Chapter 8 A staff, a scum

Bingjing was outside on the left side of the hall, watching the killing of chickens and monkeys from the cracks of the Xuan window. While secretly cheering for her in her heart, she became more and more sorry for the experience of Chundu's previous life. While looking at the warbler's arrogance and domineering, she couldn't help sneering in her heart - it seems that she only thought that with Mother Song as a backer, she could do whatever she wanted - but It was indeed the same in her previous life. I thought that the maid later went to the palace of Chu, and she did not follow the instructions of Dongyu and Mother Song in private.

Thanks, I always thought she was a kind person, and I was thinking about finding a rich person to marry for her. I really grew my eyes in my armpits.

Suddenly, he saw the sound of the warbler go crazy and rushed straight to the cherry. The scenery was shocked, but he saw that the cherry did not care about it. As soon as he stretched out his arm, he twisted the warbler's hand, squeezed his lips and did not say anything, and his sharp eyes only stared at the warbler disdainfully.

This maid really has some momentum. If her mind is pure, she will be reused in the future, and the scenery thinks silently.

But when he saw that the sound of warbler did not repent, the anger that had just subsided rushed up again: "Okay, what a domineering man..." But he couldn't say anything more. He only asked a few second-class maids to pull the sound of the warbler away, and said to another maid: "Go to tell the Duke's wife and invite Mother Yang to talk about us. There was a tricky slave in the courtyard who disoed her and let her take the lead. Whether it was cast out or dragged to the board, she would be treated by her.

This made Yingsheng completely wake up and scream secretly. At this time, Hongyu hasn't been transferred to Luqingyuan, but she can't protect her. If she is thrown out like this, she won't be beaten by an old man. She is also dizzy... If she can't care about cherry, she will have another dry howl, and she pounces on the ground and hugs her. Chunmu's legs began to cry: "Sister Chunmu, I'm all angry and dizzy. It's not that I'm not convinced. You have a large number of adults, just forgive me this time. I don't dare to do it again in the future. If the Duke's wife really kicks me out, there is no way to live. It depends on the relationship we have been together for many years..."

Yijing shook her head in the window, saying that she was really able to stretch and act. It's a pity to be a maid. It seems that the spring and evening is soft again.

At this time, Xia Yun also advised: "Sister, just forgive her once. It's not a big mistake. You have always been lenient... If you get out of this little thing, it's hard to protect others not to talk about Wu Niang's harshness."

Yi Jing looked at Xia Yun's docile and honest "good man" appearance from afar, and the corners of her lips sneered. She was used to knowing that Xia Yun was a person who ignored his own business. Why did she beg for Yingsheng alone? She also pulled her master into the water. Could it be that she had an external intention at this time and regarded Mother Song as the future master. Hearing that Yingsheng was better than Hongyu, she couldn't help begging for people in the same camp?

It is really a reasonable saying that you know people face and don't know their hearts.

Chunmu was originally a little soft-hearted, but after listening to Xia Yun's words, I felt that my heart was choked again. I thought that it was no wonder that Wu Niang had been estranged with Xia Yun recently. Today, she said that she was also punished. I didn't know why. It turned out that this maid really had an external heart. A slave maid dared to take the reputation of Wu Niang to excuse others...

But Qiuyue, who came back from outside the yard without waiting for the spring and evening to respond, just heard this. Although she didn't know what the big scene in front of her was for, she immediately stepped on a strong step and stared at Xia Yun: "What nonsense are you talking about, sister? A slave and maidservant who disoth not obeyed should have been chased out according to the government rules. How can it be said that Wu Niang is harsh? Is it tolerant and generous to allow these unruly unruly slaves to be lawless? If so, where are the rules of the government? Or does my sister think the rules in the house are too strict?

The words made Xia Yun panic and waved his hand repeatedly: "I don't mean this, but it's just for the reputation of Wu Niang."

