"Mother." Xia Yan slowly moved into the house and said, "I have something to tell you." ”

"Wait, my mother will finish this account." The woman in the house had an abacus in her hand and did not even lift her head.

Xia Yan found a chair and sat down, and the maids were standing outside the door, well-behaved, and it could be seen that the original owner had inherited these habits from where.

After waiting for half an hour, the woman put down her abacus, took a sip of tea, turned to face Xia Yan, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Tell me about the eldest sister." Xia Yan said straight to the point: "I know that you don't like her, mother, and I don't like her either, but mother, she is not young, and now she is like an angry bag all day long, and if she marries out in the future, she will not lose the people of our family, besides, when people see Heng Guogong's daughter like this, it is not good for me and my sister's reputation." ”

The woman was a little confused by Xia Yan's words, thought about it for a long time, and recalled her performance when she saw Yunxiu.

"She's always been like that...... Promised? The woman frowned slightly, "I just thought she didn't like to talk." ”

Xia Yan sighed deliberately, "Mother, I know that you have to be busy with this big family, so it is inevitable that you will ignore some people and things, but eldest sister, she doesn't know how to raise her temperament, anyway, she can't take it out now, she will be fifteen years old soon, even if it is not your mother's biological child, you have to take her to attend some occasions, and then consider the matter of betrothing to the eldest sister, mother, or, you go with me to see the eldest sister." ”

The woman thought for a moment, then simply stood up and said, "Okay, then let's go and have a look." ”

"Speaking of which, you are also thirteen years old this year, why don't you follow your mother and learn housekeeping from your mother." The woman kindly touched Xia Yan's head, "Anyway, you're a worryer." ”

Xia Yan: "......" She really doesn't want to worry about it.

Isn't it just that I'm afraid that on the heroine's birthday, I will cry on the rockery again.

In ancient times, there were not many opportunities for men and women to meet, if they could destroy the first acquaintance of the male and female protagonists, and then take the opportunity to set a family affair for the female protagonist, the task or something, it was almost completed.

The two of them walked one after the other to Yunxiu's small courtyard, and the maids and maids followed behind, looking well-behaved with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll be back soon, don't you really need to bring anything else?" The little maid confirmed with Yunxiu again.

She has to go out once a month, just to help Yunxiu sell some embroidery, of course, in the name of the maid, today happens to be this day again, the little maid has a small burden in her arms, and is about to go out.

turned out to be when Xia Yan abducted Mrs. Yun over.

The little maid got the confirmation of Yunxiu in the house, and as soon as she turned around and wanted to leave, she was so frightened that she screamed at the person who appeared in front of her.

Yun Xiu was also startled when she heard it in the house, and immediately walked to the door, her little face turned white.

Seeing the little maid kneeling on the ground, she immediately knelt down by herself.

"Mother, you, don't punish her, it's my fault, I let her go, it's none of her business." Yun Xiu trembled with fright, her little face turned pale, she lowered her head, and begged for mercy in a low voice.

Mrs. Yun frowned, looked at the maid in front of her who knelt down without saying a word and just screamed, and then at her stepdaughter kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't help but wonder about her image, is she really so vicious?!

The people in the family who have been punished by her are not so afraid of her, so why do the stepdaughter and the people in her yard feel like they have seen a ghost when they see her?!

Mrs. Yun didn't say anything, she just walked into Yun Xiu's house with her feet up, Xia Yan then lit the little maid and said in a low voice, "Go in and kneel." ”

The little maid obediently followed behind Xia Yan, like a little quail.

The two entered the house, Yunxiu thought about it, also stood up, and turned into the house.

Madame Yun asked all the subordinates to stand outside the courtyard, and there were only a few people left in the room, she sat on the main seat, first looked around, and then asked, "What is this girl going?" ”

The little maid knelt on the ground, too timid to speak, and Yunxiu also knelt, biting her lip and not speaking.

Xia Yan really hates them like this, with a look of 'I'm afraid of death, but I just don't say anything', and can anger a few people who are quick to lose.

She directly pulled the small burden in the maid's arms, opened it and spread it on the table.

Mrs. Yun understood at a glance, "Is there a lack of food and clothing for you at home?" ”

"Nope." Yunxiu whispered back.

"Didn't you get the money every month? No one brought you clothes for the four seasons? Madame Yun's voice was a little colder.

"It's sent, it's sent." Yun Xiu bit her lip, her eyes were red, and she looked aggrieved and pitiful.

"Really? So why are you still wearing old clothes? What about the clothes? ”

Yunxiu bowed her head and did not speak.

Xia Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, it didn't look like she thought that Mrs. Yun had treated the heroine badly, listening to this, what should have been sent every month has been sent, so why did the heroine toss herself so badly?

"You say." Mrs. Yun pointed at the little maid who was trembling with fright, and said, "You are the son of the family, right?" If you don't tell the truth, I will sell your family, and there is no need for a slave who betrays the master. ”

"Madam, ma'am, please don't, my parents are honest people." The little maid was frightened, knelt forward a few steps forward and hugged Mrs. Yun's legs, and then began to cry.

"Don't talk nonsense, you know what to say, don't pretend to be pitiful." Madame Yun looked particularly indifferent.

Xia Yan admired her approach, it seems that this is a very neat person, not bad.

"Those, those clothes, sold, sold." The little girl shook her body, but she still recruited.

"Sold?" Mrs. Yun was surprised.

Xia Yan was also surprised, she turned her head to look at the heroine, and sold things for money? What does she want so much money for?

"Eldest sister, what are you selling things for? Is it necessary to have silver? Why don't you tell your mother? Xia Yan asked bluntly.

Yun Xiu raised her eyes and glanced at her timidly, lowered her head, and did not speak.

Xia Yan looked up at the beam, she really didn't have a good impression of this kind of person who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks.

Mrs. Yun glanced at Yun Xiu and continued to ask the little maid, "Where did you put the money you sold?" Or is it what it was used for? ”

"No, I don't know, give it, give it to the eldest lady." The little maid lay on the ground tightly, still crying, she felt that what she did today was betraying the master, but she really couldn't help it.

"Tell me, what's the use of asking for so much silver? If it's a legitimate use, you don't have to bother so much, I'll just approve it to you. Mrs. Yun stiffened her face, her voice was still very cold, but what she said was still very reasonable.

It's just that Yunxiu didn't know what to think, just didn't say a word, knelt there, lowered his head, and didn't squeak.

There is quite a kind of wind that allows you to be icy and cold, and I am immovable!
