Chapter 33

Tourmaline didn't speak, her body kneeling on the ground slowly tilted over, her hands resting on the ground, as if she was about to collapse at any moment.

How could she not understand what Jin Liu said, she knew very well that she was dying and she was not reconciled, so she still wanted to fight for herself, but now it seemed that she really had nowhere to go.

Tourmaline stared blankly at the smooth bluestone floor, thinking of the situation of the aunts in the mansion, her body trembled involuntarily, and a chill came from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing Tourmaline sitting on the ground lifelessly, Zhizi and Jiaqin couldn't bear it, and turned their eyes to Jinliu.

Jin Liu calmly picked up the tea bowl again, glared at the two of them, then sighed and said to the tourmaline: "You really are, I don't know how many people in this mansion want to be in my father's eyes, and my father still looks at it." No, you have this life but you don’t cherish it... Hey! Forget it, you go back quickly, I will think about your affairs, if there is a way to help you, I will definitely help you, but I don’t promise I can definitely help you!" Seeing Tourmaline suddenly raised her bright eyes to look at herself, Jin Liu hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, it is difficult for the servant to know about this. If the third lady can help the servant, the servant will be willing to be a horse for the third lady for the rest of her life!" Bixi said quickly, knelt up straight, and kowtowed respectfully to Jin Liu There were three beeps.

"Okay, you can go in quickly, if the eldest lady becomes suspicious, it will be bad for you and me." Jin Liu motioned for Zhizi to help Tourmaline up.

Tourmaline understood the power of it, got up and gave Jin Liu a grateful look, then turned and left the room.

"Miss, can you really help Sister Bixi?" Zhizi gave the tourmaline, turned around and came back and said, "Sister Bixi begged the maidservant when she left just now, and she must find a way to help her, the servant feels that Sister Bixi is very pitiful. "

"Yeah, seeing her crying like that, the slaves want to cry." Jiaqin took out the semi-old knee-length jacket that Jinliu wanted to change from the back room, and said while helping her take off the headdress on her head.

"You think she's pitiful too?" Jin Liu raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"That's natural." Jiaqin immediately replied, and felt that her answer was a bit inappropriate, and remembered what Jin Liu said to herself on the road when she just came back, and then continued: "Although we can serve the master, it is us It is an honor for these slaves, but the slaves say something that should not be said. Those aunts and housekeepers look more beautiful than the slaves in front of them, but the bitterness behind them is probably no less than that of the slaves. The slaves can still redeem themselves In the future, she will marry a wealthy family, and she will also be the mistress of the house. Even those who have children from the family and cannot marry outside, find a capable boy in the mansion to match, isn't there someone who knows the cold and the hot? So slaves I have the same idea as Sister Bixi, I would rather marry a boy in the house than serve the master."

Jin Liu heard the interest, and looked back at Jiaqin, "According to what you say, then no one is willing to serve the master?" The smoother you speak, the more you speak.

"Biqiao?" Jin Liu thought for a while, "I vaguely remember that there is such a person next to Da Furen, who looks pretty good."

Jiaqin curled her lips when she heard the words, and said: "Biqiao takes advantage of her beauty, and every time the master goes to the lady's place, she always rushes forward. For this, Zhou's mother doesn't know how many times she has been trained. .”

"There's still such a thing." Jin Liu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scene of the little loli seducing the perverted uncle. Isn't this a hit-and-miss?Rubbing the goosebumps on her body, Jin Liu got up and put on a long jacket, "It's alright, alright, don't let people hear that I'm arranging for the elders! Let me get some water to freshen up."

"Then what happened to Sister Tourmaline?" Zhizi asked unwillingly.

Jin Liu frowned, stretched out his hand and poked her on the head, pretending to be fierce, and said, "Why are you so anxious, didn't I tell you that you can help me? Didn't you want me to think about it now?" Come up with a way! I can't think of it now, I want to wash up and go to bed, will you let me sleep?"

"Let..." Does she dare to say no?Zhizi held her mouth and said, looked at Jinliu sadly, turned around and went out to get water.

Jiaqin turned around and was about to go out, but Jinliu called her back, "You can sleep in my room today and talk to me."

Jiaqin paused as she walked out, turned around and looked at Jinliu, only to see that she had already entered the room, she felt puzzled, Miss San never liked someone keeping watch at night, she was clearly tired of talking today, but let her talk with her , suddenly felt that Jin Liu must have something to ask her, she made up her mind and hurriedly agreed, and followed her in to prepare the bed.

Jin Liu was going to wash up and go to bed, but there was a visitor from Da Furen's side.

"Why are you here at this hour? It's midnight, and my uncle didn't come with you?" The eldest lady just finished washing, wearing a half-worn lotus pattern half-arm-length padded jacket and sitting in the autumn fragrance golden bat pattern On the soft couch, seeing the eldest lady Jin Tongxi coming in with a cold air, she half sat up and asked.

"Miss." Zhou's mother, who was sitting on a low chair next to the soft couch, quickly pulled the blanket covering her lap and stood up to salute.

"Mother Zhou." Jin Tongxi untied the lake blue velvet cloak on her body and helped Mother Zhou, then handed over the cloak in her hand to her outstretched hand, sat down on the soft couch, and then said : "One person manages such a big house, and he is too busy with big and small things during the day, and only now has time to come here. My husband is busy with business and is still in the yamen. I came here by myself." .”

