Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 11
When she stabilized her body and was about to ask Cheng Yu if it looked good, Aunt Zhao suddenly broke in.Holding the red hijab in her hand, she looked at Cheng Yu and me, with a tone of excitement but with some regret.

"My lord, Qing'er, the time has come, and the sedan chair will be here soon."

Cheng Yu glanced at me indiscriminately, and nodded to his aunt.

My aunt immediately stepped forward and gently unfolded the red hijab in her hand, and the red color immediately filled the room.I gently closed my eyes and felt the hijab slowly fall from the top of my head, covering the whole world.

"Now go say goodbye to the prince and concubine." Auntie's voice sounded in my ears, and she supported me carefully.

Xu Chengyu nodded, and my aunt began to help me walk towards the door.When she reached the door, she stopped.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yu's faint voice sounded from behind.

Aunt Zhao was in a bit of a dilemma, "It's all because I was confused for a moment and forgot that the bride's feet should not touch the ground when she gets married. What can I do now, where can I find someone with a good birthday to act as Qing'er's father and brother to carry her into the sedan chair? !"

Quiet around.

half an hour.

"My lord, what are you doing?" the aunt asked in surprise.

There was warm body temperature on my arm from the other side, Cheng Yu helped me to sit down at the table, and then took off his shoes.

He lifted my foot and put his shoe over my embroidered one.

"All right."

His voice was still clear, "Hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up with the auspicious time."

My aunt hurriedly said yes, called the servant girl to come in and helped me to kowtow to the princess' room, and then came to the front yard together.Cheng Yu's shoes are too big for me, and it is very inconvenient for me to walk, but they are very practical and I walk very steadily.

After leaving the front hall, Xi Niang came forward to replace my aunt and led me into the sedan chair.The sedan chair was sprinkled with whole grains, and after I sat down, Xi Niang told me that I must not move my position.It is said that sitting still can ensure the future is safe and secure.

I disapproved in my heart, but still nodded lightly, indicating that it was clear.

Xi Niang was about to put down the car curtain, but stopped for some reason.The sound of the fireworks is a bit loud, and it hurts the ears.Xi Niang leaned forward and said, "Bride, this father and brother's shoes can be taken off after they get on the sedan chair."

I was taken aback for a while before nodding.

In the next second, the red car curtain fell, covering my connection with the outside world.

There was a sway under his body, and the sedan chair was lifted up, and he staggered forward.

Reaching out to lift the hijab, he looked down at the shoes on his feet, and bent down to take them off.Just as he didn't know what to do, Ruyi's voice came from outside the curtain.

"Sister Qing'er, give me the things. My aunt told me to keep them."

The prince was afraid that I would not get used to getting married at the beginning, so he sent Ruyi to live with me for a while, and let her come back after everything is settled.

After thinking about it, he said "Thank you", and then quietly handed out the shoes from the side of the curtain.Ruyi's cheerful voice sounded again: "Sister Qing'er, what are you talking about? We grew up together, and today is a good day for you to get married. I'm just going to get you a pair of shoes. Don't tell me it's all thanks to you."

Hearing this, the corners of her lips curled up, but when she was about to speak again, there was Xi Niang's reprimand from outside the sedan chair.Hearing Ruyi's aggrieved apology, I also shut up, put down my hijab, and sat quietly.

Yang Ziyu told me that after we got married, we would go back to Mocheng and live with his family.But now for the marriage, he rented a house outside the city to worship.

I used to think that he was just a young man of the rivers and lakes, where did he get the money to buy so many things.But he reassured me, saying that the family is in business, so I have little savings, so I don't need to worry.I was afraid that if I continued to talk about it, it would hurt his face, so I stopped mentioning it.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, there were faint voices of officers and soldiers outside the curtain, presumably they were about to leave the city gate.Taking advantage of the time when Xi Niang was negotiating with the officers and soldiers, Ruyi leaned over to the side of the curtain and asked me softly, "Sister Qing'er, this is the first time that Shizi has gone so far outside the Great Wall, but you can't see him off in person, would you Won't you be a little sad?"

I froze, "What did you say?"

Ruyi paused slightly, and said in an uncertain voice for a while: "After sending my sister to the sedan chair today, the son and the prince will lead troops to Mocheng, doesn't my sister know?"

Before I could answer, I heard Xi Niang calling "get up the sedan chair".The sedan chair began to shake again, making my whole head dizzy.

leave today?Then why didn't you tell me?

There was a panic in my heart, as if I was losing something very precious, and I tried my best to restore it, but there was nothing I could do.

Ruyi was afraid that I was in a hurry, so she took the opportunity to explain hurriedly: "I heard that I received an express report from the border guards, saying that the Lord of Qingze passed away yesterday, and the country of Qingze is in chaos, and his son does not know what he will do in order to fight for the throne. Come. That's why the prince and the others hurried away."

