After a while, when the sea rose finished writing, she gently placed the pen on the pen rest, picked up the rice paper and blew it.

"What did you write that?" Hai asked to the south.

"A letter to my father."

"What are you writing to our dad for?" He was still leisurely sipping melon seeds.

"Let our father help me open my mouth and mention the marriage to Master Jiang."

"What?" He almost fell out of bed, "Are you in such a hurry to marry him?" ”

"What is this that the second brother said!" She frowned, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that I seize the opportunity." Brother Yuan has only passed the age of the weak crown not long ago, and those matchmakers will soon kiss him. At that time, Jiangfu was full of people, and we didn't know where to put our father's letter. ”

"Speaking of which, it's not because our mother's background is not as good as the eldest lady." He sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that you were a concubine, you would be so outstanding, and you wouldn't be able to marry a good man!" ”

The sea rose glanced at him: "What else do you want to do!" ”

She knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and the time would never come.

The two of them are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and their biological mother Xue was born in a Jiupin official family. Although they are the children of the official family, the official title of Jiupin really makes the Xue family unable to raise their heads in the Hai family, and even the brothers and sisters have to be pressed by the eldest lady.

Hai Wuye opened one eye and closed one eye, as long as there was no big mess, he would be suppressed by the eldest lady Wang. Even the brother and sister came to Yangzhou, and the Xue family took advantage of the time when the Wang family went to the White Horse Temple to offer incense, and blew the pillow wind to Hai Wuye all night, and Hai Wuye agreed.

Xue urged Hai Wuye to write to Yangzhou, but Hai Wuye resigned for a long time. The sea rose waited for her father to soak her feet for several days, and mentioned the matter of Yangzhou to Hai Wuye, and Hai Wuye wrote a letter with a pen.

Snow Lotus handed over the envelope, and Sea Rose carefully put the letter paper in, handed it to Snow Lotus, and instructed, "Send the letter overnight." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry." Snow Lotus frowned.

"If I ask you to do it, you will do it, and if something happens, it will naturally be borne by me and my second brother, and it won't be in your way."

Xue Lian obeyed the order and retreated, and sent the letter to the post station overnight.

It was late at night, Guo Xiaoxiao and Xiaolan walked out of the ancestral hall and were on their way back to the east wing. She only copied a third of the embroidery code tonight, and will do the rest tomorrow. Thinking about the headband in the closet, she looked solemn.

Xiaolan walked aside with a lantern: "Miss will be busy again tomorrow." ”

"yes."

"Miss Hai's headband is also a bit difficult to do. This Miss Hai is also really, she has to pick such a complicated trick to embarrass the girl. ”

"Don't worry, I'll finish it the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss has been doing this for seven or eight days."

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, she had to hurry up and rest, but tonight was tossing and turning, Xiaolan put down the curtain for her, and went to the side room to rest. She lay in bed and thought a lot.

The next day, she opened the door and saw a drizzle outside. Xiaolan heard the sound of Guo Xiaoxiao opening the door, and walked out of the side room with her clothes on.

"It's raining today, and you can't do anything, why don't you sleep for a while?"

"Zijinfang still has some things to deal with, and I can't rest."

In fact, it would be good to leave these trivial matters to Aunt Yarong, but she was so restless that she couldn't sleep even if she deliberately lay in bed.

Since Anan came, Anan has become the earliest person in Guofu, and she starts to make breakfast every day as soon as the chicken crows. This is even praised by Guo Xiaoxiao.

Guo Xiaoxiao and Xiaolan went to Zijin Fang after breakfast, and Yarong was coming out of the backyard.

"Has she ever been back?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.

"I haven't seen anyone since last night." Yarong said.

"If she comes back and asks for something to stutter, give it to her." Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes became gentle, "In the end, it's the person who went out of our embroidery workshop, don't be too harsh." ”

"Yes, the eldest lady is the same as the master, she is kind-hearted."

"These good reputations don't matter." She sighed, "I just pity her." ”

"I'll go upstairs and stay, and if someone from the Murong family comes in a while, I'll be bothered to let my aunt inform me."

Yarong nodded, Guo Xiaoxiao went upstairs, and met a few embroidery girls whispering on the way. Guo Xiaoxiao stopped and listened carefully to their conversation.

Xiaolan noticed something, bowed her head and said, "Slave maid go and call them ......"

Guo Xiaoxiao raised his hand and interrupted Xiaolan's words, so that she didn't have to report it. Xiaolan saw that Guo Xiaoxiao didn't look back and perceived everything around her, and didn't dare to say more.

Those girls looked at the tender faces, and they were all embroidered girls of the "Zi" generation.

