Flowers are expensive

Chapter 495 Manxiang and Yutao 2
Mo Xue's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.Mo Xiang lowered her eyes and sighed heavily.Zhenshi hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Moxiang, please forgive your sister! She didn't do it on purpose!"

Mo Xiang broke away from Zhen Shi's hand and said coldly: "Mother, do you still remember? It was Yi Sheng who took the initiative to pick you up to take care of you. Do you think that all the son-in-laws in the world are like him?"

"This……"

"Mother," Mo Xiang turned to look at Zhen Shi and said angrily, "You are too greedy!"

"Moxiang..."

Mo Xiang shook her head in disappointment and said, "Aunt Si is right, I can't indulge you anymore, otherwise Yi Sheng and I will have no way to live in the future!"

"Mo Xiang, what do you mean..."

Before the question was finished, Mo Xue suddenly heard a cry like killing a pig at the end of the alley!A few people were taken aback, and hurriedly ran towards the other side of the alley.When she ran to the entrance of the alley, she saw Moxue with disheveled hair, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, lying on the ground, crying loudly, and standing beside her were Manxiang and Yutao!
"Little uncle! Yutao!" Mo Xiang was overjoyed, and rushed over to hug Yutao.

Man Xiang shook his slightly sore palm, pointed at Mo Xue on the ground and said, "Try another word of swearing, I'll take your surname if I don't beat you back to your mother's womb!"

"Xie Manxiang, you are crazy! How can you beat Mo Xue like this?" Zhen Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help Mo Xue.Mo Xue slapped Man Xiang three times, her face was swollen like a pig, there was a long string of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, tears and snot flowed together!She refused to get up, and holding her swollen face, she wailed loudly, "Beat me! Beat me to death! It's no wonder you don't take your life if you beat me to death!"

Zhen looked at Mo Xue's swollen face, turned around and pointed at Man Xiang angrily, and said, "Xie Manxiang, look! Look at how you beat Mo Xue? She is still your own niece. What! You are too ruthless!"

"That's not as cruel as her!" Man Xiang replied with his hands on his hips, "Who told her to scold Yutao? Yutao is her aunt no matter what!"

"Fucking auntie!" Moxue yelled while holding that painted face, "Shameless! Grandma never admits to having sex without a matchmaker. What kind of aunt am I?"

"How dare you say it!"

Man Xiang raised his fist and rushed forward, Zhen Shi hurriedly stood in front of Mo Xue, and shouted loudly: "If you want to beat me up, beat me to death first!"

Man Cheng Man Xing hurriedly pulled Man Xiang away.Man Xiang pointed at Moxue and shouted: "I tell you, Xie Moxue! Yutao and I have already returned to the village, and mother has recognized Yutao. If you don't keep your mouth clean, be careful that I will throw you to soak in the moat! "

"Little uncle, have you gone back to Zique Village?" Mo Xiang asked.

Man Xiang nodded and said: "I'm back, and I also went to pay respects to my father. My mother refused to leave, but let us come here to find you. Who knew that Xie Moxue rushed out as soon as I got here, bumping into you without thinking. After killing Yutao, she yelled at her without apologizing, do you think she deserves this beating? I don’t think she was angry enough!"

Mo Xue turned over in a jerk, jumped up and pointed at Man Xiang and shouted, "Try punching me twice, see if I don't go to the yamen and sue you!"

"Go and sue, go and sue!" Man Xiang waved his hand indifferently, "You can sue the imperial court! Hurry up!"

"Okay, Moxue!" Zhenshi anxiously stopped her and said, "It's been like this, go back quickly! If you make him anxious, he might beat you up! Come on, go back!"

Mo Xue stared at Man Xiang unconvinced, turned her head and ran away quickly.Man Cheng and Man Xing helped Man Xiang to carry the burden, while Mo Xiang and Zhuang Shi walked happily back to Yueyuan with Yutao on their arms.Zhen Shi, who was walking at the end, was still a little worried, and glanced at the direction where Mo Xue's back disappeared from time to time, and then slowly entered the gate.

