The reason why Xing Xiuyan came early in the morning and rushed over in the Sun family's carriage was naturally because Jia Yingchun heard that Xing Zhong was very dangerous last night, and was afraid of taking responsibility, so he sent someone to Rongguo Mansion to report before dawn.
Xing Xiuyan's mother was angry and annoyed when she heard that her husband was drinking bile and refused to come to see him.
There was no choice but to let Xing Xiuyan show up.
Fortunately, the two families are also relatives, and they have only been here a few days ago, so there is no such thing as a pass.
It just never occurred to me that, in such a hurry, I ran into Sun Shaozong in front of the corner gate.
The moment Xing Xiuyan was actually quite embarrassed when she opened the curtain and looked at each other.
After all, after being a guest in the Sun Mansion, she also had some absurd thoughts that should not have been there, and it was inevitable that she would be ashamed when she suddenly bumped into the master at this time.
However, she was a precocious one after all, and she was not willing to let her temperament fool around. Instead, she forced herself to restrain her messy mind, and got out of the car and took the initiative to thank Sun Shaozong.
"My father has no status, but Lord Laosun took care of him."
Seeing that she said a thousand blessings without being humble or arrogant, the green skirt of Yingge was propped up in the snow, just like a narcissus blooming in the snow.
Although enchanting is not enough, it is better than fresh and tender.
Sun Shaozong secretly praised, and thought that Jia Baoyu really deserved to be the male protagonist of the original book, and the tender cabbage around him was too late to cut.
Speaking of...
Is this original a tragedy of love, or is it a stallion ending
Thinking about whether there are some or not, Sun Shaozong also smiled and said, "You don't need to be more polite to the sisters of the Xing family. Yesterday, Baoyu and sister-in-law were mainly busy, so I just moved my mouth."
Saying that, he cupped his hands again and said, "I'm in a hurry to go to the yamen to handle official business. I'm really sorry. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany my sister to the guest room in the East Crossing Courtyard."
Xing Xiuyan saw that he did not take credit, so he bent down and bowed again, and then retreated to the side.
And since the carriage she was riding came from the Sun family, how could the driver dare to stop the second master
Pulled the reins early and flashed far away.
Therefore, after Sun Shaozong got into the carriage again, the four-hoofed draught horse kicked out of the corner gate.
After watching Sun Shaozong's carriage go away, Xing Xiuyan turned around and asked the driver, "I'm afraid I will drive back again and take me to my father's guest room."
The coachman did not dare to leave the post without permission, so he complained to Xing Xiuyan, and went to the stable to greet his companions before leading Xing Xiuyan to the guest room in the east courtyard.
Less gossip.
But when it comes to the small courtyard where Xing Zhong is located, Jia Baoyu is not in the next room, and even with his little servants, he also hides far away.
Only the old woman sent by Yuanyang was serving in the immediate vicinity.
At this time, Xing Zhong was also more than half awake, and with a gloomy old face, he was slumped on the floor, competing with a cup of medicinal food that nourished the stomach and qi.
Seeing his daughter come in from outside, he finally showed a smile, put the medicinal meal on the bedside, and waved again and again: "Daughter, Dad knew that the first one came to see me, and it was you who was right!"
"Mother misses you too, but in this weather, I was afraid that she would accidentally fall again, so I rushed over."
As Xing Xiuyan said that, she picked up the medicinal meal and took a spoon to test the temperature. While delivering it to Xing Zhong's mouth, she couldn't help but persuade: "Father, it's not my daughter who told you, you are so old. Why don't you know how to cherish your body?"
"Humph!"
Xing Zhong snorted coldly, and was about to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth, staring at the old woman beside him.
When Xing Xiuyan saw this, she first took out a dozen copper coins from her sleeve. After thinking about it, she replaced it with half a dollar of silver, and quietly stuffed it into the old woman's hand, saying apologetically, "Thanks to my sister-in-law yesterday. I support it, although the money is less, it is still my heart, so don’t dislike it, sister-in-law Wanwang.”
"No, no! It stands to reason that we shouldn't accept this money."
