Chapter 334 Conspiracy
The Xu family's thirty-two dowries were considered average in Jiangning City, not enough to be ridiculed.
But now, when her thirty-two-carat dowry was compared with Aunt Guo's thirty-carat dowry, the difference was immediately clear.
Everyone expressed contempt and ridicule towards Mr. Xu who did not often go out to socialize.
"The Xu family was ruined more than ten years ago, and now there is no promising male heir to support the family. In a few years, I am afraid they will be lonely."
"The two aunts of the Xu family have married well, and the two uncles have been transferred to Beijing this year."
"Hmph, that's not bad. The scandal of the Cao family a while ago was not embarrassing enough."
The man lowered his voice as he spoke, so that only three or four people around him could listen, "I heard that the girl who was humiliated by Young Master Cao was extremely ugly, and Mrs. Cao did not agree to let her enter the Cao family's house to have sex. In the end, my daughter-in-law, a side relative who worked as a coachman for the Cao family, took over the matter. For this reason, the Cao family lost several thousand taels of silver."
"Really?" Several people around were shocked.
"Of course it's true. I'm not someone who talks casually." A trace of pride flashed deep in the man's eyes.
……
Mrs. Xu stood in an inconspicuous place aside and listened to everyone's comments. Then her face turned as black and oily as a dung beetle in a manure pit, and her whole body exuded a raging anger that frightened the two people behind her. The little maid's legs were shaking.
Mother Lin whispered, "Madam, don't take those words to heart. They are just jealous of you, so they can't help but slander you."
Mother Lin was a steward promoted by the Xu family not long ago. She came to the Xia family not long ago. Aunt Zhang bought it from Ren Yazi after the Xia family moved into the Xia Mansion.
In the past, when Aunt Zhang was in charge, she was loyal and undivided to Aunt Zhang. Now that Mrs. Xu is in charge, she is loyal to Mrs. Xu again.
When Mrs. Xu was employing people, she gave her some small favors at will, and Mrs. Lin flattered Mrs. Xu wholeheartedly.
She stretched out her hand and supported Xu's arm, "Madam, it's windy here, I'd better help you back."
"Yeah."
Mother Lin gave her a step, and Mrs. Xu went down the slope.
Tomorrow was the master's big day. Even if she was angry again, she had to endure it and not embarrass the master.
Now that the master is going to marry a concubine, if she can no longer win over the master and push him away, how will she live in the future?
And her daughter and son...
Mrs. Xu thought of Xia Ziying and her precious son, so she just endured it.
But even though she thought so, after she returned to the yard and there were no outsiders, she still smashed a small cauldron on the high table.
The cauldron was made of copper. It made a bang sound when it hit the ground and bounced a few times, but it was not broken.
The next day, the number of guests who came to the Xia family for a wedding banquet doubled. However, the Xia family had only been in the capital for a short time and had few relatives. The Xu family had not known many people since they arrived in the capital. Most of the guests who came were They are Xia Shiming's colleagues, and half of them are close to the Chu family.
Mrs. Zhuo was already in confinement, but she had twins to take care of and couldn't leave. Besides, Xia Shiming was only married to an aunt and not the wife of the wife, so she sent a steward to bring a gift.
The same goes for the Second Prince's Mansion, which only sent a mother in charge to deliver congratulatory gifts.
The Dou family also got the news, but they couldn't go out because they had to attend the funeral for Mrs. Dou, so Mrs. Li sent her personal nanny to come over, gave her a generous gift, and sat down to eat the wedding wine before leaving.
Only Mrs. Liao and Liao Fangyi came in person and gave them a generous gift.
Xia Zihan came forward in person and invited them to sit in the flower hall.
Last night, Xia Zihan stayed overnight at Xia's house for the first time. In the morning, she got up early. She simply put a green hosta and two pink silk flowers on her head, and wore a A pink chrysanthemum top with a layer on top A green rhombus embroidered jacket, underneath is a pleated Ruyi moon skirt with borders embroidered with gold thread, and a pair of auspicious Ruyi shoes inlaid with two big southern beads. The whole person is delicate and elegant yet elegant. , and it will not take away the light that belongs to the bride.
Liao Fangyi looked Xia Zihan up and down, then praised her dress with gleaming eyes, and insisted that Xia Zihan give her one as well before she would give up.
Seeing her daughter asking for clothes from Xia Zihan, Mrs. Liao blushed with embarrassment and winked at Liao Fangyi, telling her not to embarrass her.
But why does Liao Fangyi care so much?
It wasn't until Xia Zihan nodded that Liao Fangyi smiled proudly.
Mrs. Liao glared at her angrily, and then said to Xia Zihan sheepishly, "It's just you who indulges her. She doesn't have any sense of place in front of you."
"I have always treated Sister Fang as my younger sister, and I don't want to manipulate anyone else." Xia Zihan said with a smile.
Mrs. Liao looked at her tenderly and loved her as if she were a daughter.
After a loud bang of gongs and drums outside, the bride came back and Liao Fangyi hurriedly dragged Xia Zihan out to see the bride.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "The bride is right there, and she won't run away. Why are you anxious."
