Yi'er smiled: "Washing under the moon is not a chore." ”

Yi'er said it easily, but the young man knew in his heart that the spring was cold and the water was cold, not to mention such a cool night, if he really had a choice, who would come out to wash clothes at this time?

At this time, Yi'er had already picked up the wooden basin from the ground, skillfully set up a board by the stream, and no longer cared about the young man, and washed it directly, she had limited time, lest the girl wake up from a dream, but she was not there to serve.

The young man was unprecedentedly interested in the little girl, so he walked over slowly and said, "Which house is your girl?" ”

"Xichangbo Mansion."

"Xichangbo Mansion?" The boy read it again, he only traveled over for more than a month, he didn't know much about this other world, plus he was depressed, how could he be in the mood to inquire about any news, more than a month, it was just a little bit of a figuration of his own identity, so he really didn't know what Xichangbo Mansion was, he opened his mouth for a while, wanted to ask more details, but he didn't know where to start, and finally said: "My name is He Rui." ”

I don't know why, but what he said was the name of his previous life, but the name of this life was hidden in his mouth.

Yi'er nodded, blinked, and sighed.

The boy had a strange feeling in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, in his previous life, his mind was full of revenge, and he was unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, he did everything he could, he was cold and indifferent, whether it was a subordinate or a partner, he was evasive, how could he dare to come forward and talk to him easily? And after crossing over, the depression in his heart is difficult to eliminate, and he has become more and more violent, and his personality has become more and more violent.

On weekdays, he has never cared about anyone or anything, but at this time, he has a trace of exploration of the little girl in front of him, and a strange feeling rises in his heart.

"Do you come here often to do laundry?"

"Yes."

"All at this time?"

Yi'er was busy with her hands before, answering casually, but at this time, she raised her head, looked at the young man, and said: "Childe, Yi'er is just a maidservant, this place is too remote, and Childe's identity is precious... ”

The young man frowned, interrupted Yi'er's words, and said, "This will remind you of teasing people, why did you say so many things to me at the beginning, and what kind of story did you deliberately tell to entertain you?" ”

Yi'er couldn't help but smile bitterly, at first she thought that the young man had the intention of seeking death, so she naturally racked her brains to explain to him, at this time it seemed that she would be wrong, plus this person was dressed extraordinarily, it was expected that it must be a noble young master, this origin is clear, she is a maid and servant, how can she make friends with such a nobleman? What's more, there is a difference between men and women, although she is a subordinate, she can't avoid showing her head, but talking alone with a man at night like this, being seen by someone with a heart, it is inevitable that she will be charged with a private confession, so she has to say: "My girl will return to Xichangbo Mansion in Beijing's Yundu recently, so I 。。。。。 ”

"Back to Beijing?" After a pause, the young man took out a jade pendant from his arms, couldn't help but say, and stuffed it into Yi'er's hand, saying. "Back to Yundu, what's the matter, go to the word alley in the west of the city, cross the third courtyard of the archway, there are two stone lions at the door, take this jade pendant, and someone will naturally take you to see the lord at that time."

Yi'er was stunned, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but the young man had already taken a few steps back and said, "Master knows your scruples, but this world is unfair to women, especially if you are still this identity." The master has something in his heart, he was depressed and irritable, and after chatting with you, I feel much better, and this jade pendant is also a reward for you. ”

"But I...

At this time, in the night, countless torches came from far and near accompanied by shouts.

The young man held his mouth helplessly, and said, "The person looking for the master is here, the master has to leave first, remember to come back to Jingshi to find me." After saying that, no matter what Yi'er's reaction was, he hurried away, and after meeting with a few people under the torch, he heard a few complaints from a distance, and the torch and the voice gradually went away.

Yi'er pouted, looked at the jade pendant in her hand, the material was crystal clear, blue and white, at a glance, although Yi'er didn't understand jade, she also knew that this thing was only worth a lot of money, shook her head, and had to put it into her close-fitting clothes.

After washing the clothes, Yi'er returned to Xichangbo's courtyard, and Mrs. Jiang, who was in the gatehouse, was already asleep, so she only left the door as Yi'er said when she went out.

Xichangbo is not big in the courtyard under the mountain, only two entering, entering from the outer door, crossing the inner door of the mountain willow courtyard, there are only five houses, the main house is in the middle, one ear room on the left and right, and the other four, symmetrical standing, Yier entered the inner door, first glanced at the house in the east side, saw that the lights had been turned off early, and couldn't help but hold his mouth, so he dried up the wet clothes in the yard, wiped the hands that were almost frozen on the cotton clothes and tiptoed into the main house.

