37, the secret of not knowing

The silence in the room could be heard of the falling needles, and Xu bit his lip tightly, and he couldn't wait to faint in shame.

The third old man knelt in front of the old lady with a 'plop', and Xu also knelt down when he saw this.

I only listened to the three old men respectfully,

“…… The mother is a child and has no way to teach his wife, and his son's three-year foreign appointment has expired, and now his father and eldest brother are discussing whether to make a vacancy for his son in the sixth department. ”

"Stay in the capital, and take care of your wife and children in the future."

When the old lady heard the third old man say 'father', she was stunned for a moment, her expression was a little complicated, and she sighed,

"It's a good thing to be able to stay in Shangjing, your temperament is sparse, you can't play the officialdom of intrigue, and doing local politics and the like is more in line with you."

"In that case, you will have to go out to work, there are so many academies in the capital, let your father see if there are any academy chiefs and the like that can be suspended."

It's rare for the old lady to say more, or to point to the words, the third master naturally wrote it down hard.

The old lady's expression was depressed, and she waved her hand when she said it,

"It's getting late, although there is your eldest brother at home, but Azhu still wants you to take care of it, so they won't leave your nightstay, go back to the city."

Xu Shi held the handkerchief and pulled the placket on her chest, she bit her lip and looked up at the old lady, her expression was sad and unspeakable.

The old lady had already stood up with the armrest of the chair, but when she saw this, she sat back again, and looked at Xu who finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You think I was too harsh?"

Xu's tears rolled down, surging like a river bursting its banks,

"Mother, is the daughter-in-law really doing something wrong? It's not that I don't love Weiwei, it's just ...... Just ......"

Xu wiped away his tears, got up from the ground, stumbled, and sat down on the chair, and the third master hurriedly went up,

"Ah Chan ......"

Xu waved her hand, refusing his care, she closed her eyes, and said gloomily,

"I love Shan'er, I do have the grace of my righteous brother to save my life, if it wasn't for my righteous brother who sacrificed his life to save him in the Southern Yunnan clan riot that day, where would the lord be able to return to Shangjing safe and sound?"

With tears in her eyes, she remembered that in the southern Yunnan riots that day, her righteous brother was covered in blood and protected the old man under him.

Since people can come out to protect you with their lives, she just hurts his descendants, how can it be too much?

The old lady sighed, it's this problem again, when it comes to the brothers and sisters of the Ming family, they will return to this node, and they can't get over it.

In the past, she practiced alone in another courtyard, so she closed her eyes and went with them.

But now that it is related to Xin Yi, she can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"No one has forgotten Mingsheng's kindness, as Wei Wei said, is it necessary to give up his mother to repay his kindness? It's not to stop you from being nice to the Ming brothers and sisters. ”

"But what about Weiwei? Why did your eldest brother punish her to kneel in the ancestral hall, and she could do such a fierce thing? Don't you reflect on it? ”

These are like fried cold rice, constantly fried, fried over and over again, it is impossible for the Xu family not to be clear in the old lady's heart.

But for the sake of harmony in the family, the old lady is willing to say it again.

Xu slowly lowered his head, buried his face in the white veil and wept silently.

The third master felt sorry for his wife on the side, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

It was only after a long time that Xu stopped crying and said slowly word by word,

"Mother, which daughter-in-law of the Xin family was not selected by thousands of choices, since the father can ask for a daughter-in-law for the master, then the daughter-in-law is not a fool."

"If it's just for the righteous brother, the daughter-in-law ......"

She choked up, as if she remembered something, and she couldn't say it anymore, but finally she said it with difficulty,

"It's not just the master who was saved by the righteous brother, but the daughter-in-law, if it weren't for the red-line sister, she would have died early, where would she wait for the Xin family to come to the door to ask for marriage."

When the third old man saw that Xu Shi had said this, he was suddenly not good, and he stepped forward to see Xu in his arms, and said in a series of words,

"Achan, don't think about that, those are over, just let the husband pay it back."

