Hui Niang had no intention of avoiding it at all, Shen Xi had to sit on the edge of the bed, turn his back, and only complete his peeing plan after half a day, and when he was about to turn around and put the night pot on the ground next to the bed, Hui Niang had already stepped forward to take it.

"I said that my aunt will help you send it out." Hui Niang took the night pot, turned around and walked out of the door, and came back after a while to tidy up the bedding for Shen Xi.

Shen Xi had recovered a little at this time, and at the end of the day, he only ate some gruel and side dishes at night, and at this time he had a little hunger in his stomach.

Hui Niang went to the kitchen to bring some food to Shen Xi, it was steaming, it turned out that there was a fire on the stove all the time, just because she was afraid that Shen Xi would wake up hungry at night and have nothing to eat.

Shen Xi wanted to get out of bed and go home after eating, Hui Niang said: "You stay here to sleep tonight, Xi'er is in my room, and her room is yours now." ”

Shen Xi heard that something was wrong, and asked with a smile, "Auntie, why is Xi'er's room mine?" ”

"Stinky boy, don't think nonsense, aunt doesn't mean anything else."

Hui Niang explained, and immediately laughed dumbly, explaining to a child who was less than nine years old that it was too early to explain this? Hui Niang's original meaning, anyway, Shen Xi often comes to sleep with Lu Xi'er, this room naturally has Shen Xi's share, and the voiceover is actually to marry her daughter to Shen Xi, and her daughter is naturally Shen Xi's son-in-law.

Shen Xi nodded: "Aunt, then I'll sleep first, and you can go back and rest." ”

Hui Niang shook her head: "I discussed it with your mother, I will take turns to keep vigil for you today, you are just a little sick, don't get cold." In this way, scrub before sleeping, and it is not easy to be entangled by illness. ”

After all, Hui Niang is in business, believing in the theory of ghosts and gods, she has an inexplicable awe of the gods, and after speaking, she went out to prepare hot water to wipe Shen Xi's body.

Originally, before Shen Xi fell asleep, he usually had to wash first, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable, which was a habit that he had inherited from his two lifetimes.

Hui Niang brought the basin of water, and the water contained in it emitted the white smell of Nana. In the cold winter months, wiping your face with a hot towel will also feel warm. Hui Niang scrubbed Shen Xi's face, arms, and back, and then handed him the towel: "You come by yourself in front." ”

Shen Xi smiled and wiped a few times on his chest and stomach with a towel. He handed it back.

Hui Niang scrubbed the towel and went out with the basin. Shen Xi was about to lie down, and Hui Niang came in with a basin of hot water.

"What's the hurry, I didn't even wash my feet. The old people say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You're going to do big things in the future, and you have to wash your feet before you go to bed, you know? ”

Shen Xi responded. At this time, Hui Niang put down the basin, and Shen Xi just put her feet into the hot water, and couldn't help but "hiss", the water was a little hot.

At this time, Hui Niang squatted on the ground and stretched out her slender jade hand to wash Shen Xi's feet.

"Auntie, I'll do it myself."

Shen Xi didn't dare to trouble Hui Niang to wash his feet, there was no blood relationship in the end, and he was also suspected of being a beautiful woman.

Hui Niang has been bound since she was a child. It was very inconvenient to squat on the ground, and in the end she simply knelt on the ground, reached out and grabbed Shen Xi's feet, and said:

"You're still sick, just let me come. You like to be clean on weekdays, and your feet are not very dirty...... Look at your feet, you are older than your aunt before you are nine years old, and the old people say that men's feet are big, whether they are walking or life, they will be very stable, and your aunt is not like you. There is no such pair of feet that can walk. ”

Hui Niang's face was a little sad.

In the end, it is a woman who has wrapped her feet, even if she has let go of her feet now, she can never change back to her original appearance, and the most difficult thing for her on weekdays is walking. It's just that walking as a big boss of the Chamber of Commerce is a common thing.

Hui Niang washed Shen Xi's feet and washed them very carefully.

Shen Xi lowered his head, looking at Hui Niang's preoccupied appearance, he really wanted to reach out and take her in his arms, but unfortunately he was just a child, and his arms were short and thin. can't become a safe haven for Hui Niang.

When everything was done, Hui Niang went out to pour out the water, came back and tidied up the quilt, then sat on the stool next to the bed, and looked at Shen Xi with a smile: "Still not sleeping?" ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "I've slept all day, how can I sleep?" Auntie, tell me a story. ”

"Where do I tell stories? I have heard from you that I know everything. Hui Niang was a little emotional, she thought she had rich life experience, but in many things, she couldn't ask herself about a child like Shen Xi.

Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "Then aunt will tell me about the past, I want to know my aunt's previous life." ”

"What's there to talk about?" Hui Niang paused, "It's okay to tell you, but after listening to it, you have to forget it, and even my aunt doesn't want to mention it......"

Hui Niang began to tell the story of her growing up, her voice was soft and gentle, and Shen Xi listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Hui Niang's hometown is in Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, and her family has 100 acres of fertile land, which is a small landlord, and her family background is okay, so she has been bound since she was a child, and learned "Thousand Character Text" from her father.

During the Chenghua period, the Yangtze River basin was flooded, the village was flooded, not only the houses were washed away, the fields were not harvested, and the most terrible thing was that the Yangtze River was partially diverted, resulting in Hui Niang's family from a well-off home to nothing, and her life also changed drastically.

