Chapter 82: Peony

Qishu.com . The fastest update of the latest chapter of Jiao Niang as a concubine!

After dusk, Taoyaoju gradually became lively.

The door is brightly lit, and the house is brightly lit. Some wealthy sons came one after another, and of course, there were many rich people, soldiers, or some literati. Those who don't have money just come to the lobby to sit and listen to the piano and enjoy the dance, and those who have money have the opportunity to become the girls' guests.

Yi Xuan stood in a corner of the lobby, quietly observing the passing guests. She covered her face with veil, but no one noticed.

After about two or three hours, the guests downstairs were almost gone, and there was still no suspicious person. Yixuan couldn't help but be disappointed, and instructed Shuang'er: "You go back and inform the prince." Let's just say that I have come here, and if I don't catch the thief, I will not give up. ”

Shuang'er promised to leave.

Yixuan stayed in the lobby for a while, but still didn't see the Tatars, so she prepared to go upstairs and go back to her room. As soon as he turned around, he heard a commotion outside the door. She immediately turned back and hurried towards the door.

The next scene made her blood all over her body cold, as if someone was choking her throat, and it was difficult to even breathe.

It was a dying woman, with unkempt and damp hair, and wearing a very shabby gray linen garment, which could be vaguely seen to have a beautiful silhouette under the sackcloth. She seemed to have been thrown to the ground at random, and she didn't struggle, just looked at the sky indifferently, her eyes empty and cold.

Even if she is reduced to Si, her face is still beautiful.

No one dared to touch her.

Yi Xuan learned from the discussion of the little servants that this was the peony, the peony that was taken away by the Tatars.

Yixuan stepped forward and was about to help her, but was stopped by a small servant, "Girl, this is not something you can mess with, let's wait for Mother Qin to come." ”

Yixuan pushed him away, stubbornly walked towards Peony, squatted down, and said to her softly, "I'll help you in." ”

Peony didn't speak, didn't even look at her. But Yixuan knew that she was alive, and she would occasionally blink her eyes and her nose flutter slightly.

Yixuan stretched out her hand, and the moment she touched Peony, Peony instinctively shrank her body, her eyes slanted vigilantly, and she glared at her coldly.

"Peony, I'll help you in." Yi Xuan repeated it again.

Peony looked at her for a while, closed her eyes, and acquiesced.

Yixuan put one of Peony's arms on her shoulder, and barely supported her to stand up, but it was really difficult, so she asked the little maid at the door for help: "Come and help." ”

No one cares.

Yixuan silently lamented the cold state of the world, and suddenly heard a voice: "Carry the peony to the backyard." ”

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Xiao Que'er.

As soon as Xiao Que'er spoke, all the little guys didn't dare to slack off, and they came over to help, and soon sent Peony into the backyard and put her on the bed to lie down.

Mother Qin sat in the house, drank tea in one gulp, only glanced at the peony, frowned and instructed the little servant: "Please come to Dr. Liu." Little bunnies, if you get through the wind......"

"Don't dare, don't dare, mom don't worry."

Qin's mother said "go", put down the teacup, walked to the bed, and was stunned for a while before saying to Yixuan: "You go out." ”

Yixuan glanced at Peony and said euphemistically, "Can I stay and take care of Peony?" If I hadn't escaped, I might have ended up like this......"

"Go back to sleep." Mother Qin was resolute, "Forget what you saw today." ”

Yixuan was stunned and agreed: "I know." ”

Xiao Que'er sent her back to the house. On the way, Xiao Que'er treated her better than before, carrying a lantern and walking in front.

"This kind of thing, if you see it, you should not see it, and if you know it, you should not know it. Don't say, don't ask, don't think, in order to have less trouble. Xiao Que'er said.

Yi Xuan was silent for a moment and asked her, "Does Mother Qin really take care of Peony?" ”

"No, it won't." Xiao Que'er did not hesitate, "Peony used to be the top brand of Tao Yaoju, and she earned a lot of money for Qin's mother, but in the future, she will never have the opportunity to show up again." When she recovers, Qin's mother will let her move out. ”

Xiao Que'er pushed open the door, went to light a candle, and suddenly asked, "Where is your girl?" ”

"Maybe it's out." Yixuan smiled, "She's an idle person." ”

Xiao Que'er didn't suspect her, went out with a lantern, and blessed her: "The girl sleeps peacefully." ”

Yixuan watched her close the door, rubbed her stiff face with a smile, poured a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and opened the window by the way.

The sound of the piano, the sound of the pipa, the singing, the laughter, the ambiguous and obsessive figure in the warm yellow light.

The night of the peach house is never lonely.

"Knock knock" three times, the door was pushed open, Shuang'er walked up to her, and said, "I have told the prince." ”

"What did he say?"

"The prince was going to bring troops to bring you back. I will tell him what you mean, that you will not go back until you find out the whereabouts of the Tatars. Also, Mother Qin won't let you be exposed to people for the time being, so the prince reluctantly agreed. ”

Shuang'er paused, and said: "The prince also said that he will pretend to be a rich son tomorrow and come to Taoyaoju." ”

Yi Xuan was stunned: "What is he doing here?" ”

"I've come to see you." Shuang'er smiled: "You didn't see that the prince was in a hurry today." ”

Two crimson clouds rose on Yixuan's cheeks, and she pursed her lips and smiled. Then he pointed to a room in the backyard and said, "Peony has been sent back by the Tatars." ”

"Peony? Is it the one who was taken captive before? The twins were dumbfounded.

