Master Wei only felt himself in a trance for a moment, and then came to a courtyard.
The yard was small and narrow, and the surroundings were dark and there was no light. He, who had lived in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, couldn't help frowning.
A woman's thin voice suddenly sounded, "It's fine, why did you drag me here, you didn't see that I was eating!"
He was a little curious, and walked over following the sound, and found that it was two women standing in the corner of the yard, wearing sackcloth, who looked like maidservants.
One of them looked unhappy, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you be asked to take care of the little lady last night? Why was there no one in the room when I came here this morning?"
The other rolled his eyes in disdain, "What little lady, she is just a child born to a slave. Look at the third wife, the third master, and the old master. Who cares?"
"You don't want to die, even if the lady is not favored, she is our master!"
"Sister Yang, stop pretending with me, isn't it you who eat the little lady's meal every day? And the hairpin left by her mother, it is said that it was rewarded by the third lady, did you take it? "
Master Wei looked at the maidservant who was obviously wearing slave clothes but looked disdainful, and obviously didn't recognize her, but felt a sense of disgust spontaneously.
I don't know which girl it is, but according to what they mean, they dare to belittle even the little master in the mansion.
The girl who asked why there was no one in the room last night also lost her expression, and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, it's just that the lady is young, I will help her watch."
"Look at it? Sister Yang, your brother just married a wife, right? Your family is impoverished, and we are prostituted girls. There is only so much moon money. Where did your brother get his wife's money? I don't need to say more. ?”
"Okay, I also know that you are coaxing the little lady and coaxing her moon silver from her hand. You don't have to look at me with this kind of eyes. I don't intend to report you. She is so unfavored, even if it is a complaint. , I am afraid that the masters above will not pay attention to it, and it is unlucky for us to follow a master who is not favored. In the future, you will still coax her, and I will still be lazy. We will not delay anyone. "
The girl struggled for a while after being told, and finally gritted her teeth, "You better remember what you said, if you report on me, you won't be able to fall!"
After finishing speaking, the two maids left the yard. Master Wei looked at their beautiful backs, and substituting that if his daughter's slaves were like this, his teeth itched with anger.
Diao slave! !
What a slave! !
He was immersed in anger and couldn't extricate himself, suddenly remembered something was wrong, he had never been to this yard before, where is this
Father just...
By the way, my father said just now that he wanted to see the life of Sister Jiaoniang.
Master Wei looked around, only to find that there was indeed a little girl hiding behind the water tank in the yard. She looked cute, squatting, her eyes were red, but her little hand was tightly covering her mouth to prevent the sound of sobbing from coming out. Come.
A poor child indeed.
Master Wei sighed, the conversation between the two maids just now was clearly overheard by this child, she should not be favored, the yard is dilapidated, and the maid is so frivolous, maybe the maid who scolded others just now was The only one who treats her well.
But when she found out that everything was just to coax the moon silver in her hand, she was naturally very sad.
I didn't expect Jiao Niang's younger sister to be so pitiful.
As soon as he thought of this, his eyes suddenly became hazy. Mr. Wei felt dizzy, and just as he staggered to his feet, it suddenly rained heavily in front of him.
Only then did he realize that he was standing on the rockery, and beside him, the child was sitting with her knees hugged and crying in the rain. Her hair was wet, her face was pale, and the red marks on her face were even more conspicuous.
What's going on here? Who hit her
Master Wei himself was also drenched in the rain, looking down at the girl.
Suddenly, the rain stopped.
A gentle voice sounded, "What's wrong with Yan Niang? Why is she hiding here alone and crying?"
Master Wei was shocked, and raised his eyes to look at the woman in the light pink dress. She lowered her head, her eyes were full of worry, and her face was young and beautiful.
Master Wei couldn't help but yelled, "Jiao Niang..."
The two have been husband and wife for more than ten years. At first he was busy studying, and later he entered the officialdom. After that, he always went out to do things with Shangguan. The husband and wife get together less often, and there are so many trivial matters, he almost forgot. Now, what did my wife look like back then.
Looking at it now, the wife of that year was really a sinking fish and a wild goose.
Master Wei looked at his wife. She was holding an umbrella in her white hand, covering her younger sister who was sitting on the ground with her knees hugged, so as not to get half of the rain.
He couldn't help admiring, sure enough, his Jiao Niang has always been so gentle and pleasant.
Mr. Wei watched his young wife bring back the little sister who was called Yanniang. She didn't dislike the dirty clothes on her sister, but led her into the house herself, and took medicine to gently cleanse the smoke. Mother's face medicine.
While applying the medicine, she asked in a warm voice, who hit Yanniang.
Next, the two sisters had a very happy time.
