Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 189

Xu Nianxi returned to the South Garden with a dazed expression. She couldn't accept what Zhou Jinghong said, and she didn't even want to believe that those words came from Zhou Jinghong's mouth.

She couldn't hear a word of what the maids said at this time, Xu Nianxi still couldn't recover from the shock and shock of what Zhou Jinghong said.Everything around her seemed to be something from another world to her at this moment.

The reason why Xu Nianxi was shocked was that she didn't understand what Zhou Jinghong said.She at least understands that her own situation is indeed - her family background is not high, her parents are divorced, and she doesn't have any powerful family background to help her.

Regardless of whether the family background is powerful or not, neither her grandfather nor father had any official positions, and her grandfather may be able to help her, but that is what Zhou Jinghong said, that is, it can make her go smoothly. Marry into a small family in this capital to be the main wife.

The Marquis' Mansion, the Duke's Mansion, or the Bo's Mansion or the Aristocratic Family are all just extravagant fantasies.

Don't you ever understand these things?Xu Nianxi asked herself in her heart.

She sat in a daze, thinking back to the past, wondering why she became what she is today.When she was in Fuyang in the past, she didn't seem to have too much extravagance.Although at that time I never thought about getting married, but I also never thought about such a rich life.

However, all this has changed now.

Since her father passed away, she has heard from her grandmother again and again, how many times she can't count, what kind of good life the family will live.If her father wins the exam, they can go to the capital.When her father passed the Jinshi examination, the family could stay in the capital and live a wealthy life.

At that time, I didn't have too many specific concepts, I only vaguely imagined in my heart, what my grandmother's so-called rich life should be like, but she just imagined it out of thin air.

It was only when she really arrived in the capital that she understood what her grandmother said about the rich life.After just walking around the Four Princess Mansion, she realized that what her grandmother was talking about was a kind of good life that she never imagined before, and never thought she could live.

All the things you use are exquisite and precious; all the food you eat are delicious; all the jewelry you wear are gorgeous and bright; all the clothes you wear are well-tailored; The daughter of the noble daughter, the prince and grandson.

She hoped, believed, and waited with all her heart that she would be able to live such a life one day.

Xu Nianxi still remembers clearly that after coming to the capital, her originally harmonious family became different from the past.The grandmother complained all day long because they didn't live in the princess mansion, sometimes she said it in front of her mother, and sometimes she said it in front of her, telling her that if it wasn't for her mother, they should live in the princess mansion inside.

Mother was patient at the beginning, but when she couldn't bear it, she quarreled and quarreled non-stop.

However, even if she didn't quite understand why they were not able to live in the Fourth Princess' Mansion, it was her own mother who knew this kind of thing.What's more, Xu Nianxi was thinking that when his father won the election, he would not have to worry about it in the future. He never thought that his father, or the Xu family, depended on his grandfather to live a good life.

What happened after that made Xu Nianxi have to admit that her idea of ​​relying on her father to live a good life was too simple and stupid.Her father has nothing, and her grandfather can't help much, so she can only rely on the help of her grandfather and uncle; and without the help of her grandfather and uncle, her father may not be able to do much.

Xu Nianxi was deeply aware of this on the day her grandfather and uncle came to take her, her mother and younger brother to the Princess Mansion.She looked at her grandfather and grandmother who didn't have any power, no matter how much she didn't want to, she didn't want her and her brother to leave, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she could only curse.

That look is really indescribably pitiful, and even being ridiculed and uneducated is really indescribably shameful.

So what if you don't want to go to this point?They finally left, and her grandparents couldn't do anything about it.

During the period of living in the Four Princess Mansion, Xu Nianxi really felt the love from her grandfather and uncle, which made her realize at the same time that it is better to let go of hope than to expect her father who will bully her mother. On the grandfather and uncle.

She obviously has two grandfathers who held important positions in the capital, a grandmother who was born in the British government, several very promising uncles, and one who was not a few years older than her and married into the Marquis's mansion as the eldest wife aunt.

