Chapter 247 Mid-Autumn Festival [Morning]
But he said that even though Xiuju got Jiao Shun's permission, she still couldn't eat or sleep well when she got home.
On August 15th, she got up before dawn and washed up miserably. As soon as she applied soap powder on her hands, she heard someone calling the door outside. When she curiously looked over, it was Ping'er who came looking for her in the dark.
So Xiuju hurriedly cleaned her hands and went out to inquire: "Why is sister Ping'er here at this time? Could it be that the second grandma has some errands?"
"This time it's not the Second Grandma who sent me the order, it's the Second Master who gave me the order."
Ping'er said with a smile: "The eldest master is out of seclusion today and will be in seclusion again the next day. It also coincides with the August Festival. Children should always go to greet them and say hello to show their filial piety - so I was specially asked to come
Let the second girl and Miss Xing know and ask them to go to Dongkua Courtyard to gather together as soon as possible."
Hearing that this was the matter, Xiuju quickly agreed.
But she couldn't help but wonder: "Sister Shan said that it was the second master who invited me. Could it be that the second grandma doesn't plan to go along?"
"Isn't this a preview for the wedding ceremony? The scene is quite big today. Our grandma is afraid that Grandma Zhen will be too busy by herself, so she plans to go there early to help with the inspection to avoid any mistakes."
"So that's what happened..."
Xiuju suddenly understood, and croaked a few words to Heping'er before watching her go away in front of the courtyard gate.
Although the conversation between the two people was not loud, it already alarmed Jia Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan in the hall.
First, Yingchun called Xiuju over to ask questions. After waiting for her to dress up, Xing Xiuyan was also asking what happened outside.
Xiuju picked up the curtain and came out. She first told her about going to Dongkua Courtyard to gather together. Then she changed the subject and thanked Xing Xiuyan profusely: "Thanks to Miss Biao for giving me some advice yesterday, I will wait for Sister Siqi to take off her clothes."
She's sleepy, I'll let her rest for a while!"
"Get up, get up!"
Xing Xiuyan quickly helped her up and asked, "According to what you mean, brother Jiao really agreed?"
"Uncle Jiao said we should do our best."
At this point, Xiuju couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "It's a waste of time that we have followed the second girl for so many years. We don't want to really encounter trouble. On the contrary, we are not as good as outsiders who know the cold and the hot!"
Xing Xiuyan couldn't answer this, so he could only rush to Dongkua Yard to gather them together, so as not to keep his cousin waiting.
So the cousins took the maid and mother-in-law and hurriedly met Jia Lian and Mrs. Xing, and then moved to the small Buddhist hall built for Jia's mother.
The whole family mobilized troops to welcome Jia She out. Their mouths and faces were full of joy, but no one actually came forward to get close to him.
Others just paid it back, and Mr. Xing also followed suit, with a forced smile on his face. It was clear that something was fishy.
Jia She also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly called Mr. Xing aside and asked, "Is there something wrong with the silver?"
"how come!"
Mrs.
"Then why are you so sad?"
"this……"
Ms.
Jia She was confused when he heard this and said in surprise: "What kind of IOU? When did I write him a loan...wait a minute!"
Halfway through, he realized what he was doing, grabbed Mr.
Seeing Ms.
How can the old lady be willing to accept the usury money?!"
"me……"
Ms.
How can he be willing to lend us money? It would be better for him to come to collect us in the future than to have Prince Zhongshun block the door to collect debts!"
Jia She thought it was true, so he pushed Mr. Xing away angrily and sneered: "That's true, so what if he has the handle? He is a slave, how dare he turn the world upside down?!"
After saying that, he flicked his robe sleeves and said with a dark face: "Let's go home with the master to take a shower and change clothes first!"
He finally got free, but he couldn't bear to stay in this Buddhist hall for a long time, so he strode ahead, leaving Xing and others behind.
While walking, he happened to bump into a girl with a double bun.
