[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Jia She sighed, and said to Jia's mother, "Does the old lady think that our house is still the same as when the Duke was here, and that the sage would turn a blind eye to something if something mattered? ?”

Jia's mother has nothing to say now, what does it mean when Jia Amnesty descended again and again when he attacked the noble, how could Jia's mother, who was born in the Bowling Marquis's mansion, and has been the wife of the state for more than [-] years, not know?It was precisely because she knew that she insisted that Jia Zheng use Wang Ziteng to connect with the prince's line, so that the Rongguo Mansion could return to its former glory.

It was all because of that Zhang Cuihua that all the Bodhisattvas committed crimes, not to mention burning their own and Wang's private treasury, and let Jia She get the evidence of Wang's usury!It's that slut who colludes with the evil boss to get to where it is today.I knew that when Mrs. Zhang died, I should have sold this little hoof or matched it with a servant. I didn't want to find a helper for the boss in a moment of soft-heartedness.

Fortunately, the little hoof is still dead today, and it won't be able to do consumption in the future.Now, Mother Jia doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhang Cuihua's death, she just thinks she should die sooner.

From the beginning to the end, Jia's mother never thought about Yingchun, that granddaughter who had just turned [-] days, now there is no one alive or dead.Maybe in two days she would think that it was a pity that she couldn't keep the dragon girl who had gone through a lot of calamities, so she couldn't help the Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia couldn't answer Jia She's question, so she had to listen to Jia She's talk about his own plan, which was to choose one of the two. Either Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang would leave the mansion separately, or he would go to Shuntian Mansion with personal and material evidence. Report to the official.How could Jia's mother and Jia Zheng agree to such a condition, they also didn't want to agree.Several people fought again.

Zhang Cuihua has lost interest in watching the theater so far—everyone in the Rongguo Mansion now thinks that their mother and daughter are dead, and it is no longer Zhang Cuihua's business how they fight each other. It was not dawn, and appearing on the street rashly would arouse suspicion, so Zhang Cuihua had to stay in Rongguo Mansion to wait for dawn.

Now Yingchun has woken up, crying non-stop in the space, obviously hungry.Zhang Cuihua quietly covered her figure and came to the corner gate, only to find that the corner gate had already been opened because of the investigation by Jia She's brother just now.Zhang Cuihua still blocked the five senses of the gatekeeper woman, checked by herself that there were no pedestrians on the street, and only after walking a long distance did she release the restraint on the gatekeeper woman.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, just like Zhang Cuihua's mood became brighter the farther she was away from Rongguo Mansion.It's just that the original body also grew up in the Shenzhai compound, and was not used to walking long distances, so Zhang Cuihua had to stop and go.

It wasn't until she walked two streets that she saw a horse-drawn carriage. Zhang Cuihua thought that she was single, and the coachmen on the street were different from those in the back streets of Rongguo Mansion. Don't dare to cheat.

If he had just hired a car and the driver became malicious, he could use the space to escape, but Yingchun in the space might be starving, so he might as well work harder and continue measuring the streets of the capital with his feet.

Speaking of which, this is the first time she has walked in the capital like this in several lifetimes. She gradually came to the junction of the west city and the north city. From the gates of the houses on both sides of the road and the stone lions in front of the gate, two people's gates can be distinguished. The first difference comes.

In this life, she will live in the east city with Yingchun, and will not have any intersection with the west city.Zhang Cuihua felt hypocritical, and then looked up at the sky.At this time, it was already high in the sun, and there were more pedestrians and carriages on the road, so Zhang Cuihua dared to call a carriage that was also parked beside the Gaomen mansion—this kind of carriage was like a modern taxi waiting outside the hotel. Similarly, there is always a fixed place, and the driver is relatively reassuring.

When she got to her house, Zhang Cuihua let out a sigh of relief when she got off the carriage, and slammed on the door very imposingly.

It was Li Nian's eldest son, Li Dabao, who came to open the door. Seeing that Zhang Cuihua had come so early, just as he was about to speak, Zhang Cuihua waved to him: "Go and settle the car money first, is your father at home?"

