Chapter 35: Aunt Zhang's Situation
Yes, Liu Rong just wants to give the best to her 'daughter', so, to tell the truth, the people who can enter Duan 'Yu'lan's courtyard must have undergone strict screening, and there is absolutely no room for sloppy people.
And what about Da Cui? She has been 'serving' Duan Qingming for many years, and her 'sex' has been cultivated, either she is rude or has a ghost in her heart. This kind of person, how could Liu Rong be willing to put her to Duan 'Yu' Lan? Didn't she block Duan 'Yu' Lan?
Liu Rong would never allow anything unfavorable to Duan 'Yu' Lan, so Da Cui was really a fantasy.
And Da Cui wants to 'serve' Liu Rong, which is even more impossible.
First of all, Liu Rong doesn't like Duan Qingming, naturally, don't want a girl that Duan Qingming doesn't want, and second, what kind of girl does she want? Just want a master who will betray his master?
This is even more unlikely. Moreover, Liu Rong just used money to buy Dacui's information, but she never said that she was her own person, so Dacui's wishful thinking was really a loss.
At that moment, Da Cui ran to Mama Wang's 'door' and knocked on the 'door', and Mama Wang looked at Da Cui, and her face became displeased: "Why are you here?" ”
Da Cui saw that Mama Wang's face was not 'color', and hurriedly said: "Back to Mama's words, the slave maid has something to tell Madame......
When Mama Wang heard this, her face was a little pale, but she didn't forget to add lightly: "If you have anything to do in the future, just talk to Mama Tian, don't keep coming to me and make people suspicious." ”
When Da Cui heard this, her heart was half cold, but she didn't dare to refute, so she had to quickly agree.
Mama Wang is reluctant to deal more with people like Dacui who bully and sell the master. To put it bluntly, as subordinates, they don't like those slaves and maids who eat inside and outside when they get silver. Moreover, this Da Cui's mind is really too obvious, and he wants his wife to accept her, but how is it possible? If the lady didn't let her throw her out, she was already very merciful. Even Mama Wang, if it weren't for Da Cui's intelligence from time to time, she wouldn't have looked at Da Cui out of the corner of her eye.
Da Cui said the conversation between Duan Qingming and Xia Cao'er that he had just heard. Then, he walked away lightly.
Mama Wang looked at Da Cui's face, and couldn't help sneering, how did this little hoof who couldn't recognize the position of the book look at it, how could he owe it to clean up......
Da Cui walked away, pulling out the cold in her heart, pulling out the cold, at the beginning, when she took refuge in Liu Rong, Liu Rong patted her heart and said it well, but now, seeing that she is useless, do they want to abandon their son?
Moreover, Da Cui knew that Duan Qingming had already sensed something, and for sure, she couldn't tolerate her for a long time, it seemed that she had to plan for herself. Da Cui returned to his house, hurriedly took two taels of silver out, and then called the third uncle in the 'door' room to find a way to bring it to his brother, saying that there was something to ask him to come over.
After doing this, Da Cui cheered up and began to wait for his brother - it seems that there is no way to stay in this mansion, and now, he can only rely on his brother - but his brother is a person who can only see money, really, will he help himself?
Thinking about it for a while, Da Cui suddenly felt that this day was going to be dark.
When Da Cui was planning for herself, Duan Qingming here had already taken Xia Cao'er to the backyard.
After passing through the 'flower' garden, you will arrive at the corner of the west courtyard. There, there is a row of dilapidated yards, shining in the autumn sun, shining in tatters!
These are the residences of Aunt Duanfu. In the past, when Duan Normal came, he was extremely glamorous, but now it seems that it is obvious that he has not been detected for many years.
Duan Qingming groaned for a while, and shook her head in her heart, as an eldest lady, her life is so difficult, and now, let alone these aunts who have no identity and no status in the mansion.
Duan Qingming sighed slightly, Xia Cao'er recognized the road in front, and then she followed Xia Cao'er's steps and walked towards the courtyard in the middle!
