The Prime Minister's Mansion, the residence of Gu Yangling, the prime minister of the dynasty, was built in the northwest corner of the capital, with a total of 38 large and small courtyards, nearly 1,000 houses, and the scale is close to the palace.

Xin Yumei's residence is in a remote place in the far corner of the mansion, secluded and planted with plum blossoms. Xin Yumei originally thought that this was Gu Yangling's preferential treatment to her, after all, she had saved him once.

But now, Xin Yumei found out that where is this preferential treatment, it is clearly deliberately difficult for her. How magnificent the prime minister's mansion is, how many rules, one of them, the concubine in the mansion, every day to go to the house's wife to ask for peace. She is the seventeenth concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, living in the most remote area, and she needs to go out half an hour in advance every day.

On this day, it was the first day she went to her wife's residence to say goodbye, and what was even more tragic was that she was originally infected with the wind and cold, and she was pulled by her grandmother last night to carry the family law, and she didn't sleep all night. At this time, I was forced to go to ask for peace, my feet were weak and weak, and I relied on my will to rush to that side.

However, in spite of her haste and hurry, when she arrived, the lady's room was full of women, and eight concubines were present, excluding the deceased.

She is the ninth, and the seat is arranged in the far corner.

She tried hard to think about what her grandmother had taught her last night, walked in with small steps, bowed to her wife, and saluted, "Concubine, please greet your wife." ”

When Madame saw her, it seemed that her good mood was instantly swept away by her, and she glanced at her with disgust, "Why did you come so late?" ”

Yu Mei originally wanted to defend herself, but after thinking about it, she found that the defense would not work, so she simply admitted her mistake and said: "The concubine knows her mistake and does not dare to make it again, please forgive Mrs. for this time." ”

At this time, a woman wearing a pink jacket and a white fur collar sitting on her right suddenly hid her face and laughed, "If it is really as Madame said, he is a sensible and talkative person!" ”

The tone is tricky, yin and yang weird, and it is clear that he is satirizing Yumei's cheapness.

Yumi didn't understand her sarcasm, but she had neither the heart nor the power to care at the moment, she just wanted to end it quickly, go back to a quiet place and lie down, if she could sleep without waking up, it would be the best.

So she kept her posture of saluting, not moving or talking.

Seeing that she was so stoic and spineless, Mrs. felt more and more that Xiangye was confused this time, and she actually fell in love with such an obscene woman.

But even so, she found that she was still helpless, and she became more and more annoyed in her heart, and she didn't want to see her again, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's be rude." ”

Yu Mei thanked her, and was about to return to her seat, when she was called again: "The concubine enters, you need to serve tea, you didn't fulfill your duties before, so make up for it today." ”

After that, a girl walked in with a disc. Yu Mei saluted Mrs. first according to the number of courtesies, and then the concubines, others didn't do anything, and took the tea after saying some mean words. But when I got to the sixth aunt, something went wrong.

Yu Mei was already weak, and the sixth aunt deliberately made a mistake when receiving the tea, so the cup of tea fell to the ground and stained the sixth aunt's wool boots.

The sixth aunt immediately kicked her angrily, and she was kicked to the ground, and she suffered from abdominal pain for a while.

Xiao Yu was so insulted that Miss was so angry, so she went to theorize: "Sixth wife, no matter what happens to my young lady, she is also the seventeenth wife who married into the mansion, how can you beat someone!" ”

However, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not the Xin Mansion, it's good that she doesn't speak, but this speech will cause a big disaster!

Among these people, nine out of ten people are not beautiful and unpleasant, and they have long wanted to make a little stumbling, but Yumei has been cautious and forbearing, and it is difficult for them to find mistakes, so they are safe.

Xiaoyu ...... this time

I saw that the sixth aunt smiled first, and then got up and bowed to Mrs., "Madam, you have also seen the matter of the party, this seventeenth aunt doesn't know if she has an opinion on the concubine body or what, she was fine before, but it is not right to get to the concubine body, first she splashed the concubine's body, and then connived at a lowly slave, shouting at the concubine's body, it is simply a crime!" ”

She deliberately bit the words of the lowly minions and the following crimes very hard.

The pair of Danfeng eyes kept wandering on Yumei and Xiaoyu, and then his voice sank, "It's just a girl's ring, where can you have such courage!" It's not instigated by the master, it doesn't matter if the concubine is wronged today, I'm just afraid of ......" said, the style of painting suddenly changed, and there were already snot and tears together, and he instigated: "The coming day will be even more rampant, but dare to bully you...... On the head, you are a dignified woman! ”

Turning black and white upside down!

However, the eight people sitting in the hall nodded in unison, demanding that the lady be severely punished.

It seems that in their eyes, it is a trivial matter for the sixth aunt to beat the seventeenth aunt, and Yahuan defends a sentence for the master, but it is a heinous crime, and she should go to eighteen layers of hell!

I had heard about the eighteenth class of wealthy families, but I didn't want to experience it in person, so Yu Meimeng remembered the father-in-law who had his ear cut off last night...... The father-in-law who has been with the princess for a long time can lose her ears in an instant, what about her, the new concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Isn't it...... Losing your life?!

Thinking of this, Yumei had a deep fear from the bottom of her heart, Xiaoyu was not only her maid, but also a playmate who grew up together, she couldn't watch such a thing happen anyway.

