concubines are respected

Chapter 3: As soon as it comes, it is safe
The two of Suxian walked through the front yard and bypassed the light blue lotus pond. It was early autumn, and the lotus in the lotus pond had already withered. The reflection of the sky is projected on the water surface, like countless ghosts and monsters dormant in it, just about to move.

The backyard under the night is suffocatingly quiet.Cui Ya and Su Xian walked side by side, perhaps she hadn't gotten away from the panic, Cui Ya raised her hand and caressed Su Xian's shoulder, which was half a head shorter than her, as if to comfort and calm her flustered mood.

Suxian clearly felt that Cuiya's arm protecting her shoulders was still trembling slightly, "Don't worry, I'm back, tomorrow is a new beginning."

Suxian patted the trembling hand on the shoulder very maturely, and said in a low voice, such a calm and calm voice, coming from a thin and thin body, seemed extremely uncoordinated.

Under the night, Cui Ya was in a daze. The second young lady, who was usually weak and cowardly, would only cry aggrieved when things happened. After this change, she seemed to have changed her temper. Uncharacteristically, she calmed down a lot.

Cui Ya didn't understand what caused the second young lady to change so suddenly.

Of course, how did she know that there was a 13-year-old soul living in this 28-year-old body.The strange feeling was quickly overwhelmed by the timidity in my heart.

"But Second Miss, you know that Mama Hu's nephew has a very bad reputation. He travels around the Flower Street and Willow Alley on weekdays, and his reputation has long been notorious. The servant girl is worried that if Da Furen really promises you to that person, what will happen." Cuiya, who escaped from the predicament, couldn't help worrying about Suxian's future fate.

"Don't worry, if I remember correctly, in this era, the age of marriage is only 15 years old and later, and everything is just a rumor that has not been confirmed. It is too impatient to escape from the house today."

Suxian twisted her sore neck, and said wearily, "Forget it, don't think about these troubles for now, go back to the room and have a good rest, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Cui Ya was so depressed that she didn't speak anymore, and her panic made her unaware of the strangeness of the age in Suxian's words.The two stepped up and walked towards the backyard.

The backyard where Lin Suxian currently lives is located in the most remote place in the entire Lin Mansion.

Lin Suxian's mother was very fond of birds.His father, Lin Mocheng, specially built a simple aviary in the backyard for the joy of his mother-in-law, named Quewan, which was specially used to raise birds, and invited craftsmen who were good at raising birds from other places to live in Quewan .

Because of the large number of women in the Lin Mansion, it is inconvenient for the craftsmen to walk, so although Que Wan is located in the backyard, it is far away from the Wansuo where Lin Mocheng's wives and concubines live.

Until Suxian's mother passed away due to illness three years ago, Lin Mocheng was in grief and had no time to take care of Que Wan, so he dismissed the craftsmen who raised birds one after another.The scene of birds singing and warbling singing in the past is long gone.

A year later, Lin Mocheng was finally sick and bedridden. The bird was in disrepair. The rare bird that had been raised with a lot of money died and flew away. The house where the bird breeder once lived was also crumbling. It was in ruins, not even the residence of the servants, the people in the Lin Mansion had long regarded this place as a barren land.

After Lin Mocheng fell out of bed, Lin Suxian, who was not welcome at first, lost her only protection. The eldest wife Mo claimed that Lin Suxian's fate conflicted with Lin Mocheng. If you walk too close, it will make his condition worse.

In order for Lin Mocheng's body to recover as soon as possible, Lin Suxian had to be forced to move out of the original residence.Therefore, Lin Suxian, who was only 13 years old, was driven to live in the dilapidated Que Wan, with only Cui Ya and Xiang Cao by her side.

In the early years, Lin Mocheng went his own way regardless of the old lady's objection, forcibly redeeming Suxian's mother and accepting him as a concubine, which caused quite a stir in the Lin family.

The old lady was furious because of this, but she couldn't be more stubborn than Lin Mocheng, so she reluctantly endured it.

However, the old lady was extremely displeased with Lin Suxian, her granddaughter.

Therefore, although Lin Suxian was driven to live in Quewan by the eldest lady, the old lady turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, assuming that there was no granddaughter Lin Suxian.

He lived in Queyuan for two years, but in the past two years, Lin Mocheng's condition worsened, and Suxian never saw his father again.

In addition to still wearing the vain title of Miss Lin's Second Miss on her head, there is not much left of the monthly expenses that should have been secretly deducted by the subordinates who acted on the wind. with.

That night, Suxian slept very deeply, traveled through the wandering soul of the past and present, and came to the Da'an Dynasty where she had no knowledge of the previous life. She survived in this humble body. What kind of torrential rain and high wind is, everything is still unknown.

At the beginning of Mao, there was a faint fish maw in the sky, and the remaining birds in the sparrows sang lightly, Suxian lay quietly on the bed, her dark eyes stared out of the window through the broken window paper.

