Chapter 1 Confession

Next Chapter

Wisteria opened his eyes very reluctantly, it was still the gray roof, because it was a side of the courtyard, the roof was a slope down, next to the door, the more you walked in, the shorter it became, and when it came to Wisteria's bed, standing next to the bed, her head was on the beam. Wisteria is actually very familiar with this pattern of houses, similar to the kind of sundries in her grandmother's house in the northeastern countryside where she lived in the past. Damp, dark, and poorly ventilated......

Wisteria looked at the small strip of cloth that had turned black and red hanging from the rafters on the roof, and when he was thinking about when it would fall, various voices came from his side one after another, yawning and complaining that he got up so early, couldn't find clothes and blamed others for pressing under him, and muttered and dragged his shoes back and forth......

Wisteria turned her face to look at the wall inside the bed, picked up a small branch next to the pillow, and wrote 72 heavily on the wall. Then he stretched out and slapped his face a few times with his hand. Well, it's been 72 days since I just celebrated the first month of paycheck and drank a few more drinks, and I woke up to this place. Like all the Crossing Girl's initial reactions, she was surprised, incredulous, and expecting that it was just a dream, until after a full month in bed, she resigned herself to her fate.

"Who's going to pour the night bucket today, Ma Li" The girl sleeping at the door looked like she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was buttoning the buckle of a dark green cloth shirt. Wisteria sat up resignedly, smiling at the girl and raising her hand.

The girl has a long face, small eyes, and slender eyebrows, and when she saw Wisteria sitting up and raising her hands, she squinted at her, and every time she felt that she looked at people like this, she was a bit like a character in the old version of "Dream of Red Mansions", but she was used to watching books and TV at that time, and she didn't remember who it was after thinking about it several times. The girl is the steward of this house, the third-class maid in the yard, the girl who is in charge of the yard scrubbing, sprinkling and sweeping, running errands and other heavy work in this house, plus wisteria, a total of 8 people, named Qiu Xiang. Qiuxiang Laozi and his mother are both from Zhuangzi, holding the old lady and the second lady to come to live temporarily in the summer, and walked the door of the big girl next to the second lady, and directly entered the third class. Because he had been growing up in the countryside, he had not learned all the rules and could not wait close to him, so he received such an errand.

Qiu Xiang put her head neatly in her bun, and said in her mouth: "Hurry up, the carriage of the prince, the eldest grandmother and the little young master will arrive in the past few days, and everyone is alert." In other words, this is the first time that the grandmother has come to our Liuhe Zhuangzi after entering the door. Don't blame me for not reminding you, whether you can go back to the capital with the master's family depends on your table this month. ”

He bent down and put on his shoes, slapped his clothes again, turned to Wisteria and said, "You don't have to go back to the yard after emptying the night bucket in a while, go directly to the garden in the back, and watch and help weed." After speaking, he didn't wait for Wisteria to reply, and walked out with a flick of the door curtain.

Yes, he was sent to do some of the most boring and time-intensive chores. Wisteria always felt that this Akika had a natural hostility towards herself. Since she can work in the field, she will always find a reason to pour herself for a few days in a row.

Seeing Qiu Xiang walk out, the speed of the rest of the people increased. Everyone knows in their hearts, these few who didn't wait were temporarily added when the main family decided to come to Liuhe Zhuangzi, a total of eight people, four families had children, three were bought outside, and only one wisteria was picked up. Needless to say, there is no need to say that a Zhuangzi lives in a village, and they all climb to take their deceased with them, even if they buy it outside, they also live in a person's house for a few days, and they are familiar with each other. It's not like wisteria, not only did it pick it up, but it also lay in bed for more than a month, until the owner's family moved in. For this group of teenage girls, it is best to form a gang, and naturally Wisteria is isolated. Wisteria doesn't care, although she is 13 years old this year, but if you count the age before she passed through, she was 37 years old, who is impatient to make a group of little girls happy.

Wisteria quickly put on it, took out a mask modified from a sweat towel from under the pillow to cover his mouth and nose, and walked out with the night bucket behind the door. Pushing open the door, I took a deep breath as I looked at the starry sky. Yes, looking at today, it is estimated that it is another sunny day, and when I think about pulling grass under such a big sun for another day, Wisteria feels speechless. The voices of a few people came from the unclosed room in the back:

"There are a lot of things to do to count her, and it is important to pour a night bucket"

"It's time for her to pull the weeds and see if she can get a tan"

"No, I still see that the belly pocket she wears is different from ours, so ...... here"

"Oh, I didn't see it, what kind of pull it is, how to wear it"

Then there was a burst of laughter, and Wisteria laughed self-deprecatingly, and carried the night bucket down the passage in the corner of the wall to the backyard garden.

Although it was not dawn, a few rough mothers-in-law in the garden were busy, and Wisteria emptied the night bucket, washed the bucket in a well in the garden, and cleaned himself up. As he walked back, he was confronted by a woman wearing a dark blue silk blouse and a long khaki linen skirt underneath. He looks like he is in his thirties, with a round face, his hair is all tucked behind his head, he has no hair oil, he feels a little frizzy, and he wears a pair of small silver cloves on his ears. Holding a big flower pot in her hand, it seemed to be a little heavy, and with her slightly chubby body, it looked a little difficult.

