Chapter 16 persuasion

It was already past midnight when I got home, but Hu Xueyan was still in good spirits, sitting by the dressing table watching sister Aqiao take off her makeup, and at the same time asked about their night out. "Let's eat the big dishes first. It's really not delicious. The fried quail is not as good as the fried eight pieces in the Beijing restaurant. There are two of us again, it's like—" Sister Aqiao shook her head, smiled wryly and refused to continue. like what?Hu Xueyan closed his eyes, trying to experience it as a "servant" on the scene.Such two guests, without the company of "official guests", dare to show their faces there and "wield their swords and guns" to eat big dishes. What is the way?According to their age and attire, they are like two excellent "heads" in Changsantangzi.

Sister Aqiao must be thinking like this, so she doesn't want to continue.Knowing this point, she naturally understands her state of mind, even if she does not yearn for Zhu Di, she does despise the brothel, she really has the sincerity of a good conscience. Because of this view, he felt that Sister Aqiao was more reluctant to let go, so he blurted out and asked, "How did Seventh Sister tell you?" "How can you tell me what?" Sister Aqiao stopped her hand that was untying her bun, "What will she say to me? You knew it beforehand, didn't you? Tell me, she won five dollars today. My master left me at home and suddenly wanted to invite me to a theater and dinner, what was the reason?"

This series of questions made Hu Xueyan's marksmanship chaotic and unable to parry.But he has one thing, he is good at covering up any embarrassment with a smile, and that embarrassment will never last too long, and he will calm down quickly. "I don't understand what you're talking about," he said, "I'm asking you, did Seventh Sister tell you why she asked you out to play on a whim? It seems that you don't know, so I don't know even more." "Even someone as smart as you doesn't know?" Sister Aqiao sneered slightly, "Then there is nothing to say."

"What's wrong with the couple chatting?" Sister Aqiao raised her head suddenly, her eyes piercing and clear, and forced Hu Xueyan: "Couple? Am I so lucky?" An unintentional sentence seems to be a handle.But it didn't bother Hu Xueyan, "Here we are husband and wife." He answered calmly. "So," she nodded, as if talking to herself, "I can't even listen to Grandma Qigu." "What did she say?" "She advised me to go back." The word "go back" can have two interpretations, one is to go back to her mother's house, and the other is to enter the gate of Hu's house as a side room.Her natal family is in Mudu, Suzhou, and Suzhou is in Changmao's hands at the moment, so there is no reason to persuade her to return to her natal home.

After you figured out what she said, you should ask her about her intentions, but if you don't ask, you don't need to do anything extra.After a long pause, a sentence burst out of his mouth: "I really have to look for a house tomorrow." His attitude was somewhat unpredictable.She remembered talking about looking for a house a few days ago, and hinted that she would live with the old woman, but she still has that kind of thought at this moment?Must ask. So she tentatively said: "If you really can't find it for a while, why not live here first." "Can't stay."

Does this mean that he couldn't live in the first place, or that he couldn't even live with her?Sister Aqiao still didn't understand, so she had to try again. "Squeeze for a while." She said, "Escape time doesn't matter so much." "how about you?" "Me?" Sister Aqiao said resolutely, "Move elsewhere." "Then why bother? It's better to be still than to move." Hu Xueyan thought for a while, and felt that it was better to explain the words, "I have the same thoughts as you, and it's best to act like this. I have already entrusted Grandma Qigu, wait for me When the wife comes, ask her to clear it up, say a few more kind words, and be especially accommodating once."

"That's weird!" Sister Aqiao was a little annoyed, "Grandma Qigu persuaded me to go back instead, which is completely opposite to what you entrusted her with. Why?" Hu Xueyan was deeply regretful, he was too negligent!Knowing what Grandma Qigu said to persuade her, she shouldn't tell the truth again, making it appear that Grandma Qigu is conspiring and unfaithful.At the same time, I was also reminded, really, what Grandma Qigu meant by doing this made people suspicious. However, no matter what, it is necessary to defend Grandma Qigu, "Maybe she was testing your tone first." He asked, "What did she say?"

