Chapter 229: New Year, New Weather
Since the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, it has snowed heavily, and the heavy snow has been falling for two days and two nights, and the roof, trees, and roads are covered with a thick layer of snow.
Zisu came in with water to wash Yuxi's face, put down the towel and said, "Fortunately, I'm back home, if I'm in the countryside, I don't know how to live!"
Yuxi washed his face, sat down in front of the dresser and said, "The people on Zhuangzi have passed year after year, why can't I live." "When you get to that situation, you can get over anything.
Zi Su said: "How can they compare with the girl!" Her girl Jin Jiaoyu is expensive, where is the flat-headed people on the Zhuangzi can compare.
Yuxi took a hairpin inlaid with huge pearls and put it on his head, and said: "What can't be compared, regardless of identity, it's all the same." "How many eunuchs, once they are in trouble, they are not as good as the ordinary people!
Zi Su wouldn't be stupid enough to argue with Yuxi about this.
The news of Yuxi's succession to the big house has already been revealed, and everyone who should know knows it. So Yuxi went to visit relatives and received nearly twice as much New Year's money as before.
On the third day of the new year, I went to the Zhou family to pay New Year's greetings, and the eldest lady of the Zhou family and Mrs. Tuesday both gave a thick red envelope. Yuxi is now receiving red envelopes, and she is not as excited as she was when she was a child. Just showed a proper smile and thanked the two elders.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhou Shiya pulled Yuxi back to her courtyard. As soon as she entered the house, Zhou Shiya grabbed Yuxi's arm and asked, "Yuxi, I heard that Mrs. Chen has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you to Chen Ran, and she has already gone to the Han family to propose marriage, is this true?" Zhou Shiya also heard what her mother said this morning, she couldn't believe it, but her mother wouldn't lie to her with this kind of thing. Therefore, Zhou Shiya urgently needs to get Yuxi's answer.
Yuxi said with a surprised face: "Who is talking nonsense here? Who is Chen Ran, that is Xie Yuan of last year's township test, how can I be worthy?" Suing Zhou Shiya is equivalent to suing Mrs. Tuesday, so there are many more secret things Yuxi will not sue Zhou Shiya. It's not a deliberate concealment, but it's good for everyone.
Zhou Shiya didn't think that Yuxi was unworthy: "Why can't you be worthy? Isn't it just a Xie Yuan? "After a township test, there are more than 20 yuan to solve it, and more is worthless. However, there is only one champion, which is still more valuable. But it's not uncommon, after all, the champion is also every three years.
Yuxi smiled and said, "You don't know what my reputation is, do you think Mrs. Chen can let her son marry a wife like me?"
Zhou Shiya said amusefully and angrily: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Master Pu Yuan said that you are not destined for decline, who will say that you are destined for decline?"
Yuxi was stunned: "When did it happen? Why don't I know?"
Zhou Shiya looked at Yuxi's appearance and made sure that she really didn't know: "It was at the end of last year." When the Guogong Mansion released the news, many people didn't believe it, but later the steward master of Lingshan Temple came forward to confirm it, saying that Master Puyuan did say that you are not destined to decline. When the master steward said this, several ladies were there! ”
Yuxi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Mother and eldest brother didn't tell me." If you don't say it, I'm still in the dark. Without this reputation, even if she rejects the Chen family, it will be easy to find other good people.
Zhou Shiya said: "Yuxi, I think what my mother said is not groundless. You see, your current identity is different from before, you are smart and capable, and you are beautiful, where can you find such a good girl. It's not surprising that Mrs. Chen has taken a fancy to you. ”
Yu Xile said happily: "Don't praise anymore, if you praise me again, I will float to the sky." However, with her current conditions, the range of choices is indeed much larger. It's not that she boasts, except for the prince and grandson, in terms of her identity and what she knows, everyone can marry.
Zhou Shiya said with a broken face: "You don't know, when my mother told me about this, she poked my head and said that I was useless." She also said that if I had half the ability of you, she wouldn't have to worry about it. "Hearing my mother say this, I was also frustrated in my heart!
Yuxi smiled: "Your mother said this to stimulate you and let you learn needlework well." In your mother's heart, she is naturally the best and best of her daughter. ”
Zhou Shiya's maid walked in and said, "Girl, the eighth girl is here." ”
Yuxi was a little strange and asked, "Why did she come over?" Yuxi and the eighth girl Zhou Shirui were just in love, and they didn't have much contact in private.
Zhou Shiya smiled: "I guess I came to you." My sister-in-law has always been good at studying, and you are probably the goal she is striving for now!" "The concubine of Grandpa Guo, and the beloved concubine of Duchess Guo and her two brothers, this amount is not knowing how many times higher than that of the third-room concubine."
Mrs. Tuesday has a good means, her mother's family is powerful, several aunts are suppressed so that they dare not move, and several other concubines and concubines are honestly afraid to take the lead. However, Zhou Shirui is the concubine of the big house and does not fall within the jurisdiction of Mrs. Tuesday.
Yuxi chuckled: "Forget it, what is the goal, I can't help it." If she hadn't been forced to be helpless, she wouldn't have been willing to go out.
