Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Zhao Lu was very happy in her heart, feeling relaxed without any worries. However, Yuan Chun's words knocked her into the pit again.

"Go and meet someone for me. If you can persuade her to return astray, I will give you ten gold coins." Thinking of the way Yuanchun's eyelids moved slightly and he softly opened his red lips and spoke softly.Zhao Lu suddenly raised alarm bells and asked defensively: "Who are you meeting?"

Of course, there was no reply.

Before arriving at her destination, she didn't expect that there was such a cold and remote place in the mansion of Yizhou's parents.

The early autumn with bleak vegetation is common in the capital, but Yizhou is located in the southwest, and most of the vegetation can stay lush until the end of October. Among the popular mansions, this chlorosis makes it even more deserted.

Zhao Lu stared at the back of the little maid leading the way, feeling that the person he wanted to see was not doing well, was he injured?Seriously ill?I couldn't help but think that it was really hard to earn ten gold.

"Miss Zhao, please." The little maid stretched out her hand in a polite manner. It was obvious that she had received the order in advance and would not enter.

Zhao Lu nodded, looked around, and was about to enter the yard, but he hadn't lifted up his skirt yet...

"Yunzhu!" As soon as she moved, the figure next to her came in. When Zhao Lu saw it was Siqi, the idea of ​​meeting an old friend in a foreign land suddenly came to his mind. A small smile appeared on his lips, and he asked in surprise: "Sister Siqi Why are you here? Are you all okay?"

Seeing that her brows were relaxed and happy, and her stature was much taller than before, but she still took the lead in asking her affectionately. Si Qi was happy for a moment, and then silently stepped forward to hold her hand. This was considerate as he had never been before.

"I'm fine, but my second aunt...ma'am, she's...not very well."

After the second girl got married, she hurriedly left for a foreign country. Yingchun, who was not good at expressing her feelings, became even more elusive after hearing about the incident at the Duke's Mansion.

Now that they have encountered a disaster and are pregnant, everyone above and below them has tried to persuade them. Today, the young master said that an old friend came to visit his wife. Si Qi was a little happy, but it was Yunzhu...

"I haven't seen you for a long time. My wife still talks about your candy cane design from time to time. There are still women in Yizhou City who use your method to make some candy. It's really interesting." Even though she was just a little girl, she was still an acquaintance. Si Qiqiang greeted her energetically, and vaguely revealed some recent news about the Spring Festival.

A kind of helplessness, like treating a dead horse as a living horse.

Seeing Zhao Lu smiling gently, he paused and whispered: "For the sake of past friendship, try your best to save our two girls."

"Who is outside?" A female voice came from the dark hall, as gentle as before, but there was no candlelight in the room, so Zhao Lu couldn't see clearly.

The doors and windows of the cave were closed tightly, and the smell of incense and candles mixed with the incense of agarwood gave off a turbid smell of dying. The question just now was like the tentacles of some small animal popping out of the hole, and there was no sound in an instant.

Zhao Lu pursed his lips and nodded to Si Qi, "Second Miss treated me well in the past, and... there are many people who care about her. If something happens to her, everyone will feel sad."

It was indeed good that the unfavored Miss Bian was able to reward him with ten taels of silver. With Yuan Chun's promise, Zhao Lu sincerely stepped forward.

However, she didn't know what identity Yuanchun was facing the Chen family, so she could only speak softly in roundabout ways. Si Qi tightened his hands and said earnestly: "Go in quickly, I'll cook a pot of sweets for you." Here comes the soup.”

With a creak, sunlight streamed into the house.

The second girl's greeting made Yingchun's eyes soften a bit, "It's Yunzhu, sit down."

Although her voice was soft, it was not weak at all. Zhao Lu breathed a sigh of relief. She was only worried that she would not be able to use it and make this sensitive girl even more depressed.

She just wanted to hug Yuanchun's thigh tightly, and didn't want to bear the consequences that she shouldn't have.

If he had known that the late pregnancy in Yingchun would lead to depression and illness, Zhao Lu would not have made this trip no matter what.

But, it's all here.

"It is a troubled time in the capital. A noble man asked me to come and persuade the two girls. I heard that the eldest master of Rong Mansion and his friends have gone north. I don't know the specific situation. However, His Majesty resides in His Majesty's Highness the Crown Prince. There may be an amnesty... Mr. Chen He has a reputation as a loyal minister and a good general, and he also said that no harm will come to his married daughter, so it is certain...Second girl, can I continue?"

