Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 42 Can't Catch

"Cut, it's midnight, and it's making people uneasy again!"

In Mengzhuju, a third-class maid walked out of the gate of Mengzhuju, slammed the door shut, and walked back and forth on the path outside the courtyard, patting the carbon dust on her body in disgust.

"Sister Qiuhong, why are you so angry?" A little maid pushed the door and came out.

"I'll keep watch at night today, what are you doing when you don't sleep?" Qiu Hong asked.

"I was woken up by the heat, so I came out to blow some air. But you, why didn't you watch the night on the porch, and ran outside the courtyard to hide." The little maid laughed.

"I'm not being lazy, I'm letting go!" Qiu Hong said, turning around and staring at the yard bitterly: "It's all the fault of that one in there! In the middle of the night, I was asked to look for charcoal in the kitchen! I was covered in ashes." of!"

"What are you looking for carbon for in hot weather?"

"Who knows, I know that moths are going on all day long! Huh, it's annoying to say it. I don't know how that offended the prince, and the prince slapped her in the face as soon as he came back. I heard that those books are "The Female Ring" 》, "Female Virtue" and so on, such a big box!"

While talking about the size comparison, I couldn't help but spit first: "If I, no matter what the reason, immediately copied and sent it to Biyunxuan honestly for two days, maybe it would be okay. I have to be forgiven by the prince, she is lucky..."

"It's good for her, she ran to deliver snacks!" The little maid giggled and said in a mocking tone: "Bringing food and snacks to the master is the leftover tricks of our rich people, and she actually put it on the right way." Don't leave, but walk in a crooked way, this behavior is shameless, no wonder she was blown away by sister Xueyan! Who in the entire Chen Palace is not laughing at her now!"

This complaint couldn't be stopped at the beginning, Qiuhong said bitterly: "It really is Aunt Ying's former master, they are all the same! Just now Huiping got up to light the lamp again, I thought she finally woke up, and she wanted to copy the book overnight. But I listened carefully to Huiping talking to her about painting, drawing drawings and so on, and asked me to find Lao Shizitan! I don't know what to do, we are really bad luck for eight lifetimes, and we were assigned to her side. Sister Xiaolan, don’t you think so? Sister Xiaolan?”

Qiuhong was talking vigorously, but Xiaolan suddenly fell silent, and she stared blankly behind Qiuhong, as if she had seen a ghost.

Qiu Hong turned her head suddenly, and saw a slender and tall figure slowly coming from the green bamboo path, the moonlight all over her body was as cold as frost, her beautiful face was cold and rustling, and her eyes were dark and angry.

"My son..." Qiu Hong and Xiao Lan only felt their knees go limp, and unconsciously knelt down with a plop, their bodies trembling.

Qiu Hong was so courageous, she opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but Song Zhuo didn't give her a chance, and just threw down two words: "Stand dead!"

Xiaolan's body went limp, and she collapsed on the ground. After being stunned, Qiu Hong cried out to plead for mercy, but before she could open her mouth, she was kicked by Qingfeng directly, hit a stone and passed out.

Qinghe pushed open the gate of the small courtyard, Song Zhuo saw the light shining slightly from the master bedroom, and his handsome face became more and more angry.

Did she take his words on deaf ears?He gave her a box of books in public, just to beat her and tell her what to do and what not to do!Teach her to be safe and disciplined, three obediences and four virtues!Guide her in a good direction.

What a waste of all his efforts on her!Fortunately, he was still thinking all the way, as long as she obediently copied the book, and then acted coquettishly and apologized, the matter would be over.But she didn't expect that she was still drawing blueprints for Nishikori Tianxia!

Song Zhuo has never been slapped in the face like this... No, there was, it was the last time Ning Qing was about to leave!
Thinking of being slapped in the face by Ning Qing twice in a row, Song Zhuo's anger was suppressed for a while, and he went straight to Ning Qing's bedroom with a cold snort, and opened the door suddenly, but what he saw was a picture of a quiet beauty!
The lights were dim, and Ning Qing was painting carefully with her head down. Her eyes were clear but focused, as if what was in front of her was not a painting, but her future.

Looking at Ning Qing like this, Song Zhuo felt in his heart that he could no longer catch her!This feeling was like a ladle of cold water, pouring out the anger in his heart all of a sudden, making him unable to vent his anger.

"Cousin..." Ning Qing was taken aback by Song Zhuo's sudden appearance, she didn't dare to offend his authority head-on.

She threw the pen in a hurry, trying to hide her drawing in a hurry, but she suddenly found that not only could she not hide anything, but she would expose the target!

So she simply jumped up and walked up to Song Zhuo to salute, so as to cover his sight.

Seeing her trembling in front of him, Song Zhuo's mood was very complicated. He intentionally hit her, but he couldn't bear to lose his temper, so he said: "Since I know my cousin doesn't like it, why do I still do it?"

Ning Qing saw that he not only didn't scold, but also whispered softly. The grievances for many days couldn't help turning into tears, which fell one by one: "I just want to live a better life. What other people want, My family can give it to me, but my family can’t give it to me, so I can only go out and earn by myself..."

Song Zhuo was shocked when he heard the words, he knew what Ning Qing was talking about, it was dowry and dowry!
Except for slaves of low status, even concubines will have a dowry. As long as the dowry is thick, it will be easier to gain a foothold.

The Ning family can't even keep themselves now, so there is nothing extra for Ning Qing, Princess Chen only has two dilapidated shops, not even enough for expenses!

Looking at Ning Qing who was trembling and working hard for the future, Song Zhuo felt that his heart seemed to be torn apart, and couldn't help but stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
