"I heard the person at the end of the big house say that the second girl of our family followed the eldest lady to the birthday banquet of Suning Hou"

"Isn't it? I heard that there was also a county royal clan at the birthday banquet, oops, I don't know how beautiful it is. ”

"I've heard people say before that the lord gave up the second girl to stay in Kyoto, but now it's hard to say, maybe he wants the girl to stay in Kyoto and climb the high branches."

Chaeyoung stood on the cloister with a basin of water and coughed heavily, and the grandmothers talking in the cloister reluctantly rolled their eyes at her and walked away. Caiying's heart was sour, for the sake of the girl's friendship with Aunt Mei, these grandmothers flattered her on weekdays, but when Aunt Mei was rejected by the old lady and the girl fell seriously ill again, the people in their yard began to become difficult, and now they even have to go to a farther place to get hot water.

Holding back her tears, Caiying entered Meng Ruoyi's door, and the strong smell of medicine almost made her vomit.

"Girl, let's wipe yourself." Caiying walked over cautiously, she was originally a second-class girl, because all the big girls around the girl who fell into the water were replaced, she was brought up to serve the big girl.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" The person on the bed moved and coughed violently.

Caiying hurriedly put the basin on the table and trotted over to feed Meng Ruoyi.

"Why did you come back so late?" Meng Ruoyu has been lingering on the sickbed for several days, and her original delicate appearance is like a winter flower withering and decaying, and her palm-sized face is yellow and thin, but the anger between her eyebrows is getting stronger and stronger.

Caiying subconsciously shrank back and said: "The stove in our yard was borrowed by Mama Liu from the Erjiao Gate a while ago, and now it hasn't been returned, so the slave can only go to the big kitchen to ask for water, but the kitchen is busy, and there is a queue for water......"

"It's just Mrs. Liu who is watching the corner door, cough cough cough...... Go and get the stove back! What about Mama Tao? Meng Ruoyi was so angry that she wanted to reach out and slap Caiying, but she really didn't have the strength, so she could only lean on the soft pillow and gasp.

Caiying trembled and knelt beside the bed, and whispered: "Mama is cooking for the girl, the food in the big kitchen is too meaty, and the girl is not good for her body to use it." ”

"Then let the big kitchen make it for me! Mama Tao is my grandmother, why let her do it! Meng Ruoyi felt dizzy after shouting.

Cai Ying didn't dare to speak, it is common to step on low and praise high in this backyard, no matter who it is.

Meng Ruoyu actually knew best, so she quickly calmed down and asked, "How is my good sister doing?" How did she feel when she learned that her father was not going to take her away? ”

Caiying didn't dare to hide it, thinking about the news she heard recently, she told Meng Ruoyu almost word for word.

The more Meng Ruoyi listened, the more she felt that her heart was blocked, and she grabbed the quilt tightly, eager to tear it all to pieces. Obviously it shouldn't be like this, obviously it should be that stinky girl who fell into the ice hole, and then either died or wasted, then she is the only concubine, she is the Meng girl who should accompany the eldest lady to various banquets!

"What about Meng Guizhi?"

Caiying knelt down and replied, "I've been packing up my things lately, and I haven't heard that the four girls are coming out." ”

"Four girls?" Meng Ruoyi paused.

"It was the lord who said that the girls in the family should follow the order of the big house, and the people in the family came according to the name of the big house."

Meng Ruoyao hooked the corners of her mouth far-fetchedly, and said sarcastically: "Isn't it? The big house is now Ding'anbo Mansion, if we follow the preface, we will all be girls from Ding'anbo Mansion outside. ”

Caiying secretly raised her head, and saw her girl haggard nested in the quilt, looking so fragile and aggrieved, this is still a twelve-year-old child after all.

As soon as her heart softened, Caiying couldn't help but care cautiously: "Since the girl and the third girl are from the same mother, why can't they support each other?" The eldest prince and the four girls are all from Aunt Mei, and they ......"

"! You know what! Although Meng Ruoyi was weak, she still grabbed a jade pendant next to the pillow and threw it over, smashing it in front of Caiying.

Chaeyoung trembled with fright, shrunk aside with a scream, and kept kowtowing to apologize.

Meng Ruoyu didn't stop when she saw her kowtowing, just raised her chin, looked at the ceiling of the tent and said with blank eyes: "What sisters, what mutual support, my mother is useless, if I and Acacia support each other, then the only dowry she has left, won't I want to share it equally with Acacia in the future?" Why? She's not my brother! She is not supposed to come to this world, she is not expected by her mother and father, let alone me, when my mother was pregnant, I was full of hope to give birth to a younger brother, so that I can compete with Meng Gaopeng for family property in the future and become my backing! It turned out to be a money-losing product.

