Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sending the Sheep into the Tiger's Mouth
What An Sheng said was actually just a clichΓ©, and Xia Yuan understood these truths, but Xue's words provoked him to make an arbitrary decision without weighing the pros and cons for a while.
He hesitated for a while, Xia Zixian on the side got up and poured a cup of tea for him, and said to the point: "The second sister is not in conflict with whether to study medicine or not, why should my father and mother stop it?" β
An Sheng sneered in his heart, today's incident was clearly instigated by her Xia Zixian, but she didn't expect her to be cheap and good, and mediate between them and become a good person? Moreover, she still did not forget to emphasize the matter of marriage to her father, and her intentions were self-evident.
When a woman gets married, she doesn't reject marrying, maybe marrying someone is her own rebirth, but will she let herself have a little bit of good?
Thinking about Xia Zixian in her previous life, she also had such a style, she liked to make waves in secret, and then pretended to protect herself, she was so stupid to survive, and regarded her as a close friend, if she didn't live again, she wouldn't understand that this person was sinister.
It's just that he is now isolated in Xia Mansion, and if he tears his face with her, it will be harmful to himself, so An Sheng can only climb up along Xia Zixian's pole.
"Anyway, my sister must cure your stubborn illness, and you must not give up halfway."
"It's still the purple fiber girl who is the most sensible." Xia Yuanwai praised: "An Sheng has passed the sentence, and the daughter is not staying, should she hurry up and talk about her mother-in-law's family, whether she wants her to stay in the medicine house to study medicine, or her future husband and Aunt Weng have the final say." β
An Sheng had a busy day today, she was originally dizzy, and she only felt anxious at this time, not knowing how she could speak to make her father dispel this idea, let alone how to deal with it, she was a little silent for a while.
Xue glanced at her coldly, and said to Xia Yuanwai: "I can't control the family affairs of your daughter, you should pay attention to yourself, so as not to complain about good and bad things in the future." β
"Why did Madame say that? Have I ever complained to you? You've worked so hard for this family, and I'm too late to appreciate it. β
"I'm worried and strained, aren't you on guard of me everywhere? How could you ever believe it sincerely? β
"Nonsense!" Xia Yuanwai was slightly angry: "You are the child's mother, can you still harm her?" Who would dare to make irresponsible remarks? What's more, tomorrow I will leave Beijing to collect grain, and I will leave for less than ten years, and more than a month, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, so I will leave this Ansheng's marriage to you to worry about. β
An Sheng can be said to have suffered helpless blows one after another today, and Xia Yuanwai's words made her instantly fall into an ice cave.
He wants to leave Beijing to collect grain, and he is not in the mansion, and the Xue family takes retreat as advance, and asks for the autonomy of his relatives, so can't he take the opportunity to do whatever he wants, and how many hands and feet to do?
My father doesn't know when he will come back, and by then the wood has already been completed, and even if he regrets it, it's too late.
If the Xue family is really like in the previous life, selling himself to the eunuch as an outer room, he will call the heavens undesirable and the earth unspiritual, either he will be captured obediently, or the jade will be burned.
Past...... It was like this in the previous life, Xia Ziwu's words are still in my ears: "When my father comes back from Beijing, we will tell him that you eloped with someone, do you guess, will my father pursue it?" β
An Sheng only felt a little cold all over his body, as if the Xue family, Xia Ziwu, and Xia Zixian had all turned into a group of hungry wolves, staring at him with green eyes and white fangs, his eyes were full of greed and ferocity.
"Dad, can you not go?"
She asked bitterly, with a hint of pleading.
"Daddy, this is an errand on an errand, do you think you can resist the order?" Xia Ziwu pointed her nostrils to the sky.
