atypical prostitute

Chapter 53 Yu Jing's Ambition

The person who passed on arrived at Sizhiyuan early in the morning, but the old lady is old after all, and she has just experienced the pain of losing her son. mortal sin?
Therefore, when the news reached the courtyard, no one entered.

Because the eldest wife didn't like it, she was exempted from the morning inspection after she officially moved into Sizhiyuan, so Yujing would serve her in front of the old lady every morning.And the old lady, as she gets older, is also afraid of loneliness.With such a sensitive person as Yujing by her side, although she was heartbroken at the loss of her son, she did not collapse because of it.

It's the beginning of autumn, and the old lady has been worried and sad recently, so Yujing specially prepared snow lotus soup that nourishes yin and nourishes lungs and serves her.The old lady always liked her filial piety, and the snow lotus soup was stewed authentically. With Yujing's attentive service, she drank most of the snow lotus soup in a short time, and even the mother-in-law who made the soup got a small reward.

It was when grandparents and grandchildren were getting intimate that Mother Liu came in and told the old lady: "Just now I saw Shen Qing's family in the yard. She was stuck in the yard, her face turned cloudy and sunny for a while, and she looked weird. I saw her always During the day, I followed Aunt Shen in various courtyards, and went over to teach me a few words when something went wrong, but she lost her mind and didn't answer, which seemed a bit weird."

"That bitch didn't let me worry about it."

When Aunt Shen was involved, the old lady was unavoidably a little angry, she coughed again when she spoke in a hurry, Yu Jing hurriedly knocked on her back, and said, "Can you get rid of that eye-catching fork?"

The old lady was about to nod, but after a second thought, she said: "Not necessarily. I guess Shen Liji would not dare to be disrespectful to me."

Turning to the old woman standing with her arms down, she said, "Go and call that Shen Qing's family in."

"Yes."

The mother-in-law agreed, and brought Shen Qing's family in after a while.

That Shen Qing's family has been in the inner house for many years, knows the filth between the old lady and Aunt Shen, and understands the reason why the cats and dogs in front of the old lady are more respectable than other places, entered the main hall, did not dare to neglect, hurriedly knelt down and saluted, calling her a slave, Her words were extremely humble and humble. The majestic old lady who originally made up her mind to find her wrong and punish her so as to take the opportunity to kill Aunt Shen suddenly felt that this person really respected herself from the bottom of her heart, and she was much more pleasing to the eye when she saw her again .

After a confession, let's get down to business.

The old lady said leisurely: "Just now someone saw that you entered the Si Zhi Yuan but did not enter the main hall, but just walked around in the courtyard. What happened?"

"Back to the ancestors, the servants are ordered by Aunt Shen to deliver a message to the ancestors. It's just that the news is not a good thing. The servants are stupid and don't know how to say it. Therefore, staying in the yard will cause people to misunderstand .”

Shen Qing's family is so eloquent, he found an excuse for himself in a blink of an eye, and spoke slickly when talking on the phone.

The old lady and Shen Liji have always had a heart-to-heart relationship, upon hearing this, she immediately said: "Why doesn't the old lady remember that she sent me good news? From Shen Qing's family, if you have anything to say, just tell me, old lady, I can stand it!"

She was talking nonsense, but Shen Qing's family didn't dare to speak out, and hurriedly confessed: "Return to the old lady's words, it's a big matter, the old slave dare not speak out."

"Could it be that she ordered you to bring some outrageous words?"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Shen Qing's family saw that the situation was not right, and just now all of them were in vain in exchange for their attentive service. They quickly knelt down and said: "This old slave is so stupid that he caused the ancestor to misunderstand my aunt. It is really a heinous crime. But... this The thing... is really..."

Seeing that her gesture was not fake, the old lady's face softened a little, and she said, "Just say it, I am over seventy years old, and I have seen so many wind and rain, what is there to be afraid of? Even if the sky falls Even if you come down, you can still stand up."

"Old ancestor, that old slave is outspoken!"

Shen Qing's family bowed twice more, and said softly: "Last night... the first lady... went with His Highness the Crown Prince..."

"It turns out that the jade garland has gone. I think it's a big deal..."

The old lady was getting old, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while, she repeated it calmly, then suddenly her mind turned around, her face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "What did you say! Say it again! What's wrong with the jade garland! What do you mean by following the prince?" Yes! Explain it clearly! Understand it!"

