boudoir

Chapter 60
"Mr. 'What'?" Liuli asked casually. Many literati have the habit of changing their names, so she doesn't care what Mr. is.But he said that the "G" is too similar. Could it be that the font of Grandpa is famous?But as far as she knew, this was the original font created by Grandpa. Of course, he did have the qualifications to be famous, but in his impression he had always kept a low profile and was never the kind of person who was famous, so he really couldn't understand the shopkeeper's reaction.But I am still very happy, and expressed my appreciation for Rui'er's performance: "You have dealt with it very well, and if you ask me later, you will just say 'Master', don't let it slip."

Rui'er nodded, and said again: "The shopkeeper asked the servant about you, and the servant said, if you still want to do our business, don't inquire about anything, the shopkeeper shut up quickly, but he still couldn't put it down. It was framed for you personally."

Liuli nodded, "Let's take care of his business more in the future."

There was no one else in the room, and the master and servant spent a rare and quiet afternoon.

At sunset, Nanny Li came back smelling of alcohol, and seeing Liuli sitting on the porch playing ink balls and Ruier sewing, she stepped up the stone steps with one foot on her hips and said, "I have to go to Lixiangyuan at night. Er, Biyun and the others eat wine, so they won't come back for dinner."

Liuli squinted her eyes to see her go into the room to change clothes, then lowered her head and scratched Motuan'er's ears slowly.

Nanny Li changed her clothes and went out again. The small courtyard was very peaceful that night.

The next day is Mrs Yu's birthday, although the celebration has passed, but the children in this house should go to say hello.

Nanny Li didn't come back until midnight, and when Liuli finished washing, she was still sleeping like a pig, so she asked Rui'er to clean up and go to the front yard together.

The sunny day was still going on, the wind was blowing under Liuli's feet, and he arrived outside the long room in a short while.It is not as peaceful and quiet as imagined, the long room compound is filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness, the gate of the courtyard is open, the two maids standing in the corridor look panicked, there is no one in the main hall, but there is a buzzing sound coming from the side room With the sound of crying, Aunt Su and Aunt Chen's little maids all stood outside the door with tense faces, as if something serious had happened.

Liuli was about to go to Yu's room, when a person appeared from the wing, it was Caiqin, and Caiqin asked the servant girl anxiously: "Dr. Wu is here yet! It's going to kill people, if you don't go Urge!"

The panicked two servant girls immediately ran out.

Liuli recognized that it was the servant girl's room, and it was not good to meddle in other people's business, so when she went outside De Yu's gate, she heard her sigh inside: "Look at this girl, she is usually quite serious, why did she choose to go this way? It’s already a black smoke.”

Liuli stood under the window, no one informed her right now, and she couldn't get in, so she waited in the porch and gave Rui'er a wink.

Rui'er had been extremely suspicious for a long time, and immediately went outside the courtyard.

At this time, Aunt Su in the room also sighed: "Sister, don't be too sad, this is also her destiny, but this good day just adds bad luck for nothing, making people depressed."

There was silence in the room for a while, and then Mrs. Yu said: "This matter must be suppressed. There are so many girls in the mansion. If outsiders know that this kind of thing happened, it will definitely damage the reputation of the boudoir. - Go and have a look, Qian When Changsheng comes, just let him come over."

Liuli heard that Auntie Su was about to come out, she coughed quickly, the room fell silent, Auntie Su said: "Who is outside?" Liuli said respectfully, "Today is Madam's birthday, Liuli is here to greet Madam."

After talking and waiting for a while, Aunt Su lifted the curtain and came out, and said calmly: "It's Miss Nine. There is something in the yard today, Madam has no time to accept the ceremony, Miss, go back, and call Miss to talk another day."

Liuli answered yes, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Just when Rui'er was about to come in, Liuli dragged her up the long corridor leading to the garden, and said, "How is it?"

Rui'er's face was as white as snow, her eyes widened, and it took a long time to utter a word: "It's terrible! It was a banquet in the Lihuayuan, but somehow she went to the small gourd courtyard in the west, and hung out with people until dawn, but was caught People caught..."

Liuli said: "Who ran to the west?"

"Red Sleeve!" Rui'er swallowed her saliva, calmed down and said, "The servants of Dao Yexiang found her in the morning. They said that she was sleeping in a daze, and she was naked in a broken mattress. Underneath, wetly... she, they said, she is no longer a girl..."

Rui'er's face turned red.

Liuli also stayed for a while like a wooden man.

The rumors of Hongxiu and others' private messes spread in every corner of the mansion. No matter how Qian Changsheng ordered people to shut up, it would not change the fact that promiscuity between men and women was common in the mansion.When the news leaked to the streets and alleys, someone included the matter in Mrs. He's book. Mrs. He was so angry that he fell ill in bed and took a rest.

The old lady naturally held Mrs. Yu accountable. Mrs. Yu hated Hongxiu for not being up to date, no matter how much she complained, she sent her back on the same day. I have to go to the south to find a family to sell, and I am not allowed to come to Beijing since then.

