Chapter 208 Despair
Although Wenjuan didn't have much contact with Mr. Xiao Xie, she really liked this young man who was easily shy. Perhaps because of her righteous appearance, Wenjuan felt that Mr. Xiao Xie was pleasing to her eyes no matter what she looked at. As a sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. She only cares about her sister's future and destiny. If Ji Yutang and Xiao Xie can finally get married, then she will be very happy.
But his thoughts were just his thoughts. Ji Yutang was not thinking about his life-long affairs so anxiously. There are still many difficulties that need to be solved between Da and Xiao Xie. Both of them are facing many difficult decisions. Under these heavy pressures, they are in no mood to consider their future destination. It's a pity that even if he told Wenjuan's sister-in-law, these words wouldn't make sense. Wenjuan stubbornly believed that the two of them could get along.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to tell you the truth. If you think Mr. Xiao Xie is good, then there must be many people who think he is good. Don't you know? He is sought after by all the young ladies waiting to be married in Bianjing. He He was even given the title of "The Jade-faced Man of Bianjing" by others, praising him for looking like Pan An and resembling a piece of uncut jade. He was praised as high as heaven and earth. You see, there are so many people who like him, and there are many ladies from wealthy families lining up. Maybe some of the royal family and nobles among us also like him. Qi, the same goes for choosing his future destination. Think about it, how could he choose our small, broken home when he has so many choices?”
Ji Yutang spoke so much in one breath. Although he said these words to block Wenjuan's sister-in-law's mouth, there were many true thoughts hidden in Ji Yutang's heart. It's not that he feels inferior because of his position in this society. She just feels that in such a feudal dynasty, people pay attention to the orders of their parents, the words of matchmakers, and the well-matched families. Face and status are very important. Marrying with power is just to see if you can get help from the other party. The main thing is a marriage. Therefore, Mr. Xiao Xie, who has an extraordinary status, is destined to have an extraordinary marriage in the future, and she is just an ordinary citizen. Even if she straightens her toes or rides a fast horse, she may not be able to do it. If you win Mr. Xiao Xie, you may not be able to catch up with Mr. Xiao Xie.
Ji Yutang is actually a little sad in his heart. Although he knows that Mr. Xiao Xie may not be as particular about being well-matched as in this society, he knows that with his current strength, he cannot resist the general trend of the entire dynasty. He can only Will be carried forward by this feudal dynasty.
After hearing her call, Wenjuan actually agreed in her heart, but she still didn't give up and said sarcastically: "It's not necessarily the result. Don't be too discouraged. I think Mr. Xiao Xie is a pretty good person." reasonable person , he has been to our house several times, and he has not looked down upon us because of our small appearance or poor situation. I think he is much better than others, sister, you should really consider it. "< br>
Ji Yutang was really helpless. She simply opened her words and said clearly: "Sister-in-law, you are right. He is very good. He does not despise us just because our family is poor. This is his own advantage. You also recognize him." Very good character, good manners, good family background, all aspects They are all very good, and he is indeed so. So don’t you realize that it is precisely because he is good in all aspects that there will be more families who want to marry him. What advantages does our family have among these families? What about being unique? ”
Wenjuan was completely silent. If just now she still harbored fantasies and had some extravagant hopes and expectations that her sister might get married to Mr. Xiao Xie, then after listening to Ji Yutang's long and heartfelt speech, She gave up this idea completely.
The two people sat facing each other for a long time, silent, leaving a sigh.
On the other side, the Xie family and Xie Huaichu were not having an easy time either.
Xie Huaichu left home for a few days without explaining clearly to his family. None of his family members could contact him, and they were all worried.
I don't know what happened, but what made Xie Huaichu feel very baffled was that Xie Zhen was also very worried about one of his family members, and he acted very realistically, worrying more about himself than his adoptive mother and sister. Xie Huaichu was as confused as a two-foot-long monk. He couldn't figure out why? He couldn't figure out what happened during the few days he left? This earth-shattering event was able to make Xie Zhen, who had always been a shy person, change his temper and change his attitude towards him. Qing Dynasty actually started to treat him with care and concern. He even thoughtfully prepared tea for him and asked his servants to take care of him. , and also specifically told the kitchen to cook a few dishes he likes to eat.
"Don't panic, don't panic yet, did something happen at home?" Xie Huaichu couldn't bear it, and someone finally couldn't help but ask the questions in his heart.
"Brother, nothing's wrong. In the past few days since you left, everything at home has been peaceful and business as usual. Nothing has happened. Everything is calm at home and each of us is living a good life." Before Liu Meiniang could reply, Xie Wei suddenly grabbed her. After a while, he said these words in succession, and forced a smile, as if he was trying to confirm what he said that nothing happened at home. But her expression was very forced. Even if she could hide it from outsiders, she could never hide it from Xie Huaichu, who cared about her in his heart.
"Xie Wei, what happened? If you don't explain these things clearly today, then I will never recognize you as my sister again." Xie Huaichu's heart rang with alarm bells. He intuitively felt that during the few days he left, there was something wrong with his family. Something bad must have happened, otherwise my sister, who has always been lively and outspoken, would be so hesitant today.
Xie Wei pursed her lips. She reflexively turned her head to glance at Xie Zhen, then shook her head towards Xie Huaichu and replied firmly: "Without everything being peaceful at home, nothing would happen. Brother, are you doing this these days? What big thing happened on the day? Your mental state is not very good. Why are you so sensitive?”
Xie Huaichu noticed his sister's little movements, and he knew that Xie Wei's abnormality must be related to that Xie Zhen who was a Buddha but a snake. But he couldn't get angry yet, so he could only bear it in his heart.
"Okay, you're right. I've been running around a lot these days and I'm really tired. Maybe it's because I'm tense and too sensitive. Don't take it to your heart." Xie Huaichu showed a smile to comfort his sister. .
Xie Zhen started to look tense when Xie Wei spoke unnaturally. He winked at Xie Wei quietly, always worried that she would spill the beans and afraid that she would say bad things about him. Seeing that Xie Wei obediently followed his instructions, he felt relieved in his heart.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please stop hanging around here. Huaichu has only been out for a few days, and he has lost weight. Let him eat something good to replenish his body." Xie Zhen greeted the whole family. Go inside.
Xie Huaichu raised his legs and followed him, but with every step he took, his heart sank a little lower, and the despair in his heart became even greater.