Now my mother is out of favor, and I can't give birth to a younger brother, I'm getting older and older year by year, and I should get married when I get married, but marrying out is completely different from marrying well, if I can't plan for myself, who else can plan for me in the future, and now I am just a 'Yan' word, but there are too many girls in the Yan, and my father will not know how to choose. ”

Caiying kowtowed so much that her eyes were full of gold stars, but the more Meng Ruoyi said, the heavier she kowtowed, she really couldn't figure out her girl's thoughts, she had a younger brother and a sister in her family, everyone always took care of each other in order to live a good life, she even sold herself into the Meng Mansion for this, she never felt that the sibling sisters would be a burden, and even an enemy, is it not good for someone to pull it up in difficult times?

"Okay, get out, I don't want to see you these two days!" Meng Ruoyang originally wanted to drive Caiying out, but unfortunately the big girls around her before were sent away, and if Caiying was missing, there would be fewer people to serve.

Where did Caiying dare to persuade more, and immediately ran out with a roll.

"What sisters! I'm not unusual, but I'm just a debt collector who grabs my dowry for a good future. Meng Ruoyan heard the door closed, and sneered, in her opinion, as long as there is no lovesickness, and there is only one concubine in the family, then her father will put all his eyes on her, marry the Venerable Master from now on, get all the dowry of her mother, and will no longer be looked down upon by Aunt Mei's family.

"If you can't die, then it's useless." After Meng Ruoyan coughed a few times, he patted his chest and smiled weirdly: "Acacia, don't think that the matter of falling into the water is just that." ”

Recently, Ding Anbo began to go out early and return late again, even Meng Huoran often disappeared, Acacia accompanied Meng Xintong, who was embroidering the dowry, to be leisurely, but Meng Duanfang, who had always followed Meng Huoran in the past, once he had nowhere to go, he also relied on Meng Xintong's yard, and from time to time he found some trouble for Acacia.

Sometimes it's to say a few unpleasant words of stabbing Acacia, sometimes it's to do some bad accidents to mess up the silk thread of Acacia, which may be useful for a really ten-year-old girl, the two don't say that a big quarrel is also indispensable, but it's a pity that Meng Duanfang met Acacia, Acacia didn't say anything, just put Meng Duanfang's broken and messy things in front of Meng Xintong, Meng Duanfang's homework at night became heavier and heavier, and after a long time, Meng Duanfang scratched his ears and cheeks and looked at Acacia and didn't dare to think about ideas.

"I see that my aunt is not looking good recently? Feeling irritable? Acacia was wondering if he would make some soup porridge for He's body.

Meng Xintong was also aware of it, and inevitably said uneasily: "I haven't heard anything happened in the backyard recently. ”

At this time, Meng Duanfang couldn't hold it anymore, he straddled the chair triumphantly, bared a mouthful of big white teeth, and said, "I know what's going on, you beg me?" ”

Meng Xintong didn't even look at him, and Acacia even picked up the tricks and discussed it with Meng Xintong, not talking about this topic at all.

Meng Duanfang was anxious, looked at the two and shouted, "Don't you want to know? Why don't you ask me? ”

Acacia raised his head funny and said: "The second brother said something interesting, the second brother is so filial, if there is really anything, I'm afraid he would have sued us a long time ago, so either the second brother doesn't know that he is bluffing us, or the things that the eldest aunt is worried about are not so important, I'm afraid it will be fine after a while, and we know that we can't help, so what does it matter if we know and don't know?" ”

Meng Duanfang was blocked by her words, and his face was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't hold back a sentence after a long time in his mind: "Do you want to know?" ”

Meng Xintong didn't raise his head and said: "If you want to say it, just say it, otherwise no one will know if you stink and mold in your heart." ”

Meng Duanfang only felt that the sisters in the family were not as stupid and cute as the brothers talked about, which was clearly more than a monkey, he didn't say that he was a younger brother, even if he was an elder brother, he didn't have any sense of accomplishment.

"It's the vassal king who is going to Beijing to pay tribute, and some people who have been far away have been coming here since the end of last autumn, and they didn't arrive until the beginning of spring, and there are many relatives in the royal family, and my father was also pulled to help." Meng Duanfang said weakly lying on the back of the chair.

Acacia has heard in his previous life that there are a lot of royal clans, and the emperors of all dynasties have not been ruthless in killing them all, so that today's saints have to strictly manage the clans, and there is evidence of a slight difference, that is, the result of being degraded to the common people. I think that the vassal kings did not want to give the emperor this opportunity, so they paid tribute every year and never delayed.

Ding Anbo has always stood firmly behind the emperor, and there are not many people the emperor can trust at this time, so the eldest uncle naturally has to be busy on such a critical day, and the eldest uncle can't be relaxed.

"Don't you want to see the prince of Bao, who is said to be the jade face of the clan?" Meng Duanfang consciously had another topic, and his eyebrows were raised.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xintong said unceremoniously: "He is good-looking and can't be eaten, although this prince of Bao is the little uncle of the saint, he doesn't like to stay in the fiefdom on weekdays, and he likes to travel the mountains and rivers the most, and he doesn't know if he will come to pay tribute this time, not to mention that his daughter-in-law has passed away for three years, what is there to look good about a widower." ”

Meng Duanfang and Acacia were deeply shocked by the big sister's sharp and even some rebellious words.
