11 Decide in this life

But I am used to enjoying happiness in the red dust, and there are people waiting, and I don't have to think about food, clothing, and use. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info used to this kind of life. Nostalgia is a summer golden vine flowers, a leisurely afternoon tea. Holding a travelogue in his hand, he read a book while sipping tea. There is a little girl on the side to help play the fan. When you get tired of reading, close your eyes, and reminisce about your childhood. Let Ruan Yuan go back to the countryside again, begging for food and clothing in the wind and rain, but she is unwilling.

But Ruan Yuan still couldn't help but think that if she didn't follow her father to Beijing and stay in the countryside for the rest of her life, she wouldn't be able to see Loushi. In that case, will she marry Liu Gui? Liu Gui is not a thing in the pool, and it is his obsession to enter Beijing to gain fame.

At the fork in the road of life, I turned to the left and suffered a lot. This time, she turned to the right, and it wasn't necessarily a smooth road.

For her previous life, Ruan Yuan has never regretted it. At least for love, she tried, and then failed. Again, she doesn't hate anyone. She wanted to live a different life. Maybe it's still not satisfactory, but she still wants to try.

Liu Gui didn't necessarily have to wait for her in front.

After walking around the courtyard, the two aunts sent by Mrs. Jian to teach Ruan Yuan the rules did not come back, but only sent two little girls to take away the salute of the two.

It stands to reason that since the two aunts came to return to Yanju, they were asked by Mrs. Jian to go back, and they should also resign from Ruan Yuan.

Ruan Yuan didn't care, she just let Luliu look at the little girl and take things, and told her not to forget things. Then he turned and went back to the house. Sitting under the window and reading a book for a while, it was time for dinner. Green willow came in with green jade and green gourd carrying a large food box. Place the meal on the table. A bowl of porridge and a few side dishes. Ruan Yuan's eyes turned into fish's eyes.

It turns out that I am in Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and I have been eating all this? Ruan Yuan tried her best to recall her previous life, however, all she could think of were her various plans and calculations, how to make Lou Shi tempted, and she didn't have a little impression on eating.

Ruan Yuan said: "It's too little, I can't eat enough." ”

Green Bead echoed and nodded her head like a chicken eating rice. She hasn't eaten enough since she entered the Hou Mansion. The people in the Hou Mansion not only eat meticulously, but they are also a little taller, and they are also like beautiful women, and they eat a small bite when they eat.

Lu Liu persuaded: "The young lady is sick, she hasn't eaten well for more than half a month, you can't eat too much at once, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable." This porridge was specially ordered by the prince to make it for the young lady in the kitchen. ”

Ruan Yuan didn't believe it, but she also knew that Luliu was kind-hearted and wanted her to have a harmonious relationship with Lou Shi.

The green bead pouted secretly. I thought to myself: The prince doesn't care about our girl!

Ruan Yuan poured two plates of side dishes into the porridge bowl with a sad face, stirred them with chopsticks, and poured the porridge with the vegetables into her mouth in two bites. Let's chirp, Ruan Yuan looked like she wasn't full, staring at the bowl, as if she could stare at the rice.

After finishing, he went to lie on the kang and didn't dare to move, for fear that he would not be able to digest enough at night and be hungry again.

Waiting for the four girls to finish eating, they sat on the edge of the kang, and called Lu Zhu and the others, who were busy, to him and said, "You all come here, I have something to say to you." ”

Four people lined up in a row with green beads as the head and stood in front of the edge of the kang. Ruan Yuan looked up at them with tired necks and panicked, and said, "Don't stand like a stake, move a small stool to sit alone." ”

Green willow said "yes", first retreated and moved a low stool, Lu Zhu and others moved, learned the appearance of green willow and took a few steps back, also moved the stool, and sat down next to each other.

"Go out in a while and tell Mama Zheng to stop working, it's not good for your eyes, your neck and waist." Ruan Yuan thought for a while and said.

Lu Zhu hurriedly said: "No wonder Mama Zheng has been beating her neck lately, is it possible that she is tired of doing work?" ”

Green Willow glanced at the green beads, did not speak, and his face was solemn. Lu Li and Green Jade also felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and they lowered their heads and stayed.