Li Dabao was also clever. Seeing that the driver who delivered Zhang Cuihua was unfamiliar, he quickly took out copper coins from his purse, asked for the fare, paid the bill, and then directly closed the door.

"Why did the master come so early? My father said he was going to invite Nanny Chen, so he left early in the morning." Li Dabao greeted Zhang Cuihua and explained Li Nian's whereabouts.

Zhang Cuihua nodded, now Ren Yingchun has to cry in the space for a while, not to mention that Nanny Chen hasn't invited, even if she has, she can't directly conjure a child in front of these people no?

It just so happened that Li Nian's family saw the master coming, and came up to greet Zhang Cuihua. Seeing Zhang Cuihua's tired face, he said to her in embarrassment: "I don't know if the master is here today, and there is no place for the master to sit down and rest."

Zhang Cuihua didn't care about this, she was really tired now, so she asked Li Nian's family directly: "I asked Li Nian to book an inn yesterday, did he find a good place?"

Because there are many businessmen in the east city, there are several big inns. Li Nian is extremely reliable in his work. After Zhang Cuihua ordered yesterday, he booked a small courtyard in the largest inn:

He repaired the yard several times and received money from Zhang Cuihua to let Li Nian know that his new master is not bad for money, so he naturally decided to give the master the best.In addition, the master lives with a woman, so if she wants to hire Nanny Chen, she will naturally bring her children, so safety must be the first priority. The innermost part of the inn is relatively safest.

Zhang Cuihua nodded frequently when she heard this, which made Li Nian's family smile a little bit: "My man's work has been approved by the master. If there are more people in the house in the future, the housekeeper will be his man's position."If a man becomes a housekeeper, then he is naturally the housekeeper's wife.

Not to mention that Li Nian's family has shallow eyelids, seeing the housekeeper in such a house, he doesn't look like someone from Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.One must know that after several purchases, even if Zhang Cuihua, the master, has not yet moved in, there are already more than [-] slaves in the mansion. Although it is not as many as some deep mansions, they still have to strive for the upper hand, right?

There is a big difference between being in charge of people other than the master, or being in charge of others.

Zhang Cuihua is not in the mood to pay attention to what Li Nian's family is thinking now, she has been gone all morning, and urgently needs to rest, eat, and find a way to get Yingchun across Ming Road, so that the little girl can also eat.

"Take me to the inn to rest." Zhang Cuihua directly told Li Nian's family.

Li Nian's family was in a daze for a moment. The master really wanted to live in the inn, that is to say, he would move into the mansion in the future?That……

"What's going on?" Zhang Cuihua saw that Li Nian's family didn't carry out her order immediately, and her voice was a little displeased.Li Nian's family suddenly woke up. Where the master lives is his own business. As a slave, she just needs to do her part.

"The maidservant is thinking whether to let Mrs. Qian's girl follow the master, so that she can learn to serve the master." Li Nian's family found a reason for themselves.

This reason was dismissed by Zhang Cuihua, just kidding, she is going to pass Yingchun, and she has a girl by her side, how can she do things?Even if the girl's five senses are temporarily blocked, Zhang Cuihua will not erase people's memories. It is impossible to say who sent it and how it was sent.

Li Nian's family only thought that Zhang Cuihua didn't like Xiao Cuimao's hands and feet, thinking that when the head of the family came back, he had to ask the master himself if he wanted to buy two more maids.At that time, the more women there are in the mansion, the more authoritative I will be as the lady in charge.

When they arrived at the inn, Zhang Cuihua directly took out a letter and asked Li Nian's family to send it to a family in Xicheng that she didn't know at all. It was a suspicious strategy:

The paper and ink used for the envelope are all of the best quality in the Rongguo Mansion. People from high-ranking families will recognize it when they see it.The letter was just a blank piece of paper, so she asked Li Nian's family to put the letter in the concierge, so she could come back to Dongcheng without waiting for a reply.

