Chapter 193 Chapter 076 The Reason for Betrayal
Section 076 Reasons for Betrayal
Today is February [-]th, which is the time when spring returns and the land is waiting for prosperity, but Suqu County is cold and lonely.Anxiu was walking on the street, Nangong followed behind her.The willows on both sides of the street grew tender yellow leaves, flying catkins, and fluttered towards the faces of Anxiu and Nangong.

Today's weather is neither good nor bad, the sky is full of floating clouds, which often cover the warm sunshine, which is really annoying.

The streets are deserted, and occasionally a few passers-by walk in a hurry, as if rushing home to hide.

Not far away, a girl walked slowly, holding a big bamboo basket in her hand.The bamboo basket contained clothes washed from the river water, and the girl's cheeks and hands were flushed from the cold.The wooden hairpin was not worn, she was dressed in plain coarse cloth, and her face was a little pale.But with her small chin and round eyes, she was clearly an extremely beautiful woman.

Seeing An Xiu, the woman was stunned for a moment, then continued to kneel down: "The untouchables have seen Lord Hou!"

I know Anxiu emotionally.

Anxiu smiled: "Get up, you don't need to do such a great gift!"

The woman got up and turned to leave when the gate at the corner of the street opened suddenly, and a fat woman came out, rushing over and scolding loudly: "Xin'er, why did you come back? My old lady thought you died by the river! You son of a bitch! , I can’t even do this little thing well, is my mother feeding you for nothing?”

Xiner?

Anxiu suddenly remembered something.No wonder this woman called herself a pariah, but it turned out that she was a slave.Anxiu remembered her first night with He Shusheng, He Shusheng was very skilled, Anxiu slapped him because he was raising a woman outside.That woman is his friend's best friend, she's a high-spirited lady who does not sell herself, she is called Xin'er!
Anxiu couldn't help but glanced at this woman again, her waist was graceful, and even though she was carrying a heavy clothes basket, her walking pace was also very particular, her steps were small and regular, she was indeed trained.

The old woman was full of fat, and her steps were extremely fast.Although the clothes on the head and body are not good things, they are extremely elegant and showy, and it can be seen that they are working for a bustard or something.So this Xin'er is still the "home" Qingwan?
"Household" Qingmen are somewhat more expensive than those in kilns, and the price is also higher.They will have an extremely exquisite small courtyard, with a mother, a maid and several "sisters" at home.The number of sisters is only three or five, and all of them are talented and beautiful.

Usually good-looking, "living in the house" is going to starve to death.

According to modern economics, "home" is a seller's market, and the supply exceeds demand, so the price of the goods will naturally increase.

The woman rushed to Xin'er's side and pinched her arm hard: "You little hoof, I told you to wash some clothes, and it took me so long to come back, are you sincerely lazy? What's the use of raising you, little hoof? I couldn't keep Master He at the beginning. , now I can’t keep Mr. Wu. I have a high heart, and I don’t want to serve other masters. Now I can’t even wash my clothes well. I think I sold you as soon as possible, so I can fulfill your wish!”

Xin'er still lowered her head, not saying a word of excuse, but clenched her teeth stubbornly.Looking at this girl, Anxiu suddenly felt that she was like herself, no matter how difficult life was, she was always clenching her teeth and not wanting others to see her dissatisfaction.Even if you are down, don't complain.

Sure enough, he has backbone.

Seeing that An Xiu could see her background from the side, the old woman's anger immediately spread to An Xiu: "What are you looking at? I've seen a lot of rich and powerful men, dressed like dogs, what are you pretending to be? Play for real money!"

Xin'er raised her eyes and looked at her mother in amazement.

Nangong took a step forward and shouted sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is Marquis Ning Nan! Why don't you kneel down and die!"

The old woman was so angry today that she hadn't had any business for almost half a month, and the rich and powerful people had all fled, and the high-priced "residential" ladies like them were unwilling to accept ordinary customers.My mother is also afraid that they will lose their value and become worthless if they pick up ordinary customers!
But which food and lodging at home, rouge and gouache do not need to be spent?Xin'er has been going crazy for some reason recently, she's always listless, the market is not booming, the old mother can't afford the living expenses of the ladies, so she dismissed the maids and old mothers, and let Xin'er take care of them alone.