Obviously having such a good grandparent's family, and having such relatives who can make her live an unknowingly better life than when she was in Fuyang, Xu Nianxi doesn't want to go back to Fuyang even more.

When she realized that her father and mother were about to break up and had no hope of living a good life, she just wanted to stay, stay in the capital, and didn't want to go back to Xu's family, her father and grandfather at all. , Grandma's side to live the kind of life before.

Xu Nianxi, who was fascinated by the rich and prosperous capital, finally came up with an unrealistic idea.

At the age of 13, she will soon reach the age of marriage.She thought that if she left the Xu family and was protected by her grandfather and others, it wasn't that she had no hope of climbing into a good family.It is precisely because of this that Xu Nianxi wants to rely on this to win a game.Just today, not long ago, Zhou Jinghong crushed her thoughts so hard that not even the dregs were left.

Xu Nianxi thought that Zhou Jinghong didn't have any thoughts about her, and thought that Zhou Jinghong often gave her gifts and came to see her at the Fourth Princess' Mansion because he had feelings for her.She thought that she hadn't made a mistake, and she didn't think she would make a mistake. She didn't think that Zhou Jinghong didn't have any thoughts about her between men and women.

How could Xu Nianxi think that Zhou Jinghong would say such a thing to her?

Giving her presents and visiting her is just for fun.The gift is not worth a few dollars, it doesn't matter, just give it as soon as it is given, there is nothing to feel bad about.Even if she felt that she was different from other women, she could at most be allowed to enter the house as a concubine, and the position of main wife, no matter how she thought about it, it was impossible for her to fall on her head.

What a cruel and desperate reality.

Zhou Jinghong's blow to the head finally woke up Xu Nianxi.Xu Nianxi sat in the room blankly until the black curtain began to be drawn between the sky and the earth. She also wanted to understand all kinds of things during this period.

The room was getting darker and darker, the maid lit a candle, Xu Nianxi's eyes suddenly regained light.She looked at the various furnishings of the house in the dim candlelight, and looked at these luxuries that only belonged to others, and she knew in her heart more than ever that the extravagant life she dreamed of had nothing to do with her at all.

The sandalwood box that Zhou Jinghong gave her was placed on the table, Xu Nianxi reached out and picked up the copper piece to open the box, and all kinds of exquisite and small gifts contained in it appeared in front of her eyes .At this moment, it seemed that these gifts were laughing at her wishful thinking.

Because she actually thought it was someone else's intentions, that someone else had put their minds to it, who knows, but in the end, no one cared about it at all.

Xu Nianxi felt bored all of a sudden, she stretched out her hand to quickly and heavily cover the wooden box, making an abrupt "bang", which was especially ear-piercing in the silence of the evening.Are you desperate?Are you unwilling?Don't you want to?But, what can she do... Xu Nianxi thought dejectedly, what can she do?

"Xi'er?" Lin Yu heard the maid came to report that something was wrong with her daughter, so she rushed over to see what was going on.Lin Yu walked into the room and saw her daughter sitting there as if she had lost her soul. She didn't notice her coming in at all, and immediately yelled.

Hearing her mother's voice, Xu Nianxi's eyes became brighter, making her less lifeless.She turned her head and saw Lin Yu striding towards her, and when she heard her mother ask her what happened, she suddenly felt overwhelmed, the grievance, sourness and despair in her heart seemed to have found an outlet to vent ...

Xu Nianxi stood up, she rushed in front of Concubine Lin, hugged her mother and burst into tears with a "wow".

Before the new year's day, Lin Yu took her daughter Xu Nianxi and moved out of the fourth princess's mansion.For Li Yan, life didn't have much impact; for Lin Yu, it was her real start of a new life.

Xu Nianxi was indeed hit hard, which made her unable to let go of it for a long time, unable to forget what Zhou Jinghong said to her.

She was full of resentment and resentment, but she could only digest it slowly by herself.That evening, Lin Yu hugged Xu Nianxi and wept together. The mother and daughter comforted each other, and finally realized the heavy meaning of the words "depending on each other".

