Wen Xiang felt that today was too unlucky, and it was likely that the yellow calendar said that it was not suitable to go out.

Thinking like this, she lost the mood to continue wandering, bought some pastries and snacks along the way, and staggered back to the inn.

She lives in a south-facing room on the second floor, although Song Nanzhou has been pit on her all the way, but this room is still quite good, with good lighting and avoiding fierce direct sunlight. Even better, he helped her pay for the room.

Wen Xiang, who was in a good mood, pushed open the door and was stunned.

Xu Shen, who was dressed in a green shirt, sat at the table and looked at her expressionlessly.

Wen Xiang: "......"

If she didn't think that Xu Shen would find her, it must be fake. Of course, she imagined that Xu Shen would look for her, but she didn't expect him to come to the door so quickly.

Seeing him, especially him who was so cold and indifferent, Wen Xiang couldn't help but feel empty.

Can "that ......" still be called brother?

Wen Xiang is very embarrassed, she is not Xu Wenxiang, Xu Wenxiang and Xu Shen have no blood relationship, she really has no face to call out the word "brother"!

Without waiting for her to finish her struggle, Xu Shen said lightly: "How long do you plan to stand at the door?" ”

Wen Xiang hurriedly walked in, hurriedly closed the door, glanced at Xu Shen's unkind appearance, and said in a trembling voice: "Hehe, that ......"

"I don't call that." Xu Shen interrupted her.

If it was someone else, Wen Xiang couldn't help but laugh out loud with a pig cry.

But on herself, she couldn't laugh, and she didn't dare to laugh.

"I just wanted to ask you, have you eaten?" Wen Xiang felt that her momentum was too weak, although her heart was weak, but she would not be like this, so she reminded herself to hold her head high and be upright. But—

Xu Shen swept over with a glance, and Wen Xiang suddenly felt that he was three points shorter.

"I, I just bought some pastries, would you like to eat some together?" I finally got the words out.

Xu Shen frowned slightly, and looked at the oiled paper bag in her hand: "What time has it been, and you haven't eaten yet?" ”

Wen Xiang was glared at by his fierce gaze, and she was angry for three points - she used Xu Wenxiang's body, but she didn't take care of Xu Wenxiang's body, of course Xu Shen would be angry.

"I—I wasn't too hungry before." Wen Xiang was like a primary school student who had done something wrong, hung her head worriedly, and stood in front of Xu Shen: "Then, do you want to eat it or not?" ”

Xu Shen glared at her again, and then said, "What did you buy?" ”

When Wen Xiang heard this, just like a prisoner who had been amnestied, she immediately walked to the table, opened all the pastries she bought, and said: "I heard that Deng Ji's candied fruit is the most famous, so I bought dried apricots and drunken dates. ”

She pushed dried apricots and drunken dates to Xu Shen as if she were offering treasures.

Xu Shen lowered his eyes slightly: "I never eat candied fruits." ”

Wen Xiang was stunned, and then she was a little stupid: "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”

Xu Shen's heart ached, "You will remember it later." ”

So he hasn't given up yet, and he refuses to admit that she is not Xu Wenxiang.

Wen Xiang flattened her mouth, and didn't bother to argue with him about whether she was Xu Wenxiang or not, so she sat down and opened a few other oiled paper bags: "I also bought pea yellow, begonia crisp and lotus root powder osmanthus cake." ”

Eat as you like.

After saying that, she poured herself a glass of water and ate it to herself.

Xu Shen lowered his eyes and looked at her.

She eats quickly, but unexpectedly doesn't look rude and ugly. The cheeks with the pastry in his mouth bulging, like the little squirrel he had seen in the bird market holding a pine cone to eat.

It's not the same as Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang always eats in small bites, and when he looks at her, she will blush very embarrassedly, Xiangxiang has a small appetite, and it would be good if she could eat two or three of these pastries.

But Wen Xiang ate all the pastries she bought, drank two glasses of water, and then hiccuped a little contentedly.

