IV. Baylor Mansion

Ling Ruo didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but when he woke up, his body was sore, and his mouth was still burning, and he vaguely saw a person with his back to him, and hurriedly called in a dry voice: "Water...... I want water......"

Mo Yu, who was working, thought at first that she had misheard, but when she looked back and saw that Ling Ruo had really woken up, she immediately showed joy, and quickly poured a glass of water from the table and handed it to the bedside, "Girl, you are awake." ”

Ling Ruo didn't care to answer, so she greedily drank the tea that was like elixir and jade dew to her, and after drinking it in one go, she still couldn't quench her thirst, and asked for another cup to quench the thirst in her mouth.

"Did I sleep for a long time?" Mo Yu placed two half-worn cotton cushions behind Ling Ruo so that she could sit on her back for a while. Ling Ruo remembered that she had fainted at night, but now that it was bright outside, she thought that she had at least slept for more than one night.

"Girl, you have been asleep for four days, your hands and feet are convulsed and you are talking nonsense, the slave is so afraid that you will continue to sleep like this." As she spoke, her eyes were red, and her black and blue eye sockets were particularly obvious.

Ling Ruo was slightly stunned, it turned out that she had unconsciously gone to the ghost gate to take a turn, but unfortunately the king of Yama refused to accept her, and drove her back to the yang world. She stroked her viscerally thinner cheek and smiled kindly at Moyu, "You've worked hard these days. ”

Mo Yu smiled embarrassedly: "The slave and maid are fine, as long as the girl is okay, and besides, the slave and maid should take care of the girl." By the way, girl, are you hungry after sleeping for so long, do you want the slave to serve you a bowl of porridge? ”

When she said this, Ling Ruo really felt that her stomach was empty, and she nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Not long after Moyu left, she came in with a bowl of hot porridge, and said softly: "The girl's body has just turned and she can't eat greasy, so she has to eat lighter, and the slave and maid have added some salt to the porridge, so that it is not too light, girl, you can eat it while it is hot." ”

"Thank you!" She smiled, like a lotus blooming in the pond in an instant, so beautiful that it was breathtaking, Mo Yu looked at her in a daze, and only squeezed out a sentence for a long time, "Girl, you are so good-looking, like a fairy, even Nian Fujin is not as good-looking as you." ”

Year of Fujin? Ling Ruo's doubts were quickly explained, Sibeile Yinzhen is twenty-six years old this year, and thirteen years ago he was ordered to marry the daughter of the Minister of the Interior, Feiyangu, the Wulanala clan as Fujin, and the husband and wife are not affectionate, but they also respect each other like guests. Later, the young daughter of the governor of Hubei and the daughter of the leader Geng Dejin entered the palace one after another, and they were established as side Fujin. Among them, Nian's family just entered the mansion a few days ago, and it was also the marriage that Kangxi pointed out, and the four Baylor Mansion had a lantern feast for seven days, and even Kangxi and Yinzhen's biological mother Concubine De came, although it was only a side of Fujin, but that pomp was not much more than that of Fujin.

Moyu was taken to the front yard to wait, and she was lucky enough to see Nian, and she was shocked, she never knew that a person could be so beautiful. I thought that there was no one to compare with Nian Fujin, but I didn't want to meet another one so soon. In comparison, she prefers this newcomer Gege, who is beautiful and has no shackles, unlike that Nian Fujin, who occasionally chatted with the people waiting in the front yard, saying that it was not easy to wait.

The four Baylor mansions are divided into east, west, and middle three roads, each road has three courtyards, Ling Ruo now lives in the backyard of the west road, called Lanyueju, these Gege are not like those side Fujin, Shu Fujin can generally live alone, Lanyueju is the residence of all Gege.

"What about you, why are you doing an errand in the palace, are you a family student or a traitor?" Ling Ruo asked curiously, Mo Yu said a lot, but never touched on herself.

Mo Yu tilted her head and smiled as she tied her shiny braid with a blue rope on her chest: "The slave maid just signed the deed of sale this year, but it has only been signed for three years, not much earlier than the girl came here." ”

"Why do you want to sign a deed of sale, is there no one at home?" Ling Ruo asked while drinking porridge, maybe it was loneliness or maybe it was boredom, in short, she liked to talk to Moyu very much.

Mo Yu shook his head, "No, the slave's parents are still alive, and there is an elder brother and sister, the elder brother is in his twenties this year, and he has long passed the age of marrying a wife, just because the family is too poor so he has not married, this year it is finally said that a family is willing to marry their daughter to their brother, but it costs fifty taels of bride price, in order to make up this money for the elder brother, the slave and maid will voluntarily sell themselves to the Four Baylor Mansion for three years, although the rules of the Four Baylor Mansion are big, but the treatment is also generous, in addition to the money from selling their bodies, the slave and the maid can also receive one or two months of money every month in the past three years, After saving enough for three years, there are thirty-six taels, and with this silver, life in the family will not be too tight. At this she smiled and browled her eyebrows, as if it were such a great fortune.

Her simple smile infected Ling Ruo, and her mood that had been depressed for several days had the feeling of seeing the sun at this moment, yes, people can sometimes live very simply, and a bowl of rice is convenient for the heart.

Although she is unlucky, there are many people who are less fortunate than her, no matter where she is, she must try to live, self-pity can only make relatives and enemies happy.

After thinking about this, the confusion in Ling Ruo's eyes was swept away, and it was replaced by unprecedented firmness.

Don't look at Mo Yu as a girl with no heart, but at this moment, she was keenly aware of Ling Ruo's changes, and said with a smile: "Did the girl think of something?"

Ling Ruo put together the long hair draped behind him, and said lightly: "Sort of, Moyu, tell me about Sibeile." ”

"Sibeile, ah......" Mo Yu wrinkled his nose and said: "Actually, the slave and maid don't know much about it, they have been in the house for more than a month, and they have only seen Sibeile, and they are far away." I heard from the people in the house that Sibeile often has a straight face and rarely laughs, and many people are afraid of him......" She lowered her voice and leaned closer and whispered: "I also heard that someone in the capital gave Sibeile a nickname called 'Brother Leng Mian'." ”

Brother with cold noodles? Ling Ruo smiled dumbly, and the nickname was really appropriate, she had seen Yinzhen twice before and after, and each time she looked like a stranger, it was really difficult for people to have a good impression, compared to the eighth elder brother who was known as the "Virtuous King", the reputation was much better.

"Girl, you can get better this time, should you really Xie Wengege?"

"Wenger?" Ling Ruozhi said that what she said would definitely not be the daughter of the fourth elder brother, but should be a woman with the same status as her.

"Hmm." Mo Yu took half of the porridge that Ling Ruo had eaten and put it on the small table, and said in a low voice: "The few days when the girl was sick was the day when Nian Fujin entered the door, and the whole family was busy with the affairs of Xinfujin, and no one paid attention to us at all. Seeing that the girl was burning and dying, and no one invited the doctor, the slave really didn't know what to do, but fortunately Wenger saw it, and after knowing it, he personally went to the executive's house, and the executive's family sent someone to invite the doctor to see it in Wenger's face. After that, Wenger came to see it a few more times, and he was relieved to know that the girl was fine. ”

Mo Yu didn't say that Ling Ruo didn't know that there was such a thing as Lu Dao, his heart was slightly cold, in the past, at home, although he was poor, but Ama Eniang has always loved herself, and she was very anxious when she was a little sick; Right now, the life that has lived for fifteen years is just a mustard in the eyes of others, and I don't care about life and death at all.

Ling Ruo sighed in his heart, suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said with a light smile: "I really want to thank this Wengege for changing my mind like this." ”