"If you really think about Wu Niang, you shouldn't say this. Even if you hear other people's comments like this, you should have thrown it away!" Qiu Yue crossed her small waist with her hands, and the look on her small face was very firm. The righteous appearance made the beautiful scenery watching the scene feel relieved - good girl! It really has the demeanor of Mother Yang.

Xia Yun took a step back and lowered his head with a guilty heart.

The warbler's voice saw that the situation was wrong and secretly scolded Xia Yunduo for taking care of the matter. As soon as he bit his silver teeth, he tore off all his face and threw it into the gutter first - the most important thing now is to stay in the Green Qingyuan. Anyway, he has to wait for the spring evening to go out, the red rain comes in, and then report today's humiliation.

He raised his hand and slapped himself in the face and cried and begged: "Sister Chunmu, I really know what'm wrong. No matter how I punish it, I'm convinced. I just beg my sister to forgive me once. Don't tell the Duke's wife... In the future, even if I'm a cow and a horse, I only remember my sister's good today..."

When Chunmu saw that she was slapped in the face, the choking anger subsided. Then she gave up and told Xia Yun, "I went out with Wu Niang today and told you to keep an eye on the maid in the yard. Yingsheng was supposed to be on duty, but she went to chat with others. Only Cherry was busy. Didn't you see it? "

Xia Yun was stunned and cried secretly. Today, when Hongyu came in, she first gave herself a box of honey date cake, and then called the sound of the warbler to talk to several second-class maids to Hetangxie. Hongyu is the granddaughter of Mother Song and the maid of the son of the world. She often loves to come to Lvqingyuan. How can she stop it? She wants to have cherries. Cleaning the house, Wu Niang and Chun Twilight are not there...

He hurriedly smiled and said, "It's my negligence."

"Yingsheng's laziness should be punished. If you are careless and mismanaged, you should also be punished. You should also be punished for a month's money. Can you be convinced?"

She just ate Qiu Yue and had a meal. Xia Yun didn't dare to accept it. She quickly admitted it, but her heart was sour and sour. It turned out that she also heard about the marriage in the twilight of spring, and half of her heart was worried about her future, and half of them were also jealous.

Unlike the children, she was just a maid bought outside. In order to treat her brother, her parents gave her to the tooth. At that time, she was almost sold to the brothel, but the Duke wanted to buy a few maids, and the money was more than the brothel. The man's tooth recommended her... Later, he heard that her brother was still dead. My parents can't stay in Jinyang and don't know where they have been.

At first, she was just a third-class maid. Rely relying on her honest willingness to work, she entered the blue eyes of the eldest princess and was promoted to second-class, allowing her to follow Wu Niang. Later, Wu Niang had her own yard, so she was promoted to the first class.

Although the first-class maid's work is light and decent, because she has no family to rely on, Xia Yun has to worry about the future by herself. On the one hand, she is not as cautious and capable as Chun Twilight, and on the other hand, she is not as clever as Qiu Yue and Qiu Shuang. Wu Niang is not close to her, and she really can't learn to flatter her master. She thinks that she will wait for Wu Niang to come out in the future. Pavilion, she will definitely follow the dowry to other houses. If she doesn't like the fifth mother, she can't think about the whole room and concubine, but she is not willing to worry about being a stew.

To put it bluntly, she is a domestic slave, and her children will still not be able to get rid of slavery in the future.

Therefore, as soon as she heard Hongyu say that she was going to marry the eunuch's children, Xia Yun became red-eyed and realized the importance of Mother Song. If she could flatter her... Mother Song would not have only one nephew... Even if she went to be a concubine to such a family, she would be willing. After all, her future children would no longer be slaves.

In such a situation, how dare she offend Hongyu? I can't even wait to worship these two grandchildren.

How can a domestic maid like Chunmu know her suffering? Xia Yun thought sourly, but honestly admitted the punishment and dared not complain in half a word.

