Chapter 172: The Xue Family's Daughter
Sun Shi frowned when he heard this, and he was a man, and he was in such a hurry to pick up a woman, if he let people know what kind of system it would be. Even if it's his mentor's niece, he has to take care of some differences between men and women!
Lian Shi saw Sun's face and sighed: "No, don't be upset, after all, Miss Xue is the only bloodline left by your third teacher, no wonder he is anxious." Besides, ...... back then" Lian paused, glanced at the juniors who were sitting on the side listening to them, and stopped the topic.
She once heard her eldest son mention it back then, as if Xue Hanlin intended to tell Wang Dong about his daughter-in-law. And now seeing that Wang Dong is so concerned about the affairs of the Xue family, it may not have been unintentional back then, but it was just ...... Lian couldn't help but sigh.
Xue Meixin, the only concubine of Xue Hanlin, was extremely outstanding among the official ladies in the capital, and was once jokingly called the "Pearl of the Capital".
Seeing that Lian's voice was unknown, Sun also glanced at Sanniang and them, and said, "Okay, you guys go down first." I still have something to talk about with your four uncles and grandmothers. ”
Although the juniors were sitting in a regular manner just now, their ears were all listening, and they were also a little curious at this time. So when they saw that the Sun family was sending people at this time, they were all a little unwilling. But no one dared to disobey, so he only stood up and saluted the Sun and Lian clans.
Sun didn't care what his granddaughters thought in their hearts, and waved his hand.
Sanniang and the others could only exit the main house of the Sun family.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Sun said, "Now it's easier for us to talk as concubines." ”
Lian didn't want to mention it again. But seeing that the Sun family deliberately sent everyone out, after thinking about it, he could only say: "Xue Hanlin seems to have intended to marry your family back then, you should have heard of this, right?" ”
Sun's heart was stabbed when she heard this, she just heard that Sun had an idea about the third daughter-in-law, but she didn't know who it was. Because everyone treats her as her biological mother is an ornament. No one took her meaning to heart. Even the third child himself didn't mention half a sentence to her.
That time, the third child knelt in front of Lu's bed for a day and a night, and the water was not exhausted. Just to get Lu's consent to let him return to Beijing, Lu had no choice but to go on a hunger strike, so he made the third child bow his head.
Later, the person she planted in the Lu family's courtyard came to tell her. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" said that Lu and the third child were talking about his marriage. It seems that the Lu family is dissatisfied with the girl from the family that was set before, but Wang Dong still wants to ask to marry. Lu lost his temper, and Wang Dong knelt at the door of the room and begged her.
After that, Wang Dong fell seriously ill, and then Zhao entered the door.
Before Lu's death, Sun knew very little about Wang Dong's affairs.
Therefore, Sun's face was very stiff when he heard this. It turned out that she didn't even know what the Lian clan knew, that old pious woman of the Lu clan! Too much deception.
Lian didn't know what Sun was thinking at this time. She only thought that Sun was silent because she had heard about it. So he sighed and said: "If it can be done back then, it will also be a good marriage, but it's a pity that people are not as good as heaven." ”
Sun tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Say so." This time the third child went to pick up this girl? ”
When Lian heard this, he sighed again: "Xue Meixin, the eldest daughter of Xue Hanlin, was assigned to the Northwest Military Camp as a family member of a criminal official. ”
Sun gasped when he heard this. Looking up at Lian's family: "You mean the barracks?" ”
Lian nodded with pity: "It's a pity, such a good girl." ”
Sun also sighed. She had naturally heard of what the distribution of barracks meant to women, and it was nothing more than a plaything for the officers and men in the army. The young lady of the Xue family has been pampered since she was a child, and she doesn't know if she can get through it.
Lian shook his head: "Later, we didn't find a way to inquire, and your third child hasn't stopped looking for it over the years." But there was no news, and there was news from the army that Xue Meixin was humiliated and committed suicide by biting her tongue on the day she was sent to the barracks. ”
When the Sun family heard this, they also sighed at the fate of this young lady of the Xue family.
Thinking of Wang Dong's whereabouts at this time, Sun couldn't help but say: "According to what you said, this Miss Xue family can't even find the grave now." Then what is the bloodline left by Xue Hanlin that you just said? ”
Lian Shi let out an "oh" and explained: "The one I'm talking about is also Xue Hanlin's daughter, but she is not a concubine but a concubine born in a room. At that time, Mrs. Xue was a powerful person, and people in Beijing joked that Xue Hanlin married a Hedong lion. Therefore, we are all only Xue Hanlin, and there is only one son and one daughter from him. I didn't want to have a few years before the accident in the Xue family, but there was a Tongfang who was pregnant, and was driven to the laundry room by Mrs. Xue, and finally the Tongfang gave birth to a daughter, but no one knew outside. Therefore, this is all fate, but this Mrs. Xue's unvirtuous act back then was a good thing. This second lady of the Xue family escaped because of this. ”
"How could such a thing happen?" Sun said in amazement.
