Chapter 20: Doubts

Ah Xi fed a spoonful of porridge and a chopstick dish, and the third young master puffed out his cheeks and ate it in a big gulp.

The fragrant smell of porridge and side dishes reached Ah Xi's nose one after another, and since Grandma died, the family has never eaten rice porridge again. Assi swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and when he reacted, he suddenly felt so embarrassed.

Grandma said that no matter at any time, you must not lose your self-esteem, not arrogant, not arrogant, not arrogant.

Third Young Master Xu noticed Ah Xi's action of quietly swallowing saliva, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he pointed to another cup of porridge: "You eat it too." ”

Axi's face turned even redder, and she scooped a spoonful of porridge and sent it to the third young master's mouth: "You eat first, and I'll eat it when I'm done." ”

The third young master shook his head, closed his mouth and didn't speak, just stared at her.

Assi couldn't help it, she put the spoon down: "In this way, when I eat, you can eat too, okay?" ”

"I ...... I won't. He looked at the spoon and chopsticks curiously, moved and gave up.

"Won't?" Assi looked at his hand.

After being poisoned, he couldn't even hold the chopsticks, his hands were shaking at that time, and he would knock over the bowl in front of him with a spoon alone, Mrs. Xu looked angry and irritable, so she never let him eat with the family again, and every day the meal was served to him separately and brought to his room, and then asked Mrs. Li to feed him.

From the age of twelve to sixteen, for four years, he never ate by himself. Once he took advantage of Mrs. Li's inattention and took a spoon to eat, and was slapped off by Mrs. Li: "Stupid idiot, the spoon can't be held steadily, and the food is not washed on the clothes, and it is not a thing to lose money." As he spoke, he dribbed the juice on him, and then sued Mrs. Xu. So in the next two days, Mrs. Xu stipulated that he would only eat a bowl of porridge every day, which explained the punishment for disobedience.

"She won't let me, I'll eat it myself, she'll beat me." The third young master lowered his head and said aggrievedly.

Assi was shocked: "Who? ”

The third young master of the Xu family, said that he would be beaten if he ate? Has he been beaten by someone else?

"It's gone." The third young master took a deep breath, and when he raised his head, he smiled again: "I won't, will you let me eat it myself?" ”

It's gone, which means that the person who beat him is gone.

It turned out that I heard my grandmother tell a story about the slave bully.

It is said that there is a big family in Bianzhou, three generations of single transmission, to this generation of sons, the daughter-in-law gave birth to four children in a row, all of them are girls, the head of the family and the old lady do not like it, they began to abuse and persecute the daughter-in-law, and if they can't have a son, they will take a concubine for their son. The daughter-in-law then put all her energy on seeking medical advice, and the four girls naturally took care of it less, until one day the four girls suddenly fell ill and died, and the daughter-in-law found that the servants in the family, with the connivance of the old lady, ignored the four daughters and were perfunctory, lacking clothes and eating and scolding from time to time, and warned not to speak out. Especially the four girls, who are only more than two years old, originally from a small and weak body, and the windy season in autumn, the servants actually let such a young child wear single clothes to play on the tuyere for an afternoon, and they didn't take it seriously when they caught a cold and fever, and they didn't even cook a bowl of ginger soup, and they didn't add another piece of clothing, so just a few days, the four girls had a fever, cough, and got sick.

Does the Xu family also have such a servant?

Or was it not the servant woman below who did it, but ......

That's right, why did Third Young Master Xu get married in Chezhu Town, instead of returning to the Xu family in Chuanping to get married?

Why is there only Master Xu when he worships the high hall, and Mrs. Xu is not there?

I haven't heard the news that Mrs. Xu is sick or gone, it stands to reason that my third son is married, and no matter how far away he is to be a mother, he will come here, not to mention that Chuanping County is not far from here.

But it shouldn't be, the tiger poison doesn't eat children, it may be because of other reasons that Mrs. Xu didn't come, it should be the servants who deceived the upper and lower.

Axi suppressed the doubts in his heart, and suddenly felt that the third young master was also very pitiful.

Originally, the reputation of a prodigy was spread in his childhood, but judging from the situation at that time, the future of the third young master Xu was bright, and he could enter the official school after passing the child examination, and then he was promoted in the examination, seeking an official and a half position, and marrying a virtuous lady who was well-matched. But who expected that something suddenly happened, not to mention what the future was, just to say that he is now like a child, and he can't even eat by himself.

Axi sighed, she picked up the spoon and showed it to the third young master: "The hand is held like this, that's it, pick it up, yes, scoop a spoonful of porridge." ”

"Well, that's right, you're learning so fast, so you can drink porridge by yourself in the future, okay?" The third young master learned to hold a spoon in two clicks, and his hands did not tremble, and he ate all the spoonful of porridge into his mouth without spilling it.

"Good!" The third young master was very happy, and the bowl of porridge was eaten cleanly after a while.

After eating the porridge in two bites, Ah Xi was worried that the dishes would be wasted, so he simply finished all the side dishes, and the third young master looked at her with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is so beautiful to eat." ”

Axi has been educated by her grandmother since she was a child, eating, drinking, walking and walking, she has not paid attention to what the other girls in the village are like, and she has never felt that she is different from others.

But in the eyes of others, I only think that she doesn't look like a village girl, and the etiquette of eating can't be found bad, but she feels very comfortable.

She never knew it.

Hearing this, Axi stood up with a red face, and she said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "It's too late today, will I teach you how to use chopsticks tomorrow?" ”

"Good!" The third young master clapped his hands, then tilted his head sideways and thought about it, and asked, "Where do you sleep at night?" Tomorrow I will be the first to see you when I open my eyes. ”

Yes? Where to sleep?

Don't you want to sleep together after getting married?

However, the third young master is the same as a child, it definitely doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep together.

It's better not to sleep together.

How embarrassing it would be.

But where are you going to sleep?

Assi held his breath and didn't know where to go. She looked around and saw a small couch near the door in the outer room.

The third young master sleeps at night, there must be someone keeping vigil in his room.

I can sleep where the night watchman sleeps.

Axi breathed a sigh of relief and called Yulu in: "How does the third young master usually rest?" ”

Xingchun quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, Yulu didn't know why, and looked at Axi suspiciously: "The third young master will sleep on the bed in the middle." ”

"What about me?" Assi asked.

"Third young grandmother, you ...... You also slept in the middle of the bed. "Yulu is confused.

"Oh, no, I ......" Assi didn't know how to explain it.

The third young master suddenly spoke: "You don't have a place to sleep?" Then you can sleep there," he said, pointing to the couch at the door, "and you can talk to me at night." She wouldn't let me talk at night before. ”

Who the hell is she?
