Chapter 234: The House of Defeat

The two families turned their heads to look around, and when they saw that there was no one around, they looked at each other, and then walked over one after the other.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"Little girl, what are you doing outside the Hou Mansion?"

"Are you looking for someone? Looking for a brother? The person who walked in front took a step forward and came behind Xiao Xia, and the person behind stood in front of Xiao Xia, and the two of them stopped Xiao Xia in the middle, but there were breathless walls on both sides.

Xiao Xia has been standing calmly from beginning to end, and when they are looking at each other, he has secretly held the * medicinal powder given by Yuanfang in his hand. Even if Xiao Xia was surrounded by them in the middle, she was not in a hurry, she just looked at the two of them lightly, to see how shameless they could be?

The two of them were a little surprised when they saw that Xiao Xia didn't move: "Oh, the little girl is not small!" ”

"Hey, big brother, I saw that the little lady had a crush on us, so I was waiting for us to come and hook up with her!"

"Oh? Is it? Hehe, little girl, go, my brother will take you to a good place. The person in front of him stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Xia's shoulder, Xiao Xia also opened the powder pack and was about to spill it out, when a voice suddenly came from behind:

"Natsu-chan!"

The two family members were stunned for a moment, hurriedly retreated, and turned around to see a man and a woman coming over.

Yu Xiangxiang ran to Xiao Xia's side in a few steps and pulled Xiao Xia behind her, her hands on her waist and her eyebrows upside down: "What do you two pickled goods want to do?" ”

The two glanced at each other, straightened their faces and said, "Hey, this girl, don't hurt people!" ”

"Hurting people at the exit? The two of you are wearing the clothes of the Hou Mansion, but you are flirting with the women of the good family here in broad daylight? Hmph, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, do you want everyone in the world to know that the Hou Mansion is this virtue? Why don't you go to the house now, and ask your master to come out and see what stupid things you've done!" ”

Yu Xiangxiang is imposing. Even if they recognized them as the Hou Mansion family members, not only were they not afraid, but they threatened to sue the master, which was worth it, and let the master know that they had only one way to die.

The two of them were a little weak-hearted, and they had no confidence to speak: "This girl, don't, let's have something to say!" ”

"That's right. Girl. You read it wrong, we saw this little girl walking alone in the alley, and we thought she was going the wrong way. I want to help her, I don't believe you ask her, let her say it herself! ”

Yu Xiangxiang didn't eat this set: "You don't give me a lot of nonsense, sue you." Don't think my sister can't speak and bully, my sister can write. Do you want us to confront Hou Ye now? ”

The two of them were finally scared, so they hurriedly said good words to beg for mercy: "Don't be angry, girl, we were wrong, and we were also on a whim." I just wanted to make a joke with this girl, but you came before you even touched the little girl, really. Little swear! ”

Yu Xiangxiang glared at them with a cold face: "Hmph, it's okay to touch it." If you dare to touch half of my sister's hair, I want your whole family to be unlucky, believe it or not? ”

"Believe in it, the girl is angry, the little one will not dare anymore!"

"Don't you dare?"

The two looked at each other, thought about it, and each took out a few pieces of broken silver from their sleeves and held it in their hands: "Girl, this ......"

"Whew! This girl's family has a lot of money, and it is rare for you to have a little silver? ”

When the two of them heard this, they were even more afraid, and they thought they had offended some young lady from a rich family, so they knelt down with a puff.

Yu Xiangxiang pointed at them with her hands on her waist and scolded them, and then said: "It's not impossible for you to be private, you go and call Yu Shicai and her lady in the house for me." ”

"Yu Shicai?" The two family members looked at each other: "Girl, who is this?" Haven't heard of it! ”

"Why haven't you heard of it? Yu Shicai has been in charge of your Hou Mansion ten years ago, and he is still in charge of more than a dozen people in the porter! ”

The two blinked and thought about it, and one of them suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, you're talking about Yu Facai!" ”

"What is it to get rich? Yu Shicai is not Yu Facai! ”

"Hey, the girl doesn't know, Yu Facai made us give him the nickname, but he can't remember his original name very clearly, it seems to be this, right?"

"No matter, you call someone out for me first, if not, just look for it again."

"This ...... Girl, it's not that we don't do things, we really can't accompany our children! ”

"Why?"

"That's gone the year before the fortune, where do you let us find it!"

"What? Gone? How can it be? What nonsense are you talking about! ”

"Really, girl, we have nothing to do with you, there is no need to lie to you!"

