Chapter 10 Famous Flowers Change Owners

After these people leave, Sister Aqiao can show up.Hu Xueyan felt that it was time to explain everything to her, so he thought for a while and asked, "Ah Qiao, how about I be a matchmaker for you?" He deliberately used this abrupt statement, in order to turn Sister Aqiao's mind away from the beginning.This is not something that can be done all at once. The person being asked blinked his flexible eyes, and he had to figure out what he meant before he thought of a good answer. "What do you mean by that?" She shook her head, her pair of emerald jade earrings dangling non-stop, "I really don't understand."

"Are you taking me for a joke?" "I don't know." Sister Aqiao replied, "Anyway, I have taught you, and you have so many tricks that Zhuge Liang can't figure it out." Hu Xueyan smiled: "Are you praising me or scolding me?" "I'm not flattering or scolding, I'm telling the truth." "What I told you is also the truth." Hu Xueyan restrained his smile and said solemnly, "The matchmaking I made for you will make you happy. In the future, you will also think of my benefits. When you can speak for me, you must speak for me." say."

These few words were spoken quite straightforwardly and quite clearly. Sister Aqiao quickly understood, especially the six words "to make your heart happy" hit my heart very comfortably.However, what kind of person is it?Without her asking, Hu Xueyan would also say: "This person, you have met before, is Mr. Xuetai He." Hearing that it was this person, Sister Aqiao couldn't help but her face became hot, and her heart beat violently.She also wanted to hide it, to put on an indifferent expression, but her eyes couldn't hide from Hu Xueyan, who was staring like a torch. "How?" He deliberately asked, "Master He is really a white-faced scholar, a handsome man who is famous in the officialdom. He will be released soon after he enters Beijing. I heard that the eldest wife is not in good health. If something happens, maybe After holding you upright, isn't it just Mrs. Zhang Yin who is sitting in a sedan chair with eight carriages?"

How interesting that is!Sister Aqiao was elated, and a smile could not help but bloom on the corner of her mouth.It's just that the smile was fleeting, because Aqiao's sister suddenly became alert, and the matter was too abrupt, probably because Hu Xueyan deliberately tried it out, if he believed it to be true, it would be a huge story when it was exposed.You can joke about other things, but this matter is definitely not a joke. If you are too naive and honest, it will be difficult to be a man in the future! In such a flash, he couldn't help feeling sullen, sneered, and retreated to the alley behind the bed curtain to change clothes.

Seeing her sudden change of attitude, Hu Xueyan was naturally surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood.It's no wonder she said, "You don't believe what I say, do you?" He asked calmly, "What do you have to do to believe me?" This is exactly what Sister Aqiao is asking herself.It's just that I don't know how to prove the truth of this matter. At this moment, I have to show that I don't care about it at all, so that I can stand firm.Therefore, she deliberately replied in an impatient voice: "I don't know. Don't talk to me."

It's a bit nerve-wracking to say that the water can't get in like this.Hu Xueyan was pacing and thinking, and then there was a sentence that could convince her that he was not joking with her.Anyway, whether it is true or not, things will always come to light. If you have to say something, you might as well say it first at this time, she will remember it in her heart, and the moment she believes it is true, these words will have an effect. So he "talked to himself" about everything about He Guiqing and the steps he was going to take, and at the end he had to ask again: "Now it depends on what you mean?"

Sister Aqiao had already changed her clothes, she purposely hid behind the bed and did not show up, she sat there and listened to what he said, vividly, and her mind became active again.It's just that my own attitude still refuses to express it, and the word "pretend" remains unchanged. "What do I mean?" She came out gracefully, folded her clothes and replied, "I don't know." Hu Xueyan knew that it would be useless to force him any more, but it would be of some use if he could only lose a fortune, so he pretended to be disappointed and said, "Since you are unwilling, then there is nothing you can do. Anything can be forced, and this matter must be consensual. Fortunately, I didn't tell the truth on that side, otherwise it would make the two sides inhuman."

Upon hearing this, sister Aqiao was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, isn't it self-defeating?But if you honestly say "yes", you will pretend for a long time, and all previous efforts will be wasted.In a dilemma, I came up with a plan and tried my best to search my memory. I thought about being a child bride-in-law at the age of seven, being abused by her mother-in-law, having chilblains in winter and having to wash coarse clothes in cold water, and being bitten by mosquitoes all night in the woodshed in summer. The pain of not being able to sleep gradually made my heart ache, my eye sockets became hot, and I cried out sobbingly.

