Chapter 1: Night

Next Chapter

"Little lady, the people are gone." Wanqing walked under the pomegranate tree in the yard, took a handful of wormwood and lit it, and put it in the iron basin on the side, then lifted the azure soft account on the side, and whispered to the girl lying on the side of the chair.

At this time, it was the height of summer, the genius outside had just completely darkened, and there seemed to be a trace of heat in the air during the day, and the light night shrouded the girl's face, and by the moonlight, she could vaguely see the appearance of the girl in the tent.

The girl's eyebrows are like distant mountains, Qiong's nose and cherry lips, peach cheeks and snow skin, she is an excellent beauty. At this time, she was lying on the chair and pretending to sleep, holding a folding fan with peach blossoms, and fanning the wind carelessly for a while.

The girl is the only daughter of Xiao Xiucai in Xilin Lane, Xiao Jingshu.

"Little lady, that You clan is too much! Her son is so lazy and idle all day long, and he dares to think of a little lady! ”

When Wanqing saw the little lady like this, the anger in her heart was rubbing up, and she was upset for the little lady.

That Yu family is really a big face! Just Yu Jiasan Lang, who is a prodigal son who is not doing his job, where is he worthy of a person like a little lady? It's just a mud leg who sucks the blood of his parents, and he even wants to marry a little lady! If it weren't for the fact that it was the little lady's grandfather's house, that family wouldn't even be able to enter the door of the Xiao family!

The poor little lady's parents died, and she guarded the yard and shop alone, and attracted a bunch of jackals, tigers and leopards.

"You, why are you so angry?" Xiao Jingshu opened her eyes with a light smile in her eyes.

She gave birth to a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, and the corners of her eyes turned up slightly when she smiled, outlining an indescribable style.

"Thinking that some people want toads to eat swan meat, I am angry for the little lady."

Xiao Jingshu narrowed her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her lips was a little lighter, "It's not worth it to be angry with a toad." ”

"Little lady! You still have the heart to laugh, the Xiao family has no elders now, the Yu family is the lady's mother's family, I really want you to marry, but no one can stop it. Looking at such a little lady, Wanqing felt helpless and angry.

She was sold by her mother in the famine year, and in order to change her brother's stuttering, it was the little lady who bought her back. At that time, the little lady's younger brother had just passed away, and the Xiao family lived with the father and daughter.

At least, it was a good life that she didn't dare to think of before, although she signed a deed of sale, but the Xiao family didn't treat her as a person, never beat and scolded, ate at the same table, and even shared the work of the Xiao family.

Those years were the most comfortable days she lived.

Unexpectedly, within a few years, Master Xiao suddenly contracted a vicious illness and passed away not long after, leaving the little lady alone.

The Xiao family is not very rich, Master Xiao is not a person who can make money, Mrs. Xiao is sick, and the huge family business in the early years is now left with this two-entry courtyard and a shop in the west of the city. These things are nothing in the eyes of rich people, but in the eyes of most ordinary people, they are fragrant, especially the Xiao family now has an orphan girl left, as long as she marries her, she can get a yard and a shop for nothing.

Before, the little lady had been closed on the grounds of filial piety, but now three years have passed, and the filial piety period is less than a month, and many people have moved their minds again, the most enthusiastic of which is Mrs. Xiao's sister-in-law.

"It's okay, I have my own way." Xiao Jingshu rolled her eyes and pulled the person onto the chair.

"Wanqing, sleep here with me tonight, it's cool, it's too hot in the house, it's really unstable."

This chair is a retractable chair specially created by Xiao Jingshu, and it is a simple bed when the back is down, and a mat is set up, and it is in the shade under the tree, which is the coolest.

Xiao Jingshu has a hard summer, and in her previous life, she longed to take root in an air-conditioned room every summer, not to mention this other world without air conditioning.

Yes, in her previous life, Xiao Jingshu was born with the memories of her previous life, and she began to remember her previous memories when she was two or three years old, and they continued for several years. After gradually understanding the world, she realized how ...... the heroines who made themselves from scratch in the ancient times made glass, soap, toothpaste, and rouge gouache Powerful.

She couldn't do it anyway.

As far as she knows, in this world, all the families with a little family background have all kinds of cakes and fruit snacks, rouge gouache, fragrance and essential oils and other recipes, which are pure natural and pollution-free, and the effect is good.

So she broke off her plan to open a shop early, and just wanted to live quietly and quietly with the Xiao family, but she didn't expect how difficult the Xiao family was, and now she is the only one left.

This is an era of great importance for the imperial power of the clan, men are in power, women are very restricted, she can't change, so she can only accept.

"Little lady!" was caught off guard and pulled to the chair, Wanqing couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is not in accordance with the rules, if it is known or seen, the reputation of the little lady ......" The rest of the words were swallowed by Wanqing, the clothes that the little lady wears when she sleeps at night have always been thin, and there is nothing in the house on weekdays, but there is no shelter in this empty yard......

"The courtyard door is closed, and now there are only you and me in the house, and no one will know if you don't say it." Xiao Jingshu's expression was firm, but her tone was a little lonely.

Usually when her father was still there, let alone sleeping in the courtyard, because her father wanted to enlighten people, there were many idlers, but she went to the front yard less. Somehow, she wanted to be willful tonight

"But a few days ago, I went out and heard that there were thieves in the county, all of them took advantage of the night when the master's house was asleep, sneaked to other people's houses to steal, if this is ......" Wanqing still wanted to persuade again, her eyes touched the eyes of the little lady, and when she came to her mouth, she swallowed the words again, the little lady has always had an idea, and few things that have been decided can be changed.

In the end, I had to reluctantly say: "Then I'll put down the other side of the chair first." ”

Wanqing first put down the other side of the chair, and then went to the room to get a mattress and a thin quilt, and let Xiao Jingshu sleep on the inside and her outside, so that even if someone broke in, she could block it.

Lying on the simple wooden bed, the night breeze was blowing slowly, and Wanqing had to admit that this courtyard was indeed cooler than the house.

The night was quiet, and Wanqing suddenly thought of the unwilling and inevitable appearance of You Shi leaving, she hesitated for a while, and hesitated: "Little lady, although You Shi didn't explicitly say that he would marry you today, but that look...... It's clearly trying to force you to get married. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingshu's expression was slightly cold, and she said lightly: "My mother has already broken off the relationship with the Yu family, let alone her, even if the old lady of the Yu family comes, she can't help me." ”