The sunlight in autumn was already sparse, and became more dappled after passing through the huge locust tree in the yard. Therefore, there was even less light in the house. Yingchun did not speak, her posture was subtle and frightened, He knelt down in front of the small Buddhist altar with his hunched body. As he walked closer, he seemed to be able to hear his teeth chattering.

When Zhao Lu saw this, he stopped trying to light the lamp. The injured little beast might not want to be seen licking his wounds. Yingchun was introverted, so it was better not to irritate her.

Although the person is not dead, the family is ruined, and she must be just like herself, fearing for tomorrow.After all, in this era, the family is like a big tree, and the open umbrella is like wings. Even if it is dilapidated inside, it is still a retreat that can be relied on.

Now Jia She's whole house is gone, half of the lintel of Rongguo Mansion has collapsed, and there are not many heirs. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the future is not bright.

Thinking of this, the sympathy in Zhao Lu's heart couldn't help but rush out. He originally thought it was the noble lady's sorrow, but now it's revealed that it's worse than himself.

Seeing Yingchun hanging her head and looking at Zhao Lu blankly, the incense sticks on the Buddhist niche were almost burning to the end.

Zhao Lu didn't even look at it, he just gently gathered Yingchun's cloak, and like magic, he took out a snack from his sleeve and said, "Second girl, this is Yichunfang's pine nut candy, do you want to try it?"

Yichunfang is a dim sum shop run by Xiaohong and his wife. Due to Lin Zhixiao's connections, it is also a very representative landmark in the capital.

"Okay." Yingchun said to Zhao Lu gently.

Zhao Lushun climbed up with the pole and helped Yingchun up from the futon. Only then did he see her unexpectedly big belly...and the half of the white silk hanging down from her sleeves.

Not sure whether it was the cold wind blowing or the cold in the room, Zhao Lu shivered all over and couldn't help but shiver. He smiled dryly with complicated eyes and said: "Second girl, give this to me, don't trip you. "

Upon seeing this, Yingchun hesitated for a moment, then handed Bai Ling to Zhao Lu with difficulty but calmly.

That's all, just look for another piece.

The sweet smell of pine nut candy melts in your mouth, making your mouth sore for a moment during the Spring Festival.She thought about it for a long time, and many people had come in to comfort her in the past few months. It was just the baby in her belly that supported her shaky life.

When she was a boudoir, she was also a very smart girl, but in such a complicated world, no matter how clear-headed she was, the panic in her heart could not be faked.

But as the day of giving birth got closer, she felt relaxed.

Seeing an old friend coming to persuade her, Yingchun's eyes were still dull. She patted Zhao Lu's arm and said slowly: "I understand, I have the blood of the Chen family in my belly. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."

Yingchun ate all the pine nut candies that Zhao Lu took out, showing some calmness on her face and lowering her eyes.

I won’t do stupid things, and I still won’t do stupid things now...

In just a few words, Yingchun's depressive tendencies appear to be very serious. What supports her is probably that she just can't bear to take her young child on the road.

If she wasn't pregnant, I'm afraid Siqi wouldn't have given her a chance to cook sweet soup.

But she was depressed... Her skill at making catgut was good, but she was mentally ill... Zhao Lu had ten mouths in his heart insulting his greed and short-sightedness.

She couldn't say anything decent to persuade her. To be fair, if she was born in a noble family, but her father didn't care for her and her stepmother didn't love her... Actually, it wouldn't matter. At least, she could still rely on her identity.

But after you get married and get pregnant in a daze, you suddenly tell yourself that your family is hated by the emperor, and you say that the trouble is not harmful to the nuns. But if your husband's family betrays you, what chance will a wealthy lady with no power to tie the chicken have? Thoughts?
Especially since Yingchun is still alone now, it makes her feel a little sad that the gentle and beautiful little girl she once was has turned into what she is now.

Zhao Lu held his forehead, breathed a few times, and then showed a concerned smile to Yingchun, "Second Miss is heavy. I have had some adventures in the past few years. If Second Miss doesn't mind, can you ask me to ride with you?" pulse?"

The Li meridian under her finger jumped powerfully and quickly. Combined with what Si Qi said, it was possible that the due date was within the next few days. No wonder Yuan Chun and others who had been safe along the way were so sick that they rushed to the doctor and pushed themselves out.

When a woman gives birth, she is wandering around the gate of hell. If she has not yet given birth, wouldn’t she be in even greater danger?
