Xia Jingui of the Red Chamber
Chapter 17
This great aunt is really different from before.The housekeeper wanted to look at Xia Jingui again, but Xia Jingui had already turned around and helped Mrs. Xia into the house.The housekeeper made a bow to Xia Jingui's back, and then chased after Xia San and left.
"What did you talk to the housekeeper outside?" Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Jingui had been talking to the housekeeper for a long time, so she couldn't help but ask after entering the room.
"I didn't say anything, but I just said that I want to rent a better house." Xia Jingui said perfunctorily, and Mrs. Xia frowned: "There are no servants at the moment. Otherwise, why should you order it?" As expected, the wife just heard Xia Jingui talk about how the family business will recover in the future, and now she is thinking about living a very ostentatious life.Of course, Xia Jingui wouldn't complain about it, and just smiled at Mrs. Xia: "The family is short at the moment. Besides, this woman in the market doesn't know how many strange men she has to meet in a day."
"You also know that is a woman in the market?" Mrs. Xia said very disapprovingly. Xia Jingui smiled slightly and did not continue on this topic. Seeing that the old woman brought things in, Xia Jingui and Mrs. Xia counted these things and returned them. Xia Jingui also took care of the things Mrs. Xia brought to Aunt Xue. Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Jingui asked her mother-in-law to report to Xue's house, saying that she was going back and asked the car to pick her up.
Aunt Xue and Baochai were arranging things for Xue Biao to get married when she heard someone report that Xia Jingui was coming back and asked to send a car.Aunt Xue sighed: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in our family are reversed."
"Mom, you said a few days ago that as long as your sister-in-law calms down, it's fine, but now you're thinking about other things, don't you have to look forward to Shu?" Baochai knew that his sister-in-law could not ask her to be virtuous and virtuous. Less trouble, less trouble, said to Aunt Xue with a smile.
Aunt Xue shook her head: "That's all, I'm just talking." Baochai asked someone to drive a car to pick up Xia Jingui, and picked up a brocade: "Mom, come and see, is this color good? I thought, Sister Xing is a Love is plain, but this newlyweds, no matter what, they have to wear some bright clothes."
Aunt Xue knew that it was her daughter's purpose to amuse her, so she nodded at the material, "That's right, Miss Xing has a quiet temperament. Although this color is bright, it can hold her back when she wears it."
"When sister Xing passes through the door, mother, you will enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law." When Baochai was speaking, Xiangling walked in with a pile of needles and threads in her hand, and nodded when she heard this: "Young lady said so. Madam, If you treat people well, you will never end up enjoying this blessing in the future."
"Even you make fun of me with your girl." Aunt Xue said something, and laughed herself. Baochai took the needle and thread from Xiangling's hand, and said to Xiangling: "I didn't say that, sister Ling only needs to take care of her body." , I don’t need to do these needlework anymore, I’ll do it again now, it’s..."
"I've been taking medicine every day, and I'm walking around again, and I feel much better than before." Xiangling still had the same temper, Baochai just smiled, and heard the maid outside saying that Xia Jingui had returned.
When Xiangling heard Xia Jingui's return, she was sitting down, but she hurriedly stood up, her face paled a lot.Baochai stretched out her hand to pat Xiangling's shoulder, and just as she was about to comfort her, she saw a maid raising the curtain, and Xia Jingui walked in with her head down.This is strange, in the past when Xia Jingui came back, she would always send a servant girl to tell her that she was tired, and would never come by herself.Both Baochai and Aunt Xue were muttering in their hearts, Baochai had already involuntarily put her body in front of Xiangling, lest Xia Jingui come to make trouble again.
When Xia Jingui walked into the room, he felt that the three people in front of him looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.I'm afraid I can't change it for a while, but Xia Jingui doesn't care. He just glanced at Xiangling and smiled at Aunt Xue: "My daughter-in-law stayed at her mother's house for two nights, and she's back now."
"It's good to come back, I'm afraid you're tired, go down and rest." Aunt Xue wished her daughter-in-law would go out quickly, and Xia Jingui laughed with her tone that if she stayed a little longer, it would be more dangerous.Especially when Xia Jingui saw Xiangling shrinking behind Baochai, she tried to maintain a calm expression on her face.Xia Jingui looked at Xiangling: "Xiangling, have you taken care of your body these days?"
This sentence made Baochai wonder if Xia Jingui knew about sending Xiangling to serve Xue Pan?So Baochai looked at Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue focused on Xia Jingui without responding to her daughter.Baochai frowned, Xia Jingui originally wanted to go out, but today she was here to pierce the window paper, so that they would know that she already knew that Xiangling was going to serve Xue Pan, lest they do things in front of her, always Secretly, it makes people feel stuffy.
So Xia Jingui sat down by herself, called Baochan in, and pointed to the things in Baochan's hand: "I went back to the village yesterday, and this is what my second aunt ordered to bring to my wife." Aunt Xue Without looking at what those things were, she said to Xia Jingui, "Thank you, Second Aunt, for me."
"My second aunt also said that when I saw my wife, I always called you sister-in-law, but now I'm going to call you my in-laws wife. It's really interesting to think about it." Xia Jingui laughed when she said that, Aunt Xue hurriedly apologized, Baochai Feeling like sitting on pins and needles, seeing that Xia Jingui could only speak but couldn't speak, the doubts in his heart deepened.
Xiangling wanted to leave quietly, but if she wanted to leave, she had to pass in front of Xia Jingui, Xiangling didn't dare to mess with Xia Jingui again.Xiangling's palms were sweating, and she was stirring the handkerchief quietly.
Although Xia Jingui was talking to Aunt Xue there, half of her heart was on Xiangling. Seeing Xiangling standing there looking pitiful with her head bowed, Xia Jingui couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Originally, Xiangling should be as tall as Miss Qianjin big.So Xia Jingui deliberately said: "By the way, there is one more thing, I'm afraid my wife doesn't know about it."
Saying that, Xia Jingui turned to Xiangling: "When I was in my mother's house, I heard about Xiangling's life experience. I thought, now that the uncle is also in prison, I might as well find Xiangling's relatives and let Xiangling go back to his hometown. It didn't delay her."
The rest of the people thought it was 12 strange. Aunt Xue stood there in a daze and didn't know what to say. Baochai had already said to Xia Jingui: "Sister-in-law, you don't know something. Back then..."
"Back then, Xiangling was also the daughter of a good family, but she was abducted by a kidnapper, and that kidnapper was not her father." Xia Jingui's words made Xiangling burst into tears, did she find her relatives?My father has wandered away, and my mother lives with my grandfather, even if I find relatives, it's the same rootless duckweed, wandering everywhere.Xiangling had to work hard to control herself so that she would not cry.
Baochai frowned: "Sister-in-law, what should I say..."
"No matter what, it was judged by an official, but that is because the Xue family is very powerful." Xia Jingui's words made Baochai unable to say anything else. Baochai looked at Xiangling, saw her face was full of tears, Baochai asked softly after a little thought Xiangling: "Since sister-in-law said so, Xiangling, would you like to go back to your hometown and look for your relatives?"