Yixuan closed the window and sighed, "Not bad." The Tatars are really arrogant. Although Peony is committed to the dust, they are not allowed to be humiliated like this. There are still many missing daughters of good families in the city, and I am afraid it is also for their amusement. ”

Shuang'er also sighed, "Girl, rest, I'm here to watch over you." ”

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Xiao Que'er came to wake up Yixuan and took her to a room. There were three delicate little girls standing side by side in the room, and there was also a grandmother, wearing a lake-blue makeup jacket and skirt, about the same age as Qin's mother, nearly forty years old.

"This is Mama Chang, teaching the girls etiquette. From now on, every day the girl will come here to practice with Mama Chang. ”

Following the customs of the locals, Yixuan had no choice but to respond.

Yixuan thought that rules and etiquette were her strengths, and she should learn them faster than these little girls. Who knows that the rules and etiquette in the Qinglou are different from those in the palace. Speaking of walking, the palace pays attention to dignified and elegant, and it is best to keep the skirt still. What is important here is the graceful style, one step at a time, but not too vulgar.

This stumped Yixuan.

"What are you walking here? It's like a young lady. The waist should be soft! Don't freeze here! The steps should be in a line! "Mama Chang is very dissatisfied with Yixuan.

Yixuan wanted to cry without tears. Isn't she just a daughter? From childhood to adulthood, in her previous life, she was a veritable official girl. If she wants to twist three times in one step, how can she do it!

Mama Chang taught Yixuan for a long time, and finally achieved results, and said with relief: "Although the walk is not very good, it is also a little good." Rest, drink your saliva, and go on later. ”

On this day, only walking and sitting were taught. The sitting posture is not simple, the body should be slightly tilted, and the guests should be gazed at with affection. If the timing is right, you can also reach out and touch the other person, pretend to be inadvertent, and then take it back......

Yi Xuan's face was red when she heard this, and she just wished that she couldn't find a hole to drill into.

In the evening, Mama Chang told them to disperse and eat and rest. Yixuan can't wait to find Peony.

At this time, guests came one after another. The little guy either went to eat or went to the front to wait. There were only two cats fighting in the backyard.

Yixuan knocked on the door, but no one answered. She hesitated, but pushed the door open, and saw that the bed was covered, and she thought that Peony should be inside.

"Peony, I'll bring you food, do you want to eat some?"

Still silent, no one answered.

Yixuan had no choice but to lift the bed, and sure enough, she saw Peony lying on the bed, covered tightly with a futon. Only one face is revealed, closed. But Yixuan knew she wasn't sleeping.

It's summer now, and the futon is so tightly covered that you won't sweat?

Yixuan stretched out her hand, intending to pull the futon down a little, but was shocked to find what kind of body was wrapped under the futon!

There are shocking reddish-purple marks on the neck, which looks very abrupt and hideous on the crystal skin of the peony. Yi Xuan's heart trembled, and she couldn't bear not to show it on her face, and withdrew her hand.

Peony had already opened her eyes and looked at her lightly.

"In this kind of weather, the quilt can't be covered too tightly, and it's easy to catch a cold when you sweat." The scene just now didn't seem to affect her much, and she spoke in a tone that seemed to be homely.

"I brought you a side dish of porridge, would you like to drink some?"

Peony's gaze still did not wave, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.

Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Helping the peony to sit up, Yixuan personally fed the porridge to the peony to drink. The two didn't speak halfway, Yixuan fed a spoonful, Peony swallowed a spoonful, and a bowl of porridge was quickly drunk.

Yixuan originally wanted to ask Peony about the Tatars, but she really couldn't ask about this situation, so she could only forget it in the end.

During this period, Peony kept staring at her intently, Yi Xuan felt furious in her heart, touched her face, and smiled reluctantly: "There is something on my face?" ”

Peony didn't speak, and Yixuan didn't force it, telling her, "I'm leaving." ”

Just as she walked to the door, Peony suddenly said, "Wait." ”

Peony's voice was hoarse, as if she had screamed hard and left a wound. Yixuan paused, glanced at Shuang'er hesitantly, and went back to sit down.

"Youβ€”yesβ€”who?" Every word is extremely difficult for the peony.

"My name is Xuan'er."

"I said, Who are you?" Peony frowned and went to shake Yixuan's hand.

These hands are white and delicate, and they have obviously never done a little rough work. She behaves very gently and dignifiedly, and she must be a young lady from a big family.

Yixuan struggled for a long time. She and Peony are not familiar with each other, so they can't rashly tell her their identity.

"I'm just an ordinary person." Yixuan said gently: "Peony, do you want to go out?" ”

Peony was a little surprised, but the emotion quickly disappeared from her eyes. She lowered her eyes and was silent.

Yi Xuan smiled, "Tonight, you have a chance to go out." There's going to be a boy who will buy you. But don't worry, he just takes you back to recuperate, and when your injuries are healed, he will give you a sum of money to let you go out and live on your own. ”
