280, Chapter 280
Mr. Wei only felt that he was in a trance for a moment, and then he came to a courtyard.
The courtyard was very small and narrow, and the surrounding area was dark and lacked light. He, who had lived in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, couldn't help but frown.
A woman's high-pitched voice suddenly rang out, "You're so good, why did you drag me here? You didn't see me eating!"
He was a little curious, so he walked over following the sound, and found two women standing in the corner of the yard, wearing linen clothes, and they looked like maids at first glance.
One of them looked not very good and asked in a low voice, "Didn't I ask you to take care of the little lady last night? Why was there no one in the house when I came here early this morning?"
The other one rolled his eyes disdainfully, "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 your life. Even if your wife is not favored, she is still our master!"
"Sister Yang, please stop pretending with me. Aren't you the one who eats the young 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 away? "
Master Wei looked at the maid who was clearly wearing slave clothes but had an expression full of disdain. He clearly didn't recognize her, but he felt a sense of disgust welling up in her.
I don’t know which girl they are from, but from what they say, they dare to belittle even the young master in the house.
The girl who originally asked why there was no one in the room last night also became pale and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, it's just that the little lady is young, I will help her keep an eye on it."
"Look at it? Sister Yang, your brother just got married, right? Your family is very poor, and we are girls who sold our bodies to get here. We only have so little money. Where did your brother get the money to get his wife? I don't need to say more. ?”
"Okay, I also know that you are coaxing the little lady to get her moon silver from her hands. You don't have to look at me like this. I have no intention of reporting you. She is so unfavored, even if she is complaining, , I am afraid that the masters above will not pay attention to it. It will be unlucky for us to have a master who is not favored. In the future, you will still coax her, and I will still be lazy. No one of us will delay the other. "
The girl struggled for a while when she was told that, and finally gritted her teeth, "You'd better remember what you said. If you report me, you won't be left behind!"
After saying that, the two girls left the yard. Mr. Wei looked at their beautiful backs and thought if his daughter's slaves were like this, he was so angry that his teeth itched.
Diao slave! !
What a slave! !
He was immersed in anger and couldn't extricate himself. Suddenly he remembered that something was wrong. He had never been to this yard. Where was this?
Father just now...
By the way, my father just said that he wanted to take a look at the life of his little sister.
Mr. Wei looked around and realized that there was indeed a little girl hiding behind the water tank in the yard. She looked cute, squatting down, her eyes were red, but her little hands were covering her mouth tightly to prevent her sobbing. Come.
A poor child indeed.
Master Wei sighed. The conversation between the two maids just now was clearly overheard by this child. She must be unpopular. The yard is dilapidated and the maid is so frivolous. Maybe the maid who scolded others at the beginning just now is The only person who treats her well.
But when she found out that everything was just to coax the Yueyin in her hand, she was naturally very sad.
I didn't expect Jiao Niang's sister to be so pitiful.
Just when he thought of this, his eyes suddenly became hazy. Master Wei looked dizzy. Just as he stumbled to stand still, it suddenly started to rain heavily in front of him.
Only then did he realize that he was standing on the rockery. Next to him, the child was sitting with her knees in her arms, 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?
Mr. Wei himself was soaked in the rain and looked down at the girl.
Suddenly, the rain stopped.
A gentle voice sounded, "What's wrong with Yan Niang? Why are you hiding here crying alone?"
Mr. Wei was shocked and raised his eyes to look at the woman in a light pink skirt. She lowered her head, her eyes were full of worry, her face was young and beautiful, and even though she was standing quietly like this, she still had a gentle beauty.
Mr. Wei couldn't help but shout, "My dear..."
The two have been married 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 couple spent less time together and separated more, and there were so many trivial things that he almost forgot. Now, what was the wife like back then?
Now it seems that the madam back then was really like a fish and a geese.
Mr. Wei looked at his wife. She was holding an umbrella in her fair hands, covering her little sister who was sitting on the ground hugging her knees so that the rain wouldn't get in the least.
He couldn't help but admire, as expected, his sweet lady had always been so gentle and lovely.
Mr. Wei watched his young wife bring back the little sister he called Yan Niang. She did not dislike the dirty clothes on her sister's body. Instead, she personally led her into the house and took some medicine to gently smoke the cigarette. Medicine on mother’s face.
While applying the medicine, she asked in a warm voice who had beaten Yan Niang.