Xiangling felt that her legs and feet were not her own, so she just knelt down numbly, so what if she found it, so what if she couldn't find it, but things are different, everything is different.
Aunt Xue became anxious when she heard Baochai say this: "Baochai, you can't say that. It's settled. Xiangling will go to the prison to serve your brother. If I can give birth to a son and a half daughter, I will have a good life." consolation."
"Mom." Seeing Aunt Xue telling the truth, Baochai hurriedly tried to stop her. Xia Jingui only looked at Xiangling. Although she knew that Xiangling would not be able to return to her hometown, the sadness and sighs in Xia Jingui's heart at this moment were real. , this rootless girl like duckweed can't help herself to decide whether to go or stay.
Baochai only remembered to stop Aunt Xue, but didn't notice Xia Jingui's eyes gradually becoming sad when she looked at Xiangling.Aunt Xue heard Baochai stop her after she finished speaking, and she knew she was wrong, so she apologized to Xia Jingui and said with a smile: "Grandma, you will know about this sooner or later. When Xiangling gives birth to a child, you are the aunt. You are the one to take it up and raise it. Xiangling is a well-behaved girl, from now on you..."
Aunt?Xia Jingui sneered, and looked up at Aunt Xue: "Xiangling, she is not an object."
Baochai and Aunt Xue were both stunned by these words, and Xiangling fell to the ground in tears. This sentence completely overwhelmed Xiangling. From the day she was abducted, she is not a person, but an object, whoever likes it can do it. bought myself.Not even a tiny bit of hope is left to myself.Xiangling never cares about what is fighting for favor or what is fighting, nor does she care about it.Even if there is a fight between objects, they can be easily abandoned.
After Xia Jingui finished that sentence, he didn't know what to say, how to talk about personal rights with a group of ancients. This is the era when masters and slaves are legal, and this is also the era of class division.The difference between good and bad is like a ravine.Xia Jingui was silent for a long time before turning her eyes away from Xiangling: "Xiangling is going to serve the uncle, then go, if you can give birth to a boy and a half girl, then give birth, just don't say that I am the aunt, don't say anything If you want me to raise the child. I didn't have the child and I don't want to raise it."
Saying that Xia Jingui stood up, Baochai reluctantly said: "Sister-in-law, you are the first mother, besides the rules..."
"Don't talk to me about rules or irregularities." Xia Jingui stood there, looked at Baochai, and said in a slightly annoyed voice, "Rules are not made for me." After saying that, Xia Jingui lifted the curtain and went out.
Only then did Aunt Xue pat her heart, and said to Baochai, "Look, she..."
Before he finished speaking, the curtain was raised again, Xia Jingui stood at the door and looked at the people inside: "Also, what are you going to do in the future, just say it openly, it looks disgusting if you hide your head and show your tail." After finishing speaking, Xia Jingui closed the curtain Toss and walk away.Aunt Xue asked her daughter cautiously: "Tell me, what does your sister-in-law mean by saying these words?"
☆, powerless
Baochai looked at the still turbulent door curtain, and shook her head at Aunt Xue, not understanding, not knowing, but Baochai felt that it seemed that it was not jealousy, and even Xia Jingui didn't take Xue Pan to heart at all, and didn't care at all. Who gave birth to Xue Pan's child.This sister-in-law has indeed changed a lot.
Baochai took a deep breath and helped Xiangling up: "Get up, you heard what your grandma said just now, if you want to go or stay, it's up to you." Xiangling looked up at Baochai, her voice choked : "Girl, I don't want to lie to you, I want to go, but it's useless to go."
After speaking, Xiangling burst into tears, as if she wanted to cry away all her grievances and sorrows. This heart has died again and again, and it will never beat lively again.
Baochan followed Xia Jingui out of the door, heard Xiangling's crying from inside the house, and said to Xia Jingui: "Listen, grandma, Xiangling is still crying right now, I must think that grandma, you are uneasy and kind. "Xia Jingui couldn't tell the ancients what he was depressed about. After all, in their hearts, such things were taken for granted. Masters enjoy blessings and slaves suffer.It's all predestined, Xia Jingui told himself countless times that this is normal, and his luck is pretty good, finally wearing Xia Jingui's body instead of Xiangling's.
But knowing it is one thing, wanting to change but being powerless is another. This feeling is too aggrieved for Xia Jingui to accept.
After all, he is not an ancient person, Xia Jingui wanted to laugh at himself, but felt his face was wet.Stretching out his hand to touch it, I don't know when, tears are streaming down my face.
Baochan looked at Xia Jingui in amazement, it was not that she had never seen Xia Jingui cry, but this time, Xia Jingui was really sad, could it be that Grandma was sad because of Xiangling?Baochan murmured in his heart, and quietly looked at Aunt Xue's upper room, Xiangling's crying didn't stop, and Xia Jingui couldn't wipe away the tears in his eyes.
"Grandma, you..." After standing in the courtyard for a while, Baochan finally dared to speak to Xia Jingui. Xia Jingui wiped the tears from his eyes again with his hand, forcing himself to calm down.Baochan saw that Xia Jingui was only wiping away tears with his hands and didn't speak, he thought for a while and said: "Grandma, why don't I go in and tell my wife, just say, you don't want Miss Xiangling, and you want Miss Xiangling back."
As Baochan said, he was about to run towards the upper room, but Xia Jingui reached out and grabbed his sleeve as soon as he took a step.Xia Jingui's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat: "No need, no need to go, I..." Since there is nothing I can do, then only when nothing happened, Xia Jingui felt that tears were coming out of his eyes again, and forced himself to swallow them , and continued: "In the future, don't mention this matter again."
Baochan was bewildered by Xia Jingui's words, he just nodded blankly, Xiangling's crying stopped at some point, the curtain moved slightly, Baochai walked out of the room, and saw Xia Jingui's master and servant standing under the steps, Baochan Just as Chai was about to say hello to Xia Jingui, she saw Xia Jingui's face covered with tears, Baochai raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Baochan.
Baochan shook his head blankly, and saw Xia Jingui let go of Baochan's sleeve and walked up the steps.Baochai still thought that Xia Jingui was looking for trouble for herself, so she leaned back slightly, Xia Jingui stopped a step away from Baochai, and looked at the woman in front of her who was regarded by countless people as the best wife.From the very beginning, she was for the Xue family, for the brother who failed to live up to expectations, to comfort her mother, take care of the housework, and liven up the vivacity that youth should have, grinding it into a pool of stagnant water.
Countless people sympathized with Li Wan's ancient well, but few people sympathized with Baochai's stagnant pool, and some even regarded her as the murderer who killed Lin Daiyu.However, Baochai herself has never made an active choice about her own destiny.She is passive, and the good wind sends me to the blue sky by force, and it is always foreign objects pushing her.Baochai's misfortune is not that she was young and widowed, but her misfortune is that she did not say a word about her own destiny from beginning to end.