Ziming whispered, "Have you heard?" Zipei was pregnant with Murong Gongzi's species. ”

Ziqin was surprised: "What? I only heard that she was fornicating, but I didn't expect to be pregnant with a child. ”

Ziran said: "I heard that the master was going to soak her in the pig cage, and the eldest lady was good at persuading her, but the master had already made up his mind, and he was stunned to dispose of her." ”

Ziqin said: "But did you hear that Murong Gongzi personally went to the fish pond to save her?" ”

Ziran said: "Save is saved, but Murong Gongzi doesn't look down on her at all and refuses to let her enter the door of Murong family." ”

Ziming said: "Alas, it's a pity that she still wants to give birth to a child for him, and now it seems that even if she gives birth, she is a wild seed without a father." ”

Ziqin said: "This is a bad statement, it can only be said that she met a thin lover, if she can meet a good man who knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, then she will not worry about the rest of her life." ”

Ziran said: "It's hard for those rich sons to look down on us!" ”

Ziqin said: "So the marriage is destined, I will go to Qingyun Temple in a few days to pray for a blessing, let the old man help me hold the red line, and meet the son who is dedicated to me as soon as possible." ”

Zi Ming shouted, "When did you secretly go to Qingyun Temple to ask for marriage?" Why don't you bring me? ”

Ziran pouted and said, "Yes, you're too uninteresting." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took their words to heart and continued to go upstairs without being light-hearted. When the embroidery girls heard her footsteps going upstairs, they immediately returned to their original positions, and no one dared to make a sound.

Guo Xiaoxiao's face was calm, he was not angry, and he did not scold. Xiaolan followed behind Guo Xiaoxiao and glanced at Ziming and the others, suggesting that Guo Xiaoxiao had heard them.

Ziming and a few people squeezed their eyebrows and wanted to ask what was going on, but who knew that Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly looked back, and the small movements of several people immediately took it back. Xiaolan quickly closed her mouth and pretended that nothing had happened.

At this time, silence is better than sound, and Guo Xiaoxiao's insight is as sharp as an owl in the night. Ziming and the others held their breath, and no one dared to make a sound.

Without thinking, Guo Xiaoxiao turned his head and went upstairs again. Ziming and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaolan brought it soft and asked Guo Xiaoxiao to sit down. There was hot tea burning on the coffee table, Xiaolan poured a cup and put it in front of Guo Xiaoxiao, Guo Xiaoxiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said: "A few of them are the best with you on weekdays, you should know more about their careful thoughts than me, right?" ”

"Yes." Xiaolan trembled in her heart, "I know a little bit about my daily exchanges." ”

"And what do you know?" Guo Xiaoxiao took another sip.

"Left and right, that's just what Miss heard."

"Zipei's relationship with you is not bad, what about her?"

"Slave, slave, slave......" Xiaolan leaned on her body and stumbled.

"You're so daring!" She slammed the teacup on the table, and the tea spilled along with the tea leaves.

Xiaolan fell to her knees with a "flutter".

"Miss spare your life! Miss spare your life! ”

"You already knew that Zipei had an affair with Murong Gongzi, why didn't you tell me?"

"Slave maid...... The slave maid thought that Sister Zipei's life was not easy, so it was better to ...... Fulfilled her. ”

"How can you fulfill her? You're hurting her! ”

"Miss is angry, Miss is angry." Xiaolan's whole face was buried in the ground.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at the ceiling, took a deep breath, and the words of Yarong echoed in his mind. She Guo Xiaoxiao is the daughter of a rich family, a young lady from a family with status and status, she comes and goes freely, and she can go to Zuixianlou with whichever son she wants. However, these girls who signed the deed of sale are different.

They are slaves, they don't even belong to themselves, even if they admire the son of the family, they can't ask for it, they can't love it! She also asked Jiang Zhiyuan the same question, and Jiang Zhiyuan and Aunt Yarong had the same opinion.

Come to think of it, it should be that she is lonely and unheard, because she doesn't know how to put herself in the shoes of others.

"That's it, I don't blame you for this matter, you can step aside." She said lightly.

"Miss." Xiaolan was a little stunned, "Miss, punish me." You said that if you make a mistake, you will be punished. You don't punish the slave and the maid, but you make the slave and the slave blame themselves even more. I originally thought that Sister Zipei and Murong Gongzi were in love, maybe not making a noise would also be a fulfillment for her. But...... The slave didn't expect to hurt her! ”

Guo Xiaoxiao stood up with the coffee table and sighed: "Actually, you have these ideas, and there is nothing wrong with it!" ”

"Miss." Xiaolan raised her head and looked at her in astonishment.

"What girl doesn't have a spring! There is a saying in the Book of Poetry that 'My Fair Lady, a gentleman is good', if there is a 'gentle gentleman like jade' in front of him, who wouldn't like it, right? ”

Xiaolan was a little confused by her, and she was still angry, like a fire burning her eyebrows, how could she be nervous again, talking to herself and complaining, completely without the anger just now.

"I didn't think it through, and I forgot to think about it from your standpoint." Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaolan and said with a smile, "What are you doing kneeling?" Get up. ”

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment and suddenly cried: "What are you making trouble about?" ”

"What are you crying about?" She stepped forward to help her.

"Slave maid...... Slaves and maids are timid. Xiaolan choked up as she cried, "You will be rainy and sunny for a while, angry for a while, laughing for a while, and the slave and maid will be scared." ”

"My postures are all false, bluffing, you have been with me for so long, don't you understand?" She wiped Xiaolan's tears with a silk.

"Slave maid...... The slave and maid know, but when you just knocked on the teacup, you looked like a master, but the slave and maid were frightened, woo woo woo ......"

"Silly girl, when did I really punish you? I just want you to know that sometimes you think you're doing it for his good, but it's a curse for him. You think you're sending candied fruit, but who knows you're sending arsenic! ”
