Different from the glorious blessing in Prince Jia's mansion is a remote mansion on the west side of the capital, which can be seen from the mottled and faded vermilion gate, an old-fashioned mansion, a master who belongs to the marginalized children of the Eight Banners in this capital, even if there is a business, it is just a family that passes the time and lives in a mixed life.

When he landed, there was a crisp sound of whipping from inside the door.

The voice of "popping ......" was by no means cold, and the beaten woman gritted her teeth and refused to bow her head, a pair of jade hands were white and slender, and there was no blood at all, allowing the whip to hit her body hard, and the hot pain made her sweat, and it did not reduce her arrogance at all.

It really doesn't fit in with the "Button House" on this slightly yellowed plaque.

"Say, are you wrong?" Holding a long whip in his hand, he glared angrily at the kneeling woman in a smoky purple trimmed magnolia ornament. The more silent the woman, the more arrogant Gong Ala becomes, this usually Gong Ala is a kind person praised by everyone, and it is not someone else who can make him so angry today, it is precisely his concubine Niu Colu, who Gong Ala regards as a treasure. Jing's wife.

On the right side of Jing Wu is also kneeling a girl in green clothes, Xiangluo. Xiangluo looked at the back of the young lady with tears in her eyes, she wanted to suffer for the young lady when the old man beat the young lady several times, but she also knew the young lady's temper, everything else was fine, but no one could carry this matter for her.

"Amma, don't be angry, isn't the eldest sister worried about Eniang?" He Shitai is now a little taller than Jingwu, and the thin figure always makes people feel too thin.

But this time he also circled around like a man.

He Shitai saw that Ama was angry, so he had to squat down and hold Jing's arm, and hurriedly persuaded, "Eldest sister, just admit your mistake, Ama loves you the most, don't be angry!" ”

"What's wrong with me, it's Eniang's life-saving money, and no one can touch it!" In half a day, Jing finally opened her mouth, but it made Gong Ala, who was originally a little angry, feel angry again.

"Okay, I'll see if it's your bones or my whip ???" Gong Alla hasn't moved so much for a few years, and he is angry and impatient.

Just as the whip was about to fall on Jing's back, a weak voice sounded outside the hall.

"Stop! Master, don't beat your daughter-in-law......" Gong Ala's wife, Wang Jiashi, moved over with difficulty with the support of Jing Ji and the maid Jade.

The tears on Jing Jiao's face have not been wiped away, looking at her mother and then at her eldest sister, thinking about herself, she feels aggrieved. A sentence flashed in my mind: Why do they have to live such a life?

Gong Alla saw Youlan walking so weakly, like a deflated balloon, and hurriedly reached out to hug her.

When the old man came, Jade stepped aside with interest. "Didn't you let you have a good rest, why did you get up again?" Gong Alla really couldn't stop her, and his face was full of guilt.

"You hit her, that's killing me......" Youlan said bitterly, tears already in her eyes.

Jing Wu also turned around at this moment, looking at Eniang's appearance, she felt very uncomfortable. I only hated myself for not being able to protect my mother.

"E-Niang......" Jing Wu knelt, secretly wiped away her tears, squeezed out a smile, and couldn't let E-niang worry.

Youlan's face became more and more pale, this family, how could she rest assured?

Youlan had six children. Jing Wu is the second in line, and she is seventeen years old this year. There is also an elder brother named Ning Wutai, the second sister is called Jingjiao, thirteen this year, the younger brother is named He Shitai, five years younger than her, and the younger sister is only four years old, because of the youngest, called Jing'er, and the mother is the most reluctant to mention the younger brother who has not been by his side so far, after being born this year, because of the large number of people in the family, he passed to his uncle Shushan, who is one year older than Jingwen. Youlan's body was already weak, and she didn't take care of it well, and now she is sick for three days.

Her greatest wish is to be able to watch several children start a family.

It's just that Youlan has little discipline to Ning Wutai due to physical reasons, and Gong Ala is not a strict father, so Ning Wutai slowly developed the appearance of being unsuccessful and self-motivated, and he ignores his family on weekdays, and will come back when he needs money to pretend to be cold and warm for a few days, which also makes Gong Ala and Youlan heartbroken.

And although He Shitai is five years younger than Jingwen, he has already tasted the bitterness of life. He talks about filial piety, understands etiquette, is willing to be motivated, and also knows that in this capital full of dignitaries and nobles, he is really a humble family and his future will not help much, he has been studying hard and practicing riding and archery, so he can be regarded as a sensible and motivated teenager.

Because Jing Ji is a girl, she is quite pampered, and she is a little arrogant. Jing is only four years old, just a fun-loving age, Youlan and Gong Alla are not very restrained to her, a few brothers and sisters will help a little, and her personality should be the most lively and laughing among the five children.

Three years ago, his brother Ning Wutai fought with others because of money and provoked trouble, and was forced to go home with debts and chased to the street.

What made people shake their heads at Ning Wutai was that as soon as he saw that he had caused trouble, he pulled out his legs and fled, leaving behind such a stumbling home.

