Chapter 16: Stay for the Time Being
Silently eating the porridge fed by Xin Ran, red bean glutinous rice porridge, boiled very finely, although it is not as good as Luofu, it is the best thing she has eaten in the past month. I moved my arm, I had a little strength, it was so good, I thought I was going to die like this.
Su Xiang secretly looked at Xin Ran and Aunt Xin, and it was easy to see that these were mother and daughter, their faces were very similar, and their eyes were also very similar. Looking at the place, this family should not be rich, it can be described as poor, but she was given this porridge, and it seems that she has met a good person.
After feeding the porridge, Xin Ran didn't say anything, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and took them out to wash, Aunt Xin saw Su Xiang in a daze with her eyes open, as if she had lost her soul, and couldn't help but wake her up, "Sister, where are you from?" Where is my husband's house? How did it come to this? ”
Su Xiang wiped her tears, choked up and said, "Thank you Madame for saving me, otherwise I might not be able to live." A few days ago, I got separated from my husband's family, fell off a cliff, and lost everything, so I had to beg all the way over, but I was lucky to meet you. Aunt Xin blushed and waved her hand, "Where am I a lady, the eldest sister can just call me Shi Lan." ”
Su Xiang is Mrs. Luo's dowry girl, who is Mrs. Luo! The wife of the prime minister of the dynasty, the youngest daughter of Cui Gelao, was famous in the capital that year, and married Luo Ziyu, the champion Lang at that time, and the current prime minister. She has been Mrs. Luo's personal maid since she was six years old, and then married Fucheng, who also married in the past, and has always been Mrs. Luo's confidant. If it weren't for ......, thinking of this, Su Xiang gritted her teeth for a while, she was really a crazy brute.
Su Xiang had just met Aunt Xin, and she didn't dare to tell her her identity, for fear of exposing herself and affecting the little master, and second, for fear of harming the innocent death of the family. He only said that he had fled from the country. In this situation, she has no way to inquire about the news, so she can only wait.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Xin thought of her situation at that time, so she could help her, "Sister, if you don't dislike it, you can live in my house, nothing else, a quilt and a mouthful of food are still available." ”
Su Xiang nodded excitedly, her eyes were red, and Aunt Xin comforted her for a while, "Then the eldest sister should rest first, I'll go out and boil some water, and I'll wash you later." ”
Xin Ran was already boiling water, and she also heard what the house lady said, in fact, she was a little hesitant about whether to leave Su Xiang, that look like a person with a story, there is hatred and pain in his eyes, maybe there is any enemy, and I don't know if it will bring danger to his family.
"Xiao Ran, my mother wants to keep her, what do you see?" Although she promised well in the house, Aunt Xin didn't know the bottom of her heart, after all, it was her daughter who was in charge, and she didn't know if she agreed. Xin Ran didn't speak immediately, and thought about it before saying, "Mother, as long as she doesn't have any bad intentions, her daughter will naturally agree with what her mother said, after all, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." Xin Ran deliberately said it loudly, just so that Su Xiang could hear it, so that she could put away her careful thoughts and not harm others. As for having one more person, one more bite is a trivial matter.
When Aunt Xin heard that she could be kept, she smiled happily and happily added firewood. Wait for a while to find out one or two of your old clothes, put them on for the eldest sister first, and look at them later.
Xin Ran was speechless, is there such a heartless mother? This mother is good at everything, but she is too kind and easy to be deceived, hey, fortunately, she has her daughter. Otherwise, if you are sold, you will help others count the money.
When she went to bed at night, Xin Ran took into account Su Xiang's body and prepared to sleep on the ground by herself, her mother and Su Xiang slept on the bed, Su Xiang didn't agree, she didn't have any choice, she just let her go, anyway, it was summer, and it wasn't cold.
This night, Su Xiang slept unsteadily, and couldn't believe that she was no longer sleeping in the wilderness, but in the house. The Assassins were still in sight with bloody broadswords, and if they hadn't fallen off the cliff, into the water, and washed downstream, they might have been killed. Those people watched themselves fall with the package, Fu Cheng should be safe with the little master, right? God forbid, God forbid......
After tossing and turning all night, I woke up at dawn and could not sleep again.
Hearing the movement of getting up, it turned out that Aunt Xin got up, and the two went to the kitchen together. Su Xiang felt that she had already eaten and lived in a human house for nothing, and she always had to help, so she prepared her to cook, but Aunt Xin didn't let her, seeing that she looked haggard, just let her burn the fire.
In the morning, eat red beans and red date porridge as usual, and only get up when the porridge is ready. When there is nothing to do, Xin Ran will get up at this time, and the mother and daughter don't pay so much attention to it, not to mention that Aunt Xin is still a spoiled daughter.
Su Xiang wanted to say something and stopped, what did she want to say, how embarrassed to let them break the bill again, Xin Ran knew that she had misunderstood, and explained, "Auntie, this is our usual breakfast, not specially made for you, really." My mother is also weak, so I specially bought these to make up for her. Su Xiang looked at Aunt Xin and saw that she also nodded, so she believed it.
"Girl, just call me Suxiang, thank you girl for saving her life yesterday." Su Xiang blessed Xin Ran and gave a gift. "Auntie, you're not my slave, you're just a guest of ****, just call me Xiao Ran. What is the name of the girl, I don't follow"
Aunt Xin was smiling and setting the bowl on the side, without helping, Su Xiang was very moved, but she didn't expect to meet a good family. "Okay, don't call me aunt then, call me Aunt Xiang, I'm ten years older than your mother." Xin Ran responded and called Aunt Xiang.
After breakfast, Xin Ran carried a piece of moon cakes, a pound of brown sugar, and a box of pastries to the village chief's house. By the way, ask who is the best person in the village to build a house, and ask him to build a house when the time comes.
The village chief is sitting under his own apricot tree, humming a joke, this apricot tree has been many years, and the village chief planted it himself when he was a child. Seeing Xin Ran, he greeted with a smile, "The little dye girl is here, what's the matter with grandpa?" Why don't you take things back, take them back and get them back. ”
Xin Ran put the things on the table in the hall, this was a ritual, she wouldn't take it back seriously, and besides, it was always a little thoughtful to trouble others to help.
"Grandpa the village chief, my family is going to build a house in a few days, will anyone in the village build a house?" Speaking of these, the village chief is energetic, he doesn't know what is in the village, otherwise the village chief is in vain? "How could I not know? There is something I don't know, hum, Li Dagui in the village is a good hand at building houses, and everyone in ten miles and eight villages is looking for him to build it. I saw your Uncle Li's house, that's what he built last year," the village chief looked proud, and he didn't know that he thought he would build a house.
"Last time your house cleared the wasteland, he also went, don't you remember? Children's families, don't you have a good memory? The village chief was happy when he saw the little girl eating deflated, and there were more folds on his face, Xin Ran couldn't help but want to complain, uncle, which eye did you always see I don't remember? Xin Ran was speechless, why didn't he find out that the village chief liked to tease people so much.
