31 Summons
"Knowing so much, aren't you afraid of being killed by the old man?" Xiao Nan looked at Xiao Ci and asked.
Xiao Ci sneered: "So what? People like me have nothing, and they can only fight for everything by taking their lives. How can a young master like you, who was born with fine clothes and fine food, understand how difficult it is for people like us to live in the world?
Just by me, a weak woman, destined to be a current person for the rest of my life, how can I be like you men, I can still seek fame and do business, all I can do is to do my best and firmly seize every opportunity.
In my life, I will never be just a little subordinate forever! ”
Her eyes are full of determination, and she is indeed a strange woman at all costs.
"You...... It's so different from the one I knew before, what have you been through these days? Xiao Nan said.
"It doesn't matter what I've been through, it's just that I suddenly wanted to open it." Xiao Ci said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, after coming out of your yard, I should have been sent back to my hometown, and I should have gone back to my hometown to find a farmer to marry, and I would be a peasant woman for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to do that."
In this house, there was once a distant cousin, she worked under the wife of an aunt who was in charge of a blue-clothed slave, so she kindly got me to their yard, but, I never expected that she was such an honest person, and she would be involved in the competition for favor of several aunts, so in front of all of us, she was framed, and her aunt found her man, and asked someone to cut her into meat slices with the death penalty!
I want all of us to see it! Call the chicken and set an example for the monkey! I'll never forget the howl she screamed when she died!
At that time, I knew one thing, if I want to survive in this Xiao family, I can't be muddy - those aunts and wives are more or less cheap maids from girls, and now they can be powerful. So why can't I? ”
Xiao Nan listened to her in a daze, but she didn't expect that the Xiao family's terrifying lynching was not only used by the eldest master, but also those powerful subordinates who arbitrarily deprived people of their lives!
In such a demon cave, he couldn't judge whether the path Xiao Ci chose was good or bad, he could only warn: "The Xiao family is a fire pit, you should be careful yourself, this Xiao family, one day, will cause a big disaster, it is not a bad thing for you to get out as soon as possible." ”
"So the key to my escape is thirteen young you! Only you have a good relationship with that Miss Yao, me, and that Wanyue, all have hope of living. Not only can we live, but we will also enjoy endless glory and wealth! Xiao Ci grinned, and there was a bit of an eerie feeling.
Xiao Nan sighed and said, "I'm really shouldering a heavy responsibility. ”
At this time, Xiao Ci was about to leave, but a quick knock suddenly sounded outside the door.
Xiao Ci's face changed, and she hurriedly found a hidden corner to hide.
Wanyue came in in a panic at this time and asked, "Thirteen Shao, should we open the door?" ”
"Since you find the door, open the door, you can't hide." Xiao Nan pretended to be calm and said, in fact, he was completely confused, why would someone come to the door at this time?
After Wanyue opened the courtyard door, she saw a group of servants rushing in, and the group of people shouted in the courtyard: "Thirteen young!!" Please, big lord!! We're here to lift you! ”
It turned out that they really prepared a chair and carried it over, Xiao Nan's face changed when he heard this, but he still stabilized his mind and said by the window: "What is the eldest master looking for me?" ”
"Naturally, it's a good thing!" The head of the domestic servant said with a hippie smile.
Xiao Ci squatted in the corner and heard these people talking, and suddenly stood up, she boldly said: "I am the maid next to the young master, I will go with him!" ”
She's going to take a gamble! Betting his net worth and life on Xiao Nan!
Seeing this, Xiao Nan said, "Okay, I'll come out now." ”
He straightened his clothes, then walked out of the porch on crutches.
Xiao Ci also followed in a hurry. Only Wanyue looked frightened, standing aside and not knowing what to do.
Xiao Nan sat on the chair and said to Wanyue: "Look after the family." ”
With that, the servants carried him out of the courtyard gate.
Wanyue chased them out of the gate, watched their figures gradually move away, suddenly covered her face with her hands, and choked - she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse for the thirteen young people to suddenly go to see the eldest master this time, the only thing she could do was to keep silently praying to God and Buddha in her heart, praying for Xiao Nan's safety.
Xiao Nan didn't wait for the dinner party to start, and returned to his courtyard in advance, which was originally a small crime, but at worst, it could be dealt with as a crime of disrespect, and the rod would be punished to death; To put it mildly, in fact, no one cares about him, and it is not a big deal.
But along the way he was carried, the servants who followed him and hugged him didn't seem to talk about this crime at all, but all kinds of hippie smiling faces, all saying that Xiao Nan came to work from time to time and was valued by the eldest master.
Xiao Nan also entered the private living compound exclusive to the lord for the first time, the courtyard is located at the back of the Xiao family, which simply occupies one-third of the area of the entire mansion.
The reason why I say this is because the eldest master seems to be pursuing the strategy of three holes of the cunning rabbit, and has arranged several private residences in the Xiao Mansion, and no one knows which residence he spends the night in every day.
