Dai Yuxin says

Zijuan had no choice but to get up and go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with tears in her eyes. She saw Daiyu sitting on the bed wrapped around the quilt, and Xueyan was feeding soup and medicine with a small bowl.

Zijuan felt as if a big stone had fallen from her heart, she covered her chest with her hands, let out a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile, "Is the girl feeling better?"

Daiyu swallowed the medicine juice in her mouth, and said with a smile: "I just suffered from some wind and cold, boil some medicine sent by Ah Shan, eat it, and sweat. Where have you been? Seeing your face covered with tears, Who made you angry?" Zijuan wanted to hide it from Daiyu, knowing that she had seen it, so she told the story of meeting Jiamu.

After hearing this, Daiyu said calmly after a while: "Silly girl, don't go back for anything in the future." Zijuan wanted to explain, but Daiyu waved her hand to signal her not to say any more.

Until the next afternoon, a woman came to send a message, saying: "Second Grandma Lian is not feeling well, so she invited the imperial doctor to come and see Miss Lin, and she asked Zijuan to tidy up and wait." She blushed and replied angrily: "Grandma, please go back and tell me, our girl is blessed by the gods, and she was cured yesterday, so there is no need for the doctor to look at her."

Xueyan, who was standing under the eaves of the corridor to dry clothes, laughed and said, "Sister Zijuan has become hardened today?"

Zijuan raised her head and said bitterly: "The rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry, let alone I am Miss Lin's girl? This is called a scholar who can't be killed." Daiyu clapped her hands in the room and praised: "Good girl! To know how to kill a scholar is not to be humiliated."

When Mother Jia heard that Daiyu didn't ask the imperial physician to see her, she didn't take any medicine, and she recovered from her illness, she was wondering.

Mrs. Wang knew that Daiyu was ill again, she was so happy that she seemed to have won the lottery, she came in with a smile all over her face, and said with a smile: "I heard that the eldest girl is fine, it's just that girl Zijuan who is making a fuss, and doesn't care if there is anyone here. No one came here to talk nonsense. The daughter-in-law saw that Zijuan and the eldest girl hadn't learned anything else in the past few years, but she had learned to play tricks. The old lady still remembers that the Lin family was coming to pick up the eldest girl back to the south. Baoyu was so dizzy and sick for a long time. Yesterday, she said that the eldest girl was so sick that she lost her mind, which made the old lady eat poorly. I really don’t know what kind of heart this girl is!”

Mother Jia blinked her old eyes, looked at the daughter-in-law and asked, "Is this how you see this girl?"

Mrs. Wang put on a blank face, pretending to be honest, and faltered: "The daughter-in-law reads some dramas, and always says that something happened to the young lady, and she has nothing to do with the maid. Zijuan was trained by the old lady to give to the eldest girl, of course it is good Yes, it's just that she and the eldest girl have grown up with her heart over the years. Cough cough, maybe the daughter-in-law is overwhelmed."

Mother Jia was stunned for a while, staring at Mrs. Wang with her old eyes, and said slowly: "I'm getting old, and I feel more and more mentally weak recently. Some things are hard to think about, but you remind me of it. Zijuan is a mansion. The Li family gave birth to a child, and her old lady is now a servant in that room?"

"My daughter-in-law reconciled with Chai'er and found out that Zijuan has an older brother. A few years ago, the master was an official outside and took him out. Later, the master came back and said that he sent him to deliver a letter to a friend, and he sent him to that friend by the way. Yes. What is the name of that friend? The master didn’t say anything, and the wife didn’t ask either. A few years ago, Zijuan’s old lady worked in the Zhuangzi, and she heard that she was infected with the plague. In the mountains, I never came back again. Whether they are dead or alive, no one knows, it was rumored that the couple sneaked away to his son."

Jia Mu asked: "So, there is no one in Zijuan's house?"

"There should be no one else." Mrs. Wang shook her head and replied a little annoyed.

Mother Jia closed her eyes and stopped talking, while Mrs. Wang silently turned the beads in her hand.After waiting for a while, Mother Jia opened her eyes and said, "I gave Zijuan to Miss Lin, and there is no reason to want it back."

"The old lady's words are good. The daughter-in-law thinks that some boys in the mansion are getting old, so it's better to allocate some older girls in the mansion to them. This will not only calm the minds of slaves, but also reduce the cost of the mansion. Zijuan is also here. Matching age, the daughter-in-law matches her with someone, and then chooses a good job for the eldest girl."

Mother Jia waved her hand, she didn't say yes or no, she just said, "You go, I'm tired too."

The main road speaks, and there are people in the grass.The conversation between Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu was all heard by the mandarin ducks outside the door.This mandarin duck and Zijuan are best friends. When she heard that Mrs. Wang was going to play against Zijuan, she was very nervous, so she secretly ran to find Zijuan, dragged Zijuan to a secluded place, and told Zijuan exactly, Anxiously said to Zijuan: "You are Miss Lin's personal maid, and you have a good relationship with Miss Lin. According to the usual reasoning, you are going to marry Miss Lin as a dowry. It's just that your wife doesn't like Miss Lin. You are not very old now. , Madam wants to marry you, and she obviously has no good intentions for you. Zijuan, what will you do in the future?" Zijuan lowered her head and thought for a while, "Since the old lady gave me to Miss Lin, I belong to Miss Lin. Miss Lin has the final say on this matter, I don't care what other people say, I just listen to Miss Lin. If my wife pushes me into a hurry, I will die." Yuanyang said anxiously: "Although Miss Lin is the niece of the family Son, but the wife doesn't like her, and the old lady can't take her too seriously, she can't be her own master, so how can she protect you?"

"I believe Miss Lin will not leave me alone, she will find a way for me." Zijuan's tone was firm, her eyes full of trust.Yuanyang looked at it, and couldn't help but envious eyes flashed in his eyes, and said sincerely: "Zicuckoo, you are more fortunate than me. You should quickly find a way to reveal to Miss Lin, so that she can find a way for you earlier. I guess Mrs. Second Grandma Bao has already made up her mind, maybe you will leave the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the next two days. I have to go back before no one is watching. You must not be careless!"

The mandarin ducks left in a hurry, and the azalea seemed to have fallen apart, and returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with a dazed expression, sitting there in a daze.

Xueyan looked at Zijuan and said: "Sister Zijuan, sister Yuanyang dragged you out, what kind of stupid medicine did you take?" Zijuan sat there motionless, as if she didn't hear Xueyan's teasing at all.Daiyu felt that something was wrong, so she ordered Xueyan to close the courtyard door, pulled Zijuan back to the house, let her sit on the edge of her bed, looked at Zijuan with a smile and asked: "Zijuan, I have died once. Is there anything else I can't accept? No matter what, you can't hide it from me, you know?"

Zijuan curled her mouth, covered her face with her hands, cried out with a whimper, and told Daiyu intermittently about Mrs. Wang and Baochai's plan to match her with a boy.Xueyan leaning against the door raised her brows upside down, her eyes widened, and said in surprise: "It's also thanks to them that they came up with such a nasty idea!"

Daiyu patted Zijuan's back, which was out of breath from crying, and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, good Zijuan, listen to me, tomorrow I will go to the old lady and give you the contract of selling yourself." Come over."

"Can I really come here? I am the son of a family in this mansion. Now, my mother and brother are gone, and I am the only one left here. I have made up my mind, anyway, I have only one life. They If you want it, just take it. But, I can't bear to miss you!" Zijuan said, and couldn't help crying.Daiyu patted her hard and said angrily, "Look at you, what are you talking about? As long as I'm here, I can't let them manipulate me."
