[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

Soon it was dinner time, Wan Xiang and her cousin sat down at the table early.

The money bank made a lot of money, so the situation of the Xi family took a turn for the worse. It happened to coincide with the reunion of relatives, so tonight the kitchen was ordered by the old lady to cook a lot of delicacies that could be on the table. Vegetarian food and cured meat, which were bland every day before, are very different.

After all, Xi Wanxiang is still a little girl, able to accept light food and drinking water, but it is rare to see such a table of steaming thick oily red sauce, fresh salty and spicy fragrance, she has already forgotten about Aunt Feng's return, and just blinked Eyes, staring expectantly at the oily trotters in the center.

Suddenly Duanping's elbow at the table was lightly touched by his cousin, Xi Wanxiang raised her head suddenly, and saw Aunt Feng, supported by a maid, came out from the back hall slowly, pushing aside the bead curtain. The thin and tall one is sister Qingse.

Aunt Feng is a little thinner than she was four years ago, probably because she fled from the plague and suffered a lot.Her slightly pale face was covered with a thin layer of powder, and her lips were puffed up, which made her look pretty good, and she could vaguely see the graceful demeanor of when she was a popular oiran in Jiangning.If the makeup is removed, it is probably haggard.

Xi Wanxiang didn't want to call her, but she was touched by her cousin's elbow again, so she reluctantly said: "Auntie, don't come here without any harm."

Aunt Feng was still a little intimidated by the little girl, she gave a lukewarm smile, and said in a friendly way: "Second Miss Lao is concerned, Auntie is fine. I wonder how Miss Second is doing in the countryside?"

Hearing the word "countryside", Wanxiang couldn't help but think of her previous contempt for her experience of growing up in the countryside, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, so she just said lightly: "It's pretty good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there are no ordinary people. Disturbance of mundane things."

Aunt Feng snorted and sat down next to the old lady's seat.Xi Qingse, who was following her, also came out of the faint darkness and sat beside her.

Wan Xiang couldn't help raising her eyes, looking at the young lady whom she hadn't seen for many days.

Qingse has been elevated a lot, and her already beautiful appearance has become more outstanding. Different from Wan Xiang's delicate and active aura, she has a desolate self, like an undercurrent under the cold winter ice, clear and dull.Considering that she has passed her age and still has no one to marry, Aunt Feng must be very anxious about her marriage.Now that Geng Tie has been found, I must find Wang Mazi's matchmaker to make a match.

Thinking of this, Wan Xiang couldn't help but sweat for her young lady.

"Come here from the town, I heard that the bank's business has been very good these two days?" Aunt Feng smiled, her eyes turned around Yin Tang, "Yin'er is quite good at managing business, and the old lady is very satisfied. .”

Yin Chan smiled calmly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "You are absurd. Taking care of the elders and maintaining the family business, the daughter-in-law is just doing her own duty."

These words seem to be alluding to Aunt Feng's behavior of fleeing in a hurry when Xi's family was killed by the plague, regardless of the old lady's life.Although Aunt Feng cursed secretly in her heart, she was wronged in the end, so she could only pretend to be stupid and giggled.

Just as she was talking, Mrs. Xi came out with a cane.

"Grandmother is alright? It's okay to come out now, right?" This was the first time seeing Mrs. Xi walking out of the room, and Wan Xiang couldn't help feeling a little worried.

The old lady coughed softly: "It's okay, staying in the room all day is also very boring, so I should take a walk while it's still not cold." Then, the old lady was supported and sat down carefully, as before. General swept the crowd around, picked up the chopsticks calmly, and said, "Let's eat."

He ate a meal in a decent manner, and he didn't feel comfortable eating with his cousin in private at all.Wan Xiang seemed to have returned to the feeling she had when she first came to Xi's house when she was eight years old. It was oppressive and slow, everything was within the rules and etiquette, and no one dared to overstep.

