He Jiaqi got on the sedan chair almost in complete confusion.

Her cognition of the Xiao family she is about to marry into only stays in the muttering of a few aunts and mothers-in-law across the wall, at present, she only knows that the Xiao family's wealth is great, and the family she is in is just a small merchant in decline.

She has a half-sister, but that sister hanged herself because she was unwilling to marry into the Xiao family.

She was forcibly covered with a red hijab by her fierce stepmother, who was like a tigress, and went out of the house under the leadership of several mothers-in-law.

When she left the house, she secretly lifted the red hijab and took a look, only to see that the fat stepmother did not shy away from receiving the money from the person who came to greet her.

And what can she, a weak woman, do? In order to prevent the bride from escaping, the wedding team also sent a lot of domestic servants to stare at her, and she could only helplessly get on the sedan chair.

Today is the day of the Xiao family's great joy, the whole Xiao City is once again in an uproar, the streets are full of lights, this city is like the Xiao family's private property, the Xiao family coughs, the whole city will catch a cold, the Xiao family will do happy events, and all the streets will also be lit up.

But this grand celebration is definitely not for He Jiaqi alone, because more than a dozen young masters of the Xiao family, including the youngest young master who is a few years old, also married on this day.

What the eldest master of the Xiao family decides, who in Xiao City dares to talk nonsense? So all you see on the street are the hypocritical smiling faces of people saying goodbye, there are grand lion dances, and gongs and drum teams, which are full of pomp and circumstance. However, these pomp and circumstance do not belong to He Jiaqi.

Because her wedding party consisted only of the palanquin man and a few family members watching her, she walked from the street for a long time before turning into the alley, and then came all the way to a side door.

Even, her team didn't even have firecrackers and gongs, drums, and suona. This is because she was born poor, and the pomp and circumstance on the street were prepared for the noble lady to marry into the Xiao family.

It turned out that in the days of Xiao Nan's absence, the power structure of the Xiao family underwent another reshuffle. Xiao Nan was originally in power in the Xiao family for a while, but after he was sent to Shanghai, the eldest lord suddenly came back, and announced the rectification of the internal affairs of the Xiao Mansion, took away all Xiao Nan's privileges, and assigned Xiao Nan to his original small courtyard located in the outermost courtyard of the Xiao family.

And the servants who originally followed Xiao Nan were all lowered by three levels and scattered to various courtyards to work as coolies, and the Meiyue shopping mall that Xiao Nan had built with great difficulty was also taken over by other young masters, and the shares of Xiao Nan and the seventh young master were squeezed to nothing.

The seventh young master was even raided from the family property, but fortunately he saved his life, but he, like Xiao Nan, was also assigned and transferred to the countryside to manage the yarn factory that he had built before, but now it has been half-dead by the Xiao Mansion.

Overnight, the thirteen young people who used to be in the Xiao family wanted wind and rain became the "abandoned son" who everyone disdained and dared not deal with.

Naturally, He Jiaqi, who was assigned to marry Xiao Nan, was also treated hastily, she was nominally a young grandmother, but she was not even allowed to enter the main entrance, and could only enter through the back door, which was the least influential.

So, after He Jiaqi was yelled at and threw off the sedan chair, she was faced with a cold back door, and after an old servant opened the back door, what appeared in front of her was a vicious fat woman who was on par with her stepmother in this era, dressed in fancy clothes, extremely festive, probably because today was the Xiao family's big day, and her head was full of funny-looking red flowers.

I saw this fat woman waving her handkerchief at He Jiaqi and said, "You are the young grandmother who married the thirteenth young woman, come with me, I am your Xi Po, responsible for teaching you something." ”

Saying that, she motioned to He Jiaqi, who was holding the red hijab with one hand, to follow her, He Jiaqi hurriedly put the hijab down, but the fat woman said: "Hey, don't fix the one that you don't have, take it down, the thirteen young ones are not at home now, and no one will uncover the red hijab for you, although you are the thirteenth young grandmother, but the rules in this house are very big, if you say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, not only will no one treat you as a person, but you will even lose your life!" ”

Her tone was like a superior scolding a subordinate, five people and six people, which made He Jiaqi feel very embarrassed, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and she could only respond submissively.

So the fat woman babbled about burying her, and took her to the residence of the thirteen young people near the back door.

