I subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and when I recalled the first time we met, she said "I can be regarded as seeing you", which made me more and more confused, frowning and asking her, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Su looked at me with red eyes: "Miss, in fact, it has been several days since I arrived in Jinling. ”

"What? How many days have you arrived? ”

"Hmm."

"Then why are you—"

I didn't finish my words, I also felt something all of a sudden, looked at her anxiously, Su Su sniffed, and said softly: "But when I came here, I was chased away by them before I entered the gate, and they didn't let me in at all." I told me I was your personal girl, and they didn't listen. ”

“……”

"They won't let me in to see you at all."

“……”

I didn't speak immediately, but was silent for a while and asked, "When was it?" ”

She thought for a moment and said, "I came here several times about four or five days ago. ”

“……”

This time, my face was slightly gloomy.

Four or five days ago, that is, after Miaoyan and I went to Yangzhou to meet Pei Yuanhao for a day, and then returned to Jinling...... It was at that time, in the bathroom, that someone did it to me; After that, the two sisters of the Han family set up that "Hongmen Banquet" to persuade me to agree to let Pei Yuanxiu take a concubine.

At that time, Su Su had already arrived in Jinling, but was turned away by them.

Come to think of it, I am in this mansion, except for Pei Yuanxiu, Miao Yan, and Yao Lao, who is a little closer to me, it can be said that I am completely alone, Su Su, who came from Jixiang Village with me, is the only person around me, but as soon as she stays in Xichuan, I have no one who can be trusted to follow me at all.

Of course, they don't want me to have such a person by my side, otherwise, how can they mess with me?

Come to think of it, at that time, they probably all felt that they had won the battle, and they didn't care what would happen if I found out about getting rid of Su Su in the future, after all, if it really came to pass, Han Ruoshi would be Pei Yuanxiu's second wife, and it was just a trivial matter for a second lady to get rid of a little girl.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer.

Maybe I've never seen me like this, Su Su was also a little stunned, and looked at me for a while and couldn't come back to his senses.

After a long while, she said softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you in this mansion?" ”

I thought about it, and I didn't plan to hide too much, after all, at this time, Su Su knew the strictness of things, so she could really help me, so I told her some of the major events that had happened these days concisely, Su Su was amazed to hear it, and when she heard that someone was going to do it to me when I was bathing, and even almost succeeded, her face sank suddenly.

She hurriedly said, "The eldest lady didn't suffer any injuries, right?" ”

I shook my head.

She gritted her teeth with hatred: "They are so bold that they dare to do it to the eldest lady!" ”

Seeing her angry, as if I wanted to immediately send those people into the eighteenth layer of hell, I was faint, even a little funny - speaking of which, I am just the eldest lady of Xichuan, but in this Jinling, I have no long things, and I don't have any power of my own, the only Qingyun embroidery workshop that I created is now also belonging to Ruxiang, and I am just a woman who is called "Madame" and is actually worthless.

However, I remembered one more thing and turned to her and asked, "By the way, they haven't allowed you to come in, so how did you meet Butu?" When Su Su heard this, he hurriedly said: "I didn't meet him, I met that Gu Ping." ”

"Gu Ping?" I was stunned for a moment: "Ping'er? ”

"Hmm." She nodded and said, "I haven't been able to come in, and no one has helped me pass it on, so I can only find an inn to stay." As a result, today, as soon as I came out of the room, I heard someone drinking and making trouble on the first floor of the inn. ”

"So, you met him, he brought you over, and found Butu?"

"Yes, that's why I came into the house to see the eldest lady. Otherwise, I'm still delaying in the inn. ”

Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and indeed, fortunately, when she followed me in Jixiang Village, Gu Ping would bring his brothers in the barracks to my yard every month to help me do some heavy work, chopping wood or repairing the roof, and the two of them knew each other, otherwise, I really didn't know how long Su Su would be delayed.

But-

Ping'er is drinking in the restaurant and making trouble?

I couldn't help frowning, how could he be so young, how could he be infected with such a vice?

I asked, "What about others?" ”

"Bring me in, and when you see that Mapu, he's gone."

"Oh......"

I sighed, it seemed that I had to find some time to talk to him again, he was still young, and he must not get into any bad habits, if his path deviated, it would have a very bad effect on the future.

I looked back at Su Su, still smiled and said, "Anyway, you came and helped me a lot." ”

Su Su hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, I will take good care of Miss Miaoyan." ”

"It's not just about taking care." I thought about it for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "Miao Yan was found in the princess's cave room, and the princess was killed, and she is very likely to see the murderer." ”

Su Su was stunned all of a sudden.

