"Say, how did you hook up with Lord?"

On the rosewood carved magpie on the plum group stool, the second grandmother sat obliquely with a white lotus pot in her hand, her eyes lowered and looked at the tea, the white sable hair was made of sable hair and a green silk, and the sideburns were swayed down step by step, which was worthy of the white and tender ear beads.

Ruri didn't look up, knowing that her fingers covered in Kodan were picking at the flowers on the lamp. The three girls of the He family love to pick daffodils when they are angry, they used to pick flowers, but after marriage, they changed to painting flowers on the utensils, because the third girl who was the second grandmother of the prayer family was always angry, and now all the cups she used were painted with daffodils.

Hongyu, who was standing next to her, kicked Liuli in the back of the waist: "Grandma asked you!" ”

Liuli was in pain, and fell to the ground without steady, a small face rose due to pain, and her painting-like facial features were exposed. Grandma Qi Er glanced at her, her cheeks were swollen, her nails stopped moving, and she smashed a fine white porcelain cup from an official kiln into her face: "Cheap hooves!" Cheap hooves! Drag me out and fight me to death! ”

Liuli was dragged out as a cheap hoof, and a bench had been set up in the yard, and soon a mother-in-law brought a wooden stick and rope to cut her firmly and tie her to the stool.

Ruri struggled: "I haven't done anything like that!" I didn't! ”

Of course not. Although she is actually the half-sister of Qi Er's grandmother, when she came to Qi's house as the dowry of Qi Er's grandmother He Yuhua, where did she get so bold? As long as she can give her a breath of fresh air every day, she is already satisfied.

He Xiangwei as the eldest son of Shangshufu, when he was young, he was also a young man, good at poetry, often amorous, when Mrs. Yu was pregnant with her third child, she met Xu Niang who sold calligraphy and paintings for her father outside Beijing, and inadvertently planted a blue field. Cian also remembered the old love, rented a small courtyard to let Xu Niang's mother and daughter settle down, and wanted to leave, but Xu Niang suddenly vomited blood, it turned out that Xu Niang knew that she was infected with a vicious disease, but this time she came to be a lonely.

Soon after, Xu Niang really died, and He Lingwei hesitated and wanted Liuli to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. Mrs. Yu has a family and children, and she has a lot of prestige in the house, and she also took the initiative to take a concubine for him. The He family has been scholarly for generations, and the old lady He has always been persistent in character, and she was also furious, saying that she couldn't afford to lose this face.

The matter froze for a while.

However, it didn't take long, soon the old lady got sick because of the cold, the decoction was useless, everyone was miserable, but a senior monk of the White Horse Temple outside Beijing turned into a mansion, the Tao is evil, just gather all the children and grandchildren together to recite the three-day Diamond Sutra and it will be fine.

It was easy to recite the scriptures, but after three days, there was no improvement. The monk counted and asked if all the children and grandchildren had arrived? There is also a glass outside the mansion.

The old lady immediately ordered it to be brought, and a room of people sang for another three days. On the morning of the fourth day, the old lady went down to the ground and cut the peony flowers in the garden.

In this way, it is not good to drive people out again, and you have to take into account Mrs. Yu's face when you recognize her. It was the fourth lady Nie who had an idea and asked Liuli to sign the deed of sale and become the maid ring in the house. There was no formal visit to the left and right, and the people didn't know much, so it was not the official master, but it was also considered to have given her a way to live, so that there would be no rebellion, and it would not be embarrassing to the main house.

The old lady sang praise, and Yu had to nod. Since then, Liuli has called her father a master, and her sister a miss. However, the old lady always felt that the evil that was the one when she was sick last time was not Xu Niang? Therefore, when I saw Liuli, I felt a headache and chest tightness, and my whole body was uncomfortable. The third girl, Yuhua, was considerate and filial, and in order to relieve her grandmother's upset, she ordered Liuli as a dowry when she got married, and wanted to suppress the majesty and domineering of the General's Mansion, and she would definitely be able to suppress this demon.