At noon on the day when the news that Mrs. Yu was going to sell Hongxiu came, Liuli scratched the neck of the cat in her arms and snorted coldly in the Xiaokua courtyard: "I don't know which bad old man I want to take advantage of!"

Rui'er was puzzled: "What do you say, Miss?"

Liuli twitched the corners of her mouth, remained silent, and cooperated with Nanny Li to set the rules.

On the night of drinking at the Ewha Court party, when the party was over, Hu Jin hid behind the hallway door, while Liu Li hid at the heel of the wall behind Hu Jin.Hongxiu came out reeking of alcohol, and parted ways with Biyun and the others outside the third room. Hu Jin followed her to the outside of the gourd courtyard, covered her mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in spirits, and dragged her into the courtyard.Hongxiu was so drunk that Liuli heard Hu Jin slap her twice before throwing a stone in.

Hu Jin felt guilty, and immediately ran away with his clothes disheveled. When Liuli entered the room, he saw that the red-sleeved top had been stripped off, his cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and he was covering his chest with his hands. His movements were unsightly, fearing that she might cause accidents due to frostbite. Then, he went to the nearest courtyard and dragged a torn quilt from the night maid to wrap her up.

Originally, I planned to just teach her a lesson like this, but Hu Jin didn't succeed anyway, but he deserved all these incidents, when Liuli walked to the door, she heard her calling for a pee, and before Liuli got to the bed, she saw A stream of liquid flowed down the corner of the quilt, Liuli was dumbfounded, she stepped forward to lift her quilt, only to see that her whole lower garment was wet, what if it was soaked overnight?So she simply stripped off all her clothes and covered her with a quilt, so the things that happened the next day happened.

She didn't know if Hongxiu was a virgin before, but it was certain that Hu Jin didn't succeed that night, and he couldn't possibly have the guts to commit crimes again, so Hongxiu was indeed wronged.Mrs Yu was still planning to send Yuhua to the palace, after such a scandal, how could she be kept by her side again?Even if she is not allowed to die, she will definitely be sent far away. A big girl with yellow flowers is sold as a broken shoe. Doesn't it mean that the person who picks it up in the future will get it for nothing?

After dinner, Rui'er pretended to go to the big kitchen to borrow sugar, and walked out of the courtyard under the nose of Li Nanny.

At this time, Hongxiu's house in the back alley was full of gloomy clouds and mist.Hongxiu's parents and brothers are all on duty in the mansion. Recently, Dong Zhe has been pointed at his back, and he has already suppressed his complaints. Now he doesn't even want to go home except to sleep.Although Hongxiu Niang also hated it, but in the end it was the flesh and blood that fell from her body. Seeing her crying without eating or drinking, she asked her little daughter Hongmei to serve her a bowl of noodles before going out after dinner.

"You asked for it yourself, and you can't blame others! If you have time to cry now, what did you do earlier? It's better to go to the south earlier, so as not to burden us!"

Hongmei slapped the noodle bowl on the bedside of her bed, reached out and picked up a water-green embroidered jacket from the cupboard, and compared it to her body.

"It's just in time for you to leave. These clothes belong to me! Anyway, you don't know which old man you are going to marry, so it will be a waste if you keep it!"

Hong Xiu's cheeks puffed up with anger, she sat up propped up, picked up the bowl and threw it at her: "Get lost!"

Hongmei was splashed with oil and water, she jumped up and retreated to the window, cursing: "Why are you crazy!" Turning around, she quickly grabbed the brand new jacket, and ran out.

Hong Xiu grabbed the chopsticks and threw them over: "Get lost!"

After Hongmei left, the room became quiet. Hongxiu lay weakly on the pillow, crying loudly, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances in her heart.

She used to be the most capable maidservant next to Mrs. Du Yushi, the eldest wife of the He Mansion and the new deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Her beauty was once the pride of the whole family, but overnight, she became a broken shoe in the eyes of everyone and the whole family. Human burden!The mistress who once trusted her the most wanted to sell her to the remote south, but her parents, siblings did not want to take a second look at her, the maids and mother-in-law who used to fawn on her so much now avoid her like the plague, all of them are in Telling her behind her back that she is a flirtatious slut... What hope does she have in this life?What else is there to miss? ... She might as well die!
She looked up and looked at a hemp rope in the open cupboard, which was ready after she received the news, as long as she put her neck in it, everything would be over.

She climbed out of bed, took the rope in her hands, and tears rolled down like rain again.Hongmei is her own sister!Since she was a child, she gave her everything. She liked her jewelry, and she gave it to her. She wanted to be the third young master's maid, and she tried to send her in. Now she is driven to a dead end, and she Her own sister actually wished she would be sold earlier just because of a few clothes... Family love in the world is really thinner than paper!
She cried so hard that she almost fainted.

She doesn't want to be blinded by them anymore, she doesn't want to listen to their ridicule and sarcasm anymore!
She raised her head, hung the rope on the roof beam, moved a stool and put her neck in it...

"Red sleeves? Red sleeves?"

In the confusion, she opened her eyes, and a figure in front of her gradually became clear.
