1. Incident
The cold winter air was covered with thick fog, and after five bangs, the courtyard gradually sounded, and after a while, only heard a "squeak" sound, leaning against the outer wall towards the door of a room in the south corner, and out of it came a girl with a double bun, who was thin, looking at the โกโก-year-old scene, wearing an earthy yellow shirt lined with the girl, adding a little wood and honesty.
Agarwood held the copper basin, carefully crossed the threshold, walked to the well in the yard step by step, poured the dirty water used in the basin into a flooded pond on the left side of the well, and then returned to the well, picked up the wooden barrel on the ground, leaned over and threw it into the well, rolled up his sleeves and held the handle of the wheel, circled around, lifted the wooden bucket full of water, brushed the copper basin, turned around and carried a wooden bucket out of the house, poured most of the bucket, and then carried the wooden bucket in one hand and the copper basin in the other, and walked to the house.
In the kitchen, Chen was holding a long spoon, stirring the soup pot, raising his eyes to look at the agarwood carrying the bucket, immediately put down the objects in his hand, walked forward quickly, snatched the bucket over, and complained in his mouth:
"You girl, I told you a long time ago that you don't have to touch the work of carrying water and firewood, this is not what you should do. Look, it's easy to raise four taels of meat, and you'll have no work to do. Remember in the future, our family doesn't need you to do heavy work, there is your brother! You just have to embroider a flower or something, and take care of your body first. โ
Saying that, Chen looked at the agarwood with his head down, sighed with hatred that iron is not steel, and his fingers were raised heavily but lightly touched on the forehead of the agarwood, and the words of reprimand were full of pity,
"I said that you don't have to get up so early, and you don't need to do anything, you just take care of it, tell your brother what you want to play, let him go outside to buy it for you, and tell him what you want to eat, you just rest, remember?"
Agarwood raised her face and looked at Chen, who had a fair face and a delicate appearance, and nodded stunnedly, "I remember, mother." โ
After saying that, he immediately lowered his head, bypassed Chen silently, walked to the stove, squatted down, picked up the dry firewood that was piled up like a hill on the side, threw one from the stove, and then stared at the fire seriously, and saw that the fire was not right, so he threw another one in. He was very busy with his own work, and completely left Chen's instructions just now.
Chen just turned around and looked, looked at the girl who was becoming more and more silent, sighed heavily, and sighed again. The expression on her face changed and changed, and she became more and more annoyed with Li Guihua, who scared her daughter into a serious illness.
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl threw a snake into the โกโก-year-old girl's bed, and she did this - she was really a poisonous woman with a black heart.
It's strange that the Duchess of Daoguo can't look down on her, so a girl with a bad character should bring the son of the world to ruin. In the end, the Duchess of Guo had bright eyes and a bright heart, and she was wise and martial, and she ordered her family's Shen ...... Well, it's time to call the waiter, and she ordered her eldest daughter to be a big girl in the house for the prince, which is the blessing of their family.
This blessing is not innate, Li Guihua doesn't have such a blessing-
Thinking of this, the Chen family gritted his teeth and looked hateful, who was chosen and who was not chosen was set by the Duchess of Guo, and it was not their family that blocked her path to wealth and nobility. But this black-hearted girl, because of jealousy and hatred of the servant, was sent, and she didn't have the courage to embarrass the spicy waiter, she actually picked up the soft persimmon pinch, caught the snake and quietly threw it into the bed, but the little girl was scared out of guts, almost turned her back on her back, and almost died.
In the end, although Agarwood saved a small life, the child seemed to be a little stupid again, and he was stunned for everything...... But the culprit who harmed people only came down and waited for the sprinkler to sweep the girl, Chen looked at the agarwood squatting on the ground with the back of her head with pity, and she was depressed in her heart, and she was about to explode with the injustice in her heart.
It's not that she is the right-hand woman of the Duchess of the Kingdom, but her daughter's life is not taken seriously, but she remembers it clearly, and sooner or later she will mention her daughter.
Hateful hammer on the chest, Chen took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, feeling less depressed, his body moved slightly, and he planned to step forward and pull up his daughter, telling her to rest, don't get tired anymore.
But as soon as he took two steps, his arm was pulled vigorously, and Chen couldn't react, and he was already pulled outside the door. Chen Shi turned his head and glared, and saw the person who was holding him, his face relaxed, and then he glared fiercely again, pulled back his arm with all his might, crossed his waist, pointed to the person opposite and asked:
"What are you pulling me for? Can't talk well? โ
The burly man rubbed his hands together and laughed, and his voice was low, "Yes, yes, I just want to tell you, if she wants to do some work, you can let her do it!" I was stuffy in the house all day, and I had to get sick even if I wasn't sick. โ
Saying that, Qin Zhong poked his head and glanced into the room, only to see a pair of small red ropes pressed on the black crow's hair, the small head was dangling, and the sturdy man looked sweet in his heart, thinking of the sin suffered by his daughter a few days ago, the sweetness was a little sour, and he couldn't help but sigh in his mouth.
