Flowers are expensive

Chapter 496 Qixiang's Irritability

Mo Xue rolled her eyes, and said unconvinced: "It's amazing! If I hadn't married early, I would have known the fourth uncle of the prince. What are you proud of? She thanked Moxiang because she was lucky. Marry a Jinshi Xianggong, hmph, you are so lucky, beware of short life!"

"Don't say such vicious words, she is your own sister after all!"

"Did she ever treat me as my own sister? You saw how I worked so hard to help her in Yucheng, but in the end, what did I gain? Look at my face, I want to thank her eighteen generations of ancestors! "

"It's useless for you to complain, the money is specified to come back, you and the eldest son-in-law should make plans for the future! After all, you still have two children!"

"She will spend it here if she doesn't give it to me, let's see who can spend it more! She owes me so much money and refuses to pay it, she will be careful to strike you! Mother, you can keep your private house, how much can you give me? Ten taels or twenty taels at most, it won't fit between my teeth at all!"

"Then you can't spend your time here! Go out and rent a house, find a job to do, at least earn some rations, can't you?"

Mo Xue said impatiently: "Mom, do you still need to teach me about this? I have stayed in the city much longer than you! Dou Kui and I knew what we planned! I will go out to rent a house today, and when I turn back Then find a job as a sewing girl, settle down in the city first, and slowly ask Xie Moxiang for the money! If she doesn't give it, I'll ask Tian Yisheng for it, and see who will be ashamed!"

Zhen said hurriedly: "Nonsense! How can you trouble Yi Sheng! He is a Jinshi master, you can't discredit him!"

"He is a Jinshi master again, is he your son?" Mo Xue patted the table and hummed twice, "The son-in-law can be half a son at most, not to mention that he will be an official soon, and when he is rich and prosperous, he will marry him later. One or two concubines are at home, Moxiang is a fart! No matter how hard you work to take care of the swing for him, it is useless! It won’t be long before you will be kicked out of the house, do you believe it?”

"Yi Sheng is not that kind of person..."

"No? Hmph! Then look at him and see if he is that kind of person! I'm not afraid to tell you that Tian Yisheng is not a good bird, he even took my idea!"

"What?" Zhen asked with a look of astonishment, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could Yi Sheng have your idea?"

Mo Xue snorted coldly, rubbed her temples together and said, "That Tian Yisheng is quite honest in front of you, but it's different behind the scenes! When I helped Mo Xiang, he always liked to strike up conversations with me. Tease me without saying a word, can't I see it?"

"No way?"

"Believe it or not! Usually I don't say anything, just out of consideration for Mo Xiang's favor. When he becomes a high-ranking official and meets some beautiful girls, it will take a lot of time! You can still be in his Tianjia How long will you stay? I advise you, make a long-term plan with Dad! Don't really expect Tian Yisheng to support you for the rest of your life!"

Zhen Shi was originally a woman with no opinions and no brains.Hearing Mo Xue's words, he was angry and impatient, and shook his head again and again, "I didn't realize that Yi Sheng is such a person! Then why did he still talk about supporting us?"

"When was it back then? He Tian Yisheng is not even a juren! Except for the two elders, there is nothing else in the family, and the money for the exam is not enough. Can he not curry favor with you? Now it is different, he is in high school , the bright future will be bright in the future!"

"Then... how about that? Your father and I don't have any sons to take care of us, so if we leave Moxiang, who can we rely on in the future?"

"I want to give you a pension, but I don't have the ability. I'm afraid you will suffer with me! Xie Moxiang has money, but her money is spent on outsiders. How much of her money has she spent on her own family? I advise you. , it’s better to go back to Zique Village and adopt a boy from the family to take care of him, that’s more reliable!”

After being told by Mo Xue, Zhen's heart became even more confused.After coming out of the inn, Zhen's mind was full of thoughts about what to do in the future.As she walked, she lost her way and didn't know which alley she went to.Just when he was about to turn back and leave, the door of the backyard in front of him suddenly opened, and a man and a woman walked out, very intimate.The woman nestled in the man's arms reluctantly, and the little bird whispered softly, lingering like a newlywed swallow.

At first, Mrs. Zhen scolded a few words in her heart, thinking that all the ladies in this city are so profligate?I'm not ashamed to start messing around with a man in the backyard!But when she took a closer look, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!Isn't the man that the young lady is hugging her eldest son-in-law, Dou Kui?How could this be?
Seeing Dou Kui's amiable face, he reluctantly comforted the young lady a few words, and then the young lady let go and closed the door to go back.Seeing that she had closed the door, Dou Kui walked towards the alley with a smile on her face, her steps were brisk, and she was quite proud of herself!
As if struck by thunder, Zhen stared blankly at Dou Kui who was going away, unable to say a word for a while!I don't know how long she was in a daze, but when another woman came out of the backyard door, seeing her expression, she approached curiously and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Are you looking for someone?"

Only then did Mrs. Zhen come to her senses, looked at the woman, pointed to the backyard door and asked: "Old sister-in-law, please ask me, whose family lives here?"

"Why are you asking this?" the old woman asked suspiciously.

"This..." Mrs. Zhen hurriedly took out a piece of silver from her purse and stuffed it into the old woman's hand with a smile, "Old sister-in-law, I just want to know, it's nothing else, can you help me?"

Seeing Yinzi, the old woman's complexion improved a lot, and she said with a smile: "The girl Liuyuan from our family lives here."

"What do you do at home?"

The old lady covered her mouth with a smile and said: "She used to be the top shopper in the brothel in the city, but now her reputation is not as good as before, so she bought her private house and bought a house here to settle down."

