When the opportunity comes, seize it. Chunying now understands this very well.

If it was before. Although she is a first-class girl, and she has made a little merit, and she is quite decent in the eyes of the master's family, if she asks them for a delay, it will naturally not be good. It's hard for them to be angry, people refuse to let go, and the errand is going to be yellow, and after a few days, they will throw away their hands with a small guy indiscriminately. Even now, when she has made the "Savior" credit, she is not so miserable that she will always have a thorn in her heart, and always remember that there is a girl around her who wants to leave.

But it is just right to make this request now. Since there are rumors about being an aunt, in order to protect her reputation and innocence, it is also to show her attitude to the second wife Zhuo's and ask to leave the house, in order to show that she resolutely does not block the hostess. With Zhuo's person, most of them will agree, even if they don't agree for a while, they won't blame her, and she will ask a few times in the future. And it came to pass. When she goes out in the future, she will cut off contact with the people of this Dongfu, and Zhuo's family will not be too angry, after all, she has a signboard to "avoid suspicion".

Sure enough, when Chun Ying said this, Zhuo's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Don't be careful, I know you're not that kind of person, the old lady still wants you to preside over it, what to say about leaving the house?" Stop! ”

Chunying just begged with tears: "The slave maid is also old, and she is not as clever as the young girls, and her temperament is dull, and she will not be likable, so it is right to leave this house as soon as possible and give up her position to a better girl." If my wife thinks that the slave and maid are not serving too badly on weekdays, she should only hurt me, and please let me go earlier! ”

Zhuo Shi persuaded a few words, but seeing that she still refused to let go, she sighed: "You want to leave now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to turn the corner for a while, you go back first, rest for two days, go home to see, and then someone chews your tongue, I will make the decision for you!" ”

Chunying said: "Although the wife has good intentions, everyone is full of gold and destroys bones." Rumors are such things, no matter how people try to ban them, they can't be stopped. Maybe the more you want to ban it, the more happy the people below will be. Although the slave maid is the daughter of the family and comes from a humble background, she is also a child of a serious family. Now that he is being said such ugly words, no matter how innocent he is, he can't stop others from looking down on him. The slave is a married person, and there is no reason to look at the ruin of his reputation in vain! ”

Zhuo Shi was helpless, so he had to tell Qingluan: "You help her go back, so I can comfort her." I have my own opinion on this matter, and I won't let you be wronged. Qingluan was excited, woke up from his daze, and hurriedly responded.

Chun Ying thought that the fire should not be too violent, so she let Qingluan pull her away. When he arrived at a secluded place, Qingluan lowered his voice and said, "My aunt, why did you suddenly come to talk about this?!" When you hear this rumor, you come and tell me quietly. I'll take care of it for you, where is it to the point of leaving?! Let people listen, ask questions, and know that you left because others said that you want to be the master's concubine, and your reputation will also suffer! ”

Chunying wiped away her tears and said lightly, "What method can you use?" Can't I? It's just that others don't spread it in public, and it is disgusting enough to spread it in private. Besides, my wife is so shrewd, is there anything else in this house that she doesn't know? so that when she hears it, she will inevitably be careful. Why should I tell my wife to doubt me? It's better to show your determination early and leave here clean! I'm gone, who is still gossiping about me? There are better topics for them to talk about! ”

Qingluan sighed and said viciously: "There is no one else for this kind of thing, it must be caused by the two of Cuiling Jinyu, but I am afraid that the magpie will not be able to drag it out!" When they see the old lady and the wife exalting you, they are jealous in their hearts, and they have to speak ill of you and ruin your reputation before they are willing. ”

Chun Ying smiled dryly: "Why did you pull Cui Ling again?" What does it have to do with Aunt Xi? I didn't hear them say that about me. Aunt Xi is still very careful when she speaks in front of the old lady, and she often says good things about her wife. Besides, this matter is not good for her, Cuiling is not even more involved, don't worry about it. ”

Qingluan pouted: "Don't patronize and say good things for them, Cui Ling serves in front of the fourth young master, and no matter how she and a few of you don't agree well, the magpie was the proud person in front of the old lady, otherwise she wouldn't have given it to the master." Six out of ten girls in the old lady's courtyard are familiar with her, and she is the son of our house. Her old lady is still washing with the old lady's pulp, which is one layer closer than you. Since the old lady gave her to the master, even our wife has to be afraid of three points. She used to have such a face in front of the old lady, but now the old lady values you more, can she have any ideas in her heart? My wife has long had the intention to beat her, and you just look at it! ”

Chunying opened her mouth and closed it again. This kind of drama of wives and concubines, she should not get involved. After a pause, she whispered: "I don't have any other ideas, I just feel that I am really wronged to get into this kind of right and wrong for no reason." I'm even more worried that the rumors will spread too much, and the old lady and the wife will simply make it true, so won't I succumb to death? It's not that I don't think the old man is good, no matter how good the old man is, it doesn't matter to me, I'm the one who is married, no matter what, I have to take into account the thoughts of my future husband's family, right? You also said that it was a good marriage, could it be that I didn't let the head lady do it, and made it small?! She took Qingluan's hand and said earnestly: "Good sister, we have always been good, you can say a few good words for me in front of my wife!" ”