"Brother." Wen Xiang thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Can I call you that?" ”

"How else would you call me?" Xu Shen asked rhetorically.

Wen Xiang saw that his expression was not as indifferent as he was just now, and his heart was relieved, so he smiled and said, "Xu Xiang? Xu Xiang's little brother? Which do you prefer? ”

The corners of Xu Shen's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but stare at her.

Wen Xiang smiled even happier: "Na Na Na, don't be angry, you asked me yourself." ”

Then he asked him, "Then do you want to choose one?" ”

Xu Shen replied neatly: "Don't!" ”

Wen Xiang smiled.

Her glittering and flattering smile made Xu Shen unable to hold back, and she bent her lips and shook her head helplessly: "You." ”

Wen Xiang only felt that her heart was crispy, this doting expression and tone almost made her girl's heart burst!

If he wasn't married, and he didn't like Xu Wenxiang, maybe she would be able to fight for it.

"You said just now, you've seen a caesarean section, but is it true?" Xu Shen suddenly asked.

Wen Xiang was dazzled by him, nodded stupidly when she heard the words, thought about it for a while, and quickly shook her head.

Xu Shen laughed angrily at her: "Have you seen it or not?" ”

"Where I used to be, let's call it my hometown." Wen Xiang took two sips of the teacup, only then did he remember that he hadn't poured tea for Xu Shen yet, and hurriedly poured him tea, and after respectfully handing it to him, he continued: "In my hometown, it is very common to have a child by caesarean section. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but everyone on our side knows that there is such a way to have children. ”

"Since you haven't seen it, why did you say it so conclusively?" Xu Shen frowned.

Wen Xiang scratched her head: "I just saw that everyone seemed to be very scared and resistant to the matter of disembowelment, I heard that Princess Qing saved this person in the capital by herself, but these people heard that she was disemboweled, but they still can't accept it and can't understand, I think...... I don't think that's good. Since Princess Qing has saved the young grandmother and mother and son of the Yun family, it shows that this method is feasible, I hope everyone can accept it and regard it as normal, so that if you encounter a difficult birth or something in the future, you can ask Princess Qing for help, and there will be a lot less tragedy. ”

Giving birth to a child in this realm is the same as breaking through the ghost gate, and when you encounter a difficult birth, it is the result of one corpse and two lives! Princess Qing has such medical skills, and Wen Xiang is a woman, so in such a situation, she takes advantage of the situation to find a way out for women, and there is absolutely no harm in promoting caesarean section. Maybe you can save a lot of lives by accident.

"It's too simple." Xu Shen shook his head: "The body is skinny, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." ”

Wen Xiang understood that it was unfilial piety to ask others to use knives on herself.

"But it's to save lives!" Wen Xiang's eyes widened: "My life is gone, what are you talking about filial piety or not?" If you don't dare to hurt your body, would you rather die? But there's a way to live! Moreover, what parent wants to watch their daughter die without letting her destroy her body? ”

Xu Shen quietly looked at Wen Xiang, who blushed excitedly.

"Our body hair and skin are given to us by our parents, we must cherish and love, this is the beginning of filial piety, I admit this." Wen Xiang still felt depressed and uncomfortable, "But if after getting sick, because you don't dare to damage your hair and skin, you would rather die of pain and illness, then I think this is foolishness!" Because the beginning of filial piety is to be filial to parents, to love the motherland and the people when they grow up, to contribute to others and society, and to realize the value of their own lives, this is the best way to be filial to their parents! ”

After that, seeing Xu Shen's contemplative face, he still didn't seem to approve of her words, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Anyway, I don't think it's right for you to be so filial piety!" ”

Xu Shen saw her turn around and ignore him angrily, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "That's it, what's the use of me arguing with you for this length?" ”

Wen Xiang pouted: "Then let me ask you, what if...... Let's start with okay, I'm talking about ifs, don't be angry. ”

"Say it."

"If your wife encounters dystocia during childbirth in the future, are you willing to ask Princess Qing to perform a caesarean section to keep their mother and child safe, or do you just watch her die without your eyes?"