A killing of chickens and monkeys, the slaves and maidservants in the courtyard were shocked. Hearing Chunmu say a loose word, they couldn't wait to run away. They swept the yard of the yard and repaired flowers and plants. Those who were waiting in the corridor did not dare to whisper again. Only Cherry's look unchanged and still went to the house.

Spring twilight went to comfort the little maid bell that had been beaten, and then returned to the beautiful scenery with Qiu Shuang. She happened to hear Qiu Yue replying about the news--

"It's really noisy. I heard that the leading man lived in Qingpingfang, which was two houses placed by the general of Zhenguo. The general's wife took a group of servants to the door this morning and almost didn't burn the place. The man beat the young man, as if he had also taken action against the little lady. Then the general of Zhenguo was enraged. When I came back, I looked for the general's wife's bad luck. I don't know if she really took action against her, but the wife did go back to the Duke of Zhen, and the old princess couldn't persuade her.

Yi Jing felt surprised. I don't know where this actress and illegitimate daughter came out. Did a series of things change quietly because of his rebirth? But what does his rebirth have to do with the general of Zhenguo raising the outer room outside? For a moment, I couldn't figure out the connection, so I simply put it aside for a while and asked Qiu Yue and Qiu Shuang, "Do you think I'm too harsh today?"

"What is this? I want the maidservant to think that the fifth mother should have dealt with these unruly slaves. She is used to cheat and slippery, and likes to talk about right and wrong in private, especially the warble, which is the most domineering. There are ten little maids in the yard. Who doesn't look frightened when she sees her? If her grandmother is still in charge of the matter of Lvqingyuan at present. , she was sent down a long time ago. Qiu Yue is still straightforward.

Qiu Shuang looked at Chun Dui worriedly and said with a wry smile, "Sister, don't blame me, Qiu Yue is always like this, and I don't know how to think about it."

Qiuyue woke up and smiled to pull Chunmu's hand: "It's not my sister's fault. My sister is always kind and soft-hearted. If not, she won't allow me to be naughty with Qiu Shuang."

Chunmu laughed and said, "It was also mine. You shouldn't be soft-hearted. You're right."

Yi Jing asked the maids again, "Do you think the sound of the warbler is really convinced?"

This time, Qiu Shuang said first: "It is inevitable to complain in her heart, but what else does she dare? After all, it's her fault today." Qiuyue nodded frequently, and only Chundu was older and thought thoughtfully: "In the eyes of the slave maidservant, she is only pretending, but if she insists on sending her off today, it will be a little fuss."

Yi Jingshen thought: "That's right. If you want to set rules for the maids, you have to follow the regulations. You can't punish people for no reason, and you have to follow the rules."

"Don't worry, these heavenly slaves will keep an eye on the warblers. If she really repents that everything is going well, and if there is any more moths... she will find her own way to die." Qiu Yue immediately asked for his life.

Bing Jing praised it very much: "Then you have to stare without blinking. From now on. Qiu Shuang followed me to Songtao Garden. Since Brother Zhou is resting today, I don't have to go to Guozi Prison today.

In the twilight, I knew that the fifth mother saw her off all the way behind gratefully for her own business.

Su Xing is 15 years old and will naturally not live in the inner courtyard. Songtao Garden is located on Guogongfu East Road. In addition to passing through the second gate, passing through the plum blossom forest and bypassing the mirror pool, you can also reach it from the corner gate on the east side of Muhui Building.

It's been gloomy for a long time. Today, the sun finally became bright. The beautiful scenery sat on her shoulder and was a little far away from Songtao Garden. She bumped twice on the horse's back this morning and was already tired. Later, when she saw Yu Zhou, hatred awakened her stubbornness in her bones. She only felt that she was exhausted, but now she was relieved. Son, I felt that my knees were sore that it was almost not my own flesh and blood. Taking a step was like stepping on cotton. For the sake of myself and the autumn frost around me, I still let the two women lift their shoulders.

Along the way, I saw that the vegetation was green and the flowers were like snow. In the breeze, it was dark and fragrant. On the back was a blue sky. The clouds were like floating catkins, gently rolled slowly, gathering with each other, which made people feel relaxed and happy... The beautiful and warm season can make people temporarily forget their hatred.

