Chapter 77
I don’t know if Liu Xiangxiang is the noble person in Wang Muhuai’s life, or if the two people’s grievances are too deep, or if what the Taoist priest said is true, in short, 11-year-old Liu Xiangxiang once again became the benefactor of the Wang family, and successfully brought happiness to 9-year-old Wang Muhuai.
Wang Muhuai walked away behind closed doors and brought back two souvenirs: a few faint white pockmarks on his face, and a little daughter-in-law who was two years older than him.
At this time, the war was raging outside, and the guns had no eyes. A shell came over, destroying the Liu family's house and taking the lives of the old couple. The passionate eldest brother Liu Dayong ran to the Wang family in the capital to say goodbye to his younger brother.
My sister joined the army together with several neighbors of similar age.
From then on, Liu Xiangxiang, who was alone, began to count the new-style Western chime clock in the house every day to adjust her time in the morning and dusk, learn how to serve her parents-in-law, be demure and elegant, learn to smile without showing her teeth, and learn to needlework.
From that day on, Mrs. Wang began to strictly follow the ancient rituals to educate her daughter-in-law, who grew up in a civilian family. Therefore, in the following years, the two ignorant young men and women who were originally childhood sweethearts had fewer and fewer opportunities to meet. Mrs. Wang said
, men and women sit on different seats at the age of seven, not to mention that they still have this kind of relationship?
How could it be possible to feel the same when looking at a daughter and a daughter-in-law? The change in status makes Mrs. Wang more and more picky when it comes to Liu Xiangxiang. What is good for the superiors must be followed by the inferiors. The servants also follow suit. The contradiction is
From this moment on, they appeared one by one.
Liu Xiangxiang was just the daughter of a village healer. She was raised like a pampered child even at home, but compared with the Wang family, a wealthy family in the capital, she was not as good as the child of a respectable servant.
Lemon essences are everywhere in every era, and people are always poor and cheap. Why are you so lucky and become the young mistress of the Wang family?
Therefore, Liu Xiangxiang, who was disliked by her boss but had great luck, successfully attracted a large wave of negative fans.
Gradually, some people began to say in front of Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang that the young mistress was not the eldest young master’s noble person at all, but that the eldest young master was the eldest young mistress’ noble person.
The eldest young master was kidnapped, and Liu Xiangxiang changed from a village girl to a Miss Wang family.
The eldest young master suffered from smallpox, and Liu Xiangxiang rose from being a half-master to becoming the future owner of the Wang family's vast wealth.
Not to mention that the eldest young master is always the one who gains the most after many misfortunes. We, the Wang family, still have to be grateful to the poor Liu family.
You taste it, you taste it carefully.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she felt deeply convinced. From then on, Liu Xiangxiang gradually changed from being picky to being strict.
Liu Xiangxiang's status in the Wang family went from bad to worse, and she even became worse than some servants.
Long-term frustrating education and demeaning training made Liu Xiangxiang, who was already cautious, even more cowardly when she left her family and came to a strange place.
When Liu Xiangxiang was seventeen years old, the world became increasingly chaotic. The Wang family's village outside the city was occupied, and the truck transporting grain to the east was robbed. In the turbulent years, the Wang family, a wealthy family, was
It shrank from a large courtyard with three entrances and three spans to a three-unit courtyard with three entrances, and all the spans on both sides were sold to others.
Only one restaurant near the Dongyue Temple Market is still open for business, and the rest are sold and rented. Especially after the death of Mrs. Wang, the Wang family was in decline and gradually began to rely on pawning things to maintain expenses.
But face is still important.
The Wang family owns a rickshaw and seems to have a hand-cranked telephone at home. The eldest daughter, Wang Muxue, attends a girls' school founded by the church. When she comes home every week, she always sits half-lying lazily on the beige Italian leather sofa.
I was chatting on the phone with my classmates.
Mrs. Wang, who almost had to use a ruler to measure Liu Xiangxiang's walking, walking, sitting and lying down, would become selectively blind at this time. When the person talking on the phone was replaced by the second lady Wang Muchi, Mrs. Wang would curl her lips and point at Sang and scold Huai, saying that she was not enough.
dignified.
Because Mrs. Ru of the Wang family raised a colorful flag on the Qinhuai River when she was young, she seems to be quite famous.
Even though he was brought back to his family by Mr. Wang as a servant of the Qing Dynasty, he was still branded with a less than honorable background.
As for Liu Xiangxiang, she didn't even dare to touch the phone, fearing that her humbleness would desecrate such an advanced foreign gadget.
As soon as the "whistle bell" rings, someone will speak inside. It's really amazing.
Liu Xiangxiang was a bit dazzled by the rare things that kept being brought into Wang's house, such as the large box with a large speaker wrapped in a layer of wood in the corner. As long as the record in the middle was turned, different songs would sound.
What about radio? The eldest young man Wang Muhuai likes a female star. He will often pick up the phone and go to the radio station to request a song. After singing, he will ask the servants at home to give him a reward.
Mrs. Wang sat next to her with a smile and asked her son, "Does that woman look good? If you really like her, please come in."
Wang Muhuai frowned his beautiful thick eyebrows impatiently.
His mother has become more and more stupid in recent years. In her opinion, stars can't be compared to those little actors who can sing well. You can ask for it if you ask for it?
Liu Xiangxiang stood in the most inconspicuous corner wringing her fingers.
Every time Wang Muhuai appeared in the living room of the main house, she would try to hide out of sight of him if she couldn't avoid him.
Liu Xiangxiang no longer expected Wang Muhuai to marry her.
He wore a three-piece tailored suit, a navy blue tie with white spots, and always polished three-jointed lambskin shoes.
The Wang family did not treat her harshly when eating and dressing, but looking at her eight-piece long skirt and small coat, she thought about what the second young lady said to her before: "Look at you, you are lifeless and look older than my mother.
Are you worthy of my brother? Only Mistan is a good match for my brother!"
Mistan is the second lady's classmate. Her father runs a silk and satin shop, and her brother is a foreign comprador. Mistan also speaks a foreign language. When she and Wang Muhuai are together, they clap shoulders and hold hands. There seems to be no etiquette, but the wife never says anything.
This lady doesn't know the rules.
Liu Xiangxiang murmured and wanted to say, you can still treat me like Liu Xiangxiang before, or as a slave. She doesn't have to marry the young master, she knows she is not worthy.
She did not ask for this marriage.
But Liu Xiangxiang didn't dare.
Because at the father's insistence, their marriage was registered in the government office and received the dragon and phoenix invitation. Even though the emperor has issued an edict of abdication, the marriage has been transferred from the court office to the new government. The emperor
was annulled, their marriage was not.
Mr. Liu, who has passed away, would never have thought that the protection he sought for his daughter would end up costing his daughter's life.
No, no, there was no such thing as the house fight incident in which the wife was killed to seize the throne. Liu Xiangxiang worked hard as a daughter-in-law to be filial to her sick mother-in-law, and worked hard day and night to death.
Wang Muhuai really didn't do anything.
Now He Xiaoman has become Liu Xiangxiang. As long as she opens the door and walks out, the task will be completed.
Chapter completed!