So she endured the abdominal pain, hurriedly knelt down straight, bowed heavily, and hurriedly pleaded, "Madam, it was the concubine's poor teaching that made Xiaoyu collide with the sixth wife, and asked Mrs. for the sake of me and the newcomer, spare Xiaoyu this time, the concubine is guaranteed, Xiaoyu will not dare to commit it again!" ”

Who knew that the sixth aunt was too desperate to chase, and hummed: "Guarantee? You can't protect yourself, what kind of guarantee do you get! ”

Yu Mei glanced at the sixth aunt and didn't defend her, but turned her head, looked at Madame, was resolute, raised her head and said: "Madam, the subordinate is at fault, the master's fault, if there is any punishment, the concubine is willing to bear it!" But...... Yahuan is mine, even if there is a mistake, the concubine will be severely punished, and others have no right to ask, please Mrs. Mingjian! ”

"You ......" The sixth aunt wanted to argue again, but was glared at by the lady and stopped.

"You are a master and servant!" Then, Mrs. glanced at Xiaoyu, then at Yumei, and said slowly: "Aunt Seventeen, if you don't control it strictly, if you commit a crime, according to the rules, you should be punished heavily, but ......" She paused, and said: "Reading that he first entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was the first offender, and he fell lightly, and now I have thought about it behind closed doors and copied the family law a hundred times!" ”

Family Law ......

Yu Mei just watched it once, and it took a whole night, and she had to copy it a hundred times, and she was afraid that she would have to copy it until she was old and her hands were broken.

But...... In this way, Xiaoyu can be regarded as preserved.

Thinking like this, Yumei exhaled and felt the taste of life again.

She suddenly realized that this thing is really strange. At that time, she followed her master to practice medicine in the mountains, and what she wanted was freedom from the sky to the sea.

Now let alone freedom, even the net worth and lives of her and Xiaoyu seem to be pinched in the hands of others, and they may die at any time.

However, even so, when she finally won a brief moment of survival, she still felt relieved.

Instead of bitterness.

But Xiaoyu is completely different from what she thinks.

Although she is just a maid, but in the past, in Xinfu, followed Miss, Miss was favored by the master, she looked at her heart and rejoiced, but now the situation has changed greatly, Miss entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was humiliated again and again.

She couldn't understand why the young lady could endure it like this.

Aggrieved, too aggrieved!

The two walked on the way back to the room, Xiaoyu couldn't help but whisper: "Miss, these people are too deceitful, why should we bear it, let Xiaoyu go to Xiangye and let him call the shots for us!" ”

Yumei seemed to hear a joke and said with a smile: "Perhaps, this is what Xiangye meant?" Then, she patted Xiaoyu's hand and comforted: "Okay, that's it, just bear with it." ”

Xiaoyu didn't understand a word of what she said to her, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she had to mumble: "But why do we have to endure it?" ”

But I don't know when, followed by a pair of master and servant, the master is about twenty years old, plump, dressed in a fully embroidered lily jacket, and has a noble temperament. But looking at that face, except for a pair of almond eyes, everything else is commonplace.

She walked silently, following them four or five paces away, and could hear their conversation clearly.

couldn't help but answer, and hummed: "It's right to endure it, I can't bear to see the sun tomorrow!" ”

After that, he walked straight past the two Yumi who stopped, and after a while, disappeared around the corner.

"It's over, it's heard." Xiaoyu was taken aback, a little flustered for a while, and hurriedly went to see Yumei. Yumei didn't care about this, but was attracted by the woman's unique temperament, looked at her blankly for a long time, and whispered: "That's ...... Who? ”

Xiaoyu replied: "That's Aunt Jiu, it seems that her surname is Hu, and she has a strange temper." After a pause, seeing that Yumei was still standing, he urged: "Miss, let's go back." ”

The month of being confined to copying books was unexpectedly pleasant.

Although they were trapped in Zijinju all day long, fortunately, everything was supplied normally, and the concubines' deliberate difficulties came to an abrupt end since that day, and there was no follow-up.

Originally, the family law that Mrs. urged her to finish copying quickly, as if it had been forgotten and ceased to exist.

What surprised her even more was that in the cold winter weather, occasionally injured and lost small animals accidentally scurried into her yard, and she treated them, and the days were silent, becoming more and more colorful.

On this day, a rabbit she rescued, taking advantage of her unpreparedness, actually escaped from the yard, and when she saw that there was no one around, she chased out with footprints.

Finally found it in the garden, and when she walked back with it in her arms, she saw a square pavilion, and the fragrance of tea wafted from the square pavilion, and she followed it with curiosity.

When he got closer, he saw that the person sitting in the court to make tea was Gu Yangling.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late.

Gu Yangling had already beckoned her over: "It's all here, let's have a cup of hot tea." ”

In desperation, she walked up to the pavilion and sat down. Since the last time the two of them parted in the courtyard, they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and she found that the person in front of her had not changed at all, as if the two had just met yesterday and tasted good tea together.

Gu Yangling poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her. Suddenly, he whispered, as if sighing softly, "You've lost weight." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "Are you still used to living in the house?" ”

Yumei picked up the teacup, smelled the tea, and nodded.

The two of them didn't say anything else, and sat down for a while. Until a cold wind suddenly blew, Yumei shivered, Gu Yang Lingfang stood up, took off his cloak, and draped it on her body.

Suddenly, he said, "Later, when I went to the front hall for dinner, there was a person who wanted to see you." Because he still maintained the posture of cloaking her, the hot breath exhaled when he spoke in Yumei's ears, Yumei was not used to it for a while, she felt both itching and heat, and the heating rose from her ears, and in an instant she swam all over her body, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She ducked to the side and nodded.

I forgot to ask "who it is".
