Maid of a wealthy family

Chapter 54 The new head of the regiment (2)
When I got closer, I realized that someone had died.She felt her scalp explode.People were weeping sadly, but no one noticed her.Chrysanthemum's heart was disturbed by the crying of the woman in the middle, and she also wanted to shed tears.

She didn't know who died in this family, so she wanted to go and have a look.After standing for a while, Chrysanthemum finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and walked in.On a strip mat in the crowd, lay the dead body of Dacui.

When Chrysanthemum saw it, she was stunned.She couldn't believe her eyes, shook her head, and looked again - it was undoubtedly Da Cui.

Chrysanthemum suddenly had a sore nose, and tears fell down.She looked at the people around her, no one knew her, and she didn't know anyone else.She guessed that the old woman and a group of little girls crying to death must be Da Cui's mother and her sisters.She wanted to rush over to hug Da Cui's body and cry, but she didn't want people to recognize her.After weeping silently for a while, she couldn't help asking an old lady beside her: "Old lady, what's the matter with this girl?"

Wiping her tears, the old lady sighed and said, "Damn it, a good girl went to Lan Manor to be a girl, and was brought back this morning by people from Lan Manor, who said that she threw herself into the river and was drenched in water..."

When Chrysanthemum heard this, she was shocked again, and asked again: "Why did you throw yourself into the river?"

The old lady said: "Who knows? They put the dead person down and left without saying anything. Good girl, why do you want to seek death?"

Immediately before Chrysanthemum’s eyes, Dacui’s pained, melancholy, and sad expression that often hangs on his face appeared, remembering the day when her father came to visit her, she saw Dacui’s sad look, and when she asked why, Dacui didn’t answer, But ran into the house and wept bitterly.Yes, she didn't know what pain Dacui felt in her heart, but she was sure that there must be some unspeakable secret hidden in her heart.What it is, Chrysanthemum thinks she will never know.she.Another doubt arose in her heart, and she decided to go back and ask the master for clarification. She took another silent look at Da Cui, only to find that Da Cui's face was much thinner than before, and her stomach was slightly bulging. Chrysanthemum thought it was because she drank too much Water's sake.She looked at it for a while, and forgot to beg for water and food, and quietly left the crowd. As she walked out, she said in her heart, "Sister Dacui, why are you so overwhelmed? Why are you looking for death?" , and shed tears again.

When the sun went down, Chrysanthemum finally returned to Lanfu.When she saw the Chaomen of Lanfu from a distance, she felt sour, like a wanderer returning home after all the hard work, and two streams of hot tears rolled down.She wiped away her tears, and took a look at her hand, only to find that it was covered with dust.She looked at her body again, and she looked like a beggar.She thought, should I go back to see the master like this?When the master sees it, how disgusting will it be?But if you don’t go back like this, how can you go back?In the end, she had no choice but to walk to a puddle, squatted down, picked up the cold water in the puddle, wiped it, and smoothed out her messy hair with her fingers. Then she mustered up her courage and walked into the front door, then ran into the back garden .

After arriving in the garden, Chrysanthemum was really relieved and felt that she had come home.The garden in winter is very withered.The lotus root in the lotus pond has long since died, and there are only a few dead leaves floating on the water; only the thin and thin branches are left on the grape trellis, which are slightly purple in the setting sun, as if frozen red by the severe winter.All the flowers and plants on the flower beds have also hibernated, leaving only a layer of yellowish black soil. Even the rockery and pavilions seem to be much thinner than in summer.But in the eyes of Chrysanthemum, everything in the garden is much more intimate than before. She really wanted to go and cry with her arms around those pavilion pillars and trees, and cry out all her thoughts of the past 30 days.But she still held back her tears, bit her lips tightly, and walked forward while lovingly looking at the changes in the garden.