The body suddenly leaned against the wooden board, and it was painful.

"What's wrong?!" Ruyi asked nervously.

I smiled wryly, and after saying "It's okay", all the strength of my body was pressed against the wooden board.Thinking that the luggage packed for Cheng Yu should be considered complete, it seems that nothing is missing.I wonder if he is not used to having no one around to serve him?Mocheng is so dangerous, will he be injured?

Messy thoughts filled my mind, but suddenly there was a sound of suona playing in the distance.It turns out that there is someone like me who is going to marry a woman today, so it is really predestined.

This idea cleared my mind a lot, no longer obsessed with the chaos in my heart, and carefully felt the joy of another woman, maybe this could alleviate some of my fear.

The sound of the music was getting closer and closer, and it even overwhelmed the sound from our side.

"Sister Qing'er, their sedan chairs are the same as ours." Ruyi said with a little surprise, her voice was mixed with the music, making it difficult to hear clearly.

"It's just," she was a little puzzled, "the road is so wide, why are they walking towards us?"

"Ah!" Xi Niang's scream sounded through the air, and then there were crackling firecrackers all around.I don't know how much was set off, but even I can smell the pungent smell in the sedan chair.

The bearers and the musicians seemed to have been startled by the firecrackers, and the sedan chair swayed to and fro. My body hit the left side all of a sudden, and then hit the right side heavily the next second.His head was shaken to a point where his eyes were full of stars.

There were chaotic shouts one after another outside the sedan chair, and suddenly the sound of firecrackers stopped, and the bearers also calmed down.

I let out a long sigh of relief, suppressing the nausea in my chest, my clothes and hijab all crooked.The buttocks are so painful from the whole grains.After thinking about it, I gently swept the things off the seat, and finally sat down much more comfortably.

Xu was afraid that Xi Niang would scold her, so Ruyi didn't dare to talk to me anymore, and there was only music around her.

I don't know how long it took, and the surroundings began to be noisy again.I remember that the house Yang Ziyu rented was in the suburbs, how could it be so noisy like a busy city?

He wanted to lift the curtain to see it, but he was afraid that Xi Niang would be angry if he saw it.So he sat patiently, thinking about asking Ruyi later.

After walking for a while, when the music stopped, the sedan chair also dropped down.

Xi Niang came to the sedan chair and said: "Bride, get off the sedan chair." I don't know if it was my illusion, but her voice seemed to be different from before.

Pressing the sedan chair, Xi Niang helped me out of the sedan chair.She led me up the steps without the groom kicking the sedan door or straddling the saddle.The door to enter is a bit small, not like the main entrance, but a side door.

After walking a few steps, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.Yang Ziyu agreed that the matchmaker is getting married, and now let me enter through the side door, what is the reason for this?
He stopped abruptly and turned to Xi Niang's side.

She was startled, and said, "What's the matter, girl?"

I ignored it, and Gu Zi called "Ruyi" a few times, but no one answered.

Is it...

She reached out and pulled off the hijab suddenly, and Xi Niang's face appeared in front of her eyes.I saw her before when I brought the dowry, but now the face in front of me is not the same as before.

"Who are you?!" I asked angrily, "Where is this? Where is Ruyi? What did you do to her?!"

Xi Niang was at a loss for what to do, seeing that I was angry, she was also a little scared.I looked around, the place I entered just now was indeed a side door, but now there are several servants standing there guarding it.

"Father"

Xi Niang called out suddenly.

With a jerk, he turned around abruptly, and the bead chain lightly hit his face while spinning, causing some pain.

The man who entered the sight was wearing a purple gold crown on his head and wearing a purple brocade robe. Standing there quietly, he was like a peerless painting.Tall and tall, his starry eyes are full of pride after the success of the plan.

"It's you?!" I heard my voice sound like a scream, and saw a fiery red reflection in his pupils.

Cheng Feng froze slightly, but immediately changed the corners of his lips to look at me triumphantly. "Yes, I was the one who robbed you."

I froze and couldn't speak.

After a while, all I could say was, "You're crazy."

After speaking, I turned around and left, but when the servant saw me rushing, he immediately closed the side door, and then blocked the door firmly.

I stopped walking, I was out of breath but calmed down, turned around and faced Cheng Feng coldly, "What do you want to do?"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "You offended me, so you just want to get away with it like this? You missed the appointment on Qixi Festival, which caused me..." He paused, and then said angrily, "I won't let you go easily!"

"Then what do you want?" I asked impatiently.He expended so much effort to capture me, maybe it was just to let me listen to his complaints.

He glanced at me disdainfully, "I can do anything to you, but I just want to teach you a lesson."

