Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 26

In the east wing of the back study, the colorful clothes are draped in the mirror to take a selfie. I feel that my willow eyebrows are like Daisy, my red lips are like cherry blossoms, and my eyes are bright and full of affection. No matter how I look at them, I feel beautiful.

How could officials not love such a beauty?
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she hurriedly turned her head, seeing that it was Gu Sixiao who came in, she couldn't help curling her lips.

"What? Haven't seen the figure of the official yet?"

Gu Sixiao shook her head, but said nothing.

Since she came back from Mother Xu's yard at noon, Caiyi has been dressing up in the wing room, and told her to wait at the door, and to notify the officials loudly when she saw them, but she looked at the door for a long time, but she didn't see him. Gu Yong, on the contrary, just saw Mother Xu.

It seems to have come earlier than she thought, but looking at the posture, it seems that what she said in Mama Xu's yard before was not in vain, and it was not in vain that she had been waiting and never went to Grandpa Shitou's side .

"Sister Caiyi," unhurriedly, she counted the time in her heart, guessing that people had also arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and then said timidly: "I just saw Mama Xu, and also, Aunt Gu... ..."

"Mother Xu? What is she doing here?" Caiyi turned her head in surprise, thought about it, and stood up suddenly, "Bring Aunt Gu? What are you doing here?"

After staying in the mansion for more than half a month, they can be considered to know a little about the personnel and affairs in the mansion, and they also know that Aunt Gu is a tigress that everyone fears in the back house.

Not only because the girl who just entered the mansion has to go through her hands and be scolded, but also because the person who enforces the family law in this back house is Aunt Gu.

As soon as she heard Gu Auntie's name, Caiyi felt a little guilty.

Thinking about it, she seems to be—

"Hua'er, hurry up, go to the front yard to find the officials, just say, just say that Mama Xu and Aunt Gu are going to beat me, and ask the officials to come and save me - hurry up! If he is late, But you can't see me anymore..."

"Ah?!" Dazed, Gu Sixiao seemed to have lost his hands and feet, and waited for Caiyi to roar before running out as if waking up from a dream.

When she ran to the courtyard, Mother Xu and Aunt Gu were already blocking the entrance of the courtyard outside, followed by two rough women with big arms and round waists.

"Where are you going?" Mother Xu snorted coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's Caiyi? Why don't you see anyone?"

Looking up, she stretched out her hand and shouted: "Go! Get that girl out for me..."

The two servants responded, rushed into the east wing, dragged him out swiftly, and pushed him to the ground.

Caiyi was panting, and when she raised her head, the makeup on her face hadn't been removed, half of the rouge on her lips had been wiped off, and there was a smear of red on her cheeks, looking very embarrassed.

Looking down at her, Mother Xu sneered and said, "Yo, this one looks like a painted cat. What do you want to do? Sing a big opera? It's been a long time since our house invited an opera troupe to sing. What's the matter, you used to learn Singing?"

Getting up, Caiyi brushed the ashes off her skirt, complaining: "Mother Xu, what are you doing? You suddenly came to the back study, if you startle the officials, you've got into trouble!"

While talking, she kept winking at Gu Sixiao.

Gu Sixiao quietly moved towards the door, but before reaching the door, Aunt Gu pushed her and nearly fell to the ground.

Without turning her head, Xu's mother seemed to know what Gu Sixiao wanted to do, and said with a smile: "You are right about what you said. Fortunately, when I came, I found out that the official is not in the back study—— Caiyi, you don’t need to use Hua’er to find the official, the official doesn’t have the time to come to you now! Well, counting the time, the official should be in the Muchun Courtyard, listening to Aunt Liu’s singing Let's play a little song!"

After flicking her fingers, she stared at her fingertips, and only looked at Caiyi from the corner of her eye, "You're new to the mansion, I don't think you know, our Aunt Liu sings songs very well! It was because she was so fascinated by the song she sang that I took her as my concubine! Today, I think the official wants to listen to a new song all night..."

Caiyi shivered, she was quite stubborn at first, but now she was really scared.

Hearing Mama Xu's words, it's clear that it was planned to deal with her!

Return officials to listen to new songs all night!Maybe this is also calculated by Xu's mother - not just Xu's mother...

Licking her lips, Caiyi said harshly: "Mother Xu, what do you mean by that? My lady is kind, she said before that I should take good care of the officials! If you mess around like this, where will you put my lady?"

"What are you talking about?" Xu's mother snorted coldly, "Caiyi, you can eat indiscriminately with food, but you can't speak indiscriminately—ah, no, you can't eat indiscriminately with this food."

Raising her eyebrows, Mother Xu stared at Caiyi, and said in a loud voice: "What kind of thing are you?! Just a girl, dare to pretend to be an official, eat what an official can eat! Today, I will teach You should know the rules well, and understand what kind of food and what kind of house a girl like you should eat—Ms. Gu!"

The aunt responded, "Sister Xu, don't worry! I'll leave this lowly maidservant to me..."

With a cold snort, she approached Caiyi, and Aunt Gu slowly untied the long strip of cloth she had been holding on to, revealing what was inside, but it was a rattan three feet long and as thick as a thumb.

