Chapter Ninety-Eight: Never at the mercy of others
began a bunch of maids and wives to serve Su Yiqing to freshen up, Xin'er is a big girl, and she doesn't have to do some small things by herself, and she doesn't need to compete with some little maids for favor in front of the young lady.
After finishing the work, the maids and women retreated, the lights went out, and Xin'er lay on the pedal, and then asked softly, "County Lord, are you asleep?"
Su Yiqing said lightly: "I don't want to hear you talk nonsense."
"Yes, County Lord." Xin'er sat up and whispered everything she saw and heard today to Su Yiqing, and she didn't dare to hide it, she thought about it, she was just a maid, Miss could do whatever she asked her to do, she couldn't hide it, besides, she didn't know anything at all, why did she hide it for Mama Zhou?
After listening to Xin'er's story, Su Yiqing didn't say a word, as if she hadn't heard it
Xin'er was full of disappointment, and slowly lay down, maybe today's incident was just a temptation of Miss to her, but think about the appearance of the Cui Qiao girl who was dragged away by the official messenger with scars all over her body, if this thing was planned by Miss in secret, then Miss would have become too terrible.
Miss used to be so kind, willing to take risks to save a little girl like her, who didn't know her, but now ...... There is also her share of credit for this, maybe she and Mrs. Zhou are wrong.
Xin'er's guilt for taking care of herself.
Su Yiqing, who was lying on the bed, was actually not so calm, and her heart was like a stormy wave.
I thought that Mama Zhou was in a hurry for quick success, but I didn't expect her to be so bold, she stretched out her hand to the backyard of even the wind, and even the red card in the Qinglou was also taken at will, these Qinglou have prominent people behind the scenes, no, it is impossible for a single grandma to have so much energy, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve the goal, is Mama Zhou also like a core, is there anyone behind the master?
This is very likely, now her identity is a little sensitive, although this Lian Yufeng is currently a little out of position. But in the end, it is still the Great Zhou royal family, and it is not known what kind of influence it has in the Great Zhou, and it is not yet known whether someone will want to target her, or use their marriage to provoke relations between the two countries and profit from it.
The next morning, before dawn, Xin'er got up lightly, and the maid on duty at night couldn't sleep lazy, so she had to get up first, simply clean herself up, and then serve the master.
"You're going to inquire about it again today. What the hell happened to that Cuiqiao. β
Xin'er tidied up herself. As soon as I approached the bed. I wanted to see if the young lady was awake, and the sudden voice startled her.
It was still pitch black outside, and this thin, low, and emotionless voice suddenly sounded like this, and it was easy for people to make some kind of connection. Ordinary people are easy to be scared, of course, Xin'er is not an ordinary person, she quickly came back to her senses, knowing that this was the young lady telling her, and immediately whispered: "Yes, county master, the slave will inquire carefully."
It turned out that the young lady was not indifferent.
Xin'er felt a little relieved, no matter how bad the environment was, no one would want the person around them to become a ruthless person.
β¦β¦
In the small yard. Sister-in-law Zhou came out with a plate of green pears, and said with a smile to the cuckoo who was weaving a wicker basket on the side, "Cuckoo, rest for a while and eat a pear." This pear was picked by a big cow in the mountains, it is small, but it is very sweet and crisp, you can taste it."
The cuckoo raised his head, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law Zhou, I'll eat this basket after I finish making it."
"Let's put it down first, you kid, your body is not well, don't look at the small wicker basket, it's also quite laborious, you think it's interesting now, don't feel tired, you will have a sore back and legs at the end of the day, put it down." Sister-in-law Zhou persuaded with a tone of pity.
"I'm not tired." Cuckoo smiled, "It's also fun to weave wicker baskets, it's the same as weaving grasshoppers when I was a child, it reminds me of being busy with my father in the field when I was ......a child."
Cuckoo said, her voice lowered, the smile on her face disappeared, and she remembered her sad past.