After Man Xiang and Yu Tao put down their burdens, they went to kowtow to Guan Shi, and then came out to drink with Man Xing and the others.Mrs. Zhuang specially cooked two small dishes to accompany the wine, and several people sat around in the dining room and chatted.

Moxiang asked Yutao where they went.Man Xiang took the words and said with a smile: "When we ran out, we thought that we had already come out anyway, and we had to go to a big place! So we went to the capital!"

"Hey, you guys even went shopping in the capital? Then how do you live?" Zhuang asked with a smile.

"Manxiang works as a waiter in a silver house, and I cook for the shopkeeper's lady, and I can make do with it. It's just that things in the capital are too expensive, and it's useless to pay better wages than Yucheng. It's even more difficult to save money!" Yutao plaid her hair, her face became rounder, flushed like a ripe peach.

"You two are living a happy life, isn't that all right?" Mo Xiang smiled.

"By the way, Mo Xiang," Yutao said to her with a smile, "We met Yi Sheng in the capital!"

"Really?" Mo Xiang asked with a surprised smile, "Where did we meet?"

Man Xiang said: "It's a coincidence that Yi Sheng accompanied a classmate of his to our silver building to fix the lock for his son. As soon as I entered the door, I saw him and went up to say hello to Mr. Tian, ​​which gave him a big jump. !"

Everyone at the table burst out laughing.Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly asked, "Then did Yi Sheng send any officials? When will he be back?"

"The matter of sending officials has not yet been settled, we have to wait until there is a vacancy. If I hadn't met Yi Sheng, I would not have known that my father had passed away. As soon as I heard about this, I resigned from the job with the shopkeeper. Yutao went back to the village. I planned to bring my mother along, but my mother refused to leave, saying that she would stay with my father so that my father would not be too lonely..." Man Xiang said, his eyes turned red.

"It's okay, Man Xiang!" Man Xing patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Father passed away peacefully, so you don't have to take it too seriously. Now that our family can get together, Dad will be happy in the sky Now grandma's work is not over yet, so I can only stay in the city for the time being, why don't you come with me to work in the Huahaoyueyuan workshop of Shopkeeper Long? At least I can earn two dollars."

Man Xiang smiled triumphantly, took a sip of his wine and said, "I was looking for a job before I came here!"

"Really? Looking for something?"

"Guess who else did I meet in the capital? I met my fourth brother!"

"Which fourth brother? Fourth brother Guan?" Man Cheng asked.

"No," Man Xiang shook his head and said, "It's the one in Prince You's Mansion!"

"How did you meet him?" Zhuang asked curiously.

"Isn't it because of Yi Sheng? When the fourth brother came to the capital, he met Yi Sheng. Later, when he heard that I was coming to the capital, he asked us to have a meal together. I'm here to surprise you City, the fourth brother said, let me go to Youwang Mansion to find a master Bingcan, and ask that master to send me something to do!"

Mrs. Zhuang poured a glass of wine for Man Xiang with a smile and said: "Okay, from now on, you will be working for the palace, don't forget to take care of our own family!"

"Naturally! I will go to the palace tomorrow to find that lord."

"I want to go too!" Runhu raised his little hand and said, "Little uncle, take me there! I also want to visit Fourth Uncle's palace! I've been here for so long, and I haven't been there yet!"

Man Xiang patted his head and said with a smile: "Good boy, when your little uncle finishes messing around in the palace, he will take you there sooner or later, don't rush!"

The whole family was chatting lively in the dining room, but Zhenshi didn't go, and she was too embarrassed to go.The incident of Mo Xue stealing money tonight made her face very dishonored. She was afraid that Mrs. Zhuang would laugh at her, so she sat in the room by herself and sulked for a while.

When there was movement in the yard, she hurriedly leaned on the edge of the window and took a look out, only to see Man Cheng with a wine-red face, dragging Man Xiang in crookedly, towards a side room.Ever since Mo Xuelai made a fuss last time, Man Cheng hasn't lived in the same room with her.She hurriedly opened the door and walked out, facing the two of them, she said, "I'll come! Don't bother you..."

