Chapter 24 Let go of the red beads
"How can I not worry about life like you since you were a child? I am cautious every day for fear of offending people and being kicked out. Every time you treat me better, I feel more pitiful. I just want to live a stable life with a little Si in the future. But she didn't want to be taken advantage of by Master Kun. Aunt Wang promised to ask the old lady to ask me to be my aunt.
Su Ying looked at the tearful and sad look in front of her, but Su Ying couldn't soften her heart. Her life was destined, but the choice was made by herself. Even if you are really taken advantage of by Su Sikun, with your own protection, red beads and beauty, it's okay to find a good family.
But Hongzhu betrayed her sisters who have been treating her well for her future. No matter what, she is not worthy of sympathy. Su Ying said quietly, "Do you think it's worth it? If he cared about you, he wouldn't have pleaded for you just now. Marry such a person, even if you are rich, do you think you have a good life?
"He also vowed in the past, saying how much he liked me to do this. Aunt Wang is not good to him. He likes me, who is gentle and understanding, and he will definitely treat me well in the future. Unexpectedly, he lowered his head at the critical moment. Miss...Miss...I really know it's wrong, please, please give me another chance, miss!"
Hongzhu couldn't help but ignite hope again and climbed over to grab Su Ying's foot, but was blocked by Liu Er. Liu Er scolded disdainfully: "When you lit the fragrance, have you ever thought about the lady and the kindness to you. Now you still have the face to beg the young lady? How dare you to touch the young lady?"
Hongzhu couldn't help but be angry: "What right do you have to talk about me? Is it because others are polite to you or because you are Mother Zhao's granddaughter? Isn't that why Aunt Wang wants to ask the old lady to be your aunt? As soon as I come here, I have a face and think of you in everything. I'm not as good as you except that I was born. Don't you just rely on your family to have children? What's the big deal?
"Enough, I do something wrong but only blame others. You have thought that if you succeed, maybe I am better than dead now. After so many years of master and servant affection, I won't punish you, but I don't want to forgive you. I don't want to see you anymore. I'll give you ten taels of silver, which is all the feelings of our master and servant. In the future, it's up to you whether you live or die. You go!"
"Miss, I..." Hongzhu looked at the young lady's cold face and knew that Miss had shown mercy. If it were the old lady or Aunt Wang, she would be eager to die. If I go back, I'm afraid my parents will sell themselves again. The girl who was kicked out by a big family was afraid that she had to go to the check box. Ten taels of silver is not much, but not much. You can do a small business by yourself.
"I remember the great kindness of the young lady to me. Miss is kind, just ask for peace and joy in the future. With that, he kowtowed two times, walked out step by step, and came back to look at Su Ying. Su Ying sat so calmly and her eyes were calm. When she first came to the lady's room, the young lady was also so calm as if she were a relative. She pulled her uneasiness and told herself not to be afraid, and told Xia Yu and Hongye to take care of herself.
Hongzhu turned around and couldn't help crying and knelt down and said, "Miss, maidservant... Damn it, Master Kun is not as simple as it seems. Please be careful."
Su Ying sighed and said, "I know. Be careful in the future. We can't protect you anymore. Hongyu, send the red bead out. After all, Su Ying finally couldn't bear to be with the people who grew up together and could only look at himself in the future.
Su Ying set her mind and said, "Xia Yu, go and have a rest. Don't eat too much. If you sleep, you will accumulate food. Liu Erhongyu, please go to the old lady's place with me.
After a while, Hongyu came over and her eyes were red. Su Ying didn't look at him. She tidied up her clothes and touched her broken hair. "Go and wash your face and go to the old lady's place with me. Look at what you look like, usually looking at such a steady person. Su Ying said with a smile, "We have done our best, and we will only look at his own creation in the future."
"That's the kindness of the young lady. If you follow the old lady, I'm afraid there will be no way for her to live. If she continues to stay in the house, I'm afraid that Aunt Wang will not tolerate him. I hope she can understand and be a good person. Don't disappoint the young lady.
Su Ying really didn't say anything, but walked out of the door with a calm face.
The old lady's pear garden is in the main room in the north, with shady trees. In autumn, Su Sikang often took Su Ying to the old lady to pick fruits and gave them to the old lady like a treasure. People's feelings are always mutual. Although Wang Sikun is the only child of the second wife, the old lady still feels pain. Aunt Wang is always worried that the old lady or second lady will raise herself. Generally, in addition to studying in Kyoto, she basically stays in Aunt Wang's yard.
For the grandchildren who are close to her, the old lady is naturally distressed. Every time I come here, my grandmother who loves me and takes care of my brother, I always feel kind to Su Ying, who was an only child in the last life.