Seeing that Xin'er didn't come back after washing her clothes for a long time, the old mother suddenly became angry when she thought of her unsatisfactory livelihood. How could she take a closer look at An Xiu's appearance?Nangong said she was Marquis of Ningnan, and the old mother took a closer look, she was indeed a woman disguised as a man, she was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she knelt down in front of Anxiu with a plop: "Please forgive me, please forgive me! I don’t see that it is the Lord, I beg the Lord to punish... I beg the Lord to punish..."

Anxiu didn't speak, just quietly watched the old woman kowtow.These people have always been crazy, but they didn't know that being crazy also needs capital, but seeing her head pounding heavily on the cold road until bloodshot eyes appeared on her forehead, An Xiucai said: "Get up!"

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up: "Thank you Lord for your life, thank you Lord for your life! Lord... this maid has served Master He before, if you like her, she will be yours!"

Anxiu thought, what would she want a prostitute for?And what is this old lady thinking?Do you think that Xin'er was with He Shusheng, so Anxiu hates Xin'er?

Anxiu doesn't hate her, and Xin'er is also a poor woman.It was because of bad luck that she became a prostitute and became a plaything, but she still maintained a backbone that she shouldn't have. It is also sad that such a woman is pitiful and respectable.In many cases, there is nothing wrong with having backbone, but you need to understand the value of backbone.

"The weather is a bit chilly, is there good wine at mother's house?" Anxiu said with a smile, "This Marquis will not steal my mother's love, and will not take Miss Xin'er back. It's just that it's rare to meet, and Ben Hou wants to be with Xiner." The girl is talking gossip..."

"Yes, yes! It has the best fragrance of rice flowers!" The old lady said quickly, "Sit in the main room, sit in the room!"

Anxiu followed them and walked a few steps forward, and it was their courtyard. There was a plaque made of white marble, with the words "Zhu Hua Nong" engraved on the door, the characters were like silver hooks and iron paintings, extremely elegant.

Seeing Anxiu looking at the door plaque, the old mother hurriedly laughed and said, "My lord, this is written by Master Wu himself, and I asked someone to cut it!"

Anxiu just said that Master Wu should be Wu Mingying, smiled, and said: "Very good words, next time I meet Master Wu, ask him to write a few for Benhou..."

The old mother smiled and led Anxiu into the yard.It is an exquisite small courtyard with five main rooms and two small side rooms. There is an ancient plum tree in the middle of the courtyard.There are no plums in this season, and there are a little green buds on the branches, which means that the green leaves have not yet been fully stretched.

Xin'er put the bamboo basket on the stone table in the courtyard, and whispered to Anxiu: "Master, please..."

Lifting the heavy curtain, the room smells of fragrance, like the smell of rosemary, very warm and comfortable.

Xin'er put the incense burner on the table to the window sill, and pushed open the window sill, the cold wind rushed in, diluting the fragrance in the room a bit, Xin'er whispered: "I haven't been able to sleep well recently, so I lighted some scented incense burners." Rosemary, the Lord is not used to smelling it, right?"

"It smells good!" An Xiu said, she also knew that rosemary has a calming effect.

Xin'er smiled.Anxiu looked at her room, and found it very small. There was a canopy bed, with carved wooden railings around the bed, and elegant curtains.The quilts are neatly stacked, and they are also the same plain color as the bed curtains, very flat and very warm.

Her name is Xin'er, and she is indeed a heart-warming girl.

A pipa was placed by the bedside, and Anxiu thought of Zhao Wuniang for a moment.But after thinking about it, it’s not right, I should be Zhao Wuniang, her husband is the number one scholar in high school, married a daughter of a famous family, and I serve my father-in-law... No matter how you look at it, it is similar to the plot in "The Story of Pipa".