At that time, Hui Niang was only 12 years old, and she and her younger brother left Jiujiang Mansion with their father and uncle and went south to the provincial capital Nanchang to seek a living.

When they arrived in Nanchang, their father and uncle went out to work for others, but because the whole province of Jiangxi was seriously affected by the disaster, the people lived in hardship, and it was extremely difficult to support Hui Niang's sister and brother. After the catastrophe, there was a great epidemic, and it didn't take long for the plague to break out in Nanchang, and Hui Niang's younger brother, uncle and father died of illness one after another.

The Lu family saw that Nanchang was not a place to stay for a long time, so they moved back to Jianchang Mansion in eastern Jiangxi, where their ancestral home was located, and Hui Niang was assigned to serve Lu Shaobo, the eldest son of the Lu family. Lu Shaobo didn't care much about Hui Niang at first, but slowly found that Hui Niang was knowledgeable and wise, and he didn't know when he fell in love with her.

Lu Shaobo cared for Hui Niang very much, and later simply went against his father's wishes and married Hui Niang, which was not tolerated by the family.

Because the family has not supported Lu Shaobo's marriage to Hui Niang, he did not dare to leave Hui Niang at home, and he also took him with him when he went out to do business.

After that, Shen Xi already knew a lot of things. It's nothing more than that the plague broke out in the Lu family's hometown for some reason, and the parents, brothers and sisters passed away one by one, and the ancestral property was taken away by the side branches. And Hui Niang's life is thin, and the firstborn is not a son. Later, Lu Shaobo died of illness, and Hui Niang became a widow, took her daughter to run a pharmacy, and barely survived. Until Shen Xi sheltered from the rain and inadvertently broke into her ordinary life.

“…… Xiao Lang. Are you too long-winded to listen to it? ”

After the story was over, Hui Niang asked with a smile on her face.

"Nope."

Shen Xi looked at Hui Niang with sincere eyes, "I didn't know before, it turned out that the relationship between my aunt and my uncle was so good, no wonder after my uncle's death, my aunt didn't marry you." ”

Hui Niang scratched Shen Xi's face with her fingers, and said with a smile: "People are big ghosts, how can you understand the affairs of adults?" ”

Shen Xi disagreed: "Aunt, don't look down on people. What I don't know? ”

This question made Hui Niang stunned, thinking carefully about what Shen Xi had done in the past two years, it was not something that a naughty boy could do. She has always believed that fate is determined by God, whether it is sorrow, happiness, or exile, it is all destined, and even meeting Shen Xi's family is also God's arrangement.

"Xiaolang, why do you know so many things?"

"Because I was sent by heaven to save you." Shen Xi smiled evilly. "When I grow up, I still have to marry my aunt and protect my aunt for the rest of my ......life."

The smile on Hui Niang's face quickly dimmed, and she listened to Shen Xi's words. She didn't get angry, because she had no reason to be angry with a child, and she didn't laugh and joke like before that "you are young and ignorant" Yunyun, at this moment, her face was full of confusion.

Because she could feel what Shen Xi had done for her in the past two years. More competent than her husband.

In the end, Hui Niang shook her head and said with a wry smile: "A lot of things...... You don't understand. You have Dai'er, and you will have a great future in the future, and your aunt is an ominous person who will bring you disaster. ”

Shen Xi pondered Hui Niang's words for a while, she did not refuse, and of course she would not agree, but considered the problem from his standpoint.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, Shen Xi has really grown up, and if Hui Niang has affection for him, it is impossible for the two to come together, which not only includes Lu Xi'er, Zhou and Lin Dai, including all the people around him who know and don't know, but also involves Shen Xi's future.

In Hui Niang's view, Shen Xi will have great achievements in the future, and the great achievements of this era are definitely not business, but the imperial examinations, this world has high requirements for the conduct of scholars, not only the ambition must be noble, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are all ready, and there can be no stain in life, otherwise a small mistake can make the scholar unable to raise his head for the rest of his life, let alone be an official in the court.

A young and promising official marries a widow who is more than ten years older than him, this is no longer a simple moral issue, once the news spreads, Shen Xi will be discredited, let alone being an official, he will not even be able to raise his head in the future.

Hui Niang has a longer vision than Shen Xi, and when Shen Xi said the words "Tong Yan Wuji", she immediately blocked Shen Xi's thoughts, but this just shows that Hui Niang is not thinking about this problem for the first time, or she has also thought about what Shen Xi will do when she grows up.

"Auntie, can't I marry you even if I grow up?" Shen Xi wanted to understand all this, and his heart was in a mess.

Hui Niang touched Shen Xi's head with a smile and said, "I think so, we are not of the same generation in the first place, how can you marry me?" But in the future...... If your mother and Dai'er agree, I want to marry Xi'er to you and let her be a concubine for you, do you like it or not? ”

Shen Xi didn't expect Hui Niang to be involved in Lu Xi'er, and thought, could it be that Hui Niang wanted to use Lu Xi'er as her stand-in and stay by her side in the future? Or is Hui Niang afraid that he will grow up and have his own family business, and no longer care about their mother and daughter, and want to use Lu Xi'er to tie his heart?

Shen Xi said: "Actually...... I just treat Xi'er as a sister. ”

But when he said this, he couldn't even convince himself. If one day Lu Xi'er grows up and wants to marry someone else, he is still reluctant.
