Chapter 519: A Slap
Xiao accompanied Princess An to visit the child in Daoxiangju, Zhiqing and Musk Yue invited the two wives to sit by the window outside, and the nurse came out with the baby in her arms.
Xiao Shi took it and stared at his grandson, full of joy, Princess An praised a few words and said, "I'll go in and see Ning Xue." ”
When I entered the back room, I saw Mu Ningxue with a white forehead wrapped around her forehead, wearing a milky white padded jacket, and she was sewing a moon white satin embroidered with a needle and a thread.
Princess An hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You are in confinement, it is difficult to move." Yo, what a delicate job, don't be too tired to sit down and get sick. ”
Mu Ningxue said: "There's nothing to do lying down all day, I'll rest for a while after a few stitches, it's okay." ”
Seeing that the children's eyebrows, folds, and posture were embroidered very vividly, and the colors were also evenly and bright, Princess An was full of praise and said: "It's really amazing, it's comparable to the best craftsmanship of the Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop." ”
Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "Not to mention at home, there are more people around me who are better at craftsmanship than me, look at Xiangling's craftsmanship." ”
Princess An took it and took a look, it was a small dress for the child, with colored threads to form nearly a hundred red bats the size of a sycamore, a flower was embroidered with the word "longevity", the workmanship was extremely small and exquisite, and the colored thread could not see what color it was, red and black, white and bright, very strange and beautiful.
Princess An asked, "What color is this thread?" ”
Mu Ningxue said: "It's really difficult for her, this is a new top fine silk thread produced in Liaodong, which sticks red, black and white and silk threads together, so it has such a color." ”
Princess An praised: "What a clever child, rare." ”
At the same time, Xiao Yushi explained to Zhu Qiaoqiao: "The money in and out is under Zhiqing's control, regardless of the sister-in-law's head and the outside income, all the accounts in the Beijing shop and the birds, beasts, fish and trees in the inner and outer gardens, giving money and medicine, and human relations. The items of a large amount of silver should probably be reported to Zhiqing.
I am in charge of clothes and jewelry, clothes for the four seasons, monthly money and food for men and women inside and outside, repairs and utensils, salaries for men outside, and oil and rice for lamps and lamps in various temples, as well as social expenses of relatives and friends on weekdays.
Sister Yuelan and Sister Zhulan are in charge of the daily food and beverages in the internal and external kitchens, utensils, and the land of the grange. Real estate rent, paper flowers and plants, birthday to the grave, firewood, rice, bamboo charcoal, etc.
Qingwen and Musk Moon are in charge of the four seasons inside and outside the furnishings, lanterns, calligraphy and painting, antiques, tea and wine, small vegetables and fruits, house repair, pollen needlework, screen stage, pergola fireworks and so on. Other items are also responsible for special personnel, and the eldest sister is always reimbursed every three months. ”
After speaking, Xiao Yushi raised her hand and brushed her sideburns, and said with a wry smile: "I only helped the director this year, I don't know anything, and I don't know much about family affairs." Sister-in-law, don't laugh. ”
Zhu Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "If you can say it so clearly, it can be seen that you are also a caring person." Like you have power, the following will naturally try their best to use the right people. There are many negligences that someone will tell you in time, and you don't understand to ask, so you don't have to be too modest, the more this is the case, the more people below will kick their noses in the face. The steward can't be blindly harmonious, and he must pay equal attention to grace and power.
In fact, if you do your best in everything, you will be considered a mistake. The ancestors and wives above are kind-hearted and will not blame, and Hao'er and his wife are the most considerate of the people below, unlike my intolerant nature, which makes people panic and disgusted all day long. ”
Xiao Yushi said with deep feelings: "When my sister-in-law is at home, everyone complains a little, and my sister-in-law is not at home, and my eldest sister is pregnant. More and more appreciate how good you are at home. ”
Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled: "Oops! Even the sweet mouth of the coaxing dead man has learned? You don't have to flatter me, as long as there is the great god Hao'er in this house, there will never be chaos. He is now not threatening to make trouble from below, and it is just a trivial matter, and it really touches the point where he can't bear it, and no one must think about it at that time, you wait and see. ”
In the outer study, Xu Hao frowned and listened to Xu Jiang's crying, while Xu Hai looked at his younger brother with sympathy, shaking his head and sighing frequently.
