Chapter 23, Punishment for Kneeling in the Ancestral Hall (2)
Du Jingrou's teeth itched when she heard the words: "After so many years, why didn't I see that she was a scheming?" ”
Du Jingxian has always disliked to talk about others, and she is humble and reasonable.
"Well, maybe she really didn't mean it!"
The eldest lady glanced at Du Jingxian when she heard this, how could she give birth to such a stupid girl, if it sounds good, it is simple, and if it is not good, it is stupid! If I enter the palace one day, I'm afraid I don't even know how I died.
"Xian'er, you are too simple, today is lucky, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not to blame, if you don't discipline her strictly, I'm afraid our whole family will be affected by her in the future."
Du Chengqian also thought about it repeatedly, and felt that no matter how strict discipline is, it is always right.
"From tomorrow onwards, if you will be in charge! Don't make another incident. ”
The eldest lady was proud when she heard this, and she was thinking, hum, little slut, look at how I clean you up.
"Yes, please rest assured, the concubine will work tirelessly to share the worries of the master."
Du Chengqian nodded: "Hmm!" After a while, he picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat.
The sky gradually darkened, there were already a few candles glowing with warm yellow candlelight in the ancestral hall, Du Ruoruo sat in front of the ancestral hall, it had been 5 hours, she knelt when someone came, she sat when no one was around, she still knew how to behave, if she knelt for a night, she would become a cripple.
The rest is fine, but I'm so hungry! It's been gurgling in protest.
At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps, and Du Ruoruo immediately pretended to continue to kneel.
Du Jingxian shouted softly: "Ruoruo! Ruo Ruo! ”
When Du Ruoruo heard this, she turned around and saw that it was Du Jingxian, she had only seen Du Jingxian once in these days in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although only once, but she was deeply impressed.
After all, a soft beauty like Du Jingxian is difficult to ignore, and her smile reveals a feminine demeanor.
"Eldest sister, why are you here?"
Du Jingxian took out two buns from her arms and stuffed them into Du Ruoruo's hands: "If I don't come, won't you be hungry all night!" ”
Du Ruoruo sniffed the bun in his hand vigorously, "Hmm...... Fragrant! Sister, you're so nice. As he spoke, he picked up the bun and devoured it.
"Ruoruo, you eat slowly, I have to go, if my mother finds out, I will be miserable."
Du Jingxian didn't dare to linger for a moment, it turned out that when Du Ruoruo was punished, she would be caught by the eldest lady every time she came to deliver charcoal in the snow, and then scolded her.
Du Ruoruo said vaguely with a bun in his mouth: "Well, go quickly, thank you!" ”
After speaking, Du Jingxian quietly left, Du Ruoruo was very grateful to Du Jingxian for the two buns she sent, after all, the friendship in the snow is far more sincere than the icing on the cake.
Du Ruoruo gnawed on the bun and suddenly missed her family very much, and missed her father and mother at home.
She must try to find a way to travel back, and even if she can't find it, she will work hard to save money, and when the time is right, she will escape from this place where there are many rules and intrigues.
Alas! How do you stay up all night? Du Ruoruo heard the footsteps again, she immediately hid the bun, wiped her mouth, and continued to kneel.
"Third Miss!"
Du Ruoruo looked back and saw that it was Qiu Xiang.
"Why are you here?"
Qiu Xiang leaned over and knelt in front of Du Ruoruo, and took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms, she slowly opened it layer by layer, it turned out to be steamed buns.
"Third Miss, Qiu Xiang left you a steamed bun, don't dislike it."
Du Ruoruo looked at the big white steamed bun, and her heart was moved, and she couldn't imagine that someone was still thinking about her in this strange place.
"Thank you, did you eat at night?"
Qiu Xiang was silent for a moment, and then said, "Third Miss, I'm not hungry. ”
Du Ruoruo pushed the steamed bun to Qiu Xiang and took out the freshly bitten bun from his arms.
"Look, I have it too, let's eat together!"
Qiu Xiang and Du Ruoruo both smiled instantly, and then the two of them ate together.
