Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise: "All the things in the house are complicated, and the chores are entangled, why does Mrs. have time to come here." ”

Ma Xiuying didn't care, so she just asked herself: "Wu Guogong, where is Sister Biyi, please come and see her." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this matter must not be concealed by Ma Xiuying, so he calmly said: "That slut seems to have a manic disease, and when he became ill, he just bumped into his father-in-law, yelling and making a fuss, which is not in a proper manner." It is even more agitated and abnormal, people can't stop her, but I can't keep her, and I have already had her put to death. ”

Ma Xiuying was just between the incense pavilions, restless, and didn't know what the situation was after Xu Biyi went to see Zhu Yuanzhang. I complained in my heart about why the maid who followed me didn't come back to report it.

was complaining, only to see the maid he had just sent running back in a panic, Ma Xiuying greeted him, and after asking, he learned that Xu Biyi and Zhu Yuanzhang said that they were screwed, and the two had a very serious dispute, and Wu Guogong also personally came out to drive away the servants and maids who were secretly lively.

As soon as she heard this, Ma Xiuying felt that the situation was not good, so she hurried over with two maids, wanting to say something for the two of them, but she didn't expect that it was still a step too late.

When Ma Xiuying heard this, her heart was shocked, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she called out: "Sister Biyi, my sister is a step late, I'm sorry for you." ”

Then he glanced at his eyes and fainted. Fortunately, the two maids behind her had already taken precautions when they saw their master's strange appearance.

The two stepped forward in unison, supported Ma Xiuying's crumbling body, and hung down and called, "Master, what's wrong with you." Wu Guogong, come and see, master, she fainted. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect Ma Xiuying to react like this, so he hurriedly hurried over a few steps and helped Ma Xiuying's soft body from the side.

I saw Ma Xiuying's eyes closed, and there were two tear stains faintly on her delicate face.

"Wu Guogong, our master won't be overly frightened and unconscious, right?" A maid asked a little worriedly.

"It's not our fault, it's really Madame who fainted for a while, and I didn't do anything." The other maid also defended herself with some uneasiness.

The two maids have always known that Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong has a short temper, once he is angry and angry with others, he likes to punish the slaves and servants in the house. opened his mouth to defend himself like this, but he was also afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, would start a nameless karma fire again and spread his anger on himself.

Seeing the two maids acting like this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry in his heart, and shouted at the two maids: "What time has it been now, Mrs. is unconscious, you are still passing the buck to each other, is it because you dislike Mrs. did not die on the spot." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were extremely powerful, and the two maids didn't dare to reply, so they only glanced at each other and didn't say a word.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Ma Xiuying's lips, felt that it was no big deal, turned his head to a maid and shouted, "You go to the dining room to get a pot of water, go quickly." ”

The maid was slightly stunned, and immediately understood, and ran out in a hurry, but tripped over the doorrail and fell on her foot.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his face and couldn't help scolding: "Useless things, you will fall when you walk, I don't know if you are so careless in doing things on weekdays." ”

The maid listened to it, felt extremely aggrieved in her heart, and was almost about to shed tears, but at a glance, she only saw another maid secretly pointing at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then pointed at Ma Xiuying, signaling that she didn't need to pay attention to it, and it was important to rescue Mrs. Ma first.

In a blink of an eye, I saw Wu Guogong's face was calm and cold, his eyes were staring at him coldly, the maid shuddered unconsciously, hurriedly got up from the ground, didn't care about tidying up the clothes on his body, and only after he fell into the dust that he was contaminated, he ran away as soon as he slipped away.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the maid was far away, so he turned his face and gently called Ma Xiuying's name a few times in Ma Xiuying's ear, but Ma Xiuying showed no sign of waking up. I couldn't help but panic a little in my heart, I don't know if Ma Xiuying was shocked because after listening to her words, she lost her mind for a while, and she fell into a coma. The folk also heard from time to time, often some people can't wake up because of this, as if they are asleep, they don't wake up for many years, and the doctors can't see any clues.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart couldn't help but feel faintly worried, and his face couldn't help but become sluggish and dark. ”

The maid on the side also saw the opportunity, and when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face was different, she blurted out and asked: "Wu Guogong, what is wrong with Madame, is there really a big problem?" ”

couldn't figure out what Xu Biyi's situation was, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to answer, so he had to respond perfunctorily: "Take good care of Mrs. Ma with your own country's public, you don't need to say much, your country's own way." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were clearly a signal that the maid didn't have to talk much, and the maid was also quite eye-catching, knowing that if she asked Wu Guogong again, she would be angry, if she angered Wu Guogong, I was afraid that she would not have any good fruit to eat.

