Chapter 131: Threat
Aunt Li was sent away by a carriage that night, and when she heard the order given by the old lady, all the people who talked about pity and sympathy and ridiculed Jiaxuan in private were silent, no matter how pitiful she was, it was the eldest lady, and it was not something they could laugh at will.
Jia Xuan heard the nurse's happy laughter in the room, and pulled the corners of her mouth shallowly, "Grandfather can't even tell who is who is me, and no one is willing to do this for me except my sister." She laughed self-deprecatingly.
The nurse pondered for a while and sighed and said: "Miss, although the old slave doesn't know a few words, but there are some things I still have to say, as the eldest daughter, the eldest lady is doing very well, no matter what it is, you and the eldest lady are sisters who are closer than the third lady, and the same qi is good for you and the eldest lady, so the eldest lady spares no effort to help you."
Even Madame turned a blind eye, and she treated you very leniently in the face of the eldest lady. Aunt Li is so arrogant, even Mrs. is uncomfortable, she has not accumulated any blessings for you, but has brought you a lot of resentment and trouble. The eldest lady treats you as a brother regardless of her previous suspicions, Miss, you have to cherish it, the old slave can't protect you uselessly. He sighed at the end.
The young lady of his family is still qualified to choose if she is the concubine of the eldest house, and her identity is not bad; In terms of strength, she doesn't have a good aunt to help her, but the masters of the family are all clear and generous, and they have never been framed badly, which makes her more blessed than others.
Jia Xuan lowered her head, tears fell one by one, and it took a long time before she spoke, "I know, my sister treats me really well." I won't forget Jì, she is the one who gave me warmth regardless of my previous suspicions and did not ask for anything in return, I remember it all. The voice was soft, as if whispering and sighing.
"Yes, the future of the eldest lady is destined to be great, but she also has to bear more responsibilities than you, didn't the former say that the young lady offended the daughter of Duanwangfu in the palace, or because the other party remembered to bully the eldest lady. I also know that the palace is full of princesses and princesses. Each status is precious, and no one can afford to offend, and even the companion has died of illness for no reason, not to mention that the eldest lady is just a daughter of a family. She is only a few months older than you, but she is cautious everywhere to coax the queen mother and the emperor to be happy, this glory looks dazzling, but who can see the hard work here? Miss, we countrymen have a rough saying. The more you want, the lower your waist will bend! She sighed and went out the door to get some refreshments for the young lady.
Although the nurse is uneducated and illiterate, her life experience is much richer than Jia Xuan's, how can she not see the unwillingness and anger in Jia Xuan's heart, but what is the use of this, it will only make her path more and more crooked.
Jia Xuan covered her face with her hands, two lines of clear tears meandered down, and suppressed cries came out of the house intermittently.
Zhilan also sighed, the second miss is not easy, in fact, she is not bad. Unlike ordinary people, who are stupid and don't think about things, and have to toss and play temper, this person never beats and scolds his subordinates no matter how uncomfortable he feels. One yard to one yard, even if I don't like pink, I haven't been harsh, and the reward will still be happily sent, and I am still generous in doing things.
Zhilan bit her lip tightly, her eyes were a little stunned, there was a letter from home, saying that the second brother was going to get married, and she had no money to build a house, so let her not redeem herself for the time being, the second brother still needed some money. Let her think of a way to save some money for a few more years.
I have been selling myself in Shangguan Mansion for many years, from a girl with no foundation to becoming a first-class girl by my wife's side, how much effort I have suffered. Only she knows best, she knows that she can't be trusted as Sister Yinzhu, because she is not a child, she thinks more, and she is used to leaving more roads for herself, and she has to talk less to be down-to-earth.
Forget it. After all, after all these years, there's actually nothing to look forward to, right? I have known the result for a long time, but I still have extravagant expectations.
wiped away the tears on his face, resolutely turned around and entered the house, looked at Jia Xuan, who was also in tears, and said calmly, "Miss, I need silver, can you give it to me?" Zhilan wept while holding her head high with a resolute mood, and her words opened her mouth like a cannon, as if she would regret it if she said it slowly.
Jia Xuan was a little stunned for a moment, quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, eased her feelings, and then asked: "Why are you crying, come and sit down and say, is there something difficult at home, although I am useless, I still have some silver."
If it's not enough, I can still talk to my sister, you know, my sister is still very good to me, and other things may be more difficult, but my sister has always loosened her hands and not put these in her eyes, how much do you need? I have fifty taels for the time being, and last time my aunt took away not all of them. I secretly hid some myself. So saying, he got up and went to the bedside secret compartment drawer to get some broken silver, and took the fifty taels of silver that Yongtai gave yesterday and handed it to Zhilan.
She still understands Zhilan's personality, and she is not a person who does not speak lightly as a last resort, so she rushes to herself without a head or brain, I am afraid that she will be forced to be anxious.
Zhilan was holding a small bag of silver, and suddenly covered her face and cried, crying so sad and desperate, crying sad and heartbroken, it seemed that something had completely disappeared from her heart.
Jia Xuan watched her cry like this, and felt a little embarrassed in her heart, her originally sad mood turned out to be better.
Look, there are people who are more bitter than me, what am I pretentious about, the days of fine clothes and food are not good, it's really ......, what's wrong with me? I didn't cry when I was so bitter before, but now I really live more and more like a child, and I'm squeamish.
Jia Xuan didn't persuade, but she went out of the house and asked her to get a basin of hot water for her, saying that she wanted to wash her face.
Taohong brought hot water and wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by Jiaxuan and took it, "Go ahead, I want to practice a word and don't want people to disturb me, something is calling you." ”
Taohong was a little unwilling, she clearly heard Zhilan's cry, and wanted to go in and have a look, "Miss, I'll help you bring it in." ”
Jia Xuan chuckled, her eyes were slightly cold, and her tone was light, "How old are you?" ”
"Huh? Back to Miss's words, the slave is thirteen. Taohong was a little stunned, not knowing what Jiaxuan meant by suddenly asking.
"Oh, thirteen will be fourteen next year, it's not too young, and it's time to get married in two years. You know, I don't like you to sway from side to side, and you don't think I'm a young lady in your eyes, if it weren't for your mother doing things in front of your grandmother, I would have sent you away. But it's time for me to make up my mind now, I think you're also very caring, and I've decided to keep you for a few more years, what do you think? Jia Xuan smiled maliciously.
Peach turned pale in an instant, yes, her marriage is still in Jiaxuan's hands, even if her mother helps to say the item, but if the young lady says that she is reluctant to stay for another two years, such a thing will be delayed and there will be no shadow, the girl's youth is only a few years, the old lady is old, and she forgets to the back of her head when something goes wrong, so she can still think of such a small person.
"Miss......, slave...... The slave must serve the young lady well. At this time, Taohong was really frightened, she didn't want to be dragged into an old girl and remarry. (To be continued.) )
