After careful questioning, I learned that Mama Jiang was working under the late grandmother, and was not Xie Yuyuan's companion. Because the original head of the second room, Mama Shi, went to take care of her for a long time, so Mama Jiang took over.

is not his own servant, and it is natural to use it to disagree, and beating and scolding is a common thing. Mama Jiang relied on her gentleness and tactfulness to establish prestige among the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, but she still couldn't protect her daughter.

Liluo is a sensible and stoic girl, she was wronged, but because she didn't want to embarrass her mother, she never complained to her mother. She endured the torture that had been inflicted on her body in the second room over the years. She was afraid that Shuying would also exert her power on her like them, so she would be so afraid.

"I don't force you, if you want to, just stay!"

Shuying recalled the back of Mama Jiang when she left that day, and she didn't know that she had borne such a heavy burden.

"In Liluo's heart, she only recognizes the girl as a master! The day before yesterday, the girl gave me red bean cake, and I decided that the girl was a good person! Riraku smiled happily while wiping her tears.

Shuying understands that although there is no great truth of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, Liluo also treats her with a piece of ice.

An Yue came in with the medicine, saw that the two of them were a little crying, and said with a smile: "What are you whispering behind my back?" Is it embarrassing to cry when you are such an adult? ”

"You're used to making fun of people! Look at your sharp teeth, probably no one in the world can say anything about you. Shuying sat up from the bed, An Yue put a pillow behind her, and then held the medicine for her to drink.

She suddenly said, "Liluo, I have something to ask you to pay attention to." ”

"The girl commands." The pear fell and bowed slightly.

"Be careful, help me keep an eye on the movements in the fourth room......" Shuying wiped the bitter taste from her mouth with a silk, and picked up a piece of candied fruit from the plate and held it.

Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, it's time for pear to be loyal. It's up to her to do it, and it's the least suspicious.

Yesterday in the mourning hall, Shuying had already noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Zhou's eyes when he looked at her, coupled with the strange words that Xie Yujiao said to her that night - telling her to stay away from everyone in the fourth room, it was difficult not to be suspicious.

Liluo told everything he knew, and described it very vaguely: Lu Zhou is lustful and violent, and there have been several romantic cases in the Hou Mansion over the years, and most of the ladies have avoided him, even Xie Yujiao is very afraid of him, and the only one who can control him is Xie Yuyuan.

Shuying lazily fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist, looked at the light to confirm that there was no bump and wear, turned her head to stare at Liluo, and said:

"I've been here for a long time, and I'm not here to stir things up or make jokes. They must not be allowed to stir up a stir and bring harm to our little courtyard. You pay attention first. Remember, if you can't make it and come back quickly, the most important thing is to protect yourself! ”

-

On the seventh day of the halt, the coffin of Lu Cheng, the son of the Marquis of Huaiyong, set off from the Hou Mansion and was sent to the mountains outside the city in the north.

After Lu Cheng had no queen, he was mourned by Lu Hong, the grandson of the Lu family's long house. Most of the gentlemen and gentry in Jinling City set up road sacrifices, and they were also thanked and greeted by the old marquis of Lu Hongbin's generation.

When the sparse shadow disease returns, the rules still have to be observed. Even though she had a cold and a terrible headache, she still forced herself to go to the mourning hall and showed her face a few times, and completed the scene.

In the next few days, she was not well ill, and occasionally people came to the courtyard to visit the sick, most of them were inconsequential relatives of the side branches, and they sat down and left. Thinking about it, it is nothing more than believing in the sentence "There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door", it just so happens that she doesn't like to be lively and doesn't like to talk, but she has to deal with people.

Lu Yang of the third room and Lu Xiuqin, the daughter of the Liu family, are different from others, and they like to run to this courtyard the most. The two are of the same age, and they are the most able to speak. Shuying is naturally most willing to associate with such a straightforward and open-minded person.

is also because Xiuqin is the first person who does not sincerely communicate with her in the name of the elder after she arrived in the Hou Mansion, and may also be her only friend in the Hou Mansion.

On this day, Shuying's spirit was slightly better, and his face was not so pale, but his hands were still shaking when he picked up the pen, so he had to ask An Yue to write a letter to Shentu Town.

It happened that Xiuqin was in a panic in her own yard, so she came alone with an umbrella despite the afternoon sun.

