The women of the princess mansion gl

The carriage moved extremely steadily, and the brocade mattress under the seat was thick and soft, making it very comfortable to sit on.The father and daughter had nothing to say for a long time, and the voices of street traders hawking became clearer.

"Candied haws, candied dates, candy figurines~"

The end of the sound dragged leisurely, like a sugar thread that was getting longer and longer.Wu Lianyue lowered her head and licked her lips. She is a big girl, and she would not be greedy for these little snacks.But since her grandparents passed away, her life with her mother has become more and more difficult. Not to mention snacks, she often can't even fill her stomach.

Wu Tianming yelled at the coachman, "Stop here for a while."

"Master, what's the matter?" the coachman tightened his rope and asked.

Wu Tianming didn't bring half of his servants with him today. The more secretive the brothel visits, the better. The coachman had to watch the horses. Wu Tianming, who had no one to command and wanted to take the opportunity to show his father's love, got out of the carriage by himself.

He walked to the food market on the side of the street and asked the sugar seller, "How much money are these in total?"

"The prices of candied skewers are different for different fruits, and the prices of candied paintings are different for different sizes. My lord, I can't figure it out for a while." The candy seller scratched his head in trouble.He has been selling candy for more than ten years, and he has never met anyone who buys all of them right after the stall opens.If the son or daughter of a rich family is greedy, they will directly give him some money to go to the mansion to make it fresh.

"Is two taels enough?" The family's purchase is the servant's business, and the money payment is his wife's business. Wu Tianming has no idea about the price.Not to mention children's food, he has never bought it.

The sugar peddler hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "That's enough, that's enough, I'll pack it up for you."

Wu Tianming walked along the market and bought some of every kind of food.

Wu Lianyue didn't understand why her father stopped the carriage suddenly, she thought of running away...

Even if her "good father" who is "responsible and responsible" will find her to pick her up at her home, at least she can say goodbye to her mother before leaving.

Wu Lianyue opened the sedan chair curtain, and as soon as she poked her head out halfway, she saw her father standing in front of the sedan chair with all kinds of food in his hands.

Wu Tianming passed the food to his daughter with a cold face, then got into the carriage and ordered the driver to continue on his way.

"This is..." Wu Lianyue's arms were stuffed to the brim, and the aroma of food filled the sedan chair.

"Just say what you want to eat, the family can't afford it." Wu Tianming recalled the scene when his daughter fed her by himself when she was young.He originally thought that if he had many children, he wouldn't care too much about one more or one less.But just now, he clearly saw the shadow of his youth in his daughter.

He studied in the academy when he was young, and his family was in a difficult situation. He could only hide behind the scrolls and peek at the delicious and interesting things of his classmates. He wanted to eat and play, but he didn't have the courage to speak up.

Wu Lianyue, who was silent all the way, looked at Wu Tianming with tears in her arms, and called softly, "Father."

Wu Tianming's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy drum, and his eyes were a little sore.Shicai's daughter also called him "Lord Prefect", presumably because of that slap and the momentary remarks he made about his negligence over the years.Blood is thicker than water, there is no knot between father and daughter that cannot be untied.

All these years, he has not been hard-hearted and disregarded his daughter's life and death, but he has a strong wife in his family, so he has no power to do so.In the early years, he also secretly helped the Meng family, and after being discovered by his wife, he made a fuss for a long time, and even made a fuss in front of his father-in-law Song Ge's old eyes.He didn't get any chance of promotion in these years, so he should be a little affected by the events of the year.Elder Song Ge may be worried that his son-in-law will be promoted too quickly, and after he becomes an official, the power of the Wu family will overtake the Song family, and he will treat the Song family lightly.

After all, there are already lessons learned from the Meng family.

"En." Wu Tianming pulled back Piaoyuan's thoughts, and responded to the phrase "Father" that was called out from the mouth of the eldest daughter after ten years.

"Mother is really very ill." Wu Lianyue took out an embroidered handkerchief from the blue cloth bag in her arms and wiped away the tears on her face. She still remembered that her father hated people crying in front of him the most.After calming down, he said in a pleading tone, "Can you let me go home?"

"This is to bring you home, don't forget your surname is Wu." Wu Tianming saw that his daughter was about to cry again, and said patiently: "You are also at the age of marriage, go back to the mansion to learn some rules, and live a little longer I promise that I will have plenty of time to spend with your mother." If the daughter marries as the eldest daughter of the magistrate's family, she will be able to marry a better husband, and she will not be looked down upon in her husband's family. a heart.