After listening to what happened to his younger brother, Xu Hao knew that the means used by his younger brother and sister to deal with him in the future could not escape the tricks that those women in the house had used indiscriminately, but they were often the most effective.
It turned out that last night the cave room was full of candles, and the couple undressed and undressed, and the Fu family was tall and big, and Xu Jiang was short and that thing was also a trumpet, and because of the nervousness, it was over in less than a few clicks, so that the Fu family didn't even taste it.
That's it, but Xu Jiang is not happy to be happy with his wife from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't say some funny things to the wedding girls early in the morning.
People didn't say anything, and they didn't respond to him when they smiled, Xu Jiang thought he had affection and love, and took out a means to seduce Jin Gui, stepped forward to touch his little hands, smelled the fragrance, and gradually became bolder.
It is also Xu Jiang who thinks that the dowry girl should be his person, and he has no scruples, and when he is alone with a girl, he hugs his ass from behind and wants to do some amorous deeds.
He couldn't wait to say: "Good sister, while there is no one, let's get our wish here." ”
I don't want Fu Shi to come over quietly, it was a big slap in the face to him, thinking that Xu Jiang has been beaten on his ass since he was born, but no one has really touched him in the head.
This slap made him dizzy, fainted for a while, and when he looked back, it turned out to be his wife, and he covered his face in shame and pain and ran out and hid in Aunt Wang's room.
Aunt Wang was waiting for the little couple to come out together, so that they could serve tea to the old lady, when she suddenly saw the red and purple half of her son's face, and was startled and hurriedly asked why.
At first, Xu Jiang refused to speak, but then cried with tears, and Aunt Wang realized that she was beaten by her daughter-in-law. To say that I also mistakenly believed the matchmaker's words at the beginning, and coveted other people's wealth, I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to be so tall and ugly.
Last night, I was complained a few words behind my back, saying that you didn't inquire about it, and married such a daughter-in-law into the house, and lost all the face of the third room, Jiang'er was cheated by you, the mother.
Now that the raw rice is cooked and matured, Aunt Wang is helpless, her son's face has been clocked, if you want to blame your daughter-in-law, I am afraid that the old man will complain if he knows the truth, and then the son is at fault first.
Distressed is distressed, and Aunt Wang can only say: "Who told you to do things that don't grow?" If you're serious, will she dare to hit you? If she dares to bully you for no reason. I'm also easy to talk to. Well, don't you give your daughter-in-law a company, it's time to go to the front yard. ”
In this way, Xu Jiang held his stomach and ran to the third brother to complain, shouting that he was going to divorce his wife. Without waiting for Xu Hao to speak, Xu Hai said: "It's not right for her to beat you, but even the saint can't control the affairs between this husband and wife." Your mother is right, if you are serious, people will beat you? ”
Xu Jiang shouted, "Why did she beat me? How can the Xu family tolerate such a shrew, third brother, you send someone to drive her home. I don't think anyone will dare to say a word. ”
Xu Hao said angrily: "Are you a bully for me?" This marriage is your mother's decision, your father and third aunt nodded and agreed, which onion am I? The marriage of the two of you is protected by the Ming Law, and it is your fault that you hook up with the maid without the permission of your wife, and it is your fault to go to court, and you will divorce someone as soon as you get married, I can't do this lack of morality. You bear with it first, you have to look at the temperament of your younger siblings. ”
Xu Jiang covered his face aggrievedly and said, "But I'm afraid of her to death now." What if she beats me up when I go back? ”
Xu Hao shook his head and said, "That's all you have to offer, what are you doing beating you for no reason?" You go back right away. Let her hit you and try? ”
Xu Jiang was overjoyed, with the support of the third brother, he was naturally not afraid of anything, and immediately ran out of the city with a shaking spirit.