"I didn't expect Sister An Yue to be able to write, or my little aunt would be able to train me!" Xiuqin said in amazement, her demeanor and demeanor were like a lively and agile deer.

"You don't know, I did something wrong, my brother often ordered me to copy books a hundred times a night, who can? An Yue was also forced to practice, she has some talent, she can learn it, and now she is afraid that she can write better than me! ”

Shuying said as he untied his shirt and brought a pu fan to shake the fan for An Yue. The silk fan used a few days ago was too plain and too small, and it had already been put away by An Yue.

In her heart, Shentu Town is like a brother and a father. In the past few years, it has been all thanks to him that he has been able to take a breather in the storm.

After taking in Xie Shuying, Shen Tuzhen treated her like a sister, and never let her talent be wasted: Mo Sheng said that the Mo family had many daughters and opened a girls' school, so he asked her to follow the girls of the Mo family to study etiquette, and often asked her about her homework on weekdays;

Second, I always take care of her daily life in my spare time, and I am the first to think of her when I get any good things, and the two enjoy it together. Needless to say, the details of the side.

In addition, if someone says behind their backs that they are too intimate and have crossed the defense, they will definitely be taught a hard lesson by Shentu Town. Almost the entire Jinling City knew about it, and he didn't dare to chew the root of his tongue.

In fact, what is even more unprovoked is the "backer" behind Xie Shuying - the Huaiyong Marquis Mansion. She was assigned to marry the prince of Huaiyong at a young age, and few people dared to really despise the powerful and challenge her.

Even if there is, it will definitely be beaten back by Shen Tu......

As soon as he thought of this, Shuying smiled unconsciously, and a shimmering light appeared in his apricot-like eyes.

An Yue pouted and complained: "Sister Qin'er, it's not because our girl is lazy!" I can only draw dragons and phoenixes, but I can't write the serious little letters. ”

Shuying gently touched An Yue with a pu fan, and said angrily: "You dare to play with the master like this in front of outsiders, and if you say this, I will drive you back!" ”

"Aunt Xiao and Sister An Yue are like sisters, not like master and servant."

Shuying and An Yue looked at each other and smiled, the taste of which was only known to the two of them.

When Shuying lived in the village, An Yue was the youngest daughter of the village. They forced Shuying to chop wood and do laundry, but how could she do this, it was all taught by An Yue.

When Mrs. Xu and Shentu Zhen took her into Shentu Mansion, Shuying begged them to take An Yue back together and be a maid for herself. Since then, she has taught An Yue to learn the rules, taught her to write and read, and now she has developed the appearance of half a young lady.

"Don't be like this in private, your 'little aunt' can call people teenagers!"

Xiuqin was so happy that she hurriedly changed her name to Sister Ying, and she brought her favorite pink silk flower and put it on Xiuqin's soft and low-hanging bun.

After experiencing this incident, she really felt as if she was ten years older, and if she didn't want to see people, dressing up was useless to herself.

In the final analysis, I still envy these innocent and carefree little girls, like Xie Shuying who ran crazy in the garden on a hot day.

After the letter was written, she asked An Yue to personally send it to the concierge of the West Gate later. Liluo happened to come in at this moment, and she glanced at Shuying, as if she had something to say to her.

Shuying knew that it was something she told her to do a few days ago, and she might have eyebrows, so she asked An Yue to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of mung bean soup for Xiuqin to drink, and she pulled Liluo to the hugging building to talk.

"Girl, the slave asked Bingrui in the fourth grandmother's room about the fourth master......"

Liluo was very uneasy, and her body swayed like a sieve, as if she didn't have the courage to say it. In the hot weather, a layer of sweat broke out on both of their foreheads and necks.

Shuying walked to the window and looked around Baoxia, made sure that there was no one else, and hugged her arm, "It's okay, you just tell the truth." ”

"I begged Sister Bingrui for a long time before she told me that the fourth master was ...... He's a womanizer...... She told me to tell the girl to be very careful not to provoke him...... The girl in the fourth grandmother's room...... He ...... it all," Riro cried as she covered her mouth in fear.

"They're all involved, aren't they?" Shuying clutched the pu fan tightly in his hand, and his knuckles turned white.

Riro nodded and hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve.

She held Liluo's hand, and tears dripped down the back of her hand.

"It's true that you have to be vigilant everywhere, but it's not a good idea to cry all the time. In the future, we can only feel at ease when we face it together! ”
