In fact, even if I want to hide the punishment in this courtyard, I can't hide it, but I don't want Yunhui to open his mouth to ask Yinyu. After all, no matter how good Yinyu is to himself, that is his own willingness. If I rely on this goodness, I will ask to come to the door as soon as I encounter something, who knows when this favor will run out, and it will be difficult to open my mouth when I really encounter a life-saving event in the future.

Let Mama Pang count the dowry in the small warehouse in the courtyard, and most of the valuable things are still those sent by Yinyu. Mama Pang is a discerning and planning person, she divided the things into several piles according to the value of fineness, put away some jewelry that was too valuable to sell first, and left only those unused silver nudes, gold grains and some good pawn jewelry, and handed them to Xiao Shunzi to take out.

Xiao Shunzi is not a greedy person, in addition to the money spent on the door, he brought back the things that needed to be purchased and the remaining silver, and also listed the details, the pen was clear and clear, and it was really careful.

Seeing that the people around me can be so intimate and sincere, I also feel warm in my heart. He took some of the money out of it, divided it according to the monthly salary of the three of them, and said to them, "It is not good for you to be slaves and follow the favored master, but there is no way to spread a master like me." Now is the time to see people's hearts in adversity, I know that you are really good to me, and I will be sincere to you, this money is considered half a year that I paid you to be fined, and we will be a family in the future, no matter what, we must have one heart, and we must not be told by others to leave our hearts. ”

When the three of them saw me doing this, they knelt down in unison. Mama Pang had red eyes and said: "Gege, you are too worried, it is also appropriate for a slave to accompany his master to suffer, not to mention that we can also see these days that you are a rare good master, and the minions have nothing to worry about outside, don't ask for this, as long as you have something to eat." ”

I stood up, helped Mama Pang up, and asked Xiao Shunzi and Yun Hui to get up too, stuffed the money bag into Mama Pang's hand, and said: "People's hearts change people's hearts, your identity was originally wronged to serve me, but you have never relied on your identity to squeeze me, and you have mentioned points everywhere, planning for me, how can I treat you badly." Take it, anyway, the rest of the money is tight, it's no problem to stay up for half a year, not to mention that there are some valuable things left, and you can take them out and replace them if you can't do it, the money is all outside the body, and it's good for people to live comfortably and steadily. ”

Mama Pang took the money bag I stuffed into her and wanted to say something more, but I stopped by laughing and shaking her head. Seeing that I insisted on doing so, she no longer refused, and motioned for the other two to take the thanks.

With money, although life is tight, it is not difficult. However, it is often not only food and clothing that affects the mood, but also the cold and cold of the world.

In the middle of April, the weather began to be stuffy, and Mama Pang asked Xiao Shunzi to ask when she could use ice, but was replied, "Geng Gege offended the master and Fang Fujin and still want to use ice?"

Actually, I'm not afraid of the heat, but it's not too good to watch my people being blocked back by such bastard words.

simply let them not have to think of a way, and they practiced their words in the room by themselves, intending to pass the time of depression and boredom. is writing, feel that the ink is light, the house has long been exhausted, thinking that it is to go to the treasury to receive, I am afraid that it will also touch a nose of ash, why bother to be bored, simply abandon the pen, take the book and half lean on the couch to pass the time.

Yun Hui's family talked a little and said that there was something wrong, thinking that she still had her mother and younger brother to take care of, so she gave her a day off, took care of the housekeeper, let her take the moon out of the house, and picked out a few silver jewelry from the dowry, and asked her to pawn some silver back to make up for the expenses in the yard by the way.

Breaking away Mama Pang, she was alone in the room holding the book, but she couldn't read a word, leaning on the couch and spontaneously in a daze, thinking that some things must have one and two, this time fortunately, with the dowry given by Yinyu, it may be able to support it for a while, but what about half a year later? If Li Shi saw that he didn't suppress me, and found an excuse to delay the punishment, how would he continue in the days to come.

In the past half a month, the house has spread all over the matter of my punishment, but there has been no movement on the side of Yinzhen and the Wulanala clan, which shows that no matter whether this matter is right or wrong at the time, the punishment of me was tacitly approved by the two masters, and it is precisely because of this that those slaves in the house who look down on people dare to follow the deduction in other aspects, first, to fill their own pockets, and secondly, they can also please the Li family as they like.

If you are just a concubine of an ordinary family, you can find some work, but now because of the identity of the prince's concubine, it is difficult to even leave the house, let alone make a living. At present, it is not a way to sit and eat like this after all, once Yinyu's things are pawned, this day will really not be able to live.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone enter the house, and looked sideways slightly, it was Yun Hui who came in with a stack of silver tickets, and there was a smile on his face.

