Leaning on the rail and smiling at Liu Niang

The lady outside was fighting with Zhao Shiqing, but the inside of Xiaoxiangyuan naturally didn't know about it. After lying down for a few days after that, Liu Niang was almost recovered. A Li glanced at it and said that there was nothing serious, but Miss Xie, it was a whole day. She had a fever for three days and almost burned her to death. A Li came to see her a few times and thought Miss Xie was going to die. Thanks to Miss Zhang and a few maids who took good care of her, they kept bringing water to cool her down. I used a folk recipe to wipe her body with spirits again, which made her feel better.

Earlier, because Liu Niang dropped her head and was afraid of offending her, Ping Jun taught the maids not to tell her that Miss Xie was also injured. Tell her Miss Xie is still lying down.

Originally, Miss Xie is a little lady, and she likes to say harsh words to Liu Niang on weekdays, but everyone knows that she has no bad intentions, and she doesn't take it to heart, but Liu Niang didn't think that because of herself, She was involved and suffered such a big crime!If Liu Niang hadn't contradicted Zhao Shiqing at that time, Miss Xie hadn't recommended herself to the husband to save her, and the husband would not have gone to Miss Xie's place to rest, let alone if Liu Niang hadn't dragged Miss Xie to stay, she wouldn't even have Lang. You will never see your face.It can be said that Miss Xie's ordeal was all because of Liu Niang!

This is a great favor from Miss Xie!After listening to what Zhaodi said, Liu Niang felt that she was really sorry for Miss Xie, she sat on the couch like a needle cushion, got up and went to the east wing.

When they got to the door, they were rather timid, afraid of being scolded by Miss Xie, so Liu Niang dared not go in.

She was standing at the door hesitating, the door opened from the inside, and Miss Zhang was coming out of the door. She has been guarding the two girls day and night these days, although the lady herself often visits Liu Niang in the West Wing. , helped her save a lot of trouble, but Miss Xie is also very busy here, and she still has to take care of her own Erlang. It's embarrassing to say the least.

Miss Zhang was also taken aback when she saw Liu Niang, and then she forced a smile and said: "Liu Niang is better, this is good."

Seeing Miss Zhang like this, Liu Niang also felt very uncomfortable, and she couldn't hold back the words in her heart, so she opened her mouth and asked Miss Zhang: "Sister Zhang is blaming me? It's all my fault! I've hurt Jia Niang!"

Liu Niang was recuperating these days, and looked very pale. Miss Zhang looked at her little bloodless face, and sighed, her smile was a little less forced, and more sad: "What can I blame you for?" What's the matter? Could it be that you beat Jia Niang like this? I originally blamed you somewhat, but there are three people in our small incense house who depend on each other, and you want to blame me and I blame you. What do you look like? If you think Jia Niang is pitiful, don't show it in front of her, you know her temperament, how can you bear others to pity her."

Liu Niang wanted to cry when she said this, she nodded, and replied: "I won't show it, don't worry, Sister Zhang, you go to rest, let me take care of Jia Niang!"

Miss Zhang was going back to her room to wash and change clothes, so she complied with the situation after hearing this, and she had to tell Liu Niang not to work too hard, as she was just getting better.

Liu Niang just went in in such a daze, she was still a little nervous, but when she saw Miss Xie lying quietly on the couch from a distance, her face that always had a lively expression was Mumu. Yes, guilt and guilt hit her like a tidal wave.

Seeing her coming, Ah Yong guessed that he had something private to say to Miss Xie, so he quietly retreated tactfully.

Liu Niang stepped forward and sat down on the couch lightly, and said in a low voice, "Jia Niang."

Miss Xie seemed to be taken aback, blinked her eyes, and looked at Liu Niang blankly, she seemed to realize that it was Liu Niang who came to see her after watching for a while, with an embarrassing expression on her face. At the corner of his mouth, he said softly: "It's you, did you come to see my joke?"

Liu Niang really couldn't bear what she said, and she was about to cry on the spot. Fortunately, she remembered that both of them were patients, so she swallowed her tears and said angrily, "What are you talking about? What relationship do you have with me? Why do you want to see me?" Your joke?"

Miss Xie heard Liu Niang say this, rolled her eyes weakly, turned her head away and said: "It seems that I have a good relationship with you."

You don't have a good relationship with me, why do you defend me and make yourself suffer so much?Liu Niang thought in her heart, but she didn't want to provoke Miss Xie, so she coaxed her: "Anyway, I always think that we have a good relationship, even if you don't recognize me, you still think so!"

After hearing this, Miss Xie felt a little bit of joy in her numb heart, but she didn't want to show a good face, so she just said with a straight face, "What a cheeky little lady, I don't want to talk to you." .”

With tears in her eyes, Liu Niang said with a smile: "I'm just so thick-skinned. When I entered this mansion, I had a close relationship with your sisters in the previous life, and I will be sisters together in this life!"

The sweet words of Miss Xie were so annoying, she turned around and buried her face in the quilt, don't let Liu Niang see the faint smile on her face.For a moment neither of them spoke, and there was a peaceful silence in the room.

After a while, Liu Niang thought that Miss Xie had fallen asleep, and was thinking of tucking her quilt in, she might as well hear Miss Xie muffled in the quilt and said: "I know you feel guilty, you think it's because You made me suffer, it's unnecessary, I also have selfish desires to earn my husband's favor, so you don't have to feel that you owe me anything."