The tears of a beautiful woman are extremely powerful. Hu Xueyan has everything he can do, but he was afraid of such tears. At that time, he asked in shock, "Hey, what's going on? What grievances are there to talk about? What are you crying about?" "Where can I talk about my grievances?" Sister Aqiao took the opportunity to answer, with endless resentment, "People like us are not the playthings of rich men, like cats, like caged birds, happy Bought it for money, and gave it away when I was tired of playing! Tell her to go east, but dare not go west, what else can I say?"

"You have no conscience in what you said." Hu Xueyan became anxious, "I'm doing it for your own good." "Who knows if it's bad or good? Just think about it, you talk to yourself when you do things, you never discuss with others, and you say it's for my own good!" This refers to something, referring to the thing that Zhou Yiming went to do.Hu Xueyan felt that he was wronged, so he had no choice but to keep silent. Silence brings calmness, and only calmness can appreciate it. Thinking about Aqiao's words carefully, it seems to be rebellious but actually smooth, or it can be said that it seems to be resentful but actually happy. She is already very willing in her heart, but she has to retreat Go in and make a fuss.This is human nature, and it may even be considered that she still has a "conscience". If she must be forced to say: If she is willing to be the concubine of the He family, not only is it impossible, but what is the point of being possible?

After thinking through this layer, she didn't realize that her tears were so great.Hu Xueyan was thinking in her heart that she must win her favor at this moment, and let her leave a thought of gratitude to herself, so that in the future she will always think of her own interests with He Guiqing.He remembered the story of Qin Shihuang's life experience that Ji Heling had told, and he was a bit like Lu Buwei, so he laughed unconsciously. "When others cry, you laugh!" Sister Aqiao was still putting on airs, her eyes were blank, and she pouted, "Men are the most heartless, and it really makes people see through." "Yes!" Hu Xueyan said following her tone, "I also admit this sentence. But men are also very smart, and they are not good at killing people. When it is time to speak of conscience, it is better to speak of conscience." Sister Aqiao didn't answer, she wiped her tears and poured a cup of hot tea for herself. As soon as the tea was brought to her lips, she suddenly felt that this was unreasonable, so she put the cup of tea in front of Hu Xueyan, and poured another cup herself. "Aqiao!" Hu Xueyan asked leisurely while drinking tea, "Who else is there in your family?" "I didn't tell you, an old lady, a brother." "How old is brother, and what do you do for a living?" "Brother is eighteen years old and is studying business in a cloth shop." "Have you ever asked for marriage?" "There is no 'full teacher' yet, how can we talk about this?" Sister Aqiao said, "Besides, begging for a marriage is not an easy task." "It's nothing difficult. Ah Qiao," Hu Xueyan said, "I'll give you another thousand silver. You can find a proper bank to save it. You can keep your capital and supplement your family. In the future, when your brother is full of teachers, you can ask for a marriage." Well, whether you set up a small cloth shop yourself, it’s all on the thousand silver.” Sister Aqiao took a look at him and blinked silently.Hu Xueyan thought that she didn't believe what he said, so he generously took out a thousand taels of silver and stuffed it into her hand. "You really want to help me?" "What's so fake about this?" Hu Xueyan laughed, "Do you really think I have no conscience?" "I'm just talking! People's hearts are made of flesh. If you treat me well, don't I know?" Sister Aqiao said again, "You really want to help me, don't help me like this." "Then how can I help?" "My brother is very smart and not ugly. In our town, he is a well-known pretty little official—" "You don't need to talk about it." Hu Xueyan smiled, "Looking at my sister, I know that a brother must be very handsome." "It's not the delicate kind of sissy, it's tall and big, and it looks good when it stands out. I don't want to talk about him, I'm thinking, if you are willing to take care of my brother, I will ask him to come out and follow you , isn’t it better than studying business in our small place?” With that, he returned the silver ticket. "I see! Yes, yes. I will definitely promote your brother, as long as he is willing to make progress. You still keep the money, count it as the 'coffin book' I gave your mother." Knowing that you are welcome with Hu Xueyan, but sister Aqiao always felt that it was inconvenient to accept, so she said: "I