The twelfth year of Tianyuan

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the palatial capital is dyed with a thick layer of white. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although the people on the street were shivering from the cold of winter, their faces were full of joy.

After all, the New Year is approaching, in addition to relaxing, the more important thing is that you can reunite with your family.

Jing'an Hou Mansion

Located in the most prosperous area of the capital, perhaps because of the winter, the entire mansion looks solemn and solemn, but the atmosphere is less than a trace of vitality.

However, the scenery of Fuchu is unique.

The exquisite pavilions and pavilions, the elegant and beautiful bamboo forest, the zigzag verandah of Chengyong Road by Shiziman, the flying buildings on both sides are inserted into the air, and the carved and embroidered sill are all shaded between the mountain cols and trees. Looking down at it, then the clear stream is pouring snow, the stone pierces the clouds, the white stone is the column, the edge of the pond is embraced, the stone bridge is three ports, and the beast face is spitting.

Walk along the corridor of the main building of the bamboo garden to the end, and you can enter the inner courtyard.

It's just that at the moment, the inner courtyard is very deserted, and I haven't felt the festive atmosphere at all.

At this time, I saw two young maids holding food boxes in their hands, chatting quietly while walking.

"Qingcao, why do you think our lady can't think about it so much? It's good to be her Mrs. Hou, she has to do such an immoral thing. ”

Qingcao sighed: "Who said no, our Hou Ye treats her well on weekdays, and the first thing that comes to mind is her." Especially when she celebrated her birthday last year, Lord Hou carefully prepared a banquet for her, and none of those officials' wives were envious of her on weekdays. It's just that who would have thought that the gentle and dignified lady on weekdays would do such a shameless thing, Hou Ye must be very sad at this moment. ”

Qingmei heard Qingcao say this, and her face suddenly showed a look of contempt: "Maybe people's gentleness and dignity are completely pretended to be shown to all of us, but now this is her nature, the whole is a shameless slut woman, and she is still a mother." Our son has such a mother, I don't know how many people will laugh at it in the future. ”

Qingcao nodded, and her heart was still full of agreeing with Qingmei's words.

Shizi is still young now, and he doesn't understand anything, so it's okay to talk about these things. But once the prince grows up, if he knows that he has a mother who is unwilling to be lonely and commits adultery with the guards in his house, what kind of face will the prince have in the future to face everyone in the capital, and the prince will definitely become the object of ridicule and ridicule of those who do good things in the future.

Thinking of what the prince might face when he grew up, Qingcao's eyes inadvertently showed a faint pity.

As the two spoke, they walked to a remote courtyard, and the people guarding the courtyard greeted the two of them with a smile when they saw that it was Qingcao and Qingmei.

"Oops, isn't this Sister Qingcao and Qingmei? Why, it's you two who are here to deliver food to Madame today? ”

Qingcao smiled faintly: "Yes, Hongxing and Hongtao accompanied Miss Zhang out to buy something, so today Qingmei and I will deliver food to Madame." ”

Qingmei smiled at the man guarding the door: "Are you particularly disappointed to see us coming?" ”

The man touched the back of his head and smiled innocently, with a faint flush on his dark skin: "How come?" Qingcao and Sister Qingmei can come, I am happy in my heart. ”

Qingmei took a sip of the man, and said angrily: "Okay, don't delay the two of us, after delivering food to Mrs. in a while, we are still going to go out of the house to buy some things." ”

The man smiled and let Qingmei come in, then took off a bunch of keys from his waist, and took the lead in walking towards a dilapidated house in the courtyard, and said to the two of them as he walked: "Two sisters, after you bring the food in, you'd better leave quickly, don't be entangled by Madame, otherwise it will be difficult to get out." ”

Qingcao was puzzled: "What do you mean not to be entangled by Mrs., what happened?" ”

The man smiled bitterly: "What else can I do?" Isn't it just that Madame is bent on seeing Master Hou? After a pause, seeing that the expressions of the two were still a little ignorant, the man continued: "Now no matter who enters the firewood room, the lady is asking and kowtowing, just hoping to meet the Hou Ye." The two sisters also know that those of us who are subordinates dare to meddle in the master's affairs, so in order to have more than one thing, it is better for the two sisters to leave quickly after the meal. ”

Listening to the man's words, Qingcao frowned secretly.

In her mind, Madame should not be like this. Although she didn't have much contact with Madame, she intuitively felt that Madame should be a good person.

Qingmei looked at the man and said in disgust: "She still has the face to shout to see Hou Ye, to do such a bad thing, Hou Ye has not divorced her now, and she is already benevolent enough to her." ”

Qingcao pulled Qingmei and asked her to say a few words.

