"Miss Xu said that her mother is weak and unable to do what she wants. She has never learned how to dress properly since she was a child. She doesn't know how to behave appropriately. She feels that since the slave is with Madam and Miss, her vision and knowledge must be much better than hers."
Feiyue repeated the story with a look of unbearable expression: "There is also wood shavings water on the table. You are so young, you will need this everywhere. The slave has no choice but to say that Miss Xu came to accompany the young lady. The two girls are here Together, it would be more appropriate to change into another outfit."
"No wonder when she came over, she finally took off her hair. She still wore braids and it looked pleasing to the eye. It doesn't matter what clothes she wore." Shen Yuan just understood.
As soon as the worry arose, the reality was not very difficult. After all, Lengxiang Pavilion was an impregnable place, and the piano master was in it. Without anyone who could take her out properly, it was naturally hard to hear what was going on outside the window. How could the foreign envoys be there? When they are busy and when they will leave, it is far beyond a group of brothel girls to know.
It was supposed to be the Laba Festival, a good day for family reunions, but bad news came one after another. Leaving aside Xu Jinshu, Zhoulai Villa was also unsafe. Yin Huai'an's eldest attendant, Changping, came to report that the man named Jiang The young master still came to the door, trying to persuade Guanying to meet him.
"Oh... what happened next?" Shen Yuan mixed the rose braised pork, and was quite careless about the matter involving Guanying. He didn't care whether Yin Huai'an would spill the beans and betray him.
Chang Ping said that when the young master of the Jiang family came to the door, he saw that the owner of their village gave him a big gift first, saying that he was thanking him for saving Guanying's life, but Yin Huai'an was not expecting it. It was Guanying who was awkward, according to the maid. After understanding the reason, he actually hid in the house, tightly covered with the quilt, and refused to see anyone no matter what.
"Donglian tried to persuade her for a long time, but the Guanying girl just refused to listen. She even said something. If she was forced, she would bite her tongue. At worst, she would not take her life." Changping came one by one, and just listening to it made him happy. It's ridiculous enough. "It made the young master of the Jiang family extremely embarrassed. He couldn't leave or stay. Our boss stayed with him to drink a cup of tea. The two of them talked about something unimportant, and then called Dong Lian to ask questions. Listen. He said that Guanying had taken the medicine and had gone to bed, so Master Jiang had no choice but to leave. He left behind the thank you gift he brought and some things for Guanying, and asked the owner to hand it over on his behalf."
"And you brought a thank you gift? It seems like he is not a complete idiot, but he also understands human feelings." The oiran's lips smiled sarcastically, remembering how the Jiang family had made a mistake in front of him before, "Also, it doesn't matter. What's the word? Could you please learn it for me?"
Changping scratched the back of his head, with a confused look on his face - he really didn't like that female guest, it was a hindrance to the owner of the Huai'an village, but it was just a courtesy to the guests. When Young Master Jiang was talking to the owner, he should just be a decoration, serving tea. How can I dare to stretch my ears when the water and the land are taken care of?
"Young lady, you didn't listen carefully. This is pretty much what happened between Guanying and Young Master Jiang when she was in Jiang Mansion. It's trivial. If Miss doesn't blame you, I'll allow you to think about it carefully."
It was just some trivial things. Occasionally I heard one or two sentences, and I could roughly understand them and tell them to others. Chang Ping remembered it most clearly. At that time, Mr. Jiang was sitting upright, going back and forth with his owner, but his eyes were blank. He kept drifting toward the door, as if if he looked a few more times, he would see the oriole coming towards him.
Yin Huai'an would not take the initiative to inquire, but the visitor did not complain for some reason. He said that Guanying had a rough life and had no relatives, so he was sold to the Jiang family as a slave. Don't dare to speak loudly. After finishing the work at hand, you rush to do other people's work, never idle for a moment.
"I chose her to serve as pen and ink because she was the thinnest and I thought she would not hinder my playfulness. I didn't expect that she was so quiet that she was often bullied." Young Master Jiang started talking, not forgetting to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat. , "When she first came here, she was less than ten years old. I heard that she had been changed hands several times. They all thought she was young, clumsy, and didn't understand the rules. There was a wet nurse next to me who showed me around first. Ying went down, washed and changed clothes, and when he came back, he told me that he was a small child with various scars all over his body and was so thin that he could feel his bones."
Chang Ping said that he could tell that the owner of his farm was not interested in these pretentious things, and he couldn't interrupt directly. He could only nod to relieve the embarrassment. But thanks to Master Jiang's silence, Shen Yuan could not think about it. I finally have an answer to what I understand.
She found out that Guanying was kicked out of the Jiang family when she was thirteen years old, on the charge of seducing the young master. How could a yellow-haired girl be said to be seducing? Guarding Feiyue and Feiyun, the three masters and servants could only smile a few words. , it was assumed that the Jiang family was afraid of being embarrassed by the truth, so they made up a random excuse. Now after listening to Changping's reply, I found out that Guanying had indeed had thoughts that she shouldn't have had while in Jiang Mansion.
It's not that Young Master Jiang is pouring beans into bamboo tubes. He naturally avoids those old feelings. He only said that the two have been together for a long time and feel that Guanying is very considerate. They are very different from the women in the back house who blindly flatter and please. He has already decided , wait until the spring is passed, and then ask for grace from parents and give Guanying a status.
Her identity was not that of the main wife, but she could at least be a aunt in public, so she no longer had to work all day long. Her hands were finally tender and tender, but within a few days they were red and swollen from being soaked in the cold laundry water. The young master was very concerned about the people around him. A girl who is too good can easily get into trouble. The housekeeper in the yard makes things difficult for Guanying and often asks her to do menial work. Although Young Master Jiang is willing to protect him, he is always told, "I'm just a servant, how can I live my life?" More precious than a thousand pieces of gold."
The words of the people are scary, and the two young children are committed to each other. Young Master Jiang becomes more and more diligent in his studies, and it is difficult to notice that Guanying is acting more and more strangely, until the grandma breaks the door and comes in, and is faced with the angry mother. After tea and rice, the Orioles were grinding their pink face, peach cheeks, and smokey eyebrows, and they had no time to put away their two affectionate eyes.
These scenes were so vivid in his mind that Young Master Jiang could not tell them to Yin Huai'an. He still remembered that at that time, Guanying, who did not even dare to wear colorful skirts on weekdays, actually changed into a light gauze shirt with half-exposure of the lapels. The clothes are rouge red, and the hair is also loosely tied, with strands of hair falling down along the soft curve of the lower jaw. The whole body is covered with the charming charm of cardamom.
He had never seen Guanying like this before, and his heart was as shocked as a mountain spring falling into broken rocks. It was only once, one glance was the ending. His mother's eyes turned red, and regardless of her manners, she dragged Guanying over with her own hands and died. The servant girl took the rope, tied it tightly and threw it on the ground.
Mrs. Jiang was in charge of the whole family and commanded the inner house, and she always told the truth. Young Master Jiang went on a hunger strike for two days, and only got one sentence: Guanying had been sold to Yapa, and her whereabouts were unknown.