"She said: 'Women's families always have a home, it's better to have the official surname Hu, and kowtow at the door. Otherwise, it's better to make a decision!'" "What do you mean 'take a decision'?" "You go ask her." Sister Aqiao's lazy tone showed that the so-called "decision" was a method she could never agree to.Hu Xueyan combined the words before and after to make a deliberation, and understood Grandma Qigu's thoughts, but why did she have such thoughts? "Grandma Qigu often has unexpected tricks in doing things. You don't have to be impatient, just calm down and take a look."

"When do you want to see it?" Sister Aqiao suddenly roared, her voice was high-pitched and high-pitched, "Do you know what Grandma Qigu said about you? Said you were slippery, said you had no instincts, and loved the other when you saw one! This kind of person My conscience was eaten by dogs, and I was advised to break up early, or I will suffer in the future. I think, what she said is right. Hmph! You don’t pay for your life if you cheat the dead.” Such a scolding with a gun and a stick made Hu Xueyan dizzy, and he could hardly believe his ears.Of course I was also very angry, it wasn't Sister Aqiao who was angry, but Grandma Qigu, not only was she conspiring and being unfaithful, she was simply betraying her friend.Such a friendship with each other, and yet such an insidious trick!This tone is really hard to swallow.

Hu Xueyan had never been so angry before, his face was blue and his lips were white with anger, and he was about to attack when he suddenly became alert. Grandma Qigu is known as the "husband of a woman", she is not a person without roughness in her chest, let alone a person who does not understand the loyalty of friends, she said so , of course there is her reasoning in it——this layer of reasoning must be extremely deep, so deep that even I can't figure it out.After thinking about it like this, his face immediately softened, and he asked first: "What else did Grandma Qigu say?"

"Say something?" Sister Aqiao is not only angry, but the more she thinks about it, the more she hates it. "It's not that you have a word for her, and you plan to abandon me, she will say such a thing! You have no conscience—" Suzhou woman She likes to call "kill a thousand swords", but after all, Sister Aqiao still has lingering feelings, so she swallowed these three words back. Hu Xueyan didn't make an excuse, because she didn't know what Grandma Qigu was up to, and she was afraid that an argument would destroy her intention.However, it was impossible not to argue, so I had to say vaguely: "Why do you listen to her?" "Then, who do I listen to? Listen to you?" Sister Aqiao insisted, "You tell me, but I will listen to you if you say something down-to-earth." What is meant by "speaking in a down-to-earth manner"?Hu Xueyan was a little confused, "Say it!" he asked, "What do you want me to say?" "Look at you! I knew you had a change of heart." Sister Aqiao stepped on her foot and said angrily, "Don't you know how to say it? But you just don't want to say it! Well, well, I finally know you." Jing Ye's scolding, startled the girl and aunt.There were many figures outside the window, who wanted to come in to persuade but did not dare, Hu Xueyan felt bored, stood up and persuaded: "It's late at night, go to sleep!" After speaking, he quietly moved towards the suite.There was also a bed there, which was used for occasional naps, and it happened to be used to escape the roar of the lion at this time. I turned on the lamp by myself and sat in deep thought. The girl and auntie saw that there was nothing wrong, and each retreated.Sister Aqiao ignored Hu Xueyan in anger, and went to bed by herself.Seeing this scene, Hu Xueyan didn't dare to provoke her, so he slept all night.The next day when she got up and walked out of the suite, Sister Aqiao was already sitting in front of the dressing table, not saying a word, her face was yellow and thin, and she looked thinner. If she looked carefully, there seemed to be traces of tears, and she was afraid that Ye Lai would cry on the pillow wet. "Why bother!" he said, "wasting yourself." "I've thought about it." Sister Aqiao said dumbly, "It's not an ending after all. What about you, I can't handle you either. Forget it, forget it!" While speaking, he waved his hands and turned his head to the side, as if to give up everything.Hu Xueyan