Liansheng returned home, and before he could enter the door, he listened to the crisp laughter of a woman in the courtyard.

She didn't even notice it, and frowned slightly when she heard the laughter.

Hongliu was washing clothes by the well, and Yesheng was sitting under the jujube tree, carrying a book in his hand.

"Fifth brother, are you watching "The Legend of Xiaolin Guangji"?"

"No, why did my sister ask like that."

Hongliu saw Liansheng coming in, and hurriedly stood up, and Liansheng signaled to her what she should do: "Hongliu girl doesn't have to be polite, you are from the palace, the red person next to the concubine, and the lower official can't afford to be a girl like this." ”

Yesheng only felt that this was a little wrong, but he was honest and couldn't tell what was wrong. Then he smiled and said: "I laughed when I heard the red willow girl tell a joke, and my sister came back early today." ”

"The red willow girl came out of the palace, and some things are better to say less, after all, the dignity of the heavenly family cannot be easily offended."

Liansheng had a straight face, extremely serious. Yesheng rarely saw Liansheng like this, carrying a book, sneaking at Liansheng out of the corner of his eyes, and sneaking into his room.

When Liansheng came in, Leng Nan was looking at a bunch of portraits. Yu Shizhao is very efficient, and has arranged Leng Nan to Dali Temple to be a Jiupin pawn, and his specific job is to be responsible for painting images of the white ossified corpses, and at the same time sorting out the pictures and shadows in the past archives, etc., which can be regarded as a good person.

"What's wrong? Feeling discouraged? Leng Nan didn't look up, and carefully compared the two Jiangyang thief avatars.

"Didn't I say you found a house? When to move out with Red Willow? ”

"I thought about it again, and I thought it would be better not to move?"

"Don't move? Where else to stay? Do you want Hongliu to live in the stove room all the time? ”

"She's a girl. There's nothing wrong with living in a stove room. Leng Nan didn't care.

"She's not just a maid, the concubine will send you a palace maid to be a maid, this red willow is used to warm the quilt, how dare I really use someone else as a maid and delay your good deeds?"

"Haha, why do I sound a little sour about this, Gu Tixing, you won't be jealous, right?"

"Vinegar? Hmph, I Gu Liansheng don't like to eat sour, and I don't add vinegar when I don't eat noodles. ”

Liansheng pouted. snatched the portrait in Leng Nan's hand. Take a closer look: "These are all old cases of Dali Temple?" ”

"Yes, just look at these portraits, what kind of things are they drawing, and rely on them to find the murderer. It's all like a joke. ”

Liansheng took a closer look at the portrait. Truly. Many people's faces are almost the same, but all Jiangyang thieves basically have sideburns and beards, and almost all the wanted women have high cheekbones and white eyes. Relying on such pictures to get people is really more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Lian Sheng casually discussed with Leng Nan the case of Mrs. Qi's murder, and Hongliu came in with a tray and said, "Adults should rest after reading for a long time, I made new tea, adults taste it." ”

Liansheng said that the red willow was not an ordinary beckoning girl, but he picked up a cup of tea at random, took a sip and suddenly thought: "I didn't buy new tea at home, where did this come from?" ”

"It's the slave who went to buy vegetables today, and I saw a new tea on the way and bought some."

"How much it costs, I'll figure it out to you later."

Liansheng took a sip and knew that this tea was worth a lot of money, and she didn't give Hongliu money to buy vegetables, of course she spent her own money. Hongliu's face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Hongliu lives here with Mr., and it is also appropriate to buy something." ”

When she said that she followed her husband, she couldn't help but lower her head, and pinched her sleeve with one hand, which was very twisted.

Lian Sheng looked at Leng Nan with a smile and coughed lightly: "Uh, I'll go find a book to read." ”

As he spoke, he walked out with a tea bowl.

Leng Nan put down the tea in his hand and said solemnly: "Hongliu, since you are the girl of my family, how can there be a reason for the girl to spend money to buy tea for the master." ”

"Sir, I'm voluntary, Mr. just entered Dali Temple, there are many places to spend money, Hongliu has been in the palace for many years, I have saved a little money, I think I can help Mr."

"I can't use you to subsidize the family."

"Isn't Sir's home the home of Red Willow?" Hongliu raised her head, glanced at Leng Nan affectionately, and hurriedly lowered her head again, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Red Willow, there's something I think I have to make clear to you."

Leng Nan's face was very serious, and he pointed to the opposite side of himself and said, "You sit down first." ”

"I'm Leng Nan now alone, I don't need others to take care of me, you can also see, I'm finally doing a small errand in Dali Temple now, and I borrowed a friend's house, you don't even have a place to live with me, Niangniang sent you out of the palace and hoped that you would live a good life, so let's do it, I still have some money here, you can take it to clean up and go back to your own home?" From now on, you are free, a little person like me, my mother will forget it in a blink of an eye, and I will not embarrass you. ”

"What did Mr. say, the red willow was given to Mr. by the mother, and I want to take care of Mr. for the rest of my life."