Xu shook her head, she seemed to have fallen into a blessed nest since she was born, the Xu family is a big family in Shandong, and she grew up as a concubine.

But the change came when she was fifteen years old, she followed her family to incense, and met bandits on the way, she took the maid and her family to be separated, and finally fell into the hands of bandits.

Not only her, but also the daughter of a family at that time also suffered, that is, Ming Yushan's mother's red line.

Before that, although they had met, they had only nodded their heads.

Those who could be bandits during the Taiping period were all fierce and evil people, Xu Chan thought that she couldn't survive, it was Ming Yushan's mother who saved her.

Not only saved her life, but also protected her when the bandits wanted to spoil her.

In the end, Xu Chan was safe and sound under her protection, and waited for the Xu family to save her.

The red line was also saved, and because of protecting her, her innocence was not there.

Later, the Hong family moved away, and many years later, she followed the third master to southern Yunnan and saw the red line of marrying Mingsheng again.

At that time, the red line had a happy family and a pair of children.

Xu Chan's heart knot for many years was also let go, I thought that the future would be better and better, who would have known that there would be a rebellion in the southern Yunnan clan?

The Ming family was wiped out, and Mingsheng, who finally survived with his children, died in order to save the third master.

With such two lives in it, Xu Chan felt that it was impossible to overstate how much she loved the brothers and sisters of the Ming family.

Xu Chan even thought that if the couple hadn't been released to southern Yunnan, would something have happened to the Mingsheng couple?

Is it that now that they are still living in this world, Yushan and Yujue will not become orphans?

Whenever she thinks of this, Xu Chan wants to be kind to their brothers and sisters.

The old lady had never heard of such a thing, and was stunned for a while.

The third old man stroked his wife's back, and coaxed her in a low voice,

"Ah Chan, the matter has passed, the deceased is gone, you took good care of their two brothers and sisters, and the righteous brothers and sisters must be very grateful to you."

"Their grace of salvation will be repaid by waiting for the husband to go underground in the future."

The old lady came back to her senses and sighed slightly.

"In life, the most rare thing is to have a friend with a knife in both sides.

The MSCI couple did have great righteousness, and they did really help each other.

But in other words, once you have the opportunity, will you also help them without hesitation? ”

"Everyone has a heart-to-heart relationship with each other, do they want to see the result like this today when they save you? No. ”

"Your affection is poured out on your brothers and sisters, and it is understandable, I know that you are thinking of both kindness and righteousness, but your children don't know the reason for this.

You want them to empathize as you do, and that can't be.

Do you know why? ”

The old lady did not give Xu an answer, but said earnestly,

"Think about it yourself, you've lost a little bit, but you don't have a second chance to lose it again."

Xu leaned on the arms of the third master in a daze, his face full of tears, unable to speak.

Where does she not love her children in her heart, she was sick and weak when she was a child, and she was brought up by her clothes and hands.

When her daughter is sick, she can't wait to replace her with her body, every bowl of medicine her daughter eats, she has tasted, and every step she takes, she is behind her.

Ah Zhu protected Weiwei like that, also because her love for Weiwei was seen by Ah Zhu at the beginning.

My sister is used to hurt.

Her daughter, how could she not love?

What went wrong?

Xu was at a loss.

The old lady's yard was stormy, and Xin Yi had a good night's sleep here.

When she thought that the old lady said that Qingshu Zhenren had something good to tell her, her resentment towards the Xu family also faded.

People also pay attention to fate, maybe there is no such opportunity between her and Xu.

Immortal cultivators pay attention to cause and effect, she can't take the initiative to break the cause and effect with the Xu family, so they will live a plain life in the future.

Before falling asleep, Xin Yi's only pity was that he was afraid that he would lose his things, so he put the tokens of the master in Xinfu.

Otherwise, when you see the real person tomorrow, you can bring the token with you, and maybe you can confirm whether the real person is the master or not.

But it doesn't matter, Qingshu Zhenren can't run away there, and when he wakes up tomorrow, he can go to his grandmother and beg her to let someone take Jinchun or Jinqiu back to the city to get it.