"Oh, my big cow is also very good at weaving grasshoppers and other gadgets, he can make it up well, take it at the temple fair, a penny a penny, a basket will be sold quickly, the city filial piety likes." Sister-in-law Zhou saw that the cuckoo was sad, so she quickly opened the topic, was betrayed, and was almost beaten to death, whoever remembered it would be sad, although she was very curious, whether this cuckoo still had a family.
"Yes." The cuckoo smiled reluctantly, and lowered his head to weave the wicker basket again.
"Mother, I'm back."
Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't find anything to say, and when she was embarrassed, Da Niu's voice eased the atmosphere.
The big cow came in with a lotus leaf bag.
Sister-in-law Zhou was relieved and hurriedly said, "Da Niu is back, I bought something."
"It's nothing, it's just that Aunt Jin in Qianjie said that her daughter came back from the countryside and brought a lot of fresh lotus seeds, so that ......"
"Throw it away for me right away." Sister-in-law Zhou didn't wait for Da Niu to finish speaking, so she scolded loudly.
Sister-in-law Zhou, who has always been gentle to people, suddenly raised her eyebrows like this, which made Du Juan startled and looked at Sister-in-law Zhou in surprise.
"Go ahead, what are you doing?" Zhou Sha stood still stupidly when the big cow arrived, took a step forward, snatched the lotus leaf bag with his hand, trotted two steps, threw it outside the door, and came back and continued to scold, "Let me see you take the Jin family's things again, or talk to the Jin family, I have to break your legs, do you hear?"
Seeing such an angry sister-in-law Zhou, Da Niu dared to say anything for a while, and agreed again and again.
Sister-in-law Zhou's anger subsided.
Turning her head to see Du Juan's surprised look, she hurriedly explained: "Du Juan, you don't know, this Aunt Jin's daughter...... has entered that kind of dirty realm, but she still wants to find an honest descendant to be her son-in-law, always pestering our big cow, I'm afraid that something will happen, her daughter is shameless anyway, we are white. β
As soon as he spoke, Du Juan's face suddenly turned pale, and he bowed his head and was silent.
"Cuckoo, your hands are bleeding." The big bull screamed in amazement.
"Eh, yes, cuckoo, put it down, I'll give you the ointment." Sister-in-law Zhou squatted down and looked at the cuckoo's hand, her delicate fingers were full of blood, and it seemed that the cut by the wicker was not small.
"No need, Sister-in-law Zhou, I still have ointment in the house, I'll just apply it myself." The cuckoo lowered her head and went back to the house, she didn't lie, a few days ago she was injured all over her body, both internal and external, and the doctor prescribed a lot of medicine to stop bleeding and remove stasis.
Da Niu looked at the back of the cuckoo stupidly, and complained: "Mother, just scold me." Why are you so fierce in front of the cuckoo? Look at it scares people. β
Sister-in-law Zhou also regretted a little, she was really angry with her son, how many times did she tell him, the city is not as good as the countryside, don't just take the things of other people in the city, so as not to be confused afterwards, he just didn't listen, this time he actually brought the things of the golden widow's house where everyone was hiding, and she was angry.
Thinking of Widow Jin and her daughter, Sister-in-law Zhou scolded again: "This is not you yet." Then pull and pull with the daughter of the golden widow. See that I don't break your legs. β
"Mother. Don't say what you say so ugly, whoever pulls and pulls with Aunt Jin's daughter, I just look at their poor orphans and widows, and they just have something to help. That is, to Aunt Jin, Hong'er hasn't looked at me directly, look at what you said......" Da Niu couldn't help but muttered twice.
"It's better not to have it, who is right about this kind of thing, the daughter of the golden widow is bent on marrying a rich man, and she is willing to be a small one, it is naturally good to marry, in case she can't get married, don't look back and hit the neighbors around her. When the time comes, you stupid boy, will be the first to be caught. Sister-in-law Zhou glared at her son a few times, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Marrying a daughter-in-law is a lifelong event, and if you want to marry, you can marry a cuckoo." Diligent and simple. β
"Mother, look at what you said." Da Niu's face suddenly turned red.
Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Sister-in-law Zhou had already seen her son's intentions, and whispered: "If you want to have a heart, you have to work harder, you can't be entangled with those women outside, in case there is any gossip, that good girl is willing to marry you."
"I know my mother." Da Niu blushed and told Sister-in-law Zhou, "Don't scold me in front of the cuckoo in the future, lest she look down on me." β
"This kid has a long heart." Sister-in-law Zhou chuckled.
"Is Sister-in-law Zhou at home?"
As she was talking, there was a shout outside the door, and Sister-in-law Zhou hurriedly responded: "Here, here, Da Niu, you should quickly weave this basket, lest the cuckoo's hand be injured and he will be busy when he sees it."
"Okay." The big cow obediently squatted down and made a basket.
The cuckoo, who had applied a few ointments to stop the bleeding in the room, looked at his hands blankly, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
Sister-in-law Zhou said Aunt Jin's daughter's words, and then cut out her heart every word, it turned out that what the mother in the building said was true, as long as it came out of that place, who cares if you are innocent? Even if she only walks around the kiln, she will have a stain on her body, not to mention that she has been sold to the kiln since she was a child.
In the past, there was a sister who persuaded the sisters like this, everyone hopes to clean themselves up, save enough silver taels to go out and marry a white family, but it is not easy to say, no one will believe that you are innocent, it is better to earn more silver taels, with money, it is easy to do, you can go far, change your name and surname, remarry as a widow, and even say that you are separated from your husband's family.
With a thick dowry, people with a little thickness will not dislike it, and they must not let people know that the land of fireworks comes out, otherwise even if they give birth to a son, they will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
But she felt that to be a human being was to be clean, and it was better to die than to live dirty.
Da Niu's family is really a good person, treat people well, what she expected is to be able to live in such a person's house, it can be seen that Da Niu and Sister-in-law Zhou like her very much, and Sister-in-law Zhou also intentionally or unintentionally said what kind of daughter-in-law she wants to marry, almost all of them are according to her appearance.
She felt very sweet about this, and diligently helped Sister-in-law Zhou to do the work......
It turned out that this qiΔ was all her dreaming, and Sister-in-law Zhou was also like ordinary people, and she had contempt for them!
Sister-in-law Zhou and Mama Zhou were talking outside.
Mama Zhou didn't want the cuckoo to see her, so she didn't even enter the door, but only asked Sister-in-law Zhou outside: "How is this girl doing?" Did you say anything, like what relatives you were looking for?"
"No, she said that she has no relatives to turn to, only one sister, and she has long been sold to where she has been sold and is nowhere to be found." Sister-in-law Zhou said, looking at Mama Zhou with some embarrassment and said, "Auntie, you see, I like this girl very much, and my eldest cow is not young...... Isn't it?"
Mama Zhou smiled lightly, "As long as the cuckoo is willing, there is naturally nothing that is not okay." β
"Really." Sister-in-law Zhou was overjoyed, during this time she carefully observed, this cuckoo likes their family very much, and there is no intention of leaving, their population is simple, the father and son have craftsmanship, there are houses and land in the countryside, many girls like it, and they will not refuse to come to the cuckoo.
"It's just that you don't have to be in such a hurry to bring it up, the girl has just been sinned. Now that we are taking her in, rashly proposing this will make the girl misunderstand that we are forcing others, and even if she is willing, her heart is still pimple. Mama Zhou reminded Sister-in-law Zhou with a smile.
"That's, I know, and I won't bring it up all at once." Sister-in-law Zhou said with a smile, she is not the kind of person who is scathing and mean, but she is a little unsure of Mama Zhou's attitude.
This matter is also a bit weird, Mama Zhou is not childless, why should she entrust them to take care of such a little girl. As Mama Zhou said. I can't bear to see the little girl being tortured to death. After being cured, she was sent to a good family to continue to be a maid, and Sister-in-law Zhou also worked as a maid in a big family in her early years, and she knew that some things were not so simple. Although I liked the cuckoo, I didn't dare to bring it up rashly, and after several temptations, I felt that this cuckoo had no relatives and no reason, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with that powerful person, so I had the courage to ask Mama Zhou.
