Leaning on the rail and smiling at Liu Niang

After hearing Zhao Shiqing's pointed words, Liu Niang felt chills all over her body. She stood stiffly on the spot and didn't dare to move. She watched Zhao Shiqing leave and couldn't say a word until she was sure that Zhao Shiqing took the maidservant away. , she let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground, she felt that her feet were so soft, and even her eyes were a little blurry, she hurriedly shouted: "Zhaodi, come and help me!"

It seems that after a long time, I heard Zhaodi's whimpering voice: "Girl, I, I can't get up."

Liu Niang had no choice but to slap herself hard on the face, and struggled to get up, looked down, and saw that Zhao Di was limp on the ground, with tears and snot all over her face, her face was pale, and she seemed to be worse than herself.

This gave Liu Niang a big jump, she pulled Zhaodi up from the ground, and the two staggered back to Xiaoxiangyuan with mutual help.

Both of them were covered in mud, and they didn't dare to disturb the other girls. After finally changing their clothes, Liu Niang poured a cup of herbal tea for both of them. Bloody also came back, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? You look more scared than me?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but when Zhaodi's tears came up again, Liu Niang was really surprised. Although this maid is young, she is really reassuring, and she is a little confused by her distraught appearance.

Seeing Zhaodi crying pitifully, and thinking that she was only twelve or thirteen years old, Liu Niang felt sorry for her, and quickly patted her on the back comfortingly, and said like a child: "Good Zhaodi, you are the most capable, don't worry about it." I'm crying, don't be afraid if you have anything to do, the girl will help you with your ideas."

Zhaodi was sobbing and touching her tears, and said: "I do have something to hide from the girl. When I was working in the outer courtyard, I was also working in the girls' yard. At that time, I was young, and I always thought about it." The one who stands out, although the girl over there said it badly, but those who are favored are always different, so I figured out a way to work around a favored girl."

She said, with a very frightened expression on her face: "It was fine at the beginning. Mr. Lang liked her for a while, and often came to look for her, but one time the girl's personal maid was not feeling well, so I asked me to replace her." She keeps watch, I am naturally happy."

Liu Niang listened to her, while gently stroking her back to help her relax, Zhao Di squeezed the armrest of the armchair tightly and continued: "Mr. , I offended Mr. Lang for some reason, Mr. Mr. went crazy at that time, and hit the girl severely with something in his hands. I knelt on the side to persuade Mr. Mr. Kicked me away and continued beating her, first She still has a voice, so she won't shout later."

She was talking about tears falling down, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I went to see after Mr. Lang left, and the girl's face was disfigured. I was seriously ill that time, and I didn't dare to see it when I recovered. I'm working in the outer courtyard, so I can only think about the backyard." She hugged Liu Niang and cried loudly, "Girl, I really don't want to go to the outer courtyard."

Liu Niang was also very frightened, and said in a loud voice: "I'm not going! I'm not going to die! I'm not going!"

Zhaodi felt at ease, wiped away her tears and said: "But this time, let him see the girl, he is the most greedy for new things, and he doesn't know what to do. Hearing from the boys, Mr. Lang has a good memory. alright."

Liu Niang murmured to herself: "There are so many beauties in Langjun's outer courtyard, maybe they won't remember me in a while!"

The two were silent for a while, Liu Niang felt timid after thinking about it, and said in a trembling voice: "That, that girl you said is a life, he, is he not afraid of the case of human life?"

Zhaodi pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "The girls in the outer courtyard were either given by Lang Jun's friends, or bought from outside. The matchmaker has been preparing to be a concubine for a wealthy family since she was a child, or she will die. The last one or two, don’t report or prosecute, who cares about the lives of these people?”

Liu Niang opened her mouth to refute, but she couldn't say anything when she got to her mouth, that's right, who cares about the lives of these duckweed-like girls?

She thought about it for a while, and vaguely remembered that when Zhao Shiqing came, there were two maidservants next to her, and they said "Shuang Niang" and so on. Zhao Shiqing would come to the backyard today, and it seemed that it was because of this Shuang Niang, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, and asked Zhaodi: : "There are two maidservants beside Mr. Lang, it seems that the Shuang Niangzi is looking for him, who is the Shuang Mistress?"

Zhaodi thought for a while and said: "It's the twin lady who has been living in the mansion, Langjun's cousin, she doesn't go out often, and we rarely see her."

After hearing this, Liu Niang felt thoughtful and said nothing.

In the end, Zhao Diqiang cheered up and went to the kitchen to get dinner and came back. The two of them spent some time, washed up and went to bed.

It was night, but Liuniang couldn't fall asleep, she heard Zhaodi's even breathing outside, and the north wind whistling outside, she just felt that her whole body was extremely cold.

