Chapter 111
Lin Daiyu's words are so straightforward that even a fool can understand, not to mention Qingshuang is so smart.
But Qingshuang had some scruples in her heart and couldn't make it through.
Wu Hui originally wanted to see Qingshuang's face change, but she didn't expect Qingshuang to remain expressionless, staring at the picture scroll materials for a long time, without saying a word, she became more and more dull.It's also boring to watch.Wu Hui had no choice but to go back and complain to Lin Daiyu: "Grandma made it so clear, that guy Qingshuang still used the sheet music to stick his nose in the face, if you want me to say, just tell Qingwen to find another lover to marry, don't stare at this Stubborn cow, if the two of them get married, they won't be able to quarrel for three days, and within a few days, they will find grandma to make the decision!"
Lin Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, Zijuan came up and squeezed Wu Hui hard, saying: "You can shut up! What do you know about the girl's thoughts!" Saying that, she gave him the peanuts and sent him away.
Then he asked Lin Daiyu, "Grandma, what should I do if Qingshuang hasn't come yet?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "Wait for two days and see, maybe he will come after he thinks it through."
Qingwen was bringing in new tea, and said angrily, "Grandma, don't worry about me. Whether he likes to come or not, I don't necessarily want to come if he comes. Everyone is the same slave. Who is more expensive than the other? Why should he come?" Grandma should take the trouble to ask three times and four times."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "What kind of slave is not a slave? Didn't I say that when you get married, I will let you out."
Qingwen is high-minded and doesn't want to be a slave for the rest of her life, everyone knows that.Lin Daiyu also said earlier that once she got married, she would be released from slavery, and she would be sent to marry in a serious manner.
Qingwen's eyes turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Grandma loves me, I know. It's a pity..." It's a pity that Qingshuang doesn't know what's good and what's wrong!
Seeing that Qingwen was sad again, Zijuan hurriedly smoothed things over, saying: "Don't worry about being sad, our grandma is so smart, she will definitely find a way to clean up Qingshuang and make him bow his head obediently to propose marriage. Grandma will let you both go Slaves, you are going through life in the future!"
"With a husband and son-in-law like Qingshuang, your children and grandchildren will study hard in the future, and maybe they will be able to pass the exam and make you a beautiful official wife! I will not be able to compare with you in the future..." Zijuan joked , Qingwen blushed.
This marriage has not been settled, and even the grandson has spoken out!
Lin Daiyu heard the two talking and laughing, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called Zijuan: "Are all the servants in our mansion's contracts of prostitution with me?"
Zijuan nodded and said: "Yes, the third master turned around early in the morning."
Lin Daiyu hurriedly said, "Go and find out all of them, and I'll have a look."
"Hey! Grandma, why are you in such a hurry!" Qingwen thought that Lin Daiyu was going to find her and Qingshuang's contract of sale to deal with the release of slavery just now, so she immediately felt even more ashamed, and hurriedly found an excuse to avoid going out.
Zijuan was happy to see the success of this, and flipped through the small box containing the contract of sale with his hands and feet and came out.Lin Daiyu flipped through the pages, found Qingwen's deed of prostitution and put it aside, then looked for Qingshuang's deed of prostitution, but looked at it for a long time.
Zijuan saw that her expression was a little bad, so she asked: "What's wrong, grandma? But what's wrong?"
Lin Daiyu smiled, folded up the two deeds of sale and stuffed them into a purse, saying: "It's nothing, there is a word on it that I don't quite understand, so I took a second look."
Zijuan was startled, and said happily, "Oh, it's rare for a girl not to know the characters!" But she sighed and didn't ask much.Even Lin Daiyu couldn't read the characters, what could she understand?
But she didn't know that the "barely recognizable characters" Lin Daiyu said was Qingshuang's real surname - Kui.
This word is rarely used in ordinary times, and it is very uncommon as a surname.
Lin Daiyu was raised in the Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, and she heard Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang talk about the relatives and friends of the Jia family.Later, she was named the head of the county, and she also participated in several gatherings of noble girls.Married with Bao Cong, moved to Lin's house to live alone, and even met several official wives.
All of these families have a lot of stories in their stomachs, and they have never heard of anyone with the surname Kui.Except that year, when Qin Keqing passed away, Baoyu Baocong and the others mentioned it once.
The coffin Qin Keqing buried belonged to Prince Yizhong, but it was useless for Prince Yizhong to commit crimes. After many years, the coffin was invited out and moved to Qin Keqing... King Yizhong was a prince with a different surname, and he The surname is Kui... and Qingshuang's body deed also stated that because the head of the family committed a crime, the house was confiscated and he was not made an official slave.
Official slaves are different from ordinary servants, and all of them are full of troublesome lawsuits.Some official slaves are cheap, and no one dares to take over them. In the end, they can only be filled with the court and Jiaofangsi and become a lowly status that cannot be turned over.
Qingshuang was lucky enough to be able to enter Jia's house.But he is an official slave after all, if he really has relationship with Prince Yizhong, then it will be difficult to handle.
Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, as if she understood what Qingshuang was thinking.
When Qingshuang came to ask about it, Lin Daiyu dismissed Zijuan and asked him about it alone.
Qingshuang admitted it as expected, he smiled wryly and said: "Actually, I can't climb up to that one, I just used his name to enjoy a few days of blessings. My father is a bastard, and he met my mother when he was visiting Yangzhou. I... ....My mother and I lived outside first, and then returned to the master's house when I was six years old. Later...the one had an accident, and I became an official slave."
