[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

When it was time to light the lights, a group of people could be heard coming in in front of the courtyard gate.Shazhi looked quietly through the window, and said with a smile: "The people who checked the night came, and we will close the door as soon as this group of people leave." Xiu invited her into the room to have a cup of tea, and chatted with Luochun, because these people still had to investigate elsewhere, so the housekeeper's daughter-in-law didn't stay here for long, and soon took her away.

In order to show her closeness, Pinxiu personally sent her to the door, and left Shazhi in the room with the little girls to help Luochun take off her clothes and make-up.When Pinxiu turned around, there was a person behind him.After the two entered the room, Pinxiu said: "Girl, Xi'er next to Second Mistress Lian is here."

Luochun, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, was startled, and gestured to Shazhi behind her to stop, turned her head to look at Xi'er, and asked puzzledly: "It's so late, but the second sister-in-law Lian's side of you came here?" Is there something or something?" What is so important that I can't even wait for tomorrow.

Xi'er didn't speak, she walked forward a few steps, came to Luochun, knelt down in front of her with a "plop", kowtowed respectfully to Luochun.Luo Chun was taken aback by Xi'er's actions, and hurriedly signaled Pinxiu and Sazhi who were also frightened aside to help Xi'er up.Xi'er straightened up, waved to Pinxiu and Shazhi, motioned them not to come forward, knelt on the ground and said, "Miss Liu, just let me kneel, I'm kneeling for Le'er."

"Le'er?" Mentioning the dead Le'er, Luo Chun was even more puzzled, and asked in bewilderment, "Why, didn't you come here this time because of Lian's second sister-in-law? Why did you have something to do with Le'er again for no reason?" What the hell is going on, I can’t understand why.”

Xi'er explained the reason to Luochun: "On the day Le'er left the house, because of time constraints, she couldn't come to say goodbye to the girl and thank the girl for saving her life. She has been thinking about this all the time. , I used to think that when Second Grandma stopped being angry with her, one day she would find a chance to come to see Second Grandma and kowtow to the girl to thank her. It's just..." After talking about Le'er's death, she choked up : "It's a pity that she will never have this opportunity again. I grew up with her, and then we worked together as an errand next to the second grandmother. We are like sisters. The best thing is, she is gone now, but I can fulfill her wish." Of course I have to help her do it. What’s more, I also want to thank Miss Six. After Le’er was beaten, Ping’er and I helped her find medicine in the mansion. Many, the one who is as generous as Miss Six is ​​the only one. And if Miss Six hadn’t told us how to help Leer’s fever go down, even if Leer’s injury was cured, if her fever didn’t go away, it’s because there is no way to ask a doctor Helping her with diagnosis and treatment, it will be a worrying matter in the future, so I really want to thank Miss Six for her help."

Facing Xi'er's series of gratitude, Luo Chun felt embarrassed, and she hurriedly said: "Don't say that, I just said a method casually, I don't know if it will work or not, let alone, it's for Le'er in the end. It's not you, Heping, who are so busy, I dare not take all the credit for it."

Xi'er shook her head, with tears in her eyes, and said sadly: "That's not the case. We are the big girls next to Lian's second grandma. We look beautiful, but in the end we are nothing but slaves, and the dignity is only given by the master." Yes, if the master wants you to live, you will live, and if you want to die, you will die. Life is worthless. Even if we have been with the second mistress for so many years, and the friendship between master and servant for so many years, in the end it is not..." Xi'er paused After a while, she didn't continue, sighed and said: "Whether Miss Six is ​​sympathetic or has other ideas, but she saved Le'er's life, it's a pity... After that, Second Mistress let Le'er go home, We thought that Le'er escaped this catastrophe, but we didn't expect her to die in the end."

Regarding Le'er's fate, Luo Chun couldn't help but sigh, and motioned for Xi'er to stand up and speak.Xi'er kowtowed to Luochun again, then got up and said: "Just now I thank Miss Six for Le'er, this is mine. I came here this time not only to thank Miss Six, but also to say goodbye. I will leave the house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..."

"What, you want to go?" Hearing this, Luochun was very surprised. She thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be a child of a family. If you want to go, where are you going? The second sister-in-law Lian will let you go." House?"

"Miss Liu remembers correctly. I am indeed a child of the Wang family, but I am different from An'er. The whole family came here with the second grandma. In our family, I was the only one who married with the second grandma. My parents, brothers and sisters are still working in the Wang family. A smile appeared on Xi'er's face and said: "At the beginning, Second Grandma wanted my family to come with her as a dowry. The reason is also because my family's errands can't be replaced by a suitable person for a while, which saved my life."

Hearing this, Luochun was puzzled, and asked very puzzled: "What do you mean? How did you save your life?" Xi'er smiled shyly, and said, "Second Grandma kicked out everyone around Second Master. It's unreasonable to let the second master guard her alone, and then what happened to Le'er happened, so the second grandma decided to open me up to the second master..."

