Beautiful step by step

Chapter 3

The bright moon was in the sky, and Wei Wei sat in the post room, looking at herself in the bronze mirror by the moonlight.

Even if the face in the bronze mirror is vague and unreal, it doesn't affect her amazement at the moment.With moth-like eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes and a crooked silkworm, a small nose with a straight nose bridge, two rows of neat white teeth inside pink lips, and fair skin that is so tender that it almost oozes water, this face can be called a 360-degree face without dead ends.

No makeup, no styling, no photo editing, just plain face, this face is no worse than those stars seen before time travel.There was a numb itching in her chest, Wei Wei lowered her head, staring at the almost invisible protruding flower buds wrapped in her robe.This body was obviously young and not yet fully developed, so it was attacked by the master of a wealthy family.Cursing a beast, looking at the trace of childishness remaining between the beauty's brows in the mirror, she couldn't help but imagine how thrilling it would be in a few years before it was fully grown and already so bright and charming.

Earned!
Excited in her heart, if she didn't pay attention, she sat down firmly, the weight of the whole body pressed up, and the sharp pain made her bounce up.

Looking at the beauty in the mirror, even though her teeth are grinning, she still looks beautiful, and Wei Wei's unwillingness to cross time completely dissipated in her heart.

In her previous life, she owned a family business, was not short of money, and was willing to spend money to dress herself up.Shopping for clothes, beautifying the body, and doing styling, she is good at everything, but she has limited natural conditions, no matter how hard she is, most people will say "Mr. Wei has a really good temperament" when they see her.Over time, every time she was praised, she would have a toothache.

Well now, she has such an impeccable face.

Smiling in the mirror, the more she looked at this face, the happier she became, and even the pain in her body eased a lot.

After the nympho was done, she picked up the purse in front of the mirror.This is the disgusting thing when she was in Yaxing, she put it in her bosom when she came to the inn with the brothers from the Yan family.One was pestered by the little guy to ask things, and she didn't have a chance to bring it out until she was alone now.

The purse is very delicately embroidered, and the mouth is drawn with a colored rope. After being pulled apart, it is divided into two layers, and each layer contains a stacked paper.Wei Wei took out the paper, the blood on it was already half dry, and carefully unfolded the first paper.

This is a piece of rice paper, the paper is white and thin, much better than the paper used in the Yaxing Deed.There are only two lines on the paper, and the handwriting is a bit hasty.

"Hong Ling, the past and the past are clouds and smoke, don't read the Marquis Mansion. Wait for the rescuers, and keep the money in case of emergencies."

It turned out that the original owner's name was Hong Ling, and she was a maid in a marquis' mansion in the capital.As for the other piece of paper, Wei Wei opened it, and it turned out to be a bank note.After seeing the number above, she couldn't help being surprised that the Hou Mansion actually gave the original owner 500 taels!

On the way to the post station just now, the little guy only spent a penny to buy a candied haws.One tael of silver can be exchanged for ten taels of money, and one tael of money is one thousand Wen. Roughly speaking, 500 taels is definitely a huge sum.

She has made a lot of money, and the original owner is not only good-looking, but also wealthy, a true goddess in her previous life.

After getting excited, Wei Wei calmed down. It's not that she has never seen money, and she also understands the thinking of rich people very well.Rich people don't fly planes and throw money all over the world, let alone send out such a large amount of silver taels for no reason.Now she can finally be sure that what the prostitute said was not true, and the original owner was framed.Then how much wronged did the original owner suffer to make the Hou Mansion pay such a large sum of money?

Also, should I wait for someone to rescue her now?Staring at the note, she was in a dilemma. After some time, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"it's me."

The slightly hoarse voice of the boy who was still in the voice-changing period came, Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief, put away his things, and walked to the door in two steps.

"It's so late, my lord... what is Ah Heng's order?"

On the way to the inn, she knew the names of the two brothers.The boy's name is Yan Heng, he is sixteen years old, and he is the leader of the Liangzhou Guards.The little guy's name is Yan Yun. He has just turned four years old. He is an out-and-out face control person. He has a lively personality and treats her extremely affectionately.A month ago, the northwest garrison defeated the Oirat army, and Yan Heng went to Beijing with the army to offer prisoners, and brought his younger brother along.Due to urgent calls from home, the brothers returned early.After figuring it out, she originally wanted to call the young adult, but the little guy refused to agree.In the end, with the tacit consent of the young man, she followed the little guy and called the two of them A Heng and A Yun.

There was silence outside the door, with the intermittent chirping of crickets.Is he gone?After hesitating for a moment, Wei Wei pulled down the latch.As soon as the door was opened, a gust of hot air rushed in.Outside the threshold, a boy who was a head taller than her was carrying buckets, one bucket was steaming and the other bucket was cold water.

"You are this?"

"Ayun is worried about you, so he pestered me to boil some hot water and bring it to you."

"Excuse me, please come in."

Wei Wei opened the door to the widest side and watched the young man step over the threshold and put the bucket behind the screen.He still has the thin body of a young man, his arms don't look much thicker than hers, but he walks like flying with two heavy wooden barrels, and he walks freely in the narrow guest room.She was dazed for a while, he had already put the wooden basin and screen back, and went back to the door to untie his burden.

