Chapter 68: Backfired

"Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao, many people are coming in the direction of your house, you go out and see if Brother Ah Jiu is back." Lanzi pushed open the small wooden door and stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted at me, her excited look made her look unusually happy, and the small flower pot she was holding in her hand had not yet had time to put down.

I put down the ladle in my hand, nodded to my mother who was lying on the bed, and then walked out the door, "Lanzi, what's wrong?" ”

"Hey, come out and take a look, is it that Brother Ah Jiu is back, there are a lot of people over there." Lanzi didn't like me the most on weekdays, so he put down the basin in his hand, took my hand and ran out of the door.

Speaking of Ah Jiu, I am happy and happy. Ah Jiu and I were childhood sweethearts, since my mother and I were kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ah Jiu has entered my life. Two years ago, he said that he was going to take the martial arts exam, and after he came back, he married me in a beautiful way, but time passed in a hurry, and he never came back. And I, naturally, waited for him with my promises.

Now, if he comes back, I'm not only happy, but also a little shy. It's finally back.

We stood in front of a group of people and watched, and the gorgeous clothes on those people looked so radiant that I had only seen before the age of seven. There are so many people, it doesn't seem like Brother Ah Jiu.

"Who are you?" Lan Zi was straightforward, rushed to the person who hit the head, and asked with a puzzled expression.

The man looked Lanzi up and down, turned his head to look at the person behind him, and then replied lazily, "We are from Prime Minister Xia's mansion." ”

Hearing this, I was unsteady and took two steps back, "Are you Prime Minister Xia's daughter?" ”

Lanzi looked at me with a smile, and then looked at the person with a sideways face, "Su Xiaoxiao, look, I was wrong again." When he had finished speaking, he replied, "I'm not." ”

I stood aside, relieved myself, and grabbed Lanzi's hand to keep her in the way. He looked at the man in a stiff tone, "I am, what are you looking for me?" Lanzi was stunned by my words, and didn't reflect it for a moment, I felt her doubts, and was pinched hard by my hand.

"Oh? It turns out that you are Prime Minister Xia's daughter. Haha, I'll just say, it's very beautiful, and this eyebrow is no less than that of the eldest lady. The horizontal flesh was squeezed together on the man's face, and some wrinkles were piled up, which was uncomfortable to look at.

I turned my face away, rolled my eyes, and didn't answer.

"What's your name?" The man didn't appreciate my praise for him at all, and he didn't say any more, but changed his attitude just now and asked.

Too many things in this world are funny and helpless, like this one now. I am the daughter of a prime minister, but no one recognizes me, and no one even knows my name. If it were possible, how I wish I hadn't had the surname Xia at all, and if it was possible, I would have preferred that I hadn't been born.

"What exactly are your goals, just say it."

"Second Miss won't invite us to sit at home?" The man was uninteresting.

I stood still, too lazy to talk to them again. As for my family, I will definitely not take them there, because the person in the family can't withstand any blow from Xia Yuanheng.

"Then I'll say it bluntly, the prime minister sent us over to take the second lady and his wife back to the house."

"What if I refuse?" Back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Since I was born, I have never stepped half a step there, and now I am told to go back, and I want to renew the father-daughter relationship? Dream!

"Second Miss is naïve, isn't it, how can anyone dare to object to what our prime minister said? Even if it's against it, what's the use? The man paused, walked up to me, and looked me in the eye, "Second Miss, it's better to go back with us obediently, so as not to hurt everyone's harmony." ”

"That's not good, do you still have a royal law? If she says no, she won't go! Lanzi was really naïve, and when she heard some clues, she couldn't help but come out to speak for me.

The man ignored me, leaned close to my face, lowered his voice and reminded, "You don't want your lady to be pressed back by us, do you?" ”

"You!" I looked at him angrily, in the end, he was still speechless, what can I do? My life has always been like this, and if I occupy a side with Xia Yuanheng, it is destined that I will not have good luck.

"I'll go with you, but my mother is not in good health, you go and prepare two sedan chairs......." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, "Miss is too worried, the sedan chair has already been prepared." ”

"Su Xiaoxiao!" Lanzi looked at me nervously, and I shook her hand, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, you wait for Brother Jiu for me." ”

My mother and I were taken to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where the carved beams and painted buildings, the pavilions and pavilions were really more beautiful than those written in the book. The poetry and songs are appreciated vividly, and they are not as refreshing as those seen in this reality.

got off the sedan chair, and although it was the back door, I could also feel the atmosphere of this prime minister's house.