The ending was hoarse and sharp, which made people tremble.

Shen Qing's family knew that the old lady was emotional at the moment, but she had already spoken, so she could only bite the bullet and continue:
"Back to the ancestors, the lady went west with His Highness the Crown Prince last night. When the maids in the Yunzhi Pavilion found out, they were... already out of breath."

Hearing the bad news for the first time, it was already a bolt from the blue, but at this moment she was convinced, the old lady lost control of her emotions, and the sadness and fear that had been suppressed for a long time rushed out of her head, and it was——

"No...it's impossible...God...how could you abandon my Fu family...how could—"

I couldn't get my breath straight, and fell straight down!
Yu Jing was so frightened that Huarong turned pale, and rushed forward, saying: "Old Ancestor, what's wrong with you! Don't scare me!"

Mother Liu also suddenly lost her mind and started howling.

It was Shen Qing's family who was so clear-headed that he reminded him: "Second lady, I think the old ancestor was caught in a hurry and lost his mind. It would be better if the feelings calmed her down. The old slave will send someone to invite the living god to come over. ..."

"What are you doing here! Hurry up!"

Yu Jing yelled and cursed, and at the same time ordered those who were stunned by the sudden change to come forward and serve.

……

……

Not long after, news came to Fuchun's residence. Although Li Ci didn't like the domineering old lady in the past, but when he thought of the many turbulent waves he would face in the future, and seeing the trivial matters of the Fu family, he felt kind and lovely.So when he heard that the old lady had collapsed because of the news of Yulan's death, Li Ci rushed over immediately after appeasing the old lady.

When she arrived, Aunt Shen had already come to preside over the overall situation, and seven or eight doctors surrounded the old lady tightly.After all, men and women are different, Li Ci took a few glances from a distance, saw the peaceful atmosphere on the other side of the screen, guessed that the old lady would be safe this time, so she let go of her worries and prepared to go to the side room to rest.

Thinking of being so busy today and not being able to sit down to take a breath until now, Li Ci couldn't help but smile wryly, but Yu Jing said beside him: "Si Niangzi, can you take a moment to talk."

Seeing the faint tears in the corners of her eyes, Li Ci said, "What the second lady wants to say, just say it."

But Yu Jing said: "It's not convenient here, let's go out and talk."

Although Li Ci was surprised, on second thought, maybe she felt that there were too many people talking here, so she followed her into the green gauze closet.

After entering the room, Yu Jing closed the door after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then said to Li: "Si Niangzi, I heard that my mother was planning to help Ling go back to the North, but I don't know who is staying in the capital." ?”

Li Ci has been with Yu Jing for a long time, seeing her like this, she knew that she must have heard some rumors, and was anxious in her heart, but she didn't dare to make it clear, so she made nine turns and eighteen turns.

Li Ci didn't like her tact, said solemnly: "That's true, what mother means is that Aunt Shen and a group of old servants will be left to take care of the mansion in the capital, maybe the mansion may be sold."

"Oh."

Yu Jing made a sudden realization expression, and started to go around again.

She evasively said: "But I don't know what kind of young heroes there are in Beidi? Si Niangzi Mo Xiao, you and I are awkward in age, and it is really too late to talk about others after filial piety."

Li Ci thought to herself, you are really straightforward, but she said: "Mother is also worried about this matter. Beidi is no better than the capital, let alone a second-class son of a family, even a son of an official family of the right age. It’s rare. The eldest princess came to express her condolences the day before yesterday, and my mother has already complained to her.”

The eldest princess mourned the Fu family, and had a conversation with the eldest wife and fourth wife of the Fu family in the warm pavilion. The whole family of the Fu family knew about it, and even part of the content of the conversation was vaguely leaked.Li Ci understood that Yu Jing's conversation was nothing more than trying to bring up this matter, so she didn't deliberately deviate from the topic.

Even though Yu Jing has always been high-minded and bitter and suspicious, after all these years of getting along with each other, she is deeply affectionate, and just lost the jade garland, Li Ci really can't bear to hurt her.

What's more, apart from the whirling thoughts and occasional sensitivity and suspicion, Yu Jing has never been harmless.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jing saw that Li Ci took the initiative to bring the topic to the eldest princess, there was a little panic on her face, and she said: "I don't know what the eldest princess said to the mother."