In view of this, the maid silently helped Zhu Yuanzhang move Ma Xiuying to a Taishi chair, and then rolled up her sleeves to fan Ma Xiuying.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that her behavior was quite strange, and he didn't know what she was doing, so he asked curiously for a while: "Girl, what are you doing, what do you want to do with a sleeve fan." ”

The maid hurriedly responded: "Wu Guogong, the folk customs of slaves and maids, if someone suddenly falls unconscious, and the personnel is unknown, someone must hold a fan to fan the wind, so that they can help the unconscious person wake up quickly, and the slave and maid can't find a fan between them, so they just need to replace them with sleeves first, and pray that Mrs. Ma Jiren has her own natural appearance and wakes up as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, sighed softly and said, "You have a heart, Mrs. Ma must be taking you with you a lot." ”

The maid nodded and said: "The slave maid is the closest personal maid by Mrs. Ma's side, and Mrs. Ma treats the slave and maid like a mother and daughter, and she doesn't need to say anything." Mrs. Ma is virtuous and virtuous, and she is extremely wide, even for other low-ranking pawns and servants in the mansion, she is also extremely benevolent and lenient. When I see the monks and worship the Buddha, it can be said that the virtue is pure, and the most pious is the most pious. The people below privately call Mrs. Ma the living Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves suffering, and they admire and admire it. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the maid say this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "According to what you said, Mrs. Ma is extremely kind, could it be that the country's fairness is not kind enough to you." ”

The maid didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was Wu Guogong, would be so cross-examined, and couldn't help but panic, and denied it in a hurry: "The slave didn't say that Wu Guogong's half point was not, in the eyes of the slave and maid, Wu Guogong is also the same as Mrs. Ma, they are all immortals and bodhisattvas who save the suffering, and they are all excellent people." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's black tiger's face frightened the maid; "You said that Mrs. Ma is kind-hearted and extremely lenient to you, just like a Bodhisattva, but the fair day of the country is not to be laughed at, and it is not good for you to wait, if it arises, it is often necessary to beat your mother and so on, why do you say that your father-in-law is also the same as Mrs. Ma, just like a Bodhisattva who saves suffering. If you can't say it, or if you make clever words and decorations, let the national public see the reason, be careful that the national public will pull you down, and the heavy will be thirty boards. Let's see if you will be so clever in deceiving others in the future. ”

The maid only played the drum in her heart, and she had always heard that Wu Guogong's temperament was strange and extremely elusive, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

If she couldn't say that a meridian was ugly today, which angered Wu Guogong, maybe she really didn't follow in the footsteps of those sisters a few days ago, thinking of the tragic situation of those maids and maids who were ordered and punished by Wu Guogong, she only felt a chill in her heart. That kind of pain is not something that ordinary people can bear.

In a panic, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and the maid suddenly thought of a statement, and now she doesn't know if she can prevaricate the past, but in her opinion, it is quite self-justifying. Thinking of this, the maid forced herself to settle her panicked mind, and then said: "Wu Guogong, the slave maid does not have a word of falsehood, Mrs. Ma is kind-hearted and gentle to others, Wu Guogong is murderous by nature, not angry but powerful, although it is far from Mrs. Ma's face and kindness, but Wu Guogong killed all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who disregarded people's lives and extorted tyranny, fought against the inferior gentry and local tyrants in the poor fish and meat township, and overthrew the corrupt and degenerate Tartar court that was angry with people and gods. Immortals and Bodhisattvas, don't they all pay attention to defending the way and eliminating demons, what Wu Guogong did is exactly what he does, and the slave dares to say that Wu Guogong and Mrs. Ma are both immortals and Bodhisattvas that ordinary people can't reach. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the maid say this, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and pointed to the maid and said, "It's okay, even if what you say is good this time, I will spare you for the time being." Next time, if you still talk like this, be careful that your tongue will be pulled out alive by the public order of your country. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's admonition was extremely severe, and the maid couldn't help but stick out her tongue secretly, and then pretended to face and replied to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Wu Guogong's lesson is that slaves and maids will keep it in mind. In the future, people before and after others will definitely not talk so much nonsense. ”

Seeing that the maid was so humble and changed, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt very comforted and bowed slightly to her. Then Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again, and when he saw these things that lingered in his heart day and night, that is, Ma Xiuying's personal maid Cui'er jumped into the well some time ago, Zhu Yuanzhang casually mentioned: "Is Miss Cui'er the same as you, all in your yard, how do you interact on weekdays?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, who listened to it, suddenly mentioned Cui'er, and the maid chuckled in her heart, thinking that Cui'er's death was quite a coat, but everyone didn't know what the truth was, and it was inconvenient to say it casually. At that moment, the maid became secretly vigilant and said: "There are many maids in the house who are all named Cui'er, I don't know which one is the Cui'er that Wu Guogong said?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the reply, and was slightly stunned, not knowing that there was more than one maid named Cui'er in the mansion, and he didn't care at the moment, but continued to ask: "It's Mrs. Ma's personal maid named Cui'er, my country's public heard that this Cui'er girl ran out to call people after Mrs. Ma was poisoned, I don't know if I was afraid of crime in my heart, and I committed suicide by jumping into a well." ”

When the maid heard this, she understood that Zhu Yuanzhang also knew some details, if she claimed that she didn't know about it, lest Wu Guogong be suspicious and continue to ask, it would definitely be concealed, and it would be even more difficult to do it when the time came. However, if you find out this matter with Wu Guogong, it will inevitably be involved, and it will not be easy to get out. After thinking about it for a while, the maid decided to only say that she knew Cui'er, but she didn't know what was going on.

