The eldest son of the red mansion

So Mrs. Zhang nodded and said to Shi Nai: "Since that's the case, you will go to Rongguo Mansion in a few days. Firstly, you come to visit your aunt, and secondly, you come back with a document to make sure this matter is dead." .”

Shi Nai nodded in agreement, and told Mrs. Zhang that he would go to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow, and he would definitely settle this matter.

The two of them were talking about Shi Xiangyun's marriage here, but it might as well be someone under the window listening to the corner.

This person is Yao Yinfeng, the wife's personal servant girl. Her mother used to serve Shi Xiangyun's father in the room, so she was very concerned about Shi Xiangyun in the past. Now their family still thinks that Shi Xiangyun is their serious master.

She was originally serving his wife outside the house, but suddenly she seemed to hear Shi Xiangyun's name inside, so she secretly lay down in front of the window, wanting to hear what was going on inside?

In the end, she only heard half of it, and she gritted her teeth angrily, but she couldn't decide this matter, so she could only go to the backyard and report to Shi Xiangyun.

Yao Yinfeng explained a few words to the little maids who were working together, then left the front yard and walked towards the small courtyard where Shi Xiangyun lived.

Yao Yinfeng came all the way to a remote small courtyard in the backyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Shi Xiangyun's maid, Cui Li, sitting at the door, doing needlework.

Now in Bowling Marquis Mansion, every girl can't be idle.There are endless things to do every day, and those who serve the wife like them are not bad.Shi Xiangyun and her maid, but there is no time to be idle for a moment.

Some of these needlework are for my own family, and some are sent to the homes of various dignitaries. If you say that the reputation of the Bowling Marquis Mansion is not very good now, they are now regarded as needlework workshops, but because of the high status of these people in their family , so those dignitaries also love to use their family's things, after all, it's nice to say it, and it's impossible to keep the things made by the daughter of the Marquis Mansion.

Yao Yinfeng took a few steps forward, when Cui Ling looked up and saw someone, she was startled at first, but finally saw that it was Yao Yinfeng, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter with you, you're not afraid of heat stroke even if you're doing needlework on a hot day?" Yao Yinfeng asked a little puzzled.

Cui Hui stood up, took a look inside, and said: "Our girl did needlework last night until the third watch, and this morning she did it all morning, and fell asleep unconsciously just now. I didn't wake her up. She sleeps in there for a while, and I watch for her outside."

Yao Yinfeng's eyes turned red when she heard these words. How could outsiders think of the majestic Miss Marquis, who has to do needlework until the third watch, so tired that she can only sleep secretly.

While they were talking, hearty laughter came from inside, "Who is here? Why don't you change me, today's needlework will be delayed."

Yao Yinfeng said with tears in his eyes, "Miss is me, Yinfeng."

After Yao Yinfeng said this, he entered the door on his own.When I came in, I saw that Shi Xiangyun was lazily lying on the bed, with a sewing cage next to him, and a pile of patterns on the table, which seemed to be half done.And on Shi Xiangyun's bed was a pair of shoes, which looked like men's.

Yao Yinfeng's eyes rolled around those shoes a few times, and she immediately understood, who are these for?As far as Xiangyun and the others are concerned, although they are doing needlework for others, they have never done men's work except for their relatives.Now he actually stays up late to make shoes for a man, the reason is self-evident.

Seeing her coming, Shi Xiangyun beckoned her to sit by the bed.He also got up from the bed, leaned on the quilt and asked, "You are not waiting in front, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Yao Yinfeng heard Shi Xiangyun asked her, she immediately thought of Shi Xiangyun's fate. The tears that were in the circles of her eyes, but now she couldn't bear it anymore, rolled out immediately.

Seeing her appearance, Shi Xiangyun knew that what she brought was not good news, but Shi Xiangyun has always been open-minded. Although he is not living well now and has complaints, he has not given up hope.

"Sister Yinfeng, what's the matter with you? You can just say what you have to say. At my stage, there's nothing else you can't say." Shi Xiangyun instead began to persuade Yao Yinfeng to get up.

Only then did Yao Yinfeng hold back his crying, and said to Shi Xiangyun: "Miss, Master Hou has arranged a marriage for you, I just heard it from under the window."

Shi Xiangyun blushed immediately when she heard this, no matter how carefree she was, there was no girl who could not be shy when she heard this.

"Which family did you choose? Could it be that the family affairs are not so good, which made you unhappy?" Shi Xiangyun said with some melancholy, the shyness just now was gone, and his eyes were full of sadness.

If Xiangyun really has such a person in his heart now, but seeing that person is already engaged, so he can only pay attention to it silently in his heart. Now that he wants to have a family, it seems that he has no destiny in this life. .

Yao Yinfeng had a sad face, "Miss, this family's family affairs are top of each other in the capital. There are only one or two that can compare with his family."

Shi Xiangyun asked strangely: "If that's the case, what's wrong?"

At the same time, Shi Xiangyun also felt strange that this uncle of hers was so kind and able to spend so much effort to find such a powerful family for her.

Yao Yinfeng couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears immediately, "Miss, why is your life so hard? Although they told you that you are rich, they let you be a concubine. How can this be an uncle, It is clearly the enemy."

