Chapter Seventy-Three: The Extreme of Depression
After Shangguan Yan left, Linglong sat alone in the teahouse and was stunned, she never expected that her family affairs would be twists and turns, and in the end they would be like this.
After they are all engaged, they have to pretend in front of Liang Chenjing, so that I will do everything possible to make him not marry.
Damn, if it weren't for the unlucky thing in Jiangzhou, why would I be so aggrieved? But then again, if it weren't for those things in Jiangzhou, I probably wouldn't have come to the capital, and I knew that it would be better to find a hard-working farmer.
After about half an hour, Gui Ying hurriedly came back, "Miss, I've kept you waiting." ”
Linglong turned around and saw that she had changed her clothes and was still carrying a burden in her hand, Gui Ying saw Linglong staring at her burden, and smiled embarrassedly: "Miss forgive me, the slave maid went home, so it was delayed for some time." ”
"It's okay!" Linglong stared at her for a moment: "Gui Ying, you can't even go home when you come to me, I've wronged you!" ”
"Miss, don't say that, in fact, I'm freer by Miss's side than when I was in the house before, when I'm in the house, the slave and maid often can't go home for a few months, but fortunately, my father and mother can come to see the slave and maid reads;."
"Oh? Why? Isn't your house over there in Liangfu? ”
"That's what I say, but we are the personal servants of the eldest prince, the eldest prince is often very busy, and he can't tell when he will come back, sometimes in the middle of the afternoon, sometimes in the middle of the night, no matter when we have to boil hot water, prepare clothes and wait, so that there is less time to go home."
"Really? Your eldest son is so difficult to serve? ”
"It's not, the eldest prince is very good, and he never embarrasses us."
"Really?" Linglong's eyes rolled, and he thought of gossiping:
"Hey, Gui Ying. The eldest prince is eighteen this year, right? Does he have that ......?"
"Huh? What the? ”
"That's it...... That's the ......."
"Miss, don't you understand?"
Linglong stomped his feet: "Oh, didn't you say that the son of a big family will be ready to open meat as soon as he is over fifteen?" ”
Gui Ying's face suddenly flushed: "This ...... This...... Miss, why are you asking this all of a sudden? ”
"Oh, there's no outsider, let's say, is there any?"
"This ...... Woo...... I...... I do not know. ”
Look at the way she blushes and snorts. Linglong's gossip in his heart was even worse: "Yes, right? Who is it? Isn't it you? ”
Gui Ying jumped away suddenly: "It's not." Miss, don't talk nonsense! ”
"Who's that? It can't be Miss Miao! ”
Gui Ying was shocked, jumped up and ran to the door to look at it for a moment, and then snapped the door shut: "Miss." This matter must not be talked about, how can everyone's ladies be compared with our ordinary maids? They can't have until they're out of the cabinet... That's. ”
Linglong smiled: "I know, is Brother Liang's maid still in his room?" ”
"Uh......h I... I don't know. ”
"I don't know if it's in? How, what does it look like? Why didn't Mrs. Liang help him collect the house? ”
"Miss. Miss Miao hasn't passed the door yet, so she can't accept the girl. ”
"Huh? Don't you even have a name for a game with him? ”
"Uh......h Miss. Let's not say that this will work, right? ”
Gui Ying blushed and stomped her feet, she didn't understand, Miss Linglong is a dignified lady, why does she like to ask about this kind of thing so much before she is married? Speaking of it, his face is not red and his heart is not beating. Is...... Shame on you!
Linglong smiled, I really want to see Liang Chenyu's first love, no. What does it look like to be a first-time subject? I don't know what Miao Dandan will do if he knows about it? Hee-hee~~~~
Wait, Liang Chenjing won't have it too, right? Linglong couldn't laugh anymore. Although I didn't plan to live with him for the rest of my life, I would be too sorry to think that this guy was on someone else, and even if his body was not clean;
"Gui Ying, to be honest, does Liang Chenjing have any?"
Gui Ying was stunned for a moment, and then made a bitter face: "Miss, don't you ask if this is okay?" What a shame! ”
"What's not to be ashamed of, it's normal for men and women to be happy with each other!"
Gui Ying's mind was clouded: "Miss, the slave maid remembered that there was something else to do, and I wanted to go down!" ”
"Stop! Gui Ying, you are not allowed to leave unless you make it clear today. ”
Gui Ying was so entangled that she had to tell the truth: "The second son is wandering outside all the year round, and I don't know if there are slaves and maids outside...... That ......"
Linglong suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, she suddenly remembered the attack in the dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu was fourteen years old, how many of these noble sons have never been to the brothel of the Qinglou? For example, that sissy Shangguan Yan, I'm afraid that his kind of person will understand when he is born, right?
Linglong was a little depressed, let go of Gui Ying, and went downstairs with a black face.
Gui Ying was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after her, this young lady is so strange, she wants to play a play, why did she suddenly remember to ask about this today? In fact, you don't need to ask about this kind of thing, you know it, every house has it, otherwise how can the bride and groom be on the night of the cave room...... Thinking of this, Gui Ying blushed again.
