In the winter of the Tang Dynasty, the snow, patches of white snow, like a white net weaved, densely covered the entire roof, corridor, and rockery. It was mixed with the cold wind, fluttering everywhere, bending the branches, and turning the people kneeling outside the chamber into living snowmen.

In the Xie Mansion on the rich side, in the small courtyard, the servants and maids walked back and forth in a panic, looking particularly messy, and everyone's faces were gray.

"What should I do, what should I do, what should I do?" A servant woman was in the chamber, spinning in circles, still muttering anxiously.

"I can't tell the eldest wife, and I can't ask the doctor, the young lady burns it like this, how good is this."

When the servant woman was anxious, she saw a maid carefully open the curtain and look in secretly, and immediately became angry and scolded loudly:

"What kind of dead girl, what kind of body is sneaky, be careful that my eldest lady sells you to that pickled place." When she saw clearly who the peeking maid was, she was even more angry.

"Qiu Yan, you little hoof, what are you going to do sneaking around outside the door? Miss is burned like this now, why didn't you tell the eldest lady one by one, wait until tomorrow, if the young lady really has a good one, look at the grandmother, I can spare you! ”

Looking in, it was the maid Qiuyan, she was frightened by Mama Liu's thunderous anger, her hands trembled, and she was about to put down the curtain and retreat to the door, but she hesitated to look at the sisters who were kneeling in the heavy snow and were about to freeze, although she was afraid of Mama's threat, she still mustered up her courage and said weakly:

"Mama Liu, Chunxiang and they are all frozen, if you have mercy, let them get up first, if not...... Whining. Before he finished speaking, he was sad and shed tears.

Qiu Yan, who pleaded for mercy, was sold to the mansion to serve Miss Nine since she was a child, she was fifteen years old this year, she was not called Qiu Yan before entering the house, but after following Miss Nine, Miss Nine changed her name.

entered the Xie Mansion with Qiu Yan, who was assigned to Miss Nine as a maid, and Chunxiang and others who were kneeling and trembling outside the door.

Seeing that a few of them knelt outside for so long, because the weather was cold and it was snowing heavily, several people were frozen to the point of purple, and Qiu Yan felt the same way, so she mustered up the courage to come in and plead with Mama Liu for a few of them.

But she didn't know that it was not the right time to plead, so the anxious Mama Liu listened, not only did she not have the heart to forgive a few maids outside, but she was also very angry.

In Mama Liu's opinion, the reason why her young lady is so sick is because of a few of them carelessly, she didn't even punish the autumn goose in front of her who didn't know what to do, it was already good, I didn't expect her to intercede for a few little hooves outside.

The more she thought about it, the more angry Mama Liu became, staring at Qiu Yan viciously, I asked you to intercede for them, walked forward in a few steps, "snapped", slapped Qiu Yan, and continued to scold with hatred:

"You still have the face to intercede for them, what's the matter, is my punishment heavy, if you don't worry about Miss at this time, Mama, I have to let people move the board to a few careless little hooves outside, shut your mouth for me, howl, and don't look at what kind of place this is."

Although Qiu Yan is very afraid of Mama Liu now, she still has the courage to cry and plead, she is really afraid that Chunxiang and they will not be able to support it: "Mama Liu, you have a kind heart, please forgive Chunxiang first, woo, if they kneel outside, they will freeze to death." ”

Mama Liu was suddenly angry, feeling so angry that she felt distressed, she didn't expect Qiu Yan to dare to intercede for a few careless little hooves outside. "Bang Bang" was slapped again.

"You little hoof, you dare to give them a few intercessions, the young lady is sick like this, isn't it all their fault! If they are punished for their mistakes, you can't hide from them, and if the young lady has a good one, I will be the first to clean you up. ”

The autumn goose was so frightened by Mama Liu's words that she knelt on the ground at that time, choked up and begged: "Mama Liu, you spare the autumn geese, the autumn geese will never dare again." ”

"Hmph, spare you, then who spares ......" Mama Liu was about to continue to teach Qiu Yan a lesson, but heard a scolding.

"What time has it been, and you are still so ignorant, and what kind of system is it to be noisy and shouting." A crisp voice of displeasure came in from outside.

