Hearing this, Sanniang looked at Xue and said, "If there is something wrong with my mother,."

Xue shook his head and said, "Cousin, she has been sick since she came, and my cousin has been serving by her side, so you have never had a chance to see her." In the future, they will still live in our house, so you should meet them and come back and forth in the future. ”

When Sanniang heard this, she sat down obediently again.

Hearing Xue say that her cousin had been sick and her cousin was sick, Sanniang was noncommittal in her heart. More than once, she saw someone on the opposite side of the east chamber probing her brain into the west chamber, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.

Soon a maid led the two in, and Sanniang saw these two "relatives" of the Xue family for the first time.

The older one should be the Xue family's third aunt Feng, it stands to reason that she should be thirty or forty years old, but this woman looks about the same age as her uncle and grandmother Li, and she looks much older than her grandmother Sun, and her temples are already white. The thin and shriveled body seems to be unable to support the maroon flash satin gown, and there is even a ruyi pattern gold hairpin on his head, but it always makes people feel nondescript, for example, he doesn't look like a prince when he wears a dragon robe.

This really doesn't look like a lady from a high-ranking family, and Sanniang secretly looked at the girl behind her who looked like she was ten ** years old.

Fortunately, this girl is still quite delicate, and she is not old enough to be age-appropriate. It's just that Sanniang doesn't know if the girls of the Xue family will have moles, and the mole of the Xue family is very good, and it is in the center of the eyebrows, which is an out-and-out beauty mole. Xue Ruyu also had a mole on her face, but it was at the top of the right corner of her mouth, like a matchmaker's mole. She's young, though. The appearance is quite delicate, so it is not very ugly. It's just that this Xue girl doesn't know if it's because she dislikes the mole on the corner of her mouth, so she always feels that she uses the handkerchief in her hand to print the corner of her mouth and wants to block the mole.

But Sanniang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she saw what she was wearing, this Xue girl was wearing a snow-blue pigmented gown today. The material doesn't look very good, and I don't know if it's a little old because it's tingling a slight yellow. She had a simple hairpin on her head, which was held in place with a wooden hairpin. The rest of the body has no jewelry on it.

Sanniang remembered that the Xue family had sent a few new clothes the day before yesterday, but I don't know why this Xue girl was still dressed like this.

Xue got up and shouted with a smile, and welcomed her to the seat next to him. Mrs. Xue San excused herself several times to see Xue's sincerity. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" sat down. Xue greeted Xue Ruyu again.

Sanniang had already gotten up when the Xue family got up, and saluted the two of them, and only sat down when several people sat down.

Sanniang felt that Xue Ruyu's eyes were staring at her, which was a little rude.

Sanniang didn't know why, although it was the first time they met, she was a little disgusted with this Xue Ruyu, but she had never been happy and angry in front of outsiders. was displeased to see it, but raised his head and smiled generously at Xue Ruyu.

Xue Ruyu turned her head to look at the furnishings in the room.

Xue and Feng exchanged a few words, and Xue looked at Xue Ruyu with some surprise: "Why is my sister dressed up like this today?" But you don't like the clothes I sent? ”

When Xue Ruyu heard this, her eyes were still looking at the blue and white three-legged two-eared lion button incense burner on the table. didn't look at Xue, just pouted and said, "Thank you, Madame, for your generosity." It's just that Ruyu doesn't have the habit of wearing old clothes, so let's take those clothes back. ”

Xue Shi was choked by this, and only after a while did he explain: "Sister, those are not old clothes, I haven't put them on yet." When Feng and Xue Ruyu entered the mansion, they didn't have a single good dress, so Mama Xue picked out a few good materials that Xue had made for her before and gave them to Feng. Xue also selected a few new clothes from his suitcase that had not yet been put on and gave them to Xue Ruyu.

"I wanted to make a new one for you in a few days, but I was busy with things these days, so I could only grieve my aunt and cousin to wear it first." Xue explained to Feng.

Feng Shi hurriedly smiled: "Madam is busy, we know, we know." ”

Xue Ruyu had a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were fixed on Sanniang's body again. Xindao, really when she is a three-year-old child, when she sees her stepson and stepdaughter coming, she is making new clothes and new jewelry, and she will be empty when it is her turn? She had seen the tailor enter the west wing opposite.

Seeing that the so-called cousin of this maid was still there pretending to explain, Xue Ruyu was about to point to the stab on Sanniang's body.

Sanniang didn't wait for her to speak, but said to Xue with a smile: "Mother, I think you misunderstood what Aunt Xue meant." I have heard that the Xue family has always been rigorous, and the Xue family has been a model for the world's scholars since the reign of Emperor Gaozong. ”

Sanniang paused, seeing that Feng and Xue Ruyu both had some pride on their faces, and even Xue felt that there was light on their faces when they heard this.

