Chapter 29: Diao Nu Xichun
When questioning, Shen'er had already pushed the door in, carrying a large wooden bucket full of hot water.
Xiangdong hurriedly went over to help, took the bucket with his hands and feet, and poured the water inside into the large bathtub behind the screen.
Shen'er went to fetch water again, Xiangdong took out a clean underwear from the cabinet and put it on the edge of the bathtub, and then came back to the same night and said warmly: "Originally, the slave maid and Xichun were going to marry together, but after the young lady got on the wedding sedan chair, the house took care of our yard, and no one was allowed to go out." For this reason, Xichun also cried a lot. ”
"Why is she crying? Is it because I can't marry together, and I'm worried that I will marry alone and there will be no one to wait in Suwangfu? ”
"Miss." Xiangdong was very helpless, "The maid didn't marry in the past to serve the young lady, but to serve the uncle." ”
She remembered that in the old days, men had three wives and four concubines, and in order to consolidate their status, the lady of the main room would usually stuff her personal maid into her husband's house. In this way, she was regarded as a concubine for her husband, and this concubine was also held tightly in her hands because she was her maid.
"The slave didn't want to go, but Xichun wanted to, so as soon as she heard that she wasn't allowed to follow, she made a fuss at that time." Xiangdong sighed softly, "It's best if Miss can come back, Nasu Wangfu is not a good place, and His Royal Highness is not a good person." Although the slave doesn't know what you have experienced this time when you got married, the slave and maid have heard about the matter of the third lady. ”
Shen'er came in to deliver water again, and Xiangdong said to Shen'er while helping to pour the water: "In the future, you will accompany Miss more in the house, and you will keep vigil when Miss sleeps these days." If you don't understand something, just ask me, but remember that no matter what happens, no matter who makes trouble, your only task is to protect Miss. Got it? ”
Shen'er nodded seriously, "Sister Xiangdong, don't worry, I understand that I will definitely be able to protect Miss." ”
The water in the bathtub was finally filled, and Ye Wenyan didn't let the maid wait, and drove everyone out.
The plate of dim sum Xiangdong brought her again, and told her that she would be dizzy if she didn't pad her stomach and soak in hot water, but she couldn't resist it, so she barely ate a piece.
From returning home, to bathing, to changing clothes and going to bed, the maid named Xichun never appeared.
Ye Wenyan remembered that the maid, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked better than Xiangdong and Shen'er, and was also tall. If it weren't for the fact that the original owner himself was born extremely beautiful, leaving such a maid by his side, I am afraid that the brilliance would have been robbed by the maid long ago.
She really couldn't understand what kind of IQ the original owner was, a maid who was worried about filling the house for the sixth prince, could stay by her side for seven or eight years, did she really not see Na Xichun's thoughts, or was she too confident in herself and didn't bother to pay attention to the little subordinates?
There was some pain in the place where the knife had been pierced in the heart, not real pain, but mental.
Ye Wenyan was very helpless, "You understand everything now, what did you think about at the beginning?" Just blindly think that your grandfather treats you well, and everyone in the house treats you well. blindly thinks that he is the master, how can the subordinate have two hearts with the master. But people's hearts are separated from their bellies, silly girl! You see, it's only been a few days, and this Yipin General's Mansion has changed from a molasses pot to a cannibal cave, and we have also been driven from Tianwuxuan to this nameless small courtyard, and even the quilt I covered is so thin that it is not like words. ”
She pulled the quilt up, and her body was cold, no matter how thin the quilt was, there was not much difference between covering it and not covering it.
"You and the emperor died in one day, and you are also the first seven of the emperor's first seven, and I can keep you until the first seven days at most, and it will dissipate after the first seven. So, if you have any wishes, just tell me, I can do what I can for you, and if I can't do it, I will leave it for the future to do it slowly. After all, you have to leave with confidence, leave no regrets, and you can have a good baby in the next life. ”
Her heart ached again, and a voice floated softly in her ears, and she heard it say, "It is my only wish to find out the true cause of my grandfather's and father's death." You are a powerful person, you are stronger than me, I am willing to give you my body and let you live for me. I do not ask you to avenge me, but only to find out the cause of their death and avenge them. ”
She nodded, "Okay, I promise you." ”
The pain was gone, and the voice never sounded again, until Shen'er, who was sleeping outside the vigil, came over and asked her in a low voice, "Miss, are you talking?" ”
She lifted the curtain and said, "Pendant, you hand me a small mirror." Now that it's dawn, I'll take a look at my face first. ”
Shen'er found a mirror on the table and gave it to her, "This should be Miss Five's mirror, you can buy one for a few dozen dollars on the street." I've seen your previous mirrors, which are all studded with precious stones, but they are beautiful. ”
Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, so Shen'er didn't say anything more, handed over the mirror and went back to the outer room.
She illuminated her face through the light outside the window, and she didn't feel that strange.
