Chapter 120: A Falling Leaf Signals Autumn
One falling leaf tells us that autumn is coming.
The weather in October, under the power of the autumn tiger, has returned to the scorching heat of summer, and it has been even worse in the past few days.
When she woke up early in the morning, Chen Heng felt hot and washed her face twice.
"Ah Heng." Xia came in hurriedly from outside carrying a basket. Seeing Chen Heng washing her face, she walked over to her without even putting down the basket and said excitedly, "Guess what I heard others say in the morning?"
"What?" Chen Heng asked. The house was now lively. Nanny Feng from next door often came to visit, and the relationship between the neighbors was good. There was no longer any worry on the eldest sister-in-law's face.
"The Yu County Xi Mansion is hiring a kitchen maid. Ah Heng, I want to be one." Xia's eyes lit up when she talked about this. "That way I can see Min'er every day. I want to see how Min'er studies and I can also earn some money."
Working as a kitchen maid in Yu Jun's mansion? Chen Heng thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, this job will be very tiring. Ajian said that if you want to see Min'er, you can ask him to come over on Min'er's days off." The family doesn't need such tiring work as that of sister-in-law.
"I don't want to disturb Min'er from studying. I'll be satisfied just to take a look at him at the door." Xia added, "I'm not afraid of hardship."
Seeing her sister-in-law's eagerness, Shen Heng understood her feelings at the moment: "Then wait for Ah Jian to come tonight and ask Ah Jian."
"good."
As usual, after dinner, Chen Heng went to the Meng family shop. Just as she was leaving the house, a carriage appeared at the other corner. The curtain was slightly lifted, and a face as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water appeared.
The woman pursed her lips tightly, and looked at Xia who was seeing someone off at the door with anger in her eyes.
Another voice rang out from inside the carriage: "Miss Liu, thank you so much for bringing me here."
The anger in Liu Zhiyue's eyes faded, and she put on a casual smile as she lowered the curtain: "My eldest sister and I hit it off right away. I wanted to invite you to appreciate the chrysanthemums today. Since you're coming to Miss Shen's house and it's on your way, we came together."
"I feel the same way towards Miss Liu. I don't know why, but when I see Miss Liu, I feel as close as a family member." It was the first time that Chen Xian felt such a sense of familiarity with an outsider.
This Miss Liu was truly a fairy sent by God to save her. She had never expected that she would help her so much. If it weren't for Miss Liu, she would have been divorced by her husband's family. She not only helped her, but also her father and that concubine.
Facing the gratitude on her elder sister's face, Liu Zhiyue rarely showed a sincere smile. This elder sister was the only person in the world who treated her sincerely well: "Sister Shen, the Xie family is not easy to deal with. Do you really want to get along with such a family?"
Chen Xian sighed, "Broken bones are connected by tendons. Now that our family is in the imperial capital, we should take care of each other. My second sister doesn't care about sisterhood, and I can't help but care about it. I hope that the eldest sister-in-law of the Xie family can understand and help me persuade her."
Seeing Shen Xian enter the Xie family's gate, Liu Zhiyue finally lowered the curtain. Xia? Ha, in the two years she had been in the Xie family, she had been scolded by Xia every day. How could such a woman still live such a happy life?
I heard that Xie Min was murdered and later adopted as a son by Eunuch Wang. Did he really think he had found a new life?
And Xie Jian, did he really think that he could rise to prominence by coming to the imperial city and relying on the relationship with a eunuch?
That’s a nice thought.
