supernatural farm girl

Chapter 216 Extra Story: He Siqiao
Spoiler: He Siqiao
The spring in the southeast town is the most graceful.

There is a wide field on the outskirts of the city, which is the horse farm of Ningnanhoufu, for Ningnanhoufu to play.

On both sides of the road on both sides of the racecourse, tall weeping willows are planted. In late spring, catkins are flying, and the ground is full of soft and fragrant stamens.Around the racecourse, various trees are planted: ancient ginkgo, tall paulownia, and broad Chinese toon.

But my favorite is the road back to the racecourse.

When I was just sensible, I often couldn't understand my identity, why I was in the Hou's mansion, and I was a lady respected by everyone in the Hou's mansion, but my mother always said that my status was low, and in the future only by getting good in-laws can I change my status. fate.Why is the young lady of Ningnan Houfu's status so low?

After growing up, I gradually understood.

Ning Nanhou is my father's adopted daughter.To be precise, she is the abandoned wife of my father's son.

My mother often didn't understand my father, why didn't he go to my brother.My elder brother is a first-rank official. He has a very high status in Kyoto and is very filial. When we go to Kyoto, my father’s sons and daughters will have a better future, and my father’s status will be even more honorable.

In Ningnan Hou Mansion, after all, the name is not right and the words are not right, but it is just a far-fetched clinging.

But I understand my father.

He couldn't bear to wait for the Lord to be sad.Lord Hou has no relatives, she regards her father as her own father, if father takes us away, Ning Nanhou will definitely be sad.

My father's feelings for my mother were very plain, but he loved me very much.I often play the piano for him, and he always smiles, and then secretly tells me: Siqiao, you play better than Yinger...

Ying'er is Aunt Chunyu's daughter and my half-sister.

Then our father and daughter secretly laughed, this feeling is very warm and heartwarming.I really like my father's attitude towards life: be grateful if you get it, and don't force it if you don't get it.My mother doesn't have such a stomach, she always wants to compete for everything and compare everything.

So, really tired, I am very afraid of my mother, she sometimes makes me at a loss for what to do with my demanding.She would often point to my forehead and scold: Why are you so useless, look at Yinger... Master Hou is good to Yinger, you useless thing, why don't you look like me at all...

After my mother left, the nanny would coax me, saying that my father and Lord Hou liked me very much, that I was much better than Ying'er in playing the piano, singing, and knitting girls, but I just didn't want to compete with Ying'er.The nanny said, it's best for the girl's house to be as plain as possible, where she would fight for everything and become hideous.

I like the nanny very much, the way she talks makes me feel very comfortable.

So, I don't like to fight.

People in the house say how good Miss Ying'er's singing and piano skills are, and how excellent the knitting girl is, I always smile.The maids complained about me, saying that mine was better than Ying'er, but they always didn't show it and let Ying'er steal the limelight.

I read with a book on the sidelines and let them complain.

It is useless to fight.I have heard Yinger play the piano, her fingers are not as dexterous as mine; I have also heard her sing, her voice is not as long as mine, so it is useless to strive for strength, these are all innate, and God predestined early in the morning Understand.

At that time, although I was always shrouded in the halo of Yinger, I was very happy.My father loves me, so does my nanny. Although my mother often scolds me, she loves me extremely in her heart.So, I had a great time.

It wasn't until I met him when I was 15 that my life began to change.

The first time I met him was on the way to the racecourse with Tiao Hua and Ying'er.It had just rained for three days, and the road at the racecourse was washed away, but we didn't know it.Driving away, the carriage slowed down halfway, and then stopped completely.

The carriage was stuck in the mud.

Shaohua is 14 years old, dressed as a man, like a wild boy, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to push the cart, the driver stopped her in fright: "Miss, the ground is full of mud, if you get out of the cart, you will lose your body." The clothes are ruined..."

Shao Hua couldn't resist, so she had to sit in the car and wait.

Three or four young sons came out of the racecourse. They were the children of Ning Nanhou's close family, so they could play in the racecourse.

Si Qiao stared at them, her face flushed.I glanced at it casually, lost interest.They are just dudes, most of them rely on their ancestral business and have no real skills.

But when I saw him, my eyes touched, as if my heart had been hit.He is Ling Zhi, the eldest son of Ling's mansion, the son of the Lord Hou's cousin, and he often comes to the mansion to play.Whether it is literary talent or martial arts, he is the best among the sons of aristocratic families in the southeast.

I have sneaked a few times to see him on weekdays, and I also heard about his name.This was the first time I saw him head-on, and I suddenly felt that his eyes were deep, and the bright color seemed to have absorbed my heart.

But after calming down a little, I realized that his eyes were not bright because of me.His eyes were fixed on Tiaohua who was beside him, and there was a trace of emotion that could not be concealed.