The appearance of the fourth lady of the First General's Mansion is almost exactly the same as her previous life, except for her clothing and hair length, at least she can't see the difference in this bronze mirror.
Well, it's not completely different, now this face is what she looked like when she was fifteen years old in her previous life, and it was what she looked like when she was still in the night private school.
Night private school! She let out a long sigh, forcing the sourness in her heart to come up.
Some things are in the past, just like grandpa said to her before he died, don't miss it, and don't be carried away by hatred. This is the calamity of the Ye family, and it is also the calamity of the five veins, and it is a road that everyone must take when society develops to that stage. Neither their five veins nor their rulers had a choice.
Therefore, we must face it calmly, and we must also strive to live a good life in the next life.
But how can you not miss it? The night family in her previous life was so good, so good that as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see her father's love and her mother's smile, as well as the playful appearance when the night fell into the city and called her a flower fairy.
However, there is no going back.
She closed her eyes and paid tribute to the fourth lady of the night family who had passed away, and also to her once warm and powerful family.
I slept for a day and a night, and when I woke up again, it was another morning.
Ye Wenyan was woken up, because the yard was small, as long as someone was talking outside, it was as if it was under her window, and she could hear it clearly in the house.
She heard a snarky voice saying Shen'er: "You are just a dust-wiping girl in the eldest lady's house, how can you be qualified to wait in the fourth lady's house." Last night we were too sleepy, so we asked you to keep vigil, but you had to serve tea to the house early in the morning, and this kind of thing that a first-class maid can do, is not your turn. Although our current yard is small, we can't have no rules just because the yard is small. ”
Shen'er was very aggrieved: "Sister Xichun, I'm sorry, I saw that you were still asleep, so I went to serve it, and I really didn't mean to wait in front of Miss." Now that Sister Xichun is awake, let my sister bring it in and give it to Miss Four! At this time, the fourth lady is afraid that she will also wake up, and she can drink it when she wakes up. ”
The voice was cut off for a while, and soon it came again, it was Xichun asking, "What kind of tea is this?" ”
Shen'er said: "It's red date tea." The fourth lady was frozen the day before yesterday, and her face has been bad, so I asked the kitchen for some red dates to cook in the pot. ”
"Who are you listening to?" Xichun snorted, "You haven't waited in Tianwuxuan before, and you don't know the preferences of the fourth lady. Our lady doesn't like to drink jujube tea, so let's change the tea. If you change the water without clear tea, it will fall to this point, so don't be so particular. ”
Shen'er was obviously unhappy, and was still fighting: "It was the eldest lady who instructed the lady to cook some red dates for the young lady." ”
"Do you listen to the eldest lady or the fourth lady? Now that you are from the fourth lady's side, don't think about the previous master. Okay, this tea bubble is all brewed, and it's a pity to pour it. Give me a drink, we can't afford to waste this stuff right now. ”
Xu is Xichun left with tea, and after a while, Shen'er was talking to another person: "Sister Xiangdong, I begged for a long time to get a little bit of those red dates." If it weren't for some friendship with a mother-in-law in the kitchen in the past, people wouldn't dare to give it to us. But you see, the young lady didn't drink a sip, so she let Sister Xichun take it away, what is this called? ”
Xiangdong sighed, "I'll go and persuade her, you go to the kitchen to see if you can ask for some more red dates, I also saw that Miss had a bad face yesterday." If this had been put aside, the bird's nest would have been served a long time ago, but now I have to ask others for even the idea of red dates. That's it, this time is different from the past, let's bear with it, don't let the young lady get angry, go quickly! ”
"Where are you going?" Ye Wenyan's door opened, and she put on a coat and stood at the door, "You don't have to go anywhere, since the red dates have been cooked, there is no reason to cook them again." Since there are people in our courtyard who are willing to drink jujube tea, then be generous and come to me to drink it. She instructed Xiangdong, "Go and call Xichun to my house." Look at the pendant again, "You come in and wait for me to freshen up." ”
Xiangdong was stunned for a while, as if he didn't understand what Ye Wenyan meant, but he quickly reacted to chase Xichun, leaving Shen'er to follow Ye Wenyan into the house and wait for her to freshen up.
When the comb was combed on the head for the fourth time, Xichun arrived. Although she is also wearing plain clothes, because of her tall figure and slender waist, even plain clothes make her wear a different charm.
She happily saluted Ye Wen: "Miss, are you up?" The slave still wanted you to sleep a little longer, so she didn't come to disturb her. Let the slave wait for the young lady to comb her hair, the slave knows best what kind of hairstyle the young lady likes. ”
As he spoke, he was about to come over and snatch the comb in his hand, but was stopped by Ye Wenyan, "Now that the national mourners and family mourners are all together, what hairstyle can you comb out?" It's just a comb, feel free to tie your hair in a bun, and you don't need to get started yourself. It's the red date tea, Xichun, if you don't drink it again, it's going to be cold......"