"Sister-in-law, this is..." Baochai was taken aback by the way Xia Jingui looked at her, which clearly expressed sighs and sympathy.After a long time, Baochai said this to Xia Jingui. Xia Jingui stretched out her hand to stop Baochai from continuing, but said to Baochai, "Girl, if you can think less about the Xue family, but think about yourself , not, not, not, not..."
Seeing Baochai's expression change from astonishment to surprise, and then to calm again, Xia Jingui knew that her words were actually useless, and Baochai would still put herself last for the sake of the Xue family.It's not that Aunt Xue doesn't love her daughter, but she loves her son even more. She is a person who can push her daughter to charge and even use her daughter to fill holes for her son.
Xia Jingui suddenly laughed, a bit bleakly, it was a tragedy, so why try to change it.Xue Baochai's fate has been doomed since she showed her intelligence when she was young. Her father's training for her has always hoped to use this daughter to exchange for the well-being of the whole family.As for Baochai, she accepted such an arrangement when she was very young, or in other words, she never tried to understand another life.
In this way, Daiyu's early death is not a comedy. In this world, her parents love her, she has loved and been loved by others. Except for her short life span, she has no regrets in her life.
"Girl, take care." Xia Jingui turned around and walked down the steps after leaving such an inexplicable sentence. Baochan, who was waiting at the bottom of the steps, hurriedly followed her when she saw Xia Jingui coming down.Baochai stood on the porch, watching Xia Jingui's master and servant disappear, her brows were tightly frowned, and it took a long time before Baochai sighed softly.
How could he not plan for the Xue family?A woman's honor and disgrace all her life is in her husband's family. As long as she lives by herself, she has to plan for Xue's and Jia's.
"Girl, what does Grandma mean?" Ying'er, who witnessed the whole process but couldn't ask Baochai, asked Baochai curiously. I'm afraid I'm a little annoyed when I hear that Xiangling is going to serve her brother in prison, but this is a big deal, and my sister-in-law can't stop it."
"Grandma's temper is still the same, it hasn't changed at all." Ying'er said this with some dissatisfaction, Baochai glanced at Ying'er: "Let's go, let's go back, your second master is much better these days, wait a little longer In the days to come, I persuaded the second master to study hard."
"Second Lord knows everything. I'll see. I'm afraid he's studying, so he needs you to watch over him." Ying'er's words made Baochai smile again. You can become an official without going to the scientific examination, and you can see the path of this life.
Xia Jingui ran into the room quickly, and Baochan, who was following behind, was about to call Grandma, when Xia Jingui picked up a mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly Xia Jingui smashed the mirror to the ground hard.Baochan was startled, seeing the mirror fell to the ground and broke in two, Xia Jingui wanted to pick it up again.
Baochan hurriedly shouted: "Grandma, put it down, leave it to me to clean up. Grandma, since you are angry today, why don't you go with your wife..."
Xia Jingui glanced at Baochan coldly, Baochan shut up obediently, Xia Jingui laughed suddenly, Baochan was even more flustered now, this grandma burst into tears and laughed again, could it be that she was bewitched, do you want to Go tell your wife and find a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits?
Suddenly Xia Jingui stopped laughing, and then he heard Xia Jingui talking to himself: "I know, I can't stop it, nothing can change it, all I can do is my own destiny." Do it again, and then leave from Xue's house. When the time comes, all the Xue's and Jia's will go away, and the aunt and grandma will go to live their own good life.
Baochan had already cleaned up all the glass shards on the ground, and she didn't understand what Xia Jingui said. She took a peek at Xia Jingui and heard Xia Jingui say: "Okay, it's okay, let's go back tomorrow and look at that place." A newly leased house."
This grandma changed her face really fast today, of course Baochan only dared to mutter in his heart, but still respectfully said: "Then grandma, do you want to pass on dinner? There is a new sweet-scented osmanthus brew in the kitchen."
"Yes, prepare a pot for me. Also, I don't want to fry the bones for wine. You go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare some salted duck eggs for me. Don't peel or cut them. Just send them here and fry them for me." A plate of peanuts." Baochan was intimidated by Xia Jingui's request, how could people's tastes change so quickly?But seeing Xia Jingui staring at him with beautiful eyes, Baochan still didn't dare to say anything, so he went to prepare these for Xia Jingui.
Serving wine with fried peanuts and salted duck eggs was Xia Yuee's father's hobby during his lifetime. At that time, Xia Yuee hated her father's hobby very much. I ate happily with a sip of wine, and occasionally fried peanuts with chopsticks.
However, after her father passed away, whenever she encountered any troubles, Xia Yue'e would still imitate her father, sip salted duck eggs and sip wine. There is an upright person standing there who will not fall down.
When Baochan brought all the food and wine, Xia Jingui knocked the big head of the salted duck egg and poked it with chopsticks, the duck egg oil inside burst out, Xia Jingui's tears fell again, Dad, your daughter is definitely not a Intimidating people.Once you make a decision, you won't regret it, will you?
Xia Jingui comforted herself and poured out a glass of wine from the pot. The sweet-scented osmanthus was very sweet, with only a slight taste of wine. The tears in Xia Jingui's eyes slowly disappeared, leaving only perseverance.
☆, determined
Seeing Xia Jingui's way of eating salted duck eggs, Baochan's eyes almost popped out. Xia Jingui didn't care about Baochan, thinking that the wine glass was too small, so he simply picked up the jug and poured it into his mouth. There seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes, but Xia Jingui's eyes became clearer.Xia Jingui put down the jug, dropped the salted duck eggs, picked up the peanuts, rubbed off the outer skin of the peanuts, and slowly put the peanuts into his mouth without even looking at Baochan: "Baochan, in a few days, I will Find your family, you go out."
"Grandma, you, I..." Baochan didn't know whether it was good news or bad news, watching Xia Jingui's incoherent speech.Xia Jingui gently blew the peanut skin off her palm, stood up and walked in front of Baochan: "Baochan, don't say anything about being loyal or not, I know you want to live a life of prosperity and wealth, but there are some things that are not just what you want. can have."
Baochan was frightened by Xia Jingui's words, and hurriedly knelt down to Xia Jingui: "Grandma, I, I..."
"There's no need to explain. Baochan, I won't treat you badly, and I won't say anything worth money, and I will prepare a dowry for you. Baochan, I shouldn't have given you to the uncle and harmed Xiangling. Now I'm awake, what's the point of these things? In the back house, you fight over trivial matters, and you just stumble over them because of how well the men treat you. Speaking of such things is just to provoke people joke."
Why did Xia Jingui understand every single word that Xia Jingui said, but when put together, he didn't understand it at all?Besides, before Xia Jingui got married, she told herself, how can there be rules of being a concubine without a grandma in the house?He also told himself that if the son-in-law took a fancy to him, he would share the glory and wealth together, and he must make sure that the beautiful concubine has no place to stand.But what he said now is completely opposite to what he said before.
"Grandma..." Baochan felt that he was getting more confused, and Xia Jingui had already sighed softly: "I'm tired today, I have to rest, Baochan, go down. Think carefully about what I said, in life, you have to do something. There are so many things to do, it’s not just about striving for favor and climbing the ladder.”
