The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(8)

Yan Jie'er was stabbed so hard that it hurt, but she didn't dare to resist. Her face was full of reluctance: "You said I'm going to get married soon. If I don't take good care of myself, I'll be laughed at when I get married. By the way, mother, have you mentioned to your brother about going to the Chen family to negotiate?"

Li looked annoyed: "You little girl, how can you mention this now? If you mention it, your sister-in-law will make trouble with me again. After Yao Niang leaves, I will tell your brother."

"Then you should do it as soon as possible."

Li glared at her daughter angrily and went back to the house. Yan Jie'er leaned against the door and looked outside. Seeing that there was no movement in the main room and the east wing was quiet, she quietly left the house.

She went out of the alley and turned into a remote alley.

As soon as she reached the door of a house, she was dragged in by a figure that rushed out from inside.

It was a dark-skinned boy. He was not tall, but he was very strong and looked like a small mountain.

This person is exactly the black boy Feng Heizi mentioned by Li.

Yan Jieer was frightened by him and said unhappily: "Why did you ask Maodan to call me out?"

Feng Heizi smiled, "I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you so much."

Yan Jieer looked at him with some disdain, "My mother doesn't let me go out recently, and my brother also keeps a close eye on me, saying that you are the ones who taught me bad things."

Feng Heizi said: "You asked me to help you with that matter, you can't put all the responsibility on me..." Seeing Yan Jieer glaring at him, he quickly changed his tone: "Okay, okay, I can't stand her bullying you, so I'm here to vent your anger, okay? By the way, you agreed at the beginning that if I help you with this matter, you have to kiss me."

As he said that, he chuckled twice and moved his face closer to Yan Jieer.

Yan Jieer pushed him away impatiently, "Go away, I'm going to get married in the future, how can I mess around with you."

"Who else do you want to marry besides me?"

"It won't be you anyway, I'll leave if nothing happens, so as not to let your mother come back and see you later." There are only two people in the Feng family now, Feng Heizi and his mother Feng Guafu. Feng Heizi's father died early, and Feng Guafu raised him by working hard outside to wash clothes for others.

Yan Jieer hadn't taken two steps when she was fiercely pulled back. When she looked up, she met Feng Heizi's big black face.

"Maodan said you liked a boy, but that boy liked your sister-in-law's sister, so you..." Feng Heizi frowned, his eyes were a little scary: "Tell me the truth, is it true or not?"

For some reason, Yan Jieer felt a little flustered.

She thought of what Feng Heizi did on weekdays. He gathered a group of street hooligans to cheat and deceive people everywhere, causing trouble, and breaking people's hands and feet. Recently, he went to a brothel in Liuxiang to work as a thug. Suddenly, she realized that this person was no longer the black boy who grew up with her and let her do whatever she wanted because she liked her.

"Don't listen to Maodan's nonsense. I don't go out usually. I only know you and Maodan. Where did I go to see a boy?" She pretended to be impatient and begged at the same time: "I really can't delay. I came out secretly without telling my mother. If my brother knew, he would break my legs. I will come out to see you when I have time."

This time, Feng Heizi didn't stop her again. She hurried out of the Feng family's gate.

But Feng Heizi looked at her back with a sinister look, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li couldn't bear her curiosity and secretly asked Yao Cheng.

Yao Cheng couldn't stand his mother's nagging, so he told her the truth.

When Li learned that Yao Niang had such a good thing, working in the palace and getting so much money every month, she immediately got angry and asked Yao Cheng to take Yan Jie'er to the palace as a maid.

Yao Cheng was very impatient: "To be a maid in the palace, you have to sign a contract to sell yourself. Are you willing to let Yan Jie'er be a maid for the rest of her life? And now she is so old, people don't want such a big maid."

"Then how can Yao Niang go?"

Yao Cheng said patiently: "Yao Niang is going to be a wet nurse."

Li muttered: "It's not a big girl, but there are such benefits..."

Yao Cheng left without listening to the next words, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but beat his mother.

Because of this incident, Li was in front of Hui Niang and Yao Niang early the next morning. She was also very attentive. She prepared breakfast early in the morning and said that she knew Yao Niang was leaving today, so she made a good meal to send her off.

Yao Niang couldn't help but glance at her. If someone showed her kindness for no reason, he was either a thief or a thief. But she was leaving today and didn't want to cause any trouble, so she ate breakfast in silence, pretending that she didn't see Li.

"Yao Niang, you said that you are different from ordinary people now that you have entered the palace. You are paid so much, and you put Xiaobao in our house. Don't you have to give us some subsidies?" While Yao Cheng went out to see if Liu Mama's car had arrived, Li finally got to the point.

