20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 423: Sisters from the same school, grudges are inseparable

Xue Yingqing has completely changed as a person, or in other words, a different style.

Her face was still iconic and stunning, and I felt pity for her, but her outfit seemed extremely kitsch, even a little ridiculous.

The navy blue satin cheongsam is exquisitely embossed and embroidered with spring peaches, summer lotuses, autumn chrysanthemums and winter plums. The price is certainly not cheap, but when you first see it, it is inevitably messy and too complicated.

I saw that she was wearing a bun with green silk hair, a gold hairpin and a jade hairpin on her head, and the flowers were swaying; her temples were like smoke cages, and her ears were hung with golden phoenix pendants and tasseled phoenix tails; her jade neck was beautiful, and she was wearing a pearl necklace, which was round and plump. ; The fingers are as white as green onions, covered with gold, silver, and diamonds, and are dotted with pearls; the wrists are like new bamboo shoots, with a pair of emerald bracelets, long and transparent!
All over the body, no space is left anywhere that can be worn.

This outfit is worth a lot of money; this outfit is extremely gaudy!

Seeing her strolling over, it was like an orchid in the empty valley that fell into the sauce vat and was turned into pickles by this mortal world. What a pity! What a pity!

Logically speaking, Xue Yingqing came from a "Yan" family and knew that dressing up like this didn't look good, but she still came like this, as if she was angry and didn't know who she wanted to compete with.

Xue Yingqing was followed by Toudaozi and Dong Erniang. Chuanghu led the three of them into the yard. Only then did he realize that what shopkeeper Xue meant by "getting ready" turned out to be to buy jewelry.

When he reached the door of the mansion, Jiang Lianheng came out of the house to greet him.

Obviously, she wore this outfit not for others to see, but only for the senior sister from the same school whom she had not seen for many years.

Xu Ruqing suddenly turned around, walked quickly to the door, looked at the junior sister up and down, and asked with surprise and joy: "You came to see me? I thought you didn't want to come!"

After hearing this, Xu Ruqing's expression became a little gloomy. She sat down silently with her eyes lowered. After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Xue Yingqing's side face, pursed her lips, and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Xue, Don't be angry with me, sister. It was my fault for breaking my promise and leaving you alone. Today I finally see you. I will make amends to you, okay?"

"Uh - Shopkeeper Xue is so impressive!"

"Alas! There is no way. There are too many things and there is no place to put them!" Xue Yingqing glanced at the senior sister and asked, "Are you surprised? If you are surprised, I will give you a few, just as a way to help you."

As she spoke, she looked around at the interior decoration and clucked her tongue:

"Oh, it's upstairs!" Jiang Lianheng greeted, "Xiaohua, go upstairs and invite Auntie down."

"Ouch - I don't dare to say that!"

Xue Yingqing smiled but said angrily: "You are the elder sister and I am the younger sister. Isn't it natural for the elder sister to beat her younger sister? Not to mention the past, even if you wanted to hit Ying Qing now, Ying Qing would not dare to Say 'no'! Senior sister, my good senior sister! Tell me which way you want to slap me, or I can do it myself!"

"I told you there's no need. Are you unable to understand people or something?"

"Oh, you can scold me if you want!"

"It smells bad!" Xue Yingqing rolled his eyes, walked into the house swaying, and then added, "And the smell of the old lady is so disgusting!"

"No need." Xue Yingqing immediately refused. He stood at the door, straightened his hair, straightened his chest, and said, "I'll go find her myself."

……

The two of them are aunts and nephews, and they have joined forces in Luda. No matter what, they should be welcomed and sent off.

When the door slowly opened, Xu Ruqing had just woken up from her nap and was sitting in front of the desk combing her hair. The gauze curtain in front of the window was swaying lightly in the wind.