This, Caiyi and Gu Sixiao have both heard of it - the Gu family's little family law.

Although the rattan is lighter than the board, but it really hurts people, but it is not something ordinary people can bear.

Seeing Aunt Gu approaching with the cane, Caiyi's legs became weak, "I, I eat the food from the officials, that's what the officials agree to—I'm serious! If you don't believe me, go ask the officials..."

He turned around to escape, but he was grabbed by two rough envoy women, one on the left and the other on the right, let alone escape, they couldn't even break free.

Aunt Gu didn't say a word, she went straight to her and slapped Caiyi's butt with a cane.

There is also particularity in beating people. Generally speaking, the meat on the buttocks is thick, so there will be no major problems when beating, but the meat on the buttocks is also very tender, and it hurts very much.

Aunt Gu got down on the cane, Caiyi was already in pain so much that she yelled for her mother, she jumped up and tried to break free, but she couldn't break free, "Don't hurt, I really didn't lie..."

The subordinates kept going, Gu Auntie smoked and asked, "Do you know your mistake? Tell me, do you know your mistake?"

Although she was not close, Gu Sixiao looked at her coldly and could still see that Caiyi's skirt had been stained with blood. Although she had expected this, but looking at it now, she felt strange.

Turning her head away, she hardened her heart, pretending she didn't hear Caiyi's bitter cry.

It wasn't that she cheated Caiyi, but that Caiyi cheated herself.

After being beaten, Caiyi was still able to insist on her own right, but after a while, she couldn't hold on anymore and just begged for mercy, "Stop beating, aunt, good aunt, I know I'm wrong—I know I'm wrong No, I don't dare anymore! I don't dare..."

Aunt Gu snorted coldly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I, I shouldn't steal food from the officials, I shouldn't live in a wing room..." Caiyi cried bitterly, she had no strength to struggle at this moment, if it wasn't for the two rough women who supported her, she would have The son might have already fallen on the force.

"The worst thing you should do..." After speaking halfway, Aunt Gu swallowed it back, and turned to look at Mama Xu.

Taking a glance, Xu's mother said leisurely: "It's still five times away, and it's only twenty..."

"Mother Xu, Mother Xu, please spare me! Please forgive me! I, I dare not seduce officials anymore..."

"That's what you said..." Xu's mother snorted, "It's your good fortune to serve officials, our lady is not a master who can't tolerate people—"

Walking to the front, Mother Xu raised Caiyi's chin, and looked at her crying face seemingly benevolently. Hit it, this ass is really going to bloom..."

As soon as Mother Xu let go, Caiyi relaxed.

As soon as the two rough envoys let go, she fell to the ground.

Condescending, Mother Xu looked coldly at Caiyi who fell on the ground, indifferently and ruthlessly, "Come here and help Caiyi to her room—Hua'er!"

Gu Sixiao trembled, came over with trembling hands and feet, picked up Caiyi, and was about to go to the wing.

"Where are you going?" Aunt Gu stumbled, and Gu Sixiao almost fell headfirst with her colorful clothes on her head.

Taking her chin and nodding her head, Aunt Gu snorted and said, "Didn't you hear me? Help her go back to her room..."

"The ear room?" Gu Sixiao blinked her eyes, "Sister Caiyi's quilt is all there..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her waist, but it was Caiyi who squeezed her hard.

Not daring to speak anymore, Gu Sixiao went back to the ear room with the appearance of "the little boy is afraid".

The side room was dark, there were two beds, only one was made, there was no way she could help Caiyi to get on her bed.

Not daring to lie down, Caiyi could only climb up step by step and lie on the bed.

Gu Sixiao took a glance, and saw that the light green hakama pants under the colorful dress and blue skirt were full of blood stains. Although she didn't look at the wound, she knew that she was seriously injured just by looking at the skirt and pants.

"Mother Xu, I beg you to be a good person to the end, please help me to ask a doctor to take a look!"

Mother Xu didn't enter the house either, she just stood outside the house, but Aunt Gu followed and threw a porcelain vase over, "What kind of doctor please! What a serious illness, let the doctor see that your blooming butt looks good, right?" ? Take this medicine twice a day, and it will be fine if you lie down for a few days..."

"Mother Xu..." Caiyi wanted to beg again, but Mother Xu had already turned around and left. Even Aunt Gu left without stopping.

"These old wives—" Caiyi cursed in a low voice, but did not dare to speak out.

Gu Sixiao shook her head, and went over with the porcelain bottle, "This is Jinchuang medicine, it's from the Chu family medicine shop in Cixintang, it's considered a good medicine..."

"Have you used it?" Caiyi snorted.

Gu Sixiao remained silent, without answering, stepped forward to untie Caiyi's skirt, took off the hakama pants, saw the bloody wound clearly, and couldn't help frowning.

"I'll fetch water, I'll take the medicine first and then..."

She just turned around, but was grabbed by Caiyi, "Let's not worry about this, you go to the official first—I don't believe that the official stayed in Muchun Courtyard for one night, you go to the official, just say that I was arrested beated……"
