Chapter 107: Escape from the Qian family at night
"Miss, you just follow the arrangement of the lord and the lady. You read a lot of books, and I believe that many truths are always more than I do, right? That's called ...... Call...... Oh, I remembered that 'those who know the times are handsome'! Miss, think about it! ”
Yueji gently shook the second miss's shoulder, and took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: "Let's talk about it first!" Otherwise...... I'm afraid you won't even be able to get out of this boudoir. ”
These words actually made the second lady cry gradually stop, and she turned her head slightly to peek at her mother.
"Yueji, you are really a sensible child, you know how to comfort Miss for me. However, some words are used inappropriately, and the phrase 'those who know the times are handsome' should be changed to 'obey the orders of their parents', which is the foundation of women's moral training. ”
The lady's attitude eased slightly, and Yueji hurriedly bowed her head and made a "Wanfu" posture, and said humbly: "Thank you, Madame, thank you Madame, thank you Madame for your correction and teaching." ”
In fact, he scolded in his heart: "You old witch, what age are you still using female virtues and female training to restrain your daughter?" The emperor is talking about the reform and the change of the law, do you understand? ”
"Well, Yueji, you're doing a great job. Add an extra tael of your monthly silver this month to reward you for your dedication to the young lady. ”
Yueji didn't expect that the lady she had been scolding in her heart was actually going to give her a bonus, so she humbly thanked her again. Seeing that Madame's face was a little better, she lost no time in adding a few words of flattery.
"Madame, you've been so much younger lately! Look, look, you can't see a fine line in the corner of this eye. What about these...... It is all thanks to Madame's broad-mindedness, compassion, and good karma......"
Yueji is still racking her brains to think of the "good words" of flattery, and uses all the preparations she knows to win the favor of her wife and relax the supervision of the second lady. But before she finished speaking, the lady was already very comfortable with this sycophant, and she was already smiling.
"Yueji, add one or two taels of silver to your monthly bill this month."
"Huh? Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am! ”
"Remember to do your best to take care of the second lady and help her prepare before leaving the cabinet."
"Yes, Madame said very much, the slave and maid wrote it down."
Yueji thanked Mrs. again, and after a while, she had already earned two taels of silver, and her heart was naturally happy. While the smile on Madame's face had not completely disappeared, she said more: "Madame, don't worry, I will take care of the second lady, and I will try my best to comfort her." You see, the second lady's mood has eased a lot now, hasn't it? Madam, don't worry about getting busy with more important things, and I'll leave it to the second lady here. I'll give you a package ticket, and if you can't persuade the lady to accept this family business, I'll ...... I don't want a penny of my monthly silver! ”
The maid Yueji's clever tongue is like a spring, and after a while, the lady who actually said it nodded frequently. It seems that there is really no shortage of such characters in a team! Not only is the business ability extremely strong, but also able to speak well, and it plays a role in the critical moment.
"Okay, well, then I'll take your word for now. Second Miss, I'll leave it to you for comfort, I'll go to Zhang Luo for other things first. ”
After the lady finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to go out, and the two maids she brought were still standing aside with no intention of leaving. Seeing this, Yueji hurriedly squeezed her eyes at them and whispered, "Why don't you follow quickly, are you waiting for Mrs. to punish your monthly silver?" ”
When the two maids heard this, they ran out like smoke.
The door of the boudoir was bolted from the inside with a "bang", and even Lamei, who went to the kitchen to boil water, did not wait. Yueji helped the second miss to sit on the edge of the bed, retracted her previous flattery towards her wife, and looked at the second miss Hu Manyun solemnly.
"Miss, don't cry. I'll pack you right now, the sooner the better. ”
Yueji said, turning around and preparing to open Miss's cabinet.
Second Miss Hu Manyun rubbed her red and swollen eyes from crying, and asked suspiciously, "Pack up?" You...... What does this mean? ”
"Slip away! Sprinkle the girl and run! Got it? Oops, I find it useless to tell you these folk sayings, you don't understand them at all. ”
Looking at the young lady's blank face, Yueji was a little anxious. She didn't read a book and couldn't drag some sour words, and when she was in a hurry, she said something extremely colloquial.
"Oh, I see. You mean to make me ...... Walk as the best policy, escape ...... Marriage? ”
"That's right! My second miss, you've finally figured it out! Don't say anything more, be careful that the wall has ears. I'll pack your things for you now, and we'll leave as soon as it gets dark. ”
Yueji approached Miss again and lowered her voice.
"Where to go?"
Second Miss Hu Manyun also lowered her voice and asked.
"Looking for a rich man."
Yueji's words were like an elixir, which made Hu Manyun rise from endless power in an instant, injecting the most beautiful longing and hope into her heart. She secretly blamed herself, why didn't she think of it a long time ago? Since the two are happy, why not break through the shackles of the world and run to meet him? Now, she can't care about the identity of everyone's girlfriends. She wants to get out of this "cage" built by feudal etiquette, she doesn't want to marry into the palace to serve a husband with many women, so she can only escape.
The second lady, Hu Manyun, wiped away her tears thoroughly and packed up with the maid Yueji. In order to be lighter, she only packed a few changes of clothes, but focused on another package, which was filled with gold, silver and jade and other soft things. She knew that Mr. Qian's family was poor, and these things might be able to be brought in case of emergency. The two parcels were ready, and Yueji, who had always managed the money for the young lady, put the scattered silver that the young lady had accumulated in the past few months into a few purses that she carried with her.
"I'll open the door."
Yueji hid the two packages and opened the door to the boudoir.
That day, the second lady Hu Manyun behaved very well-behaved, and obeyed her parents' words, and for a while, everyone in the Daotai Mansion thought that the second lady had agreed to marry on behalf of her. Daotai Mansion spent a day in a lively and busy life, and dusk was approaching, and the heart of the second lady Hu Manyun had begun to be excited and excited, just looking forward to the night coming soon.
Finally, when it was time to stay, the night gradually became thicker. The maid Yueji took out the clothes of the housekeeper stolen from the warehouse in advance, changed them for the young lady, and she put them on herself. Everything was ready, and the two of them each carried a burden and quietly walked to the back door of the Daotai Mansion. The person in charge of the vigil there is an older old man, who usually likes to drink two or two small wines. Yueji did what he liked, and before dark, he sent a pot of good wine and two dishes of side dishes to comfort.
Now the old man has been full of food and drink, and he is asleep.
The second lady and the maid escaped from the Daotai Mansion smoothly, but fortunately, the sky was sparse that night, and they used the cold light to find the address of the Qian family according to the dictation of Mr. Qian. It took four or five streets and seven or eight alleys to finally reach the most remote corner of the city at that time.
In the narrow alleys, the earthen walls are low, the gatehouses are dilapidated, and the gates are fenced out of bamboo.
"Miss, this ...... Why are you so downset? ”
Since I was a child, I stayed in the Yueji of Daotai Mansion, and I am afraid that I am also used to seeing the pavilions, red walls and blue tiles, and suddenly I saw such a poor family, and it was a little difficult to adapt for a while.
"Go knock on the door."
Second Miss Hu Manyun commanded.
The maid Yueji answered and passed, but in the face of this fence door, she could only shake and shout vigorously.