Su Ying walked into the old lady's room, and the old man just got up and looked a little pale. Su Ying stood aside and followed Mother Zhao to serve the old lady to make up. The old lady sat in front of the mirror, but Su Ying rarely picked up the comb and said she wanted to help the old lady comb her hair.
The old lady couldn't help laughing: "You girl, you haven't been so filial before. What's wrong with you today?"
Su Ying said aggrievedly, "The old lady thinks that I was not filial enough before. It seems that it's my fault to comb the old lady's hair today."
"It's my blessing to have a granddaughter like you. Don't be busy. Tomorrow is Mrs. Bai's. I asked someone to prepare a congratulatory gift. Originally, I wanted to celebrate with my in-laws, but I didn't want to bother others when I was old. Originally, on my grandmother's birthday, my granddaughter would usually fix an embroidery or something. I was worried that Mrs. Bai saw your embroidery and thought that I didn't treat you well and didn't even teach you embroidery well. The old lady laughed as she spoke, and Su Ying blushed on one side.
Mama Zhao saw that the old lady was happy and said with a smile, "The old lady, look at what you said, our second lady is blessed at first sight. The embroidery has our subordinates, and the second lady is in charge of big things."
Mother Zhao's undisguised praise made Su Ying, who had lived for more than 30 years, embarrassed. If you have been scolding your unfalling father in your previous life, you don't know what the reaction will be.
After a while, the second lady, Su Wan, Sikang and Sikun also came over. Originally, Sikang and Sikun, the old lady planned to send them to Lishan College to study. As a result, Sikang went to his grandfather's place and received double " care" by his grandfather. He was also intelligent. He actually won this year's imperial examination. I'm afraid there are few people who enter the top three at a young age.
However, Sikun entered the National Prison in Kyoto because of the desperate opposition of Aunt Wang. Although it is famous as the highest institution, it is full of high-ranking officials and children. To put it bluntly, it depends on who his father is. Lishan Academy can only enter the school after passing the written examination and interview. Every time Aunt Wang complains about Sikun, she never thinks about her influence on her son.
After a while, the old people went to the Buddhist hall to do it, and several people dispersed. Sikang is now a university scholar and follows those old scholars to study knowledge. I'm not used to going in at the beginning, but I've been too busy to go home these days.
"Third brother, you look, you have lost weight. Even if you don't go home, you have to take care of yourself. It hurts me to read that you are so free and easy to study books.
"The children of the Su family were originally academic. Look, grandpa is the president of Lishan Academy. My father and brothers fought on the battlefield, and I always have to take care of them at home. I also know what happened these days. Originally, I thought that there was an old lady and a second lady, but I turned a blind eye to some things in the face of my second uncle and Kun'er. I didn't expect that woman to dare to come to your head.
"Third brother, it's okay. Look, I'm fine. Just take care of yourself. I won't be bullied.
Su Ying is not used to the seriousness of the third brother who has always had a hippie smile. The third brother's temper was much calmer than when he was a child, and Su Ying was still worried about what he would do.
When he was a child, Sikun was jealous of Sikang and said that Su Ying was a sick man who could not live for a few years. He was beaten by Sikang and hung at the door of Aunt Wang's yard. In Sikang's opinion, it was taught by Aunt Wang. If you can't teach it well, I will teach it. As a result, Su Sikang was punished by the old lady to kneel in the ancestral hall and still didn't say a word.
Su Sikang came out and beat Sikun again, and was directly tied to the riverside. It was already the next morning when he found out. This time, Sikun didn't dare to say who it was. He said he knew where to tie it next time. That's all for the old lady's protection.
"Third brother, you don't want to do anything again, do you? Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday banquet. Don't mess around.
"Oc's it, I know. I'm going out first. I'll be back tonight. Tomorrow we'll celebrate my birthday with my grandmother. After saying that, he pinched Su Ying's face like when he was a child, and left without looking back.
Su Ying couldn't help but be moved. When she was young, the third brother often pinched himself like this. Su Ying took a few steps and saw Zhao pruning the trees, so she let Hongyu Liuer look at it not far away.
"Master Zhao has worked hard, but he doesn't help you."
"Second lady, I have some heatstroke and I'm resting in the room. In addition to cute and sparse branches, it is very interesting to choose the best and the bad. I don't think it's hard at all. Zhao stopped what was in her hand and looked at Su Ying's clear eyes. The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Miss Er is a sensible person, and I also have something to do yesterday. There is a reason why Aunt Wang is so targeted against you.
"Well, it's just a pity that as long as the second uncle is here, we may not move her."
Su Ying wants to live a stable life, but this does not mean that she can be bullied by others. The dream at night made her full of hope that she should live well and give her children a good bad situation in the future. If you leave your child in your previous life, you will definitely return to yourself.
