Chapter 216: Planning
When Liu Xuan came back in the evening, he saw the new room, and he had a different feeling for the girl named Liu Er in front of him.
Although Liu Er looks pampered, she is actually very down-to-earth and a rare good woman.
"This second floor is really good, there are a lot of plants around to block it, and no one will come here, not only that, but there are many spare rooms on the second floor, but I only cleaned up one, and I will clean up the other rooms tomorrow." Liu Er said, she poured a cup of hot tea by Liu Xuan when she spoke, "After a hard day, Childe must be very tired, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat." β
Liu Xuan looked at Liu Er in front of him, only to feel that his heart seemed to become extraordinarily soft, and he suddenly grabbed Liu Er's hand.
"Miss Liu'er......"
Liu Er looked at the grabbed hand and looked at Liu Xuan with affection.
Soon Liu Xuan let go of Liu Er's hand, "I'm sorry, I was rude." Liu Xuan quickly came back to his senses, he seemed to be worried about something, and he didn't indulge in it so quickly.
Liu Er, who originally thought that Liu Xuan was already tempted, saw Liu Xuan's reaction like this, and the light in her eyes quickly disappeared.
"I know that I come from a humble background, I have no background, I am a person who is destined to be disliked, no one will like me, only treat me as a plaything." Liu Er lowered her head and silently shed tears.
"How come, I'm just ......" Liu Xuan looked at Liu Er, very distressed by the woman in front of him, he felt guilty, he felt sorry for this woman, but he did remember other women in his heart, how could he be worthy of the woman in front of him.
"I know you have other women in mind, but it doesn't matter to me at all, I know you're good to me, and that's enough." Liu Er looked at Liu Xuan with teary eyes, she said everything clearly, clearly, everything clearly, just so that he could understand what she was thinking in her heart.
Liu Xuan grabbed Liu Er's hand again, "I don't know what my heart is for you, whether it's because of your beauty or because of something else, Liu Xuan will definitely treat you well in the future." Liu Xuan swore that he didn't dare to promise anything else, but he definitely had to be good to the woman in front of him.
After hearing this, Liu Er immediately threw herself into Liu Xuan's arms, she was really very moved, God was kind to her, and even gave her the opportunity to meet the man she wanted to cherish, even if it was in a dream, even if it was all fake, she was willing, just because she was so eager to have someone treat her well.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Xiaocai came to Liu Xuan's house again, and learned that Liu Xuan had lived outside and would rarely go home in the future, so he left Liu Xuan's house in a lost place.
"Brother Xuan, do you really want to leave Xiaocai?" Xiaocai looked at the people coming and going on the street, she just felt that it was not interesting at all, as long as she was with him on weekdays, no matter what she did, she felt very interesting and happy, but today, no matter what she did, she felt very boring and very boring.
"Have you heard, the daughter of the Wang family in the alley next door to us was taken by a son of the Gu family, and she will send someone to marry tomorrow, although she is a concubine, but she has given a hundred taels of silver, and there are many, many dowries, I envy the dead."
"Is this true? That daughter of the Wang family is not very good-looking, not as beautiful as my daughter. β
"Don't put gold on your face, the daughter of the Wang family is famous for her temperament, just like Xiaocai in our alley, she is a big beauty. Who doesn't know about this. β
Xiaocai walked through the alley and heard the neighbors chatting, if it was before, she would be envious, but now, her heart doesn't seem to be so envious.
Back home, she saw what her father and mother were planning.
"I heard that the daughter of the Wang family was taken by the son of the Gu family, I think our Xiaocai is not bad, maybe she will also be accepted as a concubine, it is better to ......," Xiaocai's father said.
"Gu family? Is it the rich Gu family? When Xiaocai's mother heard about the Gu family, she cheered up.
"It's not, it's the Gu family with a lot of money."
"When the son of the Gu family comes to marry tomorrow, let's dress up Xiaocai and let her go over there too, and she will definitely be compared to that Wang girl at once." Xiaocai's mother planned.
"I'll see it." Xiaocai's dad is in favor of this plan.
Outside the door, Xiaocai put down the bamboo basket that had nothing, sat on the steps, and looked at the well in a daze, she was used to her father's thoughts, they always wanted her to marry a rich man, she also wanted to marry a rich man, it was best that person was not ugly, rich, and good to her, so she felt content. Because of this, her family doesn't have to live this kind of hard life anymore.
It is said that poor couples mourn everything, all because they have no money, so her father will keep beating her mother, and her mother will always live in resentment, as long as there is money, these problems will definitely not exist, she must marry a rich man, this is a sure thing.
