Volume 1, Chapter 5: Vengeance
Yue Yao looked at the person in the mirror quietly, her face was pale, her eyes were blank, she looked very thin, and she had a miserable and helpless look.
Yueyao thought about Hua Bud going home, and she might have heard a lot about things outside. The biggest disadvantage of being in the inner courtyard is that there is no way to do foreign affairs. Twilight still knows a little about the things in the inner courtyard, but she knows almost nothing about the things outside. Hua Bud is the son of a family, and there are many relatives who work on errands in the mansion. She is much better informed about the outside world.
Yue Yao put down the pearl hairpin in her hand and asked, "I have been copying scriptures for the past few months. Nothing else matters. Tell me, what's going on out there? "It's impossible not to pay attention to what's going on outside.
Hua Bud was a little surprised, how did the girl ask about these trivial things today. In the past, the girl was the most impatient to listen to this. I had doubts in my heart, but I still said what I knew: "Girl, there is nothing else to do in the outer courtyard." It's just that the eldest lady has released most of the people we brought back from Jiangnan. Girl, the people who let it out are all people who were added by the old lady in Jiangnan. "The reason for the eldest lady is also ready-made, the mansion does not need so many people now, and it is also considered a virtue to be released.
Yueyao pondered for a moment and said, "When is it?"
Hua Bud was overjoyed, but she didn't expect the girl to really care: "It happened three months ago." Girl, those who stay are all born of the family. The girl ...... a little hesitant at this point.
Yue Yao raised her head, and her voice was very soft: "If you have something to say, you don't need to read it. Novel ybdu spit. ”
After winning Yueyao's approval, Hua Bud said: "Girl, the people who were added to Jiangnan are just the ones who let them out." But the lady's dowry must not be let out at will by the eldest lady. The slave and maid were worried that these people had been sent away by the eldest lady, and that there would be no one to use the girl in the future. "The so-called no one is available, not that there is no one around to serve you, but that there is no one to trust. The people who marry with their own wives not only take advantage of it, but also rest assured.
Yue Yao was stunned. I didn't think about it before, but now the flower bud reminds me like this, and then compares it with what happened later. But it's just as Bud thought, she has no one to use in the end. The people her mother chose for her were very loyal to her, but then she died, sold, married, and left for various reasons. In the end, there are only two people left, one is Twilight, Twilight has no roots and solid eyes in the Lianfu, and is easy to be coaxed; The other one is the ancient mother who eats inside and out.
When Yue Yao thought of this, she was secretly frightened, Mo Clan's real good intentions. step by step, he attacked her so early, and she thought it was her grandmother who calculated it later: "Where are all the people my mother married now?" ”
Bud smiled. She listened to her parents all this. Her mother said that she was afraid that the eldest lady wanted to set up the girl, so that the girl would have no one to use at that time, so that she could persuade the girl to have more eyes. Unfortunately, she persuaded her many times, but the girl could not hear it. What worries her is that the girl is not only defenseless, but most importantly, the girl does not pay attention to these trivial matters. Now the girl is willing to ask, saying that she has begun to pay attention to the things outside, which is a good sign, indicating that the girl has opened her mind: "Girl, the people who came to marry the lady have been put on the Zhuangzi." Girl, the dowry of the lady is in the hands of the old lady, and the deeds of these people are also in the hands of the old lady. "The deed is also a trouble in the hands of the old lady. But the old lady loves the girl, so she is not worried.
Hua Bud is reminding her that the dowry, as well as the deeds of the people below, are not in her hands. What you don't hold in your hand is not safe. Yue Yao touched the hand of the silver bracelet for a moment, and then said with a pale face: "I know." ”
Flower bud. I don't know if I understood the meaning of her words. Ahem, it's not that her girl is stupid and can't understand what she means. On the contrary, her girl is very intelligent. It's just that the intelligence is used in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, and I don't take these things to heart at all. In the past, the old lady was here, so naturally there was nothing to do, and these things could be learned slowly. But now, if the girl continues like this, she will suffer a great loss in the future.
Yueyao asks Twilight to fetch her money box. He took out a silver ingot of ten taels from it: "Take this and let your mother make up for it." ”
Hua Bud knelt down: "It is already a great grace for the girl to let the slave go back to take care of her mother. How can you still ask for a girl's reward? Girl, now that the old lady is gone, I will have to save some money in the future. The girl has money in hand, so she doesn't have to look at people's faces to live in the mansion in the future. "The buds come out from the bottom, and I know that it takes a lot of money to make connections. The eldest lord and the eldest lady are unreliable, only if they have money in hand, they can only be relied on. It's easy to get things done with money.
When Yue Yao heard this, she knew that Hua Bud had good intentions, but she wouldn't do it. Save some flowers, save them for Mo and her children. She's not bad for money. The money left by her parents to her, at the rate at which she spends money, will not be spent in her life: "Let you take it, where are there so many words." Let your mother raise for a few more days, take care of your body well, your mother will be well, and you will be able to serve me with peace of mind. ”
Hua Bud knew Yueyao's temperament, and said twice that if she didn't accept this kindness, the girl would be annoyed. He took the silver and thanked him for his grace.
Hua Bud was very happy in her heart at this time, she was not happy for the silver, but because of the girl's change. The girl is extremely intelligent, but she didn't take precautions before, as long as the girl is on guard against people, she is not afraid of those who have other thoughts with the wisdom of the girl.
Yue Yao looked at Hua Bud's demeanor, and her heart sank slightly. In fact, even if she lives a lifetime, she is not sure enough to deal with a ruthless person like Mo who has no lower limit. Fortunately, though, she is now on guard. As long as he is well prepared, I believe that Mo will no longer be able to manipulate his life like in his previous life.
