"The master has been grounded again, the princess was a big victory that day, why do you still embarrass our Liuyun Academy?" The mandarin duck asked a little incomprehensibly and incomprehensibly.
"Because I'm still Concubine Gu!" It's always easy for a woman to turn against the same man, not to mention that the man is their common husband, even if she doesn't want the husband at all.
Empress E, the wife and concubine are compatible, such a picture can only appear in legends and scripts, oh, and in the stallion * novels she once read, of course, men's greed and self-deception are the origin of deriving these, let them try to share a wife with other men, it is estimated that there will be more people in this world who will not be resentful women, but resentful husbands, thinking of this, the corners of Qingjin's mouth showed a smile.
“…… Then the slave and maid will go down and make arrangements. Seeing the smile on Qing Jin's lips, the mandarin duck swallowed the worry that he still had to say, no matter what, the joy of the master is the most important thing, and the mandarin duck told himself in his heart.
Qing Jin had already put pen to paper, and when she heard the mandarin duck's words, she nodded invisibly, and the mandarin duck gently retreated.
In the following days, the surface of Jingwang's Mansion was as calm as usual, but the descendants of Liuyun Courtyard clearly felt that their days were difficult, they used to walk around the mansion, although they were not happy by their colleagues in the mansion, but they did not have a cold face everywhere now, and they turned a blind eye, fortunately, they had already been informed, and they would not be much upset and uncomfortable, you didn't want to see me, and I didn't bother to see you.
Since then, the palace of King Jing. Almost disappeared from the descendants of Liuyun Temple.
Time is like water, and there is no return, and it is less than a month before the New Year's Festival in a blink of an eye.
this day. The mandarin duck walked in the corridor of Liuyun Courtyard in a trance with her hands in her warm sleeves, thinking of what had just happened, her face couldn't hide her anger and anger, she didn't expect that these people really dared to do so much.
The reason for the matter is this: according to the custom, the New Year is approaching, and each prefecture has to purchase a batch of New Year's goods. In addition to the things in the palace, it is also necessary to distribute some food and clothing needed for the New Year to each courtyard in the palace, thinking about the situation of Liuyun Academy in the Jingwang Mansion now. Those people must be pushing, delaying and deducting, but I didn't expect that just half an hour ago, a little maid suddenly ran over to sue her. It was said that the stewardship sent the New Year's Day. She was surprised and stunned at the time, and hurried over, but met her mother-in-law who was about to leave in a hurry on the way.
She hurriedly caught up with the other party and prepared to keep the other party for a cup of hot tea, but was politely and impatiently rejected by the other party, saying that she was going to go to another yard, she was a little aware of something at the time, and was about to say something more, but she didn't expect the other party to give her no place to speak. Taking advantage of the time when she was stunned, she hurried away as if there was an evil ghost chasing after her. She immediately realized that something was wrong, and called a little maid to chase the mother-in-law, and she immediately rushed to the storehouse herself.
When the two little maids guarding the treasury saw her, they immediately cried into tears, saying that there was a mother-in-law who had just come to deliver something, and before the thing had landed, the mother-in-law ran out, and they realized that something was wrong, so they went to stop the mother-in-law, but in the end they didn't stop it, and hurried to see what was sent, but found that it was ...... What did you find? The two little maids couldn't speak for a long time.
Mandarin ducks put aside the two little maids to look at the things sent, this look, the mandarin duck's heart has cooled down, all of them are defective and inferior, these days, the house for their Liuyun Courtyard, although perfunctory, two or three deductions, but the use of sending over is moderate, I didn't expect this time to do so ruthlessly, leaving no room for it, is it the people in the house who are bold to bully the master, or the masters of the people have orders?
When the mandarin duck was thinking about this, the little maid who had just been sent to chase the mother-in-law ran in, and told the mandarin duck in frustration, the mother-in-law was lost by her, and the mandarin duck heard this, and her heart was completely cold, and even the little maid didn't say a word, and walked out of the warehouse in a trance.
Looking at the door close at hand, the mandarin duck felt that she didn't have the courage to walk over for the first time, how could she tell her master, because of her incompetence, the top and bottom of the Liuyun Courtyard will face a situation of starvation and cold, it doesn't matter if they are subordinates, but how can her master suffer such grievances, the mandarin duck is extremely self-reproachful, she should have thought of it, if she could stay in the warehouse, if she just felt that it was wrong, she would ask someone to stop the mother-in-law......
"Sister Mandarin Duck, why are you standing at the tuyere on such a cold day?" Ping'er walked out of the room, just in time to see the motionless mandarin duck on the corridor, and asked with some surprise.
“…… No, I'm just standing here thinking about something. Awakened by Ping'er's words, the mandarin duck subconsciously wanted to turn his head and leave, but when he thought of Qingjin in the room, the mandarin duck prevaricated to Ping'er, and then said to Ping'er: "Is the master okay?" ”
Ping'er was about to enter the house and paused, walked towards the mandarin duck, stood in front of the mandarin duck, and after looking at it, "Sister mandarin duck, why are you talking so strangely today?" ”
"Little girl's family, what's strange or not...... "The mandarin duck dodged Ping'er's gaze, "Okay, I still have something to do, you serve the master carefully, don't be careless, you and Zhi'er have been by the master's side for a while, you should know that the master is lazy, but he is quite lenient to his subordinates, you must serve the master well in the future......"