Ruan Yuan smiled at Lu Zhu, and then looked back and forth with her eyes with a solemn face. After a while, he said: "In addition to Luzhu, Luliu was originally the girl of a big family, but Luyu and Luli were the daughters of a good family, but they were sold as slaves, and it is pitiful to think about it." ”

The four of them didn't know how Ruan Yuan brought this up, even Lu Zhu felt that something was wrong, and his face was serious.

Ruan Yuan has been talking fast since she was a child, although she has been sick for a few days, her body has lost, and her voice is a little unable to keep up, but her speed has not been reduced by half a point. After a pause, he said again: "I have thought about it carefully these days, you are better than me, especially the green willow, and your behavior is even higher than me, but it is a pity to be a slave for life." Besides, the slave and maid who sell their bodies will also be slaves and maids in the future, and they can't be concubines for anyone they want. ”

Ruan Yuan said this, it is not unfounded, there are provisions in the law that you are not allowed to take maids as concubines.

In order to be angry with her, Lou Shi threatened to accept Luliu as a concubine. The first is that Lu Liu is dead or alive, and the second is that Ruan Yuan is holding Lu Liu's deed of sale in her hand, Lou Shi can't change Lu Liu's slave status, and there is no way to talk about concubines.

Ruan Yuan paused when she spoke, and Lu Liu slipped directly from the stool to the ground as if she was shocked. His mouth trembled: "Girl! Then he covered his mouth with his hands, and his eyes widened.

Green Bead, Green Jade and Green Lotus were startled, not because of Ruan Yuan's words, but because of Green Willow's reaction. Then Lu Zhu pulled Ruan Yuan's sleeve and said, "The slave maid has been waiting for the young lady since she was a child, and she will definitely follow her for a lifetime in the future." ”

Green Jade and Green Lily also said: "Although the slave maid has a shallow life with the young lady, she will follow her for a lifetime." ”

Ruan Yuan sat up straight, pulled up the green willow kneeling on the edge of the kang and said, "Okay, I didn't say anything, get up and sit down, listen to what I say." ”

Green Willow sat back in his place, his face pale.

Ruan Yuan leaned back on the pillow she was leaning on, but smiled kindly at the green willow.

It's like comforting the green willows. Then he said, "Don't be careful, I don't mean to drive you out." But I want to remove your slavery, and if you are willing to go home, go back to your father and mother, and be willing to wait on me. Anyway, I don't have the money to buy another girl, and if you leave, I will only have to use the people in the Hou Mansion. Actually, I'm glad you stayed, and everything is still the same as before, but you are no longer a slave. Seeing that you are all going to say goodbye, it is better to marry a commoner than to marry a servant in the house in the future, and the children and grandchildren are all slaves, and there is no chance to turn over. ”

Green Jade and Lu Li used to be ordinary people, and after listening to Ruan Yuan's words, they were both happy in their hearts, and a slightly excited smile appeared on their faces. Luzhu has been waiting for Ruan Yuan since she was a child, but she refused to live or die, grabbed Ruan Yuan's sleeve and shook her head with tears.

On weekdays, the most calm green willow has a white face and doesn't say a word.

Ruan Yuan said with a smile: "Okay, you all go and get busy, this thing can't be done in a day, it's not easy to go to slavery, it's not just a deed of sale that can be torn up." I'll just tell you first, so I'm going to make plans. ”

The person was bought by Ruan Yuan's father, Ruan Feng, and his wife, Sun. Although the deed of sale was in Ruan Yuan's hands, the return of slaves was to ask Ruan Feng to go to the capital in person to eliminate the slave status for them, and also to set up a slave deed, and to ask a guarantor to draw a guarantee. It is very troublesome to register slaves.

Lu Zhu and the others didn't suspect him, so they all went out to do things. Yesterday, when Lou Shi stood under the eaves and looked at the yard, they were shocked to realize that the yard was deserted, and weeds grew along the roadside, stones, and flowers, and no one cleaned them up.

Green Jade and Green Lily stood outside, staring at the little girls in the courtyard pulling weeds and cleaning up the yard. Working in the moonlight on a summer evening, it's just not hot.

