Chapter 1332 Something happened
"Where do you want him to go?" Chu Jingqi held her on his lap, rested his chin on her shoulder affectionately, and rubbed his two heads together.
Xia Zihan said, "After all, we are relatives, so let's give him a prosperous place, choose one in the south of the Yangtze River, and have the eldest cousin, arrange the father and son to the same place, so that the father and son can be together." We can also take care of each other.”
Mr. Xia said in the letter that he wanted Chu Jingqi to arrange for him to stay in the capital, but she didn't want Mr. Xia to come to Beijing. First, she was worried that when he came, he would bring Mrs. Xia with him. By then, her father would finally calm down. It's going to be a mess again.
The second is that the Xia family does not have a house in the capital. When Mr. Xia comes to the capital to take office, it would be good if he can buy a house. If he does not buy a house, then Xia Shiming will definitely not let him rent a house and will definitely let him Live in your own home.
If Mr. Xia is allowed to live at home, he will definitely not be able to pay living expenses, and he will not be able to open the door. At that time, all the expenses of the people in the Xia family's first house will have to come from the Xia family's second house.
The little money and income that Mrs. Xia Er has in her hands is already insufficient to support a second family and a large family. If you add the eldest family and her family, there is also an unreasonable old lady...
Moreover, the eldest wife of the Xia family is stingy, the old lady is unreasonable, and the eldest master is a man who adapts to the situation. When this big family moves into the Xia family, it won’t be long before Mrs. Xia’s second wife has all the housekeeping rights. Can be deprived, even some of the properties Xia Shiming accumulated in the past few years can be taken away by Mrs. Xia.
Old Mrs. Xia's unreasonable and disdainful temperament of Xia Shiming was really capable of doing that.
Thinking of that scene, Xia Zihan was very unhappy to have Mr. Xia and his son come to the capital as officials.
When Chu Jingqi saw that her daughter-in-law didn't like to see the Xia family in Jiangning City, she hummed, but she secretly decided to let Mr. Xia and his son stay in Jiangnan for a few more years.
A few days later, the indictment documents for Mr. Xia and his son came down and were sent directly to Jiangning City.
When Mr. Xia was confidently preparing to move his entire family to the capital, he was dumbfounded when he saw the transfer document, "How could it be Jiangnan?"
"What, what Jiangnan?" Mrs. Xia was looking at the inventory list of the warehouse with the two mothers in charge. When she heard Mr. Xia's voice, she turned her head and continued.
Then, her expression changed, she stood up quickly, walked over, grabbed the document, and her whole expression was stunned for an instant, "Master, didn't you say that it was a certainty that you would take office in the capital this time, why did you go again? Jiangnan is so far away from here, what should I do?”
Mrs. Xia's tears fell immediately.
In the past few years, my mother-in-law has become more and more noisy, but if she doesn't obey her at all, she will cry and curse, saying that she is unfilial, and even instigating the elder to divorce her. She never stops for a day. when.
She was obviously very ill, but she was still ill, which made the house agitated all day long. She was almost driven crazy by her mother-in-law.
She thought that this time the master could be arranged in the capital, so she took the old lady to the capital with her and found an excuse to live in Xia Shiming's house. Anyway, the house she originally lived in was bought by Chu Yu and given to Xia Shiming. Such a big house , it would be spacious for her family to live in, so that Mrs. Guo could serve the old lady and she could take a breather.
She had packed up her gifts, prepared the carriage, and made arrangements at home. She left full control to her eldest daughter-in-law, who was already one month old. As soon as the transfer documents arrived, she and the master would set off for the capital with the old lady.
Who knew that the eldest master was not arranged in the capital, but went to Jiangnan, so far away... She definitely couldn't follow him.
If she goes, she has to take the old lady with her. At such an old age, she is already reluctant to go to the capital. To go to Jiangnan... the master will definitely not agree.
If the old lady stays, then she must stay as a daughter-in-law to fulfill her filial piety. Besides, even if she takes the old lady to Jiangnan, won't she still serve the old lady alone?
Thinking of the old lady's unreasonableness and unreasonableness, Mrs. Xia cried aggrievedly. Mr. Xia had a bored look on his face. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why he didn't stay in the capital, but arranged to go to Jiangnan.
Could it be that Chu Yu didn't understand his hint?
No, Chu Yu is so smart, he must have understood.
Based on the power of the Chu family and his son in the court, it was definitely just a matter of words to place him in the capital. So why did he go to Jiangnan in the end?
Could it be said that the Chu family arranged for him to go to Jiangnan?
Did the prince do it on purpose?
Why?
Mr. Xia thought hard and couldn't figure out why Chu Jingqi did this. Moreover, he arranged the father and son in the same place. This was a rare phenomenon in the court.
Regardless of whether Mr. Xia wants it or not, he will have to leave for Jiangnan with his eldest son to take up his post in three days.
After Mrs. Xia sent the father and son out with tears in her eyes, as soon as she returned to the house, the maid came to her sweating profusely and said, "Madam, the old lady is making trouble again. She is clamoring to see you. Please go and see her." Let’s see.”
This old immortal.
Mrs. Xia stamped her feet angrily and couldn't help cursing in her heart.
Xia Zihan had heard about the Xia family's affairs in Jiangning City. It was because of the rumors that she asked Chu Jingqi to take both Mr. Xia and his son to Jiangnan.
After learning that Mr. Xia and his son had gone to take up their posts, Xia Zihan went to visit Mrs. Xia Er.
"I said that I have packed up my gifts and planned to come to the capital with the old lady. Fortunately, the officials arranged for them to go to Jiangnan, so my father and mother can live a more peaceful life." Xia Zihan smiled and told Mrs. Xia Er road.
She didn't mention a word that Master Xia went to Jiangnan, but she did it on purpose.
"Hey, it's not that I'm unfilial as a daughter-in-law. It's the old lady's temper that no one can stand. When I see her now, my heart is beating so fast, as if it's about to jump out of my mouth." Mrs. Xia Er muttered.
She looked happy, but felt sympathy for Mrs. Xia in her heart, "I heard that my sister-in-law was tortured so hard that the old lady came to her specifically, and did not want her sister-in-law to serve her."
The sister-in-law she mentioned was Guo, the mother of Xia Zilan, the third eldest daughter of the Xia family.
Xia Zihan said, "The old lady always values the third aunt, how could she be willing to torture the third aunt."
Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, Chu Yun, who had been staying at Yuqiongyuan to do needlework, suddenly came. When he saw her, he didn't even have time to salute, and said hurriedly, "Master, Princess Qinghui is looking for her." You said I have something important to discuss with you.”
"Qinghui? Where is she now?" Xia Zihan stood up with a solemn expression.
