In the first year of Yongzhao, the six princes of the first emperor ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, respected his biological mother Dou as the queen mother, and established the concubine Fu as the queen, amnesty the world, and the whole country celebrated.

In the right time of spring, the forest is verdant, and the grass grows and the warbler flies. The courtyard of the Jiangfu Mansion of the Household Squire is full of flowers, colorful butterflies, coupled with rockery and flowing water, and the corner pavilion of the corridor, it is really a rich place. There is a small courtyard in the corner of the mansion, there are no flowers and plants in the yard, only a dozen maple trees, although a row of three rooms is not dilapidated, but it can also be seen that there are some years, a scene of neglect, this is the daughter of Jiang Shilang, the sixth lady Jiang Suaoyue's residence.

Sixth Miss Jiang Suoyue's maid Pearl was guarding the door to do needlework, and occasionally looked inside, at this time Miss was talking to her biological mother, Aunt Ning. Nowadays, there are very few opportunities for the mother and daughter to meet in private, and if it weren't for Mrs. going out to offer incense today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find such an opportunity, but if it is delayed for a long time and let Mrs. know, I'm afraid that something will happen again. Pearl sighed, and now the days are not better or worse than they were at the beginning.

Originally, after the young lady was born, the lord almost didn't ask, just because there was no shortage of girls in this house, but the lord only had a son from the uncle, and he was eager to look forward to the child, and he had high hopes for Aunt Ning's birth, but who knew that it was a girl again. Aunt Ning was separated from her heart because of the master's indifference to the child, and she was always faint when she saw the master on weekdays, and gradually there was an estrangement over time, and the lady saw that the lord was not interested in Aunt Ning's mother and daughter, and did not mention the stubble of finding a nurse to serve and raise her grandmother, so she only threw the young lady to Aunt Ning to take care of her, and the young lady grew up to six years old in front of her biological mother.

However, a few years ago, the young lady had a dispute with the fifth lady who was born to her wife, and the fifth lady pushed the young lady into the lotus pond, and after scooping it up, she could not go away due to the cold and high fever, and she almost couldn't save it. Under this toss, the lord recalled that the mother and daughter who were struggling to survive in the cracks of the Jiang Mansion, Aunt Ning was taken pity by the lord again, and now she is pregnant, so she was hated by her wife, and she was separated from her biological mother on the grounds that the young lady was getting older, and the residence was far away from Aunt Ning.

Thinking of this, Pearl sighed again, although the original days were harder, but everyone was always in one place, and there was joy in the suffering, and now the young lady couldn't even call her biological mother "mother" in front of people, so she could only call it so in private, and her aunt didn't know how uncomfortable it was. But since the aunt entrusted the young lady to her care, she must cheer up and live up to the trust, and her eyes became more and more determined when she thought about it.

In the warm pavilion in the room, Aunt Ning looked at the simple furnishings in the house, and remembered the exquisite furnishings in the fifth lady's room, all kinds of rare and exotic toys on the multi-treasure grid, the rouge gouache and hairpin ring pendant on the dressing table, and the hairpin ring pendant did not know how many, and her heart couldn't help but be dark, in the end, she was even a child who was a concubine, and even the child followed the dwarf's family, although she was a good concubine from a good family, it was much better than a cheap concubine from a slave, but in the end it was not a difference between a concubine. But even if she didn't want to, what choice did she have?

Jiang Suoyue looked at Aunt Ning's gloomy expression, naturally knew what she was thinking, and hurriedly held her hand and said, "Mother, these are things outside the body, there is nothing more important than living well." Besides, life is much better now than before. ”

Compared with the original slave-like life, isn't it much better now, at least there is no need to lie in bed with a high fever without medical treatment, fortunately, Aunt Ning knows some medical skills and prescribes her own prescription, but those who went out to grab medicine delayed for a long time, but did they know that it was not the instruction of their mother-in-law Jiang Tian? If it weren't for this, how could the original Sixth Miss lose her life at such a young age, leaving her disheartened soul to live in this shell.

After recovering from the disease, the body is in urgent need of nutrition, and the kitchen only gives some leftovers of cold rice every day, if it weren't for Aunt Ning's mother who boiled her own eggs and brought them to her in her arms, where could this body be recuperated. After thinking of coming here, my heart warmed for Aunt Ning, Mother Zhang, Zhiqiu and Pearl, who loved more than treasures, and I felt a pride to repay them.

"My son, the most reluctant thing for my mother is to leave you. But for the sake of now, you can only endure it, you pretend to be well-behaved in front of your wife, and don't let her find your trouble. If your sisters verbally bully you, you must not be impulsive and look for an opportunity to do it again. If I am born a brother in my belly, our mother and daughter will have a better life, and when you grow up, I will have the face to ask for a good marriage for you in front of your father, so that Mrs. will not wronged you. ”

"Mother, I'm only seven years old, it's too early to say this. The most important thing right now is the little brother in your belly, so you must take care of yourself. Other than that...... I'm afraid that Madame will do some tricks to prevent you from giving birth safely, so you must be careful. ”

Aunt Ning looked at her daughter with some surprise, surprised and sad, her daughter was only seven years old, a seven-year-old child actually began to know the filth in this back house, such early wisdom undoubtedly comes from the sinister environment.