"Gao Xuan is near Bizhu, and the eaves are overhead. The remaining flowers are carved on the threshold, and the remnants of the willows are scattered. The shore chrysanthemum contains stamens at the beginning, and the garden pear begins to be red. Don't worry about the darkness of Kunshan, but also in the cup.

"This scene reminds me of the scenery depicted in the poem, but after all, it still lacks the charm of nature and simplicity, and people who live in such a place for a long time will inevitably become dirty.

My mother and I were placed in a splendid room, which was very well furnished, but unfortunately, I didn't want to touch it more, and I felt dirty about such things. I won't stay in such a place for long.

My mother seemed to see my dissatisfaction, gently called me over, and pulled my hand closer, "Su Xiaoxiao, don't complain, this is all fate, he is your father after all." ”

"Mother, have you ever complained?" I never asked my mother about that, but mentally I had thought about it a thousand times.

Instead of answering, my mother lowered her head and stopped looking at me. After a long time, he said, "There is no complaint in the depths of love, but what do you want from the vicissitudes of personnel."

I nodded silently, this is my mother, because of love, so I have been guarding it all my life without complaint.

"Second Miss, the prime minister asked you to wait for him in the main hall." The little girl in the pale pink lady's dress came over to pass the word, and I comforted my mother to lie down, "I will have a good conversation with him." The mother nodded with satisfaction, and then let go of her hand with confidence.

I followed the little girl to the main hall, she motioned for me to sit down and wait, brought tea, and held pastries, but I just sat and waited, these things that have nothing to do with me, how could I touch them?

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, the sound was very heavy, and it was heard by a confident man, and I didn't look back, still sitting.

"Stand up and let me see." A sonorous voice came from behind me, and a tear finally fell on the placket of my shirt. I'm still sitting.

"It's very much like my daughter, she has integrity, and she doesn't want to stand and sit." The voice flashed down my side to the front seat of the hall.

I gathered my emotions and looked in his direction, the only time I saw him since I was born was when I was six years old, and he personally buried all my dreams of a father.

That year, my mother was seriously ill and had no money to hire a doctor, so I knelt outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion all night. The next day, when he went to the morning court, he only looked at me, no matter how I cried and kowtowed, he threw up his sleeves and left, leaving not a penny. That year, I told myself that I Xia Su was young, and I didn't have such a father, and I couldn't get along with this man until I died.

And at this moment, this sentence is very similar to him, which makes people feel embarrassed, and being like him is the biggest insult to me.

"What's the matter with you? Want to see me? Or do you want to meet the woman who has been tortured by you for half her life? The goal has been achieved, so please let us go back. I was stiff and looked at him with only hatred in my eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled, stroked his beard gently, and there was satisfaction in his eyes, as if he was calculating, "Haha, okay." With that, he stood up and walked up to me, "What's your name?" ”

"You don't know what my name is, how can you call me my father? How to match? I clenched my fists angrily, I only hated that I only learned my daughter's things since I was a child, and I only hated that I only knew piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't know martial arts, otherwise I would have smashed it with a punch, for the woman lying on the bed, and myself.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask, and your name doesn't matter." His expression changed, and instead of smiling, he looked at me as seriously and coldly as I looked at him.

"From today onwards, your name will be Summer Fragrance. This is the name of the Prime Minister's Lady, but in the future, this name will be yours. Two days later, you will go to Lingque Country on behalf of my subject country to make peace, and go to make peace as Xia Xiang. He spoke, a commanding tone.

I was wrong, I was wrong, I was naïve after all. I thought that this so-called father was discovered by conscience, but it turned out that it was not. I'm just something he was born with, discarded when he didn't need it, and grabbed and used it when he used it.

"Hehe, Prime Minister Xia, I won't listen to you, kill me, I won't listen." I got up from my chair, angrily dropped my words, and walked out the door.

I don't want to stay here for a moment.

"What about your mother's life? What about your friend's? Oh, that girl is called Lanzi? His voice sounded behind me, a cool breeze blew down my spine, and the steps I raised fell back to the ground, Lanzi, mother, is there still Brother Ajiu?

"Whether you want to listen to me or not, you decide." With that, the footsteps behind me approached me, I slowly closed my eyes, and as he passed by me and walked out the door, I finally spoke, "Be kind to them, and prepare some clothes for me tomorrow." ”

I heard his satisfied laughter, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Those who know the times are handsome." I didn't want to look at the man's face for a moment.
