Chapter 55: The Year

"Nine... Nine girls. ”

Gu Anning asked Qingyuan Crescent Moon to come over to the South Courtyard, and he would stand in the house and not dare to look up at her.

Because of the matter of the five girls, the crescent moon is still to blame in her heart, and after half a month, she always dreams that her own girl vomits blood in her mouth and asks for her life.

Gu Anning pestled a face, and as soon as the crescent moon spoke, Mother Ning stepped forward and knelt down.

"You little, you do things that hurt others and yourself. ”

The crescent moon turned pale, rubbed her knees in pain, and quickly shook her head. "The crescent moon didn't hurt anyone, it didn't hurt anyone. ”

Mother Ning turned her head to look at her girl, and then reached out and pinched several places on the crescent moon's body, and Qingtong on the side covered the crescent moon's mouth again.

"He also said that it didn't hurt anyone, didn't the fifth girl be killed by you, and she went to ventilate and report the news. ”

The crescent moon looked at Mother Ning in horror and couldn't move again, the tears of pain fell, and after half a sound, Gu Anning signaled Mother Ning to stop, and Qingtong also retreated to the side and waited.

"Nine girls spare their lives..."

"Spare you, I am like a sister with the fifth girl, she has always been steady in her work, and when it comes to the critical moment, she should have seen her for the last time, you informed the third young master Zhao on the one hand, and went to the eldest lady to report the news, do you really no one knows about this?"

Qingtong went to inquire about this matter and learned that Aunt Liu took someone to see the fifth girl, yes, it was indeed accidental, and she bumped into Mother Xu, who came to the eldest lady before she had time to make a statement.

"The slave and maid knew that they were wrong, and the slave and maid deserved to die, and begged the girl to spare the slave and maid. "The crescent moon is haunted by nightmares every day, and it is already difficult, but now it is naturally explained after a little beating.

The crescent moon was served by Aunt Chen, but the matter of Beixiangyuan reached the ears of the eldest lady no matter how big or small.

But this time, what Gu Anning wanted to know was not about it, but about being like a girl a few years ago.

The crescent moon is twenty years old this year, and seven years ago was also thirteen.

After listening to the crescent moon choked and explained the matter of the five girls, Gu Anning sighed in his heart, he had guessed earlier, and he felt a chill in his heart when he heard it today.

"So, the matter of the fifth girl has nothing to do with Aunt Liu?"

The crescent moon nodded again and again, thinking that the ninth girl must have called her over for Aunt Liu, and then said. "Aunt Liu was just a coincidence that day. ”

Gu Anning smiled, "The fifth girl treats you well, if you hurt her so much, aren't you afraid that she will turn into a ghost and come to you to ask for her life?"

Crescent looked around in panic and shook her body.

"The slave maid is not intentional, but the slave maid is from a poor family so she made this decision and begged the five girls to spare her life... Spare your life..."

As he spoke, the man knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"It is not the dead who will spare you, but the living. Gu Anning's face was slightly cold, he stood up and walked to the crescent moon, bent down slightly, and lowered his eyes to the crescent moon. "Aunt Chen lost her beloved daughter, and it is naturally the people of Beixiangyuan who suffer, and I also understand your suffering. ”

The crescent moon calmed down, and when she heard that the ninth girl meant to do something for her, she panicked and said what she shouldn't have said.

Without waiting for the crescent moon to reply, Qingzhu brought five hundred taels of silver tickets, which were originally used in front of Aunt Liu, and the silver was also something that Gu Anyu took before his death.

"Compared to you doing things for the masters in Beixiang Garden, our masters are much more generous, and this silver is enough for the family to live a good life. Qingzhu didn't speak politely, stuffed the silver ticket directly into the crescent moon's hand, and retreated to the side with a muffled snort.

Aunt Chen is usually harsh, and the value of the rewarded things is not more than five taels, although the crescent moon is waiting in front of her, she is scolded and angry, and even during the New Year, the things rewarded by the master of the other courtyard, her own master is not more than half, this month, if you make a mistake, you think of a way to deduct a lot.

Don't look at Aunt Chen's background, she is from the Chen family, and her bones are full of copper smell.

Although the crescent moon didn't know what the ninth girl wanted her to do, she couldn't stand the temptation of the five hundred taels of silver tickets.

Involuntarily nodded in response, holding the silver ticket in his hand.

Seeing this, Gu Anning was satisfied, there are two ways to treat people, one is to salute first and then soldier, and the other is to give a slap and then sugar, the latter is naturally effective for people who are greedy.

"Get up, although Fang has just suffered a little, it can be regarded as to compensate the fifth girl, now that she has gone, there is no need to worry about it in the future. ”

Gu Anning said, reaching out to help the crescent moon up, the more this is the case, the more the crescent moon finds that the nine girls are incomprehensible.

"The Gu family you have been in the North Courtyard since you were a child, and you have been the big girl of the North Xiangyuan because you are also clever, and there are a lot of things you want to know. With that, Gu Anning turned around and sat down, looked at the crescent moon and looked at the silver ticket in his hand from time to time, smiled, and continued. "A few years ago, I slept in the lotus pond, and when I went back, I fell seriously ill. ”

mentioned the lotus pond a few years ago, and the crescent moon's face was white again.

That year, it was like dying in the lotus pond, although she had not seen it with blue eyes, but she heard a lot, like a girl suddenly had a strange illness, just like the five girls, the blood in her mouth was vomited, and she fell into the lotus pond at that time and almost took the young nine girls down.

Hearing the girl ask about this, the crescent moon told the story back and forth.

After listening to her, Gu Anning groaned, saying this, she was frightened when she saw a girl vomiting blood and falling into the lotus pond.

With symptoms similar to those of the fifth girl, is it also the hand of the eldest lady?

Thinking that the eldest lady was her biological mother, but the methods were so vicious, her heart became more and more troubled.

Qingtong saw that his girl was thinking about something, so he said to the crescent moon. "It's not too early, you just go back first, and don't let people mistake yourself for thinking how much you have suffered!"

The crescent moon naturally understood, although the forehead was a little red, it would be fine after a while, and the bruises on the body were blue and purple, and the slightest touch would hurt to inhale.

Mother Ning's hands will not be pinched, the people from Beixiangyuan are watching, if she suffers, Aunt Chen is not going to make a big noise.

Qingzhu sent people out, and Ning's mother and Qingtong also retreated to work.

"Girl..."Qing Glaze came in for a while, and called twice before Gu Anning came back to his senses in shock.

"What's wrong?"

"Fang Cai's slave came back from the third entrance gate, I heard that the Xu family came to the Gu family to be hired, and now they are on the side of the East Courtyard, or Mrs. Xu and Young Master Xu came to the door in person. ”

The Xu family, Gu Anning suddenly remembered, this was the person that the second lady wanted to tell her.

If you can look down on her as a concubine, she will naturally come to hire, and it is obvious that people have designated a girl, but the second lady made a mistake in order to prevent her from entering the Jiang family.
