Chapter 4: A Sudden Change
The Neon Dress Pavilion, Hua Qianshu has heard of it before.
It is said that the current Queen Mother rewarded the six dancing girls at the night banquet to live in the Neon Dress Pavilion.
Where there are women, it is inevitable that there are many rights and wrongs, especially a few women who are trying their best to compete for favor, and there are often disputes over trivial matters. The old lady sent a powerful woman in front of her to live in the neon dress hall, called the next person, in fact, to control them.
The guards led her around into a courtyard shaded by green trees, handed her over to a black-faced woman, whispered a few words, and then returned.
This black-faced mother-in-law is the Yan mother-in-law that Shicai Yefang said in his mouth, about forty or fifty years old, skinny, eyebrows and thin lips, and a sharp face.
Mrs. Yan looked at her from head to toe with an extremely critical gaze, opened the suitcase, and picked out a set of rough clothes for her subordinates, groaned slightly, felt that it was inappropriate, and put it back again, changed it, threw it on her body, and snorted lightly at the end of her nose.
"Since the prince personally brought you back to the house, I will reward you with a good errand and go to Aunt Qianyue's courtyard to serve you closely and be a rough girl. Change your clothes and come with me. ”
Hua Qianshu did as she said, finally cleaned up, washed away the blood and mud stains on her face, wrapped the changed clothes, and followed behind Yan Pozi without saying a word, and entered the backyard.
The sky was already dark, and the boxy walls, blue bricks, pavilions, swings, bonsai flower stands, and neat six-row courtyards were partitioned by moon gates.
The six-room concubine was confined to this one-third of an acre, day after day, and for a lifetime.
Glancing at Yan Pozi's disdain for herself, Hua Qianshu felt a little relieved.
She is afraid to see the night release, complex and contradictory, if she can be a humble girl serving tea and water, even if she is called to drink, it is better than in front of the night release, all the time does not seem to be as heavy as Mount Tai.
Non-aggression and irrelevance are probably the best way for two people to get along.
The two walked along the bluestone road and stood still in front of the last moon gate, and Yan Pozi shouted twice at the top of her voice.
There was silence in the courtyard.
Yan Pozi raised her voice again, and she was impatiently angry: "Walnut, you stinky girl, your master is sick and not waiting in front of you, and you are itchy and lazy, aren't you?"
"Mama Yan!"
Someone behind him trotted all the way in a panic when he heard the sound, sprinkled a pair of wet hands, and explained breathlessly: "My aunt won't let me guard in front of me." I wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no fire in the kitchen and reheat her food. ”
Walnut, a little girl, has a pair of big round eyes, a fleshy nose, and a kind and pleasing face.
Mrs. Yan snorted angrily: "I heard that Qianyue's body is not strong today, and she has been stuffy in the house for a day without eating or drinking, and her body is better now? ”
Walnut's neck shrank unconsciously: "I got up at the right time, and I changed into clean clothes, and I was much more energetic." ”
Mrs. Yan pointed at Hua Qianshu: "The other aunts are two serving girls in front of them, and there has been a vacancy in your yard, so I didn't deliberately ask another girl to come over." ”
Walnut smiled happily at Hua Qianshu, and said crisply, "Hello sister".
The smile was very friendly and pure, and Hua Qianshu suddenly had a good impression, and nodded with a smile.
Yan Pozi Nunu mouthed: "Just go in and take a look at Aunt Qianyue, and explain by the way." ”
Walnut walked in front with an eyesight, and shouted excitedly: "Auntie, Mama Yan has come to see you." ”
There was such a movement at the door, but the people in the room were indifferent, still quiet, and there was no movement.
Walnut went to push the door, but the door was tied from the inside, and it didn't move.
"Auntie, aunt!"
Walnut patted the door strangely.
Hua Qianshu glanced at the courtyard curiously, and when she looked up, she was almost gone.
Through the thin layer of window paper, candlelight shines through and is reflected on the window. A piece of paper figure was suspended in the air, swaying leisurely.
This scene looks extremely weird, permeated with a faint cold air, and it is close to people's internal organs.
Yan Pozi, who was standing one step ahead, crooked, almost fell to the ground, and her body swung straight in fright, as if a round egg was stuck in her throat and eyes.
Hua Qianshu had already reacted at this time, stepped forward in two steps, pulled away the walnuts, kicked them down with all his strength, and the door of the house opened.
A woman hung on the beams of the room, dressed as white as snow, swaying gently with the incoming night wind.
The walnut that followed behind him immediately erupted into a frightened scream.
Without hesitation, Hua Qianshu kicked the overturned pestle on the ground, stepped on and picked up the suicide woman, and rescued her.
Yan Pozi followed up tremblingly, and reminded in a trembling voice: "Quick, quickly pinch the middle of the person, rub your heart, and see if there is help?"
Hua Qianshu looked down, and his heart sank, this shallow moon was not suffocation, but a broken neck, and it was already a lack of surgery.
Seeing that she was stunned and not moving, Yan Pozi rushed up directly, reached out to pinch the middle of the person, and then rubbed her heart in a hurry.
After some tossing, the woman's clothes were scattered, and Yan Pozi's hand slammed suddenly, as if she saw a snake and scorpion beast, and immediately covered her collar in a panic.
After being stunned for a moment, she muttered dejectedly: "This is so good, served in fine clothes and food, how many people can't envy it, why can't you think about it? How can this be good? How can I explain it to the old lady!"
Walnut finally understood that her aunt had returned to the West, and immediately cried bitterly.
Walnut Shicai's exclamation had already alarmed the people in the yard, and when he saw this scene, he immediately understood what was going on, and the exclamations came and went.
"Shut up for me!" Yan Pozi scolded irritably: "It's a big night, don't you want to disturb the old lady?"
Mrs. Yan has always been powerful, and she relied on the old lady, and the warbler Yanyan at the door immediately closed her mouth, and waited until the shock calmed down for a while, and then she lowered her voice and whispered.
"Asatsuki, this ...... There were still people talking and laughing yesterday, why did they suddenly commit suicide?"
"Do you need to say it? Qianyue has a soft temperament, and she doesn't dare to squeak when she a needle, so you can be bullied by others, and you haven't shown your face in front of the prince for more than a month. She swallowed her anger for a long time, and naturally she had nothing to love. ”
This is said in an extremely snarky manner, as crisp as a cucumber. It was a tall man with sharp eyebrows and eyes who spoke.
"It's endless!" Mrs. Yan, who had been silent, stood up "poof", walked straight to the crying walnut who wiped her tears, and raised her arm, which was a fierce slap.
"Smack!"
Yan Pozi is lean, but her strength is not small, Walnut was directly slapped by her and couldn't stand, she took two steps back, and was stunned.
Everyone was also caught off guard and looked at each other.
Yan Pozi rubbed the tears in her palm on her body in disgust, pointed to the walnuts and scolded: "You little hoof who lacks heart, I have told you many times, so that you can serve your aunt for a long time." It's good for you, don't talk about being lazy and slack, I'm afraid that you will still be angry with her everywhere, forcing your aunt to commit suicide by hanging herself, a wicked slave!"