Aunt Ning's eyes were sour, but she also pressed herself, her heart was like this, it was much better to know early than to be plotted, although she hoped that her daughter would be kind-hearted and simple and carefree, but she also didn't want to raise her child to be weak and bullied. Now that she can't take care of her daughter, it's time to let her know the cruelty of survival, and said: "Don't worry, your grandfather was a doctor, and his mother has learned some crafts since he was a child, and he will take care of himself, and his mother is most at ease with you......" Aunt Ning wiped the corners of her eyes, "Mother knows that you have been smart since you were a child, and now your father has let you enter the clan school, you must know that the splendid is hidden, you don't have to fight for the scenery of the moment, and you can just be mediocre in your usual performance, so as not to be remembered by your wife." ”

Jiang Suoyue was originally worried that Aunt Ning was too honest, but now listening to her words, she is not a fool, and she knows that she has to be quiet and obscure in order to live a safe life, so she said: "Mother, you can rest assured, I can save it." ”

Thinking of entering the clan to learn to read and write, and grieving for the real Jiang Suoyue and Aunt Ning, her daughter was not loved by Jiang Zhaolin, and when she was six years old, she didn't even have a name, only called "six sons and six children", which sounded like the name of a slave. It wasn't until this time that the cheap father realized that his sixth daughter was almost seven years old, and a girl like himself who went out of a family, even if she was a concubine, if she didn't know some words, wouldn't she be laughing and generous, so he named her sixth daughter Jiang Suoyue, and let her enter the clan to learn literacy and etiquette. Jiang Tian was a little unhappy at first, but thinking that this daughter from this concubine could read and write, and her worth could be raised, and it would be convenient to choose a family business that would be beneficial to her children in the future, which would be of some use, so she agreed to arrange it again and again.

Aunt Ning also knew that she couldn't stay here for a long time, so she repeatedly explained some trivial matters in terms of food, clothing, and daily life, so she got up and prepared to go back, and when she walked to the door, she seemed to remember something, and turned around and whispered to Jiang Suoyue: "The two girls that Madame recently assigned to you are Madame's people, not more than pearls, I trained them, you should be careful, don't leave important things to them."

"Mother, I can save it, it's not because you want to come, I have spent them all."

Aunt Ning looked at her head with satisfaction, touched her daughter's pink cheeks, sighed, and turned around and went out.

The pearl at the door stood up and blessed the departing Aunt Ning, looking at her own lady standing at the door for a while, I didn't know what I was thinking, and when I was thinking about whether to make a sound, there was a burst of laughter outside, and a crisp voice said, "Sister, I will change my ...... with you in two days."

Two little girls who had not yet grown in size walked in, and they were the girls that Madame had given to the young lady, Peach and Pear.

Tao'er is still young, with a round face and white skin, a lively personality, and two silk flowers. The pear is slightly larger, with a goose egg face and willow eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that reveal a wit and steadiness that is not commensurate with her age, holding some paper and ink strips.

Both of them blessed Jiang Suoyue, and Li'er said, "Miss, the slave and maid have already received the things you wanted." ”

"Put it in, the steward didn't embarrass you, did he?"

Pear's face changed, as if she was a little embarrassed. Tao'er was straightforward and said: "Tian Fu's family is too bullying, even if it is not a valuable thing, Miss must also know that the expenses in the house are tight, and it is too expensive for her to explain to Mrs. ”

This Tian Fu family is Mrs. Jiang Tian's companion room, now the mother-in-law is in charge of the inner courtyard of the big warehouse, although the big warehouse is in and out of the household commonly used things, not very precious, but with the inner courtyard of any person's daily life is inseparable, this mother-in-law and rely on the support of the Jiang Tian family, then look at the dishes, do not put a few concubines in the house in the eyes, although it is not clear to contradict, but every time you take things to sneer, lack of catties and two.

Pearl was so angry when she heard it, although her miss was a concubine, but she was the master, this slave was so bullied, it was obvious that she was stepping on the lady to please Mrs. She blushed, looked at her young lady's face, and saw that Jiang Suoyue's face was pale and didn't seem to care, so she couldn't bear it and didn't speak.

"Well, it's not a big deal." Jiang Suoyue looked at the faces of the two girls as she spoke, Tao'er was still a little uneven, but Li'er lowered her head and couldn't tell anything.

Jiang Suoyue's eyes stopped on her face for a moment, knowing that if she was bullied but behaved calmly, she was afraid that this pear would turn around and tell Jiang Tian, so she pretended to cry and said: "This is also a helpless thing, who called me not Madame's daughter, I just went to make a scene, but I just called myself faceless, who would take it seriously." With that, he stomped his foot and turned and went inside.

Pearl hurriedly followed, and Peach looked at Li'er at a loss, and when she saw her looking at the room thoughtfully, she was worried and asked, "Sister, did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Li'er sighed, rubbed her head, and said, "Let's go, don't disturb Miss's rest." ”

Pearl came in and saw her young lady lying on the bed, her face was calm, there was no anger or grievance at all, and she smiled and whispered: "The slave knows that the young lady is coaxing them." ”

Jiang Suoyue also smiled and said, "If you have to be angry about this little thing, I'm afraid that you will be angry all day long." Wouldn't it be better for them to think that I was a timid and breathless young lady? ”

"That's what Miss said."

"Go ahead, and call me when Madame returns."

Pearl nodded, covered Jiang Suoyue with a quilt, covered the door and went out.
