Chapter 226: Affection and Righteousness
Xiao Ju gently closed a handful of water and approached the front, "This is really a spring that should only exist in the sky, but it's a pity that Niangniang doesn't know how to enjoy being held in her dream garden all day long, and she has never seen the world at a glance." ”
The little maid on the other side said kindly, "I heard that Niangniang was just a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion before she got married, but then I don't know what kind of fox tricks I used to be loved by our prince like this." ”
"I heard that it is a witchcraft, and there are rumors outside, ah!" Xiao Ju was trying to get close and say bad things about Tang Meng, but she didn't want to look up and see Xing'er half-hidden behind the tree, she immediately trembled, and smashed all the water on her skirt without dropping, she and the little maid next to her got up in a hurry, "The slave has seen Sister Xing'er!" ”
Xing'er walked out from behind the tree steadily, lowered her eyes not angry or happy, and said majestically, "Niangniang's business is also something you can chew the root of your tongue?" ”
"The slave is guilty, Sister Xing'er, you have a lot of adults, don't tell the mother about this," another little maid was so frightened that she couldn't keep kowtowing on the ground, but Xiao Tao just knelt down and didn't say a word.
Xing'er walked up to Xiao Ju and slowly stepped on the back of her hand that was holding the ground, and then kept getting worse, until Xiao Ju wailed and slapped the surface of her feet uncontrollably, and then said, "You dare to hit me?" Do you know that I am the person next to my mother? ”
Xiao Ju was so frightened that her fists were frightened, but her eyes were full of anger and jealousy, "What if it's Niangniang?" You and I are both maids serving in the palace, how can you be more noble than me, Xiao Tao is so much younger than you, she is the one who has always followed the mother to be favored, and you are just a tool! ”
Xing'er slammed her strength when she heard this, she seemed to be able to feel the feeling of the skin under her feet blooming, and Xiao Tao exclaimed in surprise and almost fainted.
Xing'er pulled her chin up fiercely and forced her to look at herself, "Don't think that you can take someone's place by taking the opportunity to show up in front of the prince, now the prince is coaxing the mother in the courtyard, don't be delusional about these treatments in your life!" She shook Xiao Ju's head to the side, "It's not up to you whether I have the right or not!" ”
These exclamations have already attracted a lot of people, Xing'er raised her head with murderous eyes, she looked at the housekeeper in the courtyard, and said loudly, "Xiaoju and the others committed this matter, do you want you to report it or do you want me to tell me?" ”
When the grandmother heard this, she immediately ran over in a panic and flattered her behind Xing'er, "Oh, my Xing'er girl, this matter must not be let the mother know, if the prince knows about this matter, he will definitely cure me for the crime of disobedience, and my old life will be over." ”
Xing'er was angry, "The matter is in the yard you are in charge of, so you want to calm down like this?" ”
The grandmother was also a clever one, and immediately nodded and stammered, "How to deal with these two cheap hooves, listen to the words of the apricot girl." ”
"This is the prince's mansion, and the mother is in charge, how can I deal with the subordinates of the same level," Xing'er retracted her foot and flicked the dust on her sleeve, "But since Xiaoju likes hot spring water so much, let someone reward her with a bucket every day, don't say that our mother is not generous." ”
The grandmother's eyes flickered and immediately understood the meaning of Xing'er's words, and she kicked the other maid who was also kneeling on the ground, "Speaking of yours, why don't you get the bottled water quickly!" ”
The maid ran away obediently, and after a while she brought a large bucket, which she filled with the delicate water in the hot spring at the behest of her mother's order, and then stood stunned and did not know what to do.
Mama shouted, "Don't pour it quickly, you don't understand my words, do you!" ”
Xiao Ju suddenly raised her head while holding her injured hand, her eyes were full of unwillingness, "Why does Mama want to listen to her!" What's wrong with me going to the study to help! ”
Mama couldn't help but say that raising her hand was a slap, and Xiao Ju was suddenly slapped to the ground, "Pour!" As a slave, you must always put yourself in a clear position, if someone does such a thing that harms others and yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
After speaking, the little girl closed her eyes and poured a bucket of water on Xiao Tao's body.
