Chapter 40: Jealousy
"What's the matter with Mei Xiang?"
With a gentle and weak voice, a pale little face suddenly appeared in front of him. Su Mengyao sat up slowly, her face revealing a hint of worry.
Mei Xiang has been with her for a few years, and it is rare to have such a panicked and unclear understanding of the rules. Today, what's wrong with her? Su Mengyao suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Miss, Miss......"
Mei Xiang looked at Su Mengyao, and stopped talking.
On the road just now, Mei Xiang was still hesitating whether to tell Miss about this matter? Don't tell Miss, she always feels that she has already hidden it from Miss last time, and it is not good to hide it from Miss again this time. Tell Miss, she is worried that Miss has too much speculation because of her deep affection for the eldest young master.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" A faint smile suddenly appeared on Su Mengyao's face, and she grabbed Mei Xiang's arm. Although she was anxious, she still had to pretend to be casual to relieve the panic in her heart, and by the way, she would relax Mei Xiang.
"That~ Miss! If I do, you'll have to promise me not to worry! Mei Xiang glanced at Su Mengyao and said with an embarrassed expression.
If it's something else, that's fine, as long as it's about the eldest young master, the young lady always cares about it, especially worried that the eldest young master will have other women outside.
Of course, this is not to say that the eldest young master is merry by nature and likes to mess with flowers and grass outside. On the contrary, the eldest young master is a person who is clean and arrogant like the "White Lotus", and Mei Xiang also knows that it seems a little inappropriate to use the word "White Lotus" to describe the eldest young master, but she has not read the book for a few days and does not know how to describe the purity of the eldest young master. In short, it is not the eldest young master who provokes others, but others who provoke the eldest young master. Originally, she didn't care about Mei Xiang's affairs, she was just worried about Miss and felt sorry for Miss!
Listening to Mei Xiang's words, Su Mengyao's smile suddenly froze on her face, and then nodded. At this time, she was basically sure that what Mei Xiang was going to say next seemed to be related to herself, and possibly, possibly, it might also be related to her cousin!
"Miss! Slave maid, slave maid just saw Miss Gu hurriedly run to the eldest young master's room! Mei Xiang's voice was so low that she almost couldn't hear it, but Su Mengyao heard it really well.
"You...... You must be mistaken, Mei Xiang? Su Mengyao's delicate little face twitched a little, and she quickly regained her peace, and she squeezed out a faint smile very reluctantly.
She doesn't believe it's true, and she doesn't want to believe it's true! This must not be true, my cousin has always disliked women going to his room. I have lived in Longfu for more than ten years, and I have never heard of a woman, even a maid who dares to go to her cousin's room. Therefore, the servants who served my cousin were all men.
However, my cousin has such a quirk, which is a good thing for Su Mengyao, at least it can break the thoughts of those maids who are scheming and want to climb into her cousin's bed.
In Su Mengyao's eyes, her cousin Long Liangfei is an arrogant, indifferent, handsome and handsome ascetic "male god", even if women all over the world throw their arms to him, he doesn't care about it, and he won't take a second look, this is just one of them.
The second is that Su Mengyao is very confident in herself, whether it is those women in the house or outside the house, in terms of appearance, talent, and family background, which one can compare with herself? She always thought that in this world, only she was worthy of her cousin, and she and her cousin were a match made in heaven!
But I don't know why, when Su Mengyao heard that the woman who went to her cousin's room was Gu Ling'er, her heart suddenly became apprehensive and uneasy, and this feeling was felt when she saw Gu Ling'er for the first time. She was scared, she couldn't understand why her self-confidence had been lost in front of this peasant girl.
Now, she was looking forward to, expecting Mei Xiang to tell her that she was wrong. In the next second, she knew she was wrong.
Seeing that Miss didn't believe herself, Mei Xiang hurriedly explained, "Miss, the slave is not mistaken!" She just asked Sister Cui'er and Sister Qinglan of 'Xiwei Courtyard' for directions! ”
"And she...... Then she must have something to do, so she went to find her cousin! Maybe...... Maybe it's Chen'er's business, but she's Chen'er's doctor! Su Mengyao let go of her arm with a lost face, and a cold tear slowly slipped on her fair little face, what came out of her mouth, I'm afraid even she didn't believe it, right?
Miss's appearance, Mei Xiang was really distressed when she saw it, and finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Miss, don't deceive yourself anymore!" The slave maid just inquired, and this hour is the time when the third young master sleeps! And they ...... It's not the first time for them! ”
Before she could finish speaking, Mei Xiang turned her head to the side, she didn't want the young lady to see the eyes that she had deceived her.
