Chapter 56: Confession
"Sister Cuisleeve, it's me!" Yan Ran had already walked out of the corner of the wall and said with a smile: "Seeing Sister Cui Sleeve talking to someone here, I was going to come over quietly to scare you, but I knew that what you said was such a big thing, but I didn't dare to come over!" ”
Since that time, Cui Sleeve reminded Yan Ran, although she and Yan Ran can't be regarded as close friends, they can also make jokes, and seeing Yan Ran say this at this moment, Cui Sleeve poked Yan Ran on the forehead with a finger: "Laugh at me again." Xiaochan, you just go back and serve your aunt and grandmother well, the old lady will be happy about this matter! ”
Although the reasons for being willing to stay with the master and serve are different, the master will be happy when he hears it. Xiaochan gratefully gave Cui Sleeve a blessing, and entered the small cross courtyard! Cui Sleeve waited for Xiaochan to enter the small cross courtyard before sighing: "Hey, these maids all have their own hearts." But Yanran, you are going to marry the eldest lady, and you will ...... then."
"Sister, you don't have to worry about this, I won't be a concubine in my life!" Yan Ran's words were still brisk, but her tone was resolute. Cui Sleeve couldn't help but glance at Yan Ran, who had already smiled and said, "Sister, don't talk about me, talk about you." Last time, I heard in a trance that someone was going to propose to my sister. ”
Cui Sleeves's face couldn't help but turn red: "I know this, that's it, I'm not afraid to tell you, this matter, I'm only afraid that there are seven or eight points, but I don't want to marry so early, I have to serve the old lady for another two years, and then marry!" "Cui Sleeve will be eighteen after the New Year, and she will serve the old lady for two more years, and at that time she will be twenty, even if she is in the maid, she will be an old girl. Yanran saw that Cui Sleeve looked full of confidence, and couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, she was ignorant when she was a child, and she always had some such and such ideas, and when she got older, she understood, some ideas can't be had!
Everyone is happy every Chinese New Year, and Yanran is no exception, not only do you have new clothes, but you can also go home for a few days, which is better than anything else. Yanran went back on the third day of junior high school, and when she came to the back door, she saw a mother-in-law leading two people into the door, dressed like a farmer in the countryside.
Seeing Yanran, the woman immediately stopped: "Is this going home?" Yanran looked at the two people before whispering to the mother-in-law, "Who is this going to send?" The mother-in-law did not shy away from it, so she said to Yanran: "The young lady is gracious, let Lian'er go out to marry, this is Lian'er's father, I want to take her!" ”
Yanran looked at the Liu family's parents, although she knew that Lian'er would be driven away sooner or later, but now it was too fast, just half a month ago, she heard Zeng Zhiqing praise Lian'er in a trance. Yanran always thought that it would take a while for Lian'er to be disliked, who knew that it would be so soon.
The father and mother of the Liu family have already looked at Yanran, listening to the tone of the mother-in-law and Yanran's speech, and know that this is just a big girl, even such a big girl is so magnificent, so what kind of grandeur does this master's family need? At this moment, the father and mother of the Liu family hated that their daughter did not grow up, and they all served the master, and they were even let out to marry, what kind of family should they look for at that time? No, what kind of family are you looking for to have such wealth?
The Hou Mansion can't climb up, so it's better to tell Lian'er to be a concubine to a big family in the town, than to marry a village husband casually! Yanran didn't know what the Liu family's father and mother thought, and left after saying a few words to her mother-in-law.
When Yanran left, Mother Liu accosted her mother-in-law and asked, "Who is this girl serving?" Look at the grandeur of this body, I am afraid that some people will believe it if it is said that it is the lady in the house! The woman looked at them with disdain before saying, "This is to serve the young lady, and you are lucky, otherwise, where will you meet the person who serves the young lady?" ”
Father Liu sighed heavily: "Hey, why don't we know that girl, how can we find such a good master family in the future?" The mother-in-law's face couldn't help but be flat: "Originally, your daughter served the son, what a blessing this is, but who saw your daughter like that, it is not the same thing to take the blessing, now, it is a waste, right?" ”
Liu's father and mother hurriedly responded, the mother-in-law had already taken them to a secluded corner, and there was a mother-in-law guarding the door of the house. Listen, I'm still crying, I keep saying that I want to see the son, the son is annoyed by her, if it weren't for the young lady's intercession, I'm afraid that she will be sold by the son of the world, and at this moment, her father and mother are allowed to take her away, which is already a blessing from heaven! ”
Lian'er in the house was crying in despair, she was locked in this house for two days, she couldn't beat her teeth, and then she heard her father and mother come to take her away, Lian'er was even more desperate, it's over, this one was taken away, and I don't know who my father and mother are going to marry me to? The black bedding, the rough diet, and the need to get up in the morning to fetch water to cook, how can you stand it? As soon as Lian'er saw the door open, she rushed over and said, "I'm not leaving, I beg the young lady to be kind!" ”
The mother-in-law had already kicked Lian'er contemptuously: "Are you still the head maid next to the prince?" Why don't you hurry up? Lian'er cried and whimpered, collapsed to the ground, and refused to leave. Liu's father and mother looked outside the door from afar, and saw that there was a beauty wearing gold and silver inside, but she didn't dare to recognize that this was her daughter, and when she heard the cry, she was still a little familiar, so she was sure that this was her daughter.
