Chapter 3: The Return
The wind was bitterly cold, and the snow finally stopped after a few days. There has been a backlog of snow in Su Mansion for several days, and even the road can't be seen clearly, and the people are busy removing snow under the leadership of the housekeeper.
The movement was loud, and Jin Zhao was woken up by the sound of shoveling snow outside. Jin Zhao rubbed his eyes, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the furnishings in the room, and was stunned for a while.
It's not a stranger, but the most familiar place in the depths of her memory, this is the Mu Jin Courtyard where she lived before she got married, how could she not remember, it's just, how could she be in her boudoir, shouldn't she be in the palace now, that seemingly prosperous, but actually cold place?
Jin Zhao thought that he had seen it wrong, maybe he was dreaming, so he rubbed his eyes again and looked at the room in front of him carefully. This time, she saw clearly that she was not dreaming, but indeed in her boudoir. She didn't even believe that if it was really a dream, she would rather never wake up, at least not have to face those sad things.
Jin Zhao held back his thoughts and shouted outside the house, and Rouge, who was waiting outside, heard the shout, so he cautiously pushed the door open.
Seeing Jin Zhao sitting on the bed, a look of surprise flashed in the little girl's eyes, not to think about it, she walked over quickly, stepped forward and bent over, and said respectfully: "Miss, you are awake, why don't you sleep for a while?"
Usually at this time, Jin Zhao was still asleep, but getting up so early this time made the little girl a little uncomfortable.
Jin Zhao glanced at the slightly green rouge, frowned, and asked lightly: "Early in the morning, why is it so noisy, what are you busy doing outside?"
Only then did Rouge realize that it was the noise outside that was noisy for the eldest lady, so he replied: "Back to the eldest lady, right now the housekeeper is leading people to remove the snow, and it has been snowing for a few days, and the snow on the ground is thick."
Jin Zhao withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at her.
Rouge asked softly, "Miss, why don't you wait for the slave to dress and freshen up?"
Jin Zhao raised his head, looked outside the house, and asked, "Where is Qiaoci, where did she go?"
Rouge was stunned when he heard this, listening to this tone, he wanted Qiaoci to serve and freshen up, this work of serving the eldest lady's daily life has always been his responsibility, Rouge didn't know what he did wrong, provoked the eldest lady to dislike herself so much, bit her lip, and replied: "The eldest lady has forgotten, Miss Qiaoci will be thinking about it behind closed doors, and you also punished her to copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times, which will be afraid that she is copying."
is also the maid next to the eldest lady, why can Qiaoci that girl accompany the eldest lady to study, and have the opportunity to read and write, Rouge is inevitably a little unwilling, and the tone of her voice is also a little sarcastic.
Who Jin Zhao is, he can naturally hear the sarcasm in Rouge's words. It's just that she doesn't understand why she wants to punish Qiaoci when she is good, she is the most loyal maid by her side. At the beginning, even her mother didn't want to see her, but Qiaoci was always by her side to take care of her, and even in the days when she fell out of favor, Qiaoci never abandoned her and was loyal.
How could such a faithful girl punish her.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Jin Zhao asked.
Rouge looked at Jin Zhao inexplicably, and said in a surprised tone: "Miss, you forgot, yesterday the Qiaoci girl said the wrong thing and bumped into you, and you punished her to copy the Buddhist scriptures in a fit of anger."
"In fact, it's no wonder that the eldest lady is this matter, who let the master and servant of the Qiaoci girl not distinguish, what to say, what not to say, but there is no eye at all, relying on the favor of the eldest lady, you are self-righteous, and you don't put people in your eyes, it really shouldn't be. The eldest lady punished her for a long time, so as not to make you unhappy in the future. ”
Rouge said to himself, not noticing that Jin Zhao's face was unhappy for a while.
What kind of person Qiaoci is, what kind of person, and decades of master-servant affection, Jin Zhao couldn't be clearer, Rouge said this in front of her, Qiaoci was not, it was nothing more than wanting to slander Qiaoci, so that she would hate Qiaoci even more. But she believed this girl's words at the beginning, so that she neglected Qiaoci for a long time.
Who would have thought that the seemingly well-behaved rouge ended up becoming a white-eyed wolf, carrying her behind her back and having a close relationship with Su Jintong, and helping Su Jintong do a lot of things to frame her. She didn't know this until later, but unfortunately she didn't know it too late.
Seeing that Jin Zhao didn't say anything, Rouge took it upon himself to change her clothes and freshen up.
Jin Zhao thought to herself, since God asked her to live again, then she should also learn a lesson from her previous life and keep an eye on it. used to live without heart and lungs, thinking that everything would be as she wanted, but in the end it was just self-deception.
In front of the dressing table, Jin Zhao couldn't help but reach out and touch his face in the mirror, the woman in the mirror was only fourteen or five years old, she looked a little immature, but her appearance was extremely good-looking, like a fairy who came out of a painting.
Jin Zhao has always been proud of her appearance, and God gave her a good-looking skin, which naturally became the focus of everyone's attention, and it was precisely because of this that the person fell in love with her in the crowd at a glance. It was only later, after she couldn't help herself, in the days when she was left out, that she began to understand how ridiculous and ridiculous it was to use beauty to keep a man's heart. No matter how bright and touching she is, she will eventually grow old.
Perhaps, as I get older, every time I comb and see the face in the mirror, I dislike it, how much I used to like it, and how much I hate it now.
She will never forget the day she entered the palace, she knelt outside the house, but her mother avoided the scene, and she will never forget that her good sister thought about her everywhere on the surface, but behind her back she caused her miscarriage and lost her fertility, and she could not forget the person who once swore that he would be good to her, but she didn't expect that in the end it was the person who hurt her the most.
Looking back, her life turned out to be a joke.
The first half of her life was infinitely beautiful, but in the second half of her life, she was tired and sick, lonely and helpless, thinking that it was over but remaining alive, but she didn't want to be favored by God, probably because she was suffering and let her live again.
That being the case, in this life, she has to live well, live for herself, and never be hurt by those people in her previous life, and those who hurt her and hurt her, she will never forget in this life.
At this time, Rouge had already combed her hair in a double bun, and when she picked up the pair of Yingluo earrings on the dressing table, she couldn't help but exclaim: "The eldest lady's earrings are so beautiful."
Jin Zhao glanced at the rouge full of envy, this girl likes earrings tightly, as long as she sees good-looking earrings, her eyes will shine, her good sister in order to buy rouge this girl, found out the news from her, but did not give her earrings.
Thinking of this, Jin Zhao's eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "What, you see?"
As soon as the words fell, Rouge was so frightened that his hand shook immediately, and he almost lost the earrings in his hand.
She hurriedly knelt down and whispered, "The slave doesn't dare."
A sneer crossed the corner of Jin Zhao's mouth, if she hadn't been relived again, she wouldn't have known that this girl's courage was far greater than she imagined.