Qingluan returned to the main courtyard and changed Chunying's words to tactful words. reported to Zhuo's family one by one. Zhuo's was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "I'm not the one who can't tolerate people, how did Chunying, this girl, think it's not good to be a concubine for the master?" You say, I treat the master's concubine in the partial room, but there is a trace of mistreatment? ”

Qingluan and Feng Ming exchanged a look, and the latter smiled: "Chunying originally came from Xifu, but I am afraid that she was frightened by the methods of the wife in Nafu. How long has she been in our house? On weekdays, he serves in front of the old lady, so he may not know his wife's strength. ”

Qingluan is better than Chunying, and she is not as close to the Zhuo family as Feng Ming, and she is also a little afraid of the Zhuo family's methods of dealing with her aunt and that flower narcissus. After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "It's also a good thing that Chunying thinks so, at least she is not the kind of vixen who is bent on hooking up with the master." Why can't the (good-looking) wife fulfill her? ”

Zhuo Shi sighed and shook his head: "She has only been in front of the old lady for a year, and she is only eighteen years old, so she is released at this time, what should the old lady think in her heart?" The girl she values, I want to let go, but her old man is sick again. ”

Feng Ming smiled and said nonchalantly, "What is Mrs. worried about?" How can Chunying be the same as other girls? She's the one who saved the old lady! It's just a reward for her! The old lady may not be angry in her heart. Besides...... she leaned closer to Zhuo's, "Mrs. didn't just talk about it yesterday, the Jinyu in the old lady's courtyard has sent things to the old lady's study for the sixth time in the past three days, and every time she is in the name of the old lady, but there is obviously a mother-in-law in the old lady's courtyard who is responsible for sending things." Besides, the slave always felt that Cuiling from the fourth young master was also a little uneasy...... Mrs., Chunying and a few of them came up, and she is not the eldest one, she has left the house to get married, and the others ......"

Zhuo Shi paused, and nodded slowly: "I have my own opinions." ”

Qingluan frowned slightly, glanced at Feng Ming, and sighed secretly in his heart.

After another two days, Chunying went to the main courtyard almost every day, because she was afraid that she would go too far and anger the Zhuo family, so she only went to Qingluan to cry. On the third day, Zhuo's family finally came to Songyi Courtyard, retreated from everyone, and discussed with the second old lady: "Mother, Chunying has made a great contribution before, and the daughter-in-law thinks that she will continue to stay at home, as if she has been wronged a little, and it just so happens that she has decided on a family affair again, why don't you let her go home to prepare for marriage?" ”

The second old lady was very surprised: "Why is this?" Although she was married, I remember saying it when she came. There are still two or three years left in the wedding date! When her fiancé returns to Beijing and sets a wedding date, it's not too late for us to release her. ”

Zhuo Shi smiled cautiously and said, "If it is an ordinary family, it will be enough to get married in one or two months, but Chunying is a little different." She approached her mother-in-law, briefly talked about Hu Fei's origins, omitted the relationship between Hu Fei and the palace attendants, and only mentioned his imperial merchant background and overseas experience, and then said: "Mother think about it, this Hu family is not an ordinary family after all, and he is fortunate to go to the West with the mission, not a businessman with the delegation, but a serious attaché." He is not an official family, nor is he comparable to ordinary businessmen. Such a person wants to marry Chunying as his wife, and Chunying's status can't be too low. ”

The second old lady frowned when she heard this: "Why didn't Chunying mention it to me?" I had no idea that she was married to such a family. So, they're not a good match?! ”

"If you talk about your background, it's really a little unsuitable. But the Hu family has already separated from each other in later life, and he also did some small business in his early years, and he is familiar with Chunying's family, and Chunying is trained by her mother, so she is naturally stronger than the daughters of ordinary people outside. Zhuo Shilou let out a gentle smile, "The daughter-in-law has an idea, Chunying's parents have already let it out, let Chunying also go out, and live a year or two like an ordinary family, and the world may not remember her origin." When the time comes, the Hu family will come to marry again, and it will be much more decent. If the mother is reluctant, it is the same to let Chunying come back often to ask for peace. ”

The second old lady was silent and did not speak. Zhuo sat back in place, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, before adding: "Mother rest assured, the daughter-in-law will never slack off on the waiting staff around my mother." There are many people in this courtyard, and the daughter-in-law is discussing with the daughter-in-law of Brother Youge of Xifu that the two governments should choose another person, and select a few good ones from the children of the family, or those who have not been on the errand before, and if it is not enough, they will call someone to lead someone to the door. The old man returned to Beijing and was promoted again, and the family's manpower should be increased. Every time the daughter-in-law saw Dahong and a few of them arrived in Beijing, she had to lead the horse and drive the car for the master, so she was really worried for them. In fact, they are not the slaves of our family, and they are not young, and they have protected the master well for many years. Why don't the mother and daughter-in-law find a serious errand for them, and then marry the daughter-in-law, can An Ansheng live a good life? ”

The second old lady sighed: "That's it, you can make your own decisions about these things, it's just that Dahong's child is good, you can choose a family business for him outside, and if the girl's family is good, the family background is second." Several other children also choose a girl to match at home, but they also have to choose people carefully. Chunying's matter......" thought about it, "You can call someone to do it, it's done, give me the paperwork." I'll tell her. ”

Zhuo Shi responded with a smile, pulled a few more homely words, and when he left, he saw Chunying in the courtyard and smiled at her. Chunying originally saw her, and was about to put on the posture of a hard-working baby, but she was baffled by her smile, and felt hairy in her heart, this trance, Zhuo's had already left, but the voice of the second old lady calling her came from the house, and she suddenly felt extremely regretful.

