married daughter

Chapter 116 I have my obsession, it has nothing to do with her

It goes without saying that the old lady loves Xiao Beishu.Not only because of Xiao Beishu's reputation, but more importantly because of his pitiful background and how he knows how to work hard to survive.

"Brother Bei, do you have a girl you like?" The old lady took Xiao Beishu's hand and patted it.

Xiao Beishu's face flushed when asked, and he smiled brightly: "No hurry, I'm still young."

The old lady gave him a very disapproving look: "Why don't you worry, you are 22 now, right? Look at Brother Xuan, your son is already that old. Now that you have fame and fame, if you say you want to marry a wife, A matchmaker can level the threshold of your family. Brother Bei, don’t set your horizons too high. I know you are well educated, and you don’t like vulgar fans, but marrying a wife and virtue can give you It's good that you take care of the house. Don't wait any longer. "

"Old Ancestor, I understand." Xiao Beishu replied with a smile.

The old lady patted the back of his hand and said dissatisfied: "You, you know how to perfuse my old lady every time."

"Old Ancestor, I am not perfunctory, I am Ning Que Wu Lan. If I marry a wife, I will definitely find a woman who is ashamed of the moon, dignified and virtuous, beautiful and intelligent. The most important thing is that if I like her, she must also like me. It's good to raise the eyebrows, but if the two of them spend their lives facing each other, wouldn't it be boring if they only stay at this stage? Just deal with things casually and don't marry."

Xiao Beishu's words were not passionate, but every sentence entered Ruan Yunting's heart.She always felt that Xiao Beishu was very different from men nowadays.Unexpectedly, he also indirectly expressed the idea of ​​demanding equality and reciprocity in love.If you originally only thought that Xiao Beishu was chic, unrestrained, talented, and unique, but now Ruan Yunting feels like she has found something similar.It's no wonder that Jun Lanzhou and Xiao Beishu can become good friends. Their thoughts and opinions in certain aspects coincide with each other.

The old lady, the first lady and the third wife all looked at Xiao Beishu in a little surprise when they heard the words, they never expected that such remarks could come from a man.

The eldest lady couldn't help persuading: "Although what my nephew said is also reasonable, what the old lady said is still right. To marry a wife and virtue, my nephew must choose a woman with a dignified character to live in the house. Only what you said Hua Rongyue is beautiful and intelligent, so choosing a concubine whom you like is not enough?"

Xiao Beishu grinned, "My two Shuxiu are both wives and concubines. It's terrible that I can't afford to support them. One is enough. Write more about my aunt's concern."

No concubine?Everyone present was a little shocked.Ruan Yunting looked at Xiao Beishu with more inquiring eyes.

The old lady lightly tapped Xiao Beishu's forehead: "I don't know what Laoshizi's books I have read all day long. Such a dignified man actually has such a little daughter's mind, and it makes people laugh when he tells it."

"What are you afraid of? Here at the ancestors, it's not in front of outsiders."

The third wife listened quietly for a while, and seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed and the old lady was smiling happily, she interjected jokingly: "The old lady and the wife said that there are twenty-two good nephews, and they are indeed not young. I slowly The daughters of the family are all beautiful, if the nephew doesn't dislike her, why not choose one from the Xu family." After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

The Xu family has not yet allowed any other girls, except for the seventh girl Qiao and Ruan Yunting who are with the second master at the border, there are only girls from the third room.The eighth girl and the ninth girl are about the same age, and they are a good match for Xiao Beishu, but the ninth girl, Xu Ningmin, is a concubine after all.Only the eighth girl, Xu Ningxia, was worthy of being the number one scholar.

Everyone knew what the third wife was thinking, so Ruan Yunting blinked curiously at Xiao Beishu, waiting for his reaction.Seeing her looking over, Xiao Beishu smiled back.

The old lady's eyes dimmed when she heard this.Pursing her lips, she didn't agree, and the eldest wife didn't say much when she saw this.The atmosphere is a little cold.

Xiao Beishu stood up, glanced at the old lady, then saluted the third wife with a smile: "Thank you for the concern of the third aunt, but my nephew will wait."

The word "waiting" was a bit heavy, and when he spoke, his gaze was still looking at Ruan Yunting intentionally or unintentionally.

When the third wife heard this, her expression turned ugly.Everyone said it so bluntly, she couldn't say anything more, she nodded and smiled awkwardly.He looked at the old lady with some resentment.

The eldest sister of the eldest room entered the palace and became a concubine, and the fifth sister of the third room had that incident after she married the Jun family for half a year. Now she finally has the opportunity to be able to climb up to a son-in-law like Xiao Beishu. Unexpectedly, the old lady would She didn't help and talk, and still pretended to be dead. She was so angry that her liver hurt.And Ruan Yunting.What did Xiao Beishu mean by looking at her? !

The old lady glanced at the third wife with her eyes, then at Ruan Yunting, whose expression was still unclear, and finally at Xiao Beishu, her thoughts turned, as if she was thinking about the meaning of Xiao Beishu's words.

Xiao Beishu smiled calmly, and said: "Old ancestor, what I said to wait is to wait for that woman who is also beautiful, well-read, beautiful and intelligent, and who has a common language with me to appear."

Didn't you wait for Ruan Yunting?The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.Xiao Beishu's life experience is pitiful, but it is too heavy. She is a daughter of the Xu family, it is best not to marry him to avoid accidents.