"What the eldest princess said was nothing more than persuading mother to let nature take its course. It's a troubled time right now, and it's a blessing to be able to leave the capital city. The matter of children's in-laws is determined by heaven."

Li Ci was talking nonsense, but her perfunctory words made the suspicious Yu Jing's eyes clear. She took Li Ci's hand and said affectionately: "Si Niangzi, do you remember the real Baihe on Yuelu Mountain?"

Li Ci nodded, and waited for the dialogue between heaven and man, so that she would be a human being in two lives, and she would never forget it after seeing it once.

"Reverend Baihe said that I can't marry into an ordinary family, and that my fate is two years later. Now the real person's words have been fulfilled one by one. But I feel false from time to time. The purple shirt and jade belt will really come to my door in two years. Marriage proposal? Those well-known ladies in the capital can't meet such good fortune, so I went to the Northland, so I could be wishful thinking."

Yu Jing spoke in an orderly manner, and Li Ci heard Xian knew what she meant, and turned her words around in her heart. The meaning was nothing more than that she did not want to passively wait for the reward of fate, and hoped that Li Ci would help her create opportunities.

But her speaking style was too tactful, and Li Ci's heart was furious when she heard it!
Don't you just want to stay in the capital and live in the princess mansion with yourself?Why do you have to speak so ambiguously!

So he couldn't care less about being reserved, Li Ci withdrew his hand, and said directly: "Second lady, we are all sisters of the same family, why bother to talk about the two families, just listen to the birth. If you want me to help you, just say it."

Seeing that she was slightly angry, Yu Jing couldn't help being startled, and said after a long time: "As a child, one should be filial. The old lady is ill, so I should have stayed by her bedside. But—there are many kinds of filial piety, such as serving at the old man's house." It’s one kind of thing before, and it’s also a kind of thing to fulfill the wish of the old man as soon as possible. Now that the family is undergoing great changes, and the old lady is in a hurry, I’m afraid it won’t last long.”

"... What the ancestors wanted was for the descendants of the Fu family to be prosperous, and all the ladies are looking for a good family."

"so--"

Li Ci has never been used to Yujing's endless twists and turns, although she is pitiful for her status as a concubine since she was a child, and she is dependent on others, so it is inevitable that she has more thoughts.

Seeing Li Ci's impatient expression, Yu Jing hurriedly cut a long story short, saying: "The Fu family is no better than before, and the eldest wife never likes me. If I go to Beidi, I don't know what kind of family I will find for me. I also ask Fourth Lady to help me, and forget about the old ancestor's concern."

Finally brought the topic back, Li Ci couldn't help exhaling, but said in his mouth: "How can Second Lady want me to help? I'm the same as you. I'm a daughter's house who doesn't leave the door. I'm afraid—— Aimo can't help."

"It's not that I can't help, the only one who can help me right now is Fourth Lady."

Yu Jing clenched Li Ci's hand and said sadly: "Among brothers and sisters, you are the only one I can trust. Only you will not laugh at my wishful thinking after knowing that I am Luan Fengming, and you are the only one who will not laugh at my wishful thinking when I am ridiculed by a wealthy lady. Always encourage me to stand up for me. I have always been humble and self-respecting, and I am most afraid of being looked down upon. As long as someone treats me well, I will... Si Niangzi, I have lived enough days of being looked down upon by others. A concubine's life is not as good as that of the maid in front of his wife. So..."

She lowered her head, as if gathering courage, and then raised her head after a long time, her eyes burning with determination.

She said: "So I definitely want to marry better than half of the concubine girls in the world, and even... delusional not to lose to those concubine daughters of high families! I... have had enough! I want to marry a good family, let those concubine Those who have ridiculed me kneel down to pay my respects!"

"Second lady, you...why bother?"

"Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and people fight for their breath. Since Master Baihe said that I was destined by the phoenix, why should I wrong myself to marry that ordinary person! I...will not be reconciled after all!"

It was the first time Li Ci saw Yu Jing like this, her already beautiful face, because of her determination, became more and more beautiful and could not be looked at directly.

Can't help but praise: "Second lady has such an awareness, I will definitely help you. It's just people who plan things, and God to make things happen. What happens in the future depends on the luck of the lady."

"It's natural."

Yu Jing spoke calmly, peeling off the porcelain white surface, revealing the truth that looked like a ball of fire, a fire that was about to fly out of the phoenix.
