Xie Wenxiu is a smart person, she married into Huan Mansion as a concubine, and her purpose was very simple.

Instead of marrying a side branch of an ordinary scholar clan as a wife and never being able to change his fate, it is better to be a concubine for a hot character like Huan Wen, in exchange for some benefits in the world.

In other words, Xie Wenxiu is also a woman with a little ambition.

Her idea is very direct, marrying Huan Wen and becoming the concubine of the Huan family, her life will be better than being looked down upon in Xie Mansion. If she conceives an heir in the future, her status will naturally be even more different, and she is not the same as the life in the Xie family.

The so-called slave bully, Xie Xiaoman initially felt it, although Xie Wenxiu did not have any congenital diseases, and after all, living in Wuyi Lane, the slave bully did not happen often. However, being ridiculed and looked down upon by his peers is already commonplace. This is also the original intention of her desire to change her fate.

In this era, there are very few ways for women to change their fate, and there is almost no other way than to marry.

If according to the normal status, Xie Wenxiu, a little-known side branch of the Xie family, can only marry a third-class scholar family, or a side branch of the same wealthy family.

The family situation of the third-class scholar clan is actually very difficult to say, some families are becoming more and more prosperous, and some families are not as good as those wealthy families, but they are just holding on to a façade, and they may wither the family business at any time.

And if it is the same side branch of a wealthy family, even if you get married, you still live such a day of being looked down upon by others, what's the point?

Before Xie Wenxiu got married. The family has already helped her plan a husband. It is a side branch of the Gu family of Jinling, an ordinary character, and the year before last, when he was in the middle of the Zhengpin inspection, he entered the middle grade of the five products. It is said that now there is an official position in the local government of Jinling, and everything else is mediocre.

Even if Xie Wenxiu didn't get married, he could imagine what kind of day it would be. Her mother was fated to live her life without any change, and she didn't want to repeat it.

So after Xie Wenxiu heard about Huan Wen's matter, Mao Sui stood up on his own recommendation.

With a nervous heart, she entrusted her life to this man whose name she only heard. This step. When she stepped out, she would never regret it.

She is grateful to Xie Xiaoman. After all, she also knew that Xie Xiaoman's identity in the Xie family was not much different from herself. Although everyone has their own ambitions, if it weren't for Xie Xiaoman, she Xie Wenxiu would not have gotten this opportunity.

And, let's be honest. Although my life is too lonely now. But I don't know how much less white eyes and criticism I received than before. Even my mother, who still lives in Wuyi Lane, said when she was Tongxin before that the relationship between relatives is much more harmonious than before.

This is called identity determines destiny......

Xie Wenxiu chuckled when she thought of this.

Sometimes, Xie Wenxiu feels like a gambler. put all his bets on Huan Wen, no matter what the future holds, it looks pretty good now.

And for Xie Xiaoman. Xie Wenxiu is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she has always felt that she still owes her. But on the other hand. Xie Wenxiu is also an ordinary woman after all, and women are jealous, not to mention her husband......

So Xie Wenxiu's mood was extremely complicated, at this time she looked at Nankang opposite, and couldn't help but think in her heart, for Princess Nankang, she should be in such a mood for herself. It's just, why has Nankang never shown it? Is it true that the city is so deep?

"Xie Xiaoman's matter, whether the impact on the husband is good or bad, it is actually difficult to say now. Public opinion is like a surging river, which seems to be nowhere to be found, but in fact, as long as you are good at guiding, you can always guide the direction of public opinion to your advantage. ”

Nankang said lightly.

Xie Wenxiu was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Nankang to lead the conversation to such a high-level level, she didn't understand it very well.

Nan Kang looked at her face and smiled slightly: "Do you think that I will be jealous of you?" ”

"Ahh Xie Wenxiu was startled, and hurriedly got up and rushed to Nan Kang Fuli, "My sister is a concubine, my sister is a wife, I can't compare them in the first place, how dare my sister ......?"

Nan Kang raised his hand to stop Xie Wenxiu's words, and said with a light smile: "You don't have to be nervous, I didn't mean to count you." Do you know that before you got married, the original husband wanted to marry Xie Xiaoman. At that time, Xie Xiaoman was unwilling, and I had tried to persuade her. ”

"Yes! My sister knows! I don't know if it's me, who doesn't know who doesn't know in this Jiankang city, sister, your virtue is so far, everyone in the city praises it. Xie Wenxiu said.

"You don't have to praise me, the reason why I went to persuade Xie Xiaoman is not to show others it, and it is not because I am really such a virtuous wife." Princess Nankang's face was indifferent, as if she didn't talk about herself anymore, "When I married Huan Wen, he was not the commander of the Western Army, although he had military power in his hands, but his power was not great. And he is still young, and he is only showing his edge in the court. The identity of the second-class scholar, I married a princess to him, in the eyes of the people at that time, it was really a little unequal. But do you know why I should marry him? ”

"Please advise my sister."

