Chapter 66: I can't bear the wolf
Xia Yingying touched the pepper and said, "I want two pots." ”
Cui's mother smiled: "If you want it, take it back!" This thing is growing fast, you can help me check the pulse again! ”
Cui's mother's eyes were full of anxiety, she was old, if she couldn't have another child in the past two years, it would be even more difficult in the future.
Xia Yingying slowly took the pulse, and Xiaoyin said:
"I have to continue to recuperate, this process is relatively slow, mainly because she used to use tiger and wolf medicine.
If it hurts her body very much, you can prick her with a needle again to pass through the meridians. ”
Xia Yingying nodded and motioned for Cui's mother to lie down, and Cui's mother lay directly on the bed and said, "Your lo-mei is really good, it's good to serve wine to guests, I want to order some every day." ”
"Well, then I'll send a little bit every day." Xia Yingying said.
Cui's mother continued: "Recently, I received a letter from the housekeeper of the Xia family, both inside and outside the letter, blaming me for not doing anything with money. ”
Xia Yingying's hand paused: "This housekeeper is Xia Youyou's person, right?" ”
Cui's mother said "um" and said: "It's the daughter of that cheap woman, just as cheap as her, I thought about it and thought, why make them so good, I want revenge." ”
Xia Yingying said while getting a needle: "It's not easy to take revenge, now that he is a good product, we can't fight, we can only slowly figure it out." ”
Cui's mother nodded and said, "Xia Yingying, let's join forces, shall we?" ”
Xia Yingying chuckled and said: "It's your words, but if you want to take revenge, you have to endure it, you think about what Xia Jinyan likes the most, it may be better to start from this aspect." ”
Cui's mother snorted and chirped: "I know that man best, what I like is just a beauty, preferably a young and beautiful woman with a full belly of talent." ”
Xia Yingying thought for a long time and said: "Then how about we find a few Yangzhou thin horses, train them well, and then send them to Xia Mansion?" ”
Don't think that Yangzhou thin horses will only serve men, in fact, these thin horses are like the daughters in the boudoir from childhood to adulthood, and they have grown up with thousands of pets.
Some skinny horses don't lack anything more than the daughter, but the more powerful the skinny horse, the more expensive.
Mother Cui gritted her teeth and said, "What you said is easy, do you know how much a good skinny horse costs?" ”
"How much?"
"If you look a little better, you need three thousand taels, if you want to find the kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can even manage the housekeeper need tens of thousands of taels." Cui's mother sighed.
Even she couldn't pay so much, at most she could buy two ordinary ones.
Xia Yingying said: "I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf, think about it, I can't take out so much money now, but it's not easy to bring down Xia Jinyan." ”
Cui's mother stopped talking, and after a while, she said, "I have a sister who is in this business, so be it!" Tomorrow I'll ask her to send a few people over, and you can help me grow my eyes too. ”
Xia Yingying said "um", then she collected the needle and walked home with Xia Ying, Xia Xiong, Mu Kui and two pots of peppers.
After arriving home, Xia Yingying put the medicinal materials she received today into the store, and Xiaoyin Machinery reported: "There are 113 yuan left in the balance." ”
Xia Yingying directly bought all the sweet potatoes, and now the amount of sweet potato flour is particularly large.
As soon as he finished changing, he heard a hurried knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Xia Shusen, the eldest son of the Xia patriarch.
He said with an anxious look on his face: "Xia Ying, Xia Xiong, Xia Yingying, come back with me, there are many people from the Song family, saying that they want to bring Xia Yingying back, otherwise they will break your father's and mother's legs and send them to the county government." ”
Xia Ying said angrily: "This Song family is too shameless, Xia Yingying is not on my family's household registration now, and we don't sell my sister." ”
Xia Shusen sighed and said, "Okay, let's go back first and see how this matter is resolved, but I told you that this matter can't be good." ”
This Song family was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and now it has spent money to buy a staff member, although it is not a serious official, but it has an excellent relationship with the county government.
When I got home, I saw Zheng Jinhua and Xia Shugen kneeling on the ground, and as soon as I saw Xia Yingying, Zheng Jinhua rushed over directly and said, "Yingying! You're right, aren't you? If you don't, you're going to break my legs and your father's legs today!" ”
Xia Yingying smiled slightly: "Really? What does that have to do with me! ”
"You...... No matter how you are, I was conceived in October! Yingying, save us! Zheng Jinhua cried heartbreakingly.
The neighbors said, "Hey! No one knew that such a thing would happen, and your mother was also for this family! Besides, they also gave a dowry of two hundred taels. ”
"What? Two hundred taels? If the Song family can take a fancy to our little girl, I will send her there now. ”
Tang Jufang, the eldest aunt next to her, suddenly jumped up and said, "Two hundred taels? Mrs. Song, what do you think of our family's summer rainy day? is honest and quiet, much better than this Xia Yingying. ”
Mrs. Song shook off her hand and said, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands, you are also worthy of this?" ”
Xia Yutian is only 8 years old this year, thin and small, like a monkey, where did Mrs. Song take a fancy to her.
At this time, she hid quietly in the corner, silent.
Xia Yingying looked at Mrs. Song and said, "Listen, what kind of daughter-in-law do you have these two hundred taels of silver to marry?" You have to marry someone like me, reluctantly. ”
Mrs. Song suddenly laughed and said:
"I just like the energy in you, exactly the same as when I was young, and I'm not afraid of you being disobedient.
Look, do you still care about the people of the Xia family?
If you marry well, I can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and even your younger brothers, I can provide for them to go to school. ”
Mrs. Song said softly, she also asked clearly, these children of the Xia family are very smart, and even the gentlemen of the academy praised these children again and again.
Mrs. Song is very shrewd, coercive and tempting.
Xia Yingying smiled and said, "Mrs. Song, how about we go into the house and have a good talk?" ”
Mrs. Song was full of satisfaction with Xia Yingying, as long as Xia Yingying entered the Song family, the Song family would definitely take good care of her, and when the time came, she would also feel the sincerity of the Song family.
But as soon as she entered the house, she was held against a dagger by her neck.
Mrs. Song hurriedly said, "You ...... What do you mean? ”
Xia Yingying smiled and said:
"It's not interesting, I just wanted to tell you that I'm not as simple as you see.
You want me to be the daughter-in-law of the Song family, in fact, you take a fancy to me, gentle and virtuous, but I have never been like what you see.
If anyone dares to threaten me and force me, then I will fight to the death. ”
Mrs. Song swallowed her saliva and said, "You...... You don't dare, you have a father and a brother, ......"
"Mrs. Song should know that I grew up in the capital, and I couldn't get along with my parents and brothers here for a few months.
You guess if they marry me to a fool, I'll be grateful to Dade and care about their life or death? Dream! Xia Yingying analyzed slowly.
