Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 162 Yun Niang Er

Xiao Hanyang came in slowly, wearing a cotton robe, and his face was a little pale. He didn't know whether he was frightened when he heard that his second uncle was coming, or whether he was not so happy here.

Some people are born to be afraid of something, hidden in their bones, and this fear will not diminish as they grow up and change in strength.

Take Xiao Hanyang, for example, who came here determined to break up with his family and stayed behind closed doors. His father couldn't get in, so he deceived himself and others into thinking he was getting peace.

But once someone broke this illusion, he became panicked. After all, he was still too young. He had no determination, no authority, and no scheming. Xiao Chenyu could tell at a glance that he was guilty and afraid.

"Second uncle, why are you here?" Xiao Hanyang still obediently bowed to Xiao Chenyu.

"It's okay if I don't come. I heard that you consider Liuye Lane your home. Let me see how you are doing in your new home?" Xiao Chenyu never gave Xiao Hanyang face, and his words were always sarcastic.

Xiao Hanyang pursed his lips and glanced at Yun Niang who was watching the show with pursed lips and a trace of red on his ears and neck.

Xiao Chenyu was not the kind of old-fashioned man who didn't know how to adapt, so he softened his attitude and asked him to sit down.

"Yes!" Xiao Hanyang cupped his hands, walked to Yun Niang and sat down, his attitude was quite casual.

Yun Niang moved to the side, keeping a little distance from him, so that she didn't look too ambiguous. Xiao Chenyu watched Yun Niang's movements and Xiao Hanyang's expression with cold eyes. He couldn't tell where the two of them had reached.

Then, Yun Niang raised her hand to pour tea for Xiao Hanyang, placed the tea next to Xiao Hanyang, and sat down herself.

Yun Niang sighed again and said: "Second Master, don't blame Young Master Xiao. He didn't do anything ridiculous when he was here with us. He was just too bored and needed a quiet place to stay and think clearly about something. .”

Seeing that the uncle and nephew were still silent: "Yun Niang is also a hard-working person. She is not born to be a mean person. As long as there are ways, who wouldn't want to be a serious wife, even if it is to be a concubine of a wealthy family? It’s better than what it is now.”

At this point, she seemed to be shocked and covered her cherry-red lips with her hands, and apologized with a crooked smile: "Look at Yun Niang's habit of speaking without restraint. She suddenly started talking nonsense again. You two are so embarrassed. Don’t worry about it.”

If it were the man next to him, he would have said a few generous words and let the beauty step down. Unfortunately, Xiao Chenyu did not speak. Xiao Hanyang wanted to say something, but he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of his second uncle, especially when his second uncle was calm and expressionless. Hiding the rough waves.

Yun Niang didn't feel embarrassed and walked down the stairs by herself.

She asked Xiao Chenyu: "Second Master, how about Yun Niang go prepare some food and drinks in person, and your uncle and nephew can talk while drinking?"

Only then did Xiao Chenyu nod.

Yun Niang stood up, put a plain white jade hand gently on Xiao Hanyang's shoulder, and said softly: "It can be seen that the second master loves you! Master, please speak nicely, and the slave family will go out first."

Xiao Hanyang raised his hand, probably wanting to pat Yun Niang's hand, but unfortunately he was frightened by Xiao Chenyu opposite him, and put his hand back as soon as it moved.

"Tell me, in what capacity do you live here? Benefactor? Friend? Or do you work here to pay for food, clothing, housing and transportation?"

As soon as Yun Niang left, Xiao Chenyu became rude.

And the identities he mentioned were not very respectable.

It sounds better to be a benefactor. If I have money, I can find a woman to be happy and happy.

But a good relationship doesn't sound that good. It's just like prostitution for free. There is no money to talk about feelings. Isn't this a liar?

As for working in a place similar to a brothel, it is even more despicable. Think about it, who are you serving?

Xiao Hanyang lowered his head and said nothing.

Only then did he realize that he was nothing. Xiao Chenyu added: "It's impossible to be a favored guest. You don't have enough money to stay here. I don't think it's a good match. It's not like Yun Niang can like a man like you who is neither motivated nor able to endure hardships."

Xiao Chenyu did not mention the last one again, because Xiao Hanyang was already ashamed of himself.

Xiao Chenyu sighed heavily and asked earnestly: "Where is this Liuye Lane? Can you get in without money? I spent money to come to you. Think about it, why do people let you live here? "

Everything should have a reasonable reason. What is reasonable is correct. Once it is unreasonable, there must be a hidden reason.

Xiao Hanyang was just obsessed, not a fool. He just couldn't see Mount Tai with a blind eye before.

He was suddenly awakened by his second uncle's serious words.

He raised his head and looked at his second uncle in surprise. He was startled by the coldness in Xiao Chenyu's eyes, and became more awake. He turned to look at the door. Yun Niang had not come in, only a little maid was outside the door. Stand and wait for their orders at any time.

Xiao Hanyang leaned forward and asked Xiao Chenyu in a low voice: "Is there a third possibility? That is, Yun Niang is kind-hearted and took me in because she saw that I was depressed and frustrated, or she thought that I would be successful in the future, so she treated me well first. , and then figure it out slowly?"

"Of course it's possible, but unfortunately, it's not very likely." Xiao Chenyu shook his head and decisively put an end to his nephew's suspicions. It could also be said to be his final stubbornness.

A question arose in Xiao Chenyu's mind: "Why did Yun Niang take you in? Your father came to look for you, but he couldn't get in at all, and I saw someone as soon as I came. Why?"

Xiao Hanyang swallowed. He had been in a daze these past few days. When he was free, he talked about poetry and songs with Yun Niang, played the piano and flute, and was so happy.

But now when Xiao Chenyu asked him what Yun Niang wanted to do by leaving him behind, he couldn't answer it himself.

Is it possible to say that he and Yun Niang are close friends?

"I forgot to ask, how did the second uncle know that I was here?" In order to divert the embarrassment and unbearability, Xiao Hanyang chose a topic at random.

Xiao Chenyu sneered: "Your father, my good brother came to look for me personally and asked me to come to you. You are really promising. What big deal happened to hide here?"

He actually forced his father to disregard his face and personally beg this little brother who he had avoided seeing for many years.

Needless to say, Xiao Hanyang knew how his father was feeling at that time.

"You two have been waiting for a long time. This is our specialty here. Please try it!"

Just at this time, Yun Niang led the little maid and the boy in with meals. Five or six porcelain white plates contained many exquisite dishes, and there was fragrant wine in the green jade pot.

Xiao Chenyu didn't believe that he just did it. He probably started preparing it when he entered the door.

"Thank you Yun Niang. Can it be convenient for my nephew and I to borrow your place to be alone together?" Xiao Chenyu looked at Yun Niang with a gentle smile.

Yun Niang glanced at Xiao Hanyang and said with a smile: "Of course it's okay."

He raised his hand, combed his hair with his slender fingers, and said: "I know that Mr. Xiao wants to take Young Master Xiao away, but..."