Baochan answered in a daze, and then Xia Jingui said again: "Besides, Baochan, it's not that I look down on you. A servant girl is a servant girl after all, and even if she climbs higher, the master is still the master."
Baochan really understood what she said, she was about to stand up, and threw herself in front of Xia Jingui: "Grandma, I understand what you mean, I beg you, don't chase the little one away. Grandma, I'm for you..."
Baochan couldn't say the rest of the words when he saw Xia Jingui's eyes. Xia Jingui didn't just talk, she really thought so.Baochan lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs: "Grandma, since I was sold into Xia's family, I have only been able to serve people since I was a child, and I can't do other jobs at all. Besides, if my parents can sell me once, they can sell me." My second time. Grandma, please, I..."
"Oh, you didn't want to go out because you don't know anything?" Xia Jingui really didn't think about it, and Baochan's expression became even more pitiful: "Grandma, don't you know why you are asking? We girls who follow How can the maid who is doing fine work by her side know how to do those rough jobs."
The personal maids of rich and noble families are more respected than some girls from poor families. Xia Jingui tilted her head slightly, and then said to Baochan: "This is the truth, and I have forgotten it. It's just by my side. It’s no good for you. Baochan, you are smart, but your cleverness has never been used on the right path, and you are not as stupid as Xiao She’er.”
"Grandma, I..." Baochan still wanted to explain a few words, but his lips moved there a few times, and he didn't speak anymore.Xia Jingui smiled again: "I will leave you at Xue's house, and Xiangling will serve the uncle. If you become pregnant, you will take care of her. After giving birth, you..."
Stay at Xue's house?Grandma is leaving the Xue family?Baochan's mind was spinning quickly, and he came to a conclusion, and he was stunned. Xia Jingui looked at Baochan and said, "Yes, just as you think, Baochan, I am different from before. And I am also Don't be afraid to tell your wife."
After a pause, Xia Jingui continued: "No one can stop what I want to do. No matter how difficult it is, I must do it."
No matter what method is used, it must be done, and it can be done.Baochan couldn't say another word, seeing Xia Jingui waving his hand, Baochan stood up numbly and walked out of the room numbly.The sun had already set, and all the houses were already lit. Baochan looked at the unlit room behind him.
Just now Xia Jingui's words sounded in his ears again, and Baochan felt chills all over his body for no reason, Xia Jingui has always had his own way since he was a child, but Baochan has been serving her since he was a child, and he knows that she is only superficially shrewd, but inwardly she is confused. Just a few words of instigation by people can be the same as a block of explosive charcoal.Even when Baochan wanted to seduce Xue Pan, he didn't put Xia Jingui in his eyes, and relied on his own mental means to treat Xue Pan like a puppy. When he gave birth to a son, The Xue family will still be in his hands.
However, Xia Jingui's eyes and words just now let Baochan know that this Xia Jingui is no longer the Xia Jingui she used to be. She has a purpose and a means, which far exceeds all her calculations.It seems that the gods have seen that the past ten years have been too smooth for me, so I want to give myself a warning.Baochan gave a wry smile, Xia Jingui was not afraid at all even if she went to inform her, Aunt Xue couldn't even deal with the original Xia Jingui, let alone this Xia Jingui who was much more difficult than before, she was afraid that with a few words, this Xia Jingui could make Aunt Xue live herself kill.
She didn't even need Aunt Xue to come forward, she could order herself to be beaten to death.Baochan sighed softly, until now, there is no way to go except to follow all instructions of this Xia Jingui.
After thinking about it, Baochan realized that he didn't sleep very well that night.However, Xia Jingui slept very soundly. Once she figured it out, nothing could stop her.Waking up early the next morning, after freshening up, Xia Jingui took Baochan back to Xia's house. Seeing Baochan's pale face, Xia Jingui knew what he said last night, so Baochan listened seriously.
Xia Jingui snorted coldly, and Baochan almost jumped up because of such a cold snort for no apparent reason. Seeing the fear in Baochan's eyes, Xia Jingui stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, jokingly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of you very well. As long as you are obedient and obedient. I am the least, and I will let your wife live this life peacefully."
Baochan stretched out his hand and patted his heart. There was a question he had been wanting to ask since last night: "You, if you are like this, why did you leave the Xue family? When Miss Ling gives birth to a boy and a half girl, you will also be the aunt, and then..."
"I'm not that stupid, so I don't want to be buried with you. Besides, the world is so big, I want to see it." What Xia Jingui left behind made Baochan not understand again. Her brows were tightly frowned, and Xia Jingui tapped her forehead: "Don't think about it, you can't figure it out. There are many things in this world, so interesting, they are much more interesting than men and women arguing for bits and pieces. Here, help me down."
Baochan let out a bewildered oh, jumped out of the car and raised the curtain to help Xia Jingui get out of the car, the words just now were in his ears again, what about men and women, what about fighting over trivial matters, but people live in this world, isn't it just for these things?Is there anything more interesting than these?
While Baochan was still thinking about it, the housekeeper at the gate of Xia's house had already greeted him: "Greetings to my aunt, the younger one and the third master went to see several houses yesterday, and the third master has reserved two houses, and I have to invite my aunt and wife to go. Please refer to the details."
Very good, the butler is very winking, and after only one night, he understood who the real masters of the Xia family are. Xia Jingui likes to deal with such smart people. Xia Jingui smiled at the butler: "What are these two houses? The place? Does my mother already know?”
"Just now..." Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Mrs. Xia's voice sounded behind her: "Jingui, what are you talking to them outside? These houses are still..."
Second Uncle Xia is really a loyal person, otherwise he would have eaten up Mr. Xia's property long ago, instead of leaving it to Mrs. Xia to lose. Xia Jingui once again expressed his powerlessness to Mrs. Xia's IQ and temper before entering The yard said to Mrs. Xia: "You and your brother live in the mother's house, so you must go there first to make a decision. Also, although I can take out the money for renting the house in the first two months, in the long run, my brother still needs to take it over." Only by doing business and paying debts can we live on. Mom, don’t you think so?”
After being coaxed by Xia Jingui, Mrs. Xia lost her anger when she saw Xia Jingui talking to the housekeeper just now. She glanced at Xia Jingui and said, "Okay, okay, what you said is right. Let's go. Your brother has been waiting for you here for almost a morning." Xia San stood behind Mrs. Xia, nodding and bowing to Xia Jingui. Xia Jingui nodded to Xia San as a gift, and the family went to see the house.
These two houses are not far from the original house, and it doesn't take long to walk there.After Xia Jingui and Mrs. Xia Xia San looked at it, they agreed that there was an unfurnished house with a front and back yard, a well and a horse stable inside. Of course, the reason why Xia Jingui chose this house was that the There is also an osmanthus tree in the small courtyard on the east side of the house.Since the Xia family is famous for its sweet-scented osmanthus business, it would be better to choose a house with sweet-scented osmanthus trees.