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he also froze there, unable to move.She originally thought that no matter how poor the marriage her uncle had arranged for her, she would be just a family with a small official position, but she never thought that she would be a concubine.

Shi Xiangyun stabilized his mind temporarily, and then said tremblingly: "Which one did they book for me, it has such a prestige that they want to let the lady of the Hou's mansion be a concubine."

Chapter 459

Yao Yinfeng felt even more pain in his heart when he heard Shi Xiangyun's lifeless voice.

My young lady hasn't had a good day since she was born. Although it is said that she grew up in the Hou's mansion, she is not much different from those big maids from wealthy families.

"Miss, you still go to this family often, it's the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion." After Yao Yinfeng said this, she lowered her head and dared not even look at Shi Xiangyun.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.If it was from another family, she was still a little worried. If she married into Jia's family, then there would be an old lady to take care of her, even if she became a concubine for brother Bao, it would be fine.

Shi Xiangyun now thinks that he is marrying Jia Baoyu as a concubine, and even feels a little bit of joy in his heart.Although she can't be the main house, sister Lin is not a dirty person.For her arrival, I don't want to be too harsh.

Shi Xiangyun finally calmed down now, and she didn't have any resistance to going to Rongguo Mansion.

"Did you appoint me to Brother Ai? I think Brother Ai and Sister Lin are engaged now, and I'm afraid I can only be their concubine." Although Shi Xiangyun was a little displeased, he thought that he could be Jia Baoyu's concubine. Concubine, with his character, he wouldn't treat him too badly, so don't worry about it.

Yao Yinfeng was stunned for a moment when she heard Shi Xiangyun say that, and then quickly explained to her: "Miss, you made a mistake, you are not the third master of Rongguo Mansion, our Lord Marquis betrothed you to the uncle of Rongguo Mansion, Wuyang Hou Jia Ke is the third master of Rongguo Mansion. concubine."

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, she immediately felt overcast. Although she had met Jia Ke a few times in the Rongguo Mansion before, she was not familiar with it.

Shi Xiangyun only knew that Jia Ke was the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, with power in the government, and every time he met them, he always had a serious face. Jia Baoyu saw him like a mouse seeing a cat.

Thinking about it this way, his uncle promised himself to Jia Ke for the sake of glory and wealth.

Shi Xiangyun thought carefully about Jia Ke's appearance again. Although it was a bit vague, she still knew that Jia Ke's appearance was ordinary, but there was a majesty in front of him and behind him. This was something she had never seen before. His uncle was also a Marquis. It pales in comparison to Jia Ke.

Shi Xiangyun thought for a while and felt that if he married Jia Ke, although Jia Baoyu's wish would not be as good as it was, with Jia Ke's ability, he would definitely be able to protect himself.At least life is better than it is now.

When Shi Xiangyun thought of this, her mood opened up again, and she said to Yao Yinfeng: "I can't decide who to marry, regardless of whether I am older or younger. It's over."

After hearing this, Yao Yinfeng felt that Shi Xiangyun had given up, but in her mind, there was nothing she could do to change it.

So she hugged Shi Xiangyun again and cried for a while, then wiped away her tears, and hurried to the front, I was really afraid that Mrs. Zhang would get angry when she knew she was not there.

After Yao Yinfeng left, Cui Ling moved in step by step from outside the house, and came to Shi Xiangyun's side cautiously, "Miss, are you tired? If you are, I will do your work for you today." .”

Cui Ling is a simple and honest person with a pure face, she doesn't know how to comfort Shi Xiangyun at all, that's why she said the above words.

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said to her: "Don't do it, we don't have to do these jobs anymore from now on."

Cuiwei looked at Shi Xiangyun in surprise, thinking that he was going crazy because he couldn't stand the stimulation. If he really didn't finish his sewing, how would his wife explain it?

Shi Xiangyun smiled and explained to this stupid servant girl: "Miss, although I want to marry a person as a concubine, but this person's status is not ordinary, in order to please this person, I'm afraid they will never dare to let me do these needles and threads again. "

When Shi Xiangyun finished saying this, a cold light came out of his eyes. Although it is not the worst thing to marry into the Rongguo Mansion, after all, it is someone's concubine. Although Shi Xiangyun comforted himself, what is in his heart? There is no hate.

Cui Ling didn't see that it was Xiang Yun's fault, but she patted her chest easily and said, "That's good, then Miss will have time to sleep. You won't have to work for others until late at night."

After Cuihui finished speaking, she looked at Shi Xiangyun's pair of shoes on the bed, and asked Shi Xiangyun with a smile on her face: "Miss, can you still make these shoes of Mr. Bao?"

After hearing what Cui Ling said, Shi Xiangyun felt sad for a while, then took out the scissors from the small bamboo basket, and cut the pair of shoes to pieces.

Seeing her like this, Cui Ling hurried over to grab the scissors, but was pushed away by Shi Xiangyun.

"Cuilu, go aside, from now on I can no longer make shoes for others, and I can only make shoes for the uncle of Rongguo Mansion." After Shi Xiangyun said these words, tears filled his eyes, But desperately not to let it fall.