"Sister Mandarin Duck, you are really strange today, and your face is not good, it shouldn't be sick!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and prepared to touch the mandarin duck's forehead.
The mandarin duck staggered a step and avoided the mandarin duck's hand, "I'm fine, you have to change your temperament, and you must be calm and ...... when you wait by the master's side in the future."
"Sister Mandarin Duck, you're really wrong...... Ping'er looked at Mandarin Duck blankly.
“…… Okay, I'm leaving, you remember what I said......" The mandarin duck turned around resolutely, she was really reluctant!
"Is it the mandarin duck outside?" Qing Jin's voice came out of the room, and the mandarin duck's resolute footsteps paused.
"Sister Mandarin Duck, the master is calling you." Ping'er recovered from her stupor.
The mandarin duck pretended not to hear the footsteps of continuing to leave and could not move again, looking up to the sky to prevent the tears in her eyes from flowing out, just as she was greedy, let her take one last look at the master, thinking like this, she turned around and walked towards the house.
In the room, Qing Jin was lazily sitting on the couch reading the travelogue, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she raised her head and looked over: "What are you doing standing outside and not coming in on such a cold day?" ”
"No—nothing, the slave is just a little dry and wants to blow the wind." The moment she heard Qing Jin's question, the mandarin duck couldn't help but blurt out the astringency on her nose and wanted to blurt out to Qing Jin, but she couldn't, the master was now enough to walk on thin ice, she couldn't help, but she didn't want to involve the master, but her tone unconsciously brought out some urn sounds.
Qing Jin's ears sensitively caught the urn sound of the mandarin duck's tone, put down the book in his hand, walked in from the couch, and sat on the chair near the mandarin duck, "Say, what's going on?" ”
“…… No, nothing. The mandarin duck dodged.
"There's nothing you've ever cried about, you've stood in the cold and blown the wind?"
"It's really nothing." She couldn't let her master add any more burden.
"Then you look me in the eye and tell me." Qing Jin looked directly into the eyes of the mandarin duck.
The mandarin duck subconsciously avoided it, but stubbornly did not speak, just lowered his head and was silent, and the room was very quiet for a while.
"Since you don't deserve to be my master, then you can leave!" Without waiting for the silence to spread, Qing Jin finished speaking, stood up, and prepared to return to the couch.
The mandarin duck fell to the ground with a puff: "It's all the mandarin ducks who are incompetent, the mandarin ducks should be damned!"
"Tell me something, I'll decide if you deserve to die after listening to it." Is this a bitter love drama? Qing Jin was a little irritable when her patience ran out.
Mandarin duck told Qingjin from beginning to end.
"That's it? Then you tell me, if I don't stop you, what are you going to do? Qing Jin asked without seeing her joy or anger.
"The slave maid is going to the princess and ask the princess how she can ......"
"You're not looking for the princess, you're looking for death!" Qing Jin coldly interrupted Mandarin Duck's words.
The mandarin duck was silent.
Qing Jin instantly understood that Mandarin Duck really had this plan, and she was really angry at this time: "You are still really promising, just a little bit of food and clothing, you can force yourself to come to the door to seek death, you ......"
"But the people of the palace are deliberately embarrassed, the slave and maid's letter can't be sent, we can only rely on the king's share, and now because of the incompetence of the slave and maid, the share is gone, the slave and the maid are desperate for their lives, and they must not let the master live a life of lack of food and clothing, and the people of the palace cannot let the people of the palace humiliate the master so much."
Qing Jin's anger was dispersed by Mandarin Duck's words, and at the same time, she couldn't cry or laugh, but instead comforted Mandarin Duck: "Okay, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can you prevent thieves for a thousand days, since people have this idea, they will always see the opportunity to find a needle, no matter how much you have, if it's useless, what else is there called lack of food and clothing, I can't wear out more clothes next year." ”
"The master has never been like this when he was in the Anji Hou Mansion, they dare to do this now, and they will definitely dare to do more excessive things in the future, the slave and maid are fighting for their lives, and they must not let the master fall into such a situation."
"Then you can stop this by crashing into the princess in front of you?" Qing Jin asked coldly.
"I ......"
"Don't be naïve, if you really go, then death can only be a vain death, and it won't have a half-star effect, oh, by the way, it's still a little useful......"
The mandarin duck looked over with bright eyes.
"I can add a charge to your master for instigating someone to offend the master's mother." Qing Jin said cruelly.
"Slave ......"
"Okay, if there is something in the future, come to me directly, don't imagine and make up for yourself, you are in such a hurry to find death, if you don't die, God can't see it, and if you die, you will die stupidly." Qing Jin mocked mercilessly.
The mandarin duck was not afraid of Qing Jin's sinking face at all, "The mandarin duck knows that the master is worried about the slave!" "A pair of slaves and maids all understand, master, you don't have to hide it, and looked at Qing Jin with gratitude. (To be continued......)
