The sunset, red flowers, a scarlet light in the courtyard, and the dry heat in the wind has gradually subsided.

Xia Chen played a set of boxing activities to open his muscles and bones, took out his bow and arrows and practiced against a few bells tied to the branches in advance.

As the twilight deepened, Xia Chen shot the last bell down, and heard two cheers from the entrance of the courtyard.

Yue Feiyun and Wei Han didn't know when they came over, Xia Chen had just focused all his energy on the bell, so he didn't pay attention.

Wei Han walked over: "Chen'er, your archery skills are so exquisite, and such a dim light can shoot the thin thread of hair impartially. ”

Yue Feiyun said: "Yes, I have been practicing archery for many years, and I don't dare to say that I can have such attainments. ”

Xia Chen smiled: "It's just luck." ”

Wei Han smiled: "Oh, did the sun come out of the west?" Chen'er became humble. ”

Xia Chen glanced westward: "It's not to hit the west and come out, but to hit the west and fall." Then he put his arms around his shoulders: "Do you have anything to do here?" The two men had lunch and left, and when they saw that it was getting late, they had come back again.

Yue Feiyun smiled bitterly: "This is my home, do I have to have something to come back?" ”

Xia Chen's phoenix eyes picked: "But don't you live in the General's Mansion?" ”

Yue Feiyun said: "I will stay for a while when I come back this time, and I have planned to take care of this mansion, otherwise how could I come today!" ”

Xia Chen really couldn't think of any reason not to allow Yue Feiyun to go back to his house to live, but fortunately, this mansion was big enough, and he didn't have to go through the same door to enter and exit. "It's free for you to come back here and live, if you find it inconvenient, I can ......"

"Chen'er, I said earlier that you can live here with confidence, and I also want you to live here." Yue Feiyun said busily.

Wei Han said: "Chen'er, Feiyun's archery and martial arts are all above me. With his guidance, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when you practice martial arts. ”

Xia Chen felt that this was really a good opportunity, although she didn't need someone to guide her moves, but the best way to improve in martial arts was to compete with high-level people.

"Then Chen'er will continue to bother here for a while."

Yue Feiyun smiled slightly: "Chen'er, I can't find a good cook for the time being, I think Yueniang's skills are very good." ”

Xia Chen couldn't cry or laugh for a while when he heard this: "Brother Yue doesn't like our coarse tea and light rice, so I'll let Yueniang prepare more." ”

Wei Han hurriedly said, "Take me a piece too." ”

"It's okay to eat. But you have to pay for the food. Xia Chen smiled sweetly.

Wei Han shouted: "It's not fair. Chen'er, you are eccentric. ”

Yueniang came over from the sandwich road next to the house with tea: "I have prepared refreshments, do you want to taste them?" ”

Xia Chen glanced at the sky: "Come into the house and sit." She never imagined that she would live under the same roof with Yue Feiyun, and what was even more boring and helpless was that Wei Han actually came to join in the fun.

The next morning, it was Wang's mother who came to deliver the face wash. Xia Chen rolled up his sleeves and said, "Mother Wang, your injury is not healed yet, you might as well rest for a few more days." ”

Wang's mother said: "It's just a skin injury, and it's out of the way." Besides, the old slave is a toiling life. Lying down for a long time, I feel back pain. ”

"That's up to you, just don't get too tired."

Mother Wang suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Third Young Master." The old slave is guilty, and the old slave hates the Xia family, so he always feels that there is no good person in the Xia family...... If, if he had known that the third young master was so kind-hearted, the old slave would have handed over those things to the third young master early in the morning! It's a pity ......"

Xia Chen pretended not to know: "What are the things?" ”

Mother Wang's face was indescribably ashamed and heartbroken: "Homestead deed." ”

Xia Chen nodded slightly: "You get up and say." ”

What Wang's mother told was probably the same as Xia Chen's thoughts. At the same time, he told Wang's mother what happened in the past.

Mother Wang bit her lip: "When I was fourteen years old, I was sold to the Xia family as a maid ring, and I was arranged to wait for Xia Qiutang's second room, that is, Xia Zhongyang and Xia Feiyang's biological mother, Aunt Xiao. One night in the summer when I was fifteen. I was taking a bath in the room, and Xia Qiutang broke in. Speaking of this, she wiped the corners of her eyes: "Afterwards, he said that he would accept me as a concubine." But until I found out that I was pregnant, I went to him, and he threw me five taels of silver and told me to go and get rid of the child. ”

For Xia Chen, this kind of bridge is not new at all, the maidservants of large families are their own private property in the eyes of those masters, and they can treat them as they want, and if something happens, not only will no one speak for them, but they will also say that they misbehave, ranging from beating and scolding, to all kinds of humiliation to death.

Wang's mother continued: "Although I secretly beat the child, but Aunt Xiao saw the clues, she beat me all over the body, I really can't stand it, but I know that if I recruit that person is Xia Qiutang, I will die even worse, so I said that person is my cousin, woo woo ......" She cried for a while: "But I never thought that Xia Qiutang heard Aunt Xiao's complaint, and let people beat my cousin badly, and wanted to sink me into the well." ”

When Xia Chen heard this, he finally understood why Mother Wang suddenly shouted such words when the two Praetorian Guards wanted to push Mother Wang into the well. And this qiē made her extremely indignant in her heart, there are only too many people in this world who are allowed to set fire to Zhou Guan, and the people are not allowed to light lamps, Xia Qiutang is one of them, he occupies Wang's mother's body but does not give her any name, and it can even be said that he has changed his face when he puts on his pants, but he does not allow Wang's mother to be good with others, he psychologically feels that it is a green hat for him.

Mother Wang sighed deeply: "Fortunately, Mrs. Xu interceded, but my cousin became a waste after his injury, and I was driven to the kitchen to do chores." Four years later, Aunt Xiao died in childbirth when Xia Feiyang was born, and Xia Qiutang died in battle the next year, and I saw the light of day again. ”

Xia Chen nodded: "Mother Wang, so you have always hated the people of the Xia family, right?" She imagined in her heart that if she were herself, she would never let go of any of the Xia family.

Mother Wang said: "At first, this hatred was deeper than the sea, but the old lady has always been very good to me, and your father and mother are also good people, and gradually I wanted to accept my fate, but they killed the old lady, and I inadvertently got the real estate deed, so I took revenge again." ”

Xia Chen looked at Wang's mother: "Hatred and love are like seeds buried in the soil, which will take root and sprout once the environment is suitable." ”

Mother Wang nodded: "The third young master is too right, but now I feel that this qiē is due to the lack of people's hearts." ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!" That's right. "A hungry person will think that two steamed buns are enough, but after eating two steamed buns, he will want a hearty meal, and when he has a hearty meal, he will want the delicacies of the mountains and the sea...... Man is an insatiable animal.

Mother Wang smiled with relief: "This time I really accepted my fate." I hurt my cousin back then, so make up for all the money, and I will serve the third young master wholeheartedly in the future. ”

Xia Chen said: "It's good to open it if you want to." Yueniang should have prepared breakfast, you go and ask your son-in-law if you come over to eat or send it to him. ”

"Yes." (To be continued) R580
