spring cloud warm

Chapter 130
In the evening of this day, a large cloud floated in the western sky.

The setting sun fell on the tip of the cloud, and it was about to fall.

The locals call this kind of astronomical phenomenon "the old cloud takes over", and the next day's weather is mostly cloudy and rainy.

Mother Lu, the companion of the third wife Wei, brought out a new pot of tea, and ran into Xu Chunjun who was coming for dinner.

"Fifth Miss is here," Lu's mother said with a round face and small eyes, she couldn't see when she smiled, "Fourth Miss also just came."

The fourth girl is Xu Chunsu, the daughter of the third wife, who is only half a year older than Xu Chunjun.

Even if Xu Chunjun doesn't smile, he always has a kind face on his face, making people approachable.

Mother Lu is Wei's confidant, she is a junior who never neglects, she nodded with a smile and said: "Mom, hurry up and go, I will go in by myself."

There is a leather smell in Wei's house all the year round, that's because she has a lot of leather goods in her box, and she has to take them out to dry every now and then.

Today Xu Chunsu was wearing a flowing red embroidered waist jacket with a light green pleated skirt. Sitting next to Wei Shi, she was muttering something, but she stopped talking when she saw Xu Chunjun come in.

Xu Chunjun greeted both Wei Shi and Xu Chunsu, and then placed spoons and chopsticks with the maids like every day, and placed the best two dishes in front of Wei Shi's seat.

Xu Chunsu helped her mother to come and sit down. She looked a little like Wei's, ugly or not, but her cheekbones were higher, which made her somewhat mean.

The third master, Xu Gai, was born with poor eyesight, so he had to hold something in front of his eyes to see clearly.

Because of this, it was not easy to choose a relative back then, and in the end he reluctantly chose the Wei family.

Wei's family background is not as high as that of the first wife and the second wife, and his temperament is not generous. He used to have a good life.When the Xu family went downhill, she became more and more mean.

Xu Shangshu and his wife felt sorry for their son, and thinking that this was the case in marrying a wife, they decided to give him a good concubine room, and chose Xu Chunjun's biological mother He Shi after thousands of choices.

Mrs. He was not only knowledgeable and reasonable, but also good-looking, but it was a pity that he did not live long, and died of illness when Xu Chunjun was less than five years old.

He Shi is a very good person, so even Wei Shi, who is difficult to get along with, didn't really feel sorry for her.

Xu Chunjun is exactly like his mother, and there is no fault in front of the Wei family for so many years.Although Wei Shi didn't love her, he didn't treat her harshly either.

As soon as the food was set, the third young master Xu Daoqing lifted the curtain and came in.

This young master is a born prodigal seed. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he only thought about squandering all day long. Together with a few worthless children in the county, he flew around in groups, so that he slept in flowers and stayed in willows, everywhere.

Of course, this is the evaluation of outsiders.In the eyes of his mother Wei, Xu Daoqing is like a unicorn and a phoenix.

"Sit down and eat!" Wei Shi grabbed his son and asked him to sit beside him.

"Why are there still these few dishes?!" Xu Daoqing glanced at the table and became unhappy: "The four dishes and one soup of Jian Tian make people feel sour when they look at it."

Although Xu's family eats in separate rooms, Mr. Yi always cooks in the big kitchen, and the maids and mothers-in-law from all over the place bring them home.

Only on New Year's Day, or someone's birthday, will there be four or two more dishes.

This rule was also set by Xu Lang, his family was in decline, so he naturally had to live frugally.It's just that Wei's mother and son are not very satisfied, and feel that Xu Langke has deducted all the money from the father-in-law.

"Be content, my ancestor! You may not be able to eat it in the future." Wei put the chopsticks into his son's hand: "You listen to your mother, don't run around these two days."

Xu Chunjun kept his head slightly lowered. Obviously, the Wei family had also heard the movement.

She was not surprised at all, when Zi Ling told her, Xu Chunjun knew in his heart that Xu Lang would not keep this matter from everyone.Because to save the second elder brother, it is inevitable to discuss countermeasures with the family.Either money or effort.

To say not to leak the news is just to hide it from the second room.

Xu Daoqing smiled disdainfully and said: "Everyone thinks that the second child has been wronged. In my opinion, this may not be the first time. The ready-made boats carry some private goods, and when they are sold, they all fall into their own hands." In the pocket, who wouldn't do this?"

"Shut your mouth and eat quickly!" Wei interrupted his son's words, not allowing him to continue talking.

Maybe she didn't think so in her heart, but after all, with Xu Chunjun around, it's better not to be too explicit.

But Xu Daoqing didn't take Xu Chunjun seriously. In his opinion, he, a concubine, was just like the cats and dogs in this house, and there was nothing to guard against.

Xu Chunjun put down his chopsticks knowingly and said: "Madam, I'm full. I haven't finished my work for my second sister, so I'll go back first."

"You go!" Wei Shi was very satisfied with this concubine who knew how to advance and retreat, and she had a lot of personal things to say to her children.

It was already dark when Xu Chunjun came out of Wei's courtyard. She was thinking about something, so she didn't say a word.

Compared with Xu Chunjun's silence, the three of Wei's mother and son are chattering.

"Something happened to the second room, we have to make plans early." These words held back in Wei Shi's mind for a long time.

"Mother, what's your plan?" Xu Chunsu asked, "Second brother sells smuggled salt and we won't be implicated, right?"

"Women are ignorant after all," Xu Daoqing snorted: "We all eat in the same pot, how can we not be implicated?"

"I think so too," Wei said worriedly, "Grandma Sangu will definitely use money to catch people. If people are not rescued, the money must be spent."

"To save him, I spent everyone's money." Xu Daoqing pouted and said, "This deal is very cost-effective."

"Your third aunt has always been eccentric," Wei sighed deeply, shaking the candles on the table a few times: "It was agreed last year that you will do business with Dao'an, who would have thought that it would be less than two Yue drove you back."

Wei Shi was full of grievance and resentment when he mentioned this.

In fact, it was her son Xu Daoqing who was useless and embezzled the money purchased from the cabinet.

But she felt that since she was in business, she would inevitably have to pay some money, and the two young masters of the first room and the second room had not lost money before, so why would her son be driven back?

What's more, she had already dragged her son to plead with Xu Lang, and she was her sister-in-law anyway, so she didn't show any affection at all.

"I have long said that the child conceived by the second sister-in-law is unlucky," Xu Chunsu interjected, "Everyone says that a child born in the year of the white tiger is bad luck."

"We have to find a way to separate from them." Wei Shi said, "Before the money is exhausted, we can still get our share."

"Then if we separate, we can't live here?" Xu Chunsu hesitated: "Otherwise, if you look down, you won't see you when you look up..."

"Silly girl, your mother is in her late forties. Don't you have any plans for this? Take the property at the front of our house and convert it into silver, and then go to your grandparent's house." It's been two days, and it's just that there is no legitimate reason to say that the family is separated: "Hasn't Daokai already gone to your uncle's house? We will say that we will go to your grandparent's house to visit relatives, who can hold back?" Let us go?"

Xu Daokai is the youngest son of the Wei family. Last month, he went to his grandfather's house in Zhan County to visit relatives.

"Separation? Why do you want to separate?" Xu Daoqing put the tea bowl cover upside down on the table and turned it like a spinning top: "As long as the old aunt is here, we can't get any benefits!"

"Then what do you want to do?" Wei Shi heard other meanings from his son's words.

"It's better to seize power than to divide the family! Now the first house is useless, and the second house is in trouble," Xu Daoqing smirked: "It's time for my third young master to be in charge."
