Ran Jia was shocked, frightened and angry, and hurriedly called someone to carry him to the master's courtyard, so he didn't pay attention to the follow-up situation of Ying Key.

She is a first-class girl beside her wife, and she has been with her master since she was four years old, although she is a girl, but she looks like a pink jade carving, and her personality is well-behaved and cute, so the master is very good to her, almost as half a sister. Ran Jia followed the master to recognize, practice, and copy scriptures, and also learned exquisite embroidery together, and her cooking skills were also the masters who retired from the three imperial dining rooms.

Ran Jia never dared to slack off because of her master's love, she tried her best to keep her brilliance low, but she didn't expect to be targeted by Ying Key and a wolf. Not to mention his existence among the subordinates, even the masters have heard of it, and everyone looks at her with the eyes of Ying Key's future daughter-in-law.

She was very annoyed by the feeling of being stamped on someone, and worked hard to save up her monthly money, never daring to spend more, so she wanted to take advantage of the master's favor to be willful, redeem herself, and then choose a lover to marry.

It's just that before Ying Key fell into a coma, he asked the master to give her to him.

How could Ran Jia agree, she knelt outside the master's courtyard, stubbornly wanting her master to intercede for herself. The master who usually felt sorry for her said that she shouldn't come down, the rain fell one after another, looking at the gray sky, Ran Jia knew that she was a slave after all, what qualifications did she have to prevent herself from becoming a reward to be rewarded by the master?

No matter how much she is favored by her master, she is just a beautiful and well-behaved pet thing, and the key is different, he has outstanding ability and does not know how many things he has done for his master, and he is the most powerful hero in the house.

Ran Jia's body was weak, and she was drenched in the rain again, and she lay crookedly in bed for three days.

When she was completely well and went to report to her master, she gently groomed her master's makeup, and asked her master softly what hairstyle she wanted to wear and which head and face.

Mrs. Qin Hou looked at the little girl who was still a little pale in the bronze mirror, and sighed lightly, "At home, you can simply pull up my hair and bring two or three jade hairpins."

Ran Jia, I'm also for your good, your appearance, figure, and knowledge are good, and only the key can protect you. He holds you in his heart, which is what many women crave. ”

"Master, the slave and maid understand," she said with a chuckle, "who is the slave and the maid not married?" The chief of the guard knows the roots, and he is a responsible man, he can treat the slave and maid well for four or five years, which can be regarded as a good trust. ”

"It's rare that you can see it," Mrs. Qin Hou said with a pleased smile, "It's so fast, I remember that when I first met you, you were so big, your eyes were moist and shiny like a pair of ripe grapes, and your skin was as white as snow." In the blink of an eye, you are going to get married, and it will be difficult for our master and servant to see each other in the future. ”

"Master, if you don't dislike it, the slave and maid are still waiting for you." Ran Jia's words also carried a strong reluctance.

"What stupid things are you talking about, our lord has promised you a marriage, and he has already removed your slavery from the yamen. In the future, you will take care of the key at home, and the couple will live a small life, which can be regarded as repaying me and my grandfather for their hard work. This kid is also like you, he grew up with Hou Ye, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a brother.

He has suffered too much for the Hou Mansion, and now, now he can't see it, in the end, our Qin Hou Mansion has treated him badly.

Ran Jia, he is a person worthy of trust, he is the husband who will go with you to the white head, you are so smart, you should know what to do to be good to yourself. ”

She obediently responded.

"Yesterday, someone from the Zhuangzi below sent me some strawberry oranges, you help me bring some to Ying Key, his mouth must have no taste when he drank medicine recently." As she spoke, Mrs. Qin Hou beckoned someone to load a small basket.

Ran Jia pursed her lips slightly, took it, smiled lightly and left.

"This little girl looks well-behaved and supple, but she has a big idea," Mrs. Qin Hou said to Grandma, "I don't know if it's right to do this." ”

"Master, the girl is young and can't see through a lot of things, so we can't rely on her temperament. What a good husband the chief of the guard should be, if the old slave has a daughter, he will keep the marriage. When the young couple live together, they know that it is good to support each other, and they will only thank you and the master for their wisdom. ”

"I hope that for the two of them, my master and I have done everything we should do, and it can be regarded as a complete master-servant friendship."

Ran Jia carried the fruit basket and walked step by step to the courtyard where the people were below, her mind was still complicated, and she couldn't imagine how she and Ying Jian would get along in the future. I don't know if it's because she had a serious illness and has no choice but to recognize the reality, or if she really thought it through, she lost her previous disgust and rejection for that man, and only calmed down with a touch of unwillingness and helplessness.

When they met the people they knew well, they all looked at her playfully, and enthusiastically pointed out the courtyard where Ying Key was, making her porcelain white face glow with peach blossoms.

