Chapter 9 Undercurrents from all sides
Xiang Xue did go to his brother to tell his grievances.
Seeing that Xia Ting came back lying down, Xiang Xue burst into tears on the spot!
Xiang Xue is a little girl who knows gratitude. She always remembers that if Xia Ting hadn't happened to pass by, the brother and sister would have long frozen to death on the streets of Zizhou in winter.
It was Xia Ting who looked at them pitiful and allowed the brother and sister to settle down. Seeing that the two were young, they specially arranged them to be next door to a loyal and honest couple, gave them money, and said hello to take care of their brother and sister.
I even heard that my brother was smart and eager to read, and he also invested in his studies.
Because of these reasons, Xiang Xue was willing to sign a contract to be a maid for Xia Ting.
She felt that if she hadn't had Xia Ting, she would have been taken back by God long ago.
Now that I have no worries about food and clothing, my brother can still study, which is something she never dared to imagine.
She wanted to repay her kindness, but she had no life and only had this life.
When Baoqing talked about what happened today, she gritted her teeth with hatred. She only felt that these noble ladies looked noble and elegant, unattainable, but their inner style was so disgusting.
Xiang Xue's brother is named Meng Xiangshan, and he is now a scholar.
Although it is a poor scholar and a poor scholar, because of the welfare of the scholar and the care of Xia Ting, Meng Xiangshan already has an independent courtyard. Although it is not big, it is already very spacious for him to live in.
Not only that, he also has a book boy who is with him, and he is taken care of by others in daily life.
When she heard that her sister was back, Meng Xiangshan happily put down the book. After hearing Xiang Xue talk about what happened today, her face was as deep as water and her eyes were full of fierce light!
"Don't worry, we are here for this matter." Meng Xiangshan saw that his sister had been wiping her tears, and hurriedly sootheed her softly.
Although Meng Xiangshan is a weak scholar, his pen is not weak!
After hearing Meng Xiangshan say this, Xiang Xue finally felt a little comforted, and she still felt a little angry when she spoke: "Miss is so good, why should that Miss He look down on the girl?"
"Yes, the Fourth Master is a merchant, but that is the imperial merchant granted by the emperor. Even His Majesty recognizes it. Why is this Miss He more powerful than His Majesty?" It would be fine if he didn't say it, but Xiang Xue was so angry again after saying it.
"Oh, my sister, be careful of words, be careful of words, disaster comes from the mouth!" Meng Xiangshan was startled when he heard Xiang Xue compare Miss He with His Majesty, and even frightened his cold sweat.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the courtyard, and the book boy was also busy outside. Seeing this, Meng Xiangshan smeared his sweat, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Xue also knew that she was emotionally excited and seemed to have said the wrong thing, but she felt that she had done nothing wrong in protecting her girl, so she could only speak angrily: "Hmph!"
When Meng Xiangshan was coaxing his sister, Miss He, who was scolded by them behind her back, was also being scolded.
The He Magistrate's Mansion only learned about this in the evening. After knowing it, he rushed to the backyard. If it weren't for the wife stopping him, he would have slapped He Qiuyan out.
"Damn it, confused! How could you be so confused?" He Zhifu was really angry. At this time, he spoke without saying anything, and his hands and feet were a little out of control.
Mrs. He couldn't stand watching it anymore, and frowned and said, "The child did nothing wrong, why are you here?"
When He Zhifu heard this, he became even more angry and his voice broke: "What's wrong? Ask me, who did she want to step on to establish her authority today? Who would you choose? But he chose the girl from the Xia family. Yes, Xia Liuniang's father was from a businessman, but he was an imperial merchant. His Majesty wrote the inscription "The No. 1 Merchant in the World" and there was also an imperial gold abacus in hand. Do you think it's just an ordinary merchant, so do you let him step on it?"
The prefect He came to Zizhou in the middle of this year. The female family members from the backyard of He Mansion came later. It was after he settled down that Mrs. He brought her family with her family.
Xia Ting only came to Zizhou to recuperate in autumn and winter. Mrs. He didn't know much about her. She only knew that in Zizhou, the Ding family was not easy to offend. There were also several powerful families, all of whom were from the capital and could not afford to offend.
Mrs. He didn't take Xia Ting seriously, and He Qiuyan didn't know much. She only knew that the other party's father was a businessman. She wanted to establish her authority and gain a foothold in the precious women's circle in Zizhou. She had to step on a few soft persimmons to get on the throne.
She thought she was choosing a soft persimmon that would rot when pinched.
The result is not!!!
She stepped on fake persimmons with a soft appearance and a knife inside!
He Qiuyan was scolded and only knew how to cry and did not dare to refute. Mrs. He defended her a few words: "It's all like this, don't scold you, it's because you didn't give me any instructions carefully."
"What I told you is not careful enough? Have I ever told you not to offend the Ding family, nor to offend the Ding family! The Ding family and the Yingwu Hou Mansion are in-laws, and Master Ding's Yue family is a bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy. Although the grade is not too high, they entered as Tanhualang, and there were countless old classmates, and there were even more promising students. People saw that they did not show their identities, but they had many invisible connections that were amazing. Do you think that being able to be with the Ding family girl is a simple one? Why don't the noble ladies of the Ding family bring other cats and dogs in?" He prefect smiled at the rebuttal of his wife.
Mrs. He was scolded, a little annoyed and aggrieved, and finally she could only mutter: "I said at the beginning, bring Qiuyan to the side to raise her, you have to keep her in the countryside. Now, you will offend someone."
Mrs. He also felt wronged. After hearing this, Master He became even more angry, but for a moment he had no way to refute it. Finally, he could only sigh heavily.
He Qiuyan was dissatisfied, but she also knew that she had caused trouble today, failed to step on someone, and even kicked the iron plate.
Now, Master He is actually in a dilemma. Come to the door to apologize. If he insists on putting it on the table, he will be afraid that he will not be able to hold on to the face.
But, don’t apologize, he is also afraid that Master Ding will wear small shoes for him. Although Master Ding Er is under his official position, Master Ding is not, nor is it in the Xia family!
Xia Ting didn't know what they had a headache about, so he went to sleep and rest as soon as he ate.
996 said that such a big tonic event that suddenly reaches five years of life span will probably still occur in the future. Her body probably cannot withstand such big tonic in a short period of time, so there will be such a situation in the future.
There are also solutions: to maintain good health and to maintain your life in the best condition!
The next morning, Xia Ting got up a little late. Because he didn't have much strength, he didn't get up and leave the house. He listened to Bao Lu muttering there, the weather was gloomy today, and it was going to rain.
After hearing what she said, Xia Ting felt a sudden heart.
The main reason was that the prophecy card he drew himself, which made Xia Ting feel quite uneasy.
