Chapter 44: Sell her
In the past few days in the work house, Shu Xiaoen moved a low stool to sit in her spare time, reading and reading books over and over again;
Holding a branch in one hand, he carved and practiced calligraphy on the ground.
The sun shone on a clump of bamboo leaves next to her, and the warm light sprinkled her all over, and she became lazy, stretching her waist, only to find a seven or eight-year-old boy not far away.
He was born a little strong, and was led by the hand of a nurse, and there the pestle looked at her.
Seeing her raise her head, the little boy asked in a milky voice, "What are you doing?"
"Practice calligraphy. Shu Xiaoen glanced at him with a smile and asked the ear girl who was holding him on the side, "Why haven't you seen him before?"
Ear Niang said: "The second girl didn't see it, I don't know, this is our little young master Brother Cong'er, who was taken to his grandmother's house in Spirit Beast City a few days ago to play." As soon as he came back and heard his wife talk about the second girl's return, he was clamoring to come over to see you. ”
"Yes, that's good. Shu Xiaoen smiled.
Thinking of listening to Fu and Fu Xing's bitter talks in his ears every day in Haiyao City, I couldn't help but think of the grievances and grievances between the elders caused by this little boy. Seeing that he was strong and healthy, the sympathy for him faded.
This Cong brother's full name is Gong Xuncong, and he was born to Wu Huixiao out of wedlock. At the beginning, because of this incident, Gong Xie and Fu Xing quarreled a lot, one wanted to marry a flat wife, and the other only agreed to marry into the door as a concubine! In the end, because Gong Xuncong was a male doll, Wu Huixiao had a little more care from the elders. The old lady personally went to the Wu family's house in the middle of the business, and for his only son, Gongjie, he knelt down and begged for protection!
After all, Shu Xiaoen has been with Fu Shi and Fu Xing for a long time, and subconsciously he is in their camp, and he is instinctively reluctant to get close to Gong Xuncong.
She thought to herself: In the first place in the industrial and commercial world, she could be cheeky to kneel and beg the Wu family, why couldn't she pity Fu Xing, who gave birth to two daughters, and be a peacemaker for her son and daughter-in-law?
After all, the older generation has too strong patriarchal ideology.
Shu Xiaoen remembered what he had promised that night, and thought that he had to think of a way to let Gong Xie leave Fu Xinghe first, and then find an opportunity to leave here and go to Baihua Valley to find Ya Enming first. Otherwise, it would be like being imprisoned in a prison every day, but she was very reluctant to please those people for the sake of a momentary excitement.
It wasn't the life she wanted.
Shu Xiaoen thought about it for a while, and then remembered the dream about Bai Lixiu, and a wave of melancholy surged in his heart.
Seeing Shu Xiaoen's indifferent expression and reluctance to come over to get close to Brother Cong, the nurse sneered in her heart.
This face brother Cong gave her, but she didn't know how to cherish it.
What a silly girl!
I remember that these two girls came back the first night to eat behind closed doors, and even her own sister fell out with her - now she is still stupid and doesn't know how to be flexible. The nurse shook her head secretly, if the old man wasn't willing to protect her this time, who would take care of her again?
The nurse thinks that the five-year-old female dolls in her family are much stronger than her, willing to endure hardships and willing to work, and the second girl is now just a waste without a spiritual vein - the nurse squatted down and gently persuaded: "Brother Cong, your second sister is also here." Madame is simmering your favorite fish soup over there, waiting for you to go back and drink it, so let's go back too. ”
Gong Xuncong also felt bored to stay, and saw that "Gong Xunhuan" didn't come to praise him like others, so he followed the nurse back very disappointed.
"Father. ”
Shu Xiaoen was also about to go back to the house to take a nap, when he suddenly heard Gong Xuncong's crisp and loud cry and Gong Jie's laughing voice.