Just thinking about it, the old mother personally brought a tray of side dishes and two other jars of rice-flower-scented wine.The wine was poured out, and the aroma of the wine was immediately tangy.The old mother arranged the dishes and wine, exchanged a few pleasantries with Anxiu, and then went out.

Nangong said: "My lord, I will guard the door..."

With outsiders in front of him, he would still call Anxiu "Hai Lord".In this regard, Nangong is so cautious that it makes people feel distressed.

Xin'er personally picks up vegetables for Anxiu and pours wine for her.

Anxiu looked at her wearing a wooden hairpin cloth skirt, and couldn't help asking: "Xin'er, why are you doing this now? Are you not picking up customers?"

Anxiu remembered that He Shusheng said that he later returned Xiner to Wu Mingying, and Wu Mingying seemed to like Miss Xiner very much.Now that Suqu County is in danger, Wu Mingying came back to pick up his parents, why didn't he pick up this lovely girl?
However, a big family like the Wu family can't tolerate Xin'er's background, so what if she is gentle and courteous?Thinking of this, Anxiu didn't continue to ask.

Xin'er smiled bitterly: "The untouchables have been depressed recently, and they can't get over it... The guests don't like it, so my mother asks me to do some chores. It's been a long time since I received guests..."

Anxiu pinched the wine glass, and when the glass of wine was poured in, she felt a rush of warmth rushing towards her, and the frozen pores on her body seemed to stretch out in an instant.Anxiu didn't bother to know why she was depressed, nor did she bother to ask.She just wanted to see the places where He Shusheng and Wu Mingying used to linger.

They were really sitting here, but Anxiu couldn't comprehend their feelings at that time.Wine in hand, beauty in arms, the greatest joy in life is this, right?Anxiu sighed, if only she was born a man.If a man is promiscuous, he can take back three wives and four concubines to relieve the pain of marriage failure.

But women can't, they must endure loneliness, sadness, disappointment and anger alone!If you take revenge on this world because of that person's betrayal, the only person who loses in the end is yourself.This world is too powerful for one person to fight against.

"Lord Hou, actually Xin'er has something to say and doesn't know whether to say it or not..." Xin'er looked at An Xiu tentatively.

Anxiu smiled: "Say it!"

"Once upon a time, Xin'er met Mr. Wu first. He had been with him for two years, and he was very kind to Xin'er, but he always regarded Xin'er as a gentleman. Later, he gave Xin'er to Mr. He, always Tell Mr. He to take Xin'er back..." Xin'er said slowly.

An Xiu smiled, "Young Master Wu is quite selfless..."

"No, he has a purpose!" Xin'er's voice trembled, and suddenly she knelt down in front of An Xiu, "Master, Lord, you must forgive Xin'er for her innocence. Xiner has something to tell you, Xiner I've always wanted to tell you something..."

Anxiu was taken aback by her sudden agitation, quickly helped her up, and said, "Miss Xiner, please get up, this Marquis is here, you can speak up if you have something to say. This Marquis will never blame you!"

Only then did Xin'er get up slowly, but tears fell, and the appearance of Lihua with rain was very distressing.

"Before the new year, Mr. Wu went back to Suqu County and came to Xin'er to drink. He was so drunk that he hugged Xiner to beg for sex... and said, "Shusheng, Shusheng..." Xiner couldn't stop crying, " He regarded Xin'er as Mr. He, and said a lot of love words. He also said that he had always hoped that Mr. He and the Lord Hou would reconcile, so he pushed Xin'er to Mr. He; he also said that if he could not get Mr. He, he would be ruined He! What did Miss Huo protect Mr. He for a while, but not forever? He has evidence of Mr. He cheating in the exam..."

Anxiu stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "Where did you hear these gossips..."

"Xin'er swears to the sky, tell the truth!" Xin'er knelt down again with a thud, "My lord, what does such a lie mean to Xin'er? Who does Xiner want to harm? Mr. He has no intentions for Xiner, But Xin'er had only him in her heart... After he left, Xin'er was worried and only hoped that he was safe... After listening to Mr. Wu's drunken talk all night, Xin'er's heart was so cold... Waiting Lord, Mr. He must have met someone when he went to the exam. It's difficult, I'm afraid I have no choice but to abandon you for a while. Mr. He has feelings for Lord Hou, and Xin'er can see that..."