Xia Yuanwai waved at her impatiently: "Even your sister understands the truth, and you, as a sister, still have to ask knowingly." Go back, in the days when I am away, remember to listen to your mother's words, take care of your two younger sisters, and obey the rules in the medicine house, and do not exceed the distance. β
An Sheng bit his lower lip tightly, forcing the wetness in his eyes back. She knew that she had lost this confrontation, although she persuaded her father that she would not prevent her from studying medicine, but her father personally handed over his lifelong happiness, or fate, to the Xue family.
As soon as her father leaves, the Xue family can be unscrupulous, and she Xia Ansheng and her sister Xia Anran don't know what kind of calculations to accept.
She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep peacefully, and only fell asleep in the morning in a hazy way. In a daze, he heard the sound of Xia Yuanwai's low voice ordering his subordinates to carry him to the car, so he sat up in shock, wanted to get up to see his father off, and chased out of the door, the carriage outside Xia Yuanwai had already kicked away in dust.
She stood at the door of the house, stunned for a long time, feeling empty in her heart, without any support.
Xia Ziwu also yawned and came out of the world, and when she saw An Sheng stunned at the door, she smiled proudly: "Why hasn't the second sister left today?" β
An Sheng ignored her and turned around and went home.
Xia Ziwu moved under her feet and stretched out her arms to block her way.
An Sheng raised his head: "What to do?" β
Xia Ziwu smiled "hehe": "If you don't do anything, you just kindly remind you, as soon as my father leaves, the carriage in this house is a little nervous." From today on, Uncle Wang will be waiting in the palace and cannot come and go at will. If you go to the medicine store, I'm sorry, go by yourself. β
"You!"
An Sheng couldn't help but be angry, and the medicine house was located in a relatively remote area, one east and one west with Xiafu, passing through most of the capital. If you walk back and forth, it will be almost an hour, and you go out early and return late, it is when the carriage is idle, Xia Ziwu is obviously deliberately embarrassed for herself.
"How am I?" Xia Ziwu raised her chin arrogantly, like a proud fighting: "Do you still want to do it?" β
Xia Ziwu mentioned the word "hands-on", and An Sheng suddenly died down.
In their previous lives, Xia Ziwu and the Xue family were like this, repeatedly and deliberately angering themselves, making themselves unscrupulous, and for this reason, the name of being barbaric and vulgar was exaggerated by the Xue family and spread in the streets and alleys of the capital. Therefore, she was still unpopular until she was eighteen or nineteen years old, and she became an old girl who couldn't get married, a shame in her father's eyes.
An Sheng reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled slightly: "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise it would be really late." β
turned around and hurriedly left the Xia Mansion, and really took a step towards the medicine house.
Ansheng is a natural foot and has not wrapped his feet, so it is not difficult to walk. For three or four days in a row, he went out early and returned late, and he hid Leng Nanxian and Qianzhou as if nothing happened.
She has rarely had the opportunity to leave the house in recent years, and now she is a little inexplicably excited when she shuttles through the streets and alleys in the morning and evening.
Especially when the morning sun rises and the golden light shines all over the city, the whole capital begins to be noisy, and the morning stalls on the street are steaming with an enticing aroma, and drifting out with a loud and distant shout.
The door panels on the side of the street were taken off, and the still sleepy-eyed guys were busy with their work while eagerly waiting for the arrival of customers.
The people of all shapes and sizes shuttle between the shops and the breakfast stalls, and they are full of vitality in the morning.
An Sheng hurried away while touching the medical bag he was carrying, if there were silver taels, he should buy a few things that he brought over to Master Leng and Qianzhou to taste earlier, especially the oily fried tiger buns wrapped in eggs, and the tofu brain poured with shrimp skin and leek sauce, which was slippery in the mouth and flowed down his throat, Master Leng must like it.
"Whew!"
A dog barked, dull and vicious.
The crowd in front of them suddenly seemed to be thrown into a string of cannonballs, and people scattered in all directions with screams and screams.
The atmosphere of peace and tranquility was disturbed, and the people around them craned their necks and looked at each other, not understanding what was happening.
"General, be honest!"
There is a girl's delicate voice, with a lazy taste, unhurried.
