Chapter 431: The Choice (Addition to Xiao Xixi)
Zhou Shaojin didn't know how long she had been standing in the official room, until a gust of wind blew, blowing her body cold, she came back to her senses, slowly squatted by the door of the official room, and hugged herself tightly with both hands.
But even so, she still felt cold.
Tears slowly fell, dripping onto the cyan stone bricks, and swam into a small pool of water.
She wanted to go home.
Leave that behind and go home.
But where is her home?
Yuqian Hutong was given to her by Uncle Chi, although her father in Baoding Mansion treated her dearly and knew that she liked Uncle Chi, I am afraid that he would not spare her, right?
Looking for my sister?
She thought of Zhou Chujin hugging Brother Guan.
No way!
She couldn't bother her sister anymore, and her sister finally lived a peaceful and comfortable life.
Zhou Shaojin looked at the water on the bluestone brick stupidly.
The voice of the little maid came from outside: "Haven't found the second cousin yet?" ”
The maids in the family will call her "Second Miss", and only the maids in Chengfu will call her "Second Cousin".
Zhou Shaojin subconsciously hid in the room where the toilet was placed.
The incense burner of the lily incense gave her a headache.
There was a cautious shout from the little maid outside: "Miss Second Cousin! Miss Second Table! ”
"I'm fine!" Zhou Shaojin replied, his voice a little buzzing, "My stomach hurts a little!" I'll be back right away. ”
The little maid smiled and said yes and retreated.
Silence returned outside.
Only then did Zhou Shaojin feel that his face was full of tears.
If you go out like this, everyone will definitely know that she cried, right?
She pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her face.
Thinking of what Mrs. Guo said, I felt angry in my heart.
In her previous life, Mrs. Guo also looked at her condescendingly, as if she was a useless person.
And Yuan's. always felt like she had lost Yuan's face.
Speaking of which, I just think she is weak and can be bullied.
Why should she let them rub them flat and round!
Zhou Shaojin was not convinced.
She did wrong in her previous life, can she continue to be wrong in this life?
The Bodhisattva gave her the opportunity to be reborn, that is, she would continue to follow the old path of her previous life in a daze!
Even if you cry, you can't cry at this time!
Even if it is a disgrace, you can't lose face on such an occasion!
Zhou Shaojin raised his voice slightly and said, "Is there anyone else outside?" ”
The little maid who promised just now replied: "Slave maid bamboo rain." Just outside the door! ”
Zhou Shaojin said: "Please quietly go and call Mama Shang who came into the house with me." I'm looking for her urgently. ”
When a woman is a guest at someone else's house, something unexpected may happen, such as a sudden menstrual event. It was dyed on clothes or something...... The little maid didn't doubt it, so she hurriedly called Mama Shang over.
Mama Shang was originally a human spirit among the human spirits, and she stuffed the little maid with a few copper coins in the door of the official room and sent people away, so she shouted "Second Miss" in a low voice. "There's no one outside!" ”
Zhou Shaojin walked out of the room.
Mama Shang looked at her slightly red and swollen eyes and was startled.
Zhou Shaojin was no longer polite to her. Said: "You think of a way, others can see that I have cried." ”
Mama Shang promised repeatedly, thinking that it was fortunate that this was the official room and there was cold water. put a veil on her eyes, and she went to call the Spring Festival Gala again, and the two quietly helped her clean her face again. I combed my hair and put on light makeup. Except that his eyes were a little red, he couldn't tell if he had cried.
Zhou Shaojin had a lot of air in her head, and she had been letting them smear it on her face, and it was really until Mama Shang reminded her in a low voice, so she took a deep breath, sat down on the beauty in the veranda outside the official room, looked at the lush boxwood trees and carefully thought about Mrs. Guo's words.
What the old lady said actually made a lot of sense.
It's not groundless, it's not scornful or dismissive.
If she really marries into the Cheng family, how to face Cheng Jiashan is a problem, if she is not careful, Cheng Jiashan said that she would not think that Uncle Chi robbed her...... After all, Uncle Chi was very good to her before, if she and Uncle Chi didn't have anything, everyone wouldn't think about it, once she married Uncle Chi, she could say that there was nothing with a nose and eyes, not to mention that there really was!
Zhou Shaojin wrung the handkerchief in his hand.
But what if she just listened to Mrs. Guo's words and gave up?
She thought of Cheng Chi's gentle smile, warm embrace, and the gentleness on her face when she whispered to coax her...... Her heart ached so much that she couldn't help herself, and she stood up suddenly.
No, no, no!
She couldn't give up Uncle Chi.
In this world, there is no one who can compare to Uncle Chi in her heart.
She wanted to be with her.
Even if she will be blamed, embarrassed, and abused in the future, she will be with Uncle Chi.
Zhou Shaojin took a few steps forward with some eagerness and stopped.
But in case...... Uncle Chi regretted it?
Sometimes imagining is one thing, and actually facing it is another.
She is useless, she can neither help Uncle Chi make achievements, nor help Uncle Chi entertain relatives, after a long time, what if Uncle Chi regrets it?
Zhou Shaojin faintly felt that he might not be able to live!
It's not because of Uncle Chi's change of heart, but herself, she really can't be loved.