The whole garden in the garden is shrouded in the glass curtain under the roof, like a huge greenhouse, as soon as you enter the door, you can see that the bright flowers planted in the inside are in full bloom, decorate the rockery in the nursery in front of the door, it is actually a huge piece of jade rough, the outer skin has been carefully polished, revealing the green lines like the waterfall, just this rockery, it is enough to be priceless.
And from the steps of the antechamber, it is all made of gold, and it is inlaid with the fine wood of the house, which is really brilliant.
Before Xiao Nan entered the door, he was taken to the side room by the maid guarding the steps to change into a brand new robe, his original robes were all dark, but the new clothes were gold and silver embroidered moon-white robes, his hair was also carefully cared for, and his shoes were also changed.
Even the garment is incense-scented.
It's just that the maid brought a pair of shoes, and he can only wear one.
After getting dressed neatly, he was led by the maid from the corridor of the side door to the front hall, Xiao Ci has been following aside, and at this time he was still thinking about going forward, but was stopped by those maids, and said coldly: "The big master's house, how can a person like you enter it?" It's already a great gift to let you into the courtyard, and I'm waiting here honestly. ”
Xiao Nan was taken all the way to the front hall of the eldest lord, of course, he could only enter through the side door, and before he entered the door, he heard the eldest lord and the handsome man talking and laughing in the front hall, and even heard Miss Yao's voice from time to time.
Xiao Nan stood at the door and listened to the chat inside, and suddenly found that they were chatting about some ordinary parents, and the eldest man simply turned into a respectable and loving old uncle, and from time to time he let out hearty laughter and jokes with the so-called "niece" Miss Yao.
And all this is so hypocritical in Xiao Nan's opinion. That cruel and ruthless old man actually made such a humane move, even a subordinate in the Xiao Mansion can see how fake it is, the only explanation is,
The eldest master is really afraid of the handsome, otherwise he would not hesitate to make such a disgusting act of hypocrisy.
After the next person reported it, Xiao Nan was allowed to enter.
It's strange to say that at this tense moment of direct confrontation with the eldest master, Xiao Nan became more and more calm.
Probably at the moment of life and death, his brain forced him to calm down and act to save himself.
After entering the lobby on crutches, under the bright lights, Xiao Nan looked at the nobles in this room, the eldest lord and the eldest handsome were sitting on Western-style chairs across the coffee table, drinking tea and chatting with a pipe, while Miss Yao was sitting on her father's side, sitting in a lady's position.
He pondered for a while, and then like a real son seeing his father, he calmly greeted: "Handsome, father, the child greets you two." ”
After that, with the help of the attendant maid, he made a greeting salute.
"Ouch, eldest nephew, you don't need so many courtesies! It's thirteen! They've grown so tall! Hahaha! Looks much better than my two sons! Lao Xiao, you are really good at life! The fat-headed and big-eared handsome man smiled politely.
"Boss, you've won the prize." Xiao Nan got up and stood on the side with his hands down.
The handsome looked at Xiao Nan's eyes, obviously implying disdain and disgust, but he still laughed and said: "Where is it, it's just a dog who doesn't become a talent." Thirteen, your Uncle Yao appreciates you, I heard that you know a few words of foreign language, Lingling wants you to be her tutor, what do you think? ”
"It is a blessing for a child to be appreciated by the handsome and young lady!" Xiao Nan glanced at Miss Yao and said.
It must have been that she talked about herself in front of the handsome and the old man, so there would be such a "summoned" drama.
"Haha, it's rare that the children of both of us are so fateful, it seems that we will have to move around more in the future!" Dashuai said.
"What? Are you finally going to settle down this time? Don't fight in the north and south? The old man asked, smoking his pipe.
"People are old, don't run away. When I'm tired, I want to learn from you and live a good life as a fairy for a few years. Da Shuai sighed.
The eldest lord asked rhetorically: "What about your ambitions back then?" ”
"Haha, ambition, leave it to the next generation to complete! I want to be the emperor now. The big marshal looked at Xiao Nan after speaking, as if he asked deliberately: "Your thirteenth young master looks good everywhere, and he is also a handsome guy, but unfortunately why is there a leg missing?" ”
"Children are naughty, when they were young, the brick wall was smashed, and it was good to be able to pick up a life." The old man said.
He obviously didn't want to tell the story of the thirteen young man's punishment.
"Tsk, that's not good." Da Shuai's eyes flickered, although his eyes were small, they were extremely capable, and he only heard him say again, "If it weren't for the fact that this virtuous nephew was missing a leg, I really wanted to give you a regiment leader or something to exercise." ”
"Dad, how can the head of the regiment be the one who is missing a leg? Don't you often say that some generals break their hands and feet on the battlefield, and don't they still lead the troops? Miss Yao said.
"Lingling is really sharp-toothed, but this person of Thirteen is not material for leading soldiers at first glance." The old man said, "I think he can only teach Lingling two unwritten foreign words." ”
At this time, he waved his hand, and a servant showed Xiao Nan a seat, Xiao Nan sat down, and tried his best to play a good role as a filial son and grandson, in this family-like chat, he answered a few words from time to time, as if he was really a family with the eldest master who was a father and a son.
