Yu Zhiyan followed Qinghe to Aunt Meng's yard, only to see a few slaves gossiping in the yard, and the fallen leaves on the ground were piled up, and those people had no intention of cleaning them.

Presumably, this Aunt Meng has never been favored, and these subordinates who praise the high and step on the low will naturally not pay attention to it.

When those people saw Yu Zhiyan, their eyes were glued to her.

One of the women in a green embroidered shirt smiled and said, "Isn't this the most face-saving cigarette in the house?" I heard that you dance so well that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it. I also heard that they have become the young master's pillow person, why didn't they even earn an aunt. ”

Qinghe glanced at Yu Zhiyan and motioned for her to leave quickly, don't entangle with these people.

Ke Yu Zhiyan is a master who can swallow his anger, stopped suddenly, turned around and said angrily: "His Royal Highness the Prince, how can you be a servant arranger, you come with me to see Steward Liu and see how she disposes of you." ”

The woman in the green embroidered shirt didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued, "I'm a slave, it's true, what about you, you don't want to climb the high branches, and now you are not all serving your master like us, who can be more noble than whom." ”

Qinghe saw that there were many people at that head, and she was afraid that Yu Zhiyan would suffer, so she hurriedly blocked in front of her, "Sister-in-law Ruifu, you are an understanding person, why bother with Yan'er, a girl who doesn't understand the rules." ”

Yu Zhiyan sneered, "I naturally don't follow the rules, but I won't be talked about behind my back, and I will be lazy and slippery." ”

A few people were stiffening, only to see a dexterous girl come out of the room, combing a long braid, and on her head were a few finely made velvet flowers.

"What's the noise? Why don't you come with me to see the second lady? She didn't seem to like Yu Zhiyan very much, and that anger was directed at her.

As soon as Yu Zhiyan was about to attack, Qinghe pulled her sleeve and signaled her not to make any more trouble.

She followed the girl into the house, and saw a woman with a hibiscus face sitting on the warm couch, and saw that her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and the bridge of her nose was very high, but she was even more lined with a small cherry mouth.

In the rain that day, Yu Zhiyan didn't see her appearance clearly, but now when she saw it like this, she didn't expect that she was also a dignified and virtuous woman, and her bearing was a bit like her sister.

I don't know why, Yu Zhiyan's eyes turned red when she thought of her sister, and she saluted, "Thank you for giving Yan'er a way out, if you stay in the refreshment room, I'm afraid that the slave won't survive." ”

Aunt Meng didn't speak, but the girl who had just spoken sneered: "Just remember, just serve Mrs. well in the future." ”

The corners of Yu Zhenyan's eyes were raised, but a respectful smile appeared on his face, "Yes." ”

Aunt Meng walked down from the soft couch and gently took her hand, "The maid next to me was sent out of the house because of a mistake, so you can stay by my side and serve with Mianliu in the future." ”

It turned out that the girl who didn't know the height of the sky was called Mianliu.

————

In the evening, Yu Zhiyan returned to the house, and very lazily leaned on the mat and ate the grapes.

She doesn't have to do all that dirty work anymore, and she lives a little happier.

Qinghe came back after pouring the footwashing water, and couldn't help but joke with her, "Where did this Mrs. Destiny come from, didn't she go to the wrong door." ”

Yu Zhiyan dragged a few grapes and threw them at her, scolding: "Little hoof, see that I don't tear your mouth." ”

The two of them had a while, but they heard Qinghe sigh: "My sister is different from when she first entered the house, and I don't want to be timid in the past few days, especially when I quarreled with Ruifu today, it seems like a different person." ”

Yu Zhiyan ate another grape and sneered, "Those people in Aunt Meng's courtyard are all treacherous people, if I lower my eyebrows and look at them again, I am afraid that those people will be even more difficult for me." ”

Qinghe nodded, "Mianliu has served her aunt for many years, and she is also the most powerful in the yard, and now she doesn't like you, you have to be more careful in the future." ”

Yu Zhiyan sneered, "That's it, let's not talk about this annoyance." ”

After she finished speaking, she relieved Luo Shang lightly, and just wanted to rest early.

