Chapter 2 Marriage
Xiuniang raised her head and glanced at her. This heart is full of dryness, but it can't be released in the cavity.
I silently read in my heart: "For the sake of Mama, forget it, endure it." ”
I got up and fetched a bucket of water, and was about to clean my hands.
The Caique was already impatient, and said, "Oh, my fifth miss, why are you so rubbing?" It's really a young lady's life. Come with me. Madame is in a hurry, I can't say, can't you see your grandmother's illness? ”
Hearing this, Xiuniang was full of irritability, and her heart was also cool. Stretched out his hand and stirred two handfuls in the clear water, wiped his face, and walked away with the high-spirited Caique.
When she arrived at the eldest lady's room, Caique turned sideways and let Xiuniang walk in front, but she kicked Xiuniang in the crook of her knee. Xiuniang's legs were weak, and she knelt down.
Cai Que smiled and said, "Madam, the fifth lady knows more about etiquette now, so she automatically knelt down." ”
Before the eldest lady could respond, the voice next to her smiled and said: "Yo, this is really a filial child, but it's a pity that filial piety goes to someone else's house." The fifth sister is so well-behaved, so she doesn't have to suffer so much. ”
Xiuniang endured her anger, bowed her head and said, "What the third sister said is true." Please be gracious to my wife and ask the doctor to come and see it as soon as possible. ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she didn't speak, but slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip. I closed the lid, but I didn't put it back, just looked at her with a smile.
Xiuniang saw this, and knew her intentions. I couldn't help but endure it again, and stepped forward to take the teacup in my hand.
The eldest lady suddenly let go, and a whole bowl of hot tea was all buckled on her. Xiuniang was caught off guard, and the tea burned her skin red through the thin summer clothes.
Hold on, hold on, for the sake of Mama. She gritted her teeth and silently lowered her body to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
The third sister, who had just spoken out, came over with a smile and said, "Fifth sister, I'll clean up with you." ”
After speaking, the girl with a smile like a flower stepped on Xiuniang's hand that was cleaning up the porcelain pieces. Xiuniang was caught off guard, and her hand was cut and bleeding from broken porcelain.
The eldest lady smiled: "Xiuyuan, why are you so careless? Carefully stepped on the porcelain tiles and hurt your feet. ”
The third young lady Xiuyuan smiled: "Mrs. Xie cares. It's okay. ”
Xiuniang bit her lip, these farces are usually staged like this. There are more than that. She's used to it.
The eldest lady smiled: "The fifth girl really knows the courtesy. If this is the case, why make everyone unhappy? ”
Xiuyuan smiled: "Exactly." You don't know that your wife cares about you. also puts on a stinky face all day long. Alas, the dog bites Lu Dongbin. ”
The eldest lady smiled: "A good heart has become a donkey's lung, this thing has existed since ancient times, and it is not worth anything." However, since you are the daughter of my Shen family, my mother-in-law also has to plan for your future. Now there is a great fortune that has fallen on the girl, which is gratifying. ”
Xiuniang's heart jumped, and she immediately raised her head to look at her.
Xiuyuan said in disgust: "This little hoof is really cheap." I don't care about anything else, as soon as I hear 'great wealth', I will be happy! With a tuberculosis ghost is such a gaffe. What is it that is not cheap? ”
Match? Tuberculosis ghosts? Xiuniang raised her head in surprise and asked, "What did the third sister say?" What tuberculosis ghost? ”
The eldest lady said indifferently: "Congratulations to the fifth girl, our family came to the Du Mansion in the capital to ask for marriage." Coincidentally, I took a fancy to you. After today, you will be a member of Dufu. ”
It seems that there was a sudden thunder, which shocked Xiuniang and couldn't come back to her senses. After settling his mind, he said loudly: "I don't want to be matched!" ”
The eldest lady was taken aback and asked, "Why aren't you worthy?" ”
Xiuniang gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to be matched!" Suddenly, he got up and turned and ran.
This surprise happened, and the eldest lady was the first to come back to her senses and shouted: "Stop her and bring her back!" ”
Xiuniang ran out in a hurry. The children are fast, and those servants can catch up. Just as he was about to turn out of the courtyard door in three steps and five steps, he stepped on the stone steps by the door and fell to the ground with a belch.
This fall was not light, his head hit the threshold, and the blood on his left forehead suddenly came out, blurring his eyes. The servants rushed up, grabbed it, and carried it back to the eldest lady's room.
The eldest lady stood under the eaves and said indifferently: "This is a happy event, a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, what are the five girls running?" The family is doing rough and heavy work, can it be comfortable to go to the capital to be a young grandmother? ”
Xiuniang raised her head and was covered with blood on half of her face, and said stubbornly: "But I don't want such a blessing, can't I?" ”
