It is said that Qian Yuning came to a house with a steward named Tietou and the like, only to see that the plaque at the gate of the house had four big characters "Green Willow Courtyard" written on the plaque at the gate of the house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere was a mighty stone lion standing still on both sides of the door, the iron steward stepped forward and knocked on the door, and came out with two young men in Tsing Yi dressed as subordinates, and when they saw the iron steward, they hurriedly bent down to say hello, and the iron steward was not polite to them, and swaggered in, and Qian Yuning and his party followed behind.
The iron steward took Qian Yuning to a side hall, and immediately a maid served tea, and a middle-aged man dressed as a steward walked in, everyone called him Mo Guan, he was of medium stature, six feet tall, white and fat, and two small eyes were very attentive. When Steward Mo came in, he bowed his hand to the iron steward and said, "Brother Tie, I haven't seen you for a long time." The iron steward also arched his hand and said, "Don't care about it." The iron steward introduced Qian Yuning to Mo Guan with his side hand, and said: "This is the aunt of the little marquis Xinna, who came all the way from Yongzhou, and the boat and car were tiring. ”
As soon as the iron pipe said this, it shocked everyone, Qian Yuning suddenly knew that she was just an aunt, and she was the new aunt of the little marquis, her face turned pale, and she sat in a daze without any movement, as if she was hit hard. But the people around her are different, when they heard the three words of the little marquis, the two grandmothers and the little maids who came from Yongzhou all the way to her side were in high spirits, the little marquis, these three words are simply more valuable than gold ingots, and they have finally found a good master. And Mo Guan was also surprised, but after all, he was old, and there was nothing unusual on his face, but he just gave his hand to Qian Yuning in the seat and casually said twice: "Under Mo Jian, I have seen my aunt." "It's kind of a hello.
Subsequently, Steward Mo sent the iron steward out of the door, and when he came back, he instructed the following to call two girls to serve in front of Aunt Qian. The two maids are Mo Guan's henchmen, and when they heard Mo Guan's orders, they knew that they wanted to touch the bottom of this new aunt.
Qian Yuning and his entourage came to a courtyard with the two maids of Qiushuang and Qiulu, only to see that the horizontal plaque at the gate of the courtyard had a few big words "Freehand House", and after Qiushuang Qiuxia introduced Qian Yuning into Freehand House and sat down, they both knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Slave Qiushuang, slave Qiulu, I have seen my aunt." ”
Qian Yuning was stunned at this time, she had never been kneeled, and she was a little at a loss, but fortunately, the two grandmothers around her had stayed in the courtyard of the mansion, and they reacted quickly, and quickly helped up the autumn frost and autumn dew on the ground one by one, one of them was surnamed Liu, and Mama Liu said: "Two girls, get up quickly, the ground is strangely cold." The autumn frost and autumn dew also got up and stood aside in a proper manner.
Mama Liu took a closer look, although the two of them were girls, they could be dressed up very richly, with a gold chrysanthemum and butterfly headdress on their heads, with sterling silver pearl earrings, two solid gold carved chrysanthemum bracelets on their hands, and a sky blue silk cotton lining, and a royal blue embroidered gold silk chrysanthemum jacket. Dressed like this, it is a little more delicate than the ordinary lady, plus the beauty of the two of them, and their complexions are ruddy, so that today's protagonist Qian Yuning is compared. Qian Yuning was poor in the past, she never dressed up, and later married someone to dress lightly, even if she followed Cui Shuyan now, he gave a few boxes of gold and silver jewelry, but she couldn't get used to wearing it, so she simply picked up two or three plain ones to wear. The maid is even more magnificent than the master, the two grandmothers are deeply disturbed, they were bought back by Cui Shuyan and specified that they want to serve Aunt Qian, the two know that Aunt Qian's future is the future of the two of them, if Aunt Qian has no future, then they will never have a future. Another grandmother surnamed Sun, Grandma Sun stepped forward, took out two corners of broken silver from her sleeve and stuffed them into Qiushuang Qiulu's hand, with a smile on her face, and said, "The two girls have worked hard, so let's go back and rest!" We're here to serve. ”
After listening to Mama Sun's words, Qiushuang and Qiulu looked at each other and smiled, stuffed the silver in her hand back into Mama Sun's hand, and said: "Mama is serious, the slave maid is here to serve the aunt, according to the rules of the house, from now on, the two of us will be the big maids in the aunt's room. Grandma Sun held a dime of broken silver in one hand, she really didn't take it, she didn't take it, and her old face was flushed. Seeing this, Mama Liu hurriedly went over and pulled Mama Sun away, and said with a smile on her face: "Two girls, how to fix our aunt's lunch?" My aunt was a little tired and wanted to have lunch earlier to rest. When Qiushuang Qiulu heard this, they all looked at each other and smiled, quite proud, and the two casually made a squatting salute to Qian Yuning, and said, "In this way, auntie, please wait a while, and the slaves and maids will go to arrange lunch." ”
Mama Liu watched at the door for a long time, and made sure that the two of them had gone away, so she came back and complained to Mama Sun in the house: "Sister, why are you so confused just now, the two of them are clearly here to trick us, and you still take out the silver, do you think this is Yongzhou?" Look at other people's clothes, will people look down on your broken silver? ”
Mama Sun was very aggrieved: "Who knew that these two cheap hooves were so vicious, humiliating me in public, and I caught them another day, and beat them well." When Mama Liu heard her say this, her head was big. It turned out that Mama Sun was originally in Yongzhou as an errand boy in a rich family, and was in charge of punishment, all the slaves and maids of all sizes made mistakes, and the master handed them over to her to punish, and later because the master's son committed a crime, the master's family became a seller of wealth and servants, and the silver money finally saved his son's life. When Mama Sun arrived in the hands of Renyazi, she and Mama Liu were taken by Cui Shuyan, who came to choose a maid for Qian Yuning, and bought it to serve Qian Yuning.
