Chapter 1: Pity
Shengjing, the county lord's mansion, Liuzhen Pavilion.
The celadon smoker in the shape of a spirit monkey holding a peach is placed in the soothing incense prepared by the Taiyi, and the wisps of light smoke are like silk and mist, looming, and the taste is fresh and far-reaching, which makes people forget the vulgarity.
The rosewood bed is hung with two layers of veils, one layer of plain yarn is as thin as cicada wings, and one layer of gold is dyed with peony flowers, which ensures breathability and coolness at the same time, and lives up to its reputation of an inch of yarn and an inch of gold.
Eight servants waited cautiously on either side of the bed, not daring to relax for a moment, waiting for their master's orders.
And everything that shows favor and arrogance has nothing to do with Ah Candle.
Even, she just glanced at it twice, and in the eyes of the county lord of Ruyi, it became evidence of the crime of coveting her things.
is really a country girl, she can't get on the stage, she doesn't look in the mirror to see what kind of person she is, and she still wants to think about her things, why didn't she fall off the horse and kill her!
The county lord of Ruyi endured the anger and stared at Ah Zhu through the veil, and his thin white fingers grabbed the silk sheet under him, almost tearing it apart.
The old lady who has been serving the county lord since she was a child is most familiar with the mind of the little master, and naturally she is not pleasing to the eye at Ah Candle.
"Qin Niangzi, you just came to Shengjing, you should learn the rules carefully, otherwise you will make people laugh after you leave the house, it doesn't matter if you lose your face, but you have to make people laugh at even the county lord."
This is obviously polite, but in fact, people with ears can hear the sarcastic words, which really makes the Ruyi county lord in the veil feel better.
"I am A-Niang's biological daughter, so naturally I have to think about A-Niang in everything. This kind of truth that even the lowliest people in the house understand, Qin Niangzi, you don't understand, right? β
In a word, directly compare A Candle to a subordinate.
Ah Candle touched the white cloth wrapped around his forehead, and realized in his heart: Ruyi County Lord is obviously unwilling that Qin Candle did not fall off the horse and fell to his death, and he is thinking about grinding people!
But what she didn't know was that, in a sense, her purpose had been achieved.
Qin Candle, who was unsuspecting of Ruyi's half-sister and happily went to the appointment to learn to ride a horse with her, but fell off the horse and was injured by mistake in the trap she arranged, and died alone late last night.
Yes!
Ah Candle is not the original owner of this body!
She was originally a little princess hundreds of years later, a baby bump held in the palm of her hand by her father, mother, sister and brother, who died early due to illness when she was young, and inexplicably passed through a hundred years of time and was attached to the poor little child Qin Zhu who had just choked.
Qin Zhu has been living in a relative's house in the countryside since he can remember, and it is common for him to be bullied and abused by his cousin and cousin, and he was just picked up by the county lord's mother half a month ago, and he doesn't know anything about the open and secret battles of high-ranking families.
But Ah Candle knows everything, she has seen all kinds of people in the palace in her previous life, and the little trick of the county lord Ruyi can't get into her eyes.
She smiled and asked, "I understand, so what rules do I have to learn?" β
The county lord of Ruyi spoke with satisfaction: "Mama, teach her how to bow first." β
"Yes." Mama said coldly: "Qin Niangzi, the most important thing you should learn is etiquette." Our county lord is personally sealed by His Majesty, and Qin Niangzi has to kneel three times and knock nine times to see him. β
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "poof" laugh.
Everyone in the room looked towards Ah Candle, only to see her pursing her lips, as if trying to suppress the upward arc of her mouth.
The county lord of Ruyi gritted his teeth, "You are so uneducated......"
She was halfway through her sentence when she was interrupted by Ah Candle.
"Mama has never read a book, she can't read a single big word, and her knowledge is shallow. But the county lord has invited the master to teach her, and she should know that these three kneeling and nine knocking are against heaven, earth, king, teacher, and father. β
Ah Candle raised her eyes and smiled to herself: "What does Mama mean by this...... The county lord is as noble as His Majesty?."
