In the winter of the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day of the sacrificial stove. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The ancient mansion of Yangcheng County has been busy up and down, and the maids and women in the courtyard have people holding candlesticks and incense, there are fruit plates and flowers, and there are those who hang lanterns and colored silks, all of them are in a hurry, shuttling back and forth in various courtyards.
"Come on, help. The eldest lady has fallen into the water, come on! ”
On the edge of Ximing Lake in the west courtyard of the ancient mansion, there was a sudden scream.
Someone stopped, glanced at the moon gate of the west courtyard, hesitated a little, and then shook his head again, and left in a hurry with a helpless face.
An old woman in rough clothes stood by the lake, looking at the sinking figure falling into the lake, and anxiously shouted for help.
Just let her shout out her throat, but there was not a single figure in the garden, not even the maids and servants who cleaned the yard on weekdays.
A trace of anger flashed in the old woman's eyes, and then she saw that the figure in the lake had sunk without a trace, and she couldn't wait any longer, knowing that she didn't know how to be watery, she also gritted her teeth, and planned to jump into the water to save her own young lady.
Just as she lifted her foot, there was a sudden thud around her, and someone jumped before her.
A splash of water splashed on her face, making her shiver and immediately retracting her feet.
Seeing that the person who jumped down just now was swimming towards the eldest lady, the old woman's heart was relieved, but she thought that the young lady had been in this cold lake for a long time, and she was afraid that her body would not be able to stand it and something was going to happen, so she became more and more anxious, and put her hands together, begging her grandfather to pray to her grandmother that the gods would bless her eldest lady to be safe and sound.
Suddenly, he saw the two of them peeking out of the lake and slowly swimming towards the shore.
The eldest lady was rescued, the old woman suddenly put her mind at ease, hurriedly greeted her, and hugged her from the man's arms, and quietly looked at the person who saved the person, and after seeing the appearance of the rescue, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was a maid.
Gently put Gu Jiaoxiang on the ground, the lilac cardigan skirt she wore on her body was soaked, soaked in jet black mud, her palm-sized little face was pale and bloodless, her eyes were closed at this time, and there was no movement. If it weren't for the heaving of her chest, I'm afraid I would have thought she was lifeless.
When the old woman saw her like this, her eyes were full of tears, and she shook her shoulders very worriedly to wake her up: "Miss, Miss, wake up, Miss!" ”
"Go away!" The maid in the water came up, frowned and glanced at it, stepped forward and waved the old woman's hands away from Gu Jiaoxiang's face, then knelt aside, and reached out to press her chest.
"I've heard people shouting over here, what's going on?" At this moment, a scolding suddenly came from his ears.
The old woman looked up and glanced at the person who came, it was the eldest lady of the ancient mansion, Zhang, who rushed over with a large group of people.
The anger in her eyes flashed, when Miss Fang Cai fell into the water, let her cry out for help, no one wanted to save her, and then Miss was rescued, this group of people, just by chance, appeared here immediately, the old woman felt that although she was old, she was not stupid enough to distinguish between right and wrong.
If I hadn't helped Miss find the lost purse just now, and she wouldn't have fallen into the water less than a moment after she left, if she hadn't come back in time, I'm afraid Miss would have ...... by now
"The slave should be damned, he didn't take care of the eldest lady, and the young lady fell into the water, begging the eldest lady to punish him!"
Although she was dissatisfied, she still couldn't forget her duty as a slave, and the old woman was originally kneeling, and when she saw her mother coming with someone, she immediately turned around and pleaded guilty.
Damn it indeed.
Mrs. Gu Zhang glanced down at the old woman, and finally her eyes fell on Gu Jiaoxiang's face, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes: "How is the eldest lady now?" ”
"Madam, the young lady just fell into the water, and now she has not come to her senses, if she is not treated in time, I am afraid that she will ......" So hurry up and ask the eldest lady for a doctor. The old woman slandered in her heart, but she couldn't say it openly.
"What are you doing? Don't go to the doctor yet! Zhang frowned, how could he not understand what the old woman had to say, turned his head and angrily scolded the mother-in-law behind him, and at the same time glanced at the mother-in-law without a trace.
Seeing that the woman nodded at her and hurriedly left, Zhang moved his gaze to the old woman kneeling in front of her again, and a thick hatred flashed in his eyes.
If it weren't for this dead old woman's bowl of medicine, she wouldn't have lost her five-month-old body, which was her already formed son!
