Chapter 19: You Are Not a Slave

Shao Yuanwai put down the letter with a wry smile: "This afterlife is really whimsical. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info, it's not difficult to do things, just give him some face. ”

Just now, a subordinate brought a letter, saying that Xiao Jing hurriedly delivered it to the door. Shao Yuanwai thought it was something urgent, but when he opened it, the content of the letter made people cry and laugh.

He squinted at the pergola in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking; After a while, he got up and paced around the room a few times, then walked back to the table and picked up the teacup, but he didn't mean to drink tea.

After pondering for a long time, Shao Yuanwai put down the cup. He handed the letter to the butler on the side, and said lightly, "Do as it says." ”

The housekeeper took the letter with both hands and said, "Master, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the shopkeeper of the Fuyuan asked someone to ask if he wants to send some ......silver to the son in the name of filial piety."

"It's just nonsense, this Sun Erhu is too disagreeable, how do you know how to pat on the back!" Shao Yuanwai blew his beard and glared: "Did I say that he sent money?" Last time, I didn't say hello to the old man and gave so much money to the stinky boy, which was enough for him to use for half a year! Send it again this time? Do you want him to liven up his mind and go to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble again? ”

The housekeeper smiled and said: "Naturally, the master didn't say it, and this is also because the people below feel sorry for the son, so they will make their own opinions." ”

Shao Yuanwai snorted: "If you want me to say, there is no old man in their eyes!" Oh, isn't his Sun Erhu a layman who eats fasting and recites Buddha? The longevity nunnery in the town is being built on the tuyere, and it is so cold in winter that it is terrible, why didn't I see him in charge and send some charcoal fire or something? ”

The butler said with understanding: "Yes, sir! ”

After Shen Shi, Xiao Jing finally returned home. As soon as he entered the door, Shao Ning, who was playing with Xiaoyuan, greeted him. The two entered the east wing mysteriously, leaving Xiao Yuan, who was forced to play alone, pouting and playing in the snow in the yard.

Xiao Jing took the paper handed by Shao Ning and read it with his head down, his brows tightened tighter and tighter: "Is that all?" ”

Shao Ning spread his hands: "It's not easy." I ran from Puhua Town to the capital alone, and I wrote down so much by asking around along the way. I'm not a thousand-handed, why don't you try? ”

Xiao Jing lowered his head and thought about it, and then said, "It's a little thin for you to go alone." In this way, tomorrow I will let the little ......"

Before he finished speaking, a green light appeared in Shao Ning's eyes, showing his true colors as a jackal.

Xiao Jing saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Let Xiaoyuan go with you." ”

Shao Ning: "......"

Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "It's still not appropriate." Although Xiaoyuan is clever, it is a pity that he is too young to help. You can go home casually and find a few idle family members to go with you, anyway, there are too many dogs who are willing to follow you. By the way, I also inquired about it today, your father is going back to the capital tonight, and you can swagger over. ”

Shao Ning: "......"

After listening to such a chatter, Shao Ning was about to lose confidence in life. He casually waved his hand and walked out of the room, probably not going to talk to anyone for a while.

Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Even if you arrange for Xiaoya to go with you, will the girl be willing? Don't be annoyed by you along the way!

Speaking of Xiaoya...... What the hell is going on with her?

Xiao Jing and Xiaoyuan have been together for a long time, and they have naturally talked about a lot of things. However, at that time, Xiaoyuan and his sister were separated, and Xiao Jing was afraid that he would be sad, so he never mentioned his family affairs.

Even if Xiaoyuan takes the initiative to talk about it, he, an eight- or nine-year-old child, has no impression of many things, and it is inevitable that he will be upside down when he says it, which makes people confused.

The night is getting darker. Xiao Jing, who had been working hard, just wanted to go out of the room to take a breath, when he heard a gentle knock on the door. Needless to say, Dong Xiaoya must be here.

The moment the door was opened, Xiao Jing's gaze quickly swept over Miss Xiaoya's hand, and her eyes were a little more clear.

The delicate Dong Xiaoya was standing in front of the door. She whispered "Childe" and said "Childe" again, and prepared to bend down to get the basin of water on the ground.

Xiao Jing's heart was a little sour.

On the first night of moving into this courtyard, Miss Xiaoya took the initiative to serve him to wash. At that time, he was writing hard to the most critical place. The girl shouted crisply outside, and his train of thought was interrupted in an instant; In a hurry, a brainless angry sentence rushed out of his mouth: "What are you shouting?" Come back in an hour, knock on the door and come in! ”

An hour later, Dong Xiaoya brought the re-boiled water and knocked on the door gently. Since then, Xiao Ya has brought the basin to the door and put it down, and waited for the door to open before putting it up.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. As soon as she bent down, Xiao Jing, who was moving very fast, had already put the basin in her hand in one go, and strode towards the house.

Dong Xiaoya was a little stunned and froze in place. It wasn't until a cold wind blew straight into the room that she woke up and bit her lip and walked into the room and closed the door.

Xiao Jing put the basin away and sat on the couch again. He looked at Dong Xiaoya, who didn't say a word, and said slowly: "I shouldn't have yelled at you last time, I'm sorry." ”

Dong Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and then thought of what Xiao Jing was referring to. She shook her head vigorously and said softly: "Don't complain about the son, it's the slave family who is not thoughtful and disturbs the son's Yaxing." ”

Xiao Jing shook his head, and his deep gaze stared at the girl's soft eyes: "Your hands are inconvenient, don't hold on." Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to do any work, and the housework is left to me and Shao Ning, you just have to coax Xiaoyuan. When the hands are raised, when will we talk about it. ”

Dong Xiaoya quietly retracted her hand. However, in the dim light, the obvious swelling at the edge of her palm, as well as a few whitish vesicles, could still be seen. If it weren't for several burns, how could this pair of slender white and greasy soft wattles become like this?

"That's not going to happen." Miss Xiaoya politely declined the other party's kindness: "The son has something big to do, and the slave family should take care of the family." ”

Xiao Jing got up and walked closer to her, and sighed: "You are talking about slaves in your mouth, but you think of yourself as a slave in your heart, yes or no?" ”

He looked at the delicate face and said softly, "The Dong family should not be a small family. Even if it is, no one is born a slave. ”

Dong Xiaoya's body shook, and then raised her head suddenly. No one in her life had ever said anything like that to her.

Xiao Jing said: "To be honest, I don't think it's any 'kindness' to save you and Xiaoyuan." If anyone can turn a blind eye to such evil deeds, then he is no longer worthy to be called a 'man'. I don't think that a person can be called a benefactor by others just by keeping the bottom line of being a human being! ”

He stared into the girl's eyes and said word by word: "Xiaoyuan is like my own brother, so you are also my family and my partner!" ”