It's just that...... She still wanted to go out to the mountains with that person to chop wood, although she was a little tired, but she was very happy. Only when she is with him will she be truly happy in her heart.
But her brother Xuan had left her, she didn't know where he went, and she didn't know why he left her, she was very sad, but she couldn't tell anyone about this sadness, she could only hide it in her heart.
The daughter of the Wang family wants to marry the son of the Gu family, and this incident has caused a sensation in four or five alleys, and the people in the alleys have come to join in the fun, wanting to see what it is like for a rich man to marry a daughter-in-law.
Xiaocai was called up by her father and mother early in the morning, washed her face and dressed up, and put the clothes she was reluctant to wear on Xiaocai's body, at first glance, it really looked like a flower.
"Although you gave birth to a money-losing goods, this money-losing goods is really beautiful, not like you, not like me, and I don't know which king you look like." Xiaocai's father looked at Xiaocai's appearance and said with a complicated look in his eyes.
When Xiao Cainiang heard this, she didn't say anything. I don't want to provoke a beating at this time. After all, today is an important day, maybe she can escape from this kind of ghost day from now on.
If you follow the direction of the firecrackers, you will see many, many people gathered in the alley just to see the bride and groom.
Xiaocai was pushed to the front, and as long as people came out of it, they could see Xiaocai at a glance.
But I waited a long time, but I didn't wait for the man to come out of it.
After inquiring, I learned that the person who picked up the relatives was not the Gu Gongzi at all, but the housekeeper of Gu Gongzi's family, and the Gu Gongzi did not come at all.
"Let's go, go home. Hurry home. Xiaocai's father said impatiently, and directly pulled Xiaocai and Xiaocai's mother to go home.
Walked to the house,Xiaocai's father began to scold,Vent all the dissatisfaction on Xiaocai and Xiaocai's mother,Xiaocai, who usually doesn't get beaten,This time I was also beaten a few timesγ
Xiaocai's mother has been protecting Xiaocai, she didn't say anything, just hugged Xiaocai, where the bamboo stick fell, Xiaocai's body was somewhere.
Xiaocai, who was being protected, was so frightened that she couldn't cry, she clutched her mother's clothes tightly, she only felt very sad, and her heart seemed to be struggling, but she didn't know what it was.
"If you do this again, marry her to Wang Dahu, and that Wang Dahu said to give our family fifty taels of silver." Xiaocai's father was tired and sat on a stool to rest.
"No, that Wang Dahu is old, and his wife is a well-known tigress, Xiaocai will definitely be tossed to death if she marries, you must find a richer family." Xiao Cainiang finally spoke.
"You say every day that you want to find a rich man for your daughter to marry, there are so many rich people in Linglong City, who can you see her, either there is a lady in the family, or you can't look down on our family's family background, do you think anyone can marry a rich son like the daughter of the Wang family in the alley next door? Don't be wordy, if you are verbose, I will sell her to the Qinglou, where she makes a lot of money, and she can meet many rich people. When Xiaocai's father said this, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of the benefits of selling into the Qinglou.
"She's your own daughter." Xiao Cai Niang protected Xiao Cai and said very uncomfortably.
"Who knows if it's biological, you don't want me at all like this, how can it be my child, it must be which man you gave birth to." When Xiaocai's father talked about this topic, he suddenly got angry again, and directly took the bamboo stick and pumped it against Xiaocainiang's back.
Xiaocai hid in Xiaocainiang's arms, feeling the trembling of her mother's son, her mother has always been very uncomfortable, has been patient, on that expressionless face, is hoping that Xiaocai can marry a good man.
Xiaocai's mother was beaten and her skin was opened, and she was in pain, and Xiaocai's father went out to drink and took away the only copper coin in the family.
"Mother, what should I do at home in the future? Now I don't even have the money to give my mother medicine. Mother's ......" Xiaocai grabbed her mother's hand, looked at the back that was bleeding out, and only felt that her heart was dripping blood.
Xiaocai's mother's lips turned white, she looked at Xiaocai, "Xiaocai, my mother will not live long, when my mother dies, you will leave here, you must not be caught by anyone, you have to marry a good family." β
"Mother, you won't die, Xiaocai won't let her mother die, Xiaocai will find a way to get the money, and she will definitely cure her mother's illness." Xiaocai said crying.
Leaving from her mother's house, Xiaocai had a bold idea in her heart, she heard that there is a rule in the Qinglou, if it is a girl from a white family, the money earned can be taken sixty percent, she knows that she is beautiful, if she goes to the Qinglou, maybe she can earn a lot of silver, and then her mother will not suffer anymore.
