Concubine Tang through space

Chapter 40

Withdrawing from the room, Gao Yao lowered her arms and clenched her fists in her sleeves, resisting letting the fire in her heart leak to her face, she straightened her body, lifted her feet, and walked out with unhurried and very regular steps. In the courtyard, she deliberated several times about the content she had met and tested with Xiaoyan. Seeing that she had reached a relatively secluded and spacious place, she glanced at Xu Niang, who followed her step by step, and stopped to walk towards the place where the candle was extinguished. The little servant girl with the lantern waved her hand to signal her to go away. After the little servant girl tactfully retreated to a place where she could not hear her voice clearly, she turned to face Xu Niang, raised her hands and put Folding the cool hands on the sleeves of the abdomen to warm up, he said, "Xu Niang, let me ask, who told her what the third lady knew today?"

Xu Niang groaned for a while when she heard the words, and said, "It's the servant girl and Hongjin." The four first-class servants around Yan Ruren were all brought in from Yan's mansion, except for Liang Niang, the other woman had already entered Yanru's house. In the first year of the mansion, she was killed by the princess stick for violating the rules of the palace. After that, the Yanru people did not promote the first-class women. The two first-class maids were Hong Ting and Hong Jin. Growing up and receiving more attention, Hong Jin seems to be less scheming and not very good at flattering people and not getting the attention of Yanru people. Now it seems that it is a blessing rather than a disaster.

At the beginning, she was sent by Yanru people to Song Yu, and an accident caused Song Yu to be stabbed to death by Yan Yu, a lunatic. Yan Ruren, two influential subordinates, didn't give her any face, and punished her for 30 boards in public. She was almost 27 years old, and her energy and body were not as good as before. She thought that after [-] boards, she would definitely go to accompany Song I'm sorry, and I have some resentment in my heart, but she doesn't even have the qualifications to resist Yan Ruren, so she can only bear it. Fortunately, at that time, Gao Mi secretly bought one of the two eunuchs with sticks, so that his strikes seemed to be serious but actually were lighter. She narrowly escaped death, but because she was old and her injuries were slow to recover, she had to lie in bed for [-] to [-] days before she could barely get off the ground. On the first day she went to serve Yan Ruren, she saw her hair was half white, her face was crazy, and her skin was withered like an old man. The ordinary Yanru people were really startled, and they were quite afraid of facing such a strange Yanru person, but Yanru people could not even speak clearly at that time, and died within two days.

Afterwards, the concubine buried Yan Ruren according to the etiquette of the Ruren. She was flustered for a while, but before she could figure out her own way out, she learned from some sources that the housekeeper had put her on the list of sending her out of the house. This is the punishment for the princess who knew her actions in the Su Ruren incident. She understands that she must return to the Yan family after leaving the palace. As a third-class woman, she didn't want to have to wear shabby clothes made of coarse linen to eat, drink, suffer from anger and burden, so she used the little relationship she held in her hand to spread some money and find an opportunity to beg for it at that time. The only person in the mansion who could help her, Gao Wei, gave Gao Wei 150 taels of silver before asking Gao Wei to go to the big housekeeper and ask her to stay in the mansion and continue to be a second-class woman, temporarily taking care of some small things in the big kitchen.

Half a month later, the day after Xiaoyan entered the mansion, she and Hongjin were recruited to her side, and they also got their contracts of sale, but the second-class woman and second-class maid beside Xiaoyan had no quotas. When it was full, she and Hong Jin were forced to downgrade from second-class women to third-class women, and first-class maids to third-class maids respectively. But her status was lowered by a whole level, and she felt uncomfortable. However, as a slave, she was not qualified to resist any order of Yan Ruren, nor was she qualified to have a relationship with Xiao Yan, so when Xiao Yan asked her, all except Gao She didn't say anything about how he secretly helped her twice, and she told the rest in detail no matter who it was about.

Gao Nai nodded, got the answer, turned around and continued to walk towards the place where she lived, and said as she walked, "Xu Niang, I am not qualified to ask you to be loyal to me, but I think you have a deep understanding of some things, Su Ruren's matter, If you have someone who has something to do with it, you can check it out, but don't involve me, and you can report to the third lady if you find anything, and I don't care if you mention it or not." She could vaguely guess what the third lady was thinking. Sixty to seventy percent, the biggest possibility is nothing more than pushing her out to shelter her from the wind and rain. This is exactly what she did to Yan Yu before. You are ordered, so you can only try your best to push out a shield.

As a result, Yan Wei died a miserable death.

Xiaoyan wants her to be a shield, absolutely impossible!
Xu Niang pondered Gao Yu's meaning, and understood that Gao Yu didn't want to get too involved in Su Ruren's affairs, and she also knew that she had to show some sincerity this time to repay Gao Yu's two helpings, otherwise she would be in trouble next time. I'm afraid it's impossible to let Gao Yu take action again after spending all her money. No one will help a person who will not be grateful indefinitely. No matter how valuable this person is, as for Xiaoyan, she doesn't count on it at all, and Not to mention that Xiaoyan looked at Wen Shanshi with a lot of eyes, she was not a person who would trust people easily, and naturally she would not believe that she, a servant who had been in the palace for nearly four years, would be loyal. Her attitude has not changed from being a girl to being a concubine. She says she can't act, but she has already done too much. In other words, it can be said that Xiaoyan is not cautious enough. Based on her experience over the years, With such a master, the future is too small, so you have to make plans early. "Your servant knows what to do. Don't worry, the people I can use are from the third lady's side. Even if my servant is with you, these things will not have anything to do with you." Without using your own contacts, Naturally, she doesn't have much to do with herself, so it's best if she doesn't offend Su Ruren, if she accidentally makes Su Ruren feel bad, she will only target the third lady.

