Two-six-five. Small
Wanxian's mother Tao got up in the morning to go to the long room to serve Mrs. Qin, at that time Xie Daozhong had not yet gone to the yamen, she was wearing blue clothes and pants, her hair was neatly tied, and she also touched the osmanthus head oil, and the silver hairpin on the hair was very bright in color, and it looked very decent.
Xie Daozhong noticed it and praised it: "Tingniang is beautiful today." ”
Tao lowered his head, the corners of his lips smiled slightly, and he was a girl who was shy, but the red clouds floated on her face without cooperation, and she lost a little charm.
Mrs. Qin didn't look at her in front of the dressing table, but said, "Why did Tingniang come so early today?"
In the past, she waited for Xie Daozhong to leave before going to the long room to serve Mrs. Qin.
"I ...... I heard that the third lady is coming back," Tao hurriedly stood behind her, and the comb combed her hair, carefully coiled her hair in a bun, and muttered, "I don't know what time she came, so I want to come...... Ask the master, ask the wife. ”
Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows: "She went to Shanghai first, went to her sister to stay for two days, and then came back." ”
Tao nodded, and said, "I heard that Mrs. Chen is in Shanghai, is the eldest lady going to celebrate the New Year in Shanghai this year?"
"Maybe, it depends on what her mother-in-law means, but I listened to Wanlan's words, as if her mother-in-law has not been in good health recently, so I may stay in Shanghai and no longer let her run around in the cold. Mrs. Qin looked at her in the mirror and sighed softly, "You want to inquire about Ah Xian's marriage, don't you?"
Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Qin took the initiative to mention it, explaining that she was still worried in her heart: "I don't know what Mrs. is planning." ”
Ah Xian is a gentleman in the Beijing Academy, and he is reluctant to resign, so he can only find her in-law in the capital. Mrs. Qin said, "I originally asked the second wife to keep a snack in Beijing, but this time she is also coming back, and I will ask in person when the time comes." ”
Mrs. Feng did treat Wanxian's marriage as a major event, and even Xie Wanxin once met some young and promising businessmen with good family style through her husband, and wanted to introduce them to her. Wanxian was fooled with a hippie smile at the beginning, and then told Xie Wanxin with a straight face: "Have you seen that Mr. Xu next to me?"
Xie Wanxin was confused: "I know Mr. Yangwen when you were a teenager." ”
"Then let me tell you, since I was a teenager, I wanted to marry him," she didn't know how many times she had polished her face before she could say this without blushing and her heart beating, "I have delayed myself until today for him, and how much youth has passed, so I must win this game." ”
Xie Wanxin was spoiled by her father, but with the temper of such a demon king as her, she was speechless when she heard these words, Wanxian was nothing, she blushed half of her face first, and stammered: "But ...... But...... But you can't ......."
Wanxian raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "What can't you be?"
Xie Wanxin was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally said "hi": "Nothing, I can't control you, and my aunt can't control you, I just see if the aunt of the old house can take care of you." ”
Wanxian straightened her waist and listened to her with a smile, looking confident. But whether she is confident in her heart, or just making a confident appearance on the face, in fact, even she can't tell the difference.
Xu Shinian, Xu Shinian, this name is really a magic obstacle in her life. At first, he loved him for his talent, and then because of his impassioned heart to serve the country. When she was in Zhenjiang, Wanlan once said that she was a child's little love, and when she got out of Zhenjiang and saw a broader world and better young talents, she felt that her little caution was ridiculous. But she has been in the capital for so long, she has seen the talented man of Peking University who relies on Ma Qianyan, and the young man with a high IQ in love words, many of whom make her amazed and admired, but none of them can make her possessive like Xu Shinian.
This is really a very strange thing, because Wanxian is now unsure whether her obsession with Xu Shinian is because of her youthful affection or because she can't ask for it.
She is actually not afraid of Mrs. Qin, in her impression, Mrs. Qin even makes her feel intimate even more than Tao, because she has some ideas that have not been accepted by Tao since she was a child, as long as she asks Mrs. Qin, six or seven times out of ten will be allowed. This is just a means for Madame Qin to show her virtuous generosity, but it does benefit Wanxian a lot.
She is not afraid of Mrs. Qin, she is afraid of Tao.
Tao has two requirements for Xie Wanxian's in-laws, one is that he must be a serious family with a good family style, and the family must have some surplus wealth, not to mention being rich and expensive, but at least he can't be wronged by food and clothing, and the second is that his uncle must be educated, and it is best to stay abroad, but if he has not stayed, he must also have a serious college graduation certificate.
On the contrary, Wanxian asked for it, saying that the idea that she wanted to continue to be a chemistry teacher after marriage was not understood by Dow, and she even said that who would show up to work as a serious wife?
Every time Wanxian went home, she felt irritable and ruthless, she didn't want to see her biological mother, but was willing to tell Mrs. Qin something about what she had seen in the capital, and tell her how much the students she had taught had achieved. Mrs. Qin was shocked when she heard this, and when she said proudly, she would applaud her, and then said in front of a room of children and dependents: "Of the three girls in the old mansion, our Ah Xian is the most capable." ”
In front of Mrs. Qin, Tao didn't dare to make a mistake, but he was very anxious, and kept glancing at Mrs. Qin, wanting her to ask Mrs. Feng Wanxian's husband.
