[Red Mansion] Third Sister You's New Life in the Red Mansion

So Ying was locked in the backyard room, and Qingdong locked it with a click, "Second Miss, I'm sorry. When it's time for dinner, my wife will bring you something to eat, Mr. You I said, I will let you go in a few days, don't do stupid things."

Hearing the sound of their footsteps going away, Xuan Ying hurriedly leaned over the crack of the door to look, only to find that the newly replaced door leaf was very strong, and a thick copper lock was hung on the door, which looked particularly strong.Su Ying regretted her rashness a bit.But she had dealt with Zhou Xing before, if she didn't go out, let him spend at most an hour, and come to this rouge shop to look for her, I wonder if that silly boy took it to heart?

Of course Zhou Cheng firmly remembered what Xiu Ying said.While he was sitting at the pancake stand for another cup of tea, he saw the eldest girl Xiuxiu coming out of the inn with Mama He, not even wearing a veiled hat, and the eldest girl seemed preoccupied, wondering something.Zhou Ben was going to turn around to avoid it, but later realized that she didn't notice him at all, and the two walked straight past.

Zhou Cheng felt that it was very strange. The big girl's pair of tiny feet were so beautifully bound that she wouldn't go out in a leisurely way. What's the matter with her?It seems that this matter will have to be told to the second girl later.

Thinking of the second girl, he couldn't help thinking of his childhood.At that time, the wife wanted to bind the second girl's feet, but the second girl refused to do it, she climbed the wall and hid in the trees, crying loudly, and swore that if she was forced again, she would rather die.The whole family felt helpless about her, and at that time, Xiu Zongzhao didn't have a concubine, so he still loved the little daughter in his heart, so he relied on her, and now he has such a pair of walking like flying feet.Looking at it now, it's better not to tie the feet, otherwise, how could the second girl run all over the street with them?The big girl can't do it anymore. She shakes every step and every step, which seems to be strenuous.The second girl is better, she has a cheerful personality, speaks with a smile, and never condescends. Zhou Cheng thinks she is cute no matter how he looks at it.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Cheng estimated that it would be almost an hour, but the second girl still did not come out of the rouge shop.He just got up and went to the shop to find her.

The shop is still busy, the weather is fine today, and there are many people who come to shop, the counter is surrounded by women who are buying rouge powder, trying on hair oil and looking at their lips.Qinglan and Qingzhi were so busy that they kept calling their mother, Mrs. Liu, to come out and help.

Called by her two daughters, Mrs. Liu could only drop what she was doing, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was preoccupied.The head of the family told her just now that the second girl was locked in the backyard, which shocked her.Although she had known for a long time that her husband was having an affair with that official, she still felt a little guilty and afraid when it came to this kind of ungrateful time.She was an honest person.

Mrs. Liu was absent-mindedly helping to collect the copper coins, weighing the scattered silver, when she saw a bronze-skinned young man barging in. This young man was tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. After entering, he was very polite and asked Mrs. Liu, "Master, where is my second daughter?"

Mrs. Liu was taken aback when she heard the words, a plate of loose silver almost fell on the ground, Qingzhi was a little unhappy when she saw it, "I said you kid, you are careless, what girl? Did you go to the wrong place? Girl Why, there are many flower boats on the Qinhuai River in the back, but we don't have any here!" The two sisters have been busy all the time, and they didn't notice that Xiu Ying entered the shop just now, so they are very confident, and they don't know Zhou Cheng either. .

Zhou Cheng became anxious when he heard that, "You're lying! I saw with my own eyes that my second daughter entered this shop just an hour ago! I watched from the sidelines, but she never went out!"

Qinglan was older, so she laughed with a yo, "My little brother, look, the people who come into the store are all shopping customers, and we don't know your second girl, even if she comes in, why don't we still come in?" Is it possible to hide her? Didn't you see that she has gone out?"

Zhou Cheng's eyes widened, "This shop belongs to my girl, and you actually say you don't know her?"

Qingzhi blinked, "Could it be that you are talking about the second girl of the master's family? But we have been here all this time, and we haven't seen her come in? Besides, who are you?"

Zhou Cheng stomped anxiously, "Who do you care about me? Let me tell you, I saw her come in today with my own eyes. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning! If you still refuse to admit it, I will go in and find her!" On the one hand, we are going to the backyard.

"Hey, hey, where are you going? Is the backyard where you can go?" Qingzhi became anxious when she saw it, and immediately ran out from behind the counter and stopped in front of Zhou Cheng, "What are you doing, kid?" What's the matter? If you say yes or no, we can still lie to you? You can swear, and I can swear, if the second girl is in this backyard, it will be called lightning to strike our family!" She crossed her waist, her small chest Standing tall, "Don't look at me as a woman, I'm not afraid of you, if you have the guts to touch me, try!"

After all, Zhou Cheng was two years younger than her, and he was a thin-skinned young man, so he blushed with embarrassment, backed away, and was finally kicked out.

Walking around in front of the shop, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, so he had to leave dejectedly after a while.

