Chapter 10: Upside down

Facing Li Xiaojun's distrustful gaze, Li Zhenli was a little confused, but quickly confessed, "Good girl, it seems that you really don't remember anything." Although you have fallen into the dust, you have always been self-reliant as an official lady, and you have never gone downstairs here for eight years, and you are more disciplined than many young ladies from large families. ”

If you don't go downstairs for eight years, what's the difference between going to jail?

Li Xiaojun's face was full of question marks, and she said in her heart that she was also an official eunuch, although she also maintained the necessary pride, but she had traveled to more than 100 countries around the world in just over 30 years, and her life was much more nourishing than her.

Li Zhenli saw that she didn't believe it, so she pointed at Cuiyun and said, "I don't believe you asked Cuiyun." ”

Cuiyun nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes!" The maid has served the young lady for ten years, and before the young lady left the cabinet, the maid has never seen the young lady go downstairs, let alone a foreign man. ”

Li Xiaojun was completely confused, he suddenly thought of Hou Chaozhong, and asked rhetorically, "What about Hou Gongzi?" How did I meet him? ”

Li Zhenli saw that although her face was angry, she was more dazed, so she sighed and explained, "It seems that you have indeed forgotten everything before, and now there is still a little time, so my mother will tell you carefully." Hou Gongzi is a native of Henan Guide Mansion, he was born in a family of eunuchs, few talents, the year before last to Nanjing travel, want to find a bosom friend outside the room, on behalf of the Yang master to investigate. ”

Li Zhenli finally stabilized Li Xiaojun, and began to tell the history of the mother and daughter as revolutionaries: "Master Yang has been lingering in the old courtyard for a long time, and he knows that you are a good woman, so he told him about it. I listened to Mr. Yang's words, and met Hou Gongzi again, and saw that he was a graceful person, with good character and knowledge, and he was the head of the Restoration Society. But Hou Gongzi's home is in Henan, and there are thieves over there, and he doesn't have much property with him. As a mother, you are a daughter, even if Hou Gongzi is suave, it is impossible to deal with him in vain. ”

Li Xiaojun was ignorant, but he still knew the general idea of the matter - it turned out that Hou Gongzi couldn't afford the bride price.

It's just that if you're going to marry your daughter, don't you ask my opinion?

Li Zhenli didn't notice the difference in her face at all, in this era, children's marriages are all the words of the parents, and the parties have little right to speak.

"However, things soon took a turn for the better, and Hou Gongzi soon came to the door again, and brought three hundred taels of makeup and silver, so that his mother saw that he was so sincere."

Li Xiaojun said in his heart that if he was sincere or not, it was just that the bride price was enough.

However, how much is 300 taels?

She was about to ask, but Li Zhenli said again, "After you and Hou Gongzi achieved good things, although they are not married to Ming Media, they are also like newlyweds, and they are full of affection, and the entire Qinhuai Old Courtyard praises you as a loving couple." ”

It turned out that she was a third child, she had already heard Cuiyun talk about this paragraph just now, and now that she had obtained the identity verification, her heart sank to the bottom. Because of her father's amorous nature, she has been shrouded in the shadow of San'er since she was a child, and the one she hates the most in her life is Xiao San'er.

Isn't she a chaste martyr? Didn't you go downstairs in eight years? How can you be willing to be a junior for others?

Li Xiaojun wanted to ask, but Li Zhenli was completely immersed in that beautiful marriage and didn't notice his abnormality at all.

Li Xiaojun had a stomach full of questions and asked a question she was most concerned about, "How did I offend Ruan Dacheng, and he wanted to harm me like this?" ”

"Ahem......" Li Zhenli let out a long breath, and quickly solved the mystery, "On the begging festival after you got married, Master Yang came to Meixianglou for a banquet, and you and Hou Gongzi also accompanied you, and when we were having a good time, Ruan Huzi suddenly came over and said that he wanted to have a banquet together." Ruan Huzi is a remnant of the eunuch party, and his reputation is very stinky, and no one in Jiangnan wants to associate with him. Hou Gongzi is a giant of the Restoration Society, and sooner or later he will have to gain fame, how can he get involved with him, and how can he be an official after his reputation is tarnished? He was about to leave the table to avoid it, but Master Yang grabbed him and said that he might as well meet him. Of course, Hou Gongzi refused, but Master Yang insisted on seeing him. Hou Gongzi was a little annoyed when he couldn't get out, and then Master Yang told the truth, it turned out that his three hundred taels of makeup silver turned out to be from this Ruan beard. ”

Li Zhenli thought that Li Xiaojun would be shocked, but she didn't expect that she would just be stunned for a moment and regain her composure. She didn't know that she was also born in the family of the eunuch, and this kind of wool came out of pigs, and it was common for dogs to pay for it, and her father often did it. For example, she didn't pay for her overseas exchange in high school and college, and she didn't know who paid for her brand-name bags, cosmetics, and mustang cars!