Su Mengyao suddenly woke up as if in a dream, and clenched Mei Xiang's arm tightly, "What do you mean?" Mei Xiang, tell me quickly, what do you mean? ”
Su Mengyao almost yelled, just now she was trying to convince herself to exonerate her, but she never expected that she would ...... with her cousin
"Miss! I'm sorry, I thought Miss Gu was a simple and kind girl, who knew her...... She actually seduced the eldest young master behind your back! Speaking of this, Mei Xiang suddenly cried, "Two days ago, I saw her ...... with the eldest young master in the garden."
Mei Xiang told Su Mengyao about the things she had hidden before, and Su Mengyao's fair little face instantly became hideous, her fists clenched tightly, and she didn't even feel the slightest feeling when her nails pierced deep into her flesh.
A cold tear slipped out of Su Mengyao's eyes, and a weird smile rose on the corner of her mouth.
It seems that he really underestimated that Gu Ling'er! I thought she was a noble woman, unlike other peasant girls who were greedy for money, who wanted to cling to the Long family to be the third young grandmother, but it turned out that she had this mind, no wonder she would withdraw from the marriage? It turns out that she has taken a fancy to her cousin, hehe~ She really has a vision and a real means!
"Miss, you ...... Are you alright? Su Mengyao's indifferent expression made Mei Xiang a little worried.
In other words, if it was Miss's previous temperament, she would definitely not be so calm, and she didn't have too much emotion except for two tears. This is not quite like Miss, she is afraid that she will be too sad, and said distressedly: "Miss, if you are uncomfortable, cry out loud, maybe cry out, your heart will be more comfortable!" ”
Listening to Mei Xiang's thoughtful words, Su Mengyao not only did not cry, but squeezed out a smile on her face, and said seriously: "Why should I cry?" What do I have to cry about? Who am I crying to? ”
"Miss, or let's go find Madame! Madame loves Miss the most, she will definitely make decisions for Miss! Mei Xiang grabbed Su Mengyao's arm, she was worried that Miss wouldn't be able to think of something stupid for a while, so she thought that at this time, maybe only Mrs. could help Miss.
"Don't go!" Su Mengyao's eyes suddenly flashed, and she shot out a fierce light, and said sharply at Mei Xiang.
Chapter 41: Let's solve this little matter by ourselves
"Little ~ sister! Why are you bothered? Mei Xiang pouted and looked at Su Mengyao with a puzzled expression.
She didn't understand why Miss didn't let her go to Madame, you must know that in this Dragon Mansion, Madame loves Mademoiselle the most!
Su Mengyao naturally knows what Mei Xiang means, she has been with her for many years, and she has always been loyal to herself, and she has no second heart! She also knows that no matter what Mei Xiang does, it is for her own good, she feels sorry for herself, and she can't see that she has been wronged at all.
She also knew that if only her aunt and Mei Xiang were sincere to her in the big Dragon Mansion, she would go to her aunt, and her aunt would definitely make decisions for her. But in this way, she will despise herself, thinking that she can't even grasp a man's heart as a woman?
Even if my aunt didn't think so, I couldn't go to her. After all, she is a girl, girls are ashamed, and girls have to be reserved. What's more, my father is still an official of the imperial court in Kyoto, and since he is the eldest lady of the Su family, he can't be embarrassed!
Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that I can go to my aunt once, I can go to my aunt twice, I can't go to my aunt three or four times, every time, right? My aunt can help me for a while, but I can't help me for a lifetime! If you want to get her cousin's heart, Su Mengyao thinks that she has to rely on herself, and it won't work by relying on others!
Thinking of this, Su Mengyao grabbed Mei Xiang's little hand, the corners of her mouth curved, and said confidently: "You don't need to go to your aunt first, let's solve this little matter ourselves!" ”
Hearing what Miss said, Mei Xiang suddenly became happy, "Miss, do you have an idea?" ”
"Listen to me, Mei Xiang! You leave the house now, and then ......" Su Mengyao said and approached Mei Xiang's ear and whispered a few words.
Higashi-in Temple
"What do you say? The female doctor actually walked out of Fei'er's room? The woman, dressed in a gorgeous purple and gold thread embroidered robe, stared at the maidservant standing beside her, who was about thirty years old and slightly plump, and asked in surprise.
