Three or four of the people who stopped were frequent at home. The pen &www.biquge.info fun & pavilion was worried about being recognized, so he had to kneel in the pile of yellow leaves some distance from the flower path, and lowered his head deeply. It rained continuously for two days, and the yellow leaves were already full of mud. The muddy water soon seeped through the coarse cloth dress.

The group of people practiced incense, wore clogs, and the maids around them walked over with umbrellas.

From afar, I heard a young lady say softly: "Why do you want people to sweep away the yellow leaves in your princess and sister-in-law's house, 'blue clouds, yellow leaves', what a sense of meaning! Isn't it more autumn to keep it?"

Miss Fang Qi was born by her aunt, and she was raised in front of the old lady two years ago before she could enter and leave the princess's mansion. On weekdays, I am most afraid that others will look down on her. Hearing this, he felt embarrassed, so he replied: "Isn't the princess busy accompanying the Queen Mother and Concubine Qu, where would you see such a trivial matter." Most of them are just stupid and self-assertive. You are the daughter of the boudoir and the genius of the fat fan, why bother to discuss the short and long with fools?"

The group laughed and went far. The words that followed were no longer audible.

I fell to my knees in the rain. The heartache was unbearable, and tears had already flowed out, mixed with the rain flowing down the jaw and dripping on the muddy yellow leaves.

For a long time, I looked up at the inextricable rays of rain, and wiped away my tears with my sleeve. I got up and went to the kitchen.

"Squeak??" I stepped on a dead leaf again, turned my head to Zhan Lu and said: "In the past, Xi Shi had a clog corridor in the Wu Palace, and if you stepped on the fallen leaves and danced, you probably could have something in common." ”

Zhan Lu and Lian Di'er both laughed: "Madame is really a different way, what a clever thought!"

What a coincidence, I pursed my lips and smiled, and the tourmaline stone earrings in my ears shook gently, and there was a little coolness on my cheeks.

After more than a year of cleaning in the princess's mansion, I am still more and more beautiful at the age of 14. The guards of the princess's mansion always look at the flower path in the courtyard when they change shifts outside the second gate, and the stewards of the outer courtyard accidentally enter the main courtyard to reply and meet, and their throats roll inexplicably a few times, staring at them more before continuing to take steps. It's the kids who only keep their heads in the inner courtyard who love to spin around where I sprinkle and sweep when they have nothing to do. I often deliberately kick away the debris I sweep up, and then run away screaming and pushing each other.

That's all.

In February of the year when she was just fifteen years old, Princess Yongjia's concubine Ma Ye had the eldest son. Because the couple didn't have a son until they were in their early thirties, although it was only from the Qin family, the house was still decorated with lights and feasted guests.

Many people who couldn't even enter the corner gate of the princess's mansion on weekdays also went in and out for a few days.

It was also such a sunny day that day, and the Qin family, who had just carried her aunt, asked her brother Qin Er to enter the mansion and begged for an errand to buy in the inner courtyard in front of the horse.

The two siblings passed in front of me with a smug smile. I stopped my broom as I had done so, and stood by the side of the road with my hands down, letting the two of them and the girls pass.

But Qin's younger brother squinted at me. Immediately, he came over and pulled me in front of Aunt Qin.

He bared his teeth and said, "Sister, give this girl a reward." The mother-in-law in your brother's house still lacks a little attendant! Speaking of which, it is also your brother and sister, who work at home or come to the house, if there is no Peugeot little one to follow, it will also fall into the face of the eldest son of the horse and his own mother!"

Aunt Qin's bright eyes looked me up and down, "There is such a fox hiding in the house, how good it would be if the horse saw it one day! It's just that this girl is from the main courtyard, although she is just a rough maid with no rank, I still have to talk to the mother of the housekeeper of the main courtyard. Wait a few days. ”

When Aunt Qin's brother heard this, she was coquettish and stupid: "Brother, I won't hide it from you, a few days ago, my eldest nephew held a full moon wine, and I took a fancy to this girl! You are not afraid that the fire will be too big and suffocate your brother. ”

As he spoke, he slid his hand on my wrist and into my sleeve.

I was immediately ashamed, gritted my teeth and broke away from his hand, knelt on the ground, raised my head and said to Aunt Qin, "Aunt Mingjian." The maidservant has been sprinkling and sweeping, and never enters the inner court. I don't have that kind of mind about the horse master. Ask my aunt to let the maid stay in the house. ”

Aunt Qin was annoyed when she heard this, "What's the matter, don't you look down on my brother? That's really you." After speaking, he said to the maid who followed behind him, "Take off your earrings." I'll give you another gold reward when I get back. ”

I looked up, and the people present were either gloating, or they didn't want to offend Aunt Qin, who was in the limelight, and avoided my gaze for help.

