Daughter's Survival Manual

Chapter 38
Of course, Hongxiu has nothing to say about his sincerity to Han Yuexia.But Han Yuexia couldn't change his mind just because of Hongxiu's words.She didn't want to embarrass Hongxiu, but she thought about what Mrs. Zou said just now.Han Yuexia forcibly pulled up Hongxiu, "I'm not embarrassing you, Hongxiu. Didn't you hear what the old lady said just now? Look at me, there are women and maids outside. I am like this now, so I can appear in front of others When I come out this time, you and Fuling will be by my side." Han Yuexia pointed at the ragged clothes and red sleeves on her body.

Hong Xiu's whole body trembled, thinking of Mrs. Zou's words.Although it is said that there are some women and maids outside, they are not people around Han Yuexia. If there are one or two people who talk badly and spread it, there will inevitably be some gossip.But Hongxiu didn't have the courage to step on Han Yuexia's body, she stammered and refused: "Little, little lady, slave, slave is really..."

Before Hongxiu finished speaking, Han Yue cast a piercing gaze, and Hongxiu immediately closed her mouth.Seeing that Hongxiu didn't speak again, Han Yuexia said again: "Hongxiu, I know what you are thinking. But if I go out first today, it's fine if I have nothing to do, but what if someone really can't keep their mouths shut? , Hongxiu, I can't go out first, and you don't want to go out first, do you want to be trapped here to death with me?

Hongxiu, you go out first, you are saving me.And if you insist, you are harming me! "In the last sentence, Han Yuexia slightly raised the volume. The voice forced Hongxiu to tremble unconsciously. When Hongxiu looked at Han Yuexia again, Han Yuexia had already bent his back and half-lyed on the edge of the stone. , it was clearly for Hongxiu to step on it.

No matter how unwilling Hong Xiu was, seeing Han Yuexia's appearance, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and stepped on it heartily.The corners of her eyes were moist, and in just a short while, tears fell down her cheeks.As soon as Hongxiu stepped on it, Han Yuexia immediately gasped.Her back was injured, and she didn't feel much when she thought about it, but now she was stepped on by Hongxiu.Han Yuexia only felt that the object was stuck in her flesh, and her whole body was numb due to the pain, like being pricked by a needle.

Hearing Han Yuexia's sharp breathing, Hongxiu's movements also quickened, and she was afraid that she would just feel like she was standing on Han Yuexia's body for a second longer.When Hongxiu climbed up the stone, several women not far away shouted: "I found it! I found it! The servant girl has found the little lady!"

Mrs. Zou's fingers trembled when she heard the words, and then she stood on the veranda and shouted at the people below: "Why are you still standing still?! Why don't you help the little lady up?!" Mrs. Zou's voice was full of anger, It's like finding the center of gravity.Seeing the ladies and maids below rushing towards the veranda, Mrs. Zou's heart skipped a beat, she didn't care much, she took her crutches and walked quickly down the veranda.

The red sleeve was picked up from the stone, and she pulled the woman's clothes and said, "Hurry up and find a coat, the little lady's clothes are scratched, and she can't come out for a while!"

Mrs. Zou never thought that she would hear Hongxiu shouting like that as soon as she came.Her complexion changed again and again, and she yelled at a group of people before she got close: "Didn't you listen to what people said? Why don't you find a piece of clothing and ask someone to move this stone away!" Hearing this voice, Hong Xiu immediately She raised her head, she was extremely unwilling to see Mrs. Zou right now, but now she had to rely on Mrs. Zou to rescue Han Yuexia.Not long after, Hongxiu took a dark robe from a woman, and she shouted at the throat: "Little lady, I'm just throwing the clothes over here!" After finishing speaking, Hongxiu wrapped the robe into a A ball, just throw it towards the stone.

