Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 193
Zhuhua and Yinhua competed for the waistline of Yuanxiao, because they were not able to compete face-to-face due to the cold weather, but both sides sent maids to measure the waistline of the other side. In the end, Zhuhua regrettably lost.

"How is it possible, you said Yinhua is thinner than me?" Zhuhua asked Xia Hong who came to measure her in disbelief.

Xia Hong nodded, and whispered: "Since the old man and the old lady came, the lady has lost weight."

Hearing about Zhuhua, she no longer felt sorry for losing the 100 taels of silver to Yinhua, and said, "Be careful, don't let others see."

"There are countless slaves."

Xia Hong has been with Yinhua for a long time. When she first came here, she was silent and silent. Only after getting acquainted with her did she realize that she is also a poisonous person.Zhuhua asked her some more about Yinhua's family, and did not let her go back until Qiuchu came back.

Knowing that Yinhua was indeed thinner than her, she couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been a big problem since ancient times. Yinhua didn't like Xu's mother, and felt that she was snobbish and superficial.Originally, if the two of them just lived together for a few days, nothing would happen to them, but Yinhua felt unhappy after a long time.Far fragrance and near stink, there can still be conflicts among my own family, let alone mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The unhappiness in Yinhua's heart actually started on the third day after Xu's mother came.

When she was in confinement, she had a specific confinement meal, which was less oily and nutritious, which is what she ate when she gave birth to a tiger cub.Who knew Xu's mother would cook chicken soup for her every day as soon as she arrived, or the chicken soup that was so oily that she wanted to vomit. It was because he ate too lightly during confinement last time that he didn't feed the little tiger well, so that the little tiger didn't grow any meat.

The little tiger didn't grow any flesh, he was skinny because he liked to play around, Yinhua thought to herself.

Xu's mother not only took care of her food, but also took care of the little tiger.The little tiger is greedy for snacks. Xu's mother had a lot of snacks at home when he saw the New Year, so he let the little tiger eat them. He refused to eat for several days and became constipated.Yinhua took the opportunity to get angry, not only invited a doctor to spend a sum of money for the medicine, forced the little tiger to drink medicine every day, but also made people throw away all the snacks at home, and there was nothing left.

After that, the Xu family lived a life of eating vegetarian and clearing the intestines. Even she herself was vegetarian, so she spent time with them.But in the middle of winter and the first lunar month, these vegetarian dishes are much more expensive than meat, and even Yinhua's Zhuangzi in the capital can't supply so many fresh vegetables.Yinhua didn't tell the Xu family that she still had Zhuangzi in the capital, and she deliberately asked the servants not to go to Zhuangzi to get vegetables, but to buy them outside. Anyway, she didn't use her own money, but Xu Mu's salary.After eating vegetarian food for a month like this, there was no money left in Xu's family, and the little tiger also clamored that he didn't want to stay at home anymore, and wanted to go to his grandmother's house.

It was Mrs. Sun who found out and said a few words to her, so she took advantage of the situation and put the meat and vegetables on the table again.But the family is running out of cash, and all the meals are served with discounted portions, and even the servants have less to eat.

At that time, Yinhua had already confinement and was preparing for the New Year. The dishes for the New Year had been prepared long ago, but there were no desserts.She didn't buy any more. Anyway, during the Chinese New Year, Zhuhua's family used to come to pay New Year's greetings. This year, she will be confinement, so she probably won't come. The little tigers ate the snacks at home.

Little Tiger was angry for several days when he found out that the snacks had been thrown away. Later, Xu's mother secretly spent money to buy them for him, which made him change his temper, thinking that grandma is the best, and mother is too fierce.Yinhua felt sullen again, so she ignored him and only cared about the obedient little bear.But after all, she was always irritated, and she had no appetite to eat anything at that time, and all she ate was vegetarian, even the milk was scarce, and the cub was starting to get hungry, which made her even worse.It was Sun who came over every day and secretly sent her delicious food, which made her feel better.

With Mrs. Sun around, Xu's mother didn't dare to say anything, just thinking about why Yinhua was so greedy, she didn't know how to give the little tiger first if she had something good.The little tiger likes grandma the most, but every time the grandma comes, she will first ask Yinhua if the little tiger is good, and only when Yinhua says good, Sun will give him delicious food.Only then did he become more obedient, and he didn't dare to get angry with Yinhua anymore.

The first month was barely over, but the elders had no intention of leaving. Xu Mu had already started to take care of the family, and Yinhua got along with them peacefully as usual, except that she was a little angry when she saw the cub who was getting more and more mischievous.However, she quickly solved this problem. She sent the six-year-old tiger cub to the college where his bowels were currently attending, and usually brought the little bear with him.

Mr. Jin's academy has a good reputation in this area. Now the academy has expanded a bit, and another gentleman has been hired to help children enlightenment, and he is responsible for teaching older children.Little Tiger was a little reluctant when he was sent to the college, but when he saw that there were three uncles and many children playing with him, he calmed down and began to study hard.

Once the little tiger was not at home, the house became deserted, and the elders put all their energy on the little bear again, and Yinhua let them go, and only asked Xia Bai to keep an eye on them and not let them feed things randomly.It's just that this peace was soon broken again. Before the elders mentioned the matter of going back, Xu Mu's younger sister Xu Lan brought her family to the capital.

