Chapter Seventy-Three: Tanabata

"The lord of this county doesn't want you to die, let alone repay you by being a cow or a horse in the next life."

Really.

Hanlu closed her eyes and eased the jerky pain in her eyes that was stung by sweat, but her heart was strangely steady.

Still grabbing the ground with his head, Han Lu slowly spoke, "The slave and maid thanked the county lord for his grace of not killing on behalf of the whole family. In the future, the life of the slave and maid will be the county lord's, and the county lord has something, but please command, the slave and the maid will never give up. ”

"Good!"

A hand as white as jade stretched out in front of Han Lu's eyes, "Get up and speak." ”

Looking at the slender five fingers and the hand with a purple jade bracelet on his wrist, Han Lu's eyes were obscure, and he slowly became clear.

There is no choice and no way out, the girl in front of her is no longer an ignorant child trapped in the boudoir by his wife, but a young beast who finds that his life is dying and awakens the power of revenge, stretching out his claws to see blood, the ridiculous lady still doesn't know anything, and thinks everything is in the palm of her hand.

So, madam, no wonder the slave maid.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hanlu took Lieyun's hand.

After kneeling for a long time, he stood up at this time, and Han Lu's legs were still shaking uncontrollably.

Seeing Lie Yun's eyes, Mo Ju reluctantly moved the square stool, and threw it behind Han Lu with a "bang".

Han Lu was frightened, turned around and saw the stool, reluctantly smiled at Mo Ju, said to Lie Yun, "Slave Xie Jun main shirt", and sat down half of his body.

"You have been in Cui's Mansion for so many years, do you think that the relationship between your uncle and aunt is deep?" Glaring at Mo Ju helplessly, Lieyun asked Hanlu for words.

Han Lu was surprised in his heart, he thought that Lieyun would treat him in the way of others, and he also prepared poison for himself to secretly take it for his wife, but he didn't expect to ask about such a secret thing as the relationship between the adult and the lady.

What she thought was just for a moment, Han Lu hurriedly replied, "The slave maid is the Cui Mansion who advanced six years ago, and she was just ten years old at the time, Akiba," Han Lu paused for a moment, "Sister Akiba was thirteen at that time, and she had not yet become Madame's confidant, and she only served as a second-class maid in Rendeok Temple." Because the slave maid had no money to bribe the steward, she was sent to the clean room, followed Mrs. Wu to brush the bucket, and did the dirtiest, most tiring, least money, and most bullied work in the house. ”

Speaking of this, Han Lu's words brought out a hint of hatred.

Lie Yun saw it in his eyes, this world is like this, the weak eat the strong, everyone chases fame and fortune, even if Cui Mansion is a small place, he can't escape the rules of heaven and earth, and he can't break free from the sinister hearts of people. Therefore, after suffering enough cold dew, you have to work hard to climb up.

"Two years have passed like this, until one time, Sister Akiba passed by the clean room, and saw me struggling to carry a few buckets there, and she didn't think it was dirty enough to come up and help me, and talked to me for a while. Within a few days, I was transferred to Rentokuin to be a sprinkler girl, and I saw Sister Akiba again, only to know that after Sister Akiba knew that I was a fellow villager with her, she tried every means to get me out of that dirty place. ”

"Since then, we have been working in the same hospital, and Sister Akiba has taken care of me in every way. is a meticulous and stable person, and Sister Akiba finally got Mrs. Qingyan and became the first-class maid of Rende Temple, and became Mrs. Madame's confidant. Among the people in the entire Rende Temple, except for Madame Zhou's mother, Sister Akiba is the most authoritative to speak, I watched it from a distance at that time, and I felt that Sister Akiba was really beautiful, and I was very envious. Sister Akiba didn't forget me, and after a month, she promoted me to a second-class maid, but I was still envious in my heart, and slowly, this envy changed, and it became jealousy in my heart, so that later I was obsessed with my mind and made that kind of ......"

Hanlu stopped suddenly, as if she had been awakened, how could she say so much nonsense!

Secretly looking at Lieyun, seeing that Lieyun had no annoyance on his face, Hanlu rolled his throat and continued.

"In the past four years of entering Rende Academy, I first did a sprinkle sweeping girl, and then slowly went to Mrs. to wait, looking at the old man and Mrs., has been playing the piano and singing, especially later added a little son, the adult is even more Mrs. in his heart, as long as he is not busy with official business, he will definitely accompany his wife to dinner in the morning and evening. Even the old lady and the old lady are sometimes a little dissatisfied with the lady, and the adults are also trying to defend it. ”

"According to you, there should be a deep relationship between my uncle and my aunt." Lie Yun groaned, but he was puzzled in his heart, so why did Cheng Jinsi say that Cui Jing had been thinking about his mother in his heart, and his mother wanted to snatch Cui Jing away?

said that his mother wanted to snatch Cui Jing, but Lieyun never believed it. With the dignity of a princess and the supreme appearance and talent, the mother was sought after by thousands of noble sons, but the mother liked the father who was full of horses, and after marriage, she and her father were even more affectionate, and no one could get involved in it.

"Hanlu, think about it again, has anything unusual happened in the middle? Have my uncle and aunt ever quarreled? Or, have you ever heard of your uncle knowing other women outside? “

Han Lu's eyes widened, what did the county lord mean by this? Could it be that the county lord is suspicious of ......?

Not daring to think about it any more, Hanlu thought hard as Lieyun had instructed.

The sky outside the house has turned ink, and the atmosphere inside the house is also like ink, very dull.

"That's right!"

An exclamation was like lightning, piercing the ink.

Han Lu looked at Lie Yun, "County Lord, I remember, it was the Qixi Festival three years ago......"

The former sunshine, for men and women do not pay much attention to the defense, women do not need to wear hats or fences when they go out, and men go in and out of restaurants and shops will not cause criticism, if men meet their favorite women, they will come forward to talk, and women vice versa.

And by the time of the last imperial concubine, the status of women had been unprecedentedly improved, and Jiao'e Niang did not know how many people went to the Jinluan Palace. Later, yin and yang competed, causing chaos in the government and politics, and the country ended up in a country.

Therefore, Emperor Yongfeng destroyed the sun and established a great proclamation, re-established the national law, and the men and women can no longer be as casual as the previous dynasty, the barriers are strict, and the decree is that the harem will never interfere in politics, and women will never be allowed to enter the court as officials.

However, with the reign of the new emperors of the past dynasties, Daxuan and other countries are becoming more and more interconnected, although men and women still abide by the dogma and not be presumptuous, but the annual Shangyuan Festival and Qixi Festival are a good day for unmarried teenagers and girls to get out of the cage.

Three years ago, during the Qixi Festival, there was no longer anything special for Cheng Jinsi and Cui Jing, the old husband and wife, only Cheng Jinsi recalled that he fell in love with Cui Jing at first sight at the Lantern Festival and would show a sweet smile.

But the Qixi Festival had a great attraction for Cui Wanning, who was only seven years old at the time and only understood a little about men and women.

Cheng Jin Siyang couldn't help her daughter from playing tricks, so she handed Cui Yanqi to the nurse after dinner, sued Cui Jing, and took Cui Wanning's mother and daughter out to see the lanterns and Qiaoguo.
