Chapter 209: Dong Xiao

I was already surprised when I heard Dong Xiao say that she was the sister of Father-in-law De, but at this time, she said that the reason why she did this was because of my kindness to her brother Father-in-law De, and I was even more curious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I steadied myself and listened to her continue.

Seeing that I was no longer holding that hysterical emotion, Dong Xiao smiled again, Shi Shiran saluted again, and said, "Xie Niangniang is willing to listen to the slave and maid finish speaking." Then he began to say: "When the slave was young, there was a big flood in the house. The fire and water were ruthless, and my mother and father lost their lives in this flood in order to save my brother and me. After that, the slave and the elder brother were left to rely on each other. ”

The slave maid and her brother went north with the fleeing refugees, and later, they arrived in the capital. The capital is prosperous, and some of the refugees go to the docks to help them live, and some go to big families to work as servants. But my brother and I couldn't go anywhere. As soon as Dong Xiao spoke, he didn't say the main topic directly, but started from the beginning. Since I was determined to listen, I naturally listened to her patiently.

Speaking of this, I saw tears in Dong Xiao's eyes - I am afraid that the hardships of life back then were engraved in her heart like a carving knife, which is unforgettable. After stabilizing his emotions, Dong Xiao continued: "The slave maid and my brother were too young at the beginning, whether they went to help or to be a handmaid, except for those who wanted to sell themselves, they all disliked us for being too young. At the beginning, there was a big family who wanted to buy his brother to be the entourage of the young master, but he only signed for ten years, but the brother insisted on being with the slave and maid, and in the end he didn't go. ”

Speaking of this, Dong Xiao couldn't hold back any longer, the tears in his eyes began to fall, and he said as he fell: "At that time, it was freezing cold, and the slave maid was sick again. My brother went out to beg for food in order to get me something to eat. Can this begging ...... let him meet the prince who came out of the palace to buy people. ”

I knew a little in my heart that it was probably my father-in-law who sold himself in exchange for silver to treat her. Sure enough, she continued: "When my brother heard that he could give ten taels of silver when he entered the palace as a eunuch, he signed a deed, took ten taels of silver and went to the doctor, and brought a roast chicken with oil flowers to the slave maid. ”

"My brother comforted the slave and maid, saying that entering the palace is equivalent to a green cloud road, if you get the blue eyes of any master, you don't have to worry about having a bad time in the future. He also asked me to take the remaining silver taels, put two acres of thin fields, and stay outside with peace of mind, and when he had issued a copy and got empty, he would send it out for the slave and maid to save as a dowry. ”

As Dong Xiao spoke, the tears that he had just wiped away flowed out again. After many wipings, the eye sockets are a little red. I sighed lightly and said, "Father-in-law De is really a good brother. After a pause, he said, "Then how did you enter the palace?" ”

Dong Xiao nodded and said, "Brother is naturally a good brother." What my brother said, how could the slave dare to believe it? It is said that the palace is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and if you are not careful, you will die! Even if the brother tells the flowers, how can the slave and maid rest assured? ”

"So you entered the palace?" I said.

Dong Xiao nodded again and said, "Yes, so in the second year after the slave maid recovered from her illness, she hid it from her brother and registered with her aunt who chose the palace maid." The elder brother refused to be separated from the slave and maid, so he was not bought by the big family to be a retinue for ten years, and the slave and maid would rather enter the palace than be separated from the wall of the elder brother's palace. ”

I was silent, but I was thinking in my heart, if Dong Xiao is really the biological sister of Father-in-law De, and the relationship with Father-in-law is so deep, then if Dongxiao has ulterior motives, wouldn't Father-in-law De ...... I suddenly became worried about the Nian Yang entrusted to my father-in-law.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Dong Xiao seemed to know what I was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the slave is not a spy sent by someone else. After the slave maid entered the palace, he saw his brother, and the elder brother reprimanded the slave and maid, and then entrusted the relationship and sent the slave and maid to the remote palace to be a sprinkler and sweeper. In order to prevent slaves and maids from being contaminated with the rights and wrongs of these harems. ”

"It wasn't until the last time that Niangniang had to make up for four people here, and my brother called the slave and maid, saying that Niangniang was generous and gentle. If you are still working as a sprinkler and sweeper in that palace, it is unknown where she will be transferred in the future, so it is better to come to Xianfu Palace. And my brother said that he had been thinking about Sister Yang all the time, and asked the slave to help him more after he came. ”

I pondered for a moment and asked, "Oh......?" There was a bit of distrust in the words.

Dong Xiao said again: "Niangniang, do you remember when the slave and maid came, she said that the slave and maid would not know anything? The elder brother was in a hurry to reprimand the slave at that time. As soon as Dong Xiao said this, I remembered that this girl was disrespectful at the beginning, and Father-in-law De interceded for her. Nian Yang seemed to be unhappy because of this, but after a few days, he was fine again.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that what she said seems to be the truth. My face was flat, and I already had seven points of faith in my heart, but I refused to show it on my face, but said, "Hmm." Go on. ”

Dong Xiao nodded and continued: "After the slave came, I did find that Sister Nianyang also had a friendship for her brother, but she didn't seem to say anything. The slave thought about helping her brother, but after thinking about it, she gave up. This time, the slave and maid guessed because they knew everything. ”

I heard her get to the point, so I listened carefully, only to see her continue: "The slave knows that my brother likes Sister Nianyang in my heart, and I also know that Sister Nianyang likes my brother, but Niangniang doesn't give them marriage, but she doesn't have to come back after Sister Nianyang leaves the palace...... Niangniang, Ben is a concubine, hired as a wife, Sister Nianyang has been with Niangniang for so long, how can you bear to make her a concubine? ”

It can be seen that this matter is a last resort. Although Niangniang is now grounded, the emperor secretly instructed that there should be no shortage, and with her brother, there will be no shortage of anything in Xianfu Palace. Niangniang must not have made such a plan because of her own fall from grace. So...... The only one who can make Niangniang do this is Niangniang's relative, Lord Langwen, the servant of the ministry. ”

I listened to Dong Xiao say word by word, and my heart was a little tight. If Dong Xiao is not the sister of Father-in-law, but someone else, can you see something? I suddenly understood why Grandpa De didn't allow her to participate in those intrigues, because she ...... The mind is exquisite and simple-minded, if you don't offend people, you will definitely be used.

Dong Xiao didn't know what I was thinking, and continued: "So it makes sense. Therefore, Sister Si Yuan and Sister Nian Yang went out of the palace, Niang Niang was worried that there was a change in the family, this change must be a big change, and Niang Niang was worried that it would fluctuate into the palace, which would affect Sister Si Yuan and Sister Nian Yang. And the slave is grateful to Niangniang for treating her brother, firstly because Niangniang let go of Sister Nianyang and her brother, and secondly, because Niangniang did not let her brother get involved in this matter. ”