Yu Zhiyan removed the strip of cloth tied on his chest, only to see that the wound had scabbed, and the word 'rape' became more and more obvious.

Qinghe's face showed a little distress, "If my sister marries someone in the future and is seen by her husband, how can this be good." ”

"I'll just get a pattern to cover it up in the future." She pondered for a moment, "What is my sister's favorite pattern?" ”

Qinghe didn't think about it, and said casually, "Phoenix-"

Yu Zhiyan also thought the same, she felt that Feng Huang would be happy to see it in the future, and she could think about why she thought of it with herself.

"Could it be that you like the prince of Nan'an?" She just said casually, but Qinghe's cheeks turned red.

Yu Zhiyan was shocked, "Why do you like him?" ”

It's just the private words of her daughter's family, Qinghe didn't hide it, her eyes were full of tenderness, "Don't look at the prince who doesn't care about the world, but he is also very kind in his heart, when the young lady was bullied everywhere in the house, only he helped him." ”

Yu Zhiyan's face changed, that Feng Huang said that he didn't know her sister, why did he lie to her?

The next day, Yu Zhiyan came to Aunt Meng's yard early, but saw that she hadn't gotten up yet, just quietly looking at the picture of a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren on the curtain.

The heavy curtains hung low, and the sunlight shone in through the screen window and fell on her jade-like cheeks.

When she heard the voice, she turned her head slowly, and said with a smile, "Help me comb my hair, and I'm going to say hello to the old lady this morning." ”

After Aunt Meng finished speaking, she walked to the bronze mirror and sat down, and when she saw that there was a white hair on her sideburns, she sighed and ripped it off casually.

Yu Zhiyan walked over and combed her hair, "Your previous dress was too plain, how about the slave maid paint you a Jiangnan makeup?" ”

The old lady's yard has a regular architectural layout, the corridor turns, and there is a stage several feet high outside, just for the convenience of the old lady to listen to the play, and the vine in the courtyard is extremely beautiful, which makes people forget to return.

Dong Lang walked at the white jade arched stone door, but saw a woman standing under the vine.

I saw that the woman was dressed in a rouge gauze dress, combed with a hanging hair, and wore a step made of silver thread and beads on her temples, and the wind trembled and trembled. The ears are embellished with eight treasures, and the name is red gold hook.

And she wore a pleated cloud crepe on her body, which made her body more and more fluttering, like a fairy.

Donglang seems to have returned to three years ago, and the glimpse of the marriage temple that day will never be forgotten.

"You—" He walked over and grabbed the woman's arm.

The woman turned her face at this time, and Dong Lang's face changed suddenly, "Who are you?" ”

Meng Chuxiu's face showed a trace of bitterness, "Don't you even know the concubine?" ”

Dong Lang recognized his aunt at this time, he didn't like her very much, the Duchess had to let him accept her, and he was tired of seeing her on weekdays, just because she looked like a thin life.

"Why are you dressed like this?" He frowned, and his head was full of the shadow of Yu Zhiyan.

Meng Chuxiu nervously tugged at his sleeve, "If you don't like it, I'll change it when I go back." ”

At this time, the maid in the old lady's house came out and said respectfully, "Young master, aunt, the old lady has freshened up, and asked the two of you to go in." ”

————

At dinner, Yu Zhiyan had just set up the meal, but saw a familiar figure come in.

Gu Jue! How did he come here?! Didn't you say that this Aunt Meng has been falling out of favor?

Just as she was stunned, he had already walked into the house, a pair of deep eyes staring at her coldly. She didn't know where she offended this guy, she only felt a chill down her spine, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Say hello to the young master." ”

"I guessed you're from here." He looked at Yu Zhiyan and said in a very strange tone, "Don't you like to look at men, I was just thinking about transferring you to that bath as an errand boy, I think you will definitely like it." ”

The bowl in Yu Zhiyan's hand almost fell to the ground, she was glad that there were only two of them in the room, if others heard it, how would she see people in the future.

