Chapter 12: Fighting
Grandmother rewarded the maid, Xu Cancan naturally didn't dare to ignore the lift, so he had to smile and thank him.
Xu Yilian was fine, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned with a smile; Xu Yitong was obviously unhappy, pouting with a straight face, and looking angry; And the youngest Xu Yilan is held by the nurse, with big eyes and black eyes, just looking left and right!
The family had dinner in Mrs. Xu's hall and then dispersed with the eldest lady.
Xu Cancan naturally stayed with the old lady with Xiaoxiang and the newly harvested Biyun.
Mrs. Xu didn't like her second son and daughter-in-law, nor did she like Xu Cancan's granddaughter, and after acting in the play of Zuci and Sun Xiao in public, she excused herself to be tired and instructed Biyun: "Take the second girl to the West Wing!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, before Biyun could answer, the voice of her mother-in-law greeting Xu Tinghe came from the courtyard.
After Xu Shunhe came in, he saluted his mother first, and then sat down on his mother's side.
Mrs. Xu especially doted on this eldest son, and while shouting for warmth, she asked the maids to hand Xu Tinghe water and wipe her face with a towel to make tea, and it took a while to stop.
After Xu Tinghe took a sip of the cup, Xu Cancan stepped forward to salute.
Xu Tinghe has changed into a homely robe, although he is two years older than Xu Cancan's father Xu Shunhe, but he has a jade face and a long body, and he looks several years younger than Xu Shunhe, he is really a middle-aged handsome uncle.
Xu Cancan calculated in his heart, only to realize that his uncle was actually only thirty-five years old, and he should have been quite young in his previous life!
Xu Tinghe looked at his beautiful niece whose eyebrows and eyes looked a little like his own, and he was very satisfied, feeling that his genetics were really good, and because he was good-looking, he got the blue eyes of the saint and his father-in-law; The niece is so beautiful, it's really unreasonable not to make good use of it.
He had the heart to try the depth of this niece, and said with a smile: "Cancan, my Liang Dynasty is based on filial piety, your grandmother is old and frail, your father needs to guard the ancestral tomb in Wanzhou, and you have to do your filial piety for your father when you are in the capital." Your marriage with the Wang family, your grandmother has ordered your father to retire! ”
After speaking, the smile on his face deepened, and the peach blossom eyes that were very similar to Xu Cancan stared at Xu Cancan, watching her reaction.
In order to force his younger brother to quit Cancan's family affairs, he took a lot of effort from the boss, and he was simply soft and hard and full of wisdom, which made his younger brother succumb!
Although Xu Cancan doesn't like to worry about it, she also knows that since she left Wanzhou, her fate has begun to change, and if she wants to go back, I'm afraid it will not be easy. She had a feeling of pain in her heart, not that she was reluctant to give up Wang Erlang, who had only met once, but that she knew that the days of being the master of the small family she wanted had come to naught.
She tried her best to stabilize herself, took a deep breath, bowed her head and said, "The niece is all arranged by my uncle. ”
Although Xu Tinghe was not very satisfied, he thought that Xu Cancan had always been pampered by his younger brother and sister in the palm of his hand, and it was normal for some etiquette to be insufficient, so he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Cancan, you have worked hard all the way, let the maid wait to rest!" ”
When he spoke, Mrs. Xu stared at him with good eyes, her eyes were full of kindness and love, and her hand was still caressing Xu Tinghe's back.
Seeing this, Xu Cancan thought of his father's treatment of him, his nose was sore, his eyes were a little wet, and he hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and retreated.
Biyun led Xu Cancan to the West Wing.
Xiao Xiang was a little shocked today, trembling and following closely, afraid of getting lost in this deep mansion compound.
Xu Sen's mother is Xu Han's companion, in charge of the inner courtyard, and at this time she is directing the two daughters-in-law and a little maid to tidy up the room and pack Xu Cancan's luggage. Seeing Xu Cancan coming, she saluted Xu Cancan with a subtle smile on her face: "Say hello to the second girl!" ”
Xu Cancan saw that Xu Sen's mother was wearing a purple and red satin gown, with two gold beads hanging on her ears, and guessed that it must be a mother with some face, she was self-aware, and knew that in front of Xu Han's family, these housekeeper mothers must have more face than her niece from the countryside, so she didn't dare to slack off, took out a few purses with silver ingots, and handed them over one by one with a smile, and the purse for Xu Sen's mother was a little richer than the others.
Xu Sen's mother simply took the purse, gave Xu Cancan a salute, and said, "Second Miss Xie." The wife instructed the second girl to find a slave if she had anything. ”
Xu Cancan agreed with a smile.
Xu Sen's mother led her mother-in-law and maid away.