In the early morning of the next day, Xin Yi woke up early, got up as usual to take care of himself, and when Jinchun came in with a basin of water, he learned that Xu was sick.

Her hand wiping her face paused, could it be that she was angry with herself last night?

After freshening up, she hurried to the old lady's yard.

The old lady had already gotten up, and was sitting in front of the dressing table to make up, her face was a little haggard, and when she saw her coming, she beckoned to her and smiled.

"Your mother is sick after a tiring journey yesterday, just rest for a day or two, you can go and see her."

As she spoke, the old lady patted her hand and comforted her.

Xin Yi knew that the old lady was comforting her, so she obediently went to the courtyard where the third old man and his wife were housed.

When I arrived, I met Yun Gu who came out of the curtain, and when she saw that she was going in, Yun Gu immediately said,

"Girl, Madame had a high fever last night and finally fell asleep early in the morning, why don't you wait first?"

Xin Yi pursed his lips, the high fever does not go away? Grandmother didn't say anything just now.

She didn't leave, but stayed in the guest house, saw the maid boiling medicine, took over the work of boiling medicine, sat in front of the stove, and gently fanned the fire with a fan.

Yun Gu knew that the mother and daughter had a big quarrel last night, and the reason for Xu's illness was even clearer.

I thought that Xin Yi would walk away if she didn't see Xu, but she didn't expect her to be able to sit patiently in front of the stove and boil medicine.

She is very familiar with the process of boiling medicine, and in order to prevent the boiling medicine soup from overflowing, she took a chopstick and put it between the lid and the jar.

After the medicine is boiled, pour the first soup and the second soup into a bowl to neutralize the medicinal properties.

When it was over, he didn't leave, he took a small pestle and sat not far from Xu's sickbed, took a book and looked at it, and glanced at the sleeping Xu from time to time.

In this regard, Xin Yi thought that since people are angry with themselves, no matter what the reason, they always have to make up for it.

At noon, Xin Zhu also rushed over from the city, and almost cried when he saw little Xin Yi sitting in the house guarding the Xu family.

This younger sister has been sick and weak since she was a child, but her temperament is not perverse, and after kneeling in the ancestral hall once, Xu was stimulated and her temperament changed.

It's not that she doesn't complain about Xu's eccentricity, but she knows that a family can continue, that is, to take care of the overall situation, she also saw her mother take care of her sister when she was young, and even later, she also helped make up for her mother's negligence.

Her family affairs have been set, and the wedding date is set for next spring, and she will marry several years earlier than her sister, and she has also worried that when she marries, there will be no one to reconcile between her mother and sister, what should she do at that time?

Before she came, she also knew the reason why her mother was sick, and thought that her sister would ignore her mother, but she didn't expect it......

Xin Zhu felt that maybe she could rest assured after she got married.

Because my sister has grown up.

If Xin Yi knew Xin Zhu's thoughts, she would probably roll her eyes and tell Xin Zhu that she was really thinking too much.

She would not and could not forgive Xu for his partiality.

There are so many beautiful things in this world, such as the book that you can't finish reading, and the fresh and beautiful young man who can't finish reading in the world.

There are so many delicious things that she hasn't eaten before, and as Yan Wuming said, there are so many scenery that she hasn't seen.

Why should she indulge in those grievances?

If you can get along well, you can get along well, and if you can't get along well, everyone keeps their distance.

What's more, she was also thinking about how to persuade the Qingshu real person to take her into the door, only in this way could she know whether this real person was the master or not.

She has too many things to do, and she doesn't have the spirit to dwell on these trivial things.

In the next few days, the people in the third room stayed in the other courtyard and waited until Xu's illness recovered before they would go to the capital.

During this period, the eldest lady Luo Shi brought several other ladies to visit Xu, at that time Xu's high fever had subsided, although people were a little haggard, but they could also half-sit up and talk to people.

Xin Yi stood beside Xin Zhu obediently, listened to several uncles and aunts with a smile, and accepted their condolences for the Dongyueguan murder case that day.

