Speaking of this, Xiu'er was afraid that the young lady would be unhappy, so she hurriedly changed her tone and said: "It's also those hooves who are tired of the reputation of the third master, and now I know how bright the third master's yard is, and I heard that the new grandmother treats people very gently, and she is also generous, the girls of the strange stone courtyard can be regarded as a blessing this time." ”

Wang Yuhe closed his eyes and pondered, smiled slightly when he heard this, and quipped: "You Nizi, don't you think I'm stingy?" ”

Xiu'er hurriedly confessed, but she was also relieved, and then said: "How can it! The slave and maid are honest, don't say that Wangjiazhuang is over, and the entire Baiyan City can't find a more generous master than the young lady, the slave and the maid are just happy for the sisters of the strange stone courtyard, and there is no other thought, the slave and the maid can rely on the young lady's side, even if the young lady can't leave! ”

Wang Yuhe smiled and said, "Okay, how can I drive you out for no reason, you go on." ”

"Yes, miss" Xiu'er pursed her lips and laughed first: "But, recently, the girls in the Strange Stone Academy have begun to complain to themselves secretly, and there are really those who can't hold it and want to change errands." The young lady said, "Why is that?" ”

Wang Yuhe opened his eyes slightly and asked, "Why?" ”

"Miss, what do you think is best about our new grandmother?"

Wang Yuhe pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked in surprise: "The third sister-in-law doesn't want to ask the girls to learn martial arts!" ”

Xiu'er took a small step back, blessed her body and said, "Miss is wise!" ”

Wang Yuhe was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

At this time, Liu Ye, who commanded the little girl and the mother-in-law to clean up the room, closed the door and walked in, and when she saw the young lady's uncontrollable smile, she asked, "What is the young lady laughing at?" ”

Xiu'er told the young lady what she had said, and Liu Yu also laughed for a while, and then suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that we have to leave so soon." ”

Xiu'er said strangely: "What? ”

Liu Ye said: "If the third grandmother marries in earlier, the slave can also go over to learn some kung fu." ”

Wang Yuhe glanced at her coldly and said to Xiu'er: "It seems that Ye'er's course of study during this period is not tight enough, and she still wants to learn that fist and foot kung fu herself!" ”

Liu Ye was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Miss spare your life, the slave has learned enough, and there is no need to add classes!" ”

Wang Yuhe asked, "Then do you still have time to think about that?" ”

Liu Ye said in a daze: "The slave just wants to learn some fist and foot kung fu, and she may be able to protect Miss at a critical moment, women in this world are weak, and once they face danger, they have no ability to protect themselves, to be honest, I am very envious of the third grandmother, who can actually travel alone and come to this Baiyan City." ”

This is true, whether it is ancient or modern, women have always been in a weak position, if in modern times, women can still fight back and escape or something, no matter how bad they are, they can scream, step on high heels, and scratch with their fingernails...... But in this damn ancient times, any woman from a serious family would rather die than do those things, but if she didn't resist, her reputation would be ruined, and it might be worse than death.

For a while, the three girls forgot the difference in identity, and they all fell into the melancholy of being a woman.

And Wang Yuhe remembered her mother's entrustment and worry before, and couldn't help but look at Liu Ye, this girl was actually as worried as her mother, she was so thoughtful at a young age!

Wang Yuhe's heart suddenly moved.

"Early tomorrow morning, you will go to the Strange Stone Academy to learn kung fu. I'll say it to my third sister-in-law. ”

Liu Ye and Xiu'er were stunned, Wang Yuhe stood up gently, Xiu'er and Liu Ye hurriedly helped her from both sides and walked directly to the bed to help her sit down.

"Ye'er is right, as a woman, you really need some self-preservation. Although it hasn't been a few days, Ye Er only needs to learn some fur and practice diligently in the future, and he doesn't have to become a martial arts master, just self-defense. ”

Liu Yeyi was excited and hurriedly squatted down and saluted: "Miss Xie, the slave will definitely study carefully." ”

Xiu'er's eyes flashed, and after all, she still couldn't make up her mind to endure hardships, so she had to laugh at herself: "Sister Ye'er is better than me, the slave can't bear the hardship, Miss don't dislike the slave!" ”

Wang Yuhe smiled: "Where will I dislike you!" You are my right-hand man, Ye'er is still young to learn, I heard the third sister-in-law say that the younger the elementary school, the better, you and I are older, what can we learn? Forget it. ”

Xiu'er couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. The two hurriedly waited for the young lady to fall asleep, put down the tent, extinguished the candle, and solemnly took out a string of night pearls from the box and hung them outside the tent with a misty shimmer. Speaking of the rarity of the night pearl, even the local tyrant Wangjiazhuang among the local tyrants has only two strings. The other string is at the old lady's.

Xiu'er took Liu Ye's hand and quietly walked to the second room to close the carved door of the inner room, and the two of them sat on the big kang near the window in the east room, where they slept at night.

"Little girl, let's be honest, why do you want to learn kung fu?" Xiu'er lowered her voice, but with a strong sense of gossip.