As soon as the gate of the courtyard entered, He Jiaqi felt that his eyes lit up, this courtyard was already big enough for ordinary modern citizens, and it was antiquely arranged.

After she entered, the maid who was cleaning the yard was taken aback, and hurriedly came over to ask for peace, it turned out that the maid who was guarding here was none other than Furong who had returned to Xiao Mansion in advance, and she voluntarily demoted from the eldest maid to the lowest lowly maid, just to be able to serve Xiao Nan again.

But because Furong first asked He Jiaqi to say goodbye, called "Meet the young grandmother", and then said hello to the fat woman, the fat woman slapped her hard and scolded: "A slave who looks down on people with dog eyes!" Why don't you even look at it! ”

It turned out that when Furong followed Xiao Nan's side before, her grade was very high, and a woman like a fat woman had to nod her head in front of her, calling her a "girl", and now that the fat woman villain was in power, and seeing Furong being demoted, she naturally had a kind of malice of revenge and oppression against her, and she seized the opportunity to embarrass Furong and wanted to get a deformed sense of satisfaction.

When He Jiaqi saw the fat woman beating people, she suddenly felt that Furong was the one who worked hard to save money and was bullied by the boss and vicious customers, so she grabbed the fat woman's hand without thinking: "Stop!" Beat someone for such a trivial matter! You're too arrogant, aren't you? ”

The fat woman was stunned, she couldn't imagine that He Jiaqi would dare to contradict herself, so she immediately exposed her true colors, only to see her shake off He Jiaqi's hand, push her again, and scold: "What do you think you are?!" With your humble background, you really think that you can be a young grandmother in the Xiao family to show off your might?! Do you know what kind of shitty the man you're marrying is?! The biggest joke of the Xiao family now is that there are thirteen young people! ”

"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult the thirteen young people! Furong said angrily, it doesn't matter how she is abused, but she definitely can't tolerate the fat woman slandering Xiao Nan like this!

"Yo! You little grape! Do you think you're still that first-class maid? Are you still here to make a face with me? My mother will let you know what the rules are today! The fat woman tore her face, her fierce face was revealed, and she grabbed Furong's hair and beat and kicked it, where is Furong the opponent of the strong fat woman? Seeing that he was weak to fight back, He Jiaqi rushed up to help and helped tear away the crazy fat woman, and the three of them scuffled for a while, and finally He Jiaqi and Furong reversed the situation of this melee due to the large number of people, and the two turned defeat into victory - Furong was fed up with fat bullying on weekdays, and because she insulted Xiao Nan, she sent out all her anger, and she never fights,

At this time, he also clenched his fist with all his might.

After a while, the fat woman was beaten and begged for mercy, and the family outside must have heard her scream like a pig, so they rushed in and pulled the three of them apart.

"You're dead!! You wait for me! Ouch~~~ It hurts me to death~~~ You two who killed a thousand knives came out to sell people!! The fat woman covered her face and screamed while cursing, and was dragged away by several family members.

Those family members didn't want to bother with the nosy here, so they all left after pulling the shelf, and in the empty yard, only Furong and He Jiaqi, who had messy hair and untidy clothes because of the fight.

It is rare to meet a girl of the same age who can "share the same hatred" with him, He Jiaqi just instinctively felt that Furong must be a kind girl, so he stretched out his hand and said: "My name is He Jiaqi, can I ...... Can you be a friend? ”

"Young grandma! I'm in trouble! That princess will definitely not give up, and she doesn't know how to fix us! Fleur came to her senses and said worriedly, "What if...... If she wants to use any poisonous scheme, you will say that I did it alone, and I will bear all the blame alone. ”

"How?! I'm also involved in this, and we're all in trouble! He Jiaqi didn't know where a pride came from, so he said it without thinking.

Fleur was stunned, she had never seen such a straightforward girl as He Jiaqi, and He Jiaqi was so approachable, it was like Miss Wanyue, whom she respected the most besides Xiao Nan.

She didn't shed a single tear in the bullying she had suffered for many days, but after seeing a frank and heartwarming girl like He Jiaqi, she couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

Because, after all, she is not alone.

"The slave's name is Fleur, young grandmother." She sniffed and saluted.

