Ju Ying watched the two little maids serve the old lady Jin and put her to sleep, and then she came out of the hall, looked up at the night sky, and sighed.

The moonlight was not good tonight, dark clouds covered most of the moon, and the bleak moonlight came through the clouds and sprinkled in fragments in the pavilion.

It's not her duty today, but all these years, she has to serve the old lady to sleep, and then she will go back to her room to sleep.

The old lady did things neatly and neatly, and in just a few days, she set up a family affair for the second lady.

The male family name is Zhou, a native of Yuncheng, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, his father died early, his mother was widowed, and he raised his three sons by relying on a few acres of thin fields and a small workshop at home. The eldest son already had a reputation for showing talent, but he didn't want his mother to work hard, so he gave up the scientific examination, went home to take care of the family business, saved money, and let the younger brothers continue the imperial examination. Zhou Xiucai is famous for his filial piety in the township, but the big family dislikes his family's weak foundation, and it is difficult for the clan to take care of it, so he is reluctant to marry his daughter to suffer; He is also famous, and he doesn't look down on women from small families, so he comes and goes, and the marriage is delayed. Now he is twenty-five years old, and his aunt in the capital saw that he was difficult, so she asked a matchmaker to find a relative, but she didn't expect to hit it off with the Jin family.

Zhou Xiucai was far away in Yuncheng, his aunt made the decision for him, and he saw Jin Chang in the Sixi Teahouse, and heard that the Jin family was willing to pay a dowry of five hundred taels of silver, so he patted his chest and agreed to this family business.

Ju Ying was about to go back to his house, but he saw a figure under the flower wall. She frowned and asked in a low voice, "Who is sneaking around there?" “

As soon as she finished speaking, the man came out of the shadows, as if waiting for her.

A sheepskin lantern hung under the porch, illuminating the man's face white. Ju Ying recognized that this was Xiao Chuan next to the fourth wife.

Since Jin Chang's accident, Jiao's has been locked in the back room, the weather has become colder, she is not adapted to the climate of the capital, and has been sick for a few days. Meticulous

Seeing that it was her, Ju Ying knew in her heart, Xiao Chuan came over and gave Ju Ying a salute. said in a low voice: "Sister Juying, my wife heard that the old lady is proposing marriage to the second lady, so let me ask Sister Juying, what kind of family is that?" ”

As she spoke, she pulled out an object wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve. He shoved it into Juying's hand.

Ju Ying frowned, how could anyone dare to accept the fourth wife's things and let the old lady know, this is not clear.

She turned sideways to avoid it, and didn't pick up Xiao Chuan's things: "The old lady found a good family for the second lady, the man is famous, and the second lady married the wife of the long house, a talented lady." ”

Ju Ying is not wrong, no matter how thin the Zhou family is, it is a serious family. Zhou Xiucai is famous, if his two younger brothers can enter the office in the future, they can invite a memorial arch for the widowed mother. Jin Chang is the daughter-in-law of the long house, and she will also be respected.

Xiao Chuan saw that Juying refused to accept it, her face turned red, and she had the heart to thank her and leave, but after thinking about it, she couldn't give the fourth lady a deal after all, so she had to bite the bullet and said: "The fourth lady also knows that the old lady personally found the family affairs for the second lady, which must be the best." But I heard that the family was destitute. There is an old mother and a younger brother, and the fourth wife has no other meaning, that is, she is reluctant to marry the second lady to be a servant. Summoning like a rough maid. ”

Ju Ying smiled secretly in her heart, no wonder the old lady didn't look down on the fourth wife, she looked at people who were too smart on weekdays, but her mind was a mess. If your daughter can marry into the Zhou family, she will save a life.

She remembered what Mrs. Jin said again, let the second lady marry into the Dong family as an aunt. It's just that she is asked to die in another place, and then she can negotiate conditions with the Dong family because of this.

Thinking of this, she shuddered, and heard that Xiao Chuan was still begging her to blow the wind in the old lady's ear and let the second miss stay in the capital, she couldn't help but sneer: "Xiao Chuan, you have this kung fu to talk to me, it's better to persuade the fourth lady, let her not always think about blindly mixing, the second miss is married, and there are also six and eight misses, for the sake of the two young ladies, let's say a few words." ”

Half an hour later, Jiao's learned from Xiao Chuan's mouth about Ju Ying's words, and he was so angry that he scolded: "This little prodigal hoof, she is still in charge of the old lady's affairs, what kind of thing is she, she thinks she is superior because she is the son of a family?" is still thinking about taking over from Song Xiuzhu to serve the third master, she thinks beautifully! There are five girls in this house, and it won't be her turn! ”

Xiao Chuan was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the wooden door tightly: "My good wife, you make a small voice, now it is not as good as before, in this Xifu, it belongs to the Jin Lu family and Juying has the largest face, if people listen to it, sue the old lady, I don't know what will happen." There are homeless people outside, and the fourth master can't enter the city for a while, and the three young ladies are still holding it in the hands of the old lady. You bear with it, and when the fourth master and uncle come, everything will be easy to say. ”

Jiao still wanted to scold again, but when he heard Xiao Chuan mention his uncle Jiao Hai, he thought of her uncompetitive nephew, if it weren't for him, how could Sister Chang'er be sent to Tianxiang Hutong to ruin her chastity, and how could she not even be an aunt, and she would have to marry to Shanxi.

She scolded her nephew a few words, but remembered that the initiator of this incident was still Jin Linglong, if it wasn't for Jin Linglong's badness, Sister Chang'er would not have mistaken Nie's maid for Chen's person, and she would not have been caught and locked up.

So she began to scold Linglong again, and scolded for most of the night.

Linglong wandered outside for more than an hour, and after seeing that it was still the second watch, she went to Junyi Street again.

She knew that it would be General Tie who would guard the door, but she still came here every day or two to take a look, in case someone came back.

The cold wind was blowing, and Linglong sneezed a few times and muttered quietly: "Which villain is scolding me, recruit him to provoke him." ”

It was still the big copper lock, Linglong pouted, flew up the wall, and went straight to the last one into the courtyard.

The wind was strong at night, and the doors and windows creaked, Linglong stood in the yard for a while, and the cool breeze swished straight into her neck, she shrunk her neck, and felt so cold, so she pushed open a door and entered the house.

Linglong found the candlestick, and there was still half a candle on the candlestick. This is Shi Er's daily living room, although the furnishings on the table are gone, but it is not as clean as the one in the courtyard where the next few people lived. The kang is also covered with a thick lilac-colored velvet mattress, and a large pillow embroidered with tuberose is placed.

She sat down at the kang table, wanting to warm up a little before going home. But she suddenly found that there was an object under the kang table, she thought it was a piece of paper, but when she touched it, she saw that it was thin and elastic, and it turned out to be a human skin mask.

Shi Er's mask.