Seeing Xia Jingui reaching out to touch the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, his eyes were joyful.Sam Xia had already smiled and said, "My sister also likes this Chang'e flower? I wanted to settle this yard yesterday, but I didn't think I could make the decision without asking my sister and mother first."
"What did you talk to the housekeeper outside?" Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Jingui had been talking to the housekeeper for a long time, so she couldn't help but ask after entering the room.
"I didn't say anything, but I just said that I want to rent a better house." Xia Jingui said perfunctorily, and Mrs. Xia frowned: "There are no servants at the moment. Otherwise, why should you order it?" As expected, the wife just heard Xia Jingui talk about how the family business will recover in the future, and now she is thinking about living a very ostentatious life.Of course, Xia Jingui wouldn't complain about it, and just smiled at Mrs. Xia: "The family is short at the moment. Besides, this woman in the market doesn't know how many strange men she has to meet in a day."
"You also know that is a woman in the market?" Mrs. Xia said very disapprovingly. Xia Jingui smiled slightly and did not continue on this topic. Seeing that the old woman brought things in, Xia Jingui and Mrs. Xia counted these things and returned them. Xia Jingui also took care of the things Mrs. Xia brought to Aunt Xue. Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Jingui asked her mother-in-law to report to Xue's house, saying that she was going back and asked the car to pick her up.
Aunt Xue and Baochai were arranging things for Xue Biao to get married when she heard someone report that Xia Jingui was coming back and asked to send a car.Aunt Xue sighed: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in our family are reversed."
"Mom, you said a few days ago that as long as your sister-in-law calms down, it's fine, but now you're thinking about other things, don't you have to look forward to Shu?" Baochai knew that his sister-in-law could not ask her to be virtuous and virtuous. Less trouble, less trouble, said to Aunt Xue with a smile.
Aunt Xue shook her head: "That's all, I'm just talking." Baochai asked someone to drive a car to pick up Xia Jingui, and picked up a brocade: "Mom, come and see, is this color good? I thought, Sister Xing is a Love is plain, but this newlyweds, no matter what, they have to wear some bright clothes."
Aunt Xue knew that it was her daughter's purpose to amuse her, so she nodded at the material, "That's right, Miss Xing has a quiet temperament. Although this color is bright, it can hold her back when she wears it."
"When sister Xing passes through the door, mother, you will enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law." When Baochai was speaking, Xiangling walked in with a pile of needles and threads in her hand, and nodded when she heard this: "Young lady said so. Madam, If you treat people well, you will never end up enjoying this blessing in the future."
"Even you make fun of me with your girl." Aunt Xue said something, and laughed herself. Baochai took the needle and thread from Xiangling's hand, and said to Xiangling: "I didn't say that, sister Ling only needs to take care of her body." , I don’t need to do these needlework anymore, I’ll do it again now, it’s..."
"I've been taking medicine every day, and I'm walking around again, and I feel much better than before." Xiangling still had the same temper, Baochai just smiled, and heard the maid outside saying that Xia Jingui had returned.
When Xiangling heard Xia Jingui's return, she was sitting down, but she hurriedly stood up, her face paled a lot.Baochai stretched out her hand to pat Xiangling's shoulder, and just as she was about to comfort her, she saw a maid raising the curtain, and Xia Jingui walked in with her head down.This is strange, in the past when Xia Jingui came back, she would always send a servant girl to tell her that she was tired, and would never come by herself.Both Baochai and Aunt Xue were muttering in their hearts, Baochai had already involuntarily put her body in front of Xiangling, lest Xia Jingui come to make trouble again.
When Xia Jingui walked into the room, he felt that the three people in front of him looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.I'm afraid I can't change it for a while, but Xia Jingui doesn't care. He just glanced at Xiangling and smiled at Aunt Xue: "My daughter-in-law stayed at her mother's house for two nights, and she's back now."
"It's good to come back, I'm afraid you're tired, go down and rest." Aunt Xue wished her daughter-in-law would go out quickly, and Xia Jingui laughed with her tone that if she stayed a little longer, it would be more dangerous.Especially when Xia Jingui saw Xiangling shrinking behind Baochai, she tried to maintain a calm expression on her face.Xia Jingui looked at Xiangling: "Xiangling, have you taken care of your body these days?"
This sentence made Baochai wonder if Xia Jingui knew about sending Xiangling to serve Xue Pan?So Baochai looked at Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue focused on Xia Jingui without responding to her daughter.Baochai frowned, Xia Jingui originally wanted to go out, but today she was here to pierce the window paper, so that they would know that she already knew that Xiangling was going to serve Xue Pan, lest they do things in front of her, always Secretly, it makes people feel stuffy.
So Xia Jingui sat down by herself, called Baochan in, and pointed to the things in Baochan's hand: "I went back to the village yesterday, and this is what my second aunt ordered to bring to my wife." Aunt Xue Without looking at what those things were, she said to Xia Jingui, "Thank you, Second Aunt, for me."
"My second aunt also said that when I saw my wife, I always called you sister-in-law, but now I'm going to call you my in-laws wife. It's really interesting to think about it." Xia Jingui laughed when she said that, Aunt Xue hurriedly apologized, Baochai Feeling like sitting on pins and needles, seeing that Xia Jingui could only speak but couldn't speak, the doubts in his heart deepened.
Xiangling wanted to leave quietly, but if she wanted to leave, she had to pass in front of Xia Jingui, Xiangling didn't dare to mess with Xia Jingui again.Xiangling's palms were sweating, and she was stirring the handkerchief quietly.
Although Xia Jingui was talking to Aunt Xue there, half of her heart was on Xiangling. Seeing Xiangling standing there looking pitiful with her head bowed, Xia Jingui couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Originally, Xiangling should be as tall as Miss Qianjin big.So Xia Jingui deliberately said: "By the way, there is one more thing, I'm afraid my wife doesn't know about it."
Saying that, Xia Jingui turned to Xiangling: "When I was in my mother's house, I heard about Xiangling's life experience. I thought, now that the uncle is also in prison, I might as well find Xiangling's relatives and let Xiangling go back to his hometown. It didn't delay her."
The rest of the people thought it was 12 strange. Aunt Xue stood there in a daze and didn't know what to say. Baochai had already said to Xia Jingui: "Sister-in-law, you don't know something. Back then..."
"Back then, Xiangling was also the daughter of a good family, but she was abducted by a kidnapper, and that kidnapper was not her father." Xia Jingui's words made Xiangling burst into tears, did she find her relatives?My father has wandered away, and my mother lives with my grandfather, even if I find relatives, it's the same rootless duckweed, wandering everywhere.Xiangling had to work hard to control herself so that she would not cry.
Baochai frowned: "Sister-in-law, what should I say..."
"No matter what, it was judged by an official, but that is because the Xue family is very powerful." Xia Jingui's words made Baochai unable to say anything else. Baochai looked at Xiangling, saw her face was full of tears, Baochai asked softly after a little thought Xiangling: "Since sister-in-law said so, Xiangling, would you like to go back to your hometown and look for your relatives?"
Xiangling felt that her legs and feet were not her own, so she just knelt down numbly, so what if she found it, so what if she couldn't find it, but things are different, everything is different.
