Wu'er was stunned when she heard it, and it took a long time to react, Lu Zhi was asking Li Sheng to be a matchmaker for herself. She looked at the green branch seriously before she said, "Wu'er He De, how can you let the young master worry about Wu'er?" So let's leave it at that. ”

Lu Zhi first pulled Li Sheng and said with a smile: "Wu'er is not an ordinary maid. I heard the lord say, Miss Lingxin is good for her wife, so she doesn't marry, if she wants to marry, the lord has already arranged it; At the moment, Wu'er doesn't have to guard anyone, if you shirk it, I won't follow. ”

Wu'er was anxious to refuse, but who knew that someone came to ask Li Sheng to go to Master Li's place, Li Sheng had to put down his chopsticks and said, "Wu'er, don't worry, I will pay attention to you outside." He smiled ambiguously at the green branch again: "You eat first, and I'll come back at night." ”

Midori nodded, escorted Li Sheng out of the house, and then waved for the others to withdraw.

Wu'er quickly closed the door and asked, "What does Zhiniang mean by this?" ”

Green Branch laughed, she fiddled with her nails: "This is weird, isn't Sister Wu'er leaving?" It's also to blame me for delaying for too long, but Sister Wu'er won't be reluctant to leave, right? ”

Wu'er shook her head and said hurriedly: "Let me leave, Zhiniang just find a reason casually, why do you want me to marry?" ”

Green Branch lowered his hair, and a green silk was scattered all over the dressing table: "I'm helping you, if you marry a good person, you don't need to please others everywhere in the future, right?" ”

"Flattering everywhere?" Wu'er asked incredulously: "What did Zhi Niang say?" ”

Lu Zhi stood up and forced Wu'er to take a few steps back, she sneered, "Wasn't you just currying favor with the Ye family before?" Now that you see that the ingots are the sons of the Li family, you are working hard again to please the ingots? ”

Wu'er was very surprised, and she trembled: "So you have seen me like this all these years?" ”

"I didn't let you go before, because I saw that you still have some use value." Lu Zhi put his hand on Wu'er's face, Wu'er only felt a cold on his face, and listened to Lu Zhi say: "Who are you crying to now?" Sister Wu'er, you and I are good sisters, now that I'm not happy, how can I let you feel at ease? ”

"I ......" Wu'er almost collapsed to the ground, and it took a long time for her to ask: "Green Branch, why did you become like this?" ”

Lu Zhi couldn't help but hear Wu'er call her like this, and she was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted, and said, "Sister Wu'er, let's go and prepare, your marriage is not as hasty as mine." ”

Wu'er then laughed sadly, thanked him and withdrew.

She walked back slowly, thinking about it carefully, she had seen too much over the years, but she was sinking deeper and deeper, and she couldn't see clearly. Get married? Xu is good, and it can be regarded as quiet when you leave here.

Li Sheng went out a few times and got the news, saying that he was the nephew of a business owner outside the province, and the maids in the Li Mansion were all envious, and they all said that this was the blessing of Wu'er.

The house got the instructions of the green branch, saying that the fifth child was going to marry in the autumn, and now he still lived in the embroidery building decently, and the embroidery building was originally prepared for Yuanyuan.

Wu'er lives alone in the embroidery building, and rarely sees other outsiders except for the maid who delivers food to her every day. The maid saw Wu'er guarding the window and looking out more than once, and finally couldn't help but persuade: "Sister Wu'er, what's in a hurry?" There are only two months left before you get married, and then you will be the young grandmother of a big family, where can you go? ”

Wu'er didn't reply, just nodded perfunctorily, and the maid also thought that Wu'er marrying outside the province had little to do with herself, so she didn't bother to stammer, and she didn't take the initiative to talk after a few more times.

Until one day when she went to deliver food again, and just put the tray on the table, Wu'er came out of the back room and asked her, "How long has it been?" ”

The maid replied, "Sister Wu'er is asking about the day?" After all, there are still ten days before the beginning of autumn. ”

Wu'er nodded and thanked him, and said no more. The maid was bored, so she went out and left.

At this time, Li Sheng had just finished the ingots memorization poem and was about to go out to rest at the green branch. Yuan Bao said goodbye, and seeing that it was dark, he asked the gatekeepers to go back to sleep. Those people were naturally happy to pick up a bargain, and they all smiled after saying thank you.

Yuan Bao was about to blow out the candle when he suddenly heard someone knocking on his window. He looked to the side, but it was a thin black figure.

"Who?"

"It's me, Wu'er."

Yuan Bao hurriedly went over and opened the window, and sure enough, when he saw Wu'er standing outside, he whispered: "Sister Wu'er, come in, it's not good for others to see it." ”

Wu'er entered the house and said with a smile: "Is the little young master okay?" Yuan Bao nodded, went to pour tea again, Wu'er took it, but couldn't find anything to say.