It was precisely because she was accompanied by her own mother that Xu Nianxi didn't have any bad thoughts, even if she was really desperate at that time, she didn't have any bad thoughts.

Xu Nianxi told her mother all the things while crying bitterly. Through this incident, Lin Yu also realized some deviations in her daughter's thinking, and even realized her own failure as a mother.

Lin Yu originally thought that as a daughter, it would be unfilial for her to let her father still worry about her at this age; as a sister, she is not a good sister if she only troubles her younger brother; Whether the wife is qualified has been shaken; the son does not know what is going on now, and the daughter has not been able to teach well... This makes Lin Yu feel that no matter what his status is, he is a failure.

What happened in the past seven or eight months made Lin Yu almost deny herself. She deeply realized how much she did not do enough to her father and younger brother in the past, and she did not treat her son and daughter as she thought. Well, but he didn't treat the Xu family members and Xu Ji to the point of pouring out his heart and soul.

What a wrong behavior that is, she can be nice to her husband, but why does she have to make herself feel inferior and easy to use and calculate?She was so devoted to the members of the Xu family, how did they treat her?Lin Yu found out where she made the most mistakes, and now she has drawn a clear line with the Xu family. She didn't want to think about it, but Lin Yu wanted to make up for her father, brother and daughter.

She now understands that the members of the Xu family have nothing to do with her. She doesn't care if she can remarry in the future. If she remarries but has a bad life, even if she has to be pointed at in the future Wish it was over.No matter what, at least her daughter Xu Nianxi was still by her side, it was enough for her to have her daughter.

For Lin Yu, the only regret... is still that her youngest son, Xu Yun, is not by her side, and she has no way to take care of her.Now Lin Yu only hoped that her son Xu Yun would be safe and well, otherwise she would not be able to forgive herself.

Lin Yuan raised her baby in Fenyonghou's mansion, and didn't hear too much about Lin Yu and Xu Nianxi, only that they moved out of the Fourth Princess' mansion.Due to her own body, she couldn't go to see her cousins ​​Lin Yu and Xu Nianxi, but she sent Bi Yi and her maid to take some things for her.

Because Lin Yuan sent someone to her, Lin Yu and Xu Nianxi, and gave away a lot of things, Lin Yu took Xu Nianxi to the Marquis Mansion to see Lin Yuan once.Lin Yuan saw that her cousin was in good spirits, so she didn't ask why she moved out of the Fourth Princess's mansion.She didn't know what Xu Nianxi had done in the fourth princess's mansion, after all, Li Yan didn't want to spread it everywhere.

Seeing that both Lin Yu and Xu Nianxi were doing well, Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention to them because she couldn't tell the difference.Now she and Qi Yingyu are eager to see through, just waiting for any news from Fuyang, or if they can send a letter or something.

However, neither Lin Yuan nor Qi Yingyu waited for the letter from Qi Haoran and Li Sui, or even a single word.The news from Fuyang came back very slowly, and it can be said that there was not much news back. Except for knowing what happened at the beginning, there was very little news later, and there was no way to understand the specific situation.

In the middle of winter and the twelfth lunar month, there have been countless heavy snowfalls in the capital. The Laba Festival has passed for a while, and the New Year is over. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, and Qi Haoran and Li Wei have left the capital for about two months, they After leaving, Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu didn't receive any news.

To Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu, the New Year's Eve of this year seemed rather bleak.They didn't have the feeling of joy when approaching the new year's festival in previous years. Both of them were very anxious in their hearts, but they tried not to show it on their faces.Lin Yuan's mother-in-law, Zhu Bicong, would advise and comfort Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu every day, knowing that they must be thinking wildly.

