On the tenth day of the third month of the fifty-fourth year of the pouring ink, at noon, it rained lightly and the weather was cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info a goose-yellow soft sedan chair in the bleak wind and rain, quietly parked in the backyard of Nalan Mansion.

"Big lady, here!"

With the sedan car, Ah Huang quickly took out a small mahogany footstool and placed it under the sedan door.

The first to jump down was Chun Nuan, Chun Nuan did not wait for his feet to settle down, immediately stood up straight respectfully, opened a crescent-colored pomegranate carved oil paper umbrella with his right hand, faced the car door, stretched out his left hand to hang the blue dark satin brocade sedan curtain, and shouted in a deep voice: "Mrs., the slave will help you get off the sedan chair~"

The mahogany stool used to put his feet under the sedan door had already been put away by Ah Huang, and I saw Ah Huang leaning forward slightly, half-squatting in front of the sedan chair. When the spring warmth is opened, the sedan curtain is opened, and the upper body is immediately bowed, which is 90 degrees with the lower body, completely parallel to the ground. His eyes were half-closed, and his hands were firmly pressed on the ground on both sides to support his body, not moving at all.

At this time, the eldest lady only leaned out half of her body, she should have rested in the sedan chair, looking energetic. There are two pear nests at the corners of the eldest lady's mouth, which looks like a light smile on weekdays, which is quite loving. But now she seems to have a gloomy face, two finely painted green daisy eyebrows are tangled together, and her left hand can't help but pick up a small warm green handkerchief and cover it around her mouth and nose.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why the eldest lady did this. When I followed the eldest lady's line of sight, I suddenly realized.

Although there are not a few stairs to the house, because the backyard has been uninhabited for a long time, the blue-gray stairs have long been washed away by time. It was covered with speckled spots, wet, slippery dark brown moss, which moved like worms under the impact of the rain, which was quite disgusting.

Chun Nuan was nervous, her hands were desperately buttoning her clothes, and a lot of fine small water droplets slipped down her forehead, and she didn't know if it was rain or cold sweat. She thought to herself that this punishment was really doomed.

Suddenly, a little girl wearing a dark gray twill cotton jacket, a simple double snail bun on her head, and thick eyebrows and big eyes rushed out of the team. She didn't know what was stuffed in her arms, and she staggered when she walked, which was quite interesting.

I saw that the girl was bent on the side of the stairs for a moment, and then she straightened up and walked back briskly. She stood beside the eldest lady in an orderly manner, bent her knees, made a respectful gesture, and shouted crisply: "The eldest lady, the slaves and maids are all cleaned up, please get off the sedan chair~"

Only then did the eldest lady see clearly that a layer of crimson smoke and white flower velvet blanket had been properly laid on the stairs. Clean, concise, and festive in red, it adds a bit of life to the dilapidated yard. Her face turned slightly brighter, and she asked slowly, "You girl looks smart, why haven't I seen you before?" ”

The little girl was not timid, lowered her head, and replied seriously: "Mrs. Hui, the slave maid's name is Huang Erya, and she is the son of Nalan Mansion, and your sedan chair maid Ah Huang is the slave's brother." Today, Sister Chunnuan sent someone to say that Mrs. You want a sedan chair, and my brother and others hurriedly carried the sedan chair and left. I thought at home that it was raining and rainy, and it was inevitable that some places would be wet and wet, and what would be good if your wife touched these places? So I took a carpet and hurriedly chased after it, but unfortunately I still delayed your wife for a while, please forgive me. ”

The eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled: "Oh? What is the sin? I'm old enough to like you as clever and straightforward maids. But since your brother is working in my yard, why didn't he see you before? ”

"Mrs. Yu, a few years ago, when Mama Fang picked a little maid, she sympathized with the slave maid's hands and feet, and asked the slave maid to go to the hot water room to be a fire maid."

"Hands and feet are not good? How did I not know that Mama Fang cared so much about others? The eldest lady paused deliberately and looked at Chun Nuan meaningfully.

This Mama Fang is Chun Nuan's mother, usually relying on herself to be the housekeeper of the eldest lady's side, and her daughter is also a big girl with a face, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and she has a lot of money from other slaves.

"Mrs., Mrs., my mother...... My mother ......" Chun Nuan's small droplets of water on her head flowed more violently at this time, almost winding out a thin ditch in front of her. Her face was so pale, her legs trembled, and she seemed to be going to go limp.

