h2> Cao Tang took advantage of the lunch time to rest in the wing room with Cui Wanqing and the two sisters, and there were no outsiders in the house, he pursed his petal-like lips and asked extremely depressedly: "Cousin Qing, you say, why do I feel so strange in my heart?" ”

"Although my sister can't tell what's wrong, there are really a lot of things that can't be explained, my mother and her people are indeed gone, but why are the people who were originally serving in her room disappearing one after another?"

"Sister, I originally thought that the girls in my mother's house who treated me well on weekdays should not end well, and I wanted to wait for my mother's 100th period to pass, so I would go to my father and ask him for a favor, so that these people could come to my room to serve."

"But now, it's actually a person who has disappeared, don't you think it's strange?"

Cui Wanqing sighed secretly when she heard this: "What should come is always coming, the two uncles are really thunderous means, and they will understand the end so quickly and thoroughly, only pity Cousin Tang, a poor child who is kept in the dark." ”

She secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, but with a smile on her lips, she explained to her worried cousin: "Cousin Tang, your age is not too big, but it is not too small, there are many things that you don't know or experience, it is the age when you seem to understand and ignorant." ”

"But do you know that my cousin mine, my cousin's life is not as good as my cousin's, I lost my mother as soon as I was born, and I lost the protection of my grandfather's family when I was four or five years old.

"After the death of my own mother, a year later, the marriage was given by the decree of the current saint, and the newcomer entered the door, and the people in your third aunt's room were either matched, or returned to the Ming'an Hou Mansion, and some were sent to the Grange, and almost all of them were dismissed."

"And the situation in my eldest sister's house is similar to mine, and most of the people used in the back are carefully selected and sent by her grandfather's family, but this is also because when they sent people over, it was your third aunt who was in charge of the Xifu family, a rare kind person."

"I shouldn't tell you about these bad things, but my cousin always looks depressed when she looks at you, and she likes to guess and think, so she has to talk a lot, but you can't tell anyone else."

After she said this, she looked at Cao Tang with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, this is to make her cousin give a promise, Cao Tang is also a smart girl, and she quickly understood.

took Cui Wanqing's hand, nodded again and again, and said: "Cousin Qing, don't worry, now the person my cousin believes in and is most willing to get close to is you, today what you said has entered my sister's ears, cousin, I will never say half a word to anyone again, just let it rot in my sister's stomach." ”

Cui Wanqing smiled and wrapped Cao Tang's hand with her own hand, leaned her body slightly towards the other party, and said in a low and soft voice: "This is actually something that every family will tacitly do, the third uncle is still young, and there are only three children left under his knees, how can my grandmother and eldest uncle rest assured?" He must have found another wife for his third uncle. ”

"In this way, the people around the third aunt will be sent away as soon as possible, and it will be a matter of heart, in fact, who is still for the peace of the house, and there will be no other trouble, if the new lady is generous, the maiden family of the former lady will naturally think of sending someone over, if it is a small amount of energy?"

Cui Wanqing stopped talking at this point, just looked at Cao Tang with meaningful eyes, smiled lightly and nodded.

"Fortunately, 'my own person's life experience is tortuous enough, and I can use my own personal experience to order my cousin, but it is the easiest for her to accept and understand, I hope my cousin can listen to it, think clearly, don't drill into the horns, it's good to dig into the root of the matter." Cui Wanqing's heart is also uneasy at this time, if someone hopes that Cao Tang will never know the truth of the matter, then Cui Wanqing must be one of them!

She has a strange sense of intimacy with Cao Tang, probably because her feelings for her daughter in her previous life have been transferred to Cao Tang, so Cui Wanqing really cares about Cao Tang's feelings.

After Cao Tang listened to Cui Wanqing's such straightforward words, where was there anything he didn't understand? It's just that although she is smart, after all, she is a Miss Jiao who grew up in a honey pot, and it can almost be said that she has never experienced any wind and rain, so she really didn't expect this place at all.

She nodded suddenly in realization, and then hugged Cui Wanqing with a sad expression, and said in a choked voice: "Cousin Qing, I don't want a stepmother!" I really don't want it, I've heard people say that stepmothers are very bad, just like your mother Cousin Qing, she almost killed you, how vicious is that? ”

"Cousin Qing, Tang'er is so afraid, if my father marries a new wife and has a new child, what will my brother and I do? Sister, I am not as smart as your cousin, nor is I stronger than your cousin, my sister is afraid that she will not be able to protect herself, and she will drag down her brother."