"Old lady, the food is ready, should it be placed in the side room or in the room?"

"Just put it here."

"Yes."

Huamei bowed and retreated, while the eldest wife and the third wife stepped forward to help the old lady get off her shoes.Ruan Yunting and Xiao Beishu both stood up.At this very moment, Shu Cui came in and said, "Old lady, Miss Eighth, Miss Nine and Miss Twelve are here."

The old lady looked at the third wife meaningfully, "It's a coincidence that they came here. Forget it, let's have dinner together."

The third wife coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment, and asked Shu Cui to buy more tableware.

When everyone was seated, Ruan Yunting was sitting at the bottom. She had just eaten two bites when Huamei came into the room to report that the fourth master, the eleventh master and the thirteenth master had arrived.

Hearing this, the old lady put down her chopsticks, touched her lips with the handkerchief, and looked at the third wife with a half-smile.It was a good casual meal, but the third wife deliberately turned it into a "curry feast".It is understandable that she is devoted to her child's future, but today's occasion is not right.

Xiao Beishu didn't seem to care, and answered all the questions raised by Xu Chengming, Xu Chengshuo and Xu Chengzhen from time to time for flattery and performance, and praised the three of them.

It was Xu time when we returned to Jingsi Garden.After Ruan Yunting washed, she turned away the others, leaving only the red beans, so that he lit the incense and waved it around in the dark room as usual, while she followed the incense head with her eyes.

"Hongdou, what happened in the mansion today?"

Hongdou kept moving, and said in a low voice: "There are two major events in this mansion today. Xihui in the fourth master's room fell into the water and died. There is also Xiaoer in the second grandmother's room who was beaten for stealing. I bought [-] boards to send to the government, but I heard that I was humiliated halfway, and I was hit by my head."

Ruan Yunting's gaze that was originally looking at Xiangtou suddenly stopped, and she looked at Hongdou, but she didn't seem to be looking at her.

Xihui's death was almost predictable to her. A maidservant hooked up with the two gentlemen of the long room and the third room. If this shameful thing happened in secret, it would be easy to handle. If it was in the hands of the second grandmother, she would naturally have to deal with it. .But it got to the old lady's ears, and was dealt with by the two wives. It would be strange if Xihui kept it.But laughing...

As soon as Xiao'er died, Ruan Yunting was almost sure that her intentional injury that day should have been instigated by someone. If she hadn't been sent back, she might have survived, but if she hadn't been sent back, she would have been disadvantageous to herself.

"What did Xiaoer steal?" Ruan Yunting continued to stare at Xiangtou and roll her eyes.

Hong Dou said: "It is said that a gold-plated oriental beaded Tiaoxin was lost in Second Mistress's room, and I found it at Xiao'er."

"What did she say when she was dragged out of the mansion? Did she complain about her innocence?"

"I never complained, nor begged for mercy, I just cried." Hongdou paused in doubt, and said, "Miss, but what's wrong with it?"

Ruan Yunting shook her head and said: "It's nothing, you've done a good job." Now her heart is very heavy, the matter of the masters in this house cost the lives of two people, it's really a crime.

Ruan Yunting slept very restlessly at night, dreaming that she was captured by Lu Wenshan, tied up in the woodshed and whipped wantonly.When she was crying and begging for mercy, Lu Wenshan suddenly became her husband from the previous life, Jun Zhaoyan, and told her sadly—"Go back and live a good life, you will always be the grandma of the Jun family, but we will always be there again Don't meet." Then he tied her neck with a whip.

Under suffocation, Ruan Yunting sat up in horror, the cold sweat on her forehead glistened, sliding down the bridge of her nose and cheeks, her chest heaved and heaved due to violent panting.

"What's the matter, is it a nightmare?" A deep male voice came from beside the bed.

Ruan Yunting didn't feel scared, because Shui Qiuxin had been with her every night for the past few days, just staying in her bedroom, and would not do anything beyond the distance.Thanks to having him, she felt much at ease.That day my wife’s Persian cat, Xueqiu, came and almost scratched her, but she was caught by Shui Qiuxin’s reminder, and the maid of the second grandma came to give a gift the day before yesterday, and accidentally broke the vase, leaving crumbs Almost cut her... These few days, she really had a lot of troubles.

"Uncle Shui." Ruan Yunting wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Shui Qiuxin wiped her face twice with the sleeve of her robe, and said in a low voice: "After tonight, the seven-day period will be over. Those people didn't succeed, and they won't have another chance in the future."

"I know, thank you very much." Ruan Yunting smiled gratefully, and the pure smile on her face looked extraordinarily holy under the night.

Shui Qiuxin seemed to be confused, shook his head and said: "Thank you, you and Brother Lan are fine, it's not that I'm ashamed of Ling Yue."

"Uncle Shui, you have done your best for my mother. There is really no need to suffer yourself for this."

"You don't understand, I have my obsession, and it has nothing to do with her." Shui Qiuxin took out a small white porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to Ruan Yunting, saying: "You hand over this to Brother Lan."

"What is this?"

"He asked me for the wound medicine. Maybe he was afraid that you would get hurt. I have to leave for a while, you have to take care of each other with Brother Lan."

leave?Ruan Yunting grabbed Shui Qiuxin's sleeve: "Uncle Shui, where are you going?"
