On the second day, I opened my eyes on the warm bed, and Xiao Dou waited with hot water.

"You helped me in last night?" I sat up with my drowsy head on my shoulder.

Xiao Dou blushed and shook his head: "The slaves and maids were drunk last night, and they all just got up. ”

"Really? What about the fat girl? ”

"Sister Fat went to Si Yi to get her robe. Yesterday I met the people at the boss's clothes on the road, and they said that a set of the noble lady's robes had been prepared. ”

"This girl is really anxious."

After I freshened up, I was bored and leaned over the desk and looked at the needlework in the lacquer box. After all these days, I sewed the collar of several coarse linen shorts brought by the fat girl, and made a bunch of various sachets and handkerchiefs. Trapped in Baili Mansion every day, except for female celebrities or female celebrities, do you have to continue to live such days?

The war between Qin, Jin, and Wu is about to break out, when will Lan Ji come to kill me? Will the beast-faced man come to see me? I was idle on the surface, but in my heart I was already in a hurry, and I couldn't wait to rush back to the general's mansion immediately.

"Look, lady! I've got the robe back for you. The fat girl walked in with a lacquer box painted red with the dancer's feast pattern, her face beaming, and she spoke louder than usual.

I glanced lazily and pointed, "Well, put it there!" ”

"Why don't you open it and take a look? The slave maid had a sneak look just now, and this robe was really beautiful. The fat girl held the lacquer box in front of me, "Or, noble girl, you try it first?" Lo and behold, the strap on this dress is also equipped with a jade hook. ”

"What are you going to do with it?" I glanced at the belt that the fat girl was holding in her hand, the jade belt hook of the Luan bird and the flower, which was beautiful and beautiful, but it looked a little tacky.

At this time, the maidservant Ping suddenly rushed in from outside the door, shouting as she ran: "My noblewoman's carriage has passed the temple, and the mistress asked us to go to the gate of the house to greet us!" ”

"The Red Medicine Lady is back?" I stood up, straightened my moon-white collared deep coat, and took a blue lotus-colored robe from my hand, "Okay, let's go!" ”

"Noble girl, this is too plain!" Seeing that I had already walked to the door, the fat girl hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of my robe and said urgently, "Put on new clothes and go again!" Didn't the housewife of Baili Mansion think your clothes were too plain last time! ”

"When I met your lady for the first time today, how could I steal her style? That's fine. I patted the fat girl's hand, lifted the hem of my skirt and walked out quickly.

Before I arrived at the gate of the house, I happened to see the beauty Shao and several other concubines walking towards me, and I stepped forward and owed a debt.

Meiren Shao walked up to me with a smile: "Why did you come so early?" ”

"Today, the noble girl returns home, how dare Ah Shi be late."

"It's really a clever one, with a clever hand and a clever heart." The beauty smiled and walked side by side with me towards the gate, "Who did you learn from your female worker, a few of us were still talking just now, the sachet you sent the day before yesterday was better than the ladies in this house." ”

"If the concubines like it, Ah Shi will embroider a few more squares of handkerchiefs and send them over another day."

"It's cold, and it's eye-consuming, don't bother us. In the days to come, you'll be busy! Mei Renshao patted my hand and said with a smile.

"Sister Shao really knows how to be a person, and she has become so close to the newcomer in just a few days. If the husband knows, he must blame the two of us for not knowing how to be hospitable. As soon as Mei Ren Shao's words fell, the other concubine standing beside her couldn't help but speak.

"The two sisters have been working hard for the noble daughter's dowry recently, and the younger sister can't help much, so I'm really ashamed." The beauty Shao Yingying replied with a salute.

This beauty Shao was originally just a maiko in the palace Si Le Fang, and there were a lot of troubles because of her love with Dr. Baili. Now, although she is a concubine in the palace, her status is still one level lower than that of the other two concubines from the scholar family.

"You're the daughter of the General's Mansion?" Behind the two concubines, a young girl wearing a ginger red edge curly robe suddenly walked out, she walked around me, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, it's not enough, the rumors are not credible." ”

"Zhi, don't be rude." Concubine Youxin stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hand, took her behind her, and then bowed slightly to me and said, "Ah Zhi is young and doesn't know how to be polite, please don't mind the girl." ”

"Mother, why are you so polite to her! If it weren't for her, I would be the one who accompanied my eldest sister to get married! Ah Zhi shook off her mother's hand, jumped in front of me in a few steps, and said sharply: "Why did you, a demon girl turned into a mountain ghost, steal my place?" You can fool your father, you can't fool me, pariah! ”

"Ah Zhi, shut up!" Concubine Youxin looked at me nervously and shouted.

"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense! Her eyes are strange and charming, so let her father get rid of her! ”

"Who is this trying to get rid of?" A few steps away, Ran Huan walked up from the steps with a group of servants.

"Mistress!" Without waiting for Ah Zhi to speak, the concubine Youxin hurriedly greeted her, "Children's nonsense, don't blame the main mother!" ”

Ran Huan glanced at Youxin in the concubine's room, and scolded coldly: "When is it your turn to point fingers in this mansion?" Standing at the door of the house and shouting, I don't know how to be polite at all, this is the good daughter you taught? ”

"The concubine has no way to teach her daughter, please ask the master mother to confess!" The concubine Youxin was like a mouse seeing a cat in front of Ran Ying, her whole face was frightened and snow-white, and she fell to her knees with a pop.

"Mother, it's not Zhi's nonsense. There are many suspicious things on this Wu clan girl, please check it out! Ah Zhi put away the anger on her face and knelt pitifully beside her mother.

"You are still young, and your father and I plan to keep you for two more years. Who did you just hear those words from? But your uncle taught you again? Ran Huan looked at Ah Zhi with a smile, and Ah Zhi muttered a few words and nodded.

Ran Ying suddenly put away his smile and said to the concubine: "Your sister can find a good backer for your family." Let the daughter of the Wu clan marry with the red medicine, which is the meaning of the husband. Did Lou Lin think that if he got the favor of the prince, he would be able to climb on my Baili's head? Come, take their mother and daughter to the room and lock them up, and punish them when the head of the house returns. ”

"No!" The two old grandmothers behind Ran Huan quickly pulled up the two people who were kneeling on the ground.

When Ah Zhi passed by me, she did not hide her jealous eyes, her eyes were like a dagger to cut through the mystery that had lingered in my heart for a long time, revealing its bloody truth.

I'm Red Medicine's concubine.

I am the instrument of the alliance between the Barrys and the Woo clan.
