boudoir

Chapter 61

"you……"

She couldn't help a burst of excitement and coughed violently.Rui'er hurriedly stroked her back, and poured a glass of warm water for her to drink.When she calmed down a little bit, Rui'er said: "How do you do such a stupid thing? Just now I saw that the courtyard door was unlocked, so I came in. I didn't expect to see you—fortunately, I came in time."

Hongxiu thought about it for a while, chest heaved, and looked at the top of the tent: "Why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Rui'er sat down next to the bed, said with a smile, "I'll come to see you!"

Hongxiu snorted with a cold face: "I don't want you to cry like a cat and pretend to be kind! If you came to see my joke, now that you see it, go away immediately!"

Rui'er stood up, and her face became serious: "I can go, but don't regret it! You bully others and follow the Yu family to help others. You have already lost even the minimum conscience. If you want to rely on me, you can't wait for you to die immediately. But my girl wants me to help you, so I have no choice but to come! Now that you want me to go, I can do my job well!"

After finishing speaking, Rui'er looked closely at Hongxiu's face, and saw that she was startled when she heard that Liuli had asked her to come, and then hummed suddenly: "Your girl? Your girl is still a child, and besides, she can't protect herself. Can you help me?"

Rui'er straightened her chest and said: "You are right. But, have you ever seen a child under ten who can challenge the old man? Survival in this kind of deep house full of traps depends on brains, It's not age. Don't you think it's accidental that you have fallen to this point today?"

Hong Xiu was startled, and sat up suddenly. Indeed, she also suspected that someone was plotting against her, but who would believe it?What's more, she has offended too many people on a daily basis, and there is no way to find out... She subconsciously looked at Rui'er, this girl is right, living in such a place of intrigue depends on her brain, that little Nine Girls At such a young age, she has to be able to see that she is being plotted against by someone. This alone is much better than other children of the same age, and she always looks calm and calm... Maybe she really has a way to help her... …It never hurts to listen first.

She stared at the quilt and said quietly: "What can you help me?"

Rui'er said: "At the moment, there is nothing else to do. It is still possible to pick a man with comparable conditions for you to marry."

Hong Xiu's eyes lit up, she couldn't help but blush and lowered her head, she said for a long time: "She is a little girl, how can she pick a husband for me? I know you are nonsense!"

Rui'er said: "I'm talking nonsense when I'm serious. I'd rather be sold!"

Hongxiu blushed even more, and hurriedly said: "Just keep talking."

"It's over!" Rui'er sat down again, "Our girl said, don't worry about what we do, anyway, we can take you to a place where no one knows you, and let you start a new life. I will discuss the specifics. Let me tell you again, in short, the groom will definitely satisfy you in the end."

Hongxiu listened in a daze, and there was a spark of hope in her eyes again. Going to a place that no one knows, and starting a new life with a satisfactory husband, what a temptation for her!What kind of high-ranking official's mansion, what kind of maidservants in power, are all unimportant... She is just like the flower, she still wants to live!

After thinking for a moment, she got off the ground, walked up to Rui'er and looked at her: "If this matter is true, you will definitely not help me in vain, tell me, what do you want me to do? "

Rui'er looked into her eyes: "Miss said you are a smart person, it is true. It is also a very simple matter. Recently, Jiu Miss's house needs to add people, and there are no extra people in the house, and not many people are willing to come to Jiu Miss's side. Come on. This time there will be a total of three more. If you leave the big room, at most you can spare one more to go to the small courtyard. Then the other two will have to be bought from Ren Yazi. What about Cuiying and Tianer? You know, this time, the girl just wants one or two clean people who can withstand the temptation to use for herself, so someone needs to find a few reliable people and send them to Ren Yazi."

Hongxiu frowned: "You mean you want me to help Nine Girls find her maid?"

"That's right!" Rui'er nodded, "Anyway, Miss Jiu means that the person who bought it this time must be used by her. As for how to find someone, how to send it to the mansion through Ren Yazi, of course it won't be difficult for you."

Hongxiu nodded thoughtfully: "It's really not difficult, but you are so bold, you girls are not afraid of me playing tricks? Or, tell the lady about this?"

Ruier frowned, "You can do whatever you want, but since we can help you, of course we can also harm you, you can decide for yourself! You are not the only maid in the long room!"

Hong Xiu's heart tightened, he thought for a while, and finally said: "But how do I know that you are not lying to me?"

Rui'er paused for a moment, then said: "Madam has been busy cleaning up the internal affairs recently, and she still has to do her filial piety in front of the old man. At least she has to wait for the old man to get better before she has time to deal with this matter, and yours is not so fast, anyway. Before Ren Yazi brings someone into the mansion, we will give you a letter of approval. As for you, you are afraid that we will trick you into marrying someone, that would be even better. You can leave the mansion whenever you want, can we stop you? , what did we stop you for?"

Since Hongxiu entered the mansion as a errand, he was afraid that only now he has been squeezed by others. After careful consideration, he decided that it was indeed a profitable deal, so he nodded and said, "Succeed, tell you girls, I promise her! However, I have to wait for her to give me a letter of approval before I can find someone."