The scenery smiles and allows himself to think about nothing during this journey.

The woman who raised her shoulders was well trained and walked quickly and steadily, but it took him to get to Songtao Garden.

Su Xing was working hard in the study. Hearing that her fifth sister was coming, she quickly greeted her.

In the bright sunshine, the young man wearing a green shirt and strode wide. His sword eyebrows flew obliquely, and the corners of his lips were warm. The slightly honey-colored skin glowed with the brilliance of the year, which was not inferior to the sunshine.

Memories surged, and beautiful scenery remembered that the last time she saw her eldest brother, she had become a lifeless body. She lay stiffly on the bamboo couch, her face was pale and blue, her eyes were slightly open, but her eyes were so desperate death and gray, which made her instantly suspicious that this body was not her mother. The brother of a compatriot, but a stranger.

Yi Jing raised her eyes slightly, quickly calmed down the tears that couldn't help surging up, and greeted Su Jing with a smile.

The relationship between the brother and sister was very good, which saved a lot of idleness. Sitting down through the ebony case, Yijing said his intention.

"Thinking that my brother may have a classmate from Ninghai, I wonder if I can inquire about it?" Yijing is a little urgent, mostly because she is curious and wants to know what kind of nephew Mother Song has.

"You're right to ask me about this." Su Xing smiled and said, "There is no need to ask your classmates. There is a fake Ninghai person in our house."

Yi Jing was slightly puzzled. In fact, Emperor Gaozu and his grandfather's ancestral home are all in Ninghai. Naturally, there are also Ninghai's servants in the Guogong Mansion, but most of them have taken root in Jinyang and haven't been back for decades. How can they know Mother Song's nephew?

"It was a few days ago that he came to turn to his father's staff, from Ninghai, or a student personally taught by Mr. Ding of Songhe Academy." Su Xing explained.

Yi Jing's heart moved: "Brother, do you know his name?"

"Of course I know, it's called Li Jihe." He asked again, "What does the fifth sister mean by asking this?"

Yangjing thought about this name in her heart, but said perfunctorily: "I heard that the Northern Wei Dynasty of Southern Ding were two great scholars of the same name as the Dalong Dynasty. When I heard that the students of Songhe Academy came to my home, I was a little curious for a moment."

In fact, she had heard the name Li Jihe in her previous life. She still remembers that it was the first autumn of marrying to the king of Chu's mansion. The weak son held on to the sick body and accompanied her puzzled her to enjoy a red maple in Guan Suiyuan. She coldly mentioned Li Jihe and asked her if she had heard of this person in the Duke of Wei's mansion. She was absent-minded at that time. He just shook his head and casually asked who Li Ji was.

The son said that this person was originally a staff member of the Duke of Wei, a person from Ninghai, and a proud disciple of Ding Changsu, a famous generation of great Confucians. Later, the Duke of Wei recommended this person to the king of Chu. At that time, the royal palace was eight grades of Jishan, and he said that he accidentally found that although Li Jihe left the Duke of Wei, he still paid a lot of attention to the original owner. In particular, he also bribed the steward at the door of the inner courtyard of the royal palace and inquired about Mother Song. The prince felt strange and knew the beautiful scenery.

In those years, she would not take these little things to heart and turn around and leave them behind.

But now I want to come...

Why did a staff ask Mother Song? The only connection between them is that they are both from Ninghai. Is it an old knowledge?

"It's a coincidence." Yijing smiled and said, "Why don't you invite Mr. Li to come and ask by the way? Maybe he knows the situation of Song Baihu's family."

Su Xing saw that her sister was anxious and said that she cared for Chunmu. She couldn't help sighing: "My sister has really grown up and knows how to care about the people around her." Then she called a maid in and told her to let the little man go to the front yard and ask Li Ji to come over.

