A little girl knocked lightly on the door and called outside: "Lady Sheng, Zheng Gongzi is here again, and he is waiting for you in the side hall." ”

Sheng Niang said: "I'm not feeling well these days, you tell him to please come another day." ”

The girl answered and left.

Sheng Niang propped her chin and stared at the mirror for a moment.

Opposite her is a Youzhou bronze mirror, polished to a matte finish, and the soft yellow mirror reflects a face like a flower and jade, the color is like a spring flower and a moon, compared with ordinary beautiful women, more elegant and refined.

She looked at it and felt like she was going to get drunk.

The so-called red-faced life is nothing more than that.

She sighed faintly, sat down in front of the guqin on the side, plucked the strings a few times, and the sound of the piano was like crying, the more she played, the more it caused her to feel sad.

Flowers and moons, talents are superb, but so what. She has a thousand benefits, but they can't match her origin.

Everyone says that a woman's marriage is another reincarnation, but her first reincarnation is so bad that she doesn't even have a chance to do it again.

She didn't know that Xu Fu rejected her. Before the matter was settled, he was already hated by the wife who was in charge, and even the sister with her lover, how bad it was.

However, there is no better choice.

She is not young, and it is not easy to meet a talented, promising, and reliable Lang Jun, the most difficult thing for this Lang Jun is that he is still so affectionate and righteous, and he is in agreement with himself.

Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of her, she has to wade through it.

Thinking of Xu Jinze hugging her and whispering promises last night, the sorrow in Sheng Niang's heart eased slightly.

It seems that the matter of the clan robbery that Man'er deliberately talked about in front of him last time still has some effect, and the matter of redemption has a lot of dreams at night, and she is really not at ease if it is not settled earlier.

I don't know how long Mrs. Feng will have to hold out before she backs down.

Although she has said many times in front of Xu Jinze that she has saved some gold and silver, if the Xu family refuses to agree, she can raise him as a scholar to become an official, but this is by no means her true thoughts.

A scholar without the help of the family, compared with a scholar with the help of the family, how can the achievements in officialdom be the same!

She is not the daughter who has a backer to support, nor is she one of those uninformed civilian women, she has seen too much bitterness in the wind and dust for so many years.

Those who marry merchants and commoners, because they can't adapt to the gap from 10,000 people to washing their hands and soup, are often pointed at by the people around them, most of them are either haggard and down, or ruthless, and when they meet bad people, they even have to give out the dowry to get rid of.

Those who were included in the family of the official clan were lucky, and they had a son and a half daughter, even if they were old and decrepit, they could have a thought. If you are unlucky, you will meet such a jealous woman, and when you are over forty years old, you will be sold out and fall into private prostitution to resume your old business.

In the past, Liu Sanniang's prestige skills were ransomed, and there was no news afterwards, and this year I actually heard that I was out of the mountain again, and I don't know how much I suffered.

Sheng Niang pulled a piece of silk cloth and covered the guqin.

Since the day she entered this workshop, she had secretly made up her mind that she would rather be an official maid than a poor wife.

Fortunately, as her appearance gradually opened, her piano skills deepened, and her reputation slowly opened, she began to have the opportunity to contact real dignitaries and nobles, and the clan was powerful.

Xu Jinze is the most perfect object she has met in years.

He is not deeply involved in the world, his appearance and character are impeccable, and what makes her heart break is that many officials have praised Xu Jinze's talent, and they all say that his name must be in the top three of the next subject. She took his article and read it, and it was excellent.

Even better, he also has a crush on himself.

She had already inquired clearly, Xu Feng and the two families had spent countless efforts on Xu Jinze, and it was absolutely impossible to give up this future grandfather seed, no matter what, as long as she had to keep her teeth tight, she could get what she wanted.

She was thinking about how to find a way to let the wind out, so that Mrs. Feng had to promise to redeem herself as soon as possible, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

"Shengniang......" the little girl from earlier shouted outside.

Before she could reply, the door was pushed open.

A young man stood in the doorway, he looked talented, but also had an uninhibited temperament.

Sheng Niang hurriedly stood up and called out a little disdainfully: "Zheng Gongzi......" She raised her voice and shouted, "Barbarian." ”

The girl at the door hurriedly said: "The barbarian has something to go out, what does the lady command?" ”

The man didn't wait for her to speak, and then said, "I heard that the girl said that you are not feeling well, so come and see you." As he spoke, he strode this way.

Sheng Niang was so frightened that she took a few steps back and distanced herself from him.

The other party stood still and said with a smile: "What are you panicking about, I won't eat you again." As he spoke, he reached out to try her forehead.

"Don't come here!" Sheng Niang shouted.

As she was screaming, her heart suddenly moved.

Still worried that there is no way, isn't the solution coming at this moment?

With a "poof", she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, aimed the tip of the knife at her neck, and threatened: "Come here again, I can do anything." ”

Zheng Gongzi frowned, and subconsciously took another step forward.

Sheng Niang's hands play the piano and make tea on weekdays, at most they also grind ink and write poems for the nobles, where to hold the dagger, she has already sweated in the palm of her hand, she is about to say some righteous and awe-inspiring words, but she never thought that because of slippery sweat, the dagger in her hand was crooked, and she really pressed the sharp tip into her neck.

The dagger was extremely sharp, and at the slightest touch, a trace of blood slid down her neck.

Her action not only frightened the man opposite, but also frightened the little girl. The little girl ran out with a cry of "ahhhh Mother Wu!! Sheng Niangzi is going to self-harm! ”

"I'm not going over, you put the dagger down!" That Zheng Gongzi said in a deep voice, and made a retreat as he spoke.

Sheng Niang's original intention was just to attract everyone's attention, and she never thought of hurting herself. It's not easy to take care of her snow muscles, and she really has to leave a scar, how can she be born! At this time, when she saw the blood, she was more flustered than anyone else, and with a clang, without the need for others to persuade her, the dagger fell to the ground, and she hurriedly raised a close-fitting handkerchief to cover the blood beads.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps from far and near, and Mother Wu rushed in with a few servants and handymen from the teaching department, and when she saw this scene in the house, she didn't say anything else, and shouted to a handyman: "Don't go and ask for a medical officer!" ”

He cried out again, "Barbarian! Why don't you come and serve your lady! ”

On the street where people came and went in the alley outside Hefu, the barbarian sat in the tea shed on the side, waiting intently for Zhou Qin's carriage.
