Chapter 315: Nails
Lan Xin started as a third-class girl, worked hard and was cautious, and finally climbed to the position of the big girl, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't compare to the green peach whose mother was the little marquis's nurse in front of the master.
But this is also a helpless thing, who let her have no one to help her in the house.
However, Lan Xin didn't take it to heart at first, because she didn't plan to be a maid for the rest of her life, she worked hard, and she just wanted to save more money for her brother to study. She hopes that her brother can make a name for himself in the exam, and then she will be able to become an official lady.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Xu Fang tried repeatedly, and gave birth to the idea of giving up studying, and the blue-hearted young lady's dream was about to be shattered, so she had to make preparations with both hands, while persuading Xu Fang to try again, and on the other hand, she put her mind on her own errand.
She said: "If my brother can't go through the road of studying, the slave and maid can only rely on the county lord if they want to have a good way out, but Jin Ling, Yinling and Green Peach have people to help them in the house, no matter how hard the slave and maid are, they can't get in front of them, so the slave and maid can only secretly manage their own connections." But if the slave maid does not have a prominent point, it is not enough to achieve the purpose of winning people's hearts, and the green peach happens to have some contradictions with the little girls. ”
Although the words and deeds of the green peach are severe, the rewards and punishments are clear, and they are not disgusted.
But Lan Xin must use this to highlight his kindness.
So she secretly provoked the relationship between everyone and Green Peach, magnifying the small contradictions, and gradually, everyone's impression of Green Peach changed from strict to mean.
And she has become a caring and kind person in the eyes of the girls.
"The girls are willing to be close to me, and no matter what the slaves and maids do, they will be praised and sought after, and the county lord's rewards for the slaves and maids have also become more. The slave saw that this was effective, and the more she targeted the green peach, the more the green peach was excluded, the better the slave's popularity! ”
When the county lord of Rongling heard this, he couldn't help but scold: "Despicable! ”
Lan Xin was not convinced, "They don't need to be very careful to get the attention of the master, but the slave maid has to pay several times the effort, which is unfair in itself, the slave and maid play some small tricks, just to help themselves, and it does not harm the interests of others, even the green peach, there is no loss, the county lord still spoils her the same, she is just scolded by the girls a few more words." ”
Li Qingyi heard such an argument for the first time, looked at her and said, "But how do you know that Green Peach will not be sad because of being excluded?" ”
Lan Xin sighed, "Sad and sad will not lack a piece of meat, isn't the slave secretly just as resentful, helpless and depressed?" ”
Changning was speechless, "You are depressed, it's your own reason, Green Peach is sad and sad, but it was caused by you, how can this be the same!" ”
Lan Xin disdainfully, "It's just a trivial matter." ”
Lord Rongling was furious, "A trivial matter? It seems that in your eyes, only killing people is a big deal! ”
"The slave didn't want to kill the green peach, but ......," Lan Xin pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before she said, "Originally, I had already accepted the current situation, but Mother Zhong suddenly died of illness at this time. ”
The death of Zhong's mother brought a ripple to the peaceful and orderly days.
When Green Peach buried her head in her knees, she cried and said to Lan Xin, "From now on, I will have no relatives." ”
Lan Xin suddenly realizes that Green Peach's situation has become the same as her.
Although the love of the past is still there, Mother Zhong is gone after all, and the role of a dead person is of course not as big as a living person.
"Green Peach didn't want to live because of the pain of Mother Zhong's death, so I took the initiative to take some of her errands to myself, and I was so tired that my legs and feet shook every day, just to get a compliment from the county lord. The county lord really attached more importance to the slave maid, and the messenger who was only allowed to do it in the past was gradually handed over to the slave maid. The slave maid was secretly happy, feeling that the coming day was promising, but the county lord suddenly said that he would accept the green peach as a righteous daughter, and he would find a small official for her to be her husband. ”
Lan Xin said this and gritted her teeth unconsciously, "The slave's efforts have failed again, and Green Peach still doesn't have to do anything, so she was properly arranged by the county lord, but Green Peach is not satisfied, and even told me that she doesn't know whether she should marry out of the mansion!" ”
When the county lord of Rongling heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Qingyi.
They guessed right.
Green Peach really hesitated on the issue of going to stay.
But she definitely didn't know that her thoughts like this greatly stimulated Lan Xin.
What Lan Xin couldn't ask for, Green Peach easily got it, but said that he didn't know whether he should ask for it or not!