A few days passed like this, and it was noon, Chunying made a New Year dress for the second old lady, and was about to go out for a walk, when she was suddenly called by the second old lady. The latter also let everyone else go out, leaving her alone, which made her heart skip a beat, and asked with a smile: "What does the old lady command?" ”

The second old lady beckoned her to come over, and she did so, and saw the other party take out a white piece of paper and hand it to her. She took it and looked at it, and immediately held her breath.

The second old lady smiled: "You are eighteen years old this year, and if you are delayed, you will become an old girl." When is your fiancé going to marry you? ”

Chunying didn't expect that this document would be handed over to her by the second old lady, she thought that the wife was in charge, and suddenly felt a feeling of being caught, and stammered: "Old lady...... Actually, I'm ......."

The second old lady waved her hand: "From the day you came in, I knew that you were going to get married." It's just a little early. Thinking that you came to me, you have always been careful and proper in doing things, and you saved my life before, I really took you as a junior, so I didn't want to delay you anymore, so I asked your wife to do this paperwork. I don't want your worth of silver anymore, and I'll give you another dowry, there are not many things, don't dislike it. You also know that our family has just been robbed, and it is the time to use money, although your lord has been promoted, but it can't be exchanged for silver, and besides, the girl in front of me has always taken this amount of dowry, I don't treat you very well, so as not to make others blush. Don't scold me in your heart. ”

Chunying only had joy in her heart, how could she scold her: "Old lady, don't think so, just like that, the slave is already satisfied!" There is not enough money in the house, so the old lady simply waives the dowry, right? ”

"Nonsense!" The second old lady lowered her face, "My girl, everyone has grace, could it be that you saved me, but you don't have this grace?!" I can afford that little money! ”

How dare Chun Ying argue with her at this time, and hurriedly said: "That slave and maid thank the old lady for the reward!" ”

The second old lady changed back to a smiling face, patted the armrest of the circle chair, and motioned for Chunying to sit on the footstool in front of her. Chunying did so, and then she said slowly: "You are leaving now, I have something to tell you." ”

Chunying honestly bowed her head and responded: "Please ask the old lady to command." ”

"You are the daughter of our Li family, you are different from Qiu Yan, you are different from the newly joined slaves, and your background is already one level lower than others. Your husband-in-law, I have also heard of it, is a person with a higher background than you, a promising future, and I heard that he also has some family business. If such a person wants to marry you wholeheartedly, it is naturally best, if he dislikes you in the future and wants to withdraw from the marriage and marry someone else, don't be sad, just come to me. I'll find a good home for you. ”

Chunying was stunned, feeling a little complicated: "Old lady......"

The second old lady just continued: "If he keeps his word and marries you decently, he will be good to you in the future, then it will be your creation." It's just one thing, you have a bad background, you are already a level lower, and you will not have enough confidence to speak and act in the future. If he looks down on you and makes you angry, you can come to me. When I'm gone, it's the same with your wife. ”

Chunying only felt that her nose was sour: "Old lady......"

"Don't be long-winded with me, I have experienced a lot more in getting along with husband and wife than you. No matter how well he treats you, you must give birth to an heir as soon as possible, and as long as you have a son, you will speak much harder. Don't relax on family matters, you have learned a lot in the past year by my side, and I believe that these will not be difficult for you. If your husband wants to make friends with dignitaries and nobles in the future, I can't help you much, but I can only ask your wife if she can take you to someone's house. ”

Chunying's eyes were red, and she felt that her face was spicy, and she felt a burst of shame in her heart.

Since she entered the East Mansion, she has never used her sincerity to these masters, even if it is the second old lady who serves day and night, she is also using most of her thoughts, but she is just pretending to be an old entity and sticking a good girl's appearance to deceive people. Even when she was in danger a few days ago, the moment she picked up the second old lady, she thought more about her own safety. The second old lady really cared for her, and told her so many words, even if she didn't approve of some of them, she could also feel the other party's sincerity to herself.

Perhaps for the first time after the crossing, she knelt down in front of the second old lady and kowtowed to the other party sincerely: "The slave will never forget the grace of the old lady in this life......" The second old lady just stroked her head and smiled lovingly.

Holding the slave release paperwork, Chun Ying walked out of the door, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, bringing a burst of fragrance, and two points of tender red floated in front of her. She looked up and saw that it was the peach blossoms in the courtyard next door, and the petals were blown away by the wind and crossed the courtyard wall.

It's spring season! ~！