Xu Lan's husband's surname is Yan, and his family is regarded as a farming and studying family. His father is Lizheng in a village, and his cousin on the other side of his natal family is a squire who had a feud with Xu Lan's uncle Zhang Liang.Now that the two have cleared up their suspicions, they even deliberately married to maintain their relationship.This Yan Xiucai is the only son in the family, and he is well-matched to be married to the Jinshi's sister, but Xu Lan's speech and behavior are very vulgar, which is very different from some ladies he has seen in the town. If it is not for her brother , and her sister-in-law's family's height, he really doesn't want to talk to her.

Xu Lan came up with the idea of ​​going to Beijing this time. Her husband has not been admitted to Juren, so he cannot enter Beijing to take the imperial examination this year, but it is rare that her parents are both in the capital this year. Husband came to Beijing to see and see in advance, it would be best if he could find a place to stay in Beijing.She thought that Yinhua was a young lady from the Hou's residence, and it was not easy to arrange an errand for her husband, but she never thought that Yinhua would not be willing to help her.

When Yinhua saw the couple with their two sons and one daughter appearing at the door of the house, she was really speechless for a while.

"Sister-in-law, I brought Da Ya and Da Lang Erlang to see you." Xu Lan approached and said affectionately, holding her youngest son who was not yet a year old.

Yinhua came back to her senses immediately, and immediately welcomed her in affectionately, and at the same time called Xu's father and Xu's mother to come out.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, my younger sister is here, come and see." She said to the servants next to her: "Go quickly, get the master here, and say that the uncle's family is here."

"Sister-in-law, there's no need, the eldest brother is still on duty, so there's no need to hurry back." Yan Xiucai said hastily.

Yinhua smiled, nodded, and said to the man: "By the way, go to the Hou's mansion, just say that there are guests at home today, so there is no need to come."

"Yes." The girl quickly responded.

"Sister-in-law, did we come at the wrong time?" Yan Xiucai said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, family, don't need to be so polite." Yinhua smiled, and she had already heard that Xu Lan asked the three children to control Xu's father and Xu's mother for new year's money, and by the way, she also looked back at Yinhua.

Yinhua smiled, but didn't move. When she gave boxing gifts to her hometown every year, there were three purses in them, which were written as lucky money for the three children. It didn't make sense that she had to make another one after giving them all.Seeing that Yinhua didn't move, Xu Lan wanted to step forward to remind her, but Yan Xiucai frowned and stared at her.

Xu Lan didn't dare to go forward immediately, so she had to change the subject and ask, "Sister-in-law, which room do we live in?"

Yinhua smiled lightly, then pointed to a room next to her and said, "This one."

"This room?" Xu Lan went in and took a look. The layout inside was rather elegant, but it was a bit small, and her family couldn't fit so many people. "Will it be a little smaller?"

"It's a little small, please make it up." Yinhua said with a smile, then turned her head and ordered: "Go and pack up the young master's things inside, and put his quilt on the couch in the main room."

Yinhua's house is not big. There is a main room with two guest rooms, and a utility room and a servant's room at the back.Xu's father and Xu's mother lived in the large guest room, and the small room was originally cleaned up by Yinhua for the little tiger, who should sleep alone when he is six years old.After he entered school, Yinhua let him move into this room. After a lot of effort these days, he got used to living in it and stopped making noise, but who knew he had to move out again.

When she heard that her grandson's house was gone, Xu's mother was a little unhappy and said, "Why don't you let the little tiger sleep with us?"

"Grandma, let the elder sister of my younger sister's family sleep with you. There are three children in her family, and I'm afraid they won't be able to fit in one couch."

Just as she was talking, Xia Hong asked, "Ma'am, there are not enough bedding."

"Go out and buy a new bed."

"Household this month..."

Xia Hong was about to say something when she was stared at by Yinhua, and the two immediately went to the side to talk. Later, when Xu Lan heard that Yinhua was going to the Hou's mansion to borrow a quilt, she thought it would be better to buy a new bed with the wrong money. Could it be that she Even if they borrowed some money, the Hou Mansion would ask her to pay it back.

"Sister-in-law, why don't we go live in a hotel outside." Yan Xiucai said with some shame, he didn't expect the son-in-law of the Hou's mansion to live such a poor life.

"You have come from a long way, why should you go to live in an inn outside? Besides, this season is when students from all over the world come to rush for exams, the inn is probably full, and the price is not cheap. Nowadays, a room is the cheapest I'm afraid it will cost ten taels of silver a day."

"It's so expensive!" Xu Lan exclaimed, and Yan Xiucai gave her a disgusted look.

"It's still not good. Well, the house is already being tidied up, so don't be too polite."

While talking, Xia Hong came over with the snacks she had just bought, and the group went to Xu's father and Xu's mother's room to eat and talk.The two children of Yan's family are very naughty, and they want to touch and take something when they see something novel. Yinhua heard the movement and saw that Xu Lan didn't care, so she didn't make a sound. Anyway, it's not in her room .After a while, Da Ya took out a golden plum hairpin from Mother Xu's dressing box.