Mama Liu interrupted Mama Sun and said, "You stinky mouth, don't talk about it, you don't know what to do, one day you will bring trouble to yourself, and your aunt will be affected." My aunt and the little marquis treat me like a mountain, we just have to serve them well, and we must not say these words again in the future. ”
Mama Liu said so, Mama Sun had to shut up, and she was alone and sulking. Mama Liu stood next to Qian Yuning and called the four maids to her, and said, "You are all aunts' people, all the way from Jiangning to Yongzhou, and from Yongzhou to the capital, has your aunt treated you badly?" ”
The four maids all said: "No, my aunt treats us well." ”
One of the fast-talking girls said, "Our aunt is good, and her heart is good." ”
Seeing this, Mama Liu smiled and nodded: "Yes, from now on, my aunt will be the heaven of the six of us, she is good, we are naturally good in everything, Xiaoxiang, you are the most clever, from now on, you will follow my aunt with me." Madoka is in charge of food and hygiene, Xiaolan is in charge of clothes, shoes and socks, and Xiaoshuang is in charge of gold and silver jewelry. Mama Sun is responsible for the safety of our yard. ”
After arranging these, Mama Liu asked the maids to pack their luggage, and she helped Qian Yuning to the bedroom, and Mama Sun followed behind the two.
When she arrived in the room, Mama Liu helped Qian Yuning onto the bed and let her lie down, seeing that she looked lifeless, she couldn't help but worry, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that there is something uncomfortable? ”
Qian Yuning lay flat on the bed, turned her head sideways and stared at Mama Liu and said, "Mama, I never thought I would be someone else's concubine." ”
In Jiangning City that day, Mama Liu also knew a little about Qian Yuning, in her opinion, this Qian Yuning was really lucky, once the carp jumped into the dragon pond, this became the concubine of the little marquis, and was not worried about the glory and wealth? How many good people's daughters can't ask for good things to Qian Yuning here, it seems to be reluctant, which makes Mama Liu incomprehensible, but she didn't dare to say it seriously, for fear of hurting her aunt, so she had to pick up the others and said: "Auntie don't worry, you are committed to the little marquis as a concubine, what you do is a good concubine, you only need to give a salute to the wife, the general concubine room and you can't compare, they have to be a head shorter than you when they see you, you don't have to bow down with them to be small, from now on, just serve the little marquis well, and wait for him to give birth to a son and a half daughter, Even if you have a lifetime of blessings, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. ”
Seeing that Qian Yuning was still unmoved, Mama Liu said again: "The old lady in the family is old and often suffers from illness, and the little marquis helped to hire a famous doctor, but it costs a lot, and the aunt's maiden brother and younger brother have nothing to think about because of the death of the old man a year ago, have these aunts thought about it?" How do you plan? ”
Mama Liu continued: "I see that the little marquis is very fond of his aunt, and he must like his aunt in the future. ”
Mama Liu kept staring at Qian Yuning when she spoke, seeing that she was a little loose, but she still didn't make a sound, so she made persistent efforts and said: "If my aunt doesn't want to follow the little marquis, you can go back to Jiangning City again, but I think the county magistrate seems to have a lot of complaints about your family, I don't know if it will be a personal vendetta when the time comes!" Besides, the master's matter is so strange, doesn't my aunt want to find out clearly? ”
Mama Liu has a good mouth, this last sentence can be regarded as a point of Qian Yuning's death, she has never believed that her father died accidentally, but unfortunately she is just a weak female stream, where can she have the ability to confront the government, now it is different, she followed the little marquis, although she is just a concubine, but, maybe, perhaps, Qian Yuning's heart turned a thousand times, the face of her father and mother appeared in her mind for a while, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law, three brothers and three brothers and sisters appeared for a while, and then remembered her daughter and her daughter's father Wei Mingyuan. In the end, she remembered the handsome man, he turned out to be the little marquis, she only said that he was a rich and noble man, but she didn't expect it to be so big, she should have thought of it, his belongings and clothes and every move, all with a sense of elegance and nobility of a superior person, and the most important thing is that he also has a domineering taste, in fact, he probably likes him too. That's it, just be a concubine, just a concubine, Qian Yuning thought to herself, no matter what, it seems that there is no way back now, maybe he is really his lover, and now the lover has already been married to him, Qian Yuning was depressed just now, just because of the identity of the concubine, a woman will not leave a man who is good to her. Moreover, Qian Yuning gently touched her lower abdomen, all the way from Yongzhou, more than two months, the first month of her monthly letter was very punctual, but the second month has passed five days, the monthly letter is still delayed, everyone is busy along the way, there is no doctor, she is not sure that she is pregnant, maybe, it is caused by too much work, she thought.
Mama Liu saw Qian Yuning's expression change, and finally calmed down, she knew that she had made a decision, she had a pair of sharp eyes, saw Qian Yuning touching her lower abdomen, with a gentle look on her face, she knew it in her heart, but she didn't say anything, she only secretly screamed in her heart, it seems that from now on, she can live in the capital again. Mama Liu covered Qian Yuning with a quilt, and when she saw that Qian Yuning had fallen asleep, she instructed Mama Sun to guard and go out to direct the little girls to do things.
