When the three of them spoke, Brother Ying kept hiding beside him, and in a few words, he also listened to a general idea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Xiangyue and Ruyan turned back, Xiangyue sat on the stool, and couldn't help crying again for a while. Ruyan sat aside and just sighed.

Brother Ying sent the two little girls out to fetch water, and went to the house to make a pot of tea and send it over. Xiangyue had red eyes from crying, and gritted her teeth while crying, "I just cut my hair and became a sister-in-law, and I can't go to their house." I heard people say that the kid from her second aunt's family, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, all five poisons, the most unsuccessful, I went, didn't I send me to the kang, if my aunt can't be the master, I will cry in front of the eldest lady, I don't believe it, the eldest lady is hard-hearted, no matter how bad, I still have a death, her family wants my person, do his spring and autumn dreams! ”

Ruyan sighed, "We are subordinates, and it is inevitable that we will not have this step." If you want me to say, you should first discuss an idea with your aunt and grandmother, as a last resort, don't go to the eldest lady, now it seems that Chunxian is gaining power in front of the eldest lady, maybe it was her idea, otherwise, how could the eldest lady think of you - what did your aunt tell you yesterday? ”

"My aunt said that the eldest lady said, I am old, I want to let me out, find me a good family, the son of the pawnshop on the back street, Du Miaoer, his father used to be a buyer in the house, and now he is out, living in a separate courtyard, I have passed, I want to come back, I don't want to come back, let me be a pawnshop proprietress with peace of mind. My aunt and grandmother told me that I should not be sloppy in my marriage, let me inquire again, see what kind of family it is, and then let me discuss it with my parents and make an idea. His parents and my parents are all slaves born in this house, who doesn't know anyone, what his family is like, I already knew, when I didn't enter the house, I also saw him in person, what else do you ask? ”

Ruyan frowned, "You have been in to serve for many years, even if the two of you knew each other before, it was ten years ago, at that time you were all children, in the past few years, he may have come out, don't worry too early." ”

Xiangyue spat on the ground, "What is he like, I don't know yet, since I was a child, I and my own brother, and they have a few children, relying on being a domestic servant in the general's mansion, nothing bad has been done, in the past few years, my family has married that tiger-like sister-in-law, but I hate my brother for not being assertive, my sister-in-law didn't move all the family to her mother's house, and the family road is not as good as before, so they broke off contact." When my son came home for the Chinese New Year, I heard my brother talk about him, relying on the family's money, which has become more and more bad in the past few years. ”

It's probably a kind of thing, such as smoke at the moment, I really worry about Xiangyue, I think she has always been straightforward, but I didn't expect it to be this ending in the end, "Hey~ Pity your parents for their illness, weak and weak, and there is no brother in the family who can help you support you." ”

"I don't believe it, my life is so hard, I just came to my aunt and grandmother, and after a few years of comfortable life, the good days are over." Xiangyue held the silk and had red circles in her eyes.

There is nothing to be done about it, "It's the August Festival now, and my aunt is busy embroidering screens, what is the matter with you." ”

Xiangyue stared straight ahead, biting her lip, biting out a blood mark, stunned for a long time, and finally slapped the table, "No, this is a major event in my life, I can't be so at the mercy of others, I'll go to my aunt first, if she is embarrassed, I will go to An Rongtang to find the eldest lady, my mother followed the old lady into the general's mansion, and worked hard for decades, and now the old lady doesn't need my mother to serve, just send me to the wolf's den, can't!" I tore my face desperately and made a big fuss, you don't let me live a good life, and I don't let you have a holiday! ”

As he spoke, he got up and instructed Brother Ying, who had been standing next to him, to arrive, "Go and get me a basin of water, I washed my face and went to see my aunt and grandmother." ”

Ruyan hurriedly stood up and grabbed her, "You...... Think about it again, don't be foolish. ”

Xiangyue flicked her sleeves, "What nonsense is there now?" Could it be that you really want to see me get married? ”

In a word, let Ruyan have no movement, and now, Xiangyue has only one way to beg her aunt. She let go of her hand and gave Brother Ying a look, and Brother Ying turned around to fetch water for Xiangyue.