couldn't help feeling sad, but he couldn't think of any appropriate words to comfort her. "I'm going to treat Boss Yu to dinner at noon today." He said, meaning to go out early. "You go." Sister Aqiao said, with a hint of indifference in her voice. Hu Xueyan was a little hesitant, and really wanted to say a word or two of comfort, but he really didn't have a proper meaning to express, so he had to forget it. It was only ten o'clock when we arrived at Gu's house, and Grandma Qigu had already got up, and she was energetically directing the servants and maids to prepare for the guests.The rosewood chairs in the hall are all covered with scarlet satin and flat gold embroidered chair covers, new flowers are placed in the vases, and dry and wet fruits are placed on eight high polished silver plates.The weather was fine that day, the courtyard was full of sunshine, and there was no wind, so all the screen doors and windows were opened, making it look very open and bright. "Grandpa came early! Have you eaten any snacks?" Grandma Qigu suddenly noticed, "Grandpa, you look very bad, do you feel unwell?" "No!" Hu Xueyan said, "I didn't sleep well last night." "Why?" Grandma Qigu added, "If you don't sleep all night, you won't make it like this. It makes sense, right?" "Yes. There is a reason for it." Hu Xueyan asked, "Where is Old Gu?" "To the cell. Come back at half past eleven." "It's still early for the guests. Is Seventh Sister okay? I'm fine. I have a few words to tell you." Grandma Qigu blinked her eyes a few times, and replied calmly, "It's nothing. Let's talk in Yingchun's study." When he arrived at the study, Hu Xueyan didn't speak, holding a bowl of tea, just lost in thought.Grandma Qigu had already guessed what was on his mind, if that was the case, the attack would have been too fast, and she needed to think carefully about what to say.So he didn't speak, and she was happy to keep silent. Finally he spoke: "Seventh Sister, Ah Qiao had a big fight with me last night." He asked, "What did you tell her?" Grandma Qigu didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "Why is she arguing with you?" "She said: I have a message for you, and I plan to let her go. Seventh sister, isn't this something that goes without a trace?" Grandma Qigu smiled, "What else?" She asked again. "Also," Hu Xueyan said with difficulty, "You said you called me slippery, and my conscience was eaten by dogs. You also said that I met one and fell in love with the other." Grandma Qigu laughed again, this smile seemed a little embarrassed, "Uncle," she said teasingly, "Are you angry?" "I was a little angry at first. Then I thought about it, and I was not angry anymore. I think you are not a person without hills and valleys. It makes sense to say it like this?" Hearing this, Grandma Qigu immediately had a look of relief and gratitude on her face, "Uncle, it's because you know my true heart that I dare to act recklessly like that—actually, I wasn't reckless, I discussed it with others beforehand. But, I’ve thought about it, and I think this is the best way to do it. However, I can’t tell you first, because if I say it, it won’t work.” She put aside this paragraph, and asked Sister Aqiao, “What does she say? Why? Arguing with you? Is it because you believed what I said?" "She believed that I gave you the word that she was going to leave her, that's why you said these things to her." Hu Xueyan said, "If it were me, I would think the same way, otherwise, with our friendship, how could you In front of her, scold me worthless?" "Not bad! Not bad at all." Grandma Qigu asked very concerned, "Uncle, what about you? Did you justify yourself?" "No." Hu Xueyan said, "Looking at the situation, it's useless to argue." Because of Hu Xueyan's imperceptibly encouraging and corresponding attitude, Grandma Qigu's determination cannot be changed.She accepted Liu Bucai's advice and considered the embarrassing situation between Sister Aqiao and Hu Xueyan from the perspective of the harmony of the Hu family, thinking that the best policy was to cut the mess quickly.But having said that, after all, you can't manipulate the situation by yourself, and at the same time, you can't tell Hu Xueyan first, so you can only play by ear, and say what you want to say. The first step is really a test.If Sister Aqiao didn't believe her, but only believed in Hu Xueyan, and took her criticism of Hu Xueyan's