Mama looked at the person at her feet coldly, "You kneel here and then go back, see if you dare to move your mind again!" ”
Xing'er knew that it was time for Mama to say good things to herself and ask for good words, but Xing'er simply didn't give her this opportunity, and turned around and walked out of the yard directly, so that Mama who just wanted to speak behind her had to give up.
Xing'er walked out of the yard straightened her back and walked firmly for a long time, until she came to a small road where few people came, and suddenly bent down and held the courtyard wall.
Her heart that had been tense finally fluttered again and resumed its violent heartbeat, and Xing'er trembled slightly, especially the foot that stepped on Xiaoju just now made her feel scared and afraid to recall.
She exhaled a large cloud of white gas from her mouth and nose, but her mind could not be calmed for a long time.
At this time, a black shadow silently settled not far behind her, Jia San was expressionless, but his eyes were full of distress, he hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward to take Xing'er's hand.
But she seemed to have been on guard for a long time, and she didn't even look up to see the person coming before she directly withdrew her hand.
"Apricot?"
Apricot leaned against the wall weakly, "You saw it all, didn't you?" I know you've been following me. ”
Jia San didn't say anything, and Xing'er smiled bitterly, "I have been beaten and scolded before, and I secretly swore not to be like that for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that I would be even more cruel than them now." ”
"Apricot ......"
As soon as Jia San opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Xing'er, she didn't dare to listen to Jia San's next words, so she had to rush to let herself finish the words first.
She raised her head hard, her eyes were red, "But I don't regret it, my mother treats me like a mountain and gives me a second life, I should remove all dangerous obstacles for her!" Her voice trembled a little, "Since you have seen it, I will not hide it from you, if you think that I am vicious and unacceptable to you, then you are gone, and I will never be entangled for half a minute." ”
After speaking, Xing'er fell into a despair that could not be concealed, but she didn't expect to be greeted by a warm and tight but somewhat jerky embrace.
Xing'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she listened to the person in her ear in disbelief, "I'm stupid, don't be angry, if I miss you, where should I go to find a loving and righteous Xing'er?" ”
Apricot pretended to be powerful, and her heart trembled violently, unable to control her tears any longer, and let them fall on Jia San's shoulders in large drops.
Jia San felt that the person in his arms let down his guard, and he slowly stroked Xing'er's back, trying to make his tone not as stiff as he was used to, "I admire your loyalty, I will not dislike you, let alone leave you, if you are afraid, just tell me, I will help you do these things." ”
Xing'er nodded vigorously, and was so moved that she couldn't say a word.
It took a long time for Xing'er to slowly ease up, she was really scared of that scene, but when she thought of protecting Tang Meng, she had no regrets.
Jia San walked with her for a while in a place where there were few people, and when he saw that Xing'er had calmed down, he sent her back to the Dream Garden.
But after all, they are sisters who get along day and night, and Rao is like this, and Xiao Tao can see the clue at a glance.
She grabbed Xing'er, who was walking by hurriedly with her head down, "Have you cried?" She bent down to check as she spoke, and then became more affirmative, and directly got up and crossed her waist to look amazing, "Who dares to mess with you!" I'm going to fight him hard! ”
The domineering appearance successfully made Xing'er laugh, and she patted Xiao Tao's head dotingly, "Be careful to let the prince hear it, who dares to bully me if you are there?" ”
Xiao Tao surrounded her and refused to let go, "But you obviously cried, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me." ”
"Okay," Xing'er took her hand, "I just left in a hurry when I came back and didn't pay attention and squinted my eyes, how could I be bullied." ”
"Really?"
Apricot smiled, "Really." ”
Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and resumed her old laughter, and mysteriously leaned over and whispered, "The prince called someone to prepare a lot of clever toys, saying that they were for the prince to play, and I just wanted to coax our mother!" ”
Xing'er looked at Xiao Tao's bright face and remembered what Xiao Ju had just said, she was right, a cute person like Xiao Tao must be deeply loved by her mother.