Upon hearing this, Hui Niang was annoyed: "Mother, Xiaobao drinks my milk, not yours. I am my sister's child and I am willing to nurse him as an aunt, but you still ask for subsidies from others!"

Li hummed unhappily: "That is my Hong Ge'er's rations. I am Hong Ge'er's grandmother. Do you think you can take care of my business?" She also knew that once her son came in, this matter would not be settled, so she didn't argue with Hui Niang and went straight to Yao Niang. She knew that Yao Niang was an honest person and easier to deal with than Hui Niang.

"Just tell me, Yao Niang, are you going to give the money or not?"

Yao Niang kept her eyes lowered. When she heard this, she raised her eyes. There was no expression on her face, but her hands under the table were clenched tightly.

"Here, don't worry, auntie, I will send money back every month when I get it."

After Mrs. Li received a satisfactory answer, she turned around and left. She was probably afraid that Hui Niang would make trouble with her.

Hui Niang said anxiously: "Yao Niang, what do you want to do with her? Xiaobao is my nephew, can I care if you ask for money?"

Yao Niang grabbed her hand and whispered: "Sister, listen to me, I have caused you too much trouble. She is your mother-in-law after all. If she is not happy, Xiaobao will not be happy living here. , I can’t let you quarrel with her every day. You also know that after entering the palace, the monthly salary is high, and you don’t care about such a small amount. Once I leave, I don’t know when I will come back. Xiaobao will have to point to you when dressing and eating. , These are all paid for with money. I feel uneasy if Xiaobao lives and eats here for free. "

Huiniang's face was filled with grief and she didn't know what to say.

She understands her sister's thoughts and doesn't want to get into trouble or embarrass her. But for such a sensible and considerate sister, why in the world does she have such blind eyes?

Huiniang asked herself this question countless times, but could not get an answer. She could only hold her sister and cry reluctantly.

In fact, Yao Niang did not do anything on this day. She told herself countless times not to cry again. Crying will not solve the problem. She should try to make herself laugh. But at this time, I couldn't hold back my tears.

Yao Cheng rushed in from outside and saw this scene.

"Why are you crying? By the way, Mother Liu's car is here."

Yao Niang hurriedly wiped away her tears and wiped Hui Niang's face before standing up and going to the inner room to see Xiao Bao again. Xiaobao was sleeping soundly, his little mouth curled up and down, as if he was still sucking his mother's milk in his sleep.

Yao Niang didn't dare to look anymore, grabbed a small baggage next to her, turned around and ran out.

After getting in the car, Hui Niang grabbed the window and talked nonchalantly, telling Yao Niang to pay attention to her health, not to worry about her family, and to come back when she had time. If her errands were not good, she would come back. The family could not lack her food.

Yao Niang nodded repeatedly, with tears in her eyes.

It was Mother Liu who was really impatient and interrupted, saying it was getting late. Only then did Madam Hui let go of her grip on the car window.

The horse trotted forward, beating a beautiful rhythm on the bluestone road.

Yao Niang got her head out of the car window and said to Hui Niang who was still standing outside the door: "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Come in quickly."

Huiniang nodded with tears in her eyes.

Seeing her sister and her husband's figures getting smaller and smaller, until they were no longer visible, Yao Niang turned around and sat down in the carriage. Mother Liu looked at her with a smile: "Okay, wipe your tears quickly, this is something no one else can ask for." It's a good job, but it doesn't mean you can't come back. If you work in the house, you will have one day off every month, so you can come back and see when the time comes. "

"Um."

There is a row of houses located at the back door of Prince Jin's Mansion, covering a large area. Most of the people living here are servants of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Liu's mother's home is also here.

When she came back, she saw that the man Hu Lai was not there either. She tidied up the messy house, then put on a pair of brand new clothes and left the house.

Mother Liu was in a good mood, with a smile on her face and wind on her feet as she walked. Others were curious, "Are you from the Hu Lai family picking up gold?"

There is really no room for curiosity. Ever since Hu Lai, the man who beat Liu's mother, lost his job and got involved in gambling, her temper has become worse day by day. She rarely comes back, and every time she comes back, she has a big quarrel with Hu Lai. One plane. This time Liu's mother returned to her parents' home. Her husband Hu Lai had not been seen for many days. The families living here were next to each other. If something happened nearby, the neighbors would know about it. Naturally, they knew that Hu Lai was gambling again. If you get it, you probably won't lose your talent and won't be able to make a fortune.

I thought that Hu Lai's family would cause another big fuss when they came back, but who would have thought that instead of being annoyed, she would be so happy, which is surprising.

Mother Liu glanced sideways at the old woman who was waiting to see her joke, and said with a smile: "I didn't pick up gold, but stepped on stinky dog ​​shit. Why do you think that dog shit is so annoying? You just hit people when you touch it." Heel up!"