When Mama Liu heard this, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly walked over and opened the curtain, and after seeing the big girl Qiaofeng next to the big lady, she was shocked at first, and then she was happy when she reacted, Qiaofeng is here, so the eldest lady may also know, so that her young lady will be saved, she muttered vigorously in her heart, "Amitabha, God bless." Hurriedly greeted him with a smile and asked cautiously:

"Isn't this Miss Qiaofeng, even you were alarmed, this is really ...... Miss Qiaofeng, does the eldest lady know about our young lady's illness? ”

The person who came was the big girl next to the eldest lady, called Qiaofeng, with shaved shoulders and a thin waist, tall figure, handsome eyes and beautiful eyebrows, and her face was not revealed, and she was a shrewd person at first glance. Although she is only sixteen years old now, her mouth is very powerful, and her heart and eyes are more like lotus roots, and because of this, she is the most important to be the eyes of the eldest wife.

Qiaofeng glared at Mama Liu unhappily, and scolded in a deep voice full of displeasure:

"You old thing, you don't know anything, how to disturb the eldest lady in the middle of the night."

Mama Liu's heart fell to a low point in an instant, thinking of the young lady who was still in bed with a high fever and didn't know what to do, she panicked again, and couldn't help but say anxiously:

"But, Miss is having a high fever right now, how is this good?" If it weren't for Qiaofeng's presence, she would have to go around the house again.

"Okay, look at you like this, you are Miss Nine's grandmother, Miss Nine is sick now, but the responsibility lies with you, so careless, and embarrassed to punish others, I think you are really old and confused." Qiao Feng said impatiently and loudly. Then he said to Qiu Yan, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Okay, don't kneel here and get in the way, hurry up and bring water, wipe the body of the young lady, and see if you can cool it down, and when the young lady is well, I don't care how long you want to kneel." ”

Qiu Yan stood up tremblingly, glanced at Mama Liu in fear, and hurriedly went out to get water.

Mama Liu saw Qiu Yan cowering, remembering what she had just pleaded with her, and gritted her teeth again, hindering the eldest lady and the people in front of her - Qiaofeng was here, but she could only endure it, but her face was very ugly.

Qiaofeng glanced at Mama Liu contemptuously, snorted coldly, and said secretly, the master in this courtyard is stupid, and the person who serves is also stupid. I look down on the people in this courtyard more and more. At this time, she completely forgot that she was actually not much more noble than Mama Liu, and she was also a subordinate in Xie Fuzhong who allowed her master to beat and scold her.

After following the eldest lady for a long time, Qiaofeng, who was high-spirited, didn't want to say anything more to Mama Liu, so she walked in lightly, came to the bed with a warm curtain and stood still, and looked at the bed inquiringly.

Lying on the bed was the young lady that Mama Liu was anxious about, Miss Jiu, the daughter of Master Xie of Xie Mansion. A delicate, fair-skinned and beautiful little face, but at the moment it is red like fire.

Qiaofeng originally just thought that coming to this trip would be a formality, and it would also give the eldest lady a good reputation for loving her concubine; But when she saw the silent little face in front of her, she sighed in her heart, and she stretched out her hand and slowly put it on Miss Nine's forehead, which was so hot.

Then she became angry, turned around and glared at Mama Liu, who was cowering behind her, and said sharply, "How could Miss Nine be so sick? ”

When Mama Liu thought of the reason for her young lady's illness, she was angry for a while, but she couldn't say it, so she could only bear the blame:

"It's all my fault, I didn't take care of our young lady, I really deserve to die, it's really ......"

Qiao Feng listened impatiently to these words, and said, "Okay, don't read the seedlings here, if Miss Nine has a good one, there will be no good fruit for you to eat." ”

Qiao Feng scolded Mama Liu, and then snorted dissatisfiedly, and turned her head to look at Miss Nine lying on the bed again, with black moon buns, new willow eyebrows, almond eyes, and pink lotus lips. The skin is like a jade mussel, because of the high fever, the red jade face is even more beautiful. Even as a woman, she was dazzled, "Alas" sighed softly in her heart, and said secretly, such a beautiful Miss Nine, if she could be ordinary, maybe life would be better.

After Qiao Feng realized what she had thought, she quickly stopped thinking nonsense, some things still don't understand, she looked at Miss Nine on the bed again, but she was unexpectedly met with a pair of complicated eyes, which frightened her for a moment, and then she reacted very quickly, and a happy look immediately appeared on her face, and asked with concern: "Ah, Miss Jiu, are you awake, do you feel uncomfortable." ”

When Mama Liu heard Qiaofeng's exclamation, she also hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that her young lady was really opening her eyes, with tears shining in her happy eyes, it would be good to wake up. Then she said with concern:

"Good young lady of the slave, you finally woke up, but you scared the old slave to death, do you feel any uncomfortable, do you feel better?"

And Miss Xie Fujiu, who was on the bed, looked left and right, and then looked at Mama Liu with dull eyes, and asked, "Who are you and where is this?" After that, he turned his head and passed out again.
