Chapter 299 Whispers in the middle of the night with different hearts
Shangguan Ting, who was standing beside him, smiled as he saw this, but his sweet smile hung on his face, but his eyes were filled with gloom. Her biological mother died early, and only father and daughter depended on each other for life. The father and daughter have always been deserted at home. Because of her father's illness, the father and daughter rarely joked, but they had never felt such a hustle and bustle. Seeing Xiao Guilan's little daughter's delicate appearance, she sighed in her heart.
"I really have different lives, so I don't have the chance to act like her!"
That night, Shangguan Ting slept with the Xiao sisters. The Xiao sisters did live in a big room. The Xiao family used to live in a tight living room and lived in a compact room. Now after moving to this shop, the house in the front and back yard is very spacious. There are several rooms in the back yard, and each family of five is enough. Xiao Guilan is young and timid, so she insists on coming to sleep with her elder sister. The two sisters slept in a room. Even in this way, the big bed and small beds each look very wide!
Xiao Guirong pointed to the small bed and said to Shangguan Ting,
"Sister Shangguan, this bed was originally slept by my little sister, but she was timid and wanted to squeeze a bed with me. Therefore, this bed was always empty. The pillow cage on the top was just changed. You can sleep in this bed!"
Shangguan Ting hurriedly thanked,
"It's time for Sister Xiao!"
Xiao Guirong smiled,
"If you are called sisters, you don't have to be so polite!"
The three of them washed up and went to bed. However, Xiao Guilan was very excited because the guests came today, but she had a happy conversation and insisted on pulling the two to chat. The chat was the second update. When she was sleeping and slept, the two big ones were completely lost in sleep!
Xiao Guirong listened to her little snoring and said helplessly to Shangguan Ting.
"Sister Shangguan is sorry. Everyone is spoiled at home. I have become a little spoiled, but I can't sleep well!"
Shangguan Ting smiled,
"Sister Xiao is talking about it. I have no sisters and brothers since I was a child, and I have never chatted with my sisters like this in the middle of the night. It is thanks to Sister Xiao for having such fun!"
Xiao Guirong asked about Shangguan Ting's life experience. Shangguan Ting said that she had only been married for many years. As a result, her mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to her. Her father never succeeded her again. She just pulled her up alone. Because of her beauty, she was not favored by girls of the same age in the village since she was a child, so she had no sisters, and only one cousin was pretty good to her!
Xiao Guirong felt even more sympathetic when she heard this and sighed,
"It's all hard-working people..."
But I told her about her life experience. When she said that she would have her current situation, she naturally couldn't help but mention Wu Xin'an.
"...It's also thanks to the girl An An who saved me from the fire and rescued me repeatedly. I often think that maybe I did a good thing in my previous life and I was lucky enough to meet her in this life. If not... I would say that our family would follow my father to the ends of the world and never return to the Central Plains in their entire lives!"
Speaking of Wu Xin'an, Shangguan Ting's heart moved.
"Is this how Sister Xiao knows Mrs. Pei?"
Xiao Guirong smiled,
"It was when Uncle Wu went to Beijing to take office at that time. He and my father had the same subject. We met when we visited Hejian Mansion. Then we arrived in the capital together. Not long ago, she married her childhood sweetheart and became Mrs. Pei today!"
As he said, he smiled,
"Speaking of this, An An came from Jinling to the capital and met her husband again in Jinghai..."
Shangguan Ting bit her lip for a while and turned over gently. In the darkness, she seemed to be afraid that Xiao Guirong would see her expression, and she pretended to be curious and asked in a tone.
"Then...what kind of person is Mrs. Pei's husband?"
How could he let his wife go around and act ambiguously with the handsome groom?
I heard Xiao Guirong responded,
"You have seen An'an's husband before..."
Shangguan Ting was a little surprised.
"I've seen it?"
Xiao Guirong smiled,
"When we went to your house, wasn't he driven the carriage?"
People like Pei He will never forget anything you have seen!
Sure enough, Shangguan Ting turned around in surprise.
"Then... the groom is Mrs. Pei's husband. He... isn't he an official? Why... how can he be a coachman?"
Xiao Guirong smiled softly in the darkness,
"That's because he was worried about his wife, so he drove the carriage to take us out of the city..."
What "we" should be An An, I just happened to be with An An. Pei He's cold temperament, if An An hadn't called him, he would have turned around and left him there, so that he would not care whether he was his wife's best friend!
Shangguan Ting was lost when she heard this.
"He...he...he is an official, how can he be a groom?"
Even the men in this world are homeless and unemployed, all of whom are self-pretentious and wish they could step on women into the mud. How could a talent like him be an official and willing to lead a horse and drive a car for his wife?
