wife master

Chapter 57
Miaolian endured her sadness, helped Ali up from the ground, and comforted her: "Ali, since it is the master's game, why should you take it seriously? Don't think about the ending, as long as you can have a little bit of love in the process." Happiness is also good, right? If there is only pain at all, then it is not a bad idea to die for relief."

A Li was embraced in Miaolian's warm embrace, and said infatuatedly: "If you don't take it seriously, won't your heart hurt in the future? Maybe this is a good way. Brother Miaolian, the previous master once made me swear a poisonous oath, It requires me to persist in living. If I commit suicide, not only my soul will fall into hell forever, but my relatives will also die. So I can’t die. Besides, when I think about it carefully, when the master loves me, I can really feel it. to happiness. I'm just afraid that getting used to happiness has forgotten how to bear pain."

Miaolian's heart moved, and she asked tentatively: "Ali, do you remember your relatives? Do you know where they are? Do you want to find them? Maybe they will help you."

Ali said firmly in a very soft voice: "I remember that I have no mother, only a dumb father. Sometimes I dream of my cousin in my dreams. It was after my family suffered a disaster and I was imprisoned with other brothers. , I was too young at that time, and I always couldn’t grab what other people didn’t eat. My cousin would give me some of his food when he saw that I was poor. If he didn’t take care of me, I would have starved to death. I have a vague impression , It seems that on the day we parted, he said that he would visit me in the future. I don’t know how he is doing now. I can’t help them, but I won’t drag them down either. So I want to keep living.”

Miaolian couldn't hold back her tears. He grabbed the clothes that A Li had just taken off and put them on carefully for A Li. He used this movement to cover up and prevent A Li from seeing him cry.He tried his best to suppress his excitement, and said in a relatively normal voice: "Ali, I think your relatives should also miss you. They will be grateful to you if they know your thoughts."

A Li was immersed in his own sorrow, and didn't notice Miaolian's strangeness. He said quietly: "Actually, I miss them, but I dare not recognize and reunite with them. I am afraid that my dirty and humble existence will tarnish the family's dignity." The reputation has affected their future."

"A Li, how can you belittle yourself? If your relatives are still alive, they should also be slaves. They may not be much nobler than you. Maybe they will rely on you in the future, and they will need your care." Miao Lian once Because he fell into prostitution and blamed himself, but later he gradually realized that people who are not self-reliant will never be respected, so when he felt Ali's inferiority and despair, he couldn't just sit idly by.Ali is the family member he misses the most. He may not be able to do practical things to help Ali for the time being, but words of comfort and relief are always possible.

Miaolian continued: "Ali, have you ever thought about striving for a better life, not just for yourself, you have the responsibility to take care of the people you care about in the future, maybe your relatives, maybe you Lovers, they will all have a place for you."

Ali hesitated: "Do I have such ability? I..."

"A Li, it is an advantage for you to be by Miss Fourth's side. Yu's family is the head of the four great families. Although Miss Fourth is only a concubine, she enjoys the privileges and wealth that a concubine from an ordinary rich family might have. It’s incomparable. Maybe in the future someone will ask you to do things and give you benefits. You can also grasp more rights and live a better life because of this.”

Ali asked half-understanding: "Brother Miaolian, what do you mean? Are you asking me to sell the master's news in exchange for my own benefits?"

Miao Lian was surprised and said: "Ali, you are very smart. Did someone ask you to do such a thing before? The various forces in the aristocratic family are intricate, and your position can be used to get in touch with the Fourth Miss more closely. Someone asked you about the Fourth Miss. You don’t want to tell them where your words and deeds are going. If you want money, friendship, or convenience, you can buy them for a price.”

Ali bit her lip and said, "Isn't doing so disloyal to the master? The previous master forbade me to do this, and the current master doesn't like me talking nonsense about her."

Miaolian said disapprovingly: "Ali, you should be smart when you meet people. You are loyal to your master, but there are some things that others know will not be a loss to your master, or someone asks you for help and asks you to give gifts to other people. Why do you Why don’t you take advantage of it? You have to learn to use everything for your own benefit, so that you can live more comfortably.”

"What you said is very similar to Passing Water. He also told me to learn to use some things to achieve my own goals, and to master a special skill in order to occupy a place in the master's heart." Ali murmured.

