Chapter 10: The Nightmare of Daiyuan
Xiao Dong originally slept outside the second young master's house, but now that Zhao Jiu is here, the second young master ordered him to move to the side house, Zhao Jiu slept outside the second young master's house, and Xiao Man slept on another couch in the outhouse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Zhao Jiu hadn't slept in bed for a few days, but he couldn't sleep when he got into bed, and after staying up for half the night, he finally fell asleep in a daze, but Zhou Kunlun's ugly face crawled into Zhao Jiu's dream again. Zhao Jiu was overwhelmed, he struggled hard, the restraints on his body suddenly lightened, and Zhao Jiu woke up suddenly.
A cold hand put on Zhao Jiu's forehead, Zhao Jiu almost opened him with a palm, but saw that the man was only wearing a long shirt, the neckline was open obliquely, his skin was snowy, his lips were red like plums, his eyes were shining, and he was shining with a strange light in the dark night.
Zhao Jiu sat up rubbly, his mind was extremely clear: "Second Young Master!" β
The mischievous moonlight poked his head in from the window, and Zhao Jiu realized that he was very close to the face of the second young master, and he was almost -
Zhao Jiu hurriedly retreated, but his hands came up.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
"Nope! I don't know what the second young master commands? β
"You're afraid of me?"
"It's not! The villain served people for the first time, and the villain didn't know what he did well and what he didn't do well-" There was no way back from behind, and the face was in front of him again, Zhao Jiu rolled out of bed with a grunt, stood still against the door, and said in a trembling voice but firmly: "The villain doesn't know that this couch originally belonged to the second young master, and the villain is used to doing rough work, so it doesn't matter if he sleeps on the floor." β
Second Young Master Wu was stunned, he looked at Zhao Jiu, and after a while, he got up and went back to the inner room, and Xiao Man also followed.
Zhao Jiu really didn't sleep on the couch again, he felt that the couch was dirty, and he couldn't wait to jump into the pond to wash himself. For the rest of the night, he didn't dare to sleep or sleep, so he simply sat down against the door, took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes and practiced. There was a sound of Suo Suo in the back room, and Zhao Jiu looked at his nose and nose, and gradually disappeared.
Zhao Jiu woke up when the sky turned white, and he didn't know when he fell asleep against the door. Look at Xiaoman's couch again, there is no one on it. Zhao Jiu was stunned, recovered after a while, tidied up his couch with a solemn face, opened the door and walked out.
The wind was blowing outside the house, and Zhao Jiu was awake from head to toe, but his mind was blank. Although he was sold to Wu Mansion, from the bottom of his heart, this is indeed a good place, doing the same work as in the Fugui Tavern before, with food to eat, clothes to wear, the house never leaks, and Steward Zhang and Brother Ma treat him very well. However, the second young master is like this-
What should he do?
Green smoke came out of the roof of the small stove room, Zhao Jiu walked over and pushed the door open, but it was early summer when he was busy in the house. Chu Xia was startled when she saw Zhao Jiu's death, and almost knocked the basin in her hand down, Zhao Jiu stretched out his hand to support her, Chu Xia had a sympathetic look on his face, and asked cautiously: "Zhao Jiu, did the second young master take you that?" β
Zhao Jiu shook his head and sat directly behind the stove to stir up the fire. In the early summer, he didn't do it, so it's no wonder that there was smoke on the roof, and the stove was not yet gone. His appearance in Chu Xia's eyes was even more worrying, Chu Xia put down the basin, moved a small bench and sat next to Zhao Jiu, and comforted: "Zhao Jiu, we are not happy about this matter, don't take it to heart!" This person will always encounter some involuntary things in the world, you must not think about breaking your life for a while! β
"Has anyone in the second young master's house ever died?" Zhao Jiu turned his head to look at the early summer, his eyes blank.
Chu Xia looked at Zhao Jiu for a while, lowered his head and picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the stove, and said softly: "You have been in our house for half a year, right?" β
"It's been more than half a year."
"I shouldn't have told you, and I can't bear to see you like this. I know that you are a good person, and I must be very uncomfortable when I am ruined by the second young master, but the master can't control this matter, and it will not benefit you at all if you make a statement, it is better to stay in the garden honestly and serve the second young master, and then ask the master to let you out of the house and live your own life! β
"Sister Chuxia, have there ever been deaths in our house?"
"Our house has gone through three prefects for decades, how can it be that no one has died?"
Zhao Jiu's stubbornness came up: "What about Daiyuan?" β
Chu Xia was a little angry: "How did you screw it on?" β
Zhao Jiu looked at Chu Xia and stubbornly asked, "Everyone doesn't like me because I will become the same as Xiaoman?" β
"Alas!" Chu Xia sighed at the jumping flames in the stove, and whispered: "Before you came, it was Xiaobai who served the second young master, and the second young master usually only went to the theater for recreation, but I don't know why I drank too much wine that day, so Song Xiaolou sent the drama back." It was already late, and both of them rested in the house. β
"Xiaobai usually sleeps outside the young master's house, usually the east house is very quiet, that night the east house was a little noisy, everyone thought that the house was drunk and crazy, so they didn't go to their hearts."
"Who would have thought that on the second day, Xiaobai came out of the East House disheveled, and his expression was like you, lost and depressed! He walked out of Daiyuan and went to the master's room without saying a word, but he couldn't stop him, saying that the young master and Song Xiaolou had defiled him, and he had to ask the master to administer justice to him, otherwise he would go to the yamen to complain! β
"The master forcibly held Xiaobai in custody on the one hand, and asked the second young master to call on the other hand, and when he went to the east house, he saw that the house was inβ" Chu Xia sighed, and then said: "How can the master publicize such a scandal in the house?" β
"The old man put Xiaobai in the side courtyard, only to say that Xiaobai's brain was broken, and he disrupted the rules of the house, and he must be severely punished, but the second young master was only scolded and locked up for three days and went to the theater as usual."
Xiaobai didn't know what method he had used, and told the master that he knew his mistake and was willing to come back to serve the second young master. Seeing that he was sincere, the old man sent him back to Daiyuan, but he was not allowed to take half a step out of Daiyuan from now on. Xiao Bai answered, turned around and jumped into the well! β
At that time, the second young lady had been married into the Wu Mansion for more than a year, and they had never been in the same house again except for the wedding night. In the past, the gossip in the house only said that the second young lady wanted to return home after that incident, and the old lady personally came to comfort her, asking the second young lady to take care of the overall situation. β
"After the accident, the master asked the well to be filled and reopened, but since then, the second young lady has been sick, and it has not been good, and the people in the other houses have said that Xiaobai came back to ask for his life."
"I used to be in the lady's house, and I only came to Daiyuan when the second young master got married! According to his conscience, the second young lady is a good master, and the sins are all made by the second young master, why should God bully good people? Chu Xia lowered her head and wiped her eyes, got up and said, "I'm going to see if the second young lady is up, don't delay, I'm afraid the East House has already woken up!" β
Zhao Jiu hurriedly stood up and filled the basin with water for Chu Xia, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Sister Chu Xia!" β
Chu Xia shook his head and left with a basin, and Zhao Jiu also fetched a basin of water and walked towards the east house. At the moment, he can't leave, he can't escape, he can only take one step at a time.
Back in the East House, I pushed the door open, but the outhouse was still empty.
