"The aunt is angry, and the aunt will do it. Ye Ziyi looked frightened and hurriedly lowered her head in response.

"Well, even if you still know something, the gold will be delivered in a few days, you should take care of it at the steward first, don't spoil your sister's good deeds!" The fat woman glanced at Ye Ziyi, snorted heavily, turned around and left, and Jing Ying had a chance to come up.

"Auntie, you have to remember your mother's words, don't spoil my big things. Jing Ying glanced at Ye Ziyi and muttered with a pout. "This look of dying or not alive really deserves to be killed!"

Watching Jing Ying's mother and daughter leave coldly, Ye Ziyi said to the coachman. "Let's go. ”

The ox cart moved slowly and slowly turned into the lane, where Jing Ying's mother and daughter watched Ye Ziyi's ox cart enter the lane, and left with a reluctant face after a while.

Early in the morning, the clouds shrouded the sky of Fengcheng, and it seemed that it was going to rain, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the streets of Xicheng, and the people on the streets were afraid of getting drenched in the rain late, and their footsteps were in a hurry.

Jing Ying, who was dressed up, sat in the wooden house, craned her neck and kept looking out, with an anxious look on her face.

This is a very small courtyard, in the corner near the slums in the west of the city, the original courtyard of the Jing family was sold by Jing Ying, and now the Jing family is crowded in the small courtyard of these five wooden houses, and even the slaves are only one man and one woman.

"Surnamed Jing, you don't want to go out to make a living! Do you want to eat and drink for nothing at the old lady's place? Oh, I know, are you still thinking about that sassy fox? You are endless! useless thing!" Early in the morning, the shrill shouts of the fat woman outside came, and Jing Ying frowned when she heard it, today is her happy day, why is her mother so blind?

"You just sold the goods, you, how can you sell Wen Niang? She is still pregnant with a child! is the descendant of my Jing family!" Jing Qi's sad and helpless voice sounded, and Jing Ying's face became even worse when he heard it.

"What, you're still distressed? I'll tell you Jing Fengzhe, when A-Ying drives Jing Yu out of the door and becomes the wife of the son, you will get the old lady out of the house! You old fool! If it weren't for you, ...... you."

"Okay! What are you arguing about!" Jing Ying angrily kicked open the door and pointed at her parents who were arguing in the courtyard. "Today is the day I leave the cabinet, early in the morning, do you want to touch my moldy head? I told you! I don't know what to do, I don't care about any of you! When the time comes, you will all be driven out!"

"You!" Jing Qi looked at his daughter who was staring at him with raised eyebrows, and then at his wife who was standing next to him, gritted his teeth, and shook his finger at the two of them and said in a wailing voice. "Yes, you, you are really good! Now that you have lost all your family business, you still want to be greedy for the wealth of Ah Yu! Really! What a shame! The family is unfortunate! The family is unlucky!"

"Hmph! If you hadn't let that Jing Yu see Childe, I would have been Mrs. Childe, why should I suffer such a sin with you? Auntie has enjoyed all these years of wealth in vain, I should have paid me back a long time ago, I haven't calculated interest with her!!" Jing Ying said, squinting her eyes. "You old horseman, if you talk nonsense and spoil my good deeds, I will have your good fruit to eat!"

"Hmph! Don't get out of here! Don't make bad luck for A-Ying! If you can't make money, don't come back! It's best to starve to death outside!" The fat woman glared at the triangle eyes, snorted heavily, pouted and turned her head to meet Jing Ying, and said with a smile. "A-Ying, today is a good day for you, don't be angry, don't be angry, go in and wait. ”

"Why are you so ignorant? The big day still provokes me to be so idle!" Jing Ying glared at her father fiercely, and the fat woman coaxed her into the house.

As the mother and daughter entered the house, the courtyard was quiet all of a sudden, Jing Qi looked at the ragged clothes on his body, the empty and dilapidated small courtyard, and then looked at the two house slaves who couldn't sell them because of their frailty, shrunk in the wooden house and shivered, and for a while sadness came from it, he patted his thighs and wailed. "Wronged!

"Crying and mourning, get out! Get out!" The fat woman opened the door suddenly, stood at the door with her waist crossed, and smashed the broken pottery bowl in her hand next to Jing Qi's feet, Jing Qi was shocked, and hurriedly hid to the side, shrunk her neck and peeked at her, seeing Jing Qi's appearance, the fat woman was even more angry, picked up the broom by the wall and scolded. "An old thing that doesn't work! Do you dare to rely on it and not leave?

When Jing Qi saw the broom, his legs trembled, and as soon as the fat woman walked down the stone steps, Jing Qi took two steps back in horror and ran out of the gate with his head in his hands.

drove away Jing Qi, and the mother and daughter waited until the near dawn before looking forward to the ox cart that came to pick up Jing Ying.

Hearing that the car of Gongzi's Mansion was coming, Jing Ying was so happy that she rushed out of the gate with her skirt, but she didn't want to, it was just an ordinary car, with neither the logo of Gongzi's Mansion nor the colorful satin decoration, and it didn't look like it was half a grand appearance at all, not like she was here to pick up relatives, but like transporting slaves and maids.

The ox cart stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and the coachman didn't get out of the car, glanced at Jing Ying's mother and daughter, and shouted lazily with his chin raised. "Which one is the Jing girl?"