Although the little girl hurriedly lowered her head and neck and retreated to the side of the road, Jia She still got a clear look at her features. She immediately slowed down and waited for Mrs.
Whose maid is she? Although she is a little younger, she is still quite childish."
When Mr. Xing heard this, he naturally understood what he meant, and subconsciously wanted to call the maid to inquire about the details, so as to follow Jia She's thoughts.
I didn't want to embroider oranges but I recognized this maid. I was afraid that she would be entangled by Jia She, so I hurriedly stepped forward to remind her: "Madam, that is Xiaohong from Baoyu House."
Hearing that it was the maid in Baoyu House, Xing immediately stopped thinking and looked at Jia She in embarrassment.
"Hmph~ It's Baoyu again!"
Jia She secretly gritted his teeth. After all, he didn't dare to offend Jia Mu's heart, so he rushed towards the corner door in a hurry.
Although Xiaohong stayed aside, he still heard the reply clearly. Seeing the group of people leaving, he did not dare to stay here for a long time, and hurried to the gate inside Luding outside the second door.
room.
Lin Zhixiao's wife, Mrs. Liu, had been waiting inside. When she saw her daughter arriving, she immediately stepped aside, waiting to tell her what happened yesterday.
But Xiaohong didn't wait for her to speak, and rushed to say: "Why are you calling me in such a hurry, mom? I just accidentally bumped into the old man on the road, and he scared me so much!"
Mrs. Liu didn't know the danger, so she just raised her hand and pinched her daughter's smooth face, and said with a smile: "My son, of course it's good for my mother to call you here! I told my second mistress yesterday.
, after the festival, I propose that you take on Qingwen’s shortcomings."
"really?!"
Xiaohong was overjoyed when she heard this, but she couldn't believe it.
"Of course it is true, but Baoyu needs to see it in person."
Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter who was becoming more and more provocative in front of her, and said with a proud face: "But my son is so provocative, how can I be inconsistent with him?"
Hearing what she said, Xiaohong felt shy and happy for a while, but gradually a look of sadness appeared on her face. She pinched her sleeves and sighed: "So what if I fall in love? Like Qingwen, she was favored, but because she offended someone.
, they framed me and drove me out. If I were to take on such a position, I would be jealous of others."
"this……"
Mrs. Liu also stopped smiling, but turned around and reassured her daughter: "Our family is not that without roots. Just in front of my wife, your father and I are also a bit mean. How could we follow in Qingwen's footsteps?"
Xiaohong smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Those people in Mr. Bao's house are only interested in inviting favors, but they don't care about the depth of their foundation or the appearance of their eyebrows?!"
At this time, Mrs. Liu also became a little distressed and said hesitantly: "My son, if I rely on you, will I miss this rare opportunity?"
"I can't miss it in vain."
Xiao Hong pondered for a moment, then said to her mother: "Let's just wait for me to give it a try in the next few days. If it works, of course there is no need to say more. If they really can't tolerate me, let's discuss it later."
Mother and daughter discussed it carefully again, and then Xiaohong returned to Baoyu Courtyard.
The words are divided into two parts.
Besides, when Jia She returned home, he left Jia Lian and others outside and went inside to order someone to bring him fragrant soup to bathe in.
In the past, Mr. Xing would have to fight for such errands, let alone after being separated for more than ten days?
However, she just gave it to two young concubines.
If it's someone who knows the details, I'm afraid he will become suspicious.
But Jia She used to like the new and hate the old. After more than ten years, he had lost interest in the Xing family. It was only because of the reputation of his wife that he did not care about these details.
Now that he had two young and enchanting servants, he couldn't be happier. He didn't even bother to care about why Ms.
Is it possible to solve her problems?
Seeing that he never found anything, Mrs. Xing felt relieved, but also felt a little disappointed.
After all, they have been married for more than ten years. If there is anything strange about Jia She, she is afraid that she will notice it immediately.