During the day, he met Mr. Lang, who was her husband and master, but she was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart. He looked at her as if she was not a person, but an object, so naked.

She should submit to him and obediently be a concubine, but for some reason, thinking of this, Liu Niang's heart is full of resistance, and she even hates her nominal master very much .

What Zhaodi said, and what she saw and heard since she entered the mansion, made her very scared.

Compared with getting along with the male master, she prefers the hostess. The lady treats her very well and smiles at her. The lady looks so reliable and powerful.

The lady treats others very well, she takes care of Miss Zhang and Erlang, and puts herself and Miss Xie, who have never met before, under the protection of her feathers, but she is not as kind and cowardly as Liu Niang's aunt.

She is that powerful.

Before falling asleep in a daze, Liu Niang vaguely thought of Pingjun's heroic sword dance.

When will the lady come home, I really miss her.

The two masters and servants in Xiaoxiangyuan were at a loss, and Jun Ping's life at her mother's house was not peaceful.

She suddenly received a letter from her natal family's old servant. Her only blood relative, her younger brother Wang Dingzhi, was ill again. This time, she didn't know what happened. Maybe it was the cool breeze blowing at night, or maybe it was a sip of cold tea.When Ping Jun came back and looked at Wang Dingzhi's pale and frail face by the bed, he felt a maddening sense of powerlessness in his heart.

The one who was sick was still laughing.

Jun Ping pinched his younger brother's face helplessly, and said mockingly: "You are in your twenties, and you will get sick when the wind blows, but you are really a weak willow supporting the wind! It's so hard for me to help such a younger brother Find someone to marry into."

Wang Dingzhi smiled nonchalantly, and said coquettishly, "Sister, do you dislike me?"

Ping Jun shivered, almost rolled his eyes and scolded him: "All right, San Lang, don't pretend."

Wang Dingzhi laughed lightly when he heard this, and started coughing while laughing. After a while, he coughed so loudly that he might cough up his lungs.

Jun Ping turned his younger brother over on the bed with ease, helped him to press on his knees and patted his back. When he stopped coughing, he gently stroked his back and said, "Is it better? When I came Seeing that expression of yours, I was so anxious that I was about to cry, you said that she has been in the door for so long, and she is still not used to you, who has three illnesses and five disasters?"

Wang Dingzhi lay on Sister's lap and said sullenly, "Sister, I'm really in my twenties, don't just turn me over and over, okay?"

Ping Jun put Wang Dingzhi away again, pulled up the quilt to cover half of his face, and apologized without sincerity: "I'm really sorry, good Sanlang, sister will definitely not do this next time."

Wang Dingzhi weakly stretched out a hand to move the quilt down, and said with his mouth open: "Sister, actually I got the news that I asked you to come. My aunt is ill. I heard that the illness is very serious. The officials have been pressing Now, there is no news from outside.”

He didn't mention where he got the news from, and Jun Ping didn't ask either.

The two were silent for a while, and Jun Ping smiled wryly: "The official family is old, if my aunt's illness is not good, no one can persuade him, and Wang Tulutou in the cabinet is even more powerful."

Wang Dingzhi didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he laughed a few words sullenly, and said: "My sister is the most narrow-minded, and Wang Yong suffered from alopecia in just one year, so you call him bald head every year."

Wang Dingzhi paused and said again: "Wang Yong is covering the sky in the cabinet now. The officials trust him, and Qian's old life is not easy."

He felt very dizzy for a moment, and his thoughts were a little fuzzy, so he stretched out his hand to hold Jun Laping's hand, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I really hate the official family, I hate him for being stupid, and I hate him for being too shrewd."

Ping Jun calmly stuffed Wang Dingzhi's hand into the quilt, and reached in to hold his hand. His palm was a little cold. After all, it was a man, much bigger than Ping Jun's.

Pingjun was in a daze for a moment. Many years ago, Sanlang's was only small, his hands were as fleshy as glutinous rice balls, and he couldn't walk steadily. Tease him, the whole family loves this baby bump.

But after a while, San Lang has married his wife, but the general's mansion is empty, such a big mansion, only this precious bump is left.

The family is ruined.

Ping Jun's eyes were a little misty, she gritted her teeth, pressed down some inexplicable emotions, caressed her younger brother's callused hand, and said softly: "Zhao Furen is dead, father's debt is paid, and there is Zhao Shiqing, Wang Yong is also living well, we can't touch the officials, and we can make him feel bad."

She looked at her brother's peaceful sleeping face, heard his quiet breathing, and said in a low voice, "Take your time, we've been waiting for a long time, let's wait a little longer."
