Sanniang didn't see Wang Xian, Wang Dong, and those people. In the evening, he left Wen's house with Xue's car.

In the carriage, Xue changed his usual soft face, sat upright, his back was straight, his lips were tightly pursed, but his eyes didn't know where to drift. Sanniang saw that Xue was like this, and she didn't bother her rashly, but just poured a cup of warm tea and put it in her hand.

The orange tea poured out from the slender spout of the slender and delicate pastel lady baby girl pattern teapot, and poured it into the same teacup that could only be held, making a clear sound, which made Xue come back to his senses.

Looking at the teacup that Sanniang put on the low table in his hand, Xue's eyes were fixed on the water surface that rippled slightly with the carriage's progress, and just as the autumn sun was falling, the orange but not warm glimmer shone into Xue's eyes through the gap in the car curtain, making her bright phoenix eyes also seem to ripple.

"When the Xue family was raided...... I was only six years old. When Xue spoke, his voice was a little dry.

Sanniang raised her eyes and looked at Xue, her eyes were calm and soft, indicating that she was listening.

Xue Shi seemed to want to hide something, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and warmed the tea into her throat, making her voice much smoother.

"At that time, I was in the inner courtyard, washing the clothes with my mother, which seemed to never be washed, because I accidentally washed the skirt of a big maid beside my wife, and my mother and I were punished by the housekeeper of the laundry room for not eating for a day. I was ignorant at that time, and I cried to my mother when I was hungry, but I only dared to cry quietly. When I smell the smell of food in the bowls of other maids eating in the yard. I felt like my stomach was aching, it felt like I was going to die. At that time, somehow, like a ghost on my body, I made one of the most vicious wishes of my life. ”

Xue's eyes were half-lowered. didn't look at Sanniang, but she felt Danniang's kind gaze on her.

Swallowing his saliva, Xue's voice was a little low: "I thought at the time." It would be nice if Mrs. Xue's house, Mama, and the housekeeper of the laundry room all disappeared. It's better to never come back. In this way, my mother and I will be able to eat enough. Thinking so, I also kowtowed three times to the western sky, I don't know why I kowtow, I haven't worshiped the Bodhisattva on weekdays, my mother looked at me in surprise, I just told her, I begged the Bodhisattva to give me food, my mother hugged me and cried. ”

Xue said. Feeling the warmth on the back of her hand, Sanniang put her hand on the back of Xue's hand after a few small hours. He shook it lightly and didn't let go again.

Xue smiled at Sanniang. But this smile was bitter: "Mama heard the crying of our mother and son, and she picked up the clothes pole in her hand and was about to knock it down, but ...... She'll never get a chance to hit me again. Outside, there was the sound of servants crying and grabbing the ground, and then our remote laundry room was surrounded by officers and soldiers. ”

With a slight winning, Xue Shi held Sanniang's hand with his backhand, as if he was drawing strength: "When I heard that even Madame's yard was not spared, I will always remember my reaction at that time, and I smiled." Sanniang, can you imagine my viciousness when I'm only six years old? I actually laughed, and I thought I would finally be able to eat enough and not have to be beaten again. At that time, I thought that I was worshipping the Bodhisattva County Spirit, and she heard my wish. ”

"After that, my mother and I were confiscated as official slaves, and then we were sold. Soon after, my mother fell ill and died. The main family only wrapped it in a straw mat, and I don't know where it was thrown. After that, I was bought a lot of places, and I was finally able to eat enough, but the days were getting worse day by day. Later, I thought, this is retribution, retribution for my vicious wish at the beginning. ”

When Xue said this, he seemed to have thought of something very bad, and his face turned a little pale.

"Mother?" Sanniang called her softly, not wanting her to be immersed in bad memories.

Xue reluctantly smiled at Sanniang: "You see, the only viciousness in my life has been retributed like this. So I said to myself, you must have a good heart to be a man, because people are watching the sky. Now I have a good life, with the master, with you, I feel very content, I think maybe God saw that he punished me enough, and gave me a blessing that I couldn't imagine before. Because of this, I actually live a little trembling every day, afraid that the old lady will take back my blessings. ”

"How so? I heard that the person who realizes bitterness first and then sweetness will be the happiest person, because she will know how to cherish it and will not lose it easily. Mother, you are a blessed one. ”

Tears flickered in Xue's eyes: "I originally thought the same way, but today's aunt's words scared me." I haven't forgotten the scene when Xue's house was raided over the years. I'm afraid ......"

Sanniang understood why the Xue family suddenly suffered like this, she was afraid that the Wang family would be angry with the emperor because of this matter, and finally ended up with the same fate as the Xue family at the beginning.