There was no light in the house, and there was no movement, Yi'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment, she saw an emaciated figure in the mosquito net sitting there on the embroidery bed inside, silent, motionless.

Yi'er was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled up the mosquito net, and said softly: "Girl, why are you awake?" Are you hungry, the stove should still be hot with the lotus seed porridge at night, why don't I bring you a bowl? ”

The woman on the bed is fourteen or fifteen years old, her face is thin, she is a beauty, but her face is pale and ugly, she looks unusually haggard, she is the third daughter of Jiang Shuqing, the son of Xichang Bo Mansion in Xichang Bo, her name is Jiang Jufang, but her identity is really embarrassing, her mother is just Jiang Shuqing's outer room, she was only accepted into Xichang Bo Mansion by Jiang Shuqing three years ago, two months ago, her mother collided with Mrs. Shizi, after a family law, she was put into the courtyard under the mountain together with Jiang Jufang, Her mother was injured by a family law, and she couldn't survive in the other courtyard, and she gave up half a month ago, Jiang Jufang was sad, and she cried and fainted several times in half a month.

Half a month ago, Xichang Bofu sent another Zhao mother over, and in a few words, she brought an amazing news, Jiang Shuqing, the son of Xichang Bo, her father actually married her to Geng Zhong in the Ministry of Langzhong, you must know that Geng Zhong is nearly fifty years old, and he died in the first year, and there are as many as five sons and daughters alone, and the eldest son is over thirty years old, twice as old as Jiang Jufang, not to mention those concubines and concubines.

Forget it, from Zhao's mother's mouth, Jiang Jufang also learned the truth about her mother's collision with Mrs. Shizi, which was also related to this marriage, where could she hold on for a while, and fainted to death, and after the doctor came over and rescued her, Jiang Jufang was the appearance in front of her, silent, and sad.

Seeing that Jiang Jufang didn't react, Yi'er sighed in her heart, stood up, and was about to go to the stove room to serve porridge, but she didn't want Jiang Jufang to suddenly grab her wrist, a trace of resoluteness flashed in her eyes, and said, "I won't marry her!" ”

She had a lot of strength in her hands, and Yi'er was caught by her, but she held her hands and comforted softly: "If the girl doesn't want to marry, we won't marry, there is always a way." ”

Jiang Jufang was full of resentment, and said: "It was because of this marriage that my mother went to ask Mrs. regardless of life or death, but in the end, they falsely accused her of colliding with Mrs., and my mother lost her life because of this, it was me, I killed my mother." In order to catch up with the minister, the lord did not hesitate to lose the happiness of my life, and indirectly killed my mother, haha, but now that my mother is gone, without the care of my mother, what bargaining chips do they have to let me live obediently according to their vision? ”

After a pause, Jiang Jufang looked at Yi'er again and said, "Yi'er, you said, the old man racked his brains to catch up with Geng Zhong, the old man, but in the end, not only did this road not go through, but instead offended people in vain, and killed his mother, you say, is this called losing his wife and breaking his army?" ”

Yi'er's heart jumped, and after listening to Jiang Jufang's words, although she didn't know what her girl was going to do, she always had a very bad feeling intuitively.

It's just that in the next few days, Jiang Jufang was unusual, or maybe she figured it out, she began to eat every meal, take medicine on time, and even, every dusk, she was helped by Yi'er to walk around outside the courtyard, like this, after a few days, her face was a little more colorful, and she seemed to be much more energetic.

Mother Zhao was originally here to pick up people, but Jiang Jufang's health was so poor before, and it took half a month to go to Yundu in the carriage, where could Jiang Jufang bear it? Although Zhao's mother was anxious, she didn't dare to urge, after all, this girl was married when she took it back, if she took it back was a cold corpse, she was afraid that Mrs. would have to kill her, so she had to send a letter back to explain the situation here, and at the same time asked the doctor to take care of Jiang Jufang's body.

However, Jiang Jufang was discouraged before, and seemed to have lost interest in everything, the medicine stone did not enter, the porridge and rice were not eaten, so that her health was getting worse and worse, Zhao's mother was anxious but had nothing to do, so she had to transfer all the rough maids around Jiang Jufang away angrily, leaving Yi'er alone to serve.

Now seeing that Jiang Jufang seems to have figured it out, she is naturally happy, and in a hurry, she pulled out two second-class girls, and four rough girls went to the main room to serve, and for several days in a row, she ordered the stove to simmer and stew with various supplements, and the fire was not extinguished for twelve hours a day, as long as Jiang Jufang wanted to eat, someone would immediately bring it to her.

It's just that, unlike Zhao's mother's happiness, Yi'er saw Jiang Jufang like this, but her heart became more and more worried.