Yu Xiangxiang took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, looked ahead in disbelief, and muttered to herself: "Dead? How can it be? He was the kind of person who was so bad, how could he die so easily? ”

"Hey, girl, that Yu made a fortune ******** climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, looking forward to becoming rich and becoming an official and becoming a master by himself, in order to get ahead, he did everything, not to mention selling his sons and daughters, and even his own wife could give it away, and later he coveted the beauty in the eldest young master's room and wanted to hook up with others.

Hey! That guy is old and whimsical, and he went to meet the beauty in the middle of the night, who knew that he was designed by the beauty, and he touched it in the black light and hugged it as soon as he saw someone, but who knew that it was the half-old Tian mother next to Mrs., who scared Tian's mother into shock, and the torch was a little up, and Mrs. took someone to arrest him. ”

Another family member hit him with his arm and said in a low voice: "Don't nominate your child, Mother Tian has always been ashamed of this, and let her know that you have to expose your skin!" ”

The man seemed to be persuading, but he saw his body shaking and snickering, obviously this matter has already spread throughout the Hou Mansion, these people will take this as a joke every once in a while, right?

Xiao Xia and Laifu turned their heads to look at Yu Xiangxiang, and saw that her expression was complicated, obviously she hated her father, but when she heard such news, she might not know how to react, right?

Rifle asked, "Later?" What did Madame do with him after she caught him? ”

"Even the eldest young master's woman dares to move, can Madame still make him feel better?"

Yu Xiangxiang was a little annoyed: "Don't talk about it, how to deal with it?" ”

The two of them smiled and stared at Yu Xiangxiang fiercely: "Girl, you and Yu Facai are ......"

"Don't ask, tell the result."

The two hesitated. One of them said: "At that time, the eldest young master was sick in bed, and Madame was the most taboo for others to treat the eldest young master badly. Yu Facai happened to hit the muzzle of the gun this time, and his wife was furious, and ordered someone to drag him down to hit the board, not counting, and threw him out of the house after hitting him half of his body and leaving only one breath, leaving him to fend for himself! ”

"That'...... Did he survive? ”

"Hi. Who dares to save the people who offend the Hou Mansion? He froze to death the night after he left the house! Died miserably! The two sighed for a while. It seems that I am still scared when I think of the situation at that time.

Yu Xiangxiang leaned against the wall and did not move, bowing her head and lowering her eyebrows silently, and the two family members stared at her. One said, "Oh, girl, why do I think you look familiar?" You...... ......What the hell are you doing with that Yu Fa Cai?"

Laifu waved his hand and said, "Don't ask too much, forget about today's business." Let's go, let's go! ”

The two looked back at Yu Xiangxiang as they walked, seeing that they were about to go away. Yu Xiangxiang suddenly said: "Stop!" ”

Laifu persuaded her in a low voice: "Okay, Sister Xiangxiang, it's no wonder to them for this, let them go!" ”

"I know!" Yu Xiangxiang walked in front of them with a cold face:

"I ask you. Yu Shicai...... His wife and children? But still in the house? ”

"This ...... I only know that his wife was sold by him to Wu Mazi in the horse farm in the countryside, and the others don't know! ”

"Where's the horse farm?"

"The Li family racecourse ten miles south of the city is it."

Yu Xiangxiang glanced at them coldly and didn't say anything. Turning around and walking in the direction of Xiao Xia and Laifu, she stopped slightly beside the two. He said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go to the Chengnan Racecourse!" ”

Yu Xiangxiang walked briskly in front, Xiao Xia and Laifu walked behind, seeing Yu Xiangxiang's hurried footsteps, Xiao Xialala, took out a pen and paper and asked why they came back? Why didn't you bring Sister Yu here?

Rifle said, "Hi! We went to the wine shop to find Sister Yu and said that it was Sister Yu's relative, and we wanted to take her out for a walk, but who knew that she was kicked out by the old lady of the Luo family, she said that there was no one in the Yu family for a long time, saying that we were liars, and scolded a lot of ugly words! ”

Xiao Xia was surprised, no wonder they came back so soon, no wonder Yu Xiangxiang was in such a hurry to find her family, no wonder they would come to the Hou Mansion......

That's not right, if there is no one in the Yu family, why doesn't Sister Yu say it? How long has it been since she's been out? She didn't even know that her father died so tragically two years ago? Alas, the family is miserable!

The Li family racecourse in the south of the city is easy to find, just on the edge of the official road, covering a wide area, and you can see it from afar.

As soon as they got out of the carriage, the guys greeted them enthusiastically: "A few guest officers, buy a horse?" What kind of do you want? The small one will introduce you to the introduction. ”

Yu Xiangxiang said: "Don't buy a horse, find someone!" ”

When the guy heard this, his face immediately changed, and he turned into a book in the blink of an eye, with his hands around his chest and a look of disdain: "Looking for someone? We are a horse farm here, and we only sell horses, not people! ”

"Hey, how do you talk?"