"Silly sister, you and your sister are not in the same situation, your grandmother puts you at the top of her heart, but our family is the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt are the directors, and they are both the most fair people."

"The most important thing is that the Ming'an Hou Mansion is not separated, the third aunt who has just entered the door, she has to put her grandmother and eldest aunt first in everything, you and Cousin Xiu, the child who has lost his mother, will definitely be taken care of by his grandmother and they will be taken care of with extra care, and your brothers and sisters are very safe."

"Besides, you're not a child anymore, can't you protect yourself? I see that you compete with Le'er on weekdays, but you are very sharp, and I haven't seen you fall behind, right? You, you have to have confidence in yourself, don't just scare yourself like this. Cui Wanqing tried her best to appease Cao Tang, who was hesitant and restless.

She really hopes that in her considerate and attentive company, she will try her best to have a subtle effect, but I hope that under her dedication, Cao Tang will be like before, still the lovely and hearty daughter of the Hou Mansion.

Because Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang, the two cousins, are both in the filial piety period, Meng Yuele, who has always been lively and active, has also been greatly influenced by their sisters, and has become much more restrained and careful, she doesn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Cao Tang, and she is particularly friendly to Cao Tang.

It's as if Cao Tang has suddenly changed from a flesh-and-blood person to a porcelain doll made of crystal, which can't be touched, can't be light, can't be heavy, lest he be afraid that if he is still the same as usual, he will break Cao Tang

It's only been four days since she went to school, and Meng Yuele has already given Cao Tang three things she likes, Cao Tang can see that this girl who used to quarrel with herself all day long and compete for Cui Wanqing is worried about herself and wants to make herself happy.

Cui Wanqing watched Meng Yuele and Cao Tang get along from the sidelines, and saw that the two of them were affected by each other, and she still felt quite unexpected in her heart, but since they were both developing on the good side, Cui Wanqing was optimistic.

I only hope that with the care of so many good friends, Cao Tang can quickly get out of the pain of losing his mother.

Thinking of this, Cui Wanqing, who felt that the atmosphere was a little sad and depressed, had an idea and changed the topic: "Cousin, did you listen to what they said?" Next month, the double academy meeting of Pengfei Academy and Jinghui Academy will begin, and it seems that it will be very lively. ”

Cao Tang knows more about this than Cui Wanqing, her third brother won the first place in painting art last year, and he gave the Ming Anhou Mansion a big face and made himself famous, which is Cao Tang's capital that he showed off for a whole year last year.

Her interest was really raised by this matter, and she saw Cao Tang smile and said: "Yes, it is indeed very lively, not only the students of the two colleges, but also the famous scribes, scholars, and even officials in the capital will come to Pengfei Academy to watch the game, they have to buy tickets if they want to enter the hospital to watch the game. ”

Hearing Cao Tang talk about Cao Xiu in his mouth, Cui Wanqing's eyes flashed the polite figure of Cousin Xiu, thinking of his gentle words and concerned eyes, Cui Wanqing's heart unconsciously felt a little cold.

Cao Xiu is a rare smart person, even Cao Tang thinks something strange, can he not notice it? I'm afraid I won't go unchecked in private.

Thinking that one day, Cao Xiu would know about it, Cui Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little desolate, they were originally good cousins, but they couldn't avoid going to the step of seeing each other, Cao Xiu is a young sister who loves it, and probably won't tell Cao Tang the truth, but

"Ugh." Cui Wanqing looked at Cao Tang, who was infinitely dependent on herself, and asked herself secretly: "Even if Cousin Tang doesn't know anything, can I take it for granted and enjoy her dependence and unconditional trust in myself?" Is this self-deception? ”

Cui Wanqing shook her head gently, only to feel that it was a mess of hemp rope in her heart.

In her previous life, she acted with great openness and closure, and when she was decided, she rarely had such a subtle and tactful attitude, this chaotic mentality really made people feel unhappy.

"Cousin Qing, good cousin, what are you thinking? I talk to you, do you hear me? Cao Tang was originally saying that the two sisters would personally go to help Cao Xiu when the time came, but after finishing speaking, they didn't see Cui Wanqing agree, so they couldn't help but sit up straight and shake Cui Wanqing, who was running away, to ask for a result.

Cui Wanqing was dizzy by her for a while, and hurriedly pulled her and said, "Don't make trouble, you treat me as Le'er?" Pulling people to shake like this, cousin can't stand this, aren't you just going to cheer for cousin Xiu? It's just to go, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of people at that time, and we may not be able to squeeze in front of us. ”R1152
