Yi'er felt a little powerless, and said, "I said, can you kneel without moving, besides, did I say that I would punish you and drive you out?" ”

Yin Gu was stunned, nodded hurriedly, and then shook his head.

Yi'er was confused by her, so she had to say: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, okay, you can go back to work." By the way, if you can, eat more, you see how thin you are! ”

After Yi'er finished speaking, she got up.

Yingu was stunned, she didn't expect it to be over, she looked at Yi'er, remembered what Yi'er had just said, and didn't know why, she blurted out: "Actually, the slave is thinking about my mother and brother!" ”

"Oh!" Yi'er looked at Yingu and said, "You still have a younger brother?" ”

Yingu nodded, and said: "My family was originally a tenant farmer under Xiaojian Mountain, when there was a drought, the family really couldn't open the pot, and owed the seed silver of Zhuangtou during spring ploughing, there was no way, my father and mother took me and my younger brother to Beikai, and my father entrusted the relationship to find a job on the dock to find a moving job, and my mother helped people to do laundry to earn a little copper plate to live." But then there was a sudden flood, and the wharf where my father helped was flooded, and my father was also washed away by the flood, and my mother was sad, and she cried every day during that time, and whoever wanted to make her eyes miserable! There is nothing to eat at home, the mother can't see with her eyes, and the younger brother is too young, so the slave and maid can only sell themselves! ”

"Then where are your mother and brother now?"

"They're all in the bridge hole in Tazi Lane, Xicheng!"

"Bridge hole?"

Yingu said: "Miss may not know, the bridge is very big underneath, and it is very comfortable to shelter from the wind and rain, and many people live there!" ”

"How old is your brother?"

"Seven and a half years old!" Yingu said again, "My brother also wants to sell himself for some money so that I can ask my mother to ask a doctor to look at the eyes, but the slave maid is not allowed, although he is young, he can read and write with the gentleman in the village, the younger brother is very smart, the gentleman praises him, the slave maid thinks that he can continue to study in the future, and he will take the exam in the future!" ”

Yi'er sighed in her heart, for Yinggu and for her younger brother. You must know that although the imperial court has opened the imperial examination widely, no matter the township and county examinations, slave people are not eligible to participate, that is to say, if Yingu's younger brother sells himself, he is a slave and cannot participate in the imperial examination.

Yingu said again: "Now the slave maid is with the young lady, not to mention that she can eat enough, and there is still monthly money to supplement her mother and younger brother every month, and there is also a day off every month, you can go to see them, the slave and maid already feel very content, but when the slave and maid left, the younger brother was having a fever, and the slave and maid didn't know how he was now, so he ...... just now."

Yi'er thought for a while and said: "It's not a long-term solution to live under the bridge hole, otherwise, you go and take people into the house, although your brother is young, he is always a man, and the inner courtyard is inconvenient, I will let people go and see, and make a room in the inverted room outside the weeping flower door for them to live, so that it is convenient to take care of them when you are free, do you think it is good?" ”

Yingu never thought that things could develop like this, under the surprise, he nodded again and again, people still felt a little dizzy, and they didn't dare to believe that such a good thing would fall on their heads for a long time, and when she came back to her senses completely, Yi'er had walked away with Qingli Blue Buckwheat, she was moved in her heart, and knelt down again in the direction where Yi'er left, and knocked her head respectfully three times, then she stood up, went back to the house and cleaned up a little, Yi'er had sent Qingli to send a pair of cards, and Yingu took the pair of cards out of the house to pick up people!

In the following days, the waves were not alarmed, Yi'er followed the Li family, and she was nourished, but Du Ziwu was still busy every day, not to mention going out early and returning late, and the sadness on his face became heavier and heavier, even when facing Li and Yi'er, the smile on his face was a little reluctant!

Li and Yi'er were worried, but they couldn't help with political affairs, and they couldn't speak, so they could only let the kitchen change their tricks to make some food that Du Ziwu liked, and follow him on weekdays, trying to say some relaxed and casual topics to make him feel a little relieved.

But I didn't think about this day, Yi'er followed Li's in the room to listen to the housekeepers' mothers, went back to the East Warm Pavilion, and had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she nested on the couch to read, Qingli moved a small stool, sat next to Yi'er and took an unfinished embroidered fan and began to concentrate on the embroidered fan.

Yi'er's maids, Lu Fu is lively and anxious, while Qing Li is just the opposite, calm and too calm, not much to say, sometimes in front of Yi'er, but also to ask a sentence and answer, Lu Fu often laughs at her is a stuffy gourd, and she can't say a word for a long time, and Lan Qiao is shrewd and diligent, and she is also the best among several girls!

As for the Liuying, gradually Yi'er also noticed a little clue, and vaguely guessed her thoughts, she had a headache, after all, the person was rewarded by the Li family, there was no real evidence, and she was not good at attacking her, but one thing Yi'er knew very well in her heart that if this Liuying really had any thoughts that she shouldn't have, and did something irreparable when the time came, she would never be merciful!

