Chapter III: Decisions

There was a squeak at the door, and Nuan Nuan, the little girl sitting in the yard catching sheep crutches, immediately looked over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Young Master, why did you come out?" she said uneasily, and was about to run over to help.

This is the little girl that Guo Huaichun specially assigned to the mother and son of the Xue family, and there were originally a lot of servants to be given, but Xue's mother didn't ask for it, and she didn't know whether she was weak or wanted to maintain her dignity, so in the end she only accepted a little girl and had the right to run errands and pass the word.

The mother and son have food and clothing in Guo's mansion, and they don't have much to do.

This little girl is eight years old this year, she is small and smart, she has been pouring tea and water and feeding medicine in front of the bed for the past two days, and she has not been lazy and slippery at all, Xue Qing is very satisfied.

She did not refuse Nuan Nuan's support.

"I'm fine, stuffy and a little moldy, go out for a walk. She said.

It's been four days since he woke up, and Xue Qing can move around freely, but he hasn't gone out yet.

Since she woke up, the various rooms of the Guo family sent people to visit and express their hearts, and no one came again, but it was also clean.

"Then young master, don't go far. Nuan Nuan said, thinking for a while, "Let's go to the small garden, it's just not fun." ”

The small garden is naturally the small garden of the Guo family's mansion, just under the north attic, remote and small, and the people in the Guo family's mansion basically don't come here.

Xue Qing stroked Nuan Nuan's head and said hello, she just found a quiet place to sit down and think about things. It's a little boring to think about it in this room.

This small garden is indeed small, but it is beautifully repaired, Nuan Nuan laid a mat on the bluestone in a cluster of flowers and trees, and helped Xue Qing to sit down.

Xue Qing waved her hand and let her go to play by herself, Nuan Nuan was not polite, maybe she had not been taught how to be a maid, or maybe she didn't treat the Xue family's mother and son as serious masters in her heart, the little girl said that the young master has something to do, you call me to the side, squatting to the side and continuing to play with sheep crutches.

The wind blows in the early spring, but it is also refreshing, especially the air is very fresh, although the flowers and trees have not yet sprouted, but the dense branches surround her, there is a different kind of peace.

Xue Qing took a deep breath and sighed lightly.

Although it is very reluctant, now that I have come here, I have to face the reality and think about how to live.

First of all, the family affair with Miss Guo must be resolved, even if Cui's words are not a reason to delay a woman.

As for the Guo family, it doesn't matter if they can't live here, people always have to rely on themselves.

Just what do you have to do to make a living?

Xue Qing's brows tightened, the business she learned was really useless here, and since she had a chance to do it again, she happened to live a different life.

What kind of livelihood could women do in ancient times? It doesn't seem very convenient...

Thinking of this, she raised her eyebrows again and looked down at herself, now she is not a woman, she is a man.

It's easy to do, it's a big deal to pretend to be a man for a lifetime, and it's not impossible for her to do it, as long as she doesn't get married.... Anyway, she didn't want to get married in ancient times.

From this point of view, Cui's absurdity is also a good thing.

Xue Qing couldn't help but reach out and slapped his leg.

"Oh, who's hiding here. ”

There was an exclamation from the flowers and trees in front of him, and two women looked at it at the same time.

Xue Qing also saw that someone came over at some point, because he was obsessed with things, and no one noticed anyone because he was obscured by flowers and trees.

It was two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, one of whom had red and swollen eyes and had apparently cried.

Xue Qing didn't recognize them, but the two girls recognized him.

"It's Young Master Xue. One of them said.

Xue Qing recognized that this was the usual dress of the girls of the Guo family... In the past few days, I have seen many women who come to visit at the bedside, and there are many girls who serve them.

Xue Qing smiled at them and nodded in response.... She wasn't so scared of a girl.

The two girls looked at her and didn't say anything, they looked at each other and walked away, their demeanor and demeanor undisguised disgust.

Presumably, now in the Guo family, no one likes her except for the old man Guo.

It's doubtful whether that Mr. Guo likes her or not.

Xue Qing didn't care, she had already decided that one thing would be considered a gain today, and then she wanted to understand the world, so she got up to find warmth.

The two girls didn't go far, standing under a tree and looking at Xue Qing who walked away.

"It looks like it's going to die. A girl said with a dissatisfied expression, "It's not very good, it's deliberately pretending, the young master Zi'an was beaten like that, and the second lady was crying or something." ”

The other girl sniffed and remembered her sadness.

"It's all because of him, and the second lady can't take care of my business. She said, "Madame promised me that she would find me a good family." ”

"Gu Pozi took this opportunity to propose marriage, I heard her say to Mother Song that you girls didn't take a good look at Young Master Zi'an, so the lady wanted to send you out, and that Gu Pozi took the opportunity to beg you for her lame son. The previous girl whispered.

The girl's tears rolled down her face.

"Sister Acai, what should I do?" she cried.

was called Ah Cai and patted her on the shoulder, and his eyes fell on Xue Qing, who was walking slowly with the little girl.

Because of his illness, Xue Qing was wearing a thick winter robe, looking bloated and shabby... In the words of Young Master Zi'an, this is a puddle of mud, and the mud not only stained the eldest lady, but also caused them to have a good life.

Getting rid of such mud must be a great achievement for everyone.

"There's a way. She said, her eyes sparkling, "Gu Pozi took the opportunity to show loyalty to the second lady, Wenzhu, you can too." ”

The girl who was called to Wenzhu looked at her with tears in her eyes.

Ah Cai grabbed her shoulders and whispered to her, Wen Zhu's expression was surprised and then thoughtful.

.......

Xue Qing didn't know that the two little girls were calculating her behind her back, and helped Nuan Nuan to return home, Cui's had already returned, and she brought back a bunch of gifts.

She went to thank the Guo family who came to visit Xue Qing a few days ago.

"The second lady and the third lady all apologized repeatedly. Cui Shi said, putting a piece of cloth on Xue Qing's body and comparing it, "I also said that when the two young masters are punished, I will personally make amends to you." ”

Xue Qing smiled noncommittally.

“... I know they are saying kind words, meaning that I should come forward and tell the eldest master, and this matter will be over. Choi continued.

It's not that she only cries, this woman is weak but has the cunning of the low-level people.

Xue Qing smiled and nodded in his heart.

"That's exactly how it should be. She said, "But it's not appropriate for my mother to go, so let me go." ”

Cui Shi looked at her with some surprise.

"Aren't you afraid to see the master?" she asked, hesitating a little, "I'd better go, lest you..."

Exposed.

Xue Qing took the cloth in her hand and put it down.

"This time, the eldest master is so angry, if I don't go to thank him personally, I can't help but think of how much he values me. She said, "I went in person, and took the initiative to turn the conflict with Miss Guo and the two young masters, which is also a good thing for me, and everyone will get along better in the future." ”

It's this truth, Cui's is a little relieved, in the past, Xue Qing was timid and afraid, and even Master Guo didn't dare to meet a few times, he hid at home every day, and he was sensible after suffering a crime.

"Okay, I'll ask Steward Wu and accompany you when it's convenient. She said.

Xue Qing nodded with a smile.

Taking advantage of the freshness of this old man Guo and reminiscing about the feelings of the old people, he can be a little more tolerant of the absurd thing of their mother and daughter, otherwise after a long time, the feelings will fade, and it will be difficult to deal with only shame and anger.

If you can't get married, don't become enemies, after all, it's not easy for orphans and widows to live, and multiple friends are better than multiple enemies.
