10 Chapter 10
Chapter X
Wen Shuse probably understood Mrs. Xie's hard work, why she wanted to replace the groom with Xie San regardless of her reputation, hoping that the good name of the eldest lady could save this loser.
It's a pity that I was messed up by myself......
Wen Shuse rarely felt a trace of guilt, but there were doubts in his heart. Everyone in Fengcheng knows that Xie Shao has an only son in the second room of the Xie family, no brothers and no sisters, and the girl who came here today must also be the lady of the big house, how can she still come to him Xie Shao to use it?
Uncle Xie is the deputy commander of Zhonghe, and he was pulled up by King Jing, so it stands to reason that he is not short of money.
Doubts are doubts, the money is not hers, it is not her turn to worry, and then bury her head in picking longan meat from a handful of broken slag.
The girl got what she wanted, and followed behind Mama Fang with "da-da", seeing that she could get a thousand taels of silver tickets, not to mention how happy she was, who knew that before she walked out, she suddenly called out behind her, "Slow." ”
The girl turned around, her expression was inevitably a little flustered, "Is there anything else with the third brother?" ”
Wen Shuse was also quite surprised, thinking that he had finally discovered that something was wrong, which was really gratifying.
Xie Shao drank a lot of wine today, and his mind was pulled from time to time, and he couldn't concentrate, so he couldn't hold back the drowsiness in his head, "You come here." ”
The girl didn't know why, she fell back nervously, walked to his side, and before she could ask, Xie Shao raised her hand at Wen Shuse on the other side and called the girl, "Your third sister-in-law, see you." ”
The girl's face was stunned.
After the news came out today, everyone in the house knew that it was the second lady of the Wen family who came in, how could such a person who entered the door with crooked thoughts be worthy of being her third sister-in-law.
The girl was stubborn and turned her head silently.
Xie Shao saw that she didn't move, and the drunken headache made him impatient, stared at the girl, and urged, "Respect." ”
The girl squirmed for a while, Xu is self-esteem still couldn't resist the charm of the one thousand taels of silver tickets, and hung her head and reluctantly called, "Third sister-in-law." ”
With the terrible beginning of the two of them, to have the scene of harmony now is really burning high incense, and the Bodhisattva has appeared.
Mama Fang on the side took two steps forward and explained with a smile, "This is the eldest lady of the Xie family, the third grandmother only came in yesterday, and she hasn't seen it yet." ”
As a result, Wen Shuse really didn't expect it, looked at Xie Shao who was sitting there, and then looked at the girl with her head down, how to respond.
Since people call her the third sister-in-law, it stands to reason that she should give a meeting gift and seal some money, but she spends money lavishly, and she uses as much as she wants, and she is really shy in her pocket.
And with Xie San's one thousand taels first, she has to take out more than ten or twenty taels, wouldn't it be even more ugly, it is better not to give it.
Horizontal and vertical are all minds, glanced at the remaining half of the longan on the table, and handed it to Mama Fang, "As soon as the eldest lady comes back, taste this longan, it's very sweet." ”
Mama Fang took it with a smile, "The slave will go and wrap it for the eldest lady." ”
Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was finally over, and her toes were about to turn out, but she was stopped by Xie Shao, "Don't thank you?" ”
This time, Mrs. Xie couldn't hold back, raised her head in shock, and her innocent big eyes were all protesting, what kind of gift was she.
Seeing Xie Shao staring at her for a long time, with a posture that she didn't give up without thanking her, she looked at this third brother on weekdays and was generous, it seemed that he could meet any request, but if he looked at people so seriously, it would always make people's hearts weak, and after all, he bit his lip and pinched his palm before saying that sentence against his heart, "Thank you third sister-in-law." ”
Wen Shuse smiled politely and waved his hand at her, "You don't have to see outside." ”
This time, no one stopped her anymore, and the eldest lady was flying like a fly, and soon disappeared.
There was only one newlywed couple left in the house.
Where did you say that? Xie Shao shook his head, he didn't catch up with his thoughts for a long time, just talk about it tomorrow, stand up with his legs, the drunken person, his limbs are not called by his brain, he took two steps, his toes hit the ankle of the table, and the whole person moved forward, his heart was not good, but fortunately, there was still someone in front.
