National color unparalleled

The East Courtyard of Meditation House, which had been quiet for a long time, was extremely lively today. The servants brought hot water into the bathroom, and Zi Su busily took out several newly made clothes for Su Lei to choose. www~Ziyuan handed over a pile of dirty clothes to the little girls, and told them to send them to be washed quickly.The servant, Lufeng, packed Su Lei's belongings.Juaner Sier carefully swept the courtyard again and again.When everyone was busy, only Yin Ruxing couldn't find anything to do, so he hid in his room and practiced calligraphy.

There is a small table under the south-facing window sill, which is the best-lit part of her room.Su holds the ink in his hand and grinds it clockwise on the inkstone.The back is straight, and the fragrance of ink floats.This is an essential step before practicing calligraphy, in order to calm down the mind.

The ink gradually fades from light to thick.Until the shade is right, she is fully immersed in the pen, and the tip of the pen is turning, on the paper.The hustle and bustle outside the window seemed far away.

The characters written are in lower case. The strokes of the characters here are exactly the same as those of Chinese characters, but the structure is different.What she copied was a collection of elementary school poems, the content was simple and catchy.

By the time the courtyard quieted down, one-third of the poetry anthology had been copied.In the inkstone, the ink has dried.

In the main room, Su Lei had finished taking a shower, changed his clothes and went to the west courtyard. He has been away from the residence for a few days, and he has a lot of things to deal with.

Things were almost done, and it was time for dinner.He went away for a few months before returning home, Liu Shi had explained early in the morning that the family would have a meal together in the evening.

Su Lei took Lvfeng and Zisu to Mianyunju, Lvfeng was a servant, waiting outside.Zisu followed him into the inner hall.Liu Shi glanced behind him and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, why didn't you bring Ru'er with you?"

Generally speaking, around unmarried men, the status of the housemaids is always higher than that of other maids.Even if Su Lei used Zisu and the old people to do his best, he should bring Ru'er along with him.Of course, if Su Lei is not satisfied with it, he doesn't have to.Liu's question was mainly to test his attitude towards the new Tong Fang.

As a result, Su Lei was stunned for a moment: "Who is Ru'er?"

Liu was stunned: "Second uncle, don't you remember? It was the one you bought four months ago. (·~) I sent it to your courtyard at that time."

Only then did Su Lei suddenly realize: "It's her." Isn't her surname Yin, why did she come up with such a strange name.Asked: "Is she still in my courtyard?" I didn't see anyone today, so I thought she was transferred away.

Mrs. Liu looked at Zisu meaningfully: "Second Uncle is joking, since she was promoted to be the girl in your room, why is she not in your yard?"

"Girl?" Su Leijo was startled, "When did it happen?" Of course he knew what the title of girl was alluding to here.But the problem is, why doesn't he know.Isn't Yin Ruxing serving in the east courtyard room?

Liu's smile became more subtle: "Second Uncle, your brother promoted her the day after you went to the barracks. All the servants in the courtyard know about the clothes and jewelry I ordered Mother Qiu to reward. Why don't you alone know?" ?”

Su Lei's face suddenly changed, he turned his head and stared at Zisu sternly: "Is there such a thing?" There was suppressed anger in his voice.My sister-in-law will not talk nonsense on this matter, so it is true.Leaving aside the housekeeping and so on, it's just that he doesn't know anything about the personnel changes in his courtyard for three months, which is a big problem.

Zi Su was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down: "Forgive me, Ru'er went to the military camp two months ago, and the slaves thought she had told the Duke. That's why I didn't talk too much."

"Bastard!" Su Lei was furious, his gaze was cold: "Who do you think she is? She is, how can women in her place willingly degenerate and become concubines? Of course she won't mention it, how could she say that!"

Huaxia women never serve a husband with others, and Huaxia women would rather reconcile than accept concubines.Although Yin Ruxing is not Shenmei, she is also a Huaxia daughter in general.The servant girl in the house is not a privilege but a shame to her.No wonder I haven't seen her all day, I think it's out of shame and indignation.

"Sister-in-law, this is inappropriate." He never looked at Zisu who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Liu Shi, "I don't care about that, so please ask sister-in-law." There is nowhere to go.Said: "Let her be a girl again."

Mrs. Liu smiled: "That's not good. ~Second Uncle, you know that in our house, there are always people who step down and praise the high." Speaking of this, his eyes glanced at Zisu intentionally or unintentionally: "How can you give me a piece of cake?" Once she is downgraded, she will have a hard time living in the mansion in the future."

Su Lei grimaced.Although he has no other intentions for Yin Ruxing, he can't watch her being bullied.Judging from the horse riding that day, she is also a strong character, although her body is weaker.After thinking for a while, he said, "Then let her be the big maid, in charge of house affairs."

Liu's eyes narrowed with a smile: "Okay, that's what I said originally. The rules are the same anyway." Tongfang maids are also maids, and some who are not favored are not as good as personal maids.Only the concubine's monthly schedule is different from that of a maid.Such a transfer is justified.Furthermore, the phrase 'specially in charge of house affairs' is clearly intended to protect her. She is on the same level as Zisu Ziyuan, but her affairs are separated.No one can order it casually anymore.