I took the silver ticket she handed me and looked at it, and asked hesitantly, "Why did you come back so early?" What I took out this time was just an ordinary silver hairpin, and it was not worth the pair of white jade bracelets two days ago, why did I have so much?"

Yun Hui smiled when she heard this, took out the silver hairpin from her arms and said: "I went to my mother's side early in the morning, and I saw that my mother and younger brother were all right, thinking that there was still something important to do, so I left the moon and left." When I got to the pawnshop, I took out the hairpin and gave it to the shopkeeper, but I didn't expect it to be some snobs, and said that this hairpin was too ordinary, and the price given even the minions felt too stumbling, so the minions were too lazy to talk to them, thinking that there was not much left. A few days ago, there was still some silver, so I planned to keep it first, and after a while, the silver was gone, and then I would find some ways to change it for a good price. I didn't expect to meet the Ninth Master as soon as I got out of the pawnshop......"

Hearing her say this, I was shocked, my face suddenly sank, and I quickly stopped her words, got up and walked to the door to take a look, and saw that there was no one under the porch to cover the door and enter the house, and asked in a low voice: "This money was given by the ninth master?" What did you say to him, it was the original truth, and there must be no concealment. ”

The forty-second year of Kangxi is a turbulent year, and it is now the middle of April, and those who know the history of the Qing Dynasty know that it will not be long before Suo Etu will be detained by Emperor Kangxi for the crime of "discussing state affairs and forming a party and acting recklessly", and he will soon die in a secluded place. After Suo Etu was convicted, as long as he was slightly involved with Suo Etu, he was implicated, and many princelings were convicted, which was also a warning to the prince. At this time, the Eight Masters Party was dissatisfied with the princelings, as Yinzhen, who grew up with the prince, did not have a bad relationship with the Eight Princes at this time, but Yinzhen's mind has always been unfathomable, and it is difficult to guess what kind of plans he will have in such a situation.

What was originally just an outsider watching history coldly has now become an insider in the middle of it, and this transformation makes people panic and uneasy. Therefore, I don't want to have anything to do with Yinyu, for myself and for him.

Yun Hui saw that I looked nervous, sighed, and said: "The slave said something that should not be said, Gege's attitude towards the ninth master even the slave really shouldn't be, you must know that when the ninth master saw the slave today, before the slave spoke, the ninth master said, 'I have heard all the difficulties that your family Gege is encountering now, and with her temperament, she will definitely not open her mouth to me easily, and I don't care too much, but if I meet it today, I can't ignore it, you take these silver tickets to the emergency first, don't let her treat herself harshly'." Ke Gege watched the slave come back with the silver ticket, but he was wary of the ninth master, afraid of what the slave said to him, and what he asked the slave to do. Gege, you don't want to think about it, now our yard is isolated and helpless, and we are disgusted wherever we go, even if the ninth master asks the slave to do something, the slave can't do anything, not to mention that the ninth master has nothing to do except let the slave take care of Gege?"

I have never set any rules for the people around me, and I have not been bound by my personality, and over time, they have become accustomed to saying whatever they want in front of me. Listening to Yun Hui's complaints, I knew in my heart that for Yinyu, he had always been good to me, and in exchange for only my increasing estrangement from him, I was ashamed of him anyway.

I handed her the silver ticket and asked her to put it away, and said with a wry smile: "You are right, it's just that the ninth master is the prince after all, although he is a brother with the fourth master, but he has nothing to do with me." Now I am the concubine of the fourth master, these things in the house are our own family affairs, as the saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, it doesn't matter what I do with the fourth master, but if I am too close to him, it will inevitably cause gossip. It's not good for him, it's good for me, you know?"

Yun Hui is just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and if I were at her age, I would probably only see the good of others, but I couldn't figure out the stakes.

"Take this jade pendant to a person named He Tu in the house, hand over the silver ticket to him, and ask him to tell the ninth master, just say that I have a friendship with him in Pingshui, the so-called merit is not rewarded, I understand his kindness, but the silver ticket is returned, as for the current difficulties, I will find a way. "I handed the purple jade iris to Yun Hui and instructed.

Yun Hui felt that since the silver ticket was sent, why bother to return it, but she couldn't bear my insistence, so she had to do it.

Yun Hui left, and the room returned to its previous tranquility, but it was difficult for her mind to be the same as before. When I came to the window, I looked at the clouds in the clear blue sky through the window, and the feeling of powerlessness mixed with the accumulated depression filled my heart, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

A gust of wind blew down the rice paper with words written on the table, looking back, the huge word "forbearance" came into view, bent down to pick it up, held it in the palm of the hand and laughed bitterly at himself, and muttered: "A knife on the head of the word forbearance, it is really a knife that sees blood, and destroys people's hearts and livers." But what can you do if you can't bear it, this is not the other place, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, remember to remember. ”
