On the first day of the new year, the sound of firecrackers came from the long street early in the morning, and the children on the Zhuangzi came out one after another to put the "open door cannon battle".

Zhuangzi began to get busy up and down, I don't know if he deliberately forgot Jiang Ruan's master and servant, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, no one came to the courtyard of the three.

Bai Zhi lit a brazier by the door, half of her body blocked the door, and fanned out the choking smoke, and there was barely a trace of warmth in the room. The sun shines into the yard outside, the yard is the most remote and dilapidated one, the eaves leak wind and rain all the year round, not to mention, there are often voles scurrying, the quilt sent by Zhuangzi is thin, and it has been bitten by rats a lot. Bai Zhi sighed, and couldn't help but look back at Jiang Ruan, who was sitting on the bed with the quilt in her arms.

Jiang Ruan was leaning on a horse-brown pillow sewn from coarse cloth, the quilt was covering his chest, and his hair was hanging down. was sent to Zhuangzi for four years, Zhang Lan's family lacked food and clothing, she developed later than ordinary girls, her hair showed a withered yellow color, at this time the sunlight shone in through the window, her long hair shone with a trace of flowing luster, and her slightly pursed lips seemed to be a little bloody than usual, and her facial features were delicate and upright. The most unique thing is that she sits quietly, but it is more quiet than in the past, as if she has changed someone, strange and strange.

Bai Zhi fiddled with the firewood in the brazier, remembering that Forsythia told her about the autumn goose last night, and finally said: "How can I look at the girl wrong, the changes are simply too great, could it be that the past obedience is a lie?" ”

Bai Zhi didn't know how to answer her, in fact, Forsythia was right, Jiang Ruan's changes were too great, especially as personal maids, they felt it even more obviously. Jiang Ruan has always washed his face with tears since he was sent to Zhuangzi four years ago, and Zhang Lan's family made it difficult in every way, so he simply didn't even have the time to shed tears later, so he only suffered it silently, but he was sad and depressed in his heart, and he was even more reticent on weekdays. Yesterday's attitude towards Qiu Yan seemed to be another person. Bai Zhi wondered in her heart, after a person is seriously ill, is it possible that even his temperament will change at the same time?

But no matter how much it changes, Jiang Ruan is their master, and Jiang Ruan's attitude now is completely different from the past, which may be a good thing. Just as he was in a trance, Forsythia had already walked in with an oiled paper bag and almost knocked over the brazier.

"Be careful," Bai Zhi reproached softly, "How can you be reckless?" ”

"I went and bought some New Year's goods and came back." Forsythia was not annoyed, still smiling, stepped into the room, wrapped the oiled paper on the table and opened it, and said to Jiang Ruan: "Girl, come and eat some too, the spring cakes are still hot." ”

Bai Zhi wondered: "Where did you get it from?" "Zhang Lan's family must not be so kind, now because of Chen Zhao's matter, Zhang Lan is quite resentful of Jiang Ruan, and the subordinates will not take the initiative to touch this moldy head, and they don't even have the broken silver to buy snacks.

"There seems to be a noble person in the Zhuangzi who is coming, and the top and bottom are preparing these days, and there are more snacks prepared, and I have some friendship with the new lily in the kitchen, so I asked for a few." She smiled: "Although we are rougher, we also have to celebrate the New Year, girl, look at it, there is this." She took out a string of copper coins from her arms: "When I came back, I bought it for ten cents, and I asked for a good fortune, and the coming year will be smooth." ”

Bai Zhi sneered: "What are you doing to buy copper money skewers, is it possible to pray for the girl's wealth in the coming year?" ”

"What's so bad about rolling in money?" Forsythia said: "Money can make ghosts grind, what's wrong with having silver, if there is silver, these people will never dare to bully the girl like this." ”

Bai Zhi hurriedly made a color at Forsythia, reminding her that Jiang Ruan was still there, so don't say it again. Forsythia knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth and glanced at Jiang Ruan carefully.

Jiang Ruan shook her head, slowly lifted the quilt and walked down, Forsythia hurriedly came over to hold her, Jiang Ruan walked to the table and sat down, looked at the bracelet on the table, and reached out to put it on herself. She compared, and said, "Ask for a good prize." ”

Forsythia felt sour, and said in her heart that the young lady in the house is not a bunch of large and small jewelry in the New Year, but her own girl only has a copper coin string worth ten cents, even in ordinary people's homes, it is not worth mentioning. Turning his head sideways to hide the sourness in his eyes, Forsythia smiled again: "Girl, let's eat another spring cake." ”

Jiang Ruan shook his head: "I can't eat it, you can eat it." She paused, and then said, "I don't have any money to reward you, come with me to Zhuangzi, you have also suffered a lot in the past four years, but fortunately, in this year, we don't have to suffer." ”

"Yes, yes," Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "This year, the girl has been blessed all year round, and everything is going well!" ”

Jiang Ruan knew that she had misunderstood what she meant, and she didn't explain, but just looked out the window: "The weather outside is very good, let's go for a walk." ”

Bai Zhi and Forsythia glanced at each other in surprise, Jiang Ruan was reluctant to take the initiative to go out for a walk except for work on weekdays, and the subordinates on Zhuangzi always tried their best to ridicule the three of them when they saw them, Forsythia had a pungent temperament, and could barely suppress some people, but it didn't help, and in the long run, Jiang Ruan became reluctant to see people, and always stayed in his own yard.

"Okay," Forsythia smiled as she went through the suitcase, "which dress does the girl want to wear?" ”

Jiang Ruan laughed in her heart, in fact, she wore the same clothes, she brought a lot of items and clothes with her when she came to Zhuangzi, but those jewelry and clothes were deceived and snatched away by Zhang Lan and Chen Fang and her daughter not long after, and at the end of the day, she didn't even leave a piece of her own clothes. Chen Fang took all her clothes and exchanged them for her rough and tattered old clothes, not to mention the appearance and fabric, the cotton in the cotton clothes in the winter is so thin that it is difficult to even keep out the ordinary cold.

"You pick." Jiang Ruan said.

Forsythia and Bai Zhi picked a small number of days for a long time, and then picked out an old padded jacket with dark green buckles, and at the bottom was a wide yellow thick cloth skirt that Bai Zhi had changed to a smaller size, and a beige long cloak was covered with a long beige cape. Afraid that her delicate hair would not match her clothes, Bai Zhi combed the simplest bun for her, because she was young, and it looked unexpectedly suitable. This dress is really not festive, only Jiang Ruan's complexion is pale, and his dress does not look rustic, coupled with his quiet and indifferent temperament, he is like two people on weekdays.

After cleaning up, the three of them walked out of the yard, Forsythia proposed to go for a walk on the street, just out of the big mansion on the Zhuangzi, they met a few people head-on, and a surprised voice came: "Sister Ruan!" ”

Forsythia frowned, Bai Zhi silently protected Jiang Ruan behind her, Jiang Ruan raised her head, and the other party's shadow clearly reflected her eyes.

It is the youngest son of Zhang Lan's family, Chen Zhao.
