Diancui was stunned: "Is this news serious?" ”

Du Xiaozhu nodded, since half a year ago, there was a little eunuch disguised as a food delivery person, and he contacted him one after another, and passed on the news several times, although it was not important news, but it was true every time.

Although Yuan Zhiheng and Diancui also had suspicions, later King Gong seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally revealed some obscure words to Yuan Zhiheng, and Yuan Zhiheng guessed that the news to them should be the dark line buried by King Gong in the palace.

At this time, the emperor fainted, and the ministers were still left in the palace, and his own ministers and King Gong were not in Beijing...... The more Diancui thought about it, the more chaotic her brain became, she read a lot of books in Su Ri, and it was easy to think crankily, and at this time, some things that should be thought about and what should not be thought about poured into her brain.

"Go, go quickly, let the little gatekeepers and nurses in the front yard stop eating and drinking, close the main entrance and the side doors of each courtyard, and keep a close eye on the wall and courtyard for me! Still...... There are also a few rafts to prepare for people to patrol the lake with lanterns. ”

"Madam, we don't have so many people to ......" Du Xiaozhu saw that Madame's face was serious and knew that this matter was different, but today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and some of the subordinates in the house and the nursing home were locals, so Madame let them go back to have a reunion dinner, and the total number of male servants left behind was only ten.

"Madam, there is no need to worry too much about the water pavilion here, although they are young, they are all skilled, and they are accustomed to water, if they are ...... Self-protection is not a problem, and it can also protect everyone in the house. Mr. Su swallowed a dumpling in his mouth and said seriously.

She was a person who grew up on the battlefield and had never seen any occasion, so even though she immediately smelled a trace of unknown danger from it after listening to Du Xiaozhu's words, she was very calm.

Perhaps infected by Mr. Su's calmness, Diancui glanced at the shocked and puzzled aunts, but also calmed down, raised her glass and smiled:

"I do this, don't think about it, but now that the adults are not at home, and the palace has suffered such a big change, we should do some protection. Come, I respect everyone, and I hope that our future days will be smoother and better. ”

"Good! Madame said well, "Aunt Han, who has always been quiet and silent, suddenly got up, and the tears in her eyes with excitement will definitely get better and better."

One day after Yuan Zhiheng's mission to Northern Xinjiang, Dian Cui went to Aunt Han's courtyard and said something to her openly:

At the beginning, the adults of her family had no choice but to include the five of them in the mansion as concubines, but he never offended them from beginning to end. The only one who can't stand it is Aunt Han, in order to confuse the public, he has slept in Aunt Han's house for a few days.

In order to make up for her, Yuan Zhiheng has also discussed with Diancui to recognize her as a sister, and when she comes back from northern Xinjiang, she will go to Jingzhaoyi Mansion to ask for a famous saucer, and in the future, she will live in the West Courtyard as the eldest lady of Yuan's mansion, and the matter of getting married, whether it is a dowry or a ritual, will come according to the eldest lady of the official mansion.

The other two concubines, Diancui and his wife also thought about their future, regardless of whether they were married to the guards in the capital, merchants or married to other parties, if they were happy, Yuan Zhiheng would make the decision for them, and the dowry would also be placed according to the rich lady. If you can't find a good one for a while, Diancui will be the main owner of a small shop with her, and your life can be moist and spacious.

As for Aunt Qin, if she pretends to be crazy for a lifetime, he and his wife have no choice but to support her for the rest of her life. As long as she keeps to herself, she will not be disadvantaged by food and clothing. If one day you are tired or want to open it, and you don't want to pretend anymore, find a rich place to send her, give her a sum of money, and live a new life.

Diancui thought about everything, and when she said that she listened to Aunt Han, Aunt Han was in tears and got up to kowtow to Diancui, but was stopped by Diancui.

Since this Aunt Han entered the Yuan Mansion, she has always been careful of her duties and helped Yuan Zhiheng everywhere. When she was in the palace, she was just a little palace maid who was not welcomed in Kunning Palace, and she originally wanted to live her life quietly and anonymously, but unfortunately she grew a little bit and was jealous of the masters of the palaces.

I didn't expect to wait for a chance to leave the palace one day, the day she entered the Yuan Mansion, she knew that this Lord Yuan was an unusual person, and she was a person who knew the times, relying on this knowledge of the times, she had a good life in the Yuan Mansion.

But I didn't expect that one day I would get a promise of freedom. For these low-level palace maids, this freedom is an unattainable dream, and it is a thought that can only be pinned on the next life, and it is no wonder that she was moved to tears.

On the snowy Chinese New Year's Eve, the water pavilion is brightly lit, and the braziers are burning brightly. The dumplings have eaten plate after plate, and they have all eaten a small cup of this wine, after all, what kind of "prohibition" has their family been engaged in recently, and it is not good for them to close their doors and drink and slap the adults in the face.

The charcoal fire in the brazier was burning quietly, and Diancui saw that the aunts were already sleepy, so he said, If you can't survive, go back and rest first, but remember to close the door.

Aunt Dong was overjoyed when she heard this, quickly got up and said goodbye crisply, and went back to the west courtyard with another aunt.

"Sister, you can go too." Diancui said to Aunt Han.