She thought of the long, numb days in the Grange in Daxing in her previous life.
She can keep such days, with Uncle Chi's good memories, why can't she keep it?
The thought flashed, and there was a "boom" in her head, like thunder.
A long time ago, when she couldn't ask for it, she had thought so.
As long as he has a wisp of tenderness, as long as he looks back for a moment...... How did you get it, but forget the original insistence?
People are really insatiable!
Zhou Shaojin slowly sat on the beauty seat again.
The heart gradually became clear.
As Mrs. Guo said, Uncle Chi even instigated the Yuan family to divide the clan for her sake.
There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.
If this matter is known to the Yuan family, how will Uncle Chi raise his head and behave in the future!
But if Uncle Chi was scolded and blamed by everyone, she gave up cowardly. He was left alone to face the condemnation of the world...... Like a betrayal...... I'm afraid this makes Uncle Chi sad more than the world's scolding and accusations, right?
In her previous life, didn't she experience such a thing?
When Yuan scolded her, when the servants in Jiuru Lane were all pointing at her...... She hated Cheng Xu...... At that time, there was only monstrous hatred...... At this time, I am afraid that it is more of a grudge against him who left himself alone......
Uncle Chi treats her so well, she is a person who she doesn't even think is enough on the tip of her heart, how can she hurt him because she is afraid? How can he be blamed just because he will be spurned by the world?
Zhou Shaojin brushed the handkerchief in his hand and straightened his sideburns. Then he stood up. smiled at Mama Shang and the Spring Festival Gala, who were standing not far away and looking at her worriedly: "Let's go, let's go to the flower hall, don't let them wait for me!" ”
The two exchanged glances quickly.
The second lady who withered like a flower about to wither just now. How can you suddenly radiant, like a victorious general, proud and reserved?
They were puzzled.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't care about that much.
She hurried into the flower hall.
The congregation is singing to the point.
But her arrival still attracted everyone's attention.
Zhou Chujin smiled and motioned for her sister to sit next to her.
Old Madam Guo was slightly stunned.
Zhou Shaojin's eyes are still a little red, if you pay attention, it is not difficult to find that she has cried. But her demeanor was calm and calm. There is a kind of calm and resoluteness in confidence, and she is even more resolute than before.
If it is a beautiful but mediocre lady picture. Suddenly I was eyed by a clever painter, and suddenly I had a soul.
Mrs. Guo's heart was awe-inspiring.
Fang Xuan already frowned unhappily.
Zhou Shaojin treated it indifferently, walked to Zhou Chujin's side with a smile, and said a few words to her in a low voice. He got up and walked towards Mrs. Guo.
Old Madam Guo smiled slightly, but her eyes were extremely sharp.
Zhou Shaojin was beating drums in his heart, and his hands and feet were a little weak.
But she knew. If she really marries Cheng Chi, no. If her relationship with Cheng Chi was known, she would have a ten, hundred, or even a thousand times sharper gaze in front of her than Old Madam Guo...... She couldn't back down.
And it is by no means to back down.
As soon as she flinched, she and Uncle Chi were finished!
Zhou Shaojin's hand hidden in her sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, but her smile was still quiet and gentle.
"Old lady," she stopped in front of Luohan's bed, letting Fang Xuan look at her in confusion, "I have something to talk to you about alone......
Was it decided so quickly?
Old Madam Guo was secretly surprised in her heart.
Do you choose to leave Shiro or do you choose to continue with Shiro?
Old Madam Guo didn't know that her own breathing had become heavy.
She smiled and was helped up by Fang Xuan.
And all the people looked at it.
The two singers didn't know what was happening, and stopped blankly.
Mrs. Guo smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, you keep singing." Shao Jin has something to tell me. ”
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhou Shaojin became the focus of everyone.
It made her uncomfortable.
But she kept her smile alive.
Old Madam Guo stared at her deeply for a few breaths, then turned around and walked out of the flower hall.
Fang Xuan hurriedly followed.
Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "You go to the play!" I'll call the maid if there's something. ”
Fang Xuan let out an "oh" and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Shaojin before leaving.
Zhou Shaojin helped Mrs. Guo as before, as if nothing had happened, and the two walked unhurriedly towards the big locust tree in the courtyard.
Mrs. Guo was silent.
Zhou Shaojin chose to speak first.
She said: "Old lady, I have thought carefully about what you just said, you are right...... "She is in love with Uncle Chi!" Zhou Shaojin's face was slightly red. In this case, she didn't have the face to say it in front of Mrs. Guo. "But I still want to try!"
"Try it!" Old Madam Guo stopped, looked at her and looked at her with sharper eyes, "What a child's talk!" Can a person who has been killed come back to life? Can a person who is spurned by the world still be an upright person? Try it! Do you know what happens when you try......"
"I know!" Zhou Shaojin said softly, "But I still want to try - this matter is not Uncle Chi's fault alone," she lowered her eyelids, "If I refuse Uncle Chi, how can Uncle Chi come to this point." Since I'm also at fault, I should be with Uncle Chi...... No matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, I want to ...... with Uncle Chi."
As she spoke, she knelt in front of Old Man Guo and said seriously: "Old lady, please fulfill me!" ”