Lian nodded: "The second lady of the Xue family was confiscated and became an official slave together with that Tongfang, and was later sold by the official family. This was heard from a personal grandmother beside Mrs. Xue back then. Because I saw this Miss Xue back then, the eldest of my family asked me to take a look. I saw it yesterday, and the second lady of the Xue family actually had a similar resemblance to the pearl of the capital back then, and even more outstanding in appearance. ”
"You mean, this second lady of the Xue family has been raised as a slave all these years?" Sun frowned.
Hearing this, Lian Shi said with a straight face: "This identity is destined from birth, and Miss Xue Er is also from the Hanlin Xue family no matter what, and this cannot be changed." Xue Hanlin was also a literary and elegant figure back then, the daughter of such a family was destined to be the fate of the official lady, what kind of slave is not a slave! Besides, the saint has already overturned the case for the Xue family, and even the emperor will recognize the identity of the second miss of the Xue family at that time. ”
Sun knew that this kind of thing could not be argued with Lian, otherwise she would be the one who would be disgraced in the end. So he took a sip of tea and didn't speak.
At this time, someone outside reported that the third master had come back and was asking to see him outside.
Sun and Lian glanced at each other, and Lian said strangely: "Why did you come back so soon, did you not receive someone?" ”
Saying this, Wang Dong had already lifted the curtain and entered the room, but behind him was a woman of about sixteen or seventeen years old with gauze wrapped in gauze on her forehead. The woman was wearing a turquoise half-sleeved gown, decorated with only a black silver hairpin on her head, and she bowed her head slightly, and her face was a little pale. It's just that such a simple dress and weak physical condition did not detract from her beautiful and charming face in the slightest.
Wang Dong stepped forward to salute Sun and Lian, and the girl behind her looked up at Sun and Lian, who were sitting on the first seat, and Lian, who was sitting in the main seat, and also stepped forward to salute the two respectively.
She has a dignified posture, and her etiquette makes it impossible to find fault with it.
Sun and Lian glanced at each other again and nodded.
"Get up, you're still wounded." Sun said with a smile.
"Good boy, get up quickly, does your head hurt after walking all this way?" Lian's face was also full of concern.
The woman shook her head: "Thank you two old ladies, Sister Feng's injury is no longer in the way." ”
When Lian Shi heard this, he frowned and said, "How can it not be serious!" I saw it yesterday, and you shed so much blood, and you can survive it at a young age. But you have to be careful! You are a blessed child, I heard that there will be a reward after the Queen Mother, if you don't pay attention to your body, how can you miss Jun'en? ”
Saying that, Lian Shi turned his head and asked Wang Dong, "Didn't you want the carriage to go slower?" Why did you arrive so quickly? ”
Wang Dong's gaze never left Sister Xue Feng, and only when he heard the words did he come back to his senses and said, "When my nephew looked for me, Mei ...... Miss Xue's carriage had already left the city gate of the neighboring county. The grandmother beside her said Mei ...... Miss Xue was afraid that the elders would have to wait for a long time, so she had to hurry despite her injuries. Just this way, my nephew had deliberately slowed down the carriage. ”
Wang Dong looked at Sister Xue Feng's gaze very softly and lovingly.
As soon as Sister Xue Feng's eyes made contact with Wang Dong, she immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it.
"Mother, can you arrange a courtyard for Miss Xue for her to live in? She had nowhere else to go now. Wang Dong pleaded towards Sun.
Sun frowned when he heard this.
Lian said: "I originally wanted to take you to my house to live, just to be my wife and my companion." "The affairs of the Xue family have now been taken seriously by the emperor and the queen mother, but the Xue family is only left with Sister Xue Feng. As courtiers, they took the initiative to share the worries of the royal family, and the eldest of her family also wrote back to ask him to take good care of this teacher's daughter.
Seeing Lian's say this, the Sun family remembered that Wang Dong rarely begged her for anything, and the palace now attached great importance to this matter, so after thinking about it, he also smiled and said: "What did the fourth sister-in-law say, since Miss Xue has already advanced the door of my house, where is the reason to go to your place again?" When people find out, they think I'm driving people out. In this way, the Yingxue Courtyard in the West Courtyard is still empty, and it just so happens that this time it has been thoroughly cleaned because of the birthday banquet, and you can live in it. How about Miss Xue settling down in Yingxue Courtyard? ”
Yingxue Courtyard and Fangzhi Courtyard are also not separated from each other, Wang Dong remembered that the courtyard was still spacious, and he was not aggrieved Sister Xue Feng nodded: "Listen to my mother, just arrange it in Yingxue Courtyard, but Miss Xue only has an old grandmother by her side now, and my mother should send a few more stable girls to take care of it."