Hearing that Wang Xifeng chose Xi'er to be Jia Lian's roommate, Luo Chun was taken aback, isn't it Ping'er, how did he become Xi'er?Immediately realized, Ping'er bought it from outside, and he has no roots in the mansion. It's not as good as Xi'er's family members are all in the Wang family, so it's easy to decide, so if you choose one of the two, the first choice is of course Xi'er .The reason why it became Ping'er later was because of an accident.

"...Although we had this intention when we came here with our second grandma as a dowry, my family and I were unwilling. My family has been working in the Wang family since my ancestors, and I have seen too many such things. It's the mud under my wife's feet. You can step on it as you like. It's not as good as a decent slave. My family doesn't want me to suffer this kind of grievance. When I came with my second grandma, they quietly told me to let me Tell the second grandma, when I get old, promise me to the steward of the house, and I will be the housekeeper's wife to the second grandma. When the second grandma came back, my family was worried that I would be fooled by the second grandpa, so they took me I said this to me again. In fact, even if my family didn’t say it, I wouldn’t agree to it. I grew up with my second grandma. I know what kind of temperament the second grandma is. She doesn’t rub her eyes What's more, with the lessons learned by An'er and Le'er, how could I jump into this "pit of fire". So I directly refused after the second grandma told me that she wanted to open my face. In order to show my attitude I was so resolute that I even knelt in front of Second Mistress and swore a poisonous oath."

Looking at Xi'er with a resolute face, Luo Chun couldn't help sighing, and said, "Although this is the case, you don't need to leave the mansion. Didn't your family tell you to be the housekeeper and daughter-in-law for Lian's second sister-in-law? This means to tell Second Sister-in-law Lian that she can stay in the mansion completely, and Second Sister-in-law Lian should be very happy to come."

Xi'er smiled desolately, and said: "Miss Six doesn't know our girls well enough. If it's an ordinary person, it's a good thing if the girl around her doesn't covet her husband, and is willing to marry the steward in the house to help win over people. If Second Mistress Before she made it clear, she would be happy when she heard what I said, but after she said it, if I refused, she would think that I don't know how to flatter her. I don't want to, although she can't "force the head of a cow without drinking water" It's just that I violated her will and made her unhappy. Second Mistress is a confident and even proud person. Even if she doesn't have to be wooed by the people around her, she will take care of the affairs of the house now, so I If I tell her this, she will feel that I am looking for a way out for myself, and even have the meaning of underestimating her ability, but Second Mistress is most proud of her ability, so I accidentally offended Second Mistress several times. I'm a Nilin. Therefore, Second Grandma has already sent someone to deliver a letter, asking my family to take me back."

It turned out that this was the case, Luo Chun suddenly realized after hearing this, and nodded slightly, although a little surprised, but thinking about it carefully, this is also like Wang Xifeng's behavior style.Xi'er sighed lightly, bowed to Luochun, and said: "At first, I wanted to say goodbye to Miss Six, but I didn't expect to talk so much, thanks to Miss Six's patience to listen to me. .Due to Miss Six’s rest, it’s time for me to go back.”

Seeing that Xi'er was about to leave, Luochun did not spare her, and said to Pinxiu beside her, "Pinxiu, send Xi'er for me." Seeing Xi'er leave with Pinxiu, Luochun leaned on the pillow Dazed, Xi'er left, and now only Ping'er was left among the four big girls around Wang Xifeng. Even if Ping'er was not the best choice, Wang Xifeng had no other choice, so she should soon hear that Ping'er was killed. Open news.

Sure enough, Luochun guessed it right, Xier came to Luochun for more than a month in Xi'er's residence, to ask for advice on acupuncture, and to choose patterns by the way.When talking with Pinxiu, the conversation gradually turned to other things.Xiren said with a smile: "I went to Lian's second grandma yesterday, but I didn't want to, but I heard a happy event. Second grandma wanted to give Ping'er beside her to Lian's second master to take over the house. Ask someone to choose a good day."

Although Xi'er didn't mention the final candidate for Jia Lian's face when she came that day, Pinxiu and the others don't have to think about it, they know who it will be in the end, so they didn't express any big surprise after hearing Xiren's words, and said calmly :"Yeah?"

Xiren let go of his hands, and sighed with envy: "If Ping'er hadn't been gentle and peaceful on weekdays, and loyal to Second Grandma, this matter would not have happened to her. It's hard for Second Grandma to praise her, Ping'er like her It can be regarded as being reliable for life, and this is a blessing that no one else can cultivate."