But the man did not lend a helping hand as he had hoped, and his forehead hit the round stool firmly.
Xie Shao: .......
Her head was knocked out of her eyes, and her blood was surging even more, didn't she see it? Or she doesn't have long hands, so she doesn't know how to help!
Wen Shuse saw him bump into the round stool with his own eyes, "bang", extremely loud, it hurt to listen, not unmoved, raised his voice to help him call, "Fang Mama......"
"It's not dead, you don't need to call it."
Xie Shao climbed up on the round stool, his heart was full of anger, his eyebrows were jumping, he really poured eight lifetimes of mold, and he would meet her Wen Er.
This knock, his head was a lot clearer, and he finally remembered why he came, endured a headache, and explained to her, "It's one thing for me Xie Shaoxi to like you or not, but as the third grandmother of the Xie family, you will have the respect you deserve." ”
Wen Shuse stared at his swollen forehead, not daring to move.
So Xie Shao gave her a warning, "Don't cry in the future." "Don't cry here with him, don't let the ancestor know, the old ancestor has to have a good one, he and her are not finished.
After saying that, he turned his head and left, his arm slightly raised and lifted his wide sleeve.
The jet-black black hair that came out under the jade crown was scattered on the back, the pace was steady, the posture was like a pine, the head was upright, and the man's masculinity emanated like a beast, which was simply charming.
When the people left, Aunt Qing and Xiangyun came over, and when they saw Wen Shuse standing motionless, they called her, "Lady? ”
"Huh?" Wen Shuse turned around.
Yun Xiang leaned up with his head and looked bright, "Lady, slave maid look, the third son is not unsatisfactory outside, just because he supports the lady, he can be regarded as a good person." ”
She didn't know if she was a good person, but Wen Shuse's mind was full of his words, "Don't cry in the future." ”
She didn't read the pile of books that Ming Wanrou bought, and the most heartwarming thing was one of the clips, where the man trapped the little lady in his arms and told her domineeringly, "Don't cry." Ming Wanrou also laughed at her, she was also a lady, how could she still like such a barbarian man. But she felt that Ming Wanrou didn't understand, and the domineering charm that burst out of the sentence "Don't cry" captured the hearts of delicate girls.
After this time, Aunt Qing also had a change of opinion about this cheap aunt, "Why don't you discuss with him tomorrow about returning to the door, if the third prince is willing to go back to the Wen family with the lady, the old lady will naturally be at ease when she sees it." ”
Yes, we have to go back.
This question has been bothering Wen Shuse for a day, and it is indeed as Aunt Qing said, the uncle returned to the door with the bride, doesn't it mean that the two are very affectionate, and the rumors will be broken.
Tonight's Xie Shao is indeed different from what she knew before, he spits out the truth after drinking, and his character is also true or false, maybe this is his true character.
People can make good or bad conclusions about a person because of their first impressions, and they can also change their opinion overnight because of a sentence.
The red candles on the wedding night have been removed, the house has been replaced with oil lamps, and the joy has faded, but people are trapped in it forever.
Remembering that I let the autumn warbler out this morning, I haven't sent a letter back yet, and I don't know what happened to my grandmother, Wen Shuse nodded, "Come on, I'll try." ”
—
Asking for people has to have an attitude of asking for people, and the next morning, Wen Shuse went to the back kitchen with Aunt Qing and Xiangyun to make rice cakes together.
This rice cake is not an ordinary rice cake, it is the secret recipe that Wen Er Ye tried to get from the famous Bailou boss in Fengcheng after he did not hesitate to accompany the wine in the middle of the night.
finally made a cage, carried the food box with great interest, and when she arrived at the door of the west wing, Mama Fang said that the person had already left.
Waited for a day, the rice cake made a cage after cage, still did not see the shadow of the person, in the evening, Xiangyun came in from the outside, the voice of the person did not arrive, "Lady, lady, son is back......"
Wen Shuse was lying on the easy chair, and instantly came to his senses, got up and helped the step on his head, took the food box in Aunt Qing's hand, and hurriedly went out to stop people.
When I arrived at the hall, I soon saw two figures walking from the corridor opposite.