Zhou Shiya shook her head and said, "I know, but they don't know." They only know that now Yuxi is especially loved by the Duchess of the Kingdom and the prince, and thinks that you are very powerful. ”
After Zhou Shirui came in, she was very enthusiastic, praising Yuxi from her head to her feet, and praising Yuxi like a fairy in the sky.
In order to make his life better, there is nothing wrong with currying favor with him, and Yuxi has also curryed favor with Yuchen before. But Zhou Shirui is too explicit like this, not to mention Yuxi, Zhou Shiya can't stand it: "Yuxi, didn't you just say that you want to go back with your eldest cousin and second cousin?"
Yuxi is used to sitting on a cold bench, and she is really a little unbearable in the face of the enthusiastic Zhou Shirui. After listening to Zhou Shiya's words, she immediately stood up. But before she could speak, Zhou Shirui stood up and said, "Cousin, I'll be with you!"
Yuxi is a guest, and there are some things that are difficult to say. Zhou Shiya was not polite and said: "I have something to say to Yuxi, it's not good for others to listen." If you want to talk to Yuxi, wait for next time!" It's not that Zhou Shiya is unemotional, it's really that Zhou Shirui is too cheeky. If she didn't say it so bluntly, she wouldn't have left at all.
Zhou Shirui saw that Yuxi didn't speak, and left with an ugly face.
Zhou Shiya led Yuxi to Mrs. Zhou's courtyard, and said as she walked: "You don't have to be polite when you see her in the future, if you want to be polite, she will kick her nose in the face." Zhou Shirui once again lost face at the banquet, and Mrs. Zhou didn't take her with her when she went out to socialize after that.
Yuxi smiled: "I know. "In the future, the social circle will become wider and wider, and the people I meet will be all kinds of people. However, it's good to get used to it.
Back at the Guogong Mansion, Han Jianming said to her: "Yuxi, you are different from before now, if someone bullies you, don't swallow your anger, even if something happens, I will stand with your second brother." "Maybe it's because of the environment, Han Jianming feels that Yuxi is too tolerant. There was no way before, but now he doesn't want to see Yuxi like this again.
Yuxi didn't know why Han Jianming said this, but such a common sentence moved her to tears: "Big brother, don't worry, I won't be bullied." ”
Han Jianye saw Yuxi crying, and thought that she had suffered some grievances in the Zhou family: "Tell the second brother, who bullied you? ”
Han Jianming touched Yuxi's head and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what are you crying about, it's cold outside, hurry back to the house!" Yuxi cried because of her words, indicating that this child had suffered too many grievances before. But thinking about the third uncle's attitude towards Yuxi, you can understand it.
After Yuxi left, Han Jianye was still angry: "That girl is too, she doesn't say anything if she is wronged, how can she not be bullied like this." ”
Han Jianming looked at Yuxi's back and said softly: "There are some grievances, and there is no way to say it." "There are parents all over the world, even if the third uncle is excessive, Yuxi can't say it. If you say it, not only will you not be sympathetic, but you will be considered unfilial. Fortunately, there is no need to suffer such grievances in the future.
On the way back, Yuxi ran into Han Jingyan. This is the first time that the father and daughter have met since the fall out in Zhuangzi, and it is still in this situation.
Yuxi bowed down and shouted, "Third uncle." "It's much easier to call the third uncle than to call the father. And this third uncle shouted, Yuxi couldn't say it easily.
Han Jingyan was a little harsh when he heard this, nodded slightly, and left with the little servant without saying anything. At this point, it is superfluous to say anything, and it is better to say nothing at all. In his life, he should have never given birth to this daughter.
Zi Su looked at Yuxi standing in place, looking at the place where the third master left, and was a little worried: "Girl, the third master has left, we should go back too." ”
Yuxi said in the direction of Han Jingyan's departure: "It's all over, don't worry about it anymore." Before, she had always been worried that Han Jingyan would push her into the fire pit again for the sake of profit, but now, she no longer has to worry about it.
Zi Su thought that Yuxi was saying that he would not have to worry about being scolded by Han Jingyan in the future, so he nodded and said, "Yes! In the future, the girl will no longer have to be wronged. ”
Yuxi nodded, and suddenly turned his pen: "Zisu, you are also nineteen years old this year, and it is time to decide on a lifelong event." It's just right to get married now and get married next year. Otherwise, it will be too late. ”
Zi Su blushed a little and said, "Girl, I have been guarding the girl all my life and will not go anywhere." ”
Yuxi didn't want to let Zisu mean: "Zisu, I know what you're worried about." Your father is your father, and your father's kind of doesn't mean your future husband either. "It would be nice if Shiso could stay with her and not leave, but she can't be so selfish. If a woman does not marry, does not have her own family and children, she will eventually have shortcomings.
Zi Su knew that she couldn't understand Yuxi, and she was also thinking about this question recently: "Girl, if you really want to find someone for me, just look for it in the mansion! After getting married, I will go back to the girl to serve." "After getting married, you can come back and be a housekeeper's daughter-in-law.
Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes." "As long as Shisu loosens his mouth and agrees to marry.
