She looked very haggard, and even her eyes flashed with a look of cringe and horror, remembering that day outside this room, when she was scolded with a cane, although I did not see it with my own eyes, but that day she cried more and more miserably, and I can probably understand how hard she was hit.

As I said before, it's not that easy for a person to get ahead.

Even You Muya, who was introduced by Nangong Lizhu, danced in front of Pei Yuanhao for the first time, and was beaten by Pei Yuanzhen, who seemed to have nothing to do with it, not to mention such a small maid.

It has always been more difficult for women to get ahead than for men.

However, I don't intend to comfort her, after all, all the Yiqiē is her own choice, and she should also have the courage to bear the consequences of her actions.

So, I lowered my head again and continued to read, but this time I didn't look for a while, and I was disturbed by a loud noise coming from outside, which sounded like a lot of people were gathered outside to talk, and there was a lot of movement, but because it was too far away, the sound did not disturb me too much.

I subconsciously got up and looked out the window: "What's going on outside?"

"I, I don't know."

"Let's go check it out."

Speaking of which, I am really a little bored, when there is nothing to do, even a little thing will arouse people's great interest, Cai Wei heard me say this, but did not stop me, but accompanied me out of the inner courtyard without saying a word, and the guards at the door also saluted me respectfully, and did not stop me much.

As soon as I crossed the small bridge outside, the noise was piercing.

We walked all the way out, and when we reached the door, we were startled by what we saw.

Outside the gate, hundreds of ordinary people gathered here, and I couldn't hear a word of what they were saying loudly, only hearing someone constantly thanking them, saying something "thank you, Miss", and something like "a hundred years of good together".

I frowned slightly and walked to the door.

Only then did I see that it was the people in the house who took out a lot of rice and grain and piled them up outside the door, set up a few tables, and those ordinary people all crowded up, everyone carried a bag in their hands, and when it was their turn, the people in the house scooped a big spoonful of rice and noodles into their pockets and poured it in, and those people took the things and left with a thousand thanks.

They are giving

I was stunned for a moment, I don't know why such a thing happened suddenly, and when I turned around, I saw Butu walking from the side, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately came up to greet me.

I asked, "What's going on?"

He said: "This, it seems that it was all ordered by Miss Han. ”

"She"

"Hmm. Miss Han and Gongzi's wedding date is coming, so they give alms at this gate for three days. All the common people can come here to receive rice and noodles. ”

"That's right."

I glanced back at my Xiaoni and Xi Xi and said, many places have suffered disasters this year, and many people's homes are about to be unable to open the pot, as soon as they heard about the almsgiving here, they naturally all rushed here, looking at their thousands of thanks, and kept bowing to the house, chanting Han Ruoshi's name.

After looking at it for a while, I smiled faintly and said, "It's good." ”

Butu didn't speak, just looked at me quietly, and said cautiously at this time: "It's hot, Madame, let's go back and rest." ”

I nodded, and he turned his head and instructed Cai Wei to say a few more words, and Cai Wei cautiously agreed, and helped me to walk back.

However, I did not go back the same way, but walked slowly along the lake, and after a while, I walked to the place close to the pasture, only to find that the bustle here did not depress the gate at all, but because it was far away, I had not paid attention to it before.

I stood in the courtyard and watched quietly for a while, and when the busy attendants and maids saw me appear, they all came to salute, but they did not stay long, after all, they all had their own busy work to do.

Some climbed up to the high roofs and began to repair and clean, the roofs and beams were repainted, the flowers and plants in the garden were uprooted and replanted, and some large trees were pruned, and the whole garden looked like a new look.

Then I saw the attendants running back and forth with their bright red satin, apparently busy with the decoration of the new house, and the hall.

They were in this garden preparing for the upcoming marriage.

In fact, there has always been regular repairs in this garden, and there is no need for such a big battle at all, but recalling the scene I just saw at the door, and the day Han Zitong came to me, what I got was the result that I always refused to give up the position of my wife, and I somewhat understood why they did these things with such fanfare.

Now that it's like this, the people in Jinling City all know that Pei Yuanxiu is going to marry her eldest lady of the Han family, so giving rice and noodles has earned all the patience, and the people are easy to be bought, and it is easier to forget, I think soon, the people here will not remember that there is still my wife, besides, my wife has not done anything practical for them, and there are benefits in their hearts, and they are all the kindness of the new lady in their hearts.

