Snowflakes fluttered like snowflakes in the plum grove, and the lights were like beans under the eaves of the flower ridges. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The night was like ink, and under the faint light by the corner gate of the courtyard where the two entrances entered, two obese middle-aged servants, with old copper hairpins and bloated linen cotton robes, tucked their hands in their arms, and let out a mouthful of white air. Glancing impatiently in the direction of the main room, one of the rooms in the middle was brightly lit, and the shadows of two girls with hanging buns swayed on the dazzling screen window, wiping their eyes with handkerchiefs from time to time.

"Lao Cai's family, that one is afraid that he won't be able to get over tonight. But we can't wait here for her to breathe, can we?! We can't stay up here on such a cold day, and when that time comes, the one won't die, and we're afraid that the old bones will freeze to death first. ”

The mother-in-law who opened her mouth had her sideburns scattered and her face was yellow, and while casually staring at the movement in the main room, she tightened her placket and stomped her feet.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mrs. Cai and waited for the echo. Although they are all rough subordinates, they are also respectful and humble. Although Mrs. Cai is just a servant woman who manages the garden, she manages the garden of the old lady in the inner house, and her value is naturally higher than that of her, a fifth-class servant woman who takes care of the garden of the outer house and acts as a night watch. So when the words of complaint came out, she looked at Cai Pozi's face a little cautiously.

Cai Pozi's face was red, her fat body took a few steps in the dim light, and her tone was a little impatient: "Do you want me to be kind?" The big festival is approaching, and a lot of things in the house are still too busy, but there is such a thing in the third room! Although there is no master in charge of the third room now, and the third master can't come back when he is in office, but—"

said that he pointed to the main room, "After all, he is still a serious little master!" The old lady left us here to listen and trust. After all, we have also gone through several funerals in the house, not to mention the aftermath of Mrs. Jiang, even the aftermath of the third grandmother, I also followed Zhang Luo, and I have more ideas than those vase-like big girls in trouble! After that, the two of them were silent for a while.

The night breeze whirled, and Mrs. Cai couldn't help but shrink her neck, there was a pot of charcoal fire in the corner door, but the cold wind in the wax moon was biting, which made people yearn for a warm quilt more.

Three generations of Mrs. Cai's family have been servants in the Jiang Mansion, and those who are old and can't work hard for a long time are a little unbearable after staying up for several nights in a row. The scene has just been said, and there is some room for maneuver: "Send it away, go back and report it will be our account, there are two big girls in the horizontal and vertical room to take care of us, and we can't use it, they will scream if they are really angry, why don't we go to sleep?"

When the fat servant woman heard this, she hurriedly went into the corner door to pick up the bed, waited for Mrs. Cai to lie down on the bed, and then spread a thick mattress on the chair and got in.

Mrs. Cai told not to turn off the lights, thinking about it, she still let the blow go out, for fear that there would be a fire after she really fell asleep.

In the dark night, the two mothers-in-law also handed over and whispered: "You said that these three rooms are also backs, and the third grandmother who was like a flower and jade just died in the first half of the year, I heard that it is such a girl?" I'm going to follow・・・・・・"

"Isn't it?! The third grandmother is in her thirties, so shrewd and rich, but she doesn't have much heart, and she vomits with a concubine all day long. The old lady was not very happy, and the third master simply took the side room to the office. As a result, I got sick and went early, but who came cheaper! ”

"So the third grandmother's illness came out of anger?! That's really self-inflicted, which lord in the house is not a third wife and four concubines now? What's more, the old lady of the Jiang family is also from the transfer envoy, and the third master is currently in the general judgment, how can he not have a concubine? Then what is this little lord here for! It is said that the stepmother is not at home, who can make her angry? "A woman's gossip is a little careless in the dark night.

"Alas!" Mrs. Cai sighed deeply and said regretfully: "This little master's illness is strange! It is said that the third grandmother has been sick since she went, and she has contracted typhoid fever again in winter. It's pitiful for a motherless child! ”

There was another silence, and melodious snoring sounded one after another.

As soon as the lights in the corner gate went out, the brightly lit main house looked like an island in the sea in the dark night.

The shadows of two people on the corrugated screen window were in a hurry, and a young and delicate voice was crying: "I'm afraid the girl won't be able to get by!" Pothos, what can I do now? The little girl who spoke was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a double hairpin and silver hairpin, a lotus skirt and a willow color, and a pair of single phoenix eyes on her wheat-skinned face burst into tears at the moment, holding a skinny hand on the bed with both hands, and said anxiously.

