Chapter 129: Entering the House
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Zhao Xianglan had an affair with the village chief before, and even gave Xue's father arsenic, such a ruthless woman, if she slept together on the couch again, she might be bitten on the neck by this poisonous snake at some point, and she would die with a whimper.
Father Xue was very frightened in his heart, and immediately divorced his wife, who would have thought that after a few years, he would enter Beijing with Zhao Xianglan again, and I don't know what means this woman used, she had such a great ability, so that he forgot the great hatred and took people with him.
Xue Su knew that he had no way to avoid it, so he simply reached out and lifted the curtain and jumped directly from the carriage.
Seeing her stepdaughter's moist and fair cheeks, Zhao Xianglan felt how aggrieved she was, she only felt that this hoof was really unfilial, she lived a comfortable life in the capital, but she never cared about her father and brother, so alone, sooner or later there would be no good end!
Secretly scolded a few words in her heart, Zhao Xianglan was a lot happier, the smile on her plump face was undiminished, she came to Xue Su step by step, took the latter's hand affectionately, and said gently:
"Su Niang, since you left Jingyang, we have been separated for nearly three years, and my mother now sees you, and I don't recognize you a little."
Hearing this, Xue Su's face was very ugly, she brushed Zhao Xianglan's hand away and took a step back.
"My mother has passed away a long time ago, and if I remember correctly, my father also wrote a letter of resignation, why are you still messing around?"
Zhao Xianglan has a good face, and she is also used to putting on the score of her elders, when she heard this, her face turned red and white, and she gritted her teeth with hatred.
Chu Qinghe, who is tall and imposing, is nearby, he was hooked by Xue Su, and he is very protective of this cheap hoof, if he hates himself because of this, it is really not a good thing.
After living for so many years, Zhao Xianglan also has some small calculations.
For the sake of glory and wealth, she is willing to knock out her teeth and swallow blood, but Xue Cheng is different, he is only thirteen this year, because he is the only seedling of the Xue family, he has been spoiled when he is a child, and he has developed a temperament that people hate dogs.
I saw that he rushed forward suddenly, making a gesture to push Xue Su, but before the palm of his hand touched the woman's clothes, he was clamped by Chu Qinghe, and a pig-like howl came out of his mouth.
"Let go of me! Let go! Hurt! Daddy save me! โ
Father Xue never cared about Xue Su's daughter, but Xue Cheng was different, this was his lifeline, extremely expensive, and there could be no mistakes.
This man, who had aged a lot, strode forward, his eyes widened, and he said sharply, "Quickly let go of Brother Cheng, that is your own brother, even if it is Master Hou, you can't disrespect your elders and do disobedient and unfilial evil things!" โ
As early as when she was in Jingyang, Xue Su was extremely disgusted with Xue's father, but it was a pity that the Dayu Dynasty valued filial piety the most, although she was a married daughter, she could not violate the norm, otherwise other people's spit stars could drown her alive.
"Let go first."
The woman opened her mouth lightly, and her warm breath was like a mountain stream, blowing in Chu Qinghe's ears, making the anger burning in the man's chest dissipate a lot.
"As a younger brother, he actually made a move on the eldest sister, if there is a next time, Ben Hou doesn't mind asking for family law, so that Brother Cheng can teach him a long lesson."
At this moment, Chu Qinghe was not joking, but moved the real fire.
He was in a high position, and he already had a terrifying momentum, and under the deliberate deterrence, the sound was like a bell, and it was like thunder, which frightened Xue Cheng to the point of fear, and his legs were weak, if it weren't for Xue's father holding his arm, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground a long time ago.
The Hou Mansion is located on the main street, and many people used to pass by.
Xue Su didn't want to be seen as a joke, and said in a low voice, "I'll talk about something when I go in." After the words fell, she pulled the man's robe and walked into the door without looking back.
Seeing this, Father Xue showed hesitation, as if he had taken root under his feet, and stood motionless, but Zhao Xianglan was full of anticipation, hurriedly pushed him, and said in a low voice:
"What are you doing standing here? Don't want to get in yet? Brother Cheng'er's future is counting on his sister and brother-in-law, and we are bound to stay in the Chu family in order to live a good life. โ
Hearing this, Father Xue also felt that it made perfect sense, and hurriedly pulled his son to follow behind, refusing to delay at all.
The house in Tonghua Lane is not small, not counting the main courtyard and the Minglian Courtyard where Liansheng lives, there are many elegant courtyards.
Except for Grandma Xue, Xue Su has no feelings for the Xue family, and can even be said to be extremely bored, as early as when she was in Jingyang, Xue's father persecuted her three or four times for Yan Ruyu, if she didn't want to repay the debt, I'm afraid things would be extremely difficult to get right.
Those scenes came to the woman's mind like a wandering horse, and now that her life was just right, these people came to stir it up, and they must be sent away, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be at peace.
Thinking about it, she specially picked Ningshui Pavilion and placed the big family in it, the small courtyard is located in a remote location, but it is well repaired, and there should be nothing wrong with it.
Instructed Steward Li to take the Xue family to Ningshui Pavilion, and along the way, when they saw the mountains, rocks, grass and trees of the Hou Mansion, the three of them were dumbfounded, and the greed on their faces was not concealed at all.
