Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 119 Doubt ([-])
Master Xie took a nap and heard Aunt Zhang talking about the flower hall in a soft voice.

"The governor of Shangzhou came to ask Tong'er to be his stepmother?"

He woke up suddenly, sat up and said: "If I remember correctly, this governor of Shangzhou is a senior official from the third rank. He will be released for another three years, and he will be transferred back for another promotion."

Lord Inspector, Mr. Xie has seen it before.

Not to mention the good looks, the abilities and wrists are first-rate, otherwise he would not have been released when he was young. Now he is only forty, and he is already a high-ranking official from the third rank.

Outside the governor, the power can be said to be not small, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of the earth.

Rich and powerful, with a bright future, maybe in a few years he will be a first-rank and second-rank minister of the emperor, Mr. Xie has a smile on his brow.

Thanks to the ancestors of the Xie family, Xie Ruitong was actually taken by such an adult?

When Xie Ruitong marries, she will be the main wife, the official wife of a third-rank official.

The Xie family also followed the tide, and the more Mr. Xie thought about it, the happier he became, thinking about what to add to the dowry for the eldest daughter, so as not to be looked down upon.

Aunt Zhang shook the beauty fan in her hand, her eyes drooped slightly, and there was a flash of sadness.

What Master Xie was thinking, how could she, who had been by her side for nearly 20 years, not see it.

If Xie Ruitong can marry Lord Inspector, it will do no harm to the Xie family.

He never thought that the governor was a year or two older than Mr. Xie, whether Xie Ruitong would be really happy when he married.

To Mr. Xie, these are all insignificant matters.

Thinking of Xie Churou, Aunt Zhang pursed her lips, her worries deepened.

She raised her head and said softly: "It's just that the maids and women who passed by said that the eldest girl cried for a long time and was coaxed by the madam, saying that she would not be allowed to marry the elder governor..."

"What nonsense!" Mr. Xie interrupted Aunt Zhang's words in a cold voice, his eyes were full of anger: "Tong'er is a high-ranking married woman, how dare she be picky? Marriage is always the words of parents, how can she speak? So what about her looks, she happens to know how to be sympathetic to others. After all, Tong'er is young, why is Madam also confused?"

He was really worried that Mrs. Xie's head was full of straws and misled Xie Ruitong, so he got up quickly.

Aunt Zhang quickly put down the beauty fan, carefully waited for Mr. Xie to put it on, and said in a low voice: "Madam is also eager to love daughters, and she only knows a thing or two about Lord Inspector, so she is inevitably a little anxious. Let alone Madam, if Rou'er gets married, I will be worried." Thinking about it, I can't wait to find out about the other party before I dare to let Rou'er marry him."

Master Xie listened, with a smile on his lips: "Don't worry, when Rou'er gets married, I will definitely add more dowry, so that Rou'er won't be bullied."

"Then I'll be here to thank the master for Rou'er first, because the master loves her." Aunt Zhang smiled and bowed, and was helped by Master Xie.

"These ceremonies will be avoided. You have to thank me, and then just serve me with your heart." He held Aunt Zhang's catkin, and felt that the Xieyu flower beside him was really soothing to the whole body.

Every word Aunt Zhang said was pleasant to listen to.

On the contrary, Mrs. Xie has always been straightforward, and many times she speaks without thinking. Even if she has good intentions, it is really annoying.

"I'll go over and have a look, lest Madam do something bad with good intentions and come back to see you." After patting Aunt Zhang's tender little hand, Master Xie left.

Aunt Zhang watched him go away and let out a soft breath.

Even if Xie Ruitong didn't want to marry this time, Mr. Xie wouldn't agree.

Not long after, the servant next to Mr. Xie brought a brocade box, and Aunt Zhang accepted it with a smile.

After entering the house, I opened it and saw that there was a jade hairpin in the brocade box, with a budding magnolia flower carved at the end, which was so lifelike that I could smell the fragrance of magnolia.

Seeing this, Qin Sheng couldn't help admiring: "Auntie is really favored, but I have never seen such an exquisite jade hairpin given to my wife by the master. The carving is not a master craftsman who can't do it. It looks real from a distance. Same."

"It's just a toy, it's like a treasure in your mouth." Aunt Zhang didn't care much, just told her to put it away.

