Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 24

Although Chunxi lowered her head to serve the young lady and uncle, she watched the young lady's expression out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that the young lady's expression changed from a little nervous to relieved, she knew that the uncle had given up the idea of ​​accepting her as a housemaid for the time being.Her nightmare fate temporarily changed.

"Chunxi, the smell of the ointment on your face has mixed with the aroma of the food." Liu Yuzhi said displeased.

Chunxi straightened up and said, "Miss, forgive me." Saying this, she quickly exited the living room and stood outside.

Chun Li felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately began to serve the young lady and aunt.

Afterwards, Chunxi brought tea and water inside the door, and Chunli and Xueling took it over to serve the young lady and uncle.

After dinner, He Junhua drank tea and said: "Chunxi, the old lady has already known about you. The people around the old lady have said good things for you, and this matter is over. You must strictly abide by the rules in the future, Don't have anything to do with the outsider." After the injury on the girl's face healed, he would take a look at it, then choose a day to show her face, and put it in the room.It is not enough to add fragrance to the red sleeves in the study, but it is still possible to warm the fragrance of nephrite jade at night.

Chun Xi, who was standing by the door, immediately bowed and said: "Yes." As long as she does not become a concubine or concubine, she will not be taken away by the young lady to keep her son. As you get older, if the young lady proposes to redeem herself when she is happy, she may be allowed to leave and return home to find relatives.

"Hey, hello, do you know?" In the ear room in the front yard of the Yushi Mansion where the guards rested, the lady guard Xu who was helping the kitchen in the backyard walked in quickly from the outside and waved to the surrounding companions.

"Know what?"

"Did you hear something new again? Tell everyone to amuse yourself."

"Speak up, speak up."

The guards drinking tea, wiping knives, eating melon seeds with Erlang's legs crossed, and the two guards who were wrestling with their arms all turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak.

The guard Xu shook his head and said, "The news spread in the backyard that the girl Chunxi was imprisoned in the firewood room to starve and then disfigured. Many women in the backyard felt sorry for her."

"Miss Chunxi? Isn't she the maid who had a rumor with Brother Zhao a few days ago? Why is she disfigured?" The guard holding the teacup in his hand asked in surprise.

The two guards wrestling wrists looked at each other, and one of them said, "It goes without saying, she was disfigured." Chunxi is the eldest lady's dowry maid, and only the eldest lady dares to disfigure her.These women are becoming vicious, and the elders will also bow down.

"Tsk tsk tsk. I accompanied Doctor Yushi once, and saw the two servant girls next to the eldest lady from a long distance. They are all young, and if they disfigure their faces, this life will be completely over." The guard drinking tea shook his head and said.The disfigured maid will not even think about marrying in this life. She will probably be a second- and third-class servant in the Da Furen's yard, and then become a housekeeper aunt or rough-ass old woman.

Zhao Mingtang, who was wiping the knife, did not change his expression on his face, and his eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

Did that brave and scheming maid consider the consequences when she confessed her love to him?It was the first time he heard the rumors and felt that he was being calculated, and he was angry. For a moment, he forgot to consider that the rumors might not force him to make raw rice and cook rice, but it would make her reputation disappear.

Her face was really done by the Da Furen?wrong.All the wives of officials want to be famous, and they dare not be cruel to the maid when she is still in the limelight.Probably, it was the servant girl who didn't want to be the uncle's roommate, and was forced to disfigure herself.Be decisive!
Zhao Mingtang admired Chunxi.It's a pity that she is a maid, her life is thinner than paper, although the solution that she thought of at the beginning was very feasible, it is a pity that she met him.

Alas, he didn't think carefully, and made a girl miserable...

A slight apology rose in Zhao Mingtang's heart.

On the second day, the wind was sunny and the magpies were chirping at the fingers.In the morning, firecrackers sounded from the south side of the backyard of He Yushi's mansion, and a pink sedan chair was carried out from the small courtyard behind Mrs. He's Tianxi Courtyard, and carried into Liuxiang Courtyard on the left side of Mrs. He's Xiefang Courtyard.

In the main room of Liuxiangyuan, a pair of elm wood red lacquered magpies and carved carved chairs sit on the chairs of Mr. He and Mrs. He. Under the guidance of the matchmaker in red, the newly entered concubine kneels with her seven-month-old belly upright. In front of Mrs. He, she held up the tray high and said humbly: "Mrs., please drink tea."

Mrs. He Liu Yuzhi, wearing a peony embroidered red dress, fully demonstrated her ladylike demeanor. She did not embarrass the new concubine. She took a sip of tea from the white glazed tea bowl, taught her a few words gently, and then took a sip from the wooden box held by Chunli. He took out a pair of gold-encrusted and jade-encrusted Ruyi bracelets that he prepared in advance from the plate and put them on the new concubine's tray.But maybe she is depressed in her heart, or she has a comparison in her heart. Today, Chunli's maid who is close to her is actually wearing a pair of red gold silk-wrapped arabesque bracelets.

"Thank you, Madam, for your tolerance." Aunt Ziyan said gratefully, and then she was bestowed by the old lady, and Qing Mei, the maid she brought over, helped her up.

Chun Li, who was suddenly rewarded with a gold bracelet by the lady today and asked to wear it, watched silently, with a hint of envy in her eyes.Most of the officials who took concubines were women from the Naliang family, and they rarely directly brought up the maids of the house to be concubines.Being a concubine and pregnant, Aunt Ziyan is very lucky.

Chunxi is also standing behind Liu Yuzhi today.She watched calmly, happy for her temporary escape from fate, seeing Aunt Ziwei sometimes stroking her waist with her right hand, she felt a little sympathetic to her.The male fetus in Aunt Ziyan's womb is destined to abort...
