The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 23

Until Shen Shihu came out of the study, he still felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. The eldest lady looked at such a delicate figure, he looked like he could break a palm, and how he spoke so cleanly and without hesitation, it was really hard to admire. .

He just walked two or three steps with Mrs. Zheng, and before he reached the second gate, Ziyan from Xie Yujiao's room only chased him out and said, "Mother Zheng, the girl said, Liu Shen, brother, sit in the small living room outside for a while, let me Invite Aunt Shen to come over, let the two brothers and sisters meet and talk for a while."

At this time, Shen Shihu was only moved. If he just admired Xie Yujiao's brains and determination in major matters, then now these meticulous details have completely convinced this tall and big old man to concentrate on it. Died for her.

Shen Shihu waited in the small living room for a while, a servant girl came to bring tea and fruit, after a while Aunt Shen was also accompanied by the maid, and seeing Shen Shihu standing in front of him, he couldn't help but blushed and said: " Brother, are you all right?"

When he was a child, Shen Shihu loved this girl very much. Later, his family was really poor and could not live on the harvest from the field. Only then did he think about it. He went out to start a career and came back. The return of ten taels of silver can make the family a little more comfortable, but who knows that when she returns home, she hears that her sister has entered Xie's mansion as an aunt.

He was seriously injured at that time, and when he received such news, he felt that he had delayed Aunt Shen, and suddenly became confused and developed a fever, which did not subside for several days, and almost took his life.Later, after waking up, I realized that the Xie family had invited a doctor to treat me, and I had also received the kindness of the Xie family. If he wants to employ someone, he will work hard in Xie's family for a few years with the intention of repaying his kindness, and intends to ask Aunt Shen to leave after Master Xie's filial piety is over.

Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, both sides are planning their own calculations, Aunt Shen's stomach has moved, and now looking at Aunt Shen, it is impossible to think of Xie's family.And Shen Shihu also saw Xie Yujiao, he is a big man, he has never been convinced since he was a child, but he is convinced by Xie Yujiao after seeing Xie Yujiao.

When I saw Aunt Shen at this moment, seeing that she was doing well, I didn't know what to say for a while, so I said, "I wanted to wait for the life at home to be better before I beg you to go out, but now there is no need, you Take good care of him, Mr. Xie is our family's benefactor, you are repaying him by giving birth to a son."

Although Aunt Shen has no personal affair with Mr. Xie, she still has a bit of respect after all. In addition, women in ancient times were always upbringing. In fact, she didn't think about going out at first. Now that she has a child, I don't even want to.

"Brother, how are the parents at home? Are the younger brothers and sisters all right?" Aunt Shen said, pulling Shen Shihu to sit down again: "Madam heard that you came, so she sent the servants to prepare a lot of things for you." You take it back, it’s all loaded in the car outside, and you’ll go back with the car later.”

This good life depends on the girl being an aunt. Although Shen Shihu felt uncomfortable, he didn't repel it too much after all. He just said: "I still have the things sent by Xie's family last time, so I don't need to take them back. .”

Aunt Shen knew what he was thinking, so she lowered her head and said: "I originally planned to wait until Rexiao went home to have a look, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, these things are rewarded by my wife, and I can't refuse them." , you just take it back for me."

Shen Shihu also knew that his family was in a bad situation. He had been ill for a while, and the fields hadn't harvested yet. Although the younger brother was taking classes in the free school in Xie's house, the family's food and drink expenses were always needed, so I ordered She nodded and said: "In the future, I will bring out a team of servants who are more capable to the eldest lady. With the income, I don't need you to support the family anymore."

After hearing this, Aunt Shen blinked and said: "What? Do you still need to collect money when you come to the house? Your life was saved by the eldest girl. If the eldest girl hadn't ordered the servants to invite the doctor from the county back, I'm afraid you..."

Aunt Shen's family were all thinking of repaying their kindness, seeing what Shen Shihu said, they just asked.

Speaking of this, Shen Shihu was also a little embarrassed, he didn't want the money originally, but the eldest girl said that her brother is still clear about the account, and Shen Shihu took the money, so she was willing to let him do things at ease.Shen Shihu felt that what Xie Yujiao said was reasonable, so he agreed, and the monthly silver was a tael of silver.

Aunt Shen saw that Shen Shihu said that this was what the eldest girl meant, and she also knew that Xie Yujiao was unambiguous, so she nodded and said: "It's good now, my monthly silver in the house is only one tael of silver. , now that you have it too, the money of the two of us added up, the medicine money of parents can also be counted on."

After hearing this, Shen Shihu said angrily: "Don't think like this in the future, now you are the aunt of Xie's family, why do you keep turning your elbows to her mother's house, others don't know that you are willing to come in, but you It's also clear that parents didn't want to spend money selling their daughter, now that you have a child, you must behave more carefully, and don't make it difficult for your wife and eldest daughter."

