Chapter 009: What a pity
On the way to the middle courtyard, the people saw Hua Sitong being taken to the middle courtyard, and immediately gathered together to talk to each other.
"The old city lord has returned home, and the identity and status of the stinky girl will be different from the past, maybe she will become our city lord's wife in a while."
"I heard that the little boy was beaten by the old city lord with a hundred boards and put in a dungeon because he bullied her. In the future, I am afraid that no one will bully her in the house again, and those who have bullied her should also be careful, maybe she will retaliate. ”
"Hmph, I think you're thinking too much, a stinky girl with no status also wants to be the wife of the city lord? It also depends on whether the old lady agrees. ”
"The old lady has always looked down on her, and it is impossible to agree to her to marry the lord of the city. The old city lord didn't really want to punish the little boy, a hundred big boards sounded terrible, but for the little boy who was a martial artist and an awakened master, in addition to losing face, it was a small punishment that didn't hurt at all. ”
Hua Sitong was not surprised to hear Ji Mingxian's punishment of Ji Ling'an.
Ji Ling'an's mother Yuan Pingwan is not only the wife of the old city lord of the troubled city, but also the daughter of the city lord of Jincheng, and she is also a fifth-level spiritual master respected by everyone.
At this time, Mrs. Huang stopped.
Hua Sitong raised his eyes and looked at the plaque at the door of the courtyard in front of him, which read: Jianqi Temple
She raised her eyebrows, according to the description of "Chengshenlu", Jianqi Courtyard is the courtyard of Jilingjian.
Snort –
She and Ji Lingjian have not yet married, but they are arranged in the same courtyard, which is unreasonable.
But in order to convince everyone that he really wanted his child daughter-in-law and son to become his own son, Ji Mingxian actually arranged her and Ji Lingjian together.
In order to increase the trust of the guards, Ji Mingxian can really use any means.
In the original work, Ji Mingxian also had such a plan, but the original owner was too timid, and he couldn't help but tremble with fear when he saw Ji Mingxian or Ji Lingjian, and once he fainted because he saw Ji Lingjian's subordinates being whipped by punishment.
Seeing that the child's daughter-in-law was so unfrightened, Ji Mingxian could only dispel the idea of letting the child's daughter-in-law live in the same hospital as Jilingjian.
Aunt Huang smiled at the guards guarding the courtyard gate and said: "Two little brothers, the old slave was sent to death on the orders of the old city lord and the old lady, cough, and sent Miss Sitong to live in Jianqi Courtyard. ”
Before they came, the city lord's personal guard Bu Xingchao had informed them of this matter, and he did not prevent them from entering.
Behind the gate of Jianqi Courtyard is a white jade screen that blocks the scenery of the inner courtyard, on which a bamboo forest is carved. Behind the screen, there is a large area of clear water, flanked by a verandah that leads into the courtyard, and at the end of the verandah is a three-story pavilion.
There are only two male servants cleaning the inner courtyard in the courtyard, no one talks, and the environment is very quiet.
Hua Sitong likes to go to the Jianqi courtyard when he enters the door, and the courtyard gives people a feeling of seclusion as the name of the courtyard.
When Mrs. Huang saw the young man standing at the end of the verandah, the smile on her face widened: "Step guard." ”
Bu Xingchao said in a deep voice: "People stay, others leave." ”
"The old slave will leave now." Aunt Huang didn't dare to provoke Bu Xingchao, so she quickly turned around and left.
Bu Xingchao pointed at Yahuan and said, "You also leave." ”
Yahuan hurriedly identified herself: "The slave maid is the maid sent by the old lady to serve Miss Si Tong." ”
Bu Xingchao didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he lowered his face: "Get out." ”
Yahuan staggered in fright and took several steps back: "I, I'm ......"
Bu Xingchao said coldly: "My master only agrees that the flower girl will stay in the Jianqi Courtyard alone. ”
"Let's leave." Aunt Huang hurriedly poured back and pulled Yahuan away.
Hua Sitong looked at their distant backs, and said slightly: "It's a pity." ”
It's a pity that I can't stay by my side and toss them hard.
Bu Xingchao looked at her and made a gesture of invitation to her: "Girl, please." ”
Hua Sitong followed him to one of the rooms in a row of bungalows across the pavilion.
"Flower girl, the master doesn't like to be close to women, so there is no messenger in the yard, and you have to do some things yourself. And there are two rules in our yard, the first is not to make loud noises, and the second is to have permission to enter the pavilion opposite, do you understand? Bu Xingchao used up his life's patience to explain the situation to Hua Sitong.
If it weren't for the fact that Hua Sitong's father was his respected predecessor, and he sacrificed to protect the old city lord, and he had heard many times that Hua Sitong was not living a good life in the backyard, he would not have helped the old city lord to say good things for Hua Sitong in front of the city lord.
Ji Lingjian also agreed to Hua Sitong to move to Jianqi Courtyard for the sake of him and other guards helping to speak.
Now that I see Hua Sitong's appearance, it is really more miserable than my subordinates. At least the subordinate's dress was clean and intact, her hair was neat, and her face was ruddy, unlike her, who was as thin as a beggar and fell when the wind blew.