Everyone ate in silence, the old lady put down the chopsticks first, and the maid behind her brought the mouthwash cup to her hand.After rinsing her mouth, the old lady said unhurriedly: "Since Mrs. Feng has come back now, you will be in charge of the cloth shop that you used to manage. After all, you should be familiar with it after all these years. As for the plague It was a blessing to be able to return home safely. You have already reflected on yourself. In front of everyone, I will not say anything more. Now I am not as energetic as before. The Yin family is fully in charge, and Yuan Zhen and his son are far away in Jiangning, but there is still no response after sending a letter, so now the Xi family is in charge of the two of you, you must not disappoint my old woman's earnest expectations."

Aunt Feng was still a little stunned to hear that the money bank had been handed over to Yin Tang, but she didn't dare to express much in front of the old lady, so she put on an affectionate smile, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Naturally, I will I will take care of the Xi family together with Ling'er."

Yin Chan also nodded: "Yin Chan is young, and there are still many people who need to learn from mother-in-law and old lady in the future, so please don't hesitate to teach me."

The old lady Xi glanced at the two of them indifferently: "You are harmonious and safe with each other, so my old lady can rest assured." After saying that, the old lady got up and went back to her room to rest.

Before everyone said "go slowly", a few servant-like people came to the door.

A few servants carried heavy pearwood boxes on their shoulders, and placed three or five boxes properly in the courtyard.Just when everyone was wondering, another figure with big arms and round waist came in the door, the fat side of his body trembled with every step.

"Oh, happy event, great happy event!" Wang Mazi's matchmaker flicked the red silk scarf in her hand, and walked in with a joyful face. Her shrewd eyes became more and more flattering when she saw Mrs. Xi, "It just so happens that the old lady also Now, this happy event is bound to come true.”

Old Madam Xi covered her lips and coughed: "Matchmaker Wang came here uninvited, but which son do you want to marry?"

The matchmaker laughed, walked up to the old lady, cast a glance at Aunt Feng and Xi Qingse, and said imploringly: "The old lady is really wise, and she can understand the purpose of my trip at a glance. It is Du Yuanwai from the town. The young master of the family said that he fell in love with a girl from our Xi family, no, let me be the matchmaker!"

Du, son of the Du family?Xi Wanxiang was concentrating on gnawing on the pig's trotter when she suddenly bit the tip of her own tongue, causing tears to flow from the pain.

The old lady frowned: "The Du family, I didn't have much friendship with the Xi family at first, they were just casual acquaintances in the business field. Now, why is it so good that Mr. Du has taken a fancy to my girl?"

"Old lady, this fate is destined. When the fate comes, it's a matter of course at a glance! Regardless of whether the friendship was deep or shallow in the past, Mr. Du said that as long as the girl of the Xi family nods, even if the characters are not compatible, she will definitely marry her." Married." The matchmaker said with a smile.

"Hey, I didn't know it was such an affectionate lover." The old lady Xi mocked lightly, "I wonder which girl from my family Mr. Du is looking for?"

Seeing the two people's glances, Xi Wanxiang hurriedly waved her hands with her eyes wide open. She was still a little girl, so it could never be her.Xi Qingse, on the other hand, drank the water dismissively, as if she didn't pay attention to Wang Mazi's matchmaker at all.

The matchmaker looked at Wan Xiang's still youthful face, with the heel bone still in her mouth, her frightened appearance was really immature.Then he raised his orchid fingers and pointed at Xi Qingse who was sitting on the other side who was as stable as Mount Tai with a smile: "Here, it is Miss Xi's family. Mr. Du fell in love with Miss at first sight!"

"What are you in love with? I've never even seen him." Xi Qingse, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened her mouth coldly, without a trace of a smile.

Aunt Feng next to her gave her a pinch, and said with a quick smile: "This is indeed a good thing. But the zodiac signs still have to match, how can we make a private decision for life just because of love at first sight? If the horoscopes match, our marriage will be a matter of course. "

Mrs. Xi thought about it for a while, but she came out for an hour or two, and she was really tired from standing, so she said to Aunt Feng: "In this case, you take out the clear Geng post and ask Matchmaker Wang to get Mr. Du." please go and read the post, Mrs. Hu Ba." After speaking, the old lady was helped down.

The Geng post that I found in Qingse's room in the afternoon will come in handy now. Aunt Feng happily took out the yellowed paper from the hidden pocket of her cuff, found a box to keep it properly, and handed it to Wang matchmaker.