Jiang Lianheng thought to himself that there would probably be endless things to say when the sisters reunited. It was time to reminisce about the past together, not to mention that the eldest sister had been bored at home and isolated from the world in the past few years. Now it was difficult for an acquaintance to come visit and chat. Joking made her heart open and bright, so she asked Song's mother to lead Xue Yingqing to the second floor first, while she entertained Tou Daozi and her "younger brother and sister" Dong Erniang in the living room.

"Xiao Xue!"

Even though she hadn't seen her for many years, she still recognized her junior sister at a glance.

"No need!" Xue Yingqing flatly refused, "The soda you bought smells cheap and I don't like drinking it."

……

The two sisters fell into an embarrassing silence. Xu Ruqing secretly looked at Xue Yingqing and suddenly couldn't help but want to step forward and hug the little junior sister.

"As you said, did you drink less before?"

Xue Yingqing stopped, his head immediately started to rustle, and he asked, "Where is Xu Ruqing?"

"Scolding you? Dirty my mouth!"

After guiding the junior sister to sit down at the tea table, Xu Ruqing suddenly remembered something and greeted with a smile: "Sit down for a while and I'll ask them to buy you a soda."

Jiang Lian crossed his fists and saw that her jewelry looked like a steel helmet and a finger tiger. He couldn't help but froze for a moment before he said, "Come on, come on, you three, sit down in the room!"

Xu Ruqing was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the window was open, he asked suspiciously, "What's the smell?"

Xu Ruqing had no choice but to lower her hands and put them on her legs, on the armrests, or on the table. She didn't know why, but they didn't look right anywhere.

She saw Xue Yingqing leaning against the door in the mirror.

Xu Ruqing was not angry. Even though her junior sister was sarcastic at her, she still had a thick smile on her lips.

Xue Yingqing didn't look at his senior sister seriously, snorted coldly, and said, "You also know that you are nothing!"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to ask for money. I stopped by... to let you take a look at me." Xue Yingqing did not enter the room immediately, but slapped his face twice with a handkerchief, frowned, and muttered, " What’s the smell in this room?”

"Don't talk nonsense. Xiaodao treats me very well and no one can find fault with him. When he calls me aunt, he really treats me as an aunt. He has never been ambiguous in more than ten years. Don't say that he recognizes me as aunt and nephew. , even aunts and nephews, not many can do this. If your words get out, it will be chilling. "

However, as soon as she raised her hand, Xue Yingqing shrank subconsciously, then quickly raised her chest, slapped the table and asked, "What are you going to do? Do you dare to hit me?"

Xu Ruqing waved his hands repeatedly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Nonsense, how old are you, and I still beat you? Besides, I...I haven't hit you very often before, just that time..."

After thinking about it, she simply changed the subject and asked: "Xiao Xue... um, how have you been doing in the past few years?"

Xue Yingqing looked at the back of his hands, touched his wrists, and stroked his temples as if nothing had happened. He chuckled and said, "It's not bad. I can make do. Anyway, I'm better off than you."

She knew her too well.

"Hey! The famous 'Chuan'erhong' lives in a shabby place like this? This house used to be a warehouse, right?"

Xu Ruqing was happy and said hurriedly: "I saw it, I saw it, I saw it as soon as you entered the door. You don't mind it if you wear it so much."

As she said that, she actually took off a few rings on the spot and threw them on the tea table with a clanking sound, disdainfully.

"I've rewarded you! It saves you from having to rely on others to support you every day. You can't afford food or clothing. If word gets out, you and I can't afford to lose that person!"

As Xue Yingqing spoke, he took off the pair of jade bracelets from his wrists and threw them on the bed. Then he stood up, clapped his hands with relief, and said, "Okay... The smell in this room is too strong, I can't even stay here." No one, I’m leaving!”

"Hey! Xiao Xue, why are you so anxious!"

Xu Ruqing quickly stood up and followed over, grabbed the little junior sister's arm, and said almost begging: "Sit down for a while! Sit down, sit down, talk to sister, and then leave after eating. Let me take a good look at you." "

"I have nothing to say to you. I feel sick when I see you!"

