Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 17 Call the shots
Qingdai tactfully stopped talking. She knew the lady's temperament very well. She looked gentle and harmless, but she exuded a sense of alienation.
As they were talking here, the noise next door was getting louder and louder, which made everyone lose their appetite. Xie Xian asked them to pack up the food and eat it on the way.
They just walked to the stairs, but the quarrel was in full swing here. "Xie Miaomiao, don't think I can't divorce you just because you are a member of the Xie family." A man shouted loudly, and the onlookers' faces changed slightly but looked excited. Oh! This is quite exciting.
"Cai Qie, you ungrateful bastard, if it weren't for my dowry, you would have had the money to eat and drink, and now you're supporting your sister outside. Woohoo~~ I'm so miserable, I was so blind to fall for someone like you." The woman was dressed cleanly, with only a silver hairpin on her head. Her face was miserable, and although she was less than 20 years old, her skin looked yellow and dark.
Her husband looked like that, but he had put powder on his face and sweated a lot during the quarrel, and now there were streaks of powder on his face, which looked a bit funny.
"Xie Miaomiao, why don't you look in the mirror? Look at your yellow-faced appearance. Just go back and fix the house. You don't need to care about what I do outside." Cai Qie looked disdainful. It seemed that if he looked at her one more time, his eyes would be dirty. Oh, this is a wife who has lived with me through thick and thin, so he can just abandon her.
Seeing everyone's faces change slightly, Cai Qi knew that what he said was not kind, and he paused and said, "At worst, I will welcome Zhu'er into the family and let you continue to be my wife." He cursed harshly, after all, this was the Xie family's territory. If someone really dared to divorce his wife without reason as he said, and the Xie family was really angry, he would not dare to do so.
But if it was just to take a concubine, no one could say anything. Besides, he had already inquired about it. The second branch of the Xie family was in decline, and the eldest son had been away from home for many years. It was likely that no one would care about this matter.
"Cai Qie, you are such a heartless person. I will report you to the Zong family." Xie Minmin cursed fiercely, but her face was miserable. If anyone cared about her, she would have gone to the Zong family long ago. Unless she put aside her face and begged her parents to ask them to beg the uncles of the eldest house. How could she have the face to do that? It was all her own fault. She made her parents lose face in the village.
Cai Qie was drunk and said, "You bitch, go ahead. Your second branch only has a young girl as director. She can't even protect herself, how can she care about you?" He cursed more and more vigorously. "If the second branch wasn't at the end of its power, you would have married me. If I say that a fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken, you should just behave yourself."
The shopkeeper next to him couldn't stand it anymore and muttered, "Mr. Cai, don't say too much. After all, he is a member of the Xie family." After saying that, he looked around.
Everyone said "Huh~", as if to say "You are such a cunning old fox." Seeing the shopkeeper busy trying to distance himself from the matter and saying soothing words that actually added fuel to the fire, everyone looked down on him.
"You bastard, how dare you make fun of my family? I will fight with you." The woman's back, which had been bent, suddenly straightened up, and she grabbed Cai Qi's face in anger.
"Wow!" A fight broke out. Everyone stretched their necks and the villagers also leaned on the railings to look forward.
Cai Qi was stunned for a moment, then touched his face, which was burning. He felt the pain from everyone's gaze. When quarreling in the village, it was most taboo to bring clan members with you. The clan was inviolable to everyone, as they were family, arms and support.
Cai Qi was furious and slapped Xie Miao to the ground. "You crazy woman, I can't kill you~" Seeing that he was about to attack, everyone hurriedly stopped him. It was a joke that the man hit the woman with great force. Although the woman attacked first, it would be fine if he let her continue.
"Wuwu~~~" Xie Miaomiao collapsed on the ground and cried, her white clothes were covered with dust and wrinkles, and she looked disheveled. Qingdai stepped forward and said, "It is not customary to hit women in the Xie family." She stood in front of Xie Miaomiao and said angrily, "Is there no one to control your family?"
It stands to reason that when the daughters of the Xie family get married, they all have a very good background. In the past, even those from the side branches with good conditions could marry minor officials or businessmen. But I didn't expect that the side branch of the second house would be reduced to marrying such a bastard, who was disrespectful to the daughter of the Xie family and even humiliated her in such a way.
Looking at the familiar blue short coat, Xie Miao was stunned. She was too familiar with Qingdai's clothes. Although she didn't wear a special skirt, the blue coat had cloud patterns and was a Xie family crotch coat.
{The outer courtyard of the Xie family is called the big dang, and the big dang is responsible for sundries. The servants are divided into gray, blue, purple, and black. Only the master can wear white. The patterns of the dang clothes are also classified. The patterns of the three rooms are different. The big room has plant patterns such as pine, bamboo, plum, orchid, and chrysanthemum, the second room has animal patterns such as tiger, leopard, deer, and crane, and the third room has utensils such as treasure bottle, basin, and ruyi. Qingdai is the small dang, wearing blue clothes and decorated with clouds}
Seeing that Xie Miaomiao didn't say anything, Cai Qie seemed to have gained the upper hand: "Who did this little girl come from, meddling in other people's business?" He looked her up and down, and felt that the girl looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
Before he could think about it, the shopkeeper said hurriedly, "Mr. Cai, according to the rules of the Xie family, it would be disastrous if a married woman was injured."