"For a lifetime? So you're not married? ”

"Hongliu is a gentleman's person, what kind of relatives do you become."

Hongliu's face was flushed with shame, and she suddenly raised her head and asked with tears in her eyes: "Mo Fei, Mr. Mo Fei doesn't want me anymore?" But what did I do wrong? ”

"You're fine, it's just that I can't delay you, I have someone I like."

"Congratulations sir, Hongliu doesn't seek fame, just take care of Mr. for the rest of his life, and when the new grandma enters the door in the future, Hongliu will also serve the new grandma wholeheartedly."

If Liansheng heard it, he would definitely feel that this girl was seriously devastated by feudal society, and she was willing to be a concubine.

"The person I like doesn't want to see a concubine, you know what I mean? Red willow. ”

Hongliu stood up suddenly, wiped her tears and asked, "The slave understands, it turns out that the husband and the future grandmother dislike the slave and the maid." So saying, he ran out crying.

Lian Sheng walked around the courtyard with a tea bowl, and his eyes secretly glanced into the cold south room.

In fact, Liansheng's psychology is very simple, she was just a little girl who was about to graduate from college when she fell into the water in the last life, and she is only eighteen years old in this life, and she will also have a gossip heart.

She was angry when she saw Gu Yiqian in the British Palace, and when she returned to her home, she saw a smart and clever little girl who attracted the attention of her family, you know, in the past, she was the only woman in the family, everyone revolved around her, and there was always a gap in her heart at this moment, so she said a few words when she entered the door, but she was just like-minded and sympathetic to Leng Nan, and when she saw Hongliu crying and running out, she was a little unhappy, and stepped forward to pull her and asked, "What's wrong, why are you crying." ”

"Sir doesn't want me, he wants to drive me away."

Liansheng dragged the red willow and sat down by the well, took her hand and said, "Wouldn't that be nice, so that I can be reunited with my parents and family." ”

"My lord, I was arrested in the palace, I was originally a criminal slave, and my family was already killed by the imperial army, where else can I go."

"After you are a slave of sin?" Liansheng didn't expect Hongliu to have such an experience.

"Yes, I was originally from Qianzhou, I was arrested in the palace ten years ago, our village was burned down, and everyone was killed, leaving only a few of us little girls, and the boys were cleaned......" Speaking of this, Hongliu lowered his head embarrassedly, and his two fingers were wrapped together.

"There were six people in total, three of us girls, and three boys, from other villages, I heard that there was a son who was still the head man, we were only five or six years old at that time, and we were sent to the palace together, and I was separated from the other two girls when we entered the palace, and the palace was so big I don't know where they were. The aunt who took me said that this kind of identity must not be told to others, just that it is from a poor family, and if you say it, you will get into trouble. My lord, my home is long gone, my husband doesn't want me, I can only live on the streets. ”

Hongliu cried and begged Liansheng: "My lord, you persuade Mr. to leave me, Hongliu doesn't want to climb the high branch to be an aunt, as long as there is a place to stay." ”

"Hongliu, do you know why your village was killed by the imperial court?"

"This ...... I was young, and I didn't know why I was like this. My grandmother said that the governor was very good to us, and that our lives were very stable. Later, on the way to Beijing, I heard Naiyan say that it was all done by the chief soldier, and he was very greedy, forcing the leader to hand over our treasure, but the leader did not comply, so he framed the leader for rebellion, sent troops to surround us, and the governor came to dissuade us and was also killed by him. Oh, Naiyan is the son of the headman, and after I entered the palace, I was assigned to the concubine, and I never saw them again. ”

"It's great, it's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there! Hongliu, you've done me a great favor. Don't worry, even if you live here, I see who dares to drive you away! ”

Liansheng happily hugged the red willow.

When Leng Nan heard her words in the room, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "A woman's heart, a needle under the sea...... Really. (To be continued......)

PS: It was normal for sinners to be submerged in the palace after that. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, mobilized 300,000 troops to attack in order to clear the Liang King (the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty) in Yunnan. After the war, when the Ming army passed through Kunyang, they captured 12-year-old Xiao Zhenghe and his companions who were playing by the Dianchi Lake to Nanjing. Zheng He became a eunuch in the inner palace after being castrated in the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty.

There is also Ming Xiaozong's biological mother Ji's biological mother Ji is the daughter of Guangxi Ji surnamed Tusi, after the rebellion surnamed Ji was quelled, the girl Ji was captured in the palace as a palace maid.