They do everything together, and if the elder sister eats a mouthful, she will also send it to the younger sister. Because the relationship between Yanniang and the eldest sister, Dafang, is getting better, those brothers and sisters who always bullied her dare not Going to play tricks on the little sister again, the smiles on Yanniang's face gradually increased.
In her heart, her sister is the most important thing.
She will be happy for a long time because of her sister's smile, and she will go back to the yard to practice writing until late at night because of her compliment.
Master Wei couldn't help looking envious. Although he was close to his younger siblings, they were not to this extent. The younger brother was fine. Although the age difference between the two was large, it was not much older. It was just that he was mischievous when he was young. He was still out of tune, and Master Wei couldn't help but reprimand him when he saw it.
The younger sister is well-behaved, but the age difference is too great. Master Wei and his wife almost raised this younger sister as a daughter, and the younger sister also seemed to regard him as a father. He's acting like a big brother.
On the other hand, Jiaoniang has always had a good relationship with her younger sister. It seems that she took care of her sisters at home just like she took care of Zining when she was not out of the cabinet.
Master Wei praised again, his wife is indeed of noble character.
The happy days of the two sisters did not last long. The older sister gave her younger sister a jade pendant, which was something she loved very much. She hoped that with this jade pendant, the younger sister would not be looked down upon so much among the three-bedroom sisters.
But it was also this jade pendant that made the other girls in the third room feel even more dissatisfied. Why is this maidservant able to get the most beloved eldest sister in the mansion to look at her differently.
Once the accident that several girls had prepared happened, the sister cherished it carefully, and the jade pendant given by her sister broke into two halves.
She didn't dare to see her sister again, because when her sister gave her this jade pendant, she said it was her beloved and hoped that her sister could keep it safe.
But now, the jade pendant is broken.
And at this time, the Fuchu began to separate.
The younger sister was in a hurry. She wanted to see her sister, but on the way she was stopped by a few concubine sisters from the third room. She usually didn't dare to resist, but she was too anxious that day. She was afraid that she would never see her sister again. Opportunity met.
I don't know who pushed it, and my sister fell into the lake.
She was picked up very quickly, because one of the few concubine girls had a favored mother, because of the speed of the fish, this matter was silently suppressed.
The younger sister was never able to get out of bed again, she asked the girl in the room to send a letter to her sister, but because the concubine sister was worried that her sister would take the opportunity to sue, she bribed the girl and did not send the message, she only lied to her that the house was busy, and she couldn't even enter the courtyard go.
In the end, the younger sister who was not fully recovered sat in the carriage and set out on the road with her father.
On the way, she was in a lot of pain, her illness never recovered, and she was almost muddled all the way until she met bandits in an inn. The ordinary people in the inn who had no money were all killed, and those who had money were taken into captivity. Let's go, because of her sick face, she looked like a dead person, and because she was a young child, the bandits didn't bother to kill her, and threw her directly into the pile of corpses.
She had a high fever and lay on the corpse for a day and a night.
Until a convoy passed by, the guards came to check and found the younger sister who was still alive, and took her back.
The convoy was the convoy that escorted Princess Liang. Princess Liang took her in, treated her, taught her to read, and raised her like a daughter.
She wanted to go home and find her older sister, but she was too young, and her only memories of home were yards, and her eldest sister who was called Jiao Niang.
Concubine Liang helped her find it, but she never got the news of the missing child from the people who were rescued by the government from the bandits that day.
In the end, it can only be considered that the younger sister's family members died in the inn.
She was raised by Princess Liang. In the eyes of her younger sister, Princess Liang is the second sister. She is gentle, kind, and always speaks softly to her.
Until she gradually grew up and her appearance improved, the prince suddenly fell in love with her.
She would rather die than obey, and the princess is not in the mansion. In the end, she was thrown into a dark place, where she was fed worms every day, and lived a life of life and death.
There are many women like her in this place. When they are afraid, they will hug each other tightly and curl up to keep warm.
It was very painful, but I was so weak that I couldn't even think about dying.
These days, she thought about her sister, Princess Liang, and wanted to see them.
Even if you can only take a look at it.
Until one day, when the sun shone on her body, she was in so much pain that she passed out from the pain.
She has never hated anyone, her father, her sisters, but at the moment when she knew she was going to die, she still hated.
She doesn't hate the prince for making her neither human nor ghost, but hates him for blocking her chance to see her sister and Concubine Liang.
When I woke up again, I was floating in the river.
Her face was pale, looking at Master Wei in front of her, she somehow felt that she should follow.
Why follow up
It must be because he is the enemy.
So she grabbed his neck and followed him all the way to the house.
This is the life of Yan Niang.
old man's yard
Master Wei's hands were still on the side of the tree, but he suddenly opened his eyes.
Under the watchful eyes of his father and Mrs. Wei, he touched his neck.
No wonder, he said how his neck was always sore during that time.
Feelings are tied to the individual.