Qingmei turned her head and snorted coldly, although she no longer spoke, but there was still a look of disgust in her eyes.

The man looked at the two of them flatteringly: "Two sisters, I have already said what I should say, you just put down the food box and come out quickly." As for the firewood room...... "The man was embarrassed: "I won't accompany you two into the firewood room, I have really been pestered by my wife recently, and the two sisters must not be blamed." ”

Qingcao expressed understanding, and then walked in with Aome after the man opened the door of the firewood room. When he saw Tang Xin, who was huddled in the corner of the wall with his knees hugged, Qingcao felt a momentary tingle in his heart.

Madam...... How did it come to be like this?

In her impression, Madame has always been a very beautiful woman.

I remember that on her birthday last year, she was wearing a large peony emerald green smoke veil Bixia Luo, a pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaf skirt that dragged the floor, and her body was draped in a thin gold silk smoke emerald green veil. The low-hanging sideburns are slanted with pearl-inlaid jasper steps, and the steps are even more graceful and feminine. It was really a flower and a moon out of the water hibiscus, and I don't know how many guests on the scene were amazed.

But now......

Looking at Tang Xin, who had fluffy and loose hair, a haggard face, and confused and dull eyes in front of her, Qingcao was in a trance for a moment, and always felt that this appearance was not suitable for her, and she should enjoy a better life.

Qingmei was also stunned for a moment after seeing Tang Xin's appearance, but after a while, she sneered: "You deserve it, I knew why I had to do it today." ”

Tang Xin raised his head and glanced at the two of them quietly, then lowered his head and continued to be silent.

She has experienced this kind of thing too many times, no matter who says she deserves it, they all say that she is self-inflicted. But who can understand the bitterness in her heart?

The night before the accident, it was obvious that she was drinking in the house with Hou Ye, but when she woke up in the morning, there was an inexplicable man around her. And that man she also knows, it is the cronies and dogs next to her. The dog was asleep, and he didn't wake up even if he pushed it twice. Just when she was at a loss, Hou Ye pushed the door in, and then the entire Jing'an Hou Mansion and even the entire capital knew that her Tang Xin was a ******** and a shameless woman, and she hooked up with the servants in the mansion while Hou Ye was drunk.

But obviously she didn't do it, obviously she was drinking with Hou Ye the night before, but when she woke up, everything changed. Everyone didn't believe her, everyone scolded her, including Hou Ye, who also looked at her with an unbelievable and even sad face. But no matter what others say, Tang Xin insisted that he was wronged. It's just that no one believes her, including Hou Ye, and he doesn't believe in her either.

After being imprisoned in the firewood room, Tang Xin knew that his life was over. She cried, she explained, just to have someone who could trust her, that she wouldn't do such a thing. But everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a dirty rag, and their eyes were full of contempt and sarcasm, just like this little maid in front of them.

Gradually, Tang Xin became numb, and he no longer pleaded with them, because Tang Xin knew that no matter how much she begged, they would not help her. So she gave up, stopped trying, and just wanted to wait quietly for her final ending.

Inexplicably, Qingcao felt as if tears were about to overflow in her eyes, so she turned her head and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.

Qingmei saw that her face was not right, so she said, "Are you okay?" Why is the face so ugly? ”

Qingcao shook her head, then took the food box in Qingmei's hand, put it in front of Tang Xin with the food box in her hand, and said softly: "Madam, this is your lunch today, I will put it in front of you." Seeing that Tang Xin still didn't react, Qingcao continued uneasily: "Now that the weather has begun to get colder, the meal must be eaten while it is hot, otherwise after eating the cold into the stomach, it will be a must-have illness." Even if you don't think about yourself, just think about it for the sake of Xiao Shizi, and you must not let your body collapse. ”

After Tang Xin heard Xiao Shizi's three words, his dull eyes finally changed slightly.

Qingmei saw that Qingcao was so good to Tang Xin, and she was immediately a little angry: "Qingcao, don't you remember what Xiao Yong told us just now?" You just put the food box in front of her, why do you care about so many idle things? She's such a big person, and her brain is not stupid, just having a meal, she doesn't need you to be so careful, be careful and make a fuss for herself. ”

Although Qingcao didn't like Qingmei's tone of speech, she also knew that what she said was all for her good, so after telling Tang Xin again, she stood up and prepared to leave.

The corners of Tang Xin's mouth squirmed, looking at the slender back of the grass, and finally said, "Thank you." ”

The pace of walking stiffened for a moment, and Qingcao slowly turned his head to look at Tang Xin and said with a smile: "This is what a slave should do." ”

The door of the firewood room was locked again, and Tang Xin looked at the food box in front of him sluggishly, and tears fell silently.