Sanniang smiled slightly, and continued: "So Aunt Xue, it's not that she dislikes your bad clothes, but because the Xue family is so good, she is unwilling to accept too valuable gifts from others." Even if you present a box of gold, silver, jewelry, pearls, and agate, presumably Mrs. Xue and Aunt Xue will not be rare, but you will insult the dignity of the Xue family. So my daughter guessed that maybe the clothes and jewelry you sent were too exquisite and gorgeous, so Aunt Xue wouldn't wear them. ”

This time it was Xue Ruyu's turn to be stunned.

Feng and Xue Ruyu, the mother and daughter, have basically not been to Xue's room since they came to the mansion, Xue has not had much contact with them, and they don't know them very well.

Sanniang nodded: "I heard my grandmother and father say that they once talked about the Xue family's character, so I think that Aunt Xue must be like this, and it will not be wrong." ”

Xue saw that Sanniang moved out of the two mountains above her head at once, and she has always relied on and trusted Wang Dong since she became a parent, and she couldn't say that Sanniang was wrong with what she said, it was slapping the Xue family in the face, so she also nodded and smiled: "That is the case, then another day, I will let people make a few clothes from simpler fabrics and send them to my cousin." ”

Xue Ruyu saw the two mothers and daughters singing and harmonizing, thinking that the two had colluded to show their faces, and almost crushed their silver teeth. Sanniang smiled, lowered her head to drink tea and stopped talking.

Now is different from the past, if she can still let any cat or dog bully her, she should not think about her life in the future. Forbearance is never a result, it is just a means.

"My aunt came here with my cousin today, but what's the matter?" Xue asked Feng Shidao.

Feng glanced at his daughter, and when he saw that she was still twisting her head to the side and ignoring this side, he secretly glanced at her. Seeing that Xue Shi looked at her a little strangely, she could only smile and say, "Also, there is nothing wrong." ”

"Ahem......" Xue Ruyu covered her mouth and coughed lightly.

"What's wrong with my cousin? Do you want me to get a doctor for you? Xue looked at Xue Ruyu.

Xue Ruyu glanced at her mother, and when she saw the look of embarrassment on her face, she couldn't help but be a little angry, her mother had become so cautious and timid in the midst of the civilians, that she didn't even dare to speak in front of a slave of the Xue family.

Xue Ruyu had no choice, so she had to speak: "I heard that tomorrow is the chrysanthemum banquet in Prince Li's mansion before I entered the mansion, and I heard that there are invitations in our mansion. As he spoke, he looked at Xue with a pair of eyes.

Xue Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked tentatively: "Cousin means that you also want to go there to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet?" ”

Xue Ruyu sneered in her heart when she heard this. See, that means she didn't have her share at all.

"I remember the first day my mother and I came, and my wife used to say that Jean would treat us as family, and let us mother and daughter make this our own home. But I didn't expect that Madame was just a face-saving article, and it turned out that none of the good things in this house were ours! In that case, what did you pretend to do with us? ”

The Xue family was choked again, since the two mothers and daughters of the Xue family came, whether it was food or clothing, she picked it out and sent it to them. They have what they have, and sometimes there is something that is less, and she would rather not use it herself than lose their mother and daughter's share. She didn't know where Xue Ruyu's words came from.

It's just that she has a soft temperament, and she thinks that this cousin has been pampered as a daughter since she was a child, so she doesn't want to argue with her, but she doesn't speak so much that it seems as if she is really in the wrong.

Xue Ruyu sneered again, with an expression that was really like this.

I think she is a young lady, but she had to hide in the market because she was implicated by her grandmother, and she suffered for so many years. Now he wants to beg for a living under this slave, which is really an unspeakable grievance.

She already knew that this so-called cousin, who was not even as good as a slave in the Xue family, is now married to a husband who is a third-grade official, and she secretly saw him coming back in court clothes behind the window, he is really a good man. And Sister Xue Feng can marry such a wishful husband only because her surname is Xue.

Mama Xue once mentioned to them that the emperor gave Sister Xue Feng so much decency because she was ashamed of the Xue family, and she couldn't help but think that if there was no such person as Sister Xue Feng or that she had died in an unknown corner over the years, then the Miss Xue family, who was closest to her cousin's uncle, was her, and all this glory and wealth were also something she should enjoy. Therefore, all that Sister Xue Feng has now, including the three-grade orders on her head, should have robbed herself.

A person who was born as a slave and maid actually robbed her own future as a young lady, how could she be willing? (To be continued)