Xiao Guirong seemed to understand her surprise and said with a smile.
"A person like Pei He is different from the men around him. In his eyes, only his own wife is the most important thing. As long as An An likes him, he likes him. As long as An An wants, he is willing..."
After saying that, he briefly talked about Wu Xin'an and Miss Xu San's visiting the brothel, and finally stuck out his tongue and said,
"Only An An and the lady from the Wei State House dare to do such a thing. I am afraid that I will never go to that kind of place to see the world in my life!"
Shangguan Ting widened her eyes when she heard this.
"Can't Lord Pei be angry?"
Xiao Guirong responded,
"How could he be angry? He had said that he looked cold and cold, but he was really excellent to An An..."
Shangguan Ting was silent for a long time when she heard this, and sighed,
"It's a pity... there are too few such men in this world, why can't we meet one?"
Xiao Guirong laughed again after hearing this.
"I used to think like you, but now... I don't think so anymore... Such a man is not something that people like us can match..."
If he married such a husband, he would go out every day. As soon as he thought about how his face attracted bees and butterflies was seductive, he would be restless at home and not want to eat and eat, how could he live?
It’s better to be a person like Brother Su Tu. He has a beard and looks fierce and vicious. In fact, he is very considerate and careful inside, and he is also very caring to himself. Although he has been doing it all year round, he will send messages or come back from time to time. He will send goose feathers thousands of miles away. The most important thing is this kind of affection. Xiao Guirong feels that he is satisfied to have such a man keep him in his heart all the time. He will never think about it again in this life!
In the darkness, Shangguan Ting turned around, her eyes turned to the dark night outside, and said in her heart,
"Your appearance is naturally not suitable, but why can't I have such a husband?"
After that, there was nothing to say, but it was said that it was before dawn the next day. Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Guirong got up to make breakfast, and Shangguan Ting followed her to help. Mrs. Xiao smiled when she saw Shangguan Ting busy in the kitchen.
"Whoever married such a good girl is so lucky!"
Xiao Qiyue also got up to study. Seeing someone shaking in the kitchen, he came out to take a look. Seeing Shangguan Ting and his mother and sister were there, he said politely,
"How dare you get Miss Shangguan!"
Shangguan Ting smiled,
"I get up at this time at home to cook. I am used to cooking, but I feel uncomfortable if I don't do it!"
Xiao Qiyue Dao,
"Ms. Shangguan is a guest, how can you keep the guests busy..."
"Young Master Xiao is out..."
Seeing the two of them being polite, Mrs. Xiao suddenly moved her mind and quietly pulled her daughter to the side and asked,
"Can this Miss Shangguan betrothed?"
Xiao Guirong immediately understood his own mother's thoughts, thought about it and responded.
"Sister Shangguan has a very high vision, I'm afraid he will look down on Erlang!"
Mrs. Xiao responded,
"Our family used to not think of such a good girl, but now the family is a little rich, and Qi Yue's books are well read. Didn't An An ask him to go home and ask Master Wu to give advice? If he could get a ranking in the imperial examination and have the status of a scholar, wouldn't he be worthy of her?"
Mrs. Xiao is gentle and kind-hearted and generous to others. However, when it comes to her own children, she will naturally make mistakes that all mothers in the world. She always thinks that her son is the best, and no one else can compare with others!
Xiao Guirong was not optimistic about this marriage. She is no longer the eldest lady who was raised in the deep boudoir and ignorant of the world. She has seen a lot of knowledge outside in the past few years. She has long seen Shangguan Ting is a girl with big thoughts and good ideas. If she looked down on this small family in her family, then the gentry and landlords in the countryside who have surplus grain and many servants, wouldn’t she have married long ago? Why would she have caused the previous incident?
Seeing Mrs. Xiao's eager look, Xiao Guirong couldn't help but disappoint her mother's pleasure. After thinking about it, she responded.
"Then... I'll try to find out her tone..."
"well!"
Mrs. Xiao nodded happily, as if her daughter asked this question, things would be done. So when the family was taking breakfast, they greeted Shangguan Ting very attentively, which made Xiao Guilan look jealous. Xiao Guirong was amused, but Shangguan Ting looked a little embarrassed, but Xiao Qiyue and Xiao Qifeng did not notice any strangeness at all, and were still as usual.
After only having food, Xiao Guirong took Shangguan Ting out. Because of his experience of searching for life around, Xiao Guirong quickly found a job for Shangguan Ting to wash and mend others.
"Come clothes every three days, and then send the clothes in front of you back..."
The one who was living was an old woman with a sharp eye. She looked Shangguan Ting up and down and said,
"You come to my place to get work every time, don't look for it yourself!"
Shangguan Ting responded, but when he came out, he asked Xiao Guirong in confusion.