As a "demon", Liuli is still doing what Yahuan should do in the General's Mansion. Because she drowned a few years ago, she fell into liver and lung insufficiency, was weak and cold, and coughed incessantly in autumn, Yuhua didn't let her get close. Today, when I went to the palace of the Lindu envoy as a guest, I told her to stay and brush the green jade cup in the study.

It was in the study that I accidentally met Qi Yunjing resting there, and I was busy withdrawing, and I had already collided with Hongyu.

Some things are wrong to explain, and it is wrong not to explain. If you don't exist properly, you can't even breathe.

Liuli gritted her teeth and refused to cry half a sentence when she died. I don't know how many sticks there are, and my back is numb, and I just feel that my body is swinging involuntarily with the attack of the stick. There was also sweet blood in her mouth, gushing out of her throat, and she was already unable to swallow.

The concubine has no status, and she has no status even more than the concubine. But it's not her fault. If given a choice, who would choose to be an illegitimate daughter? Could it be that just because she can't choose, she doesn't even have the right to live?

Grandma Qi Er leaned against the window, looking at this side with disgust, half of her face covered with a silver satin handkerchief embroidered with daffodils, how noble and cold.

If there is an afterlife, if she Xu Liuli can still open her eyes, she will live a more noble life than her! She was going to watch them roll down from the high couch with her eyes, and see them kill each other, prostrate at her feet!

…… But she knew that all this was nothing more than a dream of luxury, for she was nothing more than a lowly slave who had signed a deed of sale, and was dying, or rather, dead.

She saw herself floating, the fleshy body on the bench was motionless, and the second grandmother sent Hongyu to inspect it, Hongyu pinched her nose and probed her snort, paused slightly, and said to the house: "Dead!" ”

Grandma Qi's eyes flashed slightly, she stood in the window for a moment, raised the silk, and lowered the curtain: "If it's dead, it's dead, drag it and bury it!" ”

A gust of wind blew the glass away, blowing far away, blowing out of the vast and magnificent General's Mansion, all the way to the sky, and the mountains and rivers beside her passed through like a shuttle, like countless fallen leaves, forcing her to close her eyes.

When the wind stopped, she opened her eyes again, and she was crooked in a black car, as if she had just woken up, and her vision was still a little blurred.

It was early in the morning, the mist drifted into the car through the window, and a hand wearing a silver ring suddenly lifted the curtain and hugged her down. She snorted and stood firm, looking up to see the man in front of her, who was wearing a soap-colored scarf, a robe of the same color, and a beard on his mouth.

Seeing this person clearly, she couldn't help but gasp, and then looked at herself, her body was only two or three feet long, her hand touched her head and combed a double bun, and she was wearing a set of apricot yellow satin clothes and pants that her mother sewn for her at the end, and there were dark water chestnut flowers on the satin, which was the one sent by He Xiangyi after arriving in Beijing. The shoes are also made of the same satin, with beige velvet flowers on the toe.

She swallowed, trying to soothe her heart, which was already beating to her throat. Isn't this car, this person, this street, this tall mansion, and this vermilion lacquered corner gate exactly what I saw when I got off the bus at Hefu five years ago? Chen Wu, who carried him down, wasn't it the He family who was ordered to take her to the house? How did she come back and become as small as she was eight years ago!

"Girl, this is Hefu." Chen Wu has been by the old lady's side for many years, and his words are cautious.

Even the dialogue is word for word. Liuli stood still and didn't move, secretly pinching her arm, it hurts! Not a dream. In order to hide his expression, he had to raise his head, squint and pretend to look at the glazed tiles on the gatehouse: "What year is this year?" What day is it? ”

Chen Wu paused, "This year is the year of Gengshu, and today is the seventh day of the first month of October. After answering, he urged: "Girl, let's go in quickly, the master is in a hurry." Chen Wu is used to calling Mrs. He the master, except for the previous sentence, this scene is not bad at all from that day.

Ruri felt her heart not only jump out of her throat, but also between her throat and chest. It's so real! Judging by all the sights, touches, and hearings, she was sure that it was not a dream. Her memory will not deceive her, she was nine years old in the year of Gengshu, and on the seventh day of October, that was when she officially entered Hefu, and since then she has begun the days of this life of hardship. God didn't send her to the underworld, but let her go back to eight years ago, what is this going to do!
