Chapter XXIX. Aunt Ann
Xue Fu refused to come to Xue Rong's side, Xue Rong was happy to be pure, and came out of Xue Yun this day, thinking that he hadn't seen Aunt An for a long time, so he took Banxia and went to Aunt An's side.
Aunt An was bought by Mrs. Wang as a concubine for Xue Zhiting from outside after Aunt Zhou gave birth to Xue Fu, in order to distract Xue Zhiting's favor for Aunt Zhou, and to add to Aunt Zhou's blockage.
is different from Aunt Zhou's usual enchanting appearance, Aunt An has delicate facial features and is not at all public. is only twenty-five or sixteen years old now, but because of Mrs. Wang's deliberate arrangement, she has become the titular mother of her thirteen-year-old Xue family.
In their previous lives, although the two had the name of mother and daughter, Aunt An often went to see her, and she occasionally walked around Aunt An's side, but Xue Rong's feelings for Aunt An were not deep. Aunt An on weekdays is just a quiet woman who is not good at words, and she is occasionally ridiculed by Aunt Zhou, but she just laughs it off and never argues with anyone.
It's Xue Rong, because she thinks that no matter what she says, she can be regarded as Aunt An's side, as long as Aunt Zhou ridicules Aunt An once, she will quarrel with Aunt Zhou once, not so much for Aunt An, but because she herself can't get used to Aunt Zhou's arrogance. It is precisely because of this that some people have the opportunity to make the contradiction between her and Aunt Zhou deeper and deeper.
Aunt An's courtyard is on the northwest side of the inner house, far away from Aunt Zhou's side, but not too far from Mrs. Wang's side. Xue Rong walked slowly with Banxia and soon arrived.
There were not many little girls in Aunt An's yard, only two or three, and there were originally two big girls, one of whom was old and was released last year, and now there is only one big girl named Yicui left, just like Aunt An, others scolded her head, and she didn't bother to defend and fight back.
Seeing Xue Rong coming, Aunt An was naturally happy, and first ordered someone to move a small stool over for Banxia to sit on, and then ordered Yi Cui to serve tea, Yi Cui also poured a cup for Banxia, and Banxia quickly got up and took it.
"Sister Yicui, sit down too!" Xue Rong said as he looked at the furnishings in Aunt An's house.
Aunt An's room is very open, unlike Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhou's side with high tables and low tables, and there is no screen to separate them, just such a large room, only there is a couch here, and a simple square table is placed on the couch.
Xue Rong had heard Aunt An say that she didn't like to be too aggrieved in the house, but at that time, she couldn't fully understand the meaning of Aunt An's words. I just thought that Aunt An was too depressed in this house, so she liked the spacious house.
Now that I think about it, Aunt An didn't mean that at all.
Aunt An has always been quiet, she doesn't argue with anyone, and compared with Aunt Zhou, who likes to make trouble when she has nothing to do, she is indeed an unobtrusive existence, even Mrs. Wang doesn't pay much attention to this, and she doesn't have any precautions against Aunt An.
If Aunt An has attracted the attention of Mrs. Wang or Xue Zhiting, it has only been a few times. One of the times was that Banxia was framed for stealing Aunt Zhou's things, and Aunt An testified to Banxia. Another time, it was Xue Yun who fell into the water and died, and when everyone thought it was an accident, Aunt An questioned it. The last time, after learning that the person Xue Rong married was actually not Wang Muci but Wang Lishi, Aunt An once said that Mrs. Wang was "shameless".
In Banxia, Xue Rong was naturally grateful to Aunt An. When Xue Yun fell into the water, Xue Rong was full of joy to be married at that time, and he didn't take it to heart. And this last time, Xue Rong only "heard", because when she finally accepted the fact that her husband was Wang Lishi, when she took Wang Lishi back to the door, it was seven days later, and she did not see Aunt An.
Because, at that time, Aunt An had already left the Xue Mansion.
As for the causes and consequences of Aunt An's departure, whether she took the initiative to leave or was driven out of the house by Xue Zhiting and Mrs. Wang, or resold others, Xue Rong did not know.
Because, there will be no one in the Xue Mansion who will tell her so carefully.
"I heard that in a few days, Mrs. will take you to Jian'an Hou Mansion." Aunt An drank tea and chatted with Xue Rong for a while.
"Yes, not only did I go, but I heard that the fifth sister also went." Xia Yun spoke softly and glanced at Yi Cui.
If she remembers correctly, the girl Aunt An brought with her when she entered the mansion was the one who sent out of the mansion, this Yicui, which should have been given to Aunt An by Mrs. Wang. In her previous life, she didn't care much about these, she only knew that Yi Cui was as quiet as Aunt An, but as for this girl's temperament, she couldn't say it.
Aunt An didn't ignore Xue Rong's glance and couldn't help laughing. As he put the teacup away, he spoke softly.
"The ladies of Jian'an Hou Mansion don't have girls, so they definitely like you very much, so don't be nervous. It's just that although we don't have a set of men and women who don't kiss, we still try not to get too close to those cousins. Mrs. is kind enough to take you and the five girls out, let's not make Mrs. feel embarrassed. Aunt Zhou on the fifth girl's side will definitely instruct, and I will ask you a few words, don't dislike me for being nosy. ”
Xue Rong felt that it was the first time he had heard Aunt An say so many things in his two lives combined. Perhaps, in her previous life, Aunt An also reminded her at some special time, but she didn't pay attention.
After all, in her previous life, she thought that she and Wang Muci were in love, even if Aunt An noticed something, she would definitely say it more vaguely than today. And at that time, even if she heard it, she wouldn't take it to heart.
"The girl understands her aunt's heart, and she will definitely not dislike it." Yi Cui smiled.
Xue Rong looked at Yi Cui, and suddenly thought that he and Aunt An testified to Banxia at that time, saying that Banxia was on their side at that time, and it should be this Yi Cui. Because at that time, Aunt An was just such a girl by her side.
Xue Rong smiled at Yi Cui before going to see Aunt An.
"My aunt has a heart, it's too late for me to be happy, and there is no reason to dislike it. I thought someone would be there to remind me not to just indulge me. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Aunt An's eyes, and she immediately smiled. A few people talked for a while, and Xue Rong got up to say goodbye.
"If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can come to me more often, there are few people on my side, and sometimes it's strangely deserted." Aunt An got up to see her off, thought about it, and said again. "If the fourth girl is willing, take her to me to write and do needlework, I can't wait for a few more people to talk!"
"I thought that my aunt would be happy and quiet, and I didn't dare to disturb me more, but since my aunt said so, I will often come in the future, even the fourth sister, and I will definitely like my aunt here." Xue Rong said with a smile and glanced at Banxia again. "Banxia also loves to come here."
"There aren't so many flowers and plants in the yard here, and the house is open, I like them all." Banxia's eyes immediately bent.
Xue Rong smiled.
In the previous life, Banxia liked to come here after Aunt An spoke for her, but in this life it was just earlier.