will kowtow to thank you for my mother. The money will be kept with you for the time being." "No! You'd better keep it yourself." Sister Aqiao refused, and neither did he, so he took the bank note and stuffed it into her pocket.She was wearing a satin jacket, she put her hands into her arms, she was extremely soft, her heart couldn't help being filled with thoughts, but she was a little regretful, it was really not willing to send such a person away. Therefore, he was speechless for a while, his heart was up and down, and his thoughts were extremely chaotic.Of course Aqiao guessed that he couldn't figure it out, so she mentioned her brother's matter again. "My brother's nickname is Ah Shun. Look, when will you call him out?" Hu Xueyan made up his mind and said: "The student's intention is to write the 'closed letter', and you can't just leave. It doesn't matter to me, just come anytime." Sister Aqiao also knew about this, but she had one thousand taels of silver with her, so she was confident, so she replied, "It doesn't matter, I will make arrangements for it." "Very well. You write and ask him to come out." Sister Aqiao thought to herself, besides this matter, she still has a lot of things to say to her family, so why not go back again, so she changed her mind and asked, "When are you leaving?" "The work has been delayed. When the old man returns to the city on Monday, if your affairs have been settled, I will leave early tomorrow morning." "Then," sister Aqiao said disconsolately, "it's too late." "How about it?" "If you still have a day or two of delay, I'd like to go back. Now, of course, there's no need to talk about it." After this short period of time, Hu Xueyan's thoughts have been settled, his words have been spoken, and there is absolutely no reason to regret it.That being the case, it might be a good idea to change the original plan to let Sister Aqiao still live in Pan's house. "This is what I was thinking. You must not be criticized when doing things outside. From now on, you are considered a member of He Xuetai, and it is inconvenient for us to live together again, otherwise it is shameful. I originally wanted you to live in Pan family, now you can see for yourself, you can live in your mother's house." Sister Aqiao was quite surprised by these words. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Hu Xueyan was really different in doing things, with meticulous thoughts and beautiful techniques.Since he said so, he would also occupy his status in front of He Guiqing in the future, so there was no need to say anything more. After thinking about it again, this expression seems to have no nostalgia, as if it has no conscience, so I still have to explain it in one sentence, which is difficult, and I can't say: Anyway, I haven't arrived at He's house yet, so why not live together ?Doesn't that become the behavior in the hall?Even in the hall, if the girl agrees to marry a guest, she has to "sign up" immediately, and it cannot be said that she can still receive guests before she goes out.But what if you don't say that? Finally, I came up with a sentence: "If a person talks about his heart, walks upright, sits upright, what are we afraid of? Anyway, we know it ourselves." "That's not the case. Suspicions must be avoided." Hu Xueyan said again, "I will ask Lao Zhou to send you back tomorrow. You will stay in the country for two days. If you feel bored, you can go back to Pan's house, or go to Shanghai. It’s okay to come and play for a few days. Anyway, to me, from now on, I’ll treat you as Mrs. He’s wife!” Hu Xueyan's words built a fence between himself and Sister Aqiao. Both of them felt that they should be polite, so their words and deeds suddenly became polite and unfamiliar. Getting along like this made me feel restrained, so Hu Xueyan said, "Go back to Pan's house, I'll send you there." "how about you?" "I," Hu Xueyan replied casually, in a daze, "I'm wandering around the city." Sister Aqiao really wanted to say something and accompany him for a stroll around the city.But when he thought of his identity as "Mrs. He's Aunt", it was difficult to say those words, and he couldn't help but hesitate to express his concern. "How about it, let's go early!" "Not busy! I'll sit down for a while." Sitting bored, I had to find something to say. Sister Aqiao talked about the gentry's family in Suzhou, from Fupan to Guipan, and from Guipan to "the number one prime minister". Suzhou is a place where high officials are born. Can't stop talking.Seeing that it was getting late, it would not be appropriate to disturb the Pan family at night.Hu Xueyan urged Sister Aqiao to go to the city and sent her to Pan's house, agreeing to meet again the next day, Hu Xueyan didn't disturb the master anymore, and left alone.
