Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 175
I just heard the woman say: "Since ancient times, quarreling between husband and wife is just the norm in the world. Besides, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework. Going to the government is already going to tear your face. The capital city says it's big or small. Little, when the two families meet in the future, friction will inevitably continue. When a husband and wife are together, it is better to give each other some face."

It turns out that this is what women mean.

Kong Shoucheng smiled: "Since the lady did not commit suicide, I can rest assured."

He said rest assured, but still stuck in place.This is because she is afraid that something will happen to her.

A warm current flashed in Zhao Jinxiu's heart.A stranger who met on different roads was so worried about her.

This was the first time she had resisted the Shen family. She rushed out of the Shen family recklessly, but she had nowhere to go, so she had to wander around, walking, and came to the moat.

Looking at the endlessly flowing icy cold water, she wanted to jump in for a moment.

The child was in the belly and kicked her.

She woke up suddenly, scolding herself fiercely in her heart.Yes, the child is so innocent. Although it is pitiful to have a father like Shen Pingle, it is even more cruel for her to throw the child into the river and commit suicide irresponsibly.

So she leaned against the railing, quietly thinking about what to do.

But I met this young kind-hearted man.

Looking at Kong Shoucheng's simple and honest face, Zhao Jinxiu felt a great deal of thought.

She blurted out: "This little brother, can you do me a favor?"

Although Kong Shoucheng was in a hurry to find his horse back to the station, he couldn't just leave him dead.Immediately agreed happily: "My lady, please tell me."

Zhao Jinxiu gritted her teeth: "Can you lend me twenty pennies, and then in the name of my younger brother, rent a house near here."

Kong Shoucheng was a little dumbfounded, but this lady really dared to say it.Borrowing money is fine, but renting a house to live with her, this, this, if her husband's family finds her in the future, if it is really just a quarrel between the husband and wife, wouldn't he become a helper?What's more, the little lady has a big belly, she should be about to give birth.

Seeing that Kong Shoucheng was hesitant, Zhao Jinxiu smiled wryly, "Sorry, I was the one to be abrupt."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and stroked her stomach again.If it doesn't work, she will stay through tonight, and tomorrow she will find a way to meet with the fourth sister in private and ask her to lend him some money.In the natal family, I am afraid that only the fourth sister is desperate to help herself.

Zhao Jinxiu bit her lip tightly.

Kong Shoucheng looked at her.

She is really thin, obviously the clothes she is wearing don't look too bad, but why is she so thin?There wasn't even a hairpin on her head.Judging from her appearance, she was born so well, and she should be a jewel in the palm of her parents' hands before she got married.What a crime, he, Kong Shoucheng, doesn't even have a wife. Those beasts have such beautiful wives, but they don't know how to cherish them.

Kong Shoucheng blurted out: "It just so happens that a friend of mine lives near here. The courtyard is very quiet and there are spare rooms. He is also very nice, and he doesn't often live there on weekdays. I'll take you there right away."

Song Jingxing obeyed the words of his wife who had never been married, and after sending Kong Shoucheng away, he washed up early and went to sleep with his clothes on.

I was sleeping in a daze, when I heard someone knocking on the window again, it was still going on and on.

He frowned.Kong Shoucheng came again.I'm afraid this guy may have missed something.

He got up slowly, walked slowly outside the living room, opened the window, and saw Kong Shoucheng outside the window, panting: "Brother Song Xian, I have something to ask this time!"

Hearing Kong Shoucheng finish the matter in a hurry, Song Jingxing frowned: "No, how decent is this lonely man and widow?"

Kong Shoucheng was sweating profusely, but Zhao Jinxiu was still outside waiting for him to open the door.He hurriedly said: "Aren't you just afraid that the Ni family's wife will be jealous? No, I will settle her down and bring a few maidservants from my house to serve her, but that's okay? You, you don't have to show up, anyway. You go home after recovering from your injuries, and she will live in this small courtyard from now on, and I will pay your rent, is that okay?"

Song Jingxing looked at Kong Shoucheng expressionlessly.

