Chapter 083: See You at Night
Hu Qiuniang said: "Girl, there seems to be something wrong with Aunt Mei. ”
It's good, she has nothing to do to send a little maid to the back garden to find out? Who did she want the little maid to spy on? Is it the girl and son of Liu's Mansion, or Ruosheng who is coming to the door for the first time today, or Su Yu?
"Of course it's wrong." Ruosheng narrowed her eyes slightly, and the greenery that greeted her seemed to be thicker, and her eyes seemed to be darker, "Mrs. Liu is in front of her, and she doesn't look like the housemother of the Liu family." ”
How can there be a reason for a husband to be sick and give this matter to his aunt?
Aunt Mei is eighty percent, and she still came to her and Su Yu. But today, she and Jin Niang went to the small pavilion first, so that the maids went to fold the grass and pick flowers to gather around to fight the grass to play, and Su Yu and the others came from another road later, and when they saw them, they approached to talk together.
Shi'er had apparently been hiding in the rockery for a while.
Ruosheng groaned: "Qiu Niang, I have something to tell you in advance. ”
"What?" Hu Qiuniang listened to her solemn tone, and was stunned, "Girl, please speak." ”
Ruosheng turned his face facing out of the window, looked at her steadily, did not hesitate, only took a few breaths, and said calmly in one breath.
Hu Qiuniang was surprised after hearing this: "Girl, is Zheng's words true?" ”
"She was already confused at that time, whether she could say it or not, she would only take it out and say that it was a good invitation, and it wouldn't be fake." Ruosheng shook his head, "I listened to that Zheng's words, and I felt that the child was very pitiful, so I couldn't help but want to find her." ”
At first, it was inconvenient for her to explain to her aunt and third uncle why she wanted to find the bird slave, so she could only use the strange eyes of the bird slave as an excuse, saying that it was due to curiosity. Therefore, I would rather come to Pingzhou in person to have a look.
However, at this time, the matter has already involved people of Liu Tingshi's identity, and Liu Tingshi's mansion seems to have no problem on the surface. But whether it's Aunt Mei or Liu Tingshi's plausible condition. They were all reminding her that these things were far from being as simple and easy as she had thought before.
She half-hid and half-said, and confided in Hu Qiuniang about some important things, seeing that Hu Qiuniang's face seemed to be moved, she struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Then the Zheng family doesn't know how much silver she received and sold her, she is a girl who is younger than me, but I am afraid that she has suffered all the hardships." "Say it. Ruochang let out a long sigh.
The birds perched under the eaves also flapped their wings suddenly, leaving only a few fluttering sounds that gradually dissipated in the wind, like her long sigh.
When Hu Qiuniang was young, she also suffered from not being liked by her parents and brothers.
Her mother was only for two hundred taels of silver, so she could sell her to others, and in the end she almost lost her life.
Because she had experienced such a thing, Hu Qiuniang put herself in her shoes, and her heart also became painful, and she said to Ruosheng: "The slave and maid all listen to the girl." ”
But after speaking, she still persuaded Ruosheng: "But once the matter can't be done." Girl, don't hesitate, let's leave for the capital immediately, okay? ”
"That's nature." Ruosheng nodded.
Just as the green banana finished making the bed and came out of the bedroom, Hu Qiuniang said to Ruosheng: "The slave maid went around to inquire about Aunt Mei." Let's see if anyone has ever seen the child with the strange eyes. ”
However, having said that, they all knew in their hearts that Liu Tingshi bought the bird slave, and it was impossible for him to take him home to be a girl.
The biological mother of the bird slave is a native of Dongyi.
Dongyi and Dayin have been at war many times, and the relationship between the two countries has never been harmonious, but there are always merchants who rack their brains for silver and resell goods in the two countries.
These people not only buy and sell silk, spices, furs, porcelain and other goods, but also sell people.
The area around the side garden. It is said that there are many people who specialize in this business.
A dancing girl who was smuggled into Dayin from Dongyi. Can sell for a very substantial price, sometimes. This sum of money alone could make the man's teeth live comfortably and happily for years.
But it's extremely difficult, extremely difficult to bring people over......
It's deadly work.
Therefore, there are only a handful of Dongyi people who can stay in Dayin, and it is even rarer to have both the blood of the Dayin people and the blood of the Dongyi people on their bodies.
Anyone who is willing to spend money to buy her will not have a simple purpose.
Ruosheng had also heard some past stories intermittently from the mouth of the bird slave in the past, and he understood what the life of the bird slave was like, so the person who bought her must have firmly hidden her in an unknown corner.
How will Liu Tingshi be Tibetan?
She had no bottom in her heart, Hu Qiuniang went out for a spin and came back and said that no one had ever seen a girl with different eyes. As for Aunt Mei, no one in this mansion knows where she came from, but they all say that Liu Tingshi loves her very much.
Ruosheng thought for a while and asked, "Why doesn't Aunt Mei have children?" ”
She has been carried by her aunt for three years, why don't she even have a child.
