Chapter 75 [Accepting the Punishment]
"When"
A sound woke up the sleeping Ye Junyi, she raised her head tiredly, only to see a small opening in a window by those people, this small opening was opened at this time, and a ray of dazzling sunlight was projected in, and she squinted over.
"Madam, your meal is here," a stiff voice came from the small window, "and these are some candles, ink, and paper, and Aunt Ying has told you to copy the scriptures in a good life, and if you do not complete three hundred articles in one day or the writing is not good, you must double and recopy them." β
As the man spoke, he saw the same thing being handed over from the small window, and the light was only bright for a moment, and then a sound of "dang" was heard, and the light disappeared again, and only the sound of footsteps was heard farther and farther away.
She sat upright in the dark. Dear sisterβloneliness accompanies her, but she doesn't say a word, only sighs.
"Madame, ma'am, are you there?" It was here that she heard a small voice coming from the window.
She quickly turned around, put her face against the window and asked, "Qingyu, is that you?" β
"Yes, ma'am, it's a slave," Qingyu whispered through the window, "are you okay?" Madam. β
"Okay," Ye Junyi replied hoarsely, "I, I'm good." β
"Madame!" Qingyu listened to her choked voice and sobbed, "Madam, you are not sad, the slave maid came secretly, let Aunt Ying see it, the slave and maid will also be locked up, and the situation of Madame will be even more difficult." Therefore, madam, you have to calm down and listen to the slave and maid say two words, just two sentences, and when you are done, the slave and maid must leave. β
"Well," Ye Junyi suppressed the sobbing voice and replied, "I'll listen, you can talk about it." β
"Okay," Qingyu said in a low voice, "Qiu Ju, Chunlan and the other maids in the room were locked up in the empty courtyard in front of them by Aunt Ying, and they didn't lack food for a day, and they were also given medicine for their injuries, so don't worry." Also, I heard that Ye was summoned away as soon as you left Aunt Yu's room, as if it was said that the disaster in the lower reaches of the Yellow River was serious, and the hungry people organized a big riot, so let Ye set off immediately. The eunuch who followed the order also came with some royal guards, and he took the master away at that time. When the master was leaving, he handed over all the affairs of the house to Aunt Ying and the Jin guards, and told them to take good care of the old lady and you, and I heard that he also told him that he could not let Mrs. You go out and not meet guests during this period, and the white girl and several aunts could not see each other. β
Ye Junyi's heart was even more cold when he said this, sat down, and said through the window: "Qian Hongying has already told me this, I'm just worried that I don't know what Aunt Yu's condition is." β
"Madame, don't worry about her," Qingyu replied, "Aunt Yu has come to her senses, and her life is no longer worried." It's just that Aunt Yu is a person who has clear grievances and will take revenge, and Mrs. has already formed a grudge against her, so you should be careful in the future. β
"She's fine." Ye Junyi replied in a low voice.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Qingyu heard that her tone was not very good, and said outside, "The master can't either, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and Madame Hugh has to blame him." He received the order at night may have been in the palace to see the saint, until early in the morning, he sent a personal servant back to get some clothes, Aunt Ying said Madam, you are still resting, don't let people disturb, so go to Mingyuezhai to get it, Aunt Ying and Jin guards also went to see off. β
"Oh," Ye Junyi said, "It's okay if he has nothing to do, it's okay if he has nothing to do." As soon as I heard that he was taken away by the royal guards, I was a little worried about it....... He's fine if he has nothing to do, just nothing to do. β
"Well," Qingyu continued, "Master is fine, he has survived all the hardships in the past few years, but he is only to inspect the disaster and pacify the mob, and he will definitely be fine." β
"That's good, that's good." Ye Junyi's tears flowed, but his voice was calm at this time.
So the slave and maid came to squeak with Mrs., and his heart was always pretending to be Mrs., and Mrs. must not think too much. The master told you not to go out, not to see guests, there must be his reasons, as for all this now, Qian Hongying concealed it from the old lady and the master, you must not take these grievances on the master. β
"I know." Ye Junyi said in a low voice.
"Madam," Qingyu continued crying outside, "Although the time that the slave and maid have been by your side is not long, the slave and maid also know one or two about the nature of the lady. You can't think about it at this time, and the slave and maid also know that you will not listen to what you were advised before, so the slave and maid will not say any more about it. It's just that you must take care of your body, the daily meal must not be too much, you don't have to be angry, you have to run out of breath to save your strength. Those scriptures also had to be copied according to Aunt Ying's wishes, lest she would be punished more severely. You still don't know how powerful Aunt Ying is, don't go against her at this time, the slave will definitely find a way for Mrs. outside. β
"I know," Ye Junyi stood up and leaned against the window, "You go back quickly, so as not to let them find out." β
"Yes, madam, you must not be angry, you must take care of yourself, the slave and maid will go first." Qingyu said this, listened to it for a while, and saw that there was no longer a sound coming from the house, so the reluctant cat walked out.
"Jade girl."
