Chapter 41: Slavery and Slavery
Jia Xiufang was beaten painfully, and her heart became more and more hateful. At this moment, he was set up by a few beggars, and he saw that Jia Xiufang was still a little beautiful. couldn't help but smile with a lewd face, "It's not impossible to let you bake the fire...... It's just that you need to change it. ”
Saying that, they all gathered around Jia Xiufang, and Jia Xiufang was afraid that she would run away the next moment. As soon as he ran out of the ruined temple, he remembered a good place to go, and walked towards the outside of the town at this moment. After half an hour's effort, she finally walked to the door of a brocade ware, Jia Xiufang looked up at the plaque, and knocked on the door without saying a word.
This is the Ma Mansion, and after a while, someone came inside. Seeing that Jia Xiufang was dressed in messy clothes, she only regarded her as asking for food, and was about to close the door after giving a steamed bun, Jia Xiufang hurriedly stepped forward, "Wait!" I'm looking for ...... Steward Liu! ”
The boy guarding the door was kind enough to call Steward Liu out. Steward Liu saw that it was Jia Xiufang who didn't say a word, took the person back to the room, and poured a glass of water. Steward Liu looked at the woman in front of him like a crazy woman, his face was full of disgust, as if he was giving alms and took out half a hanging of money from his arms, "You can take this money first, I don't have any more." ”
Jia Xiufang excitedly took Steward Liu's hand and scolded angrily, "Liu Sheng! My lady mistook you, can't you arrange a place for me to live with you?! ”
Liu Sheng was afraid of attracting others to break the matter, so he had to cover Jia Xiufang's mouth at this moment. Dissuasion: "Be quiet! When you find out, no one will be able to protect you! ”
At this moment, Liu Sheng looked outside, and said impatiently to Jia Xiufang in front of him, "How do you want me to help you?" ”
Jia Xiufang smiled triumphantly, Liu Sheng has always been a villain. With his handle in his hands, he naturally didn't dare to do anything, "I want to stay in Mafu." ”
Liu Sheng's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Jia Xiufang coldly, his eyes were dim, "Want to enter the Ma Mansion and wait for Master Ma to accept you as a concubine?" Jia Xiufang, I think you're overthinking! ”
Jia Xiufang's mind of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, he still knows a little. Jia Xiufang glanced at Liu Sheng, maybe she could really climb up, but under the eaves of others, she had to bow her head. Two tears were squeezed out of his eyes, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain, "I was just expelled from the house by Lin Fu, and I didn't have a place to live for a while." That's ...... I want to come to Mafu. One is to take care of my daughter, and the other is not to live on ......the streets, Liu Sheng, I have known you for so many years, and you look at me like this? ”
Hearing her say this, Liu Sheng also felt that he had passed. At this moment, I can't help sighing, Liu Shengneng is also due to Jia Xiufang's promotion today. Liu Sheng paced back and forth, and finally said leisurely, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to see Madame." Just say that you come to visit your daughter, and don't say a word about the rest. I'll arrange the rest, if you say the wrong thing, hum! ”
After speaking, Liu Sheng took advantage of the night and sent Jia Xiufang to the maid's room. Find a half-worn and decent dress and give it to Jia Xiufang and let her change it tomorrow.
In the early morning of the second day, Liu Sheng took Jia Xiufang to meet Mrs. Ma early. As soon as Mrs. Ma got up, she saw Jia Xiufang, "Mrs. Lin came so early, what's the matter?" ”
Jia Xiufang's half-worn clothes, but the cuffs are longer, so it's okay. It's just that his face was beaten by the beggar yesterday, and now he looks at that face and is white. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, a little hideous and funny, "Mrs. Ma, this is not Yinglan married." I'm supposed to be a mother, but I came early this morning, and it was dark. I fell halfway through. ”
Mrs. Ma smiled and did not pierce it. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, take Mrs. Lin to the young master's backyard." ”
The maidservant answered, took Jia Xiufang and walked out through a small road, and arrived at Ma Yunrong's courtyard, and behind this main courtyard, next to it was a smaller courtyard, where Ma Yunrong's concubine lived. Four or five people were all crammed into this courtyard, but one person had one room, and the remaining one was used as a utility room.
Jia Xiufang was led all the way to a back room, only to see that the eaves were half-old, and the paste paper on the flower window was also broken, and no one cared. Jia Xiufang was disgusted in her heart, such a house was directly used as a firewood house in the Lin family, but she didn't expect that the Ma family, the big family, would have such a place.
"Madam, Mrs. Yinglan lives in it." The little slave said obediently, and after speaking, she slipped away.
Jia Xiufang was a little unbearable, and stood outside the door for a long time. After looking at it for a moment, he slowly pushed the door open and entered. I saw that under the heavy curtains, someone was still lying on the bed. The room is small and narrow, only enough to fit a collapse, and a dresser is added, and some miscellaneous items are gone.
"Yinglan?" Jia Xiufang walked towards the curtain and pulled it open. I saw that Lin Yinglan's face was flushed, and then she tried it with her hand, and her forehead was hot and scary. Jia Xiufang panicked, "Someone, go and call the doctor!" ”
Because of Steward Liu's help, it was only for a while. The doctor came, only saying that Lin Yinglan had a cold and contracted a cold. After prescribing two pairs of medicines in a row, Jia Xiufang immediately guarded the decoction of medicine for her daughter.
At noon, I only heard the sound of warblers and swallows outside, and I couldn't help but lean my head to look, only to see that Ma Yunrong hugged left and right, so he was not pretentious. As for whether Lin Yinglan is sick or not, she naturally didn't pay attention to it.
Thinking of buying, Jia Xiufang wiped her tears again. boiled the medicine and gave it to Lin Yinglan to drink, and finally got better at night. Jia Xiufang also made do with it for another night. That's right, because Lin Yinglan is half dead, Jia Xiufang has been living in Mafu for several days.
Until one day, Mrs. Ma looked at her, and asked the maid beside her with some displeasure, "How long has this Jia Xiufang come to live in my house?" ”
The maid said, "Madame, it's been three or four days." ”
Mrs. Ma's heart turned, this Jia Xiufang originally came to Ma's house to eat and drink! With a roll of his eyes, he had an idea. At this moment, when I went to the small courtyard, it happened that Jia Xiufang was decocting medicine for her daughter.
"What is Mrs. Lin busy with?" Mrs. Ma stepped forward and kicked the medicine jar, and a strong smell of Chinese medicine escaped, and Mrs. Ma stuck her nose in disgust.
Jia Xiufang hurriedly stood up and replied, "Yinglan is not in good health, what about I decoction for her......"
"Oh? I thought you wanted to eat and drink in Mafu, and you didn't want to leave! Mrs. Ma was full of ridicule, Liu Sheng also came today, and at this moment, there was a whisper in Mrs. Ma's ear, and Mrs. Ma did nod again and again.
"Since Mrs. Lin is not worried about Yinglan, it is better to stay in Mafu, and be a servant, it is better to ...... Can you take care of your daughter? ”
Liu Sheng happened to tell her that Jia Xiufang was arrogant when she came here and wanted to rub her sharpness. couldn't help but listen to Liu Sheng's words. At this moment, in Jia Xiufang's eyes, it was nothing more than an opportunity, and she couldn't help but hold the shelf and hesitate, "This ...... This is my son, so ...... Then I'll do it! ”