The servant girl nodded, "Madame!" ”
"How is this possible? Doesn't Fei'er dislike having women coming in and out of his room at will? ”
Tian Xue frowned, as if she had heard the strangest thing in the world. However, what kind of person her own son is, Tian Xue knows best.
Fei'er has had quirks since she was a child, she doesn't like women very much, and she always keeps her distance from women. Except for Meng Yao, Fei'er has hardly had contact with any woman, but as she gets older, the contact between Fei'er and Meng Yao has become less and less, and even when she is sick this time, he is reluctant to see her in order to avoid suspicion.
If someone else said this, Tian Xue would not only not believe it, but would also suspect that she was a person with ill intentions and telling right and wrong. However, it was Zhaoning who said this, and Tian Xue was convinced.
Zhaoning was with Tian Xue in the year she got married, and she had been with her for twenty-three years. Facts have proved that Tian Xue's vision is indeed very accurate, and Zhaoning did not disappoint her.
"The slave doesn't know! Just look at the girl in a hurry when she leaves, as if she has been wronged by something! Zhao Ning raised his head slightly and said in a low voice.
She has a gentle and kind temperament, and she is often a maverick and indifferent posture on weekdays, even if the master asks, she asks and answers, without saying much. It's just that today, she did see the girl's embarrassment, so she said a word for her, but before her words fell, she was "slapped in the face" by her wife.
"What can she be wronged by? It's just a lowly peasant girl, even if she is wronged, it's her blessing! Tian Xue glanced at Zhao Ning, looked disdainful, and said disapprovingly.
Zhao Ning immediately realized that he had annoyed Mrs. by saying too much, so he immediately lowered his head and said in a suffrage: "It's Madame!" ”
Zhao Ning understood what Mrs. meant, she was born into a famous family and was a young lady from a wealthy family, and then she married the overlord of Qingfeng Town, and she was the wife of the family. has a very strong family relationship in her heart, she naturally looks down on peasant girls, and she also looks down on maids like herself. She thought that whatever her son did to the girl, it was no big deal.
"Zhaoning!" Tian Xue's eyes suddenly flashed, and a sharp light shot out.
"Madame!" Zhao Ning bowed and replied respectfully.
Tian Xue raised her eyebrows and said sharply: "Tell the female doctor for me, let her do her duty!" Don't think about anything else, you want to enter my Long's house! Hmph~ Dreaming! ”
"Yes, ma'am!"
The sun retracted its last rays, and night slowly fell.
It took an hour and a half to walk from Qingfeng Town to the house, and when she reached the gate, Gu Ling'er was already exhausted, she really couldn't walk, she didn't even have the strength to enter the gate, and slowly leaned against the dilapidated wooden door panting.
I don't know why, today, Long Tianchen was very noisy, either pestering Gu Ling'er to tell him stories, or pestering Gu Ling'er to accompany him to play games, and at the end of the day, Gu Ling'er barely took a break. That's it, you have to walk a hundred miles of mountain roads......
If the situation of this family can be slightly better, Gu's mother is not so cowardly, her legs are not injured, Gu's father's legs are not paralyzed, and Gu Jin is a little older, Gu Ling'er promises that she will definitely leave this family, and at the same time, she will leave the Long family and go to a place where she wants to live her own life.
Or open a clinic to earn some trivial money to make ends meet, and if you meet a rich person, you can charge some more honorarium; If you meet the poor, you can also not receive a gratuity. Just do whatever you want and have fun!
Or find a place near the mountains and rivers, build a thatched hut, plant some precious herbs, wait until the herbs grow and dry, and take them to the market or large pharmacy to sell, in exchange for some silver taels, which is not bad.
"The mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin. The moss marks are green, and the grass is green. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case. Nanyang Zhuge Lu, West Shuzi Cloud Pavilion. Confucius: What's ugly? ”
The corners of Gu Ling'er's mouth raised a faint smile, the world is so big, if you can really have a "burrowed room" like Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty, it is enough.
Only now, even a "burrow"
For myself, it's also a luxury, that's it, that's it! Gu Ling'er shook her head helplessly, dragged her body that was about to fall apart and was glued to it, and slowly stepped into the door with her heavy feet that were about to break off her shoes.
Gu's mother's leg injury is not healed, and she can't get out of bed to cook, Gu's father's paralyzed legs need medicine to maintain, Gu Jin also needs to take care of herself, and a strong voice in her heart told Gu Ling'er, you~ can't fall! This crumbling home still needs you to maintain!
Heaven always likes to joke with the poor, "The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind!" "Hehe~ Gu Ling'er smiled bitterly and entered the house.
