Is that young woman in a yellow shirt with her hair in a high bun her sister?
Xia Shang looked at them carefully and found that they were somewhat similar.
Xia Shang was originally a pretty boy who was so handsome that women would envy him, and his sister was also a first-class beauty. I heard that my husband was a well-known civil servant in Yangzhou City, and he was very successful when he got married.
But now Xia Xinyi's life is not easy. Less than a year after getting married, her husband went to the capital to attend the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, the Spring Festival failed, and her husband decided to stay in the capital to study. This stay lasted for more than a year. In addition to paying monthly bills, the husband
There is no news other than the letter. This spring has just passed, and I don’t know whether I passed the exam or not.
Xia Xinyi didn't plan to have anything to do with her natal family at this time, but she thought that her natal family had connections in the capital, so she could only hear some news about the capital from her natal family. Now that only Xia Shang is left in her natal family, Xia Xinyi is afraid that the last brother
He was also dead, so he hurried to find out more about him.
Although they are brother and sister, Xia Xinyi and Xia Shang cannot deal with each other. This is a woman with strong vanity. She uses the dowry brought by her natal family to support her man, but she looks down on her natal family's business and thinks that she has found a talented husband-in-law.
It’s time to cut ties with my parents’ family, and not be so stinky that my parents passed away without even seeing me.
Li Zhong, who was aware of the grievances involved, despised the eldest lady the most. When he saw her today, he couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks.
"Hey, isn't this the eldest lady? Have you become talented and learned by following the educated husband? Are you here today to recite two poems to the old slave?"
Xia Xinyi rolled his eyes: "I'm just a horseman, I'm too embarrassed to tell you this."
After speaking, he bypassed Li Zhong and walked to the fire under the eaves.
"Second brother, I'm here to ask you something today."
Xia Shang was kind, smiled and nodded: "What's the matter?"
"Don't my parents cooperate with wine merchants in the capital? I think you can get some news about the capital by coming here, right?"
Of course Xia Shang didn't know, so he looked at Li Zhong.
Li Zhong nodded: "It has some connections with the capital."
Xia Xinyi's eyebrows were filled with joy: "Is there any news about my husband?"
"Sister, to be honest, my brother has just recovered from a serious illness and has no memory. I'm afraid I can only ask Uncle Zhong about matters in the capital."
"Have you really lost your memory?"
"real."
Xia Xinyi squinted her eyes, then changed her posture and asked Li Zhong with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, you are an old slave of my natal family. Whatever happens at home will definitely not escape your ears. I hope you can reveal something about my husband."
News is coming.”
"This old slave is just a groom, how can he dare to talk to the eldest lady?"
The little maid next to Xia Xinyi was not happy when she heard this: "Hey! You blind old thing, it's your honor for my wife to ask you. If you know anything, hurry up and recruit her. Maybe my wife will give you some reward."
Li Zhong curled his lips and refused to get angry with her: "Young Master, I still have some work to do. You can chat with the eldest lady about household matters."
After saying that, Li Zhong wanted to leave, but this time Xia Xinyi was anxious: "Uncle Zhong! Uncle Zhong! Don't be angry! Brother, look at it, look at how Uncle Zhong...you, you, you...you help
Let me talk!"
Xia Shang was not in the mood for intrigues and waved his hand: "Uncle Zhong, if you really know something, just tell me."
"Master, I don't know."
"Hey! Your master has asked you personally, how come you still say you don't know? Are you... are you going to rebel?"
Xia Xinyi was extremely anxious, but Li Zhong still looked lazy and showed his hands to Xia Shang: "Master, think about it, when I was here before, the family business was too busy, who would go and inquire about something that doesn't matter?"
Where is the news about the person you want? Now that the master is gone, the Xia family has suffered another disaster. In the past, those partners would avoid our Xia family, let alone tell us any news about the capital."
It's right to think about it, what can an old slave know?
But if no one knows, how can we continue to wait at home? Will today’s trip be in vain?
Xia Xinyi felt aggrieved. She had nowhere to vent her grievances these past few days. When she became angry, she couldn't control her temper. She waved her hands angrily: "Let's go! It's really unlucky. I shouldn't have come if I had known better."
This is a lousy place! What use do you think your family has? You can't even find out any news about the capital. You deserve to have your family ruined. It's a good thing that I got married early, otherwise I would have been dragged down by you to death! You deserve to be in the field now!
Damn it! Don’t even think about turning over for the rest of your life!”
It was really strange for the woman to get angry. After saying this, Xia Shang didn't feel angry. It seemed that she was not relieved enough. She stamped her feet angrily in the courtyard, but unexpectedly stepped into a mud puddle. Not to mention, she was covered in mud and her cloth shoes got stuck.
It can't be pulled out from the mud.
"Oops! Madam, you splashed mud all over Xiao Hui! What should I do?!"
"You trash, why are you still standing there? Help me pull out my shoes!"
The master and his servants struggled in the mud puddle for a long time without getting the shoes out. Xia Shang couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and asked kindly: "Hey, do you want me to help you?"
"Stop being hypocritical! I...I..."
As he was talking, Xia Xinyi didn't pay attention to his feet. His center of gravity shifted and he immediately fell into the mud.
…
It can be said that I am extremely unlucky today.
Xia Xinyi had never been so embarrassed in her life. She fell into a quagmire and ate a mouthful of mud. She was still bathing in a dilapidated thatched hut, and now she was warming herself by the fire in front of a group of desolate businessmen.
"Ah owe!"
Xia Xinyi sneezed. She was wrapped in the coarse cloth clothes she bought temporarily and felt dizzy. She obviously had a cold.
"I'm telling you! Don't think that if you boil water for me to take a bath and buy me clothes, I will lend you money. From the day I got married, I have nothing to do with the Xia family. You are the one who is suffering now.
Don't count on me for your business. I'll bake it for a while and then leave. Don't come back to us again from now on."
"Earlier, I was begging the young master diligently, but in the blink of an eye, we stopped communicating. I fell out of love faster than turning over a book, and even Liu Yuelou's mother is no match for me!"
Yazhi couldn't stand it anymore, and murmured in a low voice, "The young master said someone sent money, could it be her? Squeezing money out of such a woman would probably be more difficult than killing her.
"
When the words reached Xia Shang's ears, he only smiled softly, and then said to Xia Xinyi: "Sister, I didn't expect you to be so anxious. I could have discussed my brother-in-law's affairs with you."
"Well?" Xia Xinyi was shocked, "Do you know the news about my husband?"
"I don't know, but I can figure it out."
"Figure it out?"
"That's right. When I was in coma last time, a god gave me some guidance on divination and calculation. I might be able to get information about my brother-in-law."
"real?!"
"Madam!" The maid beside Xia Xinyi couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Who in Yangzhou City doesn't know who the young master of the Xia family is?"
How could his younger brother Xia Xinyi not understand?
Logically speaking, she wouldn't believe it, but now she really wants to know the whereabouts of her man. Even if she knows it is false, she should first listen to what Xia Shang says.
"I listen to you, what do you think?"
"What does sister want to do?"
"Character test?"
"Can."
"What character should I test?" Xia Xinyi thought for a while and suddenly saw a big tree outside the courtyard, so he used dry firewood to write the character "tree" on the ground.
"Just test the word 'tree'. How long will it take for my husband to come back?" (To be continued)