Chen Shi snorted coldly, raised his hand and pinched Qin Zhong's waist fiercely, and said:
"Now I know that I feel sorry for my daughter, why did you go before, Agarwood was frightened by the vicious girl of the Li family and had a high fever, burning for a day and a night, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to blink, for fear of a mistake. Fortunately, this girl has a big life and survived, but now you see, you look at ......"
Chen nodded heavily in the room, his chest rose and fell violently in anger, but he still remembered to lower his voice and said:
"Agarwood is a man of few words, and she used to laugh a few times, but now, she is like a wooden doll, if she doesn't ask her, she can be bored all day without saying a word. She has such a temperament, we don't have anything, she is raised by her daughter, but, but she is like this, if she reaches the age and enters the inner house of the Guogong Mansion, she will definitely be gnawed to the point that there are no bones left. โ
Qin Zhong's face was gloomy, thinking of the Li family, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of anger in his tone,
"Don't worry, I remember it all, I remember all the sins suffered by our daughter. You wait, sooner or later, one day, we will avenge our daughter. โ
The Li family's stumbling joy, isn't it just relying on the face of the Li family's mother-in-law in front of the Duchess of the Kingdom? The Duchess of Keguo has been ill for five or six years...... How long can you say something disrespectful?
Moreover, he is the chief steward of the outer courtyard, and he directly obeys the orders of the grandfather of the country, no matter how much the Li family jumps, he should not pretend to be a master in his Qin Zhong's house, this hatred of the daughter is settled......
He only looks to the future.
Thoughts flew in his heart, and after saying that, Qin Zhong turned his head to look at the room and sighed, then raised his eyes to look at Chen, and said thoughtfully:
"Let's take a note of the Li family's affairs for the time being, this is not in a hurry. It's a book's errand, I thought...... It's better to push it. โ
When Chen heard this, he immediately opened his mouth in surprise, and his eyes suddenly widened, wanting to say something.
Qin Zhong raised his hand, stopped Chen's words, and hurriedly said to himself:
โโฆโฆ I know, I know, you think this is a good thing, our family servant - the sinking girl will be rich and prosperous in the future. However, this thing is not as good as you imagined, you are also a person who often walks around in the inner house, and you have seen a lot, there are wives and concubines in this backyard, and there is a harmonious headless, you think about it, the deceased son is there, it looks good now, but if the son marries a wife in the future, at that time, we will sink into the water...... Can it still end well? Think about it! โ
Chen's frowning brows were raised one by one, and the more he listened, the more bad his expression became. There was no trace of the previous joy on his face,
Qin Zhong saw that Chen was listening, and hurriedly added fire:
"This thing in the backyard, alas--when the time comes, my aunt or something will sound good, but in fact she is still a slave, and if she is not favored, she can't even compare with a decent subordinate. Let's sink into the water and have a firecracker-like temperament, is she a person who can be angry? Although our daughters are not as good as the girls in the house, but we are also our husband and wife who grew up in the palm of their hands, even if they go to the backyard as an errand, with the face of me and our eldest son, they are also doing decent work, except for those who are not long-eyed, no one dares to deliberately look for thorns. Alas...... You said, our flower-like daughter, when I think of my daughter being tormented by the wife above in the future, my heart is uncomfortable. That, that's the master, the girl has been wronged, and we don't dare, we can't do anything. You say, "Ohโhow distressed it is! โ
Qin Zhong sighed one after another "sigh", and Chen's brows, who only sighed, became tighter and tighter, and finally he almost tied the knot, and his heart was twisted into a ball, and he couldn't say it uncomfortably.
Neither of them is a person who gives up his daughter's wealth and wealth, Chen's thinking is even simpler, just thinking that his daughter will have a good life in the future, calling slaves and maids, isn't the life like the master a good day! But when I heard the man say this, hey, isn't it, this aunt is not the right way after all. Her good daughter, if she is bullied by a woman from nowhere in the future, it will hurt more than digging out her heart and liver!
Well! No, absolutely not! The girl she raised was not a bad person. Being an aunt - isn't that just a bad abuse for people?
This is absolutely not a no-go!
Chen shook his head desperately, pulled Qin Zhong's arm, shook it vigorously, and said vigorously:
"No, no, let's sink into the water and don't go to be some bullshit girls, don't go, don't go. Whoever likes to go will go, anyway, we can't go to Shenshui, the master, you hurry up and think about it, push this errand, ah-let's not fight for that fatal wealth, let's go back and pick an honest one for Shenshui, who can live a good life, it's better to be a wife than to be small. Hey-by the way, our eldest follows Grandpa Guo all day long, he must know which one of those guards is good, let's talk about Shenshui's family affairs, and don't go to the backyard to fight with a group of women, I can't bear it. I was confused before, and you have to think quickly, otherwise we will be ruined for the rest of our lives. โ
