Chapter 46: Confession

Time flies, it has reached the end of August, and Xiao Ruixue has been living in the back house for many days, just to be able to serve Zhu Yan with all her heart.

The most unexpected thing for Xiao Ruixue was that Lu Zixuan actually volunteered to treat Zhu Yan, Xiao Ruixue didn't dare to believe it at first, but later found out that this little lady was really good at medical skills, especially proficient in dispensing and acupuncture. Xiao Ruixue once curiously asked Lu Zixuan where she learned her medical skills, Lu Zixuan insisted that it was ancestral, Xiao Ruixue didn't know the truth, so she could only believe it.

Later, Lu Zixuan even took over Yun'er's decoction work, and tied Zhu Yan with a few injections every day, and after just a few days, Zhu Yan's body was greatly improved, and even her face began to recover a little ruddy, which couldn't help but make Xiao Ruixue overjoyed.

"Is it delicious?" Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but smile when she looked at Lu Zixuan, who kept pulling desserts into her mouth, while Yun'er stood aside and stared.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious! My sister knows that I love sweets, so I bought so much, so thank you so much! ”

"Don't thank me, I'm also here to repay you for this little miracle doctor! However, although Yufu Ji's dim sum is good, you can't eat so much at once, it will break your teeth! ”

"It's okay, sister, I still haven't got all my teeth replaced! If it's broken, it happens to be pulled out and replaced with a new one, hehe! ”

“。。。”

"Why don't you eat some of my sister too?"

"No, I don't have a sweet tooth."

"Then Sister Yun'er have something to eat?"

"Wow, wow, thank you, Sister Zixuan!" Yun'er was already a little impatient, and she couldn't wait to put her hand into the food box immediately.

Seeing the situation, Lu Zixuan immediately opened her hand to cover the food box, she buried her head in picking left and right, and finally picked out the smallest piece of dim sum, handed it to Yun'er and said, "No thanks, Sister Yun'er!" But that little look was simply wonderful, and there was clearly a hint of flesh pain.

Due to Xiao Ruixue's return, the Xiao family completely relieved their worries, so Xiao Bowen repacked and set off for Suzhou, and Lin Yuexian was afraid that her husband would be alone outside to mess with flowers and grass, so she went with her. As soon as the little couple left, the big room was immediately deserted, although Xiao Hui was still in Jinling, but he was busy with affairs, always going out early and returning late, except for a few maids and servants on Mrs. Gu's side, there was no one to talk to during the day. Mrs. Gu was born in a scholarly family, so she naturally didn't want to talk about trivial things every day, so she always stayed in Zhu Yan's room these days, chatting or playing chess with Zhu Yan who was recuperating every day, and she was also happy.

Every day when it was close to dusk, Xiao Ruixue would personally send Mrs. Gu back, and today she happened to meet Xiao Hui who had just returned home on the way back.

"Siniang!" Xiao Hui shouted happily from afar.

"Daddy." Xiao Ruixue replied casually, her eyelids only raised, and she was about to leave.

"Stop, Siniang! Why have you ignored your father since you came back? ”

When Xiao Ruixue heard this, she had to stop and look at Xiao Hui, but she still looked like she was ignoring her.

Xiao Hui walked up to her and scolded with a smile: "You stinky girl, are you still angry with your father after so long?" It's really as careful as your mother! ”

Xiao Ruixue said lightly: "Dad can listen to outsiders and suspect his daughter, can't his daughter be angry with his father?" What's more, my father never seemed to be humble to me! ”

Xiao Hui frowned: "There is a way that the son does not say anything about the father's fault, it seems that you are really spoiled, and you dare to talk to your father like this?" ”

"The Book of Rites is about the son, not the child, and I am not among them!"

"This?" Xiao Hui was dumbfounded, and finally showed a wry smile and said: "Forget it, you girl has been clever since she was a child, and your father can't argue with you!" Good daughter, Dad apologizes to you solemnly today, I just ask you to forgive Dad, okay? After that, he was going to solemnly bow to Xiao Ruixue.

Seeing the situation, Xiao Ruixue hurriedly supported Xiao Hui: "Dad, I can't help it, I'm joking, you can't take it seriously!" ”

Xiao Hui smiled: "Then you don't blame Daddy?" ”

"No wonder!" Xiao Ruixue pouted, and said, "Dad, I see that you have been going out early and returning late recently, don't be busy, some things can be put away!" ”

"Hey, dad wants to too, but I can't help it! Since your accident that day, Jinling's business has been re-managed by Da Lang, but he went to Suzhou the day before yesterday, and this burden naturally fell back on his father. But there are still a lot of things waiting for my father in Jingzhou, and my father wants to pass as soon as possible, so he wants the shopkeeper Hu to take over the main affairs of Jinling, but the old guy can't bear the big fart, and he has to ask me about the meaning of the owner, which is no different from my own responsibility! ”

"The shopkeeper Hu is experienced, but he is old, I worked with him before, and I found that he is a little not merit but not faulty, such a person you let him be a deputy, it will definitely not be possible to use it for the main work! Dad, in my opinion, why don't you promote some young and promising shopkeepers? ”

"It's not that there are young and promising, but since they are young, it means that they have not been working in my Xiao family for a long time, how dare my father reuse them indiscriminately?"

In the final analysis, it is still the word "suspicious", Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she knew that her father was such a personality, and it would be difficult to change it in this life, but she couldn't be indifferent to her father's current predicament. "Dad, if you don't wait for my mother to get better, I'll continue to do this main thing, right?"

Xiao Hui paused slightly when he heard this, and said, "Dad thinks you did a good job before, and I did think about it, but your mother may not agree." ”

"Did you mention it to my mother, when did this happen?"

"I mentioned it when I visited your mother yesterday."

