New widow

Of course, Xia Yun also admitted that if another girl asked for her, Xia Yun would not be too angry, and Song Zhen's request made Xia Yun think a lot. After all, the two are cousins.

"From now on, sister will live a different life with us." Song Zhen's words were coquettish, which made Xia Yun also yearn for some other different days, leaving the Chen Mansion and the Duke of Guo's Mansion. , to experience what it’s like to live without so many rules?

"Girl, girl!" Mother Wu's voice sounded outside the door. Song Zhen sat up and whispered to Xia Yun: "Now, I have to put on some airs."

"Girl, Madam, dinner is ready. Please come over and have dinner." Aunt Wu had already walked into the room. She knew at a glance that both Song Zhen and Xia Yun had cried. As for why they were crying, Aunt Wu felt that she had already guessed. They were inseparable, but Xia Yun didn't want to be asked to come over, and Song Zhen wanted to send Xia Yun out to restore her innocent identity.

Therefore, Nanny Wu just pretended that nothing happened and spoke respectfully to Song Zhen.

"Then you rest here first, and I'll go to mother's place to have dinner." After Song Zhen finished speaking, she walked out, but Grandma Wu did not follow her out. She only said to Xia Yun: "Young girl is so lucky."

"Mom, you are joking. As for me, I don't have any good luck. I have to do my best to serve my master." Xia Yun's answer was correct. Aunt Wu smiled again and left without saying anything more. .

Xia Yun sat there, and waited until Nanny Wu left. Xia Yun began to think that it would be fine if Song Zhen didn't tell her. As soon as Song Zhen said it, Xia Yun felt that the rules in this world were indeed true.

There's a lot that's not right. Since those on the father's side are relatives, why should the biological mother's side be treated as a servant because of these and other rules?

What if the biological mother is mean? Then why did the father not touch that despicable woman, but why did he despise her status after touching her? Shouldn't these rules exist in the first place?

With a thud, Xia Yun bumped into the window lattice. Xia Yun stretched out his hand to touch the bumped bump on his forehead and couldn't help but laugh. That's all. It's not his place to think about whether the rules are right or wrong. He can only do that at the moment. Do things according to the rules.

Song Zhen walked into Su Qiao's room and saw that the food had been laid out. Mrs. Song Wu and Su Qiao did not sit down, but just talked there. Just as Song Zhen was about to step forward and salute, she saw Lei's tall account book beside her.

Song Zhen couldn't help but stretched out her hand and patted her forehead: "There are so many account books, we have to wait and see when they go."

"You are lucky, you don't have to take care of these account books." After Mrs. Song Wu finished speaking, she complained to Suqiao: "If I had known it would be such a trouble, I wouldn't have agreed."

"This can't be done, you have to agree." Su Qiao took Mrs. Song Wu's hand: "In this family, no one is more legitimate than you."

As soon as these four words were spoken, Mrs. Song Wu smiled: "Yes, everything must be justified."

"It just so happens that the place where it should be justified is not justified." Mrs. Song Wu already understood the meaning of Su Qiao's words, but she was talking about the heir.

"In a home, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind." Mrs. Song Wu said with emotion: "Originally, I

I thought you couldn't do it, but who knew you were better than I thought. "

"As for me, I don't know anything else, I just know how to throw a few tortoise punches." Su Qiao's words made Mrs. Song Wu laugh again. Song Zhen waited until the two of them sat down, then sat down and said with a smile: "It's better to eat quickly? This food will get cold if we don't put it out any longer."

"Speaking of which, do you want to prepare another cook for you?" Mrs. Song Wu frowned as she said this: "And..."

"Cook, maid, mother-in-law, housekeeper, you might as well move the Duke's mansion to me." Suqiao said these teasing words. Mrs. Song Wu looked at her and said, "I can't bear to let you go either."

"I am different from you. You were born in Shenzhai Compound, grew up in Shenzhai Compound, and married into Shenzhai Compound. You are already used to the life of Shenzhai Compound. You can come up with a formula without even thinking about what kind of people you meet. As for me, I grew up in the countryside. , I remember only a few sentences in the book best." Su Qiao paused as she spoke, and Song Zhen also put down her chopsticks, waiting for Su Qiao's next words.

"Walking on thin ice." When Suqiao said these eight words, Mrs. Song Wu became more and more surprised: "How could it be, how could it be like walking on thin ice?"

"My father is an official outside, and I grew up with my uncle and aunt." Mrs. Song Wu already knew this, but Su Qiao repeated it again, there must be Su Qiao's intention. Sure enough, Su Qiao smiled and said: "I After my mother passed away, I couldn't act coquettishly or cry, so as not to disturb the elders. Even when I wear a new dress, my aunt will say it's because they have good intentions."

It was clear that Mr. Kuang had sent money back, but what the aunt and others said seemed as if Suqiao was living under someone else's roof.

"

Then why not take you to the capital. Mrs. Song Wu's words made Su Qiao smile bitterly: "Receive it in the capital?" Follow your stepmother? I can’t say that my stepmother is not a good person, but her salary is very thin, and I have to rely on my stepmother’s dowry to make up for it. She also has her own children, how can she be so nice to me. "

Mrs. Song Wu was silent. The family she grew up in, and even the family she married into, were all rich in money. She had only heard of, but never seen, the families of officials who were short of money.

"You've been here like this for so many years. Thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Song Wu's words were sincere, and Suqiao smiled again: "In the past few days in the Duke's Mansion, I have indeed eaten and seen many things, but... It’s really not interesting.”

He was still walking on thin ice and was trembling with fear. What Suqiao wants is to have nothing to worry about, to be able to sleep peacefully without having to think about those troublesome things.

"There is so much pain in this world." Mrs. Song Wu's voice was choked with sobs. Su Qiao smiled faintly: "If you think about it carefully, my life is not bad. I have not been sold, but I can If you study, you can get married."

Mrs. Song Wu didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just sighed.

"My grandfather was a yamen servant in the prefect's yamen." This is the last thing Mr. Kuang wants to mention. If he were not afraid of being impeached, Mr. Kuang would not even mention that he had married his first wife.

"Ah?" Mrs. Song Wu covered her mouth to hide her surprise.

"When you're down and out, it's natural to get a wife, so my father happily married my mother. But who would have thought that when he got an official position, my mother would become someone he couldn't mention." Even though people People say that women should obey their fathers and husbands regardless of whether they are high or low.

Congzi.