My heart is lost.

The group of nobles wanted to please Tiaohua, but they were afraid of soiling their gorgeous clothes, so they asked the servants who followed them to help push the cart. Only Ling Zhi tied his skirt around his waist and helped push it himself.He was very strong, and the car got out of the mud smoothly, and he also got muddy all over.

Although he was very embarrassed, he still looked very handsome when he smiled, even more handsome than those clean young masters.

He smiled at Shaohua.Shaohua's expression became a little unnatural, but he deliberately ignored him.

At that moment, I felt a little lost.

That was the first time I wanted to fight for something.

But when I compared myself with Tiaohua in my heart, my desire to fight became cold again.Shaohua has the beauty of the country and the city, but my appearance is very ordinary; Shaohua has the right to be a mother in the southeast, and my father is just a farmer; Shaohua is lively and lovely, but I have a dull temper.

Although I play the piano well and have a beautiful voice, what can I do?
Thinking of this, I smiled wryly to myself.

The one who really talked to him was also on this road to the racecourse.Once when we went horseback riding, Tiao Hua insisted on taking me, Ying'er, brother Linshui, and other men and women to accompany us.Both Shaohua and Yinger like to be lively, but I am most afraid of such a scene. There are so many people, it makes me feel very tired.

In the end, I was still disappointed, and said at halftime that I would go back.

Tiao Hua had a great time with Huo Ziyan, the heir of Zhennan Marquis, but Ling Zhi felt a little disappointed.When I said I wanted to go back, he said, "I'll take Miss Siqiao off..."

I know he is not because of me, but I am extremely happy in my heart.The sun was shining that day, and my maid Bisheng and I sat in the carriage, thinking that he was driving outside, so we raised the curtain to have a look.His figure melted into the sunlight, with a touch of warmth.

Until Bisheng said: Miss, what are you giggling by yourself?
I just realized I lost my temper.

That afternoon, one of us was in the carriage and the other was outside the carriage, but it was the closest distance between us.It is also because of this that I fell in love with the road to the racecourse.

I often meet him in the Hou Mansion, and I get nervous every time, but he just nods lightly, says hello, and passes away.He is a decent person, and he doesn't look at the female relatives more than usual, except for Shaohua, his eyes seem to have no room for others.

My eyes always followed his figure, even the nanny and the maid Bisheng noticed.The nanny and Bisheng both said to me: Miss, please stop thinking about it, the eldest son of the Ling family is the grandson of our master and also my junior.Besides, I'm a concubine, and Zhang Zhenzhen, the wife of the Ling family, has a high vision and a high spirit, so I'm afraid she won't be able to see me.

I know, but I can't stop.

Lord Hou proposed to me and Sister Ying'er, I panicked for a moment.I don't want to get married, I just want to stay in the Hou Mansion, I can see Ling Zhi by chance, even if I can't walk into his life, I am happy.

Lord Hou secretly told me that the eldest son of the prefect of Quzhou is the one who accompanied me on the flute when I played the piano during the Shangyuan Festival, and he wanted me to be his wife.

I euphemistically told the Lord Hou that I don't like the eldest son of the prefect's family in Quzhou.The Lord Hou didn't say much.

Half a month later, the Quzhou prefect's family formally proposed marriage, and Ying'er was chosen.Ying'er was very happy, very satisfied with that eldest son.

Only the Lord and I know about this.I didn't have much affection for Master Waiting at first, I just thought she was the master of the house.But after this incident, I was very grateful to her in my heart, because she fulfilled my qualification to pursue happiness.If she told my mother that the eldest son of Quzhou prefect's family loves me, I'm afraid I won't be able to make decisions in the future.

In order to thank her, I specially made a pair of shoes for her.

Lord Hou got my shoes and was very surprised. After looking at them carefully for a long time, he said, "Siqiao, so this embroidery is made by you? The maids all said it was Ying'er..."

I smiled.

Master Hou also understood, took my hand, and said distressedly: "Siqiao, you are a good girl."

However, my qualification to pursue happiness was eventually deprived of me.

On the third day of junior high school, I knew that Ling Zhi was stabbed by Tiao Hua, and I also knew that Jiang Guolao’s granddaughter—that distinguished and beautiful lady accompanied Ling Zhi to take care of her. He was relieved, and remembering his mother's making things difficult, he sang a poem.

Unexpectedly, I met Huo Zijin.

At that time, I thought it was just a chance encounter, just an embarrassment of a gaffe, but I didn't know that this was the beginning of my life.

When I saw Huo Zijin for the first time, although I was flustered, I also knew that he would not be the man I liked.His face is very resolute, with the strength and hardness of a man, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips slightly upturned.

Not as gentle as Ling Zhi, with a touch of coolness, not the kind of man I like.