The so-called people have reverse scales, Yier felt the breath of real family from Du Ziwu and Li's body, not referring to the wealth in front of her, but Du Ziwu and Li's heart for her, these days, she has long regarded the two as her biological parents, she loves them, it is because of this heart, this love, she will never allow anyone to destroy, she has always been kind-hearted, but she is not blind, although she can't completely see through people's hearts, but she has her own bottom line, in the big right and wrong, she can keep her own heart!

Yi'er used to like to read, but she didn't have this condition before, and she didn't have so much leisure time, but now she is pampered, and when she has time, she prefers to calm down to read books and write. The books she reads are not limited to any category and genre, from solitary historical materials to miscellaneous books, she reads them all, of course, gradually reading more, she also began to have a certain preference, especially those interesting miscellaneous travelogues, mountains and rivers geography books.

She also insisted on writing five big characters every day, so it didn't take long for her to know a lot more words, not to mention, and the words have also grown a lot, Li saw that she liked it, and thought about simply inviting her a female gentleman, but now the catastrophe is undecided, and these things are not easy to arrange!

On this day, as usual, she read the book, and then began to write under the waiter of Lan Qiao, but before the big character was written, Lu Fu rushed in from the outside, and before the person could stand firmly, he had already said: "The master is back!" ”

Lan Qiao glared at her, blaming her for being in a hurry, for fear of startling Yi'er.

Yi'er knew her temperament and ignored it, but she was also a little strange, why did Du Ziwu come back at this time? In the past, if it wasn't dark, you would never see Du Ziwu's shadow, but now, before the time has passed, how could you come back so early?

Although it was strange in her heart, Yi'er still put down the wolf in her hand and stood up, Du Ziwu came back, and it stands to reason that she also had to go over to say hello!

At this time, Lu Fu said again: "Miss doesn't need to go over, the master didn't come back alone, he also brought a son back, and now he is entertaining guests in the front yard!" ”

Lan Qiao complained: "You can't finish talking at once!" ”

Lu Fu stuck out her tongue, looked at Yi'er with some mystery and said, "Guess miss, who is the son that the master brought back?" ”

Yi'er said angrily: "Your young lady is not a fortune-telling fairy, how do you know?" ”

"It's the same governor of the state capital, what's that called... The son of Zhu Gui's family, the name slave can be remembered, called Zhu Youzhen! ”

Yi'er was stunned.

Lu Fu continued: "The slave maid listened to Jin Shan beside the master, and the master admired this Zhu Gongzi very much, and praised his literary and moral character! The slave and maid took a look from afar in the weeping flower gate, the master came all the way to talk and laugh, and seemed to be in a good mood, the slave and maid had not seen the master laugh so heartily for many days! ”

After speaking, Lu Fu blinked her eyes again, leaned forward and approached Yi'er, and said in a low voice: "And the slave and maid also read it, and the slave and maid who are knowledgeable and don't understand anything, but that Zhu Gongzi was born with a dignified appearance, a talent, and is a rare handsome offspring, Miss, do you think the master will ......?"

Yi'er glared at Lu Fu and said to Lan Qiao: "Go back to the kitchen and tell them to fry a plate of duck tongue!" ”

Lu Fu was puzzled and asked, "It's so decent, why does the young lady want to fry her tongue?" ”

Yi'er said: "It's not that I want it, I see you all day long, talking non-stop, I'm afraid that your tongue won't be able to stand it, so I specially prepared it for you, as the saying goes, eat more, you have more strength to talk more!" ”

Lan Qiao snorted and laughed, and even Qing Li, who was concentrating on embroidering the fan, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Lu Fu cried with a sad face, looked at Yi'er with some resentment, and said, "Miss......" paused, looked at Qingli again, and said, "Miss, slaves and maids talk a lot, but some people are born with a stuffy gourd, and they can't come out with a word for a long time. ”

Qing Li glanced at Lu Fu.

Yi'er said: "It's rare for your young lady to have such a quiet and stable person around her, if you become like you, will your young lady still live?" ”

Lu Fu grabbed Yi'er's hand and said angrily: "Miss is eccentric, you know how to play slaves!" ”

Yi'er also smiled, took Lu Fu's hand, and asked again, "Then what else did you inquire about?" For example, why did his father take Zhu Gongzi back to his home? ”

Lu Fu pursed her mouth and said, "Miss is disgusted with the slave and maid's chatter, and the slave and maid want to learn from Sister Qingli, talk less and do more!" ”

Yi'er couldn't help but sigh and said: "My green fu is well-behaved and confidant, but it hurts people, where can I dislike it?" Lan Buckwheat Qingli, do you say? ”

Lan Qiao and Qing Li naturally laughed, but how unreal the smile was, Lu Fu pouted and didn't speak.
