Chapter 11: The Past

After that, Wang Po quickly prepared the meal, and I followed Wang Po to bring the food to the table, and this time in the young master's study.

After the dishes on the table were served, when the young master moved the chopsticks, I slowly picked up my small bowl and began to eat quietly.

This time I ate very slowly, maybe I didn't have an appetite.

The last time I had such an appetite was a long time ago, just a few days after entering the mansion.

I was so unappetizing in those days, but I was persuaded to finally take a big gulp.

The man went home a year later and got married, because she came to Liufu to work, and although everyone was a slave, she was much more free than us to sign a death contract.

As long as she reaches the age of marriage, she can choose not to do it, and she has been a maid for a few years, and the money plus the reward given by the owner is usually considered to have saved a little money as a dowry, and she will naturally not be despised when she arrives at her in-law's house.

As for the background of being a maid, everyone is bitter haha, who doesn't dislike anyone, everyone lives together together.

Only large families care about people's origins, and only here, you will find that people are also divided into three, six, five, and so on.

It is said that it is easy to forget things when people are young, and after a period of time, or a few years, they will forget it.

But there are some that are too unforgettable, so I dare not forget, the helpless father that day, and the aunt who has been crying, the anxious steward, and the string of rock sugar gourds.

As for that string of rock sugar gourds, I actually haven't eaten a bite.

Today, because of the young master, I finally tasted the taste of parting, which was sour.

At that time, my father handed me the rock sugar gourd, but I was reluctant to eat it, and wanted to keep taking it home and eating it with my brother.

Although I was brought in, I still didn't eat because I was convinced that my parents would come to pick me up.

But they never came, I waited for a long time, and then the string of rock sugar gourds rotted, so I didn't wait any longer.

"Erya, what's wrong, you eat so slowly, are you unhappy?"

Hearing what the young master said, he tried not to think about what he had done at the beginning and concentrate on eating.

But I still said, "Young master, I'm not upset, I'm just thinking about something." ”

"Oh, is that so?"

In order not to let the young master continue to ask, I ate and drank soup in large gulps, just like before.

After that, no one continued to speak, and they were all concentrating on eating, until everyone put down their chopsticks, and lunch was over.

"Erya, serve these dishes first, keep the empty bowl, I will clean it up, and then go back to the house and wait for me."

"Yes, mother-in-law."

Place the dish carefully on a long wooden plate so that the oil does not flow out, so that it will walk smoothly and steadily.

"Lady Wang, what's wrong with Erya? She seemed to be very sad, and she looked very reluctant when she was eating just now. ”

"Young master, it's because of the string of sugar gourds you gave at noon."

"Huh?"

"Young master, when Erya was sold into the house, it is said that she was still holding a string of sugar gourds tightly in her hand, which should have been bought for her by her parents."

"Meaning, I did something bad with good intentions?"

"Yes, young master, it's really inappropriate for you to do this, you are the master, she is a slave, young master, you don't need to please her."

"Okay, Mrs. Wang, I know, by the way, where is Erya's deed?"

"I'm sorry young master, Erya's identity deed is in the hands of the one in the Golden Jade Academy, and I can't ask for it."

"It's okay, in the future, on the condition that I leave Liufu, I will ask her for some benefits, and by the way, I will also come to Erya's deed, but for a long time, I have to be careful of her methods."

Seeing that Liu Ming was contemplating the future, Wang Po didn't bother much, cleaned up the remaining dishes and chopsticks and left.

Wang Po admires the intelligence of her young master Liu Ming very much, and her insight far exceeds that of her father, that is, Liu Wen, the lord of Liufu.

And Liu Wen and Liu Ming's mother are actually childhood sweethearts who grew up together and have played together since childhood.

Liu Ming's mother's name is Zhao Rou, and she is the daughter of a wang clan in Qingshui County.

The ancestral house of the Liu family is also in Qingshui County, but now it is managed by the Liu family's big house.

The two generations of the Liu family are prosperous, but the Zhao family only gave birth to three daughters, and there are no sons to inherit the family business.

Although it is said that there is no son, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao are also very affectionate, and they were rumored to be a good story at that time, envying others.

Now Mrs. Wang is Mrs. Zhao's personal maid, and she is seven or eight years younger than Mrs. Zhao, and the relationship between them is also very good, it can be said that they are sisters, and later asked her to take care of her young daughter.

The eldest daughter of the Zhao family married into the famous Wang family of Beijun, the third son of the Wang family.

And the second daughter is married to a patrol royal history, a hard official position, fortunately, with the support of her mother's family, her life is not poor.

The last young daughter, that is, Zhao Rou, is young and a little sick, so she is favored by her parents and sisters, and she also has her own ideas.

I want to marry the person I like, I don't want to spend the rest of my life with someone I don't love, and I want to take the initiative to pursue my love.

Liu Wen is a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, although when he grows up, he rarely meets in order to avoid suspicion.

But Liu Wen is a rare good man in Qingshui County, and he is known as a talent in Qingshui, and even Master Zhao said that he is a rare pillar of talent.

Coupled with the occasional encounter on the street, the two families often come and go, Liu Wen's handsome figure slowly walked into the heart of a girl named Zhao Rou, and left a deep imprint.

That year, Liu Wen went to the capital to participate in a scientific expedition.

Zhao Rou secretly waited for him in the pavilion outside the city, which was a farewell and a blessing, but he still showed his heart.

Zhao Rou got up early that day, took her maid, and went to the pavilion early to wait for a passerby.

After bidding farewell to his parents, Liu Wen took his domestic servants to ride a carriage along the official road, they first rushed to the county capital Baishui City, and then took a boat directly to the capital Jinyang.

Liu Wen in the carriage is imagining the nomination of the Golden Palace for the imperial examination, and then the king is entrusted with important tasks, the herdsmen are on one side, and then they are high above the court, and finally after his death, he is written as a biography, and the Qing history is famous.

Suddenly, the groom who was driving the car in front spoke: "Young master, the third young lady of the Zhao family seems to be waiting for you in the pavilion in front, do you want to see her?" ”

Liu Wen thought for a while, and then said to the coachman: "It's reasonable, I should see her, after all, she also sent me on a special trip, and it won't take long to wait in the pavilion in front." ”

After a while, after the coachman stopped the carriage, Liu Wen slowly stepped out of the carriage and entered the pavilion.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Liu Wen preemptively said: "Sister Rou, get up so early, you are not afraid of catching a cold, so let's go back early." If you're sick, I'm guilty. ”

"Brother Wen, you don't want to make fun of me, I originally wanted to give you Zheliu, but I thought about it carefully, you should have a broader place to display your talents, so my little sister gave me a hand-embroidered white silk chrysanthemum handkerchief, I don't know if my brother likes it."

After saying this, Zhao Rou's face was a little more flushed.