The garden was as silent as if there was no one there.Chrysanthemum knew that in such cold weather, of course the old lady and wife would not come out.So what about the master... Thinking of the master, her heart beat involuntarily.She really wanted to see the master right away, to see if his injury was healed?Is it still the same as before?Or fat, or thin?She wants to hear his soft and gentle voice, wants to see his kind and gentle face, even wants him to touch and kiss her, and wants to lie in his arms and shed tears as much as she wants... But, She also knew that the master would not stay in the garden during the day, and the master had many things to do.It's no wonder that in such a big family, so many people eat, it's all up to the master to worry about it!She would have to wait until night to see the master.She looked at the sun, fortunately, this moment will come soon.Then, she imagined again: what will happen when the master sees her back?He would hug her into his arms, kiss her heartily, kiss her, and... thinking about it, Chrysanthemum blushed.She thought, the master will definitely!The master used to like her so much, he held her in his mouth for fear of melting, and held her for fear of flying away, he was so affectionate and lingering.Besides, she saved his life twice in a row.No, three times!She had saved him three times!Especially on the Nine Layers Village, in order to save him, she took the life of Mo Qiye, making Mo Qiye a dead ghost.If it weren't for her, the master would have become the ghosts of Ran Longgui and the others long ago.The master knows it all, the master is a person who knows the books and etiquette, and is benevolent and righteous, so can he not repay his kindness... Thinking about it, the chrysanthemum really seemed to be lying in Lan Hongen's arms, bursting with strong longing and infinite desire. tenderness.Unknowingly, she came to the transparent room, stroked the pavilion affectionately, and said in her heart: "I'm back! I'm back, master..." After touching for a while, she remembered that she should go to see the old lady, and then go to see the wife.She thought, they must be thinking about themselves too!However, as soon as Chrysanthemum walked out of the pavilion, she stopped hesitantly.She looked at her dirty clothes, and said to herself, "Are you just going to see the old lady and wife like a beggar? No, change your clothes before you go! Anyway, the clothes are ready-made." Thinking like this, she felt like she was in the past. Same, turned and walked into the Moon Gate.

When she hastily pushed open the door that belonged to her, she couldn't help being shocked—a young girl was sitting in the room.

This girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an apple-shaped face and a little fat. She was wearing a sky-blue lake crepe padded jacket, a pair of rolled cotton trousers, a pair of "full shoes" cloth shoes, and a big pair of pants hanging down. .The bangs on the forehead were neatly trimmed, which set off a chubby round face nicely. It was obviously modified and put on a thin layer of light makeup, and the face showed a faint blush.Hearing the sound of the door, she turned her head quickly, and then froze in astonishment. After a moment, her eyes flashed a bit of panic and puzzlement, and she looked at the chrysanthemum as if she was looking at a visitor from outside the sky.

Chrysanthemum moved her lips; no sound came out.

The girl also moved her lips, the astonishment and uneasiness in her eyes was no less than that of Chrysanthemum.

After a long time, Chrysanthemum asked softly: "You, are you right?"

The girl opened her mouth, took another step back, and sat on the bed.superior.After a while, he asked back, "Who are you?"

Chrysanthemum seemed a little angry, raised her voice slightly and said, "What do I ask you?"

Then the girl said: "My name is Osmanthus fragrans, a girl who came to serve the old lady not long ago."

"What?" Chrysanthemum almost cried, staring at the girl named Osmanthus.She saw that although the girl was wearing Lanfu's thick winter clothes, she still couldn't hide her plump and healthy body.

The girl named Osmanthus felt a little embarrassed when she saw Chrysanthemum staring at her intently, and the faint blush on her face turned into a burning cloud.She looked up at Chrysanthemum, fingered the ends of her braid and asked, "Who are you? How did you come here?"

Chrysanthemum said: "Don't worry about who I am, I used to live here! I want to ask how you live here?"

The girl said: "I have never seen you before, how do I know where you live? It is the master, the old lady, and the wife who told me to live here."

Chrysanthemum suddenly felt angry, she wanted to get angry, but she didn't know why.After a while, she rushed to the closet and opened the closet door.The girl also rushed over, protected the closet door, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Chrysanthemum pushed the girl angrily and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll look for my clothes."

The girl said, "These clothes are for me. What clothes do you have?"

Chrysanthemum was dumbfounded for a moment, these clothes were given to her by the old lady and his wife, how could they become hers?But thinking about it again, maybe the old lady, the master and the wife thought that she would never come back, so it was not surprising that they gave these clothes back to others.So, he said to the girl named Osmanthus in a light tone: "It doesn't matter if it's yours, I'll borrow one to change it first." Then, he found a silk-cotton cheongsam and changed the dirty clothes on his body.I found another pair of padded cotton trousers, and replaced the ones that were torn by thorns.Then, Chrysanthemum stood in front of the mirror and took a picture, only to realize that she looked like a human being.

After changing her clothes, Chrysanthemum remembered the burden she had brought from home.She looked again, but couldn't find it.

She turned her head and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus girl like looking at a thief and asked, "Where's my baggage?"

The sweet-scented osmanthus girl asked inexplicably: "What burden? I haven't seen it before."