Waiting for Xiangyue to pack up and go to Longxiang Garden, Ruyan was left sitting alone in the corridor doing needlework, she was holding a handkerchief in her hand, her mind had already flown away, and she didn't know where the needle had gone.

Brother Ying came out of the house, and just saw it, so he stepped forward and took the handkerchief from her hand, "Sister Ruyan, if you are tired, rest for a while, otherwise, your eyes will hurt for a while." ”

Ruyan came back to her senses and smiled bitterly, "What are you tired of, it's just to make a fool of people." ”

Brother Ying knew that she was unhappy in her heart, and she didn't say much, so she just sat silently on the side, and didn't dare to joke as usual.

After a while, Ruyan laughed instead, "Why, when I heard about your sister Xiangyue, I also felt uncomfortable, in fact, it's not a big deal, girl, sooner or later you have to get married, as the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, marry a mallet and carry it, this is also a matter of no way." It's like your sister Xiangyue's brother, who used to be an unsuccessful person, and later married a sister-in-law, that is so powerful, Xiangyue's brother didn't dare to speak out loudly at home, saying one thing or another, and forced her brother over, but he was too protective of his mother's family. ”

Brother Ying tilted his head and thought for a while, "Isn't there any other way out for women than to get married?" ”

Ruyan was surprised, "If you don't get married, do you want to go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law?" ”

"That's not what I meant," Brother Ying said, shaking his hand, "I mean...... Yes...... "It's been a long time, and I didn't say anything, too, in which dynasty and generation, women don't all have to marry, it's just a matter of how much choice, "Can't we call the shots ourselves?" ”

"I haven't heard of three or four virtues, how can we girls call the shots. Like our girls in the house, although we don't have to listen to our parents and brothers, but isn't the master the parents, the master's words, who is whoever is who, how can we let ourselves be the masters. You, looking at the clever listener, why do you always ask stupid things. ”

Brother Ying pretended to be embarrassed, smiled innocently, and didn't distinguish anything. It's just that she secretly made up her mind in her heart, no matter where she lives, she is Cheng Xi in her bones, a new woman who is self-reliant and self-reliant, not those girls and servants in this mansion, and she will definitely not let these people manipulate her fate. Although I am wronged for a while, I will never be like this for the rest of my life.

It's almost noon, Ruyan is about to send a little girl to Longxiangyuan to inquire about the news, since Xiangyue left, she secretly pinched a handful of sweat, for fear that Xiangyue would be impulsive and really rush to An Rongtang to make a fuss, it was not a joke. Unexpectedly, Xiangyue happened to come back, Ruyan hurriedly greeted her, and Brother Ying also stood behind, secretly looking at Xiangyue's face, and guessing what the result was.

But Xiangyue didn't have any expression on her face, she asked her what she said quietly, Xiangyue shook her head gently, and then walked to the corridor, "It's really good today, and the sun is not hot, let's eat on the stone table in the courtyard in a while, and Brother Ying will also come over to eat together." ”

As if there was nothing to do, he ordered the two little girls to go to the big kitchen to urge the meal, "Really, Young Master Yuan is not at home, and if there is no one in this house, even the food will not be delivered on time." ”

The little girl replied with a smile, "Isn't this the August Festival soon, the kitchen is busy, and there are some who don't care about it for a while, so I'll urge it right away." ”

Brother Ying and another little girl went to get the dishes and chopsticks.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in front of him, Ruyan asked again, "What else did Grandma say?" ”

"Tell me not to make a noise first, and I'm watching, why don't I have a letter after the festival, and then my aunt and grandmother will find an opportunity to talk to the master."

Ruyan stood there, frowning and thinking for a long time, "In case the old man speaks, it's easy to say, but it just bypasses the eldest lady, she doesn't rub sand in her eyes, doesn't she have to be more angry with our aunt?" ”

Xiangyue stomped her feet anxiously, "Why don't I know, I'm worried about myself, and I'm worried about my aunt, what should I do." ”

"Auntie asked you to wait, you wait quietly first, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and there is no other way."