Among the twists and turns, Lin Daiyu can figure it out without Qingshuang going into details.
Lin Daiyu sighed and asked again: "What about your mother?"
After a while of silence, Qingshuang calmly said: "He died at that time."
How did she die? Qingshuang didn't say anything, and Lin Daiyu couldn't ask. She only mentioned Qingwen and said, "She only wants to be with you in her heart. I think you also have her in your heart. What do you think about this?"
However, Qingshuang respectfully presented a scroll and said: "This is the person my grandma asked me to choose, and I have already chosen it. For Qingwen, grandma should persuade her. She always listens to your advice."
After a pause, Qingshuang said again: "I am really grateful that you have taken care of me, but... she has no life. She is a good girl, why should she accompany me to be a servant for the rest of her life? Her children All children and grandchildren should enjoy the blessings, and I cannot implicate all children and grandchildren as slaves or handmaids."
An official slave like Qingshuang cannot be turned over without the grace of the Holy Majesty, and it is useless even if Jia Mu is alive.Back then, King Yizhong committed the serious crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family. How could the Holy One give a pardon to a small official slave?
Qingwen wants to be a good citizen, so why...
"Hey, this is really... a bad fate." Sighing softly, Lin Daiyu let Qingshuang go back, and this knot also remained in her heart, always wondering if there was any room for change, such as setting up a Great work or something...

As soon as Qingshuang left the main courtyard, she ran into Qingwen.
Qingwen was in a hurry, holding a gray bundle in her hand.Qingshuang remained silent, bowed to Qingwen expressionlessly, and passed her by.
Qingwen was so angry that she jumped again, picked up the bag in her hand and threw it at Qingshuang.
The burden hit the person, and it fell to the ground with a snap, revealing the brand new green clothes inside.Qingshuang didn't look back, and even kept walking.
Now Qingwen's heart is really cold to the end.
Went to Lin Daiyu, learned that Qingshuang had chosen a husband-in-law for her, she was so angry for a while, she didn't even refuse, she agreed to marry her straight away.
Qingwen was angry, Qingshuang's problem couldn't be solved for a while, Lin Daiyu was very worried, so she sent Qingwen to serve Yuanchun.
Yuan Chun is about to give birth, and there are only two or three confidantes in front of him to serve him, and they live in Huangjue Temple.Quiet is quiet, and simple is really simple.Send Qingwen to help, add some food, and just in time to help when the child is born.

In October, Bao Cong will return to the capital after presiding over Tanchun's wedding.
Because Liu Xianglian was going to propose marriage to Yuanyang, she said goodbye first, and went to his aunt to ask the elders to come to Beijing to host.Bao Cong took a dozen servants and went back in a carriage with the mandarin duck who was still recuperating.
A few days later, Chen Ping wrote to say that he wanted to meet them, and Bao Cong made an appointment at the inn where he came.Who wants to go to the post station, they encountered a group of murderous robbers.
Liu Xianglian was not there, and Yuanyang's hand injury was not healed. Seven or eight robbers started killing like desperately, but Bao Cong was too busy to take care of himself. If he didn't pay attention, the carriage got out of control and carried Yuanyang to the cliff. go.Bao Cong hurriedly rode his horse to chase after it, and it took a desperate effort to pull the mandarin duck out of the carriage. As a result, both of them fell to the ground and passed out.
The servants managed to beat the robbers away, and came to find Baocong and Yuanyang. Seeing that both of them passed out, they didn't care about the robbers or the lost property, so they quickly settled them in an inn in a nearby town. Then write to Chen Ping and ask him to meet at the inn.
The mandarin duck was protected by Bao Cong, but woke up after being fainted for half a day.However, the injury to the arm is added to the injury, and it will take several days to recuperate.It doesn't matter, what matters is Bao Cong, I don't know if his head is broken, but Bao Cong has been in a coma for two days without waking up.
The doctor invited several people, and they all said that he had hurt his head, so he could only wait for him to wake up, and if he couldn't wake up, he would have to prepare for his funeral.
Yuanyang was very angry when he heard that, and drove all the doctors out, cursing: "Go to your funeral! You quack doctors, you don't even know how to look at the wounds, what kind of shit doctors! My third master just Knocked his head lightly, everything else is fine, why are you preparing for the funeral? I think you are black-hearted and cursed him!"
After scolding and crying, she saw Bao Cong lying motionless on the bed. If there was something, she didn't know how to explain to Mrs. Wang and Lin Daiyu when she returned to Beijing.He stretched out his hand to touch Bao Cong's forehead and face again, only to feel that his hand was warm, and the breath from the tip of his nose was steady. It didn't look like he was injured or seriously ill, but he just fell asleep.
After thinking about it, Yuanyang called the servants again, told them to ride out on horseback, and then asked the doctor to continue watching.She didn't believe it anymore, she visited famous doctors all the way to Beijing, Bao Cong is doing well, there is no doctor who can see famous doctors!
Baocong was lying on the bed, but she couldn't hear Yuanyang crying.He was in a white mist, he was at a loss, and couldn't remember what happened to him for a while.
His feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and his head seemed to be filled with Chen Tie.
After walking a few steps, the white mist dissipated slightly, and a bustling street suddenly appeared in front of Bao Cong's eyes.There are modern high-rise buildings on the left and right, and there is a lot of traffic around you. The noise of the crowd and the sound of car horns are intertwined. There is an overpass 20 meters away, and the sound of Erhu is faintly heard from above... ..
Bao Cong recognized it for a while, and then realized——isn't this the crossroads he had to go through to get to the studio in his previous life?
