Because Zhang Erzhen sent the letter early, the people and horses sent there quickly rushed there, saw the scene of the fight where the corpses were strewn, and quickly found the bandits' lair, and because the officers and soldiers arrived too early, the bandits were caught off guard, the stolen goods were not divided, and the violence did not start, so they quickly locked up Jin Zhiniang and began to fight with the officers and soldiers in a panic. Before the fight was finished here, there was another large group of people over there, and two groups of bandits ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, and the remaining team was uprooted, and the nest was lifted, and a large number of silver jewelry was found before the bandits had time to clean up. The story should be happy at this point, after all, Jin Zhiniang's innocence has been preserved. But when Steward Jin opened the door of the room where Jin Zhiniang was being held, Jin Zhiniang was already dead, neatly dressed, hanging on the beams of the room, and the maid Zisu fainted and fell unconscious.

Jin Zhiniang lay thin on the shelf, covered with a thin layer of pure white silk blanket, from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. The powder-blue embroidered shoes still had some dirt on them, presumably stained by the bandits when they were pushing them up the mountain. Jin Zhiniang has always been a neat woman, Zhang Erzhen remembered that when there was a little ink on the hem of her brocade dress, she told Shisu to throw away the dress, and now she wears such a pair of shoes, but she no longer complains......

Zhang Erzhen recalled the last time Jin Zhiniang looked at her, it turned out that it was not resentful and helpless, but relieved and free, maybe she wanted to tell Zhang Erzhen that she didn't come to save her, it wasn't worth it......

Everyone ignored how deep Jin Zhiniang's feelings were for that Yusheng who was called Jusheng, and Jusheng married her another, Jin Zhiniang's emotional belief collapsed, and there was no hope of even living. Grandmother Zhao fainted crying beside Jin Zhiniang, maybe she wouldn't have guessed that her favorite daughter would leave under such an excuse......

The people of the Jin Mansion were immersed in the grief of Jin Zhiniang's death, and naturally ignored the fact that the eldest girl's daughter-in-law came to the mansion as a guest. It wasn't until Jin Zhiniang's funeral was over that everyone remembered such a person in a trance, and at this time Zhang Erzhen was lying in bed with a high fever to recuperate.

Zhang Erzhen blamed herself very much because of Jin Zhiniang's death, and she drove a horse for a long time before she fell into a severe wind chill, and she was very lightheaded.

The courtyard where Zhang Erzhen rested was prepared by his grandmother Zhao before, called "Listening to the Wind Pavilion". The courtyard is about the same size as the butterfly courtyard, with an ear room on each side and a hugging house for a while. It was late autumn, and there was a bleak situation everywhere, Zhang Erzhen was lying on the bed weakly and sighed, she was really sick and troubled this year, and what strange and strange and terrifying things made her catch up.

The person who delivered the medicine to Zhang Erzhen was a woman in her forties, wearing a blue-gray placket jacket, with a square face, sharp eyes, and a pair of fat hands holding a dark wood-colored plate, on which a porcelain blue wide-mouth medicine bowl and a small blue and white gold silk edge porcelain bowl were held.

"What about my nurse, who is my mother, why bothered you to bring tea and water, but the people in my courtyard here are lazy, and I have to reprimand them vigorously. Zhang Erzhen slept for another day, her body was very lazy and she couldn't keep up any energy, so she sat up with the help of the woman and took a small bite of medicine.

"The slave maid is Madame Feng's mother who sent to serve the cousin girl, Madame has assigned a few other girls to serve, come in-" Feng's mother explained with a smile in a rough voice, turned her head and shouted to the door, and came in with the sound Two girls wearing long cotton jackets of the same green willow color, about twelve or thirteen years old, combed in a general double bun, one with a slightly round face, looking at the ground with low eyebrows, and the other with slightly dark skin, looked at Zhang Erzhen. Mother Feng continued: "This one is Yunxiang and the other is Lingzhi, both of which are good girls in the lady's courtyard. The lady said that the few who served the cousin did not know the rules and did not know the etiquette, so they would go to her courtyard to learn the rules and etiquette first, and then serve the cousin well when they came back. ”

After Feng's mother finished speaking, the two maids knelt down together and waited to listen to Zhang Erzhen's reprimand and teaching.

...... Zhang Erzhen vaguely remembered that she had eaten the fresh and tender sugar steamed cheese steamed by the nurse herself yesterday, why did she disappear at this time. Looking at Mother Feng's shrewd eyebrows, and then at the slender necks of the two girls, she waved her hand to signal them to go down for a while, and said, "I have taken the medicine and still have to sleep for a while, you go down and get busy, don't disturb my rest." ”

Mother Feng smiled and said: "My cousin wants to rest and rest by herself, if they dare to make a little noise to disturb your rest, just drag it out and give it a beating." In the houses of large families, the first-class maids are all close servants. There are also two second-class maids outside who are responsible for the wearing of the cousin girl, and two third-class maids who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping in the courtyard......" shaking the muscles on his face to introduce the courtesy, and pulling Yun Xiang's collar vigorously to make her closer to the cousin.

Zhang Erzhen put down the medicine bowl, put one hand on the low table next to the bed, and stroked her forehead with the other and wondered: "Oh, grandmother sent so many people to serve me?

"Cousin, you can do whatever you want. ”

"I said I'm going to sleep now, and you're all going down—" Zhang Erzhen took a candied fruit from a small porcelain bowl with blue and white gold silk edges to eat, and wrapped her body tightly in the warm dark red Su embroidered gold brocade quilt, leaving a black fat back of her head for Feng's mother. Mother Feng glanced at the two maids who were still kneeling on the ground, waved her hand and twisted her waist and went out.

Zhang Erzhen opened her eyes and looked at the beaded silk curtain, her mind full of things. She was really sick this time, she was weak and couldn't make up her strength, and she finally got better after seven or eight days in Jinfu, and then the nurse and two months were taken away. She is isolated now, and there is a seemingly shrewd Mother Feng running to serve, I don't know what her grandmother is going to do-

Without Mingyue by her side, she is always a little uncomfortable. Zhang Erzhen raised for a few more days, and her body gradually improved, and she should exercise often in the future, the ancients did not have a long lifespan, so if she continued like this, she would die early. Feng's mother is a leader in delivering news, Zhang Erzhen just ran off the medicine here, and reported it to Mrs. Jin Zhao knew that Zhao's side had a message to ask her cousin to go to Fangdui Courtyard early in the morning to ask for peace.

Zhang Erzhen sat lazily on the lihuamu chaise longue, squinting at the clothes that Feng's mother was going to use tomorrow. Feng's mother obviously didn't have any good intentions, or was ordered to have bad intentions, and ordered the two first-class girls to bring four pieces of clothes for Zhang Erzhen to pick out. One is a brick-red cardigan jacket with a soft mat bright blue and white long skirt mopping the floor, it is obvious that there is a huge problem with color matching, not that there is a saying - red with green, dog fart; one is a simple satin jacket with no embroidered flowers on the top and bottom; one is a water-red festive and cute and energetic little bijia covered with a red long skirt, and the last one, Zhang Erzhen glanced away and looked away, such a thick cotton jacket is not a joke when worn out.

"The cousin's clothes and belongings have been snatched away by those bandits who have made trouble, and you have been sick these days and have not had time to make new clothes, these are all not worn by the girl in the house, can the cousin look suitable?" Feng's mother was full of anger in her speech, like a big leader in a meeting, pointing to the gray-brown cotton jacket and said: "The cousin girl is recovering from a serious illness, so it is better to dress warmly." ”
