Chapter 116: Speaking is better than singing
"Gold!" The moment Zhuang Yumeng opened the box, the champion's eyes were straight, and he took the golden hairpin out of the box, and couldn't stop admiring, "Mother, mother! Come and see! Gold! Gold!" Zhuangyuan's voice trembled with excitement.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiya snatched the golden hairpin and looked coldly at the somewhat crazy champion.
"What are you doing?" The golden hairpin was robbed, and the champion was very unhappy.
"The golden hairpin is a wedding gift from the official to Yumeng. If you snatch it away, the official wants to ask what you are going to do!" Qiao Xiya's face turned cold and asked sharply.
"My lord, you said it yourself, this is your wedding gift to Yumeng, that Yumeng is my wife, isn't her thing our family's thing? Don't say I'll take a look, even if I take it and sell it, then it has nothing to do with you, right?" The champion laughed.
"Sure enough, it's the champion, what a good tooth!" Qiao Xiya sneered, "I'm afraid that Zhuang Yuanlang has forgotten, in this dynasty, the dowry and dowry are all the property owned by the woman privately, since Yumeng's parents are gone, this official doesn't mind Yumeng's maiden family, this golden hairpin is a belated dowry." You have all heard it clearly today, I have made a record of this golden hairpin in all the pawnshops, and if you dare to pawn it privately, I don't mind accusing you of a crime of theft!"
Zhuang Yumeng's eyes turned red when he said this, but the faces of Zhuang Yuanlang's mother and son turned blue.
Qiao Xiya inserted the hairpin into Zhuang Yumeng's hair, took off her cloak and put it on Zhuang Yumeng, took her hand and said, "You used to be in Xianyang, I was in Jin'an, the road was far away, and the information was difficult to pass. You've been wronged so much, and I can't help you. Well, now that you're here, no one will dare to bully you in the future." Qiao Xiya took out a silk handkerchief from her arms and wiped away the tears on Zhuang Yumeng's cheeks, "Don't cry, a happy day." My uncle and aunt died early, and if you have any difficulties in the future, you will come to me, and we Qiaofu will be your backing." As she spoke, Qiao Xiya narrowed her eyes, and her eyes swept sharply over the mother and son, "Look who dares to bully you!" qs
"Don't dare, don't dare." The champion mother and son fought one after another.
"It's better to do that." Qiao Xiya snorted coldly.
"What time has it been? Why don't you eat yet?" As soon as Qiao Xiya's words fell, a slightly old voice came from the backyard.
With the sound of footsteps, an old man walked around to the front yard.
"My father ......," the champion introduced Qiao Xiya tremblingly.
Seeing that Qiao Xiya had no intention of stopping him, the champion hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man to come to Qiao Xiya, and said loudly into the old man's ear, "Dad! This is an official in the court! It's your daughter-in-law's guest!"
"Ah...... Good, good!" The old man nodded, "Then why don't you eat yet?"
"I'll do it." The old woman hurried towards the kitchen.
"The old man has bad ears, and he doesn't know anything about what he hears, so he should remember to eat in his heart." Zhuangyuan smiled and explained to Qiao Xiya.
"That's it." Qiao Xiya waved her hand. Looking at the sanctimonious people in this courtyard, Qiao Xiya felt worthless for Zhuang Yumeng. How could a girl like a flower and jade end up in such a field?
"Yumeng." In the blink of an eye, the old woman ran out of the kitchen, with a smile on her face, and asked cautiously, "Where is the axe for chopping wood?"
"Behind the stack of firewood." Zhuang Yumeng said softly, "Why don't you let me go."
"You don't move, you don't move." The old woman hurriedly pressed Zhuang Yumeng on the stone bench next to Qiao Xiya and sat down, "I'll come, I'll come, it'll be fine right away, you just sit and talk to the adults." With that, he ran into the kitchen again.
"Yumeng." After a while, the old woman came out again, "Where is the scoop for scooping water?"
"It's hanging on the wall." Zhuang Yumeng was a little helpless, "I'll do it."
"You rest, you rest." The old woman stopped Zhuang Yumeng, who wanted to get up, "You have been married to our family for so many years and worked hard, and I will do all this work in the future." With that, he ran into the kitchen again.
"Yumeng." Before Zhuang Yumeng could take a sip of tea, the old woman came out of the kitchen again and sneered, "Our rice ......."
"That's enough!" Qiao Xi
Ya really can't stand it. The old woman went back and forth a few times, and Qiao Xiya had already completely understood Zhuang Yumeng's situation and status.
"Big ...... My lord......" The old woman was frightened by Qiao Xiya's scolding, and bowed to Qiao Xiya with a smile, "My lord forgives me, my family is really embarrassed......
"On your son's wedding day, do you have all these unseemly foods at home?!" Qiao Xiya trembled angrily, "There is no chicken, duck and fish, don't you even have decent pastries and snacks?" Or is it ...... You didn't even prepare for today's feast?!"
"Big ...... Adults forgive ...... sins" The champion wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward and arched his hand, "The embarrassment at home is caused by the small study and exam, but today is a day of great joy for the little one and Yumeng, and the family is so embarrassed that they don't even have decent food, it really shouldn't be, and the one who owes Yumeng today will definitely double the compensation to Yumeng in the future, don't worry."
"That's a nice thing to say." Qiao Xiya sneered, "It seems that Zhuang Yuanlang is not only good at reading, but also has no less patronage of places such as teahouses and restaurants, this nice thing to say is one set at a time, I really don't know how much you can cash." Listening to the promise of the champion, Qiao Xiya couldn't help but get angry. She sneered at Zhuangyuan, "Why don't you first honor the ten-mile red makeup that you promised Yu Meng?"
"This ......" Zhuang's face changed instantly, and his face was red and white for a while, and he was uncomfortable.
"Xiya, forget it." Yu Meng pulled Qiao Xiya's sleeve and said softly, "Yun Lang has just won the champion, and he hasn't been assigned an official position yet, when he has an official and a half position, he will definitely give me ten miles of red makeup." I believe in him."
"Yumeng......" Qiao Xiya looked at Zhuang Yumeng, and was speechless in pain.
"I'm so happy to have you here today." Zhuang Yumeng touched the hairpin in his hair and smiled like the warm sun on an autumn afternoon, "What's more, you also gave me such a precious gift. Xiya, thank you."
"Yumeng, let's go, let's go out to eat!" Qiao Xiya only felt a pain in her throat and chest, "Third Master Qiao, set up the car."
Qiao Xiya couldn't help but say that she pulled Zhuang Yu into the carriage in a dream.
"Yumeng, Yumeng......" The champion family chased out, "What should we do......
"If you want to eat, run after the carriage, and if you don't want to eat, please do it yourself!" Qiao Xiya said coldly through the carriage curtain.
"Zhuang Yumeng! Is this how you treat your husband and in-laws?!" Looking at the carriage that was moving away, the champion tore off the disguised elegance and jumped three feet high.
"Phew!" The carriage stopped.
