But Ruosheng already had doubts in his heart, so he couldn't help but think about it deeply. However, the residual poison was not cleared, and after thinking too much, the green tendons in the corners of her forehead jumped suddenly, and they were so upset that they couldn't think about it anymore.
It's easy to fry the medicine, Su Yu took a hot bowl out, and asked her to drink it, she took it and took a sip, the tip of her tongue suddenly numb, this thick bowl of medicinal juice was bitter. But there is no bitter taste of good medicine, she blew on the bowl, raised her head and poured a bowl of medicine, muttered a few sips, all the mouths were bitter, and even the throat was bitter for a while, until the tip of the heart went up.
Su Yu looked at it, didn't make a sound, just put the empty bowl to the side, and said, "In a few moments, this day should also be bright." ”
"Dawn?" Ruosheng's tongue swirled along the teeth, trying to dispel the bitterness, and the tone of her voice seemed a little strange, as if she had just woken up in the first month of the year, and she didn't know how to speak.
Su Yu said: "Leaning on the fence is not an ordinary flower that can be seen everywhere, if someone sends flowers to this room, someone will definitely come to collect them." ”
Therefore, at most, until dawn, the person who quietly came to clear the scene will inevitably appear.
Ruosheng's mind cleared up, and her originally mushy brain slowly regained her usual composure, and her mouth kept flooding with bitterness, and her consciousness became more and more sober.
Soon, Hu Qiuniang and Lujiao also took the antidote in a daze.
The burning heat on his body gradually subsided, and the hoarse voice gradually changed back to its original appearance.
The faint glow of the fire in the bedroom. It was also extinguished after a while, and the silent night, which was not very long, returned to peace and tranquility. The previous qiē was as if it had never happened. The faint smell of medicine in the air is also covered by the fragrance of flowers, and you won't notice it if you don't smell it carefully.
The fine sand in the hourglass, little by little.
Finally, in the thick of the night, there was a little more light footsteps.
If Ruosheng hadn't been lying there with bated breath, he wouldn't have noticed the movement that was so light that he could barely hear it.
Subsequently. "Squeak-" There was a sound, as if someone had pushed the door open.
She remained motionless, curled up in the thin quilt, like a wax figure that could not speak or move.
She counted lightly in her heart, one step, two steps, three steps...... The footsteps grew clearer. Suddenly, there was a "bang", and something heavy fell to the ground in the darkness! Then the room was lit up, and Ruosheng lifted the quilt and got up, put off his shoes and went out of the bedroom.
Hu Qiuniang was squatting on the ground looking at the uninvited guest, and saw her come out. called out "girl" softly.
Green Banana hurriedly took a coat and put it on for the thinly dressed Ruosheng.
"A little girl?" Ruosheng glanced down at the ground, frowned and asked in a low voice.
Hu Qiuniang's face was slightly different. He whispered, "Girl, this is the one we have only seen in the garden during the day." ”
"Oh, it's her......" Ruosheng was not too surprised when he heard her say that it was Shi'er.
She had already suspected Aunt Mei before, and the person who would come here was Shi'er, but it was even more correct to look at it. Ruosheng glanced at Hu Qiuniang and asked, "Do you know how to ask?" ”
Hu Qiuniang has been at Lianjia for a few years, although she has been outside, and she does not run errands in the capital house. But in the end, it is the person who has followed Mrs. Yun Zhen, and it is naturally not difficult to ask. She nodded to Ruosheng. Said: "The slave maid led her to the back." ”
"Be careful, don't startle the snake." Ruosheng knew that Hu Qiuniang was far more powerful than himself in these things. When he heard the words, he only bowed his head and said two sentences.
Hu Qiuniang responded, and in a blink of an eye, she resisted Shi'er like an anti-sack, and took the person down in three or two steps.
The poison that leans on the fence comes fiercely, but it goes quickly.
It didn't take long for them to take the medicine, and the symptoms after the poisoning gradually disappeared, and by this time, there was no major problem.
But Lujiao was not at ease, and blamed herself, thinking that she didn't take good care of Ruosheng, so that her master was also tricked, and she deserved to die. She has always been a sincere person, and she also told Ruosheng like this when she thought about it, and Ruosheng laughed when she heard it: "I can't prevent it, how can I blame you." After a pause, she pointed in the direction where Fang Qiuniang had just retreated, and continued, "If you blame yourself, you will let her hear it later, won't she blame herself even more?" ”
Lujiao followed her in order to take care of her daily life, and Hu Qiuniang brought another layer of protection to her, but as a result, even if the master did not blame her, Hu Qiuniang may not feel good in her heart.
When Lujiao heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, so he hurriedly nodded yes, saying that the slave would not mention it again.
Sure enough, when Shaoqing Hu Qiuniang came back, Lu Jiao was afraid that he would not pay attention to reveal his meaning, so he kept his head down, not daring to look at her head-on.