Han Yuexia's face turned pale from the pain, just now when Hong Xiu stepped on it, it was as if crushed stones had been stepped into the bones.In a short time, Han Yuexia's forehead was covered with fine sweat. She picked up the clothes with trembling hands, spread them out, and then covered her body.The dark robe was not made of silk, satin or silk, it was still steaming, as if it had just been ripped off a person.Han Yuexia frowned, only to feel her back being rubbed by the rough cloth, her whole body became hot, and her brain became confused after a while, and then she tilted her head and passed out leaning against the gravel beside her.

When Han Yuexia slowly opened her eyes, before she came back to her senses, she heard Mrs. Zou's shrill voice saying, "If you didn't take good care of me, if you didn't take good care of me, my grandson How can my son look like this now? Poor my grandson, when he was carried out, his face was pale, and his body was covered with long and thin wounds. Is this how you came to serve the little lady? This is you duty?"

Mrs. Zou raised her crutches and gave a heavy blow, "Nurse Rong, for the sake of being a wet nurse, I will give you some face, and I didn't let you spoil our little lady like this. You can't sleep today. Besides, if you continue to talk about these things in front of me, you will go to the board with her!" Mrs. Zou's words were not polite, and most of the courage that Nanny Rong had worked up with great difficulty disappeared immediately.

The next time Han Yue opened her eyes, she looked at Mrs. Zou's livid face, and there was a sound of "slapping" from the board outside the window.Han Yuexia became anxious, thinking about Mrs. Zou's previous behavior, combined with Mrs. Zou's words just now, it is not difficult to see who Nanny Rong is pleading for. "Grandma!" Han Yuexia shouted, "Why is grandma so angry? Huh? Grandma, where are Fuling and Hongxiu? I'm already lying here, why don't they come to serve me?"

The next time Han Yue spoke, the room immediately became quiet.Mrs. Zou was taken aback, then turned her head and smiled and pushed Han Yuexia down halfway on the bed, "What is this for? I was injured just now, so you don't lie down properly, thinking about two maidservants who didn't serve you properly What are you doing? With grandma here, Huhou just eats and drinks well, and heals up as soon as possible." Madam Zou said gently, but Han Yuexia frowned, "Grandmother, there is only Nanny Rong by my side. The three of them, Hongxiu is the person who has been with Houhou since childhood, and Fuling is also the person left by the mother to Houhou. The mouth is stupid, and I can't say anything else, so I just beg the grandmother to spare the two of them. Let one of them be the master. to punish them."

Mrs. Zou heard the word Fu Ling, a sternness flashed across her kind face, and her tone was not very good, "What happened yesterday is so big, can you still rely on your past face to forgive me? Wow, you Pleading for them, isn’t it allowing them to break the rules? If anything happens in the future, what can you ask your father, your grandmother, and me to do?”

"Grandmother..." Han Yuexia yelled, pleading in her eyes.But Mrs. Zou pretended not to see it, turned her head and said: "This time is different from the past. If it wasn't a big deal before, I would forgive it if I was soft-hearted. But now, Wan Wan, you are your grandmother's life, you Mother just left, if grandma doesn't stay vigilant, will she let those slaves do whatever they want? Yesterday was hou hou, you were blessed by gods and Buddhas, what about the future? Besides, if you make a mistake, you will be punished. If you don't think for yourself, is it possible? Can't you think about the dignity of the Hou Mansion?"

The more Mrs. Zou talked, the more she felt that what she said was right. She turned her head and said to Han Yue, "Wu Hou, don't blame grandma for being cruel. Well, even if I sell it, no one else has anything to say. Today, only a dozen boards have been sold, and it’s just for them to remember.”