indiscretion and all kinds of "behind the scenes" that were close to luck, and laughed it off, and discarded it after hearing it, it would be difficult to sing the play.Or, Hu Xueyan has been deeply infatuated with Sister Aqiao, and he tried his best to explain that nothing happened. With Sister Aqiao's forgiveness, it will be even more difficult for this play to continue.Unexpectedly, Aqiao's suspicion of her words was due to Hu Xueyan's instruction, and Hu Xueyan was actually the default appearance. If this opportunity was lightly let go, wouldn't it be a disappointment to her heart? So, she straightened her face and tried to persuade her very solemnly: "Uncle! Sister Aqiao, you can't take it anymore. Bystanders know, I thought about it for you. If you refuse to let go, you will suffer endlessly." According to Grandma Qigu, Hu Xueyan has "four things not to do" to Sister Aqiao: first, if Sister Aqiao insists on "establishing a family" outside, it will damage Mrs. Hu's family law, and the couple will turn against each other; Even if Sister Aqiao is willing to "go back", it is very reluctant. If there is a grudge in her heart, there will be disharmony between wives and concubines; You should avoid suspicion.Otherwise, someone might say that he was just "presenting beauty and seeking glory", which is an extremely ugly reputation; fourth, sister Aqiao was born in a brothel and saw the big world in the governor's office. Can such a person follow Hu Xueyan? From the good to the end, it is really doubtful. "Uncle!" Finally, Qigu's grandma persuaded earnestly, "Once Hangzhou fell, and Wang Xuegong was martyred, your old roots will be broken, and your backing will be lost. In the future, it will be like restarting the stove, and you will really have to work hard. Only then can the previous scene be restored. If you are willing to guard like Fatty Zhang, and you are satisfied as long as your family is fed and clothed, then I have nothing to say. If you want to start a career, uncle, you must do it at this time. You can't make trouble about housework. Not only can't you make trouble about housework, but you also need your aunt to help you. You should think about the stakes in this!" Hu Xueyan felt that the previous "four don'ts" were nothing more than "take it for granted" alarmist talk, but the last sentence "don't make trouble with housework at this time" really made him terrified. "Seventh sister, you know, I'm not the kind of person like Zhang Fatty. I not only want to start a new career, but also want to make a big one. You reminded me that at this time, there is no other purpose. Time to do housework." "Yes!" Grandma Qigu rushed to say, "If you don't want to mess with housework, housework will come to you! If you can't push it away or drop it, that's called distress." "That's what I'm afraid of! It looks like I have to listen to you." "This is it! Thank goodness, Uncle, you finally figured it out." Grandma Qigu said happily, "Sister Aqiao is naturally good, but she is not the only one in the world! There will be more in the future." "The future!" Hu Xueyan paused, "It depends on the future. Seventh sister, let's have a good talk." What I want to talk about is how to deal with Sister Aqiao.When it comes to this level, Grandma Qigu can't help but hesitate, "To be honest," she said, "I still need to use my brain!" "Seventh sister," Hu Xueyan seemed very worried, "I have something to say now, you must promise me. You have to explain to me first what brains you have used." These words made Grandma Qigu feel a little uneasy, and also a little disgusted: "Yo! Yo! When you talk like this, it seems like I will hide it from you and push her into the fire pit." She tried hard to argue, "" Sister Aqiao and I have always gotten along very well, but now you are doing things for your little uncle, ignoring your conscience, and you seem to be complaining that I am arbitrarily acting—" "Seventh Sister, Seventh Sister!" Hu Xueyan didn't allow her to continue, and bowed her head, "I can't say 'a dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know a good heart', it's just that I feel sorry for her and want to make up for her. .” "Aren't I like this? Don't worry, I will never use her bad brains." Speaking of this, Grandma Qigu's eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time she burst into a smile, staring into space. This is an excellent