Xie Fu lit the lamp, and the room immediately became clear.
What kind of man is worthy of becoming the husband of Miss Xianting? Although the woman was shy, she still looked at Xie Fu with curiosity.
The moment their eyes met, the two said in unison, "It's you!"
It turned out that the woman in front of him was the woman who was buying bamboo dolls on the street with a child on her back. At that time, Xie Fu passed by and saw that it was already dark and the child was sleeping on her back. Her face was red from the cold, so he took all her
I bought the bamboo doll and asked her to send it to Taiping Primary School the next day, so that the girl could go home early.
Seeing that it was Fu Xie, the woman was surprised and happy, "My dear, it's you." After saying that, she knelt down to Fu Xie.
Xie Fu was stunned for a moment, when did I become your benefactor? He quickly got up and stepped forward, "Get up, get up..."
Just as his hand was about to touch the woman, he remembered the misunderstanding and retracted it. "Madam, please get up. I have something else to ask you."
The woman stood up and said, "Yes, my benefactor."
The last time I saw her on the street, she was wearing a cloth skirt and jade hairpin, and her face was stained. Now her skirt is lowered and her clothes are neat. She is actually a beautiful woman with an oval face and eyebrows, and a graceful and slender figure.
When the woman saw Xie Fu staring at her, she remembered being hugged by him on the couch just now, and a blush suddenly appeared on her white cheeks. My benefactor was so rude, why did he pay so much attention to me? How should I handle myself?
I think he married two beauties, Miss Xian Ting and Miss He Qing, so he must be a romantic man.
The beauty of this woman was the beauty of an courtesan even in the land of brothels. However, he had seen the beauty before, so he didn't feel too strongly about it. He asked, "Madam, why do you call me my benefactor?"
"My dear benefactor, have you forgotten that you bought all the bamboo dolls from my family?"
"I do remember this. Maybe everyone who buys bamboo dolls from you is your benefactor."
The woman's face turned red. If other men teased her like this, she would definitely scold him angrily.
"My benefactor didn't know that the slave family was hungry and cold that day and had no place to return. The child had not eaten for several days. At that time, the slave family had already thought that if there was really no way out, they would simply take the child and die."
Thank you Fu Qingya.
The woman continued, "Fortunately, my benefactor allowed me and my children to survive, and I mustered up the courage to continue to persevere. It is a blessing for my family to be reborn. Do you think I am my benefactor?"
Xie Fu didn't expect that his unintentional act actually saved two lives, so he chuckled, "It's just a business between you and me, not much of a favor."
"The slave family knows that our benefactor is willing to help, but they also want to preserve the dignity of the slave family."
Xie Fu chuckled, "It's nothing."
The woman added, "To be honest with my benefactor, my family has never seen such a nice person. At that time, I thought that my benefactor had ill intentions towards me."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "There is someone a hundred times better than me, but you just didn't meet him."
"Is your benefactor talking about Miss Xianting? Miss Xianting is indeed better than you, my benefactor."
Speaking of Xianting, Xie Fu remembered the main topic: "By the way, why are you here?"
"It was Miss Xianting who brought me into the house."
It turned out that the woman still took her child out to make a living during her monthly period. Unexpectedly, the coarse cloth and grass ash could not stop the blood and leaked out, making her dress covered with blood.
It happened that Xianting was passing by and saw a woman huddled motionless in a corner with a child on her back. He was very surprised, so he stepped forward to ask with concern.
I was surprised to learn that she took her children out to make a living during her monthly period. Generally speaking, no matter whether the family is poor or rich, women will stay at home these days.
Immediately, he took off his coat to help her cover up her ugliness, and took the woman back to Tantai Mansion.
When Xianting personally helped her remove the gray and bloody coarse cloth and replaced it with a clean red one, the woman couldn't stop crying.
Afterwards, he brought her food. When he saw that the child was sallow and thin, after asking, he found out that the woman was not well-nourished due to not having enough water and the child was not eating enough, so he went out to buy goat milk.
The woman realized herself and left after thanking her.
Xianting inquired and learned that she had nowhere to go, and persuaded the woman to stay in the mansion these days.
In Tantai Mansion, although the women were in their monthly period, they were particularly diligent and rushed to help Xianting with work. They often followed Xianting in the kitchen and even washed Xianting's clothes early in the cold winter.
Xiu'er originally had a lot of work, but Xiu'er had no work to do and was quite complaining.
Xianting often persuaded her, but women are very responsible and know how to live with others and eat from others. No matter how much work they do, it is appropriate.
After the monthly letter period, the woman used her small savings to buy some materials and spent a few nights to make a pair of climbing shoes for Xianting as a thank you.
Xianting accepted Dengyunlu and took the opportunity to persuade the woman to stay.
Thinking that she was alone with a child, the woman told Xianting that she could stay, but she couldn't live and eat for free, so let her be a slave.
Xian Ting smiled and did not agree, and just asked her to stay. In the evening, he sent her several clothes for children and adults.
The woman's eyes turned red and she burst into tears. She said that she would only leave one piece of clothing for the child and would not accept the rest no matter what.
In the end, it was Xianting who suggested that they become sisters, so that the sisters would not have to see each other. The woman finally accepted the clothes given by Xianting in her sister's name.
In the days that followed in Tantai Mansion, although the woman was not a slave, she regarded herself as a slave and wished she could do more work.
During the days when I was sick in Xianting, even Xiu'er, my personal maid, couldn't bear it, but she stayed by the bedside day and night, rarely sleeping.
Even Xianting herself said that it was great to recognize this sister. Even her biological mother had not been so kind to her.
In the following days, the relationship between the two became more and more intimate. The woman worked diligently to destroy Xiu'er. Anyway, as long as it was a matter of Xianting, she would pay attention to it, no matter how small it was.
There are some things about women that women are not allowed to talk about, but Xie Fu probably understood it. Xianting saw that this woman was an orphan and a widowed mother, so she was kind enough to take her in. How could she know that this woman was a very good character, and she developed a sister relationship with Xianting?
.
"My benefactor, Miss Xianting is really the kindest, gentlest and best woman in the world. You must cherish her. Even making her sad is a sinful thing."
Xie Fu chuckled and said, "Madam, Xianting is indeed very kind to you. I'll give you the room she lives in."
Xie Fu's words were just teasing, not sarcastic, but the woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, "My lord, please don't misunderstand me."
He explained, "I haven't lived in the house these days in Tianxian Ting. I was afraid that the house would be unoccupied for too long and it would lose its popularity, so I was asked to live here to cultivate my popularity."
The bedroom is a place where Qi gathers. You sit day and night, especially when the sun rises and the moon stays. It needs human Qi to nourish it. If no one lives in the house for too long, it will become gloomy.
When the woman said this, Xie Fu immediately knew Xianting's intentions and was always ready for his return.
The woman added, "Furthermore, Xianting said that I am bringing a child with me, and the child's pure Yang has no taboos and can..."
This woman is an important plot character. She is the introduction to the Chang'an Line. It's not what everyone thinks.
