Rebirth of Yijia

Chapter 4

"Auntie, my eldest aunt told me today that you are helping me to see people, and one of them is the second young master from the Anping Hou family, isn't it?"

Yijia thought for a long time, but decided to open up the conversation with Xiao Song.Although it's a bit out of line for a girl's family to ask about her own marriage, but she is not a real 12-year-old girl, and her relationship with Xiao Song is not a mother and daughter. A lot of trouble.

"Jia'er!" Xiao Song felt that Yijia was out of line, but because of her status and the relationship between the two of them, she couldn't say the words of reprimand when they came to her lips.

Yijia looked at Xiao Song solemnly, "Auntie, don't be surprised, I know that as a girl, I shouldn't ask too much about this, I have you and my father to help me watch it. But in the end, this is related to my life If my aunt doesn't tell me clearly about the matter, I won't be able to settle down. Besides, I don't want to marry into a noble family, you know my temperament, I will definitely not be able to live like that OK."

"I know, I know." Yijia's frankness moved Xiao Song a little, saying that the girl's family should not ask, but if it is the biological mother and daughter, there is nothing to say.Yijia is now willing to be honest with herself, which means that in her heart, she still trusts her aunt.

After thinking about this, Xiao Song said almost excitedly: "I am helping you to see people, but most of them are the sons of the same age as your father, and I didn't say anything about the sons of the Anping Hou family. Moreover, the Anping Hou family The second young master from a concubine, because of Uncle Liang's poor health, was recorded in the name of the former wife of Anping Hou three years ago, and now he has already been raised as a son-in-law. not on."

"What?!" It took Yijia a long time to realize that Liang Mingxuan actually remembered the name of Anping Hou Yuanfang?Thinking of Xiao Song's tone again, Uncle Liang should be referring to Liang Mingzhi, but why would she use such an affectionate address?
Yijia asked tentatively, "Auntie, is our family familiar with Mr. Liang?"

Xiao Song said with a smile: "Of course we are acquainted. Uncle Liang and your father are close friends, and they often come to our house as guests. Have you forgotten that you have many good things here that were sent by Uncle Liang Well, even your babu bed, the gauze curtains on it, and the whole set of furniture are all bought by your father who loves you so much and specially asked Uncle Liang to help you. He watched you grow up Elder!" The more Xiao Song talked, the more she found Ran's amused, and she actually came up with this method to drive a wedge between her and Yijia, "Your aunt is also confused, and she made up random arrangements, so she called Uncle Liang at you , you and the second young master of the Liang family are impossible, there is no reason to call your niece a sister-in-law!"

Liang Mingzhi is a close friend of his father.

I want to call Liang Mingzhi Uncle Shi.

And he was not only an elder who watched him grow up, but also gave himself a lot of things.Although she didn't know what it was, looking at the bed, the gauze curtain, the wardrobe and the desk, Yijia felt uncomfortable all over.

What exactly is going on?

Yijia was stunned, and she didn't listen to what Xiao Song said later, and she didn't know when to send Xiao Song away, as if there was a ball of paste in her mind, she waited until dinner in a daze hour.

In the past, Yijia usually ate three meals a day in her own room, and occasionally went to Dongfu Ran's to eat, but she almost never shared the same table with Xiao Song and her sister, at most it was with her father and grandmother. On birthdays, or during Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, the whole family will sit at the same table when they go to Dongfu for dinner.

Because she was not in good health these few days, the meals sent by the kitchen were mainly light, but Yijia didn't have the heart to eat, and she didn't use up half of the bowl of vegetable porridge, so Yijia put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing that she only used this little amount, Bai Lu couldn't help worrying: "Second Miss, you are not in good health yet, so use more."

Yijia shook her head, leaning against the chair with a sleepy expression, and stared in a daze.She racked her brains over what she knew about Liang Mingzhi from Mrs. Song's mouth, but she couldn't remember anything.The self in this world seems to have lost all memory of Liang Mingzhi.

Bai Lu didn't know what to do, and looked at Qiu Shuang on the other side as if asking for help, but Qiu Shuang was staring at the ground, as if thinking about something, and didn't notice Bai Lu's eyes at all.

After Bai Lu and the little maid took the things off the table, Qiu Shuang raised her head and said, "Second Miss can't eat because she hasn't figured out what to do with Bai Lu?"

Yijia looked at her in surprise, and Qiushuang continued: "It stands to reason that even if Bai Lu told his wife what happened in your house, it would not be a big deal. It's just that the wife is not the biological mother of the second lady, and she is raising the third lady. What exactly is the plan of the head, the lady has to be on guard. Another thing that the eldest lady told the lady today, your daughter of a dignified fourth-rank family is actually said to be a concubine, don't talk about you, miss Well, even those of us serving servants feel very humiliated, so it's better for the miss to make plans early."

