Chapter 054: The Red Sun Is Short (4)
The cry is real and real.
Qiu Wen hurriedly put on his clothes again and glanced at Ying'er.
Ying'er was indifferent and didn't go out: "In the cold winter, I really want to die, I won't let people see it!" ”
Autumn Pattern was stunned.
She remembered that in the Plum Blossom Nunnery, Ying'er was looking for death in public, could it be that she was also pretending? Qiu Wen still shook his head: "Whether it's true or not, I'm always wronged." I'll check it out! ”
As soon as she opened the door, a cold breeze poured in from outside.
Ying'er was very dissatisfied: "Qiuwen, you still don't let people be quiet?" ”
Autumn Moon looked at her. This warbler and her are not like-minded people. When I saw her coming, I was also enthusiastic and happy. Thinking about it now, that's far from the case.
Qiu Wen didn't listen, carried the lantern, and went out in small steps.
I followed the sound and came to the river. It is said to be a river, but in fact it is just a pond in the shape of a strip. A lot of water chestnut lotus flowers are planted in the pond. When a person jumps in, he is not drowned in the water, but his foot stumbles in the root of the lotus root, and he cannot stand up and suffocates to death.
The man who threw himself into the river was pulled up.
Several mothers-in-law cursed while pulling: "It's a cold day, if you want to die, just think of another way, why bother in the water?" Now that you hear it, you can't pretend to be deaf? But it ruined our new jacket! ”
Shi Fu issued winter warm clothes, and the girls and mothers-in-law had two pieces. This has just been made, and if it gets wet, the color will fall off. So these mothers-in-law are resentful.
They put the dead on a dry pyre. Everyone was shocked. Qiu Wen rushed over and was startled when he saw the woman's appearance clearly.
It was Chunqin who threw himself into the river?
Others don't know why, but Autumn Pattern knows it.
She saw everyone squeezing her belly with all hands and feet, guessing that she was arrogant and couldn't stand the grievances she suffered at night.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren died for me.
This is what Mr. Chunqin's private school teacher who listened to the class said, and he couldn't taste it at the time, but now he has a point or two of understanding. She thought about it calmly again, Chunqin was looking for death or life, but it still had nothing to do with herself.
It was she who took the lead and wanted to give herself color. It's just that he fell into the eyes of the uncle by mistake, which caused this result, and it has nothing to do with himself. Blindly taking the blame on oneself and indiscriminately showing compassion is really like a sinner.
The Chunqin was carried into the house.
It's an ear room. Her jacket was soaked in cold water, and her body shivered. One mother-in-law helped her pour a cup of hot tea, while the other changed clothes with her.
Na Chunqin took a breath and spoke: "Uncle...... I want to see my uncle......"
Everyone didn't know that Chunqin was scolded by Ximo. Ximo had already told Chunqin that as soon as it was dawn tomorrow, she would pack up and go to the chief manager Yuansheng's side and wait for other messengers. Ximo's subordinates showed mercy and only let Chunqin leave the grassland. She can go anywhere else in this house.
Chunqin pleaded to no avail, returned to the room, and wept silently.
All she asked for was decency. Although she is a maid, she eats more than ordinary small households in Jiangcheng. This is down, lost face, how can you live?
What's more, which of the girls in this house is good-natured? I'm afraid that those saliva can drown me. It's so interesting, why not just die?
But she was still unwilling.
She still wanted to see her uncle, so she stayed in the grass house, or beat her, or withheld her monthly money. If he really went elsewhere, Lan Ze knew, and he probably wouldn't be able to continue with him.
In the crowd, Chunqin saw the autumn pattern at first glance.
She craned her neck and called her over. Autumn Pattern had no choice but to come.
Qiu Wen knew what she was going to say, and stepped forward to hold Chunqin's hand: "Sister Chun, I'll find an uncle for you." "It's not midnight yet, if the uncle doesn't rest, he should practice swords somewhere nearby, maybe it's the rockery behind the kitchen.
"Akimosa, I'm sorry ......"
Chunqin still held her hand.
Qiu Wen sighed: "Sister, it's better to die than to live." You see the ants on the ground, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they are still busy day by day. What's the pimple and difficult, it's all trivial. ”
When the mothers-in-law next to them heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Because I don't know what they are talking about.
Chunqin was ashamed: "It's me who is not good." They are all girls, and they should be supporting each other. I'm glad I'm wary of you. ”
Why did Autumn Moon want her to say this?
