Chapter 4: Decadence

Liuhyun Zhenjun glanced at her meaningfully, and this glance made Song Xiaochi feel that there was nothing to hide, just like all the thoughts and emotions in her heart were confessed in front of others at this moment.

"Second son Xu? This is not your good fate. Liuhyun Zhenjun smiled lightly, the fairy wind bone, as if he was pointing out the maze for the lost unknown girl.

Song Xiaochi nodded, "Xiaochi knows, it's just that since ancient times, the marriage has been a major event, and the words of the parents' orders and concubines can be shaken by the power of Xiaochi, and the second son Xu is already the best family thing that can be found for me in the family now, and Xiaochi has no objection." ”

"The lonely moon is cold and the starry night, the plum fragrance is in the snowy sky, the phoenix is perched on the sycamore branches, Xie Lang is stepping on the wind!"

This time, Liuhyun Zhenjun did not stop because of Song Xiaochi's words, his feet slowly left the ground, the window opened without wind, and the window opened by Liuhyun Zhenjun arrogantly floated away, chanting the above words like prophecies, over and over again.

Even if Song Xiaochi didn't listen carefully, the voice rushed into her ears like a magic spell, and then swirled in her mind, so that when Song Xiaochi now recalled last night's dream, these twenty words were still clearly presented in her mind.

"Girl? Girl? Coral heard a slightly worried voice in his ears, Song Xiaochi came back to his senses and looked at Coral, "What's wrong?" ”

"Girl, you won't move with this peach blossom hairpin, and the slave and maid will call you a few times, and you won't agree." Sango asked worriedly, "Girl, is there anything wrong?"

Song Xiaochi shook his head, "No, I just thought of a dream I had last night." ”

"What did the girl dream?" Coral asked, while taking the peach blossom golden hairpin from Song Xiaochi's hand, and asked, "Girl, bring this hairpin today, this hairpin is very good for the girl."

This peach blossom golden hairpin is the only one in her makeup box that can be taken out to meet guests, and the rest of the jewelry has been gradually taken out by the second uncle in charge of the family as early as the past two years.

The reason why she thought of last night when she took the peach blossom golden hairpin was because when her grandmother took their sisters to Xu's house to congratulate Mrs. Xu on her birthday last month, she was wearing the clothes she was wearing today, and she was also wearing this peach blossom golden hairpin, she could naturally imagine that if she also brought this golden hairpin today, Mrs. Xu's critical and contemptuous gaze would stay on her for a long time.

At that moment, Song Xiaoji thought of the appearance of Ryuhyun Zhenjun and what he said.

Xu Ergongzi, not her good fate!

At this moment, Song Xiaochi suddenly had an urge to deal with the past casually, lower herself, and please the Xu family, which was asked by the old lady, the second room of the Song family, and even the entire Kang Yongbo Mansion to do it, and she was used to it, and after a long time, even she herself was accustomed to it.

But can such a low-profile and undignified marriage really carry her future?

"Just bring that silver hairpin with hosta flowers!" Song Xiaochi took a deep breath and decided.

The silver hairpin of the hosta flower is not ugly, but in today's occasion, it inevitably looks too shabby.

"Girl?" Coral said tentatively: "Only bring a silver hairpin, Mrs. Xu may think ...... when she sees it."

"Think that our poor people can't even afford gold and jade jewelry?" Song Xiaochi interrupted Sango's words and asked.

Coral nodded, "Mrs. Xu values these things the most. ”

Song Xiaochi curled the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice, "Isn't it?"

"Huh?" The coral is puzzled.

"I said, isn't our Bofu so poor that we can't even afford to wear gold and jade jewelry? I wear a silver hairpin, Mrs. Xu looks down on me, I wear this peach blossom golden hairpin I wore last time, Mrs. Xu will also look down on it, even so, it doesn't matter what I wear, just this hosta silver hairpin. ”

Coral knew that what her girl said was reasonable, she sighed secretly, and she didn't know whether it was sour or bitter in her heart, and seriously inserted a silver hairpin for Song Xiaochi.

In the bronze mirror, Song Xiaochi's small goose egg face is reflected, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, Qiong's nose and cherry mouth, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, even if she only wears a silver hairpin, it will not affect her beauty.

"No matter how the girl dresses up, she looks good." Coral praised.

Song Xiaochi smiled lightly, she knew how well the coral looked at her, even if she was not compared with outsiders, only the four girls in Kang Yongbo's mansion, she could only be ranked third, as for the fourth Song girl Song Xiaohe who was behind her, she was just thirteen this year, and her body was not yet formed, and when she also reached the end and grew into a big girl, Song Xiaochi's third position may not be able to be kept.

However, the girls of the Song family are good-looking, this is for sure, so in terms of appearance, Song Xiaochi has never felt that she is lacking, and she is not arrogant.

After Coral served Song Xiaochi to dress up and wash, Yulan had already set up breakfast.

The breakfast of the Song family is very simple, a master girl like Song Xiaochi, that is, a plate of vegetarian buns and a bowl of porridge, while Coral and Magnolia, they are even simpler, two coarse steamed buns per person, and a bowl of gruel.

Coral wanted to serve Song Xiaochi for breakfast, but Song Xiaochi refused, "You and Yulan should also go and eat, there is nothing to serve." ”

The three of them had breakfast, and Yulan packed up the dishes and chopsticks to be sent to the kitchen, and now there are few people left in the kitchen, but no one comes to help collect the food box and chopsticks.

Coral served Song Xiaochi to Rongsong Courtyard to ask for peace, although Kang Yongbo's mansion was down, but with the first generation of Kang Yongbo's addition of officials and the Bofu is still there, so the mansion of Bofu is not small.

"Girl, the north wind is blowing, and now there is no hand stove, so let's put on this!" Before going out, Coral took out a light gray cloak embroidered with dark patterns and served Song Xiaochi to put it on.

Sure enough, the wind was blowing outside, and as soon as he pushed the door, the cold wind poured in, and Song Xiaochi couldn't help but shiver.

The master and servant walked along the nine-song corridor to Rongsong Courtyard, and as far as they could see along the road, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the gray building blocks were rotten, and there was no trace of fresh air.

Along the way, in addition to the sound of the cold wind blowing the dead branches and falling leaves, it is the footsteps of Song Xiaochi's master and servant, and he didn't even meet a single subordinate, Song Xiaochi couldn't help but think of when he was a child, every time he went to Rongsong Courtyard with his mother to ask for peace, he could always meet an endless stream of people shuttling back and forth, and when they saw their mother and her, they would bend their knees slightly, salute them, and still get a glimpse of a flowery family atmosphere.

In fact, at that time, Bofu had already begun to lose, but his grandfather was still in good health, so the shelf could still hold on, unlike now......

Song Xiaochi sighed slightly, quickened his pace, and Coral followed silently.

There was a little girl standing outside the courtyard of Rongsong Courtyard with her shoulders bowed, and when she saw Song Xiaochi's master and servant, she hurriedly stood up straight and saluted Song Xiaochi, "The eldest girl is here, and the slave and maid will go and report to the old lady." ”

Song Xiaochi nodded, stood outside and waited, looking at the tall but bare banyan tree in the middle of the yard, imagining what it looked like when it was once flourishing, even if the cold wind was cold and the snow pressed the branches and leaves, it was still tall and flamboyant, growing wantonly.

Now, it seems to be old and can no longer hold up the glamour it once was.
