Chapter 18: Dai Zhai
Chapter 18: Dai Zhai
This is the real ancient times, where everything is about the life of parents, there is no human rights, and there is no fairness.
"Why should I go, I said I would stay, then I will stay!" Xia Meizhen's anger is hard to dissipate.
"In this world, the fate of parents is greater than heaven, who is so disobedient as you? White-eyed wolf, are you sorry? I treat you like my own daughter, and fortunately you were not born to me. Jiang Yunxian said coldly.
Xia Meizhen's mother died because of dystocia, and Xia Zhiyuan couldn't take a child alone, so he married her in a hurry, without a dowry, without a matchmaker, and became a mother as soon as she entered the door, this is a dead knot in her heart, a dead knot that no one can untie.
"I must go to Dai's house!" Xia Meizhen also sank her face, and rushed back to the room after speaking.
Jiang Yunxian pointed in the direction where Xia Meizhen disappeared, and scolded angrily: "Go, you go, my vicious stepmother has wronged you, and I didn't treat you as an ancestor, you hurry up and let me go!" Go far! β
In the courtyard of the Xia family, it was quiet all of a sudden.
Outside the house, lanterns hung in the corridor, and the cold pale white light shone in through the cracks in the windows, like silver-white insects.
Xia Meizhen lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
To be honest, after a year of getting along, Jiang Yunxian actually treated her quite well, and she had never lost her temper like today, which she had never done before, and it seemed that she was really angry.
However, in her bones, she can't be manipulated by others.
Xia Meizhen was wrapped in a thin quilt and rolled into a caterpillar, and she ordered herself not to think about these bad things.
There was a weaving sound from the room next to it, clatter, clatter, Jiang Yunxian was weaving again.
Xia Meizhen sat up irritably, lit the lamp in the dark, and then sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
She knew that Jiang Yunxian regarded her as Xia Meizhen, and besides, she was an ancient, she was a modern person, and her thinking was different, so it was really naΓ―ve for her to try to reverse her thoughts......
However, she quarreled with Jiang Yunxian, and said that if she didn't do what she wanted to do, she would be sorry for the slap......
Xia Meizhen thought in a mess, and she didn't know when the weaving sound would stop.
Jiang Yunxian knocked twice on the window, and Xia Meizhen hurriedly opened the window opposite.
"Still not sleeping so late? Hey! I don't care what you do, it's really ......" Jiang Yunxian said, without waiting for Xia Meizhen to speak, he turned around and left.
The next day, Xia Meizhen woke up very early, but because she slept late last night, her eyelids were deeply dark.
Jiang Yunxian didn't speak when she saw her, she simply made some breakfast and sat at the table alone to eat.
"Wow! It's so fragrant! β
Xia Meizhen said with a smile that she had a bowl and sat opposite Jiang Yunxian to eat.
Jiang Yunxian didn't speak, nor did he look at her.
Xia Meizhen said to herself, "Mother, it's my daughter, it's not right, I shouldn't have done it against you." β
She was mistaken.
Jiang Yunxian still didn't speak, went to wash the dishes after eating, and didn't look at Xia Meizhen.
"I was wrong, mother, I admit that I was wrong, don't be angry." Xia Meizhen kept looking at Jiang Yunxian, and when she saw that she still didn't react, she poured beans in her mouth and said, "It's because I don't know how to do it, I don't know my mother's hard work......"
"Since my father passed away, the family can't make ends meet, it's not easy for you, mother, I see it in my eyes, but I understand it too late, so you are angry. I promised Aunt Wu that incident, and I also want to reduce your burden......" The more she spoke, the quieter she became, for fear that Jiang Yunxian, who would accidentally provoke her, would be unhappy.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunxian paused, put the bowl into the bowl, and turned his head to look at her suspiciously, "Changing your face is like turning a book, aren't you going to Dai's house?" Don't you have to be honest and keep your promises? β
Xia Meizhen went over and held her hand and said affectionately, "Look at what my mother said, it's just that I figured it out, this honesty or something, where is it important to have a mother, if my mother doesn't want me anymore, what's the use of me having those things!" In this world, only my mother is the best for me! β
"Get up, what kind of meaty words are you talking about!" Jiang Yunxian's face was slightly red and slapped her hand away, "I don't know how to be ashamed." β
As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Meizhen, her thin body, delicate appearance, big eyes, and shabby clothes, but it made people take a second look, and wanted to take a second look.
Finally sighed, took her hand, and said earnestly: "If you really want to go to the Dai family to work, I won't stop you, but there is one thing you must remember - don't get entangled with those people in the yard, let alone get along with those merchant masters, masters." When your mother gets the money, she will redeem you, and then restore your status as a good person. Do you think so? β
Xia Meizhen didn't know what the reason was for her to agree, but no matter what, she was already moved, and nodded violently in agreement.
"Mm-hmm, I must remember my mother's words." As she spoke, she asked, "But, mother, I have something I want to be sure...... Do you really think my noodles are better than my daddy's? β
Jiang Yunxian turned around and left, and his voice was neither salty nor light, "No matter how delicious you are, it will be someone else's in the future, what good is it for me?" β
Xia Meizhen is embarrassed, is she praising her in disguise?
Then he smiled again, hurriedly followed Jiang Yunxian, cleaned up a little, and went out.
Dai's family is in Xuanzhou Mansion Chengxi Street, and Xuanzhou Mansion is the nearest largest city to Lingyang Village.
She followed Jiang Yunxian's side, looking around with a pair of eyes, and from time to time she would reach out and touch the gadgets on the roadside stalls, with a look of novelty.
"Tsk, ancient things are just good, this bottle is so beautiful!"
"This comb is also good, handmade? How much does that cost? Don't don't! β
Xuanzhou Mansion has been one of the towns harassed by foreigners for many years, and every autumn and winter, it will increase its defense at the city gate.
Xia Meizhen suddenly saw so many soldiers with knives and guns, and her thin shoulders couldn't help but shrink, fortunately, it was Li Laoying who was on duty today, and he already recognized the mother and son, so he nodded and let them in.
When they arrived in front of Dai's house, there were not many people on the street, and in front of the closed vermilion gate of Dai's house, the solemn word Dai's house was a famous man's handiwork at a glance.
Xia Meizhen looked left and right, and saw that a corner door had opened next to the vermilion gate, where two girls in green dresses were talking to people.
Jiang Yunxian walked over with her, first let the two girls in green skirts in, and then reported to the porter.
"We are from the Xia family in Lingyang Village, and we were introduced by Aunt Wu, so please let the little brother pass it on."
The porter had already received instructions from above, and the smile on his face was very flattering, "The housekeeper has already explained, saying that as soon as Miss Xia comes, she will go to find the lady, and you don't have to worry about the others." β
The two girls who had already entered in front leaned out from behind the wall and looked this way.
"It's a relation. I also want to enter Zhaochan Temple. One said.
"Look at her appearance, thin and small, she will definitely run home in less than three days!" Said the one above her.
"That's it, our third lady hates to come in the relationship the most! Let's go, let's go find Miss Three. The girl below said, supported by the other, and then both shrank back and walked away.
Jiang Yunxian's mother and daughter didn't know about the conversation here, she said to the concierge without humility or arrogance: "Thank you so much, madam, and ask the little brother for guidance, where does Madame want to meet us?" β
But I heard the porter say: "Oh, by the way, the housekeeper also said that Mrs. Xia can just send people, and there is no need to reply to Mrs. Xia." β
