Chapter 126: The First Snow That Saves People
In the Tianen Water Pavilion, since Nangong Yue left, the atmosphere at the next table has become more lively.
When Su Nianyun led Su Jiaojiao and the others away, he deliberately glanced at the table next door.
At a glance, she saw a familiar figure in it.
Chu Xue, the eldest daughter of Chu Wenyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works.
Although she is a concubine, because of the early death of her mother, her father soon married her stepfamily.
Pang Zi married Chu Wenyuan and soon gave birth to two daughters and a son.
With these three children, Pang Zi's heart is naturally in his own children, so although Chu Xue has grown to eighteen years old, she has not worried about Chu Xue's marriage.
This is also the reason why the old lady later found her first home, and the marriage between the two families was properly discussed.
Pang didn't abuse this daughter, of course, she didn't have any feelings, she didn't want to spend time on Chu Xue.
Seeing Chu Xue sitting among these women with prominent family backgrounds, Su Nianyun was still a little surprised.
Because just now, she didn't hear the voice of Chu Xue, which means that she has been silent during this banquet.
In other words, the first snow was forced to come, and she did not appear on such an occasion voluntarily.
As Su Nianyun went out thoughtfully, when several women pushed the cups and changed the lamps, they began to lead the conversation to Chu Xue.
"Speaking of the first snow, you also received an invitation to the flower viewing banquet that day, why don't you go?"
Chu Xue's face was embarrassed, "I'...... I didn't receive an invitation ......"
"Hey, why didn't you receive the invitation, it was an invitation written by Princess Qingyang herself, and there are women from families in Beijing who are of the right age to marry, and they should all receive that invitation."
"Oh, you don't know, Chu Xue's stepmother, how could she hope that she would have a good life, naturally she would not be allowed to appear on an occasion like a flower viewing banquet." Sun Ruyu explained for Chu Xue.
Sun Ruyu is the daughter of a general, and she has always been straightforward.
"Actually, I don't blame my mother, it's true that I don't deserve to go to the flower banquet."
It doesn't matter if you can spend more time with your father and get married later.
"You have a good mentality, but I'm afraid that your stepmother doesn't think so, she just doesn't want you to marry better than her daughter."
"Yes, you see, if the invitation is given to her daughter for the first rain, she will definitely put her daughter's dress up and enter the palace."
If the family background and status are not enough to choose the crown princess, the side concubine can still do it.
Sun Ruyu said, "Your marriage, you have to prepare early, if you don't prepare early, I'm afraid you won't have time to regret it in ......the future."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Xue suddenly got up.
"Well, it's not early, I'll go first......"
Surrounded by a group of young ladies of the family criticizing her stepmother, Hatsuyuki was uncomfortable to hear.
The stepmother is indeed unfamiliar with herself, but she can't talk about good or bad, so it is not appropriate to listen to outsiders discuss the relationship between their stepmother and stepdaughter.
When it gets out, it's not good.
Seeing the first snow walking out, Sun Ruyu also got up.
"You guys really, why do you want to bring up this topic, you know that even if she debunks the facts, she can't do anything?"
"Well," said one woman, "we are also kind, and besides, it was what you said that made her unable to sit still, right?" ”
"The beginning of the snow came with me, she left like this, and I am leaving too?"
"Ruyu," the other woman took her hand, "she used to borrow your light, and we didn't say anything." ”
"But today, she knew that we were deliberately embarrassing Nangong Yue and being angry for you, so she helped Nangong Yue speak beforehand."
"It's okay for her to talk for that guy, now that she's annoyed when she speaks, she will give you a look on your face......"
"Ruyu, shouldn't you think about it, should you be friends with Chu Xue like this?"
Sun Ruyu was stunned.
"That's it, that's it!"
Another said, "You are kind to Chuxue everywhere, pity her, but people treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
"She threw her face at you and left, and you still want to go to the carriage for others?"
When Sun Ruyu heard these people say this, she stood up and hesitated, and finally sat down.