There was no reply, and he turned his head to face an equally anxious face. Dressed in a plain light green long skirt and a green dress of the same color, the pothos frowned, and a pair of eyes as bright as autumn water had a hint of determination in pain at the moment. He groaned and said, "Xiaoxiang, why don't I decoct the medicine sent by Shopkeeper Ge a few days ago and give it to the girl?" ”

"No, no, no!" Xiao Xiangtou shook like a rattle, "Those are all tiger and wolf medicines, not to mention the poison, it's completely wrong, God knows where the shopkeeper got it!" Xiaoxiang believes that she knows poison very well, and she disapproves of it.

Shopkeeper Ge is the third lady's family, so naturally he will not harm her only daughter. But I'm afraid that a layman will rush to the doctor and run into a wandering doctor as a fairy.

"No! I'll have to urge them to go find Lang Zhong again! Xiao Xianghuo got up and said, put on his robe and walked out, throwing himself into a curtain of wind and snow.

"Even the Imperial Doctor has seen it. I think even the old lady is cold-hearted and plans to resign herself to fate. I heard that even the aftermath is prepared. Those people in the house can't be counted on, and it's useless for you to find anyone now. "The voice of the pothos is like a pearl of jade, but the words are cold. Xiaoxiang didn't believe it, she still rushed out unwillingly.

As soon as the pothos turned around and opened a medicine bag from the sandalwood table, the fire in the copper stove in the spacious and bright corner of the room was booming, baking the room as warm as spring. This master likes the fragrance of medicine, so they also moved into the master's room with their medicine. The green pothos skillfully soaked the medicine and boiled the medicine, and the ears heard Xiaoxiang scolding outside for a while, and sneered bitterly twice, and now I am afraid that no one can count on it.

Sure enough, when her medicine came to taste, Xiao Xiang came in angrily slamming the curtain, there were still some snowflakes on the robe she took off, and she didn't wipe the water stains on her eyebrows and eyes on her head, and said angrily: "You still expect them to run errands!" When the garden was opened, there was a small carriage waiting, and the two female insects slept so loudly that they wouldn't wake up when the thunder hit! Don't you want to wait for our girl to die! ”

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Luluo is more calm than the average big girl. Seeing that Xiao Xiang was anxious, he just pulled the corners of his mouth, and said comfortingly: "Mrs. Cai is also a better person in the house, she has lived here with us for more than ten days, and her face is not embarrassed, but it is even more late at night, the wind and snow are heavy, and there is no way to wake up!" ”

"What does it mean to be good-hearted? It's not her turn to give us a look! The girl has to have a good one, see if I don't tell my wife for picking her skin! Xiaoxiang stomped her feet and shouted in a low voice.

"Really?" Green Pothos sneered, "I think you're the only one who doesn't have the strength to see it!" Do you think that when my wife was alive, everyone in the house looked up to our three rooms for the sake of our wife's generous hands? Who else really cares about the girl's life or death now! As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes red again.

"Since the death of the lady, they have all bullied the girl to be young, led the silver on the shop where the lady was married, and secretly stepped on us. Seeing that the girl was sick, she excused herself from infectious diseases, and she avoided the plague one by one. It's only been a few months since she was sick, and she still has a breath, and she is all dead, and no one looks at her. I think I'm thinking about Mrs. Fen's dowry! ”

Xiao Xiang blinked, listened to the clouds, and exclaimed, "Not really, right?" Isn't there an old lady? Our girl is not the same, she is her own granddaughter. Didn't she send someone to ask from time to time some time ago? ”

"It's not convincing to say that you don't have eyesight! I really love her own granddaughter, so she won't move us out of the mansion and move again and again. You don't see the number of people waiting for them decreasing day by day, except for the two of us, even the four rough girls under our hands have been taken away. If the girl goes like this, I'm afraid the two of us will be divided and sold by them immediately! ”

Xiaoxiang listened to what the pothos said, and her heart was also a little sad. Lifting the silk gauze bed tent, he looked at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who was covered with brocade quilt on the bed, her face was like gold paper, and her black hair was scattered, and she said in a trembling voice: "Girl, you must not die like this!" Although you are a little cautious, and you still make a little temperament from time to time, as long as you can get better, Xiaoxiang will be a cow and a horse for you for the rest of your life, and you will never mention the redemption of your body again! ”

Pothos wanted to laugh, but tears flowed.

A strange medicinal fragrance wafted up in the room, and Xiaoxiang looked at the pothos suspiciously, and saw her nodding solemnly.

"Heh, how dare you ・・・・・・" Xiao Xiang's words were soft. Seeing that the pothos pried the girl's mouth, she poured it down without leaking a spoonful of spoonfuls, and did not stop it.
