Chapter 243 Xiuyan enters the mansion and meets Xue’s Lishu

At this time, Jia Cong still didn't know Xue Baoqin, who was of great interest to him.

It was placed in the Xue family’s old house yesterday.

I didn’t even know that idiot Xue was still thinking of asking Qi Youlu to come and become a doctor.

He had a good impression of Xing Xiuyan, the nominal cousin in the original book.

But he didn’t have any other thoughts.

After all, she is Xue Biao's official wife.

Suddenly, father, son, Weng and son-in-law entered the main room in the east courtyard.

When Yingchun saw Qi Youlu's blushing face, he first stepped forward to greet Jia She.

Goodbye to each other again.

Then he took Xing Zhong's wife and Xing Xiuyan into the inner room.

Jia Cong only had time to see Xing Xiuyan and Jingchai wearing a sarong, very plainly dressed.

I didn’t even see my face clearly.

Wait until Jia Cong and Qi Youlu pay their respects to Xing Zhong.

Jia She asked: "Brother-in-law, has he gone to see your sister?"

Xing Zhong sighed.

He babbled authentically:

"Such a high family background, such a good life, but just after receiving the imperial edict, I became so ill..."

"It's the big girl like me who is not lucky..."

"Originally, I was counting on my eldest sister to manage two houses and help with some expenses..."

"There is nothing we can do now..."

Jia Cong frowned secretly.

What nonsense is this?

It sounds as if Mr. Xing fell ill on purpose and refused to help him.

No wonder the original book said that Xing Zhong was a drunkard, and that was indeed the case.

It only took two or three sentences to reveal the true character.

After hearing this, Jia She felt very unhappy.

He had a good house and shop, but when Xing Zhong said this, he didn't want to give it to him.

Then he asked: "Have you gone to see Dequan?"

Xing Zhong said quickly: "I just came to Beijing and rested for a night in an inn, so I rushed over to see my eldest sister."

"The second brother, the second sister, and the third sister haven't even seen each other yet."

Jia Cong secretly pouted.

Xing Dequan was even worse than Xing Zhong, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and doing everything.

Xing's fall.

Only Wang Shanbao's family still remembers that Yueyue went back to Jia She and sent him a few taels of silver.

How can I have any spare money in my hands?

So the eldest brother didn't even see his brothers, so he came to Rongguo Mansion to catch the autumn wind.

Jia She lowered his head and thought for a long time.

It would be inappropriate to ignore it completely.

He ordered someone to take out a letter of fifty taels of silver and give it to him.

"Don't stay in the inn."

"Let's rent a house to live in first, decide what we want to do for a living, and then tell me."

After saying that, he ordered people to pass on the meal.

Xing Zhong quickly took the silver sleeve.

He smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, there is no need for food. It is proper to find a house first."

When he looked at Xing's illness, Jia She would not care about him at all.

I didn’t expect to get fifty taels of silver, which is already a great joy.

Jia She then ordered his maid to invite his uncle's wife and cousin.

But only Xing Zhong's wife came out.

Yingchun smiled across the screen and said, "Father, I want to keep my cousin here for a few days."

When his precious daughter spoke, Jia She would certainly not disagree.

"Okay, let's stay here. It's okay to go for a walk in the garden."

Although Grand View Garden is a princess palace.

In Jia She's eyes, it's just his niece's garden.

Xing Zhong and his wife left Xing Xiuyan's luggage and left with all their thanks.

Jia Cong saw that Xing Xiuyan only had two bags and not even a box.

He sighed secretly.

"Second sister, remember to ask the sewing room to come in to measure your cousin and make some clothes."

Jia She also said: "Pick two more maids and women to serve you."

Although he was unhappy with Xing Zhong, he had nothing to do with Xing Xiuyan.

Yingchun smiled and said: "Third brother, I have already made arrangements."

Xing Xiuyan said, "Uncle, cousin Cong, don't bother me so much. I have a maid to take care of you."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "How can one be enough?"

Then he asked: "Yes, did my cousin and uncle and aunt come to Beijing alone? Or how did they get here?"

He still wanted to ask for news about Xue Baoqin.

Sure enough.

Just listen to Xing Xiuyan say: "I didn't come to Beijing alone. I met many relatives in your mansion along the way."

Jia Cong had a clear conscience, but he deliberately asked: "Who are these relatives?"

"The sister of the second wife of your house, the nephew and niece of Aunt Xue's family."

"There is also the brother of Xianlian's second sister-in-law."

"Including the second wife's aunt and niece."

Jia She felt very unhappy when he heard these messy second-in-law relatives.

It’s just that Xing Xiuyan is here for the first time, so it’s hard to say anything.

When Jia Cong heard that Xue Baoqin had arrived, he smiled knowingly.

I said a few more words through the screen.

Jia She said: "Let's go, let the two girls eat and talk freely here."

With that said, he took Jia Cong and Qi Youlu to the study.

From then on, Xing Xiyan lived in Rongguo Mansion.

The next spring, I took her to the garden to meet Xiao Cuier and Emperor Yongtai.

Xiao Cuier ordered the palace maid to clean up a courtyard for her to live in.

This is a later topic, so let’s not mention it for now.

………………………………

As soon as he entered the study, Jia She frowned.

"That bastard Xing Zhong has nothing to do!"

"What are you going to do with those lousy relatives in the second room!"

Jia Cong chuckled: "Dad, how do people know that we have separated our families?"

"Come to think of it, aren't they all relatives?"

Then he asked: "Why are there two eldest uncles in my wife's family?"
