That night, she waited until dusk, when her mother returned from her uncle's side.

She hurriedly went up to help her mother change her clothes: "What did the eldest uncle say?" There was a bit of anticipation between his eyebrows.

"We're a family after all." Mother took off her gown and changed into a silk shirt, "Your eldest uncle has already sent someone to call Zuo Junjie." The maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law at home, your aunt will also help restrain them, and will not let them talk nonsense. You can rest assured that you will go to Biyun Nunnery to live for a few days and relax. ”

Gossip is like the wind, how can it be stopped?

But the elders of the family are willing to come forward, and this matter should be over soon!

She went back to the house.

The big maids Yitong and Yuwei were sitting in the hall doing needlework, folding willows and cutting grass and a few little maids gathered around them, or helping to divide the thread, or helping to pull the thread, chattering, very lively.

When they saw her come in, they all smiled and came forward to salute her.

She looked at the familiar faces in front of her, and thought of the belly pocket that her mother threw her, and her heart fluttered.

Her mother once taught her that her husband would be separated from her for the sake of the family and the concubine, only these people around her depended on her to live, life and death were related, and honor and disgrace were shared, as long as they were used well, they were the most loyal and intimate.

She thought she was kind to them, and she couldn't think of a reason why they would betray her.

I can't sleep at night tossing and turning.

It was Yitong who was on duty at night, and he came over with his clothes and lights: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Under the light, Yitong's eyes were full of concern.

She still remembers that a few days ago she asked Yitong if she would like to go to Nanjing with her.

Yitong bowed his head shyly: "I want to stay in Huayin!" ”

She smiled and asked her, "Who is that man?" Before I go, I will make decisions for you, lest you rejoice in vain. ”

Yitong smiled embarrassedly: "Miss doesn't know, it's someone outside." My mom and dad have already agreed. I just waited for the fifth wife! ”

Could it be Yitong?

Betrayed her for the sake of a man!

She was quick to deny.

It can't be Yitong.

Yitong served in her house at the age of seven, and the two grew up together, both servants and friends, and even the key to her own treasury was handed over to Yitong for safekeeping, which was the person she trusted the most. If she can't even trust Yitong, who else can trust her?

Or is it rain?

Yuwei's family has a father who is addicted to alcohol and gambling, and even Yuwei's mother was sold for wine money, and after Yuwei was promoted to a second-class maid and had a monthly routine, she often came to her for money, and once Yuwei didn't give it, and threatened to sell Yuwei's brother.

Betrayed her for money!

She was quick to deny.

It can't be a little rain.

Yuwei will go to Nanjing with her.

If you are lucky, Yuwei will be taken in, or even carried into an aunt, and if she is the worst, she will also be a housekeeper.

How much money does it take to make Yuwei give up her original intention of going to Nanjing?

Or is it a willow? Cutting the rain?

Thinking about it, she shook her head violently.

What's wrong with her?

There is a problem with everyone.

The grass and trees are all soldiers, but I am afraid that she will drive herself crazy before she finds the person who should be in harmony with the outside.

Her strange appearance made Yitong worried: "Miss, why don't I read you a few pages of "Garden Pastoral"?" ”

"Garden Pasture" is a book written about gardening.

She was going to marry in Jiangnan, and she made a special trip to find it out of her father's study, for fear that she would make a joke if she didn't understand the layout of the Jiangnan garden.

But today, under this dim light, the things that she had been longing for yesterday became bitter.

"No need!" She turned her back to Yitong, "Hurry up and sleep." I'm going to Biun-an early tomorrow morning. ”

Yitong has never disobeyed her, and responded gently, carefully helping her put down the tent.

She opened her eyes and watched the sky dark, then got up to change her clothes and went to Biyun Nunnery with her mother.

Biyun Nunnery is fifty miles away from the city, built at the foot of Qixia Mountain, the ancient trees are shaded, the distant Xiu is surrounded, the scenery is elegant and beautiful, it is a good place to escape the summer. Master Guohui, the owner of the nunnery, is over fifty years old, kind and kind-eyed, and amiable. Hearing that she was suffering from heat stroke, he sent homemade six-flower soup, and knew that she was going to live in the nunnery for a few days, so he sent two little nuns to help them clean up, and came to see her from time to time, and talked to her about Buddhist scriptures and teachings. And the two little maids, Green Calyx and Hanyan, are cautious about being selected among everyone to stay in Anyun Nunnery and serve her, for fear that there will be some inconsiderate places.

Such a day should be leisurely and comfortable.

But she thought about it all the time, fidgeting, sleepless at night, occasionally taking a nap, all standing alone in the middle of a group of men and women, old and young, being scolded, blamed, and even stoned nightmares.

After only five or six days like this, she lost a lot of weight.

Bibo's family looked anxious and enlightened her with words.

She listened patiently at first, but then became a little annoyed: "Mom has this kung fu, why don't you help me go back and inquire about the family." ”

Unexpectedly, the Bibo family thought about it and agreed very much: "Then I'll go back quietly and take a look!" ”

She panicked a little: "If someone finds out......"

