The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 188
Xiuxiu also didn’t know anything. I really thought that my parents asked me to come and live at my aunt’s house. They asked me to come and play, and I was very happy.
Sitting on Liu Xuer’s kang, Xiuxiu didn’t say a word, she reached out and took the apple on the table to eat, when Liu Xuer saw it, she pursed her lips and smiled, and asked the maid to peel the apple Cut the skin into cubes, and bring more fruits of various colors.
“Sister Xu’er, what do you think of my embroidery?” Xiuxiu brought her embroidery work to Xu’er, asked her to evaluate it, and said aggrievedly: “No matter what. No matter how hard I work, my mother doesn’t look down on it, she says that it’s a shame to take out my embroidery work.”
Liu Xuer held her embroidered sachet and a bellyband in her hand, smiled and said: “It’s good, I think it’s pretty good. Aunt is not satisfied, are you talking to me? Did the girls in the workshop compare?” Picking up the bellyband, he laughed firstly: “This…you brought it all?”
Xiuxiu also blushed slightly and said with a smile: “I haven’t worn it yet, I think the peony flowers on this one are the best I embroidered, so I’ll show you. And asked strangely: “The girl in the workshop, do you do embroidery well? I heard that there is a man named Zhang Bing, seems to be the best?”
Liu Xuer thought for a moment and shook her head: “No, they just do too much. When they were selected, they chose a good embroidery work, but in terms of details, it’s not as good as we do it ourselves. Yes, after all, we have done little and refined it ourselves.”
Xiuxiu complained: “My mother doesn’t give me a good word for what she asks? I keep saying that I can’t compare to this, I can’t compare to that… I don’t want to compare with them at all!”
Liu Xuer said with a smile: “Auntie is also looking forward to her daughter becoming a phoenix.”
“My mother praised that Zhang Bing the most, saying that even the eldest aunt liked it…”
Just as she said that, Liu Xuer’s maid called Xiaoyue’s in and said, “The eldest young lady is here.”
According to the voice, Shao Rong came in with an embroidered stretcher in his hand, and said with a smile, “Xiuxiu is here, I’ll come over and talk too.”
Liu Xuer and Xiuxiu both stood up and greeted with a smile, Liu Xuer looked at Shao Rong’s face, it seemed normal, but she just arrived at the door, maybe she heard it.
Xiuxiu thought so too, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she kept looking at Catkins.
Shao Rong sat down with a face as usual, saw the apron on the kang, and also laughed ‘puchi’, picked it up and looked at it: “This is… What? already?”
Xiuxiu blushed with shame. She had a good relationship with Liu Xuer since she was a child, so she had no scruples, but Shao Rong was still a stranger to her, so she was very embarrassed at this time .
Liu Xu’er smiled and said, “Xiuxiu will show me her embroidery.”
Shao Rong looked at it, smiled and sighed and put it down: “It’s much better than me,” he said and showed Xiuxiu the embroidery stretcher in his hand: “Look at my embroidery work , compared with you, they have all been eaten by pigs.”
Xiuxiu was amused and laughed again. She looked at the embroidery work of the eldest sister-in-law, and she really felt that she was not as good as her. She finally felt a little more comfortable, and saw that the eldest sister-in-law did not hear it because The words were not happy, but also relieved.
The sisters and aunts talked for a while, and Xiaomeng from He’s side came over and said that the wife asked them to sit over, so the three of them packed up.
He apparently wanted to call Xiuxiu over to have a relationship with Liu Xuer. Xiuxiu had a good relationship with Liu Xuer. If her daughter could agree to this, it would be half the battle.
It’s just that although Liu Xuer likes Xiuxiu, she will never agree to it. Besides, she and He think differently on this matter. Her own opinions, including those of her family, are of course important. But the most important thing is the meaning of the second brother himself. Who the second brother is willing to marry is the most important point.
Xiuxiu obviously didn’t know, she hurriedly put away her embroidery work and followed her to the front yard, chatting with her aunt.
Just sitting down for a while, Liu Tao came in with a silver ingot in his hand. That little maid just came here, and the training is not in place. Sometimes she knows the report, sometimes she forgets it, or she doesn’t know where she went, because the He family and the others are from the countryside, and the rules are not as good as those of the big family. Big and forgiving to the next person.
So when Liu Tao came in, he didn’t expect so many people in the room. He just called out, “Second Aunt, I can’t take this money…” Then he saw a room of female relatives , he stopped immediately, scratched his head, and then smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, Xu’er is here too, oh, Xiuxiu is here!”
The three hurriedly smiled and greeted Liu Tao. As soon as Liu Xuer saw the silver in Liu Tao’s hand, she immediately reacted. This is the monthly money of this month. No wonder in the morning, The eldest brother is looking for the third brother in the yard. Yesterday happened to be the first time to give out monthly money. I thought that Liu Tao didn’t realize that he had it, but today my elder brother found it for him.