Li Zhenli paused and continued, "Hou Gongzi was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, 'Xuezhai, because I was short of money for a while, it was difficult to get together the money for the makeup, why did I borrow the silver from you again, why did I pull Ruan's beard again? But Master Yang said, "No, no, Chaozong, this silver is not from me, but from Yuanhai." Yuanhai has long intended to befriend you, so he gave you this generous gift. ’”

Speaking of this, she turned her head to the side, "It turns out that Ruan Huzi also knows that he has a bad reputation, especially after the publication of the "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos and Public Disclosure", he can't stay in Nanjing. But it was not a way to live in a grass hut outside the city all the time, so I thought about befriending Hou Gongzi through Master Yang and asking him to help him say a few words in the Restoration Society. Hou Gongzi knew what was going on, and he was a little difficult for a while, so he didn't refuse or agree. Later, when you learned about it, you persuaded Hou Gongzi to cherish his reputation and return the money. Hou Gongzi listened to your words, and made up a sum of money and returned it to him. ”

Li Xiaojun's heart sank to the bottom, no wonder Ruan Dacheng wanted to take revenge on himself, it turned out that he also played a disgraceful role in it.

Li Xiangjun, Li Xiangjun, are you stupid, why do you bother with these idle things, isn't it fragrant to make money well?

Li Zhenli saw her look of chagrin, and couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, "Hou Gongzi lives here, how can there be so much silver, and after a few days, he only got more than a hundred taels, or did you beg me to take out the unused makeup silver to make it up." ”

I'll go, and I'll post it upside down!

Li Xiaojun was struck by lightning, and said in his heart that this Li Xiangjun is too stupid, co-authoring this bullshit Hou Gongzi is not only a prostitute in vain, but he also posted it upside down.

Ah, that's the stupidest woman in the world, isn't it?

Li Zhenli saw that her face was angry, and thought that she was angry with Ruan Dacheng, so she said proudly, "Son, you advised Hou Gongzi to stand up for himself, but he has won a lot of good reputation. ”

Li Xiaojun was completely speechless, it turned out that he was still a little phoenix-like character.

However, the little phoenix seems to have died a miserable death!

What good is such a reputation for her?

Well, now it's backfired!

Li Zhenli continued, "Hou Gongzi returned the silver to Ruan Huzi, which completely offended him, and now that he has recovered, he fabricated a crime to Hou Gongzi, but Hou Gongzi knew the news in advance and escaped. How do you know that this Ruan beard is so shameless, if he can't catch Hou Gongzi, he will be angry with you, you say that he is also an official master, how can he do such a cheap act? ”

Li Xiaojun connected the causes and consequences of the matter, and soon understood his situation - Li Xiangjun won a good reputation, and he left it alone, but he had to suffer it for her.

"I'll you!" Li Xiao's eyes were closed, and an inexplicable sourness welled up in his heart.

Why is my life so bitter, God, since you have given me a chance to start all over again, let me devote myself to the bitter cold land in the Northeast, let me be born in a princely Baylor's house, and have a good relationship like Ruoxi, isn't it?

Even if Huang Taiji is dead, Dolgon and Duoduo can do it, even if they can't, Shunzhi, Jidu, and Yue Le can do it!

Even if you can't devote yourself to their family and the ordinary people, you can get rich by hard work.

Actually, it's not a big deal to devote yourself to a Qinglou woman, and it's not difficult to get ahead with your own talents, but it's just a chaste martyr, such a contradictory individual, God, how do you let me start?

Li Xiaojun grabbed the sky for a while, and finally accepted the reality.

Li Zhenli saw that she had finally quieted down, so she continued, "Good girl, you have been a very sensible person since you were a child, and after marrying Hou Gongzi, you have followed her wholeheartedly and never met outsiders alone. It's still my mother's fault, and my mother once wanted to let you secretly pick up a few benefactors behind Hou Gongzi's back and earn more money for the building, but you sternly refused. You also persuaded Hou Gongzi to be a mother, saying that Hou Gongzi is an upright gentleman, and he will definitely take you back to the Dehou Mansion in the future, and then you will beg Hou Gongzi to bring Wei Niang with you, so that the rest of my life will be settled. As a mother, I listened to your persuasion to let you serve Hou Gongzi wholeheartedly, but now you wake up but your temperament has changed greatly, and it is strange that you are a mother. ”

Oh, I see!

It's not too much to ask, it's the best solution for her and her.

But the premise is that Hou Gongzi must be reliable!

However, judging from his performance this time, he didn't pass!

Li Xiaojun gave Hou Fangyu a C- in her heart, and remembered the scene she had with Master Yang just now, and couldn't help asking, "I think that Master Yang is very good, although he is a little older, he is an official, why don't you agree to him?" ”

Li Zhenli pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "You also saw what happened just now, he just said it nicely, but he is actually an unreliable person." ”

Li Xiaojun was about to say that Hou Chaozong was also a good person, but Zhou Da and the others were arguing outside again, "I said Mrs. Li, how long do you want us to wait?" ”
