Mrs. Xia rubbed her hands and paced back and forth in the room: "Xiucai, don't you know these people, they are ruthless and snake-hearted." Do you think you're a great hero!? Mrs. Xia shook her head: "They can coax you, deceive you, and let you make greater contributions, and a plaque can buy you to work for them for the rest of your life." ”

Xia Xiucai thought for a while and said, "If you are really not at ease, let her guards take her back to Fengxiang to avoid it." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled bitterly and lowered her head: "I'm just afraid that she can't hide from the first day of junior high and can't hide from fifteen." ”

Xia Xiucai looked at his wife's fair face, it turned out that there were only some fine wrinkles at the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, but the wrinkles in the past two years have become deeper and deeper. At this time, because of the hurry, his brows were furrowed, forming a deep Sichuan character, as if carved by a knife. Xia Xiucai felt sorry for his wife and couldn't help but persuade: "Qingqing, you know that I don't know much about these things, what are you worried about?" Tell me about it. Even if neither of us can do anything, it is better to have your sons help you with the details than for you to be anxious alone. ”

Mrs. Xia raised her head and sighed, holding Xia Xiucai's hand and hesitating for a long time before saying, "I'm afraid that they will take this girl and the clan." ”

Xia Xiucai's body stiffened, and he shook his hand and shouted angrily: "No! There are so many daughters in their family, why should my daughters and vassals. ”

Mrs. Xia stroked his back and said, "It's all a shadowless thing, and I'm worried about it in vain." ”

Mrs. Xia saw that his face calmed down a little, and then slowly continued: "If Jiu'er really loses her body, she can't have children outside the fan, and she can only rely on the court wholeheartedly in the future." She's clever and smart. It's much better than those princesses who don't rhyme with the world. If Jiu'er is lucky, he can have a son and a half daughter, and if this child becomes a king in the future. How much can I go to our Han people. ”

At this moment, even Xia Xiucai frowned.

In Xiaoyu's room, the tattooed girl and Lin Zi looked at her angrily and took the piece of paper in their hands, flipped through it and looked at it several times, and then they threw away their hands and plunged into the bed and were silent. Ying Xue frowned and came in to see a few pieces of paper thrown on the ground, and glanced at Lin Zi and Wen Niang. Leaned over and picked up the letter. After unfolding it and taking a look, he exclaimed angrily: "Who is this who is so immoral and paints the girl like this." ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, she immediately arched a beautiful little face from the quilt, and asked pitifully, "You recognize me." ”

Lin Zi leaned over. After a glance, he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at the tattooed girl in surprise. The tattooed girl pursed her lips and looked at the piece of paper in amazement, then at Xiaoyu, and then at the piece of paper again. I hesitated for a long time. Ying Xue plucked up the courage and said: "Although it is said that a painting is 'ghostly'. One is painted with a 'demonic spirit', but this face can still be seen to be a girl. ”

Lin Zi saw that Xiaoyu's face collapsed instantly, and hurriedly comforted: "Actually, it's not quite like it, the cheeks and chin on the painting are slightly plump, and the eyes are a little bigger." ”

Wen Niang tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Xu we are with you every day, and when I see this painting, I can't help but think about you." If it's an unfamiliar person on the side, if so. I didn't see you, I want to come... Estimate...... Girl. Why don't we hurry back to Fengxiang, Yanbei will do the same. ”

Ying Xue chirped angrily and put the two pieces of paper on the table: "How can this be forgotten?" Tattoo Niang, you are still the girl's guard. Who did this good thing, to paint our girl like a snake on her head, this is ......" Yingxue frowned: "Is there a new script in Yansheng?" This, these boys are too capable of being demons, and the goblins in the script can't use our girl's face. ”

Xiao Yu stood up suddenly, took the two pieces of paper and said, "This is the news that Yan Sheng and the others just inquired about, and these two are the conditions for the Xidu people to negotiate with us." ”

The tattooed girl glanced at the "ghostly" and said, "I know this one." Saying that, he turned his head to look at Yingxue and said: "Your girl tortured the captives of Xidu at the beginning, what did she say, if you want to ask if something will beat people, you have to use a trick, so she painted herself like this, it is said that she is the god of fire in Xidu, um... The goddess of the night. Draped in hair... It's like this, dressed in black, and he was riding a tiger at the time, you see here, here, if you want me to say that the painting is quite similar. ”

Xiaoyu took a hateful breath and sat down at the table with her head down to figure out a way.

Lin Zi glanced at her and asked tremblingly, "Then what's the matter with this head full of patterned snakes, and what kind of god is this Xidu?" ”

Wen Niang shook her head: "I don't have a clue about this." ”

Yingxue tilted her head and looked at it for a while and said, "I can see it, this is not a snake head, these are pigtails." Right, girl. Is this a hair accessory for the Hido girl? It's strange how the hair of the people of Xidu is combed. ”

Xiaoyu wanted to cry without tears, and then remembered that she seemed to tell Ruowu about the Han girl, who would comb her hair when she didn't do anything a day, and comb her hair full of pigtails. She wasn't nervous at that time, so she casually rebuked a few nonsense words, how could she be painted like this.