Finally, when it came to Xiao Wulang, the victim of the incident, several noble ladies sighed that Xiao Wulang was a pity.

As for how it's a pity, Xin Yi doesn't know much, and vaguely heard that something can't work.

Xin Yi's mind is full of questions, what can't be done?

She thinks Xiao Wulang is very good, according to what is said in the book, those who can be reused by the emperor are all talented people, not to mention that Xiao Wulang also holds several positions.

People are so handsome, and their temperament is not very good at first glance, but once they get along, they are like a spring water, warm.

If she had the opportunity next time, would she ask Xiao Wulang, what is there about him that he is known for?

Xu's illness was carefully cared for by Xin Zhu and Xin Yi, and she got better quickly, but she was able to get out of bed in three or five days, but after this illness, she seemed to be thinner, and her face was also pale.

And the mother-daughter relationship between Xu and Xin Yi has also fallen into a situation that is not salty or light.

Xin Yi and Xin Zhu took turns to take care of the Xu family, and when it was Xin Yi's turn, she took out the strength to take care of her master back then, but the two didn't communicate much, one was silent Shi, and the other was silent.

Both of them coincidentally wanted to let the quarrel of the day fade away, but they both knew that this matter would leave a hurdle in each other's hearts.

As for whether it can pass, it is unknown.

Xu recovered from illness and returned to the city, bringing Xin Yi back, and when the old lady left Xin Yi, she also said that if she wanted to go out to a banquet to socialize, Xu could take her there.

This time it was a post sent by a Zheng aunt who married in the capital, and this aunt happened to be a friend of Xu's, and the old lady in the family celebrated her seventieth birthday.

And this old lady used to be the nurse whom His Majesty now respects.

Which high-ranking family doesn't want to come to the door to get some blessings on her birthday?

After a fight in another courtyard, even if Xu knew that his daughter would always have a problem when she went out, she put out her mind of asking for this and that.

Just let her follow Xin Zhu closely, with the eldest daughter watching, the younger daughter can always stop a little.

Unlike what Xu thought, Xin Zhu was quite confident in her sister's change, and in the carriage, she held her sister's hand beside her.

"Weiwei, don't be afraid, as long as we are not afraid of shadows, you don't want to provoke others."

"However, once someone provokes you, you don't have to swallow your anger, but you must not leave a handle for others to catch."

Xu originally wanted Xin Zhu to look at Xin Yi, but he didn't expect her to be good, this is simply conniving.

Immediately she glared,

"Ah Zhu, where are your etiquette, today is the birthday of Mrs. Gao, how many people are here, even the emperor will send the prince and princess to congratulate her birthday, you can't make trouble."

I probably felt that my tone was a little harsher, and I slowed down again, lowering my voice,

"It's not a big deal, you just bear with it, after the family will always be the master for you, I really can't bear it, as Azhu said, you can't leave a handle."

Xin Yi was dumbfounded, this ...... Is this still the Xu family she knows?

She suddenly understood why Ming Yushan had become like that.

Anyway, the Gao family arrived soon, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Gao Mansion, those who received the posts came, and those who didn't receive the posts lingered outside the door to see if they could rub it, and some of them secretly put down their gifts and left.

In short, it's not fun.

Xin Zhu took Xin Yi and several girls from the Xin family into the flower hall for hospitality.

As soon as they entered, the girls inside swept their eyes together, and their target was Xinyi.

Dongyueguan's murder has long been spread all over the capital these days, and everyone has a different point of concern, and the focus of these girls is that Xin Yi was involved in it because Xiao Wulang actually angrily reprimanded all the girls who loved him for her.

Ordinary girls can get Xiao Wulang's gaze, and they are overjoyed in every word, not to mention Xiao Wulang's help, which is simply something that has never happened.

Who doesn't know that Xiao Wulang is unpretentious and respectful of the girl in the capital?

Whether you know Xin Yi or not, you want to see what kind of demon this is, and you want to charm Xiao Wulang?

The girls' eyes fell on Xin Yi's body, jealousy, curiosity, annoyance, and so on.