Xu Shen sank his face suddenly: "There is no such if!" ”

He won't let Liu conceive his child!

Wen Xiang was startled, naturally she didn't know what Xu Shen was thinking, and she became more and more stupid: "I said yes." At this time, anyone who has a little conscience and does not pick money will choose the peace of mother and child. ”

Seeing that Wen Xiang was uneasy, Xu Shen eased his expression before asking in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"You don't know, some men value money more than life. For example, when a wife gives birth to a child, a natural birth is cheaper than a caesarean section, and those who see that their wives are going to die of pain and refuse to agree to a caesarean section, not only forcing their wives to give birth, but also scolding other doctors for wanting to make more money from him. You say it's hateful or not? ”

Xu Shen frowned when he heard this: "There is still such a man?" ”

"Why not? There's a lot of it. Wen Xiang pouted and said, "But it's too far, I just want to say, no matter what, it's better to live than to die!" ”

This is why she wanted to go back and think crazy, but she didn't dare to easily verify whether death could bring her back.

This time, Xu Shen nodded, and then said: "King Jin already knows your identity, and he approached you because of my relationship." ”

Wen Xiang was still in Jinwang one second, and he really knew her identity and approached her once or twice, and the next second he was choked by Xu Shen's sentence "Because of my relationship" and coughed straight at the mouth.

Xu Shen hurriedly raised his hand and patted her back, "Why are you so careless?" Do you want to drink saliva? ”

Wen Xiang coughed for a long time, drank two sips of water to relieve herself, and glanced at the initiator complainingly, "Who told you to say something like that." ”

caused her to accidentally think crookedly, and the picture of the domineering prince x the black-bellied prime minister suddenly appeared in her mind.

Xu Shen looked puzzled: "What did I say?" ”

"Ahem." Wen Xiang cleared her throat, and she didn't dare to tell the truth, "You mean, that King Jin came to approach me because of you?" ”

"This is related to the government, and you don't understand if you say too much." Xu Shen nodded and said, "I just want to tell you that he is not a good person." ”

Wen Xiang nodded: "I don't think he looks like a good person." ”

Xu Shen's expression softened slightly, "You live alone in this place where dragons and snakes are mixed, it's hard for me to rest assured." ”

As he spoke, he took out a purse and motioned for Wen Xiang to open it.

Wen Xiang opened it and looked at it...... She couldn't read it.

"It's ...... Title deed? ”

Xu Shen's eyes darkened, and his Xiangxiangqin, chess, calligraphy, painting, calligraphy, and painting were all excellent......

Although he was disappointed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, "This is the courtyard that my father bought back then, and it was for your mother." ”

Wen Xiang understood, this was the house that Xu's father bought for Xu Wenxiang's mother. So Xu Shen is going to hand it over to her now?

"Later, your mother died of illness, and my father put away this deed, and it was not until he was also sick in bed that he handed over this deed to me, and he wanted to give you this house as a dowry." Xu Shen said lightly, "Now that you have left the Xu Mansion, I am afraid that you don't want to go back, so it is better to live over there." ”

"No, I'm ......" Does she still want to usurp Xu Wenxiang's dowry?

"Don't say anything like you're not Xiangxiang anymore." Xu Shen sank his eyebrows, "In short, now you have two choices, either go back to Xu's Mansion or go to the other courtyard, you choose." ”

Of course, Wen Xiang didn't want to choose the latter, but she was still very uneasy: "Actually, you can leave me alone, and I can ...... myself."

"If you are fragrant all day, it is impossible for me to ignore you." Finally, Xu Shen said.

Wen Xiang could only compromise: "Okay then." ”

Xu Shen acted resolutely, said to leave, and got into the carriage with Wen Xiang, who had not yet come to his senses.

……

Wen Xiang got into the carriage, only to find that the apricot blossoms and light rain were also in the carriage.

As soon as the two sides looked at each other, the three of them were stunned.