Hu Qiuniang replied: "The slave maid also thought about this, so she set the words of the Liu family, saying that Aunt Mei had a body earlier, but she couldn't keep it." ”
"Oh?" Ruosheng was a little surprised, thinking about the way Aunt Mei and the Jiang family got along, it was clear that Aunt Mei had the upper hand, how could such a person not do everything possible to keep his child?
"The people below are also secretive about this matter, and they are very secretive."
"Liu Tingshi doted on her like he does now, was it like this from the beginning, or did it happen after she lost her children?"
Hu Qiuniang was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "The slave listens to that wind, it seems that it was just mediocre before. ”
This shows that it was after Aunt Mei lost her children that she gained the upper hand in this mansion! Ruosheng's heart was inexplicably cold, and she vaguely guessed that something was going on, but first, there was no evidence, and second, the tiger poison still didn't eat children, and she didn't even dare to think about it.
But thinking of the Jiang family's sudden embarrassment when he heard Aunt Mei coming, he couldn't even hide it deliberately, and Ruosheng couldn't help but lower his eyelids.
This Aunt Mei is not an ordinary person......
When the sun was in the west, Jin Niangda came in from outside, asked Ruosheng if he was comfortable to live in, and said that he would come to Ruosheng again tomorrow to talk, so he took advantage of the twilight. Let's go.
Soon, the lights were in the room.
Outside, the sky became dark and dark. The shadows of the trees became hideous.
The green banana who went to close the window had just poked out half of his head and glanced in the darkness, and then let out a low exclamation.
Ruosheng and Hu Qiuniang were immediately alarmed.
Hu Qiuniang asked, "What's wrong?" He leaned over quickly.
Green Banana patted his chest and turned around, "It's okay, it's ingot......"
It was dark under the window, and when she looked out, she saw two green eyes, and she was startled. It is usually said that ingots are fat, and the cat's eyes are only two seams. If you look at it at night, it's not too small.
It jumped on the windowsill, licked its paws, and meowed.
Hu Qiuniang looked back at Ruosheng and asked her what to do.
Ruosheng sat down again with the back of the chair, looked at the ingots helplessly, and had to say, "Bring it in first." "The Liu family's affairs, they are still confused, and they can't ask Yuanbao to run around outside.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but sneer. The people on Su Yu's side can't even look at a cat, it's really not as good as a cat......
"Meow ......" Yuan Bao walked over to her lightly. As soon as he lay down beside the shoe, he lay down.
Ruosheng's eyes changed slightly, and he suddenly reached out and turned the body of the ingots up and down, making it lie on its back.
Yuan Bao thought that she was coming to smooth her hair, so she spread out her limbs and exposed her belly.
Ruosheng didn't move again, staring at its belly without blinking.
There were two words written on it!
- Janitor.
She froze where she was.
Because of staying at Liu's house. The only people around her who can be used are Hu Qiuniang and Green Banana, as for those Hu Servant Guards. They can only stay in the outer courtyard. At night, Hu Qiuniang must be on duty at night. But there is no harm in having multiple ingots. Cats sleep shallowly and are more alert than humans, and they can see at night without lights.
Ruosheng came back to his senses and laughed.
I really don't know what to say about that man......
That night, she left the ingots, and the ingots were much quieter than usual, lying at the foot of the bed, with her eyes open, and her front paws folded in front of her, invisibly revealing two points of majesty.
Ruosheng's eyes were also open in the middle of the night.
She admits that the problem with the bed is not strict, and she can still sleep peacefully in the inn, but she stays in the guest room of Liu's house tonight, but she has not slept peacefully for a long time.
It's probably because of something in my heart, heavy, depressed and unhappy, and it is difficult to sleep with peace of mind.
The sky outside is already the top of the moon.
The room was filled with the fragrance of unknown flowers and plants, like a hidden orchid, like a summer lotus, and there seemed to be a little fragrance of roses blooming in the hazy room.
The smell is pleasant and fragrant.
Ruosheng lay on the pillow, took a deep breath, and a faint fragrance penetrated his heart from his nose.
She wondered what kind of flower it was, how could she never seem to smell it?
There are many flowers and trees in Pingzhou, Liu's family is in Pingzhou, this flowers and plants are not uncommon, not only in the back garden, but also in each yard and every house, there are also a lot of bonsai, and most of the flowers and plants in them are not named.
She was confusedly recalling the pots of flowers in this room, and suddenly there was a "babble-" sound in her ears.
Before she could react, footsteps rang out in the void.
She immediately shouted "Qiu Niang", but Hu Qiu Niang, who was obviously resting on the foot pedal on duty at night, did not move at all.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Ruosheng lifted the quilt and got up quickly, and when he got to the edge of the bed, Hu Qiuniang was sleeping sweetly with her eyes closed, and she was taken aback, and then pushed her with her hand, but Hu Qiuniang didn't react at all, and didn't move.
Fear crept in.
Ruosheng went to see the ingots again, but the ingots also closed their eyes, shrank their heads, and fell asleep.
She gasped.
The footsteps were near.
She picked up the candlestick on the low table beside her, and looked up.
In the darkness, a figure gradually emerged, "Ah Jiu." ”
The voice...... It's Su Yu! (To be continued)