Liu Xuer pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing Liu Tao scratching her head again, she probably felt that it was inappropriate to say this at this moment, so she turned to leave, so she stopped: “Third brother, this is Yue. The whole family has money, why don’t you?”
Liu Tao could only stop when she saw what she said, and said to Mrs He: “Second Aunt, I can’t ask for this money, I’ve already got my wages in the shop…”
Liu Tao didn’t want to talk to her, just because he knew that he would definitely not be able to tell her, but now Mr. He doesn’t speak, only listens to Liu Xuer, he has no choice but to turn his face and laugh with him Said: “Sister, I am different…”
“Why is it different? Unless you don’t treat us as a family.” Liu Xuer said.
He said: “Yes, Tao, you have lived at home for many years, just like my son! Why are you so clear with us? Just take it.”
Shao Rong also quickly smiled and said, “Third brother take it.”
Xiuxiu followed suit: “Yeah, take it, third brother! I always thought you were the real son of my aunt!”
Everyone was amused, and Liu Tao was also amused. He knew that he couldn’t tell these women, so he could only put them away, but he was embarrassed, scratched his head, and said with a smile: ” Then I’ll go to the shop.”
Liu Tao also knew that Xiuxiu liked fruit, smiled and nodded.
Liu Lin was completely absent-minded, while Xiuxiu didn’t know and didn’t react. Mr. He is the only one who is trying blindly.
Liu Xuer is also calm, just waiting for Shicheng to inquire about the result.
In the evening, when the children went to rest, Liu Changgeng reminded He, Xiuxiu, would she be willing? It’s the same sentence, although it is the parents’ order, but the children themselves are unwilling and the trouble is not good, what should the children do if they are stubborn? Especially now that Liu Lin definitely won’t agree. You ignored Liu Lin and brought Xiu Xiu over. If Xiu Xiu herself is also unwilling, what would you do?
One more thing, Liu Changgeng reminded He that Liu Lin didn’t know He’s plan yet. If he did, would he still look good on Xiuxiu? Even if our children are sensible and won’t give Xiuxiu a face, cold avoidance is definitely indispensable. When Xiuxiu knows the reason, will Xiuxiu still be willing? She is a twelve-year-old girl with thin skin. If she saw Liu Lin’s face, how could she bear it? Seriously, asking her to come to live, isn’t she humiliating?
He felt empowered at once! I was really reminded, and immediately I felt that my thoughts were too incomprehensible! If Liu Lin really knew about this, it would give Xiuxiu a face… Wouldn’t this relative be embarrassed in the end!
He was thinking of forcing Liu Lin to express his attitude, but now he regretted it. Not to mention forcing Liu Lin, he didn’t even dare to let Liu Lin know about it! Still need to talk through Liu Lin first, Liu Lin agrees, this matter can continue to talk about. He really regretted it. He shouldn’t have picked up Xiuxiu in a hurry, but he has already picked up. Out of ideas for a while.
The next day, after thinking about it, Mr. He could only find a way to find Liu Xuer.
But I asked Xiaomeng to find it, but Liu Xuer was not at home and went out in the morning. He could only wait anxiously.
At the same time, Xiuxiu was following Liu Tao out. In the morning, Liu Xuer said that she had something to go out and asked her if she wanted to go to the street. If she wanted to go shopping, she asked Liu Sen to accompany her.
Of course Xiu Xiu is willing! Liu Xuer went to find Liu Sen. Who knew that Liu Sen had already run away, and she didn’t know where to play. Liu Xuer had no choice. She had to arrange Xiuxiu to go out, otherwise Xiuxiu would be so depressed at home alone? I could only come to my sister-in-law, but my brother and sister-in-law were busy.
The family’s monthly money has just been distributed, and the household account has also been handed in. Shao Rong follows Liu Shu to learn to read and keep accounts every day, and he is very busy!
Finding and looking for Liu Xuer but not finding a suitable person, she can only ask Xiuxiu to follow Liu Tao, the elder brother He Zhongzhou who works in Liutao’s shop is called He Zhongzhou to lead Xiu Show to go shopping.
Liu Tao of course agreed, and led Xiuxiu out to his shop.
He Zhongzhou came early, opened the shop door and was cleaning. He Zhongzhou was a little embarrassed when he heard from his sister that he wanted to go shopping. He also knew that he was a buddy, and his identity was nothing special. What happened?
Fortunately, Liu Tao agreed and told him to lead Xiuxiu around the street, be careful not to get lost, and come back when there are many people. He Zhongzhou hurriedly agreed, thanked him again, and led Xiuxiu out to go shopping.