Aunt Qin threw the earrings that the maid had taken off on the ground in front of me, "Well, this is the decision for you." ”

After saying that, she pulled her brother out of the second door, and she could still hear the unbridled laughter of their sister and brother from a distance.

I sat on my knees feebly, the old silver leaf earrings glistening mockingly in the sunlight.

When Chifu heard the news, I couldn't help it anymore, and threw myself into her arms and cried, hoarse. Chifu also cried with her. In the end, he pulled me up, ran to the big kitchen in the inner courtyard, and knelt in front of Mama Chen.

Mama Chen is the princess's companion, and she is the housekeeper mother of the big kitchen in the inner courtyard, and the second daughter Xishun is the big maid in front of the princess, so she is very embarrassed.

When she saw Chifu pulling me to kneel there, she didn't take the initiative to ask anything, and just looked at the two of us while throwing fried peanuts into her mouth.

Chifu spoke, "Please show mercy to Mama and transfer my little girl to the big kitchen." ”

Mama Chen half-narrowed her eyes when she heard this, chewed the peanuts very hard, and did not answer.

Chifu took out a purse containing some broken silver from her close-fitting jacket and handed it over: "Mama, this is a little bit of my heart with this girl." I saved it on weekdays when I did needlework.,My sister and I were sold into the house.,That's all there is to it.,Please don't dislike it.。 Help us. ”

I thought about the past, and I didn't pay attention to my feet, thinking that it was rainy a few days ago, and some moss grew on the side of the gravel road, and my feet were slippery when I stepped on it.

Zhan Lu hurriedly helped me steady: "Madame careful." ”

I smiled at her.

That day, Mama Chen was reluctant to go to the sprinkler and asked me to come, during which a daughter-in-law said a few words in her ear, presumably telling her what Aunt Qin had said before.

Mama Chen glanced at me and Chifu meaninglessly, as if she was about to be angry.

I stood up, patted the dust and moss on my dress, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the princess's housekeeper mother is afraid of Aunt Qin. Wanlian always thought that the princess was the one who was in charge of the princess's mansion. Even the mother of the eldest young master is the only princess. Forget it, I'll just accept my fate. ”

The daughters-in-law who were probing their brains outside the door began to whisper when they heard this.

Mama Chen was a little relieved, accepted Chifu's silver, and let us wait for news.

I waited for a few days in anxiety, waiting for Aunt Qin to succeed and throw me into the quagmire that I couldn't turn over, or wait for me to go to the big kitchen to settle down.

Finally, on the fifth day, the servants began to spread the news to each other, Aunt Qin had four or five rashes on her face for some reason, and the concubine was worried about some terrible illness and told her to keep it in the house. But she ran to the princess's courtyard to see the eldest young master, and annoyed the concubine, and ordered the housekeeper to send her to the Zhuangzi.

Mama Chen also asked the mother-in-law who was in charge of the main courtyard to take me to the big kitchen, and Chifu and I worked together day and day, taking care of each other. I have less contact with the outside world, and I have avoided those malicious greedy eyes, but I feel much better than before.

I don't know the details of Mama Chen's move, but I have weighed it: the princess and the people around the princess must be happy to see Aunt Qin out of the house.

The eldest young master did not have his aunt by his side to remind him every day, and the princess naturally had less things to block. What's more, on that day, I had already made it clear that my little maid should be in charge of the princess's side rather than Aunt Qin.

Mama Chen naturally wouldn't slap the princess in the face.

Otherwise, one thing is like this, two things are like this, and when the time comes, everyone will follow suit, and it will become a trend, and it will be difficult to clean it up. What's more, the princess herself naturally won't let this kind of wind appear in the mansion.

It's just that Mama Chen naturally won't give me a good face - my little maid has taken care of them and used them as a barrier. How to endure this breath.

However, after the first month or two of trouble, Mama Chen saw that I only gritted my teeth and suffered, did not make a pretentious tone, pushed back and obstructed, and worked diligently and diligently, but nodded secretly to me and Chifu. Although he still spoke ill of him, he was quite protective openly and secretly.

To this day, I still thank her for her help: even when she received the money, even if she was only for the princess and her own face in the first place.

Chifu also said: "Every time you slaughter dogs, you are all scholars. As long as you think about the faces of He Mansion and Zhu Mansion when our house was in trouble, I feel that this Mama Chen has her own cuteness. ”

Remembering this, I couldn't help but smile slightly.

Turning his head to look at the courtyard of the Le Dao Hall, it was shrouded in a faint layer of golden light by the autumn sun.

Being able to leave the princess's mansion, which may repeat the Qin Er incident at any time, I think I am also grateful to King Xiao.

And Ruan Shuoren scolded me for climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, which was not entirely wrong, I thought about it without self-deprecation, and returned to Duofuxuan.