In this way, even if the person who received the letter saw the blank paper, the person who sent the letter from Li Nian’s family would not be able to find it anymore. They would either throw it away with a smile, or think that someone was playing a prank. Maybe they wouldn’t even check who sent it. here.

Those from Li Nian's family who didn't wait for a reply would make up their minds about whether they were born in the family where the letter was sent, and whether they told the people in that family where they were staying.In this way, when Li Nian comes, I have a legitimate source for taking out the spring greetings and taking out things from the space-that is, knowing where I am staying, and the family sent the children and things to me. A logical thing?

As for not bringing the girl and Nanny Chen that I used to use, it is easy to explain: the rules of the rich and powerful families are strict, and it is already difficult for me to hide in the East City. Even children and things are not easy to see. Sending loyal servants to risk their lives to send them out, it is very reasonable to keep people from revealing their whereabouts.

That's it, when Li Nian hurried to the inn with a Chen Nanny, the master was already holding a baby waiting to be fed in his arms. Seeing them coming, he first said anxiously to Chen Nanny: "This child seems to be hungry." Already, feed her two bites first." The look of anxiety on his face was full.

Nanny Chen had to look at Li Nian, seeing him nodding, she carried the baby into the inner room to nurse, while Zhang Cuihua asked Nanny Chen about her background.According to Li Nian, this Nanny Chen is from Nancheng, and she just gave birth and finished confinement.In addition to this newborn in her family, there are three boys next to her shoulders, and a mother-in-law who is almost 60 years old, all opening their mouths and waiting for food.

What kind of profitable business can there be in that place in Nancheng?Nanny Chen's man went out to work as a coolie for others, and the wages he earned in a day could not be ignored, and the house was not his own. If this woman didn't come out to be Nanny Chen for others, the house would be taken back in three days. go.

At that time, the whole family would not even have a place to live, not to mention the newly born child, but the three boys above and the child's grandmother, it was hard to say how long they would live.

It's just that if you don't meet your family for two years, you can get ten taels of silver directly. It took only one day, and Mother Chen persuaded her man to agree - there is a mother-in-law at home who cooks for the children. Don't worry about raising your child.

Zhang Cuihua nodded after hearing this, and told Li Nian to wait and observe Mother Chen for a while, and if she was still dedicated to taking care of the child, then Li Nian could take Mother Chen back to see her child every three months, but this is not allowed right now. Tell Nanny Chen.

After Li Nian was resigned, Zhang Cuihua told him why she moved here suddenly: "Master is a concubine, even if he is seriously ill, no one will invite a doctor. I know that no one in the house is looking forward to the master's well-being." As a last resort, I hurriedly bought this house just in case. I thought there were still a few days left, but who knew that a bowl of medicine would go down, and the master went there without knowing why."

"There is no place in the mansion for my concubine and daughter-in-law to talk, and naturally I can't find anyone to test the medicine. I thought the girl was always the master's blood, but who knew that the family said the girl was a girl. The master is already extinct. The funeral is not for the old man, and the ancestral hall is not allowed to enter the old man."

"Think about it, the master is still on the genealogy, and they dare to treat him like this. If the girl and I still stay in that mansion, let alone a good life, maybe someday we will have to follow the master if we don't understand. I went. Not for myself, the poor girl has only passed a hundred days, I have to watch her become an adult." Zhang Cuihua burst into tears as she said that.

Li Nianzao had some doubts about Zhang Cuihua's identity - there were quite a few houses owned by the sons of officials and eunuchs in private, but not many houses owned by a woman.Now it's about the backyard privacy, doesn't it make sense?

"The neighbor asked again, and the slave said that the wife brought the master to Beijing to seek medical treatment. Who knew that the master went in a hurry, and the wife could not help the spirit back to the hometown by herself, so she deposited the master's coffin in the temple. Madam Do you think it's okay?" Li Nian asked tentatively.