brainstorm.Hu Xueyan didn't dare to disturb her, but he was very anxious!Longing for her to unravel the mystery. Qigu's grandma seemed to intend to take revenge: "I've almost thought about it. But, I'm sorry, I haven't done it yet. When I start doing it, I will definitely explain it to you, and you will definitely agree." "Seventh Sister!" Hu Xueyan said with an apologetic smile, "Why don't you tell me first?" "No, at least I have to wait until I think it over before I can tell you." Grandma Qigu said again, "I didn't mean to be tricky. I'm really not sure yet, so it's better not to say it for now." Hearing her flickering words, he didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.With her temperament, it was useless to ask again, so Hu Xueyan could only sigh and let it go. On the second day, Hu Xueyan went to see Grandma Qigu again, and it happened that Gu Yingchun was also there, talking about the upcoming arrival of the family, and the need to find a house, buy furniture, and prepare daily necessities, which could have been taken care of by sister Aqiao, but it seemed inconvenient at the moment trouble her. "It doesn't matter!" Grandma Qigu was the most enthusiastic and interested in these matters, and agreed generously, "Leave it all to me." Gu Yingchun, who was listening quietly, couldn't help being confused, "Why can't I ask Sister Aqiao for help?" He asked. "Of course it makes sense." Qi Gu's grandma hurriedly said, "I'll tell you later." "What kind of trick is it?" Gu Yingchun advised his wife, "Don't make any foolish ideas for my uncle. At this moment, the most important thing is the word quiet." "It's just for the sake of quietness." Grandma Qigu didn't want her husband to disturb her, and urged him, "It doesn't mean that someone treats you to flower wine, so you can go." "You have to wait for someone to invite you to eat flower wine. How could you rush there so early?" Gu Yingchun saw what his wife meant, and thought it was better to obey, so he struck up a conversation and said, "That's fine! I'll go first Go see a friend." "Slow down!" Grandma Qigu said, "I just remembered that once, Mr. Qin mentioned that his relatives had a house on Sanma Road, and they could sell it or lease it. You might as well go and ask for my uncle. " Mr. Qin is the accountant in her house.Gu Yingchun obeyed the order and promised to go to see Mr. Qin immediately and ask Hu Xueyan the next day to hear the news. "How about it," Grandma Qigu said, "You simply ask Mr. Qin to come over early tomorrow morning." "Probably asked him to write a letter again." Gu Yingchun said, "If I'm free tonight, I'll ask him to come." So Grandma Qigu waited for her husband to leave, and then talked to Hu Xueyan about Sister Aqiao again, "Uncle," she asked, "Your decision is made? Will you regret it in the future and blame me behind your back for beating the couple?" "How can there be such a thing? Seventh sister still doesn't understand my temper?" "I know, my uncle has a temper of not regretting what he said. However, I'd better ask. Since my uncle has made up his mind, I'm going to do it tomorrow. Just pretend you don't know, If you see something strange, just put it in your stomach." "I understand!" Hu Xueyan asked, "If she wants to force me to ask, how about me?" "I won't force you to ask, everything remains the same, nothing has changed, what did she ask?" "Okay! That's what we Hangzhou people say: 'Watch the fire on Chenghuang Mountain!' I just wait and see the excitement." If it weren't for the deep friendship, this sentence would be ironic.However, Grandma Qigu still reminded him not to think that he was already out of the matter.Once the fire is on fire, it may be frightening and involuntary. At that time, you must have the strength to turn a blind eye. Don't lose your composure temporarily and insert yourself sideways. "If that happens," she said, "it will get me burned, and I will suffer too. In a word, no matter what Sister Aqiao says, don't pay attention to her!" It turned out that Qigu's grandma thought of an idea when Hu Xueyan wanted to buy a house, and decided to use this opportunity to stimulate Aqiao sister, so that she could get angry and get rid of her.However, there may be great disturbances, so a special warning is issued. The purchase of a house went well.The house that Mr. Qin introduced was located on Sanma Road near the famous Rijinli. Although