Wen Family Has a Wife - Chapter 693
Chapter 693
“Is the girl a guest of the Wen family?” Xie Nianbo asked uncertainly, looking at the strange woman in front of him.
Hu Bihan was startled by the sudden appearance of Xie Nianbo, and was a little panicked.
Xie Nianbo hurriedly took two steps back and waved his hand to explain: “I’m the in-law of the Wen family, because I recognize the clothes of the servants next to you, and I see you hesitated, so I came up and asked, if it’s inconvenient for the girl, I’ll say goodbye first. already.”
The guards beside Hu Bihan hurriedly saluted Xie Nianbo, “My subordinates have seen Uncle Xie.”
Hu Bihan came back to her senses, because of the confirmation of the guards, she also let go of her guard, blessed Fuli, and said softly: “I have seen Uncle Xie, the little girl is new to the capital and is very unfamiliar with the capital, so I was a little rude just now, please thank you. Don’t be surprised, sir.”
Xie Nianbo felt really awkward when he heard this, Uncle Xie, and immediately laughed: “You don’t need to call me Uncle Xie, the servants call me according to their seniority. I’m not that old.”
Hu Bihan smiled and said softly: “If that’s the case, how about the little girl calling you to thank Young Master?”
Xie Nianbo nodded slightly and asked again, “What’s the matter with the girl? I can help you.”
After speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly, “Although I’m not very familiar with it, I probably know the layout of the nearby Care Street. The Zhuque Street where we are standing now is the most prosperous main street in Beijing, and this street is full of rights and interests. The place for people to buy things is far more expensive than the next few streets, but there are advantages to being expensive.
Because the prices of the shops are much cheaper than those outside, the prices of the shops are much cheaper, and the things are also very good. The girl can tell me where she wants to go or what she wants to buy, and I will show the girl the way. “
Hu Bihan’s eyes lit up, thinking about the 2,000 taels of silver bills in his arms, pursed his lips, and said thoughtfully, “To be honest, the little girl may go to the Duke Anguo’s mansion with her family in these two days, and my grandmother wants me to spend 2,000 yuan. Two to buy something, I don’t know what to buy now.”
Hearing that Hu Bihan was going to be a guest at the Mansion of Anguo, Xie Nianbo was even more happy and said enthusiastically: “This is easy to handle, the Mansion of Anguo is not short of those precious things, you can buy some snacks or food, or vote for other things. So, my aunt has recently become obsessed with making clothes, and the girl can send some exquisite embroidery or the popular silk flowers, but these things can be found everywhere in the capital, and they are not special.”
Hu Bihan noticed Xie Nianbo’s “auntie”, but she didn’t ask more, but nodded silently with a smile on her face. In the end, under the leadership of Xie Nianbo, Hu Bihan chose an exquisite small embroidered screen, the size of a fan. , embroidered with prosperous begonia flowers, under the begonia flowers is a lotus pond, and a bunch of mandarin ducks are playing in the water above.
In addition to this embroidered screen, accompanied by Xie Nianbo, she chose a delicate and sharp short sword. It cost 1,000 taels for these two, plus those silk flowers and the four treasures of the study, 2,000 taels were gone. .
Hu Bihan came back with a rewarding experience, Shen shi and Wang shi straightened their eyes when they saw the things she bought.
Wang shi frowned and said, “Bihan, that’s two thousand taels! Why did you buy these useless little things?”
Mr. Wang frowned as he stared at the silk flowers.
Shen shi was not angry, but asked Hu Bihan seriously: “Why choose these things?”
Hu Bihan’s pretty face was slightly red, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, and said, “Grandmother, mother, I just went to the street, I guess I met the eldest son of the Xie family.”
“What?” Shen shi and Wang shi exclaimed in unison, and the stunned expressions on their faces were exactly the same.
Shen shi immediately sat next to Hu Bihan with a gossip look, “Good boy, tell your grandmother, how did you both meet, and what did you say? What does that boy look like?”
Wang also quietly touched the other side of Hu Bihan at this moment. Although he didn’t ask anything, it was clear that he planned to smash Hu Bihan upside down.
Hu Bihan was shy, and didn’t notice the eager gossip eyes of her grandmother and mother, and whispered: “I was on the street, and my eyes were blind, and he happened to recognize the clothes of the aunt’s guard, and he saw that I was a man. With a new face, he stood still until he came up to greet him a few times. After knowing that I was a relative of the Wen family, he enthusiastically offered to help.
At that time, I was in trouble, so I agreed, and while walking, I said that I guessed that he was probably the son of the Xie family, the two sons of the Xie family, and the aunt’s guard called him Uncle Xie, so I think he should be the eldest son of the Xie family. .
He also suggested that I buy these things. He said that there is no shortage of good things in the mansion of Anguo. Instead of giving those expensive ones, it is better to send some new ideas. He also said that Anguogong likes to practice martial arts. His wife Anguo has recently become obsessed with making clothes, so I chose that screen, the other silk flowers were given to girls, and the four treasures of the study were given to men, so that no one would fall down, wouldn’t it be nice? “
After hearing this, Shen shi couldn’t stop laughing, “You young people are still thoughtful, so it should be arranged like this! By the way, what do you think about that Mr. Xie? Is he a steady person? Can he speak rudely?”
Shen’s face could not wait to write the words “Do you like Mr. Xie?”.
Hu Bihan was embarrassed when asked, “Grandmother! How do I know how he is when I just saw him? But from his performance just now, this person is quite real, and there is no such thing as those nouveau riches who will not recognize their six relatives once they are in power. He is arrogant, and his behavior and speech are quite well-behaved, and he can’t say that he is polite, but it has nothing to do with vulgarity, it is normal.”
“Yo! It seems that our girl is watching carefully!” Shen shi quipped.
Hu Bihan realized that she was being rhetorical, and got up and stomped her feet angrily, “I won’t tell you, I’m going back to rest, everything is here, grandmother and mother look at the arrangement.”
After all, she almost fled in embarrassment.
Later, when Hu Yiyun came back, he hurriedly went to the yard where Shen and the others lived. Hu Bihan and Wang were resting at this time. Shen was getting older, sleeping less and sleeping lightly. He woke up when he heard the movement. , “What time is it?”
Hu Yiyun stepped forward, mixed with Shen shi’s arm, and said coquettishly, “Mother, it’s already time, I came back after dinner at the Anguo Gong’s Mansion, did you eat?”
Shen shi rubbed his brows, stretched his waist, and said, “I haven’t eaten yet! I’ve been really hungry since I slept in the afternoon. What about your sister-in-law and Bihan? Are they both awake?”
Hu Yiyun shook his head. “It was dark in the yard when I came, and I didn’t dare to disturb them, so I came to your house first, so I’ll ask the kitchen to make some porridge for you, you can use it first, sister-in-law and Bihan Would you like to shout and eat together?”
Shen shi nodded hesitantly, “Tell them to get up, they will be starving to sleep like this until tomorrow!”
