Recently, Mr. Xue loved to be alone.
She had to close the door in the room, and the maids and old maids were not allowed to come in. Everyone had their own worries. Thinking about where they would stay for the next meal, they did not have time to pay attention to the abnormality of Mr. Xue.
Anyway, their First Miss used to be angry with her.
First Miss was the eldest daughter, so she should be very popular. However, she had a concubine's younger sister who was only two months younger than her.
That concubine's younger sister was the Second Miss, Xue Yuntan.
Xue Yuning was born with national beauty. He had been smart and obedient since he was a child. His grandmother and father regarded him as their treasure. As for the eldest daughter of almost the same age, she was a little dull when she wasa child. She only spoke when she was three years old. She was slow, slow, and from then on, she could never catch up with the step of a concubine's younger sister.
The First Miss worshipped her father. Her father did not care about her and treated her very perfunctorily. Her mother used to love her very much, but unfortunately, her elder brother had an accident at the age of sixteen and one of his legs had been cut off. Since then, her mother had been worried and no longer had time to pay attention to her.
She became more and more powerful and tried her best to perform in front of her grandmother, father, and mother. However, her ability was limited, so she did not make any achievements. Instead, she made countless jokes, which made Second Miss more extraordinary and lovely.
The maidservants had been disappointed in their mistress for too long. Now, they only hoped that she would behave herself and not offend the Old Madame and Second Miss. They wanted her to make it through this year.
I'm getting married.
When she reached her mother-in-law's house, there might be a turning point.
What Xue Qian wanted to marry was the royal Wen family.
Over the years, the emperor had deliberately suppressed the noble families and promoted the poor. Many generals were born in humble families and were more loyal to the emperor.The duke's family, which should have been high above others, would be embarrassed in terms of money if they were not good at camping and were not frugal. They would want to arrange a marriage with a big merchant.
They looked down on the merchants while coveting their wealth.
The old marquis of the Lord Protector's Manor, who had drunk, drank, played, and made a bet in his early years, had lost all his money. If he hadn't married the daughter of the Third Madam,who was a rich businessman, the Lord Protector's Manor would not have been able to hold on any longer.
Everyone's dignity was torn apart, and more and more nobles and merchants became relatives.
In this case, Xue Shi was engaged to the Wen family. She was 15 years old and was almost 18 years old this year. It was because not long after the engagement, her fiance's grandfather passed away. He was the eldest grandson of the family and had to observe mourning for three years.
Mr. Xue didn't pay much attention to this.
She returned to her room, put the cat on the table, and took out a pen and paper.
"Alas, the brush is so hard to use," she muttered and continued to draw on the paper with the brush.
Xue Qian was a very smart person. Even if it was very difficult to use a brush, she would be familiar with it after using it a few times.In her medical room, there were many things that she had used before. Of course, there were all kinds of paper and pen. But she couldn't take them out, lest she couldn't explain them clearly.
Unless he had no other choice, Xue Qian could make up for it.
She drew very seriously.
Her cat, Ah Chou, was watching from the side, staring at her painting.
Halfway through the painting, Xue Qian looked up and saw that the cat was particularly focused. He couldn't help but be amused. He rubbed its little nose with his finger and asked, "Do you understand?"
Ah Chou looked up at her.
Xue Qian said, "Your eyes are so beautiful, like two natural gems! I love you so much!"
Ah Chou: "..."
Somehow, Xue Qian felt that the cat's expression was particularly funny—a little shy and a little annoyed.
It was as if he was saying, "A frivolous woman!"
Xue Qian knew that it was impossible for a cat to have an expression. These were all her own imagination.
She continued to draw happily.
When the drawing was over, Xue Qian found two taels of silver from his drawer.
These two taels of silver were her last remaining cash.
She changed her clothes, picked up the cat, and was about to go out.When the maidservant, Hong Luan, saw this, she hurriedly walked over. "Miss, where are you going?"
"I'm going out."
"You can't go out without Old Madame's permission." Hongluan said anxiously, "Miss, don't provoke Old Madame at this time."
Xue Ao slightly curved his eyebrows and said cunningly, "Shh, if you don't let me out, I will sneak out. Don't make any noise."
Hongluan, "..."Seeing Xue Qian walk out of the courtyard, Hong Luan was worried and hurriedly followed him out.
Therefore, she watched the First Miss walk out of the gate in an open and aboveboard manner.
Didn't they agree to keep it a secret?
Hongluan had no other choice. She hurried to the carriage and asked the driver to drive the carriage out to pick up Mr. Xue. If Old Grandma knew that the First Miss went out like this, she would be even angrier. The Xue family could not do anything about it, but the more they behaved like this, the more the Old Madame cared about the rules and dignity.
First Miss didn't take a carriage with her maids when she went out, which was a slap in the face of the Lord Protector's Manor. If Madam Dowager knew it, she would die of anger.
"First Miss, please get in the car. Where are you going?" Hong Luan's carriage caught up with Xue Lin's.
Xue Qian really wanted to know when exactly he lived.
She tried and found that women could go out at will, which meant that this was not a crime. And they were all from the Central Plains, not the Yuan Dynasty.
Maybe it was in the Tang Dynasty, or before the Tang Dynasty.
It was more like a dynasty in a parallel space, not the history that Mr. Xue knew.
Xue Qian got on the carriage and said to Hong Luan, "Go to the street nearby and find a shop. "Hongluan was annoyed that she was disappointing, but when she heard her words at this moment, her heart ached as if it was being twisted by a knife.
"First Miss, you don't have to take it seriously. If you apologize to Old Madam, this matter will be over. Why do you have to do this? Old Madam doesn't like you to be so dirty. It's good for you to come and go, isn't it?" Hongluan tried to persuade her.
Hongluan was a hot-tempered girl. Sometimes, her words were unpleasant to hear, but in fact,she was very kind and soft-hearted.
"It's mainly because I can't apologize for others." Mr. Xue smiled helplessly. "The eldest daughter of your family is so angry that she committed suicide. I don't think she is willing to apologize."
Since she had taken his body, she could not let him continue to suffer.
Xue Qian had inherited all of the original owner's memories. She knew that she hated him.The hatred and jealousy in the original owner's heart were about to blow up.
If Xue Qian dared to apologize, the soul of the original owner would not be peaceful even if he died. Moreover, Xue Dong himself was not a pushover.
She had been an orphan since she was a child, so she had no idea about family affection. On the contrary, she had practiced cold-hearted martial arts in the orphanage.
There was no need to apologize helpless.
"Don't worry, you will have money. Don't cry." Xue Qian could only comfort her.
She really didn't know how to comfort her maid.
