Chapter 18: Sold into slavery

Faced with her grandmother's question, Rouge blushed.

Rouge got up, walked up to Liu, grabbed Liu's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, what do you say?" Where is there any favorite man, don't listen to Aunt Yulan's nonsense. ”

Liu didn't eat this set, and after listening to what Rouge said, he grasped the point: "Yulan knows? Well? Rouge, do you really have a man you like? ”

"No, not really."

"Then why did Aunt Yulan say that you have a man you like?"

"Hey, why is Aunt Yulan like this, she won't let her say it."

"Is that there?"

Zhou Rongyin naturally heard that Liu was cheating rouge, and rouge was in a hurry for a while and didn't notice it. opened his mouth: "Rouge, tell me which noble son it is, we will help you with the staff." ”

Hazy also echoed on the side, Zhao Zijun was not easy to talk about his cousin who was also his sister-in-law, and he was still blushing from what happened just now, so he looked for a grease and slipped away.

Rouge also reacted at this time: "Grandmother, you are really a bad person, where did my grandmother say such a thing about her granddaughter, and she still talked about Aunt Yulan, I almost had to go back to Aunt Yunlan to ask for clarification." ”

"It's not because of you, you're so old, it's time to plan to get married."

As soon as Rouge heard this, he knew that Liu's daily nagging was coming again, so in order to avoid a headache for a while, it was better to go first.

"Grandmother, I just remembered, I rescued a girl yesterday, and I don't know if I'm awake or not, I'll go back and see Ha first, and then come to talk to my grandmother and aunt when I have time."

After speaking, he winked at the hazy, and slipped away like Zhao Zijun.

Hazy shook his head helplessly, this rouge's temperament is really too jumpy.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the hall: Liu, Rongyin and Hazy Ancestor's grandmother and daughter-in-law. Liu Shi and Rongyin seized the opportunity to naturally instill in the hazy about the precautions during the fetal rearing, and the hazy listening was dizzy, and they were about to be unable to stand it.

Rouge went back to her yard and looked at the girl she had rescued yesterday.

When I walked into the house, I saw that the girl was very weak, and she was leaning on the bed at this time, and Magnolia was feeding her medicine.

"Girl, how are you feeling, are you feeling better?"

The little girl, when she saw Rouge, struggled to get out of bed, but was stopped by Rouge.

"You don't have to be so polite, don't move, it's important to take care of your body."

"Thank you Miss for saving your life, I lost Miss yesterday, otherwise I might not be in this world."

"What do you say, drink the medicine first, and then talk after drinking the medicine."

Under the care of Magnolia, the little girl finished drinking the medicine.

Rouge sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with her.

"Girl, what's your name? How old is it? How could he be so seriously injured and almost lost his life. ”

"My name is Song Xinxi, and I am fourteen years old this year. My father is the pungent Song Da on the street, there are four people in my family, my father and mother, and an older brother. My dad likes to gamble, but he is unlucky, he almost never wins, and every time he loses money and comes back, he takes out his anger at our mother and son. Later, my brother secretly ran out to sign up for the army, thinking that he could send some money home every month, but my father used the money to gamble again. Later, the family really had no money, so my father gave my mother to the casino, and I heard that she was sold to the army. A few days ago, my father heard that the son of the housekeeper of the Chu Mansion was going to marry him, so he wanted me to go. I didn't want to, so he stabbed me with a knife. ”

After Song Xin finished speaking, tears couldn't stop falling. Seeing Song Xinxi crying, Rouge simply didn't know what to do.

"Don't cry, now that you are at my house, you will not be wronged, don't cry."

Song Xinxi slowly stopped crying, got out of bed regardless of rouge's obstruction, knelt on the floor, and kowtowed: "Miss, thank you for your life-saving grace, please Miss have mercy on me, don't send me back, I don't want to be worthy of a secret marriage." I should have heard Aunt Yulan say that it was Miss who saved me, please be merciful and don't send me away. ”

When Rouge heard this, he didn't know what to do: "Why don't I send you back?" But that's your house. ”

"That's not my home at all, I will definitely be taken by him to marry when I go back."

"You don't have to worry about this, Chu Chengda has been kicked out by the Chu family, and he won't let you go to the underworld marriage again."

"Miss, my father is like that, I really don't want to go back, I am willing to sell myself to Miss, and I will serve Miss in the future."

"Selling?" Rouge was surprised, generally those who were sold into slavery were ruined and had nowhere to go, but this Song still had a home, although this family...

Yulan, who was standing on the side, heard that Song Xinxi was going to sell herself into slavery, and she was also an accident, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

"Miss, I want to stay with Miss and serve Miss, please be kind to Miss."

"Are you really willing to stay with me and sell yourself into slavery? You have to think clearly, this has become a slave, and if nothing else, it can't be changed in a lifetime. ”

"I am willing, I am willing to serve the young lady for the rest of my life."

"You don't have to think about it, discuss it with your brother?"

"No, if my brother knew that it was Miss who saved me, he would definitely support it."

"Okay, in that case, you can stay with me in the future. How about I change your name? Your name is pity, your heart is pity, it's not good. ”

"Okay, slave maid, please give the lady a name."