Saori who was threading the thread at the side heard it, glanced sideways, threw the things in his hand into the dustpan, and said, "Humph, what kind of blessing, shit blessing!" Xiren was startled by Saori's action After a jump, he was taken aback after hearing her words, and was about to say something.Pinxiu gave Shazhi a hard look, and said before her: "Shut up, don't open your mouth if you can't speak! Just stay there." Turning her head and smiling, she said to Xiren: "Don't pay attention to her." , her mind is not clear. We will go to congratulate her together after we set a date later. "

The attacker smiled and agreed.Seeing Luochun coming out from the back room, she hurriedly got up, said hello to her, and asked with a smile: "Pinxiu and I just said that Lian's second grandma would choose a good day to give Ping'er a face to take over the house, so we made an appointment to congratulate her. Girl, do you want to go there together?"

Hearing this, Luochun shook his head and said: "Forget it, you guys go on your own, I won't join in the fun." Then he went out, and took Sha Zhi to Mrs. Xing's place.Staying at Mrs. Xing's place until sunset, Luochun was going to have dinner at Jiamu's place, and then came back.Because it was a bit late to come out from Mrs. Xing, Luochun got out of the car and took a shortcut with Shazhi.

Passing through the narrow passage and entering the west corner gate, when turning the corner, Luo Chun was about to continue walking, when he heard voices coming from the front, he hurriedly stopped.It was Li Wan and Ping'er who were talking, and it seemed that Li Wan was congratulating Ping'er again. When Luo Chun heard what they were talking about, she immediately understood that although Ping'er hadn't been formally disrespected, she was about to be confiscated. The news should have spread in the mansion, that's why Li Wan congratulated her when he met her here.

Although Luochun couldn't see Ping'er's demeanor clearly, but from the voice and tone of her and Li Wan's conversation, it could be heard that the words were not as clever and sharp as usual, but very vague.Seeing Ping'er's performance, Li Wan said with a smile: "But after saying a few words, you are so shy, what is the point of this, if this is the case, there will be many places where you will be shy in the future."

Faced with Li Wan's teasing, Ping'er just smiled and didn't respond.Because Li Wan's identity is a widow, she can't say anything that goes a little too far, and after seeing Ping'er's reaction and thinking about herself, she suddenly felt bored, so she smiled and took Suyun and the others away.

After Li Wan and the others had gone far away, Ping'er raised his head and looked around. Inside the flower wall next to him, there was a garden full of fragrance, and a branch of red apricot came out of the wall, full of flower buds, all in full bloom, looking like clouds in the sky, Such as brocade.A gust of wind blew, and the petals of Mifenhong fell with the wind. Ping'er stretched out his hand, and a few petals fell into her hand.Pinch the petals in his hand between his fingers, feeling the smoothness between his fingertips, Ping'er felt something in his heart for a moment, he didn't know what he thought of, tears fell from his eyes.

Luo Chun looked at Ping'er crying with tears all over her face, she really didn't want to disturb her, but when she heard footsteps coming from behind, it seemed that someone was coming, if Ping'er knew that she was "overhearing" here, she would probably be very embarrassed Alright, so I tiptoed back a few steps, and then stepped harder on purpose, and raised my voice and said loudly to Saori behind me: "Hurry up, or the old lady will be late."

Hearing Luochun's voice, Ping'er was startled, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on his face.While talking, Luochun and Sazhi came to Ping'er.Although Ping'er tried her best to cover it up, the slightly red and swollen eye sockets and the fact that she had just cried were all exposed by the fact that she had just cried.Before Luochun could speak, Ping'er forced a smile and explained to Luochun first: "It's just the beginning of summer, and it's extremely hot, and I'm sweating. Just now I felt the corners of my eyes stinging, probably because of the seepage of sweat. It hurts when it gets in your eyes."

Luo Chunming knew the truth was not like this, but he didn't point it out. Besides, even if it was revealed, she didn't have the ability to solve her problems, so she could only follow Ping'er's words and nodded in agreement: "Well, it's really hot. It seems that this summer will not be cool."

Ping'er smiled, turned and left.Looking at Ping'er's somewhat lonely back, Luochun let out a long sigh, filled with emotion in his heart.Maybe Ping'er came here as a dowry with Wang Xifeng in the past, and had a longing for Jia Lian, but after seeing Jia Lian's "ruthlessness" and Wang Xifeng's "envy", she is a smart person and knows what she should do is the best, but Fate made her no choice.Judging from Ping'er's tears just now, she is actually unwilling, but she has no ability to resist, so she has no choice but to accept Wang Xifeng's arrangement.

Looking up at the flowers still blooming on the branches, and looking down at the fallen flowers on the ground, Luochun let out a helpless sigh.Sazhi behind her heard her sigh and couldn't help but said: "Girl, Ping'er is so pitiful..." Luochun heard the footsteps behind her and the voices of a few women, and hurriedly called The gesture told Saori to shut up.

When the women passed by, Luochun glanced back at Shazhi, sighed and said, "Don't look at this pitiful and that pitiful all day long. In fact, compared with them, your girls are quite pitiful. So So don't feel sorry for others, just feel sorry for your girl." After speaking, she walked forward without looking back, Saori was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately, and hurried to catch up.