"You're right, that girl doesn't know what to do, I feel sorry for her being treated like that at home, but she doesn't know my kindness!"
Sun Ruyu said angrily, "I won't be with her today, let her go back by herself." ”
"That's right, the daughter of your dignified general's family should be like this."
Seeing Chu Xue go out, the personal girl Mo Xiang hurriedly chased after her.
"Miss, aren't we waiting for Miss Sun?"
Chu Xue looked back, but Sun Ruyu did not follow.
She shook her head, "Forget it, I couldn't stand that occasion just now, I said something I shouldn't have said, I hope she won't be angry." ”
"Miss," Mo Xiang said, "then you wait here, and the slave will go and rent a carriage." ”
They came by the same ride with Miss Sun, and now that Miss Sun is not leaving, they will have no carriage.
"Forget about renting a carriage," Chu Xue shook her head, "It's just a dozen streets, let's go back." ”
"Miss, our house is a little far away from the Tian'en Water Pavilion, I'm afraid it will be the second half of the night to walk back like this."
Mo Xiang said, "Slaves and maids are used to doing rough work, and they can't be tired of walking these roads, but your daughter's body will be tired." ”
"It doesn't matter," said Chu Xuedao, "even if I'm tired, it won't affect anything, it's a big deal, let's go back and lie down for three days and three nights!" ”
Dad doesn't hurt and stepmother doesn't love, I'm afraid that if she lies in the room for a few months, no one will care.
It costs money to rent a carriage.
She has a limited amount of money every month, so saving this money to buy a new book or pen and ink is a good choice.
Mo Xiang opened his mouth, and then his expression was gloomy.
In terms of identity, although there is not much difference between the young lady and the young ladies inside, in terms of food and clothing, she is the same as those young ladies.
When other ladies go out, they sit in a sedan chair nearby, and there is a carriage in the distance.
The dignified lady of Dudulang Zhongfu turned out to have nothing.
Look at Mrs.'s biological daughter Chu Yu, that is what she wants, but she is only thirteen years old, and the maids and servants are hugging each other, and they are the best cars and horses when they go out.
"Okay then, Miss," seeing that Miss was very insistent, Mo Xiang said distressed and helpless, "Let's just go back." ”
No, the master and servant didn't take a few steps before a carriage came to them.
"Miss Chu, let's go the same way, why don't I give you a ride?"
When Chu Xue looked up, she saw a face as white as jade and smiling eyes.
Chu Xue was surprised, "You are ......"
She didn't know such a woman, how did the other party know about herself?
"Miss Chu, it's me, Su Nianyun." Su Nianyun grinned.
Su Nianyun ...... Princess Nianyun? Hatsuyuki was surprised.
"Shh," Su Nianyun said, "I also came here quietly, no one knows my identity, you get in the car quickly!" ”
Chu Xue hesitated for a moment, and finally got into the carriage in Su Nianyun's expectant eyes.
"Princess Nianyun, what a coincidence, I was able to meet you here."
Chu Xue looked at Su Nianyun in surprise, only to feel that this person was completely different from the person in her memory.
Three years ago, she was dark, thin, and bullied.
When we saw each other three years later, the princess was pretty, fair-skinned, and generous, and then she looked down and noticed her slightly convex waist.
"Princess Nianyun, I haven't congratulated you yet."
Su Nianyun stroked her stomach and said gratefully, "Three years ago, Miss Chu helped me in the palace, and I never had a chance to thank you. ”
Three years ago?
Hatsuyuki's thoughts suddenly returned to that time.
Three years ago, the harem.
This is the first time that Chu Xue has participated in the palace banquet, and it is also the last.
At that time, she walked out of the banquet to breathe, and met Princess Qingyang leading several princesses and the daughter of the family to push Princess Nianyun into the water.
Princess Qingyang is gone, and Princess Yun is struggling desperately in the water.
Chu Xue jumped into the water to save people without thinking about it.