After accepting the Geng post, Wang Mazi's matchmaker thanked her happily, and led the boys who came with her out the door.

After what happened in the evening, Xi Wanxiang couldn't help but think about her future fate.

This dynasty is not compared to modern times. Even though parents used to nagging and urging marriage, and arranged three blind dates a day for themselves, the power of life and death for love and marriage is still in their own hands.But it's different now, just one or two words of praise, true or false, and matchmaking, with the matching of two thin pieces of paper, you can use the matchmaker's words to determine the life of the two people.Although she was already mentally prepared, Xi Wanxiang was still worried when it really fell on her.

The weather was already very cold, and the exhaled air condensed into a hazy circle of white mist in the air.

Thinking of Sister Qingse's calm and indifferent appearance, in fact, she is also very resistant to such a promise of marriage, right?But what can be done?At this age, if she continues to persevere, she will easily be laughed at, and it will be meaningless.

As for the sister-in-law, Wan Xiang sat on the porch in front of the door, looking at the scattered stars in the sky.The sister-in-law also married in this way, and she has never even seen her husband-in-law... No, I don’t know if the cousin has come back during the four years I was away from the Xi family, even if the cousin is not pregnant or has a child , It cannot be ruled out that the cousin has come back!If the cousin has come back, then he must have had sex... And even if the cousin has not come back in the past four years, he will come back anyway. The cousin is his wife, and that is justified.

Thinking of this, Xi Wanxiang couldn't help but worry, and she didn't know what she was worrying about.As soon as his brain twitched, he jumped off his seat and headed towards his sister-in-law's room.

Wan Xiang's mind was muddled, she took a breath and ran in front of her cousin.

Seeing Wan Xiang panting, Yin Tang thought something was wrong, so he pulled out the other silk from his chest, wiped the thin sweat from Wan Xiang's forehead, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Opened her mouth, Xi Wanxiang didn't know how to explain her reason.

After thinking about it, isn't it a happy thing for the sister-in-law to fall in love with her husband as soon as possible?To add a child to have fun as soon as possible, and to continue the incense for the Xi family, isn't it what the cousin prays for every year in the Songzi Niangniang Temple?

Thinking of this, Wan Xiang couldn't help feeling discouraged.She turned her eyes away, not daring to look at her sister-in-law's gentle eyes, she only whispered: "It's okay, I just miss my sister-in-law."

Yin Chan chuckled lightly: "How long have we been apart, do you miss your cousin sister-in-law?"

Wan Xiang felt depressed, so she just nodded casually.

All night, Xi Wanxiang was depressed, no matter what the sister-in-law said, it seemed like nothing but wind in her ears, and her heart was completely wrapped up in those unreasonable worries.She wasn't such a entangled person in the first place, and there was never anything that she couldn't get over or forget, but when her cousin was involved, she became twisted.

In the end, Wanxiang couldn't stand it anymore.Before going to sleep, I curled up next to my sister-in-law, wrapped myself tightly with a quilt, as if in a dark claustrophobia, I became more courageous, and I could ignore it.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to marry in the future."

"Huh? Is it possible that you want to be with your cousin forever?" Yin Chen casually teased.

"Ah."

"Childish." Yin Tang laughed, and patted Wanxiang's quilt disapprovingly, "Put your head out, don't be bored."

Suddenly felt her waist tightened, and the little girl hugged herself tightly in the bed, the warmth came from her small body, like a small fireball.Yin Chan narrowed his eyes: "Okay, my sister-in-law knows, go to sleep."

What Yin Tang didn't know was that the little girl hugged her and wet her eyes.

She is close in front of her eyes, even in her arms, but she is so far away as if she is far away in the sky.

Wan Xiang didn't know what was wrong with her, she was in a daze.She didn't want to marry, and she didn't want her cousin to come back.Xi Wanxiang felt that even if the soul was not related to him, but he was a close relative of flesh and blood, she shouldn't think so.

The author has something to say: Wan Xiang: What to do!Feeling hugs are not enough!So blue and thin!Feeling sick(._.)

Tang sister-in-law (touching her forehead): Do you want to drink medicine?

Wanxiang: Don’t drink medicine, just kiss and it will be fine ╮(╯▽╰)╭
