Chapter 361: Xia Guchun has another plan
361 Xia Guchun looked at Xia Beibei's sleepy appearance again. She didn't know how jealous she was. She stole the black early in the morning, just to be able to embroider a few more stitches, but Xia Beibei was able to sleep until Three poles in the sun.
It was clear that Xia Beibei was a Jiang Liuer. She didn't even know who her parents were, but she had a better life than her. She wished she could rob Xia Beibei of everything she had at the moment.
"That's right." Before Xia Ziyin could finish speaking, Xia Beibei interrupted her with a clear expression, "Then go, Uncle Niu's ox cart, it shouldn't leave yet, do you have any copper coins on him? ?"
How could Xia Beibei not know what Xia Ziyin was thinking about? It wasn't impossible, but she knew how busy the family was these days. Even if Shiqiu and the others were free, they should be fine. Rest instead of sending Xia Ziyin to town.
There is an ox cart in the village, so Xia Ziyin should go by herself. If she doesn't have copper coins, she can go out, but Shiqiu and the others will never send her to the town.
"Uh." Xia Ziyin was choked by her words and gritted her teeth.
Where did she say she wanted to ride on Uncle Niu's bullock cart? Don't you have a horse-drawn carriage at home? Wouldn't it be enough to ask Wu Shiqiu or Wu Shiqing to send her there?
However, Xia Beibei has already said so, if she says anything else, she will appear too petty, and she can only suppress the anger in her heart.
"Yes, brother gave me some last time." She whispered.
"Then you go to town, be careful, go early and come back early." Xia Beibei warned her, then went to the kitchen with her.
They haven't had a banquet yet, so they still live in the old house, and after eating, they have to go to the new house to work.
Xia Ziyin took a deep breath, lowered her head and returned to Sang Jinghong's room, picked up a bag of embroidered handkerchiefs wrapped in cloth, and left the yard.
"Shiqiu, this little girl, is still thinking of letting us drive her in a carriage." After Xia Ziyin left, Wu Shiqing walked out of the kitchen.
I don't even think about it, what was she doing when they were too busy to find a way to go, and she even thought about letting them drive her to the town in a carriage, which is really beautiful.
"Just ignore it." Wu Shiqiu replied lightly.
She also didn't expect that this girl, she doesn't need to do anything by herself, and she even thought of borrowing Jiuniang's hand to command them. The calculation is good enough.
"Miss Jiu finally slept in and was woken up by her." Wu Shiqing pouted.
She can ignore everything, but she wakes Miss Jiu up, can she ignore it? They can deeply understand how busy and tired these days are.
They are people who practice martial arts, so they are not afraid of this hardship, but how can Jiu girls bear it?
"Is breakfast ready? I have to go to the new house later." Wu Shiqiu asked.
"It's ready."
…
Because he knew that Xia Beibei's family was going to move to a new house and would treat guests, many people who would not have a word with Sang Jinghong all year round came to help.
Naturally, just to be able to eat a delicious meal.
However, this completely **** off Xia Guchun, who was sulking already.
Xia Jiuniang, Xia Jiuniang, in the entire Xiajia Village, Xia Jiuniang is the one who speaks the most. In everyone's eyes, where is he the village chief.
Building such a big thing, he didn't even tell the village chief, he went to the county to get the house deed. Don't you know that these things need to be discussed with the village chief?
With the support of Lord Shizi, is it amazing?
"Father, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat." Xia Ziqi looked at the vegetables and meat on the table, and wanted to put it in her mouth quickly.
But, my father doesn't move chopsticks. She is a daughter, how dare she go, afraid of being scolded by her father, and now her father is very aggrieved.
It all blames that Xia Jiuniang, who opposes her father every day. She is obviously an immoral stinky girl who seduces the nobles of the family. However, when people in the village see that her family has built such a good house, they all say that she is good.
Don't they think that Xia Jiuniang's silver fell from the sky? It is clearly to seduce men and get dirty money.
"Where's your mother?" Xia Guchun glanced at the table, where there were only two bowls of rice, and became even more angry.
Ever since Xia Ziyin was sold to Xia Beibei, that dead girl has never given her a good face, and dared to sleep in a separate room with him, even eating and eating.
Is this a plan to break up with him?
Hmph, she didn't even think about it, she was going to marry him back then, but now she regrets it, it's too late.
"Mother, she went to town, Dad, didn't you know, mother went to sell embroidery." Xia Ziqi replied.
It’s just that my mother sold the embroidery before, and the money was given to my father, but now my father is a copper plate, so I don’t even think about getting it from my mother.
"What embroidery does she sell." Xia Guchun angrily knocked on the table.
used to point to Lu Shixiang to sell embroidery to supplement the family, but now, he can't see the silver at all, he naturally no longer wants her to sell embroidery.