Since the daughter is so beautiful, it has increased more and more, they can't marry their daughter to such a family casually, but must put her into a big family as a concubine. Thinking of Liu's mother, she ran in, hugged Lian'er and said: "My mother hasn't seen you for a few years, your whereabouts are getting better and better, the master is kind, don't cry, let's go back with us." ”
Lian'er was sold at the age of ten, and went to a few masters' houses, and the situation was getting better and better, and at this moment I saw a village woman who still smelled of garlic in her mouth holding herself, and she screamed, rolled her eyes up, and fainted.
Mother Liu was not in a hurry when she saw her daughter fainting, so she called in her husband and asked her husband to carry her daughter on his shoulders and resist, and Mother Liu said to the two mothers-in-law again and again: "I should have gone to kowtow to the young lady to thank us, but we are like us, and the young lady doesn't want to see us, so I asked the two of you to say it for me in front of the young lady!" ”
These two mothers-in-law are just third-class mothers-in-law who are talking and running errands, and at this moment, in front of outsiders, they naturally have to pretend to be very valued, and nod: "This is natural!" Before he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Tao's voice behind him: "Two mothers, these two are Sister Lian'er's fathers and mothers?" The young lady instructed that Sister Lian'er always served the prince, and all the clothes and jewelry in her house were brought by her father, and the young lady rewarded Sister Lian'er with another twenty taels of silver as a dowry! ”
Lian'er woke up faintly, and when she heard Xiao Tao's words, she fainted again. If you don't take it away, maybe you can get it back quietly through someone in the future, and now let your father and mother take it openly, and then these belongings will not fall into your own hands.
The father and mother of the Liu family were very happy when they heard this, and when they saw Xiao Tao handed over, it was a very big burden, and Xiao Tao also opened the burden, a number of gold and silver jewelry, a number of gold and silver bills, a number of good clothes, and a number of rewards.
Liu's mother only felt that there was a golden light shining in front of her, and her daughter had only been sold for eight years, how could she save such a large sum of silver. Thinking about it, Mother Liu saluted Xiao Tao and thanked her. Xi Zizi held this burden in his hand, saw his man leaning over here, and spat him: "Why don't you hurry up and get a car, do you want to resist all the way back?" ”
With so much gold and silver, of course, it is safe to go back quickly and hide it. Father Liu smiled in his heart when he thought about it, and walked out quickly. After the Liu family left, the two mothers-in-law asked Xiao Tao: "What did this Lian'er do?" ”
"It's also Lian'er herself who is dizzy, and when the moon letter is a few days late in the winter moon, she thinks she has joy, which is also a common thing. But she shouldn't have done it, when she was having dinner the other day, she brought a bowl of porridge over, and spilled it all over the table. But the prince was holding the little master at that time. The little master was frightened and cried incessantly. The prince was furious, and he was about to ask someone to sell her! It is still a common thing for the young lady to say that the New Year's Festival is a common thing, so she persuaded the prince! ”
The two mothers-in-law nodded again and again when they heard this, and they already sighed, "The young lady who loses is wise, otherwise, the New Year's festival will sell people, and then it will be called an unlucky!" Xiao Tao echoed a few words, and then went back to the house to return to Mrs. Zeng, who sighed after listening: "Hey, it's a trivial matter, your son, you just love my brother too much." But letting her go out for a family reunion is also a good thing! ”
Xiao Tao said yes, and Mrs. Zeng also yawned, sent people back, and took a nap by herself.
Yanran didn't care why Lian'er was taken away, she went all the way to her house, and when she saw the gate of the courtyard, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and just as she was about to reach out and knock on the door, someone jumped up to her: "Hey, I know that I will definitely meet you!" Yan Ran couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied with this voice, and looked up at Cheng Ruiru: "How can you be like you, you don't knock on the door when you get to my door, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm on guard, I want to wait for you!" Cheng Ruiru still said with a smile on her face, and these words made Yanran pull down her face: "Master Cheng, we are different now, you have to tease, you have silver now, you can buy some maids, and tease them one by one!" ”
After saying that, Yanran knocked on the door, and seeing that Yanran was angry, Cheng Ruiru hurriedly stopped her: "Yanran, what I said is sincere, I like you, I like you a long time ago, can you marry me?" Yanran looked up, the sun was still in the sky, look ahead, this is in front of his own door, but what kind of dream is this person talking about? Yan Ran coughed lightly: "Master Cheng, you, don't tease me, I, I want to go home, if you want to visit my father and mother, what do you want to do, please get out of the way!" ”
"Yanran, do you really not believe me?" Seeing that Yanran's little face was so tight, Cheng Ruiru couldn't help but be anxious, and reached out to grab Yanran's hand!
The author has something to say: in ancient times, the rhythm of skipping love and proposing directly was really