"Why are you not in a hurry? I also want to go to the new house to see what the bride looks like." Liao Fangyi held her hand with a smile.
Then she remembered that the man who married the bride seemed to be Xia Zihan's biological father. Liao Fangyi's face turned sly, "Sister Chu Yu, your father...don't be angry, men are like this."
< br>
He persuaded Xia Zihan with a self-righteous look.
Xia Zihan raised his hand and pinched her face, "Xiao Nizi, I still need your comfort."
"Don't worry, I persuaded my grandmother to help my father marry this bride."
Liao Fangyi opened her mouth wide. The group arrived at the lobby.
The hall was crowded with people, and the bride and groom were paying homage. Xia Zihan dragged Liao Fangyi to find an inconspicuous place to stand. He happened to see the bride wearing a dazzling pink wedding dress being surrounded by a flower-clad bride. The matchmaker in the clothes supported him and bowed to Xia Shiming.
Then the master of ceremonies shouted and sent them into the bridal chamber, and everyone burst into laughter and crowded towards the bride and groom.
The bride and groom held a red silk thread between them and walked out of the door towards the new house.
Liao Fangyi dragged Xia Zihan and chased after her, "Let's go, Sister Chu Yu, let's go to the new house to see the bride."
When marrying a concubine, except that the bride cannot wear a bright red wedding dress, the rest is similar to marrying a royal wife. After the wedding ceremony and the bridal chamber, people who are close to the Xia family will also make noises about having a bridal chamber.
Liao Fangyi was the one who liked to join in the fun the most. When she saw the bride entering, she couldn't wait to pull Xia Zihan to follow her in. However, Xia Zihan grabbed her in time and said, "Wait a minute."
"The bride and groom still need to drink Henu wine. Let's wait for them to finish drinking and wait for my father to come out before we go in."
Liao Fangyi said oh and hurriedly slipped into the side room with Xia Zihan.
As he entered, Xia Zihan's eyes suddenly froze and he looked towards the direction of the penthouse with a solemn gaze.
She retracted her feet after stepping in and said, "Sister Fang, you go in first and wait. I'll go to the toilet first and I'll be back in a while."
Xia Zihan whispered to Liao Fangyi, and Liao Fangyi nodded and waved her hand, "Go, go, hurry up."
Xia Zihan winked at Chu Cong behind her, gesturing for her to stay and watch Liao Fangyi.
She was worried that Liao Fangyi would not be able to wait any longer and would be embarrassed if she made a joke.
Chu Cang nodded silently.
Xia Zihan then left.
The wing room was the toilet, but she did not go to the wing room. On the way, when she saw no one around, she flew up to the roof, quietly sneaked to the roof of the wing room, and listened.
A thin voice came from inside.
"...When you see me coming out, you can turn over through the back window and I will open the window in advance."
"The slave knows."
"Well, don't forget, your sister's future depends on your thoughts."
"I don't dare. I must listen to the third girl's instructions carefully. Please don't sell my sister."
"Then it depends on your performance."
"I will never let Aunt Guo live until tomorrow."
"Bah, what kind of aunt? She is just a bitch cousin, a bitch who can lie down with a slave and leave."
In the toilet, Xia Ziying's distorted curses came out, and another male voice suddenly disappeared. Perhaps seeing that Xia Ziying was getting angry, she didn't dare to speak.
Perhaps because she was worried that people outside would hear her, Xia Ziying cursed a few words and then stopped talking, and then walked out of the toilet in a dignified manner.
After she left, it took a long time before I saw a handsome follower sneaking out with his head peeping out.
Xia Zihan could see everything clearly from the rooftop.
She originally wanted to jump down and stop him in front of Chang Sui, but as soon as she stood up, she suddenly changed her mind.
Haha, Xia Ziying became enemies with Aunt Guo on the first day she entered the house. I believe that Xia Ziying will live a life of dire straits and comfort in the days to come.
If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
If Xia Ziying is so good at doing things, it will definitely be very difficult for her to die in the future, right?
Looking forward to it...
The corners of Xia Zihan's mouth were slightly raised, revealing an excited and sweet smile.
Xia Shiming and others had already left. After Xia Zihan returned to the wing, he took Liao Fangyi, who had been waiting impatiently, to the new house. However, they were late, and there were others who arrived earlier than them.
The three sisters Xia Ziying, Xia Zilan, and Xia Ziqing were all there, as were a pair of sisters from the Cao family, as well as the two girls from the Xiang family, the girls from the Zhang family, and the girls from the Qian family who were brought here by Xia Ziqing.
Wei Kaiyue was also there, standing near the door. She saw Xia Zihan as soon as he entered.
She smiled softly, and Xia Zihan hurriedly stopped her and took her hand, "Don't be polite, I am not the protagonist today."
Then he stood with Wei Kaiyue and whispered.
Liao Fangyi loves to join in the fun. After entering the new house, she squeezed to the front.
While Xia Zihan was talking to Wei Kaiyue, he glanced at Xia Ziying from time to time.