Aunt Xue became anxious when she heard Baochai say this: "Baochai, you can't say that. It's settled. Xiangling will go to the prison to serve your brother. If I can give birth to a son and a half daughter, I will have a good life." consolation."
"Mom." Seeing Aunt Xue telling the truth, Baochai hurriedly tried to stop her. Xia Jingui only looked at Xiangling. Although she knew that Xiangling would not be able to return to her hometown, the sadness and sighs in Xia Jingui's heart at this moment were real. , this rootless girl like duckweed can't help herself to decide whether to go or stay.
Baochai only remembered to stop Aunt Xue, but didn't notice Xia Jingui's eyes gradually becoming sad when she looked at Xiangling.Aunt Xue heard Baochai stop her after she finished speaking, and she knew she was wrong, so she apologized to Xia Jingui and said with a smile: "Grandma, you will know about this sooner or later. When Xiangling gives birth to a child, you are the aunt. You are the one to take it up and raise it. Xiangling is a well-behaved girl, from now on you..."
Aunt?Xia Jingui sneered, and looked up at Aunt Xue: "Xiangling, she is not an object."
Baochai and Aunt Xue were both stunned by these words, and Xiangling fell to the ground in tears. This sentence completely overwhelmed Xiangling. From the day she was abducted, she is not a person, but an object, whoever likes it can do it. bought myself.Not even a tiny bit of hope is left to myself.Xiangling never cares about what is fighting for favor or what is fighting, nor does she care about it.Even if there is a fight between objects, they can be easily abandoned.
After Xia Jingui finished that sentence, he didn't know what to say, how to talk about personal rights with a group of ancients. This is the era when masters and slaves are legal, and this is also the era of class division.The difference between good and bad is like a ravine.Xia Jingui was silent for a long time before turning her eyes away from Xiangling: "Xiangling is going to serve the uncle, then go, if you can give birth to a boy and a half girl, then give birth, just don't say that I am the aunt, don't say anything If you want me to raise the child. I didn't have the child and I don't want to raise it."
Saying that Xia Jingui stood up, Baochai reluctantly said: "Sister-in-law, you are the first mother, besides the rules..."
"Don't talk to me about rules or irregularities." Xia Jingui stood there, looked at Baochai, and said in a slightly annoyed voice, "Rules are not made for me." After saying that, Xia Jingui lifted the curtain and went out.
Only then did Aunt Xue pat her heart, and said to Baochai, "Look, she..."
Before he finished speaking, the curtain was raised again, Xia Jingui stood at the door and looked at the people inside: "Also, what are you going to do in the future, just say it openly, it looks disgusting if you hide your head and show your tail." After finishing speaking, Xia Jingui closed the curtain Toss and walk away.Aunt Xue asked her daughter cautiously: "Tell me, what does your sister-in-law mean by saying these words?"
☆, powerless
Baochai looked at the still turbulent door curtain, and shook her head at Aunt Xue, not understanding, not knowing, but Baochai felt that it seemed that it was not jealousy, and even Xia Jingui didn't take Xue Pan to heart at all, and didn't care at all. Who gave birth to Xue Pan's child.This sister-in-law has indeed changed a lot.
Baochai took a deep breath and helped Xiangling up: "Get up, you heard what your grandma said just now, if you want to go or stay, it's up to you." Xiangling looked up at Baochai, her voice choked : "Girl, I don't want to lie to you, I want to go, but it's useless to go."
After speaking, Xiangling burst into tears, as if she wanted to cry away all her grievances and sorrows. This heart has died again and again, and it will never beat lively again.
Baochan followed Xia Jingui out of the door, heard Xiangling's crying from inside the house, and said to Xia Jingui: "Listen, grandma, Xiangling is still crying right now, I must think that grandma, you are uneasy and kind. "Xia Jingui couldn't tell the ancients what he was depressed about. After all, in their hearts, such things were taken for granted. Masters enjoy blessings and slaves suffer.It's all predestined, Xia Jingui told himself countless times that this is normal, and his luck is pretty good, finally wearing Xia Jingui's body instead of Xiangling's.
But knowing it is one thing, wanting to change but being powerless is another. This feeling is too aggrieved for Xia Jingui to accept.
After all, he is not an ancient person, Xia Jingui wanted to laugh at himself, but felt his face was wet.Stretching out his hand to touch it, I don't know when, tears are streaming down my face.
Baochan looked at Xia Jingui in amazement, it was not that she had never seen Xia Jingui cry, but this time, Xia Jingui was really sad, could it be that Grandma was sad because of Xiangling?Baochan murmured in his heart, and quietly looked at Aunt Xue's upper room, Xiangling's crying didn't stop, and Xia Jingui couldn't wipe away the tears in his eyes.
"Grandma, you..." After standing in the courtyard for a while, Baochan finally dared to speak to Xia Jingui. Xia Jingui wiped the tears from his eyes again with his hand, forcing himself to calm down.Baochan saw that Xia Jingui was only wiping away tears with his hands and didn't speak, he thought for a while and said: "Grandma, why don't I go in and tell my wife, just say, you don't want Miss Xiangling, and you want Miss Xiangling back."
As Baochan said, he was about to run towards the upper room, but Xia Jingui reached out and grabbed his sleeve as soon as he took a step.Xia Jingui's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat: "No need, no need to go, I..." Since there is nothing I can do, then only when nothing happened, Xia Jingui felt that tears were coming out of his eyes again, and forced himself to swallow them , and continued: "In the future, don't mention this matter again."
Baochan was bewildered by Xia Jingui's words, he just nodded blankly, Xiangling's crying stopped at some point, the curtain moved slightly, Baochai walked out of the room, and saw Xia Jingui's master and servant standing under the steps, Baochan Just as Chai was about to say hello to Xia Jingui, she saw Xia Jingui's face covered with tears, Baochai raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Baochan.
Baochan shook his head blankly, and saw Xia Jingui let go of Baochan's sleeve and walked up the steps.Baochai still thought that Xia Jingui was looking for trouble for herself, so she leaned back slightly, Xia Jingui stopped a step away from Baochai, and looked at the woman in front of her who was regarded by countless people as the best wife.From the very beginning, she was for the Xue family, for the brother who failed to live up to expectations, to comfort her mother, take care of the housework, and liven up the vivacity that youth should have, grinding it into a pool of stagnant water.
Countless people sympathized with Li Wan's ancient well, but few people sympathized with Baochai's stagnant pool, and some even regarded her as the murderer who killed Lin Daiyu.However, Baochai herself has never made an active choice about her own destiny.She is passive, and the good wind sends me to the blue sky by force, and it is always foreign objects pushing her.Baochai's misfortune is not that she was young and widowed, but her misfortune is that she did not say a word about her own destiny from beginning to end.
"Sister-in-law, this is..." Baochai was taken aback by the way Xia Jingui looked at her, which clearly expressed sighs and sympathy.After a long time, Baochai said this to Xia Jingui. Xia Jingui stretched out her hand to stop Baochai from continuing, but said to Baochai, "Girl, if you can think less about the Xue family, but think about yourself , not, not, not, not..."