"Miss Nine rest assured." Bibo's family smiled, "I didn't go into the house, I just changed into coarse cloth clothes and walked around the city, and I came back to see if there was any gossip." ”

She praised Bibo's family for doing things properly.

The Bibo family talked to Master Guohui, and under the pretext of going back to the house to inform her mother of her illness, she left the nunnery and entered the city early in the morning.

In the evening, he came back with a smile on his face: "Miss Nine, the city is calm. He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and whispered, "I also met the Xiuzhu family by accident, and asked her to bring a message to Mrs. Five, who said that she would send someone to see you in a few days." Tell us more carefully when the time comes. ”

Xiuzhu's family is another housekeeper who is very trusted by his mother.

She was overjoyed and finally slept soundly.

Within two days, Xiuzhu's family came.

"These herbs are either used to clear away heat and eliminate heat, or to regulate qi and blood, and the usage is written on them." She smiled and handed over a blue coarse cloth wrapper, sent away the green calyx and cold smoke, and said concisely, "Grandma is sick, Zuo Gongzi is anxious, and he has been staying in our house to ask for warmth." The maid in your house suddenly turned hot and cold, and found a few doctors to see it badly, even with Yitong, Yuwei, and a few of the grass began to be uncomfortable, most of them were serious diseases, Mrs. Tai moved several of them to the grange outside the city, and also invited the Taoist priests of the Nine Immortals Temple and the monks of the Poyun Temple to do things, and listened to the words of the famous doctor Ma Boju, and sprinkled nitrate powder in the place where you lived. When I came, Mrs. Tai asked me to bring you a message, so that you can stay here for a few days in peace, and then go back when the smell of nitrate powder has dissipated. ”

She was amazed and delighted.

Surprised that the mother did not find out the reason for the fact that she came forward in person, several capable maids in her house were implicated, and the happy thing was that the eldest uncle finally restrained Zuo Junjie, and Mrs. Tai also came forward, and it was still a picture of defending her......

"Have you found out who it is?" She asked anxiously.

Specifically, Mrs. Fifth didn't say. I don't know. ”

Xiuzhu's family said, and the cold smoke came in.

"Everything was packed up, and the vegetarian dishes from the nunnery were also delivered."

The two maids didn't know why she came to Biyun Nunnery.

Xiuzhu's family immediately stopped the topic.

She asked the Bibo family to accompany the Xiuzhu family to dinner, and she sat by the window and looked at the silver-edged weeping willows outside the window.

The Bibo family sent away the Xiuzhu family, and comforted her softly: "Miss, since Mrs. Tai has interfered, we will be able to go back soon!" ”

"You don't have to coax me." She looked out the window in a daze, "I have been learning housekeeping with my mother for three or four years, and I understand some things." If they are moved to a grange outside the city, they will either not find anything and will have to be tortured; Either they cover each other and can't find out...... Whatever it is, I feel so uncomfortable in my heart......" she had tears in the corners of her eyes.

The Bibo family didn't know what to say.

After a while, he muttered: "I'll know when the Xiuzhu family comes next time!" ”

But what they didn't expect was that the Xiuzhu family never came again.

Not only did Xiuzhu's family never come, but Bibo's family was also replaced by Chen's mother.

"Mrs. Fifth has important matters to help the Bibo family do, and Miss Nine can't be left alone for a day." Mother Chen, who usually met her respectfully, saluted her with a smile, and was followed by seven or eight mothers-in-law who were five big and three coarse, "Mrs. Tai, let me serve Miss Nine for a few days temporarily!" ”

Mother Chen is the most powerful person around the eldest aunt, which is equivalent to the Bibo family to her mother, and Li's mother to her grandmother.

She felt that something was wrong.

It's not a glorious thing to come to Biyun Nunnery by yourself, the fewer people who know, the better, why did you send so many people over? Even if there is something around the mother that wants the Bibo family to go back, you can ask your grandmother to send Li's mother over, why send Chen's mother over? Let the long room meddle in the affairs of the fifth room. Moreover, the people who came with Chen's mother were all powerful, and their faces were very raw, and they were not ordinary rough mothers-in-law at first glance, and they did not often walk around the inner house.

Something happened in the family!

And the situation is very bad for her and her mother.

She quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and stared at Mother Chen condescendingly with a condescending gaze, hoping to suppress Mother Chen on her momentum: "I have the master of the nunnery here, and there are two little maids, so I won't bother Mother Chen." ”

"Miss Nine, this is not very good!" Although Chen's mother was smiling, she did not have the deference of a servant at all, "If Mrs. Tai knows, she should blame me for not doing things well." After speaking, he glanced at a horse-faced woman next to him.

Immediately, two mothers-in-law stood up to Bibo's family.

Her face changed dramatically.

"Miss Nine!" The Bibo family glanced at her, signaling not to be angry, Mother Chen's people are overwhelming, don't suffer the immediate loss, "Since there is something on the fifth wife's side, then I will go back first." He said with a pun, "Count the days, the fifth master should have received the letter from the fifth wife, you can wait for a few days with peace of mind." ”

Chen's mother didn't make a sound, and took a few steps back.

She watched as the Bibo family was pressed by the two mothers-in-law and left Biyun Nunnery.
