204. Agreeable
Aunt Su said goodbye to the Yi family, sent the subordinates away in groups of two, and took a servant girl to another road, not thinking about it all the way, it seemed that she was going straight forward with a purpose.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Xu Ji and her maidservant, and a maid who followed Xu Ji not far away hurriedly walked over after seeing Aunt Su and called "Auntie" in a low voice.
Aunt Su nodded and asked, "What did the fifth miss do?" ”
The servant girl who followed replied, "Miss Fifth walked all the way here, and saw someone putting a lamp on it, so she also bought a lamp to put it on, and she has been staying here ever since!" ”
Aunt Su waved her hand, signaling the maids to stay in place, and she quietly stepped forward and stood beside Xu Ji silently, while Xu Ji was staring at the lights on the river, completely unaware of Aunt Su's approach.
"Fifth Miss!" Aunt Su finally spoke.
"Su ...... Aunt Sue! Xu Ji finally came back to her senses, and looked at Aunt Su who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise and helplessness.
Aunt Su said softly, "I just came to try my luck, but I didn't expect to really find Miss Five!" ”
"That'...... Mother also knows that I am separated? Xu Yan was a little frustrated.
Aunt Su nodded, "Madame naturally knows, otherwise she wouldn't have let me come out to find Miss Five!" ”
Xu Ji couldn't help lowering her head, she thought that so many people had come out today, and she had been deliberately following the back of the crowd, Yi Shi should not have noticed her, but she didn't expect that she would only come out and be found in just two quarters of an hour.
"Fifth Miss looks sullen, is there something on her mind?" Aunt Su asked with concern.
Xu Ji smiled bitterly, "What can I have on my mind?" Although I am a concubine, but the degree of food and clothing, my mother has never treated me harshly, and there are also a lot of etiquette skills that should be taught, as a concubine, I should be content to live as comfortable as me, right? ”
Aunt Su shook her head, "You are also what I grew up watching, I naturally know a little bit about your temperament, if you treat your aunt as an outsider, don't say it!" ”
"I ......", in all fairness, Aunt Su usually treats Xu Ji really well, even her own Aunt Fang may not be compared, Xu Ji struggled a little and it was not good to hide it anymore.
"Originally, there was a fourth sister in the way, even if my mother didn't give me the engagement for a long time, I didn't feel in a hurry, at least there was a fourth sister cushion! But the fourth sister got married last fall, and my mother didn't mention my marriage for half a year, and my aunt was anxious, but she was soft-spoken, and she didn't have much affection in front of her father, so she couldn't help much! Looking at the appearance of the eldest aunt today, it seems that the sixth sister has taken a fancy to someone, I am one year older than the sixth sister, and I am seventeen years old this year...... I...... I'm in a hurry! ”
Aunt Su suddenly understood the purpose of Xu Jiao's sneaking out, "Do you want to emulate Miss Six?" ”
Xu Ji blushed and nodded and admitted, "I know that it is a very humiliating thing to give and receive privately, and if it is known, I will point at the backbone of the Xu family and scold it behind my back, but I really can't care so much, instead of sitting at home and waiting, it is better to fight, I am so old, I really can't afford to wait!" ”
"Madame, she ......," Aunt Su sighed, "Madame also has Madame's concerns!" You also know that the second master's official position is not high, his official name is not obvious, and you are a concubine, so it is difficult to have a good family affair! I've heard Mrs. mention it before, I want to wait for the eldest young master to go to high school, so that I can raise your identity and say kiss better! ”
Xu Yan pouted, "The eldest brother has fallen twice twice, and when he is admitted to the Jinshi, I will become an old aunt!" ”
Aunt Su glanced at Xu Ji dissatisfiedly, "The spring exam is coming, and Madame is busy with the eldest young master's exam, and I will mention it to Madame when I'm done, and finalize your marriage earlier!" ”
Xu Ji was grateful, "Aunt Xie! ”
Aunt Su patted Xu Jiao's face lovingly, the girl's skin was tight and delicate, Aunt Su couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "In a blink of an eye, you have reached the age of getting married, I still remember the scene when your second sister got married and you tied two pigtails and pulled her skirt to prevent her from leaving, so many years have passed in a flash!" ”
"Auntie is missing the second sister?" Xu Yan observed the words and saw the deep longing on Aunt Su's face.
Aunt Su nodded and shook her head, "Since she is married, she is a member of her husband's family, everything should be based on her husband's family, and her mother's family ...... Just come back and have a look when you have time, besides...... I'm just her aunt, and she's coming back to see Madame......"
Xu Ji said with relief, "The second sister also cherishes her aunt very much, and the Yangrong pills that my aunt eats every day are specially matched by the second sister, and they are sent once a month, and they have been sent for so many years!" ”
"Second Miss is a loving person!" Aunt Su sighed with emotion, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, "At the beginning, the master's Shangfeng said that he was a nephew, and the master didn't dare to agree because of his feelings, but the other party's brother was extremely unsuccessful, and when she was in a dilemma, the second lady couldn't bear to see the master offend Shangfeng, so she sacrificed herself to agree to this family business." At this time, the Liang family suddenly came to ask for marriage, and the second lady has always regarded the Liang family as a life-saving benefactor, and marrying into the Liang family has been good for the Liang family in the past few years! But the second miss is such a good person, but God wants to torture her, she has been married for so many years, but she failed to give birth to a boy and a half girl for the Liang family, every time she talks about it, the second miss feels ashamed of the Liang family, ashamed of the Liang family's life-saving grace! ”
"Second sister, she...... She's going to have kids! Xu Yan handed the handkerchief to Aunt Su to wipe her tears, and comforted her dryly, she is an unmarried boudoir daughter, how can she understand Xu Yan's situation?
Aunt Su shook her head and said desolately, "She actually had children, but at that time, when she first married into the Liang family, it was the time when she was extremely cautious and careless...... Your second sister has no heirs in her life! ”
"......" Xu Ji suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, "That...... Then give the second brother-in-law a few concubines and bring the children of the concubines over to raise! ”
The expression on Aunt Su's face became even more bitter, "Second Miss is the same as you think, she chose a loyal maidservant girl out of thousands of choices, but as soon as the maid was pregnant, she didn't look at Miss Er, and she was just a blessing, and she spread rumors in the Hou Mansion every day not to say that Miss Second was deducting her share, that is, that Miss Second was going to snatch the child in her belly, which made Miss Two mention raising a child in the future?" ”
Xu Jiao was exhausted, and looked at Aunt Su with a sneer.
Aunt Su wiped the tears on her face, and gradually regained her usual gentleness, "Your second sister is alone in the Liang family, and there is no one to help her every day, she only hates that I had one less child, otherwise I would have taken care of it!" ”
Xu Jiao's heart moved, although she was a concubine, she was the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and the main room was still her own sister...... This marriage is agreeable......