"Okay, I didn't say anything, look at you kid, let's go inside. By the way, Huang Erya changed her name to Dongmei, and first went to my house to be a third-class maid. ”

It is said that a lawsuit has just ended outside this house, and in this house, the mean maid Ah Tao is still snorting melon seeds with her orchid fingers, while cursing endlessly Xiaohong who refuses to honor the soup for her. Suddenly, she heard a commotion outside the house, and glanced casually through the carved wooden window.

In an instant, Ah Tao's bitter and hateful face can be described as wonderful, first surprised, then ecstatic, and finally full of ambition, hanging a smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze. Therefore, the human facial nerve is really quite developed, and it is comparable to the speed of Sichuan Opera changing face in just a few moments. Ah Tao thought to herself that her life of suffering and being a rough maid in the first fifteen years may be just to wait for an opportunity, a chance to meet the eldest lady and leap into the dragon gate.

I saw her lift the broom that lay horizontally on the ground, and tidy up the house with great care; Then he ran to a copper basin filled with half a basin of water, and cleaned himself up with clean water three times and two times. After doing all this, Ah Tao moved his small steps and ran out of the small leaf red sandalwood carved moon cave door in the courtyard.

"Ah Tao greets the eldest lady~" She leaned forward slightly, her eyes were half-closed, she squatted down on her knees, and respectfully bowed to the eldest lady. It's a pity that most of the things in this world backfire. The eldest lady ignored Ah Tao and walked into the house slowly with Chun Nuan's steps.

Ah Tao thought to herself that this opportunity to leap into the dragon gate may be like this in this life, if she enters the blue eyes of the eldest lady and becomes a big girl with a good face, she will not be fragrant and spicy in the future? Maybe there will be a chance to get rid of slavery and marry a petty official. Then he followed without hesitation, and shouted behind the eldest lady: "Madam, madam, are you going to see the lady in the house?" The lady is weak and has been waited on by me all the time, so why don't I wake her up first? ”

The eldest lady only noticed Ah Tao at this moment, her face was not wavering, and she couldn't see her joy or anger. Softly asked, "You have been taking care of this house alone?" ”

Ah Tao was secretly happy in her heart, but her face was silent, and she replied loudly: "Mrs. Hui, it is indeed a slave and maid, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and the other maids don't want to come here." ”

"Oh? It seems that you are a good slave who sympathizes with the old master and can speak well. The eldest lady moved the lotus step lightly, deceived forward, and rubbed Ah Tao's jaw with the red gold inlaid jade bead armor, as if she was thinking about something. Immediately afterwards, she plucked the bat pattern inlaid with glass beads on her head and shook the golden branch, and inserted it into Ah Tao's bun at will.

Ah Tao is like falling into the clouds at the moment, in the clouds, and she is so happy that she doesn't know where she is. But before she could digest the joy in her heart, she saw that the eldest lady's face sank, her willow eyebrows were horizontal, and she said sharply: "Someone! Drag this Diao slave who stole his master's things out and kill him with a rod! She didn't even have time to utter a cry of injustice for herself, she was gagged and dragged out like a livestock.

Chun Nuan looked at the figure that was gradually moving away with disdain, struggling and whimpering, and snorted coldly in her heart: It's just an opportunistic stupid girl who wants to leap into the dragon gate, but doesn't know how to judge the situation. How could the eldest lady leave a slave who had taken care of the second lady and was still restless and self-guarding? A cold light flickered in her eyes, and she turned to a clear and delicate, ink-painting-like figure outside the house, and said secretly: Dongmei, if you can climb up, I can make you fall, hard, fall down.

"Chun Nuan, I asked you to bring all the things you prepared, follow me into the back room."

"Yes, big lady."

In the room, the unkempt woman was still coughing violently, her face was withered, she was thin, and there were slight ups and downs in her chest, almost like a lifeless corpse.

The woman's hair was all messy and greasy knotted together; He was wearing only a middle coat on his body, and he was still stained with blood. There was an unpleasant smell of rust in the whole room, but the woman lying on the bed was unaware, only tilted her head, and stared at the swaddling clothes by the pillow without blinking.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that there would be such a residence in the splendid Nalan Mansion. There is only one main room and one side room, and it is still leaking on all sides, in disrepair, and very simple. The furnishings in the wing room are also quite simple, with only a pineapple wood bat-texture carved wooden bed that seems to fall apart when it moves, and a few small black pestles.