Yueyao packed up and went to the upper room to visit the old lady. Twilight and Bud both persuaded Yueyao to let her have a good rest, and the old lady had already sent a message to ask her to come over on the fifteenth day of the new year to say goodbye. In the past, even Yueyao did go to the fifteenth day of the new year to ask for peace, and the rest of the time was copying scriptures. But this time, no matter what, everyone couldn't persuade Yueyao.
Yueyao insisted on going to the room to say goodbye now, firstly, other people such as Yueying went every day, and she didn't want to be special now; Second, she also took the opportunity to reappear in front of everyone, so that everyone could watch her changes.
This heavy rain last night has filled the eaves and roads with water. The middle stone green road is higher than the side, so there is no water. However, it was still drizzling outside.
Gu's mother held a green cloth umbrella in her hand, ready to help Yueyao. Yueyao said lightly: "Mom is also old, and the road is slippery on this rainy day, so let the flower buds support it." Mom just took a break in the yard. "After yesterday's discomfort, Yueyao's mentality has stabilized a lot now. To deal with this person, take your time, don't be in a hurry.
I didn't listen to my mother's words in my last life, and I suffered a big loss, and my mother's words in this life must be remembered firmly. What her mother taught her was practical.
Gu's mother didn't dare to say more. The girl is her grandmother, and her temperament is very well understood. If she said anything more now, it would only make the girl more bored with her. Although Gu's mother was full of unwillingness, she still followed the girl's good after not finding the reason. Gu's mother handed the green cloth umbrella in her hand to Hua Bud: "Take good care of the girl, don't let the girl get drenched." ”
Hua Bud took the umbrella, muttering in her heart What is wrong with the girl, on weekdays, the girl does not say anything to the nurse, but everything goes well. How could I refute the nurse's face today. But she couldn't possibly ask. He held up the umbrella with both hands and tilted it on Yueyao's side.
Yue Yao walked on the Shiqing Yong Road, stretched out her hand to the umbrella, and let the rain hit her hand, cold and cold, this coldness gave her a sense of reality.
Yue Yao walked very slowly, remembering the past as she went. After her grandmother passed away, Mo thought that the Lanxi Garden where she lived was too far away from the upper house. Let her move out and live next to Lian Yuebing. That way she won't be alone. She didn't agree at first, thinking that it was her father's yard, and she was reluctant to leave.
Mo didn't bother himself about this, and he was doubly loving to himself, eating and wearing, and what he gave her was always the best anyway. It's better than the children of the in-laws.
At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I only knew joy and gratitude. He even loved Mo's as if he were his own mother. Even Twilight often whispered good things about Mohs in her ear. Because of this, he finally obeyed Mo's words and moved out of Lanxi Courtyard to live with Lian Yuebing.
Looking back now, I was so young and ignorant. If a person is going to outdo his own child for another child, there are only two scenarios. One is the kind that repays the kindness, that is the real gentleman; One is mapped. And Mohs is the second type. It's just that she was young and lost her parents, so she was caught in it. Once a person admits death, he will not turn back without hitting his head and bleeding.
In fact, the Shen family quit their relatives, and the Mo family coaxed all the money away, and she didn't hate it. The Shen family dislikes her as an orphan girl, and it is understandable that she can't help Shen Conghao to withdraw from her family. Mo wanted to steal the money in her hands, and she didn't hate it. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and such a large amount of money is really eye-catching. But Mo shouldn't have sold her. Even if it is a low marriage, she will not hate it so much. But Mohs was able to sell her for money. not only sold to merchants, but also sold her to others as concubines. Think of her as a thing (a concubine is the same thing).
After she knew the truth, she also struggled whether to take revenge. If she takes revenge, once this matter is exposed, the family will be completely finished.
When he arrived in the capital, he heard that his eldest uncle, Lian Dongfang, was already a member of the third grade. The two cousins have a bright future, and Lian Yuebing married into the Luyang Hou Mansion as Mrs. Hou, enjoying glory and wealth. Even the concubines were married to wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River.
Their family is so happy, they are high-ranking officials, and they enjoy glory and wealth, and these are all stepping on her family. Not only that, but it also tortured her. She is unwilling, she is unwilling, and she is not willing to die.
If they could do such a vicious thing, why did she hesitate. At the time, she no longer thought about the consequences of doing so. She must seek justice for herself.
Yue Yao smiled bitterly, she was giving herself justice. But now that she thinks about it, she doesn't know if it's right or wrong. To her, it is justice and revenge. But to the Lian family, she is a sinner, an unforgivable sinner.
The scholarly family sold the niece of the in-law to the merchant as a concubine. Once this incident is confirmed, the reputation of the Lian family will be ruined, and there will be no place for the Lian family in the capital.
A hundred years of scholarly family, years of hard work and struggle of the family, how many generations of accumulated reputation are buried in her hands. It's also fortunate that she didn't die, if she really went underground, how would she face the ancestors of Lian Jiaji.
Hua Bud and a few maids around her saw that Lian Yueyao fell into silence again, and there was sadness all over her body.
Hua Bud hurriedly asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yue Yao was shocked, and after coming back to her senses, she shook her head and said, "It's okay." Let's go. ”
Seeing Yueyao's appearance, Hua Bud was very worried. What's wrong with the girl, why are you in a daze all the time! I've been in a daze since the morning. And not only in a daze, but also with a sadness in the girl's whole person. It was fine just now!
Ahem, the girl is thinking of the old lady again.
Lian Yueyao walked slowly. From Lanxi Courtyard to the upper room, it takes two quarters of an hour to walk. For others, this journey is only half an hour away. But for Yueyao, it seems that she has finished her previous life.
