Mingxin frowned and stared at Li Yi's back, his eyes gloomy and cold. Ever since the king of Linzi in the Eastern Tang Dynasty jumped off the cliff for the girl, she has been uneasy. At this time, seeing that this person actually entered and exited the girl's boudoir in a grand manner, she became more and more jealous.

Xu sent the rosary to rest, and when he walked past Mingxin's side, he suddenly turned to her and said, "Whatever the girl does, she has the girl's intentions." Even if we can't help the girl, we must not drag the girl back. Are you right, Mingxin? ”

Mingxin lowered his head, bit his lip and said, "Auntie, you're right!" But in the end, she was a little unwilling, and she said gloomily, "But auntie, can't you have your own ideas as a slave?" Slaves and maids are not individuals? Do you want to act like a marionette and follow the instructions of your master? ”

Mingyue and Mingxin were both watched by the Xu family and grew up with Zong Zhengke. Seeing that Mingxin and Zong Zhengke were gradually separated, she couldn't bear it. Originally, she planned to persuade a few words, but she didn't expect Mingxin to say such a thing.

Xu Shi stood still, looked at Mingxin, who looked dark, and said half-loudly: "I forgot, you are not the same person as me." I am the son of the Xiao family, and all I learned from elementary school was how to serve my master faithfully. And you ......"

She sighed softly and said with pity, "You were also once the masters of the people. ”

took Mingxin's hand and took her to the table to sit down, Xu Shi said gently: "Let's make friends and say a few words that dig out our hearts." ”

Mingxin looked at Xu gratefully, and said, "Auntie, I know that some of my thoughts can't stand the girl. But my aunt," she choked up, with tears welling up in her eyes, "I am also bitter in my heart." ”

"I know, I know." Xu gently rubbed Mingxin's delicate hands, and said softly, "I also came here when I was young, why don't you know?" Especially you, who were originally the close slaves of the Supreme Being. It is your duty to be loyal to His Holiness. ”

"But now. I'm not human anymore. Mingxin wept and said, "I don't want to make the girl angry, but where is the Venerable...... After all, he is also my master. ”

Xu sighed and said, "I also know that although there are only two of you in your family. But it is also the family background of calling slaves and maids. It is not easy for you to lower your body and be willing to serve the girl for so long. ”

She observed Mingxin's expression and slowly persuaded: "But there is a saying that as the saying goes, be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day." Since I'm still on an errand. It is necessary to start well and finish well to be worthy of this master-servant fate. You grew up with a girl, you know her temperament, she also knows your temperament, don't let each other down! ”

Mingxin smiled lonely: "Auntie, can't you see that the girl refuses to believe me anymore." ”

"That's also because you did something that made her not believe you first!" Xu Shi said gently, "Mingxin, whether it is a girl or a supreme person of the general trend, there is no room for slaves and maids who are vainly assertive. Why don't you want to think about it, you are thinking about the master. Do the masters think the same way? ”

Mingxin nodded thoughtfully, but looked directly at Xu and asked: "Auntie, you just said not to let each other down, you treat the girl can be described as digging out your heart and lungs, but the girl is ......."

Seeing that Xu's face did not change, she paused before continuing: "Girl, she doesn't seem to be very thoughtful about you. I've heard that your parents and family, though left in the yard, are doing all sorts of things silently, and they don't have any dignity. The monthly salary is also unsatisfactory. ”

Xu laughed, shook his head and said, "Mingxin, Mingxin, what are you doing with these words?" I have eyes and ears, and I can hear and see myself. You know. If it weren't for the girl's intention to keep my family, how would they have been able to avoid the ups and downs of these two months? The girl knows my heart very well, I don't want my family to be honored and rich, I only wish them peace and well-being. The girl has granted my wish, and I am very grateful. ”

Stay away from vanity fair and power whirlpool, and stay away from crisis. This is both the meaning of Xu. It is also the meaning of Xu's mother-in-law, Mama Ge. Now that Xu has left with Zong Zhengke, her family is still living in Changchun Courtyard. But now there are only a dozen people left in Changchun Courtyard, and the Xu family's family accounts for nearly half, so they don't have the final say in the courtyard?

Mingxin said again: "Auntie also needs to watch more wooden fish, I see that this girl is not very honest, and she is always busy with Fourth Young Master Pei." ”

This is true, but it is also true that Mingxin and the wooden fish rosary are not in harmony. Xu sighed secretly, feeling bored, so he got up and went back to his room to rest. Mingxin sat in the room in a daze, full of sorrow.

However, it was said that Zong Zhengke brought Mingyue and Muyu, carried a box of snacks, and went to the accommodation of the Pei family's uncle and nephew with the myrrh that came to invite people. Mingyue and Muyu are both lively personalities, similar to myrrh age, and have long been acquainted, seeing that the girl does not object, they talk with myrrh while walking.

Muyu asked Pei Junshao's body, and Mingyue asked Pei Yuncheng what good things he had found.

It turned out that Pei Si's little uncle, after arriving in Yunhang Mansion, was like a fish returning to the sea, playing outside all day long, and rarely returning to Shouchun Garden. However, Pei Yuncheng was still measured, and he didn't make any trouble, but collected a lot of strange and exquisite gadgets, and planned to give them to his family when he went back.

Someone from the Pei family has already sent a letter, and this time, the eldest princess of Qinghe and Pei Juma will lead the family to Tianxingjing to congratulate the Empress Dowager Jade on her birthday.

First, to show respect, and secondly, the eldest princess of Qinghe has not been in Beijing for many years, and she also misses the old sisters a little. But the most important reason is that the shape of Uogawa County is very unoptimistic now, and the more brutal Prince Uogawa kills the homeless, the more homeless people there are.

This year has been a truly catastrophic year for the people of Uogawa County, especially Uogan Prefecture. Then there was a great flood, then a great plague, and then a great drought.

The harvest in the fields is very poor, and the people have no food and clothing, so it is inevitable that they will be deceived and join the army of displaced people.

And from this point of view, it is still so cold in autumn, maybe it will usher in a harsh winter. When the time comes, the shape will become more and more severe.

Not only the eldest princess of Qinghe, but also many relatives of the clan whose fiefdom was in Yuchuan County took the opportunity to congratulate the Empress Dowager Jade on her birthday and left Yuchuan County and entered Beijing. Many of the ordinary rich and powerful people moved from their original places of residence to the heavily guarded Uogawa Mansion, and the only people who remained in their original homes were those loyal and good people who still believed that the government would not sit idly by.

The clear situation of Uokawa County is all told by Zongzheng to sù Zongzhengke. The old man was quite worried, but he had no choice but to go to other places as an official, even if he wanted to do something for his hometown fathers, he was also powerless. The old and young in his house are now all in Beijing, and he can finally rest assured that he can live with the help of the big house and the second room. (To be continued.) )
