Chapter 38: Freemasonry
Jin Wen knew that after Yu Zhixian came back, he didn't dare to leave the hospital for half a step.
Fortunately, the room she lives in is remote enough to be uninhabited, and even the garden cleaners don't come much.
This guest room opens the window, you can see a corner of the garden, this should be a corner of the garden of the inner courtyard of the county government, there are few people, the people are not carefully cared for, the plantain under the window is more than half a person high, there is a path leading to the depths of the garden, the corner of the house, a few bushes of bamboo grow lush and messy, the bamboo forest near their own window, placed a few rocks.
Jinwen had dinner in the evening, it was a little dark, and there was no needlework to do here, and she didn't want to go out and wander around, in case she ran into someone she shouldn't meet, she would ask for trouble, so she had to sit in the house in a daze, and suddenly vaguely heard a suppressed low whimper cry coming from the window of the house.
She couldn't help but go to the window and look around, and saw a man dressed as a maid, sitting on a rock by the bamboo forest, crying softly.
"Why are you crying?" Jin Wen asked in the window.
"Huh?" The maid didn't expect someone, so she screamed in a low voice, and then remembered that this guest room was not empty now, and she quickly wiped her tears, combed her sideburns a few times, and stood up to leave.
"This sister, why are you crying?" Jin Wen walked out of the door and walked around to her, only to see that this maid was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gorgeous face, especially a pair of red phoenix eyes, with the tail of the eyes raised, with an indescribable charm, slightly thin lips, and a green dress, I felt that she should be a big girl who could speak.
"You're too much to protect yourself, what's the use of telling you." The maid saw that it was her, and whispered.
As soon as Jin Wen heard her voice, he knew that this maid knew who she was, and she didn't get angry when she heard her words, "I have no power and no power, I have fallen into this situation, look at your crying pitifully, if I can help you a thing or two, I will help, if I can't help you, see you so sad, tell me, my heart can be better." Jin Wen said slowly, "Besides, one person is short, and two are long, maybe I can help you." ”
"It's useless, no one can help me now, just like no one can help you." This maid is Chun Tao, she saw that Jinwen was still so calm, thinking of Mrs. Yu's plan, she only felt that she was as pitiful as herself, but unfortunately she didn't know that if she couldn't be selected as a show girl, she would be sent to Mrs. Liu's mansion, and she would only be a plaything for people in the future. ”
Jin Wen saw her like this, and when he heard her words again, his heart moved, and he said softly: "This sister, you are like this now, it's not good to go out and be seen, I heard that many masters don't like to see people crying, why don't you go to my room and get a haircut." ”
Chun Tao touched her sideburns, said thank you, and followed Jin Wen back to the room.
Came to Jinwen's room, Jinwen opened the dresser on the table, set up the mirror, Chun Tao did not shirk, sat at the table and carefully combed her hair, Jinwen saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and took a handkerchief dipped in cold water and asked her to compress her eyes.
Chun Tao looked at her bright and gentle smile, and sighed for a while, "Thank you, Miss Han." ”
"What do you call my sister? You look familiar. Jin Wen asked softly.
"I am the maid next to Madame, and that night, the day you burned your hand, I came with me to serve."
"Yes, I remembered, no wonder it is familiar, my sister is so blessed, following Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Yu is a rare good person." Jin Wen said softly, "My sister knows my situation, right?" Seeing that she nodded, she continued: "I definitely don't want to be a concubine, but fortunately, Madame took pity and showed me the way." It's a blessing that a person as good as Madame can follow my sister! ”
"Blessings? Alas...... Miss Han, you are still young, you don't know this person's heart, no matter what Mrs. said to you, you must have your own ideas. ”
"What did my sister say about this? By the way, why did you cry just now? Jin Wen asked again with concern.
Chun Tao sold herself here as a slave, the beautiful maids in this house were either sold, or they were taken into the house and died in vain after a few years, the maids without grace came and went, but she had nothing to talk about in the house, now seeing that Jinwen was so concerned, she opened the conversation again, thinking of Mrs. Yu's arrangement for herself, she couldn't help but cry again: "You don't know, Madame wants the master to take me in," she saw Jinwen, and felt that she might not understand at a young age, and said again: "It's to be a person in the master's room." ”
"Is that auntie? I've heard about it. When Jin Wen heard it, he naturally knew what it was, the big family warmed the bed, and she was either promoted to an aunt, or she was later sold by the main family, when her mother chatted with other people, she also secretly heard it, in order not to disturb Chun Tao's conversation, she deliberately pretended to be stupid, "I heard that the aunt of a rich family is very majestic, I am because of ...... I have someone I like...... So don't agree. Jin Wen said shyly.
"Which is an aunt, or a maid, you don't know, the bed-warming maid in the master's room, none of them ended well in the end, either died, or was sold to Goolan Courtyard, madam, she can't tolerate it, but she gave birth to four daughters in a row, and she hasn't given birth to a sister-in-law so far, and she can't control the master...... So...... As long as the master doesn't like it, she will sell these maids to that kind of dirty place to vent her anger. Chun Tao said a few words, and choked up again.
"Have you begged Madame, then? Don't say yes. ”
"As a slave, life and death are not up to me, not to mention this kind of thing, I can only blame myself for my miserable life, maybe I can't live for two years...... He...... I had to blame myself for my hard life...... Woohoo......"
"Does my sister have someone you like?"
"Huh? How do you ......"
Jin Wen didn't actually know, but at Chun Tao's age, he was crying so sadly and vaguely just now, and he tried to say a word, but he didn't expect to bump into it.
"If my sister doesn't have someone she likes, how can there be what I just said, this kind of thing wants me to say, as long as you have the heart, there is still a way, my sister is not like me, I have no way out, my sister still has a way out."
"Is there any way out?" When Chun Tao heard this, she asked in surprise.
"The way to find a way is naturally to watch people put on the dishes. My sister doesn't know, in our country, I'm also naughty, playing this and that all day long, and I've been beaten a lot. If my sister believes me, why don't you tell me about Yu Zhixian and Mrs. Yu's personality carefully, maybe I can help you figure out a way. ”
