Yuzhu was startled and couldn't speak with his mouth open.
"Although the slave doesn't dare to assert that one glance is not far from ten."
Ruan's mother bowed and said.
They have their own set of identification methods for mothers, and Yuzhu didn't doubt what Ruan's mother said, but she didn't react for a while.
Thinking about it now, Ning Qiu's comb doesn't seem to be a woman's head, what she has encountered over the years Yuzhu slowly walked to the side of the kang and sat down.
She didn't regret not asking Lin Yuanzhi or Cheng Xunxun to help her, after all, she didn't understand the treacherous and political situation of the court, and she didn't want to involve the family in unnecessary risks because of her own requirements Lin Yuanzhi loves herself, and Cheng Xunxun values herself, but she doesn't want to make them embarrassed by this favor Sighing softly, she wilted her hand to support her chin, forget it, what do you want to do.
Qin Si led the little maids to set the plates on the carved black lacquered table of the Eight Immortals outside, and the silver chain came in from outside, patted her on the back from behind, and said with a smile: "You are diligent, and you also set up the table yourself." ” Qin Si was bluffed, almost missed a rolling green pastel flower nine cup in her hand, seeing that it was a silver chain, she couldn't help but say: "What do you scare me about" Give the rest of the work to the little maids, she then flattened her sleeves, wiped her hands and said: "Mrs. seems to like this Ning girl, it's better not to be lazy." ” Yinlian had long been accustomed to Qinsi's gentle and gentle appearance, and he didn't say much, he glanced at her and lowered his voice: "Do you know where this Ning girl came from?"
Qin Si understood, and immediately shook her head, "I knew it was from Qingzhou." ” Yinlian smiled and told her what she had heard, "I heard Sister Hua Zhen say that after the epidemic in Qingzhou, Miss Ning had no relatives, and was later taken care of by a distant relative, and the relative was good to her, but unfortunately there was no one in the New Year, when our wife was in Qingzhou, she had Miss Ning's mother to guide her in embroidery, and she took care of her, which is also regarded as a repayment." ” "So that's the case, and only one sister Hua Ji who follows his wife is clear" The two laughed and went out.
Instead of making people guess, it is better to come up with a proper reason first, save all kinds of rumors and give Ning Qiu a clean life experience, after all, exile is not a good crime.
I believe that this word will get out soon Shuanghong awkwardly pulled the new clothes on her body, carefully touching the delicate embroidery and bright trim on it, only feeling that she was dreaming that the lady of the Wang family had never worn such good clothes.
The little maid led her to sit down in front of the dresser, helped her dry her slightly yellowish hair, carefully smeared the hair oil, and said softly: "The girl has a delicate body, and there are no ready-made clothes, so let's wear what the slave maid made before, and then make a new one when the size is reported to the needlework room." ” Shuanghong can clearly be seen from the polished and smooth mirror, the little girl's white and delicate hands shuttle between her yellow hair, and she immediately blushes and does not dare to look at it again. cramped her eyes on the table, where there is a double-sided embroidered red plum Aoxue's table screen, she has never seen such a fine thing, I can't say what it feels like, the red and gorgeous plum blossoms are like the real thing, just look at it and feel cold.
In the sluggishness, the little maid had already combed her hair neatly, and picked out a newly made peony silk flower from the box to put in her hair.
Shuanghong timidly pulled the little girl's sleeve and said softly, "Thank you, sister, I don't know what my sister is called."
"The girl is polite, this is what a slave should do."
The little maid looked her red outfit up and down, and saw that everything was in order, so she led her out.
In the main house, Ning Qiuzheng and Yuzhu talked about Shuanghong, "It is the youngest daughter of my original owner's family, fourteen this year." ” After that, she slowly talked about her experience in the past few years.
The imperial court had three punishments for exiles in prison: being a slave, being an errand, and farming, and she was lucky at the beginning and was assigned to a farming place.
The law stipulates that a husband shall allocate twelve acres of land, and shall receive six stones per year, and shall not be equal, and shall be given seeds and cattle tools, and only half of the soldiers.
Because there has never been a precedent for a woman to be exiled when she is single, most of them are women who follow their husbands under the system of wives, and they depend on their men to live.
The clerk who made the register waited for a while, but he didn't see anything to say about her, and when he rolled his eyes, he let people add her to the book of servitudes Yuzhu shook her hand worriedly, compared to the ground prisoner, although the slave prisoner does not need to do a lot of heavy work, but the life must be much sader, the border land is not as good as the capital, the high-ranking slaves not only can't live the life of fine clothes and food, even their lives are difficult to guarantee, even if they are killed, the master's family will not cause the slightest trouble.
And Ning Qiu's original temperament was so crisp and open.
She remembered that there was a statute that said, "If there is still a violent person thereafter, whether he is guilty of death or not death, his lord shall put him to death, and his master shall not be punished."
This shows the severity of the exiled slaves.