Wisteria put aside the night bucket in his hand, greeted him in small steps, and said while stretching out his hand, "What are you doing here, Mother Yu?" ”

The mother-in-law, who was called Yu's mother, did not move all the weight of the flower pot to Wisteria, but moved it to the side, and the two carried it together. He poured out a hand and wiped the sweat from his head, and said:

"Wisteria, why are you pouring the night bucket again, didn't you pour it yesterday?"

Wisteria smiled and moved the weight of the pot to his side. Yu's mother sighed softly. "Don't be blindly good-natured, this group of girls is used to bullying people, didn't you say that the prince and the eldest young grandmother will arrive in a few days, the eldest young grandmother is the eldest daughter of today's household Shangshu. Although I came to pick up the old lady and the second lady to go back, I would have to live for another month, if I got the eyes of the big girl below her during this time, maybe I could go to Beijing, and leave these things about your brother and sister-in-law, then you are Amitofu. ”

Wisteria still didn't answer, but asked again, "What is Mother Yu doing, and where is this flower moving?" ”

Yu's mother saw that she didn't answer, she could only sigh secretly, and after she picked her up from the river, she didn't speak, at first she thought it was dumb, until she was almost raised for more than a month, and came to kowtow to her, only to know that she was also a bitter child. Thinking about the vicious face of her brother and sister-in-law when they saw that she was still alive, and the flattering appearance when they heard that the Xie family was going to buy her as a rough girl, it was really disgusting. If it weren't for the fact that this child was well-behaved and looked very much like her daughter who didn't survive, Yu's mother wouldn't have reached out this hand. Now it seems that he was right at that time.

While thinking about it, I went to see the girl next to me. More than two months of raising, although there is no delicacies of the mountains and seas, but also food and clothing do not worry, the Zhongguo Mansion is famous for treating people well, the old lady Lin is also a fasting Buddha, even if they are far away from the capital of the Zhuangzi people, they are never bad, four o'clock clothes, the start of the New Year's festival has never been broken. The little girl who was like bean sprouts and had a yellow face was raised as a bit of meat, and she had a lot of skewers.

At this time, although he was dressed in a blue and gray coarse cloth shirt with linen trousers, two braids were buttoned into two buns, and two light blue ribbons were tied on them. With a pointed chin and a slightly blood-colored mouth, a pair of large eyes are particularly eye-catching. The two small pear nests at the corners of the mouth are even more flattering when they smile. Take care of it, and she will be a little beauty in the future.

The most important thing is that the child knows gratitude, and after his body recovers, he knows that his mother saved him, so he came over to help with the work twice in three days. In fact, when the main family is not in the Zhuangzi, Yu's mother has no work, but only manages the flowers and trees in the garden and a vegetable garden. More often than not, this child came, and someone talked to him and relieved his boredom. Yu's mother loves to hear her tell some novel stories, one by one, and even the storyteller can't compare.

Since the old lady took the second lady to the Zhuangzi, Yu's mother has been busy, the old lady likes some farm things, and sometimes after reciting Buddhist scriptures, she will go to the garden to see, and pick some small vegetables or something. In this way, Yu's mother is more concerned about this garden, wisteria does not live much in the yard, and those who show their faces have been robbed to do it, because Yu's mother is the aunt of the powerful girl Huan Zirui next to the second lady, and Zirui at that time still called her own real name, Yu's mother and daughter did not grow up and got sick, Zirui's mother went early, and her father followed up with a son and daughter, and she did not have to beat or scold, but she was not pleasing to the eye, and deliberately made it difficult. Yu's mother couldn't stand it, and lived in a yard, so she took Zirui as her own girl, and maintained it everywhere, and when Zirui's stepmother wanted her to go to her own nephew as a child daughter-in-law, she said that she moved her uncle and sent Zirui to the village to be a rough girl.

It was also Zirui who was angry, that year just in time for the Duchess of Zhongguo Tan to take the eldest lady and the second lady to Zhuangzi to relax, and Zirui, who was 5 years older than the second lady, found the second miss who was lost in the garden, the second miss was frightened, hugged Zirui's neck and did not let go, so she was transferred to the second lady to wait, and she won the blue eyes of the Duchess of the country with her duty, ability, and few words, and she did it step by step.

Wisteria was embarrassed by Yu's mother, turned her face and asked again, "Who is this for?" ”

Yu's mother pulled back her thoughts, "Send it to the second lady, Zirui said that the second miss likes these flowers and plants for a while, and she doesn't want to plant them in the garden, but prefers some wild ones." I sent the eldest son of the Ma Wu family to the mountain to move this golden lotus, looking at the golden one, it was really festive. ”

Wisteria looked at the golden flowers in the pink and white flower pots, with the tender leaves, and the dew that had not dispersed all morning, and sighed in his heart: Why can everyone be a young lady after crossing well, even if it is not a concubine, it is okay to be a concubine, at least you don't have to work every day to be looked down upon. But she was dressed as a 13-year-old girl, and she could only pretend to be stupid, for fear of accidentally revealing her stuffing and making people a monster. God, what do you mean by bringing me here, ah, ......
