of him meticulously.
Li Wencheng put down the teacup, took a few breaths, and his face looked better: "Thank you lady.... Ahem...."
"You and I, husband and wife, what are you doing when you say these things.... It's so late, my husband hasn't slept yet, is there anything important to find me? ”
At this hour, Li Wencheng had already fallen asleep.
But today....
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Really.
After hearing this, Li Wencheng immediately said: "The second uncle came to me today, saying that Xu Fuji is in trouble, let me persuade ......"
"I know that the lady is stubborn, although she is a daughter, her heart is not inferior to any man in the world."
"But in terms of business, we still have a second uncle, leave it to him..."
"The second uncle is also kind, and he also wants to share some for the lady...."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..... Ahem"
After a violent cough, Xu Baizhi hurriedly went to pour water again.
"Don't work hard, husband, I know all this." Xu Baizhi looked at Li Wencheng and nodded.
Li Wencheng held the teacup in both hands and smiled knowingly: "I won't say much about the side, and you will be annoyed if you talk too much..."
He looked at the outsiders in the house, waved his hand, and ordered: "Qingque, you go back first, I still have something to say to your young lady." ”
Qingque blessed her body and exited the house step by step.
After the door was closed, Li Wencheng looked at Xu Baizhi beside him.
His eyes were shining, with a look of expectation: "Angelica Bai, I ....."
Before Li Wencheng touched Xu Baizhi's hand, Xu Baizhi suddenly got up and bowed her head: "Husband, it's late at night, I'll go back and rest first." ”
The implication is that I will talk about it tomorrow.
After that, Xu Baizhi was about to leave without looking back.
Li Wencheng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Baizhi's arm, his face was very anxious: "Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi, we have been married for five years, five years... Recently, my husband's body has improved....."
Xu Baizhi's face instantly turned pale, turned around and put aside Li Wencheng's hand, pointed at his nose and said angrily: "Li Wencheng, how did you get your illness, do you need me to say it again?" ”
"Father doesn't know anything yet, only that you got sick unintentionally."
"Father still thinks that it is my Xu family that has brought you misfortune, and I am annoyed every day, but is this the case?"
"Where did you go a month before you got married? You know it best in your heart. ”
"That girl died early in the end, and died a miserable death, and she was rotten."
Li Wencheng was silent on the spot, and couldn't help coughing twice, and his body trembled violently.
"I didn't mean to, it was her, it was me who was seduced by that slut." Li Wencheng raised his face with a white face, because of coughing, and the blue tendons on his forehead erupted, and defended.
"It doesn't matter who seduces whom, doesn't it matter, does it?" Xu Baizhi smiled bitterly and was about to leave.
Li Wencheng wanted to stop him, but his legs were weak and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.
There was a "poof" sound, and there was a muffled sound.
Xu Baizhi turned her head to look at it when she heard the sound, and couldn't bear to help again.
Li Wencheng seized this opportunity and held Xu Baizhi's hand: "Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi, I am your husband, I like you, I like your ......"
Xu Baizhi only felt disgusted, pushed Li Wencheng away, and fell to the ground with herself.
"Bai Zhi, you believe in being a husband, you believe... Ahem...."Li Wencheng sat on the ground, very excited.
Where is there still the usual gentle and elegant reading person. He shouldn't have been, but before he got married, he couldn't help but be tempted to go to the Qinglou once.
Since that time, he has contracted a strange disease.
Externally, it is said to be tuberculosis, but only a few people know that this disease is not tuberculosis at all.
If it weren't for the nourishing feeding of precious medicinal stones all these years, he would have died long ago.
Because of his excitement, Li Wencheng kept coughing, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
Looking at the man's uncomfortable appearance, Xu Baizhi was even more uncomfortable.
She struggled to stand up, looked at the self-inflicted man on the ground, and said coldly: "In the future, if you abide by your duty, I will still treat you with courtesy, if not..."
"How else?" Li Wencheng suddenly raised his head and said fiercely.
He clenched his fists and slammed the floor a few times.
There is a "thump" sound.
As if he wanted to vent all the grievances of so many years.
"I, Li Wencheng, am a future scholar... You're just a cheap businessman! ”
"How dare you do this to me? You slut! ”
"Five years, five years, do you know how I've spent these five years?"
Li Wencheng pointed at Xu Baizhi and shouted: "You are a married woman, you show up all day long, you are shameless, you are an adulteress, a slut!" ”
"Whore, slut!" Li Wencheng kept cursing in his mouth, and his face turned red.
Pedal Pedal –
A series of hurried footsteps came.
Both of them in the room subconsciously looked back.
Outside the door, Qingque, who had never gone far, vigorously pushed open the door, took hurried steps, and knocked over several bookshelves along the way.
Her little figure walked to the back room and came to Li Wencheng.
", did you let you in!" Li Wencheng saw who it was, and immediately scolded.
"Smack!"
Qingque raised his arm and gave Li Wencheng a big mouth.
"You'd better put yourself in the right position, a son-in-law, if you want to fight or kill, it's not just as we please."
The son-in-law who left the dynasty has no human rights, and he is at the same level as the cheap prostitute in the Qinglou, and he may not be as good as the cheap prostitute, at least he can serve different masters.
If the son-in-law upsets the master's family, he may be killed with a cane and dragged to a mass grave to be hastily buried.
"Miss is kind-hearted, I'm not!" Qingque's eyes widened and he said word by word.
Li Wencheng only felt a hot pain in his cheeks.
He covered his cheeks and looked at the angry girl in front of him in disbelief.
A girl who serves people dares to beat a future doctor!
"You're actually...."
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, he slapped him again.
Qingque shook the palm of the shocked numb, pointed at Li Wencheng's nose, and threatened: "If you dare to talk nonsense, it will still be a slap!" ”
Xu Baizhi watched from the side, her mouth slightly open..... The blue finch that insects are afraid of, how can it .....
"Miss, let's go back and ignore this pickle." Qingque stepped forward to support Xu Baizhi, and the master and servant immediately left Li Wencheng's house.
Before leaving, the little girl took a sip on the ground: "Pickled!" ”
Li Wencheng was incompetent and furious, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that he would be slapped by another girl.
He is now a helpless and sick cripple.
can't beat a young and energetic little girl.