The row of courtyards where Ying Key lives is eighty or ninety new, with white walls and blue tiles, quite a bit of the charm of water alleys.

The door was closed, and she tapped a few times.

"Who?" A crisp voice came from the courtyard, and then brisk footsteps sounded, and the door creaked, revealing a delicate woman who was also wearing emerald clothes, "Ran Jia?" She exhaled in surprise, then changed her little face to blush, welcomed the person in, and said as she walked: "The old lady was worried about Brother Ying's injury, and was afraid that there would be no close person around him to take care of him, so she sent me over to help him." Ran Jia, you won't mind, right? ”

Ran Jia chuckled and shook her head, "I was also ordered by my master to send some fruit to the head of the guard." ”

Xue Hua glanced at her strangely, and really didn't mind at all, she was secretly annoyed that this person didn't know how to cherish it, and she felt distressed that Ying Key's blood was in the wrong place.

As soon as they walked into the door of the bedroom, a pale man sitting by the window wearing a thin black shirt said in a cold voice: "Miss Xuehua, there is no inconvenience here, please reply to the old lady, and Ying will personally go to thank you another day." ”

Xue Hua reluctantly responded: "Brother Ying, you don't need to be polite with me, we can be regarded as growing up together, and the friendship is not comparable to others." You take care of me a lot on weekdays, and now that you are like this, I should help me more. ”

Ying Jian pursed his lips: "Ying Mou is just a rough person, he shouldn't treat the girl like this, if it spreads, it may tarnish the girl's reputation." It's better not to come back in the future. ”

Xue Hua's face turned pale instantly, she looked at Ying Jian in a daze, and then turned her head to look at Ran Jia, who lowered her head and put the fruit out of the basket. She gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Ying, I don't care, I just know that when I was a child, I was bullied, and you beat people away, and you gave me medicine for injuries." Don't you usually bring me things when you go out on missions? Now that you can't see, I am willing to be your eyes for the rest of my life, serving you tea and water, sewing clothes and making shoes, reading and singing. ”

The man rubbed the bridge of his nose with a tired expression, sighed and said, "Ying Mou is just a waste person now, the girl has so many good choices, so don't waste time and energy on Ying." Otherwise, Ying would not dare to return to the Hou Mansion. ”

Xue Hua smiled dejectedly, "Okay, I know, since Brother Ying is not rare to me, then Xue Hua can only read a scripture for you every day, and I wish you a peaceful and happy life." ”

After speaking, she looked at Ran Jia with hatred, "Ran Jia should be a good person, Brother Ying is a good person, you must not live up to his deep affection and no regrets." ”

Two lines of tears rolled down, and she turned and ran away.

There was helplessness between Ran Jia's eyebrows, everyone envied her and persuaded her, but feelings couldn't be forced. In four or five years, she has not been tempted by the key once, even if she accepts her fate at this moment, she can only guarantee to respect him as a guest, after all, how many people in reality can have a concubine who is interested in the book?

Without love, they can have family affection.

"The master said, said you should come down?" The man's hand on his knee was clenched tightly, his angular face was as expressionless as ever, and a new scar on his forehead added to it. He just sat there, and the air was filled with the scent of a man in him.

Ran Jia's neck was flushed with pink, she hummed softly, poured a glass of warm water for the man, and handed it to his hand hesitantly.

The man's hand held the cup, and with the smooth hand, he rolled his Adam's apple up and down, and pulled the slender woman into his arms with a slight force.

He lowered his head and struggled to open his eyes, but it was pitch black, and he could only rely on his imagination.

The woman's struggle was too small, and her mouth was full of white teeth, and his hand was oozing blood, but he stubbornly still circled her, and even leaned over to smell the fragrance next to her ears.

"You don't want to do this," she said, her voice trembling, "I, I'm afraid. ”

"Are you afraid?" The man sneered: "Why are you afraid to come down?" Don't you know that this is a normal thing between husband and wife? ”

The man's expression and tone were full of thick and cold sarcasm, and Ran Jia's body trembled even more when he heard it. I don't know if it's her delusion, I always feel that the man in front of me is different from the past, and too, blindness is too big a blow to people, and his personality will be affected to some extent.

"Or is this your delaying tactic, when you have already started planning a way back? I might as well guess, you can't get out of the mansion, and the one who can resist the two masters and deter me for you is definitely not the subordinates in the mansion. It can only be the ministers of the DPRK and China who came to cheer when the Hou Ye held a birthday banquet?

Ran Jia, would you rather marry an old man of half a hundred and be a concubine than commit yourself to me?

Am I so unbearable, so disgusting? ”

As he spoke, his hand began to grope for the clasp around her neck, and with a slight flick he opened it, all the way down.

Ran Jia was stunned, she grabbed her collar tightly, and roared in shame: "Ying Key!" ”
