Pain, this is Xia Ruan's only feeling. Slowly opening her eyes, in the dimness, she saw only a half-hidden wooden door.

Two shadows could be seen swaying in front of her, and she was finally dead.

There's no point in living in this world anymore, but that's just right.

The shadow seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the first thing she heard was a woman's voice: "I said brother and sister, although this Xiao Jiu is a talent now, if he wins the township test in the future, he may be a master." If Ah Ruan marries in the past, sooner or later he will be the wife. I'm afraid that Ah Ruan will not be happy. ”

Xia Ruan carefully identified it, isn't this the voice of the eldest aunt? It must be the memories of the past that reappear after death.

At this time, another voice that made Xia Ruan feel extremely familiar sounded: "The Xiao family's family background is too big, and this Xiao Jiu is a concubine." Sister-in-law, this is obviously looking for my girl to make up the number, and then Mrs. Xiao can find an excuse to split up. The one married by the second master of the Xiao family has always been a pungent person, doesn't this make our girl suffer? ”

Xia Ruan looked around, and what caught his eye was a wooden cabinet made of pine, tables and chairs, but it was no longer the sandalwood furniture that he had seen in the Hou Mansion in the past. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a woman wearing a blue floral coat come over with a pale expression and held her hand: "My Ruan girl, you have finally woken up." Your aunt has come to see you, too. ”

Xia Ruan desperately held back her tears, wanting to take a closer look at the woman in front of her. The woman was exactly like her deceased mother, and she wished it was more than just a memory. She couldn't help but get up from the bed anymore and hugged the woman in front of her.

"Mother's ......"

If her mother had been by her side all the time, she would definitely have taught her how to be a wife and would prevent her from marrying Tang Jingxuan. will definitely not betray her like that Xia Wen.

"What's going on? If you feel uncomfortable, tell your mother, and I'll go to Dr. Zhou to take a look at you. The woman's pale face was a little more worried, and she placed her rough palm on Xia Ruan's forehead. After a while, she used her cuffs as a handkerchief to wipe away her tears for Xia Ruan, and she could clearly smell the faint scent of honey locusts on her mother's clothes.

The person who was called the eldest aunt by the woman was none other than the Zhao family. She deliberately chose a new bamboo blue padded jacket today, and when she stretched out her hand, she didn't forget to deliberately show the shrimp bracelet on her wrist. The bright bracelet stung Xia Ruan's eyes: "This Ruan girl has woken up now, where do you need to hire any doctor, isn't this a waste of silver?" I said second brother and daughter-in-law, you and the child have a good talk. The girl who is about to get married, and she is still crying like this, how unlucky. ”

Xia Ruan was stunned, married?

She hadn't already married into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, so why did she still want to marry.

When he subconsciously grabbed his mother's palm, Xia Ruan found that his hand seemed to be much smaller than before. Looking down at his clothes, it was not like the cloud brocade he wore on weekdays, but cotton cloth. Remembering what could be so real, when she touched her mother, she could even feel her mother's body temperature.

Seeing that no one in the room spoke, Zhao slowly walked to Xia Ruan's side and said with a smile: "Ruan girl, when my aunt passed by the market today, I saw this garnet gilded step. It was a good match for you, so I bought it and gave it to you. Although we are not a wealthy family, we will not let you lose any gold and silver jewelry. ”

After speaking, Zhao took out a hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Ruan. Zhao's action was only halfway through, because Xia Ruan didn't plan to take it at all.

Although they are farmers, Xia Ruan's grandfather is a very smart person, because he is good at business, he has saved a lot of money over the years. The shrimp bracelet worn by the eldest aunt is not only valuable but also extremely exquisite. Because the shrimp whisker bracelet is entwined with gold wire like shrimp whiskers, and it is also inlaid with precious beads. This is something that ordinary rich and noble people can't take.

This seemingly exquisite aunt actually gave her a faded hairpin that she had used, and she still had the face to say that it was a dowry?

It's funny when the Xia family became poor like this.

"Isn't this girl sick and confused?" Zhao couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wanted to go to La Xia Ruan.

Xia Ruan pushed Zhao away. The last thing she wants to see in her life is her eldest aunt, if she hadn't been aggressive, she lied that her father had married an unvirtuous wife and couldn't give birth to a son for the Xia family. Her father didn't want to go out of the house to drink flower wine, and finally died tragically in a flower sister's bed.

If it weren't for her aunt forcing her to marry a poor showman, her mother wouldn't have thought of jumping into the river to commit suicide.

When her mother died, the eldest aunt took her back to raise her, and in the eyes of outsiders, the eldest aunt did her best to be benevolent. But she knew that the eldest aunt only took a fancy to the little money in their family, so she would deliberately take her for her own use.

In those days at her aunt's house, she never ate a clean white-flour steamed bun. It wasn't until Xia Wen was hungry and crying beside her that she was ruthless and stole ten taels of silver and fled into Beijing with Xia Wen.

That's right, she will never forget that Xia Wen.

Xia Ruan's eyes widened suddenly: "Mother? Where's the girl? ”

At this time, Xia Ruan's mother, Li Shi, looked at Xia Ruan in some surprise: "Sleeping in the house, it's not in the way." This kid is also messing around, and he has to play around with you in the autumn, which makes you suffer from the cold. ”

"Mother, you let Xia Wen go. You let this girl leave our house, you can't let her stay in our house. Xia Ruan was a little incoherent and said what she wanted to say to her mother the most.

"What's wrong with this kid? Don't you like Wen girl? Is this sick and confused? Li Shi held his daughter's hand with a worried face: "You have a good rest first, and then your mother will come to see you." ”

After speaking, Li got up and glanced at Zhao: "Sister-in-law, I'll send you first." This kid seems to be sick and confused, and I have to go find Dr. Zhou. ”

"What kind of doctor are you looking for, you go to the Taoist chief in the Taoist temple to show her, isn't it that you have seen something unclean. Hey, I didn't expect Xia Ruan to become like this, how can you let me explain to the Xiao family......" Zhao sighed, and then followed Li out of the road.

The room was quiet, but Xia Ruan was not calm at all at the moment.

She remembered that she once met a monk who came to turn into a marriage in a restaurant in the capital. Because of her kindness, the monk said to her more: "The Buddha said: "If there is a cause, there must be an effect." No matter what the donor encounters in the future, he must look away. Everything is a certainty. ”
