Ling Ruo didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he woke up, his whole body was sore and his mouth was still burning. He vaguely saw a person with his back turned to him, and he quickly called out in a dry voice: "Water... I want water..."
Mo Yu, who was working, thought at first that he had heard wrongly. When he turned around and saw Ling Ruozhen waking up, he immediately showed a look of joy. He quickly poured a glass of water from the table and handed it to the bedside, "Girl, you are finally awake."
Ling Ruo didn't care to answer. She greedily drank the tea with Mo Yu's hand, which was like nectar to her. She drank it in one breath without quenching her thirst. She asked for another cup to relieve the thirst in her mouth.
"Did I sleep for a long time?" Mo Yu put two half-old cotton cushions behind Ling Ruo so that she could sit on them for a while. Ling Ruo remembered that she passed out at night, but it was bright outside today, so she wanted to at least sleep.
More than a night passed.
"Girl, you have been in a coma for four days. Your hands and feet are twitching from the fever and you are talking nonsense. I am so afraid that you will continue to sleep like this." As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and the black and blue eye sockets were particularly special.
obvious.
Ling Ruo was slightly startled. It turned out that she had unknowingly walked around the gate of hell. Unfortunately, King Yama refused to accept her and drove her back to the earth. She stroked her obviously thinner cheeks and looked at the ink.
Jade smiled kindly and said, "You have worked hard these days."
Mo Yu smiled sheepishly and said: "My slave is fine. As long as you are fine, girl, it will be fine. Besides, it is my duty to take care of my girl. By the way, my girl, are you hungry after sleeping for so long? Do you want me to serve you a bowl of porridge?"
Come?"
When she said that, Ling Ruo really felt empty in her stomach. She nodded and said, "That's fine."
Not long after Mo Yu left, he came in with a bowl of hot porridge and said softly: "Girl, my body has just changed and I can't eat greasy food. I need to eat something lighter. I added some salt to the porridge so that it won't be too bland. Girl, please
Eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you!" She smiled, like a lotus blooming in a pool in an instant, breathtakingly beautiful. Mo Yu stared at her blankly, and finally managed to say, "Girl, you are so beautiful, like a fairy."
, Fujin has not been as good-looking as you for years."
Ling Ruo's doubts were quickly explained. Sibeile Yinzhen was twenty-six years old this year. Thirteen years ago, he was ordered to marry Uranala, the daughter of the internal minister Fei Yanggu, as Fujin. The couple could not be called loving, but
They also treated each other with respect and treated each other as guests. Later, the young daughter of the governor of Hubei Province met with the supervisor.
Geng Dejin's daughters successively entered the mansion and were appointed as Fujins. Among them, the Nian family was the one who had just entered the mansion a few days ago, and was also the one Kangxi was referring to for marriage. Sibeile Mansion held a lantern and colorful banquet for seven days, and even Kangxi and Yinzhen's biological mother, Concubine De, was there.
When I came, even though I was just accepting Fujin's side, the pomp and circumstance was not much better than that of my direct descendant Fujin.
Mo Yu was sent to wait in the front yard at that time. She was lucky enough to meet Nian and was shocked. She had never known that a person could be so beautiful. She thought that no one could compare with Nian Fujin, but instead
She didn't want to meet another one so soon. In comparison, she liked the newcomer Gege better. She was pretty and had no airs, unlike Nian Fujin. She heard people waiting in the front yard occasionally talk about it.
It's not easy to serve.
Sibeile Mansion is divided into three roads: east, west, and middle. Each road has three courtyards. Ling Ruo currently lives in the backyard of the west road, which is called Lan Yue Ju. They are not like those side Fujins, who can generally live alone.
One place, Lanyueju, is the residence of all the people.
"What about you? Why are you working as an errand in the palace? Are you a family member or a prostitute?" Ling Ruo asked curiously. Mo Yu said a lot, but never related to herself.
Mo Yu played with the shiny braid tied with blue rope on her chest and tilted her head and smiled: "This slave just signed the contract of sale this year, but it was only signed for three years, not many days before the girl came here."
"Why do you have to sign a deed of betrayal? There is no one at home anymore?" Ling Ruo asked while drinking porridge. Maybe she was lonely or bored. In short, she liked talking to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu shook her head, "No, my parents are still alive, and I have a brother and a sister. My brother is already in his twenties this year and has passed the age of marrying a wife. He has never married because his family is too poor. How about this year?"
It is easy to say that a family is willing to marry their daughter to the elder brother, but it requires fifty taels of bride price. In order to collect the money for the elder brother, the slave will do it himself.
I am willing to sell myself to the Sibeile Mansion for three years. Although the Sibeile Mansion has strict rules, the treatment is also generous. In addition to the money for selling myself, the slave can also receive one or two months of money every month in the past three years. If I save enough for three years, I will get another three
Sixteen taels now, with this money, life at home will not be so tight." At this point, she smiled and arched her eyebrows, as if this was such a huge fortune.
Her innocent smile infected Ling Ruo. At this moment, the mood that had been depressed for several days seemed to clear up. Yes, people can live a very simple life sometimes. A piece of tile and a bowl of rice are enough to satisfy their needs.
Although she is unfortunate, there are many people who are more unfortunate than her. No matter where she is, she must try her best to live. Feeling sorry for herself can only make her loved ones angry and her enemies happy.
After figuring this out, the confusion in Ling Ruo's eyes disappeared, replaced by unprecedented determination.
Even though Mo Yu was a careless girl, she was keenly aware of Ling Ruo's changes at this moment, and said with a smile: "Did the girl think of something?
Ling Ruo brushed her long hair that was hanging behind her back and said calmly: "That's right, Mo Yu, tell me about Sibeile."
"Four Belles..." Mo Yu wrinkled her nose and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this. I've been in the mansion for more than a month, and I've only seen Si Belle once, and they're still far apart. I heard from the servants in the mansion.
Si Beile always has a straight face and rarely smiles. Many people are afraid of him..." She lowered her voice and leaned closer and whispered: "I also heard that someone in the capital nicknamed Si Beile 'Lengmian'.
elder brother'."
The cold-faced brother? Ling Ruo laughed dumbly, and the nickname he gave was so apt. She met Yinzhen twice, and each time he acted like a stranger and kept away from strangers. It was really hard to make people like him.
In comparison, the eighth prince, who is known as the "Wise King", has a much better reputation.
"Girl, if you can recover from your illness this time, you really should thank Wen Gege?"
"Wen Gege?" Ling Ruo knew that she was definitely not talking about Fourth Brother's daughter, but a woman of the same status as her.
"Yes." Mo Yu took Ling Ruo's half-eaten porridge and put it on the small table, and whispered: "The days when the girl was ill were the days when Nian Fujin came in, and the whole house was busy with Xin Fujin's visit.
No one paid any attention to us at all. The servant looked for us several times and was beaten back without even meeting the senior management.
My mother was dying of fever, and no one came to call the doctor. I really didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, Wen Gege saw it. After learning about it, he went to the executive’s family in person. For Wen Gege’s sake, the executive’s family sent someone to call her.
I asked the doctor to come and see her. After that, Wen Gege came to see her a few times, and I felt relieved knowing that the girl was fine."
Mo Yu didn't say that Ling Ruo didn't know about this, and felt a little cold in her heart. In the past, although she lived in poverty at home, Ama'er Niang always loved her and made her anxious even if she was slightly sick; now here,
A life that has been lived for fifteen years is nothing more than trivial matter in the eyes of others, and life and death do not matter at all.
Ling Ruo sighed in her heart, suppressed the pain in her heart and said with a smile: "I really need to thank this Wenger for this change tomorrow."