"Ru'er will be happy." Liu said with a smile, "When she came back two months ago, she told your brother that she wanted to learn to read and learn martial arts. Your brother asked her to stay with Jing'er and Qian'er." Go to school. It’s fine with Mr. Wei, but it’s rare that she didn’t leave for a day with Master Guo, which is really rare.” She said while letting her uncle come to the east room, where a table of banquets was set up. Before the hot dishes were served, several plates of cold dishes were neatly arranged with five sets of dishes and tableware.

"Learning martial arts?" Su Lei was taken aback.He knew that Yin Ruxing wanted to learn how to read and write.He also knows that he wants to learn how to ride a horse.It's strange to want to learn martial arts: "How old is she?"

"That's not what you said." Liu chatted with him softly, "I'm also wondering..."

Cai Sang squatted down, and pushed Zisu whose knees were numb: "How long will you kneel? Don't wait on me. Ergong will bring you a girl."

Zisu raised her head and met her eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She was ashamed: "Caimulberry, I..."

"Okay." Cai Sang gave her a blank look, "It's not the first day for you to serve Ergong. You don't know his sex yet? Get up on your own, even if you are punished, you have to go back. Come in."

Zisu burst into tears: "Caimulberry, I really don't know if Ru'er didn't say anything."

Cai Sang sneered: "Even if she didn't say it, how important is it for you to mention it? As long as you put your mind at ease, who would go out of your way to make things difficult for you? Do you think Madam doesn't know about the things in your courtyard? During the day, let her go to the kitchen to eat, boil water and serve tea, even a little girl can't order her. The second husband is a big man and he doesn't care. When you marry the second wife later, you and Ziyuan try this again? I'm afraid you don't want to live It's over." After she finished speaking, she got up and left.It's a good thing for a servant girl to be self-motivated, but it also depends on where she puts it.To think of fooling the master is really self-inflicted.

****************

After dinner, when Su Lei returned to Meditation House, the first thing he did was to tell Zi Yuan: "It's called Ru, Ru'er, come and see me." This name is really awkward.

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Ziyuan's eyes, and she turned around and left.Su Lei took all of her gaze into his eyes, with deep eyes.

Yin Ruxing was going to sleep at first, but when he heard Ziyuan knocking on the door, he got dressed in surprise, "Call me?"

"I'm not calling you." Ziyuan's sword eyes wished to eat her.Calling people at night, do you want her to wait for the night?Thinking of this, she felt as uncomfortable as a cat's paw being scratched.

When we arrived at the main room, Su Lei sat in the outer room of the bedroom and had already washed up briefly.He told Zisu and Ziyuan: "You all go out and rest." He never needed someone to be on duty at night, and no one was kept in the main house at night.

Zisu looked shocked, then quickly lowered her head: "Yes."

Ziyuan bit her lip, her watery eyes were crying.

Su Lei was impatient: "Why don't you leave?"

Zisu hurriedly pulled Ziyuan away, leaving the main room all the way.When they were far away, Su Lei said indifferently: "I told my sister-in-law that you will still be a maid in the future. The first-class maid is in charge of house matters."

Yin Ruxing wondered: "Can the housekeeper also be a first-class maid?" It wasn't her who was surprised.In fact, it was Su Lei's room, with only three rows of shelves and one couch, very small in size.Less, and less decorations.Just adding a first-class maid for such a place, how did he tell Liu Shi?

"Why not?" Su Lei asked back, and it took a while to realize: "This is a small room in the east courtyard, and the formal room is in the west courtyard. I will take you to see it tomorrow and you will know."

Yin Ruxing also came to a sudden.It turns out that the family is rich and has two houses.The one on the east is for recreation, and the one on the west is for business.She is ignorant.

"Move your residence as well." Su Lei said again, "there are quite a few vacant rooms at the end of the west courtyard. You can pick one and move there later. It will be more convenient. You, don't you mind?" Mostly, a few servants also live there.Of course there are some women.It cannot be said that there are no women, but she is the only young and beautiful woman.This treatment is also to avoid suspicion, the two do not live in the same courtyard at night.Otherwise, the stipend will remain the same, only an errand will be changed casually.Others would still treat her like a housemaid.

Yin Ruxing shook his head: "I don't mind." The women in the kitchen and the waiter room and a few rough maids all live in the back row of the west courtyard, and it's not like there are no women.What does she care about.

Su Lei nodded: "Then we will move there tomorrow. By the way, I heard that you are studying with Jing Er and the others, and you are also practicing martial arts?"

"Yes." Yin Ruxing nodded in agreement.

Su Lei frowned: "Why do you suddenly want to practice martial arts?"

Yin Ruxing sighed: "I can't help it, the law and order here is not good. Anyone with strong strength can rob orphans and sell them, and the government doesn't care. I have no one to rely on here, who else can I rely on except myself?"

The words are very calm, but it does not sound sad.It was actually illegal for Chen Wu to buy her.First, she is an adult and has autonomy.Second, the villagers of Shoujia Village are neither her relatives nor her clan.According to Tianyuan's law, there is no right to sell her.And Su Chen's family, as the supreme ruler of Higashizumo, not only did not pursue the matter, but also legally bought her by mistake.Let her status as a servant be confirmed.

In other words, she, Yin Ruxing.In fact, he was coerced into slavery by Shoujia Village, Chen Wu, and the Su Mansion in Tianyuan State.

Su Lei's face immediately turned red.