"Shut up!" An Xiu slammed the wine glass on the ground, "What the hell did you say!!"

Hearing the sound of smashing things in the room, Nangong asked outside the curtain: "My lord, can the villain come in?"

"Come in!" An Xiu said angrily.

As soon as Nangong entered the door, he was shocked by the situation in the room. The wine glass was smashed, Anxiu's face was full of anger, and Xin'er knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

"This lowly servant girl cried and said a lot of nonsense in front of this Marquis. She deserves to die! Nangong brought her back to the Marquis's Mansion, and Ben Hou will personally punish her and ask her if she deserves to die!" The anger on An Xiu's face did not decrease. , Eye sockets are red.

Such gossip, Anxiu can't let it spread, first take Xin'er away before talking about it.

The old mother came in and wanted to intercede, but she was frightened by An Xiu's appearance, and said a word, watching Nangong take Xin'er away, An Xiu also went back to the Hou Mansion.

********
In the afternoon, the weather gradually cleared up, and the breeze carried the sweetness of early spring. The sun was still weak, but it jumped between the branches, forming mottled tree shadows.

An Xiu sat in the study, motionless.

Nangong gently opened the door and came in, standing in front of Anxiu's desk, waiting for Anxiu to speak.

"Is she settled?" Anxiu asked.

"Put it in the guest room, sent four guards to guard her, told her, don't say anything..." Nangong replied.

Anxiu nodded.The sun shines on the book case through the screen window, dyeing the book case golden yellow.In the beam of light, light dust is flying, like small elves.

Seeing Nangong staying quietly, Anxiu was not as calm as him, and asked, "You don't want to know what that girl Xin'er told me just now?"

"If Nangong should know, the boss will say; if Nangong should not know, Nangong will not ask!" Nangong said respectfully.

Anxiu sighed, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "Sit down."

Nangong was a little surprised, but didn't express anything, and sat down obediently.

Anxiu thought for a while, and then said: "Nangong, you have been with me for four years. In these four years, I will not shy away from you in anything. I regard you as my confidant. Now I am confused about one thing. How can I talk to you?" speak?"

Nangong nodded: "Master, tell me!"

"It's not my boss who told you, it's An Xiu who told you. We are like old friends, talk about the depression in your heart, are you willing to listen?" An Xiu said with a sigh of relief.

Nangong nodded with certainty, and said, "Anxiu, you said..."

It was the first time that the word Anxiu came out of his mouth. It was so charming and tactful that it sounded very pleasant. Anxiu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then she calmed down and said, "Miss Xin'er just told me that Wu Ming should come back for a drink a few years ago. After getting drunk, he said a lot of things, saying that the person he likes is Shusheng... He harmed Shusheng because of love and hatred. I heard what Xiner meant, and it probably meant that Miss Huo's family saved He Shusheng's life. Shu Sheng had to marry her... and what was involved might be a cheating case in the exam room..."

Nangong nodded, but did not answer.

"Do you think... this is believable?" Anxiu asked anxiously.

"You want it to be credible, don't you?" Nangong hit the nail on the head, and Anxiu was speechless for a moment.

"The imperial court attaches special importance to scientific examinations. If cheating is found in the examination room, the most serious sentence is death." Nangong said, "And the most serious thing is that the chief examiner leaks the questions. The chief examiner for He Shusheng to take the scientific examination is the Huo family. The eldest son of the eldest son. If the Huo family admired Shusheng from the beginning, and thought that they would marry their daughter to him after he was named on the gold list, they would naturally give him a leak... If this matter is found out, He Shusheng and the chief examiner will be beheaded... An Xiu, only in this situation, He Shusheng is forced to be helpless, are you willing to be like this?"

Anxiu was stunned.