"Oh, what Wu Guogong is talking about is this Cui'er, the slave and the maid know it, but he is not in the same class as the slave and the maid, although he is not a stranger, but he has no deep friendship." The maid's gentle and clever words wanted to gently put aside Cui'er's tricky matter, and she didn't want to be contaminated in the slightest.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a hint of something wrong from the hesitant look of the maid just now, and he was suspicious, so he wanted to open his mouth to ask Cui'er if anyone had a grudge.

Shang was about to speak, and at this moment, I saw the maid who had left to get water holding a teapot in her hand and hurriedly ran in.

"Wu Guogong, when the slave maid arrived at the kitchen, she was anxious about Mrs. Ma, so she used the teapot to fetch a little water, and I don't know if it is suitable or not?" After a rush just now, she was still lying on the edge of the door, gasping for breath, and the maid said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The other maid was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would continue to ask about Cui'er, so she took this opportunity to hurriedly walk to the maid who was lying by the door, stretched out her hand and took the teapot in her hand, walked to the front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and handed the teapot to Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to ask the maid about Cui'er, but the teapot started, and the cold touch reminded Zhu Yuanzhang for a while, Ma Xiuying is still unconscious, and she must be rescued as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the two maids came over and gathered around Ma Xiuying, who was in a coma.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and took a sip of water on the mouth of the teapot, put it in his mouth, strode to the Taishi chair where Ma Xiuying was lying, and then flattened Ma Xiuying's body, and then squirted a mouthful of water on Ma Xiuying's face.

The cold water stirred her face, Ma Xiuying's skin was covered with foam, and the cherry sandalwood mouth seemed to tremble slightly.

"Wu Guogong, look, the corners of Madame's mouth seem to have moved a few times, and she reacted slightly, is she about to wake up?" The maid who had just gone to fetch water shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang with some excitement.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a closer look, and saw that the corners of Ma Xiuying's mouth really squirmed a few times, like the gills of a fish, but it was extremely subtle, if you didn't look carefully, it was really not easy to notice for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, casually handed the teapot in his hand to a maid standing on the side, then leaned over, took a closer look, then stretched out his finger and pinched Ma Xiuying's person.

"Ah" exclaimed, Ma Xiuying, who was faintly like a sleep, suddenly woke up, opened her eyes and saw a familiar face, only to see her husband Zhu Yuanzhang standing in front of her, but her face felt a little wet and uncomfortable.

"Madame is awake, Madame is awake, Wu Guogong is really amazing." A maid shouted for joy.

"Wu Guogong, it's great that Mrs. Ma has woken up." The maid who went to fetch water also shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang with honor.

Ma Xiuying struggled and wanted to sit up, but when the two maids saw the state, they reached out to help Ma Xiuying up, then took out the handkerchief and wiped the foam off Ma Xiuying's face.

"What's wrong with me?" Ma Xiuying still felt a little dizzy, and asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's always been that Mrs. was severely poisoned some time ago, and her body has not yet recovered, so she was in a hurry, and she fainted for a while, and she wanted to come and recuperate for a few days, and she would definitely be fine." Zhu Yuanzhang comforted Ma Xiuying in a soft voice beside him.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Ma Xiuying suddenly thought of Xu Biyi's matter, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

"Wu Guogong, where is the body of Biyi's sister, Xiuying wants to go over to see her appearance, I don't know if Wu Guogong can agree." Ma Xiuying said to Zhu Yuanzhang as if she was begging.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, and earnestly admonished: "That slut asked me for three feet of white silk, and he actually hanged himself in a room, it must have been terrible, and the body of the lady's daughter is not suitable for labor, so it is better to be exempted." Why bother to visit this slut like this. ”

"Three-foot white silk, then Biyi's sister can still protect the whole body, since Wu Guogong can maintain the last dignity of Biyi's sister, why bother to let Xiuying go to see Biyi's corpse." Ma Xiuying still relentlessly begged Zhu Yuanzhang for reclamation.

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh and said to Ma Xiuying: "Since you insist on seeing you, my lord will let people take you to see you, but you must respect your identity, you must not depreciate your identity, and degrade yourself to make things that are not compliant, so it will not be unorthodox." ”

Ma Xiuying smiled slightly and said: "The netherworld is different, people and ghosts have different paths, Biyi's sisters have gone to the Netherworld, and what kind of regulations are you talking about." If the Biyi girl who can be changed is still young, even if I am from now on. It is okay to chant sutras and prays every day, eat fasting and worship the Buddha, and even reduce the longevity of Yang, but it is impossible to do it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was so sad when she heard it, but it was not easy to refute it.

He skimmed over Ma Xiuying, turned his face to the maid on the side and asked, "The matter of Cui'er that I just mentioned has not yet been resolved, do you know who Cui'er has had a grievance with in the house?" ”

"The slave knows." The maid who went to fetch water was not very careful, and she didn't even see the gesture of the other maid who was gesturing to her on the side to signal her not to speak.
