Chapter 160 New Year's New Atmosphere

From the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, it began to snow heavily. It snowed heavily for two days and two nights. The roofs, trees, and roads were all covered with a thick layer of snow.

Zisu came in with water to wash Yuxi's face, put down the towel and said, "Fortunately, I'm back home. If I were in the country, I don't know how to live!" In such a cold day, without earthworms, the girl had to lie in bed all day long up.

After washing her face, Yuxi sat in front of the dressing table and said: "The people in Zhuangzi have passed year after year, so why can't I pass it." In that situation, I can pass it no matter what.

Zisu said: "How can they compare with girls!" Her girls are beautiful and precious, and the ordinary people in the village can't compare.

Yuxi took a hairpin inlaid with huge pearls and stuck it on her head, and said: "There is nothing comparable, regardless of identity, they are all the same." How many eunuch families, once in trouble, are not as good as ordinary people Woolen cloth!

Zi Su would not be so stupid as to argue with Yu Xi about this.

The news of Yuxi's adoptiveness to Dafang has been revealed a long time ago, and everyone who should know knows it. So Yuxi went to visit relatives, and received nearly double the New Year's money than before.

On the third day of junior high school, I went to Zhou's family to pay New Year's greetings, and Mrs. Zhou's family and Mrs. Zhou both gave a thick red envelope. Yuxi is not as excited as she was when she was a child to receive red envelopes now. He just showed a decent smile and thanked the two elders.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhou Shiya took Yuxi back to her yard. As soon as she entered the room, Zhou Shiya grabbed Yuxi's arm and asked: "Yuxi, I heard that Mrs. Chen has taken a fancy to you and wants to betroth you to Chen Ran. She has already proposed marriage to the Han family. Is this true? "Zhou Shiya also heard what her mother said this morning. She couldn't believe it no matter what, but her mother would not lie to her with such a thing. Therefore, Zhou Shiya urgently needs Yuxi's answer.

Yu Xi said in surprise: "Who is talking nonsense? Who is Chen Ran? He was Jie Yuan in the provincial examination last year. How can I be worthy?" Telling Zhou Shiya is equivalent to telling Mrs. Zhou, so many things are more secretive. Yu Xi would not tell Zhou Shiya anything. It's not intentional concealment, but it's good for everyone.

Zhou Shiya didn't think that Yuxi was not good enough: "Why not? Isn't it just one Jieyuan? Not the number one." After a provincial examination, there were more than twenty Jieyuan, and if there were too many, it would be worthless. However, there is only one champion, and it is quite valuable. But it's not too rare to talk about it, after all, the number one scholar is only once every three years.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's not like you don't know my reputation. Do you think Mrs. Chen can let her son marry a wife like me who has a bad luck?"

Zhou Shiya laughed and said angrily: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Mrs. Pu Yuan said that you are not a bad luck, who would say that you are a bad luck?"

Yu Xi was stunned: "When did it happen? Why don't I know?"

Looking at Yuxi's appearance, Zhou Shiya confirmed that she really didn't know: "It happened at the end of last year. When the Duke's Mansion released the news, many people didn't believe it. Later, the master in charge of Lingshan Temple came forward to confirm that Master Puyuan It is true that you are not born with a bad luck. When the master in charge said this, several wives were there! Therefore, people have no choice but to believe it."

Yuxi blinked her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mother and elder brother didn't tell me. If you don't tell me, I'm still in the dark." Without this reputation, even if she rejects the Chen family, she can easily It is easy to find other good people.

Zhou Shiya said: "Yuxi, I think what my mother said is not groundless. You see, your status is different from before. You are smart, capable, and beautiful. Where can you find such a good girl. Mrs. Chen It's not surprising to see you."

Yuxi said cheerfully: "Stop boasting, if you praise again, I will float to the sky." However, with her current conditions, the scope of selection is indeed much larger.

It's not that she is boasting, except for princes and grandchildren, as far as her status and what she knows, she can marry anyone.

Zhou Shiya said with a sullen face: "You don't know. When my mother told me about this, she poked my head and said I was worthless. She also said that if I was half as capable as you, she didn't have to worry about it." It's over." Hearing what my mother said, I felt a burst of frustration in my heart!

Yuxi laughed: "Your mother said that to stimulate you and let you learn needlework well. In your mother's heart, naturally her daughter is the best."

Zhou Shiya's maid came in and said, "Girl, eighth girl is here."

Yuxi was a little strange, and asked: "Why did she come here?" Yuxi and the eighth girl, Zhou Shirui, only had superficial affection, and they hadn't had much contact in private.

Zhou Shiya smiled and said: "I guess I came to look for you. My concubine sister has always been good at studying, and you are probably her goal now!" The Duke's daughter, and she is also loved by the Duke's wife and two brothers. For a daughter-in-law, this amount is many times higher than that of a third-bedroom daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Zhou is very capable, and her mother's family is strong. The aunts are suppressed and dare not move, and the other sons and daughters are honest and dare not show their heads. However, Zhou Shirui is the concubine's daughter of the eldest family, and does not belong to Mrs. Zhou's jurisdiction.