The courtyard was very quiet, almost no figure could be seen, Duan Qingming stood at the entrance of the 'door', Xia Cao'er went in first, after a while, as soon as she walked to the 'door', she saw a little girl with a simplely dressed aunt, a little panicked to greet her, the two of them saw Duan Qingming at first glance, and at the same time they were taken aback, and then they knelt down all of a sudden:
"The concubine has seen the eldest lady!"
"The slave has seen the eldest lady......"
Duan Qingming raised her hand slightly:
"Aunt Zhang's face is very bad."
Duan Qingming stared at the 'girl' in front of her, she was about twenty years old, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her face was pale. On her body, she is wearing a half-worn water red 'color' half-sleeve, and her lower body is wearing a water blue 'color' skirt, although it is neatly cleaned up, but it can also be seen that her embarrassment!
Duan Qingming took a closer look, and it was not difficult to see that Aunt Zhang in front of her had good eyebrows, but her face was pale and her skin was old, and she was wearing a pink half-sleeve for an unknown number of years. Look at the little girl named Qiu'er on the side, her face is pale and full of vegetables. Looking at the clothes on her body are also very shabby, looking at her like this, Duan Qingming knows that Aunt Zhang's life is not much better.
Just imagine, in her previous life, she actually lived a similar life as Aunt Zhang, and Duan Qingming still knew this.
Aunt Zhang seems to be really sick, her face is pale, there is no trace of charm, and even when she walks, she is shaky. At this time, he forcibly came out to salute, and it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength.
Qiu'er wanted to help Aunt Zhang, but Duan Qingming was still there, her hand stretched out, but she didn't dare to move.
Duan Qingming said lightly: "Xia Cao He'er, you can help Qiu'er help your aunt, auntie, I arrived at your 'door', don't you invite me into the house to talk?" ”
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she knelt on the ground again and said in a low voice: "The concubine doesn't dare, the eldest lady please ......."
Duan Qingming entered the house, and Aunt Zhang stood up with the support of Qiu'er and Xia Cao'er, and then slowly walked towards the house. A few people came into the house, and Duan Qingming saw that the room was simple, with only a table and a stool, and a small 'bed'. Looking like this, it seems to be Qiu'er's shelter.
Seeing Duan Qingming's eyes, Aunt Zhang hurriedly explained:
"In the courtyard of the concubine, only Qiu'er is left, and the concubine is sick, so she is in the house, so she is waiting for her in the house."
Duan Qingming sat down in front of the stool that Qiu'er moved, and when she saw that Aunt Zhang was about to salute again, she waved her hand and said lightly to Aunt Zhang:
"Aunt Zhang, excuse me! You can sit down too. ”
Aunt Zhang stood up with Qiu'er's support, but she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Duan Qingming!
Duan Qingming looked at Aunt Zhang and said in a deep voice:
"If I'm not mistaken, Aunt Zhang is the aunt that my mother pointed out to my father, I don't know if it's or isn't?"
As soon as Ding Rou mentioned that she had already passed the wife, it seemed to arouse Aunt Zhang's heart, and before she could speak, tears flowed down first:
"The slave maid was originally the lady's dowry girl, and was later pointed out to the master by the lady......"
Aunt Zhang didn't say any more. She 'pulled' out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and then said:
"Madame has a kind heart, and she treats slaves and maids very well... But ......"
However, since the death of the lady, their situation has become worse and worse day by day!
Duan Qingming looked at Aunt Zhang and said lightly:
"My mother pointed out to my father's aunt, and she is also my mother's person!" This Aunt Zhang, if it weren't for Mrs. Ding Rou's person, I'm afraid she wouldn't have fallen into today's situation, right?
Aunt Zhang's tearful eyes were raised suddenly, she looked at Duan Qingming with unbelievable eyes, and she was touching a pair of eyes that were extremely quiet, but also extremely indifferent!
Aunt Zhang quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to speak out anymore!
The recent changes of the eldest lady are in everyone's eyes, at this time, there are words in her words, but what is it implying in her words?
However, since the death of his wife, Liu Rong has taken control of the Duan Mansion, not to mention that the people who followed Ding Rou before did not end well, even their aunts, none of them had a good end.
Moreover, she is either crazy or dead, only she, who pretended to be crazy and stupid, barely survived!