"This is what Ah Yun asked Madam Yi Cheng to ask for. You can wash it. Leave the bucket there. Tomorrow... I will clean it up."

The last four words were almost inaudible, and after he finished speaking, he stuffed them into her arms like an awl in his bag, and went into another wing not far away without looking back.

Holding the bundle with one hand, Wei Wei touched her face.How scary is she?Yan Xiaoqi, who was so frightened and killed the Wala people, walked with the same hands and feet.

After locking the door, she opened the bundle. Inside the boxy brown linen bundle was a brand-new jade-red dress, with a moon-white undershirt and trousers underneath.Unlike the linen dress, the middle coat is made of cotton, but there are many bumps on the cotton cloth, and the texture is a little rough.

Shaking off the coat, two pieces of light yellow cloth fell out.Picking it up, Wei Wei blushed like blood after finding out what the strange-shaped thing was.This... Ah Yun, a four-year-old little Douding, would ask for a tube top with the female family members of Yi Cheng's family?I'm afraid he doesn't even know what a tube top is.

After the initial embarrassment, she picked up the last item in the bundle.The porcelain bottle was opened, and the smell of medicine came to the face.Look at the label on the cork, it's the gold sore medicine used in the military.Holding the medicine bottle, Wei Wei curled up her lips, feeling warm in her heart, no one cared about her so much for many years.

Little by little, she took off her clothes, a silk robe woven with dark patterns, a fine cotton jacket, and a finely embroidered tube top.Even if it was stained with blood, the clothes on Hong Ling's body were better than Mrs. Yi Cheng's.A single hem of the silk robe with dark patterns is worth more than Mrs. Yicheng's whole suit when it is removed.If the maid in the house is so extravagant, how precious is the master of the Hou Mansion?

Wipe the body with a wet towel, the blood and sweat stains are peeled off the body, and the warm and moist feeling surrounds the whole body.After tossing and tossing for a long time, when the water cooled down, she finally washed her whole body from hair to toes.What surprised her even more was that after applying the golden sore medicine, she looked terrified, but in fact she was only slightly scratched and the wound was probably healed by [-]% or [-]%.

Her body felt more comfortable, and even her thoughts became clearer.The Hou Mansion is powerful, and the capital is definitely not a place to live for a long time.No matter how much injustice Hong Ling has suffered, in her current capacity, seeking revenge is tantamount to being a car with the arms of a mantis.The most important point is that she is not the original owner, so there is no need to wait for the person in the letter to find her, and then carry on living under Hong Ling's name and imitating Hong Ling's character.She is Wei Wei, she has her own personality and principles, and she will live in her own way.

The belt is fastened, and the wet hair is scattered on the shoulders.Opening the door, one big and one small two were facing her, squatting by the well with their backs to her.Hearing the sound of the door, the little guy tilted his head back, saw her, got up and rushed towards her like a small cannonball.

"Sister Ah Mou."

Holding the little guy who was hit to the waist in his arms, Wei Wei nodded his little nose: "It's so late, why is Ah Yun still awake?"

"Well, my brother and I washed the clothes, so that we can change on the way tomorrow. It seems that Sister Ah Mao didn't bring any clothes, and my brother just asked the post..."

"Ayun!"

Wei Wei pursed his lips when the young man yelled in embarrassment, he was really an awkward child.He took the little guy and walked forward, and sure enough, the tub was full of the brothers' clothes.Although most of them are new and not old, they are very tidy, at least there are no unseemly lumpy socks that stink to death.

Rolling up her sleeves, she squatted down: "Ah Heng has been busy all day, he must be tired. A Yun is still young, and it is also the age that should sleep more. You go to rest first, I will take care of these things."

While speaking, she stretched out her hand to reach into the tub.In her previous life, she traveled around the world with tour groups when she was free, and doing laundry was no problem at all.But before she touched her hand, the boy dragged the tub aside and refused coldly.

"Need not."

Wei Wei was surprised, knowing that she heard the little guy's chirping explanation: "Sister Ah Mao, you are so kind, and you also help my brother and I wash the clothes. But it's really unnecessary. When we were in Jiuquan County, we always washed our clothes by ourselves."

"A Yun also washes himself?" He is only four years old!
"Well, my mother has to take care of my eldest sister and third brother, so I don't have the energy to take care of us. When I was young, my brother helped me wash, but last year he went to join the army, so I did my own laundry."

Last year he was only three years old... Wei Wei felt a little unbelievable, this is not her previous life, there is a washing machine, dirty clothes can be thrown in and pressed a few times.Such a young child still has soft fingers, how can he do this kind of work.

"Then Ah Yun's big sister and third brother also do their own laundry?"

The little guy shook his head: "The eldest sister and the third brother are mother's children, but my brother and I are not. Mother has to take care of them first."

It turned out to be the stepmother, so no wonder.Wei Wei suddenly realized, and suddenly there was a dangerous aura around him.Turning his head, he saw that the young man by the tub was pulling his clothes, his face sinking like water.On the way to the inn just now, when he mentioned returning home early, he also reacted in the same way.

Sensing her gaze, the boy put down his clothes.

"The water in your room is cold, I'll pour it out."