"Although you are young, but you are still in the Yamen at this hour, you should pay more attention to my uncle." The eldest lady straightened up, and slowly leaned on the ginger-yellow orchid grass pillow stuffed by the tourmaline behind her, "You come here at this hour , but something is wrong? I heard the maid said how many boxes did you bring?"

"Those are all for the third younger sister... I'm thirsty!" Jin Tongxi took the tea bowl from the servant girl's hand after saying a word, blew and took a sip.

"For her?" Da Furen was very surprised, she looked up and saw Tourmaline coming in, and then remembered that tomorrow is Jin Liu's birthday, and said with a smile: "It's just a small birthday, it's worth your haste to send a congratulatory gift, I see that you don't care so much about your fifth younger sister, why do you care about her now?"

"Mom!" Jin Tongxi called out unconvinced, "What you said is not fair. On my fifth sister's birthday, I didn't send a whole truckload of good things to her. When did I lose her money?" !"

The eldest lady stopped talking when she heard the words, and her face sank. Zhou's mother hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her to make peace, but Jin Tongxi waved her hand, pushed the eldest lady with a calm face, and said with a smile: "Mother , I’m really annoyed, I’m sending things to my third sister, isn’t it also for your own good?”

"For my own good?" The eldest lady obviously didn't believe it, and snorted heavily.

"Look, I knew you would be like this." Jin Tongxi said not at all surprised: "Mother, don't forget, the third younger sister is not the little girl who lived in the West Side Courtyard before. The life of the Sixth Young Master of the General's Mansion!"

"so what!"

"Don't mother know that Bai Xiaoliu is the lifeblood of the old lady of the Bai family, and Bai Xiaoliu is the brother of the third young master of the Bai family, and the uncle of Princess Bi Ning. The third sister saved Bai Xiaoliu, so it is equal to Bai Xiaoliu. The old lady of the family, the master of Bining County, and even the Bai family are involved." Jin Tongxi said as he glanced at the eldest lady, and seeing that she still didn't care, her tone became urgent, "Mother think about it, the capital is full of people. As long as it is a famous family, the ladies and young masters of each family, no matter if it is a big or small birthday, even if there is no banquet for the guests, the family should sit together and have a lively meal, which is a bit interesting It's very common to invite a little fairy troupe to sing a song or something. Let's say my fifth sister, it's her birthday that she doesn't want to invite someone she likes and work overtime to sing for a whole day, but three Where's my sister? Don't let my daughter talk, I'm afraid Mother never even thought about holding a birthday banquet for her!"

"I..." The lady wanted to defend herself, but she was speechless when she just opened her mouth. She glanced at Jin Tongxi and turned her head. To mother and daughter?As long as the lady thinks about it, she feels panicked.

Jin Tongxi glanced at the eldest lady, and then said: "I know what mother is thinking. The third sister is not your own. Naturally, there is a difference between her and the fifth sister, but my daughter said something that mother doesn't like to hear. The status of the third sister is no lower than that of the fifth sister!"

"You... why are you talking about this for no reason!" The eldest lady became even more unhappy after hearing Jin Tongxi's words, and turned her head to stare at her and said in a cold voice.

Jin Tongxi was not afraid, and said: "I want to remind mother, it's not that the Bai family doesn't know the identity of the third younger sister, if mother treats the third younger sister well, the members of the Bai family will think you are generous, and while admiring you, don't be afraid. Do you also look up to my fifth sister...Didn't mother always want Bai Xiaoliu to be my fifth sister-in-law? So this time, we can't lose third sister regardless of face or face."

"I don't care about marrying the Bai family!" The eldest lady said with her lips curled up, but she kept thinking about what Jin Tongxi said.

It is impossible for the doctor to say that it is not rare. The Bai family is the number one general in the Qin Dynasty. Counting from the old man Bai, there have been five generals. In addition, the Bai family also married a daughter-in-law of the daughter-in-law of the princess, who gave birth to a concubine Rong who is the favorite concubine of the current emperor.

How could Da Furen look down on such a family?Jin Tongxi smiled, and didn't expose the madam's strong face, she stood up and said, "Anyway, I've finished talking, what should I do, my mother naturally knows, and there is another sentence, Princess Bi Ning's temper is on my mother's lips." I've seen you again, people who come straight to the point don't give face to anyone, but Concubine Rong and the old lady of the Bai family love her the most, so mother can figure out how to entertain her, she will definitely come tomorrow, that's all right , it's getting late, then I won't disturb my mother's rest, I'll go back."

When the lady remembered what Bi Ning had ignored last time, she lost interest, nodded, and said angrily: "You really should go back, so I won't let me see you making trouble, don't worry, you bring I will send those things to Jinliu."

When Jin Tongxi heard the words, she turned her head and looked at the eldest lady in surprise.

"What are you looking at, do you think I don't know what's going on in your heart? The Bai family is in full swing now, and it's not just your official minister's family who want to get in touch with their family." The eldest lady glanced at Jin Tongxi and said.

Jin Tongxi didn't refute, and laughed out loud. Seeing this, the eldest lady glared at her, and the anger on her face disappeared a lot. Just as she was thinking about whether she should be escorted back, she came to the door to say Master is back.
