Chapter 123: Killing the Chicken
Cuizhu held an oil-paper umbrella for her own young lady, and the group took the maid and the grandmother to follow behind Xia Xue'er, and walked towards the green lotus pond. After the old lady's room stood behind the window for a long time, Shuang'er heard the footsteps of the group getting farther away, so she stretched out her hand and pushed open the pasted paper window with a "bang", her sword-like eyes followed Xia Xue'er's graceful posture tightly, and gritted her teeth with hatred, some people can only be their own in this life!
Time passed little by little, the original Qinglian Pond was not too far from the Livable Pavilion, just through the garden and then around the rockery and bamboo forest, but today Xia Xueer took another stone path, the scenery along the road is also beautiful, but there is no leafy tree that can shade and enjoy the shade along the way. Seeing that the sun is becoming more and more poisonous, the aunts who have been in the livable pavilion for a long time feel that their bodies are a little unbearable at this time, how can they compare with Xia Xue, who is pampered on weekdays, with Xia Xue, who has been practicing martial arts all year round? At this time, I couldn't help but retreat in my heart, but it was difficult to say it, just like Fang Cai didn't want to be the first person to show his heart, and now no one wants to be the first person to leave, especially after seeing the charm and demeanor of the young lady in front of him. They are all people with children, and no one wants to miss this opportunity to please the door in vain, after all, Xia Xue'er is the one who can be the imperial concubine in the future, if the six princes are angry, the queen of the middle palace is her bag, and the people who are good friends with her can also enjoy the blessings!
So, although they were on the verge of collapse, they were all patient and tried to talk with smiling faces.
"You little rabbit cub, you don't learn well at a young age, you dare to steal!"
Suddenly, there was a stern shouting and scolding from the corner not far away, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, and they couldn't help but look up for it.
Although there are hundreds of flowers blooming around, but not in the garden, there are no tall plants that block the view, only a little look up can see a hundred steps away, an old mother is one hand on the waist, the other hand to pinch the child standing in front of him, far away, Xia Xueer did not see the boy's face, but saw that he did not dodge or dodge, and suffered a few hard pinching from the old woman, his head was still arrogant, as if he was staring at the old woman.
"You dare to run away after stealing something, why don't you run now? I'll let you run, I'll let you run, you little bunny! ”
The old mother abused the boy with her hands and feet, but the boy still kept silent, even if he was forced to retreat, he still held his head high!
What a proud child!
I thought it was a family child in the house, there were more than 100 people in the Xia Mansion, and there were many children in the family, this seven or eight-year-old child Xia Xueer remembered that she had seen a few, but although the family children were naughty, most of them were submissive, and now the child's arrogance is a little different!
Xia Xue'er had doubts in her heart, so she walked towards the scene of the crime, and the group behind her hurriedly followed. The old lady was obviously addicted to teaching the child, and she didn't notice that she had attracted the attention of the young lady, but kept scolding and scolding, and her hand didn't stop, and pinched the boy's arm a few times harder.
Xia Xue'er walked in front, followed by Cuizhu and Dongmei, Dongmei's eyes were sharp, and she immediately recognized the reprimanded boy, and whispered a few words in Xia Xue'er's ear, Xia Xue'er's pupils shrank, and it was really the same as she guessed in her heart! Towards Cuizhu made a look, Cuizhu comprehended, stepped forward in three or two steps and restrained the old mama's hand, the old mama was having fun, and was suddenly interrupted, and before he could turn his head, he scolded:
"Which little rabbit cub dares to break the old lady's ......" When she turned around, before she finished speaking, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.
"The old slave was confused for a while, he offended the third miss blindly, and dirty your ears, the old slave didn't dare anymore, please spare the old slave this time!"
Xia Xue'er didn't look at the old woman who knelt on the ground to ask for mercy, but set her eyes on the boy who was reprimanded by her. After a few months, he had completely shed his childishness, he had grown taller, but he had lost a lot of weight, and he was wearing an old dark black robe, but it did not fit, and his wrists and ankles were exposed. A palm-sized little face is raised, the facial features are three-dimensional, the face is a little sallow, there is no trace of expression, and there is no cry of pain, the bottom of the eyes is as cold as ice, as if there is no hope, and it seems that he can't feel the surroundings. He remembered the last time he saw him, he still tilted his head and begged himself not to resent his mother, but now he was alone.
In this deep-walled compound where he judged the situation and saw the wind and steered the rudder, he must have suffered a lot of grievances with the name of Bai Yining's son on his back, and even a subordinate dared to do something to him, you can imagine how bleak his life is, and it is no wonder that he has such cold ice in his eyes at a young age!
I can't help but feel guilty in my heart, the grievances of the previous generation have finally harmed this generation!
After the aunts behind them recognized the person standing in front of them, they all sighed, and some even laughed, "The children born in a cheap life are really not serious, and they can steal things!" ”
Xia Xue'er frowned slightly after hearing this, turned her head and glared at the man, who hurriedly closed his mouth and lowered his head and stood aside.
"What did he do?"
The expressionless mouth, the coldness in the voice not only made the grandmother kneeling on the ground tremble, but even the large group of aunts and ladies behind him unconsciously took a step back, especially the few people who had just fallen into the well, and they broke out in a cold sweat for a while, and after reminiscing, they felt inexplicable, they were actually scared like this by a tone, which was really embarrassing!
He ...... He stole ancient ...... from the library Ancient books, caught by slaves! As she spoke, she trembled and held a yellowed book above her head with both hands, Xia Xue'er only glanced down at the name of the book, "The Wild Goose Song", which is just a travelogue, not a precious book.
Instead of reaching out to take it, he asked, "Do you know who he is?" ”
The old lady lost a lot of money gambling with people today, and when she was depressed, she bumped into the unlucky ghost Xia Lin, so she took this opportunity to scold to vent the depression in her heart, but she didn't expect to disturb the third lady's Qing'an, she was still frightened when she heard this at this time, and suddenly felt that her chance to turn over had come!
After all, the Bai family was expelled from the mansion overnight because of who she offended, it was already a well-known secret in this huge Hou Mansion, how could an old lady like her, who had lived in the turbulent Hou Mansion all her life, not see what wind was blowing in the Xia Mansion now?! If it weren't for the survival experience of most of his life, how could he dare to treat this summer forest like this!
