Chapter 498: Sincerity
He Wan'er looked at Xiao Jing and turned her gaze away, her eyes were very fluttering.
Looking at her uneasy appearance of subconsciously fiddling with the corners of her clothes, Xiao Jingqi said, "Isn't she still having anything to tell me?" β
He Wan'er glanced at him again, her expression a little weird; Soon, she lowered her head and smiled lightly, and said, "My mother only said thank you, Brother Jing, and the rest is her and Wan'er's business." β
Xiao Jing scratched his head and said, "That's it." β
On the side, the enthusiastic shop poured tea for the new customers who came in the dust.
He Wan'er thanked her, then sat down and picked up the teacup.
From this angle, Xiao Jing could only see half of her side face.
Therefore, he didn't notice Wan'er's strange expression of relief but a little disappointed:
"Mother's Wan'er has become one in a million lovely people...... What's even more rare is that although you grew up in the workshop, you are still an innocent and pure good girl, and you don't have the slightest chance of being kind to anyone...... A woman like you, who is as beautiful as a white wall but is transparent and immaculate, I am afraid that I will not find a few in the whole world. β
However, my mother wants you to remember one thing at all times: this world is extremely sinister, and you can treat people with sincerity all the time, but there are not many people who are really worth trusting...... As the saying goes, people don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger harms people's hearts, even if you just want to live your life normally, there are countless people who will covet you, use you, and approach you with different purposes. β
"Mother can't always be by your side, and you have to live by yourself in the future. Although the things that my mother brought today are enough for you to live this life richly, but this is not enough, my mother is really afraid that you will be bullied, cheated, and fall into the trap of others, and you will not be able to finish this life like an ordinary person. β
"Child, remember my mother's words: there is only one person you can fully trust and rely on at the moment, and that is Xiao Langjun, that is, your brother Jing! When I first knew about this, my mother thought that he was just coveting your appearance like others, but after observing it for a long time, my mother found that he really loved and doted on you, just like treating you as a sister. β
"The human heart is extremely difficult to fathom, and there must be very few people who can treat you sincerely in this life. It is a blessing to meet such a person in several lifetimes...... With him, you won't be left alone. Mother doesn't know how Wan'er sees him, if you treat him as a brother, then it's like a sister staying by his side, caring for him, taking care of him, and living peacefully under his wing. β
"If Wan'er wants to marry someone in the future, then unless you are sure that you have completely seen that person, or Xiao Langjun will check for you, don't talk about marriage easily. However, the person you want to marry is your brother Jing...... Then it's up to you, and your mother won't ask. β
"Mother and your father were originally ordinary people, and he was the son-in-law of the Xia family, and he founded a career that attracted the attention of the world from scratch, even if you became a concubine, it would not be humiliating. I heard that the two young ladies of the Xia family are very good to Wan'er, and you won't be bullied even if you pass, this should be a good relationship. Only in this way can the mother be completely assured. β
"Your identity is sensitive, and you may have to live incognito, but what does it matter...... My mother would rather be just an ordinary person, living a life of male farming and female weaving with your father, and I will continue to grow old like this, but ...... Ay. β
The words that my mother had just said came into my mind one by one, and He Wan'er couldn't help biting her lip tightly.
Although she remembered every sentence clearly, she ...... How can these words be said to Brother Jing?
He Wan'er was trying her best to hide her emotions, but in fact, it was not necessary at all - because Xiao Jing on the other side seemed to be a little afraid to face her.
I don't know how Mrs. Bai persuaded her, but it really made He Wan'er dispel the idea of "following her mother"?
Isn't this too cruel for Wan'er?
Xiao Jing was sad and reluctant to speak, but He Wan'er walked out faster than him.
"That's right, Brother Jing." As if she had suddenly remembered something, she pulled out a newspaper: "Look at this. β
Xiao Jing took it casually and said, "Isn't this the mirror newspaper, is there a typo or what's wrong?" β
He Wan'er said: "That's not it, it's just that people didn't buy this newspaper at those sales outlets." β
Xiao Jing smiled when he heard this: "It's been more than two years since our newspaper was sold here. Now that the print run is sufficient, and there are many people in charge of distribution everywhere, it is not unusual for someone to distribute some to the people below, and we can't control it...... Hey? β
As he spoke, the smile on his face vanished, and his eyes were completely focused on the newspaper.
Why does the content of this "Mirror" look weird?
As far as the newspaper itself is concerned, Xiao Jing, as the editor-in-chief, does not see anything unusual at first glance. The same layout, the same header, and even the column settings are exactly the same.
However, the content on this is very different!
For example, the front page of the newspaper published the incident of the palace change two days ago. It's nothing, but this newspaper is actually accusing in a weird way, which means that the palace does not cultivate virtue and politics, so such a disaster happened, which is a warning from heaven.
There is a page that has been used to publish the new works of the literati, which can be regarded as a page that caters to this part of the audience; In this newspaper, there are indeed some articles there, but they are all vulgar and unbearable obscene lyrics and songs, and those things are simply oiled bodies without any level, let alone artistic conception or something.
As for the later version of the "social survey...... It's even more messy.
When they got here, the person who published the newspaper simply went shirtless and wrote gossip lace. Xiao Jing was already stunned after only reading a few reports, and what was even more exaggerated was that this person actually wrote his father-in-law Xia Honghan into it, and the excitement of that story was close to "Two or Three Things About Master Pang and My Mother".
Dear, do you have any misunderstanding of the word "investigation"?
After flipping through the entire newspaper, Xiao Jing was so angry that he laughed:
This "Li Ghost" is too funny, right, thinking that you can do whatever you want with a mirror newspaper?
Chen Borui won't talk about it...... You really haven't seen the wrath of my father-in-law!
Xiao Jing grinned and turned his head to talk to He Wan'er.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a side face with several tear stains, and a small hand that was trying to wipe away tears.
At the same time, extremely soft sobs drifted into his ears with the wind.
Although He Wan'er is naΓ―ve, she is not stupid - she understands everything, and she is stronger than anyone else!