Liu Ye blinked innocently, "Why?" Didn't I tell Miss? Didn't Sister Xiu'er hear that? ”

Xiu'er pinched her and said, "Little girl, like a ghost, what I asked is the real reason!" ”

Liu Ye tilted his head and said drowsily: "What is the real reason, that's the reason, Sister Xiu'er, you think too much." ”

Xiu'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Little girl, do you dare to say that it's not because Xiao Ding also learns martial arts?" ”

Liu Ye was not very sober, but he was frightened awake by these words: "Good sister, where is this, I learned kung fu just in case, maybe I can protect Miss, and I can save myself, what does it have to do with Brother Ding, what if a person is not good at passing on the charge of private teaching!" ”

Xiu'er hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'm just guessing by myself, and there is no rumor." It's just that I saw that you and the little guys in the outer courtyard were faint, but I was very familiar with Xiao Ding to guess so, don't be afraid, if you really have this intention, you have to start early, I heard that there are already a few girls close to Xiao Ding. ”

Liu Ye put down half of his heart and then said strangely: "Xiao Ding is only twelve years old, how can there be a sister......

"You don't know this, Xiao Ding was personally selected by Mrs. Ming to marry the Han family in Phoenix, and Xiao Ding has been following Wang Zhi to learn affairs, I heard that Wang Steward values him very much, and said that he will train him well, and he will be a steward in the future, and those little girls are shrewd, and they know that they have to start early!"

Liu Ye smacked his tongue, but he was only in the sixth grade of primary school or the first year of junior high school...... Alas, the flowers of the Motherland, no, the flowers and bones!

Here is sighing, and the fire of gossip over there is burning and refuses to let go: "But, Ye'er, are you really boring to Xiaoding?" ”

Liu Ye hurriedly shook his head: "I'm still young, and I've never considered the question of who I like when I get married." I just want to serve the young lady well and save money for the month. ”

Xiu'er smacked at her: "Phew, you little money fan, everyone knows that you love silver, isn't it saving a dowry?" ”

"Dowry? I don't have any relatives left, and all the money I earn in the future will be my dowry. However, I must first buy myself the deed back before I think about anything else. ”

Xiu'er was stunned and said, "With Miss's heart, when you and I get married, we should return the deed to us, what are you afraid of?" ”

Ye Er shook his head: "You don't understand, you have lived in the village since you were a child, but I am used to being free, although I lived poorly before the disaster, I was not unable to live, my father and mother also let me learn to read and write, even if I did not have silk satin, gold and silver jewelry, but I was happy." Even though I'm alone now, I still want my life in my own hands. ”

Xiu'er was shocked, for the first time she felt that she might not be as good as this little girl who was two or three years younger than herself, her vision was so long-term, she had backbone, advocating freedom and character, and she did not stick to the petty love of men and women.

Unconsciously, Xiu'er pulled out a gold-wrapped hairpin from her head and played with it in her hand, although this hairpin was not too expensive but it was better than the exquisite workmanship, what did she like before, but now compare Ye'er's words, freedom and these jewels, what do you value more? And the willow leaf on the opposite side was already asleep, she got up and covered the willow leaf with a blanket, but she couldn't sleep at all.

Xiu'er has been very low-key since she came to Furong Garden, learning from the first-class maids and rings very carefully, learning their actions and even their eyes, she has been looking forward to the day when she can become the right-hand man of the young lady, and become the first-class girl ring of the scenery or even the special class, so when Bi'er had an accident and Yan'er was frightened, Furong Garden did not have a big girl in charge, she thought that the opportunity had come, she stepped forward, tried her best every day but did not dare to cross the rules, always thinking about whether there was any omission, so that she finally got the favor of Miss in a few days, Promoted to the first class of the ring. Originally, she was still a little complacent, but now Liu Ye's ordinary remarks gave her a sense of crisis.

However, Xiu'er knows that people's personalities will not be exactly the same, and their fate will not be exactly the same, she knows the real reason why Bi'er was sent away, and she knows that Miss will not give her personal girl to her uncle as a room, but Xiu'er, who is a little more beautiful than Liu Ye, suddenly figured it out, where can Miss be completely in charge of this kind of thing, if her uncle intends or other reasons, then she ......

In the dark night, Xiu'er suddenly sat up, she had to plan for her future.

The next day, Xiu'er asked Miss for leave early in the morning and said that she wanted to go home to see her parents, and Miss agreed.

After coming back, Xiu'er told Wang Yuhe, saying that she agreed to marry her second cousin, but asked her cousin to wait for five years, and she must go to Beijing to make a living in the future, because Xiu'er will have to follow Miss after she gets married.

Wang Yuhe was puzzled, Xiu'er just said: "The slave maid thinks that no matter how strong the aunt is, the slave maid will enter the capital in the future and have less contact, so she will naturally be able to trap her cousin." A place like the capital...... The slave maid has no confidence that she can always keep her original intention, and it is better to have a marriage contract. Besides, the slave maid told the second cousin that she would give him some silver every year on the condition that he would not have other women. The second cousin agreed, and the slave maid thought that if he really did it, he would marry him, but if he didn't keep his promise, then it would be a big deal to withdraw from the marriage, and the slave maid just followed the young lady with all her heart. ”