Xinghua couldn't help crying: "Girl, you have suffered! ”

"Don't cry, I'm fine." Wen Xiang was overwhelmed by her crying, "I really didn't suffer." ”

She's not the kind of person who is willing to suffer herself.

But Xinghua didn't believe it, "Girl, look at you, what are you wearing, how can you wear such clothes like you, this is not as good as the miscellaneous little guy in our house." ”

Wen Xiang: "...... I wear it this way to hide my eyes and ears and make it easier for me to walk outside. ”

Weiyu said coldly: "The girl only has five coins of silver, and if she wants to save money, she can only buy such clothes to wear." ”

After a pause, he asked Wen Xiang again: "Have you run out of five coins of silver?" ”

Wen Xiang almost wanted to moan: "It's hard to tear people down, girl—but, why are you here?" ”

Xinghua rubbed her eyes and said, "Xiangye brought us here, let us follow the girl and serve the girl well." ”

Wen Xiang's eyes shot directly at Xu Shen: "You didn't tell me about this just now." ”

Xu Shen didn't seem to see the condemnation and displeasure in her eyes, and said calmly: "You live alone in another courtyard, and if there is no one around to serve, it will be inconvenient. These two maids follow you, and I can rest assured. ”

Wen Xiang pursed her lips and didn't speak, sulking with her back sullen.

When Xinghua saw it, she couldn't wipe her tears, and said nervously: "Girl, do you hate slaves and sisters in Weiyu?" You don't want slaves to serve you? ”

Saying this, there were two more tears in his eyes, as if as long as Wen Xiang said "yes", your two tears would immediately roll down.

Wen Xiang couldn't see people crying the most, so she had to say nonsense: "No, I like you two very much." ”

Xinghua laughed with tears in her eyes. looked at Wen Xiang, and then at Xu Shen, and then whispered: "The slave also likes the girl." ”

Wen Xiang's heart softened, just that's it, they all received Xu Wenxiang's other courtyard, what is the obstacle with two more maids?

It's time to go to the group dormitory.

……

Although the area of the annex is not too large, the small courtyard with two entrances has been built with a lot of effort.

Xu Wenxiang's mother is a person from the south of the Yangtze River, this yard is also a typical southern yard, beautiful and elegant, the yard is planted with a few bushes of green bamboo, gardenias bloom a few snow-white splendid trees, reflecting the scarlet roses, red, red and white are very beautiful.

There is also a huge pond in the backyard, and there is a small bridge in the middle of the pond that leads to the pavilion in the middle.

Xu Shen took her to visit all the way, and then went to the Huxin Pavilion to rest for a while.

Xinghua took the melon and fruit tea and came up, and quietly retreated.

Wen Xiang looked down at the various koi fish raised in the pond, and her mood was very complicated.

"What are you thinking?" Xu Shen inserted a piece of honeydew melon with a silver skewer and handed it to Wen Xiang, and asked Wen Sheng.

Wen Xiang was a little sullen, took the melon and took a bite: "I feel like ......"

It's like being raised.

Look at this Chinese house, there must be Chinese clothes in the Chinese house, as well as the busy people I saw on the way in just now.

Xu Shen explained to her that although the yard is small, there must be someone in the gatehouse, the kitchen is indispensable for the cook, the sprinkler is indispensable, and the mother-in-law who is in charge of the garden...... In total, plus the light rain of apricot blossoms, there are ten people who serve her.

She has no source of income, and she still lives in such a house, and uses so many servants, what is it if she is not fostered?

Although this day is very comfortable, her conscience will hurt! Her self-esteem doesn't allow it!

"Like what?" Xu Shen asked.

Wen Xiang sighed: "Isn't it like I'm getting it for nothing." ”

"This is what your mother left you, wouldn't it be better to think about it like this?" Xu Shen smiled and guided her.

"No, it won't." Wen Xiang, who loves to tell the truth, puffed out her cheeks and said, "That's not my mother. ”

Xu Shen looked at her quietly.

