Chapter 687: Alive

Real people are very unusual compliments.

Chen Changsheng was quiet for a while and asked, "There is another one?"

Previously, Mrs. Xue said that he was one of the two real people that Xue Xingchuan thought.

Mrs. Xue did not answer this question directly, but changed her way: "You are worthy of being the son of the Holy Queen Mother." ”

Chen Changsheng understood and said, "Unfortunately, I am not her son. ”

Mrs. Xue said, "I'm glad to hear you say sorry. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Yes, I don't think it's a shame to have such a mother, although she is not a good person, but she is a great person. ”

Mrs. Xue said with emotion: "Yes, otherwise, how would they be willing to follow Niangniang until death." ”

Chen Changsheng suddenly asked, "Do you hate?"

If you want to talk about hate, Mrs. Xue has too many reasons for hate, and if you want to say regret, there are reasons to regret.

Those hatreds and regrets are not all for the new dynasty, for the head of the criminal department, for Xu Shiji, there should also be for the past years.

Mrs. Xue was very calm and said, "No, I only hate Zhou Tong for not dying." ”

Chen Changsheng looked at her eyes quietly, without speaking, without comfort.

Mrs. Xue was extremely intelligent, understood, was a little surprised, and was very moved, and wanted to persuade something, but she couldn't open her mouth, because she didn't know what to say.

Chen Changsheng didn't say anything, how could she persuade him?

The two said goodbye, and in front of the National Education College, Chen Changsheng said to Mrs. Xue: "Please don't leave." ”

According to the news sent by the Cardinal's Office, the Xue Mansion has been emptied, and there are several boxes of prepared luggage at the back door, and it seems that Mrs. Xue may return to her hometown in the near future.

Chen Changsheng asked her not to leave.

Madame Xue understood what he meant, because he understood what she meant.

She was silent for a long time, smiled a little hard, and said, "Okay, I'll see it with my own eyes." ”

Chen Changsheng said: "You will see. ”

……

……

After the house, all the servants in the Xue Mansion were scattered, whether it was the long room or the second room, as long as the people who were not implicated for the time being, they had all been sent back to their hometowns, and now in the house, only Mrs. Xue was left, and there was a servant woman and the old housekeeper, who seemed to be extremely lonely, if according to Mrs. Xue's meaning, the servant woman and the housekeeper should also leave, but there was no way to convince them.

The servant woman said, "Since we are going to make a sacrifice, no matter how simple it is, we have to buy something, and we can always share some for our wife." ”

Mrs. Xue shook her head and said, "Everyone has already been buried, what sacrifices are there to set up." ”

The butler said: "Since the court did not speak, it is a tacit acquiescence, presumably in the next few days, there will always be some adults or old colleagues who come to pay respects, and we must always greet them." ”

He said it according to the old thoughts, but it caused Mrs. Xue to be sad, and said indifferently: "Do you think anyone dares to come?"

The housekeeper thought to himself that the old man was a hero, and he traveled extensively in Beijing, and as long as the imperial court did not invent a will, someone would always come.

Mrs. Xue said, "Since we want to set up a sacrifice, where can we find the money?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and said: "The sacrificial field purchased in the suburbs of Beijing can't be taken off for the time being, and the shop on Xizhi Street ......."

Where can the Xue Mansion still get the silver taels, if you want to put out a decent sacrifice hall, you can only sell the properties of the clan that have not been confiscated, and you must be the best ones to sell.

Nishinao Street is the busiest place in Kyoto, and the shops on the street are so much that no one is willing to sell them.

The housekeeper looked at Mrs. Xue's hesitant expression, thinking that she was reluctant, and persuaded her: "After returning to my hometown, no one will look at the shop, and sooner or later I won't be able to keep it, since I won't come back, why keep it." ”

Mrs. Xue was silent for a while, and said, "Don't sell the shop." ”

The butler was a little surprised, and continued to persuade: "Madam, please ......"

