Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 236 Willing to Make 'Marriage Clothes' for Others

A ray of sunlight came in in the early morning, and a soft call rang in my ears again and again, "Ma'am, ma'am..."

Gu Qinglian slowly opened her eyes, "Ma'am, there are many soldiers standing in the yard, and there are also soldiers guarding the door. What's going on here?"

Soldier?guard?What happened?

Gu Qinglian got up with a grunt, got out of the bed with bare feet and went to the window, and saw a few soldiers standing in the small courtyard, wearing armor and holding spears, all of them standing majestically.

Gu Qinglian was afraid that she would be grounded again, she immediately understood in her heart.

See more, get used to it, and it doesn't matter.

Gu Qinglian walked slowly to the side of the couch, it was still early, and she could sleep for a while.Lifted the quilt and got in again.

Fangxin couldn't bear her temper, and asked anxiously: "Ma'am, what's going on? Could it be..." She didn't feel a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Gu Qinglian moved her body, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes comfortably, and said lightly, "Yes, I'm grounded."

Fangxin's complexion tightened, and her expression became serious: "The servants also guessed it. But..." She looked a little hesitant, and bit her lips, "Why can't the servants go out?"

According to the Shen family's family rules, the feet are generally restricted by the master's freedom, and the servants who serve can still come and go freely as usual.

Gu Qinglian opened her eyes and glanced at Fangxin who was frowning, and smiled wryly: "It seems that this time, you have followed me to suffer."

She closed her eyes, turned over, and Youyou's voice sounded again: "I tell everyone not to get up early, and sleep comfortably."

Life goes well or not, but you have to see the mentality of the people in life.

Isn't she lying in the warm bed enjoying her beautiful sleep now!What's so terrible about being grounded, at least she doesn't have to worry about arranging food and clothing for a large family, and she doesn't have to worry about the financial crisis of being unable to make ends meet all day long.

She is tired of facing the right and wrong in the inner house all day long and intrigues.Now, just don't have to face these anymore.

The seemingly miserable life God arranged for her in the eyes of others seemed like a relief to her.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinglian's heart became clear, she stretched her belly, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Madame, madam..."

Gu Qinglian was awakened by this soft and soft voice again, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that she had already slept until noon.

"What time is it?"

"Return to madam, it's almost noon. The lunch has already been delivered, and the maidservant woke you up."

Gu Qinglian sat up slowly, and told Fangxin to do simple grooming and dressing.The feet are all grounded, and there is no need to go out anyway, no matter how good or beautiful the clothes are, it is useless, why not make yourself more comfortable.

She walked to the table and looked around, beef tenderloin fried with scallions, wild duck with lotus leaves, pearl tofu, braised shiitake mushrooms in oil, three loofah rolls, braised unicorn noodles, and her favorite three fresh dumplings in broth.It's not like the rough tea and light food in the past, and the forbidden food of eating bran and swallowing vegetables.

Forget about him, let's talk about having a full stomach first!

"Xin'er, come, let's sit down and eat together." When Gu Qinglian sat down and devoured it, she didn't forget to greet Fang Xin who was standing beside her.

In the ancient world with strict hierarchy, the rule that the master sits and eats delicious food, while the servants stand aside and stare hungry, Gu Qinglian has always found it extremely cruel.However, when I travel to this kind of social environment, there are eyes on me anytime and anywhere, I can't go beyond, I have to abide by it.

But it is different now, there are heavy guards outside, no one can come in.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Fang Xin swallowed, smiled and shook her head.

Gu Qinglian refused, and dragged her to sit beside her, broke off a big chicken leg and stuffed it into Fangxin's mouth, "Don't worry, eat it!"

The days of confinement are still boring, but for Gu Qinglian, it is indeed a rare leisure, with good food and food every day, and no worries about food and clothing. Isn't this the life of rice insects that she is looking forward to.She lived happily. Although she was carefree all day long, a trace of loss and loneliness in her heart was slowly spreading.

In the past few days, no outsider has come in, and as for Shen Congjia, there is no news at all.Her current situation is like a canary bird, imprisoned in a golden cage, and has lost everything, not only her, but everyone in the room has lost their freedom.

Ten days, half a month, a month... The days passed day by day without any news.Gu Qinglian can only go back and forth in the courtyard which is the largest range of activities every day, just like the canary that cannot fly out of the cage.I can't do anything, even if I want to know a little bit of outside news, I can't do anything.

Gu Qinglian was inside, and no one could be seen or heard from outside.No one cared about her situation, and no one took care of her. Such a day made everyone in the courtyard anxious.

Gradually, there were more rumors about her in the mansion.

"Having an affair with another man really ruined the reputation of the Shen family. The young master simply imprisoned her to save her from showing embarrassment everywhere."

"Gu Qinglian is a woman who was born restless. She used to have Ji Minfu, and now she is Li Yuanming. She is really vicious and obscene. I heard that she even seduced the emperor. This kind of bitch should have been locked up long ago."

When she woke up from her afternoon nap, Gu Qinglian was lying lazily, but soft crying and talking came from outside the window.