The nurse's voice also came, "Master." The little master came to see his second sister, he was tired of playing at this time, I was about to take him back to Mrs. to rest, and I listened to Mrs. explained that I also simmered fresh fish soup and waited for the master to come over to drink. ”
Gong Xie waved his hand, "I have a few words to say to Xunhuan." You take Brother Cong'er back to drink fish soup and tell her that she doesn't need to keep fish soup, I have a toothache and don't want to get those fishy things. ”
The nurse answered, led Gong Xuncong and walked away.
Shu Xiaoen said politely: "Father, do you want to go into the house to drink water?"
"Yes. The worker answered, pushed the door and walked in, his eyes swept the layout of the house, the inner room was covered by curtains, and only tables and chairs were placed outside, except for an empty vase placed on the shelf, and there were no valuable ornaments to decorate the room.
Gong Xie sat on the bench, and didn't know how to mention that incident for a while, so he casually explained: "The place where the family lives is full, and the house in Cuizhuyuan is also temporarily vacated, but you are wronged to live." Seeing that she did not show any anger, he asked, "Do you want to add some ornaments to the house?" and I will let your mother arrange it. Nor will you be wronged at home. ”
Shu Xiaoen smiled: "It's good that the house is like this, and I don't have anything I want to add." "If you want to add more, it's better to add a literate girl to accompany her, but then I think that if I run away, it will not be very convenient, after all, they are all workers.
Now there is no one to call, but it is also comfortable and comfortable, and if you want to slip away, you can smash the lock of the back door of Cuizhuyuan and slip away.
Gong Xie nodded and took a few sips of the warm water that Shu Xiaoen poured for him.
"Joy is really sensible. I remember you're sixteen, right?"
"Well, sixteen years old. ”
Gong Xie smiled: "It's not small." I, a father, have already found a good family for you, and I plan to marry you in a month. You're going to learn housekeeping from your mother tomorrow, and don't stay alone all day, you know?"
Shu Xiaoen expected that Gongjie would sell her sooner or later, but she didn't expect that the time would be set for a month later, she felt a little disgusted in her heart, and felt that the loving smile on Gongjie's face was also dazzling.
"Who is it?" Shu Xiaoen said with a smile as calm as he could.
Gong Xie stared at her, saw that she looked normal, and seemed to be very happy about it, he thought that he should be scared enough by the ugly incident in Haiyao City, afraid that he would not be able to marry an old girl, so he hooked his lips and smiled knowingly.
"I, a father, will I still treat my daughter badly if I find a husband's family for my daughter?" Gong Xie paused and said, "It's the sixth prince of the Central Plains who cultivates his mouth." I see that he really wants to marry you, so I should come down. ”
As soon as Shu Xiaoen heard the name, a chill ran down his spine.
"Then I have to have my father promise me something...... Shu Xiaoen forced a smile and said mischievously, "I am willing to marry with peace of mind." ”
Shu Xiaoen added another sentence in her heart: Even if the answer is answered, she will never get married!
Never get married!
Gong Xie restrained his smile, looked at her carefully, and asked patiently, "What do you want me to promise?"
"Write a letter of resignation and put my mother Fu Xing on leave. Shu Xiaoen saw his brows stretched, so he took the opportunity to add, "If I write it now, I can honestly learn housekeeping from my mother tomorrow ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Gong Xie slapped the table and stood up, with an angry face.
"I'm not very old, but I've learned this little trick from your grandmother!" Gong Xie snorted coldly, "It's your blessing that you're willing to learn housekeeping from your mother." If you don't want to learn, you will marry directly when the time comes, and you will be the one who suffers. ”
Gongjie was very reluctant to hear others talk about Fu Xing in front of him.
At the beginning, he didn't have the face to step down, and he didn't necessarily want her Fu Xing to do well now!
"Gong Xunhuan, I don't know your little tricks yet, don't think about me asking you to do something, you have something to blackmail!" Gong Xie said impatiently.
