"What if your trusted friend has been hiding something important to you?"
Xie Songhua still shook his head, "How could I know that when you say that? First of all, I have to look at what it is, and secondly, I have to look at the other person's motive for concealing it. Finally, I have to measure how much negative impact he has had on me after concealing it.
.”
She shrugged and said, "So, unless you tell me directly what it is, my lord, how can I answer you?"
Her answer left Xiao Yu helpless, and in the end he could only say: "That's what I said casually."
When he got on the carriage, Xiao Yu did not let the carriage go back home, but went to a restaurant.
"It's a rare trip, and there are only two of us, so we won't go back to eat."
She originally thought it would be a very secluded small box like last time, but she didn't expect that this time Xiao Yu brought her to a very smoky restaurant.
Even though he was still in a private room, the private room on the second floor was only separated by a screen, and from here he could still see the scene in the lobby below.
It was dinner time, and there was a lot of excitement going around inside and outside. The other side happened to face the street, and you could see rows of lights on the street.
Xie Songhua liked the feeling of fireworks in this world and couldn't help but feel very good.
Listening to the waiter announcing the names of the dishes in a fluent manner, I immediately ordered a bunch of them.
"Have you finished eating after ordering so much?"
"If you can't finish it, you can take it away!" Xie Songhua said without hesitation, "The maids in my house are all greedy. When the food comes later, I will pick out half of it and put it in a box.
Take it back and they can chat and eat it while doing needlework at night."
As she spoke, she asked the waiter to bring over the food box first.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but be fascinated when he saw her looking so happy.
"What's wrong?"
"You are very nice to those maids in your house."
"That's natural!" Xie Songhua said without hesitation, "We have come here together through thick and thin. They are no better than me. They sold themselves into slavery and their life and death are in the hands of others. If I don't treat them better, wouldn't they be even less safe?
feel?"
Xiao Yu didn't say anything else. He naturally knew the friendship between Xie Songhua and those maids.
Seriously speaking, he actually spent more time with her than those maids.
The craftsmanship of this restaurant is really good, and many of the dishes Xie Songhua ordered were delicious.
And now that Xiao Yu eats with her, he can eat something spicy, so both of them enjoy their food.
If you get high after eating this, it is inevitable that you will consume too much.
Xie Songhua could only lie down by the window, holding her belly and watching the scenery outside to eat.
At this moment, I saw two familiar figures on the street.
"That's..."
Xiao Yu heard that her tone was different, so he stood up and followed her.
At the entrance of the alley across the street, two young women were standing, holding red lanterns in their hands. They looked pretty good both in appearance and figure.
Judging from the way they were dressed, they probably weren't doing any serious business.
If he hadn't heard their voices just now, Xie Songhua wouldn't have recognized them immediately as Fufeng and Taxue.
"This..." Xie Songhua pointed at the two of them and looked at Xiao Yu in surprise.
Xiao Yu reached out and closed the window directly, "Look what they are doing? Aren't they just full? They are not afraid of vomiting out the contents in their stomachs."
Unexpectedly, he had such a mean side. Xie Songhua was stunned, but he was still confused, "I heard Cheng'er say before that you betrothed them to two veterans under your command, didn't you?"
"Isn't this because you are not looked upon?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Yu's tone, "Two people who have been raised to please men with their flesh and blood since they were young actually look down on the soldiers who came down from the battlefield. Those two under my command, although they are not Zhou Zheng in appearance, are not
It is true that he suffered some injuries due to the battle, but he is still a man of honor and fame, so why should he be looked down upon by them?"
This was probably Xiao Yu's restricted area, and I don't know what the two girls said at that time, so that Xiao Yu was still so angry when he mentioned it now.
"Then...how did they end up like this?" Xie Songhua felt a little nervous when she asked this question.
Even though she looked down on the style of Fufeng and Taxue, and felt that their last choice made her a little disdainful, she still felt that it was too much to force them to take this path just because of this.
After all, no one can decide other people's lives.
Xiao Yu knew what she was thinking as soon as he looked at her expression. He chuckled softly and said, "Where are you thinking? I would not embarrass two weak women like this."
"Then they are..."
"They didn't want to, so they ran away secretly. But for people like them, who are deeded to the palace and are black households outside, they can't make a living, or they secretly do illegal work for others. Generally speaking, they work for others.
Sell embroidery, or do some physical work.
It's just that black people like them will be priced down. If they settle for a life of poverty, it's not really impossible, but it's obvious..."
Xiao Yu glanced at the window just now, "They are not used to living like that, so they chose the path that they found easiest."
In other words, their current situation is their own choice.
Xie Songhua had nothing to say.
She thought of Mrs. Huayang again.
If he really regards them as his own, he should come to them no matter what, or go to the palace to get their deeds back.
But……
Because after the last incident, Mrs. Huayang had obviously regarded these four people as abandoned children.
I didn't expect that the person who had followed Mrs. Huayang to the Xie Mansion and stood in front of me so gloriously would end up like this.
Seeing her sighing look, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "You don't need to pity them. Firstly, they don't need you to pity them. Secondly, they have received a lot of training at the hands of Mrs. Huayang since they were young. Now, now
The predicament is temporary for them."
"What's the meaning?"
Xiao Yu did not continue, "Well, no matter how their lives go in the future, it has nothing to do with you. You should think carefully about giving your sister a wedding tomorrow!"
As expected, Xie Songhua changed his mind.
Fenghuaxueyue has left the palace and has nothing to do with them in the future. It is useless to think about it.
Tomorrow is the day when Xie Tu will leave the cabinet, and the Su family is really sincere. Because Mr. Su was transferred to the capital, the Su family immediately bought a house in the capital and renovated it inside and out. At present, they are the only two people there.
live.
For Xie Tu, this is really the best thing.
Xie Songhua was originally thinking about what would be a better gift, but later he simply gave away many gorgeous ornaments.
Seeing Xie Tu laughed and felt annoyed at the same time, "Is this because I'm afraid that others won't know that I'm married to a businessman, so I have to put all my rich things on display to tell people?"
Xie Qionghua said coolly from the side: "You couldn't be more stupid if you don't take the money I gave you. Nothing in this world can be bought with money!"
It is not surprising that Xie Qionghua said such words, after all, An is a money-loving person.
Thinking of the twenty thousand taels that Xie Wenhua gave him, Xie Tu didn't say anything else.
Xie Songhua came early in the morning on the day she left the pavilion. Aunt Quanfu, who was combing her hair, had just combed her hair. When she saw Xie Songhua, she couldn't help but smile and said, "The relationship between the girls and sisters is very good.
They all came here early in the morning to get married."
Xie Tu just smiled when he heard this, with happiness and emotion in his eyes.
Even Xie Sihua put away his usual coquettishness and said with a hint of reluctance, "This way, there is one less person."
There are fewer and fewer girls in the house, no wonder she said so.
But at least the sisters are still together now.
But no one knew that there was another person standing outside Xie's mansion at this time.