Mrs. Xue shook her head and said, "I know what you're worried about, but I've changed my mind and won't leave Beijing." ”

Hearing this, the butler was even more surprised, but before he could say anything, he heard the lady continue: "In a few days, you go back to your hometown and bring Brother Jin back." ”

Brother Jin's full name is Xue Yejin, and he is the only son of Xue He. The housekeeper already knew the news that the second master Xue He was on his way back to Beijing, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death. Brother Jin is the current only seedling of Xue Mansion, after confirming the will of the imperial court the day before yesterday, he was sent back to his hometown by his wife overnight, why did his wife decide to let him go back to Kyoto now, you know, this is a great risk, who knows if the new big people in the court will change their minds.

He said in a trembling voice: "Even if Brother Jin comes back, how can he look at those shops." ”

"Brother Jin is the only bloodline of my Xue family, how can I spend time on these chores. Mrs. Xue looked at him and said seriously: "He went back to Beijing to study." ”

The housekeeper secretly complained, thinking to himself that there is a college in Kyoto now that dares to accept the children of the Xue family? Not to mention the Qingteng Sixth Academy, even if it is the most ordinary school, I am afraid that it will turn away Brother Jin.

Mrs. Xue didn't tell her follow-up arrangements, and said to the housekeeper: "You go and be busy with the sacrifice first, as for the money, use these first, it's not enough." ”

As she spoke, she took a red gold hairpin from her bun and handed it over.

The housekeeper had no choice but to accept the order and go out with the red gold hairpin.

The servant woman brought a bowl of tea and said, "Moisten your throat first." ”

Mrs. Xue took a sip of the tea bowl, looked at her pale face reflected in the tea soup, and suddenly showed a smile.

Unlike the previous days, her smile today was still tired, but it was finally a little brighter.

Then she felt that the tea was a little sweet.

If there is blood in the throat, it should be sweet.

This is what Xue Xingchuan talked to her.

At that time, they had just gotten married, and on the second day of her presiding over the feed, she found that there were many problems in the family's accounts, and a lot of money was flowing wrong.

It just so happened that there were a lot of rumors in the house at that time.

She was a little sad and didn't drink soup at dinner.

Xue Xingchuan couldn't, so he told her the truth, and she realized that her husband was raised, and he also had a brother, and that person was named Zhou Tong.

In order to comfort her, Xue Xingchuan told her a lot of gossip and interesting things, as well as things on the battlefield, for example, if there is blood in the throat, it will be sweet.

If the golden hairpin pierced the throat, it should also be sweet.

Mrs. Xue thought.

From the beginning, she was not ready to leave Kyoto.

After she was ready to collect the funeral for Xue Xingchuan, she committed suicide and went with him.

Until yesterday, things changed.

She wasn't ready to die.

She is ready to continue to live in Kyoto, because she wants to see Zhou Tong die.

She also wants to raise the Xue family's only seedling in Kyoto, because she wants him to go to school at the National Education College.

Crying was heard outside the courtroom.

The servant woman led in with a noblewoman with red and swollen eyes.

The noble lady entered the room, threw herself directly into Mrs. Xue's arms, and cried out, "Mother, how can we still live?"

Mrs. Xue looked at her eldest daughter who was married to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and said calmly, "You have been divorced?"

The noble lady was taken aback, and then said angrily: "I'm not wrong, where does the Wei family dare to divorce me!"

Mrs. Xue said, "Since you haven't been suspended, why are you crying?"

The lady's eyes turned red again, and she said, "They are not good to me. ”

Mrs. Xue said: "If your husband's family refuses to let you, come back." ”

The lady was a little embarrassed and said, "The faces of my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not good-looking these days, and he ...... It's kind of kind. ”

Mrs. Xue said calmly: "Are you harmonious? If he continues to be harmonious, he will be reconciled with him." ”

The lady hesitated a little and said, "What about the child?" Besides, he is good to me, and after the matter settles down in the future, my brother's future will ......."

Mrs. Xue said: "Brother Jin will join the army in the future, enter the court, run a shop, or remarry, where can you not find a way to live?"

The noble lady thought for a while, nodded vigorously, and said, "Mother's words make sense, so I'll tell him what I said." ”