This sister, others do not doubt him, after all, it is just like that the concubines and concubines are polite to each other. Only Aunt Han knew that this sister was a real sister, not the title with bitter and mean contempt. When he heard the words, his eyes turned red, and he smiled sincerely: "I'm not sleepy, keep vigil with everyone." ”

This identity has also changed because of her sister, and Aunt Han's tone has become cheerful. Diancui stretched out her hand and patted her hand, and everyone quietly ate tea and whispered.

"Madam, Brother Yun is asleep, this water pavilion is windy, I'll take it back to the house and sleep." Aunt Xing whispered.

Diancui glanced at Brother Yun, who was sleeping and was thinking, nodded and went to the small courtyard near here to find a room to sleep in.

"Just go to my yard." Mr. Su and Diancui glanced at each other, nodded and said. Cow Bar Literature Network

Aunt Xing hugged Brother Yun to rest, Du Xiaozhu ran into the water pavilion in a panic again, this time she didn't even care about the snowflakes on her head, she didn't even breathe, and said:

"Madame, something is wrong! Out of nowhere, there is a gang of bandits who have robbed several shops and rich families! ”

Diancui was shocked, bandit? Is it just a bandit?

"Since they are bandits, how can they enter the capital, the guards of the forbidden army in the city? In addition to robbing money, can these bandits hurt people? Dian Cui asked in a series of surprises.

Du Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know how to get in, I may have sneaked into the capital as early as a year ago, waiting for an opportunity." As for the guards in the city, they all went to the Qi Palace, and they heard that the Qi Palace found the assassins tonight, so they all went to arrest the assassins to protect the prince...... However, those bandits only broke into people's shops and houses to steal money, and did not hear of any killings. ”

Hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't hurt anyone...... Only Diancui and Mr. Su glanced at each other again, and they both frowned deeply.

If they are ordinary bandits, why don't the guards of the forbidden army in the city arrest them on the street, and now there is not a single forbidden army directly in the huge capital, isn't it weird!

By the time of Shen, the lights in the capital were all extinguished, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve was a dark night. There was a sound of shouting and killing in the distance on the street, and Diancui's heart fell to the bottom.

After another half an hour, the voice was gone. Diancui's clenched fists loosened slightly.

Suddenly, a flash of fire flickered, and the sound of swords came from outside, and the sound of people scolding became clearer and clearer. Immediately, the gate of Yuan's mansion was hit hard by some heavy object, Du Xiaozhu followed the gatekeeper and the courtyard to guard the gate like earth, pulled past a small servant and told him to go to the water pavilion quickly and inform his wife!

"Madam, those bandits are smashing the gate of our house, please hurry up and take the young ladies and young masters away from the lake!" After the little guy finished speaking, he ran back and guarded the gate with Du Xiaozhu.

Diancui was now sweating on his palms and head, so he easily stabilized his mind, looked at a few rafts floating on the lake, grabbed Mr. Su's hand and said, "Please also ask Mr. Su to send Brother Yu, Brother Fang, and Brother Qiu to the opposite side first." ”

He said to Aunt Han again: "My sister took Dongxue, Xin'er, and Qingqing to go over first." ”

"Madam, if we don't go, we'll stay here with Madame." Xin'er was a little panicked, and asked her to run for her life, but she was still dead, Dongxue didn't speak, and quickly extinguished the brazier and lantern with her hands and feet.

"Madam, it's impossible for us to go." Dongxue's voice was calm.

Aunt Han also shook her head, there are many people in this house, and the raft is obviously not enough, she is an adult, how can she rob the child.

"You ...... That's it! Diancui sighed.

"Fourth aunt, we can't leave either, we are all men, and we will protect the fourth aunt and Sister Ci." Tang Yu shouted.

"Cut, who wants you to protect, don't let me protect you when the time comes!" Sister Ci'er's eyes were especially bright in the dark, and she was excited.

Brigand? Look at her, they make a splash! She touched the whip around her waist, a little gearing up.

Children don't know what danger is, Su Rili listened to Mr. talk about history, and when he saw those heroes and heroes, he only listened to his blood boiling, and he couldn't wait to meet one or two evil people one day and let them go to the evil and promote the good.

Seeing that Sister Ci was still so ignorant at this time, Diancui was angry and uncomfortable in her heart, blaming her and Xianggong for being too indulgent to Sister Ci in the past few days, so she developed a problem like she didn't know the height of the sky.

"Let me go! Take your young lady on a raft! And Ye Hong, don't hide, let's go together. ”

Sister Ci'er saw that her mother was really angry, and she didn't dare to say anything bigger.

Mr. Su sighed and urged the child to leave.

"Mr. Su, go quickly, I'm here here." Gui Shuhuai is Dian Cui's younger brother, standing with Dian Cui, this head is a head higher than Dian Cui.

"Okay," Mr. Su decided to send these children to the other side and come back by himself: "Hurry up, Madame is also for your good, don't be embarrassed." ”

Mr. Su understands this, no matter what, these are still children, and most of them are only seedlings at home, if something happens in Yuan's Mansion, how can she explain to a few sisters-in-law?

A few children were reluctantly sent onto the raft, and because they did not dare to light the lanterns, several rafts walked very slowly, all rowing forward in the dark with the familiarity of the big guys with this lake.