Luzhu asked Zheng's mother for some silver, and mysteriously walked to the kitchen.

Lu Liu deliberately dragged it and didn't leave, until the three of Lu Zhu went out, turned around and knelt down in front of Ruan Yuan, just crying: "The young lady must have misunderstood the slave maid, the slave maid is only thinking about the young lady, and she doesn't think about it." ”

Ruan Yuan had no choice but to sit up again, pulled the green willow up and said, "I think you misunderstood, I went to your slave registration just to make you better in the future, and nothing else." I also know that you have no relatives, and after you go to slavery, you will be by my side with peace of mind. If you were grateful to me, you would be even more dedicated. Otherwise, it's the same as before. You've had a heart for me before. ”

Lu Liu wanted to talk about it, but he was afraid that Ruan Yuan would misunderstand, and if he didn't say it, he felt that Ruan Yuan had discovered something. The little face became more and more pale, and he only muttered in his mouth: "Young lady......"

Ruan Yuan is not beautiful, but her eyes are black and white, as if she can see everything in the world. He rolled his eyes and smiled, "I only ask you for one thing." ”

Lu Liu didn't know why, looked directly at Ruan Yuan, and forgot about the usual etiquette.

"You just don't think about making me the lady in your mind, and all day long I say in my ear that this is not in accordance with the rules, and that is not in accordance with the rules." Ruan Yuan squinted her eyes and smiled, "What I said during the day is not to scare you, if you have nothing to persuade me, I will really send you back to Ruan's house." ”

Green Willow's face turned red, how could she say that the master was not the one who obeyed the rules like her? She was just anxious for the young lady and entered the eyes of the prince earlier.

Ruan Yuan stroked the hair in her ears for Lu Liu, and said with a smile: "In the future, let's live a good life, you go and take a look at Lu Zhu, she won't look at it for a while, she will definitely get into trouble." ”

Thinking of that stunned Qing, Green Willow immediately thought that Green Bead had been out for a while. And outside the house, looking at the work, the only sounds that came in were green jade and green lily. What about green beads? If she was outside, she wouldn't have been silent.

Lu Liu faced Ruan Yuan and retreated, Ruan Yuan smiled: "You just turn around and go out, I look awkward." Aren't you the most disciplined? Don't tell me how everyone is beautiful in the future, you just care how happy I am and how you behave. ”

Ruan Yuan's mouth never let people.

The green willow's face was red again, and he stomped his feet, turned around and ran. Ruan Yuan can't change the habits she has developed since she was a child, and she can't change it like a green willow. In this way, the green willow turned around in front of the master, and it was difficult for her to stomp her feet. With his back to Ruan Yuan, Lu Liu always felt that something was wrong with his body, like a man's back.

When I came out to inquire, no one paid attention to where the green beads went.

Through a window, Ruan Yuan heard all the words outside. But she only thought about it for a moment, and she knew where the green bead had gone. Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Ruan Yuan's head was full of pig's trotters and pork ribs, packed in pots, full of boarding, glowing with oil flowers and wafting with fragrance. Thinking about it, it was as if these things were really in front of me.

Ruan Yuan couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly.

How long has it been since she's eaten these? In her previous life, since she married into the Hou Mansion, for more than ten years after that, she tried her best to be worthy of Lou Shi, and ate the food in the Hou Mansion willingly, and she almost couldn't remember how much she loved to eat these things.

She eats large pieces of pork belly, large bones, whole fish, and eats in large bowls, not teacups.

Luliu couldn't find the green beads, so she had to go to Zheng's mother's house, and saw that Zheng's mother was still sewing things with her head down. When I got closer, it was a pair of big red pillowcases for newlyweds. There is also a pair of good ones on the side, which are placed flat on the bed.

"How's the young lady? Did you ask me? Zheng's mother asked without raising her head.

Ruan Yuan's family is poor, she has no dowry, and she has no money at hand. As Ruan married into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, she realized that the high-walled compound was not the fairy-like day she had imagined before. The master has no money in his hand, and even an inferior girl dares to show his face.

Zheng's mother had no choice, so she had to carry Ruan Yuan to take the embroidery work outside, earn a few taels of silver, and supplement the family.