"Fleur...... Sister? Hey, you don't have to be too restrained, in fact, I'm not a young grandmother, I was just sold by my stepmother, alas, anyway, you don't use so much etiquette, we are all the same people, you will call me Jiaqi in the future, let's be good friends and best friends! He Jiaqi is actually quite cheerful, because she has learned how to face the hardships of life strongly.

Fleur wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Young grandmother...... No...... Jiaqi, I think the thirteenth young man will definitely like you very much......"

"Thirteen Less...... What kind of person is he? You even defend him even if you are punished, he must ...... It can't be a bad man, right? He Jiaqi couldn't help but have a little affection for Xiao Nan.

"Thirteen Young is the best, gentlest and most compassionate person in the world." When Furong talked about Xiao Nan, her eyes seemed to have light.

Because, Xiao Nan did bring a light called "hope" to her life.

"Wow, you say that as if you're in love with him." He Jiaqi said with a smile.

"Don't say that! I am absolutely not qualified to think about Thirteen, please don't say this in front of him, otherwise I really won't be able to live! Fleur covered her face and said, "Well, I'll take you to change your clothes first, and I'll tell you slowly what kind of person he is." ”

——————————

On the day Wanyue got on the steamer, she wore the high heels given by Xiao Nan, which even caused a lot of heads, because Xiao Nan really liked the flashy decorative style. For example, the pair of fuchsia suede heels she wore were inlaid with very luxurious large crystals, and some passers-by peeked at them and talked about them.

After all, the people here have conservative concepts, not as good as Shanghai, many women wear cloth shoes, and the better ones are old-fashioned embroidered shoes, and Wanyue put on a particularly trendy and improved cheongsam that has been preserved somehow in order to match her shoes, and permed her head well, which is simply full of the most fashionable and avant-garde atmosphere of this era, and it is not surprising that it is so eye-catching in the crowd.

So much so that after getting on the boat, some men who claimed to be gentlemen and celebrities took the initiative to come over and talk.

Now Wanyue is full of charm all over her body, like a radiant diamond, which will naturally attract too much attention. But once you get in touch with her, you will be impressed by her special mysterious charm and feel afraid.

About the moment she got on the boat, many men already regarded her as the "target" of their own steamship trip, not only to talk, but also to observe several pairs of eyes secretly.

The steamship that Wanyue ordered was a luxury steamer that would dock at the big port near Xiao City, and the degree of luxury was of course much worse than the one built by the Xiao family, but it could be regarded as a gathering of celebrities.

The choice of this ship was Wanyue's hope that Xiao Nan's next journey would be more comfortable, but it also meant that they might fall into the so-called southwestern aristocratic social circle on the ship.

Compared with those ordinary people, these well-dressed celebrities and gentlemen are often more obscene. Because of Wanyue's outstanding dress, as soon as she got on the boat, she was taken by some bigwigs in the aristocratic circle.

And Xiao Nan, who has been wearing a top hat and getting on the boat in a low-key manner, is not so eye-catching. This is also a manifestation of the harmony of the power of Fuxi in his body. Otherwise, the power of Fuxi, which is too scattered, will make Xiao Nan exude a terrifying charm from appearance to temperament.

The room ordered by Xiao Nan is also one of the best rooms on the entire ship, in fact, it is a double room that looks more European, and it has been slightly renovated.

Even so, it's much more modern than where he's lived so many days.

After entering the guest room, Xiao Nan said: "I hope that we will take the boat this time, and there will be no more strange things." ”

"It's hard to say. You're a disaster-attracting physique. Miao Feng said. Miao Feng changed into a shirt and trousers, and looked like a civilized person instead of a savage.

I don't know why, Xiao Nan felt that he was a little disobedient when he wore this kind of Western-style clothes.

Probably seeing him in the sea of trees, he is always wearing national costumes, and he is used to it.

"Master, this ship also has a dance party in the banquet hall, do you want to attend it tonight?" Lin Yi walked in with a leaflet.

"Do you think he can dance?" Miao Feng hugged his arms and said.

"I think the host likes to join in the fun." Lin Yi still knows Xiao Nan very well.

"I'm not going to join in the fun, you guys go play." Xiao Nan didn't feel offended, in fact, he did like to join in the fun, but the passengers on this ship should be of little use to him, and it would save him from making friends and causing trouble.