"The slave doesn't like it."

"Really? Could it be that Young Master Ben guessed wrong? ”

He walked up to her step by step.

He drew closer and closer to her until his hot breath hit her forehead, causing him to shudder. Even without looking up, she could clearly feel his sharp gaze on her.

"But you're going to be disappointed, the bath has been demolished by me."

Yu broke the smoke knot, she hadn't finished checking the little guy in the house, but she didn't expect him to break his own method.

The disappointment in her eyes was clearly visible to him, and then his gaze became sharp, a precursor to anger.

Yu Zhiyan's heart sank, and there was a light cough, and it was Mianliu who came out with Aunt Meng in her arms.

Aunt Meng still had such a breezy expression on her face, even if she saw that the two of them had such an intimate attitude, she was not half displeased, but the cotton willow beside her was pale.

"Has the young master had dinner?"

Dong Lang took a few steps forward and sat down at the table, "No." ”

After he finished speaking, he only glanced at the table, and then he was furious, "Are these things for people to eat?" Those bastards are getting bolder. ”

There are just a few simple vegetarian dishes on the table, not even a little meaty, and I don't know what the dishes have wilted into, fried on the plate, and the color is very bad.

Meng Chuxiu was afraid that there would be some trouble, so he hurriedly said: "I originally liked these plain ones and ordered them to do them." ”

Mianliu was a failed figure in her heart, and when she saw that the young master was finally here, she couldn't wait to pour out all the bitter water.

She only knelt on the ground with a plop, "Young master, don't you know, it's common for people in this kitchen to deduct our share, that is, we want those meals with oil and water, which are either spoiled or spoiled." ”

Meng Chuxiu saw this situation and knew that something was wrong, now that the old lady was in charge, if such a thing came out, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the old lady.

Dong Lang's face turned pale when he heard this, and Yu Zhiyan was a little afraid when he saw it.

He went outside the house and said angrily to the servants who were with him, "Tie me up the kitchen keeper." ”

Those people had followed Donglang for many days, and naturally knew what kind of temper he had, so they didn't dare to ask more, and went directly to the kitchen to tie people up.

However, after half a pillar of incense, a few small servants dragged an old woman with a lot of flowers, and the old woman had already seen this battle, and her face was already pale with fright.

Dong Lang sat on the stool with a gloomy face, pointed to the old woman and said, "This is the meal you ordered someone to send, and said, did you deduct the silver?" ”

The old woman didn't expect why he came to Aunt Meng's house today, and happened to see these meals.

She didn't dare to say anything anymore, and was busy kowtowing and begging for mercy, "The young master spares his life, the slave doesn't dare anymore." ”

Seeing that she was so frightened that she lost half of her life, her anger also decreased by half, and he only ordered the little servant: "Drag her out and reward her with a hundred slaps." ”

Yu Zhiyan saw him acting like this on the side, and felt more and more disgusted, sure enough, it was the pampered Houmen Gongzi, who started beating people at every turn.

Who knew that she was still stunned, but a finger pointed at her from afar, "You go to the execution." ”

Yu Zhiyan's face changed, and he pointed to himself, "Young master refers to slaves?" ”

Dong Lang sneered, "Is there someone behind you?" ”

However, beating people is really not a good livelihood, and after a hundred slaps, when Yu Zhiyan started to beat, she felt that she could bear it, but in the end, her palms were already red, and her arms seemed to be broken.

Especially the old woman stared at her with a look of resentment.