"Well, that's my mother." After all, she still uses other people's daughter's body, "Then, then I'll help Xu Wenxiang live for the time being?" ”

Xu Shen laughed at this time: "Good." ”

He habitually raised his hand, wanting to rub the warm fragrance on the top of his head.

Wen Xiang thought of the last time he hugged himself and kissed his neck, and unconsciously dodged away.

Xu Shen's smile froze, and his hand froze in midair.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

……

When Song Nanzhou arrived at the courtyard, he took advantage of the night to see Wen Xiang sitting on the cushioned Taishi chair in the courtyard, biting his thumb in a daze.

She has changed into women's clothes, and the lotus-colored gauze skirt is like water waves, which rarely makes her look very weak and quiet when she is quiet.

It must have been not long after bathing, and the long hair fell out, with a slight dampness.

"What's the fuss?" Governor Song Nan stepped his legs and sat on the stone table in front of her uninhibitedly.

Wen Xiang was taken aback: "Why are you here?" No, how did you know I was here? ”

Song Nanzhou sneered and said arrogantly: "Is it a secret that you are here?" ”

Wen Xiang's eyes widened, and she took a breath and said, "Isn't it a secret?" Is it already known to everyone? ”

"Not really." Song Nanzhou looked at her relieved look, "What, who are you afraid of being known?" Mrs. Xu or Mrs. Xu? ”

"You don't understand." Wen Xiang lay back and continued to bite her fingers.

How could he understand her mood of being fostered at this moment, because even she herself couldn't understand it.

The back of Xu Shen's silent departure before, for some reason, she was a little sad to watch.

Obviously she didn't do anything wrong, but why did she feel so guilty?

"I heard you had a wonderful day." Song Nanzhou didn't ask him what he didn't understand, but looked at her with the corners of his mouth hooked.

Such a person, wherever she goes, there will be trouble, how does she do it?

Wen Xiang was listless: "It's not very exciting, it's just as exciting." ”

The corners of Song Nanzhou's smiling mouth twitched slightly, "I'm not complimenting you." ”

She couldn't hear it, was he obviously sarcastic about her?

"I will feel more comfortable listening to your words as compliments." I didn't want Wen Xiang to respond very seriously.

was always angry with him, and Wen Xiang finally made a big move to deal with it.

Song Nanzhou was speechless for a rare time, and seeing her expression, he couldn't help asking, "Unhappy to live here?" ”

"You care about me?" Wen Xiang looked at him in surprise, this is even rarer than the sun coming out of the west.

"I'll just ask." Song Nanzhou's expression was calm.

"I said, how could you care about me kindly." Hitting her almost, she sighed, "I'm mourning." ”

Song Nanzhou raised his eyebrows.

Wen Xiang gave him a look of contempt for "I know that mortals don't understand my heart", "Mourn the freedom I just got and now I have lost." ”

"Pretentious." Song Nanzhou slammed mercilessly: "Did Xu Shen lock the door or tie your legs?" Or do you not want to go out from now on? ”

"None of them." Wen Xiang's eyes lit up, and then darkened again: "However, the hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is soft." ”

What she eats, drinks, and uses is all arranged by Xu Shen. If she is not obedient and restless, how bad it is.

Song Nanzhou looked at her with a look of surprise: "You also took mine and ate mine, why didn't you see you like this to me?" ”

"You're different." Wen Xiang replied without thinking.

"What's the difference?" Song Nanzhou asked.

Wen Xiang: "...... It's different! ”

But what is the difference, Wen Xiang can't say why.

Song Nanzhou looked at her, she looked at Song Nanzhou.

After a while, Song Nanzhou smiled coolly: "In the end, it's just that you care more about Xu Shen." ”

"He's me...... Xu Wenxiang's brother, of course I care more about him! Wen Xiang immediately said everything, and then felt that something was wrong: "I care more about what I say, as if I also care about you." Little brother Shizi, this is a bit shameless. ”

Song Nanzhou smiled coldly: "Who is shameless?" ”

Wen Xiang immediately coaxed: "I, say I can't do it myself." But what are you going to do when you come to me at night? Isn't it just to discuss with me who is shameless? ”

Song Nanzhou snorted coldly, put the white jade porcelain bottle in his hand heavily, and left like the wind.

