Chapter 179: Fate
Huo Sijin was worried that some female relatives would ask about her in Yongji Temple, so she couldn't help but feel cramped, and the smile on her face became more and more stiff.
Fortunately, at this time, the storytelling began.
With a waking sound on the stage, everyone's eyes looked at the woman holding a bronzing folding fan.
Huo Sijin's eyes widened, looking at this woman who was hanging a sign in the teahouse and performing in front of the masters.
Most of the ladies present are also like Huo Sijin's thoughts, treating Bai Narcissus as a fox, but the woman in front of her is not at all different from what they imagined.
Not only is it not charming, but it is not beautiful in appearance, but it is not young in the posture of a middle-aged person, but his manners are generous and decent, and his eyebrows are heroic, which makes people feel good.
Old Madam Ou smiled and said, "This white narcissus has a look. ”
In fact, where is a good look, it is just the appearance that the ladies and wives like.
Everyone praised the old lady of the district together, and the mother of the fifth grandmother, Han Shi, said: "This woman has a face like a silver basin, with long eyebrows and big eyes, isn't she a good look?" is not like those who have no flesh and thin eyebrows and peach eyes, and they are foxes at first glance. ”
Everyone is snickering, Han also has resentment in his heart, so he said so, who among relatives doesn't know that Master Han just carried an aunt into the house, and that aunt is a melon seed face, thin eyebrows and peach blossom eyes.
The fifth grandmother's face was a little unbearable, and she gave Han a look, and Han was also shocked to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and was about to make a few jokes to expose this topic, but as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw a melon seed face with thin eyebrows and peach blossom eyes.
Han Shi was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but everyone's attention was on her, and seeing that she was suddenly stunned, he couldn't help but follow her gaze, and immediately knew what was going on with Han's face being blue and red for a while.
Huo Sijin, the eldest lady of the Huo family's East Mansion, isn't she just a melon seed face with thin eyebrows and peach blossom eyes?
When the third aunt and grandmother saw it, they hurriedly said, "Ouch, this white narcissus man speaks, just like the real thing." ”
Today's talk is about the female general breaking the Black Wind Village, she is learning the speech of the Black Wind Village master, and the rough and rough man's tone is really vivid.
Everyone's attention was attracted to her, and no one looked at Huo Sijin again.
Huo Sijin's back was already cold.
She didn't expect that she would be made fun of just sitting here.
She is the daughter of an official family, but people compare her to a storyteller.
Her eyes fell on the Han family like a knife, the father of the third grandmother was just an idle child of a family, and he only had the fame of a talent when he was middle-aged, but the Han family dared to make a big deal in front of her, why? Why?
At a glance, she saw Huo Zhi snuggling in the arms of the old lady of the district, and the old lady of the district lovingly pulled her broken hair behind her ear.
Yes, that's why, what's the use of her good background? She has no elders to maintain, no grandmother who loves her, no biological mother, her father and brother ignore her, in the eyes of others, she is just a bereaved eldest daughter who has been sent to the nunnery since she was a child and is not favored by the family.
Her head was buzzing, what Bai Shuixian said, and what the two little actors sang later, she didn't turn a deaf ear, but fortunately, Mama Yan was not at ease, only Cui Wei came over, came from Dongfu to look for her, and saw that her expression was wrong, so she made an excuse to let her go back early.
Huo Sijin returned to his room and sat for a while before he began to sobble and cry.
Mama Yan had already asked the ins and outs from Cuiwi's mouth, and when she saw Huo Sijin crying, she said with a straight face: "Miss, what's the use of you crying?" Is it that Mrs. Han saw you crying, so she stopped arranging you? Or did the old lady of the district see you crying, and she loves you as if you were her own granddaughter? ”
"But, Mama, what else can I do but cry, what else can I do, it's my life." Huo Sijin raised a pair of teary eyes, pitiful, like green bamboo in the rain.
Mama Yan sighed and said, "Do you understand now?" Although you have come to the capital with great difficulty, the people in the capital have not really accepted you, not only the people outside, but also the Huo family, these relatives and six relatives have not taken you seriously, the more they are like this, the more you have to be self-reliant, and you can't let them look down on you. ”
Huo Sijin's eyes showed despair, what else could she do? It was not easy for her to see the Queen Mother, but she was reprimanded by the Queen Mother.
She was very careful with Old Madam Feng and Huo Yuan, but they were not only indifferent to her, but they were also sneering.
She made shoes and socks for her father and sent them to her father's yard, but that day, Cui Wei learned from the little girl in her father's yard that her father did not wear the shoes and socks she made once.
She didn't know what else she could do, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she fell on the bed crying.
Mama Yan sneered: "It's useless for you to just cry, isn't Mrs. District going to take you to Hao's house to celebrate Mrs. Chai's birthday?" There are still a few days left, so you might as well think about what birthday gift you will give to Mrs. Chai at that time. ”
Huo Sijin was stunned and sobbed: "I'm just a junior, and I'm going to celebrate my birthday with my elders, so I don't need to prepare another birthday gift." ”
As she spoke, she quickly thought about what she could give away as a birthday gift.
If the only thing she is pleased with is that the Huo family did not harsh her on the monthly case, her monthly case is the same as that of her aunt Huo Yuan, which is ten taels per month, in addition, her father also let the housekeeper in his yard quietly supplement her forty taels of silver every month, and I heard Mama Yan say that it is the main mother in charge of the middle feed in the Xungui Mansion, and it is only forty or fifty taels of silver every month, and the official eunuch family like the Huo family is at most ten taels or eight taels.
She heard Mama Yan say: "The more juniors from other families don't give gifts, the more you can show that you are different from them, although the Hao family only invites relatives and old friends, but with the current status of Lord Hao, there must be some female relatives who come uninvited, you already have a reputation in the capital, and now you have been praised and praised by Mrs. Chai, even if you don't have the elders in the family to maintain, you are still a good lady in the capital outside, and you are afraid that there will be no good relatives to send to the door?" ”
Family affairs?
Mama Yan has said many times that if a woman wants to change her fate, she must marry a good man.
With her background, it is not difficult to find a good person, but Mama Yan said that this is not enough.
She has suffered so much, if she is just a young grandmother of an ordinary eunuch, those hardships will be in vain.
Her personality is different from ordinary people, she ......
She was destined to fly on the branches to be a phoenix.
It's her life, she's been preparing for it since she was eight or nine years old, she can't just leave it at that.