The county lord of Ruyi hurriedly scolded her: "You stop me!" β
Ah Candle obediently shut up.
This Ruyi county lord wants to use such a thing as three kneeling and nine knocks to cure her? She dares to kneel, does the county lord of Ruyi dare to admit that she is as noble as the emperor?
The county lord of Ruyi was very angry: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have become sharp-toothed, if you go outside, you will be so open-mouthed, maybe people will say that A-Niang will not raise children." β
Ah Candle's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he smiled sweetly at the county lord of Ruyi, revealing a smug cuteness.
"This is not bothering the county lord. A-Niang said, do whatever I want, say whatever you want, don't be wronged is the most important thing. β
"Whoa!"
The sound of the fabric being torn apart from within the veil was heard.
Candle: Oh! She's in a hurry, she's in a hurry!
"That's Ah Niang, look at you pitiful. If you are smarter, you should repay your kindness, take the initiative to learn some etiquette, change your petty family spirit, and save yourself from making uneducated actions, so that outsiders can laugh at the people in the county lord's mansion for being mud legs! β
Ah Candle calmly said "oh" and didn't buy it.
"However, the county lord's words are so vulgar that he has not been laughed at, so I don't have to worry about it."
"You!"
Ah Candle's pair of Danfeng eyes were clear and bright, and she looked at the county lord of Ruyi with a smile, and deliberately inserted a knife into her heart.
"Moreover, A-Niang also said that she will go out in the past few days to see a good family for me, and I heard that the other party is the Erlangjun of the Jiujiang Xi family."
"Slut!"
The county lord of Ruyi was instantly angered by this sentence, and the string called reason in his mind was completely broken with a "bang", and the jade pillow was smashed towards Ah Candle fiercely.
No one in the whole Shengjing knows that she has liked Erlang Jun Xi Lan of Jiujiang Xi since she was a child, and she invited Erlang Jun to the mansion several times as a guest by the county lord of Ancheng, just to talk about the marriage of the two, but she was always disappointed.
Ah Candle had expected it, deftly dodged, and "snorted", and continued to arch the fire: "I can warn you, Ah Niang is the most hurting me now, if you let me be hurt a little more, be careful that Ah Niang comes back and scolds you again." β
"What are you? is also worthy of being A-Niang's daughter? The county lord of Ruyi sneered, finally revealed his true colors, and cursed viciously.
"If it weren't for A-Niang seeing you pitiful and rewarding you with a bite to eat, you would still be in the countryside unclothed and starving, like a mouse in the gutter. Do you really think of yourself as a thing now? It's ridiculous. But when you go out, others think it's a pariah somewhere wearing stolen clothes on your body, nondescript, and full of the sour smell of poverty. β
Ah Candle looked surprised.
Oh my God, you want to make her die of shame with a few words?
She's so naΓ―ve!
It's stupid and bad!
The stupid and bad Ruyi County Lord stared at Ah Candle, with a thick hatred in his eyes: "Since you have eyes, you should take a good look in the mirror and see what kind of shitty you are." You also deserve Xiao and want to Xi Erlangjun? β
"I'm telling you, Xi Erlangjun can only be my husband. If you are willing to kneel down honestly and admit your mistakes now, and slap yourself twenty more times, maybe when I marry Xi Erlangjun, I will be in a good mood, and I will also find a concubine of the Jiujiang Xi family for you. β
"The sun is all on your ass, and you're still daydreaming."
Ah Candle let out a "sigh" in the murderous gaze behind the veil, not afraid of adding fuel to the fire to death, and didn't take her in his eyes at all.
"Even if you put gold on your face again, Xi Erlangjun will not be able to take a fancy to you! What does he want from you? Figure you are lazy, figure you bad, figure you born like this? β