"How about calling it Yixiang, Yiren is like incense, okay?"

"Okay, slave and maid Miss Xie give me the name."

"You take good care of your illness, and when you get better, follow Aunt Yulan to learn the rules and come to serve me."

After saying that, Rouge got up and left, followed by Yulan, leaving a little maid to take care of it.

When she returned to the house, Yulan was a little puzzled why Rouge promised Song Xinxi, accepted her into the house, and gave her a name.

"Miss, why did you agree so easily, what if that girl had any bad intentions? We don't know where she came from. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I asked Zhao Xi to check this matter yesterday, what happened to Yixiang is true, you don't have to worry. Besides, I also need to train a personal maid! ”

"Miss thinks that the maids below are not sincere enough, and I will go to reprimand them in a while."

"No, auntie, don't worry, I saved Yi Xiang's life, she is naturally grateful to me, and she will be very heartfelt if she will follow me to serve in the future, Zhao Xi has investigated, Yi Xiang is a good girl."

Yulan heard that Rouge had sent someone to investigate privately, and she was still sent by the Zhao family's personal guards, so she was relieved that there would be no mistake.

In the main hall of the Zhao Mansion, Liu and Rongyin were still chattering, taboos in women's pregnancy.

"Hazy, you are the first child, so you can raise it well, but you also have to exercise properly, it is not easy for a woman to give birth to her first child. I gave birth to a son, but I was born for a whole day and a night. ”

"Yes, you must pay attention to exercise, there are many spices that women can't touch during pregnancy, don't use those fat powders of yours, I will ask Mama to buy you some fat powder that pregnant women can use later."

"Also, hazy, the first trimester of pregnancy is the most critical, you and Zijun must not have sex together, do you know?"

Hazy originally had a headache when she heard this, but when she heard Zhou Rongyin's words, she was a lot more sober, her face was hot, she lowered her head, and whispered: "Got it, mother." ”

Zhou Rongyin saw that she was hazy embarrassed, and continued to speak, her voice was indeed a little smaller.

"The first trimester, which was very critical, was also very slippery. Hazy, you have to keep it in mind, no matter how Zijun begs, don't agree. He'll be back in a minute, and I'll tell him more. ”

"Mother, no need, I'll tell him when I go back, I remember everything."

Liu smiled and said, "Hazy, have you remembered everything?" But be careful, I'll send an experienced grandmother to your yard to serve you. ”

"I remember it all, Grandmother Xie."

Rouge was in his room at this time, listening to Zhao Xi's report.

"Miss, yesterday's Chu Gongzi Chu Wushuang is the second son of the Chu family's big house, and his biological mother used to be a maid, and her status is very low. Once after the uncle of the Chu family was drunk and had a good time with Chu Gongzi's biological mother, his biological mother became pregnant with him. Because of this, they were jealous of the county lord of Jingya, and the status of their mother and son in the Chu family was very low. ”

After listening to Zhao Xi's words, Rouge remembered the disdain and contempt that Chu Chengda had when he saw Chu Wushuang yesterday. "I see, no wonder Chu Wushuang's observation is so strong, come to think of it, living in such a back house, you can't do it without some ability."

Regarding these things in the back house, although the Zhao family has a simple population, Liu and Zhou Rongyin's teaching of Rouge has not been relaxed because of this. A woman with a noble status like Rouge will inevitably be hired as the wife of the family, in charge of the feed, and presiding over the housework, which must be learned, and the battle in the back house is naturally indispensable.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that my mother Zhao Yunmeng, how could she collapse because she gave birth to herself, and it was not the first time she gave birth. I heard Aunt Yulan say that her mother ate ice watermelon to start premature birth, and the cause of this will be found out one day.

Over the years, since the Zhao family moved to Peizhou, Rouge has never seen the Zuo family again. When his sister Hazy and Zhao Zijun got married, Zuo Quanhan was busy because his baby son was stirring up trouble in the capital, and he didn't even come to participate in the marriage of his eldest daughter under the pretext that he was not in danger.

Rouge and Hazy have grown up under the knees of Zhao Changqing and Zhao Yunchen all these years, and they are naturally not close to the Zuo family, and they don't feel anything. Therefore, the sisters' grandmother, the old lady of the Zuo family, passed away, and Rouge did not go, but hazy because of the identity of the eldest granddaughter and Zhao Zijun went back to attend the funeral.

Rouge has some admiration for Chu Wushuang, in such a family environment, he can still be so literate, and his knowledge and himself are not allowed to be too much, I am afraid that he has also put in a lot of effort.

Rouge's knowledge was taught by Zhao Changqing alone, and even Zhao Zijun's well-read books had to bow down in front of Rouge. And that Chu Wushuang could actually tie with himself.

Yesterday's last riddle, it was clear that he had won, but in fact, I am afraid that Chu Wushuang had conceded.

After talking to Zhao Xi for a while, I saw that it was time to eat lunch at noon.

Rouge still had one more thing to discuss with her grandmother, so she took the maid to Liu's residence first.
