Chapter 6: The True Colors of Scoundrels
However, Ning Xiang is still a seven-year-old child after all, even if it is the soul of an adult in her body, she can't withstand the surging sleepiness.
In addition, she recalled so many problems in her previous life, and she was physically and mentally exhausted, so she fell asleep behind the screen.
A slight snoring sound came, and the husband and wife who were talking followed the sound with dark faces, and saw a little girl sleeping sweetly behind the screen.
I don't know how long she's been here.
Jiang Zhizhou saw Ning Xiang's delicate and lovely face, and he already had a plan in his heart, but because the eldest lady was next to him, he didn't show it.
Mrs. Jiang's slightly reproachful eyes were thrown at Ling'er, and Ling'er's cheeks turned red instantly, and she hurriedly walked over and hugged Ning Xiang and hurriedly retreated.
When the two disappeared from sight, Jiang Zhizhou asked suspiciously: "Ling'er is your personal girl, naturally credible, but I don't know how much that little girl listens to our words." ”
When the eldest lady saw Jiang Zhizhou's appearance of being a soldier, she remembered the sweet little girl who had just slept before, covered her handkerchief to her mouth, and sneered: "If you see that scene just now, how dare you sleep so peacefully?" ”
"That's right." Jiang Zhizhou thought about it carefully, it was indeed such a truth, not to mention, it was just a little girl, even if she knew, what matter.
But when I think of that face, like a deer in the woods, I can't help but want to bully...... Jiang Zhizhou couldn't help but think about it, thinking that if he raised Ning Xiang......
Madame Jiang saw her husband's thoughts drift to the side of the matter, so she said angrily: "What do you think? In my case, you still worry about others? ”
As soon as Jiang Zhizhou heard Mrs. Jiang's voice, he instantly came back to his senses, and there was such a charming woman sitting in front of him, and the young little girl was thrown aside by him in an instant.
"Madame, don't be angry, my husband is just a little tired, why don't we rest early?"
"You, you~" Mrs. Jiang pretended to be helpless, got up and entered the inner room first, and Jiang Zhizhou followed her in a hurry, but ignored the disgust that flashed in Mrs. Jiang's eyes.
Ning Xiang was placed next to her bed by Ling'er, and the maids lived in bunks, and only the big maids with a very good face could sleep in the ear room next to the master's bedroom and wait for the dispatch. The eldest lady has a face in front of a grandmother, but it is not good for her to crowd the shop with a group of little girls, so these maids who are often in front of the eldest lady have many complaints, but they dare not say it directly. It was hard to turn over, but now that she is squeezed in, the rest of the maids are not very happy.
The first maid who led her into the compound was called Bi'er, the big girl who had a leg with Jiang Yan in the future, but she didn't show anything, she was also next to Ling'er, just turned sideways to face the wall, ignoring other people's words.
The rest are some second-class maids, and the sweeping maids and rough mothers-in-law are all in the miscellaneous courtyard near the front yard, living with the subordinates of each courtyard, which is naturally more chaotic, and it is not as good as here.
Although Ning Xiang understands it thoroughly, she is not very familiar with the courtyard of the eldest lady, she lived directly in Jiang Yueyue's ear room in her previous life, and Jiang Yueyue personally admonished her. It seems that it is better to be careful, she is too urgent today.
Sleeping in a daze until midnight, Ning Xiang felt her shoulders shake a little, rubbed her eyes and woke up, and found that it was Ling'er pushing her.
Seeing that she was awake, Ling'er made a silent gesture and handed her a hot steamed bun.
It turned out that I was worried that I hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Ning Xiang also intersected with Ling'er in her previous life, knowing that she was kind and soft-hearted, but she had never experienced it firsthand.
Thinking that he had just entered the house and had been taken care of by her so much, the hot steamed buns were pinched in his hands, and he couldn't help but have a sour nose.
Ling'er stretched out her hand to wipe Ning Xiang's tears in distress, she thought that Ning Xiang had just left home and was flustered, but in fact, Ning Xiang was moved and couldn't wait to repay her.
As a human being in two lives, she has never felt such warmth. Ning Xiang secretly swore in her heart that Ling'er would be her own sister in the future, and if something happened, she would repay her kindness.
After eating enough, Ning Xiang was finally able to sleep soundly, she didn't have a futon when she first came, and Ling'er didn't dislike it, so she squeezed together with her.
The summer night was humid and hot, and Ning Xiang didn't sleep steadily, as if she was wandering in a trance.
In the clouds, he seemed to see Xiao Qian sitting on the edge of the bed, and said to his subordinates while arranging his clothes: "It's just that, looking beautiful, it's better to be happy, it's really a disappointment." ”
Here, Ning Xiang saw the real scene in her dream, as if she had been forcibly instilled with memories that she didn't have.
And Ning's father, who went back, covered his waist that was kicked by someone, limped home, and angrily threw two coins of silver on the quilt covered by Ning's mother. He sat on a rotten wooden stool beside him, grinning his teeth and not saying a word.
Mother Ning saw that Father Ning only took two coins of silver and sent her away, holding her back next to her and chirping crookedly, she didn't even say anything, she thought crooked for a while, and she was sitting in confinement knowing that she couldn't cry, but she couldn't help but howl out in her voice: "You dead ghost, which kiln did you go to be happy?" Twenty taels of silver will be taken back two dollars, which little girl's kang head will be thrown away? ”
Ning's father was already upset, he had just been beaten by a shrew, and when he came back, he had to face Ning's mother's face, so he suddenly started a fire, rushed to Ning's mother and slapped her.
Ning's mother was stunned when she was beaten, and she forgot to cry in an instant, and in such a moment's stunned, Ning's father had already beaten her five or six times.
"Cry! Cry! Like that girl, she is a mourning star, and Lao Tzu's luck is the corruption of your mother and daughter! ”
After many years of husband and wife, Ning's mother saw Ning's father like this for the first time, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound.
Father Ning sat down again and slowed down for a while, and then said, "I'll sell you tomorrow, anyway, I can't get the twenty taels, so don't think about it." ”
Mother Ning was dumbfounded when she heard this, what? Sold her too? She's a woman who has just given birth and is still in confinement?
It wasn't until Ning's father slammed the door that Ning's mother threw herself on the bed with the child in her arms and cried: "What kind of evil is this!" Ning Dahan! You're a brute! ”
Father Ning also felt that it was not good for him to vent his anger on his wife, who had just given birth to a son, but before he could come back to coax her, he heard such a scolding, which suddenly reminded him of the appearance of the janitor's contempt for him.
The angry words that Fang just said took root in his heart, and now he really made up his mind.
When I sell this woman tomorrow, plus the two coins of silver in my hand, I don't have to worry about not marrying a good one, even if it is a continuation of the string.
There is a widow in the village, a dead man has no children, and her appearance is not as good-looking as Ning's mother, but Wu Nong's soft words are itchy.
Thinking like this, Father Ning also felt that his body didn't hurt much, so he pretended not to hear Ning's mother's screams, and went to sleep in Ning Xiang's original room next door.