Princess Nankang smiled lightly, and her eyes flashed with memory: "Because he told me about his ideals." Although I am a daughter, I am also an ambitious person. Although I Nankang can't go into battle in person, I hope to help my man fulfill our common wish. ”

Xie Wenxiu was a little puzzled and looked at Nankang in puzzlement.

"My husband and I both have the same wishes." Nan Kang smiled slightly, "That's the Northern Expedition, and it's still in the old capital." Therefore, for this purpose, the husband needs to maintain a good relationship with the Xie family, and marrying the wife of the Xie family as a concubine is naturally a good move. ”

Xie Wenxiu didn't expect that just a simple marriage would involve such a big background. Although she also understands the purpose of the marriage of the scholar clan, what Xie Wenxiu is facing now is a man's ambition to swallow the world, and a woman's act of generosity.

For the sake of one dream, everything else can be completely left behind. Marriage is just a tool that can be used, people are just chess pieces used for layout, and even their own happiness is just a meaningless existence.

Xie Wenxiu can't understand this kind of behavior, and he will never be able to understand it.

Nan Kang didn't expect Xie Wenxiu to understand, Nan Kang just smiled slightly and said this.

"I'm telling you this to reassure you." Nankang smiled, "I won't be jealous of you, and I won't be angry because of your actions. In fact, if you can give birth to an heir for your husband, I will be very grateful to you. You may have heard rumors that I have been married for so many years and have no children because I can't have children, right? ”

"Sister, me, I ......" Xie Wenxiu was already panicked, and she didn't know how to deal with it at all.

"I can tell you right now that the rumors are true." Nan Kang said in a flat tone, "I have seen many imperial doctors in the palace, and I have come to the conclusion that I can't have children. Therefore, it is inevitable for the husband to take a concubine, in this case, accepting a little lady of the Xie family as a concubine has become the best choice. I won't be jealous of you, because you're just a pawn. Of course, in the final analysis, I am just a chess piece, who is the real chess player in the world. ”

Nan Kang smiled slightly, held the white child, and fell.

On the chess floor, the sunspot trend is gone and cannot be recovered.

"Mother, Grandma Xie, there is a Xie family outside who asks to see her, saying that they brought something for Grandma Xie."

At this time, the little maid in the corner gate passed the news of the Xie family's visit to the people in the inner courtyard, and the mother-in-law in the inner courtyard hurriedly came to communicate.

"Ahh Thanks a lot! Please go to the side hall, and I'll go over here. ”

Xie Wenxiu came back to his senses from the shock of Fang Cai in a trance, and forced himself to squeeze out a smile at this time.

Nankang originally wanted to leave, but when he heard the message, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and guessed something.

"Sister, if you don't mind, I'll go over and see you too, how about it?" Nankang Road.

As soon as the news of what happened in Lanyue Tower last night came out, the Xie family came here to deliver something? Is this a coincidence or what? Nan Kang wondered in his heart.

"Ahh Of course! Where did Xie Wenxiu dare to refuse, he stubbornly walked to the side hall with Nankang.

All the way around the corridor and through the corridor, when the female dependents arrived at the side hall, Xie Xiaoman and several people had been waiting here for a long time.

"There are male guests among the people who come, do you want the old slave to avoid them first?" The old woman greeted her and asked Nankang for instructions.

"Not necessarily." Nan Kang replied lightly, and led everyone into the back door of the side hall.

As soon as the subordinate opened the curtain, Nan Kang saw Xie Xiaoman's face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but be slightly provoked, and he smiled.

"Xie Niangzi, you are far away." Nankang bowed slightly.

"Ahh Xiao ......" Xie Wenxiu was taken aback, and just wanted to call out Xie Xiaoman's name, but was surprised that today's public opinion didn't seem to be very good, so he hurriedly gave up his name and didn't mention it, "Why did you come here!" I thought it was my mother who sent someone to deliver something, and if I knew it was you, I would have gone to the door to greet me! ”

"The sudden visit was originally my fault, not to mention that now I have something to ask for, and I dare not take it big." Xie Xiaoman smiled and arched his hand at Nankang again, "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Xie Niangzi's two-sided hard work in Jiangbei and Jiangnan is naturally different from deep boudoir women like us." Nan Kang smiled slightly, glanced at the few people behind Xie Xiaoman, and didn't talk nonsense with Xie Xiaoman, and asked directly, "It's because of last night's incident, and the evacuation came?" ”

Xie Xiaoman liked Nankang's straightforward temperament very much, and said with a smile at this time: "Yes!" My family was implicated in my affair. It's not easy to find a place to live at this time, so I have to come to your house. In the final analysis, General Huan is half responsible for the occurrence of the incident. (To be continued.) )