Those who have never experienced that kind of hardship will never understand the feeling of being helpless and precarious. Before the Xue family married into the Wang family, they had been living that kind of life.

Sanniang moved over to sit side by side with the Xue family, let her lean on herself, and she smiled faintly: "Mother, you are too worried, the Wang family has stood for more than two hundred years and has never fallen, and it has survived in the most desperate time, and today this matter is nothing at all." If the Wang family can't even withstand this bit of wind and rain, why can they boast of being a tumbler among the nobles of their own family? ”

Seeing Sanniang's understatement, Xue couldn't help but look up, and saw that Sanniang's eyes were soft but unexciting, she was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst into a smile: "You're right, what's wrong with me today?" Obviously, I should comfort you, and my aunt also explained the same, but in the end, you still have to comfort me. ”

Xue suddenly said seriously: "I actually believe it, how can the Wang family have a girl like you, how can it not be worthy of the name?" ”

Sanniang smiled, and seeing that Xue's mood had improved a lot, she led her to say some more words.

"Auntie asked me not to show my mouth in front of my mother and Erniang, and for the time being, I didn't know anything, but if there was any movement on my mother and Erniang's side, I would report it to her." Xue sighed.

Sanniang groaned, Wang Xian didn't plan to dispose of Erniang? Is it to avoid startling the snake?

If the younger generations of the clan are involved with the rebels of the alien race, they will either have to clean up the portal first, or they will be involved in the clan and deal with them secretly. If that's so careful...... Sanniang thought about it and couldn't help but smile.

Wang Xian is really an old fritter who has been rolling in the officialdom for many years after two dynasties, he always knows how to weigh the pros and cons and turn the disadvantage into an advantage, but he is ruthless enough.

Although he had to take some risks, Wang Xian dared to do this, and he should have a bottom in his heart. The Wang family, who has been loyal to the Xuan family for more than two hundred years, is not so easy to be abandoned by the master.

Erniang she ...... I'm afraid I can't get out now. After all, compared to her unfilial children and grandchildren, the Wang family is much more important.

The two returned to Mao'eryan Hutong, and first returned to Sun's room to greet Sun.

Sun glanced at Xue and Sanniang lazily, casually pointed to the chair on his right, and asked the two to sit down. This is what it means to have something to say.

"It's early to come back, how about winning or losing?" Sun asked nonchalantly. Today's post of the Su family said to let the Xue family play cards.

Xue Shi was always a little uncomfortable when she saw Sun at this time, and Er Niang was also beside her, so she made up her mind: "I didn't lose, I didn't win." The daughter-in-law's card skills are not good. ”

Sun nodded: "It's good if you don't lose, where is there a winning general at the poker table?" ”

Xue smiled and said yes.

Sun looked at Sanniang again: "Your wedding date is set for May of the following year, and the day is near." Don't think about running around all day long, it's not good for your in-laws to know, and in the future, you can embroider the dowry at home, learn some housekeeping skills from your grandmother, and don't go out easily. ”

Sanniang smiled and replied yes, and then she couldn't be more well-behaved.

In Sun's impression, this granddaughter has always been honest and responsible, so she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said to Xue: "In the future, you will take Erniang out to meet people, she and I came from my hometown in Shandong, and I don't know anyone in Beijing, which is always bad." ”

Xue glanced at Erniang and saw that she was just sitting next to Sun, smiling gently at her. I don't know why, this smile didn't make Xue Shi feel the slightest warmth, but made her feel a little chill in her heart.

Seeing that Xue didn't answer, Sun frowned, thought about it, but said: "I forgot that those ladies and ladies in this capital attach great importance to their backgrounds, and even if Erniang and a concubine go out with you to socialize, they will be despised." In this way, you can keep her by your side as a concubine, Erniang has always followed me, and she will not be wronged by being your concubine. ”

Xue Shi was startled, and looked at Sun Shi at first, but saw that Sun Shi had been looking at her, and that gaze was not allowed to refuse.

"This ......" Xue couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, and Sun waited for her to answer, and couldn't help but sweat in his palms. glanced at Erniang, and saw that although she was also smiling gently, her eyes were also fixed on herself, and Xue was even more uncomfortable in her heart.

Sanniang watched from the sidelines, frowning without a trace, and was thinking of a way to round this matter first, when a mother-in-law reported that Wang Dong was back.

Xue Shi was obviously relieved, but he had an idea, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mother, this is a good thing, my daughter-in-law has no opinion." But I still have to inform the master. (To be continued)
