Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 259
The sun gradually rises.

The snow hadn't stopped yet, but it seemed that it wasn't that cold anymore. Qiuli and Yingying were still shivering involuntarily despite their thick cloaks.

The news I heard seemed nothing special at first glance, but when I thought about it carefully, a trace of fear suddenly arose.

There seems to be a crisis lurking in the family, and it seems that if you are not careful, your life will be gone.

"I also lost my home since I was a child."

Qiu Li muttered to herself.

But no matter how shameful her family was, his parents sold her just to survive.In order to survive, it is a very wrong thing to turn a person into a beast, but it is not very rare. Looking back now, there is naturally resentment, but it is not enough to give birth to much hatred.

"That Li Dalang, does he care too much about his reputation, or does he not care about his own reputation at all? He can really do the thing of forcing his niece to marry? Is it better to let the niece protect his own daughter from disaster than to protect his own reputation? Does your daughter have a good reputation for pretending to be deaf and dumb?"

The Li family is a big family, and the power in the local area is far inferior to that of the Wang family, so what if Li Dalang doesn't marry his daughter to Wang Dabiao?

The world wouldn't even talk about the Li family.

Maybe there will be some bad-mouthed people who think he hates the poor and loves the rich, but a serious and reasonable person must also understand Li Dalang's love for daughters. Marry into a lowly family?

Qiuli sighed, and said that her cousin had met several times in the past two years. The son of a wealthy family wanted to take her as a concubine, and he wanted to seduce his cousin. Naturally, it was unavoidable, but her cousin never disregarded her wishes and did anything that made her unhappy.

The two cousins ​​didn't have much contact with their sisters at all, and they treated her sincerely.

The Xihuan Pavilion is said to be a romantic place, and the ladies in it are also prostitutes, despised by the world, but their sisters have not suffered any grievances in it, Miss Xixi treats them like sisters.

Why is this Mrs. Xiao, with a mother who loves her by her side, a big family, a big business, no worries about food and drink, and two uncles, how can she live better than this pair of them... poor sisters?

Gu Xiang sighed softly: "To put it bluntly, it's just that the persimmon is picking the soft ones."

Miss Xiao is a boudoir girl, she only lives with her mother, she is like a duckweed, no matter how you manipulate her, she can't bring trouble to the Li family.

The Wang family is different.Although the Wang family is just a local rich man, they still have a lot of influence in the local area. Wang Dabiao is a middle-aged man, and he is not stingy. .

Gu Xiang guessed that the Li family had other reasons for marrying Mrs. Xiao to Wang Dabiao.

Zhao Ying sighed suddenly: "I remember three years ago, the three princesses were 13 years old, when it was time to choose a companion to read, she said by herself that she should choose someone with outstanding learning and good character from the Li family and the Gao family. My sister is her reading companion."

Gu Xiang thought about the relevant information he had read, nodded and said: "I remember that the third princess mainly wants older ladies, and so does His Majesty and the ladies in the palace. It means that older children are more sensible Some, can take care of the princess."

She smiled, "What is the relationship between the Li family in front of you and the Li family in the capital?"

The old dog hadn't spoken yet, Zhaodi understood what he said, and hurriedly said: "I know, the servants of the Li family always show off outside, saying that their family has relatives who are high officials in the capital, and the ancestors of the Li family are very rich. Although they are not descendants of the direct line, they are only collateral lineages, but after all, they are related, the grandmother of the Li family still has a little bit of friendship with the Li family in the capital, and this princess chose the Li family to accompany her, and the girl from their family was almost chosen. "

"But this is all nonsense. When the people of the Li family heard someone mention it, they explained a few words, saying that there was no such thing. They said that their children grew up in the countryside, and they always had no rules. The Tian family The princess chooses to read as a companion, and the girls raised by their family are not worthy of it at all."

Zhao Ying turned her head slightly, and looked at Gu Xiang lazily sitting in front of the fire, her bones all over her body seemed to be soft without any support, and she looked pretty.

He suddenly remembered that day, when he was sitting by the river, the river wind was extremely cold, and he forgot to wear a cloak, but he was too lazy to call people around. The coolness around him seemed to seep from his skin to his bones. San Niang.

Where Sanniang was sitting, there were stoves on all sides, and a fire next to it. The hot air accompanied by the fragrance billowed out, domineeringly dispelling all the coldness around, even those in the brave army The thorns have also become obedient.

The food is cooked well, and the stories Sanniang tells are even more beautiful.

Zhao Ying used to have few pastimes. It's not that he doesn't listen to books, it's not that he doesn't drink alcohol, and it's not that he doesn't go to brothels and houses with others. It's just that when he listens to books, the books don't interest him, and when he drinks, the wine doesn't enter his head. Brothel Washer, seeing the countless excitement, his mind is also filled and occupied by other things all the time, and it is rare for him to be really relaxed.

He listened to the story that day, but he was fascinated by it.

He thought that Sanniang was his confidant, so he read the books written by Sanniang and listened to the stories told by Sanniang, which made him different from others.

Zhao Ying said with a smile: "The Li family in Dahe Village, the name of the person who almost handed in the election is their cousin, Xiao Lingyun."

"Oh."

Gu Xiang understood.

"It's because the family is not in harmony, the old lady and Li Dalang's minds are not in harmony."

Zhao Ying nodded: "The old grandmother of the Li family in Dahe Village is a sophisticated person. After all, she is old and can judge people accurately, and she has experienced it when she was young. She can tell that the girls in the family are only hers. This granddaughter can go to the palace and other places to go through such a journey."

Gu Xiang sighed: "Unfortunately, the old man is old after all. For many years, he only cared about lying high and ignored the family affairs. Now he wants to make up his mind, but others are starting to follow others and are not willing to listen."

"Presumably neither Li Dalang nor anyone who has influence on Li Dalang wants to let Xiao Lingyun enter the capital, or even enter the palace, and doesn't want her to have a chance to stand out, and then climb over the heads of these serious little ladies of the Li family? "

There was silence all around.

The old dog walked over, brought the little lady's bamboo hat and handed it to Xue Ying.

Xue Ying put on the bamboo hat for Gu Xiang, tied the cloak again, turned around and immediately took off a long gray bag, and carried it on his back.

Gu Xiang glanced.

Xue Ying said softly: "If something goes wrong today, I hope the little lady will take care of it."

Gu Xiang: "..."

She also smiled and blinked: "Nothing bad will happen. If Xue Ying really draws his sword out of its sheath, I think I will be very happy."
