Chapter 218 Want to Marry Pearl
Chen Qingyun asked in surprise: "How could it be so fast? The place where the exile is still a little far away. It's only one day."
The secret guard replied: "There were two groups of verdicts, one was exiled and the other was an official slave. According to the investigation of the humble official, Hongyu voluntarily followed Jiang Lin to exile. Mrs. Jiang was too old and was exiled, and Chen Sisi and Liu Mei were included in the Music City to become official slaves."
To be nice, it is an official slave, but it is actually an official prostitute.
Most of these singers and dancers in the music shop are the daughters of sinners. Because they have some knowledge and good looks, they are managed to benefit the nobles.
In this way, Chen Sisi and Liumeiren are still in the music shop in Kyoto.
"If this is the case, don't pay attention to Mrs. Jiang's situation. Pay attention to meditation to prevent her from climbing up to someone and making trouble. Of course, there is no need to worry too much, just leave it to the people from Tingfeng Pavilion to do it." Chen Qingyun thought for a while, and felt that although it was not too much threat, it was always better to be careful.
The secret guard nodded: "Where is the willow eyebrows?"
"Let her die by herself." Chen Qingyun didn't feel anything about her. Although Jiang Lin had disgusted her with Liu Mei, she had no special holiday with this woman after all. She chose her own way and didn't have to kill her.
"Yes, Miss Chen, Bei Zhi will continue to send people to explore Jiang Lin's traces."
Chen Qingyun nodded and said nothing, so Si Moli signaled the secret guard to retreat.
"Qingyun, if you are worried about the matter of meditation, do you need me to send someone to solve her?" Si Moli asked still, looking at Chen Qingyun's thoughtful look.
She thought about it and shook her head: "Now that she has fallen to this point, she can no longer cause any major storm. If she really holds a grudge, it will be easy to deal with it."
Moreover, sometimes it would be more painful for her to live in the world than to die directly.
Seeing her say this, Si Moli didn't say much. She was in control anyway, and she wanted to do whatever she wanted, so she sent her to the carriage.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Chen Qingyun subconsciously wanted to call Yicui over, but she realized that she was not in the mansion.
Pearl smiled and said, "Miss, you forgot, Yicui has gone home after resting."
"I really forgot this. She will not come back in two days?" Chen Qingyun asked casually while thinking about the matter.
Pearl nodded, and a feeling of loss inevitably emerged in her heart. If her parents were still alive, she would probably have rushed back to take a look during the rest time.
Then she looked up at the lady in front of her, her eyes filled with halo again, and she couldn't help but silently recite in her heart: Fortunately, there is a lady. In this world, the lady is her only relative, and she will stay by her side forever.
Yicui had just returned home and smelled a scent as soon as she entered the door.
"Mom, are you frying meatloaf?" She put down her bag and walked towards the kitchen.
"Oh, Ni'er, you're back. This is not the meat pie you like most about your favorite mother-fried meat pie. I've been busy early in the morning. Your brother Zhuzi ran to pick some wild vegetables to trip up. It's so fragrant!" A woman sat by the window and suddenly spoke, with a big belly, looking at Yi Cui with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, you are here too." Yicui then saw her and greeted her symbolically.
The woman was sewing a child's clothes, raising her hand to stroke the broken hair in her ear, revealing the silver bracelet on her wrist, which was the one she took when Yi Cui's mother came to the Duke's Mansion last time.
Yicui didn't say anything, and walked to the kitchen to help her mother.
"Hey, Ni'er, you go out and wait, don't help. It's not good to get dirty when you wear it." Yi Cui's mother's subordinates quickly washed and cut vegetables, and then threw them into the pot. The steaming heat made her face red, and she looked very energetic.
The shout of his younger brother Zhuzi sounded outside: "Mom, you're starving to death, are the food ready? Dad and brother are back too!"
"Now, right now!" As soon as he heard his son's voice, Yi Cuiniang smiled and bent her eyes. Her subordinates moved faster and added some firewood to the stove. Seeing Yi Cui standing aside, she hurriedly said, "Ni'er, please help me bring the food out."
Yi Cui sighed, went upstairs and went out to serve the dishes. When she saw that the three of them had already sat around the table, her sister-in-law was still embroidering her clothes by the window.
"Dad, brother, brother, you are back."
"Well, how long will it take to have a meal? Sister, I'm hungry." Zhuzi urged impatiently.
"It'll be fine soon." Yi Cui said, turning back to the kitchen.
Her mother had to take care of stewing soup and fried cakes, so she naturally couldn't take care of it. She hurriedly asked Yicui to help burn the firewood. The firewood was a little wet, and it smoked when it was put in, and the clothes were still dirty.
When the meat pie was brought out, the three of them started to eat and quickly divided the cake.
Yi Cuiniang served the small plate again, sat on the small table next to Yi Cui and her sister-in-law. Looking at the cake that was not much, Yi Cui sighed again and took only a small bite: "Sister-in-law, give you the rest, you still have to eat more."
"The little girl is different after she goes to a wealthy family. It depends on how good the lady trains her." The sister-in-law smiled and joked, while eating the remaining cakes without hesitation.
Seeing that Yi Cui didn't even eat much, Yi Cui glanced at her sister-in-law unhappily, but in the end she didn't say anything, but asked about Yi Cui's affairs in the mansion.
The sister-in-law followed and said, "I heard that your lady has two big maids around her, and one named Zhenzhu. Has she gone home too?"
"No, Pearl's parents have been away early, so she has been staying in the mansion." Yicui buried her head and drank porridge while chatting.
When the two women on the side looked at each other after hearing this, her sister-in-law said again: "It sounds so pitiful. Since that's the case, next time you come back, take the pearl with you, and at least invite someone to come to your house for a meal."
Yi Cui nodded perfunctorily, but the younger brother complained: "When will you come back next time? You won't have to wait for another two or three months. If you don't have to rest next month, just bring that pearl as a guest."
When Yicui heard her brother say this suddenly, Yicui's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She looked up at the mother and sister-in-law opposite her, but saw Yi Cuiniang's eyes dodging, and her sister-in-law was smiling with a look of watching the show.
In an instant, she fell down her chopsticks and stood up, sternly: "Mom, didn't I say that, don't you think about pearls!"
Seeing her reaction so much, the younger brother on the side was not happy: "She is an orphan and just a maid. Do you think I am not worthy of her?"
"Of course I'm not worthy!" Yi Cui sneered: "She is a capable maid by the lady. It's okay to be in charge of the business. How could she marry into a farmer like us?"
Her sister-in-law was thinking about the golden hairpin she had not obtained and said angrily: "Oh, Ni'er is a maid and looks down on our good people. At least your brother is learning from the carpenter. He has a skill and has no worries about food and drink, but he is not as good as a slave~"
Yi Cui's father, who was silent on the side, kicked her in the knee: "Hmph! You're so tough, don't you even look down on your own brother?"
Yi Cui didn't stand firmly and knelt on the ground all of a sudden, her knees hurt so much that it hurts, and tears fell down.