Xiaoyu pursed her lips, rolled up the painting dejectedly, and thought: "These are the people waiting around me, I can't see anyone else all day long, I might as well ask Sister Lu, or the aunt who sells bean curd." Maybe these people won't be able to see it? I'm just scaring myself now. ”

Thinking so, he still instructed Yingxue: "You give my mother a look at these two paintings, forget it, Wenniang, you go, just tell my mother what you just said." Xiaoyu thought to herself: "If someone suddenly arrests them in a few days and escorts them to Xidu, they must not be frightened, I will blow the wind first, if it is really not good, I will also learn from my mother." ”

As soon as it was dark that night, Xue Yu suddenly packed up and left the house. Not long after going out, the Fang family sent a few boxes of gifts. Zhao Huanhuan's son Zhao Ping caught a glimpse, so he asked casually, only to know that the New Year was about to be celebrated, and he was going to give a New Year's gift to the life-saving benefactor of the Xia family. Because Xue Yu was in Beijing for the New Year this year, his family prepared everything early. I heard that in previous years, his family sent it directly for him.

Mrs. Xu and Zhao Huanhuan had to discuss a few more words, and the master and servant were talking, and the little girl from the second door ran in: "Aunt Ling came over to say goodbye." ”

Aunt Ling is the old man of Grandpa Guo in the past, and she is not very beautiful, but she is better than the person who has been waiting by Grandpa Guo's side since he was a child. is now a fifty-year-old person, and Grandpa Guo often goes to sit down, just to recall those high-spirited days when he was young. Aunt Ling wore a dark blue skirt with a flower and bird pattern, and as soon as she entered the door, she said with a smile: "Madame can really calm down, I heard that many families have gone to the Yuelao Temple to ask for marriage." ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and thought, "How did I forget her, she also has a daughter in her room, and she is thirteen or fourteen this year." Thinking about it like this, he didn't bother to entangle with her at this time, so he smiled and said: "Zhao Huanhuan, you go and get the right cards and let my aunt ask for a good marriage for our four girls." ”

Aunt Ling accompanied her again, and chatted with Mrs. Xu for a few words, and then happily followed Zhao Huanhuan out of the pair of cards.

As soon as she returned to her yard, her face sank, Aunt Ling suffered in her life because she didn't have a son, even Xue Yu's mother in the early years, and the serious Mrs. Yan couldn't take advantage of her. But when he was young, he didn't give birth to a son, and the evening scene at this time was a little bleak. If she sends her daughter to the peace clan again, then she will have no hope at all.

The four girls are ordinary-looking, if they go out with Xue Shizi, no one will believe that these two are brother and sister. Grandpa Guo has thick hair and a pair of triangular eyes, and the four girls have inherited it perfectly. On the other hand, Xue Yu only has a pair of thick eyebrows from Grandpa Guo, but a pair of big eyes are inherited from his mother.

She sat under the window and waited for the news, and when she saw Aunt Ling coming back, she hurriedly greeted her: "Mother! How's it going? ”

"Dead! Be careful to be heard. Aunt Ling frowned and said angrily, she still felt a little happy in her heart, in the end, it was her own flesh and blood, and this intimacy could not be faked.

The fourth girl shrank her head in fright, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, is she on the right track?" ”

"Yes, let's go and see each other tomorrow. While she's busy dealing with the prince now, let's get this done. Thanks to your second aunt, she heard the wind in King An's mansion, and hurriedly sent someone to sue me. You will have a good life in the future, but don't look at your second aunt. Aunt Ling was still a little apprehensive: "What the prince means, he has a strong temperament today, and he will never take the princess and the domain, so nine times out of ten she is the girl of the Xungui family." ”

There was an undercurrent surging in the capital, not only in the palace, but also in many prominent families who began to find their daughters of the same age.

Even Grandpa Guo hinted at her a few times, Mrs. Xu couldn't sit still, and news came from Aoba again: "Niangniang's meaning, to find a family affair for the two princesses in Xungui, I once said that it is not very big to be four or five years old." ”

Mrs. Xu thought secretly: "Princess Jingyang is five years different from the prince. ”

Zhao Huanhuan said softly: "Concubine Han said that there are quite a few young ladies of the same age in the capital. Saying that, he hesitated for a moment and said: "The saint doesn't know why he lost his temper, but it just so happened that Zuo Guifei was waiting on the side, so he ate and hung up, and was punished for thinking about it behind closed doors." ”

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but squint her eyes and ponder.

"The prince's little servant drank with Wen Jia once, but then went out with Wen Xi for two or three days in a row." Zhao Huanhuan saw Mrs. Xu's eyebrows raised, so she said carefully: "We don't have anyone in Beihan, it's better for the prince to know about their family." Yesterday, an old slave made a special inquiry, and I heard that the two daughters of the left concubine are not very good, and they are not as docile and gentle as the daughters of Concubine Han. ”

A sneer appeared on Mrs. Xu's face: "I want to pinch the royal thighs, but I don't want to be a little low, all the good things in the world are accounted for by you." Hum! (To be continued......)