"I'll go now."
She wants to find the uncle as quickly as possible.
Ximo really didn't sleep.
Qiu Wen walked the trail, and under a tree next to the rockery, he saw the uncle who played swordsmanship. The uncle practiced the sword, and his posture was really strong and beautiful.
If it's okay, Autumn Pattern or hide aside to enjoy it secretly.
But at this moment, there is only decisiveness to step forward. "Uncle ......"
Autumn Pattern stepped forward to say hello.
Ximo turned around, saw that it was her, put away the scabbard, looked at her, and asked slowly, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?" ”
"Uncle, Sister Chunqin just jumped into the river. The slave guessed that you had disciplined her at night. You'd better check it out. Sister Chunqin is a face-saving person, she didn't mean to, uncle, you better give her a chance! ”
Shi Ximo looked at her more carefully, and walked back and forth in front of Qiu Wen.
"If a person does something wrong, he deserves to be punished. You should understand this truth. ”
"Yes. The slave understands. ”
"Since you know, you shouldn't come."
At this time, the night is silent, and everything is silent. It was the most comfortable time for Ximo to practice swords. No one disturbs each other, only the breeze and the moon are companions. The wind is a cold wind. The moon is the waning moon.
Ximo doesn't care.
That's how it happens all year round.
Only by being alone can we be truly cautious and independent.
"But Sister Chunqin has been serving you for so long, and there is no credit and hard work? If a person is not a sage, who does not make mistakes? It's good to change it. ”
Ximo stared at her, motionless.
"If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? You can say that again. You know, I didn't punish her, but told her to pack up and go somewhere else to work. As long as she doesn't say it herself, no one knows what's going on. ”
Autumn Pattern was silent.
Really? Uncle didn't criticize Chunqin? But she still wants to die!
"Autumn pattern, you are a warm-hearted person. In this way, you put a word on my behalf to her, and she listened, and kept it at my command. ”
"Uncle, please speak clearly."
"You just ask her to go to the chief manager to fight and wait for Yuan Sheng to fall. A few days later, I made other arrangements. ”
That's all Ximo said.
These words, Qiu Wen kept in mind. The uncle said a few words and left a few words, but he didn't say the words thoroughly, and this time he conveyed Chunqin, but he still couldn't solve her fears.
Qiu Wen asked tentatively: "Uncle, what do you want to say?" You can rest assured, except for Chunqin, the slave will never leak a word. She raised her hand to the waning moon in the sky and swore an oath.
Seeing her solemn expression, Ximo's closed heart opened a little.
For autumn patterns, Ximo is trusting. Because she saved herself. That's all there is to it alone.
He smiled slightly: "Okay." Chunqin's heart is not in the grass. She has a sweetheart, who is also a distant relative of Shifu. A few days ago, he went north to the capital and had a letter with me. I was thinking of sending her to this person for some reason. Coincidentally, this happened. So, be wrong. You tell Chunqin and let her take the initiative to go to the chief manager to admit that she was kicked off. Yuan Sheng must reply to me. Then I pushed the boat down the river, went straight to find a car, and sent it directly to the capital. I mean, you know? ”
Qiuwen's eyes lit up, and his heart relaxed.
I see.
Uncle is really a gentleman, a bodhisattva!
Autumn Pattern is also very grateful in her heart.
"Slave and maid, go now."
Autumn patterns go fast. Ximo was worried about the thorns on the ground and reminded, "Walk slowly." ”
Qiu Wen turned his head, and in the moonlight, smiled at Ximo.
This smile is bright and beautiful. Ximo couldn't help but lose his mind.
He stood under the tree, holding the branch in one hand and the scabbard in the other, and smiled with Autumn Pattern.
Qiu Wen saw it, a little embarrassed, blushed, lowered his head, lifted his skirt, and walked faster.
Ximo watched her leave, still with a smile on her lips.
Behind the rockery, there is another person. It's none other than Qilan.
It turned out that after Qilan was rejected by Ximo that day, she was disheartened and sad for several days. But she is still obsessed with Ximo. Know Ximo's fetish. After the old lady fell asleep, a person, quietly, peeked behind the rockery in the moonlight.
She is extremely well hidden.
I don't want to have an autumn pattern at this time.
She listened carefully to what the two of them were talking and understood what was going on. I am not only happy for Chunqin, but also sad for myself. It is very unusual to distinguish the autumn pattern of the uncle. When Qiu Wen left, the uncle's slight drunken smile explained everything.
