The youngest of the concubines in the palace was fourteen or fifteen years old when they entered the palace.

Xia Xi and Li Ran haven't reached the end yet, and their bodies haven't grown yet.

Only a person with no lower limit like the Cao family would use such a subordinate means to use such a small girl to achieve his own goals.

Thinking of this, Ni Chuhe had no good impression of the Cao family.

When the family has such a character, sooner or later it will fall.

An angry look appeared on Yongzheng's face, "The Cao family dares to fool me with a daughter from a merchant, it seems that I am still too merciful to them." ”

Nichuhe was displeased, "What merchant's daughter?" She is also the daughter of the richest man in Yangzhou. ”

Yongzheng always values identity.

The Cao family used Xia Xi to curry favor with Yongzheng, which was regarded as kicking on the board.

Shinong industry and commerce, business is the last.

The ancients always looked down on merchants, and even the richest man could not change his status as a businessman.

If it weren't for that, the Cao family wouldn't dare to bully Xia Xi like this.

Although the Cao family is also in business, they are doing business for the royal family, they are royal slaves, and they are self-proclaimed superior, so they naturally look down on other businessmen.

This is really frustrating.

What made her speechless was that the Cao family obviously looked down on the Xia family, and married their daughter to the Xia family at the beginning.

Yongzheng looked down at her, his heart moved, and he frowned, "This Xia family...... I seem to have some impressions, do you know the Xia family? ”

Ni Chuhe secretly regretted his words and smiled, "Just now Li Laoyi said that Xia Xi is the daughter of the Xia family, the richest man in Yangzhou. ”

Yongzheng sighed, and sure enough, he didn't ask more.

Ni Chuhe thought about Yongzheng's words and had some impressions of the Xia family.

She knew that Yongzheng had checked about Chu He, presumably because of this incident and had an impression of the Xia family.

This made Nichuhe nervous.

She pretended to be relaxed and said, "This Xia Xi is a bit interesting, she is not very old, she is very smart, the Cao family's plan, she should be reluctant, but she is young in the end, and she is her own relative, she is soft-spoken, and she is helpless, and the concubine looks at the Cao family and does not treat her as a relative, but she is not soft when she uses it." ”

"What do you care about others?" Yongzheng pinched her face, "Think less about what you don't have." ”

Nichuhe glanced at him faintly and sighed helplessly in his heart.

She wanted to care about Xia Xi, but unfortunately she couldn't do too much.

In a few days, she and Yongzheng will return to Beijing, and it will be only a few days, and I don't know when Xia Songshao will come back to protect their mother and son, so as not to let the Cao family continue to bully.

This time, the Cao family miscalculated in Li Ran's matter, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be angry with Xia Xi's mother and daughter.

Xia Xi can be used by Li Laoyi like this, it can be seen that Xia Songshao's wife Cao is not a hard-tempered person, but if he is tougher, Xia Xi will not be brought here, and he almost suffered.

Xia Songshao was really willing to throw their mother and son to the Cao family.

Could it be that business is really more important than family? Book 8

……

Jiangning Weaving Mansion Cao Family

Cao Ru had just quarreled with Li Laoyiren, and wiped her tears when she returned to the room.

Xia Xi walked in, and when she saw her mother like this, she hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to pat her shoulder, "Mother, but they are angry with you again?" ”

Cao Ru held her daughter in her arms and choked up, "It's all because your mother is useless, let you be so bullied by them, your mother will take you home tomorrow, okay?" ”

Xia Xi's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, "Okay." ”

Hearing her daughter say so loudly, Cao Ru felt even more guilty, and her tears flowed even more fiercely, "Mother shouldn't have brought you here, in this family, we are always outsiders, they have never regarded us as a family, just as a tool to use." It's okay for them to bully your mother, but how can they do such a thing to you? If it weren't for the kindness of the concubine, it would be you who were given to King Guojun this time, my poor child. ”

Cao Ru hugged Xia Xi and cried, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became.

Xia Xi patted her on the back and comforted, "Mother doesn't have to be like this, even if there is no concubine, they can't help their daughter, this time the daughter has already expected them to be uneasy and kind, so she has long guarded against them." ”

This is the only thing that makes Cao Ru happy.

Fortunately, her daughter is not as cowardly as her, and she is bullied and knows how to resist, so she can be safe so far.

Xia Xi blinked and asked, "Mother, aren't we waiting for our father?" Father said he would pick us up soon? ”

Cao Ru shook her head, "Mother will send a letter to your father, so that he doesn't have to come over, and we will go home directly tomorrow." ”

"But......" Xia Xi hesitated, "The concubine said to let her daughter accompany her more." ”

Cao Ru smiled bitterly, "Who is the concubine?" Is it accessible to us ordinary people? The concubine is just talking about the scene, where will she remember us? If we continue to stay, Li Lao Yiren will not give up, and they will definitely come up with any tricks again, and we will have a lot of dreams at night, so we should go back early, so as not to cause trouble to the concubine again. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed, "It's my mother who is sorry for you, my mother was from a humble background, she was originally just a maidservant, and she was fortunate to be adopted as an adopted daughter by Li Laoyiren, and married to your father as a concubine in the family, which led to our later good life."

It is precisely because of this layer that your mother has always had no confidence in the face of them, which makes you bullied again and again. This time it is about your honor, Mother can't let you be bullied by them anymore, we have to go back sooner. ”

Xia Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily, "Okay." Suddenly she thought of something, and her eyes lit up, "I heard that my father will bring Chu Li over this time, my daughter and Chu Li haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know if he has grown taller or whiter, the last time we met, he became so black and black, and he was not as white and tender as he was when he was a child." ”

As he spoke, he pursed his lips, his face full of displeasure.

Cao Ru smiled slightly and touched her soft black hair, "Don't bully others when you meet, your brother is thin-skinned." ”

Xia Xi rolled her eyes unhappily, "Who bullied him?" ”

Cao Ru's mother and daughter, who originally planned to leave for Li Laoyi early the next morning, couldn't leave after they asked for peace.

Because Xia Songshao has already arrived in Jiangning.

Xia Songshao went to ask Li Laoyi and Mrs. Ma for peace first, and didn't stay long, so he went directly to the place where Cao Ru's mother and daughter lived.

Seeing Xia Songshao, Xia Xi swooped over like a cheerful bird, "Father, you're finally here!" ”

Xia Songshao held Xia Xi's shoulder, bent down and reached out to scratch her nose, smiling, "Have you been obedient lately?" Did you get into trouble? ”

Xia Xi snorted, "How can there be?" My daughter has always been very well-behaved. ”

Xia Songshao smiled even more, picked up his daughter, walked up to Cao Ru, stretched out his other hand to hold hers, and his expression was soft, "Are these days okay?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Ru's eyes turned red all of a sudden, but she shook her head and pulled out a smile, "The concubine is very good." ”

Xia Songshao opened his mouth, but did not speak immediately, but hugged his daughter, took his wife's hand and entered the house, sent the waiter, and sat at the table.
