Chapter 40: Penetration
Qianzi's words made Li Qingmu frown.
Li Qingmu knew that the folk customs of Dayue were different from those of Dashun, and the folk customs were much stronger in comparison, and people did not have too many scruples. But Qianzi, as an errand maid in the palace, will not be so unintentional in her actions.
When Qianzi said the words of the mother of the world, Li Qing Mushang could still endure three or two points. If Qianzi is really a fine work sent by someone else to his side, then it is understandable to say a few words of instigation at a young age.
But now Qianzi really regards herself as a character, which makes Li Qingmu very disgusted in her heart.
Seeing that Li Qingmu looked at him and didn't speak, Qianzi walked back with the medicine bowl, revealing a trace of sincerity on her honest face, "Mei Ji, although the slave is illiterate, some small things can still be done well." Do you have anything to do......"
Li Qingmu raised the corners of his mouth and showed a shallow smile, and said to Qianzi, "It's just that I'm thirsty, and I want you to walk around for trouble, so it's better to tell Zhiliu." She's just here, so she should have a lot of experience. ”
Qianzi showed a sudden realization on her face, she bent her eyes and smiled at Li Qingmu, "So that's the case, then the slave will go and call Zhiliu in." Maggie, what kind of tea would you like to drink? ”
"Just," Li Qingmu lay down on the bed again, covered himself tightly with a thick brocade quilt, and said, "Let's just make bamboo tea." ”
After hearing this, Qianzi nodded, turned around and went out.
After about two cups of tea, Zhiliu walked into the room with a tray made of bamboo.
She quietly came to Li Qingmu's bed with small steps, and said softly to Li Qingmu, who was lying on the bed and looking at the top of the tent, "Mei Ji, your tea is here." Qianzi said that you want to drink bamboo tea, but the bamboo tea is cold. The slave is in charge and makes you a cup of ginger tea. Ginger tea is the most warm-up, and you drink it to the body. ”
Putting the tray on the small table on the side, Zhiliu said again, "The bowl of medicinal juice slave has also been reheated, and it will be time for dinner in another hour, and Lang Zhong said that the medicine should be drunk before the meal is the most curative." Can you drink some of the seeds later......"
Li Qingmu heard Liu's chatter, and asked out loud, "Are you really thirteen years old this year?" Why is it more nagging than Mama Cui? ”
Mama Cui is now fifty years old, but she is very quiet on weekdays.
Hearing Li Qingmu speak, Zhiliu's face turned slightly pale, but he didn't show too surprised expression.
She lowered her head and said to Li Qing, "The slave maid is indeed thirteen years old. It's just that I have to take care of my younger sister when I'm at home, so I talk a little more......"
"Do you have a sister?" Li Qingmu turned over from the bed and sat up, looked at Zhiliu and asked, "Aren't you everyone's young lady originally?" If you have a younger sister, you should be taken care of by your mother and grandmother. ”
Hearing this, Zhiliu lowered his head for another three points, and his two small hands that were red from the cold were twisted together.
After being silent for a while, she suppressed her voice and said to Li Qing, "The Liu family is a big family in Dashun, and the slave maid is a young lady, but she is just a young lady." The slave's mother died in childbirth while giving birth to her sister......"
Two lines of clear tears slipped from Zhiliu's eyes, and after a sob, she couldn't speak anymore.
Zhiliu's words didn't say much, but Li Qingmu already understood.
The girl in front of me used to be a young lady, yes, but she was not a favored one.
"Then how did you come to Otsuki?" Li Qingmu pointed to the small table next to the bed, and said softly, "You sit down and talk." ”
Zhiliu raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and carefully sat on the small table, with only one side of his buttocks.
"The slave is the sixth oldest girl in the family, and has five older sisters." After Zhiliu calmed down his emotions, he said slowly to Li Qingmu in a soft voice, "The eldest sister and the fourth sister are mothers...... Zhiliu's brows raised slightly, and he paused and said, "It's the biological daughter of my mother-in-law, Qian." Although the second and third sisters are concubines, the aunt who gave birth to them is deeply favored by my father, and the seventh sister is four years younger than the slave maid, not to mention the other three sisters. This time, the father brought a daughter of the Liu family to Dayue, with the intention of coming to Dayue's merchant as a concubine. The eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister have all passed the age of the marriage, and they have already made promises. Only the fourth sister is 14 years old......"
"Then your mother-in-law, the Qian family, asked you to replace your fourth sister to come to Dayue as a concubine?" Li Qingmu asked.
"Hmm." Zhiliu nodded slightly, "She said that as long as the slave maid took the initiative to mention the matter of Dayue to her father, she would adopt Xia'er under her knees." From now on, Xia'er is a concubine, and she will definitely be able to make a good family when she grows up. ”
"Do you believe that?" Li Qingmu asked rhetorically, "If you are still in Liufu, you can still take care of your sister for two points." You are now in Dayue, but no one really cares about her life or death in Liufu. ”
"What else can I do?" Zhiliu suddenly raised his head, and said to Li Qing with tears in his eyes, "Even if the slave maid doesn't tell his father to come to Dayue, the last one to come to Dayue will be the slave maid." Between the concubine and the concubine, of course the father wants to leave the concubine. Even if the imperial court does not hold a general election every five years, it will definitely allow the concubine to be an official family, and no matter how bad it is, it will also choose a businessman who is the right person......"
"You can see it thoroughly."
"What if it's not thorough?" Zhiliu stood up, picked up the warm tea cup on the table and handed it to Li Qingmu, "Who let the slave maid not vote for a good background in this life, not the daughter of the Liu family." ”
"Daughter-in-law?" Li Qingmu took the ginger tea and drank it carefully, and after handing the tea cup to Zhiliu, he sneered, "It's okay to be a concubine?" The most important thing is to have a competitive mother. ”
is like Li Qingmu's mother, although she is only a concubine, who dares to underestimate the entire Dashun harem?
Zhiliu put the empty tea cup on the table, and handed the medicine bowl to Li Qingmu's hand. Seeing Li Qingmu take the medicine, Zhiliu replied, "At least, the reputation is there, and others dare not bully." ”
Li Qingmu frowned slightly, raised his head and drank the medicine. When he handed the medicine bowl to Zhiliu, he asked, "When did you know that I wasn't dumb?" ”
Zhiliu stretched out his hand to take the medicine bowl for a moment, glanced at Li Qingmu's expression, and said in a low voice, "The third day that the slave and maid came to you to wait." ”
Zhiliu lowered his head and looked at his embroidered shoes, "You and the prince sat alone in the study for an hour, and the slaves and maids waited outside, and sometimes you could faintly hear the prince talking, but when you left and went to clean up the study, you didn't find the paper with your handwriting." Since then, the slave has been paying attention to everything......"
Li Qingmu was angry after listening to Zhiliu's words, but instead raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. She can be regarded as meeting a clever and transparent girl, this Zhiliu is many times stronger than Qianzi.
After staring at Zhiliu for a while, Li Qingmu asked, "Do you still want to go back to Liu's house?" ”
After thinking about it, Zhiliu shook his head again and again, and said, "Although the Liu family's property in Dayue was copied, my father bought off the officials and returned to Dashun. He, I'm ...... What can the slave and maid do when they return to the Liu family? ”
"Then ......," Li Qingmu asked tentatively, "How about I take your sister out of the Liu family and reunite with your sister?" ”。
