Chapter 267: On the Way to Beijing (4)
Ye Mengmeng looked at it interestingly and asked, "You are a girl, and you are with a useless master like me, it is not easy to save this bit of silver, right?"
Chunxi sighed and said, "It's good that my sister knows, and the slave maid only has a little family background." She glanced at her sister, hesitated, and finally spoke. "Sister, in fact, this silver Chunxi was originally used for redemption in the future."
"Redemption?"
"Yes, there are rules in the mansion, as long as you have been in the mansion for ten years and have saved enough twenty taels of silver, you can redeem and return to your hometown. The slave maid entered the house when she was seven years old, and it has been almost ten years. β
Ye Mengmeng was stunned and asked, "Then have you saved enough money to redeem yourself?"
"It's almost, it's more than nineteen taels."
"If you use the money you ransom to buy me clothes, what will you do with your ransom?"
Chunxi smiled bitterly: "What else can I do?" I had to stop it. Sister, your affairs have not been done, how can you let the slave and maid redeem themselves and leave? β
"My business? What's the matter with me? Ye Mengmeng didn't react for a while.
"Sister!" Chunxi was helpless and a little anxious. "You're about to turn eighteen, and you're still so muddy, how can you flirt? If you don't find someone to marry as soon as possible, no one will want you if you delay it for a few more years. β
"Marry?" Ye Mengmeng almost choked on saliva, "You...... Are you sure you're serious? Feeling comfortable alone? β
"Sister!" Chunxi couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You are crazy for a while, stupid for a while, and sober and normal for a while, and the slaves and maids don't know what to do with you?" Have you ever wondered what to do in the future? Is it just like that? Sister, even if you are willing to stay in your mother's house and not leave, Mrs. doesn't want to support you for the rest of your life. Otherwise, what is she taking you out for this time? β
"What for?"
"Sister, sister," Chunxi said in a low voice, "Madame, she only has her daughter in her heart, and the reason why she brought you out is only because you are still a little useful to her." What's the use? It's not yet a stepping stone for her daughter to climb up. Once you're running out of value, she'll throw you away without hesitation. Match people casually or simply sell them to others. Therefore, the slave must find a home for her sister to rely on for life before she acts. In this way, the slave and maid can feel at ease. β
Hearing Ye Meng's words, Ye Meng was in a daze. A girl with a clear and organized brain, but I don't know why she was buried in the firewood room for three years?
At the same time, she was also a little moved, there are indeed many girls who can think so hard about their master, especially if this master is a waste material.
"That," she coughed, "Chunxi, thank you for envisioning me and spending your redemption money, sister, I'm very touched...... It's true! β
Chunxi sighed and said: "Sister, if you don't thank you, you don't have to, since the slave and maid are with you, they naturally have to do their duty." The slave and maid don't expect anything else, but only hope that the sister can find a good home and not worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, so the slave and maid will be completely relieved. β
Ye Mengmeng was moved again, her eyes were a little red, with such a loyal girl by her side, what reason did she have to be lazy and decadent? She nodded, and said with a straight face: "Chunxi, I know my own affairs, I am actually pretending to be seen by others on the surface, I am not really confused, don't worry about me."
Chunxi was overjoyed and said, "Sister, it's a lot more relieved to have your words."
Ye Mengmeng sighed, it seems that this girl is bent on selling her, but doesn't she understand that with Qiao Fuyi in front, what good relatives will be her turn? What's more, she doesn't want to get married, now that she has space and lacks nothing, isn't she comfortable alone, and she has to find a man to add to the blockage?
But she didn't dare to tell Chunxi these words, otherwise this girl would have to talk bitterly for half the night.
Nothing was said all night.
Since it takes two days and two nights for Kaizhou to go to the capital by water, the Ye family still has to travel one waterway on the boat to reach the capital.
Not long after the dawn, the breakfast had not been eaten, Ye Mengmeng's master and servant had just gotten up, and suddenly there was a messy footstep outside the door, and the cabin door was vigorously pushed open with a "bang". Ye Rong stood at the door with an angry face, and behind her, there were several girls.
Chunxi chuckled in her heart, thinking, early in the morning to make trouble, I don't know who provoked her? She hurriedly got up to greet her, and put on a smile.
"Second sister, come over early in the morning, but what's the ...... to finish?"
Before she could say a word, Ye Rong had already raised her arm and slapped her hard.
"Smack!"
The slap was loud and crisp, making Chunxi dizzy and almost falling.
"Dog minion, get out of here!" Ye Rong glared at her viciously, and then walked up to Ye Mengmeng.
Ye Mengmeng glanced at her wrist. Empty, nothing, my heart suddenly understood. She pretended not to understand anything, and just looked up at her.
"Slut!" Ye Rong spit out two words from between her teeth, raised her right hand, and smashed an object on Ye Mengmeng's face.
"Whew!" Ye Mengmeng was so painful that her face cramped.
"Sister-" Chunxi was afraid that her sister would be beaten, and wanted to pounce on her to save the lord, but she was caught by Ye Rong's girls.
Chunxi struggled desperately, but where could she break free?
Ye Mengmeng bent down to pick up the thing on the ground, but wasn't it her red jade bracelet? It's just that this bracelet is so strange, it looks like her bracelet, but it's not very similar. Her bracelet was crystal clear and attractive, while this bracelet was dull and looked foggy and not transparent at all.
Ye Mengmeng frowned, deliberately puzzled, and said, "Second sister, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Rong gritted her teeth and glared angrily, "You slut, you dare to use inferior goods to deceive my sister's golden hairpin, it's really not bold!" β
"I don't understand, what's yours?" Ye Mengmeng continued to pretend to be stupid.
"Slut, dare to pretend to be stupid? Give me back the golden hairpin! Ye Rong shouted angrily.
"Golden hairpins?" Ye Mengmeng hurriedly reached out and touched her head, her face changed, "Suffer, why is the golden hairpin gone?" β
"Noβinβanymore?" Ye Rong's eyes were almost bursting with fire.
"Hey, where did you go? Obviously you still laughed last night? Ye Mengmeng lowered her head and rummaged east, looking west, but still didn't find it.
"Hurry up and look carefully, I can't find that my sister cut your head today to feed the fish in the river!" Ye Rong's expression was a little hideous.
"Don't worry," Ye Mengmeng shrank when she heard that she cut people's heads to feed the fish, tilted her head and thought about it seriously, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Aha, I remembered!" β
"Where?" Ye Rong probed her body, and she was about to pounce and grab it.
