Golden Pink Building

After Qingqiu left, Xiuzhu gradually cheered up. Bai Xiongqi and Xiuzhu had a good talk. The two brothers and sisters each spoke their minds. "You silly child, your brother has no children, and he treats you like his own daughter. How can you not talk when you are about to jump into the fire. If you like Yanxi, I will help you naturally. You don't like Yanxi anymore. , I will help you break up with him. You are my own sister, who will I help if I don’t help you?" Xiuzhu thought about the love and care her brother and sister-in-law have shown her over the years. Living under the protection of my brother doesn't know how to feel sad, but I still think that my brother cares about face more than myself.How can you not make your brother sad?

"Brother, I was wrong. I used to be too self-willed. You are the only one who treats me sincerely in this world." Xiuzhu's affection was all wrong, and her brother was worried and angry. Quick, she felt guilty and cried sadly.

"Silly boy, our Bai family has always been the most united. Not only me, but also your sister-in-law, uncle and aunt, Shaoyi and Qingqiu have all helped you. By the way, you should thank Shaoyi and his wife when you are healthy. I can see people right, your sister-in-law Qingqiu is a trustworthy person. As long as you treat her sincerely, she will naturally treat you sincerely. You should spend more time with them in the future." Bai Xiongqi had a unique vision and thought Tang Brother and wife are relatives who can entrust each other.Xiuzhu wiped her tears, nodded with sobs: "Brother is right, I must thank sister-in-law Qingqiu."

In fact, Bai Xiongqi doesn't need to say, Xiuzhu also likes to talk with Qingqiu.Just after the Laba Festival, the New Year’s atmosphere on the streets of the capital gradually became stronger, and the gray streets were filled with bright colors. The narcissus flowers brought from the south and the wintersweet flowers that sprouted in the greenhouse brought a little bit of joy to the desolate capital city. vitality.There are more statues selling honey for the Stove Lord and stalls of various silk flowers. The peanuts, melon seeds, apples and oranges needed for the New Year are also coming out. The street is noisy and the vendors are shouting hard.

Qingqiu sat on the sofa under the window, put his feet on the footstool and read a book comfortably. "Qingqiu, look at this." A clay doll appeared in front of her, and Xiuzhu sat on the footstool with a smile on her face: "I went to the temple fair in Pantao Palace, and I saw quite a few people holding clay dolls there, and they followed suit. Bring one for you to play with." The enshrined in the Peach Palace is said to be the Empress Dowager, and those little daughter-in-laws who beg for a child will touch a clay doll on the table. If it is a golden boy, it indicates that a boy will be born. If it is a jade girl Just a girl.Xiuzhu was able to go to the temple to ask for a little doll for herself, Qingqiu was very touched.

"It's really cute. It's just that you are a girl who went to get the doll, and people saw it and didn't know what to make up. I appreciate your heart. Seeing that your complexion is much better, it is time to go out for a walk, but there are many people in the temple fair. What should you do if you are squeezed? It's cold outside, and it's not good to be frozen. Come here and warm yourself up." Qingqiu pulled Xiuzhu to sit on a sofa, and looked at the doll that Xiuzhu gave her.

"I especially chose a boy. I think you must have a boy." Xiuzhu's eyes dimmed. She is particularly concerned about the gender of the child in Qingqiu's womb.A family like them can afford to raise more children, not to mention that Xiuzhu thinks that Qingqiu and cousin Shaoyi are really talented and beautiful, and it must be beautiful to have a daughter.But what happened to the two young mistresses of the Jin family made Xiuzhu understand at once that the mother-in-law actually liked boys in her heart.What if a person like Qingqiu gave birth to a daughter and was rejected by his aunt?

Qingqiu was keenly aware of the complex emotions hidden in Xiuzhu's eyes, she held Xiuzhu's hand: "You are more than a person who worries, your daughter is always a day, so it is not forced by human beings. I am not particularly worried, You worry about me first. If you get married and have children in the future, it’s understandable to be worried. It’s a joke for you to worry about this. Let me tell you that the husband is sincere and his parents-in-law are good-natured people. , will never put patriarchy on the surface. Boys are precious, girls are not their daughters and granddaughters, and contemptuous girls will especially spoil boys. This is the family tradition, and the children raised, regardless of gender It’s all good. People like that don’t matter.”

Xiuzhu silently listened to Qingqiu's words, carefully recalling the attitude and conversation of her aunt's family since Qingqiu's pregnancy, she really didn't see any sign of patriarchy or not treating her daughter-in-law as a person.In comparison, when the two young grandmothers of the Jin family were pregnant, Mrs. Jin Quan did not specifically say that she hoped to have grandchildren, but her daily words and deeds believed that the two children were grandchildren.Mrs. Jin's care of the two daughters-in-law also looks very thoughtful, but it feels that the Jin family is not taking care of the two young mistresses but the children in their womb.Unlike Madam Bai, she cares more about Qingqiu's body.