Seeing Baochai's expression change from astonishment to surprise, and then to calm again, Xia Jingui knew that her words were actually useless, and Baochai would still put herself last for the sake of the Xue family.It's not that Aunt Xue doesn't love her daughter, but she loves her son even more. She is a person who can push her daughter to charge and even use her daughter to fill holes for her son.
Xia Jingui suddenly laughed, a bit bleakly, it was a tragedy, so why try to change it.Xue Baochai's fate has been doomed since she showed her intelligence when she was young. Her father's training for her has always hoped to use this daughter to exchange for the well-being of the whole family.As for Baochai, she accepted such an arrangement when she was very young, or in other words, she never tried to understand another life.
In this way, Daiyu's early death is not a comedy. In this world, her parents love her, she has loved and been loved by others. Except for her short life span, she has no regrets in her life.
"Girl, take care." Xia Jingui turned around and walked down the steps after leaving such an inexplicable sentence. Baochan, who was waiting at the bottom of the steps, hurriedly followed her when she saw Xia Jingui coming down.Baochai stood on the porch, watching Xia Jingui's master and servant disappear, her brows were tightly frowned, and it took a long time before Baochai sighed softly.
How could he not plan for the Xue family?A woman's honor and disgrace all her life is in her husband's family. As long as she lives by herself, she has to plan for Xue's and Jia's.
"Girl, what does Grandma mean?" Ying'er, who witnessed the whole process but couldn't ask Baochai, asked Baochai curiously. I'm afraid I'm a little annoyed when I hear that Xiangling is going to serve her brother in prison, but this is a big deal, and my sister-in-law can't stop it."
"Grandma's temper is still the same, it hasn't changed at all." Ying'er said this with some dissatisfaction, Baochai glanced at Ying'er: "Let's go, let's go back, your second master is much better these days, wait a little longer In the days to come, I persuaded the second master to study hard."
"Second Lord knows everything. I'll see. I'm afraid he's studying, so he needs you to watch over him." Ying'er's words made Baochai smile again. You can become an official without going to the scientific examination, and you can see the path of this life.
Xia Jingui ran into the room quickly, and Baochan, who was following behind, was about to call Grandma, when Xia Jingui picked up a mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly Xia Jingui smashed the mirror to the ground hard.Baochan was startled, seeing the mirror fell to the ground and broke in two, Xia Jingui wanted to pick it up again.
Baochan hurriedly shouted: "Grandma, put it down, leave it to me to clean up. Grandma, since you are angry today, why don't you go with your wife..."
Xia Jingui glanced at Baochan coldly, Baochan shut up obediently, Xia Jingui laughed suddenly, Baochan was even more flustered now, this grandma burst into tears and laughed again, could it be that she was bewitched, do you want to Go tell your wife and find a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits?
Suddenly Xia Jingui stopped laughing, and then he heard Xia Jingui talking to himself: "I know, I can't stop it, nothing can change it, all I can do is my own destiny." Do it again, and then leave from Xue's house. When the time comes, all the Xue's and Jia's will go away, and the aunt and grandma will go to live their own good life.
Baochan had already cleaned up all the glass shards on the ground, and she didn't understand what Xia Jingui said. She took a peek at Xia Jingui and heard Xia Jingui say: "Okay, it's okay, let's go back tomorrow and look at that place." A newly leased house."
This grandma changed her face really fast today, of course Baochan only dared to mutter in his heart, but still respectfully said: "Then grandma, do you want to pass on dinner? There is a new sweet-scented osmanthus brew in the kitchen."
"Yes, prepare a pot for me. Also, I don't want to fry the bones for wine. You go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare some salted duck eggs for me. Don't peel or cut them. Just send them here and fry them for me." A plate of peanuts." Baochan was intimidated by Xia Jingui's request, how could people's tastes change so quickly?But seeing Xia Jingui staring at him with beautiful eyes, Baochan still didn't dare to say anything, so he went to prepare these for Xia Jingui.
Serving wine with fried peanuts and salted duck eggs was Xia Yuee's father's hobby during his lifetime. At that time, Xia Yuee hated her father's hobby very much. I ate happily with a sip of wine, and occasionally fried peanuts with chopsticks.
However, after her father passed away, whenever she encountered any troubles, Xia Yue'e would still imitate her father, sip salted duck eggs and sip wine. There is an upright person standing there who will not fall down.
When Baochan brought all the food and wine, Xia Jingui knocked the big head of the salted duck egg and poked it with chopsticks, the duck egg oil inside burst out, Xia Jingui's tears fell again, Dad, your daughter is definitely not a Intimidating people.Once you make a decision, you won't regret it, will you?
Xia Jingui comforted herself and poured out a glass of wine from the pot. The sweet-scented osmanthus was very sweet, with only a slight taste of wine. The tears in Xia Jingui's eyes slowly disappeared, leaving only perseverance.
☆, determined
Seeing Xia Jingui's way of eating salted duck eggs, Baochan's eyes almost popped out. Xia Jingui didn't care about Baochan, thinking that the wine glass was too small, so he simply picked up the jug and poured it into his mouth. There seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes, but Xia Jingui's eyes became clearer.Xia Jingui put down the jug, dropped the salted duck eggs, picked up the peanuts, rubbed off the outer skin of the peanuts, and slowly put the peanuts into his mouth without even looking at Baochan: "Baochan, in a few days, I will Find your family, you go out."
"Grandma, you, I..." Baochan didn't know whether it was good news or bad news, watching Xia Jingui's incoherent speech.Xia Jingui gently blew the peanut skin off her palm, stood up and walked in front of Baochan: "Baochan, don't say anything about being loyal or not, I know you want to live a life of prosperity and wealth, but there are some things that are not just what you want. can have."
Baochan was frightened by Xia Jingui's words, and hurriedly knelt down to Xia Jingui: "Grandma, I, I..."
"There's no need to explain. Baochan, I won't treat you badly, and I won't say anything worth money, and I will prepare a dowry for you. Baochan, I shouldn't have given you to the uncle and harmed Xiangling. Now I'm awake, what's the point of these things? In the back house, you fight over trivial matters, and you just stumble over them because of how well the men treat you. Speaking of such things is just to provoke people joke."
Why did Xia Jingui understand every single word that Xia Jingui said, but when put together, he didn't understand it at all?Besides, before Xia Jingui got married, she told herself, how can there be rules of being a concubine without a grandma in the house?He also told himself that if the son-in-law took a fancy to him, he would share the glory and wealth together, and he must make sure that the beautiful concubine has no place to stand.But what he said now is completely opposite to what he said before.
"Grandma..." Baochan felt that he was getting more confused, and Xia Jingui had already sighed softly: "I'm tired today, I have to rest, Baochan, go down. Think carefully about what I said, in life, you have to do something. There are so many things to do, it’s not just about striving for favor and climbing the ladder.”
Baochan answered in a daze, and then Xia Jingui said again: "Besides, Baochan, it's not that I look down on you. A servant girl is a servant girl after all, and even if she climbs higher, the master is still the master."
