Chapter 9 The Woman in Tsing Yi
Zhang Xiting's eyes widened, and the starlight in the sky seemed to fall into the dark pupils, dazzling: "Miss Su, I said, you, don't be unhappy!"
Su Nian smiled slightly awkwardly: "Say it, no matter how unhappy you are, it's nothing more than that." ”
Zhang Xiting deliberately lowered his tone, and his face was as bitter as Huanglian water: "Just now I heard the wizard and my father say in the hall, saying, saying that you are a disaster star descending into the world, and you can't touch it, otherwise, it will bring disaster to our Zhang family." ”
Su Nian's heart choked, and he glanced at Zhang Xiting, in the past, it was for Mrs. Su to be happy, and she became the adopted daughter of the Su family, but now that she has entered Zhang's mansion, she has become a disaster star, it is really unfair, and creation makes people!
"I see, I still feel inexplicable what they said...... Still, thank you for coming and telling me these things. ”
Zhang Xiting put down the teacup, Su Nian didn't know if it was an illusion, he only felt that Zhang Xiting's eyes were full of pity when he looked at him.
Zhang Xiting leaned on the table with his hands and elbows, and his eyes naturally revealed a kind of gentleness, like a touch of warm sun on a long snow iceberg, dear, cut, gentle, and soft.
The two were silent for a long time, and then they said softly: "Miss Su, you, are you okay?" Alas, I know that you must be uncomfortable in your heart, and your father is really, so what wizard must have said this to cheat him out of his money, and he really believed it. ”
Su Nian didn't seem to be surprised or resentful, he only looked like he had nothing to do with him, and even asked Zhang Xiting jokingly: "What about you, Second Young Master, do you believe it?"
Zhang Xiting didn't expect Su Nian to ask himself like this, he was stunned, and said: "I? I don't believe it, isn't this nonsense? It's just, it's just that I pity you." ”
Seeing that the second young master of the Zhang family doesn't care about himself like he is pretending, he really thinks about it.
Su Nian stood up, stroked the placket of his clothes, and had an incomprehensible smile on his face, as if relieved: "No! ”
"Huh?" Zhang Xiting sounded more and more strange.
Su Nian smiled and pinched his long hair: "Second Young Master, do you know that I am not my father's biological son?"
Zhang Xiting didn't know what Su Nian meant, so he just nodded tentatively and said, "Know." ”
"You see, everyone knows that I am the adopted daughter of the Su family, but I don't know it. My whole life can be described as absurd: soon after I was born, I entered the Su family as a daughter because of the words of the witch doctor, and since then I have lost the love and protection of my parents and relatives; now, because of the words of the wizard, I will have to stay alone in the empty room on the wedding night, and there will be no more pity from my husband. I am destined to live a life of loneliness and suffering. ”
Since he has already seen it, naturally there is no too much sorrow at all. Now, if you can really spend the rest of your life in this mansion safely, it can be regarded as fulfilling your heart.
Zhang Xiting staggered to his feet in a daze, looking at Su Nian with a confused look in his eyes.
Su Nian teased: "What's the matter, my tea also made the second young master drunk?" ”
Zhang Xiting pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice that only he could hear: "It's not tea, it's ......."
Just as Zhang Yunyu expected, as soon as he said goodbye last night, Zhang Xiting was no longer able to help himself, and all that came to his mind was Su Nian's figure! Although he knew that this matter was absurd, who could control his heart?
Su Nian didn't know if he really didn't hear clearly or deliberately, and asked in confusion: "Second Young Master, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Xiting shook his head again and again: "No, it's nothing." I have to go, if there is anything in the future, you can come to me directly! Don't worry, I will come to you when I am free, and you will not be alone. ”
Zhang Xiting may have been so flustered that he almost tripped over the threshold when he even went out.
Su Nian smiled bitterly, it was rare that there were still people in this cold Zhang Mansion who would care about him.
......
On the second day, according to the customs, Su Nian needed to go to Zhang Yuanluo's main room and the residence of other concubines to visit An.
Su Nian went out early, but after visiting all the way, no one was willing to meet Su Nian, either politely saying that he was unwell or directly sneering, afraid that Su Nian's catastrophic body would affect him.
Only the last four ladies!
......
As soon as Su Nian entered the house, he saw a young woman sitting in front of the stone table, wearing a light cyan flowing cloud dress, looking delicate and beautiful, like a fairy in a painting, and there was a maid of the same age standing beside her.
When the woman in Tsing Yi saw Su Nian coming, she immediately got up with a smile, and before Su Nian could speak, she greeted her enthusiastically: "I expected that my sister would come to my house today, so I waited here early!"
Looking at the woman in front of her so gentle and enthusiastic, it was not at all like the previous three, but it made Su Nian a little unaccustomed.
Su Nian hurriedly bowed: "My sister has said hello to my sister!"