Finally, I have filled in the loopholes in the past few years, and life is a little better.

"Sir, what can be wrong with the children? It's us, it's us who don't have the ability to give them the life they want......" Youlan glanced at the three children one by one, and always felt sorry for them.

Youlan's words were like a blow to the head, and Gong Ala's heart was tired, yes, what qualifications does he have to hit a child?

A few years ago, Jin Ye talked to Gong Ala, seeing that the children were all older, Jing Wu was a concubine, and he Niu Hulu was on the three banners and had to participate in the draft. Ning Wutai doesn't seek to be motivated, but he can't always be so idle, and Shitai is a good seedling, and he can't delay the child, as well as Jingjiao and Jing'er, as the daughters of the upper three banners in the Eight Banners, both of them are outstanding in terms of talent and appearance, and it stands to reason that it is not a problem to find a good family, but now the world has already changed a little, and if she doesn't take some money to do something, she can only be in the same situation as the next five flags, and even they can't compare.

Everything in such a pile needs money to be taken care of, and he is now just the deputy chief of the Xiaocai Battalion, not an errand for oil and water. No, yesterday Jing Ji took a fancy to a zither, but she had no choice but to be restrained, so she wanted to buy it softly and hard, not for anything else, just because the emperor gave the seventeenth elder brother Baylor, which coincided with a happy event, and the lively Baylor Lord publicly wanted to recruit talented girls in the capital to enter the house as musicians, and the rewards were naturally a lot. Jing Ji, who has loved Guzheng since childhood, feels that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as she enters Baylor Mansion, everything will turn around, she doesn't want to live this kind of coarse tea and light meal days, she only has talent and affection, it is possible to change the status quo.

As the children get older, they have some thoughts of their own.

Youlan didn't want to drag the child down, so she sold everything she could sell early and saved so much money. Jing Ji was also sad for Eniang, but she really didn't want to live so sadly, so she bought a guzheng. Jing Wu was furious when she found out, not only did she count Jing Jiao down, but also returned her zither zither, causing Jin Ye, who was originally optimistic about her entering Baylor Mansion, to feel sorry for her. It is because of this that Gong Alla is angry, which daughter is not the meat of her heart, Jing Jiao's identity is different from Jing Yao's preciousness, and it is understandable that she wants to seek a future for herself.

It's just that Gong Ala is angry with herself, Jing Ji is also the daughter of Shangsanqi in the end, how can she be reduced to the point of being a musician in the house, if he can meet him with some stammers, the whole family also has hope.

Jing Ji cried, Youlan also cried, Jing Wu looked even more sad, even if she was sorry for her sister, it was more important to treat Eniang than anything else.

Having made up her mind, she turned her head to Jing Jiao and said, "Ji'er, the eldest sister knows your thoughts, but the eldest sister also begs you......" The latter words choked in her throat and were difficult to speak.

Youlan knows Jing's temper, she is a filial child and a more thoughtful child, and no one can persuade her at this time.

"Sister-in-law, there are only five of your brothers and sisters, the eldest brother is not a weapon now, and the younger brothers and sisters are still young, from the position of Ji'er, she is right. E-Niang's body is clear by herself, and I'm fine. Now Youlan doesn't want to be rich and rich, she just hopes that her children will be safe and support each other, and she will be at ease.

Jing's heart suddenly became sad, and everyone looked at her with blank eyes, as if she was the only one who "didn't know the reason" in this matter......

But she only knew that Brother Changqing had said that her mother's illness could be cured as long as she hired a good doctor and then treated well, even if it could not be completely cured, E-Niang would at least not suffer so much, E-Niang's sick body was completely burdened by the five of their brothers and sisters.

"E-niang, my daughter just wants you to be happy and healthy-" Jing's heart was sour, she had a feeling that her mother herself was going to give up the treatment, so when she thought about it, she couldn't help but collapse, and she was sad, looking into the distance with teary eyes, and said nothing.

Jing Jiao looked at the eldest sister who had always been resolute and gentle, and suddenly felt that she was blinded by desire, and she knelt down, crying and lying on Eniang's lap, Jiao Yanyu cried, "Eniang, it is Ji'er who is not sensible, it is Ji'er who is wrong, please forgive Eniang for the unfilial daughter, I won't fight and I won't go to Baylor Mansion, I'll go to Jinpa to raise money for Eniang's illness!" ”

This is the only way that eleven-year-old Jing Ji can think of to make money with her own ability.

Youlan was touched by the children's simplicity and cuteness, and it was worth it, it was in vain for her to be a mother. "It's enough to have this heart, E-Niang knows that you are good boys, and I know my body, don't worry." Youlan stretched out her hand, Jing Wu also threw herself into Eniang's arms, and Shitai turned behind Eniang with a hard heart, holding Eniang's shoulders, and Youlan, who was holding her children, said slowly, "Eniang only wishes you can live a happy life......"

Up and down, when the masters and slaves were all mourning, Wang Shizhai stepped on the door.
