Chapter 8: Life History
Shuying comforted Liluo, gently helped her wipe away her tears, and secretly made up her mind not to be afraid. Liluo nodded frequently, thanking Shuying for his gentle treatment in his heart.
Back in the house, Xiuqin was already drinking cold mung bean soup at the table, she saw that the two people who came in from outside the house were sweating a lot, and asked, "What are you running out to do on such a hot day?" There's something to say in the house! ”
"It's just Uncle Cheng's affair with the girl, don't ask about you as a child. Every time I think about it, my head hurts terribly. ”
Shuying sat down in front of the dresser, and Liluo cut her hair in a bun and put on a plain silver hairpin again. Xiuqin also followed Nuan Ge and sat on the embroidery pier to watch her make up.
"It stands to reason that I'm a junior, so it's hard to be a beak in this matter...... But since you asked me to call you sister, I want to give you an idea. ”
"What do you think about Qin'er?" She looked at Xiuqin's face from the mirror, childish, but full of confidence.
"This little lady Nie has served by Uncle Cheng's side for a few years, and her character is not bad. My mother told me that she was forced by the fourth aunt back then, and Uncle Cheng saw that she was a poor person, so he took her in. Now she is making a fuss, not fighting for the main position and family wealth, just asking for a name, then give it to her, send it to live in the Zhuangzi below, eat and wear as usual, we ended up clean in front of us, and did good things. ”
"I'm afraid that she is used to being an aunt and refuses to leave the Hou Mansion easily."
If it weren't for Lu Cheng's violent death, the Nie family might be able to be a noble concubine in the future, and when they had an heir, they would be able to raise their heads and speak in front of the main room. With such a good treatment, there is suddenly no hope, and the mind is hot, who will give up?
Xiuqin came over to put on white flowers for her, "One mountain does not allow two tigers, and I also know this truth." But her Nie family is also the cousin of the fourth aunt, and she was originally the concubine of a big family, so she shouldn't not understand the stakes, and it will be ugly if she tears her face. In terms of the name, it is still the sister who has the advantage. Take a step back and say, if you really want to divide the winners and losers in the future, my heart is towards Sister Ying, and everyone in the Hou Mansion will also be towards Sister Ying! ”
"You are towards me, I believe that." She shook Xiuqin's hand.
But everyone in the Hou Mansion has their own masters and plans, and it is difficult to guarantee that she, who is in a hurry to watch the widow, will definitely win.
In the afternoon, she watched Xiuqin do some needlework and draw for a while, and the sun suddenly shone into the house.
At this time, the little girl outside suddenly came up to inform An Yue and Liluo, saying that the fourth grandmother was going to bring Sister Rong over to see the shadow girl before dinner.
Xie Yujiao, you are so diligent!
Shu Ying didn't know what he meant, Xiuqin was still lingering just now, but she immediately changed her words and said that she was leaving.
"I don't want to see that crybaby!"
After asking carefully, I found out that Xiurong was often naughty and foreign-looking, but every time she said that her sister and sister bullied her, and she couldn't afford to lose anything.
Xiuqin was jealous and hateful, her eyebrows and eyes showed a heroic spirit, and she held the umbrella in her hand as a sword and made a slashing posture. The maid sent by Sanfang to pick her up stopped and stopped, afraid that she would break other people's things.
Shuying personally sent her out: "The general walks slowly!" Next time I go to your place, the place is big and quiet, so you don't have to go out to meet her, and then you won't be happy. ”
An Yue buried her head in tidying up her desk, and after Shuying said goodbye to Xiuqin, she returned to the warm pavilion and whispered the news of the fourth room in her ear. An Yue was so angry that she increased the strength of her hand a lot, and tore out a hole in the written family letter.
"Not only is it not my handwriting, but if it is like this, my brother will think that something is wrong with us." Shu Ying looked at the letter, and her fingertips clearly felt the roughness of Shengxuan.
An Yue snorted embarrassedly, "Do you want to rewrite it?" ”
"Don't take it seriously, I'm just joking with you. It's that this paper is so bad that it's easy to tear, and it will break no matter how many times you rewrite it. ”
"Girl, be careful! And...... The fourth room is coming again this time, I'm afraid it's not good! ”
Shuying nodded, brewing a countermeasure in her heart.
Soon Xie Yujiao took her daughter Lu Xiurong to the small courtyard, and the mother and daughter were both delicate and weak at first, gossiping with Shuying. When she mentioned Nie's, Xie Yujiao's smile suddenly froze on her face, and she also picked up her tone.
"When I came back, I also wanted to ask my sister what she thought of her, after all, Ah Fu was originally from the prince's room, and my sister was a lady, so she had to make up her mind in this matter!"
Shuying smiled lightly on the surface, thinking to himself that the fox tails of these people were finally about to be revealed.
"The fourth sister allows me to tell the truth, if you talk about relatives, Nie is my sister's cousin, and I am just a distant relative of my sister's five suits; At my sister's place, she is much closer than me. I'm too young to know these ways, so if you really want to make an idea, wouldn't it be cheaper for you to discuss it privately and then tell me? ”
She said unhurriedly, looking at Xie Yujiao with a smile.
Xie Yujiao didn't expect that she would play Tai Chi with herself, and she was a little anxious, "Sister, what are these words!" I'm also here to ask you for your sake, if we discuss it privately, the eldest sister would have already settled down, so why worry about the younger sister? ”
Sure enough, it was Xie Yuyuan who was manipulating them.
Xie Yujiao realized for a while that she had shaken out the eldest sister, and frowned with remorse.
"That's very good. Having said that, I haven't met this Nie sister yet, and if the fourth sister can let me meet her, I may be able to make a decision. Shuying said these words lightly.
She wants everyone in the Hou Mansion to know that she Xie Shuying is pitiful, and she will not be fooled.
In addition, since the Nie family was once a person in Lu Cheng's house, it should be the best entry point for verification, and it must be firmly contained.
Xie Yujiao was speechless, stretched out her hand to point at her, and couldn't spit out a word after opening her mouth for a long time, puffing out like a goldfish with big cheeks.
Xiurong beside him was frightened by the two of them, his delicate white and tender face twisted into a ball, and in an instant, tears flowed, thunder and anger, and he was out of control.
Xie Yujiao herself was embarrassed by this flamboyant little girl, and the child cried again, angrily holding her ears and scolding Xiurong: "Little prostitute, don't cry!" No jokes, nothing to be angry about! I didn't beat you and I didn't scold you, and I was so vexatious, be careful that your father went back and beat you! ”
When Lu Xiurong heard his father's name, his mouth pursed and he cried even more. It seems that Lu Zhou has a violent temperament, which is true.
Shuying asked An Yue to bring some desserts to Xiurong to eat, but Xiurong was crying happily, and she didn't appreciate it and knocked over the plate on An Yue's skirt.
An Yue was stunned in place, Shuying hurriedly went up and pulled it away, asked An Yue to change her clothes, and then leaned over and gently comforted Xiurong: "Rong'er is good, little aunt shouldn't be so fierce, I apologize to you......"
Syllable!
Everyone present looked at Xie Shuying in unison.
Lu Xiurong's little slap stopped in the air, but he didn't dare to wave it anymore, and shouted in his mouth: "Phew! Aren't you just a girl who came out of a broken house? After getting rid of his parents and younger brother, he rushed to other homes, such a dirty face, we are not worthy of lifting shoes, and I expect to climb the high branches of the Marquis of Huaiyong's Mansion and be the housewife, you dream! You ......"
Xie Yujiao didn't know where her daughter learned these words, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and lowered her head in horror.