The woman in Tsing Yi helped Su Nian up, took Su Nian's hand affectionately, and said softly: "Why does my sister have to see the outside like this? Come into the house quickly, my sister has already prepared breakfast in the kitchen, and my sister will accompany my sister to eat together?"
Su Nianmu nodded, but he felt a little unreal, but looking at the kind woman in front of him, he naturally responded shyly: "Well, thank you, sister."
During the meal, Su Nian learned that the four ladies were named Chi Ning, who was one year older than herself, and she had only been married into this Zhang Mansion for a few months, but she was deeply loved by Zhang Yuanluo.
Chi Ning's personality is introverted and soft, and he rarely has contact with others on weekdays, and the reason why he can be good friends with himself is because of his similar background.
Chi Ning is not the biological son of today's parents, but the family is poor, and marrying into Zhangfu is also because his adoptive father owes Zhangfu a debt and is unable to repay, so he can only use Chi Ning to pay off the debt!
Chi Ning heard earlier that Su Nian's reason for entering the mansion was so similar to herself, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for this sister.
After breakfast, Chi Ning held Su Nian's hand and admonished: "My sister has entered Zhang's Mansion now, so I have to be cautious in the future, my sister came all the way today, and I was able to arrive at my sister's house early, presumably the other ladies have turned my sister away, right?"
Su Nian lowered his head, even the servants in the house didn't want to serve him, let alone the other ladies: "Sister knows!"
Chi Ning's heart was sour, but his face didn't show too much: "Those ladies in our house are pampered on weekdays, and it is difficult to see anything, if my sister meets them in the future, I can avoid it, especially the eldest lady and the second lady, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, my sister told you this today, if you listen, you will be able to suffer less losses in the future, and you will be able to live a good life in this mansion!"
Su Niancheng nodded seriously: "My sister knows, in this deserted Zhang Mansion, my sister is really lucky to know a sister who thinks about her sister in such a shoes!"
Looking at Chi Ning, Su Nian was also inexplicably distressed, I don't know how much suffering she has suffered at such a young age?
"Sister, aren't you afraid that I'm a disaster star?" Su Nian's voice became smaller and smaller like a floater.
Chi Ning was stunned, his face was gloomy, and he deliberately said angrily: "Tell me about you, others don't have knowledge, it's just nonsense, how can you say such things yourself? Okay, this kind of unfounded and unfounded false words, my sister never believes it!"
Hearing Chi Ning's words, Su Nian was completely relieved, and said peacefully: "Thank you, sister!"
......
Leaning alone on the wooden railing of the promenade, a light rain was falling in the sky.
Today is the sixth day of marrying into Zhang's mansion, but since the wedding day, I haven't seen Master Zhang again.
In addition to the food brought by the people every day, Zhang Xiting would come to visit quietly every two days, and no one else would contact him.
As soon as the disaster star said it, everyone avoided her, and some people even said that the decline of the Su family was also because of her.
Su Nian is only seventeen years old, she can not take it seriously, but after listening to it too much, it is difficult not to think about these gossips, and sometimes, she even wonders if she is really a disaster star.
I thought so much that I didn't notice the people around me.
"Yo yo, who is this, what is the hair?" A delicately dressed woman walked to Su Nian's side with a smile and a smile under the support of a young maidservant, holding a peony embroidered pu fan in her hand, shaking it for a while.
The woman was dressed in red silk and satin, and she was adorned with hairpin rings, and she felt heavy when she looked at it, but this speech made people feel light.
Su Nian looked at the dress of the woman in front of her, and there was a chance that she was the lady of Zhang's mansion. Although reluctantly, he still obediently leaned down and saluted: "I've seen my sister." ”
The woman pouted, the corners of her lips hooked an extremely disdainful smile, and the hand shaking the fan naturally stopped: "You call me sister? So, you are the new disaster star of the master?"
Su Nian was not annoyed, straightened up without hurrying, looked at the woman, and had a false smile on her face: "It's my sister! My sister went to see my sister earlier, but my sister kept saying that she was not in good health and refused to see her sister." My sister has always been worried about whether my sister will be infected with some serious disease, but now it seems that my sister is too worried!"
Hearing Su Nian's ridicule like this, the woman's face instantly turned gloomy, and the frequency of her fingertips trembling became faster and faster: "What are you?
After that, he raised his hand mercilessly and slapped Su Nian's face with a resounding slap......
Before Su Nian could react, he stumbled, and his abdomen hit the wooden fence on the side, only to feel a hot pain on his body and face.
Su Nian grabbed the wooden fence and forcibly calmed down, his clear expression contained infinite depression and forbearance, covering his beaten cheek with one hand, and the crystal tears between his eyes swirled slowly, full of almost overflowing, but he was still forcibly held back.
Su Nian raised his head and glared at the woman in front of him viciously, his face was hideous, his eyes were clear, and in the blink of an eye, winter suddenly came, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, and it was terrifyingly cold.
The woman Xu was also frightened by Su Nian's eyes, and froze in place, not daring to say more.