"What? A brothel? It turned out to be a prostitute!" Zhen Shi was so frightened that her face turned half pale.

The old woman curled her lips, making fun of her ignorant expression, collected the money and went back on her own.Zhenshi stood in front of the door for a long time, then hurried back to Yueyuan.When she returned to Yueyuan, she realized that except for Mrs. Guan, the gatekeeper and the two maids, no one else was there.She asked the old man and found out that someone came to the palace half an hour ago and invited Mo Xiang and others to the palace.Xixi promised Runhu before that he would be invited to the palace as a guest.When she got up, she saw that Tiangong had given her some good looks, so she ordered Wuye to invite everyone from Yueyuan.

When You Xianer heard that there were people from her hometown, she was also very enthusiastic, and together with Xixi led them around the palace.The run tiger was very excited, climbing up the rockery, wandering around the pond, and running back and forth in the corridor, even wanting to touch the Pixiu on the eaves twice, which made everyone laugh all the way.After walking back to the east courtyard, Xixi asked him, "Is your fourth uncle's courtyard good?"

He wiped off his little sweat, sat on the stool and shook his head and said, "Big is big enough, but there are no horses!"

Everyone raised their heads and laughed.Xixi patted his little head and said cheerfully: "Who raises horses in the palace? You want to ride a horse, and when your fourth uncle comes back, he will take you to play in the barracks, okay?"

"Fourth aunt take me!" Runhu couldn't wait.

"Without your fourth uncle, my fourth aunt would not be able to go to the military camp," Xixi said deliberately and pitifully, "A place like the military camp is for boys, but girls are not allowed to go!"

Runhu pointed at Xixi's belly and said childishly, "The fourth aunt gave birth to a younger brother, and let the younger brother go to the barracks with me!"

"Yo, that's what you said, Runhu!" You Xian'er clapped her hands and laughed, "This little mouth is really good at talking, as soon as you talk about it, you can talk about your younger brother! If your fourth aunt really has a younger brother, I have to give it to you." Seal a red envelope!"

Xixi turned her head and smiled and asked, "What's that saying?"

"There's no big talk. In the countryside, children are always asked to guess whether a pregnant woman's belly is a boy or a girl. They say that children are the most spiritual, and can see things that adults can't see! So, Xixi, your belly There are eight out of ten prostitutes who are now boys! That's great, Yuan Yin talks about his son all day long, this time he should hope for the best!"

Xixi didn't tell too many people about her twin pregnancy.Zhaoxun wanted to wait for confirmation before asking Xixi to announce it to the public.At this moment, when Xixi thought of Zhao Xun's words, her scalp became numb for a while. If there were really two sons, wouldn't there be three Yamas in the family in the future?Living with the three Yan Luos, she would go crazy just thinking about it!No, no, just three daughters!

When Xixi was wandering, You Xian'er asked someone to serve cakes and fruits.Just as Runhu was about to reach out to grab it, Zhuang patted the back of his hand and said, "Don't be so unruly, what are you in a hurry for?" You Xian'er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, kid, just take whatever he likes. , don’t be so out of touch.”

Mrs. Zhuang thanked her with a smile, picked a piece of rose-colored flower cake and said to Runhu, "This cake looks so pretty, I can't bear to eat it!"

Run Hu took a sip and nodded, "It's delicious! It's even better than the pastry shop on Xisha Street!"

"When did you eat the one on Xisha Street?" Zhuang asked casually.

"Brother-in-law gave me money to buy it for me when school was over yesterday..." Before he finished buying, Runhu quickly covered his mouth, suddenly remembering that he couldn't say that he had met Qixiang.But it was too late, Xixi heard it clearly, and hurriedly asked: "Did you meet your brother-in-law yesterday?"

"No...no..." Run Hu bowed his head guiltily.

"Children don't like to lie. The fourth aunt has something important to do with your brother-in-law. Tell me quickly, have you met your brother-in-law?"

Runhu picked at the pastry and refused to speak.Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly said, "It's not that Runhu wanted to hide it on purpose, but the little prince told him not to tell, so he didn't want to say anything. Madam said you have something urgent to do with him?"

"It's an urgent matter!" Xixi said seriously.

"Run Hu and I did see him last night, but we don't know where he is now."

"He actually ran back?" Xixi said to herself.

"What's the matter, Xixi?" You Xian'er asked strangely, "Didn't Qi Xiang go back to Beijing with his mother? Why did you run back?"

Xixi shook her head and said: "Who knows? You can only tell when you meet him! I happened to ask him for something, and he ran back by himself. You have to catch him and ask him! Runhu, your brother-in-law will come again next time." If you are looking for you, just tell him that sister Cuiyue is seriously ill, and if he wants to know what the illness is, he has to come to Fourth Aunt, understand?"

Runhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently.You Xian'er asked from the side: "Cuiyue is really seriously ill? I heard that she is being raised at home these days!"

Xixi said perfunctorily: "I frightened Qixiang, just to ask him something, it's hard for me to find him if he keeps hiding like this!"

"Oh, all right!"

For a whole day, Xie's family had a great time in the palace, but when it was time to leave, Runhu refused.Xixi promised to take him to see the horses when his fourth uncle came back, so he reluctantly left.

The next morning, Xixi went to Cuiyue's house.As soon as the sedan chair stopped at the gate, Qixiang flashed out from the side, took the initiative to lift the curtain for Xixi and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, good morning!"

Xixi was startled, got out of the sedan chair and asked, "Didn't your mother drag you back?"

"Leaving this aside, Qixiang anxiously asked: "What serious illness did Cuiyue suffer from? "
