79. The past
"Although I am the eldest lady's maid, I am not the son of Yifu. I was a good citizen. My father is a scholar, and my mother is the daughter of my grandfather's old acquaintance. Later, my mother naturally married my father and concentrated on taking care of the family. She respects her in-laws and her husband, and she is a virtuous woman who is praised by everyone. When I was born, my father happened to be a showman. Therefore, my father said that I was a prosperous father, and he loved me very much, and taught me carefully. Our family was very happy and happy. ”
Aunt Shuang seemed to remember the harmonious life of her parents in the past, and said with a smile.
Rong Qiaoyan, Mama Yang and Miaozhi, listening to Aunt Shuang's soft-spoken description, looking at the warm smile on her face, seemed to feel her happiness.
"But when I was three years old, my grandfather died. In order to keep filial piety, my father couldn't go to the autumn festival, so he was in a bad mood. After all, he has been preparing for Qiu Yu for three years. Fortunately, with his mother's gentle and careful company, he reluctantly relieved his heart and continued to study hard. However, when I was five years old, my mother fell seriously ill and passed away. My parents had a deep love for plaice, so my father was very sad, lingered on the sick bed for a long time, and missed the autumn of the second year. My relatives died one after another, and I was unable to participate in the two autumn festivals, wasting six years of good time, so my father felt a little depressed. My grandmother hired a step-room for my father just after the first year of my mother's filial piety. My father had a deep relationship with my mother, so he didn't agree at first. However, my grandmother forced her father to die on the grounds that he had no children. In the end, the father had to agree. The stepmother was originally a young woman, but she married an older widower as her wife, so she naturally didn't like it. It's just that she can't do the words of her parents. Therefore, since she got started, she has always looked at me unpleasantly, and she is picky and difficult for me everywhere. Fortunately, my father is very protective of me and loves me as always. Even though my stepmother was treating me badly in secret, she was still restrained on the bright side. ”
When Aunt Shuang said this, her expression was a little stunned.
She used to think that her life of being treated was the hardest, but what happened later made her feel that what happened before was not bad.
"When I was eight years old, my father died of depression. After the funeral, my stepmother scolded me for being a broom star, and my father and mother were blood relatives. She also said that if I stayed at home, I would definitely get rid of my brother and grandmother. As a result, the grandmother, who was opposed at first, also hesitated. When my grandmother hesitated, my stepmother quickly cut through the mess and sold me to Yapo. Ya Po saw that I was young and pitiful, and helped me choose a family with a very good reputation, which was the eldest lady's maiden home, Yifu. After I entered the house, I didn't be lazy and slippery, and I didn't dare to slack off in my serious work. Start with a handy maid. Later, because I was literate and knowledgeable, I was chosen to be in the courtyard of the eldest lady. From the rough maid to the third-class maid, and later to the second-class maid. When the eldest lady was about to get married, she released the older first-class maids, and selected two people from the second-class to make up for the first-class shortcomings, plus the two maids given by Mrs. Yi, and made up four big maids to marry, including me. I followed the eldest lady to the Rong Mansion, still loyal to the Lord and diligent in my work. The eldest lady also trusts me very much. She told me that when I was twenty years old, she would return my deed and let me go out of the house and get married. I was moved and full of hope, so I became even more loyal to the eldest lady. However, when I was twenty years old, the eldest lord had a noble concubine, Aunt Zhao, an aunt who had been serving the eldest lord since childhood, and newcomers who came in from time to time to compete with his wife for favor. Madame is really struggling, so let me help her for another two years, and release me later. I was very grateful to the eldest lady, so I naturally agreed. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Frost's eyes moistened again.
At the beginning, she was also a sincere and loyal servant.
"However, in my twenty-first year, one day my wife suddenly told me that she was reluctant to leave her, and asked me if it was okay for me to be my lord's aunt? Naturally, I refused. Because I have always trusted the eldest lady, I also said what I thought. said that he didn't want to be a concubine, and he didn't want to make the eldest lady sad. The eldest lady was very moved at that time. I thought it was over. But who knows, one day two months later, the lord was drunk at a party, and the eldest lady arranged for me to serve the lord to rest in the wing. As a result, as a result, the lord 。。。。。。 me ”
Aunt Frost finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"Naturally, I struggled and refused, and I shouted for help. But how can a woman's strength be greater than that of a man? And no one in the courtyard came. After the incident, I was so devastated that I wanted to die. Later, a maid who was good friends with me couldn't bear to see me like this, so she secretly told me the truth. It turned out that the eldest man suddenly changed his hobbies at that time and liked the so-called elegant people like me. However, I myself was unwilling to serve the master, so the eldest lady gave me to the master in order to please the master. The people in the courtyard were all taken away by the eldest lady, so no one saved me. ”
Aunt Frost seemed to have cried enough, leaving only a stomach full of sorrow.
Rong Qiaoyan, Mama Yang and the others heard it, but they couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
Loyal, dedicated, and trusting masters, but the designer has become the last thing he wants to do.
Who else is it, I'm afraid I can't stand it, right?
So, how can you not be sad?
"I learned the truth, and I was surprised and incredulous. However, it didn't take long for Mama Yi to persuade me. She said that since the incident has happened, even if she dies, it is useless, it is better to do a room according to the request of the eldest lady and help the eldest lady to fix her favor. She also mentioned that I still have a younger brother after all. If you do it well, you may be able to pull your mother's family in the future. ”
Aunt Shuang no longer had tears on her face at this time, but said lightly.
Rong Qiaoyan opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Aunt Shuang seemed to understand what Rong Qiaoyan wanted to ask, and then spoke again.
"I wasn't very old at the time, but I wasn't stupid. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been a big girl for so long. I listened to Mama Yi's words, so I said that I was sorry for the eldest lady and lived a shameless life, but I didn't say much else. When Mama Yi saw that I was obsessed and bent on death, she impatiently and secretly threatened me with my brother. Although my brother was born by my stepmother, and I hate my stepmother for betraying me, he is my father's only male heir after all. At that time, I couldn't think of any other way, and I thought of my father's kindness to me, so I humiliated and agreed. According to the request of the eldest lady, I made the master's room, served the master wholeheartedly, and left the master in the courtyard of the eldest lady many times. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Shuang seemed to think of the fate of her Israelite servant, and couldn't help but sob.
There was silence in the room.
"How is my uncle doing now?"
After a long time, Rong Qiaoyan broke the silence and asked about the uncle who had never heard of it.