Even if he didn't think that something would happen to Qi Haoran and Li Zhen, Zhu Bicong also hoped that Qi Haoran and Li Zhen would return to the capital soon.In the freezing season, there are too many variables.The deposed prince chose to make trouble again at this time, so it may be that he has some kind of plan.She originally thought that nothing would happen if the deposed prince was imprisoned in Fuyang, but she didn't expect that something would happen and such a big one would happen again.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, both Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu got up very early.Everywhere in the mansion was carefully tidied up, and then red lanterns were hung up. Red silk was hung on the bare branches whose leaves had long since withered.

But neither Lin Yuan nor Qi Yingyu was very happy.The more they had no news, the more worried and scared they became.Although this is the case, Lin Yuan has not left behind what she should do. The imperial doctor confessed that she would walk around the house for an hour or two every day, and Lin Yuan would insist on it every day.

Unable to receive Qi Haoran's letters and news at all, Lin Yuan wrote to Qi Haoran herself, one after another neatly folded and sealed in an envelope, but none of them was sent out.At the beginning, I was able to endure three to five days to write one, but later, it became one every day.Lin Yuan wrote down all her worries and anxieties on paper, so that at least she could feel better.

According to the calculated date, Lin Yuan should be able to give birth to the child before the New Year's Eve, but it has been a while and there is still no movement. Zhu Bicong has been able to calm down all this time.

Everyone in the Lin family was unavoidably anxious, fearing that something might happen.It's just that no matter which imperial physician was invited to check the pulse, she said it was all right, and asked Lin Yuan to continue to pay attention and rest, and let her adjust her mood. Everyone in the Lin family calmed down slowly, and they had to wait and see what happened.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Xu Yueshan, who was worried, came to see Lin Yuan, asked the imperial physician about her pulse diagnosis, and hurried back to Lin's house when she saw that she was fine.

In addition to Xu Yueshan, Lin Yuan's grandmother was also thinking about her body, and asked Lin Yuan's eldest aunt to come and see her, and also to see if the midwives and stable women in the house were ready, for fear of the children. I want to celebrate the New Year together, so I pop out at this time.

On Qi Yingyu's side, Zheng Guogong's mansion also sent people to come to see her, because even if she is still a little short of the day she was counting, she is not too far away, and it is hard to say when she will suddenly start.Even if the people in Zheng Guogong's mansion wanted her to go back to celebrate the New Year, they didn't dare to mess around too much, so they had to leave her in the Fenyonghou mansion and ask someone to come over to see if she was doing well.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, both Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu met several waves of people, and it was not until the afternoon that they returned to their usual appearance.Probably subconsciously always thinking that this year is the New Year's Eve, and Qi Haoran probably won't be able to come back. The more Lin Yuan stays in the house, the more bored she feels. Hearing that the weather outside is not too bad, she calls Bi Yi and Bisha helped her go outside for a walk to relax.

Qi Yingyu just wanted to come over to have a look at Lin Yuan, but the two ran into each other outside.Qi Yingyu began to suffer from severe morning sickness when she was more than two months pregnant, and it didn't stop until she was more than seven months old. She was so thin that she was almost out of shape, but she finally regained some weight in the past two months.

Since Qi Haoran left, Lin Yuan has also lost some weight. She is no more plump than when Qi Haoran was in the capital or in the mansion, but compared to Qi Yingyu, she still looks fatter.The belly is the most obvious in comparison. Firstly, her baby is twins, but Qi Yingyu is not; secondly, she is fatter than Qi Yingyu, and her belly is inevitably bigger.Now that the two of them no longer make fun of each other, it should be said that it is a good situation that they did not hug each other and cry bitterly.

Qi Yingyu heard Lin Yuan say that she was bored in the house and went out for a walk. She was looking for Lin Yuan again, so naturally she accompanied her.As for the fact that Qi Haoran and Li Wei have not come back and have no news until today, at this time, no one has mentioned it, but each other's thoughts are very clear to each other.It is precisely because it is clear that there is no need to say too much.

The cold air contained the breath of winter, and the not-so-strong sunlight was too gentle and gentle on the body, without much feeling.Every breath of hot air turned into white mist, and the hot hand stove in his hand made the back of his hand a little hot.