It's best that Lu Shixiang doesn't have a single copper plate, so he has to come and beg him.
"How did you get back outside, so lively?"
"Outside?" Xia Ziqi glanced outside, only to hear voices, but to see no one.
However, even if she can't see anyone, she can guess one or two, "I guess she went to help Xia Jiuniang's house, but you don't know, I heard that Xia Jiuniang bought two pigs when moving to a new house, and Many chickens, ducks and fish are used for banquets, and now in the village, many people go to her house."
It's both fish and meat, and I can't eat a few meals throughout the year, so I can't flatter others.
If it wasn't for the grudge against Xia Jiuniang, she would have wanted to go there for a meal. That's a lot of meat. Since the elder brother left, how could she have tasted meat? Even when it comes to meat, it's only today. smelled.
"Father, let's ignore them, let's eat first." Hurry up and let her taste the meat, she was so anxious.
However, after hearing Xia Ziqi's words, Xia Guchun slapped his chopsticks on the table.
Xia Jiuniang, it's Xia Jiuniang again, how could she coax all the people in the Xia Village to turn towards her? Isn't it just a banquet, what can be delicious.
"Ziqi, do you know what Xia Jiu's family bought?" he asked.
"I heard from the villagers that Xia Jiuniang bought a lot of things." When it comes to food, Xia Ziqi gets excited.
"I bought two pigs, a sheep, and a lot of chickens and ducks, as well as fish, shrimp, and..." Anyway, Xia Jiu's family bought them all.
At this moment, she did not know how much she envied Xia Ziyin, wishing she was the one who was sold, not Xia Ziyin.
"Where did she get that much money?" Xia Guchun frowned.
Even if Dongfang Yu took a fancy to him, his son-in-law has already left, can he still give Xia Jiuniang a lot of money?
"Dad, don't you know? I heard from the aunts in the village that Xia Jiuniang can make something called concentric knots, as well as silk flowers, which are sold in the town. The business is very good, and the price is very expensive. I heard , she earned a few hundred taels in a few days of work," Xia Ziqi said.
The fact that Xia Jiuniang would make up concentric knots has long been spread in the village, but she, as a father, doesn't know it yet.
"What?" Xia Guchun was shocked.
So, that Xia Jiuniang is still a sweet pastry? It is impossible to earn a few hundred taels in a few days, but if you can earn a few hundred taels a year, you are a rich family.
He heard that even the county magistrate does not have a salary of a few hundred taels.
"What you said is true?"
"Really, everyone in the village knows it." Xia Ziqi nodded.
Xia Guchun grinded his teeth, and his heart was about to be suffocated. Xia Jiuniang, who he disliked at the beginning, was so capable.
When he found food in the deep mountains, he thought that Xia Jiuniang was hungry and was forced to go up the mountain and rescued Dongfang Yu.
But now...she can make a few hundred taels all of a sudden?
Xia Ziqi looked at her father carefully, and saw the light of calculation flashing in his eyes, and knew that he was thinking of some bad idea again.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" she asked softly.
"Ziqi, your eldest brother is going to marry Xia Jiuniang, will it help his career?" Xia Guchun asked her daughter, and she also asked herself.
Having been the village chief for so many years, does he still know how much money it will cost to be a high official and climb up the ranks, and his son Xia Guchun must be an honest official.
In this case, you have to have a daughter-in-law who can make money for your son.
Before, he thought that as long as Muzi became an official and married a merchant's daughter, it would be helpful to him, but now...
He suddenly felt that Xia Jiuniang was also capable and good-looking. If he could marry her, even if his son found a better girl in the future, it would be enough to demote her to a concubine.
"What?" Xia Ziqi looked at Xia Guchun in astonishment.
What is my father thinking, that Xia Jiuniang, the girl that the eldest son of the East has taken a fancy to, her eldest brother, can she rob the eldest son of a woman?
"Father, this is not..."
"Just do it like this, after a good meal, Dad will go to the town to buy some things, and go to Sang Jinghong's house to propose marriage." Before Xia Ziqi could say anything, Xia Guchun slammed the table and said.
At this moment, he still remembers that there is another Dongfang Yu behind Xia Beibei. He only thinks that Xia Beibei is helpful to his son's career.
"Father, you..." Xia Ziqi was simply frightened by her father.
However, Xia Jiuniang, that woman, maybe as long as her father comes to propose marriage, she is really willing. In the past, Xia Jiuniang and her eldest brother were considered golden girls in Xiajia Village.
Moreover, Xia Jiuniang is also capable. If she can come to her house, she will learn Xia Jiuniang's skills in the future, and when she gets married, she will not be bullied by her mother-in-law.
Let dad try it, maybe, it will really succeed.
