Tian Mansion is a well-known family on the ground in Shuixi, and it is very easy to find.
Mother Xue asked the passers-by with Shui Wu, and easily asked where the Tian Mansion was. The gatekeeper of the Tian Mansion, Ding, heard that they were relatives of Steward Xie's family, so he didn't dare to neglect them, so he quickly invited them into the concierge. After brewing two cups of crude tea and serving them, I went in to report.
Shui Wu sat in the porter's room, feeling very uneasy. For brother Xiaofeng, her impression still stays at the age of twelve or thirteen. At that time, brother Xiaofeng was studying with the young master, and when he was free, he would take her out of the house to play together. After so many years, both of them have grown up , but I don't know what he has become.
If she had never met Ye Xiaotian before, Shui Wu would inevitably be shy and expectant at this time, because what she is about to meet is her husband who will be with her for the rest of her life.
Her mother would never let her marry Ye Xiaotian, could she disobey her mother's order? The mother stubbornly regards Ye Xiaotian as an enemy, but that is obviously her benefactor, how should she deal with herself when she is caught in the middle
When Shui Wu was hurting herself in distress, tangled and helpless, a young man in green robe came to the gatehouse with two servants. As soon as he entered the door, Shui Wu felt that this person was a little familiar. A bit of the shadow of Xie Chuanfeng back then, but after all, he has grown up and the changes are not small.
Xie Chuanfeng walked into the concierge very impatiently. His father had asked someone to send letters from home several times, urging him to go home and get married, but Xie Chuanfeng refused on the grounds that the Tianfu was too busy. When he arrived on the surface of Shuixi, he became the steward of the Tianfu, with a high status and a high level of vision. Xie Chuanfeng no longer thinks highly of the Xue family, who was also a servant.
In his impression, Xue Shuiwu was the yellow-haired girl who was playing with behind his buttocks, but she was not outstanding at all. There are plenty of pretty girls in this Tianfu. He has been a third-manager at a young age, and has a bright future. I don't know how many pretty girls take the initiative to wink at him, and worry about not being able to find a wife
Now that Xie Chuanfeng was very disgusted when he heard that Xue's mother brought the girl to come to the door, but the two families are family friends after all, so it's hard to be too unfeeling. He walked all the way, still thinking about how to reject this marriage, But when he entered the concierge and took a glance, his eyes suddenly lit up.
There was only such a young girl in the concierge, naturally she was Shui Wu. This is really the 18th female college change. I haven't seen her in a few years, but she looks so beautiful. Not to mention, there are not many girls in the mansion who are prettier than her. Although it is true, they are all young ladies. The people around you are high-minded and high-sighted.
Furthermore, once the young lady gets married, they will be the people around the young lady, and they will follow the young lady to marry and become a housekeeper, so there is no one he can get his hands on. But even if those maidservants were not inferior in appearance to Shui Wu, their temperament was still inferior. Both of them were maids who waited on people. How come Shuiwu has an elegant and refined temperament when she stops here, she is clearly a lady of everyone.
Xie Chuanfeng saw Xue's mother again in a blink of an eye, and his original impatience disappeared completely. He greeted Xue's mother with a smile on his face, saluted Xue's mother, and said affectionately: "Mother, I am Chuanfeng, we haven't seen each other for many years La."
Mother Xue stood up happily and looked Xie Chuanfeng up and down. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. Mother Xue smiled and said, "Your child, although you and Wu'er are not married yet, you are engaged after all. Why are you still called Da Niang?" Wu, hurry up and meet your brother Chuanfeng."
Shui Wu bravely stepped forward, saluted Xie Chuanfeng, and said, "Brother Xiaofeng."
Xie Chuanfeng liked Xue Shuiwu more and more, and quickly said courteously: "Ma'am... ah no, mother-in-law, hehe, Sister Shuiwu, you have come from a long way, it is really hard work, come here, come to my residence to rest for a while , I will arrange accommodation for you.”
Xie Chuanfeng led Xue Mu and Shui Wu to his residence, and the two servants he brought naturally took over Shui Wu and Xue Mu's burdens and sent them off courteously all the way.
Tian Mansion covers an area of 300 mu. With such a huge house, Xie Chuanfeng, who is the third steward, naturally has a place for him. There is a secluded small courtyard on the left side of the third courtyard, which is Xie Chuanfeng's residence. It is actually a detached courtyard. Son, once you enter the three-room house.
Xie Chuanfeng ordered the two servants, "Go, clean up the east wing." Then he invited Xue Mu and Shui Wu to the main hall, served tea, and the two sides sat down to talk.