Or Yuan Bao opened his mouth and asked: "Why is Sister Wu'er here?" Wu'er was a little hasty, she said, "Young Master Yuanbao, don't make a noise, I ran out secretly." ”

Yuan Bao agreed, looked at Wu'er's expression carefully, and asked, "Sister Wu'er is getting married, but are you unhappy?" ”

"How do you have fun?" Wu'er sighed and said sadly: "Not to mention how the husband's family is, I don't even know who his surname is, how can I entrust my whole life to the past?" After she finished speaking, she saw that Yuanbao also looked sad, and couldn't help laughing: "Alas, what am I talking to the little master about?" You don't understand. ”

Who knew that Yuan Bao said with a serious face: "My mother also said so, she said that her grandmother asked her to marry Amma, and she married." ”

Wu'er didn't expect Yuanbao to answer like this, and it took a long time to comfort: "The young grandmother is a young lady from a big family, so naturally there are some things that she can't help herself; Again, the young master is also very good to the young grandmother. ”

Yuan Bao immediately said: "But E-Niang is not happy, since she has Hua Niang and Zhi Niang, she has cried more than laughed every day, and Ama rarely comes to see her." ”

Wu'er looked at the ingots, but her little face was filled with sadness, I'm afraid she thinks of the young grandmother again, right? Wu'er didn't want to continue to talk about this, so he forced a smile: "Maybe, maybe that person is a good person?" That's a blessing for me. ”

Yuan Bao didn't make a sound, only nodded.

"Young Master Yuanbao is going to rest?" Wu'er put down the teacup that was already cold, and said, "Then Wu'er will go back to the embroidery building first." ”

Yuan Bao got up and sent Wu'er out of the window again. Wu'er was about to leave, when she suddenly heard Yuan Bao say to her, "But you're not." ”

She was a little foggy when she heard this, and was about to ask Yuan Bao what this meant, but Yuan Bao had already closed the window.

She had no choice but to go back quietly.

Almost no one watched the embroidery building, and the old mothers who guarded the building slept so hard at night that Wu'er easily bypassed them and went back to the house by herself.

But she couldn't sleep, she lay on the bed and thought about Yuanbao's words, and then laughed again: "Young Master Yuanbao is just a child, what am I doing like this?" It wasn't until the second half of the night that she realized the meaning of Yuanbao's "you are not".

Wu'er told Yuan Bao that Ye Rong was a young lady from a big family, and it was her helplessness to marry for the sake of the family, but she Wu'er was not! She is just the most ordinary of all living beings, so why should she rely on people for certain things?

So, if Yuan Bao can say such things to her, is he telling her that he will help her? "What a hindrance!" Wu'er took the round fan at the head of the bed and fanned it a few times, and said, "What can you expect the little young master to help?" ”

The next night, Wu'er knocked on the window of the ingot.

……

Wu'er's illness came suddenly, and Lu Zhi came to the doctor to see it, saying that he was suffering from the wind and cold and needed to recuperate. Lu Zhi said anxiously: "There are three days left for my husband's family to come to pick up people, and it is a coincidence that Sister Wu'er's illness is really a coincidence." ”

Wu'er smiled weakly and said: "It's also my fault, I felt it was too hot last night, so I didn't use the quilt, who knew that the window forgot to close tightly, and it was blown all night." ”

Green Branch looked sideways, saw the mother-in-law, and scolded: "A group of old things that rely on the old and sell the old, I see that you are old, and I have the heart to let you do some idle work, who knows that guarding a building is also a mistake." ”

Wu'er saw that the mothers-in-law were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, so they were busy persuading: "It's no wonder that they don't want to." ”

Green Branch smiled: "Yes, yes, you are a kind person anyway, let me do this evil man." As he spoke, he immediately changed his face and said solemnly: "Since you can't keep it well, then I'll rearrange it, you go to the housekeeper to sign up by yourself, and do what you have to do." ”

As he spoke, Green Branch transferred a few people, and after a few more commands, he went again.

Wu'er lay on the bed, it took a long time to dare to take a deep breath, this method of pretending to be sick was naturally thought up by Yuan Bao for her, and she also carefully told that a small pain and a small illness could not deceive others, Wu'er drenched himself with cold water last night, and stood at the tuyere with only a single coat and stood all night.

She also asked suspiciously: "This pretending to be sick can hide from the first day of junior high school but can't hide from the fifteenth, and there will always be a good day for illness." ”

Yuan Bao nodded yes, and said, "It's not more than fifteen." That's fine. ”

But at first, she just thought that this was what Yuan Bao said when she was willful.

At present, it is the maid who delivers food to Wu'er, and she stands outside the door on this day and listens to Wu'er in the house: "Although my disease is not serious, it is not good to infect you well, and you will leave the food at the door in the future, and I will come out to get it myself." ”

The maid secretly said in her heart that Wu'er's illness was not in response to the sentence "no blessing", and she secretly laughed and went.

It lasted until the day before the wedding.

The green branch asked people to take the wedding dress to Wu'er to try, saying that if something was wrong, they could also seize the time to change it, Wu'er wore it and said that everything was fine, and his illness was much better, thinking that it would be better to rest for a while. The green branch is naturally full of promises, and let people put things away.

The next day, the husband's family came to pick up people, and the maid from the embroidery building came to find the green branch, and said urgently: "I've been knocking on the door for a long time, but Sister Wu'er just refuses to come out, and we really have no choice." ”

Lu Zhi sneered, walked towards the embroidery building, she turned around and said, "You go first and let the people outside the mansion wait, the bride will come out soon." ”