As soon as this guy said it, he came back with a lot of trouble in the blink of an eye.He couldn't help it, if the woman's husband's family sued the government in the future, he would be accused of abducting a good girl.

Kong Shoucheng looked at Song Jingxing sweating profusely.

Song Jingxing sighed: "You settle it yourself, I won't show up."

"Good brother." Kong Shoucheng wiped off his sweat, bowed his hands to Song Jingxing, and went straight to the wall behind.

Song Jingxing was expressionless: "You are in a daze, and you want to climb the wall if there is a door?"

right!He originally wanted to open the door from the inside and let Zhao Jinxiu in.

I was so happy that I was dizzy.Kong Shoucheng slapped his head and went straight to the courtyard gate.

Song Jingxing closed the door neatly, and lay on the bed again, listening to the movement outside.It was always Kong Shoucheng who was nagging, and the woman responded with a word or two in a soft voice.The woman didn't live in the main house, but chose a side room.

Kong Shoucheng settled Zhao Jinxiu, saying that he was going home to grab a maid to serve her, but before Zhao Jinxiu had time to refuse, he left in a hurry.

Sitting under the solitary lamp, Zhao Jinxiu stroked her stomach and said with a smile, "My son, you will be as kind as this kind-hearted man in the future."

The side room is not big, there is a bamboo bed and a table, Zhao Jinxiu smelled the smell, it seems that it is often ventilated to dissipate the smell.Thinking that Kong Shoucheng would bring someone back later, she didn't dare to rest. She just sat by the table and wanted to wait for Kong Shoucheng, but in the end she was so tired that she fell asleep lying on the table.

Today, she was tortured by her mother-in-law. She stood for an hour and only ate a cold steamed bun.

The student Shen Pingle even said sarcastically: "Don't think that your father will be able to support you when he comes back. I have inquired about it. He was able to come back from Jiangzhou this time because he was demoted again. Old man, he was assigned an eighth-rank official position in Beijing. Eighth rank, heck, but he is not worthy of entering my house."

If it was the past, she would forget it.But today, she suddenly remembered what the fourth sister said.Apart from myself, who else can stand up for me?She immediately mustered up her courage, and said sarcastically, "Although my father is a rank eight, you have never been an official."

Shen Pingle stared at her, his nostrils fluttered, and he shouted, "Get lost!"

In the past, she would go back to her room and cry secretly, but this time, she really walked out of Shen's house.The Shen family has always had a lax access control, and she was dressed plainly, so she walked out of the Shen family just like that.

After leaving Shen's house, which suffocated her, the air was so fresh.There were people coming and going on the street, busy, but no one paid attention to her.So good, so good.She never wanted to go back to Shen's house.

She fell into a deep sleep, sleeping so soundly that she didn't even dream.

Someone gently shook her awake: "My lady, my lady, don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold."

The man's voice was gentle, like gentle wind and light rain.

Zhao Jinxiu woke up suddenly, facing a soft round face.This is a young girl with a double bun, soft eyebrows, and a good-tempered person at first glance.

The young girl smiled and said: "Lady, go to the bed and lie down quickly. The servants have already spread the bedding. They are all new and scented. Ladies, feel free to rest."

Zhao Jinxiu lost sleepiness: "You are..."

The young girl said: "My name is A Fang, and I was specially ordered by Mr. Liu Lang to serve my lady. A Fang is also here, and she is preparing tomorrow's meal in the kitchen. What taboos does my lady have?"

Zhao Jinxiu was extremely grateful: "I have nothing to say, I just want to trouble you."

Ah Yuan said: "My lady, please don't say that. It is our blessing to be able to serve you. Seeing that my lady is very tired, I'd better go to bed and rest."

She has served the Kong family for many years, and she has never seen such a thin pregnant woman.God poor!What a crime!

In this room Zhao Jinxiu finally lay down safely, and in the other room Huang asked Qiu Hong to search for Zhao Jinyi. After searching for half an hour, Qiu Hong found out that the fourth girl was in Tai'an Courtyard.