Yuxi laughed lightly: "Forget it, what is the goal of struggle, I can't help it." If she was not forced to be helpless, she would not be willing to adopt him.

Zhou Shiya shook her head and said, "I know, but they don't know. They only know that Yuxi is especially loved by the Duke's wife and the Shizi, and they think you are very resourceful."

After Zhou Shirui came in, she was very enthusiastic, praising Yuxi from head to foot, and praising Yuxi like a fairy in the sky.

In order to make her life better, there is nothing wrong with flattering and fawning on her. Yuxi also tried to please Yuchen before. But Zhou Shirui's behavior was too blatant, not to mention Yuxi, Zhou Shiya couldn't stand it anymore: "Yuxi, didn't you just say that you wanted to go back with the first and second cousins? Let's go!" I lost my face.

Yuxi was used to sitting on the bench, and it was really hard for Zhou Shirui who was so enthusiastic. After hearing Zhou Shiya's words, she immediately stood up. But before she could speak, Zhou Shirui stood up and said, "Cousin, let me go with you!"

Yuxi is a guest, so there are some things that are difficult to say. Zhou Shiya was not polite, and said: "I have something to say to Yuxi, it's not good for others to listen. If you want to talk to Yuxi, wait until next time!" It's not that Zhou Shiya doesn't show affection, it's that Zhou Shirui is too cheeky. If she didn't say it so bluntly, she wouldn't leave at all.

Seeing that Yuxi didn't speak, Zhou Shirui left with an ugly expression.

Zhou Shiya led Yuxi to Mrs. Zhou's yard, and said as she walked, "You don't have to be polite when you meet her in the future. If you want to be polite, she will kick her nose in the face." Zhou Shirui once again lost face at the banquet. Afterwards, Madam didn't take her when she went out to socialize.

Yuxi smiled and said: "I see." In the future, the social circle will become wider and wider, and the people you will meet will be of all kinds. But just get used to it.

Back at the Duke's Mansion, Han Jianming said to her, "Yuxi, you are different now. If someone bullies you, don't swallow your anger; even if something happens, I will stand up to you with your second brother." Maybe it was Due to environmental reasons, Han Jianming felt that Yuxi was too tolerant. There was no way to do it before, but now he doesn't want to see Yu Xi like this again.

Yuxi didn't know why Han Jianming said that, but such an ordinary sentence moved her to tears: "Brother, don't worry, I won't be bullied."

Seeing Yuxi crying, Han Jianye thought she had been wronged in Zhou's house: "Tell my second brother, who bullied you? Second brother will vent your anger on you."

Han Jianming touched Yuxi's head, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, why are you crying? It's cold outside, so go back to the house!" Yuxi cried because of her words, which showed that the child had been wronged too much before. Too much. But thinking about Uncle San's attitude towards Yuxi, I can understand it.

After Yuxi left, Han Jianye still looked sullen: "That girl is too, she doesn't say anything when she is wronged, how can she not be bullied like this."

Han Jianming looked at Yu Xi's back, and said softly: "There is some grievance, there is no way to say it." There is no wrong parent in the world, even if the third uncle goes too far, Yu Xi can't say it. Having said that, not only will you not be sympathized, but you will be considered unfilial. Fortunately, I don't have to be wronged like this in the future.

On the way back, Yuxi ran into Han Jingyan. This is the first time the father and daughter have met since their falling out on Zhuangzi, and it is still in this situation.

Yuxi bowed and saluted, and called: "Third Uncle." It was much easier to call Third Uncle than Father. And this third uncle called out, Yu Xi couldn't express the ease.

Han Jingyan heard it harshly, nodded his head slightly, and took the boy away without saying anything. At this point, saying anything is superfluous, it is better not to say anything. In his life, he had never given birth to this daughter.

Zisu looked at Yuxi standing still, looking at the place where the third master left, feeling a little worried: "Girl, the third master has already left, we should go back too."

But Yuxi said in the direction of Han Jingyan's departure: "It's all over, don't worry anymore." Before, she was always worried that Han Jingyan would push her into the fire pit again for profit, but now, she no longer has to worry up.

Zisu thought that Yuxi was saying that she would no longer have to worry about being scolded by Han Jingyan, so she nodded and said, "Yes! It's all over. From now on, the girl will not have to be wronged."

Yuxi nodded, and suddenly changed her writing: "Zisu, you are also nineteen years old this year, and the major events in your life should be settled. It's just right to decide on the marriage now and get married next year. Otherwise, it will be too late."

Zisu blushed a little, and said, "Girl, I've been guarding her all my life, and I won't go anywhere."

But Yuxi was unwilling to follow Zisu's meaning: "Zisu, I know what you are worried about. Your father is your father, and your father does not mean that your future husband is the same." If Zisu can stay by her side It's good not to leave, but she can't be so selfish. If a woman does not marry and does not have her own family and children, she will eventually have shortcomings.

Zisu knew that she couldn't understand Yuxi, and she was also thinking about this question recently: "Girl, if you really want to find someone for me, you can look for it in the mansion! After I get married, I will return to the girl's side to serve you." In the future, you can come back and be a steward's daughter-in-law.

Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes." As long as Zisu lets go and agrees to marry, it will be done. (to be continued)
