Xue Yao sent Uncle Ding Fu out, and stood at the door until he saw the carriage driving out of the village, and then slowly walked back to the house.

When I thought of the words that Uncle Ding Fu said with her soft little hand, I couldn't help but warm my heartbeat.

In the house, Mrs. Chen was talking to the Zhao family about Uncle Ding's visit to Xueyao just now.

“…… Xue Yao, this child is a blessed one, and it is rare to get the blue eyes of the old lady of Ding Mansion. Mrs. Chen couldn't help but say happily, "The more people value Xueyao, the more stable Qi Lin's future path will be." ”

“…… Mother, it's a good thing that people value Xueyao, but Xueyao is old, and now it's time to come out. Zhao said cautiously.

"It stands to reason that it's time to come out, doesn't this Ding Mansion Uncle say that the old lady can't leave her? I think it's better to let this girl serve in the old lady's house for a few years, maybe she can use the potential of the Ding Mansion to tell her about her family. I heard that after those girls from big families in the city came out, they married better than ordinary people, and they were all housekeepers and ladies when they arrived at their in-laws' families. Mrs. Chen twisted a piece of cake and ate it.

"Who's to say it isn't." Zhao sat next to Mrs. Chen and said, "It's just that I've heard people say that being an official should pay attention to family style, Qi Lin will be in the spring of next year, and he will be the official slaughterer after passing the Xiucai examination, and there is a sister who is a maid in the family who says that it is not very good, I am afraid that my colleagues in the officialdom will use this to press him." ”

A village woman in the Zhao family was able to say such a thing because of Qi Lin's teaching, and she valued her son more than her daughter.

"And such a thing?" Old Madam Chen's brows furrowed.

Qi Lin listened to Zhao say this in the second room, and his eyebrows stretched. But no, although he entered the White Horse Academy by taking advantage of the Ding Mansion, Xue Yao was a maid after all, and it was not good to say it, and when his classmates in the academy asked him about his relationship with the Ding Mansion, he only said that he was a relative and never mentioned Xue Yao, for fear that his classmates would laugh at him.

A bewitching figure walked into the room, and Zhao looked at his daughter with complicated eyes.

Mrs. Chen asked Xue Yao to eat snacks, stared at Xue Yao and said, "These sisters in the family are handsome Xue Yao, and they can't even compare to that quietness." I, an old woman, also know that Uncle Ding Fu can come to see you in person and invite you back, so he must attach great importance to you. After a pause, he said, "You are also old, I don't know if the old lady of the Ding Mansion can point you a good family business." ”

Xue Yao was collecting the teacup and incense burner that Uncle Ding Fu drank just now, and when she heard this, she seemed to be poked in the heart, her face turned red, and she turned around and entered the ear room inside.

Zhao looked at his daughter like this, and had a full stomach to ask, so he followed in.

Xue Yao sat on the bed, her eyebrows and eyes were full of charm, as bright as peach blossoms.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with Uncle Ding Fu coming to see you." Zhao sat down next to Xue Yao and said cautiously.

Xue Yao didn't speak, and Zhao said again: "I've been telling you about redemption for the past few days, you have been vague, and now that you are older, you can't serve in the Ding Mansion for the rest of your life, what do you think in your heart?" ”

"I don't want to leave Ding's mansion." Xue Yao said directly, "Out of the Ding Mansion, what good life can you have, it's not a matter of worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, if you marry a rural villager, it will be difficult to get ahead in this life." ”

Speaking of getting married, Xue Yao's face turned red again.

"It's not a thing to stay in Dingfu all the time, and it's impossible to stay in it for the rest of your life, even if it's a maid, you have to get married. I heard that some big families, the maid is casually paired with a small maid, just a small maid like Shuangshou today, and that day is even more unsatisfactory. Zhao said.

"You don't care, I have my own charter." Xue Yao was distraught and didn't want to speak.