"This is, this is the daughter of the Jing family. Seeing that Jing Ying was unhappy, the fat woman hurriedly stepped forward and replied with a flattering smile.

"Hmm. The coachman snorted and said impatiently. "What are you doing? Come on!"

Jing Ying was angry, her face darkened when she heard the words, she was about to have a seizure, she felt her mother stabbing her behind her, and when she turned around and saw her mother making eye contact with her, Jing Ying reluctantly got into the car.

The ox cart drove slowly through the street, and it was nearly noon when he entered the Gongzi's mansion, Jing Ying was so hungry that she didn't take a look at the appearance of this mansion, but she called the steward to give a lecture.

knelt on the ground and saluted, Jing Ying didn't dare to gasp and lay on the ground, just waiting for the steward who was sitting high and drinking tea to speak.

"Since you are here, you will know the rules of this house, Jing, from today on, you will live in the Orchid Courtyard, if you have nothing to do, don't go out and walk around, when the son comes back, I will arrange for you to meet the son." The steward said, put down the tea bowl and said loudly. "Ah Chi! Ah Yi!"

With this call, two five big and three thick maids walked in with their heads bowed outside, these two, each with a figure the size of Jing Ying, was like two big men.

The steward pointed to Jing Ying, who was lying on the ground, and said to the two women. "This is Jing Ji, you have to serve her well, don't let her break in the house, Jing Ji will live in the future, you will take care of it." ”

The two girls should be, Jing Ying also thanked the steward, and when she looked back and saw the two girls, she was immediately stunned.

Jing Ying has also seen the servant girl of a rich and noble family, but this kind of dignity, this kind of physique has never been seen, where is this servant who serves people? It is clearly a reckless man who kills pigs!

Jing Ying's face turned white, and she hurriedly kowtowed to the steward. "My lord, the little girl is the descendant of the Jing family, and she was originally from a rich and noble family, these two maids are really too strong, please ...... adults"

"Huh?" the steward glanced up at Jing Ying and sneered. "The Jing clan has long since declined, isn't the sister-in-law going to put on a show in the prince's mansion?"

"Don't dare. Jing Ying was so frightened that she quickly changed her words and said hurriedly. "The adults are right, it's the little girl who is abrupt. ”

"Well, let's go down. The steward lazily waved his hand, which was regarded as sending Jing Ying away.

"Yes. Jing Ying didn't dare to say more, got up and bent over, and retreated with the two five big and three thick servants.

The steward watched Jing Ying leave coldly, stood up and walked to the tent and bowed. "Madam, the Jing family has been properly settled, I don't know what Madame is going to do?"

"Shut her up in the house, so that she can wait, don't shorten her food and drink, no one is allowed to talk to her, she wants to make trouble, beat her until she is afraid, this woman, she should have a lesson, there is nothing to do, wait for the son to come back and deal with it." Ye Ziyi walked out from behind the tent and bent down towards the steward. "There's Uncle Lao Zhong. ”

"Madame is gracious. If the lady wants to travel far away, she must bring her home guard, if there is any case, she really can't afford it. Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, said and bowed to Ye Ziyi again.

Ye Ziyi dared to accept his salute again, so he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and bent down to return the salute. "Uncle Lao Zhong is worried, I will be careful. It's just that Uncle Zhong must remember that Gongzi's 'Jing Ji' is that person, and I, not Madame, are Ye Ji. ”

"Yes. Command here, ma'am, the matter of the guard......"

"But it's up to Uncle Zhong to call the shots. Ye Ziyi bowed slightly, strode out of the door, and left the small courtyard of the steward as if she had fled.

......

The clear moonlight spread over the calm waters, and in the darkness of the night, four small boats slowly rowed across the water, and by the moonlight they stopped in front of a river bank with sparse yellow reeds.

The wind lamps in the bow swayed in the cold wind, illuminating only a small stretch of gravel-covered waterfront, and the four boats came to a halt under the penny, and some jumped out of the boat and tied a cable to a large boulder, while the two boats in the middle stretched out two planks and landed firmly on the riverbank.

In the faint light, three figures came out of the low woods on the bank of the river, the first one was a little shorter, wearing a cloak and a hood covering most of his face, and he couldn't see clearly at all, and when he walked to the side of the boat, the man nodded to the boat, and the companion spoke. "Gone. ”

The people on the boat did not answer, and after a while, someone escorted three thin men with black cloth bags on their heads to get off the boat, and several people were silent all the way, and went straight into a square black tent more than one person high in the deep forest and stopped.

The man in the cloak pointed to one of the men with his head covered, and with a wave of his sleeve, he pointed to the tent, and the attendants understood and escorted the man in.

For the remaining two, someone took a medicine bowl and poured it on them, and when the two fell soft, they were dragged down and thrown into the small tent next to them.

"Madam, eldest brother, they should go to Fencheng. In the darkness, Ah Si's low voice sounded, the man in the cloak took off his hood, and the faint moonlight from the forest hit her face, and it was Ye Ziyi.

"Brother Chu, I'm still relieved, I hope it can be done before he enters Yecheng. Ye Ziyi sighed and said to Ah Si. "You are tired, go and rest. ”

"There are two months to go, and Madame need not worry. ”

"Well, I know, you go. Ye Ziyi said, turning around with tired eyes and looking at the huge tent that almost dissolved into the darkness.