However, the backyard is full of old lady's people, and all the good news that comes out of the backyard is good, and the old city lord's personal guards and guards mistakenly thought that Hua Sitong was doing well, and they didn't expect the old lady to be so harsh on Hua Sitong. Even he didn't expect the old lady to be so unkind to see a little girl, so every time he heard bad news about Hua Sitong, he thought it was a miscommunication, and the master didn't order them to meddle in Hua Sitong's affairs, so he didn't care.
"Got it." Hua Sitong inspected the environment of the room, and there were thirty sets of women's dresses made of brocade and wool cloaks of various colors in the large closet. In addition, the dresser also has a large box of fine jewelry and rouge gouache, which are used to match the dresses in the cabinet.
At the moment, it is impossible to live in the best house and wear the best dress, but it is okay to get by. One day, she will live the best life that a child bride wants.
Bu Xingchao watched Hua Sitong's calloused hands caress the jewelry, and his heart couldn't help but soften, if Hua Sitong's parents were still there, she would definitely be able to live a better life.
After all, her parents are also awakened masters, and they are the guards of the old city lord, and each of them has more than a thousand taels of silver per month. If you take a break, you can still take private work to earn silver, so that your daughter can live a rich life, so that she will not have a piece of jewelry on her body, and she will be dressed in tatters.
Bu Xingchao softened his tone: "If you feel dissatisfied or need help, you can tell me or come to me, I will try my best to help you." ”
Hana Sitong looked at him with some surprise.
In the Buxing Dynasty in the original book, he never gave a good face to his daughter-in-law.
However, it was all caused by the child daughter-in-law, she wanted to kill Ji Lingjian many times, and it was understandable that Bu Xingchao hated her.
"Ah Chao, is the flower girl here?" An honest-looking man ran in excitedly, and when he saw a tattered Hua Sitong, he was stunned: "She is Miss Sitong?" ”
Yuan General.
Hua Sitong saw the comer, and his eyes increased and jumped a few times.
At the beginning, the news of Ji Lingjian's death was brought to her by General Yuan.
After that, General Yuan kept his promise to stay in front of her tomb for Ji Lingjian, cleaned the cemetery for her every day, and nagged Ji Lingjian in front of the tomb about what happened before his death.
Although he did not die with Ji Lingjian, he was also seriously injured. One day, after ten years in front of her grave, he could no longer hold it and died next to her grave.
She watched his body decompose, his bones rotted into mud, and finally his clothes rotted, and the man disappeared from her eyes completely, and she couldn't help him collect it.
Bu Xingchao reprimanded: "General, don't scare the flower girl." ”
"Is she really Miss Hanajitong?" Yuan Jiang looked at Hua Sitong in disbelief: "Didn't everyone say that the flower girl has a good life, she lives a life of fine clothes and jade food every day, and there are a large number of servants to serve her, and what she wants, the old lady depends on her?" But she, she'......"
It was really difficult for him to associate the person in front of him with the rumored Hua Sitong.
Hua Sitong sneered: "What you see with your own eyes may not be true, let alone what you hear." ”
If she hadn't acted in a bullied scene in front of Ji Mingxian, she would have lived in the firewood room for a long time.
Buxing Dynasty, Yuan General: "......"
Hua Sitong changed the subject: "I'm hungry." ”
The general hurriedly said, "I'll go and get you something to eat." ”
He was afraid that Hua Sitong would not be able to eat enough, so he brought a large table of dishes.
If it were usual, Bu Xingchao would definitely say that Yuan Jiang was wasteful, but now he also longed for Hua Sitong to eat more and raise himself to be fat for nothing.
Hana Sitong sat down and picked up chopsticks and asked, "Do you want to eat together?" ”
Bu Xingchao said: "We have already eaten. ”
Hua Sitong was no longer polite to them, and picked up a piece of pork and put it in his mouth: "What is Ji Lingjian doing now?" ”
Bu Xing was stunned when they heard her call the city lord's name.
"The master is asking Dr. Liu to show him the injuries on his hands." Speaking of this matter, General Yuan couldn't help but complain: "Ah Chao, where did you say that the master disappeared for more than a month?" Why is the flesh of the fingers so rotten that it is as terrible as mud meat, do you think it is the master's enemy who hurts the master like this? If it was really the enemy who was injured, Lao Tzu would definitely kill him. ”
Hua Sitong's chopsticks paused slightly, if she told them that Ji Lingjian's hands were dug up for her rival, would they believe it?
Bu Xingchao coldly swept the general: "I don't know, the master's affairs can't be our turn." ”
General: "......"
Hua Sitong asked them, "You just said that Doctor Liu was showing Ji Lingjian the injuries on his hands?" ”
"Yes."
Hua Sitong remembered that "Chengshenlu" mentioned that Doctor Liu had already been bought by Jinan Xing, and the injury medicine he prescribed would only make Ji Lingjian's hand worse and worse.
She picked up a piece of fish and said as she ate it, "It must hurt if your fingers are rotten into a mash...... By the way, I heard that Baihuadan can reduce swelling and relieve pain, but it should not be applied for more than two quarters of an hour every day, and it should not be excessive, otherwise the skin will be broken or poisoned. ”
"Really?" General Yuan said excitedly: "I'll go and tell the master." ”
Bu Xingchao also wanted to know how his master's injuries were, and he also left the room.
Hua Sitong hooked the corners of her lips and continued to eat.