I exhaled lightly, no longer sleepy, got up and came to the window, pushed away the mottled window lattice, I wanted to take a deep breath of the moist air in the morning, but maybe the window lattice has not been opened for a long time, at this time I pushed it rashly, the dust accumulated above the window, poured Luoluo rushed towards him, choking Suxian into a sharp cough.

"Second Miss, are you awake? It's still early in the morning, you'd better take a rest." Cui Ya, who got up early in the yard, was disturbed by the coughing sound, and she was seen with a dark blue apron around her waist, shaking wild vegetables in her hand. The morning dew on the tip spoke softly to Suxian.

Suxian couldn't help but walk out of the room, took the wild vegetables from Cui Ya's hands, and said with a shy smile, "Picking wild vegetables again?"

The luster in Cui Ya's eyes darkened, she wiped wet Lulu's fingers lightly on the apron, and said softly helplessly, "Second miss is wronged, this servant went to the front yard several times a few days ago, but didn't I was given this month's expenses, and was scolded by Chen's mother. The wild vegetables in the yard are considered green, and the slaves picked some, and they can barely be mixed into side dishes for porridge. Tomorrow, the slaves will go to beg the steward, Chen's mother. , I hope she can be merciful and share some ingredients, otherwise we may not even be able to drink porridge."

While talking, Cuiya took the pitiful wild vegetables from Suxian's hands, turned around and walked to the small kitchen on the right side of the wing room, and continued, "It's cool in the morning, and the second lady will go back to her room to rest first. The porridge has been boiled, and this servant will bring you water to wash and wash, and you can have breakfast soon."

Seeing the back of Cuiya leaving, Suxian shook her head and smiled wryly. The dignified second lady of the Lin family was reduced to living in a shabby house, fed on wild vegetables, and was in short supply of firewood and rice. Times are predetermined.

After washing up, the master and the servant had a simple breakfast. Under Cuiya's service, Suxian picked a faded pleated skirt with light green trim and embroidery from the closet. It was left by her mother back then. A little more presentable clothing.

Although a pair of gray cloth embroidered shoes were washed fairly clean, the tops of the shoes had rough edges due to wearing them for too long.The long black hair is combed into a pair of double buns on the top of the head, without pearl flowers as ornaments, it looks extremely plain.

However, Suxian was so excited that she pulled out two pieces of light green ribbons from the knitting basket at the head of the bed, faced the old bronze mirror on the table, and casually tied them into simple bowknots. Suxian doesn't have much blood on her face, but she has a little more radiance.

Cuiya stared at Suxian blankly, her eyes full of disbelief.If such a big event happened yesterday, if it was in the past, the second young lady would hide in her room with a frowning face and wash her face with tears, so there would be no leisure time to dress herself up.

But at this time, the second young lady not only took out the clothes that she was reluctant to wear on weekdays, but even did not look in front of the bronze mirror for a long time to dress up meticulously, and there was no trace of worry in her clear eyes.

"Second Miss, why are you..." Cuiya whispered uncertainly.

"Why didn't you cry to death and cry to death, did you?"

After tidying up, Suxian looked back and smiled. Although the mirror surface was covered with patina, she could still see this little face clearly.

After being reborn, if Suxian had anything to be satisfied with, it would probably only have this delicate face.God treated her kindly, and finally gave her a good skin. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to go back to the previous life.

Even if there is a way to go back, with the bullet that was shot into the chest, Suxian believes that what awaits her is no longer a career as an iron-blooded special police officer, but also a blazing fire in the funeral parlor.

Fortunately, Suxian grew up in an orphanage since she was a child. Even the name of her previous life was given by the director of the orphanage.Now that God has arranged for her to come here, she will be at peace if she comes here.

Cuiya looked at Suxian with a blank expression, and silently nodded.

"Can crying solve the problem? If crying is useful, I have cried all these years when things happen. Why am I still despised by the old lady, neglected by my aunt, and bullied by my brothers and sisters?"

Su Xian pursed her lips and said softly, while walking out of the room, she turned her head and said to the dumbfounded Cui Ya, "It's useless to talk more, Cui Ya, accompany me to the main courtyard to pay my mother's respect."

Cuiya came back to her senses abruptly, hurriedly followed, and said anxiously, "But Second Miss, when you first moved to Quewan, the eldest lady said that you would not be allowed to go to the main courtyard to say hello, let alone yesterday We still escaped from the mansion privately, and if we go now, isn’t it right on the edge of the knife?”

"I used to be ignorant, and my mother sympathized with me when I was young, and deliberately avoided my morning and evening meditation, so I was so confused that I really didn't want to go. Now that I think about it, being filial before my knees, can I just say that I can avoid it."

Suxian stepped out of Quewan without looking back, and strode towards the Yulan Pavilion where the eldest lady Mo lived.