"What are you doing?" Man Cheng glared at Zhen Shi and said, "I can't stand my brother helping me? My brother! My Xie family brother! Open your eyes and take a good look, I didn't touch your Zhen." The old lady is half-lighted!"

Zhen's face was ashamed, and she was so embarrassed that she had nowhere to go!Mancheng pointed at her again and said: "You are really good! You have raised me such a good girl, I thank you, Mrs. Zhen!"

"Xie Mancheng, are you finished?" Zhen said shyly and anxiously.

"Thank you!" Mancheng raised his voice and shouted at her, full of alcohol, "Do you want me to kowtow to you, Mrs. Zhen? Let me tell you, I really don't want to live with you anymore! Waiting for grandma's business As soon as the children are over, we will go back to the road and return to the bridge. If you want to find your precious girl, go and find it. Anyway, I will not live with you, nor will I live with Moxiang. !"

"If you don't follow Mo Xiang, where are you going?" Zhen was anxious.

"Where do I love to go! I don't have a son, I admit it! I don't have a son for the elderly, I earn money to go there, and it's not that I don't have legs! Moxiang is married, and I have a farmer to take care of her, so I follow her cheekily. What kind of business is she?"

"Okay, big brother," Man Xiang supported the wobbly Man Cheng, "I'll talk about these things later, go back to the house and rest first, you're drunk!"

"Not drunk! Not drunk!" Man Cheng let go of Man Xiang's hand, chattering and walking into the wing.Man Xiang rushed to support him, sent him back to the wing room, and then left the yard.

Zhenshi was angry and anxious, went back to her room and sat crying for a while, barely sleeping for an hour or two.Before dawn, she got up, washed up briefly, and went out quietly.

Mrs. Zhen is looking for Mo Xue.She came all the way to a medium-sized inn in the city, and after asking the second child who had just opened the door, she found Mo Xue and the two children in a simple guest room in the backyard.

Mo Xue's face was still swollen, and when she saw Mrs. Zhen, she complained angrily.Mrs. Zhen sent the eldest grandson a few copper coins and asked him to take the younger sister to buy steamed buns to eat.After the two children left, Zhen asked, "You are the only one? Where is the eldest son-in-law?"

"Not back yet." Mo Xue stood in front of the tub and lazily washed her face.

"Didn't come back all night? Where does he sleep?"

"He said there are friends he knows in the city, let's catch up on the old days." Mo Xue threw the handkerchief in the basin, walked over and sat down and said, "Why did you come so early in the morning? Did Mo Xiang drive you out?"

"Short-lived!" Mrs. Zhen thumped Moxue and said, "Who told you to steal Moxiang's box? How could you do that? Your father made fun of me a few times last night! He even said he wouldn't live with me." Come on, you have to pass by Luqiao and return to the bridge with me! Moxue, can you fight for your mother?"

"It was all forced by Xie Moxiang!" Mo Xue said confidently, "She owed me 1000 taels of silver and refused to pay, what can I do? Dou Kui and I sold the house and bought the land to pay it back for her, not to mention the interest No, she won't even give the principal! We still have two children to support, so we can't ask her for it!"

"But you can't steal either!"

"She won't give it to me, and I won't take it myself. Is it possible that I still expect her to deliver it myself?"

"Hey! Anyway, it's not right for you to take it yourself, it's no different from stealing! I said, Mo Xue, why don't you and your eldest son-in-law go back to Yucheng first, at least the cost there will be cheaper."

"Go back?" Mo Xue rolled her eyes and asked, "Where will we live? Our house is sold, so go back and live on the side of the street! This trip is just to ask her for money from Xie Moxiang, otherwise we won't leave !"

"Stupid! What is your rivalry with Moxiang? She has the palace behind her! If you are in a hurry, you might be thrown out of the city! Mother still has some private houses in her hand, so I will give you some. Wouldn't it be nice to find a way to do a little business with the eldest son-in-law?"
