68. Widowhood

In the summer of the ninth year of the calendar, the only son of Sun Yanzhou of Guanglu Temple Department died of illness, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man Sun to his boss for a month's leave.

The Sun family is not a well-known family in Beijing, except for acquaintances who mourned with emotion, Sun Xiang's death was like a feather falling, and it was settled quickly, and it did not stir up the slightest superfluous movement in the world.

And Xu Jing also returned to Sun's house on the night of Sun Xiang's death, and the first thing she did when she went back was to move all her things to Xiangzhuyuan.

After the first seven, when Xu Shu went to see Xu Jing, Xu Jing had already cleaned up the entire fragrant bamboo courtyard neatly, Xu Jing was standing in the courtyard wearing a plain white filial piety dress, and the smile on her face was bright and comfortable.

"Wearing filial piety at home, you can only be vegetarian today!" Xu Jing's voice was very brisk, and she understood a lot after this battle, and her mood was different.

Before Xu Shu could speak, Sun Qi pouted first, "Mother, there is no oil meat at all, and my daughter can't eat it!" ”

Xu Jing touched Sun Qi's head, "Bear with it first, it will be fine in a few days!" ”

Sun Qi nodded obediently, Xu Shu gave her the snacks she brought, she glanced at Xu Jing, Xu Jing nodded, she immediately took it and ran into the house with cheers.

Xu Jing smiled and watched her daughter enter the house, then took Xu Shu to the side room and made Xu Shu's favorite white tea for her.

Xu Shu held the teacup, let the tea-scented water vapor smoke on his face, and the eyelashes exposed after removing the eye-covered cloth were stained with a layer of fine water droplets, and the sunshine at the end of summer shone on Xu Shu's face through the gap in the half-supported window lattice, after the reflection and refraction of the water droplets, the colorful brilliance was fainted, and the fair skin became almost translucent in the sun.

"Still can't see anything?" Xu Jing asked.

When Xu Shu was blind, he invited many doctors to come and see, but at that time, Xu Shu was in pain, and he was in danger, and he almost couldn't save his life. When I saved my life, I looked back and thought about my eyes, and there was no medicine for memories.

Xu Shu shook her head and turned her face to the sun, "It's dark, and you can only sense the direction of the light by the temperature!" ”

Xu Shu's open glasses in the sun didn't blink, Xu Jing's eyes were sour, and she twisted her face, "There will always be a way!" ”

Xu Shu smiled lightly and nodded, "Maybe!" ”

Xu Jing looked at the smile on Xu Shu's face distressedly, but she couldn't laugh with her, she had paid so much for the Xu family, when could she think about it for herself?

"Are you still diligent from the Rongguo Mansion recently?"

Xu Shu nodded, "Very diligent, come back every other day, it's not just something to eat, I'll always bring some over, I went to my grandmother and mother to invite An to come over again, but now there are more people, and my mother can't socialize, so I come directly to Shulin Pavilion!" ”

Xu Jing was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "What do you think about the relationship with the Rongguo Mansion?" ”

"I never thought about climbing high, but I will make people who look down on me look down on me!" Xu Shu's words revealed the mystery.

Xu Jing probably understood what Xu Shu meant, and the family had broken down, but Xiao Jiu never took this family matter seriously.

"That day, when you were in a coma in the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Qi left you to recuperate in the Guogong Mansion, I thought it was a good thing, but my mother refused, since you think so, I am also relieved!"

"Mother...... It's for the tenth sister...... I stayed in the Qi family to live, how can I mention the words of letting the tenth sister replace me in the future! Xu Shu's tone fell, "Except for the seventh brother, my mother loves the seventh sister the most, the seventh sister is set by the Song family, and the tenth sister naturally can't be too far behind......"

But what about Xu Shu who is sandwiched between Xu Ting and Xu Xiao? When did Lee think about her?

"Xiao Jiu......" Xu Jing screamed softly, wanting to say something comforting but couldn't say it, she was already desperate for the Xu family, how could she say those self-deceptive words to deceive others?

"They are all my own sisters, they are well, and I am happy, so I don't complain!" Xu Shu's face was a faint smile again, and Fang Cai's loss seemed to be just Xu Jing's illusion.

"Besides, it's not the tenth sister, it's someone else, it's better to give your sister a personal favor than to cheapen outsiders, right?"

Fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, this is what the Li family thinks, so they have to plan which daughter will go to Xu Shu's family affairs, they are all a family, they are all part of the Xu family, and they are all for the Xu family......

"It's all for the seventh brother!" Xu Jing sneered, "For the sake of the seventh brother, the relationship with the Rongguo Mansion can't be yellow, and for the sake of the seventh brother, I'd rather be widowed than separated!" ”

The daughter of a widowed chaste martyr, or a daughter who left home with her husband, which made the Xu family's face shine? Li thinks better than anyone else!

"Mother has suffered too much...... Xu Shu lowered her head, there was unbearability, helplessness, and forbearance in her voice......

Li had no children in her early years, how many white eyes she suffered, how many grievances she had suffered, Xu Jing felt it with Li when she was in the boudoir, so she understood and recognized Li's partiality, but she retreated step by step, but Li had to sacrifice the interests of her daughters inch by inch to pave the way for her son, and Xu Jing couldn't bear it.

"Who hasn't suffered? But that doesn't justify her exploitation of me! I still remember the winter when I was seven years old, it was very cold, the lake and the river were covered with thick ice, and the fish could not be caught, so the fish that year was very expensive, and the market was priceless, the family finally bought a basket, my mother said to make fish soup to eat at night, I was so happy, I waited all day, but in the evening, my uncle's cousin came, and my mother left him to eat together! Men and women are seven years old at different tables, so my mother let me eat alone in the house, I was full of joy waiting for the fish soup, but I didn't see a meal after eating, I thought it was less fish, not enough points, so Chunhui Yuan didn't have to eat, until my cousin left when I knew that it was not Chunhui Yuan no fish soup to eat, but I didn't have fish soup, my cousin not only ate the fish soup, but also took two fish away when leaving, I cried to grab it, but my mother gave me a slap, I fell in the snow, but my mother didn't look back and took my cousin's hand and told him to be careful under his feet. I can't forget that slap until now, just because I'm a girl, so I'm going to be inferior? Should I give everything I have for my brothers? ”

After so many years, when it comes to this, Xu Jing is still excited, tears running down her cheeks, "I never expected her to think about me for a minute and a half, so I never thought about separating, rather than go home and see her face, I would rather be a widow!" ”