Nangong continued: "Young Master Wu has always been a very scheming person, he would get drunk in Liuxiang, Huajie for no reason? Anxiu, you are also a smart person, will you?"

Anxiu shook her head.

"Looking at it this way, it is very clear. If Miss Xin'er is not lying, it is Wu Mingying who deliberately told you these words through Miss Xin'er's mouth. His purpose is to ask you to go to the capital to find out... You are the second rank Lord, it is natural that there is a chance to defeat the Huo family or He Shusheng. What benefits will Wu Mingying get? It is very likely that he has become a disciple of a family that is hostile to the Huo family. There is also a possibility that what Wu Mingying said is true, and He Shusheng is indeed It’s a last resort. But if you don’t speak out about these difficulties, can he really come back to you? Anxiu, no matter what the reason is, it’s a dead end and there’s no turning back! He Shusheng is smarter than you, if He can turn around, he will not push himself into such a situation. Either he is really greedy for glory and wealth, or he is really forced to be helpless... Anxiu, he is like this, either to protect himself and achieve a man's career; Involvement... No matter what it is, don't you think that now is the best ending?"

Nangong had never given such a lengthy speech in front of Anxiu.Anxiu was not only amazed by his eloquence, but even more amazed that he actually knew so many things.

But his clarity was too rational, and his rationality didn't give Anxiu a chance to imagine.For so long, I always told myself to let go.But with a small test, she was shaken.She can't let go!Nangong's words made Anxiu understand that letting go now is the best result!
A relationship, a relationship, since it has come to an end, there is a reason for it to come to an end.No matter what the reason is, it is reasonable if it exists.If you insist on changing the period, replacing it with a comma, colon, or ellipsis, it will destroy the overall situation.

Anxiu is very rational when it comes to other people's affairs, but when it comes to her own affairs, she suddenly becomes confused.No matter how strong a woman is, she can't pass the emotional level.Women are born to love illusions, and love to leave a way out for themselves.In fact, it was finally discovered that the so-called back road blocked all the ways of life.

"I believe that Wu Mingying is the kind of liar. Wu Mingying is not a good person, nor is he a person who will casually get drunk and say what is in his heart. Maybe Miss Xin'er is also a situation arranged by them, just waiting for me to get in. Nangong, fortunately you Remind me by my side!" Anxiu stood up, the boulder on her heart was finally loosened, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Send Miss Xin'er back. First stabilize yourself, so that you don't get caught. The enemy is easy to hit!"

Nangong bent his lips, this was the happiest time he had been following Anxiu for four years, Anxiu listened to everything he said, it was indeed very rare!
"Yes, Master!" Nangong Youchu said.

******
Nangong Youchu sent Xin'er back to "Zhu Hua Nong", without saying anything, but said that there was a little misunderstanding that made the Lord Hou angry, and then left 500 taels of silver notes for them.

After Nangongyou left, the old mother happily counted the money, and then she wanted to say to Xin'er: "Girl, you are really a noble person. You got so much money from the Lord waiting for all your crying and fussing. The rouge and gouache of the sisters Don’t worry anymore! Why don’t you come over and thank your benefactor soon?”

Although Xin'er was respectful when she heard these words, she was full of sarcasm, she couldn't help but burrowed into the room, and began to cry in a low voice.

She was also sad, why didn't Anxiu believe her words?Because of this matter in her heart, she has always been unable to greet guests well, and the market has dropped for a while, and her mother and sisters have looked at her with embarrassment.Now that I finally met An Xiu, I told her these words, but she didn't believe it at all!
The more Xin'er thought about it, the more sad she became, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She really should go to the capital in person and beg Mr. He.But she has no money and no freedom, so she has to let her sweetheart suffer in the capital.Every time He Yu'er thinks about this, she can't even eat, she can't sleep well, and she's getting thinner and thinner!
No matter how hard her mother made things difficult for her in the past, or how mean her sisters were to her, Xin'er is not as sad as she is today, as if she has been greatly wronged.Crying until her voice became hoarse, she slowly stopped crying.The more I think about it, the more sad I feel.