The closer the Chinese New Year comes, the busier Li Shimin and the Changsun family are. On the contrary, the concubines in the mansion are very leisurely before and after the Chinese New Year. For the prince's sake, as long as they don't have mental problems or are different from the Changsun family Yes, at this time, they will take back their paws and take good care of them, and they will not mess around with anything and make trouble for Mrs. Changsun.

Therefore, since Su Lin gave the prescription to Li Shimin that time, she has been clean for a few days. Without Li Shimin, she didn't have to throw Qianxi into the Hunyuan space, and the conflict with Qianxi was temporarily eased.

This day is December 12, and seeing that tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, Su Lin personally put on Li Kuan a splendid red padded jacket and a fluffy fur-brimmed hat, teasing Li Kuan, who can't speak clearly but has already learned how to speak, and said, " Liang', at the same time asked Lianniang about the distribution of red envelopes and new clothes to the servants of Qiyuan. Lianniang was organizing the words and hadn't returned. Just now I came to report that Yu Niang was looking for you at the gate of the mansion."

Yu Niang?Su Lin was stunned when she heard the name. Since the matter of the flamingo rash was superficially resolved and she sent Yu Niang back to Su's residence, she never inquired about Yu Niang again. Naturally, no one mentioned Yu Niang in front of her. , I haven't heard this name for several months, but it's almost the Chinese New Year, and Yu Niang is not in the Su Mansion to pack up and prepare for the New Year, so why come to her?Could it be that something happened to the Su mansion?Thinking of her handing the jade badge around her waist to Lianniang, she ignored the report and said, "Go, take her to the hall."

Lianniang knelt down and took the jade token to the servant girl. The little servant girl left the room after saluting, and led Yu Niang to the hall of Qi Yuan after a while.

Su Lin asked Wu Niang to take good care of Li Kuan, and took Lianniang's servant girl to the hall to sit on the head of the warm couch. Seeing Yu Niang felt a strange feeling in her heart, she frowned unconsciously. In her impression, Yu Niang is a gentle woman, she is smart but has little scheming, she occasionally reveals a little foolishness and innocence, her expression and temperament are always relatively sunny, but the woman in front of her who calls herself Yu Niang has a terrific appearance. Ji even wore the same clothes as Yu Niang who used to be in the Su Mansion, but her demeanor was obviously heavy and dull, and the sharpness in her eyes was never seen in Yu Niang who used to be.

Perceiving and thinking about it carefully, Su Lin remembered that she had seen the aura of this woman in front of some soldiers in the Xuanjia Army barracks. The darkness, coupled with the fact that the third-rate martial artist can slightly exude a little aura, makes the whole person look gloomy compared with ordinary people. She can't mistake the light that belongs to the martial artist in the eyes of the women in front of her, and she has just arrived in this world. At that time, Yu Niang was one of the few people who had tested her internal strength, so she naturally knew that Yu Niang did not know martial arts.

The maids who didn't understand martial arts, including Lianniang, were screened out. When Su Lin was left with her and Yuniang alone in the room, she quietly put a few embroidery needles between her hands and asked, "Who are you?" ?”

'Yu Niang', who was also watching Su Lin, smiled when she heard the words, bowed her knees and said: "The servant has seen the young master, and the young master has grown up just as the servant's sister said." After a pause, she confessed: "The slave girl, Qiongniang, and Yu Niang are twin sisters. They used to be servants of the Su family. The servant was separated from her parents and Yu Niang, and was kidnapped to the north and sold to the Turkic people as a slave girl. Later, the Turkic tribe was defeated by the Sui army, and all the nobles in the tribe fled for their lives. The servant Mingda met the master, who is your father , was taken back to Madam by the master, but the servant has been working for Madam secretly, and she never showed her face before you sent Yu Niang back to the Su residence." So it is normal that the young master does not know her, of course she is not around most of the time Su Mansion and because Madam didn't let her get in touch with the young master, she didn't know the young master very well.

Su Lin was noncommittal, she remembered what her mother-in-law told her about the Su family, she knew that the Su family was once rich and then lost, and then got up again with the efforts of her predecessor's father, Su Hai. "Where's Yu Niang?"

"She has been sent to Mount Liupan." Qiong Niang was silent for a while, and said: "Young master, this servant is here on Madam's order to ask you to go back to the Su Mansion. Regarding the matter of Mount Liupan, this servant wants Madam to come. Let me tell you, it must be more detailed than what the servant told you, and Madam asked the servant to bring you a sentence, you may want to know the reason why you came here." She didn't understand this sentence very well, young master Of course, the purpose of the palace is to get a higher status, a stronger backing, and a better life. What other reasons are there?
When Su Lin heard the last sentence, she narrowed her eyes suddenly, and subconsciously thought of the matter of her time travel, not the matter of her predecessor entering the palace. She looked into Qiongniang's eyes, took a few breaths silently, and settled down. Shendao: "You go down first, I will ask Lianniang to take you out of the mansion later, you wait for me at the gate of the mansion, I will send someone to tell Wang Hao, and then I will go back to Su Mansion with you."

Qianxi sensed the dramatic change in Su Lin's mood in the inner acupoint of Su Lin's palm, she closed her hand, floated out of Su Lin's palm, looked suspiciously at the 30-year-old woman in front of Su Lin, and said: " What's the matter? What happened?" When she was practicing, she never paid attention to the outside world, unless Su Lin changed like now, she would be awakened, so she didn't know what Qiongniang and Su Lin said .

Qiongniang couldn't see Qianxi, nor could she hear what Qianxi said, so she bowed her head and left the room in response.

Su Lin took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and said to Qian Xi consciously: "Stop practicing for a while, stay with me, the place I'm going to may be dangerous." Know the origin of her who has never met before, otherwise things will be really tricky.
