Chapter 140: The Visitation (1)
A few days later, Xiahou Shuang heard Wang Chong say that Chen Rui sneaked out of the house and took his clothes to the pawnshop, and was surprised, but he didn't expect Chen Rui to be so short of silver.
Chen Rui lives in the mansion on weekdays, and every month with the fourth son, he has two taels of silver per month, but since the old lady lifted the ban, Chen Rui can come and go freely, and then he and his former group of fellow villagers boast about the wine every day, and now he has become the fast son-in-law of the Hou Mansion.
The title of the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion is still very attractive to this group of people who came to catch the exam, and everyone rushed up to stammer.
"Chen Gongzi is really capable, he was actually looked down upon by the young lady of the dignified Hou Mansion, and this next step has reached the sky. ”
"In the future, Chen Gongzi will become the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion, but he will have to bring a brother. ”
In the compliments of this group of people, Chen Rui was fluttering all day long, feasting everyone every once in a while, and he also paid out of his own pocket every time, and the little silver he saved quickly bottomed out.
After the list was released, as soon as he saw that there was no name on the list, the fellow villagers who used to work together couldn't help but laugh at him every time they saw it.
"When will you take your aunt to Jingzhong?"
"When will I be able to drink the wedding wine of Chen Gongzi and Third Miss?"
Chen Rui couldn't raise his head in shame, and now the Hou Mansion's attitude towards himself is still the same as usual, but Chen Rui is eager to quickly pick up his mother, and his mother came forward to propose the marriage of the third lady, so that the Hou Mansion has no room for remorse.
The money in his hand was still not enough, so he had to quietly take the clothes on his body, hoping to make up enough for his mother and younger siblings to go to Beijing.
Although Xiahou Shuang didn't know what Chen Rui was thinking, after listening to Wang Chong's words, he directly signaled Wang Chong to go to Chunya to get two hundred taels of silver and quietly send it to Chen Rui.
Wang Chong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the lady's gourd, so he didn't ask much, and quietly did so.
Chen Rui, who had been running outside for a day, just wanted to lie down and rest in the courtyard, and felt that there was a foreign object in the quilt, so he opened it and saw that there were several ingots of silver neatly stacked in a package, which were hundreds of taels.
Carefully wrap the package, and secretly figure out who sent the charcoal in the snow, and the silver sent is just enough to solve his urgent needs, who is it?
Chen Rui couldn't think about it, could it be Miss Three, thinking of this, Chen Rui shook his head, Miss San's arrogance and cunning not to put herself in her eyes could not be the third Miss did this, so who is it, Chen Rui, who has been thinking about it for a long time, has not figured out who it is.
Xiahou Mansion has never befriended anyone, the people in the mansion are not looking down on themselves, looking forward to their ability to leave quickly, the rest are indifferent to watch the excitement, and suddenly thought that it would not be the old lady, thinking of this, only the old lady is in favor of her marriage with the third lady, maybe the old lady saw that she was shy in her pocket, and specially sent silver to solve her urgent need.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui couldn't wait to get up now to kowtow to the old lady a few times, when he thought that with these silver, the old mother in the family could come smoothly to propose, a burst of excitement, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and finally stayed up until dawn, Chen Rui, who turned over, rushed out directly to find a dart game, paid the fixed money, and said that he would make up his mind after picking up the people, and began to quietly look for a house everywhere, ready to settle a few people in the family.
Xiahou Shuang heard Wang Chong's report, Chen Rui was looking for a house and a dart game, and then he thought that Chen Rui must have planned to bring his old mother and family to the capital, and when he thought of his mother-in-law who was full of mean face in his previous life, Xiahou Shuang couldn't hold back a burst of hatred in his heart.
Chen's mother lost her husband at an early age, and began to be widowed at a young age, after marrying Chen Rui, she put the score of her elders every day, changed the law and instructed herself every day, in order to please Chen Rui and her mother-in-law, she made soup for her every day, and the dignified Hou Mansion daughter worked hard all day and her hands became extremely rough, so groveling did not return a little pity to Chen's mother, and secretly still disgusted that she did not give birth to a boy and half a girl for the Chen family, and climbed to the top of her head one by one to bully herself.
There is also the sister-in-law who eats people and does not spit out bones and is extremely greedy, taking her own dowry in disguise, and later she used her own dowry as her dowry in order for her sister-in-law to marry beautifully, but unfortunately it did not fill the greedy heart of the sister-in-law in the end, and the uncle with a gloomy face at a young age, a family that eats people and does not spit out bones!
If this family arrives, the Lin family will have a good show to watch.
Xiahou Shuang's heart ignited a raging fire, burning his chest, let the daughter of the Lin family repay the suffering of the past life in this life, let you also slowly taste the various states of this world, the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the sinister nature of people's hearts!
Thinking of this, Xiahou Shuang said to Wang Chong: "Continue to stare closely, if there is any abnormal movement, there is something to report." ”
On this day, Xiahou Shuang sent a message to Zhang's mansion and wanted to visit Brother Zhang.
Zhang Yanyu was in a dilemma after receiving the post, her brother's injury is much better now, but this time she was injured because of Sister Shuang, and her mother has said a lot of complaints in front of them in the past few days.
I wanted to refuse Sister Shuang, but I couldn't bear it in my heart, knowing that it was not her fault, how could I blame her, Zhang Yanyu took the greeting post to Zhang Yanchong's room, Zhang Yanchong's eyes lit up after hearing it, and said again and again: "You go back to the post quickly, let Sister Shuang come." ”
When Zhang Yanyu saw her brother's happy expression, she couldn't care about her mother and replied directly, and Xiahou Shuang arrived at Zhang's mansion that afternoon.
Zhang Yanyu took her straight to Zhang Yanchong's room, only to see Zhang Yanchong lying on the bed and couldn't get up, but with a smile on his face, how could he look sick, and when he saw Xiahou Shuang, he said happily: "Sister Shuang, is she better?"
Zhang Yanyu pursed her lips secretly when she saw her brother's appearance, looking at this look, she forgot what kind of pain Sister Shuang really felt when she saw it.
Xiahou Shuang said with a smile: "I will be much better, although it was dangerous that day, but there were not too many injuries on his body, it just looked scary, after going back, my grandmother invited the imperial doctor in the palace to come to diagnose and treat, and after applying the medicine for so long, there is no big problem." ”
"But Brother Zhang, you were so seriously injured for me that day, I have been reluctant to go in my heart, and I didn't come to visit until today, I hope Brother Zhang will forgive me. ”
After Xiahou Shuang finished speaking, Zhang Yanchong smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't think about it so much that day, but when I saw that the beam was about to fall, I just thought that I must not fall on Sister Shuang, although the injury is serious, fortunately, my body is strong and recovers quickly, but now it is actually fine, but my mother has not let me get out of bed." ”
"What my aunt said is that your wound looks really dangerous, and you should stay in bed and rest more. ”
