"No guests today! Whoever comes, stop me! Old Lady Zhao returned to Yue's Zhao family, closed the door of the hall, dismissed the slaves, and announced again that no guests would be entertained.

"Get on your knees!" In the inner room, the old lady scolded Zhao Mengmo.

"Grandmother, are you punishing me for outsiders? It was the Wu bone mistake that was stabbed by the tree, and I was still the victim, and I was beaten. Zhao Mengmo complained aggrievedly and reluctantly knelt on the ground.

"I only ask you, today, you went to the Qingyi Mansion again, what are you crazy about, what are you looking at?" The old lady questioned sharply, thinking that she had made a mistake by her grandson.

"It's not me, it's Jing Zhixi, running around" Zhao Mengmo pointed at Jing Zhixi and argued wrongfully.

Jing Zhixi trembled and knelt on the ground, she didn't dare to say anything about the inner room of Qingyi.

The old lady looked at Jing Zhixi as an angry little lady, and then looked at her grandson who couldn't support the wall, and asked him helplessly: "You just say, are you still selfish to her?" ”

"If I had no selfishness, my grandmother wouldn't believe me. This girl is also conspicuous in that dignified Qingyao Mansion, among the ladies full of flowers. Zhao Mengmo was confused, thinking that he was telling the truth, and it was very appropriate, but he didn't know that his grandmother misunderstood him at this time, thinking that he had a big fight with Wu Gucuo in Qingyaoyi, but it was because he was not dead to Jing Zhixi's thief heart, committed a cheap act, and was caught by Wu Gucuo, so Jing Zhixi later held the injured Wu Gucuo to seek justice.

"You are confused, Jing Zhixi was raised by my Zhao family, if you name her as a child daughter-in-law, who can accuse you of half a sentence? You have to sacrifice ugliness in front of everyone in Qingyaoyi. Mrs. Zhao accused her grandson of being confused, but she didn't know that it was she who was confused. She thought that in front of everyone in Qingyaoyi, Wu Gucuo would definitely protect Zhixi's reputation, and she didn't dare to expose Zhao Mengmo's ugly things, so that she could cover up the ugliness for her grandson in a bright light, and blamed Wu Gucuo's mistakes, which was very decent, but she didn't know that she was just following Wu Gu's wrong play and acting a farce.

In fact, his grandson had no ugliness to hide, but she had no silver and three hundred taels here, and insisted on pulling an ugly pile for him to cover him. He was also very comfortable and smug about his worldly sleek and old-fashioned decency: "Well, since you still have thoughts about her, I will give her to you." Let Mrs. Hao prepare two wedding dresses for her today, and send them to your house tomorrow to be a concubine. ”

"No, grandmother, it's not like that...... Jing Zhixi realized that the old lady had really misunderstood her own grandson by asking such a question. When she heard this, she wanted to argue about her future marriage, and almost told the truth, but no one spoke softly, and no one listened to her finish speaking.

"Good!" Zhao Mengmo replied simply, interrupting Jing Zhixi's words, he was innocent, but he was about to embrace the beauty for this innocent person, why not be happy?

"Remember, you can't Meng Lang in the future. You have to remember who you are, and whatever you want, there is nothing you can't get if you are upright. This time, I will protect you in front of people, but in the future, you have to change! If Wu Gucuo hadn't tried to protect Zhixi's reputation today, and had it revealed, my old face would have been lost by you. The old lady admonished earnestly.

"Oh no, Mother, Zhi'er, Ye'er, I've been taken captive!" Mrs. Zhao's words, before they landed, the three old families of the Women's Courtyard broke into the door, panting into the door, and immediately closed the door again, panting to report the report.

"What's going on?! Speak slowly! The old lady rubbed her feet and stood up, and her face changed color.

It turned out that the two daughters of the third room of the Zhao family, since Jing Zhixi was sent to the women's dormitory to study, they have been unhappy: she didn't come to be a Pengmen girl who had poetry and books as a companion, but the two boudoir ladies had no chance of books. Because the master no longer came to teach, and there was no more Mr. in this Qi Wuyi, the two of them repeatedly told the grandmother Mrs. Zhao to send them both to the Zhao Mansion in the capital, and the county lord there studied private school at home together, and invited the prince and young master.

However, on this morning, the two went to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the capital, and were captured by several black-clothed people in the car and disappeared.

Yue's Zhao family is as anxious as ants in a hot pot; In the Zhao Mansion in the capital, secret agents searched everywhere, but to no avail that day.