"Then what is my mother's attitude?"

"Naturally, it was obstructed, and your mother was still angry with me, saying that I didn't care about your daughter at all. Hey, you started in the shop, and it's understandable for her to think so. ”

After separating from Xiao Hui, Xiao Ruixue returned to Zhu Yan's room with a few thoughts, at this time she found that Yi Cui and Yun'er were standing on the edge of the bed laughing, and Zhu Yan was also sitting on the bed and couldn't stop laughing, but Lu Zixuan squatted on the ground, learning from the cat licking its paws for a while, and learning from the monkey scratching its ears and cheeks for a while.

"Meow-meow-meow-"

"Squeak-squeak-squeak-"

"What is this doing?" Xiao Ruixue asked puzzled.

Yun'er laughed: "Miss, this is interesting!" Just now I was playing chess with my wife, Zixuan was watching the chess on the sidelines, but she kept saying that my chess stinks, I am angry and want to compete with her, who knows that her chess skills are not as good as mine, and she has lost three games in a row, so now she is admitting punishment! ”

Xiao Ruixue said: "Yun'er, she is a guest, and she is still young, can't you let her?" Mother, why are you watching from the sidelines? ”

Although Zhu Yan's complexion was much better than before, her body was still a little weak, she leaned on the head of the bed and said, "One of them is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what can my mother do?" She couldn't help but hide her mouth and snicker.

Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but look at Lu Zixuan who was squatting on the ground, Lu Zixuan also happened to look good, but she continued to lick her palm: "Meow-"

"It's still addictive, isn't it?"

"Meow - sister, you don't have to worry about it, Sister Yun'er originally wanted my dim sum, and I won't let her succeed, but I think that being a man is to admit defeat in betting, so now I will learn whatever she asks me to learn!" Just trying to cheat me on my snacks, no way! ”

“。。。”

"Zixuan, it's okay not to let me eat your dim sum, but you lost three games to me, and now you still haven't learned the last thing!"

After hearing this, Lu Zixuan immediately landed her hands and feet on the ground at the same time, arched her body high, and looked up at Yun'er angrily: "Wang-Wang-Wang-"

Xiao Ruixue: "... ”

After Lu Zixuan fulfilled her gambling contract, it was almost time for dinner, and there were not many people in the Xiao family, so even personal maids like Yicui and Yun'er had to go to the kitchen and backroom to help. It's just that the skills of the Xiao family's chef are still quite good, Lu Zixuan has been full of praise after eating a few meals, she has not been in the Xiao family for a few days, but she is familiar with the cook, at this time, as soon as she heard that she was going to eat, her eyes lit up, and she followed Yun'er and them away.

There were only Xiao Ruixue and Zhu Yan's mother and daughter left in the room, and Zhu Yan couldn't help laughing: "Ruixue, where did you find such a cute little girl, who not only understands medical skills, but is also so cute?" ”

"Zixuan's origin, everything I know has been told to my mother, I really met it halfway."

Zhu Yan nodded with a smile: "That's really fate!" ”

"It's quite fateful!" Xiao Ruixue also smiled, and then she thought for a moment, and then said, "Mother, I happened to meet him when my father came back today." ”

"Oh, your dad has been busy lately, hasn't he?"

"Yes! Recently, not only the rice shop, but even the silk shop has a lot of things to take precautions, and my father has to worry about the business in Jingzhou, so he has been quite tired recently! ”

Zhu Yan's face showed pity for her husband: "It's really not easy! He has been sheltering this family for so many years, but unfortunately his mother is just a woman and can't share his worries! ”

"Mother, I want to help my father, I want to continue to be the head of Jinling." Xiao Ruixue looked at Zhu Yan and said.

Zhu Yan fell silent for a moment and said, "Mother doesn't agree!" You were arrested by the government in the rice shop before, and then you were put in prison before something happened, and almost let your mother lose you, how could your mother let you take risks? ”

"Mother, I know you're worried about me, but what happened that time was purely accidental, and it will never happen again in this life!"

"Mother doesn't care so much, my mother just wants you to stay in the back house, and then marry you to a good family in a few years, I hope you will be safe and secure for the rest of your life!"

After hearing this, Xiao Ruixue felt a deep unwillingness in her heart, and she said: "Mother, your idea is not wrong, and the child also knows that you are for my good!" But have you ever thought that these are not children's ambitions? ”

Zhu Yan was surprised: "Girl, what do you mean by ambition?" ”

"Mother, although the child is your daughter, but since she was a child, the child's heart has always compared herself to a man! My child knows that some goals are too far away to be achieved in this life, but I want to at least do something like my brothers, instead of being a woman for the rest of my life! ”

Zhu Yan felt enough shock at this moment, she thought that Xiao Ruixue was born and raised by herself, even every bone in her body could be felt clearly by herself, but to this day, she knew that her daughter had such an unknown side. Zhu Yan felt deeply ashamed of her dereliction of duty as a mother, she said: "Girl, my mother regrets it a little, my mother originally thought that she could train you to be a talented girl, so she taught you to read and write since she was a child, and let you read with your brothers, but I didn't expect you to read too many books, but you had such unrealistic ideas!" However, how did Zhu Yan know that this was not a question of whether to read or not, but because Xiao Ruixue's heart originally hid a strong man's heart.

Xiao Ruixue only knelt heavily in front of Zhu Yan's bed at the moment: "Mother, I beg you, let me do what I want to do!" ”

Zhu Yan stared at Xiao Ruixue for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh: "That's it, since you father and daughter both want to go together, what's the use of my mother's opposition?" I want my daughter to be not only safe and well, but also happy. ”

A few days later, Zhu Yan's illness finally fully recovered, and Xiao Ruixue changed into a white shirt again and stepped out of her room full of joy.