"What? Looking for something? Don't look at what kind of place this is. ”

Yu Xiangxiang was in a bad mood, and she was about to quarrel with the guy in a few words, but she was still clever, so she hurried up and said good things, and by the way, she stuffed a few taels of silver over, and the guy's face was fine all of a sudden, and he put away the silver, patted Laifu on the shoulder and whispered:

"Brother, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't be too spoiled, especially when she is out of the house, when is it a woman's turn to speak in the presence of a man? How faceless? Go back and train well, ah! ”

The guy squinted at Yu Xiangxiang as he spoke, and made Yu Xiangxiang jump to his feet, Xiao Xia hurriedly grabbed her, and Laifu also smiled awkwardly, and then asked where Aunt Yu was.

When the guy heard this, he thought about it: "Which one is Aunt Yu?" We don't have a surname here. ”

Laifu glanced at Yu Xiangxiang, pulled the guy farther away, stuffed a silver ingot into his hand, and said in a low voice: "That Aunt Yu was originally the lady of Yu Facai, the gatekeeper of the Hou Mansion, and was later lost by Yu Facai's guy to a man named Wu Mazi in your racecourse, does the eldest brother have an impression?" ”

The man's eyes lit up: "It turned out to be her, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"Is there such a person?"

"Yes, but don't blame the little brother for not reminding you, that Wu Mazi is now the chief steward of our horse farm, it's okay for this person to bark behind his back, if he hears it, there will definitely be no good fruit for you to eat, remember?"

"Yes, yes, thank you big brother for reminding me, that ...... Can you ask the little brother to help lead the way, so that we can meet the eldest lady? ”

"Don't call Aunt Yu, Wu Mazi is not happy to hear it, call Aunt Wu, come with me!"

"Oops, thank you!"

Laifu hurriedly came back, parked the carriage aside, entrusted it to another guy in charge of reception, and then gave Yu Xiangxiang and Xiao Xia a look, and led the two to follow the guy.

This horse farm is not ordinarily large, and it takes a while to walk around the perimeter to the back of the stable. The rows of stables are neatly organized, and all kinds of horses are walking around, how many people have to take care of it?

The man asked a woman who was washing the horse pen, and then took them to the big mansion on their side, and stopped at the gate of the second courtyard of the house: "Okay, I'll send it here, you can go in by yourself!" ”

Laifu thanked the guy, and personally sent the guy out a few steps, but when he came back, he saw that Xiao Xia didn't see Yu Xiangxiang, he was about to ask where Yu Xiangxiang went, and saw Xiao Xia make a silent gesture to him, pointing to the courtyard, Laifu stretched out his head to look, and saw Yu Xiangxiang hugging and crying with a cloth woman with tears on her face.

I haven't seen each other for many years, and the mother and daughter will inevitably grieve well, and when their love is a little more stable, Xiao Xia went over to help Yu Xiangxiang and Lai Fu helped Yu Niang.

Yu Xiangxiang wiped a handful of tears, stared at Aunt Yu carefully, and saw that she was dressed in cloth, her face was full of wind and frost, there were wrinkles on her forehead, and there were a few more strands of silver in her hair, although her skin was ruddy, she still looked much older than back then.

Yu Xiangxiang was sad when she thought about it: "Mother, you are old, look at your hands, so many calluses, how have you lived all these years?" How had you ever done such a menial job before? ”

Aunt Yu was also quite emotional, and directly wiped it with her calloused hand to help Yu Xiangxiang, "Xiangxiang is good, don't cry!" My mother is doing well, I just think that you sisters are thinking about it, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see you again in this life, see that you are safe, and my mother's suffering over the years has not been in vain. ”

"Mother, I heard that it was that old thing that lost you to Wu Mazi? Is it true? ”

Aunt Yu paused, lowered her eyebrows gloomily for a long time, and then sighed deeply: "That's it, everyone else is gone, what's the use of saying this?" ”

"He hasn't done half a good thing in his life, and he deserves to end up like this!"

"Okay, Xiangxiang, the dead are the greatest, let's not mention him, tell me about you, how have you spent all these years?"

Yu Xiangxiang's eyes flickered, seeing her mother suffering, she didn't want Aunt Yu to worry about herself anymore, so she casually said that I was doing well and perfunctory, and asked about the whereabouts of several sisters and brothers.

At the mention of this Aunt Yu, there was a long sigh: "Alas, you know what your father is, after you left, the old man was not convinced, and he had to ask our family to get him a girl again, even if he returned the money."

Your father's guilty man, obviously your fourth sister is married, he insisted on getting your fourth sister back, and sent it to the old man instead, alas, what a sin! He has done too much evil in his life......" (To be continued.) )