it is a busy city, the house is grand and deep, and the gate can be closed to isolate it from the hustle and bustle of the city.Hu Xueyan was very fond of it, and the asking price was not expensive, only Yingyang 2,500 yuan, so the deal was made on the same day. Grandma Qigu was very enthusiastic, "Uncle," she said, "give me another thousand yuan, and I will take care of everything. You can do your own business for these three days, and come to see it on the fourth day. What's it like?" "What else is there to say? But, Seventh Sister, it's too much trouble for you!" Hu Xueyan knew her temper, so it was enough to say something polite.If she felt that she was too tired and uneasy, sending someone to share the work for her would make her unhappy, so she gave her a thousand silver dollars and ignored it.Taking advantage of these three days, I checked the accounts in my own bank and asked about the business, but I actually did something. On the third day, when I returned home from the Fukang Bank in Jixianli, I saw Sister Aqiao with a smooth head and smeared lips. She must have been dressed up, but she was wearing homely clothes. return. "I just came back. I went to see Grandma Qigu." Sister Aqiao said, "The house on Sanma Road is so beautiful!" The tone was very calm, but in Hu Xueyan's ears, it seemed that he was accusing him of hiding her taste, so he was a little embarrassed. "Grandma Qigu asked me: Is the house good? Naturally, I said yes. She asked me if I wanted to live there, how would I answer her? I said: I don't have such a blessing." Hu Xueyan originally wanted to answer: I'm afraid I don't have this blessing.When he was on the verge of speaking, he suddenly shrank again, and replied in a casual tone: "How lucky is it to live in this so-called 'along house' in the barbarian field? Planting a cave of heaven and earth, really needs to be cultivated in the previous life." Sister Aqiao remained silent, she sat in front of the dressing table to take off her jewelry, Hu Xueyan was served by the girl, she took off her jacket, put on her slippers, and sat in front of the window drinking tea. "I see," Sister Aqiao said suddenly, "I'll work on the afterlife!" "We will be husband and wife in the next life." Hu Xueyan blurted out. Sister Aqiao's color has changed drastically—in Hu Xueyan's mind, since she refuses to marry the concubine of the Hu family in this life, she can only hope that in the next life, she will be monogamous and live forever.But Miss Aqiao misunderstood! "I was wondering why Grandma Qigu said those things? Sure enough, you have changed your mind! You can say it yourself if you have something to say, why bother to beat around the bush?" Hu Xueyan knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, but he really couldn't blame himself. He had asked Grandma Qigu that day, if Aqiao was forced to ask about her whereabouts, how would she answer.Grandma Qigu thinks that "everything remains the same, nothing has changed", so she won't ask.Looking at it now, the situation is different!Now that the new house has been seen by her, the "change" has already begun, and she will keep asking in the future, but she can't make her resentful just like this moment. It seems that we still have to use our own brains to deal with it!He said this to himself, and immediately observed her attitude very carefully.Why didn't she think about it for herself, she refused to live with the old woman, it was against the common sense, and it was difficult for her, but she kept accusing him of changing his mind?Could it be that she herself had the intention to go to court, but she just couldn't say it out loud, and she deliberately tried to blame and persecute her in this way, trying to put the responsibility for the breakup on him? This is an idea that seems almost absurd.Hu Xueyan asked himself: Are you really a villain at heart?not necessarily!Sister Aqiao had also fallen in love with He Guiqing at the beginning, but later on, no matter what, she always betrayed her heart, and she betrayed her heart when He Guiqing was in trouble.From this point of view, it seems too naive to regard her as a "gentleman". At this thought, he himself felt hard-hearted, and said in a calm, almost indifferent voice: "I have nothing to say. If you are willing to practice in the next life, of course I can only hope to be husband and wife again in the next life." .” "You