Chapter 2 Something without a heart or a lungs
After a while, I met my aunt Xie Qiao'er.
Xie Qiao'er is well-maintained, but as she gets older, no matter how delicate she is, she can't compare to the stunning appearance of her youth.
Since ancient times, she has served as a concubine, and Xie Qiaoer is no exception.
If it weren't for the birth of a son and a daughter for the Zhou Mansion, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the Guogong Mansion. It is also thanks to the fact that the main mother is from a big family and has an open heart.
"Xunzhu come over and let my aunt take a good look!" Xie Qiao'er saw Xie Xunzhu's face and thin figure that resembled his brother, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and even her voice choked.
In the dream, her aunt protected her many times, even if she was caught slandering and stealing jewelry and seducing the prince of Jin, her aunt still gritted her teeth and knelt in front of her husband, begging the country to spare her life.
begging to no avail, my aunt used almost all of her savings to buy off the guards and prepare for her to leave softly.
Although he finally died at the hands of Zhou Qianrong.
The cold knife slid little by little on her face, and she convulsed in pain.
She didn't want to try it a second time.
Xie Xunzhu almost threw himself into Xie Qiao'er's arms, and his voice was choked, "Auntie, Xunzhu misses you so much." ”
The two hugged and cried for a while before slowly letting go under Pearl's reminder.
"What are Xunzhu's plans in the future, how about staying with my aunt? My aunt will do her best to protect you, and when Xunzhu gets married, my aunt will prepare a generous gift for Xunzhu! Xie Qiao'er asked her maid to bring the makeup box over, and looked at Xie Xunzhu and said seriously.
Xie Qiao'er also felt sorry for this niece, she was young but had no father, and she more or less saw her own shadow from Xie Xunzhu.
Although Xie Xunzhu knew that her aunt was for her own good, she didn't want to develop in the direction of her dreams, and the fact that today was Miss Zhou's birthday almost made her creepy.
"Thank you aunt for your kindness, but Xunzhu doesn't want to stay in the Guogong Mansion longer." The girl said to her aunt with red eyes and a small voice.
Pearl had already brought the box over at this time, and in the box were the jewelry that Xie Qiao'er had saved up for many years, scattered and very exquisite.
Xie Qiao'er took Xie Xunzhu's hand and compared the color of the jade to choose suitable jewelry for the girl.
Xie Xunzhu's complexion is a kind of pale between jade and snow, and it is as delicate as milk fat, which is enviable when taken out.
She liked the jewelry, but she couldn't ask for it.
After struggling a few times, Xie Xunzhu decided to tell his aunt everything that was too real in his dream.
My aunt was silent.
Xie Xunzhu was a little nervous and apprehensive, and his mind was uncontrollable.
After a long time, she heard her aunt say: "Zi Bu is silent, what is Xunzhu going to do?" ”
Xie Xunzhu burst into tears almost instantly.
Holding my aunt's hand, I shouted sadly, "Auntie......"
She was already lonely and miserable, with no branches to rely on, and now she only has her aunt left.
"Don't cry, my aunt has a yard on Southeast Street, you go to live there. If you lack anything, tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you take care of it! Xie Qiao'er hurriedly patted the girl's back and comforted her.
"You remember, you are the niece of Aunt Zhou of the Guogong Mansion, even if others move you, you have to weigh it!"
Xie Xunzhu was very moved by the love of protecting the calf, but he also knew that he must not cause trouble to his aunt.
The aunt read that Xie Xunzhu finished lunch, and hurriedly arranged for her subordinates to go to the residence to make a good meal.
Xie Xunzhu only rested in the Guogong Mansion for one night, and was sent out through the back door by Xie Qiao'er's order pearl.
The capital is prosperous everywhere, brick by brick, all of which are scenery that cannot be found anywhere else, even if it is a person, it is three points more beautiful than usual.
Daddy is right, the capital raises people and things.
Xie Xunzhu walked in the bustling crowd and felt lost.
In the restaurant across the street, the young man by the window drank the wine.
Shen Duzhou didn't have time to stop him: "Eh, aren't you too drunk to drink?" ”
The corner of Shen Yunyuan's lips pulled out a sneer: "I saw a heartless thing!" ”
Looking out the window, the dark eyes full of water reflected the distant figure of the girl in the Luo skirt, and when the figure slowly disappeared, he retracted his eyes as if nothing happened.
Shen Duzhou's eyes were about to fall when he saw it.
Look what he found!
Uncle Xiao Huang actually peeped at a young girl!
Xie Qiao'er prepared for Xie Xunzhu the courtyard of a wealthy family in the capital, and also configured a housekeeper and a girl.
The housekeeper is over forty years old and looks very kind, a bit like the neighbor's grandfather who treats her very well.
The girl's name is Coral, and she is about the same age as her, and she will obediently call her Miss.
Xie Xunzhu's heart palpitations that were frightened by the dream finally got better after leaving the Guogong Mansion.
Now that I have a place to stay, I must be independent in the future, and I can't rely on my aunt for everything.
Take things as they come.
What she has to do is to find a way to earn money and survive first.
Now that she already knows the future development, she just needs to avoid it and save money to repay her aunt by the way.
You can also save some dowry for your sister.
After thinking about it, I decided to open a shop and plan for my aunt and my own future.
But what kind of shop are you going to open?
A little money on hand will definitely not be able to do a big business, and it will have to protect the capital.
Xie Xunzhu tilted his head, thinking that his father had left a cookbook for him, maybe he could open a restaurant!
Thinking like this, the beautiful eyes couldn't help but bend, the shallow light reflected in the eyes, the pupils looked clean and clear, and the person was refreshed.
As the saying goes, the people live on food.
It's right to open a restaurant, you can still eat what you make if you can't sell it, and you can change it to open another store if you can't open a restaurant!
She was going to write a letter to her aunt, to show her thoughts, and to ask her if she could lend her a sum of money first.
Xie Qiao'er had just finished lunch when she received the letter.
At this time, it is about to enter the summer, and the sound of knowing is gradually rising, with a little bit of dryness and heat, which makes people's hearts float.
Pearl sent some ice from the steward and put it indoors, so that he could dispel the restlessness a little.
"I just met the second lady after receiving the ice, and she asked me why I didn't see Xunzhu walking around the house." Pearl put the ice basin away, went to the back room and took it as a fan for Xie Qiao'er, and said to Xie Qiao'er after remembering something.
Xie Qiaoer was also a beauty when she was young, her skin was like cream, her face was like a peach blossom, and she was full of styles just by looking back on the long street of Beijing, otherwise she would not have fascinated the prince of the year.
But it is absolutely not enough to see the past in terms of skin and flesh, and whoever can enter the Guogong Mansion will not be able to survive without some real means.
is different from his own person in front of others, and there is only one person in the house who can be directly called the second lady.
Xie Qiao'er couldn't help but think of the dream Xie Xunzhu said to herself, the dream was true or false, you can't believe it all, but you can't believe it, Xie Qiao'er couldn't help but keep an eye on it.
What does Zhou Qianrong care about Xunzhu for?
"How do you answer?" Xie Qiao'er raised her eyebrows and asked Pearl quietly.