"It's really good here, if this house can be given to Brother Cheng, there will be no worries about pension in the future." Zhao Xianglan opened her mouth and pouted.
Father Xue couldn't help but be moved, and echoed, "I also think this place is very good." โ
Steward Li, who was leading the way in front, frowned without a trace when he heard this, and said, "This mansion is given by His Majesty, and it can't be sold easily, otherwise I'm afraid it will get into trouble." โ
Steward Li has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for many years, but he has also developed a good eyesight, and in just a moment, he can see the nature of the three members of the Xue family clearly.
Zhao Xianglan was choked, she has lived for half her life, she has been staying in Anning Village, the farthest place she has been to is Jingyang, and she has never seen much of the world, if it weren't for Xue Yue sending a letter to her hometown, she didn't know that Xue Su had such a great creation, and a blind man who married casually could become an auxiliary marquis, which was really a good fate.
"This house is a gift from the Emperor?"
Steward Li nodded.
No matter how bold Zhao Xianglan and Father Xue were, they didn't dare to go against the emperor, the two of them bowed down and shrank their shoulders, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and when they entered the hall of Ningshui Pavilion, their ugly complexions improved a little.
At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xue Cheng was shocked by Chu Qinghe, fortunately, he was young and forgetful, and he quickly recovered his freedom, and he went around the house in a circle, whether it was a good porcelain vase, or Bogu Tongjin, he did not escape his poisonous hands.
There were two little maids standing at the door, and when they heard the crackling sound inside, they secretly glanced at each other, and they both saw distressed looks on each other's faces.
After Steward Li left, Father Xue breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and muttered, "It's just a slave, and I don't know the rules at all, so I really look down on people." โ
Holding a tea bowl in her hand, Zhao Xianglan's eyelids moved, and said, "What are you talking about with him, the most important thing now is to let your son-in-law send Cheng Ge'er to Guozijian, I heard that the people who study there are all sons and sons of high-ranking families, and if the son goes there, it will not be far from the day of the top student in high school." โ
In Zhao Xianglan's heart, her son is extremely smart, although he has no achievements in the school, but it is because the level of the gentleman in the village is not enough, so it is like this.
Now that he has arrived in the capital, Cheng Ge'er will soon be like Wang Youqing, soaring into the sky and glorifying his ancestors.
In the main courtyard.
Xue Su called the Li family and Lian Sheng, and said with a serious face, "The people who live in Ningshui Pavilion, don't you pay attention to it, remember?" โ
Liansheng has been by her aunt's side since she was a child, and she is extremely clear about the evil things that the Xue family has done, and she nods solemnly at this moment, "Don't worry, my niece knows it in her heart, and she will never embarrass you." โ
Li is Xiao Ning'an's nurse, she is honest and responsible, and she has never made any mistakes in taking care of her children, and now she can remember it as long as she says the last sentence.
After the Li family went down, Xue Su took the little girl's hand, pressed the person directly on the Eight Immortals chair, and said in a low voice, "My younger brother is thirteen this year, and his mother is a bad heart, you are about to discuss marriage, you must stay away, otherwise you will ......"
Although she didn't finish speaking, Lian Sheng understood what her aunt meant, she had suffered in reputation in the past, so naturally she would not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Seeing that the little girl really went to her heart, Xue Su slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, thinking about how to send the Xue family out, otherwise they would stay in the Hou Mansion all the time, and the trouble would definitely not be a little bit.
In a blink of an eye, it was dinner time, Xue Su and Chu Qinghe were eating, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Father Xue and the others.
"Qinghe, I have something to tell you for my father."
Chu Qinghe put down his chopsticks, with a little impatience in his eyes, like a male lion who had invaded his territory, and his whole body exuded a sense of depression.
"Brother Cheng is Su Niang's younger brother, very smart, and pure, if you can send him to Guozijian, our Xue family will have a champion in the future, and your face will also shine"
Before he finished speaking, he was hurriedly interrupted by Xue Su.
"Dad, Brother Cheng is just an ordinary person, he can't enter the country's prison, after all, he is not from a high background, once he offends those young masters, he will be bullied, Master Hou can't deal with juniors, and I can't come out, are you really willing to let Brother Cheng suffer like this?"
Xue Su also knows a little bit about Xue's father, knowing that he regards his only son as his heart and soul, and he is reluctant to let him suffer the slightest grievance.
Sure enough, when they heard this, Father Xue and Zhao Xianglan showed hesitation and did not speak.
Xue Cheng didn't care about it, sat on the stool, took a chicken leg casually, and gnawed it in a big gulp.
"I don't go to any Guozijian, just read at home, it's not difficult to take the exam anyway, why bother so much?"
Seeing that he was so ashamed, Xue Su couldn't help but sneer.
Although she was very ashamed of Wang Youqing, she also knew that person had real talent and learning, otherwise she would not be able to win the three yuan, and she would not become Princess Jinyue's concubine. At present, Xue Cheng is neither as smart as Wang Youqing, nor as hard as him, and wanting to win the top prize is tantamount to a fool's dream.