Now that Mama Zhou said that it was okay, she was naturally happy.
Mama Zhou said a few words and left quickly, not noticing that there was a pair of eyes staring at her behind her......
Su Yiqing looked at the maids who came in and out, and only felt bored for a while. Everyone was busy, and she was like a puppet to be fiddled with, sometimes bringing her clothes to try on, and sometimes putting jewelry on her head...... At first, people asked her opinion, but she just said casually after tiredness. Slowly, no one asked.
I guess the bride is embarrassed.
The divorce ceremony is only five days away, and Su Yiqing's heart is becoming more and more flustered, in another five days, she will be someone else's family, and she has to get along with a strange man day and night, and she doesn't know what the other party looks like and what temperament.
Thinking of this qiΔ made her want to escape, but she couldn't.
With such a mood, Su Yiqing threw a qiΔ away for Mama Li to deal with, and found an excuse to hide in the bedroom in a daze.
Xin'er came back, walked in gently, and saluted: "County master, the slave is back."
Su Yiqing glanced at her, but still didn't speak.
Xin'er has been accustomed to her indifference these days, so she took a few steps forward, leaned in front and said, "County master, the slave maid went out today to inquire about a news, saying that Cui Qiao was infected with a vicious disease in the cell and has gone."
died, Su Yiqing was shocked, another human life disappeared like this, and she couldn't help pinching her forehead.
"County master, when the slave came back, she saw that Mama Zhou had gone out again, so the slave and maid followed." Xin'er whispered, "The slave maid saw that Mama Zhou went to a family's house, talked to a woman for a few words, and then left, the slave maid asked the neighbors around a little inquire, saying that the family recently took in a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little maid, saying that it was a big family to drive out, and she was scarred before, and the doctor often went to the outpatient clinic for the first few days. β
Su Yiqing pondered for a moment and asked, "Didn't Mama Zhou go anywhere else except this family?"
Xin'er shook her head, "There shouldn't be, the slave maid specially inquired with the concierge, Mama Zhou only came back half a pillar of incense time earlier than the slave maid, she didn't have the slave maid in her legs and feet, and she didn't have time to go anywhere else." β
It seems that Mama Zhou didn't try to inform Feng Rou at all, what does Mama Zhou want to do?
In a few days, she will get married, is she just marrying with questions? While bothering to adapt to the new environment, I also have to deal with a sinister Mama Zhou, which is tiring to think about.
No, she can't bring all the troubles with her, and take on new challenges while dealing with old contradictions.
Thinking of this, Su Yiqing stared at Xin'er and said, "You betrayed me, I don't know if you stayed by my side with sincerity or falsehood, or will you stab me in the back again?"
"The county master, the slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid ...... to the county lord"
"Okay, don't say curses and swears or anything like that, I don't believe what comes out of people's mouths right now." Su Yiqing said lightly, "If you want to be sincere, help me do something, I said in advance, this thing is a little dangerous, if you don't want to do it, I will not force it, but if you agree, stab me out in the back, I will never spare you." β
"County master, the slave and maid must do it, and never say it, even if it is to kill the slave and maid." Xin'er's tone was firm, and her face looked like a righteous man preparing to die.
Su Yiqing sneered: "It's better to say it well than to do it well, this thing is not so strict, to be precise, I asked you to find a way to enter the Gaomen compound to meet someone, speaking of which, you also did it at the beginning, but this access control is estimated to be much stricter, and it is not so easy."
As she spoke, Su Yiqing whispered to SΓΉ Xin'er about Feng Rou.
Xin'er suppressed the horror in her heart and asked, "County Lord." What if that Fengrou says she can't settle her sister?"
