Volume 1 First Encounter Chapter 2 Contempt
The woman is twenty-two or three years old, dressed in red, with a strong body, comfortable and atmospheric facial features, even if her body is now mud and dirt, and she is torn by a group of people, she can still be seen at a glance.
It's like how Li Jiaoer felt when she first met her.
But no matter how good it is, if you fall into such an embarrassment, it will only be ridiculous.
Li Jiao'er suddenly wondered, was it just as ridiculous that she cried and begged in Xue Zhen's eyes a few days ago?
She lost her mind for a moment, and the woman in red saw the opportunity to break free from the maids, and simply hugged her legs, rubbing her skirt dirty, and cried in anticipation: "Madame, Madame, help me!" β
Li Jiao'er stumbled a little, but fortunately, Yuntuan was busy supporting her.
"Damn, how dare youβ"
Yun Tuan stomped her feet in anger, Li Jiao'er only held the box steadily, glanced back at Yun Tuan, and signaled her not to speak.
Yun Tuan had no choice but to turn his anger into his gaze and glared at the woman in red vigorously.
Li Jiao'er let the woman in red hug and cry, looked down at the top of her head, and asked calmly: "I remember, your surname is Chen?" β
"Yes, yes, the slave's surname is Chen." Chen Niangzi said, holding her legs and continuing to cry, "The slave really has no way to live, so he will ......"
Although she was crying, she was also observing the young lady since Li Jiao'er came out.
She looked as beautiful as she had been ten days ago, with a small round face, a fair complexion, a pair of almond eyes that fell on her without any anger, and she spoke kindly and nicely, without resentment or anger.
Mrs. Chen could even see the two shallow pear vortices on her cheeks.
I'm only eighteen years old.
But the dignified lady of the prince only wore a stone blue half-worn skirt, the sleeves were stained with sawdust, the hair bun was decorated with two beaded hairpins, and the shoes were the most ordinary black satin uppers, not even embroidered.
The dress is not as gorgeous as the county lady in the north, and she is poor and sour.
No matter how poor her appearance is, she is dressed on Li Jiaoer's body, not only does she not look old-fashioned, but she also feels sorry for me.
Mrs. Chen hugged Li Jiaoer's legs and howled, and the corners of her mouth twitched without a trace.
If the husband does not pity her, and the servant woman does not respect her, what is the use of dressing up pitifully?
If she is replaced by her, it will be full of gold, silver, jade, silk, silk, and satin.
Her husband doesn't love herself anymore, and she can't wronged herself.
Chen Niangzi acted while thinking about it, but Li Jiaoer was still amiable, and continued to ask: "You say, do you want to stay in the mansion and serve the prince?" β
Mrs. Chen, who had all kinds of calculations in her heart, thought that Li Jiaoer's tone was too calm compared to her own crying, and she seemed to be hysterical, so she let go of her legs, knelt on the ground abruptly, adjusted her voice, covered her face and continued to cry: "Yes...... Slaves are also cornered......"
Li Jiao'er stopped shouting when she heard her, her voice was softer, and she also had a hint of sympathy, and asked, "Since you are here to serve the prince, why do you ask me instead?" β
Mrs. Chen choked on crying, peeked at Li Jiaoer from between her fingers, and didn't understand what she meant.
Li Jiaoer wrapped the box in the crook of her arm, freed one hand to straighten the corner of her skirt that was torn by her, dusted off the little sawdust, and sighed: "Since you are from the prince's room, he agrees with you to stay, so you can naturally stay, so why do you come to ask me?" β
These words made the servants of the Marquis of Anyang who were interested in watching the excitement be stupid; Li Jiaoer's maids were even more aggrieved by their own young lady, and some even had red eyes when they grabbed Mrs. Chen's little maids.
Mrs. Chen couldn't imagine that Li Jiao'er, who was in a lot of trouble a few days ago, would be able to say such "virtuous" words without jealousy when she saw her again today, and her heart tightened.
What happened?!