Zhang Cuihua groaned, and said: "I am a woman, and I still have three years of filial piety to observe, and it will be three years after I interact with my neighbors. You can communicate with your neighbors as usual on weekdays. Wait until you have filial piety, and then communicate with others Let's date. About the west city, if you hear something, you want to tell me."

Li Nian understood that the master was still worried about the old family, and wanted to know whether the master could live up to his dignity after death, and maybe he wanted to hear whether the family would get retribution.People in Jingli love to talk about the good and bad of the Gao family. Although sometimes the news is a bit slow, and some stories are a bit outrageous, but the master wants to hear it, so it's okay to ask more.

In the evening, Zhang Cuihua asked Li Nian's family to call Mrs. Qian's girl over - only Nanny Chen couldn't serve the two of them alone - she was very happy when she asked her name, and she was not happy in this life. Knowing how to offend God, he has to add some troubles to himself everywhere: Mrs. Qian's girl is actually called Xiaocui.

Although Zhang Cuihua didn't think there was anything taboo about her name, she had to do as the Romans did. Changing Xiaocui's name to Mingliu sounded much more elegant than Xiaocui's.Ming Liu Huanxi thanked the master for giving the name - she had heard from her parents that the master would only give names to slaves who fell into the eyes of the master.Now that the master has given him a name, it means that the master trusts himself.

Only one girl was obviously not enough, so Zhang Cuihua asked Li Nian's family to give Li Nian a message, ordering him to buy three more girls, one should be over ten years old, and the other two should only be five or six years old.

Li Nian's family knew immediately that the remaining two younger maids were reserved for the girl, and after answering, they told Zhang Cuihua what Li Nian had inquired about today: "It's not the family where the slaves sent the letter. It's something new in the Rongguo Mansion. I heard that yesterday the old lady's yard was on fire. The old man was a dutiful son, so he ran to save the old lady. Who knew that the old lady was fine, but the old lady's legs were smashed by the falling beams. folded."

What?When Zhang Cuihua left Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty fought against both Jia Mu and Jia Zheng with one against two. How could he be the one whose leg was smashed in less than a day?

Zhang Cuihua just smiled: "The mansion of the Duke of the State, even the imperial doctor can ask for it, let alone a broken leg, it can be cured after a few days."

But Li Nian's family shook his head: "Madam doesn't go out on weekdays, I don't know who doesn't talk about it in this capital, the elders of Rongguo Mansion don't like their old ladies, and his wife is a successor, so he can't talk in the mansion. Letting brothers and daughters-in-law take care of the family, it's about asking the imperial doctor..."

It turned out that the Rongguo Mansion thought it was a deep house and compound, and no one outside knew about it. Unexpectedly, even Dongcheng City spread the matter within a day.I don't know what expressions Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang will have when they find out.

Zhang Cuihua began to think in her heart that she lived with Yingchun in this life, and the peace was peaceful, but the life seemed a little too ordinary at first glance.In order to make life less boring, Zhang Cuihua intends to treat the Rongguo Mansion as her own theater. In order to make the theater not so easy to drain, shouldn't she add some material to the Rongguo Mansion?

This matter is not in a hurry, and now the Rongguo Mansion only dares to let out the news that Jia She's leg was broken. It can be seen that although Jia She is at a disadvantage, he has not yet been completely suppressed, so Jia Mu and others dare not directly let Jia She die of illness .

That's fine, if Jia She is injured for a hundred days, Jia She should not die within a hundred days, and Jia's mother can't use Jia She's leg disease to hinder the view, let Jia She resign from the title to Jia Zhengteng's place—— Although there are some people who are afraid of honorable families nowadays, the Rongguo Mansion has the merits of Jia Daishan's protection in the past, and the emperor who has the reputation of benevolence will always give Jia She a time to heal his injuries.

If Jiamu and the others were smart, they wouldn't have asked Jia Amnesty to replace the person who attacked the noble just as soon as he was injured. Otherwise, even if Jia Zheng attacked the noble, the reputation would be useless.Jia Zheng, who has always been upright and upright, will not look so ugly.