"You don't care about this, pass the word to Feng Rou, and then lead the person to her, and then you can leave, whatever their sisters do." Su Yiqing said this, hesitated, "In this way, you give that cuckoo a few taels of silver, let her rent a house outside or go back to Zhou's house, how about love in the future." β
"Yes. Princess. Xin'er was full of doubts. But he didn't dare to ask Su Yiqing why. She knew it was useless to ask.
It's not too difficult to find Feng Rou, and Xin'er can't think of a way, so she directly tells the concierge that she is Feng Rou's sister. I heard that my sister came to visit again.
The little slave who sold herself in a big family, and didn't say that her family was not allowed to visit, Xin'er felt that her age was about the same as Feng Rou's sister, unless Feng Rou herself came out, otherwise it would be difficult for others to distinguish between serious and fake.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the porter let her in, and then waited in the second door.
While waiting, Xin'er secretly looked around, only to feel that it was different from Yuanping Bofu. It's not that it's about the houses and the like, it's just that the atmosphere is different.
Occasionally, one or two servants walked by, all of them hurriedly lowered their eyebrows, and when they saw such a raw face as her, they didn't look at her much. One by one seemed to have no curiosity, and at first glance no one was staring at her, not even the porter who had led the way just now, but she just felt as if there were many pairs of eyes staring at her all around.
Xin'er slowly became a little frightened, and suddenly thought, pretending to be some Fengrou sister, and directly said that it is not better to have the news of Fengrou's sister specially come to inform her, so it is not a lie, this is not a lie, this is in case Fengrou recognizes that she is not her sister, and without saying a word, she will order someone to drag her out to send her to the official matter, and no one will cry for her to kill directly, after all, she is trespassing on someone else's mansion, this is still a foreign little prince.
In Xin'er's thoughts, a gust of incense blew.
A beautiful woman wearing a light green light gauze dress hurriedly came with eager steps, stepped forward and grabbed Xin'er's hand, and said excitedly: "Cuckoo ......"
The beauty was only halfway through her words, and her voice immediately seemed to be stuck, obviously recognizing at a glance that it was not her own sister in front of her, and immediately showed a panicked face.
"Miss Fengrou, don't get excited, I didn't come out on purpose, there is really news of your sister-in-law, I was afraid that the concierge would not let me in just now, so I found this excuse in a hurry." Xin'er hurriedly said it clearly before Feng Rou didn't shout, lest this Feng Rou girl scream, I was afraid that it would be too late to speak.
Saying this, Feng Rou calmed down a little and asked, "There are more girls, but who are girls?"
Xin'er looked at this Fengrou for a moment.
is really an outstanding beauty, her skin is like a condensed fat like a blue orchid, her eyes are as soft as autumn water, she is worried at the moment, her brows are tightly locked, and she also has infinite pity for women.
If you talk about facial features, I am afraid that only the five young ladies in the entire Yuanping Bofu can compare, but the five young ladies do not have such a touching style, nor do they make people feel pity at first sight, this may be the so-called temperament.
This gentle casual stop is a beautiful painting.
Xin'er couldn't help but worry about her own miss, men are all lustful, and her own miss is good, but when it comes to beauty, it is really far from being as soft as this.
Thinking about what Miss said about Mama Zhou's actions, Xin'er suddenly had a feeling at this time, maybe Mama Zhou was right, a beauty like Fengrou should be held in her hand.
Such a thought just appeared in Xin'er's mind, and soon, she dispelled the idea, let's do what Miss wants, Miss is also quite pitiful, life is all at the mercy of others, and now she wants to make her own decisions, she shouldn't interfere more.
After thinking about it like this, Xin'er said: "Miss Fengrou, if it's convenient, I'll bring your sister here later, you sisters will meet, and what plans you have after that depends on your own."
Yes! Feng Rou was suddenly surprised and asked, "Can the girl make it clear?"
ps:
Plus more is finally completed, dear, ask for encouragement, ask for support, tomorrow is a new week, don't forget to vote for female frequency recommendation, of course, there are other better. o(n_n)o
