Chapter 202: The So-called Loyal Maid (2)

"Wait!" Chun Ying quickly stopped in front of Huo Yi. "What are you going to say?! said that you and the son of the Gu family have already been engaged in private, do you hope that the old lady will fulfill it?! ”

Huo Yi's eyes turned red again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, what else?" My aunt is waiting to take my mistake, and I can't wait for my uncle to enter Beijing! ”

Aunt Qing wiped her tears and said, "Good miss, this can't be helped." Even if Mrs. Uncle inquired about the traces of spiders and worms from the people on the second gate, there is no empirical evidence in hand, and if you go, you will be convicted of the crime! ”

Huo Yi sat down on the round stool weakly, shook his head and said: "I have been hiding from her old man for so long, and I am already unfilial, if I let her know the truth from my aunt, how can I have the face to see her?" ”

Shi'er sneered and whispered, "Does Miss Biao still have face now?" Ju'er looked at each other angrily, Chun Ying hurriedly and quietly pulled her, Shi'er was not convinced, so she said, "Am I not right?" I also know the great defense of men and women, I have never heard of a young lady who will write a letter to a man outside without telling her relatives and elders, and without the order of her parents, she made a marriage contract, where is the serious daughter's family should do?! Even if Miss Biao is noble...... If you do it wrong, you do it wrong! I've served Miss Cousin for a few years, and I haven't been in a hurry. But I didn't be lazy or miserable, which one was not done well? Why did I lose my life for the wrong thing Miss Cousin?! ”

Since Shi'er abdicated from the throne, he has been holding his stomach in his heart. She still respects that uncle and grandfather, because of his existence, people surnamed Wang are rarely bullied by outsiders in this mansion, although her family has not received any obvious benefits, but with the power of Mr. Wang, others will give three points. But now he resigned quietly, leaving more than a dozen of their families here, I don't know how many brothers and sisters have been angered and whipped, and I don't know how many uncles and aunts have lost their errands, and she is serving a cousin who does not like his wife, and she has to be afraid, for fear that one day it will be her turn to be unlucky! As a result, this young lady did this kind of ugly thing, so that she was innocently affected, she already felt dissatisfied, but she exposed the other party in person, and the other party had to put on a look that she was not afraid of coming, obviously not taking the lives of these girls to heart, so how could she not be resentful? !

Huo Yi listened to her words, his face turned red and white, white and red, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "I know that you must have looked down on me in your hearts, and I have done it." Have the audacity to admit it! When my father was alive, he was friends with his uncle and uncle, and my mother and Aunt Gu were also close friends with handkerchiefs. Brother Gu and I ...... is a childhood sweetheart, his father made an appointment with the Gu family's uncle, and he will ...... in the future I want to marry my children and my family! Speaking of this, her face flushed slightly, and she wiped her face with a handkerchief a little uncomfortably before continuing: "Later...... When I was eleven years old, my uncle of the Gu family took over the appointment of the imperial court and was transferred to the southwest, because his predecessor died of a sudden illness, so he took over temporarily...... Set a wedding date...... Unexpectedly, my father became seriously ill. The southwest road is far away, and communication is inconvenient...... And it was delayed. After entering Beijing, my mother was worried that I would be lonely, so she entrusted me to my grandmother and uncle, but ...... My marriage, there has been a tacit understanding in the family, and my mother also knows about it, I have been thinking that I am the daughter-in-law of the Gu family since I was a child, how can I be the one who betrays my faith because I am greedy for wealth and stability? ! ”

She was ashamed and sad, and hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Don't talk about what kind of parents' lives...... I'll just say it bluntly, my mother died in this mansion in an unknown way, and now what kind of attitude my aunt treats me, you can also see, even if I die, I can't marry into this family! ”

Shi'er's face was sneering, she had heard of the situation when Mrs. Gu died, she only thought it was Aunt Hua's ghost, but Mrs. An's attitude couldn't be hidden, even the old lady had beaten it several times, but she was still a little unconvinced, and muttered in her mouth: "Then you shouldn't hide the communication from people......" Chunying glanced at her, and she closed her mouth.

