Chapter 1454 Shangyuan Lantern Festival (2)
The streets of Shangyuan Festival were very lively, but at this moment, the Xu Mansion seemed particularly deserted. Because the master and three ladies went to the palace to attend the lantern festival, a considerable number of maids needed to be served, and some young maids went out to the streets to play together, so only a small number of elderly maids stayed in the mansion.
With no popularity in the mansion, Wang Cuiqiao suddenly felt that the bright moon in the sky became colder. She wandered in the yard for a long time and took out a jade flute and played it quietly. Perhaps it was touching the scene and the song played was as cold as the moonlight. She felt more and more depressed. So she put down the jade flute and sighed, "The dust is leaning against the Cui Qiao, and the jade flowers bloom and fall. The wind falls on Kunlun Mountain, and the flute blows on the twenty-four bridges."
After Wang Cuiqiao finished singing, she looked at her lonely shadow under the moon and couldn't help but feel sad, her clear eyes turned slightly red.
Wang Cuiqiao has a peerless appearance and a sound of nature. Even though she is born in a fair and fair family, she rarely feels inferior and self-pity because of her own background. But at this moment she is inferior and self-pity. Xie Xiaowan, Fei Ruyi, Fei Jixiang and Xue Bingxin are both destined wives. Among Xu Jin's women, she is still "white" and is also a kind brothel woman with a low status. Xie Xiaowan and the others can follow her husband to the palace to attend the lantern festival, but she does not have the qualifications and can only stay in the mansion alone.
Although he knew that his husband did not deliberately not take care of him, and even though he knew that his husband was really good to him and never looked down on him, Wang Cuiqiao still couldn't help feeling sad!
"What’s wrong with you?"
Wang Cuiqiao was just as Gu Lian was hurting himself, but a sudden sound came from behind her. She was startled and turned around and looked around. She saw Xue Bingxin appearing behind her at some point, wearing a white long dress, and she looked like a blooming Tianshan snow lotus under the moonlight. Although her temperament was still cold, her eyes clearly showed a hint of care.
Wang Cuiqiao felt warm inexplicably, and reluctantly smiled, "It turns out it's Sister Xue, it's nothing. But when he saw the moonlight was just right, he came out of the yard for some breath. By the way, Sister Xue didn't go into the palace with her husband?"
Xue Bingxin shook her head and said, "I don't like the excitement. What's so good about the lanterns and fireworks? Why not sit and practice at home? I just heard you play the flute and seemed unhappy. Did your husband leave you at home, so he was unhappy?"
Wang Cuiqiao shook her head quickly and said, "No, Sister Xue is too worried."
"I said no, my eyes were even red." Xue Bingxin said lightly.
Wang Cuiqiao lowered her head embarrassedly, Xue Bingxin sighed and comforted her tone: "I am the daughter of the anti-king. In fact, in terms of origin, I am not much higher than you."
"At least Sister Xue has an imperial decree." Wang Cuiqiao whispered.
Xue Bingxin raised her eyebrows and said contemptuously: "I don't have any imperial edicts. I care about my husband. If one day my husband treats me badly, or I lose my feelings for him, I will leave with my children and go to the free life of Xiaoaoan Mountains."
Wang Cuiqiao couldn't help but sweat secretly. She had heard that Xue Bingxin was the leader of a village, who was decisive in killing and protecting the people. She was nicknamed "Three Lady". She was unique in character and was as good as men. Now she finally learned it in person. She couldn't help but say enviously: "Sister Xue is a hero among girls. She is strong and independent. She can live a good life without a man, but Cuiqiao cannot. If she had no husband's care, she would have withered like the spring flowers."
Xue Bingxin shook her head and said, "I used to be very strong. I thought I could support my own sky, but when the sky was about to fall, I realized that I was so weak and helpless. It was my husband who supported the sky for me, and he became my sky from the beginning."
Xue Bingxin said, her pretty face turned slightly red, and her cold eyes became like spring water.