Zhao Shi said anxiously: "You stay in it all your life, you want to be prosperous and rich, you don't want to think about your brother, next spring, what will your classmates think of him when they hear that you are a maid in Dingfu." ”

When Xue Yao heard this, she said: "I used to go to Dingfu to be a maid for my brother's future, but now that he has a chance, he can't look down on me as a younger sister." Saying that I am rich and rich, where did I come from glory and riches, that the life of serving people every day is so good, and now you will redeem me, and what is the money for your body? Xue Yao said with tears in her eyes, and sneered: "The money I brought is not used by my brother to study, I understand, you redeem me will not make the silver come out at all, but relying on my dignity in front of the old lady, I thought that she took pity on me and didn't want my silver to go back home." ”

Seeing Xue Yao crying, Zhao was also anxious, and hurriedly defended: "It turned out that I spoke too much. ”

“…… I have been a maid for a few years, and you only see me go home wearing gold and silver, and what do I have, and it is not the master who rewarded me. You see that I have become a big girl next to the old lady now, and I don't want to think about how I came here when I first entered the mansion, don't mention it, even now that I have a decent life, I am also the master, and I may not have a life if I make a slight mistake. Xue Yao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and the more she wiped it, the more she cried.

Zhao anxiously patted her on the back to give her relief, and cried when she saw Xue Yao like this: "I know your suffering, when your father sent you away, I felt like I had a piece of meat in my heart." You don't have to worry about the money that you have to redeem, since you are going to be ransomed, there will definitely be money. I'm really worried about you, you left the Ding Mansion to find a serious family for you to live a good life, my mother saw Uncle Ding Mansion coming to you today and was afraid that you would be in the Ding Mansion" Zhao couldn't go on, just blindly cried.

Xue Yao heard Zhao say that she would redeem herself and find her a good family, but she didn't cry anymore, and said coldly: "Good family, what kind of family is a good family?" What's the meaning of marrying in the countryside, don't talk about it far away, just say that the eldest uncle is still a showman, you look at what kind of life the eldest aunt's family is living. ”

"Then what kind of day do you want, I know you have a high spirit, let your brother see if there is anything good in your classmates." Zhao wiped his eyes and said.

"My classmates are all white people who are studying, how can they take a fancy to me as a maid." Xue Yao sneered in her heart.

Zhao looked at Xue Yao, thinking that she was annoyed as soon as she offered her redemption, and after adding the arrival of Uncle Ding Mansion today, she couldn't help but think about it again, so she had to endure and ask: "Xue Yao, you tell your mother the truth, what's the matter with that Uncle Ding Mansion?" ”

Xue Yao couldn't hide it, and she was afraid that her family would really redeem her, so she gritted her teeth and told the truth: "...... Anyway, whoever you marry is married, it is better to stay in Dingfu and have a son and a half daughter in the future, and you are not afraid of not having a good life. ”

Zhao was startled when she heard this, even if she was ignorant, she knew that Xue Yao was going to be small for Uncle Dingfu, so she hurriedly persuaded: "How can this work, I see that the drama says that people are small, and the status has to serve the housewife every day" Zhao said to be small, and the sound of "two words" is like a mosquito.

"The road is all walked by people, mother, don't worry about this matter, I have my own ideas." After a pause, his eyes sharpened, "My aunt also has a right." ”

When Zhao saw his daughter say this, he was not persuaded to persuade him, and he was blindly bitter in his heart.

"You went to your aunt's house a few days ago, and there is something I haven't had time to tell you yet, that the Sun family has given the old family's Qi An a kiss." Zhao changed the subject.

I thought that Xue Yao would have a great reaction when she heard it, but who thought that she only frowned, and said disapprerovitically: "That Sun family is nothing, a daughter is also three years older than Qi Lin, one will allow this, one will allow that, and it is not accurate." Qi Lin will have good things in the future, let's wait for next year's spring. ”

Chen Xiucai went home from the school, and Li mentioned to him the matter of Uncle Ding's coming to the house. Chen Xiucai said indifferently that this matter has no eyebrows and cannot be talked about. If there really is something, he can't ignore it.

Qi An told Xuejiao that Han Xingjian's grandmother was very happy with the wild chrysanthemum pillow, and her eyes were swollen, and now that Bitao was at home, the Han family invited Sister Xuejiao to Han's house as a guest.

“…… said that she would come to the car tomorrow to pick her up, and the aunt of the Han family heard that Jing Hao is now living in our house, so she asked her to go with her. Qi An said.
