Chapter 855: Loose
[One o'clock or so, there is one more.] 】
Every time she enters and exits Jia Yu's East Cross Courtyard, Xing Xiuyan feels uncomfortable.
This is half because of Mrs. Xing's scathing face, and the other half is because the main body of the East Cross Courtyard and the Rongguo Mansion are not connected.
Therefore, every time I want to go to the East Cross Courtyard, I inevitably have to pass through the street in front of the Rongguo Mansion.
In the Rongguo Mansion, all the female dependents with some status, in order not to show up and lose their dignity, these few steps must also be taken by car.
But Mrs. Xing obviously didn't have the idea of helping her niece fight for this kind of treatment.
So at this time, there are often some curious eyes, following Xing Xiuyan.
Although there are no other faux pas, just the peeping of this maggot with a bone is already uncomfortable.
This time was no exception.
Xing Xiuyan led the little maid seal given by Baoyu, and as soon as she walked out of the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, she felt that a gaze combed her from head to toe.
In the face of this unscrupulous prying eyes, Xing Xiuyan could only pretend not to know and secretly quickened his pace.
Fortunately, it was not very far away, and with just a cup of tea, Xing Xiuyan came to the dark gate of Dongfu.
Because nominally, this East Cross Courtyard and Rongguo Mansion are still one, so there is no other corner gate, and you can enter and exit directly from the black lacquer gate.
Xing Xiuyan lifted the corner of her skirt with one hand, and was about to step up the steps, completely getting rid of the salivating gaze of the idle man, but suddenly a coquettish voice came from the leaning down: "Is it Miss Xing in front?" ”
Xing Xiuyan looked back and saw three carriages coming slowly, and in the middle of the car, a delicate maid was squatting on the wheel, looking at this side with her neck tilted.
As soon as the two of them looked at each other, Xing Xiuyan recognized that this maid was Caixia beside Second Sister You, and she didn't feel that it was an abruptness in her heart.
Last night, Sun Shaozong and the second sister You lived in the Ning Guo Mansion next door, looking at this posture......
Could it be that my father also invited the second brother of the Sun family?
was worried, the three carriages stopped one after another, the coachman in the center set up the wooden platform for the female dependents to get off the car, and the two maids who got off the carriage in front and behind helped Second Sister You to get out of the carriage under the command of Caixia.
At the same time, the idler who had been following Xing Xiuyan had already run away and disappeared - the whips in the hands of the coachmen were not only used to catch the car.
But he said that seeing Second Sister You's behavior of hugging back and forth, Xing Xiuyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, because if Sun Shaozong was also in the car, it would definitely not be Second Sister You's turn to show off.
Since Sun Shaozong was not there, she was less taboo and apprehensive, took the initiative to greet a few steps, and exchanged salutes with Second Sister You with a smile.
Second Sister You glanced into the east courtyard, and said with a smile: "Miss Xing, are you going to visit the eldest master?" It just so happens that I have something to report to our eldest wife, how about we be companions? ”
She took the initiative to invite, how could Xing Xiuyan refuse?
At that moment, they entered the dark gate side by side, and under the guidance of the door, they went straight to the flower hall in the backyard.
It's just gossip along the way.
Seeing the second gate, the door bowed down and retreated to the side, and the second sister You suddenly changed her words and whispered: "Girl, you must be careful today, someone steals chickens and rice, and is thinking about making up for it from elsewhere." ”
Xing Xiuyan knew that this 'stealing chickens and rice' refers to the ugly thing that Jia Yu couldn't pick up the ashes and lost one ear.
What does it mean that you can make up for it elsewhere?
Second Sister You seemed to see her doubts, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and pouted disdainfully: "The eldest master is still thinking about other things, but your aunt has fallen into the eyes of money, and this time she didn't get any benefits from the second grandmother, so it's like a piece of flesh in her heart has been stripped away, if you don't fill the gap, how can you live in peace?" ”
"The second grandmother made it clear again that the transaction was a partnership with our family, so your aunt naturally hit the idea on my second master."
Hearing this, how could Xing Xiuyan not understand?
When Rongguo Mansion checked the accounts, the eldest lord Jia Yu had sold his daughter once, but this time it was Mrs. Xing's turn to sell her niece!
But......
Xing Xiuyan quietly glanced at Second Sister You, thinking in her heart, this Aunt You has never been too shrewd, could it be that the second brother of the Sun family asked her to relay these words?
But what did the second brother of the Sun family ask her to tell herself these words?
Is it intentional or unintentional for yourself?
She had mixed feelings for a while, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Where is the second brother of the Sun family?" ”
"Before dawn, I was invited to the yamen to discuss matters." Second Sister You replied casually, and then said in surprise: "Miss Xing has something to do with my second master?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”
Xing Xiuyan hurriedly shook his head and denied it, but there was a warmth in his heart for no reason - Sun Shaozong left before dawn, and these words were naturally explained a long time ago, which shows that he still has something special in his heart.
That's it~
If you really can't resist the orders of your parents, it is better to be the concubine of the second brother of the Sun family than to marry someone else in a blind marriage.
Thinking like this, her heart was greatly relaxed, and her face unconsciously flushed.