Seeing this, Wang Cuiqiao said in confusion: "Then Sister Xue said just now... she wanted to leave her husband?"
Xue Bingxin snorted and said, "That's two different things. When I'm old and deteriorated, if my husband treats me badly and loses love for me and I don't leave, will he stay and beg him for mercy?"
Wang Cuiqiao was speechless, and after a moment, he shook his head and said, "My husband doesn't know, he is not such a person."
Xue Bingxin smiled and said, "What else are you worried about? Sister Qiaoer is not a vulgar person. I believe you are the same as me. The reason why she married him is not because she is interested in his status, but because she is himself, right? I believe in my own eyes, what about you?"
Only then did Wang Cuiqiao realize that Xue Bingxin was actually trying to relieve herself after saying so much. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She nodded and smiled calmly: "Before returning to Beijing, my husband told Qiaoer that Sister Xue is a kind woman with a cold face and heart, and now Qiaoer believes it."
Xue Bingxin snorted, "Or how could he get this bad guy?" After saying that, his pretty face turned red.
Wang Cuiqiao asked curiously: "I heard that Sister Xue and her husband were enemies but not friends, so how did you get along afterwards?"
Xue Bingxin's pretty face turned redder, and the past was hard to say. If it weren't for the intimate relationship, she and her husband would still be the enemy of life and death. The biggest possibility is that she was wiped out by her husband like Zhao Quan.
Seeing this, Wang Cuiqiao became even more curious and was about to continue asking questions. Xue Bingxin had already changed the topic in embarrassment and said, "Why are you the only one? Where is Xiao Zhu Xiaoju?"
Speaking of which, after Wang Cuiqiao moved into the Xu Mansion, Xie Xiaowan arranged two young maids to serve the former, the two maids were named Xiaozhu and Xiaoju. As for Wang Cuiqiao's original personal maid Qiu Yan, she had already married Erniu after the New Year, so naturally she could not continue to serve by her side.
Xiaozhu and Xiaoju are only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they are just playing. Today is the Chinese New Year. The young maids in the mansion went to the street to play. Naturally, they were also itchy and were distracted all night. Seeing this, Wang Cuiqiao simply took their leave. The two maids went out to play happily at that time, and they didn't know how to leave one person to serve their master.
When Xue Bingxin learned that Wang Cuiqiao was the only one in the yard at that time, she couldn't help but frown. Xiao Zhu and Xiaoju were young and didn't care about anything, but the mothers who were responsible for the night had also gone out of the wild. It was obvious that they were bullying Wang Cuiqiao for the first time, and even because of her background, it was outrageous. This matter must be mentioned to Sister Xiaowan, and they cannot be lenient in managing the family, and they have to be rectified.
Xue Bingxin made up her mind, led Wang Cuiqiao and walked out, saying, "Anyway, there is no one here, so let's sit in my yard. Everyone can relieve their fatigue and boredom when they talk."
Wang Cuiqiao naturally went with her happily!
As soon as they left the hospital, Xue Bingxin and Wang Cuiqiao stopped at the same time, looked up at the sky, and saw countless gorgeous lanterns rising from the imperial city. Both of them were stunned and stopped for a long time!
Xue Bingxin's heart moved and asked, "Have you ever been to the capital before?"
Wang Cuiqiao shook her head, and Xue Bingxin smiled and said, "The Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in Beijing is very lively, only once a year, so why don't we go to the streets too? If we miss this time, we have to wait for next year."
When Wang Cuiqiao heard this, hesitated and said, "It's just us? Is it okay?"
"Why can't it be? If we don't have a man to accompany us, we can't go out to the streets. Don't worry, although your sister Xue is not a top expert, she is still more than enough to protect you. Wait, I'll go back and change my clothes, and you'll also go back and add a thick dress, it's cold outside!" After Xue Bingxin said that, she went back to change her shirt with great enthusiasm.