After Li Nian's family saw that he had finished speaking, the master didn't speak for a long time, and he pretended to invite the imperial physician as he said, reminding the master that the male master went there because he didn't do his best in medicine, and wished he could slap himself.

Therefore, he intentionally made amends and said: "Fortunately, I heard that the son of the elder of the Rongguo Mansion is a good one. He was raised by the old lady. When the elder's leg was injured, he moved back to the elder's place. So it is said that he has a child. There is always hope."

The words are a little far-fetched, but the meaning of persuasion has come, it is to let Zhang Cuihua look at Yingchun, don't be too sad.Zhang Cuihua accepted the kindness of Li Nian's family, and made a forced smile: "I see, you are right, there is always hope for children."

Only then did the Li Nian's family let go of their hearts. If the master can't cheer up to live, they might have to be sold as slaves again. Who knows if they can be sold into such a talkative family?

The master is fine, only a slave can be stable. Li Nian's family, who has been sold out once, understands this truth deeply.

The couple are devoted to Zhang Cuihua, their master.Knowing that Zhang Cuihua is inconvenient living in the inn now, it is quick to buy a girl, and to repair the house as fast as possible, within a month, Zhang Cuihua has already started to pack up and move to her own house.

No cannons were fired at the door - the master is still in mourning now, even if he moves, he has to do so quietly, that's the way to keep mourning.

Seeing two carriages approaching, the doorman next door also came forward to help, and asked Li Nian why.Li Nian talked about the relationship with Zhang Cuihua according to the words he had agreed with Zhang Cuihua, and he passed it on to the left and right neighbors through his mouth.

That doorman only met Zhang Cuihua once, and it was the time when Zhang Cuihua was tightly wrapped. How could he recognize that the lady surrounded by maids and women, dressed in filial piety and wearing a veiled hat, is the woman he saw last time?He called Zhang Cuihua a thousand from a distance, received a reward from Li Nian, and went back to the mansion to report to his master.

It didn't take half an hour, a well-dressed woman came to greet Zhang Cuihua with a gift, and explained to Zhang Cuihua after being rewarded with a seat: "Our master's surname is Liu, and his family is in the silk business. It's our family's business. I heard that my wife is in mourning, and it's not easy for our wife to come to pay respects, so I sent me to pay her respects."

"Our wife said that if you are destined to be a neighbor, please don't be polite, please open your mouth if you have something to say. Don't dare to say anything else. What kind of materials should be used in the wife's house? Our wife can still decide to give the wife the latest .”

Zhang Cuihua wanted to thank Mrs. Liu for her kindness, and promised to rely on Mrs. Liu for her family's future clothes, so the smile on the woman's face did not fade at all.Then he asked his mother-in-law about his right neighbor:

"I just moved here. The old Luo who was looking at the house didn't meet me on the way back to Jinling. I didn't know where to ask. Over the years, the neighbors on the left and right have become unfamiliar. The house is not small. I heard that I didn't see anyone. Walk around. I must ask you, an old man of many years."

The mother-in-law was a little proud: "If the wife asks others, she may not know the truth. It is because our family has lived here for several generations that we know the details. There are three families in our street. The wife lives in the house, ours Come on, the family outside is still an imperial merchant."

Unexpectedly, there was another imperial merchant beside her, Zhang Cuihua made a look of interest: "It is such a remarkable family." On the face, she became puzzled again: "It is the imperial merchant, the business should be not small, Why is it so quiet every day?"

The mother-in-law laughed and said: "My wife doesn't know. It's because of their big business that there is more than one house here. Speaking of which, my wife should have heard of this family. The surname is Xia, and it is called Osmanthus Xia's family. , The offerings in the palace are all from their family."

Sweet-scented osmanthus summer home?Zhang Cuihua only felt that the sky was thundering, that someone who had never dealt with her in several lifetimes actually became her neighbor in this life?It's not easy to deal with people from the Xia family who can raise such an arrogant daughter like Xia Jingui.
