Wushi Zhongzheng Mansion.The Qionglou Mansion is quiet, and the afterglow of the sunset slanted on the tall roof and the spacious courtyard, ginkgo trees, and autumn chrysanthemum gardens, as if a layer of noble gold.In the northeast corner of the quadruple courtyard, there is an adobe house that has been abandoned for many years, which is incompatible with the entire magnificent mansion.In the courtyard stood seven stupid old women, each carrying a bucket of cold water in their hands, not daring to spill it in the slightest.They stood in a row, waited for a heavy sound of "water" from the adobe house, and carried water into the house in a natural and orderly manner."
Water!"
A deep roar came from the adobe house, and this was the sixth summons of the day to deliver water.The old woman at the head silently carried a bucket and walked into the house.Through the broken doors and windows, you can hear the sound of water pouring on the ground, and the pleasant "whoosh" is the collision between the water and the ground, and if you ignore the sound mixed with the secret whimper, there is still the word "pleasant" to describe.The broken wooden door of the adobe house was pushed open, and the old woman came out with an empty bucket and walked straight to the nearby well.She had to carry a new bucket of water to prepare.No one outside could see what was going on inside the house, except for a steady stream of whimpering and faint sounds of horror wafting out of the broken windows.Outside the open courtyard gate, there was a crisp and pleasant sound of ringing, and a little girl with a goose egg face, triangular eyes, a collapsed nose, and thick lips walked into the courtyard surrounded by a group of maids and old sisters-in-law.Seeing the old women standing in a row in front of the adobe house, she pursed her lips in disgust, turned to her grandmother, and said, "Let them go outside and stand, they smell strange and disgusting." ”"Yes.Our girls have golden branches and jade leaves, how can they let them stink. ”The nurse Qiao Yanyan coaxed in a good temper, and scolded the old women standing in a row: "A group of fools, didn't you hear the girl's words?
Are you all dead, why don't you go out and stand quickly?
In case the girl is scented, you will be stripped of your old skin!
”"Yes, yes, the old slaves are leaving."
The old woman at the head carried half a bucket of water and led her companions to stand outside the courtyard.The servants of the Wu clan all know this noble Wu Da girl.The second daughter of Nanfu is also the pearl of the second master of Wu.Wu Qianqian relied on herself to be the eldest daughter of the Wu clan, although her father was the second master of the Wu clan, but because the Wu patriarch had no children and no daughters, her status was different, and she enjoyed the favor and power of the eldest daughter of the Zhongzheng Mansion in Nanfu.Because men are powerful and men are respected in the world, women's power is ignored by the world.In fact, there is also a distinction between power and power in the boudoir, the right and the concubine are the powerful, and the concubine and the concubine are the slaves.Wu Qianqian accompanied her mother Mrs.
Wu to visit Mrs.
Wu in Zhongzheng Mansion today, and she was really bored to sit with her, so she found an excuse to go out and hang out, and overheard the old woman say that the deserted house was closed to the eldest girl of the Yuan family.Thinking that Yuan Qiao and Li Haitang had a great relationship, she tried to attract Li Haitang's attention several times but failed, and was finally won over by Mo Yanxiu.Who knew that Mo Yanxiu's luck was not good, and she was harmed by Li Haitang and her whereabouts are now unknown.Although she doesn't like Mo Yanxiu, she doesn't like Li Haitang either.But for the sake of her status in the Wu clan and her plans to marry in the future, even if she doesn't like it, she has to bend to cater to her.Wu Qianqian asked the maids and sisters-in-law who came with her to wait outside, and she was accompanied by her grandmother to go in.A thin layer of ice had formed on the floor of the adobe house, and the clammy and cold ice mixed with the soil made the mud and the mud was pitted.The adobe house, which had been used to store agricultural tools and later to detain erring slaves, was never paved with masonry.The nurse pushed open the broken door and said loudly to the strong man inside: "Don't hurry up, my girl is here." ”The strong man poured the cold water that he had scooped half of the gourd on the top of Yuan Qiao's head, turned to look at the master and servant at the door, and said, "This dirty place is not for Miss Wu to come, please go back." ”"Joke, Uncle allowed me to walk anywhere in Zhongzheng Mansion, you dare to turn me away, aren't you afraid that I will go and complain to Uncle?
Please Uncle punish you severely. ”There was not the slightest fear or hesitation on the strong man's face, and his rough voice was even more angry than when he asked for water just now, "Come on, please go back."
And this ......"
The rough finger pointed at Qiao Yanyan, and said sharply: "This old guy will also be taken out."
If she dares to resist, she will be tied up with ten lashes. ”"Yes."
I don't know when the two stupid old women who appeared directly carried Qiao Changyan to the outside of the courtyard, Qiao Changchang saw that the strong man was not even afraid of the Wu patriarch, and hurriedly said to forgive."
Don't be angry, this little brother, I'll persuade my girl to go back.Don't do anything to my girl, in case you get into trouble with the patriarch, it's not good to make his old man angry.Ouch, don't ......
"Smack!
”Wu Qianqian slapped the strong man's face, pointed at the tip of the strong man's nose and scolded: "Li Tieniu, do you think you are a flower in the garden?"
Look at your ugly face and dare to come out to meet people, if I had wiped your neck and died.Get out of my way, don't stand in my way with your disgusting ugly face. ”The strong man's face was dark but not ugly, Wu Qianqian just used this as a pretext to get angry with him, who knew that he was blocking her like a wall, and warned very seriously: "Please go back, Miss Wu, this is not the place where you should come." ”Wu Qianqian was extremely angry, pointed to the bridge of her nose and asked: "I am the eldest girl of the Wu family, and I can go wherever I want in the territory of the Wu clan."
There are only places I don't want to go, and there are no places I shouldn't go.Get out of the way, you brute bull!
”"Please go back."
The strong man was motionless and blocked in front of Wu Qianqian, and he was really a brute bull who did not give in.Wu Qianqian was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, poked her fingers into the strong man's chest, stared at him with triangular eyes, and ordered him: "You!
To give!
I!
Let!
Open!
”"Please go back."
The strong man was unmoved, and continued to repeat the sentence coldly and mercilessly.Wu Qianqian was very angry, she wanted to stand on tiptoe and slap her hard again, but she felt that her hand hurt, this man's skin was as thick as iron, and it would only hurt her in the end.He wouldn't give an inch, and she found another way.The two confronted each other for half a pillar of incense, and Wu Qianqian was really impatient, so she had to retreat and order him: "You stand here, I'll go and talk to her and leave." ”The strong man glanced back at the little girl who was drenched in the river water, she was not seriously injured but had contracted a severe cold disease because she had poured seven buckets of cold water, and if she delayed for another day without treatment, she would fall into a lifelong incurable disease, which was also the reason why the Wu patriarch ordered him to keep watering.After all, a strong man is not a hard-hearted person, and he nodded when he saw the little girl who was shivering with cold weakness leaning against the wall and barely breathing."
Okay, please keep your promise and leave with just a few words.""
No problem."
Wu Qianqian poked the strong man's chest, paced to the little girl curled up against the wall with her little hands behind her back, and teased: "Yuan Qiao, I didn't expect you to end up like this, it's really eye-opening." ”Yuan Qiao tried hard to open her eyes and stared at the big girl Wu who was standing in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Wu Qianqian, do you want to become the second Mo Yanxiu?"
”"What do you mean?"