On the side, Second Sister You saw that she was silent, and she didn't seem to have any reaction to her reminder, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Sister's method of showing favor in advance, shouldn't it be ineffective?
But it turned out that Fang Cai's words were not from Sun Shaozong's mouth, but were deduced by You Shi when the two sisters were idle.
…………
said that after this accident, the two had no communication on the side.
When she arrived in the backyard, Second Sister You went to find Jia Yingchun without mentioning it, while Xing Xiuyan arrived in a warm pavilion under the guidance of the maid.
I don't know how the warm pavilion was designed, and it didn't light the brazier, but the moment it entered the door, it dispelled all the chill of Xing Xiuyan.
Mrs. Xing and Sister Xing Zhong sat on the Taishi chair facing the door, and their posture and appearance were somewhat similar.
The difference is that Xing Zhong's face is full of joy, but Mrs. Xing is a gloomy owl.
"What's the matter with you girl?"
I had been holding back for a long time, and before Xing Xiuyan could come forward to salute, Mrs. Xing rushed to ask: "I obviously gave you two fine woolen coats before, but you want to dress up so shabby, don't you want people to think that I am abusing you as an aunt?!" ”
Those two fox furs were obviously given by Sun Shaozong, and they were also in Jia Yingchun's name.
Xing Xiuyan has been deliberately not wearing it recently in order to avoid suspicion.
But I never thought that Mrs. Xing was so brazen, not only took this matter on her head, but also used this to attack Xing Xiuyan.
But the most embarrassing thing at this time was Xing Zhong next to him.
His old face turned the color of pig liver, there was no smile on his face, and he puffed out his cheeks several times to stop talking, but he didn't dare to offend Gao Zhi'er's sister after all.
So he could only swallow his shame into his stomach, and said with a forced smile: "Sister, don't blame, she is also ......"
Xing Xiuyan suddenly cut off his father's flattering words, and said a blessing without being humble or arrogant: "Auntie, don't be angry, originally because the Ning Guofu next door was holding a funeral, and my uncle is now sick again, so I changed into some plain clothes - now it seems that my niece is not thoughtful enough." ”
As he spoke, he blessed Mrs. Xing again.
This time, it was Mrs. Xing's turn to be embarrassed.
She just wanted to find an excuse casually, and give Xing Xiuyan a dismissal first, lest this yellow-haired girl not know what to do and refuse her good intentions.
But who would have thought that Xing Xiuyan would see a flaw and take his own army.
What made Mrs. Xing even more angry was that Xing Xiuyan also used Jia Yu as an excuse, so that she had no way to refute it.
In fact, she was also in a hurry.
If he said this yesterday, Xing Xiuyan's heart had not yet loosened, except for this Rongguo Mansion, there would be no place to stay, so it would naturally be difficult to offend Mrs. Xing.
But by mistake, Xing Xiuyan's resistance to this marriage is far less strong than before.
Now that there is a way out, for this aunt who is snarky and tries to use her life's events as bargaining chips, she naturally has no good face for her.
For a while, Mrs. Xing gritted her teeth, stared, and was angry, but she couldn't find a way to vent.
Fortunately, there is still a Xing Zhong on the side.
Although he watched his sister being choked speechless by his daughter, his heart was also secretly refreshed, but he knew that he was planning to continue the marriage, and if he wanted to achieve it successfully, Mrs. Xing's help was also indispensable.
Therefore, after just watching the excitement for a moment, he hurriedly handed Mrs. Xing the steps: "What is my sister doing with her?" Let's get down to business first! ”
Mrs. Xing thought about it, no matter how much she was angry, she couldn't push the silver out of the white flowers.
So he suppressed the annoyance, and said with a stiff face: "Originally, it was nothing to leave you to eat and live in this mansion - but you shouldn't have used my mercy to disobey the kindness of your parents!" ”
"What kind of character is Erlang Sun? He accepted you as a concubine, and he didn't wronged you—you hid here behind your parents' back, as if the elders wanted to harm you! ”
"Such willful and reckless behavior is tolerated by your parents, and I can't tolerate it here!"
"I have already discussed with your father just now, choose a good day for your second sister to be in charge, and settle this matter first."
"As for when you will get married, and how to do it, your second sister will take care of it, and there is no reason to wronged you!"
Although Xing Zhong was also persecuted in every possible way before, he still left some dignity for his daughter in the end, but Mrs. Xing's words were stormy, but there was not even a trace of room for negotiation, and it was full of the smell of ultimatums.
Although Xing Xiuyan had expected it, she still couldn't help but feel a little sad at this time.
Secretly sighed in her heart, she said respectfully: "Since my aunt said this, my niece naturally doesn't dare to have any opinions......
"You...... Did you say yes? Did you really say yes?! Xing Zhong jumped up from the chair, and he didn't know what to do.
In fact, he has been tense all the time, and he is afraid that his daughter, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, will make some vigorous moves.
Who would have thought that her daughter would agree to be so easy!
Mrs. Xing listened to her response, and her face softened slightly.
Who knew that Xing Xiuyan continued: "There is just one thing, after all, my niece is the daughter of a good family, not the advocate of the Fengyue Field, I want the husband's family to respect, not something yellow and white!" ”
After a pause, she said categorically: "If he wants to buy me with money, I would rather die than be humiliated like this!" ”()
