Chapter Seventy-Seven: Listen to the Past
"Who's there?"
Yujun walked over and opened the curtain with her hand, and Ah Lian knelt down when she saw this and said, "The slave has disturbed Miss." ”
Yujun sat down, looked at Ah Lian, and asked, "In the middle of the night, you don't sleep, you run to me, sneaky, what are you doing?" ”
Ah Lian looked up at Yujun: "It was Sister Caixiu who ordered the slave maid to accompany Miss." Sister Caixiu said that she didn't worry about Miss alone, so she asked the slave maid to come and see Miss, and wait for Miss to drink water and grind ink at any time. ”
Yujun saw that her voice was trembling, not like lying, so she said curiously: "Then why don't you come in and serve, and hide outside the gauze tent?" ”
When Ah Lian heard this, she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Slave maid, slave maid saw that the young lady was reading a book, I am afraid that the young lady is looking at it intently, and she is disturbed by the slave maid, so she does not dare to come in." ”
Yujun smiled slightly, "You are sensible." And he said, "Get up and talk back." There aren't many maids in our pear garden, and I'm just a young lady, so I don't know how to put up a fight, so you must not kneel around at every turn. I'm embarrassed. ”
"Hey." Affiliation eagerly agreed, then patted her clothes and got up.
Yujun seemed to think of something, and ordered: "In my pear blossom courtyard, Caixiu has been with me for a long time, and she has always put me first in everything, but she asked you to accompany me, but she is not very good at doing things." I remember during the day, Yu Cong said that you are very sick, and if you are not in good health, you don't have to get up at night to serve. Take care of it, do a good job of serving tea and water during the day, and after a long time, your body and bones will be well raised, and you will do more work. In the future, when it comes to Chinese New Year's Eve, I will accompany the aunts and guests to eat during the day, and I will catch the hour to read at night, and I will not push back the reason for you to serve me. There is no such atmosphere of working day and night in our Wenfu. I see that you are thin and weak, and you don't look like a person who can do too much work, if any girl in the yard sees that you are weak and thin-skinned, and likes to trouble you to do things, you will push me back. Understandable? ”
Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't speak, Yujun hurriedly said, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Looking at her again, her shoulders trembled, as if she was holding back tears, so she lowered her head and said, "Who bullied you?" ”
Ah Lian wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "It's the young lady who treats the slave and maid so well, and the slave and maid can't help crying." ”
Yujun was stunned, quite puzzled: "Isn't it human nature for a master to treat a slave well?" If the master treats the slave badly, he is not worthy to be the master. The book says that virtue is not worthy, and if I treat you badly, I will not be worthy of you. Treat you well, it is not only human nature, my nature does not like to see someone being bullied, but also my virtue as a master, why do you cry, treat you well, it is as it should be. ”
Ah Lian wiped her tears: "It's the first time that the slave maid has heard such a truth that makes people want to cry." ”
Yujun was even more puzzled: "Why are you crying again?" ”
Ah Lian shook her head: "If every master has such an awareness as Miss Yujun, the slave and maid will not cry." ”
Yujun's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she understood that Ah Lian must have been bullied a lot in the Peach Leaf Pavilion, and couldn't help but be surprised: "I thought that Madame was reasonable, could it be that Madame treats you badly?" ”
Ah Lian laughed at herself: "The slave and maid are stupid, how can they serve the lady." I didn't even see my wife's face two or three times, and told the young lady the truth that the slave maid was a third-class maid in the Peach Leaf Pavilion, and she was still a slave in the Wen Mansion. Most of the maids in the Peach Leaf Pavilion are the dowries of the ladies, and those dowry girls are all familiar with each other in the past, and they are indispensable to bully the shy slaves. At the beginning, the slave and maid really talked little, and they didn't know how to refute it when they were bullied, they saw that I had a good temper, so they bullied me one by one, and then endured it for a long time, the slave and maid couldn't bear it, and they couldn't bear it, so they replied once, and they replied to that mouth, and they were scolded by the maid Yan'er through the window. ”
Ah Lian paused and said: "Originally, Yan'er and the slave were both third-class maids, and they both served the errand of bringing tea and passing words, just because once, when Mrs. saw me, she praised me for doing things, and rewarded me with a few clothes, so Yan'er won over other maids and deducted the reward given by Mrs. to the slave and maid, and they took away the reward that Mrs. gave to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were not allowed to say it, if the slave and maid dared to say a word, Yan'er scolded the slave and maid loudly through the window and pretended to be pitiful, and she and the one named Rong'er bullied the slave and maid more than once. If the slave or maid dares to speak out, they will scold the slave and the maid for pretending to be pitiful. ”
"Peach Leaf Pavilion has such a shameless and damaging thing? Harmony is the first priority in everything in our house, why is there such a conflict between the maids. Don't Liusang Baoxin care about these big girls? Do you want them to eat rice? Yujun looked at the skinny, like a dry wood, and couldn't help but feel pity and anger.
Ah Lian cried and said: "Liusang is keen, I noticed the gap between them and me, and I also told it once, and I told it that time, Yan'er and Rong'er ran to Liusang and said, saying that slaves and maids are used to pretending, and pity is pretending, and Liusang listened to it, so he didn't pay much attention to the slaves." ”
Yujun frowned and shook his head: "Is Liusang also so rude?" I thought she was a careful person, but she was also such a sloppy person. ”
When Ah Lian talked about these sad pasts, she couldn't stop talking, and said: "There are still many of these things, and the slave and maid can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights." ”
"Then how did you endure all those years in Peach Leaf Pavilion?"
Ah Lian said: "Ah Lian later got a serious illness, Li'er told people everywhere that I pretended to be sick and sympathized, pulled others to sprinkle some filth on the slave and maid's couch, forced the slave and maid to stay, and then pulled the steward, pointed at your slave and maid, and said that the slave and maid pretended to be sick. Na Lier walked in the yard, saw the slave and maid to scold the slave and maid, they made a mistake, and wanted to force the slave and maid to make up for it, as long as the slave and the maid and the people in the other yard said one more word, they felt that the slave and maid were suspected of winning over others, this is not counted, the disgusting things they did, ten days and ten nights could not be finished, Na Lier blamed the slave and the maid more than once or twice, each time she pretended to care about the slave and the maid, and secretly sprinkled all the filth to the slave and maid, the slave and the maid said once or twice, she put on a pitiful appearance, Let others misunderstand that the slave and maid bullied her, and the slave and maid were angry and sick. ”
Yujun shook her head: "This group of heartless wicked people will go to hell sooner or later." ”
Ah Lian covered her mouth and smiled: "Isn't Miss Yujun's mother a person from Chaoyunguan?" Do people who view the clouds also believe in hell? ”
Yujun nodded: "The book says that people think about it, and ghosts and gods know it." If a person does something evil, no matter where he does it, he will not be able to wash it away. These wicked people have done evil deeds, and they deserve evil retribution. Mercy, you are a good person, so you have not been with those wicked people. Those wicked people, no matter where they go, will not be fine. ”