Han Yuexia's face turned pale, Mrs. Zou said something according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, but she didn't say a word.After all, she was too young, and with Han Yao's words in front of her, she had no room to argue against Mrs. Zou's decency.Mrs. Zou saw that Han Yuexia's face was not very good-looking, she showed a few touches of relief smiles, and said, "Okay, okay, grandma knows that Houhou values ​​those two servant girls, and she won't come back after she's been punished. Don't worry about it. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, of course Houhou listened to grandma." Han Yuexia replied lying on the bed with lowered eyelids, suppressing the anger in her stomach.Hearing what Han Yuexia said, Mrs. Zou became more and more satisfied, and she explained a few words before heading back.As soon as Mrs. Zou left, before Han Yuexia could speak, Nanny Rong ran out in a hurry.Han Yuexia didn't wait for Nanny Rong to come in for a long time, and her heart became more and more flustered. After thinking about it, she propped up her hands from the bed, put on her blue-soled embroidered shoes, and went out.

In the yard, Fuling and Hongxiu were lying on the tiger bench, their trousers were blood red.Hongxiu was in so much pain that she shed tears early, since she came down from the veranda yesterday, she hasn't had a moment to rest, and the clothes on her body are in a mess.There was still sweat on the forehead, arms and back, which was dried by the wind and turned into sweat particles sticking to the body.In addition, after being hit by the board, the skin of the buttocks was ripped apart, and the sweat was blown in, causing a stabbing pain.Although Fuling is bigger than Hongxiu and has some fist skills, but this meeting is not much worse than Hongxiu.Grandma Rong shed tears as soon as she saw it, "Why was the beating so hard? It's all from the girl's house..."

Hongxiu was used to being heartless, she couldn't see Nanny Rong shedding tears for herself, so she opened her mouth to comfort Nanny Rong.But as soon as he raised his head, he saw Han Yuexia walking out while leaning on the wall.Hongxiu immediately yelled, "Little lady, what are you doing out here?"

Nanny Rong and Fu Ling were taken aback.Nanny Rong jumped up and went to help Han Yuexia, "Little lady, you are not well yet, how can you get out of bed so easily?" Busy, come out now to take a look and still be missed by several people.She pressed Nanny Rong's hand, "Mommy, I'll just go and lie down by myself. Call some little girls to help and take good care of Fuling and Hongxiu. They might not be able to get out of bed for two or three days." Han Yuexia wiped away her tears and said to Nanny Rong.

Nanny Rong nodded immediately, even if Han Yuexia didn't explain these words, she would let people do it.

It was only after Mrs. Zou returned to the yard that she realized that Nanny Ning was missing.Mrs. Zou's complexion darkened immediately after she recovered just now, not to mention whether or not she succeeded in exorcising ghosts, she still doesn't know where she went now.Mrs. Zou immediately glared at the people in the yard, "Have you ever seen Nurse Ning?" Seeing a group of people shaking their heads and denying it, Mrs. Zou had suffered a soft nail and couldn't even lose her temper. Pointing at everyone's nose and shouting, they heard someone calling at the gate of the courtyard.

It turned out that the mother and daughter Wen Wan who lived next door to Han Yuexia heard what happened yesterday and came to visit.

It took a while for Mrs. Zou to realize who the so-called Mrs. Wen was. After several rounds of breathing and exhaling, she cleaned up, and then someone led Wen Wan and her daughter into the door.

Wen Wan never let go of any news from Guiyihou's mansion.In the past, it was fine if Han Yuexia and Han Yao couldn't get in the Hou's mansion, but now in Hui'en Temple, Han Yuexia lives next to Wen Wan, how could Wen Wan let go of a little chance for nothing?Wen Wan also heard a lot about what happened to Han Yuexia yesterday.Wen Wan has never been a simple person, and she would never believe the news that Mrs. Zou said that Han Yuexia accidentally fell down the corridor.But this meeting and will never interfere with the affairs of Gui Yihou's inner house.

Wen Wan led Wen Shuangyi and walked in with a smile.As soon as she entered the door, Wen Shuangyi stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Zou very well.After a night of recuperation, Wen Shuangyi's face has improved a lot.The pink and tender little face is full of inviting smiles.When Mrs. Zou saw it, the lines on her face softened a lot, "Mrs. Wen, sit down!"