I was furious and looked at him in disbelief.The dignified third prince of Daye actually snatched his marriage for such a reason? !
I put my hands on my hips and said coldly: "Then someone has also snatched it, what are you going to do with it?"

Cheng Feng frowned slightly, and said in distress for a while: "I really didn't think about it."

calm!calm!I keep telling myself that if I make a move now, I won't get the slightest benefit.But his idiocy really made me intolerable.

The fake bride at the side probably couldn't stand it anymore, so she said: "Master, since the girl has also been snatched, according to this old slave, it's better to arrange her in the master's yard first. Wait for a while, grab her." We'll talk about it after the wedding turmoil is over."

After thinking for a while, Cheng Feng waved his hand: "Just do as you say. Mrs. Mo, Sister Huang has something to do with me, so I'll leave this girl to you." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away gracefully without even looking at me. up.

The fake bride called Mrs. Mo apologized with a smile and said, "Girl, come and change clothes with me now, this wedding dress is really eye-catching."

I figured that I wouldn't be able to escape, but after thinking about it, could it be that this was the turning point that the husband mentioned?
Thinking of it this way, the unhappiness in my heart also eased a lot.A little frost subsided on his face, and he squinted at Mrs. Mo, "Lead the way."

She laughed dryly and led me into the inner courtyard.I found a maid's clothes to change into for me, and then took me to the popular "Xiaoyuan".Along the way, Mrs. Mo got a lot of news out of her mouth.

The eldest princess Cheng Yue married Lang Sima Xi, the most talented scholar at that time, more than ten years ago. The husband and wife love each other and respect each other as guests.But within five years, Sima Caizi passed away due to the cold, and Cheng Yue never remarried, staying in the mansion shared by the two of them as a widow.This mansion is where I am now.The eldest princess allocated a place for Cheng Feng to live in, but he usually stays in the palace on weekdays, and it is rare for him to stay outside the palace.

Hearing this news, I immediately felt a lot more relaxed - if I were to face that face every day, I'm afraid I would be pissed off.

Because Chengfeng doesn't live there all the time, there are very few people in Xiaoyuan.Apart from me, there are only four maids and two servants who are responsible for the usual cleaning work.When they saw a newcomer coming to the garden, they were very curious for a moment. Since I stepped in the door, I don't know how many times I have been sneaked at.

Mrs. Mo took me straight to the master bedroom, and after entering the room, she pointed to the small bed separated by a screen and said to me, "You will sleep here from now on, so when the third prince sleeps here, you will also sleep here." Take care of him.” Then he said some precautions, and rushed out before I objected.

I looked helplessly at her disappearing back, unable to say a word.

After a while, he turned around slowly, walked behind the screen, straightened the bed, and lay down quietly on it.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and today I was frightened by Cheng Feng again. Now my mind is completely muddled, and I can't figure out a clue.Thinking that Cheng Feng would not come back, he relaxed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Maybe I was so tired that I had a good sleep in such a strange place.In the end, he woke up from hunger.

He rubbed his flat belly, thought for a while, put on his shoes and went out.I didn't know the way, I just remembered that Mrs. Mo said that there were four girls in the garden, so I went to the side room.

In Prince Yi's mansion, the lower-class maids live in a room with eight people, the middle-class maids live with two people, and the first-class maids can have their own room.

I reckon that the princess mansion should be similar to the setting of the king's mansion, and the maids should share a room with two people.Followed the old rules of the palace to look for it, and sure enough, I saw a room that was bright and majestic, with faint sounds of playfulness coming from it.

When I got closer, I found that their topic seemed to be me.

"Sister-in-law Mo brought it here in person, could it be her relative?" Maid A guessed.

"I don't know, but I guess they have some status." Maid B continued.

"Honestly, I see that girl looks really good-looking, I wish I could marry her as a wife!" It was a man's voice, probably one of the two servants.

His words drew ridicule from the crowd, mingled with his angry rebuttals.When the smile was almost over, Maid B said again: "The girl lived in the third prince's room as soon as she came, and she made it clear what her plan is. You don't even look at yourself, but a toad wants to eat swan meat!" After finishing speaking There was another burst of laughter.

I helplessly looked up at the sky, then looked down at the earth.It seems that if I really jumped into the Yellow River, I won't be able to cleanse myself.Tonight was supposed to be my wedding night, one of the beautiful things in life.But at this moment, I was wearing the clothes of a servant, standing in the courtyard with a hungry stomach, blowing the cold wind.Comparing the two - it's really a sky and an underground.

But in my heart, I was obviously a little happy, so I stopped resentment.He happily walked up the steps and knocked on the door lightly.

The room suddenly fell silent.

After a while, the door opened with a "squeak", revealing a young man's face.I smiled at him and said friendly, "I'm new here."