Qingyu had not yet been discharged from the hospital, and the two mothers-in-law called her softly, and she quickly took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and handed it over.
"Ouch, the girl is too polite," a mother-in-law took the silver with a smile, put it in her hand and checked it, quite heavy, "You must be careful when you go back, let Aunt Ying know, my two mothers-in-law's errand in this mansion will be over." β
"Don't worry," Qingyu said, "It's just that you have to treat your wife well, these days, if you treat your wife badly, when the master comes back, you will be good-looking." β
"That's, that's," the two mothers-in-law laughed and said, "You can rest assured, we have a number in our hearts." β
Qingyu warned her mother-in-law, and left without mentioning it, and said that Ye Junyi was leaning against the window, and heard Qingyu's footsteps walking farther and farther, without moving. Fortunately, for a long time, she thought about what Qingyu had said, and smiled bitterly: Take care of yourself? Yes, of course, take care, even divorce is not a big deal in the 21st century, not to mention the situation is still unknown. Besides, if you don't want to make your body suffer. Thinking of this, she went to the window with the things that had just been handed in, and there was a table, and she felt for a while, found the fire fold and the candle, lit it, and the room was finally lit.
There was also some paper, pens, ink, and half a bowl of gruel on the table. The porridge was already cold, and she drank it in one go: it was so sweet! After enjoying the bowl of gruel, she lit two candles, spread out the paper, and began to transcribe the scriptures in earnest.
When she first arrived in the house, she often practiced calligraphy to pass the time, but after all, she is a modern person, and she also practices big characters, and now she has to transcribe 300 small characters a day, which is undoubtedly a torture for her.
I saw that she first folded the paper into a grid, grabbed the pen, and carefully traced it stroke by stroke, but the pen always did not listen to the command of the hand, and always had to write the words big beyond the grid. The next word, she paid attention to writing smaller, but it was too small, and there were a lot of empty spaces in the grid, such as a large and a small one, she picked it up and looked at it, and she felt that it was very ugly when she looked at it, and she must not be able to pay the difference, so she rubbed it off and wrote it again; Halfway through the writing of this second article, I picked it up and looked at it, it was not much different from the first one, and I rubbed it off and wrote it again......
If I kept writing over and over again, my shoulders were so sore that I couldn't lift them, and my hand holding the pen trembled.
"Hey!" She sighed, threw away the pen in her hand, rubbed her shoulder, and counted the words that had been written, but there was a lot of paper that had been crumpled, but what was written was a thin stack, only fifty or so articles, three hundred, how is this the head?
It was dark in the room, and she didn't know what time it was, so she took a candle and walked to the bedside to look at the hourglass. The candle flame flickered, and she couldn't see where the sand in the hourglass was going, so she buried her head even further.
"Hey," she saw clearly, sighed, and said to herself, "It's almost time, Qian Hongying is probably going to send someone to get it...... Yes! β
Suddenly there was a burning heat on her face, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the candle flame that had burned her long head, and she screamed, and quickly threw away the candle in her hand, and put her hand on the fire in her hair.
Fortunately, fortunately, she found it in time, and the fire on her head was extinguished in a few clicks, and she breathed a sigh of relief, it was really scary. Suddenly, the room seemed to light up a lot, well, and there were ....... Not good! Look up, oh noβit's on fire!
There's a fire on the bed!
In a hurry, was the candle thrown on the bed?
The sheets and the nets are on fire!
She didn't have to think about it, she broke up the thin quilt on the bed and threw it up.
Fortunately, fortunately, it was found in time, the bed was not lit, and after a few clicks, the fire was extinguished, she was still not very relieved, this house is all wooden, and it is easy to rekindle a little spark. She hurriedly stumbled into the clean room in the dark.
"Knock"
When she entered the door, there was a sharp pain in her right calf, and she tripped over something, she quickly helped her to the door frame, and stabilized her body, so that she was not thrown to the ground: Damn, what kind of threshold did these people do in ancient times. Fortunately, fortunately, I held on to the door frame and didn't fall into an ugly.
At this time, there was no time to pretend to be squeamish and squeamish, so he limped out a bucket of water in the clean room, splashed on the bed, and sat down on the Taishi chair panting: Now you can rest assured that you will not be burned to death in this room.
"Bang Dang"
She sat down and didn't rest for a while, the small window for delivering things opened again, and a beam of golden light of dusk was projected in, but after a moment, the light was blocked, Ye Junyi's eyes adjusted for a while, and she saw that under the faint candlelight, a wrinkled face blocked the small window.
"Madam, Aunt Ying has asked the slave maid to collect the copied scriptures, please ask the lady to take the scripture slave and maid." The woman said in a cold voice, and the black beads in her triangular eyes, like the eyes of a snake looking for food at night, emitted a cold light in the dim candlelight.
Forbidden woman! Could it be that this is the legendary forbidden woman who has no body, only a lot of long hair, and an old woman's face in the middle!
Ye Junyi made a cold ban!