Before she could figure it out, Li Jiao'er continued: "What's more, the prince and you even have children, even if I am really a jealous woman, I don't dare to spoil the heirs of the Hou Mansion." β
She was right...... It makes sense!
Mrs. Chen was short of words, and secretly wondered if she would cry again, would it be too fake?
Li Jiao'er only saw that Chen Niangzi's crying gradually stopped, her eyes flickered, and when she said that she moved, she suggested: "It just so happens that I have something to go to Shizi, you go with me, okay?" β
Mrs. Chen's tears were still hanging on her face, looking up at her, timid, very pitiful.
Li Jiao'er saw her shrinking, thinking that she didn't want to go to Xue Zhen so embarrassed, and after a sigh, she walked to Xue Zhen's study.
It's a stupid woman, she thought, if the prince really loves you and loves you, how can she make you make trouble with such an ugly posture every day?
The servants were no longer lively, and they were afraid that Li Jiaoer would be angry, so they dispersed and pretended to work.
Yun Tuan instructed the little maids to watch the door and not allow anyone to go in to make trouble, and then hurriedly followed Li Jiao'er and asked in a low voice: "Madam, these minions treat Madame too disrespectfully." β
Li Jiao'er was too lazy to look at the servants, and only said leisurely: "They are the servants of the Marquis of Anyang, and they are not mine, so why should I care." β
Yun Tuan was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't figure out her thoughts.
Li Jiaoer hugged the box tighter.
It's time to make a break.
*
Along the stone path, Li Jiaoer and Yun Tuan walked all the way to the front of Xue Zhen's study courtyard under the strange eyes of the servants in the courtyard.
The courtyard gate is half open, there is a strange fragrance of flowers and plants escaping with the wind, there is a sprinkler sweeping in front of the courtyard gate, seeing Li Jiaoer coming, panicked and dropped the broom and ran to the courtyard.
Seeing this, Yun Tuan was so angry that he wanted to curse again, but Li Jiaoer was still not angry, and only said before Yun Tuan spoke: "Stand, I want to see the son." β
The little guy turned a deaf ear, and one foot had already stepped into the courtyard.
Yun Tuan relied on his tall legs and long legs, chased after him in a few steps, grabbed the collar of the little girl, and said angrily: "Madame called you, are your ears covered with grass?" β
Although she is Li Jiaoer's personal maid, the Li family is a family of craftsmen and merchants, she can work small, and her strength is naturally great, so the short and thin guy can't move at all, so she has to turn around with a bitter face, and say to Li Jiaoer respectfully but unceremoniously: "Madame, don't be embarrassed, the prince is busy, and he doesn't see guests." β
A few days ago, he didn't watch the door, let his wife into the study, and cried for two days, causing him to suffer a lot of beatings.
Yun Tuan smiled angrily, grabbed his collar and asked on his face: "Who is the guest?" Madame is a serious first-class order, the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Anyang, if my wife is a guest, what is the son-"
"Yun Tuan," Li Jiao'er opened her mouth to stop Yun Tuan's words, her face was still amiable, and the two pear vortex looked deeper because of the smile on the corner of her mouth, "There's no need." β
"Madame!" Yun Tuan grabbed the collar of the little girl, not wanting his young lady to be so wronged.
Li Jiaoer shook her head at her.
She wasn't angryβshe was sad, but she told herself that she was only a little sad.
She and Xue Zhen have never been Qin Se and Ming, she is just a lady of the prince who has been rejected since the day she entered the door, and the servants of the Marquis of Anyang used to respect her because of the county lord's mother-in-law; At this moment, he no longer regards her as the master, but he is just acting in Xue Zhen.
Why should she be angry? How can you be angry?
She remembered the way Mrs. Chen hugged her leg and cried just now.
She didn't want to be like that, and she didn't want to give Xue Zhen an excuse to dispose of the people around her.
Therefore, Li Jiaoer only said to the little girl: "I want to see the prince, and if you refuse to pass it on, then I will go in by myself." β