She got up slowly and went to the window and pushed it open, only to see a little maid crying with her head bowed, and Tweety was persuading her.

"Tweety, what's wrong?"

Cui'er turned around and saw that it was Gu Qinglian, she was like a glass heart, very transparent, naturally she didn't want to worry about her master, so she hurriedly changed her smile and said: "It's nothing, ma'am." As she said, she wanted to pull the little maid Walk.

But this little maid was ignorant, raised her head, looked at Gu Qinglian with red eyes from crying, and said aggrievedly: "Madam, Zhui'er is really not troublesome. Today, the servant girl went to the gate of the courtyard to pick up the washed clothes. Who would have thought that it was Aunt Liu's place?" A little maid came to give it to me, but the servant received many white eyes and complaints from her, and she deliberately threw the clothes on the ground. The more you talk about things, the more you talk about her, the angrier she gets, and she even slapped me." As she spoke, she began to cry.

"Aren't there guards at the gate, why, they don't care?"

"Madam doesn't know, these soldiers are all like logs, although we can't go out, the rest are ignored."

"Okay! I know everything! You all go down!"

Gu Qinglian heard it in her ears and felt sad in her heart.She didn't offend anyone, and she didn't intend to fight with anyone, let alone win anyone's favor.Why did they do this to her?She was also bullied together with the servants in the courtyard.It turned out that even though she was grounded, she still hadn't jumped out of the fight in the back house.

All kinds of rumors and insults followed one after another, Gu Qinglian was not in the mood to stand up and refute the rumors for herself, nor did she have the ability to do it for herself.The only thing she can do is to sit in the yard all day, watching the time go by and change among the flowers and trees.

"Ma'am, let's go back to the house! It's cool in late autumn, I'm afraid I'm getting cold."

Unknowingly, Gu Qinglian sat in this courtyard for most of the afternoon.Watching the twilight close together and the fog getting thicker, Gu Qinglian followed Fangxin into the house.Behind the screen next to the bedroom, the bathing water has been prepared, and it is steaming hot.

Gu Qinglian leaned against the bathtub with her eyes slightly closed, soaked in the warm water, she couldn't help releasing the fatigue all over her body.The faint scent of rose petals made her feel very comfortable.

Fangxin gently rubbed her back with soft hands, she opened her eyes slightly, looked at Fangxin, "Xin'er..."

"Hmm..." Fangxin picked up the bath beans and gently wiped them on Gu Qinglian's body.

"Why did you come to the mansion to be a maid?"

The room was silent for a moment, only the lingering heat rising from the bathtub, Fangxin was slightly lost in thought, recalling the scene of the first day she entered Shen's residence: she was only nine years old that year, her mother left her due to illness, her father owed her The gambling debts sold her to the Shen family. Although she was a slave and servant, and was ordered around, she still had enough food and clothing.

She came back to her senses, smiled wryly and said: "Xin'er was born with a hard life, her mother died early, and her father didn't hurt her. Fortunately, she came to the Shen family, so she won't starve to death."

Looking at Fang Xin's hazy and beautiful face, Gu Qinglian suddenly felt a little sentimental in her heart.

Slave, an unfortunate and tragic identity.

This is the cruelest part of the ancient system, making it impossible for people to live well for themselves.Born to be ordered by others, to be a slave and a handmaid.

Think about the loss of freedom in this life, just because you can fill your stomach every day and have a place to sleep, you have to work hard for others, dare not make mistakes, dare not make great achievements.There is nothing more cruel than such a rule.

"Haven't you ever thought about changing your identity and life like this?"

Gu Qinglian suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at her piercingly. Her words were a little sudden, Fang Xin was a little frightened, and the bath beans she was holding slipped down.She hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, trying her best to endure the self-contemptuous attitude in her heart, Nuonuo said: "I have never thought about it, and I dare not think about it."

Gu Qinglian looked at her and was silent for a while.The outcome of servants like them is not much better. When they reach the age of marriage and marry a good family, they will accumulate merits and blessings. If they are taken away by an arrogant rascal, their life will be ruined.

This is the tragedy of women in ancient times. They can never choose their own man.

Not only that, as long as he has not been redeemed and the master says to let go, then he will have freedom to speak of, if the master does not let go.They will be ordered by their master for the rest of their lives.

Gu Qinglian saw the loss in Fangxin's eyes.

If it can be changed, who wants to be at the mercy of others for the rest of their lives?Even just being an ordinary commoner is much better than it is now.

Throughout the dynasties, slaves and maids were slaves for one day, and they were slaves for life.So few people would want to be free, but the loss in her eyes made Gu Qinglian's heart light up.

think, hope.It shows that her heart is not completely dead, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope for the future, miracles may appear in life.A flash of impulse flashed in Gu Qinglian's heart, she decided to help Fangxin.Since she has no power to change her own destiny, but with her current status, she can help her break free from this miserable life.

She is determined to help Fangxin choose a good husband, help her redeem her body, and let her live the life of love and freedom that she has been looking forward to for a long time.
