Xia Houshu was stunned, and her surprise was beyond words. She carefully recalled Mrs. Liu's words and deeds. She was a considerate and exquisite person. She couldn't help but wonder: "I saw that your Majesty's face was kind, and he didn't look like a harsh person."
.You are her biological daughter, how could you..."
Sun Jiarou lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and said quietly: "My father and mother naturally protect me, but I am ashamed to be a child."
Xia Houshu immediately realized that there was another story in it, turned around and winked at Yun Xi quickly.
Yun Xi understood the idea, stopped immediately, glanced at Yunzhi and Guizhi, pointed at the purse on Yunzhi's waist and praised her rare needlework and her excellent embroidery skills, and pulled them to ask for advice.
Yunzhi's needlework has always been a skill she was proud of. Now that she heard Yun Xi's praise, she couldn't help but feel happy. She didn't care whether she had any tasks to do, and enthusiastically taught her techniques.
However, Guizhi was not interested in what they were discussing. He cursed Yunzhi secretly in his heart and quickly continued to stare at Sun Jiarou. Just as he was about to follow, he was grabbed by Yunxi.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "This sister seems to be a smart and capable person. I wonder what acupuncture techniques you know? Can you share your experience with us?"
Guizhi didn't want to slap the smiling person, but she was focused on Sun Jiarou and casually replied: "I'm not good at female work. I'm the maid who combs hair in Madam's house."
"No wonder I saw that Mrs. Liu's bun was very delicate and unique. It turned out to be the credit of my sister." Yun Xi immediately started chatting along her strengths, "My girl often said that our bun was not innovative and she disliked our craftsmanship.
No. I was in trouble, and by chance I met a clever person like my sister. It seems that I have to find more opportunities to ask her for advice." Then she looked at Yunzhi again, "Sisters, come with me.
Tell me, can you ask an expert to teach you? Do you have any tips?"
Yunzhi and Guizhi naturally said no, they all figured it out on their own.
Yun Xi looked even more adoring after hearing this, and pulled the two of them to further exchange their experiences.
Yunzhi and Guizhi were a little irritated by Yunxi's entanglement, but they thought Yunxi was Xia Houshu's personal maid and dared not speak out, so they had to tell some half-truths about their own experiences. Yunxi could hear it.
He was enjoying it and asked some questions from time to time, as if he really wanted to learn needlework and combing his hair.
The two groups of people, one behind the other, naturally distanced themselves a little further.
When Sun Jiarou saw this scene, she was a little shocked at first. She didn't expect that the "tail" that she couldn't get rid of after all her efforts could be deceived like this. Then she smiled knowingly and became much kinder to Xia Houshu.
He told his story without any precautions.
Last summer, Sun Jiarou was invited to go to her aunt's house to play in Zhuangzi. There was a large lake in the Zhuangzi, full of lotus flowers. The girls gathered in the octagonal pavilion next to it to write poems and laugh.
I don’t know who started it that day. They grabbed a cousin who had just got engaged and teased her fiancé’s family background. The girl was so thin-skinned that she blushed with embarrassment without saying a few words and shouted that she wanted to tear them apart.
Mouth, the sisters took advantage of the situation and started to fight.
During the chase, Sun Jiarou slipped and accidentally fell into the lotus pond. There was a lot of mud in the pond, and Sun Jiarou didn't know the nature of water. She started flopping around in panic. Unexpectedly, she moved more and more and sank, which scared the sisters and shouted loudly.
Calling for help, while thinking of ways to save her.
Someone happened to be passing by and heard the cry for help. He immediately jumped into the lotus pond to save her.
When the Sun family's aunt heard about the cause and effect, she was horrified. She called all her cousins who were traveling with her and reprimanded her. They made those who kneeled down, those who copied books and those who copied books, and those who were grounded. From then on, the whole family regarded Sun Jiarou as a
It is a priority to protect the object, and don’t dare let her go out and walk around at will.
One day, the personal maid Caixia suddenly told Sun Jiarou that a young man who claimed to be her savior asked to see her.
Sun Jiarou heard from her aunt's cousins that the person who rescued her from the lotus pond was a scholar who lived in Zhuangzi. She thought she owed him a favor, so she met him.
The scholar's name was Yu Xiuyuan, and he was a guest of the Sun family's aunt's house. He had a handsome face, a tall figure, a gentle personality, and quite a bit of literary talent. At a young age, he was appreciated by the master's family, and he was very close to the young master of the house.
If you read together as a classmate, you will have a bright future.
Sun Jiarou had lived in her boudoir for a long time and rarely had contact with foreign men. When she accidentally met such a gentle and gentle young man, who also had a life-saving kindness, she couldn't help but feel excited.
When Yu Xiuyuan rescued people, he was too panicked and did not remember Sun Jiarou's appearance. He only remembered that she was a weak woman. When he saw Sun Jiarou who was recovering from illness that day, he felt that she was frail but also a bit charming and naive.
He loves her so much that he wishes he could protect her under his arms at all times.
After that, Yu Xiuyuan often came to visit with excuses.
Unknowingly, the two fell in love with each other and plunged headlong into this destined to be sad love.
Sun Jiarou has only turned fifteen this year, which is a good age for people to be more charming than flowers. The Sun family is not in a hurry to marry her off, but has secretly selected a son-in-law.
However, Yu Xiuyuan was full of blood and had lofty ambitions. In his letter, he asked Sun Jiarou to give him three years. By then, he would definitely be on the gold medal list and earn an official position to marry her.
