Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 40
There are two fathers and sons, and it is Jia's mansion.

It was too exciting.

"I'll go and see!" This helpless and shrill cry made her heart tremble, and the despair in her words almost burst through the roof, which reminded her of the scene where the tough old woman beat up their sisters.

It turned out that in her heart, she once had a very strong desire for someone to give her a hand, just like now.

Qingwen covered her mouth tightly, nodded, then shook her head.It's just that he was frightened, his hands and feet were so weak that he didn't hold Yunzhu's hand at all, and watched the little man chase after him looking for the sound.

It took a lot of effort for her not to scream.Yun Zhu was young and hadn't seen the Lai family's uncle a few times, so she couldn't tell who the voice was.

But she heard it.

From the man's first sentence, Qingwen knew his identity.

He is the star Gongyue of the Lai family, the son of the most popular housekeeper in Jia's mansion, and the hero who has never lost his rich clothes and food since he was a child.Once upon a time, before Qingwen entered Jia's mansion, she knew that he was pulling the girl into the room, and when she pulled him over her head, she had ridiculed him with the most pungent words.

This morning, she refused to live with a man even more vulgarly and bluntly, and now she is...

let's go!Qingwen stomped her feet anxiously, trying to drag Yunzhu away from this place of right and wrong, but saw that short body nimbly climbing up the old elm tree by the wall.

oh my god.

Qingwen groaned in her heart, looked around, had to pick up a human-high bamboo pole and held it in her hand, and surrounded herself in the shadow of the tree trunk in fear, listening to the hoarse scolding and verbal humiliation coming from her ears, her original dislike for Lai Shangrong directly turned into hatred and nausea.

With such a family background, why would he force a woman who is unwilling to commit herself to her family?

But these are too far away, Yunzhu is hanging on the tree at the moment, leaning her small body towards the wall, Qingwen's heart is twisted when she sees it, her beautiful eyes are fixed on the person on the tree and the gate of the yard.

Yunzhu's complexion is gloomy, this small courtyard is far less exquisite than Lai's Mansion, although it is located on Ningrong Vice Street, but in the courtyard there are all kinds of clothes hanging out, rakes for weeding, axes for chopping trees, hoes and baskets are piled up everywhere.

It is a large courtyard.

Many servants of the mansion also live in the courtyard around the mansion, which is regarded as the joint accommodation area of ​​each mansion, and most of the people living in it are the servants and maids who do odd jobs outside.

In this era, it was difficult for the poor to do well, and when they were good enough to eat, the imperial court did not encourage slavery, but turned a blind eye to these dignitaries who merged with land tenants and servants.

And these tenants who cultivate land for others are busy all year round, and may not even have enough food and clothing, so they have to send the children they can't afford to the master's family.

In the days of March and April, the old locust tree has sprouted all the new green, and the cloud beads are firmly hidden among the branches and leaves. Looking in through the window, I saw a girl with disheveled clothes lying on her back on the small bed in front of the window.

Who is it?
While Yunzhu was thinking about it, she saw the girl struggling, her shoulder slammed against the window lattice, her face was full of pain and shame, and her tears kept pleading.

This fierce and powerless appearance fell into the eyes of the man, causing the man to raise his head, and there was a lot of humiliation in his words.

After seeing that face, Yunzhu seemed to be unable to hear anything, her eyes were confused and out of focus, she seemed to see everything, and at the same time she seemed to see nothing.

How could it be Lai Shangrong?
That woman is definitely not Xiao Yang, but she has never heard that the Lai family uncle has a concubine.

Steal fishy.

A thought popped into Yunzhu's mind, and then he remembered that famous line, the whole family is probably innocent of the pair of stone lions at the door!
She hugged her on the branch of a tree and shook the stone she took out of her arms. Lai Shangrong is a greedy, lustful and unscrupulous person. He has long been disliked by him. Now that his front tooth is gone, he has to bear half of the responsibility. Why don't you take revenge first!

But guessing the distance from the tree branch to the window, I felt a lot of frustration. If she was an adult, it would be fine. With her small figure, it would be very unrealistic to throw it over, let alone the boss.

What's more, in the capital city, under the foot of the Son of Heaven, there must be guards like Jin Yiwei patrolling the city everywhere. If it really happened to Jing Zhaoyin, would the Jia family give up on Lai Shangrong to protect her?

But I don't want to just leave like this, not to mention the girl who is also a woman but is bullied a lot, let alone Lai Shangrong's behavior, anyone in the family will only say that he is extremely absurd.

In the small courtyard, with the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, the surrounding dogs also barked in the twilight, and then the screaming house fell into a strange silence.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yunzhu used both hands and feet, not even noticing that his figure fell into the eyes of the woman behind him.He smashed the stone into the chicken coop, and then slid down the tree trunk with a rustle. Before he could take care of the dead bark on his body, he pulled Qingwen and was about to run away.

"It's Mr. Lai's family!" She explained while running, and when Qingwen heard the name, she almost jumped up reflexively: "You...you, you, you, you, you didn't see him, did you?"

Yunzhu thought for a while, then shook his head.

Lai Shangrong's heart is not comfortable, and some things can be considered to be vengeful, and now the two of them have clearly ruined his "good thing", Qingwen's worries are almost solidified.

Just as the two of them ran to the corner, it was not far from the corner gate of Jia's mansion. Looking far away, they even saw Lai Gui talking to the mother-in-law next to the second grandmother.

This Lai Gui is Lai Shangrong's younger brother, he has already achieved fame at the age of weak crown, just waiting for the family to manipulate him, like his elder brother, to become the second star of the younger generation of the Lai family.

But, when did he need to report to Second Mistress?The heavy mood of the two of them was replaced by doubts just now, and the slight gentle wind was blowing on their faces. After carefully sorting out the bark and grass residues on their bodies by the wall, they happily went to the corner door.

It's been a while since I tidied up my clothes, but Lai Gui hasn't left yet, so I had to meet each other before going to the mansion with the red eggs.

"Girls are shocked today." Before the skirt corners of the two of them entered the threshold, they heard the voice of the weak-crowned boy.

Qingwen staggered, which surprised Yunzhu. Just as she was about to try to deceive Dafa, Lai Gui said with an innocent face: "There is a happy event at home today, and I came to pick up my father's house. Your clothes and dresses... must have been neglected by my house. Xiaosheng will make up for it first."

The two looked at Lai Gui vigilantly, and saw him holding a fan and bowing to Zou Zou.Following the old woman's gaze, I lowered my head, only to see that the hem of the skirt was a little messy, and there were many stains on the embroidered shoes from running.

Guan Tian asked a man to look at him from the beginning. Although his gaze was not as unreasonable and vain as Lai Shangrong's, it still made people feel uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Qingwen pulled Yunzhu and said speechlessly: "Second Master Lao Lai cares. The courtyard of your mansion is very exquisite, which made us linger and forget to return. Only two more laps."

Fortunately, Lai Gui knew the fun, and seeing Qingwen's expression was not looking good, he said a few words on the occasion, bowed his head, and left.