The old woman smiled and waved her hand, mouth full of push, but she had already pocketed the reward.
Immediately, she thanked her again, and then she left the guest room wisely.
bang~
As soon as the old woman went out, Xing Zhong slammed his fist on the edge of the bed, and said angrily, "This son of a bitch has lost all his money!"
"Father! Keep your voice down!"
Xing Xiuyan was taken aback by him, and hurriedly tiptoed to the door to peep outside.
She was relieved when she saw that the old woman had reached the bottom of the door and was chatting happily with others through the crack of the door.
Turning around, he couldn't help but scolded: "Dad, how much did you drink yesterday? How come you are still talking nonsense at this time!"
"Where am I talking nonsense?"
Seeing his daughter's behavior, Xing Zhong knew that he had just acted recklessly, but how could he be willing to admit his wrongs in front of his daughter
So he scratched his neck and insisted: "Let's talk about yesterday, it was agreed that it was your uncle who invited you, but when he was there, he even said that there is something going on with the stone nerd, and it will be later. No one was seen."
Speaking of which, he gritted his teeth more and more, grabbed the mattress on the bed and said bitterly: "Those idiots ate 12 taels of silver, and then smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped away, leaving your father and me alone. in the store!"
"If it hadn't happened to pass by Mr. Bao from the second room, you should go to the restaurant to redeem me today!"
Although the price of goods in the capital is not comparable to other places, twelve taels of silver is enough for the village family to spend for half a year.
Therefore, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help slandering her uncle when she heard the words, but she was a junior, and now she was relying on others, and she didn't want to talk about people's strengths behind her back.
So I just persuaded: "Father, as the saying goes, eat a piece of money, you will gain wisdom, you should stop interacting with those people in the future, and find a serious business..."
"That's right!"
Xing Xiuyan wanted Daddy to find a serious business student, but before he could finish speaking, Xing Zhong replied in a wrong way and hurriedly said, "It's time for our family to find a serious support!"
Serious reliance
My aunt doesn't rely much on the Lord, but where can I find some serious support
Therefore, Xing Xiuyan shook her head in disapproval and said, "Father, it's better to seek others than to seek ourselves. If we can gain a firm foothold in this capital with our ability, wouldn't it be better to rely on others everywhere?"
It's a pity that Xing Zhong's words went in from his left ear and went out from his right ear. Instead, his eyes wandered and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Seeing this, Xing Xiuyan could only sigh, and silently scooped up the medicinal meal and fed it to Xing Zhong.
"Daughter, what do you think is in this medicinal food? Bird's nest is not like bird's nest, and it has a strange smell when chewing."
About the feeling that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Xing Zhong chewed and asked absentmindedly.
I heard someone suddenly laughing outside: "This is a serious golden-swept bird's nest. It is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary bird's nest. That is to say, our grandfathers and wives are rich, and we are reluctant to use them to entertain guests."
But it turned out to be the old woman just now, who went back with a basin of warm water.
Xing Xiuyan hurriedly got up and took it in her hand, and declined the old woman's proposal to stay and wash.
After finally sending the old woman away, he turned around and saw that Xing Zhongzheng was staring at the medicinal meal with gleaming eyes, as if he wanted to squeeze his eyeballs in to get a touch of wealth.
Xing Xiuyan sighed helplessly, stepped forward and picked up the medicated food again: "Since it's my sister's heart, we shouldn't waste it."
Xing Zhong opened his mouth to catch a spoonful, and he felt that it was more than a hundred times more delicious than before, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to signal his daughter to continue feeding before finishing chewing.
Just like this, after eating the medicinal meal, Xing Zhong touched it for a long time, and suddenly said: "My dear daughter, I probably hurt my internal organs yesterday, I am afraid that I will be raised here for a few days. Just get up."
"How does this make it?"
Xing Xiuyan was stunned when she heard the words, and said anxiously, "Yesterday was a coincidence. Now that you are sober, why should you continue to trouble you..."
"No trouble, no trouble!"
Xing Zhong waved his hands again and again: "You also stay in this mansion, just wait for me for a few days."
