Waiting for the Tao girl to serve a fragrant cup of tea, Han Xiyi took it and took a sip, and then pondered: "You guys, it's time to get married." Do you have the right person in mind? Speak up, and I'll plan for you. You have served me all these years, without merit and with hard work. When you get married, I ask my mother to prepare a decent dowry for you, so that you can marry decently. ”

Tao Nuhua's face was pale, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Shizunu was much calmer, but she also smiled reluctantly.

Han Xiyi didn't urge, just looked at them.

Jing Nu calmed down first, first stepped forward to squat down at Han Xiyi to salute, then got up and greeted him, "Thank you, uncle." The servant wants to marry a small family, not seeking great wealth, only seeking abundant food and clothing, the husband is sincere and benevolent, and the in-laws are kind and merciful. If the uncle is willing to bother to promote, the servant is grateful. ”

Han Xiyi smiled: "You said it in such detail, is there already a candidate?" ”

The quiet girl lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

Han Xiyi said: "I can probably guess one or two." - But Zhao Zhihe? ”

Jingnu was silent, but she didn't deny it.

Han Xiyi knew that he had guessed correctly.

The Zhao family is a small merchant who has been buying and selling goods from the Han family for a long time. Han Xiyi takes a fancy to their honest old customers, and is willing to make friends, always giving the best price. In the first month of last year, Zhao Zhihe came to visit Han's house, and he personally kept him for wine and rice. It was that time that Jingnu met Zhao Zhihe. Zhao Zhihe was even more shocked by the appearance of the quiet girl.

Han Xiyi recalled the situation and said with a smile: "This matter is on me. ”

Jingnu thanked her again, and Fang stepped aside.

The Tao Girl was overwhelmed by this situation. Seeing Han Xiyi looking at her, she stammered, "Son...... Servant ......"

After talking for a long time, I didn't say a complete sentence. Tears kept rolling down.

Han Xiyi smiled and said, "What's wrong?" The daughter's family will always marry when she grows up. Even my own sister can't stay in the Han family for a lifetime. I don't have any other ability, I can still find a good family for you. You think about it slowly, and then tell me when you're ready. ”

Tao Nu choked up and said, "The maid doesn't want to leave the Han family. Uncle must marry his son, and his son ...... The servant will marry the steward's entourage beside the uncle. ”

Han Xiyi's heart moved. Said: "The steward's retinue beside me? Sho? Although that guy is good-looking, it's not enough to match my pottery girl. Think about it again. ”

The Tao girl nodded nonsense and said, "Yes." ”

Jingnu looked at Tao Nu sympathetically. Sighed to himself.

Because he pulled the Tao girl to retire, he said, "The water is ready, uncle, please bathe." ”

Han Xiyi nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Jingnu pulled the Tao girl back to the room. Enter the house and close the door. He sat down on the bed, held his hand and said, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Tao Nu refused to go out, thinking that even if she couldn't marry the uncle, she would be able to see him often if she married the steward entourage around him, which was really stupid and stupid. The uncle must have seen her thoughts, but refused to fulfill her.

Tao Nu couldn't hold back anymore and cried: "I don't want to marry!" ”

Jing Nu whispered, "Don't talk nonsense! Even if it's a kiss. There is no guarantee of change. Didn't the eldest young master and the eldest girl Xie quit their relationship! There is also Miss Guo, who has also withdrawn several times. You and I are just maids. The wife and uncle never promised us, why did they stay in the Han family? ”

reminded Tao Nu with a word, and said hatefully: "It's all because of Miss Guo!" So intolerable! ”

Jingnu said: "You are talking nonsense again. Uncle's idea, what's the matter with Miss Guo? ”

Tao Nu said: "Don't pretend to be confused with me!" If it weren't for Miss Guo, would Uncle have sent us? When he asked the Xie family to marry a few years ago, why didn't he hurry to marry us? This time, I haven't come to the door to ask for relatives, so I'll clean up the people around me first. ”

Jingnu was silent after hearing this.

She also heard something about Miss Guo.

She and Tao Nu were originally chosen by Mrs. Han for the eldest young master, if it weren't for Miss Guo, the eldest young master would not have arranged for them to marry, and they might be able to stay.

I heard the Tao girl cry again: "I'd rather die than go out." ”

Jingnu said: "You make such a fuss, what does the uncle think?" It doesn't matter if you die, the uncle will be talked about and ruin his innocence. He didn't do anything to us, you are looking for death and life, just like he hurt us. Isn't he wronged? ”

Tao Nu was speechless, so she had to cry bitterly, hating and dumb in her heart.

Jingnu was touched by her, and she also cried quietly.

She doesn't have a deep love for her uncle. However, she knew him best, and he knew his mind as soon as he said it just now. She simply followed him and sought a safe and stable future for herself, so as not to annoy him and break her bowels in vain.

Not to mention that the second daughter was soft in the house, but Han Xiyi, after a hurried bath, wore a soft and white middle coat, with long hair like ink, and rubbed the voice of the great sage under the lamp.

Will Miss Guo like it?

He imagined the appearance of sitting dumbly in front of the piano and playing, and his heart was tender like water. Suddenly, I felt that the image was too ethereal. After a little thought, spread out the pen and paper paint, and make a portrait.

What kind of painting should she make?

When I first saw her decisiveness in the Xie family?

It's not good, she was too sad at that time, for Jiang Minghui.

New to the Splendid Hall of Glory and proud of the style?

Not good, at that time she was resolute and hateful.

Silence in prison?

It's not good, at that time she seemed to be out of the red dust, silent.

……

The scenes of acquaintance and contact with her gradually emerged in my mind, and finally, it was fixed when I was boating with her on Tianhu:

I remember that day she ate stinky tofu and drank red wine.

I remember she said to him, "There is no good scenery around me, because I don't know how to cherish it." ”

I still remember her saying, "I don't feel it when I have it, and I regret it when I lose it." ”

I remember that I replied at the time, "Everything has a fate, and you can't force it." ”

The corners of his mouth tuckled, and he thought, "We are also destined." I'm not going to let go this time! If I lose you, there will be no hope in this life, and I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

After thinking about it, he leaned over and splashed ink.

It was only painted at the end of the day: at sunset, a canopy boat passed through the lotus, and a young girl sat on the bow of the boat, quietly staring at the endless lotus leaves and lotus, not knowing what to think.

He looked at it for a while, and he couldn't finish it.

So, he continued to paint.

This time, the girl is playing the piano.

The background of the picture is the courtyard of the Guo family in Green Bay Village.

Qing sat dumbly in front of the window, revealing only his upper body.

Finish painting near dawn.

Han Xiyi looked at the girl in the painting, and his heart was infinitely full.

He thought, in the future, if he thinks about it, he will draw it

When she has drawn all her forms, will you be able to welcome her into the door?

With tenderness, he began to wash.

Later, I will go to Yan's house to congratulate him.
