Soft-waisted little maid

One day later will be the day when Sun Zan leaves for Hangzhou.

Everyone in the mansion had already prepared all the necessary matters, so Sun Zan had some free time that day. After meeting his elders in the morning, he walked to the servant's yard by accident.

It's not time to rest yet, and the yard is quiet. When the autumn wind sweeps through the dense rows of bamboo trees in the yard, it makes a thin and sparse sound. Occasionally, it brings down a few bamboo leaves and sweeps them down in the yard. There are ripples rolling up on the two jars of water on display.

Sun Zan stood at the door for a while, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but Xue Ke came out, and his eyes were startled when he saw him: "Third Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Zan touched the back of his ear with a somewhat unnatural expression, thought for a moment, and replied: "I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll see if you're ready."

The snow guest who heard this looked a little surprised, as if he didn't know what he said.

He quickly explained: "I don't think anyone has come to inform you yet. Aunt Guan was punished a few days ago. Grandma thought that Xiaoyu should stay and take care of her, so she made the decision with father to let you go to Hangzhou Mansion with me." He was afraid that she would be anxious. , further elaborated, "Don't worry, you only need a few pieces of your own clothes, and the rest can be bought in Hangzhou."

Xue Ke nodded obediently, but his expression showed no sign of whether he was happy or unhappy about it. He only said, "I understand, this slave."

Sun Zan didn't expect her to react like this, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but blame himself——

This is nothing. If you have to come here and say it in person early in the morning, you must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

He cleared his throat to cover up his slight disappointment and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

But just as he was about to turn around, he was caught off guard and his sleeve was pulled by the snow guest behind him.

Her face, as cute and soft as a snow dumpling, suddenly squeezed out a flattering smile, like a kitten asking for pampering. She smiled casually, but it seemed like she had bumped into Sun Zan.

His ears turned red and he stared at her blankly, unable to react for a long time.

Xue Ke didn't notice anything was wrong with him, and just continued to ask in a charming voice: "Does the third young master have anything else to do today? If you have time, can you accompany me for a walk?"

Sun Zan's Adam's apple rolled, and he said stiffly: "Okay."
.
Ever since He Chengxiang's accident, almost no one came to Grandma Shang's yard.Originally, the man named He was not popular with others, but now there are reports everywhere that he got into trouble, offended his master, took money and ran away, and no one dared to come here for fear of getting into trouble.

Only my concubine and Fourth Master occasionally came back to see her, bought her medicine, and bought some new things, so they could barely live a life. However, people were getting thinner because of excessive worries. A few days ago, Fourth Master gave her When the doctor was invited to see her, every finger was black and she almost didn't live long.

When someone knocked on the door outside, she was still leaning on the bed, her ears not working properly. It wasn't until the second knock on the door that she reacted for a while, then sat up straight and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mom, it's me." The person outside replied, "Xue'er."

"Come in, come in!" She was anxious, and hurriedly stood up to greet her, but her legs were weak, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was helped up by a pair of hands in front of her. She was about to thank her, but she just saw The man from Qing Dynasty was shocked: "Third Young Master? Why are you here?"

Sun Zan helped her sit down at the table.In fact, he himself didn't understand why he followed her here, not to mention that Shang's son had just done such a thing to her. But then he thought about it, how could Shang be her only relative? In front of the door, you always have to report to the family, and the maids in the back house are not allowed to walk between the two houses at will. It is not difficult to understand that she asked herself to accompany her.

"I'll wait for you outside?" As soon as Sun Zan finished speaking, he was pulled by Xue Ke and sat down along the table.

She made a sip of tea for Sun Zan and said: "Third Young Master, my mother used to be from Xikou, and the old lady likes the Thousand Layer Pancakes the most. It's a pity that she is sick now, otherwise it would be rare for you to come over, so that you can try it." taste"

Then she chatted with Mr. Shang about her illness and her life in the second-bedroom courtyard a while ago, as if chatting about everyday things. Sun Zan just listened silently by the side, and she didn't think anything was wrong, but Mr. Shang Shi's face looked uncomfortable, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Xu Shi really couldn't speak in front of Sun Zan, so Shang kept hesitating. Finally, when Xue Ke had finished speaking, he finally plucked up the courage to say, "Xue'er, you should blame your mother. She was raped by lard." I've been deceived, you blame mother, mother can feel better." Before she finished speaking, her eye circles were already red.

Sun Zan glanced at Xue Ke, but saw that she was still smiling lightly, lowered her head and sighed: "Mom, I didn't come to see you today to make you feel better."

Even Sun Zan didn't react to this sudden reversal, and Shang was completely stunned: "This"

Xue Ke continued talking to himself: "Mom, it was you who saved me and raised me. No matter what, the fact that you are my mother will never change. However, even if you are my mother and you do something wrong, It means you did something wrong. Because you did something wrong, you are afraid that I will blame you and that I will abandon you. Aren't these things you should bear?"

"Koko-niang is doing this for your own good." Shang's voice weakened.

"Mom, that's what parents say. It's for the good of your children. You do it for the good of your useless son. Now, how about you ask him? Besides, you said you would marry me to him for my own good. Do you think I'm happy? Is it really for me?"

Shang stopped talking and lowered his head, not daring to look into Xue Ke's eyes.

"Mom, it's not like parents can make more correct decisions than their children after they have been alive for a long time. What's more, you are not me, how do you know what I want?" Seeing Shang's lowered head. She must have listened, Xue Ke stopped talking, left the money for her, and said, "You are recovering from illness, so you don't have to worry about my affairs."

Then she glanced at Sun Zan, and the two stood up and left.

Just as he walked outside the door, he heard Shang behind him raising his voice and asking: "Xue'er, are you coming back to see my mother?"

Sun Zan looked at Xue Ke and saw that she nodded slightly, but Shang behind her might not be able to see it.

The two walked side by side along the path for a while. The place was deserted, except for a small abandoned garden. They could not meet anyone else. They walked like this, as if they had forgotten the difference in status and family status between them for a moment.

Sun Zan suddenly asked: "You brought me here today. Do you have something you want to tell me?"
