Chapter Ninety-Nine: Speechless
Murong Zhongyong was sipping black tea while thinking about his thoughts under the light.
"Originally, I wanted to marry Xiuxiu to Riich, but I didn't expect that Ruiqi's father and son were temporarily ordered to go west, which made me step on the ground. And I can't predict what will happen to Riich in the future, but if something happens, the result can be imagined.
Besides, Xiuxiu doesn't want to marry Riich now, and it's really hard to say if something happens in the future.
If that's the case, it seems that all my efforts to pull Yuxi away from Riich so as to give Xiuxiu a chance. ”
"Now Pang Hu comes to ask for marriage, although I want Yuxi to marry Pang Hu, but if Ruiqi has any accident, then Xiuxiu will definitely not be able to ask for it, so I am not a good person in vain, but let Yuxi think that I am biased.
You know, everyone is actually not optimistic about this marriage contract, but I am bent on fulfilling this thing. Alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and which children really understand the painstaking efforts of their parents. ”
Murong Zhongyong took a sip of the teacup, and there was a trace of bitterness in the orange tea, as if it was Murong Zhongyong's painstaking efforts. But how could Yuxi and Murong Xiu accept his thoughts. Even in their opinion, how reluctant and even unsatisfactory is their father's hard work.
Murong Zhong's melancholy is melancholy, maybe only he thinks that his hard work is worth it, but who understands Yuxi's resentment?
After dinner, Yuxi called the nurse to sit in the room, and they were going to tidy up a little before going to the town market.
Yuxi washed up in the room and cleaned up in the mirror.
The nurse came to the room after a while, and when she saw Yuxi grooming in the mirror, she whispered: "Miss Yuxi, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
Yuxi looked back and saw that it was the nurse: "Yes, I think it's still the same as before, it's no different?"
The nurse smiled slightly: "It is said that youth is infinitely good, but in fact, this is also a true saying." I don't think I was as old and ugly as I am when I was younger. ”
When Yu Xi heard this, she felt a little curious: "Nurse, what were you like when you were young?"
The nurse was stunned for a moment, and seemed to recall the events of the year, and couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy in her heart: "I was also the daughter of a regular family back then, and later married a man, but unfortunately...., alas! ”
Yuxi felt that there should be a story hidden in the nurse's words, she wanted to know what happened to the nurse back then, why she was working in the Yasukuni General's Mansion now, and she hadn't seen anyone in the nurse's family come to visit her all these years, what was hidden in the middle.
So, Yuxi turned around and pulled a chair: "Nurse, come and sit down, tell me about the past, what happened, why are you like this now?"
Seeing Yuxi's curious and concerned look, the nurse felt that the original incident had been buried in her heart for many years and had never been told about it.
Since the death of General Murong's wife, she has been even more unable to talk about it. Since Yuxi cares so much now, and misses her relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is better to talk to Yuxi about those things in the past.
The nurse sat down, and in the light, she took out a cotton silk square towel and wiped her eyes, and at this time there was a trace of tears in the corners of her eyes.
The nurse looked at Yuxi and told her previous story: "Yuxi, in fact, I am also the daughter of a well-behaved family. My hometown is on the edge of the Yellow River. Later, the family married me to a man who was in business. Who knows what ...... later"
It turned out that after the wet nurse married the man, not long after, the man made a fortune in business. After having money, the man began to boast in front of others that he had married a good wife and was a good woman with a prosperous husband, and the wet nurse was also very happy, helping the man take care of the big and small things in the family inside and out, just to let the man have no worries.
Who knows, later this man made some fox friends and dog friends, and began to care about the matter of looking for flowers and willows, and he also liked gambling money.
You must know that these things often cost a lot of money, but the nurse's man neglected to take care of the business because he was addicted to alcohol. Slowly, the family's business began to lose money, and there was not much income every month.
Now the man was in a hurry, he wanted to make some money in the casino, so he took out his savings and began to linger in the casino all day, and ended up owing a large amount of gambling debts.
But the arrears have to be repaid after all, and the money owed by the casino plus the debts owed in the business, the man lost all the family property, and finally wanted to mortgage the nurse to the creditor.
When the nurse found out, she was angry and anxious. I didn't expect this good husband in his usual eyes to be a bad gambler with such bad morals.
The wet nurse thought about it for a night, but she didn't dare to go back to her parents' house, fearing that the man and the creditor would find her mother's house, so she took her young child in her arms, took a little private money, and walked more than ten miles overnight to escape from her husband's house.
The nurse was dusty all the way, and she didn't know where to go, so she took the carriage of the passing caravan and came to the foot of Yuxu Mountain.
When I arrived at the villages and towns under Yuxu Mountain, the nurse's coiling was almost used. When she was wandering around the villages and towns, she asked along the street who wanted to hire a maid, and met Mrs. Murong who was buying rouge at the rouge shop.
When she stood in front of Mrs. Murong, dressed in rags and carrying a small baggage, she was pitifully asking Mrs. Murong if she wanted to hire a servant.
The people next to her looked at the nurse with disgusted expressions, although Mrs. Murong had a graceful and luxurious look, but her eyes showed a look of pity.
She inquired in detail about the nurse's life experience, and found that the nurse was actually born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she did not look like a woman from a bad background between her words, and she was very sympathetic to this woman in distress.
So Mrs. Murong asked her in a gentle voice: "Eldest sister, do you want to be a servant? My family is just short of a handyman, so you don't have to work too hard to come to my house!"
When the nurse heard Mrs. Murong's words, she was grateful, and finally had a place to stay. Later, the wet nurse began to work as a maid in the Murong family, and when Mrs. Murong died, she became Yuxi's wet nurse and has been taking care of the young Yuxi.
After listening to the nurse's story, Yuxi was very sympathetic to the nurse's plight, but why did the nurse's family never come to visit her?
Yuxi couldn't help but be a little curious: "Nanny, what about your mother's family?
There was a trace of sadness in the nurse's eyes: "Yuxi, I actually went home, but my home is gone." ”
It turned out that there was a flood in the Yellow River, and the wet nurse's mother's house was washed away by the flood, and the family did not know where to go. So after the nurse came back from her hometown, she never mentioned this matter again, and simply stayed in General Murong's mansion for decades.