Chun Ying looked at Huo Yi and felt a little pity for her when she saw her like this, so she asked, "Since Miss Biao thinks so, do you know what the Gu family thinks?" Doesn't it mean that there is no formal contract? There are not even tokens and marriage certificates, does his family really admit it? Gu Gongzi is now in high school, so he won't think about marrying someone else? ”

Huo Yi shook his head: "If he has this idea." You won't write to me......" At this point, her face turned red again, "I know it's a bit Meng Lang doing this, he wouldn't have done this before...... Maybe I'm used to it in the southwest, and the rules there are not as strict as in Beijing......"

Chunying was speechless, in fact, she didn't object too much to this practice, the rules of the ancient people were trouble, so what's wrong with writing letters? Didn't meet again! There is no kiss or touch. If you really want to talk about the rules, you can find many examples in this house, just a few young masters, you can't use girls to serve!

Of course, she also knew that these words could not be spoken, so she cleared her throat and said, "Since Miss Biao is confident, it is the best." I would like to ask Miss Table, those letters...... Where is it now? Can a name be written on the letter? Sent from outside to the house, or sent out from the house, and through the hands of several people?! ”

Ju'er said on the side: "The letters are all from outside, Young Master Gu will send them to the old mansion to Manager Cai first, and then Manager Cai will personally send them to the second gate of the Hou Mansion, and the mother-in-law who guards the second door will call for it, and then I or Dong'er will pick it up, and then it will not go through the hands of others!" Besides. Nanqi has also helped a few times, and we have always said that it is a letter sent from home, and we never ask about it on the second door. After Nanqi left, there was only one reply, and we haven't replied yet. ”

Huo Yi had wiped away the tears on his face and added: "The replies were all written on the spot, sandwiched in something else and brought out by Manager Cai...... My brother and I both knew that it was not proper to do this, so we never signed the letter, and we didn't say anything other than a few greetings. We had already met once at my uncle's house, and that appointment was made. When he was in high school, his uncle came to Beijing from the southwest and officially proposed to his uncle. Although this practice is a little sorry for her grandmother and uncle, she still has her own uncle's family, and there is no reason for her mother's family to decide the marriage, and she and her third cousin have never been engaged.

Aunt Qing hurriedly said: "According to this, even if people get the letter, they can't see that something is wrong?" ”

Shi'er pouted: "It's not appropriate to have communication!" After that, he was a little sarcastic: "Miss Biao allowed my second sister to be a person, but she promised it neatly!" Now that Mr. Wang's family has withdrawn from the house, our other branches surnamed Wang are not less angry! The person who originally guarded the second door also lost his errand, but I am afraid that he may not be able to keep the secret for Miss Biao! Why don't you think about covering up the past? ”

Chunying hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered, "Why do you keep spitting up them?" Aren't you afraid that they will settle accounts with you? Shi'er flattened his mouth: "Aren't you angry when you listen to what they just said?!" Chunying was naturally angry, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken coldly for a long time, but it was more important to solve the matter now, so she asked her: "Do you know the person who originally guarded the second gate?" Do you know if they can read or not? "Naturally, I don't know him, who is as idle as the people in this courtyard? You still have to read and write when you have nothing to do?! ”

Chunying knew it in her heart, so she said to Huo Yi and Aunt Qing: "Miss Biao has her own opinions, we don't dare to care about it as little girls, but Mrs. has already got the news, I'm afraid it can't be good, Miss still has to report in front of the old lady." I have a suggestion, Miss Cousin and Aunt Listen to it, how about it? ”

Her method is actually very simple, the previous letters can no longer be left, either they will be burned, or they will be secretly sent back to the Huo family's old mansion as soon as possible to collect them, and the people in the Hou Mansion will not be able to search them anyway. The correspondence before the withdrawal of the Wang family can be said to be a letter from the housekeeper asking for instructions from the master, and the recent letter can be said to be the head of the Huo family who met the old man after the scientific examination was released, and thought of the marriage of her own young lady, the old lady had an idea, and she couldn't get an idea, so she sent a letter to Aunt Qing for instructions, and Aunt Qing was also not sure of her idea, so she quietly put the letter away. As a result, she was seen by Miss tonight, and Miss was very excited.

Chunying said: "Miss Biao doesn't need to talk about your marriage with Gu Gongzi directly, she only said that she has always been very close to the Gu family, and Mrs. Gu was still thinking about Mrs. Gu before her death, so as soon as she heard the news of her son, she wanted to contact her." In this way, as long as the old lady asks Aunt Qing, she will naturally be able to involve the previous agreement. Even if Mrs. asks something on the second door, she can deal with it with this, how about it? ”

Huo Yi hesitated: "This ...... You just said that I shouldn't hide it from my relatives and elders for outsiders...... My grandmother loves me like this......"