Xue Yingqing said this, but her body was still involuntarily dragged to the bed by her senior sister and sat down.

Xu Ruqing ignored the venomous words of the younger junior sister, stood up, picked up the rings on the tea table, carefully wrapped the pair of jade bracelets on the bed with a handkerchief, and returned them to the younger junior sister, saying: "Take them back. ! I’m old and don’t go out, so I don’t need these jewelry.”

"You also know that you are not worthy?"

"Okay, okay, I don't deserve it, take it back!"

"Then just drop it. Don't give it to me. I think the things you touched are dirty!"

"Xiao Xue, take it back!"

While pulling and tugging, Xu Ruqing's sleeves were suddenly lifted up, and several shocking whip marks struck Xue Yingqing's heart. The whip marks looked very old, and the wounds had long been completely healed. The pink and tender new flesh bulged slightly on the arm, like a spider web, spread out horizontally and vertically, densely packed.

Xue Yingqing's heart trembled, and the original disgusted expression disappeared instantly, turning into astonishment, shock and confusion...

Xu Ruqing quickly pulled down her sleeves, her eyes averted, and her eyes were a little erratic.

But then, Xue Yingqing saw several whip marks on the senior sister's calf, so the senior sister tugged on the skirt again.

Xue Yingqing frowned slightly, as if he was electrocuted. He stood up from the bed, took a few steps, and walked to the middle of the room. Suddenly he felt a little confused and at a loss, so he just turned his back inexplicably. After hesitating for a long while, he snorted coldly.

"Ha! What, you got me beaten? Why are you talking to me about these nonsense! You deserve it!"

"It's all over, it's all over..."

The senior sister's voice was very low, and she kept chanting "It's all over" over and over again. She sounded a bit devilish and dazed, which made people feel unbearable.

After mumbling, Xu Ruqing stopped talking, and even her breath could not be heard, and she seemed to disappear without a trace in the room.

"I...I'm leaving!"

Xue Yingqing stood on the spot and shouted, but this time, the senior sister did not follow her to keep her.

Her steps were slightly hesitant, as if she was waiting for an excuse.

"Xu Ruqing, I'm really leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin figure suddenly flashed across the door, accompanied by a childish laughter.

Xue Yingqing turned his face and saw a little girl standing beside the door, pulling her towards the sky.

After waiting quietly for a moment, the little girl suddenly popped her head out again, glanced at her hastily, and then hurriedly hid back, covering her mouth with both hands and snickering.

"Girl, stop hiding!" Xue Yingqing waved to the door, "I've already seen you, come here and let me take a look."

Xiao Jiangya walked out with a smile, pulling on the door handle and looking at the beautiful "aunt".

She noticed Xue Yingqing in the yard. She liked him, but she was too shy to come forward. She seemed a little shy.

"Come on, come on!" Seeing that she didn't dare to come over, Xue Yingqing simply walked over and picked up Jiang Ya, turned around and asked, "Xu Ruqing, is this Jiang Lianheng's daughter?"

Only then did she notice that her senior sister was sitting blankly by the bed, lowering her head, fiddling with the hem of her skirt with one hand, frowning in silence, immersed in the nightmare of the past.

"Xu Ruqing?"

"Auntie!"

Xu Ruqing was brought back to reality by her granddaughter's call. She was suddenly startled, raised her head and thought for a moment, and finally said with a smile: "Jiang Ya is here? Hurry, call my aunt!"

Xiao Jiangya didn't say anything, but carefully stretched out her hand, touched Xue Yingqing's face, poked the pair of golden phoenix pendants twice, and laughed.

"Do you like it?" Xue Yingqing immediately took off the earrings, "Take it, I'll give it to you, keep it in your pocket and keep it as a dowry later."

Jiang Ya clenched her two pink little fists, not daring to take them, but turned her head to look towards her aunt.