I couldn't find a reason to deal with her before, but now I sent it to the door myself and gave her a chance.
Zhang sneered, stared at her and said, "Mother Qian, in front of the master, Aunt Liu would rather sacrifice her life to hit the wall than leave you by the eldest lady's side, Mrs. Ben expected you to serve you well, but I didn't expect you to take care of you like this." Since you are willing to accept the punishment, Mrs. Ben will follow your wishes today, so that the slaves will not be able to follow the example and neglect their masters. ”
While talking, he raised his finger and sent the person behind him: "Come on, Mother Qian is derelict in her duties and ineffective in protecting the master, and she will be dragged down and punished with a cane for twenty!" ”
When everyone present heard her words, their hearts trembled and they were extremely surprised.
You know, the rod is twenty, even a young and strong slave can go to half a life, let alone an old woman who is over half a hundred years old, what is the difference between that and directly asking for a life?
"Mrs. Xie!" Mother Qian knelt on the ground and kowtowed, she was a slave, and it was her responsibility to not take care of Miss, she also knew that sooner or later, the Zhang family would find an opportunity to retaliate, so she was unwilling to punish her, but she could only accept it, but she was a little sad in her heart, if she died, what should Miss do?
Since the accident, Mrs. Door. Heart. Think. stayed in the Buddha hall and didn't want to come out again, even the eldest lady, she didn't care.
Mother Qian turned her head to look at Gu Jiaoxiang, her eyes full of worry. I just thought that if her death could be exchanged for Mrs. Changing her mind and spending more of her mind on Miss, it would be worth it.
As if she hadn't seen anyone else, the maid next to Gu Jiaoxiang continued to kneel in front of her, constantly pressing her chest until Gu Jiaoxiang vomited all the water in her stomach and coughed.
"Ahem......"
"Miss, Miss, you're finally awake." When Mother Qian heard the cough, she immediately knelt down in front of Gu Jiaoxiang and was overjoyed.
"Mother Qian?" Gu Jiaoxiang looked at the familiar face in front of her, and was a little stunned for a while, she didn't expect that after her death, the first person she saw was Mother Qian, who had been dead for more than ten years.
Mother Qian was originally her mother's nurse, but since her brother was lost when she was five years old, and she and her brother's nurse were killed with a rod due to the failure of the guardian, Mother Qian took care of her.
Now seeing this only person in the world who is good to herself except for her mother, Gu Jiaoxiang couldn't help herself for a while, and she burst into tears.
"Miss don't cry, it's okay, it's okay." Mother Qian thought that Gu Jiaoxiang was frightened, and raised her hand to wipe her tears to comfort her.
Gu Jiaoxiang's nose is sour, but Mother Qian is still as gentle as ever.
Ahh
She sneezed, suddenly felt a chill in her heart, looked down and realized that she was soaking wet, and the short jacket on her body, only her mother had sewn such a set of clothes for her by herself, or she secretly gave it to her behind her back, if it weren't for the eldest lady's harsh and lazy back, and she hadn't sent a warm dress in the cold winter, I'm afraid she wouldn't dare to wear it so blatantly.
I didn't expect to be able to wear the clothes sewn by my mother again when I was dying, and it was worth it to die this time. And what surprised her even more was that now her belly was mediocre, and she didn't look pregnant at all.
smiled helplessly, thinking that she was poisoned before the incident, and she was kicked by that person's full skill, presumably the child had already left her.
"Miss!" Mother Qian looked at her in a daze, thinking that she was frightened, and called out worriedly.
"Mother Qian, it's so good to see you!" Gu Jiaoxiang raised her head and smiled leisurely.
Mother Qian was stunned, looked at Gu Jiaoxiang in surprise, and always felt that her words were a little weird, but when she saw her smile, she also smiled and said something that made Gu Jiaoxiang feel strange: "The old slave can't serve Miss in the future, and Miss will be good alone in the future." ”
Gu Jiaoxiang didn't understand the meaning of Mother Qian's words, thinking that when she arrived at the Netherworld, Mother Qian was still worried about serving herself, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, Mother Qian, Jiaoxiang will take care of you in the future." ”
"What a master and servant!" Zhang looked at the master and servant, clapped his hands with a smile and mocked, then gritted his teeth fiercely, and said angrily at the slave behind him: "What? Didn't you hear what I said? Come on, execute! ”