"At that moment, the slave and maid hated the green peach very much! However, because the people around him had nowhere to vent, he took a day off with the county lord and went out to visit relatives. I ran to a place where there was no one and cried fiercely, scolded the green peach, and threw the little doll with the green peach's birthday on the ground and trampled it fiercely! Originally, I just wanted to vent, but who would have thought that this scene would be seen! ”
The county lord of Rongling knew that the point was coming, and immediately asked, "Who saw it?" ”
Lan Xin's expression was gloomy, "It's a man and a woman, they are all wearing hats, and the slave doesn't see the face." The woman's voice sounded about the same age as a slave, and the man, who was five big and three thick, stood behind her and did not speak. ”
The county lord of Rongling frowned, very dazed, obviously not having the slightest guess about the origin of this man and woman, "They threatened you?" ”
Lan Xin's face was ugly: "The woman picked up the little puppet on the ground and said that it was a technique of disgust with victory, and it was known that she was going to cut off her head, and she used this as a threat to let me steal the short arrow of the little marquis." ”
Lord Rongling was puzzled, "If you report the matter to me, I may not be able to resolve the matter." ”
Lan Xin looked up at her, "Really? If someone really presses the slave and maid to go back to the house, saying that the slave and maid are tired of winning, will the county lord really act as if nothing happened and settle the matter for the slave and maid? ”
Lord Rongling was silent.
If such a thing really happened, she might not ask for Lan Xin's life, but she would not let Lan Xin serve by her side again.
Then everything that Lan Xin has been doing all this time will be in vain.
Lan Xin smiled bitterly, "The slave expected the county lord's reaction, so after the other party promised enough benefits, she agreed. ”
"What good did they give you?"
"Three thousand taels, the other party first gave the slave maid 1,500 taels, and the remaining half was handed over to the slave and maid after the promise was completed."
"Three thousand taels, let you betray your master and frame Yang'er?"
"Three thousand taels is nothing for the county lord, but for the slave maid, it is enough to spend half a lifetime. And the slave maid felt that if there was a pleading between the marquis and the county lord, even if the little marquis really killed someone, he would not be sentenced to death, not to mention that the third lord of Lin was so good, he couldn't wait to exchange this matter for some benefits, and it was impossible to be aggressive and insist on the life of the little marquis. ”
The county lord of Rongling didn't know whether to scold her for doing something, or praise her for being smart, "You can figure it out!" But why did you kill the green peach! ”
"The slave accidentally broke her fingernails while stealing the arrow, but the slave was too nervous to notice it until she gave the arrow to the man and returned to her quarters. The slave didn't know where the nails were broken, so she immediately cut all the nails short, and wanted to go to the little marquis's study to search again, but the slave didn't find a chance yet, so Lin San took a short arrow to Dali Temple to knock on the drum, and the green peach ran to the little marquis's study to check for the first time, and suddenly found half of the slave's broken nails. ”
Although the girls in the house can't dress up too much, they will try their best to dress up within the scope of permission.
A big girl like Lan Xin, who doesn't need to do any rough work on weekdays, will keep her nails in a beautiful shape and dye them with impatiens juice, so that her fingers are slender and slender, which is very good-looking.
"There are two impatiens in the county lord's room, and the slaves and maids will collect the petals and mash the nails on weekdays, but everyone likes to use pink impatiens, but that day I had a whim, and used purple impatiens juice, which was slightly blue on the nails, because the slave maid had a 'blue' in his name, so it was fresh and not washed off. Who knows, it's so unfortunate...... Caught up with this thing. ”
Where would the lord of Rongling pay attention to what the girls' nails look like, Wen Yan looked at Jin Ling Yinling.
The two girls had long been shocked by what Lan Xin said, and when they saw the inquiring eyes of their masters, they only nodded, almost speechless.
Lord Rongling asked Lan Xin again, "Since Green Peach has found evidence, why didn't he report it as soon as possible?" Did you stop her? ”
Lan Xin smiled self-deprecatingly, "The slave secretly makes small moves to squeeze out Green Peach, but Mingli is her confidant handkerchief, Green Peach finds something suspicious, so naturally she has to ask me what is going on first." I said that I accidentally broke my nails in the past, so I simply cut them all off, and someone must have picked up my nails and wanted to blame me. ”
Hearing this, the county lord of Rongling sneered: "You are a good debater!" ”
Lan Xin lowered his eyes, "Green Peach believed what I said, and decided to secretly investigate the real murderer, but I couldn't wait any longer, I took the opportunity to go out of the house to buy something and went home to tell my brother about it, I knew that he would definitely not agree with me to kill Green Peach, so I simply told him, I have killed Green Peach, if he doesn't help me transport the body out of the house, I will die next." ”
My brother couldn't do it, so I had to agree. So I put a little croton in the green peach's food that night, and the green peach got up in the middle of the night to go to the thatched house, and after she went out, I lit the tonka in the incense burner, and then followed her out. ”
When the county lord of Rongling heard this, he couldn't help but cover his chest, and Li Qingyi asked for her: "How did you kill the green peach?" ”
Lan Xin seemed to think of the situation at that time, and she couldn't control it.
The slave first knocked her unconscious with the mallet of her laundry, and then covered her mouth and nose, causing her to suffocate to death...... Then the slave maid put her into the night incense bucket, and in the early morning, my brother took the place of Aunt Wang to collect the night incense, and took the body out of the city, and everything went smoothly, so smoothly that I thought God was helping me......"