In this way, it no longer makes sense for me to let this lady out of her position.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile faintly.

I turned back to Cai Wei and said, "Help me back." ”

"Yes."

When the two of them returned to the inner courtyard, I was a little more tired, and I was a little drowsy when I lay on the couch, but in the chaos, I could always feel that there was a person's gaze watching me, although I didn't open my eyes, but the feeling of being watched was extraordinarily distinct, or sensitive.

I lay down for a while, and finally opened my eyes, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I met the eyes of Cai Wei who was waiting on the side and kept looking at me, she hurriedly turned her head away in a little panic, I lay there, and said softly: "Look at what I do"

She paused for a moment, then looked back at me.

I slowly raised my head and looked her in the eye. In fact, I already knew that if I could let her come back and continue to serve me, Pei Yuanxiu must have cleaned her up properly, but looking at the contradictory eyes that kept flashing in her eyes, it seemed like that was the case.

She hesitated for a while before she looked up at me and said softly, "Madam, Madame has already given up, has it?"

“”

"Madame is not going to go again"

I slowly put my hands together on my chest, looked at her and said, "Why do you ask me that?"

"Me"

"Did Childe ask you to ask me?"

She hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no. It's me, it's me who wants to ask Madame. ”

“”

As she spoke, she looked at me with wide eyes and asked in a low voice, "Madam, you have already given up and don't plan to leave again, do you?"

I looked at her for a moment and said, "What about you?"

"Me"

"You've always wanted to get ahead, but now after this incident, do you think you can still get ahead?"

“”

She didn't speak, and I looked at the tangled look in her eyes, which was even more contradictory.

I looked at her eyes that seemed to be colliding with countless emotions and almost hitting sparks, smiled faintly, and said: "Of course, people are afraid of pain, and they all seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and no one will bang their heads against the south wall again and again without repentance for no reason." If even you don't want to be tortured anymore and give up the idea of getting ahead, of course I won't want to do useless work again, and every time I am arrested and put under house arrest again. ”

"Me"

"But if even you refuse to give up, maybe others may not give up so easily."

“”

She stood there as if someone had choked her breath.

I smiled faintly at her, then closed my eyes again.

I don't know why, with the sound of banging outside, and the noise from afar, I quickly fell asleep, after lunch, I had nothing to do, and then I lay on the couch again, half-asleep and half-awake I could feel that Cai Wei had been guarding my side, carefully shaking the fan for me, and the cool breeze hit, which also made me more and more sleepy.

When the sun set and the light of the sun plated the bamboo forest outside the door with a layer of golden borders, I finally woke up from my sleep, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Pei Yuanxiu walking in from outside.

The light of the setting sun is also on his body, plated with a layer of gold edges, which makes people feel that they can't look up.

He usually takes time to eat with me, either lunch or dinner, and stays here every night, so I was not surprised to see him appear, but Cai Wei's face turned pale all of a sudden, and his hands were helpless behind his back, and he stepped aside.

Pei Yuanxiu didn't look at her, but walked directly to my couch, smiled and said, "Why are you sleeping now?"

I lowered my eyelids: "I didn't sleep well last night." ”

"Is it?"

Listening to this, he hurriedly sat down beside me, reached out and touched my cheek, and said softly: "Is it uncomfortable to have sha, do you want to let Yao Lao come and take a look?"

"No, I'm fine."

As I spoke, I was about to close my eyes again.

His hand rubbed lightly on my face, and said softly, "Don't sleep yet, wait until dinner, and then go to sleep." Also, don't sleep too long in the afternoon, lest you not be able to sleep at night. ”

After speaking, he commanded: "In the future, you must pay attention to it, and serve your wife well." ”

When Cai Wei heard his voice, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up, and hurriedly said, "Yes"

He said so, and I had nothing to say, and he got up from the couch half coaxing and half dragging it out, and the maids had already brought dinner, but some refreshing side dishes, and I used some of them.

After dinner, it was getting dark, and I thought he was going to go to bed, but he suddenly said, "We won't live in the inner courtyard tonight." ”

I looked up at him in surprise
