Chapter 3 Decisions
With a creaking sound, Nuannuan, the little girl sitting in the yard catching a sheep, immediately looked over.
"Young Master, why are you coming out?" She said uneasyly, and was about to come over to support her.
This was the little girl that Guo Huaichun specially distributed to the Xue family's mother and son. He originally wanted to give many servants, but Xue's mother did not want it. She didn't know whether she was guilty or wanted to maintain her dignity. In the end, she only accepted one little girl and made a errand to pass the message.
The mother and son have food and clothing in the Guo Mansion, and there is nothing to do.
This little girl is eight years old this year and is smart. She has been serving tea and water in front of her bed these two days and feeding her medicine Zhou Dao, not lazy or slick at all. Xue Qing is very satisfied.
She did not refuse Nuannuan's support.
"I'm fine, I'm so bored that I'm a little moldy, go out for a walk," she said.
It has been four days since I woke up. Xue Qing could walk down the ground and move freely, but she hadn't left the house yet.
Since she woke up, the Guo family sent people to visit each room to express their feelings, no one came again, and it was still pure.
"Then don't go far," Nuannuan said, thinking for a while, "We go to the small garden, but there's nothing fun."
The small garden is naturally the small garden of the Guo family's mansion. It is located in the north attic, remote and small, and the people in the Guo family's mansion basically do not come here.
Xue Qing stroked Nuannuan's head and said ok. She just found a quiet place to sit down and think about things... She was always a little bored in this room.
This small garden is indeed small, but it is beautifully repaired. Nuannuan put a cushion on the bluestone among the flowers and trees and sat down with Xue Qing.
Xue Qing waved her hand and asked her to play on her own. Nuannuan was not polite. Perhaps she had not been taught how to be a maid yet, or perhaps she did not treat the Xue family's mother and son as serious masters. The little girl said, "Young Master, if you have something to do, I will squat on the side and continue playing with catching sheep."
The early spring wind is a little chilling, which makes people sober, especially the air is very fresh. Although the flowers and trees have not sprouted yet, the dense branches surround her with a different kind of tranquility.
Xue Qing took a deep breath and sighed softly.
Although I am very reluctant, since I have come here, I have to face the reality and think about how to live.
First of all, the marriage with Miss Guo must be resolved. Even though Cui said so many difficulties, it is not a reason to delay a woman.
As for the Guo family, it doesn’t matter if they can’t live in this way, people always rely on their own.
Just what kind of business should I do?
Xue Qing frowned. The business she learned was really useless here. And since she had the chance to do it again, she was living a different life.
What kind of business could a woman do in ancient times? It seems inconvenient...
Thinking of this, she raised her eyebrows again and looked down at herself. Now she is not a woman, she is a man.
This is easy to deal with. At worst, she can pretend to be a man for the rest of her life, and she can't do it. As long as she doesn't get married... Anyway, she didn't want to get married in ancient times.
From this point of view, Cui's absurdity is a good thing.
Xue Qing couldn't help but reach out and patted his leg.
"Hey, who is hiding here?"
An exclamation came from the flowers and trees in front of them, and two women looked over at the same time.
Only then did Xue Qing see someone coming over at some point, because he was fascinated by the thoughts, and no one noticed anyone.
These were two girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, one of whom had red and swollen eyes and had obviously cried.
Xue Qing did not recognize them, but these two girls recognized him.
"It's Mr. Xue." One of them said.
Xue Qing recognized that this was the usual dress of the Guo girls... These days, I saw many girls who came to visit by the bed.
Xue Qing smiled at them and nodded as a response... She wasn't so scared to be a girl.
The two girls looked at her without saying anything. They winked each other and walked away, with unconcealed disgust in their expressions and behaviors.
I believe that no one in the Guo family likes her except Mr. Guo.
It is still doubtful whether Mr. Guo likes her or not.
Xue Qing didn't care. She had decided that something would be considered a gain today. Next, she wanted to understand the world, so she stood up to look for Nuannuan.
The two girls did not walk far away, standing under a tree and watching Xue Qing walking away.
"It looks like I'm going to die." A girl said with dissatisfaction. "This is not a good thing, I'm pretending on purpose, which made Young Master Zian beaten like that, and the second wife cried like something."
Another girl sniffed her nose and remembered her sad things.
"It's all because of him, and the second wife doesn't care about my business anymore." She said, "Mrs. originally promised me that she would find a good family for me."
"It was this opportunity that Gu's wife took the kiss. I heard her tell Mom Song that you girls didn't care about Young Master Zi'an, so the wife wanted to send you out. That Gu's wife took the opportunity to beg you for her lame son." The previous girl whispered.
The girl immediately burst into tears.
"Sister A Cai, what should I do?" she cried.
Called A Cai, he quickly patted her shoulder, and his eyes fell on Xue Qing, who was walking slowly with the little girl over there.
Because of illness, Xue Qing wore a thick winter robe, which looked bloated and shabby... In the words of Young Master Zi'an, this was a pool of mud. The mud not only touched the eldest lady, but also caused them to have a bad life.
It will definitely be a great achievement for everyone to get rid of such mud.
"There is a way," she said, her eyes flashing, "Gouzi took the opportunity to show her loyalty to the second wife, Wenzhu, you can do it too."
The girl called Wenzhu looked at her in tears.
A Cai hugged her shoulder and whispered to her. Wen Zhu's expression was surprised and then thoughtful.
.........
Xue Qing didn't know that the two little girls were plotting against her behind her back, so she helped Nuannuan back home. Cui had already returned and brought back a bunch of gifts.
She went to thank the people from the Guo family who came to visit Xue Qing a few days ago.
"The second and third ladies and the others apologized again and again." Cui said, comparing a piece of cloth on Xue Qing, "and said that when the two young masters finished the punishment, they came to apologize to you in person."
Xue Qing smiled and refused to say anything.
"...I know they were saying polite words, meaning that I would come forward and tell the master, let's just go through this matter." Cui continued.
He doesn't just cry. This woman is weak but has the cunning of the lower class.
Xue Qing smiled, and nodded in her heart.
"That's right," she said, "but my mother said it was not appropriate, so let me go."
Cui looked at her a little surprised.
"Aren't you very afraid of seeing the master?" she asked, hesitating a little, "I'll go, so you won't..."
Exposed.
Xue Qing took the cloth from her hand and put it down.
"This time the master is so angry. If I don't thank me personally, I'm sorry for his value." She said, "I went there myself and took the initiative to turn wars with Miss Guo and the two young masters into jade. It is also a good thing for me, and everyone will get along better in the future."
However, Cui was a little relieved by this principle. In the past, Xue Qing was timid and afraid of things. Even Mr. Guo had never dared to meet him for a few times. He just hid at home every day. He was so sensible after suffering once.
"Okay, I'll ask Manager Wu and go with you when you find a convenience." She said.
Xue Qing nodded with a smile.
Taking advantage of the freshness of Mr. Guo's love for the old people, he would be more tolerant of the ridiculous things of their mother and daughter. Otherwise, over time, the relationship will fade and be left with shame and anger, it will be difficult to deal with.