Sure enough, what I was worried about became a reality.
She didn't dare to make a move, biting her lip tightly, and her eyes were full of tears. Ten years of hospitality is not as good as a maid who has only been in the house for a few months.
Qilan is kind by nature, but it's still hard to accept.
This girl called Qiuwen must design it to drive away! She is the old lady's personal maid, and she will find something to do, so that Qiu Wen can't eat and walk around!
After Ximo left, Qilan left with a stomach full of grievances.
It was a rough night.
The mothers-in-law persuaded Chunqin to go back to the study. Chunqin looked embarrassed. I've been kicked out, how can I get back? But she bit her lip and refused to tell it.
Cha Qiu Wen is coming.
"Mom, let me take care of Sister Chun. Sister Chun fell into the pond, and the uncle also rested, and the noisy shouting also alarmed the uncle. It's cheaper here. Moms, please go back to bed, I'll take care of Sister Chun. ”
Qiu Wen said that the ear room is not cold, and only a pot of charcoal can be dealt with.
"It's easy."
A mother-in-law brought a basin full of charcoal.
After the mothers-in-law left, Qiu Wen tied the door, raised the charcoal, and poured hot ginger tea for Chunqin. She fed Chunqin a few sips and said in a low voice, "Sister, I have seen my uncle." Uncle wants me to pass on a few words to you. ”
Chunqin's face was worried.
Qiu Wen smiled at her: "It's a good thing." Sister, it's a good thing you can't think of. ”
Thinking that Chunqin would leave Shifu in the near future and live a happy life with his sweetheart, Qiu Wen was also envious in his heart. She found a wooden comb and combed Chunqin's hair at once.
Chunqin just wants to know what the uncle said?
Yin Yang begged: "Good sister, tell me quickly, I can't wait!" ”
Qiu Wen bent down and dialed the charcoal fire: "Uncle said ......"
After listening to this, Chunqin was stunned for a moment, almost not believing it. She jumped off the bed, grabbed Qiu Wen's hand tightly, and asked excitedly, "But really?" I'm not dreaming, am I? ”
"Nature is true."
"I ...... I made a mistake, and the uncle can still let me go, and I plan to ...... in the future I, I'm really a bastard......" Chunqin explained urgently, "Qiuwen, you are smart and sophisticated, you can get ahead in this mansion, no matter where you are." I'm not as good as you. Today, I am a blessing in disguise......"
She kept chanting "Amitabha" again, but she barely knelt on the ground.
Qiu Wen smiled: "I don't want any of this." Where I'm smart, I'm stupid at all. My sister didn't know that before I entered the house, I also suffered a lot of sins. If I know anything, it has been honed little by little in those days of being a cow and a horse. When I talked to others, I had a smile on my face, but my heart was stabbed with a blunt knife and dripping blood little by little. ”
She sighed several times.
Chunqin became more and more remorseful. "People say that the family has children and slaves for generations, and it is so bitter that it can't be more bitter. It seems to be wrong. Those who buy it from outside are the ones who really suffer. ”
The two of them spoke, completely unaware that there were ears through the window.
The warbler was upset when she saw that Qiu Wen had not come back for a long time. I also learned that it was the uncle's eldest girl Chunqin who threw herself into the river, and she was very curious, she put on her clothes and asked a mother-in-law around the corner, only to know that tonight, Qiuwen was actually with Chunqin, resting in a room.
Ying'er disdainfully. This autumn pattern likes to climb.
She simply walked behind the ear room and eavesdropped on the wall. This time, I heard so many famous halls. In her opinion, Qiu Wen suffered hard, and she couldn't compare with her at all. This is to sell and please say something that Chunqin likes to listen to, and he will really be a person.
She is jealous of Qiuwen and envy Chunqin's good luck.
It's strange that Chunqin looks like a light and breezy person, and she just takes ordinary care of the uncle, but it turns out that she has another sweetheart, who is still a relative of Shifu. Chunqin is going to marry him, and she is also a grandmother like the master of the house.
She went the other way.
But in this way, those who run back and forth in the autumn pattern have made a contribution. Oh, if Chunqin is gone, who will take her shortage? Ying'er immediately thought of this, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
If Qiuwen is a first-class maid, surrounded by small maids in front of and behind, the building near the water will get the moon first. She gets along with her uncle day and night, if she has some affection...... Do you have any hope?
