Chapter 31 (2/2)
Yuxi put down his brush and said, ”what do you want to say?”
Hongshan said respectfully, ”I know that you have a plan in mind. But there are some things that girls still need to worry about. ” Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Hongshan didn't beat around the Bush and said directly, ”just like today, the girl is so indifferent to the present that the master only gives you three girls, but she doesn't give you one. If you let the old lady know, she will be happy.” Indifference means that there is no expectation for parents. In the eyes of the old lady, the girl is dissatisfied with the third master. She should be filial as a child. If the girl is carrying an unfilial name, she will not be able to get married in the future, even in the mansion.
Yuxi, with a dignified face, said, ”what do you want to say? It doesn't matter to speak up. ” Yuxi is worried that Hongshan is digging a hole for her, so she has to be careful.
Hongshan said, ”girl, I have to be a filial child even if the master is eccentric.” Only filial children can make people like and feel relieved.
Yuxi stared at Hongshan. If she could stare out a hole, ”I want to know why you want to say these words to me.” If it's really digging a hole, it can only be said that Hongshan's courage is too great, because she has to fall into the hole if she's not careful.
Hongshan looked up and said, ”I believe in girls.” As for the girl who believes, she must know.
Yuxi looks at Hongshan unexpectedly. It's devotion.
Hongshan was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she didn't regret what she said. Some time ago, it was her turn to take a vacation. She told her father about her latest performance. Her father said that four girls would not be as big as three girls in the future, but it will not be bad in the future. Her father asked her to wait for the girl to be accepted by Mr. Song and serve her wholeheartedly.
Hongshan thought about it for a long time, and finally made her stand before Mr. Song accepted the girl. Otherwise, when you worship under Mr. Song's door, everyone knows that your future is not bad. Then you can't be trusted by you. It's not worth it if you don't get the priority and violate the old lady's wishes.
Yuxi said positively, ”your father is the second housekeeper. Even if you don't rely on me, you can find a good way out. Tell me, why are you doing this? I want to hear the truth. ”
Since Hongshan has made up her mind to take this road, she will not leave any more room: ”girl, I originally wanted to serve the girl for five or six years, when I was seventeen or eighteen, I was also at the age of marriage. If you marry outside, you will have a good life. ” According to Hongshan, to marry outside means to marry into a good people's home and become a good wife, so as to get rid of the fate of being a slave or a servant.
”What happened?” Yuxi asked Hongshan suddenly changed her mind. Something must have happened, and it must have been a big deal.
Hongshan's eyes were red: ”I have a cousin who has served the old lady before. A few years ago, I went out and married a scholar. This year, my brother-in-law in Qiuwei became a member of the family. After that, their family began to dislike my cousin as a servant girl and felt that her family's reputation had been damaged. A few days ago, my cousin said that she was going to have a rest. My father came to their house. Their family was worried about the family of the government. At last, this matter ended. But my cousin is living a very difficult life now. ” Hongshan has a good relationship with her cousin. Looking at her cousin, she looks so haggard in a few months. Her hair is cold in her heart.
Yuxi asked calmly, ”you're afraid you'll fall into your cousin's situation, so you don't want to marry outside? Want to marry back in the mansion? ”
Hongshan said directly: ”people in the mansion have the same identity, and they will certainly not abandon my identity. And the people in the mansion know their roots, so don't worry about being cheated. ” Her brother-in-law used to be loyal and honest, or her sister would not have chosen that person. It can only be said that the man's disguise is so good that his whole family is out of sight. There is no such worry when you look in the mansion. After all, it's OK to inquire about a person's details in the same residence.
This time, Hongshan was hit so hard that she didn't want to marry outside again.
Yuxi didn't answer Hongshan directly, but asked a question: ”what's the matter with calligraphy?” It's not stupid to be able to climb the second-class servant girl in the upper house. But Hongshan is stupid about the calligraphy. She tells her things without thinking. Yuxi felt strange at that time, but she didn't ask much.
Hongshan knelt on the ground and said with a white face: ”mother Shen asked me to tell her everything about the girl. I didn't want to do such a thing. It happened that sister Ziyi came to me to talk about the calligraphy.” Hongshan does this to alienate Yuxi from her and keep her away from her. In this way, she knows that Yuxi's business is less and there is nothing to report to Shen's mother.
Yuxi suddenly realized that there was a reason: ”you are not afraid that I can not give you a future?”
Hongshan had let go and said, ”that's my life, too.” In fact, it can be seen from Fang's mother's story that as long as she is devoted to the girl, she will certainly not ignore her.
It's very cost-effective for her to win Hongshan's loyalty. Yuxi said, ”as long as you can do it, I will not let you fall into your cousin's situation.”
Hongshan's heart returned to her stomach. Her cousin's affair made her cold, which also made her afraid to marry outside. If she married in the mansion, she had to find a support. Although her father is the second housekeeper, he is old, and her two brothers are not smart people, so they will not be able to take up her father's job in the future. If there is no strong backing, the future will be just as sad. This is the real reason why she committed to Yuxi. For the future, Hongshan decided to gamble. As for whether we win or lose, we need time to prove it.