Chrysanthemum said in disbelief: "Haven't you seen it? Can it fly?" As she spoke, she searched up and down again.She suddenly heard something fall from her shaking clothes.When she saw it, her eyes widened—it was the pair of jade bracelets that the master gave her.She hurriedly put down her clothes, picked up the pair of bracelets, and stroked them carefully.

When the girl named Osmanthus saw her, she blushed for a while, as if someone had discovered some secret, and then rushed over angrily, grabbing the things in Chrysanthemum's hand.While grabbing it, he said: "Put it down, this is mine..."

Chrysanthemum hurriedly put the bracelet on her chest like a treasure, looked at Miss Osmanthus in disbelief and asked, "What? What did you say is yours?"

The sweet-scented osmanthus girl blushed even more, and replied, "The bracelet in your arms is mine."

Chrysanthemum widened her eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Where are you from?"

The sweet-scented osmanthus girl said: "The master gave it to me." In a moment of impatience, she blurted out the secret.

Chrysanthemum was stunned.She looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus for a while, and suddenly shouted: "No! No! You are lying! This is mine! It is obvious that you stole my baggage and my things..."

As she said that, she grabbed the sweet-scented osmanthus girl and yelled, "Return my things quickly."

The sweet-scented osmanthus girl was frightened, and suddenly burst into tears. After a while, she tried her best to break free from Chrysanthemum's hand, and said aggrievedly: "Who are you? Bullying me here? I don't see any burden? I'll go Tell the old lady, tell the wife..." Then she ran downstairs with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Chrysanthemum, not only was she not afraid, but she also felt wronged. She said in her heart, "Call me, I'm going to see the old lady and wife! Let's see what they say!"

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps on the stairs, and Chrysanthemum knew that it was the old lady and his wife who had come. The previous feeling of wandering home and reunion after a long absence immediately surged up and overwhelmed the unhappiness just now.She hurried to the entrance of the building, and shouted excitedly to the old lady and Mrs. Ning who were going upstairs: "Old lady, madam—"

She thought that the old lady and the wife would be equally happy when they saw her. When they went upstairs, she was about to rush over to hug the old lady and cry bitterly, but she saw the old lady and the wife raised their heads gloomyly and didn't even look at her. Take a look at her.

Chrysanthemum was stunned unknowingly, and a strange look froze on her face for a while.

At this time, the old lady gave her a sideways look and spoke.The voice was colder than the air outside: "What are you doing back here?"

Chrysanthemum bit her lips, not knowing how to answer.

Ning also gave her a cold look, and said, "Didn't the bandits snatch you away and make you Mrs. Yazhai?"

After hearing this, Chrysanthemum felt really wronged and wanted to cry for a while.She wanted to explain, but she couldn't open her mouth. She suppressed her tears and called out tremblingly: "Old lady, madam, I..."

She was about to say something, but the girl named Osmanthus burst into tears.When Ning saw her, she hurried over and hugged her, like coaxing a child, and said: "Don't cry, Osmanthus, my good girl! Don't be as knowledgeable as her, it's annoying..."

Seeing Chrysanthemum, my heart was even more sour.This scene is much like they treated themselves in the past!She was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, the old lady seemed to get angry, and pointed at the chrysanthemum and said angrily: "Look at you, what do you think? When you come back, you don't come to say hello first, but just argue and argue. It's really rude! It's not good!" Go down! Let's live in the room where Dacui used to live."

After hearing this, Chrysanthemum felt cold.But she hasn't recovered yet, she is still standing there blankly.Seeing that the chrysanthemum did not move, the old lady yelled again: "Did you hear that? Go quickly."

Only then did Chrysanthemum agree, and turned around quickly.

After arriving in the hut next to the "Zhizu Pavilion", Chrysanthemum slowly regained her senses.She cried out in her heart, God, what's going on?How could they treat themselves like this when they risked themselves and ran back after untold hardships?Could it be that they really believed that she had become a robber's wife?If she really became a robber's wife, would she come back?Besides, she has already given her body to the master and conceived a child for him, will she be a robber's wife?This is really a great injustice!How should she explain it clearly?Also, how will you live in Lan Mansion in the future?Will they still treat themselves like before... A series of questions linger in her mind, she really wants to throw herself into the arms of a relative immediately and ask everything clearly.Now she is.Her grievances, lovesickness, and everything can only be told to the master!

When it was time for dinner, Chrysanthemum didn't see anyone calling her to eat.Her stomach was already hungry, and she felt a burst of cold.After a while, she finally mustered up the courage to go to the kitchen and make a bowl of rice by herself.