Liu Niang's hand stopped in mid-air, and was about to refute her, Miss Xie continued: "I want to earn his favor, not for myself, my mother died early, leaving behind a few younger brothers Sister, I am the eldest sister, and my father married a stepmother, who was not good to us, so I naturally had a bad temper to fight with my stepmother. Later, the family was defeated, and the family had to rely on the stepmother’s dowry to live on. Naturally, she didn't like it, so she sold me, and if she sold me, she would sell me, and sooner or later she would be sold if she lived under her, but my younger brothers and sisters are still there."

Miss Xie paused and took a breath, as if she was a bit tired after saying all these words in one breath, she turned her head and saw the sunlight coming in from the window quietly, the printed quilt was divided into light and dark halves, some fine dust was visible to the naked eye Floating in the golden warm sun, she stretched out her hand in a daze to touch the sun, but when her fingertips just touched it, she retracted like an electric shock.

Her gaze was fascinated by the golden halo, and she murmured to herself: "It's okay if I live like this, but what about my younger siblings, I can help them if they are favored, and they can't help it." So young, can you just watch your stepmother sell them one by one for money?"

Miss Xie looked desperately at Liu Niang, who was shrouded in sunlight and her figure was gilded with gold, she shrank herself into the shadow as much as possible, and sighed: "Now I understand, people have to accept their fate, and don't ask those who you beg I can't help them with things that don't come, and I can't go back to fight with my stepmother, I can't do these things."

These words consumed her too much energy, her vision gradually became blurred, and she slowly fell into a lethargic sleep.

Liu Niang wiped her tears, stepped forward to cover her with the quilt, and silently stood aside.

In the afternoon, Ping Jun asked Xing Ren'er to help her write posts in the main courtyard. Zhao Shiqing said that if he wanted to hold a gathering, he would do it. The posts he wrote to the hostess, Ping Jun wrote to the wives. The public gatherings are nothing more than getting together to enjoy the flowers, the moon, reciting poems and having fun, and it is best to have good wine and beautiful people to add to the fun. It is still popular in Chang'an City that everyone dances to the elegant music together.

That's it.

With a smile on the corner of Ping Jun's mouth, she looked at the name cards sent by Zhao Shiqing in front of her. She looked at them one by one, and the more she looked, the happier she was. She smiled and asked Xingren'er: "You said he invited these people, will they come?"

Those were all the sons and sons who had the best relationship with Zhao's father when he was still alive.

Xing Ren'er jokingly said: "They must all come, after all, Lang Jun is on good terms with them!"

Sure enough, these words made Jun Ping giggle, A Li and others also laughed along, the atmosphere in the room was just right, a little maid came outside to report something, Li Zi went out to look.

When she came back, her expression was a bit complicated, and she said to Ping Junfu: "Miss Li came here to pay my respects to my wife."

Hearing this, Ping Jun couldn't help sitting up straighter, and replied: "Let her in quickly, that's good, why are you just walking around!"

Li Zi was ordered to go out and bring Liu Niang over. Liu Niang has lost weight recently, her clothes are a bit big on her body, and her chin has lost its roundness. The sharp chin looks more watery against the eyes. When she saw Mr. Ping, The expression on her face was one of gratitude and admiration. She took care of Miss Xie in the morning, and after returning home, she thought about all the kindness Ping Jun had done to her during her illness. Coming over to pay respects to Mr. Xie Ping, she stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Liu Niang came over to thank you!"

Ping Jun stood up and helped her up, he said with some displeasure, "Why do you do such a great gift? Does it seem to be born out of place?"

Ping Jun leaned a little closer to Liu Niang, the scent from her body went straight to Liu Niang's nose, thinking that Ping Jun personally applied medicine and changed her clothes when he was sick, I don't know why Liu Niang's face turned red , looking at Ping Jun with shame in his eyes: "Young lady, Liu Niang dare not forget this kindness."

Ping Jun is also dressed in the homely way in the house, her hair is loosely rolled up, leaving a few strands of hair playfully hanging on her shoulders, her face is lightly rouged, there is a little affection between the brows, and she is staring at him intently. Looking at Liu Niang, she said, "Since you are so grateful to me, why don't you promise me something?"

Liu Niang didn't know what bewitched her, she moved a little closer to Ping Jun, and murmured: "Okay! Everything is fine!"

Ping Jun laughed, stretched out his hand and tapped her nose, and said to the quail-shaped maidservants in the room: "Go and get that sword."

Xing Ren'er hurriedly backed away and went to the next door to get something.

Only then did Liu Niang come back to her senses, she felt that she was speaking without thinking, so she took a step back with a blushing face, and turned her head to see what Xing Ren'er was bringing over.

After a while Xing Ren'er came over with a long and narrow box, Jun Ping took it and opened it for Liu Niang to see, inside was a small sword with a tassel on the hilt.

She handed the sword box in front of Liu Niang, and said with a smile: "Come and practice swords with me every day from now on, you should practice well with your small body, otherwise you won't be hurt so badly this time. .”

That sword was obviously tailor-made for Liu Niang, the blade was smooth and compact, quite suitable for her daughter's household.