The next day, the capital Zhao Mansion post envoy fast horse whip 500 miles urgently, rushed to the Yue Zhao family, did not get off the saddle has seen the Mansion outside the door waiting to welcome, homeopathic will be the secret letter handed over, the third trembling over, presented to the old lady, the post envoy turned over and dismounted, a group of people to the middle hall, closed the door to open the letter.

The letter said: I have found the two boudoirs in Guazhou, and I will return to Zhao and Wang'an in the near future.

When the old lady saw the letter, she calmed down, and said with a spring breeze: "The happy event is a good time, Mo'er, at this moment, you go and take your concubine's room back to the house." ”

The matter of taking a concubine, in her understatement of yesterday's words and today's words, hastily determined Jing Zhixi's life. There were no gongs and drums, no whips, and not even a sedan chair, so the master walked from the high hall of the front room into the back room, and led the person back, which was considered a ceremony.

The life of the Pengmen maid is destined to be so silent and obscure. Even so, it was a good ending.

"The good media doesn't ask the daughter of Pengmen, even if you are really the flesh and blood of the Jing family, you are just a granddaughter under the fence, the old lady loves you, she is willing to give you the title of a concubine, and she is married to the grandson of her top son, in the future, the glory of the Zhao family will not be enough for you to enjoy, what else do you not be satisfied with." At this time, in the servant's room, Mrs. Hao happened to persuade Jing Zhixi, who was sitting on the wooden bed board in the lower room, sobbing.

"With him, I'm just a rough maid, and it's much better than this 'entering the house'." Jing Zhixi just cried, and on her jade-like finely carved eyebrows, there was a piece of pear blossom with rain. She refused to dress up, put on the red dress, and simply ended her life.

"Ancestor, you really think you are a young lady's body, don't forget, you grew up in the same house as my mother-in-law, sleeping hard and eating leftovers. You don't think that there are eight sedan chairs, gongs and drums, such a simple grievance has wronged you, but don't say that your third uncle's two sisters are still missing, although it is inconvenient to give you a lot of publicity, even if they are not lost, you are just a concubine, what is a concubine? 'Li' as a concubine, she doesn't even have the right to sit! Where is there a concubine room that is still exalted. Besides, the treasury also let me get a few feet of cracked silk, and I also ripped your red clothes overnight, so I won't treat you badly when I enter the house like this. Mrs. Hao shook her face angrily and said: "I was born like that, what kind of do I expect to marry." ”

"Mother-in-law, you misunderstood me, it's not that I don't like the wedding is shabby, I just don't like Zhao Mengmo's prodigal." Jing Zhixi is usually timid, and Mrs. Hao didn't expect her to say such a rebellious remark, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand: "I see that you want to see the king of Hades, your body deed is pressed on the Zhao family, and if you are killed, you will be beaten in vain, think about the Ling Nu who was killed, you speak in a good way." ”

"I don't look down on me Zhao Mengmo, because who else is in my heart?" Zhao Mengmo walked into the house at this time, came to receive the kiss, and saw that Jing Zhixi was not yet wearing a wedding dress, so he clamped her pointed chin, and asked angrily: "Do you still dream of a sparrow becoming a phoenix?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Jing Zhixi thought, anyway, either the fish dies or the net is broken, she will die today and will not marry, and she doesn't have to be afraid of him Zhao Mengmo, so when she spoke, her tone was two points higher than usual, revealing a chill that was all lost.

"I won't hide it from you, your every word and deed, every move is under my surveillance, Jing Zhixi, you have a good background, a good backer, and a good means. Before and the capital Rongwang Zhao Mansion, your visiting brother, Qingqing and me, I can't climb up, and last night I broke into the inner room of the lord of Qingyaoyi, met with a foreign man privately, and the stupid boy of the Wu family blocked the sword for you. I haven't disliked your water-based poplar yet, but you still don't want to get up, do you really want to be a fairy? As he spoke, he slapped Jing Zhixi hard.

Jing Zhixi's fair face was covered with red marks, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

"You, shameless, sent someone to follow me." Jing Zhixi pointed at him angrily and said: "I still live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so I don't live as dark as you, playing tricks everywhere." "The focus of her attention is always to argue some minutiae that are not the point. Mrs. Hao only cared about her and motioned her to stop.

Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Zhao came in person, thinking that she should have come on the same road as Zhao Mengmo, but her legs and feet were a little slower, and when she heard these words, she said angrily: "Who are you talking to?!" Mo'er sent someone to follow you, and I did it to him. Is it up to you, like those village girls, to scatter wild all over the land, and it is up to you? ”

As she spoke, she was full of suspicion, turned to Zhao Mengmo and asked, "Why didn't I hear you say yesterday that Zhixi had trespassed into the inner room of the lord of Qingyi?" ”

"You didn't let me say it," Zhao Mengmo was really confused, and he still didn't understand that his grandmother misunderstood him last night, so she married Zhixi to him.