This house was originally lived by an old aunt, and the eldest lady suffered several losses at the hands of this old aunt. At that time, the old lady was still there, and this old aunt was quite favored because she was young and beautiful, and she was also a little pampered and proud. As soon as the old lady was killed, the eldest lady sent the old lady to this decaying and dilapidated backyard where insects and ants breeded, and the maid was not allowed to come and serve. The old aunt was used to the days when she came to stretch out her hands for clothes and opened her mouth for food, and she chased after the old lady within a few years. For more than ten years, the house remained abandoned.

Chun Nuan conscientiously supported the frowning eyebrows, covered her nose, and the reluctant eldest lady walked into the wing.

"You're here."

The woman lying on the bed heard the noise and looked up at the door with considerable effort. When I saw that it was them, the hollow eyes were full of light.

The woman desperately tried to get up, her right hand clenched in the shape of a chicken claw, grasping the wooden railing of the carved bed, and her left hand propped up the shabby autumn-colored cotton mat under her body, and both hands were full of green tendons. The woman's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth, and slowly propped her body up. But when she crawled halfway, the strength of her whole body seemed to be exhausted, and she fell back to the bed in a dejected manner, unable to get up again, so she had to smile helplessly.

"Squeak, squeak," the rotten wooden bed let out a long whimper.

"Madam, the daughter of a concubine who knows herself guilty, hinders the face of the Nalan family, and has no shame to live. is only concerned about young girls, and it is really difficult to feel at ease. But begging his wife to take care of her in the future, and wish her a safe and joyful future. ”

After a long and violent breath, the hoarse and old voice of a carpenter sawing wood sounded in the dilapidated hut.

Chun Nuan looked at the woman on the bed in some surprise, the corners of her mouth were closed, and due to the difficulty of breathing, a few abnormal flushes appeared on her transparent face. It's only been a few months? The youth and young Ai who were close to the past, and the smile like a flower fell to this?

"Ahem, cough, cough" The pineapple wood bat texture carved wooden bed that was about to fall apart continued to shake again, and each time it was like the last time. Just like the woman in the bed, the kapok that has been dried more and more in time.

Chun Nuan suddenly felt a little sad. In all fairness, Chun Nuan is not a good person, in the words of the little maid below, she is a bully and black-hearted. can think of the once beautiful second lady, Chun Nuan has never been hard-hearted.

The second lady Xuanyuan Lanxiu married into Nalan Mansion in the early spring of the fifty-third year of pouring ink, and the weather that day was very good, the sun was shining, and the spring flowers were blooming, so it was suitable for marriage and wedding.

At that time, the old Emperor Tilting Mo, who had reigned for 50 years, had not yet returned to the sky, and General Xuanyuan had not rebelled, and his power in the court was in full swing. General Xuanyuan liked the granddaughter of the second lady the most, and spoiled her like a jewel. The wedding was also organized by the general to the extreme, just like what was said in the playbook, ten miles of red makeup and a sea of people, which attracted the envy of women all over the world.

The second lady and the second master are simply a pair of wall people made in heaven in the eyes of the world. One is the important minister of the Son of Heaven, and the other is the queen's mother's family, which can be described as a good family, a favorable location. What's more, one is a noble woman in the imperial capital with picturesque eyebrows and peerless beauty, and the other is a handsome and beautiful son full of poetry and books, and it is the harmony of a golden boy and a jade girl.

It's a pity that not all love stories will be as beautiful as fiction, because on the road of love between talented and beautiful people, there will always be a seemingly weak, but in fact invulnerable Cinderella. In the love story between the second lady and the second master, the Cinderella's surname is Huang, and the word is rippled, and when you hear the name, you know that it is a delicate little white flower.

Huang Yilian had a baby kiss with the second master when she was young, at that time, she was not yet in the middle of the family, and her father Huang Shangshu was still a member of the court. Huangfu and Nalan Mansion are built next to each other, and the housewife of the two mansions is a handkerchief friend in the boudoir, the two grandmothers often visit the door to chat, and see the grandson of the other party's family carved in ice and jade, exquisite and intelligent, all have the intention of marrying, one and two back, this thing has also become.

