Chapter 8: Nightmares
As soon as Ah Sai took a step forward, he was grabbed by Zhang Wei's arm, and Zhang Wei said: "Ah Sai, don't go, even if I die, I will die clearly, what is going on?" ”
Ah Sai turned around, stretched out his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Silver!" ”
"Asai, you are so ruthless!"
After Zhang Wei blamed Ah Sai, he went through his purse angrily, took out a silver ingot and put it in Ah Sai's hand.
"Now you can say it!"
Ah Sai checked the silver in his hand, took out a small piece from his purse, threw it to Yu Shen, and said, "Naturally, there is none!" ”
When Zhang Wei heard this, he stared straight and said, "I know no, what I want to know is why there is no way!" The eldest prince vs. the princess, why is it all of a sudden? ”
"Why not?" What Ah Sai was waiting for was Zhang Wei's words, and as soon as Zhang Wei's voice fell, Ah Sai answered.
"Let me tell you, the eldest prince and princess are brother and sister after all......"
Ah Sai pondered Xiao Mingyi's instructions in his heart, and became a second-time long-tongued woman for the first time, and told the matter again with added fuel and vinegar, only to hear Zhang Wei and Yu Shen dumbfounded.
Zhang Wei said in disbelief: "You say, the princess just said a few words to the eldest prince?" ”
Asai nodded.
"But didn't they have a grudge before?"
"How can brothers and sisters have an overnight feud!" Assai said it for granted.
Zhang Wei was thoughtful, and wanted to ask something again, but he only saw Ah Sai's back.
Zhang Wei touched his chin and thought about it, and then asked Yu Shen: "Eh, don't you think Ah Sai suddenly talked too much?" ”
Yu Shen looked at Ah Sai's back, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't think so." ”
"Why not?" Zhang Wei immediately retorted: "It's clear that there is!" ”
Yu Shen smiled "hehe": "Then, let's bet another ten taels of silver?" ”
"you!" As soon as Zhang Wei heard the silver, he hurriedly put on his face, "Impossible, change shifts immediately, you invite me to drink in a while!" ”
But in two hours, the entire family knew about the deep brother-sister relationship between the eldest prince and Princess Mingzhu.
……
Xiao Mingyi waited until the end of the Wu hour, and then waited for Ah Sai, who hurried back.
Ah Sai didn't dare to delay, and while replying, he made the bed for Xiao Mingyi.
"The princess has been waiting for a long time, and the slave maid didn't have to worry much about passing the word, just to confirm that Lord Jin Can knew, and it was wasted for a while."
Xiao Mingyi nodded "um" and motioned for Ah Sai to continue.
Ah Sai stood aside with his hands down, and told Xiao Mingyi everything about going to the eldest prince first, including the reactions of the eldest prince and Ah Kite.
Xiao Mingyi listened quietly and didn't say a word, until when she heard Ah Sai say the word, when she defrauded Zhang Wei of five taels of silver, Xiao Mingyi had some expression on her face.
On the contrary, Ah Sai was a little embarrassed to say it, and he began to regret why he did such a stupid thing at that time?
She looked at Xiao Mingyi, under the dim light, Xiao Mingyi's eyebrows were as picturesque as beautiful, but there was still no expression, but Ah Sai's heart was quiet at this moment, and then reported the next things one by one.
After hearing this, Xiao Mingyi nodded and said, "I've worked hard for you, it's not too early, you can go and rest first." ”
After Ah Sai left, Xiao Mingyi took off her coat and went to bed, closing her eyes but couldn't sleep.
Her mind was full of her father's advice when she left home that day, and her mother's reluctant hand to let go, and she never thought that she would see them for the last time.
Today, when Xiao Mingwu said that her father died, she wanted to ask, and wanted to know what kind of crime her father was carrying, but she didn't dare and couldn't say more, she could only treat the person she loved the most as a stranger, or even an enemy.
The more she thought about it, the more Xiao Mingyi felt that her chest was uncomfortable, but she couldn't control herself from thinking about it, she opened her eyes and looked at the black bed, obviously sad to the extreme, but she couldn't shed a single tear.
In the dark night, she thought about and read the family one by one, I don't know how long, before she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In my sleep, it was bright red again.
I can't tell whether it is the red silk of her wedding or the red of the Xiao family's blood.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the misty daylight.
The sweat dripping on her forehead made Xiao Mingyi not want to stay in bed for a moment, she got up and picked up a handkerchief and wiped it, only to feel better.
As soon as he put down the veil, Xiao Mingyi heard a knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk", and then Ah Sai's voice rang out.
"Princess, you are awake, and the slave is waiting for you to wash."
"Come in!"
Ah Sai pushed the door in, Xiao Mingyi glanced at Ah Sai, although he had changed his clothes, but the clothes were damp, although the dew was heavy on a summer morning, it was not like this.
She didn't say anything more until Asai had finished serving her to wash up before she spoke, "Don't do this in the future." ”
Ah Sai opened his mouth to explain something, but touched Xiao Mingyi's eyes that were as calm as water, but he felt that he didn't need to explain anything, and the princess knew it.
"The slave understands." Asai respectfully complied.
After breakfast, the mother-in-law who delivered tea yesterday led people and a dozen girls over, the youngest of whom looked like he was only seven or eight years old.
The place in the house was too narrow, so the mother-in-law led a group of people to stand in a row at the door, moved a chair from the house, and waited for Xiao Mingyi to sit down, while saying: "Princess, this is Mama Zhang, a famous person in Zhangde Mansion." Xiao Mingyi responded, and said: "This palace knows, but you don't know what to call Mama?" ”
When the mother-in-law heard Xiao Mingyi inquire about herself, she was happy and said: "Is it a slave or a maid, I have never told the princess that the slave maid's surname is Mao, and everyone calls me Mrs. Mao." ”
"It's hard work, Mama Mao."
As soon as Xiao Mingyi sat down, another mother-in-law led Jiang Tao over.
As soon as Jiang Tao saw Xiao Mingyi, she ran over with small broken steps, and called her sister in a low voice, although her voice was soft, she could hear the joy from the bottom of her heart.
Jiang Tao was short, and she stood there just level with Xiao Mingyi, who was sitting.
Xiao Mingyi glanced Jiang Tao up and down, she had changed into new and clean clothes, her hair was neatly combed into a double bun, and she also wore a pair of butterfly hairpins, which looked particularly smart, and yesterday's pair of frightened eyes like a fawn also bloomed with a different kind of look.
Xiao Mingyi's phoenix-eyed eyes moved slightly, and said, "It's just right to come, you choose two maids to take care of your daily life." ”
Jiang Tao nodded, the pair of radiant and agile deer eyes turned around, looking at the row of people in front of him, and in the end, Jiang Tao chose the youngest and a good-looking girl to be her maid.
After choosing, Jiang Tao looked at Xiao Mingyi and asked for Xiao Mingyi's opinion, Xiao Mingyi smiled lightly and said, "It's good if you like it." ”