Hu Qiuniang stepped forward and said, "Girl, that picker's mouth is quite strict." ”
If he had never done such a thing before, he naturally had no confidence in his heart, and frowned when he heard this: "But it takes time?" ”
Hu Qiuniang only said that she was strict, but she didn't say that she couldn't ask questions.
"Yes, if the slave and maid consume it with her, she will not be able to bear it after all." Hu Qiuniang explained calmly.
Ruosheng sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, his eyes calm: "Okay, then do it according to your idea." However, when he said this, Ruosheng suddenly remembered something, so he said to Hu Qiuniang: "I'll go see her in person." ”
Hu Qiuniang was surprised: "The girl wants to interrogate herself?" ”
Ruosheng shook her head while getting out of bed and putting on her shoes, where would she do this, but there was something she suddenly thought of, and she couldn't help but ask.
When she put on her shoes, she said, "Lujiao will pack up the things in this house, and Qiu Niang will follow me." ”
Hu Qiuniang thought about it, and vaguely understood what she was going to ask, so she accompanied Ruosheng to the past.
When he arrived at the ear room that served as a bathroom, Ruosheng saw Shi'er sitting in the corner of the wall and trembling with his legs.
After all, she's just a little girl, no matter how capable she is, she's afraid.
Ruosheng took two steps forward. Standing there, looking at the top of her hair, she said, "You are the person next to Aunt Mei." ”
Shi'er has no words. He didn't raise his head either, as if he hadn't heard it.
Ruosheng is not annoyed. Slowly, he lowered his body in place, lowered his voice and said, "You entered the Liu Mansion two years ago?" ”
Previously, in the garden of the Liu family, after Hu Qiuniang found Shi'er, Jiang's daughter Jinniang was dissatisfied, and later inadvertently muttered a lot of things, such as how old Shi'er entered the house, she looked at Shi'er well and wanted to come, but she didn't want people to go to Aunt Mei's Yunyun. Talked about a long call.
Ruosheng thought about Aunt Mei, and quietly remembered a lot while listening.
Regardless of Shi'er putting her head on her knees and not saying a word, she asked one sentence after another as if talking to herself, and finally said: "In this house, there should be a girl of the same age as you, named Bird Slave, I wonder if you have ever seen it?" ”
Ruosheng asked such a question, but he didn't really have hope in his heart.
Although Shi'er also arrived at Liu's house two years ago, it is not far from the time when the bird slave was bought by Liu Tingshi. But the chances that they didn't meet were even greater.
However, as soon as Ruosheng's words fell, Shi'er, who had never made a sound, suddenly raised his head. He glanced at her quickly and vigilantly, his eyes like those of a small beast in the mountains.
Ruosheng was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but raise his voice: "You know her? ”
Shi'er pursed her lips tightly and still didn't say anything, but this time she didn't lower her head again.
"You know her!" When Ruosheng saw this, he already understood in his heart, even if he had never seen the bird slave, he must have known, "Is it okay for me to make a deal with you?" ”
Shi'er obviously didn't expect her to suddenly throw out such a sentence. His body stiffened, and he shrank more into the corner: "What deal?" ”
She's interested.
Ruosheng looked her straight in the eye. One word at a time: "You sue me for the matter of the slave, I will give you freedom." ”
But whoever has money in his family and can live his life. There are a few people who are willing to be slaves and slaves for the rest of their lives, but it is not easy to redeem themselves, and it is even more difficult to cancel their registration, and the word "freedom" is very tempting.
Ruosheng didn't wait for her to speak, and added another bargaining chip: "I will promise you another five hundred taels of silver." ”
Shi'er's eyes widened suddenly.
It is not bad to have a dozen taels of money a year, and five hundred taels is an astronomical amount for her.
Shi'er bit her lip, her body shrunk into a ball, her hands hugged her knees, and her expression changed and changed, she was young and couldn't help the wind and waves, "How do you know about the finch slave?" ”
"She's like my sister-in-law." Ruosheng's eyes were gentle.
Shi'er lost her mind for a while, and said for a long time: "Actually, I don't recognize her...... I've just, just met her once...... I don't know ...... at all."
Ruosheng shook his head: "You just need to tell the situation when you see her." ”
Shi'er pursed her lips vigorously: "When I first arrived at Liu's house, I was on duty in the pulp washing room, which was in the northwest corner of Liu's house, which was the most remote place. ”
"That man is a finch slave?"
"I didn't know who she was." The expression on Shi'er's face gradually changed, and he became frightened, "I got up and saw that there was a person on the ground, his face was wet, and one eye was blue...... She was wearing silk, not like a maid in the house...... I thought it was a girl from the house, so I hurriedly went up to help her, but who would have thought that she would suddenly get up and jump into the well! I couldn't pull it, I was so anxious to cry, but she still came to break my fingers. ”
Ruosheng's eyelids jumped when he heard this.
"I didn't hold ......," Shi'er's voice gradually lowered, "I heard a commotion behind me, someone was looking for something like frost...... She said expressionlessly in the well, I am not like frost, I am a finch slave......"
Shi'er shuddered: "She fell." (The novel "Palm Beads" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