When Miao Lian heard the name Passing Water from A Li's mouth, she couldn't help trembling violently in her heart, and asked nervously, "A Li, who are you talking about Passing Water?"

Ali said truthfully: "Passing Water is a third-class servant in the master's yard. Although I am also a third-class servant, but Passing Water sold his body to bury his father and enter the mansion. He is a clean and good son, much better than me. He also understands a lot of truths. He said that I can talk to him and he will help me."

Miao Lian looked at A Li's innocent smile when he talked about Passing Water, and couldn't help feeling sad inwardly: Passing Water, Passing Water, I hope you just want to know about Miss Fourth's situation from A Li, if you plan to use A Li to do something dangerous I will be the first to stop it.

Miaolian made some calculations, then turned around and took out a few neatly embroidered sachets from the small cabinet beside the bed. He greeted A Li and said, "A Li, I have nothing to do, so I embroidered some small things, all of which are worthless." decorations, can you help me bring some back to give to your master's other servants."

"Yeah." Ali replied habitually, but a little expectation rose inexplicably in his heart. Although Miaolian didn't say it clearly, if he was asked to help bring things to others, would he also get a gift? ?This is what Miaolian taught him just now, he boldly tried, "Brother Miaolian, can you give me one too?"

A Li is really smart, and he can use the principles just taught him flexibly. Miao Lian said happily: "A Li, I beg you to help me with something, of course I will give you benefits. Waiter? I'll help you choose, and I'll give you a special gift. In the future, the lady will often come to Yihong Pavilion to inspect the business. Most people in her yard also want to know what kind of people serve in the restaurant. I will ask you to help Bringing some gifts to them is my initiative to show my favor, lest they say too many bad things about me in front of the lady. I hope you will take care of me in the future, and we will serve the good lady together, so that everyone can be happier."

Ali didn't expect that he would really get a gift if he asked for it, which somewhat increased his self-confidence.

Miaolian helped Ali choose three sachets, put spices in them, and tied them tightly.Then Miaolian untied a small sachet with a very special pattern from her neck.It was a pure white lotus flower embroidered on dark blue satin, surrounded by strange patterns, and the mouth of the sachet had been sewn shut, exuding a distinctive and elegant fragrance.He handed the sachet to Ali, and said solemnly: "Ali, I like this sachet the most. I can't repay you for your help, so I will give this to you. This sachet is different from others. , in addition to the spices, there are also amulets I asked for from the temple, which may bring you good luck and keep you safe."

A Li was flattered and declined: "Since it belongs to brother Miaolian, how can I bear it?"

Miaolian smiled and said: "This is not a precious thing of gold and silver. How can I not bear it? I often go to the temple to ask for amulets when I have nothing to do. I also like the new and hate the old. There are a lot of sachets. This is for you. I will give it to you again If you make a new and better one, you can accept it with peace of mind. If you refuse again, you will look down on the things I have used."

How can Ali talk about Miaolian?He couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the gift obediently, and let Miaolian tie the sachet between his neck and hide it in the clothes on his chest.

Miaolian reminded again: "A Li, I take this thing off when I take a bath, and it is only useful if I wear it close to my body. Also, you take my gift and go back, let Shishui pick it up first. Since he offered to help You treat you well, and when you are good, you should think of him more. If he asks what I gave you, you can secretly show him the one you wear around your neck. "

"Yeah." Ali touched the small sachet through his clothes, and was very moved.For the past 16 years, he has had nothing but a chain and rope around his neck.The jewelry Miaolian gave was the second gift he got. Although it was far less expensive than the sword Yuhui gave, it could be seen Miaolian's affection and care.Because of this gift, Ali felt that he could be liked by others, at least Miaolian did not despise him and was willing to make friends with him.

"Brother Miaolian, thank you for teaching me so many principles and giving me this gift. I am so happy."

"Then remember the happy moments, think about it when you are sad in the future, maybe it can relieve the pain." Miao Lian sighed softly, now he can only do these trivial things for Ali, hoping that the passing water After seeing the sachet on A Li's neck, he can understand that A Li is the most important person in his Miaolian, so stop thinking about A Li.

—————Author’s Words—————

These chapters are always a little bit over the standard these days. According to the plan, I will probably go to other places to see university teachers today. It is estimated that I will not be able to come back until Sunday morning. I will try to make up the chapters that are owed, or maybe I haven’t reached 30 votes yet, so I just need to save Next week's draft is up.