Next, the two sisters had a very happy time.
They do everything together. If the older sister eats something, she will also give it to her younger sister. Because the relationship between Yan Niang and Dafang, the eldest sister, has become better, the brothers and sisters who always bullied her do not dare to Going to tease this little sister again, the smile on Yan Niang's face gradually grew.
In her heart, her sister is the most important.
She would be happy for a long time because of a smile from her sister, and would go back to the yard to practice writing until late at night because of a compliment from her.
Mr. Wei couldn't help but feel a little envious when he looked at it. Although he and his younger siblings were close, they were not that close. 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 naughty when he was young, and now It's still out of tune, and Master Wei can't help but scold him when he sees it.
The younger sister is well-behaved, but the age difference is too big. Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei almost raise this younger sister as a daughter, and the younger sister seems to regard him as a father. She has admiration and respect, but she never dares to interact with her. He is a spoiled brat as a big brother.
On the other hand, Jiao Niang has always had a good relationship with her sister. Now it seems that before she left the cabinet, she took care of her sisters in the family just like she took care of Zi Ning.
Mr. Wei praised again, his wife is indeed of noble character.
The good life of the two sisters did not last long. The elder sister gave the 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 this jade pendant that made the other girls in the third room feel more and more dissatisfied as to why this daughter born of a maid could win the favor of the most favored eldest sister in the house.
Once, an accident happened that the girls had prepared. The jade pendant that the younger sister cherished carefully broke into two halves.
She did not dare to see her sister again, because when her sister gave her this jade pendant, she said that it was her beloved thing and she hoped that her sister could keep it well.
But now, the jade pendant is broken.
At this time, families began to separate in the mansion.
The younger sister was anxious. She wanted to go see her elder sister, but she was stopped by several concubine sisters from the third room on the way there. She usually did not dare to resist, but she was too anxious that day. She was afraid that she would not see her elder sister again, and she would not be able to see her sister again in the future. Opportunity to meet.
I don’t know who pushed her, and my sister fell into the lake.
She was fished out quickly. Because she was fished out quickly, one of those concubine girls had a favored mother, so the matter was suppressed silently.
The younger sister never got out of bed. She asked the girl in the house to send a message to her sister. However, because her concubine was worried that her sister would take the opportunity to complain, she bribed the girl not to send the message. She only lied to her that the house was busy and she couldn't even enter the yard. go.
Finally, the sister, who was not completely recovered from the illness, sat in the carriage and followed her father on the road.
On the way, she had been feeling very uncomfortable, and her illness never recovered. She was almost in a state of confusion until she met bandits in an inn. All the ordinary people in the inn who had no money were killed, and the rich ones were kidnapped. Let's go. Because she was sick and looked like a dead person, and 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 motorcade passed by and the guards came to check and found the still alive sister and took her back.
The motorcade was the one escorting 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 sister, but she was too young and the only memories she had of her home were the courtyards and her eldest sister who was called "Jiao Niang".
Princess Liang helped her search, but she never got any news about the missing child from the people who were rescued by the government from the bandits that day.
In the end, it can only be assumed that my sister's family members died in the inn.
She was raised by Princess Liang. In the eyes of her younger sister, Princess Liang was her second sister. She was gentle, kind, and always talked to her in a soft voice.
It was not until she grew up and became more beautiful that the prince suddenly fell in love with her.
She would rather die than obey, and the princess was not in the palace. In the end, she was thrown into a dark place, where she was fed insects every day, living a life of life or death.
It was very painful, but I was so weak that I couldn't even think about dying.
These days, she was thinking about her sister and Princess Liang, and wanted to see them.
Even if you can only take a look.
Until one day, the sun shone on her body, and she was so painful that she fainted from the pain.
She had never hated anyone, her father or her sisters, but at the moment when she knew she was going to die, she still hated her.
She didn't hate the prince for making her neither a human nor a ghost, she just hated him for blocking her chance to see her sister and Princess Liang.
When I woke up again, I was floating in the river.
She looked pale and looked at Mr. Wei in front of her, feeling inexplicably that she should follow him.
Why follow?
It must be because he is an enemy.
So she grabbed his neck and followed him all the way to his home.
This is the life of Yan Niang.
Master Wei opened his eyes.
Under his father's gaze, he touched his neck.
No wonder, he said that his neck always felt sore during that time.
Emotions are hanging on a person.