Xu Hai said speechlessly: "Brother." You shouldn't indulge him, I also think it's good for my brother and sister to be stronger, at least I can restrain him on the right path, otherwise I'll be a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. ”
Xu Hao said: "That is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. Actually, I'm sympathetic to the sixth child, after all, it's not to your liking, if the couple can tolerate each other. Life can go on, but I'm afraid of beating and scolding all day long, so it's better to get together and disperse. ”
As he was talking, he heard a voice outside, "Is the third brother in the study?" ”
Suddenly, Xu Hao and Xu Hai looked at each other, so soon the Fu family was killed, there was no way, Xu Hao said cordially: "Come in." ”
I saw the Fu family, who looked taller and sturder than Xu Hao, walking in small steps, first saying a thousand blessings, and then choked up: "Shicai ran into her husband and bullied the girl, and we have a deep sisterhood, so we beat him in a hurry, and I feel very guilty, so I hereby apologize to my brother." ”
Judging from his face, he knew that this was a fiery character, so Xu Hao was not moved at all, and he had heard too many examples of being afraid of his wife over the years.
Fu can come to himself for the first time to apologize, it can be seen that she is a scheming woman, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person, and it is not easy to interfere with the affairs between husband and wife as an outsider. And as an elder, they all hope that the younger couple will live well, and their appearance is secondary, just like Xu Hai just said, if the Fu family can really discipline Xu Jiang honestly, absolutely everyone will favor her.
As for Xu Jiang's personal happiness, boom! It's not that you can't have sex with you, you have to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, can the men under the sky live?
Xu Hao didn't want to become an aunt in the neighborhood committee, and endlessly mediated the conflicts between husband and wife, and said bluntly: "I can't manage the affairs of the two of you and don't want to take care of it, no one will bother me in the future, I have to complain and apologize to the elders." Okay, here you go. ”
Unceremoniously gave the eviction order, and Fu turned around with a somewhat embarrassed face.
Xu Hai said with a smile: "It seems that brother, you are also judged by your appearance, and I have never seen you so rude." ”
"Nonsense." Xu Hao picked up the book, "She hit my brother, and I still smile at her?" Am I sick? ”
To say that Xu Jiang also deserves it, this kid doesn't have a long memory after being beaten, and when he passed by Haitang Garden, he ran to find Zhu Xianyuan.
The palace maid outside saw him coming and wanted to go in to report, Xu Jiang smiled and waved his hand, went around the corridor to the inner room, lifted the curtain and walked in.
Zhu Xianyuan was lying on a small rosewood rattan collapse, looking at the landscape map on the screen alone.
In the past few days, she occasionally felt cold and felt a little uncomfortable, so she didn't go out much, Xu Jiang came in and shouted, "Is my sister better?" ”
Zhu Xianyuan frowned slightly and looked at the painting and ignored it, Xu Jiang lowered his head and said, "Sister, I know that you blame me." If you listen to me, I will die willingly. As he spoke, he began to cry.
Zhu Xianyuan sat up and said, "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be the sixth master, isn't it the wrong house?" ”
Xu Jiang was very sad when he heard this, and knelt down in front of her with a whimpering cry. Zhu Xianyuan was startled, and hurriedly got up and shouted: "Come on, it's terrible, what's wrong with the sixth master of the Xu family?" ”
Seeing that someone was coming, Xu Jiang quickly put away his tears, covered his face and escaped. Unexpectedly, Fu happened to be looking at it, and sent someone to inquire only to find out that Lu Dao turned out to be the residence of a county lord.
After going back, Fu called all the girls over, asked them one by one what was going on, and took out five taels of silver.
At that moment, the person said secretly: "The young master likes the county lord very much, but the county lord seems to have no intention of him, and nothing else is clear." ”
Fu sneered: "He is also worthy? Okay, you Xu Jiang, marry me and worry about others, if the county lord gets along with you, won't you want to divorce me? You wait for me. ”
At night, Xu Jiang spent the whole day outside, and entered the room with his head down, and the slap really scared him.
Feeling that his wife was staring at him viciously, he was terrified, so he listened to Fu's order: "Take a spring stool and put it aside, and sleep on the stool from today on." (To be continued......)