Chun Ying said breathlessly: "Could it be that you want to tell her directly, who are you going to marry, and let her fulfill you?" The old lady is not good, and when she hears this, she doesn't know if she will faint! ”

Huo Yi's face flushed, and Aunt Qing hurriedly said, "Let's just say so!" Miss, this is also an expedient measure, and I am willing to bear this responsibility for Miss. Rest assured, when my wife was dying, she mentioned the marriage contract of the Gu family to the old lady...... She knows it by heart. Brother Lan Zhang'er is now famous, and the two of you are just a match. ”

Huo Yi nodded, and asked Ju'er to freshen up for her, and she was going to change her clothes. Chunying snorted: "Just go like this, with tears, it still looks real!" Now in a hurry, the old lady will go to bed later! Huo Yi sighed: "It's just too disrespectful." So he asked Ju'er to wash her face with a wet handkerchief, re-apply fat powder, straighten her hair, insert two hostas, and then staggeringly helped Ju'er out of the house.

Chunying sighed at Huo Yi's young lady's style, and turned around to persuade Shi'er: "Don't be angry anymore, it's important to get out, the key is that she can pass this level smoothly." Shi'er also knew that this was the truth, so she had to put her anger away and said to Aunt Qing who was wiping her tears: "Auntie, according to what you said, not many people should know the truth, who leaked the secret?" ”

Aunt Qing was stunned, and immediately looked up at Chunying, Chunying waved her hand and said, "Don't look at me, the person who told me the news didn't mention who it was." Aunt Qing grabbed her hand: "Then who told you the news?" We must thank him well! Chunying took a step back vigilantly: "I'm sorry, auntie, I can't say." The man was also at risk, and I couldn't confess her. "Mei Xiang is married to Xiao Chen, and both husband and wife can be regarded as cronies of Mrs. An's family, if Mrs. Wu knows that Mei Xiang leaked secrets, wouldn't it hurt their husband and wife?

Aunt Qing frowned: "Who will it be?" ”

Shi'er looked out the door, and suddenly said, "Why didn't Dong'er see you tonight?" ”

Chunying's heart moved, remembering Dong'er's strange expression in the courtyard when Miss Biao received the letter that day: "Could it be Dong'er's secret?!" She turned to Shi'er: "Didn't you hear Ju'er and Dong'er talk a few months ago, and Dong'er seems to be quite dissatisfied with Miss's choice of Gu Gongzi?" Shi'er suddenly realized, and hurriedly repeated what he heard that day: "It must have been Dong'er's doing!" She wants to stay in Kyori! I always say that I don't want to go to other places with Miss Biao to suffer! ”

Aunt Qing gritted her teeth with hatred: "Dead girl! Miss treats her so well, she dares to betray the Lord! ”

Chunying was a little unimpressed, Dong'er was not good, but she wanted to be with her family, and there was nothing to criticize: "Auntie, we are girls and not wood, who doesn't have parents and relatives?" Isn't it normal not to want to be separated from your family? I heard that when you were young, you also married your aunt, but when you came back twenty years later, your family was gone. No matter how bad Dong'er is, she also has her reasons, you said that Miss treats her well, she shouldn't betray the Lord, but Miss hasn't asked her, would you like to marry to other places? The young lady is smart and learned, but she is too incomprehensible in terms of human feelings, and the aunt and the aunt went early, why didn't the aunt teach her? No matter who she wants to marry in the future, she always has to be a housekeeper, she only knows how to call people, and she doesn't know how to buy people's hearts, so how can she be? ”

Aunt Qing's face turned pale for a while, with a little shame and a hint of guilt. Shi'er saw it on the sidelines and smiled proudly.

After half an hour, the courtyard door reopened, and Huo Yi walked in with Ju'er. Chunying and the others immediately stared at them, for fear that what they brought back was bad news.

Huo Yi walked into the upper room, raised his hand, Ju'er quickly closed the door, and then the former slipped to the ground weakly, silently crying.

Chun Ying was a little nervous: "How's it going?!" Shi'er asked: "The old lady doesn't agree?!" Aunt Qing also held her breath and waited for her answer.

(Pretty much lately, right?) Cheeky begging for little pink...... ）。.。