Xue's mother did not say a few words before explaining her purpose of taking Shui Wu to Shuixi: "My son-in-law, I came to Shuixi this time because of your father-in-law's life lawsuit. You are very familiar in Shuixi. There are a lot of people, so I need to help the old man more. Wuer is not too young, and when this matter is over, you and the old man will go back to Tongren, just in time for the two of you to get married."
Shui Wu couldn't help but said: "Mother, my daughter has endured it for a long time, and I really can't take it any longer. Our Xue family can't take revenge. Brother Xiaotian is my big benefactor, not our family's big enemy, mother! You... you Tell your daughter how to tell you to understand, why are you so confused?"
Mother Xue's embellished words to Xu Boyi and Li Qiuchi contained real feelings as well as imaginary scenes, but after saying it twice, she herself took it seriously. At this time, when she heard Shui Wu's rebuttal again, she couldn't help being furious , jumped up and scolded: "You disobedient and unfilial girl, you have been blinded by lard, and you don't want to avenge your own father's blood and blood, and you are still protecting that little beast."
Xie Chuanfeng is very fond of this little daughter-in-law now, so he is not willing to let his mother-in-law scold her like this, so he quickly persuaded him: "Mr.
Mother Xue regards him as her reliance now, but she is very obedient, so she sat down angrily, and Shui Wu shed tears and told how Ye Xiaotian escorted her away from Jingzhou and went back to Shuixi after all the hardships. .
She was afraid that Xie Chuanfeng would have other ideas, and that a girl would be embarrassed to tell Ye Xiaotian's pursuit of her all the way to her fiancé, so she omitted this part.
Xue's mother sat aside and said angrily: "In this world, where can you find such a heroic and courageous person? He escorted you back to Tongren, and he had no good intentions in the first place. What kindness is there to thank? He knows that you already have a husband's family. But you asked our family to marry, and your father refused, so he killed people with hatred, isn't it like this?"
Xie Chuanfeng was able to become the third steward of the Tianfu at a young age, so he naturally had a delicate heart, a very shrewd person, because some things were hastily omitted in Shuiwu's narration, it seemed that he was hesitating when he heard it. It's not true, after listening to Mother Xue's words, her face immediately turned ugly.
Xie Chuanfeng thought: "Traveling thousands of miles, if you say that the road is uneven, it really doesn't make sense. They are lonely, maybe something happened on the road? Otherwise, why did Ye Xiaotian work so hard? If they had no personal relationship, they would have to go to Xue At home, why did he ask for marriage? Uncle Xue confessed that he died at the hands of Ye Xiaotian, why is she still so partial to Ye Xiaotian?"
The most important thing in a man's family is his wife's reputation. If she is a concubine and a prostitute, what she appreciates is her beauty, and what she wants is a plaything. Before that, she didn't care much whether she was a pillow with a pair of jade arms and thousands of people, or a little bit of red lips. Yes, but my wife is different. Even if she is a fairy, once she hears that someone else has taken the top spot, she will be worthless immediately.
Xie Chuanfeng's face was gloomy. Seeing Shui Wu arguing with her mother and protecting that surnamed Ye very much, his mood became worse and worse. After a long while, Xie Chuanfeng couldn't bear it anymore, finally he stood up abruptly, and said with a serious face: "Madam, Shui Wu, since Li Dazhuang has agreed to take over, then Ye Xiaotian is guilty and innocent, and the government will decide. You two should not quarrel!"
Mother Xue glared at her daughter angrily, and said angrily, "Go out and help tidy up in the East Chamber, and I will talk to my son-in-law!"
Mother Xue drove her daughter out of the living room, and said to Xie Chuanfeng: "My son-in-law, this is really a big girl. After this time, you two should get married as soon as possible. I will give her to you, and I will feel relieved. "
Xie Chuanfeng's face was gloomy, and he said in a strange way: "Auntie, you are relieved, but I am not relieved."
Mother Xue was stunned, and wondered: "What is there to worry about, my son-in-law?"
Xie Chuanfeng smiled coldly, and said: "The one surnamed Ye sent you off thousands of miles away. I don't know what happened to the lonely man and widow. As soon as he arrived at your house, the one surnamed Ye asked for marriage. Shui Wu is so partial. I have even abandoned my father's hatred, aunt! Although my surname Xie is not a noble person, if you want to marry a wife, you must be from a clean family and a clean body."