Qiushuang used to say this kind of thing in the past, and she said it very smoothly today. After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Yijia, waiting for her to nod her approval.

Yijia was full of anger, not all because of Ran's and Qiushuang, but because of her confusion in the past, and because of Xiao Song's lack of means.There is such an outspoken girl in front of her stepdaughter, doesn't she know how to deal with it?

"What do you think I should do?" Yijia stared straight at Qiushuang.

The Second Miss didn't nod her head in agreement, but instead asked her own opinion. Thinking of the cowardice and incompetence of the Second Miss in the past, Qiu Shuang sneered disdainfully in her heart.Opening her mouth, she said, "Bai Lu betrayed her master and sent a message in private that the young lady should drag her down to beat the top ten boards, and then ask her old lady to take her away. How can such a girl be worthy of serving in front of the young lady! As for your marriage As for the problem, the young lady needs to make up her own mind, or she can discuss it with Mrs. Dongfu."

Bai Lu just walked to the door, her calves trembled when she heard this, and she fell on the threshold, she didn't care about the pain, she cried and begged for mercy, "Second miss, slave... slave didn't betray you, you... Don't listen to Qiushuang's nonsense."

Yijia opened her mouth wide in surprise, this Qiushuang really dares to say it!
In her previous life, whether she was in Dongfu or married into the Liang family, she had never seen a maid like Qiushuang.Criticizing the mistress, talking about the young lady's marriage, and even talking about how to punish a maid like her in front of the young lady, which servant of this family has the courage?

Only her Zhou family, the maids around Zhou Yijia dare!
It's just that Xiao Song can tolerate it, and the former self can tolerate it, but the current self will not bear it any longer.Big aunt, no matter how long my big aunt's hands are, if I don't want to let her take care of her, what can she do?
"Yes, it should be dragged down to lay ten big boards." Yijia's voice was cool, and his eyes looked outside the door.

Bai Lu exclaimed, "Second Miss!", while Qiu Shuang showed her color.

Yijia added: "Bai Lu, what are you still kneeling for? Why don't you go to the yard and find two rough envoys, so that Qiu Shuang can go out to beat the board! By the way, just play in the yard, I want to see Go!"

The two maids were stunned.

Qiu Shuang's face was full of anger in an instant, "Second Miss! What are you talking about!" With the support of the eldest wife behind her, Qiu Shuang only had anger in her heart, but no fear. "If you let the eldest lady know that you are..."

Yi Jia interrupted her, "What does Auntie know? I punish the girl next to me, do I still need to ask Auntie for instructions?" Then she reprimanded Bai Lu with a cold face, "What are you still doing in a daze! Or do you want to replace her?! "

"Yes yes yes..." Bai Lu got up quickly and rushed out.

At this time, Qiushuang's face showed a trace of fear, but she still held on, looking at Yijia in disbelief, "Second Miss, what's wrong with me, you, you want to hit me?"

Yijia glanced at her, and didn't even bother to talk to her.

Bai Lu quickly brought two women who were tall and rough, and the two stood by the door, one on the left and one on the right, asking for Yi Jia's instructions, "What is the second lady calling the slaves over for?"

Of course Bai Lu told them what to do, but Qiu Shuang was the most embarrassing girl around Second Miss, so they didn't dare to do anything unless they asked clearly.

Yijia said: "Pull Qiushuang down to hit the top ten boards. If someone asks why, they will say that she broke my most cherished jade bracelet. Not only did she not admit her mistake, she also framed Bailu, so I gave her a lesson in a fit of anger. "

She is the master, so she can say whatever she wants, even if the two women know it is wrong, they dare not say too much.

If Qiushuang gains power again, it is because Yijia was willing to give her face in the past, but now she is not willing. No one in Erfang is afraid of her.Even if she was given by the eldest wife, but now the second master's official position is higher than that of the elder master. For a girl, the eldest wife can't do anything to them.

Qiushuang still wanted to talk, but Yijia gave her a wink, and one of the women was so happy that she took out the handkerchief she used to wipe sweat while working, and stuffed it into Qiushuang's mouth in a ball.

Not long after, the sound of planks sounded one after another in the yard.

In the past, Qiushuang relied on the power of the eldest wife and Yijia to control the two wives, so although the two wives were not beaten to death, they did not show any mercy in their hands. Ten boards down, Qiushuang I don't even have the energy to speak.He just lay on the bench and wept bitterly.

Yi Jia asked someone to help her down, then turned around and told Bai Lu, "Go to your wife and tell your wife what happened today, just tell the truth. Another one, help me to ask when my father will come back. This time I said I went to Xishan to listen to scriptures, did I go with Liang Ming... Uncle Shi?"