Mrs. Qin understood the mood of being a mother, so she didn't want the concubine to complain about her, and after laughing for a while in the hall, she asked Mrs. Feng: "Ah Xian is in the capital, thanks to the care of the aunt." ”
"Whatever my sister-in-law says, Ah Xian is also with me. Mrs. Feng said, "After Xin'er gets married, I can't come back to accompany me from time to time, so I can only rely on Ah Xian for my life." ”
"Oh, then I asked this, I'm afraid I'm going to upset my aunt. Mrs. Qin said, "Our Ah Xian should also be allowed to be a family, I don't know if my aunt is in Beijing, there are any suitable and good candidates." ”
Wanxian immediately interjected: "When I was happy, why did my mother have to mention this." ”
"When the man is married, the woman is married, when you are happy, if you can bring your uncle to be happy together, wouldn't it be more beautiful?" Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "In a few years, it will be even more beautiful to bring the little young master and young lady here." ”
Wanxian was coquettish with her, raising her hands to cover her ears: "If you don't listen, I don't want to go to someone else's house on the first day of the New Year to celebrate the New Year, I want to be in my own home." ”
Everyone in the room laughed, and Mrs. Qin didn't plan to force her, but because of Tao's, she still said to Mrs. Feng: "In short, I have to ask my younger brothers and sisters to pay more attention." ”
When Dow went to her house at night, he came up and asked, "Have you made a private agreement with someone outside for life?"
Wanxian was taken aback: "No, mother, no! I'm already of marriage age, as for making a private agreement with someone for life?"
Tao's face softened a little, and then he said bitterly: "Ah Xian, Ah Xian! You are already so old, why can't you marry someone well?"
Wanxian said dejectedly: "I am a high-achieving student who graduated from Peking University, but your eyes are only staring at my marriage and children. ”
"What's wrong with Gao Caisheng? Are you still waiting to be a mother-in-law?or a female emperor?" Tao said, "Wake up, I don't know how many girls have returned from abroad, that is the material for being a mother-in-law, you just read for two more years, and you don't know what your identity is?" ”
Wanxian was stunned by her theory: "Mother, what do you say about this? What does it mean that no one in the old mansion dares to look down on me, is it true that the people in the old mansion look down on me now?"
Tao sighed: "If you are Mrs. Changfang's own daughter, do you think she can let you get mixed up until today?"
"That's my luck," Wanxian's face turned cold, "I'm my mother's own daughter, and my mother is going to hurriedly stuff me in a sedan chair and marry me?"
Tao's face turned red, and he was speechless for a long time when she was angry, walking back and forth in the room, and finally pointed to her nose and said: "I want to ask you to be a serious wife, not like me, to be small, to see the face of the main house for the rest of your life, and in the end, my daughter will follow and be small, and also look at the faces of others!"
The word "be small" stimulated Xie Wanxian, reminded her of Xu Shinian, and his wife who was far away in Nanyang, she had never seen that wife, but she couldn't help but envy her good luck.
"I'm going to sleep," she said, pulling her face, "Mother, let's go, go back." ”
Dow was dumbfounded, her eyes widened, her mouth opening and closing, repeating several times. But Wanxian didn't look at her anymore, and asked the girl to fetch water to wash her face and feet, and Zhongchun, who was serving her, didn't know whether to greet Tao or not, but fortunately she didn't stay upstairs for long, and picked up things and went down with a smoke.
Wanxian lay down on the bed facing in, Tao was pestled on the ground like a pole, after a while, Wanxian felt Tao sit down next to her bed, and pulled the quilt for her: "I sometimes hate your grandfather, hate him for greedy for a few money, send me to the old mansion to be a child, if I didn't marry your father, maybe I would marry an ordinary boatman, I burn a good fish, and I will be diligent and thrifty, and save money with that boatman to do a small business, maybe you can buy a boat of your own, and you will be born on a boat at that time." ”
Her tone was very light, and there was no anger at all: "Then you can obediently stay by my side and grow up, you don't have to learn so many books, and you don't have the ambition to swallow the sky like you are now." ”
"I haven't read a book, I can't read, I don't even know my own name," Tao said as he sighed slowly, "But what I gave you is the best I can think of, Ah Xian, my girl, I have no father, no husband, no brother, you are my only hope, I only hope that you will live better than me in this life, and I dare not expect to get any benefits from you." ”
Wanxian's tears fell suddenly, she felt that her face was hot, and her body was also hot, like she had been whipped.
But Tao pressed her shoulder, didn't tell her to turn around, and said softly: "Sleep, mother is gone." ”
This sentence made Wanxian feel frightened, and she couldn't help but start all kinds of terrible associations, which made her rush off the bed barefoot and rush over to hug Tao's waist: "Mother, I was wrong, Mother, I'm sorry for you, I'm really not a thing!"