He is well-informed. He sees Qingdai's clothes and the majestic female warrior with a sword standing behind her. Oh, it's hard to persuade this damn ghost with good words. There's nothing he can do about it.
Xie Xian leaned against the door, watching with great interest, without any awareness of being a party to the incident.
Tu Zhen glanced at the expression on Xie Xian's face. She couldn't help but say, "Madam~" Just don't do anything about it?
She was half a head taller than Xie Xian, and at this moment only the corners of her smiling mouth could be seen under the shadow of her hat. Xie Xian said slowly: "Xie family has such a rule for marrying daughters outside the family?" Her tone rose, and it was hard to tell whether it was sarcasm or emotion.
The waiter smiled pleasantly and said, "Madam, you have just arrived in Que County, right? The Xie family does have its own rules for marrying out daughters." Whenever relatives fight each other, they will not be punished without in-person complaint. As long as they are not in court, relatives will not be judged guilty, but the Xie clan has a certain degree of protection for marrying out daughters. If a husband beats his wife, and the couple wish to divorce, they will be sentenced to divorce. Now it depends on whether Xie Miaomiao wants to continue living together or divorce. This kind of thing is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs in modern times, let alone in ancient times when the law is incomplete.
But Xie Miaomiao was lucky because she was the daughter of the Xie family, and no matter how poor she was, she was protected by the main family. But unfortunately, the second branch was weak, so how much she could benefit from this was another matter.
Xie Xian was amazed at the influence of the Xie family. It didn't seem that way. For her own future, she still had to study it.
The atmosphere on the second floor was deadlocked for a while. People in the lobby were whispering. Xie Miaomiao was in a daze. Several classmates behind Cai Qie took him aside and tried to persuade him, but Cai Qie was angry and would not listen to such discouraging words.
"Cai Dalang, don't be so stubborn. See that girl in green clothes? She is a servant of the Xie family. Be careful that you may end up in a mess." Cai Qie is not a good person, but he still has some friends who care about him.
Cai Qie was not convinced, "So what? He is just a servant. How can he take care of my business?" When he married his wife from the Xie family, he had seen servants in blue clothes before, but they were all in the outer courtyard and had no status. He was not in vain. He glanced around and saw only Tu Zhen, a somewhat eye-catching female warrior, but no decent master. Xie Xian, who was sitting awkwardly, was happily chatting with the waiter.
Xie Miaomiao lying on the ground was overwhelmed with grief after hearing this. Yes, the little girl was just a servant in green clothes and had no right to take care of this matter. She might even be implicated.
Xie Miaomiao slowly stood up, she was tired. "Cai Qie~ You want that girl to marry you, forget it." In this era, everyone advocated monogamy and multiple concubines. If the husband wanted to take a concubine, he needed the wife's consent. If she didn't agree, it depended on fate.
Cai Qi looked at Xie Miao, who didn't give him any face at all, with a ferocious expression. This woman is always like this, never gentle and considerate, always high and mighty. If not, if not... he would trample her into the mud.
Xie Miaomiao straightened her back: "Since I, Xie Miao, entered your Cai family, I have never slacked off in taking care of my mother and raising my young son. All your studies abroad were taken care of by me. Now you have abandoned me like a piece of chaff, and you want me to endure it. How can I bear it?" She, Xie Miao, was not an ignorant village woman. She had her own reasons and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Everyone saw this and admired her. 'Even if she is a daughter of a big family, she has some reason. A mere girl is indeed not inferior to others.'
Cai Qi was furious. He was not in the right first, and if he provoked this yellow-faced woman to the point of being at a loss as to what to do, it would also let everyone see his difficulties. But for some reason, Xie Miao suddenly straightened up and spoke quite coherently.
He glared at Xie Miao viciously and shouted: "Xie, don't be so arrogant. You rely on the Xie family's status to humiliate common people like us." Qingdai rolled her eyes.
Cai Qie's tactics were very skillful. Seeing that everyone was blocked by his words, he had the upper hand and became more and more outspoken: "If it weren't for the Xie family, I would have married a stupid woman like you." He was forced to do so.
Xie Miaomiao looked at him in disbelief. She felt her head buzzing and the world spinning. Which one was he, the sweet words Cai Qi said to her or the ferocious man in front of her? She heard that Cai Qi had a mistress outside, so she rushed here just to make him apologize to her. After all, she had nothing now.
Xie Miao's spirit was visibly declining. It turned out that she was just deceiving herself. She lowered her eyes and there were no tears on her face. She was at a loss, watching the window on the second floor move forward step by step. A flash of madness flashed across the rolling river below.
When everyone reacted, they saw Xie Miao had already put one foot on the window sill.
Everyone was shocked. "Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Xie, please don't let it get you down."
"Yes, you still have Xiao Li'er at home. How are you going to live without your mother?"
Coincidentally, the window that Xie Miao stepped over was right next to Xie Xian's tea table. The waiter was startled and wanted to reach out to pull it, but was restricted by the strict rules between men and women and could not move forward or backward.
Cai Qi, seeing Xie Miao trying to commit suicide, was impatient, but he also knew that if he really forced Xie Miao to death today, he would not be able to escape. He said hypocritically, "A Miao, come down quickly, we can talk. At worst, I can keep Zhu'er outside and not let you see her."
Everyone: Is this human language?