Xue's mother became anxious when she heard this, and immediately defended her daughter: "Shui Wu knew the book and answered the etiquette from an early age, so there is no reason for not keeping the name. If you say that, my son-in-law, you have wronged him."
Xue's mother has always been honest and dull. It is precisely because of this character that she became paranoid after being stimulated by her husband's murder. She sometimes loses her mind, but she still loves her daughter in the bottom of her heart. Naturally, she does not want her daughter's reputation to be damaged. It's just that her mind is not very clear, and her words are confused, otherwise she would not have thought about what she said just now, which would arouse suspicion.
Xie Chuanfeng said: "Auntie, that's what you say, but who doesn't love their children? Of course you can guarantee for Shuiwu, but if there is something really, hehe, I, Xie Chuanfeng, can be considered a respectable person here, I can't lose I'm sorry for that man."
Mother Xue trembled with anger, and said: "You child, how could you humiliate my daughter like this, my daughter, I know best, she is not an unruly person!"
Xie Chuanfeng shook his head, and said lightly: "Ma'am, your two families have always been on good terms. Because of this friendship, I will not drive you out. You can just stay here and talk about other things later."
Mother Xue said urgently: "What do you mean we'll talk about it later, what about your marriage with Shui Wu?"
Xie Chuanfeng said impatiently: "Didn't I talk about it later?" After finishing speaking, she walked away, Xue's mother's paranoid energy came up again, and she grabbed him and said, "No, you can make it clear now, you How about the marriage with Shui Wu?"
Xie Chuanfeng shook off Xue's mother's hand, and said angrily: "Don't get entangled, okay? Do you want me to marry your daughter? Yes! Then let her be my bridal chamber first. If she is still a virgin, I will marry her as my wife." .If not, hehe! I accept her as a little girl because of the good relationship between the two families."
Xue's mother said: "Success! Then you should bridal chamber first, and then get married! My daughter, I know in my heart, she will never disgrace my Xue family."
Xue Shuiwu didn't go far after leaving the living room, for fear that her mother would say something slandering Ye Xiaotian again, but she didn't want to hear such absurd conversation, Xue Shuiwu was furious, stepped in from the door, and said loudly: " I disagree!"
Xie Chuanfeng stared at her, and sneered at Mother Xue: "How is it? Your daughter, you should teach her."
Xue's mother was furious, rushed over and slapped again, and cursed viciously: "You girl is really infatuated, why can't you do it? This is a chance to prove your innocence. Would you rather stain your reputation and lift your name from now on?" Can't start being a man?"
Shui Wu didn't dodge, she looked sadly at her mother who had gone mad, and said with tears: "Mother! It's not me, but you who is obsessed with ghosts! You agree to such absurd conditions, and who do you think your daughter is?" gone?"
Mother Xue said angrily: "Who? Who are you talking about? As long as you enter the bridal chamber, won't it prove your innocence? You girl, why are you so entangled?"
Shui Wu said in a trembling voice: "Mother, daughter... My daughter and your old man, I really can't explain clearly. My daughter feels so bitter, so bitter, do you know that?"
Shui Wu backed out of the door while talking. When she entered the yard just now, she saw a well in the yard, and she exited the door. Shui Wu suddenly turned around and went straight to the well. Without even thinking about it, she jumped and jumped. down. Mother Xue was stunned for a moment, and yelled frantically: "Hurry up and save people! Hurry up and save people, my daughter has jumped into a well!"
Xie Chuanfeng was also startled when he saw it, and quickly called the two servants who were cleaning the east wing, and hurriedly fished Shui Wu out of the well. Shui Wu was already drowning and suffocating, everyone tried to save her, before Shui Wu spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and gradually breathed. Seeing this, Xie Chuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Wu woke up leisurely, opened her eyes weakly, and saw Xie Chuanfeng sneered, and said to her mother with disdain: "Look, if she wasn't guilty and timid, how could she commit suicide by jumping into a well? Hey! Your good daughter Ah, you want to get married to my Xie family? Sorry, I'm not sensitive to thank you."
Hearing this, Shui Wu felt a surge of qi and blood, and spat out a mouthful of blood "wow". Xue's mother was about to argue with Xie Chuanfeng when she suddenly saw her daughter vomiting blood, she couldn't help being shocked, she squatted down hurriedly, and held her cold chest Hand said: "Daughter, what's wrong with you? Daughter?"
Shui Wu opened a pair of empty and lifeless eyes, as if she was looking at her mother, and seemed to see nothing, she just murmured to herself: "Mother, please show kindness, let me die, let me die ..." Two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of her eyes slowly...