Rui'er stood up: "That's natural." She stood up, stared at her and said: "Miss Nine's scheming is beyond your imagination. If she wants to find someone with a 'clean background', she must be such a person. Don't think about it." Get away with it. Otherwise, your end will be even worse than it is now."

Hongxiu thought of what happened in the past few days, and the scene where Hongmei was in the room just now, and immediately closed her eyes anxiously.

"Don't worry, since there is still a chance for me to be a human again, I don't want to make things difficult for myself."

Rui'er returned to Xiaokuayuan, Nanny Li went back to her room to sleep, Liuli was reading a book, Rui'er closed the door, and whispered: "Girl, it's done!"

Liuli put down the book, Rui'er stroked her chest: "It's so dangerous, if the servant girl goes to take a step later, I think she will be gone." As she spoke, she told the whole story.After hearing this, Liuli praised: "Good job! Go to the long room tomorrow and give this to Aunt Su." She took out a sealed envelope from the drawer and handed it to her.

In the morning, Auntie Su was still dressing up, and Heng Wei dismissed the maid, and walked in with a surprised expression: "Just now Rui'er came, saying that Miss Nine had a letter for you."

She handed over the envelope and said worriedly: "Could it be that she already knew about that matter?"

Aunt Su was also full of doubts, she stared at the envelope for a long time, then reached out to pick it up: "Let's see what she said."

Heng Wei nodded, picked up the buffalo comb, and continued to dress her up.In the mirror, Aunt Su's expression was focused. When she saw half of it, she suddenly frowned. She didn't relax until after watching it, but immediately frowned again.

Heng Wei: "What happened?"

She stared at the letter paper, and after a long time she let out a sigh: "She wants me to secretly find a husband with comparable conditions for Hongxiu!"

Hengwei was also stunned, and Aunt Su handed her the letter. She had followed Aunt Su all year round, and she was also literate, so she understood the content after a while. "Hongxiu usually rejects Xiao Kuayuan a lot, but now she wants to find another lover for her. It doesn't make sense!"

Aunt Su said: "That girl has always had a lot of tricks, I think she is trying to use this matter to plot something."

Heng Wei inserted a jade hairpin for her on the left temple, and said: "Then, is Aunt going to help her?"

Aunt Su lowered her head and straightened her sleeves: "Why don't you help? Up to now, nothing has happened about Cheng Yingniang's affairs. She is negotiating with me about Hongxiu's marriage. ——You hurry up and look for candidates, and do as she says."

Heng Wei paused, then said: "There are ready-made candidates. In the rouge shop allocated by the old lady to the aunt, there was Jia Fu, who was 20 years old this year. His family suffered a disaster the year before last, and he was the only one left in the house, so he came here. He has come to earn a living in Beijing. He has been working diligently in the shop all these years, and he doesn’t talk much. He looks a bit like the fourth young master, very Zhou Zheng, because he has no father, no mother, and no one to make decisions, so he has not been married until now.”

Aunt Su thought for a while and said, "Go to the cabinet and ask, and give me a confirmation letter."

Hengwei's confirmation letter arrived in the next noon. Jia Fu heard that the owner's mother was the matchmaker for him, so she agreed immediately, and even took a hairpin that she had used for a long time.Rui'er told Liuli the news, Liuli asked about Jia Fu's address and business, and thought it was reliable, she asked Rui'er to inform Hongxiu.Naturally, Jia Fu didn't know that Hongxiu was the one who caused the big trouble in He's mansion, and Hongxiu didn't know that the proprietor of the rouge shop that Rui'er said was actually Aunt Su.

Seeing the hairpin Ruier brought, Hongxiu couldn't help crying again.After crying, I cut a strand of hair and handed it to her: "I don't expect to have any way out in this life, and I will never come back to this house again. You give this to Jia Fu and say that I only ask him to treat me wholeheartedly. I don't care about anything else."

Although Rui'er still harbors resentment towards her, seeing her like this at this moment, she can't help feeling heavy in her heart.

But Liuli didn't feel any change when she heard it, she just said: "It will be good when Hongxiu can persuade Jia Fu to leave the rouge shop..." But because her voice was very low, Rui'er didn't listen to the truth, so she didn't take it seriously up.

After Hongxiu's accident, the atmosphere in the mansion was tense for several days. Although Liuli lived far away in the back garden, she heard about it from time to time.Of course, Nanny Li did not miss this opportunity to discipline Liuli.

"The eldest lady said that Hongxiu's mistake must not be repeated again, otherwise her fate will be your fate! At that time, no matter whether you are the ninth girl or the tenth girl, anyone who has secretly given or accepted will have to be expelled!"

These days she is changing ways to hold Liuli to set the rules. Ever since Hongxiu told her face to face last time, she can't wait to use the cane to hit a lady of great family. Liuli doesn't argue with her too much, just let her salute. Tell her to kneel down and kneel down.