Xiao Xiang didn't know what to do, so she went to make the bed, even though it was already arranged.
Biyun gave Xu Cancan a salute, and the little round face smiled affectionately: "Say hello to the girl!" Since the old lady gave the slave to the girl, Biyun should serve the girl with all her heart. ”
Xu Cancan hurriedly pulled her up, and said with a smile: "Sister Biyun, you follow me, this is also fate, I will treat you as my own!" She took out a pair of red gold plum blossom earrings prepared in advance from her sleeve pocket and handed them to Biyun: "Don't dislike it, wear it and play!" ”
Biyun squatted with a happy face: "Miss Xie!" ”
She immediately removed the silver earrings from her ears and replaced them with red gold plum blossom earrings.
Biyu went to the kitchen to ask for water for bathing, and only Xu Cancan and Xiaoxiang were left in the room.
Xu Cancan looked at the West Wing.
The west wing is a structure of two rooms, one bright and one dark.
There is a bamboo couch against the south wall in the bright room, a red lacquered kang table is placed in the middle of the bamboo couch, and two buckets are hung on the east and west walls, depicting nothing more than Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum and the like.
The dark room is the bedroom. Although it was in Xu's Mansion, this room was not as good as the bedroom she had in Luhe Town, it was just a stepping bed, a wardrobe, a dresser and a round stool, and the room seemed a little empty.
Xu Cancan stood quietly in front of the window covered with a faded light purple cicada wing veil.
She knows that she is two pounds, if she is really sent to the palace by her uncle, she can only desperately hide herself to protect herself, as for the palace fight or something, she can't fart, if she wants to fight, she will only become cannon fodder!
Xu Cancan's mind was in a mess, and at this time, she was still thinking: That Fu Yuchen was born so well, with a small goose egg face, slender and dense eyebrows, good-looking Danfeng eyes, a tall nose, pink Yangyue lips, and that tall and thin figure - there is such a beautiful boy in the world, if she were the emperor, she would definitely snatch him into the palace, and she would be satisfied with it every day......
After being obscene with Fu Yuchen for a while, Xu Cancan finally became more comfortable. She rubbed her face with her hands, and her voice was full of exhaustion: "Alas, my face is stiff with a smile." ”
She walked to the dressing table, sat on the round stool painted with rough dark red paint, and looked at herself as beautiful and delicate as a flower in the mirror, and felt more comfortable - her first love in her previous life was snatched away by a beautiful and fashionable girl, so she dreamed of becoming a great beauty, but she didn't expect it to come true in this life.
After experiencing this psychological process, Xu Cancan feels that he is still very profitable in this life!
Xiaoxiang helped Xu Cancan untie her hair bun and comb her long hair, and said distressedly: "Girl, I don't dare to come out when I get here, let alone you, girl, how comfortable we are at home......
After a while, Xu Cancan explained: "Xiaoxiang, you must be cautious in your words and deeds here, including in front of Biyun, don't say a word!" ”
Xiaoxiang agreed.
Xu Cancan's body was immersed in the bath, and only his head was exposed.
Xiao Xiang wanted to come forward and wait for Xu Cancan to take a bath, but she had never seen anything like fragrant pancreas, linen bath towels, rose juice and other objects before, so she only smacked her tongue at this time. Biyun saw that she couldn't do it, so she rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to wait.
The old lady would not be careful enough to prepare fragrant pancreas, burlap bath towels, rose scented juice and other bathing items for her granddaughter, these are all sets that Biyun quietly took over that she had not used. She scooped up water to help Xu Cancan wash her hair while thinking about her thoughts.
Biyun was quick with his hands and feet, and after washing it twice with soaphorn water, he poured some rose juice and rubbed it on Xu Cancan's hair, and then the long black and thick hair was coiled up and wrapped in a cloth towel, which helped Xu Cancan scrub his body.
Late at night, Biyun took her own bed and slept on the bamboo couch in the bright room, and Xiaoxiang slept on the footrest in front of Xu Cancan's bed, and seemed to be asleep.
The room was quiet, except for the rustle of pine trees outside the window.
There is only a thin layer of old mattresses on the bed, which is naturally very board, so that Xu Cancan, who is used to sleeping on thick mattresses, is very unaccustomed to it, she lies on the bed, closes her eyes and thinks about how to make the bed soft tomorrow. Xu Cancan's requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation are not high, only the bed, which must be clean, warm and comfortable!
Thinking about it day and night, Xu Cancan saw Fu Yushen in the dream, and his big eyes disappeared with a smile, and it became a slit. When he was woken up by Biyun, Xu Cancan closed his eyes and muttered: "Stop screaming, I want to continue dreaming......"