Walking along this street, after walking dozens of steps, in the gap between two shops, he saw the sparkling light on the Qinhuai River behind him, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Zhou Cheng, who was born in Tianzhuang, has excellent water skills since he was a child.The backyards of this row of pavements are all facing the river, the kind that would flood the backyards when the river swelled.Zhou Cheng found a place where no one was around, took off his clothes and hid it.He only wore short-nosed trousers, and plunged into the water.After swimming under the water for a while, he stuck his head out of the water to breathe, and took a look at the location of Zheng Ji's gouache shop.Because there were flower boats passing by on the river from time to time, in order to attract business, every shop facing the river raised high flags and banners on the attic, so Zhou Cheng quickly determined the location of Zheng's backyard.

The backyard of the Zheng family was newly built because it had been dug up by thieves, so there were still many abandoned bricks and stones piled up underwater and outside the courtyard walls, which provided convenience for Zhou Cheng.A pile of bricks and stones was built behind the wall, and he rolled easily into the yard.

Looking at the only room with a big lock, Zhou Chengfu felt his heart, and immediately walked over to the wall, and called out in a low voice, "Second Miss!"

I heard Chu Ying say inside: "Zhou Cheng? Is it really you?"

Zhou Cheng hummed happily, and then asked anxiously: "What's going on? Second girl, why are you locked up here by them?" He insisted that it was Qing Zhi and Qing Lan outside who locked up Second girl. Not only is he locked up, but he also refuses to admit it. It's really disgusting.

Knowing that she couldn't explain it clearly to him, Chu Ying said, "Don't worry about what's going on, you should think of a way to get me out."

Zhou Cheng tried to twist the big lock on the door, "Second Miss, this lock is strong, I can't break it."

Chu Ying thought for a while, the person surnamed You locked herself here, naturally she was afraid that she would ruin his good deeds.This man has been deliberate and planning for a long time, it seems that he is determined to marry Zheng Shi, but Xiu Ying does not want him to succeed.She is not opposed to Zheng's remarriage, after all, Zheng is only in her early thirties, it is inhumane to make her a widow for the rest of her life, and as a modern person, Xuanying has never thought of this.However, this person must not be named You.

Leaving aside the fate of becoming the Third Sister You, this person surnamed You is obviously very scheming and definitely not a kind person.As a person with an official status, there is of course a reason for deliberately seeking to marry a widow with two oil bottle daughters. In principle, it is only for money and sex, or both, it cannot be For charity.

Having said that, a young, beautiful and rich widow is a sought-after commodity in any era.For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two prime ministers who fought to marry a rich widow, and that widow might not be beautiful.Although Mrs. Zheng has two daughters with her, how can she know that these two daughters will not be able to climb the ranks in the future?Isn't this also a money tree?This is also the reason that the bigger the family, the more they know that daughters are more expensive, because they need to consolidate their class through marriage and exchange benefits. The role of daughters is much greater than that of poor families.

Of course Chu Ying knew that the person surnamed You would not harm her for the time being, but she was not willing to be controlled by others, she had to hold the initiative of the matter in her hands.

If Zheng's anomaly yesterday was related to this You, then it means that he has already started to act.With Zheng's superficiality and stupidity, she could easily be deceived.In particular, the man surnamed You was tall and tall, with a straight nose and a straight mouth, and a personable demeanor. He looked like an attractive person, which fit the aesthetics of a middle-aged girl like Zheng's.Once an old house catches fire, it is very difficult to extinguish.

After thinking for a while, Xiuying had an idea, and said to Zhou Chengdao outside, "Go to the shop outside now, and bring the two sisters, Qinglan and Qingzhi, to the backyard."

Zhou Cheng was taken aback, and immediately refused, "No, Second Miss, I swam from the river behind, and I didn't have any clothes on!"

"No way? Are you naked?" Xu Ying subconsciously wanted to look through the crack of the door.

Zhou Cheng hurriedly hid aside, "No, Second Miss, I just wore a pair of shorts." They were still wet and sticking to his body.

"Hey, this is just right!" Xuanying couldn't help but laugh, "If they start shouting, it will be lively. You listen to me, go!"

"Oh—" Zhou Cheng responded aggrievedly. He felt embarrassed, but he dared not listen to the second girl's words.

So he came to the front of the shop loudly and called out, "Miss Qinglan, Miss Qingzhi! I've been waiting for you for a long time, why don't you come over?" After speaking, he didn't wait for the people in the shop to see Clear, he quickly ran to the backyard.

The eyes of everyone in the store were instantly attracted to him, Qinglan nearly fainted, Qingzhi screamed, and the two sisters left their work and hurried to the backyard.

Zhou Cheng made a face at them, nimbly climbed up to the top of the wall, and jumped down. Then there was a "plop", obviously, he jumped into the water and escaped.

A group of watching women and girls rushed to the backyard, gossip is a woman's nature, immediately, everyone started chattering.

"Miss Qing family, who was that little brother just now?"

"Naked, it seems to be wearing crotch pants, what is he doing in this backyard?"

"Yes, yes, is it possible that one of you is a good friend?"

"Of course the two sisters know each other! I heard their names being called!"

"........."

Qinglan and Qingzhi looked at each other, and were about to talk, when Xiuying took the opportunity to beat the door leaf vigorously inside, and then shouted at the top of her voice, "Help! I'm the second girl of the owner of this shop!"

"The shopkeeper Qing's family locked their master's girl in this backyard!"

"In broad daylight, there is such a thing, it is unlawful! Neighbors, neighbors, help me report to the police! Please!"