As the saying goes, it is easy to find a priceless treasure, but hard to find a lover. Sun Jiarou was in love for the first time, and it was a long time ago. Hearing such an oath of eternal love, his heart was naturally as happy as a deer. He only hoped that these three years would pass soon, and Yu Xiuyuan would be on the list, riding
He came to marry her with a big horse and eight sedans.
The two promised each other for life, conveying their love for each other through affectionate letters. They were filled with plans and expectations for the future. They had no idea that their elders had already noticed the secret relationship between them.
The Sun family has strict etiquette, and Sun Liwen did not believe that his usually docile and well-behaved daughter would do something that would harm the family's reputation and his own official reputation. He was sure that Yu Xiuyuan was the instigator behind the incident and abducted an official girl. So he sent someone to investigate Yu Xiuyuan's details.
It turned out that the ancestors of the Yu family were born as hunters, and later switched to the medicinal materials business to have a meager family background. Yu Xiuyuan went to school for several years, and with his own efforts, he became a scholar and was recommended by the supervisory history before joining the Sun family.
He was a retainer in the family, but he was not a wealthy person. Even if one day Yu Xiuyuan worked hard and was put into use and recommended by his master's family, and he got a part-time official position, which changed his humble background, and his family was still very poor.
Although the Sun family is not a royal family member, they have been officials for generations and can be considered a scholarly family. They are a prestigious family in the capital.
It was inappropriate for her to be from such a mismatched family, so Sun Liwen naturally disagreed with her daughter continuing to associate with Yu Xiuyuan.
Sun Jiarou was young and did not know how to be sophisticated. She was determined to marry Yu Xiuyuan. Seeing that her family was pressing hard, she asked her maid Caixia to help deliver letters and secretly made an appointment with Yu Xiuyuan to elope together.
Unexpectedly, their little trick had long been noticed by Sun Liwen, who had seen countless people, and they were both caught before they even left the capital.
Later, Caixia was beaten to death by the Sun family because her master had eloped. Although Sun Jiarou did not suffer any physical pain, she was locked in the house for several months and cut off all contact with the outside world.
During the period of confinement, Sun Jiarou lived a miserable life every day. She went on a hunger strike, pretended to be sick and ran away, and even threatened death, making herself a human being and a ghost. In the end, she was rescued in time.
What kept her alive was probably her lover's promise.
After her repeated death threats, Sun Liwen finally lost his patience. He warned Sun Jiarou that if she continued to make trouble, he would just pretend that he had never given birth to such a daughter, and immediately go to the government to sue Yu Xiuyuan for abducting an official girl.
Not only could Yu Xiuyuan's current fame be lost, he might also be sent to the frontier as a slave, and they would never be able to see each other again.
Sun Jiarou received the initiation in a daze, and gradually realized that even if she no longer seeks life and death, she and Yu Xiuyuan will never be destined for each other in this life. But Yu Xiuyuan is different. He was born in a humble background and struggled to achieve what he is today. If his father really ruined Yu Xiuyuan's future
, then she has completely harmed him.
After understanding this truth, Sun Jiarou gradually became at ease, but she was depressed all day long and her health became worse every day.
Mrs. Liu is a conservative and face-conscious person. Although she is quite shameless towards her daughter's various behaviors, after all, she is still a piece of flesh that has fallen off her body. Seeing her daughter getting thinner, she feels heartbroken, so she brought Sun Jiarou here.
She stayed in Buddhist pure land for a while, hoping that she could repent soon and start over.
Memories are a small city that traps Sun Jiarou and the person in her dream. She can't get out, forget, or get better, so she can only watch the residual dream at the ferry of lovesickness, and let the oath remain.
The mind is obsessed with it, and is colored with sadness, covering the girl's young face.
After listening to Sun Jiarou's narration, Xia Houshu was shocked and regretful. She had not experienced love yet, so she could not empathize with her, and she did not know how to comfort Sun Jiarou. However, in the dramas she had heard before, such feelings were not recognized by her elders.
, there are probably two endings, either going through hardships and helping each other; or compromising with each other and forgetting each other in the world.
In order to appear more sincere, Xia Houshu even hypothesized what she would do if one day she faced the same predicament as Sun Jiarou. After all, there were two vivid examples before her, Zhong Lufu, and Sun Jiarou later. She also
I wonder if she will be able to make her own decisions about marriage in the future. If she has someone to love, but her parents block her, or insist on marrying her to someone else, will she resist, accuse, run away, or even die like Sun Jiarou?
force?
If this is a two-way love, she should be able to do it.
Xia Houshu thought silently.
Thinking of this, Xia Houshu realized that she only listened to Sun Jiarou talking, but what about Yu Xiuyuan?
Did he long ago accept his fate and succumb to an unmatched family for that handsome young man whom Sun Jiarou yearned for so much that he even risked his life for it? Or did he miss him as much as Sun Jiarou did, watch and help each other, and make up his mind to fight to the end?
If Yu Xiuyuan gives in, everything Sun Jiarou does will only move her and is not worth it at all. But if Yu Xiuyuan still holds on, then she will support Sun Jiarou to try again for herself.
If you don’t fight, who knows whether you will win or lose in the end?
She asked: "Where is he? Does he know your current situation and thoughts?"
Sun Jiarou was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded bitterly and said, "He said he would never marry anyone but me in this life." This chapter has been completed!