"Auntie isn't going to wear it?" Qin Sheng was surprised, seeing Auntie Zhang's expression didn't seem to be happy.

"No need, wearing it will only increase the trouble, why bother." Aunt Zhang shook her head, thanking the master for sending things, she can only wear them in the yard.When he came, he just wore it at the right time to make the master happy.

If you wear it out and let Mrs. Xie see it, I'm afraid trouble will continue.

Aunt Zhang laughed at herself, she is just a concubine who can't get on the stage, no matter how favored she is, she still bows to Madam and has to be cautious about everything.

Qin Sheng silently put away the brocade box, knowing that her master had unspeakable pain in her heart.

"Where is Rou'er, are you going to be a female celebrity in the house?" Aunt Zhang looked at the sky, usually Xie Churou would come to sit in her yard at this time, it's strange that she hasn't seen anyone yet.

Qin Sheng faltered and said: "The second girl went to the backyard early to enjoy the flowers, saying that she is good at drawing patterns, but she hasn't returned to the yard yet."

Aunt Zhang lost the smile on her face, knowing her daughter, Mo Ruomu, how could she not know what Xie Churou was thinking?
"Tell Rou'er to come back to see me right away. Is she able to meddle in the eldest girl's affairs?"

Xie Ruotong was going to get married, that was a certainty, she couldn't resist, she had to vent her anger.

Xie Churou ran into her, wasn't she asking for trouble?

Aunt Zhang couldn't help sighing, this daughter is a bit clever, but she is still too tender after all.

Although Xie Churou's face was seven or eight points similar to hers, his temperament was only one or two points, which made Aunt Zhang worry.

Qin Sheng quickly responded, and then went out and ordered the little maid to invite the second girl back.

Who knew that Aunt Zhang didn't wait to come to thank Churou, but waited for Qin Sheng who hurriedly came back to report and cried, "Auntie, the second girl beat the eldest girl!"

When Aunt Zhang heard it, her eyes turned black and she almost fainted?
"How did Rou'er meet the eldest girl, was she seriously injured?"

Qin Sheng wiped away her tears, sobbed and said: "The maidservant only had time to take a look, half of the second girl's face was red and swollen, the eldest girl is not easy to deal with. The woman in the yard has already gone to inform the wife, and the doctor is on the way .”

When Aunt Zhang listened, her eye circles turned red.

Even though her daughter was a concubine, Aunt Zhang pampered her and grew up like a jewel in her palm. How could she have suffered such a crime?
The more flustered you are, the less chaotic you can be.

Aunt Zhang took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart.

Xie Ruitong, who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, even if she messes around on weekdays, she actually hurt her daughter!

Mrs. Xie will definitely calm things down, even the face-saving Mr. Xie will not interfere in this matter, at most, he will make up for Aunt Zhang and Xie Churou.

As for the compensation, it is nothing more than money and jewelry.

Aunt Zhang doesn't care about these things, what she wants is to make Mrs. Xie and Xie Ruitong worry about it in the future, and never dare to touch a single hair of Xie Churou!
Sure enough, when Master Xie came over at night, he was carrying a box of thumb-sized pearls in his hand.Each one is smooth and flat, obviously not ordinary.

Aunt Zhang stood by the couch with tears in her eyes.

Xie Churou had already been sent back, her left cheek was swollen.

The doctor looked at it and said that it was a skin trauma, and after applying ointment, it would be healed in ten or eight days.

It was obvious that Mrs. Xie had invited her here, and what she said was perfunctory.

Aunt Zhang felt resentful and didn't say anything to her face, she just waited for Master Xie to come over.

"Master, Rou'er's face..." She sobbed softly, and slowly walked out the door holding Master Xie's arm.

Halfway through saying this, Master Xie's heart turned cold: "What, did the doctor say there will be scars?"

Aunt Zhang shook her head. Before he could let go, he continued: "The doctor just said that it is not certain, but the face of the daughter's family is the lifeblood. Even if a little scar is left, how can Rou'er marry in the future?" Good family?"

Master Xie's expression darkened when he heard that, when he came back, he only heard that Xie Ruitong moved his hand, Madam Xie said it lightly, so she didn't take it to heart.

He also heard that a doctor was invited, but the doctor didn't say how serious it was, and he didn't take it seriously, he only thought about that little thing to compensate Aunt Zhang and Xie Churou.