Jingzhong still cares about reputation and doesn't dare to go too far; But in a place where the emperor is far away, human life is not like a mustard Ning Qiu smiled cheerfully, his eyebrows and eyes were full of peace, "It's nothing, my life is fine, the master's family is kind, and I do light work."
She pursed her lips and said softly, "I've done those jobs before, but it's not hard for me." ” As he was talking, Shuanghong was led in by the little maid, and saluted Yuzhu stiffly.
Noticing that she tried her best to imitate the walking posture of the maid who led her in, Yuzhu smiled and ordered Hua Zhen to bring her an embroidered pier to sit on.
Ning Qiu just said that she was fourteen years old, how could she look like she was only twelve or thirteen years old Besides, as the daughter of the main family, how could she be black and thin like this.
"Shuanghong's father Wu is a defense of the Xiao Cavalry School, and a group of criminals in charge of the rebellion escaped six people" Ning Qiu explained in a low voice, seeing the bitter resentment in Shuanghong's eyes, he hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his lips, and glanced at Yuzhu slightly at a loss.
"After sitting in the carriage for so long, I must not have had a good meal."
Yuzhu smiled and called Hua Zhen, "You take the Shuanghong girl to dinner first." ” After the two of them went down, Ning Qiu sighed, "She has always resented the six people who escaped, and she doesn't blame her, she has lived a good life since she was sensible, once her family was ruined and she fell to this, where is there anyone who doesn't hate." ” "I don't think it's those six people she should hate."
Yuzhu nodded, but it was like this, if he escaped from the prisoner, he didn't need a defensive horse school to die.
She remembered in a trance that it was a punishment or a demotion, and it was probably because he failed as an official and was pushed out to pay for the whole crime.
"When is it?"
"In the winter of the year before last, I heard that soldiers molested people's wives and daughters, and nearly 100 people died in the suppression of the riot."
Ning Qiu replied, "I stood at the back door, opened the door a crack and looked out, and the car that pulled the corpse was connected in a line before it passed."
"It didn't take long for the soldiers who arrested people and raided their homes to come to the door."
Ning Qiu's eyes were complicated, and she couldn't tell what she felt about such a place.
"After that, the house was in a mess, and I didn't know what to do, Shuanghong followed me, her eyes were stunned, and she was holding on to my sleeve, so I ran away with her."
Ning Qiu's voice became lower and lower, "Finally, I went to another family and became a maid with Shuanghong."
Yuzhu didn't want to reveal her scars again, so she gently covered her mouth and said softly: "Don't think about it anymore, it's all over, since Grandma Wang entrusted you to me, rest assured that you can stay, and the days will be long in the future." ” She took Ning Qiu's hand and said with a smile: "Having said so much, Shuanghong is almost finished, let's go too." ” After settling the two of them, Yuzhu called Hua Zhen in, and said coldly: "Is there any movement in the Zhenbei General's Mansion recently?"
She felt Ning Qiu's desire to stop talking just now, but she really didn't want to tell her at this time, so she pretended not to see it and fooled her.
"A few days ago, I vaguely heard that I adopted a little beggar, and I still keep it in the house."
Hua Zhen saw that Yuzhu was in a bad mood, and hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, don't be angry, Mother Ruan said that the little master in her stomach is hurt when she is in a bad mood." ” Here again, Yuzhu drank a sip of red jujube tea very depressed, got up and went to Xie's house Suddenly two people came to the house, whether Xie knew it or not, he had to take the initiative to report it.
Xie Shi had already gotten the news, and there were still some whispers, but seeing Yuzhu come over in person with a smile and listening to the story after being processed and polished, he finally felt a little more comfortable.
"That's the case."

Xie Shi was wearing a brown Luofu Yingmen Flower Dark Pattern Jacket, sitting on the kang, with a garcinia yellow mirror flower silk blanket on his knees, and said lightly: "But after all, there is no household registration, so it doesn't hurt to settle down first, but you still have to find a house as soon as possible." ” Yuzhu hurriedly responded, it is really not good to live in the Guogong Mansion all the time, even if Xie doesn't say it, she will find a house or Zhuangzi to settle them, but the situation is special, and it is really difficult to find a suitable place.
Here, Yuzhu was discussing with the Xie family about dealing with the few invitations he received, and Shuanghong and Ning Qiu were sitting in the arranged wing room in Qinghui Courtyard talking.
"Sister Ning Qiu, this place is so good."
Shuanghong grew up in northern Xinjiang since he was a child, and he is used to seeing the sand moraine of Muxi, and he has never seen such a rich enjoyment, "When eating, such good tea is used to rinse my mouth, if it weren't for the maid's sister to remind me, I would almost make a joke." ” Her face was flushed with a faint flush, and her eyes were shining.
Ning Qiu was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone talking outside, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.
A servant woman and two maids appeared at the door.
"The two girls are well, the slave maid is in the needlework room, and the wife has ordered the slave maid to measure the size so that she can cut new clothes for the girls."
The mother was carrying a small bamboo basket and smiling very kindly. gd1806102:
