Chapter 1059: Counting Money Until My Hands Cramped
When Mrs. Xia saw her master and daughter, and the loving father and filial daughter, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
"It's up to you." Madam Xia seemed to have given up. She reached out and tapped her daughter's forehead, saying with a look of regret: "If you are disliked by your in-laws and son-in-law in the future, don't come back and cry to me!"
"Ha! I won't come back crying!" Xia Siya said disdainfully: "Sister Fuya said, if anyone dares to bully me, just fight back!"
Madam Xia: “…”
Speechless!
Fu Ya actually said such words to her daughter? !
impossible!
Fuya is such a sensible child!
How could he possibly say such shocking words?!
Can you just hit the in-laws and son-in-law casually?!
Madam Xia opened her mouth in shock, wanting to say something.
Suddenly, I thought of this. Tang Bao knew that the Su family, a century-old family, was her own family, but she still made a bet with the descendants of the Su family without mercy.
Then, he took advantage of the situation and smashed the Su family's imperial plaque that had been passed down for hundreds of years...
Mrs. Xia was speechless.
Xia Siya didn't know that her words overturned her mother's perception of Tang Bao.
"Mom, this was made for me by my sister Fuya, right?" Xia Siya looked at the clothes on the kang with shining eyes and said with surprise.
After saying that, he couldn't wait to pick up the light green spring shirt and shook it open.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! The flowers seem to be emitting fragrance, and the butterflies seem to be flying..."
Xia Siya exclaimed in amazement, touching the embroidery on it and couldn't let it go.
Mrs. Xia finally had something to say.
"How dare you say that!" Madam Xia glared at Xia Siya and said disdainfully, "Fuya is younger than you. You've lived in the Su family for so many years, so why haven't you learned even a fraction of your sister Fuya's craftsmanship?"
"Mother, Sister Fu Ya inherited the true teachings of the Gu family, so naturally I can't compare to her!" Xia Siya said confidently, "But my embroidery was also taught by Aunt Gu herself. Although I can't compare to Sister Fu Ya, I'm still much better than the girls in the boudoirs of the capital!"
Xia Siya finished her speech with her chin raised, looking particularly proud.
After she arrived in the capital, she also went out to visit friends a few times.
Although his skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting are not particularly outstanding, they are definitely worthy of being presented in a classy place.
As for needlework, it is definitely praised by everyone!
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Xia felt relieved when she thought that taking her daughter out with her did save her face.
At the same time, he was also very grateful that he had sent his daughter to be raised in the Su family.
Even if my daughter was not very ambitious, she learned a lot about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, medicine, etc. through the influence of her parents.
In front of others, she can be described as a talented and accomplished lady of the boudoir.
Besides, rules and etiquette...
"You are the one who cares the most." Mrs. Xia glared at her daughter, but her tone softened.
Xia Siya giggled and tried the clothes on herself.
"Mom, this is a spring shirt that Sister Fuya made for me. It's perfect for spring outings. I heard people say that during spring outings in the capital, there are always a lot of people, and it's really lively..."
When Xia Siya said this, she looked at Madam Xia eagerly, and her meaning was self-evident.
The so-called spring outing is a customary day for spring outings.
If there is any special meaning, then there isn't.
However, there were not so many taboos between young men and women that day.
As a result, many families like to meet their daughter-in-law or son-in-law on that day.
After all, spring is a passionate season.
Rules and customs are much more tolerant for young boys and girls.
It is not appropriate for someone like Xia Siya, who is about to get married, to appear in such an occasion.
"You're about to get married, and the Bai family's son-in-law just failed the imperial examination, so you must be in a bad mood." Madam Xia said, "As a wife who hasn't married yet, you're going out to have fun without any scruples. You won't arouse suspicion and accusations that you're ignorant and don't take your future husband seriously..."
Before Mrs. Xia finished speaking, Xia Siya's expression wilted.
It was obvious that her mother would definitely not agree to her going.
However, when Xia Siya thought about Bai Shuzhi's failure in the exam, her mood also became depressed.
After all, he was her fiancé, and she knew that a wife's status depends on her husband.
What's more, as the wedding date approaches, she is a little nervous.
My feelings towards Bai Shuzhi also became a little complicated.
It seems... I'm not so disgusted anymore...
At the same time, she also knew clearly in her heart that there were not many children of wealthy families who were like Bai Shuzhi, who did not take anyone into his room before marriage and who studied under a great scholar and were quite talented.
She was indeed marrying into the Bai family, which was a high status marriage, although she didn't really want it.
"I understand, Mom. I won't go." Xia Siya said dejectedly.
After saying that, he muttered softly again.
"I always thought I was amazing, like I was unique in heaven and nowhere else on earth, but in the end, I failed the exam. What a slap in the face..."
Madam Xia: “…”
Madam Xia rubbed her forehead and said, "Shut up! How can you say such things?!"
After saying that, he glared at his daughter fiercely.
However, she inexplicably felt that her daughter was right.
Xia Siya stuck out her tongue, and then noticed the bulging purse in the bag at a glance.
His eyes lit up and his depressed mood disappeared.
How could a man be as important as her little money?!
Xia Siya thought her parents hadn't noticed yet, so she quickly put her clothes into her bag to cover her purse.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to try on some clothes. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he wrapped up the bag, held it in his arms and ran away.
She is going back to count the change!
Looking at her daughter like this, Mrs. Xia felt that all her efforts these days had gone to waste.
**
It was not only Xia Siya who was happily counting the small coins, Tang Bao was also counting her own "small" coins diligently.
She made a fortune on this bet!
It is said that the second in command of the gambling house had eyes that were so red that he could hardly open them when he gave out money.
"Ahhh... I'm so tired. I don't want to count anymore!" Tang Bao threw a handful of small-denomination silver bills in his hand onto the table and shouted loudly.
She finally experienced the feeling of counting money until her hands cramped!
"Miss, if you are tired, just take a rest. I am your servant." Shi Liu said excitedly, not feeling tired at all.
How could counting silver be tiring?
It’s worth it even if I die of exhaustion!
Third Sister Su leaned back on the chaise longue and said with a smile, "Uncle Lin had already checked everything when he brought it here, but you insisted on counting it again."
Tang Bao rubbed her sore wrist and said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, you don't understand, this is called being tired and happy!"