After she finished fighting, she rubbed her wrist and said with an embarrassed face, "I also did things on the orders of the young master, don't blame me, mother." ”

The old woman's eyes moved, "How come, now that Aunt Meng is in power, everything she says and does is right, that is, the chickens and dogs in her house can ascend to heaven." ”

At this time, Mianliu came out of the house, his face full of pride, he pointed to the old woman, and said to a kind of slave in the courtyard, "You see, this is the end of disrespect for the master. ”

As soon as Yu Zhiyan was about to enter the house, he heard Mianliu say, "Today, the young master is sleeping in our room, you go and freshen up for your aunt, the young master likes the makeup this morning very much, you go and comb it again." ”

After hearing this, Yu Zhiyan couldn't wait to hit her head to death, she used to like that kind of dressing, and that day in the marriage temple, she was also dressed like this.

It must have been that Donglang saw the makeup that came to this Aunt Meng.

Yu Zhiyan came to the house, but saw that Aunt Meng had already had dinner, bathed and changed clothes, and sat in front of the bronze mirror.

She stood at the door, her heart was very complicated, Meng Chuxiu turned her head to look at her, but her cheeks were crimson, "Yan'er, why don't you come and help me comb my hair." ”

When Yu Zhiyan heard this, he hurriedly walked over to help her comb the ink-like green silk, inserted a silver hairpin obliquely, and then braided two extremely thin braids, and tied a few pearls to the ends of the braids. Dressed up like this, it looks lazy and leisurely, and then the peach blossom makeup is not light or thick on the face.

The skin is like congealed fat, and it really makes people can't take their eyes off.

Meng Zhuxiu looked at the bright and moving self in the mirror, as if he had changed his skin, "I heard people say that you used to be a young lady from an ordinary family, who did you learn from these people?" ”

Yu Zhiyan put on the last hairpin ring for her, "I used to help my sister with her makeup. ”

"Oh? I've never heard of you having a sister. ”

Infinite sadness spread from Yu Zhiyan's eyes, "My sister died of illness a long time ago, but Madame, you are very much like my sister, as gentle and virtuous. ”

The moonlight sprinkled on every brick and tile in the courtyard with a cold temperature, as if the remote courtyard was plated with a layer of silver makeup.

Yu Zhiyan stood outside the door, and through the screen window, he could vaguely see the burning red candle, dripping with red beads.

Qinghe stood in the shade of the tree, saw her coming, and said with a smile: "Let's go back, every day is the willow vigil." ”

She nodded, and was about to walk outside the courtyard, but heard Mianliu rushing over angrily, "Yan'er, you really have good means." ”

“——”

She was stunned and looked up at her.

Mianliu's face showed hatred, "The young master personally named you to go to the vigil, are you really shameless, just want to climb up by such unscrupulous means?" ”

"What?" Yu Zhiyan had a shocked look on his face, "Why me." ”

Yu Zhiyan sat on a chair outside the bedroom, eating pastries without a bite, holding a book of poetry in his hand, but he still couldn't resist the infinite sleepiness.

There was a faint sound of rapid gasping in the bedroom, even if she couldn't see it, it seemed that she could see how obsessed the people inside were, how they turned the phoenix upside down, it must be a piece of living fragrance.

Yu Zhiyan could almost feel the sensation of the man's breath constantly blowing in his ears.

She pulled two tassels off the curtain, stuffed them into her ears, and fell asleep on her own.

Unexpectedly, she was sleeping and thinking, and the stool under her was kicked violently.

She woke up suddenly, and as soon as her misty eyes opened, she saw Dong Lang's angry face.

"Young Master?" Her head was spinning at this time, and she didn't know where she was.

"Sure enough, it's a good maid, Young Master Ben hasn't seen anyone for a long time, but I didn't expect you to sleep soundly here." He was dressed only in a dirty garment, but on the outside he was covered with a robe.

"Is there something wrong with the young master?" Yu Zhiyan rubbed his reddened eyes.

"It's okay." His tone was very unkind, and he casually picked up the remaining half of the pastry she ate and ate it, "It's useless to call you." ”

"That's still called her." Yu Zhiyan's stomach was full of anger, but he didn't dare to attack.