"It's okay if the murderer is just an ordinary killer, even if you see it, the chances of finding it are not great. But what if—"

I glanced back at Miaoyan, and my mood became more and more solemn, because I knew that although I was talking about "what if", the possibility of this "what if" was very high-"The murderer is someone Miaoyan has seen, or someone he knows, and if the murderer knows the current situation of Miaoyan, I don't know if he will-"

Su Su panicked for a moment and said, "Miss, what do you mean - that confessed to Lord Liu, he is not a murderer?" ”

I was silent for a moment, and said lightly, "He's not." ”

“……”

Su Su was silent for a moment, and immediately said, "I understand." ”

I nodded.

Su Su hurriedly said: "In that case, eldest lady, we shouldn't just buy girls to serve here, we also need guards." I said, "The guards don't have to buy it, just send some people." ”

Su Su was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "I know, Gu Ping!" ”

I nodded, "Yes." ”

He is the only one I can believe.

It's just that Su Su said that he went to drink and make trouble, which made me very uneasy, it is okay for men to take a sip, but if they can't control their feelings when they are drunk, then they will become drunkards, and such people will not only not be able to succeed, but may also make mistakes.

I said to Su Su: "I will deal with this matter, you take a rest now, the situation of the wonderful words, and after the medicine elder comes to give her an injection today, I will talk about it in detail." ”

Su Su immediately said: "I don't need to rest. Miss, I see that Miss Miaoyan is sweating a lot, so I'll wipe her body first. ”

“……”

I looked at this girl, who was actually just a little girl, who had just entered the room, and her face was still red and black from the sun, but she didn't care about herself at all, and only did what she wanted to do.

It's like a cow that works hard every day, eats its own forage, rests, and then starts the day's hard work.

But, isn't such a blandness a kind of happiness?

How good would life be as simple and happy as her?

Su Su looked at me a little distracted, and whispered to me again, I glanced at her, smiled and nodded: "Then you go." If you're tired, remember to rest. ”

"Miss, don't worry."

After saying that, she went to get hot water for Miao Yan to wipe herself.

|

As soon as Su Su came back, it really helped me a lot.

At noon, Yao Lao came to give Miao Yan another injection, Su Su has been serving beside her, and when Yao Lao finished his work, she asked in detail about Miao Yan's current situation, the details that need to be paid attention to, after Yao Lao finished speaking, he glanced at her again, and said softly: "You are a little girl, you are so careful, it is rare." ”

Su Su just nodded, and went to wipe Miao Yan's sweat.

Then, Yao Lao turned around and met my anxious eyes, he sighed lightly and said, "Don't worry. It's not so easy to look through medical books to find a prescription, although I didn't have many books from Xichuan, but it wasn't that easy to find a prescription, it took a little time. ”

I nodded: "I know, thank you." ”

"Actually, Yuan Xiu has already sent people to the homes of the people in Jinling to search for those lonely medical books."

"Really?"

Yao Lao raised his head and looked at me: "He's also worried about the wonderful words." ”

"......" I was silent for a moment and nodded softly, "I know." ”

He also said: "If you can't rush the things that are wonderful, think of a way slowly, there will always be hope." ”

"......" I was silent, still nodding, "I know." ”

He looked at me for a moment, said nothing, sighed lightly, and left the inner courtyard.

Soon after he had gone, about a quarter after the hour of Shen, Butu came to the inner courtyard with some young girls.

Those little girls lined up in front of me, all of them were jinghai cloth skirts, and it seemed that they had just entered the city. I looked at it for a while, and chose two that looked clean and neat, one was named Xiaoni and the other was Xi Xi, and the two of them came from the same village. During this year's drought, that remote village was empty, and with heavy taxes, there was really no way to survive, so he could only sell himself as a maid to eat. When I first arrived at such a big family, I was so frightened that I even stammered when I asked for peace, but Su Su went to take them to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and explain what they were going to do.

When Su Su took them down to the shower, I looked back at Butu and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

He arched his hand: "Madame's words are serious." ”

"One more thing." I said, "This inner courtyard guard will also trouble you, but you don't need to buy another one, I would like to ask you to transfer a few people from the army, preferably-"

Before he finished speaking, Butu said: "Don't worry about this, Madame, I have already brought someone over." ”

With that, he waved his hand, and several soldiers who were heavily armed and looked very capable came from outside, stood at the door, and bowed to me.