There is only one wall between the Huang Mansion and the Nalan Mansion, and there are several dog holes on it. It just so happened that Huang Yilian and the second master were both children in their respective houses, and they didn't have any playmates of the right age, and these two children were one in the dog cave and the other in the dog cave every day, talking quietly and pinching the mud people. This is also a childhood sweetheart, two little unguessed feelings, if there are no sudden twists and turns, maybe it will become a love that the world envies.

The accident happened when Huang Yilian was 8 years old, Huang Shangshu made a mistake in the court, and the Son of Heaven was angry and punished him to go to the land of poor mountains and bad waters to be a seven-grade sesame petty official. At that time, the two old ladies who set up the doll kiss also passed away, and Nalan Mansion was used to stepping on the low and holding the high, and took the tokens of the year and even coerced and destroyed the relatives.

This matter is over like this, in the final analysis, it is just a stick beating mandarin ducks, and the two families are also tightly covered. But this Huang Yilian's mother is the daughter of General Xuanyuan, she saw that her youngest daughter was still young and weak, and she was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the fatigue of trekking through mountains and rivers, so she entrusted her to her mother's family, and this trust was entrusted to an accident.

The matter came out in the second month after the second lady married into Nalan Mansion, Chun Nuan remembered that before dawn that day, General Xuanyuan came to Nalan Mansion with a yellow cloth with bruises on her neck, and asked the second master to accept her as an outer room. Then there was a little white flower's affectionate cry.

It turned out that the eldest lady took the second master to see General Xuanyuan that day, and the second master was a little sleepy, so he went to Xuanyuan's house to take a walk in the garden where the outsiders rested, and I don't know when the yellow clothes ran into the outer garden.

The so-called first love is always unforgettable, and the reunion after a long absence, the two are overjoyed. This Huang Yilian has been in Xuanyuan Mansion for 7 or 8 years, and he has never seen his old man when he was young, so he forgot the rules when he was excited, and invited the second master to sit in his boudoir. So the lonely man and the widow were alone in the same room, and all the dry wood and fire, what should have happened and what should not have happened.

Xiao Baihua also regretted it afterwards, thinking that she had such a dirty thing with her brother-in-law, she felt ashamed of the Xuanyuan family, and decided to stay with the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life. But people are not as good as heaven, and she found out that she was pregnant. Xiao Baihua thought about it, but there was only one way to survive. It's a pity that the first time I was born, I was discovered by the maids, and I attempted suicide, so I spit out the truth under the pressure of General Xuanyuan.

The second lady inherited General Xuanyuan's temperament, which is quite hard-standing. As a newlywed, she listened to this filthy lawsuit with an indifferent expression, and slapped the second master hard. didn't cry and make a fuss, nor did he feel sad, he just gently stroked his stomach and threw his sleeves away.

If it weren't for the sharp eyes of Chun Nuan, who was serving behind the old lady at that time, and noticed that a long series of long marks of different shades and hideous surfaces were carved on the hardwood-inlaid luodian three-screen chair made by the second lady, she would definitely not feel the turbulent waves in the second lady's heart like others.

"Chun Nuan, serve her and drink medicine, the children and grandchildren of the Nalan family, I will take care of it."

The undoubted majestic voice suddenly woke up Chun Nuan, who was trapped in her memories, and she stepped forward.

"Woo" The sudden wind blew the tattered fragrant curtain to the hunting sound, and no one paid attention to the half-squinting round eyes of the baby in the blue-gray emerald swaddling clothes in the woman's hand and the ecstasy and fierceness that flashed on her plain little face.

On March 11, the fifty-fourth year of the ink was poured into the moon, and the moon was full and slightly cool. Dongmei, who was only promoted to a third-class maid last afternoon, was bent down in the mass burial alley of the imperial capital, but she searched meticulously. It wasn't until the moon hung in the middle of the sky that she showed a relieved expression on her frowning face.

I saw that Dongmei hurriedly made a compilation of a thin figure wrapped in a mat but with an abnormally bulging chest, and lightly dragged out a red brocade swaddling cloth embroidered with dragon and phoenix from its chest, and flew away.

I don't know where a gentle breeze hits, blowing open the corner of the swaddling clothes, the moonlight dissolves, and a delicate cinnabar mole is like a baby chestnut flower that blooms very well, and the man is beautiful!