There was also a sharp resentment in these gazes, which was as sharp as a knife.

Xin Zhu took Xin Yi's hand, walked in with his head held high, saw a few good sisters, walked over, took Xin Yi to a seat, and introduced Xin Yi to them.

One of the round-faced girls looked curious, she didn't ask about Xiao Wulang, she asked,

"Seventh girl, I heard that you once broke the leg of Young Master Ming, who lives in your house, so imposing, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Xin Zhu's face suddenly turned cold, and he immediately said, "I brought my sister here when you were a friend, if this is the case, we should go well." ”

As he spoke, he got up and pulled Xin Yi to leave.

The girl next to the round-faced girl hurriedly patted her, and took Xin Zhu's hand again,

"Azhu, I'm sorry, you don't have to worry about my sister, I don't know where she got the news."

Xin Yi didn't care, and asked the round-faced girl with a smile, "I don't know who this girl is?" ”

It's not that she pretended not to know, but because when Xin Zhu introduced it just now, this girl was not there, and it was later.

She asked in front of so many people, and the round-faced girl thought that she was doing it on purpose, and immediately snorted coldly,

"Don't you even know the lord of this county? So how did you know Kangping? ”

Xin Yi smiled, why did she know Kangping, it was out of the blue, and the lord of Kangping rushed to find Kangping.

The round-faced girl is the young daughter of the Fuwang Mansion Baoping County Lord, and Xin Zhu is her sister Bao'an County Lord.

Xin Yi sighed in his heart, why are the titles in the royal family so cheesy? It's not Kang, Ping, it's, Bao, An or something.

Is it true that the royal family often dies?

"I'm not in good health, I don't go out often, I don't know the county lord's face, and I invite the county lord to a lot." Xin Yi gave a sincere salute.

The county lord of Baoping was stunned, she thought that Xin Yi would be as angry with her as she was with Kangping, but she didn't expect that Xin Yi today would be so able to bend and stretch, and her eyes suddenly widened.

"Aren't you angry that I deliberately mentioned your embarrassment?"

"Kang Ping said you were fierce."

Xin Yi couldn't help laughing, does this girl have a problem with masochism, she doesn't scold her, isn't she happy?

However, it is precisely because of this that she feels that this little county lord is a scheming person, and mentioning this is purely curious.

"I'm angry, I'm angry, but those are really what I did, since I did it, I have to dare to do it, who hasn't done some ridiculous things when I'm young."

The county lord of Bao'an, who was sitting next to the county lord of Baoping, suddenly pointed at Xin Yi and smiled at Xin Zhu,

"Who said your sister is domineering, I think she has a very good temperament."

Xin Zhu looked proud, that is, it's her sister, how can it be bad?

Seeing that Xin Yi was so open, the lord of Baoping County immediately said happily, "I like you, let's be good friends." ”

"Your sister and my sister are good friends, and we should be good friends."

On this day, Xin Yi gained his first friend after arriving at Hongchen.

Next, the county lord of Baoping took Xin Yi around, and introduced her to all the people, only to make it clear that this Xin Qi girl was covered by her, so that everyone's eyes were bright and not provoked.

If it is said that the father of the lord of Kangping, King Ying, holds the power of the army, and he is the brother of His Majesty, so he is favored by His Majesty.

Then King Fu conquered the emperor completely on his own, because he was very kind, and no one else wanted to quarrel with him.

Now the Royal Zongzheng Temple is in his charge, and since he took office, there is harmony in the royal family......

The county lord of Baoping has been sticking to Xin Yi since then, and even went to the clean room with her.

It was this that Xin Yi took Jinchun and stood outside the clean room waiting for the lord of Baoping.

"Seventh girl, my county lord's outer skirt was accidentally soiled, I wonder if I can change it with you?"

I saw a maid come out of the clean room with a skirt in her hand.

Xin Yi stared at the maid, and suddenly smiled, "Okay." ”

As he spoke, he followed the maid to the clean room, ready to change the skirt to the lord of Baoping.