Mrs. Zhao shook her head helplessly, but her grandson was stupid, and said to Jing Zhixi: "Okay! Since you are of bad character and do not know how to lift, from now on, you will be in this wood-chamber and think about it behind closed doors, no one will give you a grain of rice or a drop of water, if you can't figure it out, you will die there, and no one will pity anything. ”

"And you, Mrs. Hao, you are bold!" Mrs. Zhao's voice was violent, and Mrs. Hao was frightened, and her knees knelt on the ground, not knowing what was wrong, but she heard the old lady continue to say: "You just told Zhixi about the two young ladies of her third uncle's family, how about it?" Tell me, what's wrong with them?! ”

The old lady did everything possible to block the news, strictly close the door, thinking that she was covering her ears and stealing the bell, what happened hundreds of miles away could be concealed strictly in this poor and remote place, but she was actually told to Zhixi by this Hao Pozi's sharp ears and words as a lecture, she couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Hao realized that she was proud of the spring breeze for a while, relying on serving by the old lady's side for decades, and after some wind in her ears, the girl in her house climbed up to the young master in charge again, and she was overjoyed, so she leaked her mouth for a while. At this time, it was the catastrophe that was coming, and he was busy slapping himself and kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Can't chew your tongue?!" The old lady didn't feel sorry for her broken bloody forehead, called two stout family members, and said coldly and lightly: "Pull out the root of your tongue, cut off your ears, and blast it out." ”

"Grandmother, please spare Granny Hao, she has served you for decades, without merit, and with hard work. You can't destroy her alive just because of a word. Jing Zhixi knelt down and kowtowed, pleading with Hao Pozi: "She hasn't said anything, and I haven't heard anything, these will rot in our hearts, just ask for grandmother's kindness." ”

"I can't save my own life, and I can still save the lives of others." Old Mrs. Zhao sneered, waved at Mrs. Hao, and motioned for her to go out and confess herself.

"Zhixi's life was originally given by her grandmother," Jing Zhixi said: "Even if it is returned to her grandmother now, it is difficult to repay the grace of nurturing and cultivating, but Granny Hao, she is not guilty of this." ”

"At this point, you don't count," said Mrs. Zhao, "When you can control everyone's lives, come and talk to me like this." ”

"Without a tongue, what face do I have?" Mrs. Hao was discouraged, and hit a thick pillar in the room headlong. Died in one day.

Mrs. Zhao thought that the blood stained her eyes, and her grandson, and walked out, the door was locked.

Leave Jing Zhixi, there, waiting for death, or waiting for awakening.

Waiting is the first old man in her life, Jing Zhixi knelt down and sent away the old lady and the young master, ran to Mrs. Hao, held her body that was still warm in her arms, and sat together in the dark and simple house, tears were already full of cheeks: "Mother-in-law, it was you who fed me in this house with a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of rice, and I haven't repaid you anything, but you are here, because of me, died in front of me." I was wrong, mother-in-law, wake up, wake up. ”

Jing Zhixi hugged her mother-in-law, the past is vivid, in this home, where there has never been warmth, she is careful everywhere, always cares about the family, it is this weather-filled, left and right secular person, helped her take the first step, and took her to learn to sweep the courtyard with a broom, serve tea and hand over plates, grind inkstones into ink, prune and prune leaves...... Review step by step, teach her how to get the capital to live in this world.

She is a vulgar person, but the heart of a vulgar person is more affectionate to Jing Zhixi than anyone in the house. If it weren't for her, Jing Zhixi would have lost her even the qualifications to live rudely. She has no children and no daughters, and her only livelihood is to serve the old lady well, thinking that she is respected, but in the end, she is still a mustard.

At that time, it was the first time in Jing Zhixi's life that she began to wonder whether it was important to keep her heart, or whether it was more important to cling to her heart and then live.

"If, if, I wear a wedding dress, mother-in-law, will you still die?" She cried for a long, long time, until there were no tears, only despair: "Will you be happy for me, I, I am highly married, then, in your old age, don't you have another entry to boast to your servant mother-in-law?" She imagined that if she had not been stubborn, if she had listened to the words of this nurturing person, the mother-in-law's proud face and posture in front of the servants. Then, the corners of her mouth smiled, so bitter, so cold.

She slowly walked to the wedding dress that her mother-in-law had made for her overnight, grabbed the cracked silk in her hand, and then draped it on her body: "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry." You wait for me, I want them, the scenery for you to be buried. ”

One person dies, one person is mistaken.