Seeing Xiuzhu's face darken, Qingqiu knew that she was thinking about Yanxi and the Jin family again, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "It's the Chinese New Year, and your new clothes are ready. It's easy for me to look like this. Yesterday, my mother Send me a piece of material, I will wear it for a day after I make it, why don’t I give it to you.”

As she was speaking, there was a burst of voices outside, but Xiuzhu listened to Yanxi's voice.How did Yanxi get here?Xiuzhu said with an unhappy face: "I don't want to see him, but he rushed to post it. I was so wrong before." In the past, Xiuzhu and her tail seemed to stick to Yanxi, but to the strange woman who appeared beside Yanxi The wind is jittery.Unexpectedly, Yanxi is still indifferent to Xiuzhu, and often stays with other women.The two of them were quarreling, and finally reconciled, Yanxi seemed to be humble, but in fact, Xiuzhu made a lot more concessions secretly than Yanxi.Now Xiuzhu is indifferent to Yanxi, what he likes to do, where he goes, and whoever he meets Xiuzhu doesn't care.But Yanxi started to stick to the embroidered beads.

"What's the matter, you can only toss and turn if you can't ask for it. You should go out to socialize. In such a cold day, people rush over here, so it's not humane." Qingqiu didn't have any special dislike for Yanxi, and there was nothing special about it. Like, the young masters of the Jin family, in Qingqiu's view, are all the same in essence, they're just playboys.Although Xiuzhu regrets her engagement to Yanxi.But the Bai family will never gain the reputation of regretting the marriage.Xiuzhu can't turn against Yanxi yet.

In fact, Yanxi didn't come here specially to embroider beads. After getting engaged, Yanxi was a little confused.Xiuzhu was very attached to me for a while, but recently, Xiuzhu has been far away from me.Could it be that Tang Lide is still entwined with embroidered beads?Alarm bells were ringing in Yanxi's heart, and she became nervous.Xiuzhu is engaged to him, and she is basically the young mistress of the Jin family. It's amazing that his wife wants Hongxing to have an affair!So Yanxi became nervous and secretly inquired about the movement of Xiuzhu.It's a pity that Xiuzhu didn't see Tang Lide, nor did he see any other men.She was either at home or hanging out with some girlfriends.Yanxi felt relieved, Xiuzhu always liked to go shopping and spend money.She has been ill for several days, what's the point of going out to relax.Anyway, the money for Xiuzhuhua was not taken out of Yanxi's pocket.Speaking of which, at the end of the year, Yanxi's life will definitely not be as comfortable as that of Xiuzhu.

The seventh master of the Jin family was in a huge deficit at the end of the year.Bills and snow flakes from flower shops, jewelry stores, restaurants, theaters, teahouses, and silk and satin items flew into Yanxi's hands, but his pockets were as clean as the floor of the Jin family hall, spotless and able to see shadow.

This can't work, Yanxi began to think of a way, she couldn't tell Mrs. Jin, if her mother found out, it would be another lecture, and her father might reprimand her if she didn't.Then play the autumn wind with the brothers?The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother concurrently held several fat jobs, and they were much better than themselves.Unexpectedly, after a round, the three of them are poorer than themselves!Seeing that her family members were helpless, Yanxi suddenly remembered that her aunt's family was rich.Not to mention aunt and uncle, but Shao Yi, who has a good salary, as well as manuscript fees and part-time jobs, should be able to help himself.

Waiting for Xiuzhu to go out, Osmanthus smiled and said: "Miss Xiuzhu, Master Yanxi is talking to our young master in the study." Xiuzhu nodded, thinking that it seemed that Yanxi was not looking for her.But Shaoyi and Yanxi have never been able to play together, what is he doing here?Just as he was thinking, he saw Yanxi coming out, he was a little surprised when he saw Xiuzhu: "Why are you here?" "I came to see Sister Qingqiu, why are you here?" A piece of paper stuffed into the pocket.

Shao Yi smiled and nodded: "Xiuzhu is here, I'll go up to see Qingqiu if you talk." As he said that, he went upstairs to leave space for them.

Seeing Xiuzhu staring at his pocket, Yanxi sat helplessly on the sofa: "It's nothing, you know everyone is busy making money at the end of the year. I'm here to adjust positions with my cousin."

"What, you asked my cousin to borrow money? How much did you lose in a year? You are a real person. You don't know how to calculate, and you don't know how to make a living. You borrow money everywhere at the end of the year. Can you really treat your cousin? She opened her mouth, Qingqiu's sister-in-law is about to give birth, and you can't ask for money from anyone you ask for. They are going to need the money right now!" Although Xiuzhu is pampered.But it doesn't mean that she is a fairy who doesn't recognize fireworks in the world.With Bai Xiongqi's teaching, Xiuzhu understands the relationship between money and power very well.I also know that money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible!