Baochan really understood what she said, she was about to stand up, and threw herself in front of Xia Jingui: "Grandma, I understand what you mean, I beg you, don't chase the little one away. Grandma, I'm for you..."
Baochan couldn't say the rest of the words when he saw Xia Jingui's eyes. Xia Jingui didn't just talk, she really thought so.Baochan lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs: "Grandma, since I was sold into Xia's family, I have only been able to serve people since I was a child, and I can't do other jobs at all. Besides, if my parents can sell me once, they can sell me." My second time. Grandma, please, I..."
"Oh, you didn't want to go out because you don't know anything?" Xia Jingui really didn't think about it, and Baochan's expression became even more pitiful: "Grandma, don't you know why you are asking? We girls who follow How can the maid who is doing fine work by her side know how to do those rough jobs."
The personal maids of rich and noble families are more respected than some girls from poor families. Xia Jingui tilted her head slightly, and then said to Baochan: "This is the truth, and I have forgotten it. It's just by my side. It’s no good for you. Baochan, you are smart, but your cleverness has never been used on the right path, and you are not as stupid as Xiao She’er.”
"Grandma, I..." Baochan still wanted to explain a few words, but his lips moved there a few times, and he didn't speak anymore.Xia Jingui smiled again: "I will leave you at Xue's house, and Xiangling will serve the uncle. If you become pregnant, you will take care of her. After giving birth, you..."
Stay at Xue's house?Grandma is leaving the Xue family?Baochan's mind was spinning quickly, and he came to a conclusion, and he was stunned. Xia Jingui looked at Baochan and said, "Yes, just as you think, Baochan, I am different from before. And I am also Don't be afraid to tell your wife."
After a pause, Xia Jingui continued: "No one can stop what I want to do. No matter how difficult it is, I must do it."
No matter what method is used, it must be done, and it can be done.Baochan couldn't say another word, seeing Xia Jingui waving his hand, Baochan stood up numbly and walked out of the room numbly.The sun had already set, and all the houses were already lit. Baochan looked at the unlit room behind him.
Just now Xia Jingui's words sounded in his ears again, and Baochan felt chills all over his body for no reason, Xia Jingui has always had his own way since he was a child, but Baochan has been serving her since he was a child, and he knows that she is only superficially shrewd, but inwardly she is confused. Just a few words of instigation by people can be the same as a block of explosive charcoal.Even when Baochan wanted to seduce Xue Pan, he didn't put Xia Jingui in his eyes, and relied on his own mental means to treat Xue Pan like a puppy. When he gave birth to a son, The Xue family will still be in his hands.
However, Xia Jingui's eyes and words just now let Baochan know that this Xia Jingui is no longer the Xia Jingui she used to be. She has a purpose and a means, which far exceeds all her calculations.It seems that the gods have seen that the past ten years have been too smooth for me, so I want to give myself a warning.Baochan gave a wry smile, Xia Jingui was not afraid at all even if she went to inform her, Aunt Xue couldn't even deal with the original Xia Jingui, let alone this Xia Jingui who was much more difficult than before, she was afraid that with a few words, this Xia Jingui could make Aunt Xue live herself kill.
She didn't even need Aunt Xue to come forward, she could order herself to be beaten to death.Baochan sighed softly, until now, there is no way to go except to follow all instructions of this Xia Jingui.
After thinking about it, Baochan realized that he didn't sleep very well that night.However, Xia Jingui slept very soundly. Once she figured it out, nothing could stop her.Waking up early the next morning, after freshening up, Xia Jingui took Baochan back to Xia's house. Seeing Baochan's pale face, Xia Jingui knew what he said last night, so Baochan listened seriously.
Xia Jingui snorted coldly, and Baochan almost jumped up because of such a cold snort for no apparent reason. Seeing the fear in Baochan's eyes, Xia Jingui stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, jokingly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of you very well. As long as you are obedient and obedient. I am the least, and I will let your wife live this life peacefully."
Baochan stretched out his hand and patted his heart. There was a question he had been wanting to ask since last night: "You, if you are like this, why did you leave the Xue family? When Miss Ling gives birth to a boy and a half girl, you will also be the aunt, and then..."
"I'm not that stupid, so I don't want to be buried with you. Besides, the world is so big, I want to see it." What Xia Jingui left behind made Baochan not understand again. Her brows were tightly frowned, and Xia Jingui tapped her forehead: "Don't think about it, you can't figure it out. There are many things in this world, so interesting, they are much more interesting than men and women arguing for bits and pieces. Here, help me down."
Baochan let out a bewildered oh, jumped out of the car and raised the curtain to help Xia Jingui get out of the car, the words just now were in his ears again, what about men and women, what about fighting over trivial matters, but people live in this world, isn't it just for these things?Is there anything more interesting than these?
While Baochan was still thinking about it, the housekeeper at the gate of Xia's house had already greeted him: "Greetings to my aunt, the younger one and the third master went to see several houses yesterday, and the third master has reserved two houses, and I have to invite my aunt and wife to go. Please refer to the details."
Very good, the butler is very winking, and after only one night, he understood who the real masters of the Xia family are. Xia Jingui likes to deal with such smart people. Xia Jingui smiled at the butler: "What are these two houses? The place? Does my mother already know?”
"Just now..." Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Mrs. Xia's voice sounded behind her: "Jingui, what are you talking to them outside? These houses are still..."
Second Uncle Xia is really a loyal person, otherwise he would have eaten up Mr. Xia's property long ago, instead of leaving it to Mrs. Xia to lose. Xia Jingui once again expressed his powerlessness to Mrs. Xia's IQ and temper before entering The yard said to Mrs. Xia: "You and your brother live in the mother's house, so you must go there first to make a decision. Also, although I can take out the money for renting the house in the first two months, in the long run, my brother still needs to take it over." Only by doing business and paying debts can we live on. Mom, don’t you think so?”
After being coaxed by Xia Jingui, Mrs. Xia lost her anger when she saw Xia Jingui talking to the housekeeper just now. She glanced at Xia Jingui and said, "Okay, okay, what you said is right. Let's go. Your brother has been waiting for you here for almost a morning." Xia San stood behind Mrs. Xia, nodding and bowing to Xia Jingui. Xia Jingui nodded to Xia San as a gift, and the family went to see the house.
These two houses are not far from the original house, and it doesn't take long to walk there.After Xia Jingui and Mrs. Xia Xia San looked at it, they agreed that there was an unfurnished house with a front and back yard, a well and a horse stable inside. Of course, the reason why Xia Jingui chose this house was that the There is also an osmanthus tree in the small courtyard on the east side of the house.Since the Xia family is famous for its sweet-scented osmanthus business, it would be better to choose a house with sweet-scented osmanthus trees.
Seeing Xia Jingui reaching out to touch the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, his eyes were joyful.Sam Xia had already smiled and said, "My sister also likes this Chang'e flower? I wanted to settle this yard yesterday, but I didn't think I could make the decision without asking my sister and mother first."