Wen Xiang watched him go over the wall inexplicably, and reached out to take the small porcelain bottle on the stone table, "What is it?" ”

Curiously opened it and smelled it, a smell of medicine.

Medicine? What did he give her the medicine for? Moreover, he didn't tell her the dosage of this medicine, what did he mean by that?

This medicine is for her, right?

"Girl, where did this medicine come from?" Weiyu walked over with a mahogany tray and saw the porcelain bottle in Wen Xiang's hand at a glance, "This is like the best healing medicine from the palace." ”

"Wound medicine?" Wen Xiang was even more confused, why did Song Nanzhou send her wound medicine?

Weiyu smiled rarely: "The slave doesn't know that the girl already has a good medicine for injuries here, and the medicine she sent out to buy just now is not needed." ”

She said as she placed the tray on the stone table and took the porcelain vase from Wen Xiang's hand.

Wen Xiang saw that there was also a porcelain vase standing on the tray, but this porcelain vase was much duller and crudest than the one brought by Song Nanzhou.

"Why do you want to buy wound medicine, who is hurt?"

Weiyu looked at her blank look, and didn't know what to say, so she boldly took Wen Xiang's hand directly, "When I was serving the girl to take a bath, I saw a cut on the girl's arm, although the mouth is not deep, but if you don't deal with it, it will inevitably leave a scar." The girl is too careless about herself, doesn't she even know if she is hurt? It's no wonder that Xiangye doesn't worry that you are alone outside. ”

This was the first time Wen Xiang had heard Weiyu say so many words in one breath, which surprised her more than hearing that she was injured.

But soon she came back to her senses and looked at the exposed snow-white arm, "It's really hurt." ”

There was an irregular wound on the outside of the arm, the size of a fingernail on the thumb. Weiyu was right, she didn't know there was such a thing at all.

When was the injury?

Wen Xiang thought about it for a while, probably because he was injured by a stone on the ground when he rushed out to save the little boy from the Qingwang Mansion.

Her heart suddenly moved, Song Nanzhou knew that she was injured, so he specially sent her medicine at night?

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh, this person was too reserved. If it weren't for Weiyu finding out that she was injured, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to figure out the intention of him to send the wound medicine after a long time.

Caring about people is so awkward, it really makes people don't know what to say.

Wen Xiang's mood got better inexplicably.

Seeing the light rain that lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes to help her with medicine, Wen Xiang asked casually: "I ran out of the house that day, and Old Madam Xu didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

The action of applying the medicine in the light rain was very gentle, and Wen Xiang didn't feel it at all, and she had already begun to bandage it skillfully.

Wen Yan replied: "Originally, the old lady was making a fuss about throwing in, but the Xiangye went to a trip, and I didn't know what to say, so the old lady was appeased. However, on that day, a maid sent a letter to the elders of the clan, and the elders came to ask the girl about the old lady, but the old lady did not bear it, and only said that there was no such thing. ”

Wen Xiang was puzzled, and then realized: "The ugliness of the family should not be publicized." ”

What's more, Xu Wenxiang's life experience and Xu Shen's ulterior affection for Xu Wenxiang, Wen Xiang guessed that this must be the reason why Mrs. Xu dislikes Xu Wenxiang so much.

Weiyu raised her eyes slightly, "Yesterday, Xiangye and Mrs. Xiangye seemed to have a dispute, and Xiangye changed all the people in Mrs. Yard, leaving only Mama Cai." Early this morning, the Liu family rushed over when they heard the news, but they didn't even see Xiangye's face. ”

The Liu family must have come to support their daughter.

However: "Why did the two of them argue? ”

Light Rain paused: "It seems...... It seems to be for you, girl. ”

Wen Xiang opened her mouth and stammered, so Mrs. Xu also knew that her husband liked Xu Wenxiang?