"You are really strange. Brother Shaoyi didn't say anything. Instead, he wrote me a check. Qingqiu is going to give birth, and he will never use his cousin's money. Besides, he said that his aunt's house There is no shortage of Brother Shaoyi’s little money. Okay, stop arguing, I know I haven’t been with you often these days. Don’t be angry, wait for me to settle the bills, and stay with you well .My cousin is very kind, he gave me 3000 yuan at once, besides repaying the debt, there is still some leftover." Yanxi triumphantly took out the check and showed it to Xiuzhu.

Xiuzhu angrily snatched the check from Yanxi's hand, her face flushed with anger, "You've only got so much money for the rest of your life, so how can you repay the money you borrowed easily? You still have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west? You don't even have money?" I can't support myself, I'm really blind, how can I fall in love with you!" Yanxi wants to be loyal or not, or capable or not, the more Xiuzhu thinks about it, the more she feels that she is really blind, how can she fall in love with Yanxi? marry!When Xiuzhu got angry, she tore the check in her hands to pieces.

This really poked a hornet's nest, Yanxi's face flushed immediately, she stared and quarreled with Xiuzhu.Shao Yi and Qing Qiu above heard something wrong with the voice below, so they hurried over to check.Yanxi was yelling at Xiuzhu, her eyes were wide open, and the veins on her forehead stood up.Shao Yi hurriedly pulled Yanxi away, and Qing Qiu pulled Xiu Zhu's hand: "You guys are such children, you'll start arguing soon."

Xiuzhu's stubborn expression couldn't be maintained any longer, she lay on Qingqiu's body and began to cry, Yanxi over there looked like a lunatic, baring her teeth and screaming: "Your mind is full of money and power, you really deserve to be Bai Xiongqi My younger sister. I am neither motivated nor will I not be worthy of you! You can live your life with money."

As she said that, Yanxi kicked over the coffee table viciously, shook off Bai Shaoyi's hand and walked away with a grunt.Xiuzhu burst into tears: "Brother and sister-in-law, you all heard that Yanxi and I are completely finished!"

Qingqiu's complexion changed, he supported his stomach, and slowly persuaded Xiuzhu: "Don't be sad, Xiuzhu, sit down first." It was still Bai Shaoyi who saw that something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to help Qingqiu: "Qingqiu, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?" become ugly?"

"I'm fine, it's just that my waist is sore all of a sudden, and my stomach feels like it's slowly sinking." As soon as Qingqiu's words came out, Xiuzhu didn't bother to cry, and the whole Bai family was like soldiers waiting in the trenches for the charge , and ordered everyone to move out.The housekeeper immediately called Bai Wenxin and Mrs. Bai outside. Bai Shaoyi carried Qingqiu to the hospital, and Xiuzhu wanted to follow with a nervous face.Zhang Ma said helplessly: "Miss Xiuzhu, you still go home, such a place is not something your girl can go to."

"Mother Zhang, please, I must go to the hospital to see sister-in-law Qingqiu. Today is all my fault. If I don't quarrel with Yanxi, sister-in-law will be fine." Xiuzhu begged Zhang's mother pitifully .

"Miss Xiuzhu, don't blame yourself. The young lady's due date is just a few days away. Everything is ready. It really has nothing to do with you. Our servants have already had a division of labor. If you go, you will be in the way." Zhang Mom shook the burden she had prepared long ago.

Waiting for Bai Wenxin and his wife to rush to the hospital, only to see Xiuzhu who was comforting and crying her son outside the delivery room, Qingqiu had already entered the delivery room. "Xiuzhu, why are you here? Why are you crying? Is Qingqiu's situation not good? What are you doing stupidly, telling the doctor to protect you no matter what!" Bai Wenxin, who had always behaved calmly, saw his niece crying, and suddenly panicked A lot of words were said in a crackling voice.

Bai Shaoyi hurriedly told the story: "Qingqiu is very good, the doctor said that the delivery will be smooth. The reason for the embroidered beads is..."

After hearing what happened, Mrs. Bai sighed: "This child is really spoiled. Don't be sad, Xiuzhu. Your sister-in-law is also going to give birth. Yanxi can't wait for me to talk to his father, ruthlessly Teach him a lesson." Jin Ying could only sigh at his nephew's incompetence.

Xiuzhu still felt that Qingqiu wouldn't have mobilized at this time if she hadn't quarreled with Yanxi, and if something happened to Qingqiu, she would really be a sinner.Seeing Xiuzhu get into the horns, the Baijia couple and Bai Shaoyi could only comfort Xiuzhu while waiting for the news from inside.Just when Bai Xiongqi and his wife received the notice and rushed over, they apologized to their uncle and aunt, saying that they would have a serious talk with the Jin family, because Yanxi's behavior was too much.If the Jin family didn't have a serious statement, they would have to reconsider Yanxi and Xiuzhi's marriage.

With this episode, Bai Shaoyi was not in the mood to worry.When the Bai family members were having a meeting outside the delivery room to discuss Xiuzhu's marriage, a nurse came out of the delivery room: "Leng Qingqiu's family, congratulations on the birth of a daughter."