The sunset wears tiles, the birds are singing, Lang Jun in front of him is dressed in purple casual clothes, holding a bow and arrows, his body is free and easy, and there is no drunkenness last night, and Min Zhang, who is following him, is holding a few pheasants and hares in both hands.
It turned out to be hunting.
Wen Shuse straightened his waist and stood there dignifiedly, waiting for him to come, the figure gradually approached, Jun was still handsome, but a large bruise on his forehead was not obvious.
Xie Shao had already seen the figure in the hall, and because of the excessive attention he received when he went out today, he had to temporarily pull his bow and get on the horse, and find a defensible reason for the injury on his forehead.
I didn't want to deal with her, but her eyes were too straightforward, and she kept looking at her forehead before giving a look.
The afterglow of the setting sun was inlaid with a layer of gold on her body, and her face was smiling like a flower, and there was a bit of fake guilt in her eyes.
He is not a bodhisattva, and he does not have the heart of a bodhisattva.
He glanced at her, and walked past her without saying a word, Wen Shuse quickly turned around to catch up, and apologized first, "I promise, if Lang Jun falls down next time, I will definitely help you." ”
Xie Shao's face turned blue, and he let out a faint smile, "I'm afraid that lady's wish is going to be disappointed, I won't give you a second chance." ”
It doesn't matter if you give it or not, just go back to the door with her.
Seeing that she was still following her, Xie Shao's footsteps stopped in front of the threshold, "Something?" ”
Wen Shuse curled his lips and showed a smile, and handed him the food box in his hand, "The rice cake I made, Lang Jun tasted a piece?" ”
"Don't taste it."
"Lang ......"
Xie Shao pushed open the door of the West Wing, "The husband and wife in front of the people, and the husband and wife in front of the people, and the people in the back have nothing to do with each other, didn't you forget the three chapters of the covenant last night." He stepped in and turned to close the door, simply and bluntly refusing her approach, "Don't get close to me, I don't eat your set." ”
A night's goodwill, and there is no scum left in an instant.
Nothing that didn't go back to the door, all left behind, Wen Shuse turned around, and got down the tread angrily with the food box.
Seeing that the people were gone, Xie Shao turned around and looked out, and happened to hear a voice, "Take it and feed the dog." ”
—
Since then, the two have never touched each other again, Xie Shao came back every day, and the row of mullioned doors in the main house were closed without a single crack, and they were truly irrelevant.
Old Madam Xie's body is still not good, Xie Shao will go to visit every day, and when she came out today, she was about to go out, but she was stopped by Uncle An, "Childe, there is something wrong with the account room." ”
After the second master and the second lady went to Yangzhou, they dumped the account room to the son, and it was only half a month, far exceeding the expenditure of January last month.
Xie Shao didn't care at all, "Dial the money." ”
Uncle An lamented, "No amount of silver can fill the greedy heart, the accounts are not clear, the distribution is unfair, sooner or later something will happen, the slave can hear, in the past half a month, the second son of the big house, the eldest lady, went to the account room without authorization in the name of the son, and withdrew several times of silver......"
"How much?"
"Two thousand taels are missing from the account."
Xie Shao remembered that several people had come to him to ask for money, but he couldn't remember how much he should have undertaken, two thousand taels, which was not much, "Okay, I know......"
"Childe ......" Uncle An looked at the figure that disappeared at the door, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet, if he went on like this, it would be strange that the old lady's illness could be cured.
I don't know if the wine field dispersed early that day, or if I was tired of listening to the opera, Xie Shao rarely returned to the courtyard when the sun was empty.
As soon as I stepped up to the corridor, I saw a table set up under the pear tree in the hall opposite, and several people were sitting in the shade of the tree drinking tea.
After not seeing her for a few days, the girl was still talking and laughing, curious where she had met someone, and when she arrived, she recognized it as Aunt Gu in the eldest uncle's house.
"Slave to the son, please be safe." When Aunt Gu saw him coming back, she hurriedly got up and saluted, explaining, "A few days ago, my cousins came to the house to look for relatives, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep, but fortunately, the third grandmother helped me and gave five hundred taels of silver, so that the mother and daughter would not be left on the street......