I came out today to distract myself, but when I came out, I met Shangguan Yan's bastard, and I heard such a depressing thing, so I gossiped on a whim, and as a result, I was depressed again.
Oh my God, are there any good men in this world? I'm only a teenager, and I don't do anything unclean, despised!
Linglong huffed and went in the direction of Su Mansion, Gui Ying knew that she was in a bad mood, so she could only bow her head and follow silently.
Everyone still entered the house through the corner gate on the side of the Su Mansion, but as soon as they entered the alley where the corner gate was located, they saw a large group of people surrounded by the corner gate at the bottom of the alley, and there were women's cries.
What's going on? Hasn't this alley always been very remote? Why did so many people come all of a sudden? What do you do crying? Dead people can't make it?
Linglong walked to the bottom of the alley, stood behind a group of people, and saw two people lying in the middle of the crowd, wearing maid clothes, with white cloth on their faces, and several women pounced on them and wept bitterly.
"O my daughter! You're only fourteen, how can you say it's gone? O my poor daughter! ”
Linglong saw an old lady next to her, leaned over and whispered, "Mother-in-law, what's the matter?" ”
The old lady glanced at Linglong, shook her head and sighed: "Alas, I can't tell you clearly, it's better to take care of the affairs of big families." ”
Everyone else around seemed to have this attitude, but they didn't say much, and no one went to help the two women.
Linglong gave Gui Ying a look and asked her to come over to help and inquire by the way.
Gui Ying nodded, squeezed into the crowd, and squatted beside one of the women: "Auntie, what's going on?" Who is this? ”
The woman cried dizzily: "This is my daughter Cuiliu, I was only selected to serve by the eldest lady of the Su family three years ago, obviously well, but today someone from the Su Mansion suddenly came to let us identify the body, my poor daughter, why is it gone?" ”
The woman repeated this sentence over and over again, Gui Ying glanced back at Linglong, reached out and lifted the white cloth on the deceased's face, revealing a miserable green and deformed face, and the people around were so frightened that they gasped and took a few steps back.
"Go away, go away! What's the noise?
Hey, you! It's you! Don't be ignorant of what to do, this girl made a mistake in the house and stole my eldest lady's headdress worth two hundred taels, and the young lady scolded her twice, and she couldn't get angry and went to the well.
She has a temper! It stands to reason that these two girls signed a death deed and were thrown directly to the mass grave.
For the sake of their service, the eldest lady has given you extra kindness to come and collect the corpse. Don't be ignorant, quickly carry the body back and bury it, and if you dare to make trouble, report it to the official immediately, and arrest you all.
Here! This is the eldest lady's reward for you, ten taels of funeral expenses per person, take it and leave quickly, don't howl here, disturb the master and drag it directly to the mass grave! ”
The middle-aged man threw down two cloth bags and spitted two mouthfuls of disdain before swaggering into the door.
The people around him were angry, but no one dared to come forward and say a word.
The corner door snapped shut, and an old lady went up to persuade the onlookers: "Forget it, don't cry, no one is gone, it's useless to cry, take the silver and carry it back for burial!" The dead are great! Here, boy, you guys come and help, everybody! Help carry the child back. ”
Linglong stepped aside, watching everyone slowly leave with the two maids in their hands, and their crying relatives were almost carried away by others.
"Miss, look, there's still dripping water down there! He should have died by throwing himself into a well. ”
Linglong panicked for a while: "Gui Ying, are they all Su Lingxuan's maids?" ”
"Listen to them, right?"
Linglong secretly clenched her fists, but she didn't expect that the slap in the morning didn't wake her up, but made her even more evil, and she really regretted the slap, which directly made her crazy.
Gui Ying saw Linglong's expression of self-blame, she was also very uncomfortable in her heart, she was also a maid, although she believed that she could not fall into that fate, but she inevitably had a kind of pity for the rabbit and the dead dog.
"Miss, I don't blame you for this, Su Lingxuan made a sin, she will have to change it sooner or later."
"I'm afraid that she will kill again before she returns. Gui Ying, do you think I'm cruel to her? ”
"This ...... Miss, there are many inconveniences for you to live here, so it's better not to confront her. If you really can't think about it, wait until you marry your second son...... Teach her a lesson. ”
Linglong took a deep breath, she clenched her fists and relaxed, then clenched and relaxed, in order to suppress the anger in her heart, if Su Lingxuan was standing in front of her now, she was sure that she would not hesitate to slap her a few times.
Yes, patience! Be patient!
Linglong asked Gui Ying to knock on the door, and the door was opened by the middle-aged man who was ashamed to throw the silver ingot, he saw Linglong pause, and then looked quite disdainful: "Miss Linglong, although you are a guest, guests also have guest rules......
"Bang bang bang!" Linglong shook his hand and gave him four big mouths in a row, slapping the middle-aged man so that his eyes straightened.
The middle-aged man's cheeks quickly swollen: "You ......"
"What about me? Even grandpa said that going back here is going home, which door am I a guest of, and which door are you the master? When will it be your turn to teach Miss Ben? (To be continued)
