24 The wind chill of horseback riding
Mrs. Shen is almost used to it every time she goes out, and Mo'er will not be moved by these women anyway, but she will get tired of it after a while.
However, this time, she couldn't be so relieved. Because, Zhang, who has been in charge of taking care of Mo Xuan, hurriedly asked to see him and said......
"Mo'er wants to take her in?" Mrs. Shen's face was extremely ugly.
For a long time, she has not restricted Mo'er too much, but Mo'er has never said so clearly which woman she wants to take in the house, many of the women he brought back are lively and clever, considerate and obedient, and even, there is no lack of pungent personality, however, he has never been particularly attentive to any one.
Mrs. Shen felt the need to meet the poor little girl who was said to have been sold by her parents.
"I've seen my wife, my name is Su Xing." Su Xing lowered her head, and along the way she was brought by Aunt Zhang, she had a lot of questions in her mind, one of the most important questions was - in this ancient time where her knees could pierce the ground, after seeing the so-called master, should she kneel?
But after thinking about it, she still thinks it's better not to wronged her knees, anyway, she is an ignorant little girl who has just left her parents and entered a mansion, and she has no knowledge.
Seeing Su Xing where to stop so aggressively, Aunt Zhang, who brought her here, was startled, and secretly reflected that she had forgotten to teach the child the rules, so she hurriedly and quietly pushed Su Xing with her hand, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you kowtow to your wife?" ”
"Prostration?" Su Xing looked at her, and then at Mrs. Shen, who was sitting on the couch and looking at herself, blinked, and asked suspiciously, "When you see Mrs., do you want to kneel and kowtow?" ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense, hurry up and give your wife a salute......"
Without waiting for Aunt Zhang to finish speaking, Mrs. Shen waved her hand and said with a smile: "That's it, it's just a child, and she doesn't understand anything, don't scare her." ”
Hearing this, Su Xingcai breathed a sigh of relief, meow, how can the old lady have gold under her knees, it is simply a jade diamond, how can she kneel like this. At the same time, the doubts that had plagued her all the way rose again, it seemed that Shen Mo's habit of buying people to play was not for a while, and he knocked it down, it seemed that his mother was not surprised by this, and let it go, why did he have to meet her this time?
"Zhang, you go down first, I'll leave this kid to talk to me." Mrs. Shen waved her hand to let Zhang go down, looked at Su Xing with a smile and said, "Come here, good boy, come and talk to me." Mo'er always said that he bought those women because they were interesting, and she wanted to know what was interesting about such a teenage child.
"Oh." Su Xing nodded, and couldn't help but say, "I don't speak well, if you don't listen well, don't let people beat me." Just now, she thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up selling pity to win sympathy and brush Mrs. Shen's favorability.
Compared with Aunt Zhang, Mrs. Shen is obviously a boss-level setting, and she has been in the back house all her life, if she accidentally makes a self-defeating accident, let Mrs. Shen see that she is a little cautious, God knows whether she will find her as interesting as Shen Mo, or think she is underwhelming.
"Who else is in your family?" While Mrs. Shen spoke, she kept looking at the little girl in front of her. There is a wit in the eyebrows and eyes, but there is no shortage of clever people in this world, and their appearance can be regarded as pretty, but there is no shortage of beautiful girls in this world.
The question is whether the person in the room can make her feel at ease.
After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Su Xing raised her head and said with a smile: "I also have a younger sister and younger brother in my family, as well as the eldest sister and second sister who were sold earlier. ”
Mrs. Shen frowned: "What about your parents?" ”
"They don't have parents, they don't lack arms and legs, and they also have the ability to make money to support their families, and they raise our sisters just to exchange money when they are short of money, no different from the traffickers on the street, not parents."
Listening to Su Xing's unthinking answer, it was not only Mrs. Shen who frowned, but also the two maids behind her.
"There are parents in the world, your child is too extreme." Mrs. Shen shook her head.
But Su Xing didn't give her the opportunity to publicize her parents' kindness, and replied directly: "My father was going to sell me to a rich old man as a concubine, but it didn't work, and then the old man bought another concubine, and he died within two days, and people said that he died immediately, and the concubine was also killed by the old man's wife...... Madam, what is a wind? ”
The two maids in the back blushed, and Mrs. Shen blushed at the same time.
Facing that innocent little face eager for knowledge, Mrs. Shen opened her mouth and finally said, "It's an emergency, I suffered from the wind and cold while riding a horse, and I soon became terminally ill and died." ”
"Oh......" Su Xing nodded suddenly, and couldn't help asking, "Then he was cold when he was riding a horse, what does it have to do with that little concubine, why did the eldest wife beat the little concubine to death?" ”
In the end, it was boss-level, Mrs. Shen's face quickly returned to normal, and she said with a smile: "I think it's because that little concubine did something wrong." ”
"If you do something wrong, you will be beaten to death......" Su Xing's face was worried, and after thinking for a long time, she finally made up her mind, looked at Mrs. Shen with fixed eyes, and said, "Then I beg my wife to discuss with my son-in-law, and let him not accept me as a concubine, otherwise, with my trouble-making nature, after he marries his daughter-in-law, he will definitely beat me to death." "Shen Heixin, what's the use of you having my deed of sale, if your mother has to let me go free, you can still turn against your mother.
"He wants to take you as a concubine?" Mrs. Shen has never been able to understand the fact that her son, who has no character, suddenly wants to take in a girl who is only twelve or thirteen years old and still doesn't know anyone.
Su Xing nodded: "Well, I told him that I am clumsy and stupid, I can't serve people, I can't be a maid, he didn't bring me to be a maid, I have to take care of a house for two years, and people say that accepting a house means being a concubine." However, I really don't want to be a concubine, I make a mistake as a concubine and I will be killed. But he said again, If I really want to redeem myself, I must give him two hundred and fifty taels of silver......
"Two hundred and fifty taels?" Mrs. Shen couldn't help but interrupt Su Xing's words, and said in surprise, "He spent two hundred and fifty taels to buy you?" ”
"No, he gave my father ten taels of silver. But he told me that if the ten taels of silver were to be taken to usury, the interest would be rolled out for two hundred and fifty taels. I begged him all the way, and he promised not to add any more, only to the two hundred and fifty taels. "You, I just sued your mother for what you wanted.
Mrs. Shen pursed her lips, not only her, but also the two maids standing behind her also glanced at each other and closed their mouths tightly.
No matter how you sound about this, it sounds like you're kidnapping a little girl.