Aunt Shen knew that what Shen Shihu said was reasonable, she didn't dare to say anything, so she nodded vigorously.The two chatted for a while, and then Aunt Shen asked the little maid to send Shen Shihu out.

In the small courtyard of the old aunt and grandma in the northwest corner, a few maids just came in from the front and were chewing their tongues.

"I heard that Aunt Shen's elder brother has entered the mansion. The eldest girl seems to have arranged an errand for him, and the wife rewarded him with a lot of things for him to take back. Now Aunt Shen is really expensive according to the mother, salted fish Turn over!"

Aunt Fang was accompanying her aunt and grandma to chant scriptures in the Buddhist hall. The small courtyard was quiet, and these chattering voices could be heard in her ears.The old aunt and grandma over there couldn't sit still anymore, and the prayer beads in their hands became louder and louder, and finally she opened her throat and said: "Who wants to climb high branches and leave as soon as possible, and stop chewing your tongue outside."

When the maids heard the voice, they hurried away and scattered.In this family, whoever says what they say counts, they are all clear in their hearts, and no one really regards the old aunt and grandma as a person.

Aunt Fang went to the door and took a look, seeing that the maids had disappeared, she just cursed and said: "This group of people who eat inside and outside have sharpened their heads and want to climb high branches!"

The old aunt frowned, glanced at Aunt Fang coldly, and said viciously: "You still have the face to say, it's not because of your disappointment!"

When Aunt Fang heard this, she felt like a leaking ball, and she said aggrievedly, "Master usually doesn't like to go to my place, and he never came when he was sick. Where did I come from..."

Before Aunt Fang could finish speaking, the old aunt frowned and asked, "Who knows about your menstruation in the past few months?"

Aunt Fang didn't understand what the old aunt and grandma were thinking for a while, she just whispered: "Except for Chunhua in my room, only the woman in charge of washing in the small courtyard knows."

The old aunt squinted her eyes and asked, "What's the name of the lady who washes in your yard?"

Aunt Fang thought for a while, and then said: "It's Changgui's old lady, aunt, do you still remember? She was almost kicked out for stealing from the house the year before last, and aunt still talks to her?"

The old aunt also remembered something for a while, so she just pulled Aunt Fang to her ear and whispered a few words.

When Aunt Fang heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat and said again and again: "Auntie, you can't do this. If this matter gets out, I don't want to live!"

The old aunt glanced at her, and said with a sneer, "What are you afraid of? Anyway, when the time comes, you will stay in my small courtyard and see no one. When you are about to give birth, I will bring a boy in for you from outside. Do you want to see me?" Think, you don’t know whether the one in Aunt Shen’s stomach is a boy or a girl! I can guarantee that you will get a boy, and when the time comes, the Xie family’s wealth will not be all ours?”

Aunt Fang originally had the idea of ​​going out and remarrying, but after being poured down by the old aunt and grandma's ecstasy soup, her heart became a little moved, and she asked cautiously: "Young lady is so powerful, I'm afraid I can't hide it from her?"

The old aunt really had the guts of a bear, and Xie Yujiao's anger for a while had already made her almost have menopausal syndrome. Now it's so easy for her to feel that her brain is flexible. After thinking of such a good idea, how can she give up? He kept teasing Aunt Fang and said, "With your courage, how can you become a big weapon? Don't leave the money, isn't it possible that you will live by seeing Aunt Shen's face in the future?"

Aunt Fang lost her mind, and immediately agreed, and ordered the maid to go to Xiaokuayuan to invite Changgui's mother, who was in charge of cleaning, to come, stuffed money and said to her: "You must not talk about this matter outside. , when the time comes, the matter of the boy will be entrusted to you, and after you help us with this matter, the money will come one after another."

That Changgui's mother didn't understand what they meant at the beginning, but when they talked about their son later, she suddenly came to her senses, thinking Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, thinking that Aunt Shen didn't know what was in her stomach now Whether it's a boy or a girl, if Aunt Fang really followed Aunt Fang's method and randomly found a boy to come in, wouldn't she become the only child of the Xie family?I just feel sorry for Mr. Xie, who was such a kind and good person during his lifetime. Could it be that all the good family wealth fell into the hands of outsiders in the end?

Changgui's mother has always had the habit of petty theft, and now seeing such a pile of cash, she was very tempted after all, so she agreed with her teeth.

In the evening, when Xu and Xie Yujiao were having dinner, Auntie Fang's servant girl sent a message saying that Auntie Fang was not feeling well today and had vomited twice in the afternoon, so she thought she would invite the doctor from the town to come over tomorrow to have a look.

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao just said casually: "What? I vomited twice, could it be that she has it too?"