"But mother..."

"When I get home, I will send the doctor and servants there. If you are obedient, I will prepare a large dowry when you get married. You can spend as much as you want and it will be enough for your mother's future life." The daughter has already gone to the fireworks place to sell needles The money is gone, which shows how difficult the life of the mother and daughter is.

dowry?

Wu Lianyue thought of the only piece of silver and a handful of copper plates left on her body.The valuable things at home have already been sold out, but she didn't sell her needlework today.And how could the money for this idea be enough for her and her mother to live?If he went back to the Wu Mansion according to his father's wishes, he would be able to take care of his mother's life after getting the dowry.

The mother is seriously ill, so in order to raise money, don't she have two choices: to become prostitutes or to marry early?In comparison, what my father offered was really the best choice.Wu Lianyue picked up a bunch of candied dates her father bought for her, and lightly bit off one.

"Sweet?"

Wu Lianyue nodded.

"When you arrive at the mansion, don't wrestle with Madam."

***

The Wu Mansion arrived in a blink of an eye.Wu Lianyue followed behind her father and slowly approached the mansion that carried her childhood love.

The layout of the yard has not changed much, but the aisle and aisle where she played and laughed looks much smaller than when she was a child, and the trees are more lush.

The woman guarding the gate didn't recognize her, and the little girl sweeping the fallen leaves on the courtyard road naturally couldn't possibly recognize her.There are not many servants who can stay in the mansion for ten years, and she is not what she was when she was a child.Said to go home, tortured by those pairs of probing and doubtful eyes, the feeling is no different from parading the streets.

She followed her father's footsteps without turning her eyes, passed through the second gate, and walked along the veranda into the inner courtyard. In the inner courtyard, several girls in gorgeous clothes and gold belts and jade belts played chess around the stone table.

"master."

When Wu Tianming passed by, several girls stood up together.

"Madam is in the room?" Wu Tianming asked the little girl.

"Go back to Master, here we are."

When Wu Lianyue walked past several people, she heard them talking in a low voice.

"I feel sorry for the sisters in Madam's room, they will suffer a great crime!"

"The master became more and more daring, and brought the little goblin back to the mansion. I'm afraid the mansion will have a new aunt!"

"How could Madam agree? Just wait and see, you'll be beaten out later."

"Let's go to another courtyard!"

"I want to go to you, I want to stay here and watch a good show."

……

Wu Lianyue turned her head and glanced at them, and the girls hurriedly stopped talking.

***

After Jin Yang went out, Shen Xiao's thoughts also flew out. After washing in a hurry, she lifted her jade legs and stepped out of the bathtub.

On the red sandalwood shelf in the clean room, there were clean clothes prepared by Jinyang for her. Because she often went to the palace, Jinyang specially made four seasons clothes for her to change and wash.The clothes have been smoked in Jinyang's bedroom for a long time, and they are also stained with that floral and fruity fragrance.

Seeing Shen Xiao coming out, the little girl who was serving outside bowed her body and asked, "The princess asked the slave to ask Miss Wen Xiao if she will stay overnight?"

"Stay. Wash the armor and send it to the general's mansion, and send the sword to the blacksmith's shop in the west of the city to be polished by the third son." She knocked a big gap in the enemy's skull with the saber she was comfortable with.

The little girl responded and went into the clean room to clean.

Shen Xiao strode towards Jinyang's courtyard, and met his enemy on the way.

The eldest son of Prince Jia's Mansion, Jin Yang's twin brother Qin Chao Linxi walked towards her like a fool with a big smile on his face.

"Xiao'er." Qin Chaolin heard that General Shen Shimao and his daughter had returned to Beijing when he went to his husband's house to hand in the daily class, so he begged left and right, and he finally got his husband to agree to postpone the homework until tomorrow.

Shen Xiao only hated that he was not good at lightness kungfu, that he couldn't just jump over the wall and fly to Jinyang's room.

"My son." Shen Xiao composes respectfully.She had to keep a distance from this lunatic. Two siblings who were born almost at the same time in the same mother's womb, except for their similar appearance, were almost the same.

"I'll be fourteen after the New Year's Eve." Qin Chaolin stretched out four fingers triumphantly.

"Congratulations, son." Shen Xiao turned to the left and bypassed this annoying spirit.

Qin Chaolin ignorantly followed closely, and muttered behind Shen Xiao's back: "It should be Tongxi, then I can go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage to General Shen."

"What the hell?" Shen Xiao stopped abruptly.