Dong Lang took the book of poetry in his hand and asked casually, "Have you read the book?" ”

"The slave is stupid and has never read it. But there are too many insects and ants, and the slave maid just beats the book with a book. "She told a lie with no red face and no heartbeat.

Dong Lang ignored her, just opened a page casually, and read: "I will take care of him, but I will not be injured forever." ”

But he happened to pronounce the word "觥" wrong, and Yu Zhiyan glanced at him while frowning.

It was just a matter of a moment, Dong Lang looked at it carefully, and slapped the book on the table with a "snap", "You also said that you are illiterate, and you know where the young master is wrong." ”

Yu Zhiyan took a deep breath, "The slave barely recognizes a few words, how dare she show off in front of the young master." ”

Dong Lang sneered, "I said I didn't know it just now, but I know it again this time, I think you are a liar at all, and you are deliberately fooling Young Master Ben as a fool." ”

She was sleepy, and whatever he said was anything.

Dong Lang saw that she was dressed thinly and looked pitiful, so he said with a cold face, "Forget it, it's useless for you to keep vigil here, it's better to go back and rest." ”

Yu Zhiyan heard this and hurriedly stood up, but after sitting for a few hours, his legs were already numb, and he felt his knees weak before he stood on duty, and the whole person fell forward uncontrollably!

"Ahh

She exclaimed, and was about to fall to the ground, but a hand reached out to catch her. She stumbled and fell into a warm embrace.

When Yu Zhiyan's face was pressed against his solid chest, as soon as she looked up, she saw Dong Lang's sarcastic smile. "Why, do you want to give a hug so much?"

Yu Zhiyan saw that he had been refusing to let go, "The young master misunderstood, the slave maid is just numb in her feet, please let go." ”

Dong Lang hugged her in his arms and pressed his chin against her shoulder, "Don't move, let me hold her for a while." ”

The sudden unfamiliar aura made her feel strange, his arms were so warm, but she was so disgusted, "Aunt Meng is still in the bedroom, please respect yourself." ”

"So you don't mind this, I can do it for you-"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a gentle voice, "Young Master, let's rest early, it's cold outside, and it's freezing carefully." ”

Dong Lang let go of Yu Zhiyan in his arms a little cowardly, and said angrily, "You go back." ”

———

The bright moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, and there was no trace of starlight in the Guogong Mansion.

And those birds sleeping in cages, flapping their wings, occasionally let out a few terrible calls, one by one, which is terrifying.

Yu Zhiyan walked back with a lantern in his hand, and when he walked through the corridor, he heard a very familiar voice coming, "Hurry up and lead the way, if you delay my business, be careful that I pick your skin." ”

Just this sentence made the lantern in Yu Zhiyan's hand almost fall to the ground.

It was her father, why did he come over.

She was so frightened that she hid behind the pillar, and when the figures faded away, she realized that they had gone to the prince's room.

Oops-

If her father knew that she would marry the maid by herself, she was afraid that she would not spare herself, and if this matter came out, she would no longer be able to avenge her sister.

Thinking like this, she hurriedly threw the lantern in her hand aside and hurriedly ran to Feng Huang's yard.

Yu Zhiyan once noticed a small path, and the work of half a pillar of incense was half a column faster than usual. She went straight to the path, and she was so tired that she didn't dare to stop and rest.

She arrived earlier than her father, and the guard at the door recognized her, and when she didn't have a connection, he let her into the house.

Jin'er was teasing the birds in the house, and when she saw her rushing in, her face turned white with fright, "Second Miss, why are you here?" ”

Yu Zhiyan hurriedly said: "What about Feng Huang? My dad is here. ”

"Shower upstairs." Jin'er pointed to the room upstairs, her face full of panic, "What should I do?" ”

Yu Zhiyan didn't pay attention to her, just ran upstairs, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Feng Huang leaning against the bath, his eyes closed.

As soon as he heard the movement, he opened his eyes.

But Yu Zhiyan saw the scarred wound on his shoulder through the faint vapor.