When a man in a light gray thin sleeve robe, tall and beautiful eyebrows appeared in front of Yijing, she immediately denied the idea just now. This man is only 26 or 7 years old, and M Mother Song has left Ninghai for more than 40 years, how can he be an old acquaintance? But I felt more confused. I don't know why this man cares about Mother Song.

Li Jihe only thought that the son had invited him to come, but it was just a book or a game. Unexpectedly, he saw a little woman. He was also a little surprised, so he looked at him more and happened to touch the eyes of the scene.

What a beautiful little lady! In particular, those black eyes are clear and bright, like a secluded pool of water, which can flow directly from people's eyes to the heart.

Then he listened to Su Xing's introduction: "Mr. Li, this is my fifth sister."

It turned out to be the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Li Jihe smiled slightly and bowed lightly.

"Sir, there is no need to be polite." Yijing quickly got up and returned the salute, and then looked at the man carefully, which was very surprised.

It's obviously the first time to see you, but why do you think this person is a little familiar?

When the scenery was stunned, Su Xun had already told what she asked for, and the scenery's eyes did not leave the man's face from beginning to end, so she clearly saw the coldness passing by Li Ji and her eyes when she heard the three words Mother Song!

It's like a meteor, fleeting.

This person must have a knot with Mother Song! The scenery is not without excitement.

But I heard Li Jihe say, "Song Baihu has five sons, two legitimate and three concubines. The eldest son is married, and the other three sons are still young, and the oldest is only twelve. Only the second son is 22 this year and has not yet married. He is the person who wants to ask about it in the afterlife."

The eunuchs of the Dalong Dynasty also met at the age of 17 or 8 at the latest. These 22 years old are still bachelors, and most of them are a little strange. Therefore, Li Jihe said, and the two brothers and sisters, Su Xing and Yijing, subconsciously frowned.

It's not surprising that the prince of Wei had this reaction, but a cardamom girl can be so keen that she can't but teach Li Ji and surprise, so he looked at Yijing again and then said, "The second son of Song is notorious in Ninghai. Both noble officials and ordinary people know it."

Sure enough, as expected by the scenery.

"Can you tell me carefully?" Jingjing asked.

Li Jihe said bluntly: "Song Er is the son of an official eunuch. He is domineering and arrogant. When he was a teenager, he liked to fight and bully the weak. He has long been notorious in Ninghai. Over the years, he has been even worse. Not to mention raising actors and sleeping flowers, he is not clean with the servants around him. He has to die several times a hundred households every year. A maid said that it was due to illness, but in fact, she was tortured to death by Song Ersheng.

These words were somewhat inappropriate in front of the girl, so Su Xing was a little embarrassed, but Li Ji and saw that Yijing's face was still calm, and he secretly claimed to be surprised, but the little woman suddenly asked, "Does you know Mother Song?"

Li Jihe was stunned and shook his head quickly: "I don't know Mother Song."

"Then why did my brother know that he was the son of a hundred families when he mentioned Mother Song's nephew just now?" The scenery is full of curiosity.

What a powerful little lady! Li Jihe's heart was shocked, but he still smiled. Yun said lightly and said, "This Song Er is really evil, and he is called the name of Mother Song, saying that his aunt is the most powerful person around the eldest father-in-law."

A son of a hundred households is nothing, and only the eldest princess, a solid backer, is enough to make him dare to do whatever he wants.

Su Xun frowned deeply: "What my grandmother hates most is that such foxes pretend to be powerful and bully the weak. I didn't expect Mother Song's family to be so unbearable."

The scenery also said, "Mr. Duode told each other, so that the little girl knew the truth." I couldn't help thinking that Song Er's bad behavior also implicated his grandmother's reputation. This matter must not be exposed so easily, and he must tell his grandmother truthfully.

I don't know how Mother Song will deal with it?

This trip is really worthwhile. After the observation and temptation just now, the scenery has been 70% sure - this Li Ji and Mother Song must be related, and he seems to hate Mother Song very much.
