During the Xuanhe period of the Yong Dynasty, in April, the apricot blossoms were slightly raining, the spring and the sun were beautiful, the weather was bright, there were white clouds, the breeze was blowing, a little cool breeze, and it was the time to go out at this time.

In a four-way courtyard in the alley of the South Street of the Imperial Capital, a quiet courtyard in the south courtyard, the flower beds are planted with all kinds of precious flowers and trees, and here is the residence of Master Du, an official of the Sipin Rite Department.

And there is a white flag hanging on the beam of the house, which is the wife of Master Du who has died.

The Du family is a cultivator, the background is not profound, just three generations of officials, and now the family is Du Zhao, a fourth-grade official, and it has been many years.

A round-faced maid dressed in a plain white linen dress carried a mahogany tray and a steaming bowl of potion and entered the house with her feet raised.

A middle-aged woman came out of the house, with a plain black gown and a Hunan skirt of the same color, only with silver hairpins, and a dignified and serious face.

"Ai Ye, is the medicine boiled, why did it take so long to bring it? When the young lady wakes up, she should drink it while it is hot. ”

"Mama Li, the people in the kitchen are too much, and they still push back to boiling medicine for the eldest lady, and the slave maid is really angry and argues a few words, and the lady has not been buried yet, and these people are beginning to lose their eyes.

What else do you say that the new lady already has a little young master in her belly, and she is about to enter the door, and our lady is still cold, it is too deceitful, how can this be reasonable. Isn't Miss awake yet? ”

"Hey, the girl had a nightmare yesterday again, and she slept in the middle of the night, poor child, she doesn't even have a brother, and the master is so ruthless and unjust, what can I do in the future?"

"Mama, this family is all black-hearted, is the rumor of the new lady true?"

Ai Yeqi's tears swirled in his eyes.

Mama Li hurriedly pulled Ai Ye into the house, looked left and right, and then reached out to pat her, "Don't shout, let people hear the eldest lady, what a shit new lady, it's just a cheap outer room."

This has been happening for a long time, hey! I have been raised outside for many years, and I have already given birth to a daughter, who is only one year younger than our girl, and the poor lady has to endure it for many years for the sake of the young lady, so as not to affect the reputation of our girl.

I pondered that the outer room had been waiting to enter the door for a long time, but unfortunately it took a long time to give birth to a daughter and have no use value, and now I have found an opportunity, and I am pregnant with another one in my belly, but our wife has died.

If you want me to say that Madame's body is getting weaker and weaker, it is because they are angry that they are angry, and what can we do in the future when we pity our girl. ”

Mama Li covered her mouth and tears swirled in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of these old things. The mother is gone, and the father is so cold, this child is bitter!

Ai Ye sighed, and tears fell, "Mama, what else can we do now to help Miss." ”

Mama Li poked her head out of the door, and saw that no one was watching, so she turned her head and said to Ai Ye: "Ai Ye, you are the marriage of our Yang family, I will explain to you that you must do a good job." ”

Ai Ye immediately nodded, "Mama, I was rescued by Mrs., I only recognize Miss Madame as the master, I don't recognize anyone else, my monthly silver is also given by Madame, and it has nothing to do with the Du family." ”

She patted her chest hard to show her loyalty, raised her head and looked directly at Mama Li, her eyes were firm and brave.

Mama Li nodded slightly, and whispered in her ear: "You take advantage of the unpreparedness of the people, write down all the dowries in the lady's room, don't move the big ones, and put away the small ones." If you can't take it, write it down quietly in the notebook, we may have to go back to Yang's house, these are all left for Miss. ”

Ai Ye's eyes lit up and nodded slightly, "I know, I'll do it, I have a good relationship with Jinxiu in Madame's house, she is from our Yang family." ”

"These will be the things that the young lady will be by her side in the future, and they can't be left to that outer room in vain, she can be raised by the master for six years, and she is not a good character, we can't do anything else but we must find a way to keep the lady's dowry."

"I know, then I'll go back in the afternoon, everyone will be tired at that time, so it's easy to do things."

Ai Ye is a clever person, and she is very loved by her young lady Du Jingfu, who taught her to read and write.

Mama Li smiled and nodded, "Good girl, it's not in vain that the girl loves you like this, and there are many rewards for doing this well." ”

"Hmm."

"I'll go and see if the girl is awake, you can take advantage of this time to clean up the girl's clothes and soft books of gold and silver."

"Yes."

"Wait, go and let Yamanai go around so we don't know anything."

"Okay, I got it."
