Chapter 177, Asylum Seeking

Back in the West Cross Courtyard, Zihu was sitting at the stone table doing needlework, and when he saw Changsheng coming in, he asked in horror and confusion, "What did the girl do?" Did you tell the old lady about that? Please, girl, don't! If the old lady knew, she would definitely make a house for that animal, and I wouldn't want to die! If this news gets out, I'll have to die! ”

Changsheng hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" I went to the old lady to say something else, by the way, tell the old lady that the eldest lady can't leave me at night, I will accompany her every night in the future, and you are a loyal girl, I have to follow wherever I go, I don't take the initiative to say this, someone will always tell the old lady, rather than being misunderstood by the old lady at that time, it is better for me to tell her first, is it relieved? From now on, we will live together every night, with the permission of the old lady, and who will dare to laugh at me for not being like a nurturing aunt? ”

Zihu breathed a sigh of relief and said with some shame: "I'm too afraid that others will know about this, that's why I'm so nervous, girl, don't take it to heart." ”

Changsheng sat down on the stone bench in front of her, comforted her and said: "No need to explain, I understand, don't worry, without your consent, I will never tell anyone, don't think about this matter in the future, let's just go to sleep in the room every night, believe me, time will dilute everything, and slowly you will forget." ”

Zihu answered in a whisper, raised his head, but his eyes were gloomy, what if no one knew what would happen? She was no longer the same as before, and perhaps time, as the girl said, would dilute everything, but it would not make her forget it completely.

Changsheng understands her thoughts, but she is helpless, for women in this era, it is not easy for Zihu to stop looking for death and life and no longer feel sorry for herself under her persuasion, so she can only wait for her to think about it slowly.

But she really thinks that this matter should be known to Mingjing, and she doesn't know how Mingche is going to arrange Jinshu, although Aunt Tai said that Che will definitely arrange it properly, but as long as she is still in Xie Mansion, she will not be at ease.

She didn't worry about the old lady, she didn't say coldly anymore and didn't give a good face to the people in Jinshu Courtyard, she had the property left by Mingche for Mingjing, and she wasn't afraid that the old lady would deduct the amount, so she sent someone to buy it.

What she is afraid of is that the thief of the Ming and Qing dynasties is not dead, although Mingjing is there, but he is a big man's family, with his own yard and a girl, he can't live in Jinshu Courtyard every night, and now Zihu is not allowed to tell others, Mingjing doesn't know what happened in the West Cross Courtyard at all.

Without the old lady suppressing Ming Qing, no one can say what he can do, either leave here, or let Ming Jing know, and let him make arrangements to ensure the safety of the people in Jinshu Courtyard.

Changsheng looked at Zihu who was doing work at the bottom, and turned his head to see that there were slaves passing by from time to time outside the courtyard, this was not the place to speak, so he stood up and said to Zihu: "Let's go back to the room, I have something to say to you!" ”

Zihu looked at her suspiciously, nodded, and quickly packed up the sewing basket and Changsheng and went back to the house, looking at Changsheng timidly and silently.

Changsheng sighed distressedly, closed the door and pulled her to sit face to face on the chaise longue, and asked tentatively: "When you go to Pei's house, do you see your aunt's intentions?" ”

Zihu nodded: "I saw it, everyone saw it, it was my aunt who wanted Young Master Zijun and the eldest lady to marry, everyone praised my aunt and grandmother for being so good to the eldest lady, and also said that the Pei family was powerful and powerful, if it weren't for my aunt and grandmother's dedication to thinking about her niece, my aunt would not have agreed to this family business." ”

Changsheng smiled, these girls are quite sensitive, most of the Pei family's intentions have been clearly seen during the trip to Pei's mansion, how to explain this matter to Zihu, and we have to find a suitable reason.

"You're right, I won't hide some things from you. My aunt and grandmother want to let the young master Zijun and the eldest lady get married, this is not only the meaning of the aunt and grandmother, but also the meaning of the Pei family, but also the meaning of the old lady, the aunt and grandmother took the eldest lady over, just to let the uncle know that their Pei family will treat the eldest lady well, I hope the uncle can agree to this family business, I don't know why their family attaches so much importance to this family business, I only heard that the uncle will not agree to this family business, because the young grandmother seems to have some last words before she died. I think after the uncle refused to marry, the old lady would definitely be angry and unwilling to pay attention to the matter of Jinshu Courtyard, and no one would suppress the **** at that time, who knows what else he will do? ”

In fact, whether my sister had any last words about Jinshu's marriage before she died, it was just Changsheng's conjecture. She was an ancient, but her sister, as a modern person, would definitely understand that this was a wrong approach, and she was worried that her destiny would not be long, and she would definitely explain to Mingche in advance, so she boldly excused herself and said that her grandmother had an explanation before she died.

Zihu was full of fear when he heard this, and grabbed Changsheng: "Girl, save me!" I'm afraid, the **** said that he wouldn't let me go when he left, and said that he would look for me again in the future, I'm afraid, the girl will take me out of here! ”

Changsheng shook his head: "You forgot, your deed of sale is still in the Xie family, if you leave without the consent of the master, you are a fugitive slave, and you dare not let people find out in the escape all your life, if you are caught, not to mention how the Xie family will punish you, even the government will severely punish the fugitive slave, and the old lady will let you go for no reason?" This is not a troubled time, there will be no good way to escape, the only hope is to find someone to protect us! ”

Zihu seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and said with some excitement: "Who? Who will protect us? ”

"It's the third master."

Zihu shook his head and said disappointedly: "That **** is a serious sister-in-law, and he has the support of his aunt and grandmother and the old lady, and the third master is powerless and powerless by the old lady in Xie Mansion, and the aunt is also controlled by the old lady, how can he take that ****?" ”

"Yes, the third master can't take that ****, but there is an uncle, don't forget that I was sent back from Jinyang by the uncle, and you were assigned by the old lady to serve me, speaking of which, we are now the people of the big house, why did the **** move the big house? Although the uncle is not there, and no one is in charge of the big house where the young grandmother died early, but when I came from Jinyang, the uncle had confessed in person that he had entrusted the third master to take care of the affairs of Jinshu Courtyard, and he had to tell him everything. I think if the third master comes forward to warn him in the name of the uncle, he will not dare to make up his mind in this courtyard, even without the protection of the old lady, we are safe, are you willing? ”

A touch of pain and shyness flashed on Zihu's face, she covered her face and lowered her head, and said helplessly: "I understand what the girl meant, are you saying that this matter must be told to the third master, and he must be let know what the **** has done, so that he will find a way to protect us, right?" ”

Changsheng looked at her earnestly: "I really didn't expect you to be so smart at such a young age, that's what I mean, this matter must be told to the third master, so that he can find a way to protect our safety." But I said I wouldn't tell anyone if you didn't agree, so I listened to you. ”

Zihu raised his head and said firmly: "Although I don't want anyone to know about this anymore, I listen to the girl, and the girl can do whatever she thinks is good!" ”