mean, you don't want me in this life?" Sister Aqiao turned her face, stared at him and asked. He averted his eyes, "I didn't say that, but—" He didn't say any more. "Speak! Manly man, don't hesitate to speak!" Meeting his tone and tone, if she was willing to be wronged and settle the matter, she would shed tears at most and would not ask questions. Since she asked, she would not hesitate to ruin her face.Hu Xueyan felt that it was enough to understand her attitude, and there was no need to get angry with her at this time—it's better never to get embarrassed, and it's easy to come and go! So he said with a smile: "We are not three-year-old or two-year-old children. This appearance is a joke for the people below, why bother?" "Hmph!" Sister Ah Qiao sneered, but she still turned her face and took off her makeup in the mirror.Hu Xueyan felt very bored.This feeling has never been felt before. He doesn't spend much time at home, so when he returns home, whenever he sees Aqiao's shadow, he feels that this is the most comfortable home in the world, and he refuses to go out again as a last resort.But at this moment, he thought of where to go for a walk, even if it was just on the street. As soon as this thought moved, I couldn't restrain it. I stood up and said, "I have to go out for a while." After saying this, I felt apologetic, so I asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you." Sister Aqiao just shook her head, as if she didn't even bother to say anything.Hu Xueyan felt chills running down his back, so he walked straight away, wearing the pair of sandals and the mandarin jacket, and went downstairs. Walking out of the gate, he couldn't help but feel at a loss, "Sedan Class" Ah Fu rushed over and asked, "Where is the master going? I'll call someone." There were four people in the sedan chair class, because Hu Xueyan had said when he came home that he would not go out tonight, so the three people who lived in Fukang Bank had left, and only Ah Fu was left at home. "No need!" Hu Xueyan waved his hand and walked out of the alley. Walking around in a daze, feeling down, thinking about something interesting, but it was Sister Aqiao who couldn't let go of it.Looking forward to the beautiful eyes, smiling sweetly, those shadows are all in front of my eyes, and Wu Nong's soft words, as beautiful as a warbler, also ring clearly in my ears.Suddenly, Hu Xueyan felt deep remorse, turned around and left, and walked extremely fast. When I got home, I saw that the door on the wall of the stone storehouse had been closed. I knocked on the copper ring a few times, but it was Ah Fu who opened the door. "Where's grandma?" He pointed to the dark bedroom and asked the girl Suxiang who came out from another room. "Grandma is out." "Where?" "did not say." "When did you leave?" "As soon as the master left, grandma said she was going out." Suxiang replied, "I asked, but grandma scolded me: mind your own business." "Then, how did you get there?" Hu Xueyan asked, "Why didn't you go with me?" "Grandma didn't want me to follow, she said she would be back soon. I said: Do you want to hire a sedan chair? She said that she would hire one at the entrance of the alley." Hu Xueyan was very disappointed and full of doubts. He originally wanted to tell Sister Aqiao: "Everything remains the same, nothing has changed." No matter what Mrs. Hu said, he decided to maintain this outer room.Unless Sister Aqiao is willing to choose someone else, he will never change her mind.All these hot thoughts are now sinking into the abyss.And I feel that Aqiao's whereabouts are deeply suspicious. Suxiang is her close-knit girl, and she is always with her when she goes out, but she doesn't take her with her. It can be seen that the place she is going to is a place that Suxiang can't go to, or in other words, She even wanted to hide it from Suxiang. Realizing this, there was unspeakable bitterness and depression in my heart, and I stood in the living room, speechless for a long time.This made Suxiang a little scared, and asked timidly: "Master! Are you eating at home? I'll take care of the kitchen." "I'm not hungry!" Hu Xueyan asked, "Where is Ah Xiang?" "Xiang, go out." "Out! Where?" "I have to—" Suxiang said hesitantly, "I have to ask Ah Fu." This demeanor was also quite suspicious, Hu Xueyan couldn't help getting angry, but calmed down in a flash, "Your name is Ah Fulai!" he said.