Xu Ruqing raised her chin and said, "Take it if it's given to you!"

"Hurry and take it!" Xue Yingqing also said.

Xiao Jiangya's eyes were fixed on the golden phoenix earrings, but her hands were turned away, dodging left and right. She seemed to be struggling, and she was tangled for a long time. Finally, she suddenly said "Oh", turned away, and simply stopped looking. .

As soon as she sighed, the two sisters immediately burst into laughter.

"This girl is like a little grown-up. She is so rare!" Xue Yingqing sat down with Jiang Ya in her arms and asked, "Are you so strict?"

"Her mother is very strict and doesn't allow her to take other people's things." Xu Ruqing said with a smile.

The more Xue Yingqing watched, the more she liked her. She couldn't help hugging, hugging, kissing and biting Jiang Ya, making the little girl giggle with joy. Finally, she asked out of the blue:

"This child looks really good, is he Jiang Lianheng's biological child?"

"Xiao Xue, don't talk nonsense. Let the children hear it and learn it everywhere. You don't understand Xiaoyan's situation, so stop talking."

"How about I accept this girl as my goddaughter?"

"You're making a fool of yourself again! You're so young, you're so messed up about who you are as your goddaughter!"

Xiao Jiangya listened to the two chatting and suddenly remembered something. Her eyes lit up and she jumped off the ground. She ran to the dressing table and opened the drawer. She took out a framed photo and brought it to Xue Yingqing. She pointed at Hu Xiaoyan. , introduced: "This is my mother!"

It was a group photo of ten people.

When Xue Yingqing saw Hu Xiaoyan in the photo sitting in a wooden wheelchair, she felt that the joke just now was a bit too much, so she touched Jiang Ya's head and whispered: "Girl, you have to be nicer to your mother in the future!"

Xiao Jiangya was in high spirits, then pointed at the photo and said, "This is my dad, this is my aunt..."

"Then where are you?"

"Me? Well... I didn't go that day, my aunt said I went out to play."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, you didn't go that day!"

Xue Yingqing then pointed to Jiang Chenghai in the photo and asked, "Then do you know who this is?"

"I know!" Xiao Jiangya nodded, "My aunt said, she said this is my father!"

"Your aunt was wrong, this is an old bastard!"

"Xiao Xue!" Xu Ruqing immediately scolded in a low voice, "How can you say that? That's her grandfather. Don't teach the child bad things!"

"Come on! Don't make such a fuss. I've never heard of a child who was taught 'son of a bitch'! Besides, this is not the child's biological grandfather in the first place!"

Xiao Jiangya was jumping anxiously beside her, and quickly asked: "What about this one! What about this one!"

Xue Yingqing smiled and said: "These are two bastards, three bastards... They are all bastards!"

Xiao Jiangya laughed loudly, then pointed at Guan Wei and Gong Baonan who were standing behind Jiang Lianheng, and continued to ask: "What about these two?"

"These two -" Xue Yingqing hesitated. She had no impression of these two faces. After thinking about it, she said, "These two are bastards!"

"Jiang Ya! Don't learn!" Xu Ruqing scolded sternly, "If you dare to learn again, I'll tell your mother to beat you!"

Xiao Jiangya was startled, and suddenly she didn't dare to say anything anymore. She looked at Xue Yingqing pitifully, as if begging for mercy.

Xue Yingqing made a face at her and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid! Okay, this is your grandfather. He is very good to your parents. You can't talk about him, but I can. This is between us. Little secret!”

With that said, she took Xiao Jiangya's hand and asked softly: "Girl, where is your mother? Please take me to see her!"

Jiang Ya nodded, very willing to lead the way, turned around and dragged Xue Yingqing towards the door.

Seeing this, Xu Ruqing was about to stand up and follow, but was immediately rejected by her junior sister coldly:

"Sit down, don't act like a child. I'll go find her mother and ask about the situation. You old lady, don't come and join in the fun!"
