Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 47
The next morning, after Jiang Zhixia had breakfast, he asked Uncle He to go to the dim sum shop and bought a very delicate high-end dim sum with a gift box.

Seeing that the sun was coming up, Jiang Zhixia knocked on Aunt Li's door with a gift box of snacks.

Aunt Li came out to answer the door, and was very surprised to see Jiang Zhixia.

After all, today is different from the past.On weekdays, it doesn't matter how the two families communicate, but now that the two families are talking about getting married, it is a bit presumptuous to communicate like this.

"Hello, aunt. I wonder if there are any guests at aunt's house? Is it convenient for me to come and talk to aunt?" Zhixia first asked politely.

"No, there are no guests. It's convenient, convenient to talk." Aunt Li replied involuntarily when she heard Zhixia's words.

"I came today because I wanted to have a private chat with my aunt. Please find a quiet place, so we two can have a good talk." Jiang Zhixia didn't care about Aunt Li's surprise, and still politely thought of herself. Say what you said.

"This, this...Okay. Zhixia come in with me." After being surprised, Aunt Li led Zhixia to her backyard.

Aunt Li's house is similar to that of Jiang Zhixia's house. It is also a long and narrow courtyard with two entrances.The size and layout of the house are also very similar to Zhixia's.

Jiang Zhixia followed Aunt Li to the corner door in the backyard, looked at the east wing and the living room, and saw that the doors were all closed.

Seeing Zhixia's gaze, Aunt Li hurriedly explained: "Today, Xian'er said that there was a classmate's reunion, so he went to attend, and he was not at home. I was the only one at home. It was very convenient to talk."

Aunt Li was too surprised at the door just now, so she didn't think carefully about Jiang Zhixia's words.

Now, after walking this distance, she has come to her senses.

I understood that Jiang Zhixia should have something important to tell her, so I asked if there were any guests at home, and asked if he could find a convenient and quiet place to talk.Therefore, she hurriedly stated that she was the only one at home, so that Zhixia could rest assured.

After Jiang Zhixia heard this, he nodded with a smile, and said, "I have been neighbors with my aunt for so long, and I have never been to her house, so I have a look at her house."

Having lived here for so long, Jiang Zhixia naturally heard many stories from Aunt Li.

A long time ago, Aunt Li's house and Zhixia's house belonged to the Wei family, and they were the ancestral houses passed down from generation to generation.

Later, in the generation of Wei Zhuxian's grandfather, because Wei Zhuxian's grandfather was not good at managing the family business, the family situation gradually declined.

Therefore, the Wei family added a thick and tall courtyard wall in the middle of the house, separating them into two courtyards.He sold one of the sets to a relative of the Wei family—that is, the old scholar who sold the house to Zhixia.

Relying on the money from selling the house, Wei Zhuxian's father worked hard to study, and when he was in his 30s, he won the Juren. Unfortunately, he was not selected as a good official, and died in depression within two years.

Both Wei Zhuxian's grandfather and father were worried about what happened next to the ancestral house.

Therefore, when he was dying, he also taught future generations to take the imperial examination well, and then bought the ancestral house back.

After Aunt Li became a widow, she relied on the leftover house sale money and savings, as well as doing some needlework on weekdays to earn money to support her son to study and become a scholar.

After Wei Zhuxian was admitted as a scholar, he could go to the government office to receive money.Their family's condition is gradually getting better, it's more than enough than the last.

Aunt Li led Jiang Zhixia to the small living room in the backyard, asked Zhixia to sit down, and poured her another cup of tea.

Jiang Zhixia put the exquisite dim sum gift box on the table, pushed it in front of Aunt Li, and said with a smile: "It's so close, but I haven't paid a formal visit to Auntie's house. Please keep this kindness."

Aunt Li looked at the exquisite snack box, but she was really surprised.

"Zhixia, you are too polite. We have been neighbors for so long, why should we be so polite?" Aunt Li declined, this thing is not cheap at first glance, it probably costs several taels of silver, right?

"Don't say no, auntie. I came today to tell auntie what's on my mind. Only if auntie accepts it, I dare to open my mouth." Jiang Zhixia insisted that auntie Li accept it. with.

Aunt Li saw that Xia was so determined, so she agreed to accept it.

"Since Zhixia moved to this alley, she was the first to get acquainted with the aunt," Jiang Zhixia first played the emotional card, "After I came out of the palace, I didn't know the place where I was born, and many people were not very sophisticated. I understand. Thanks to my aunt’s patient teaching, I know those secular etiquettes. Thanks to my aunt’s frequent reminders, I know what to prepare in autumn and what to buy in winter, so that I won’t be in a hurry when it’s the season. Thank you aunt.”

Jiang Zhixia stood up and bowed deeply to thank him.

I hope that I said so many words of gratitude and made such a foreshadowing before, so that I can reduce the unhappiness of my aunt being rejected later.

Although, if you tell your own reasons, you can definitely be understood, but, face, face, the people of the time are really too good at face.

Aunt Li was a little confused by Jiang Zhixia's formal routine.

Is this to please her future mother-in-law?
Waiting to get married and make yourself better for her?

After all, nowadays, it is only natural for a mother-in-law to order her daughter-in-law to serve her, and it is common for a mother-in-law to torture her daughter-in-law.

"You don't have to be polite, Zhixia. Don't worry, we've been neighbors for so long, and you also know that I'm not a wicked person, and I won't torture my daughter-in-law." Aunt Li hurriedly assured Zhixia.

When Jiang Zhixia heard that Mrs. Li had misunderstood, she thought she was trying to curry favor with her as a future daughter-in-law, so she hurriedly said, "Thanks to Mrs. Li's love, I also entrusted the official media to make a kiss. Zhixia is very grateful for Mrs. Li's sincerity."

Jiang Zhixia wants to be positive first, so he hastened to say a few more good words, and will issue a "good person card" later.

"This is really too polite." Aunt Li said with a smile.

In his heart, he thought to himself, as expected, he came out of the palace, so he knew the rules.

"However, I'm sorry, I can't marry your son." Jiang Zhixia continued.

"What?" This time it was Aunt Li's turn to be restless. She stood up from her seat and asked with a changed face, "Why don't you marry? What's wrong with my son?"

"It's not that Brother Wei is bad. Brother Wei is young and promising, has a noble character, is gentle and elegant, and is full of talent..." Jiang Zhixia can't wait to say all the compliments he knows.

It's a pity that seeing Aunt Li's angry look, my mind was stunned, and I couldn't think of more words, so I hurried to talk about the business, for fear that I would be scolded if I said it too late, "I have something to hide."

"What unspeakable secret?" Aunt Li asked angrily.

I just thought it was Jiang Zhixia's excuse.

"Yes, yes, it's because I'm in poor health and can't bear children." Jiang Zhixia hurriedly said the key points.

After finishing speaking, Zhixia covered her face with a handkerchief, and said in a crying voice: "Brother Wei is the only son of three generations, and he has the important task of passing on the family line. I dare not delay Brother Wei. Huh, huh..."

After hearing this, Aunt Li stopped in surprise, and her anger dissipated immediately.
