Mother shook her head, "No, Sister Du must be true to her word. You have to believe Sister Du. She may have something to do temporarily and has returned to the factory." Although she said this, she didn't want to worry her. For Du Juan,
His sudden departure made her heart full of doubts.
"There's no such thing as pie in the sky! You two should be more awake!" Dad's voice came from outside the house, which startled the mother in the back room. "Who would help us for no reason!"
"What are you doing! My mother is still here, and she actually said such things. The matter is not clear yet, so don't conclude it easily. The entire Daming Palace knows the rules of Jinghuafang, but you don't know! Furthermore, even if she really doesn't help,
My dear, that is also my duty."
"No more, no more, I can't defeat you!"
"Alas!" Although my mother said nothing, she was extremely worried, "What should I do?"
But at this time, the main hall of Jinghuafang was very lively. Four women surrounded Du Juan with expressionless faces. As soon as the door of the main hall was closed and the aunt in charge left, one of the women suddenly took Du Juan's hand.
, the cold face was suddenly filled with a smile, "I heard from the aunt in charge, are you going out today?"
"Yes... that's right." I'm afraid these people have something... Du Juan was completely confused. The four women should be the confidants of the aunt in charge. They just obeyed her orders, but now this reversal is too big.
!
"Tell us, what's good outside here? Is the market in Damingfu busy? Is it big?" The woman holding Du Juan's hand continued to ask. Du Juan didn't know how to answer, but she saw the market this morning.
, but I spent more time dragging my little girl to hide from the officers and soldiers.
"Don't scare me!" The woman on the side stopped Feng Feng Huohuo's companion, "Du... Du Xiu Niang, did you scare me?"
"No, no..." Du Juan shook her head dullly. Was she holding back something bad with such a reversal? At first she thought so, and then she felt that this was an opportunity to get to know Jinghuafang and the aunt in charge.
, "I can tell you about the lively market, but I have a condition."
"It doesn't matter if you say so."
"You have also seen that I accidentally bumped into my aunt. You are so close to my aunt. If you don't tell me about her, my memory will also improve. I will know how to communicate with her next time." Du Juan thought.
Knowing the aunt in charge, there must be a reason why she is like this now, and all she has done is just to bring the young lady into Jinghuafang in the future.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Everyone agreed readily. Du Juan secretly rejoiced. It wasn't until she heard the stories of these four women that she understood everything.
The four women were brought back from Bianjing by the aunt in charge. The one who held Du Juan's hand like a cow just now was named Ruofeng, the woman who was holding her back was named Ruohua, and the remaining two were named Ruoxue and Ruoyue respectively.
, the four-member team formed the reputation of "Feng Hua Snow Moon", but their life experience made Du Juan cry.
Listening to what Ruohua said, "The four of us are biological sisters. Our family has been relatively prosperous since we were young, and our family lived a happy life. However, the good times did not last long. In the sixteenth year of the year, there was a disaster in our hometown, and our parents were in trouble."
Difficulty. The four of us were adopted by a neighbor's uncle for one year. Then because the uncle owed money to the landlord, he sold the four of us to Huayulou in Bianjing. Finding a living in this land of fireworks is like going to heaven. Fortunately, the four of us have been accustomed to it since we were young.
I learned how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and with this skill, Hua Yulou agreed to let us perform arts. Until I was eighteen years old, I met my aunt and told her that her husband had been made a general, the palace had given him a mansion, and he was in urgent need of four maids to serve him.
So he redeemed us and demoted us from low status. I thought that our lives had been changed, but I never thought that my aunt was very controlling and grounded us and asked her husband to teach us swordsmanship, martial arts, and eighteen types of weapons. Now we are proficient in all of them.
Practice martial arts well."
Du Juan didn't expect that she would be chatting with them, "Isn't that good? Learning martial arts will help you make a living."
Ruoyue took the words, "What Du Xiu Niang said is that we originally thought the same way. Auntie's original purpose was also to let us learn to protect ourselves. After we learn, there will be more maids in the house, and we will no longer serve auntie.
When we went to say goodbye to our aunt, bad news came from outside that the general had died in battle, so the matter was put on hold for the time being. At that time, the Jin Kingdom invaded the Song Dynasty border, and the war against foreigners was endless. The general and his hundreds of men
The soldiers became loyal souls. After that, my aunt seemed to have changed. She began to have no emotions. She would punish us if she didn't like us. Later, she even formulated family laws and regulations. Within half a year, we became physically weak.
There is no good spot.”
"Why don't you leave? She treated you like this, why are you still following her wholeheartedly?" Du Juan sympathized with the four people's life experience, which was an unexpected gain.
"We want revenge!" Ruoxue said coldly. There was no sadness about the past on her face. She looked at everyone and said decisively again, "It is precisely because we want revenge! So we are waiting in hibernation now.
When we get a chance, we will definitely kill her!"
"This..." Du Juan could see the anger bursting out of Ruoxue's eyes, as well as a trace of sadness.
Ruofeng was no longer the enthusiastic imitator just now. She didn't want to mention this past incident. Over the years, they didn't know who to mention it to, until they were behind the screen at the side door just now and saw Du Juan defying power and talking back to the aunt in charge.
At that time, they felt that their opportunity had come! Ruofeng was a little older and was the elder sister of the four sisters. “We thought about leaving and getting married, but at that time we also wanted to repay the kindness and spend time with our aunt.
During the most difficult time, I knew that even though we were from humble backgrounds, we could not go against our destiny. My aunt took us in. She was originally kind. Although we were grounded and forced to practice martial arts, we could take care of each other with our aunt, providing food and clothing.
Worry-free, we were willing to share some housework with my aunt. But later, a year after Mr. aunt left, we said goodbye to her again, wanting to go to the market to find a comfortable life, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life. My aunt immediately
I agreed, but she..."
Ruofeng cried! She cried so silently, she sobbed softly, and the three sisters hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes.
Du Juan didn't know how to comfort the four of them, Ruoxue said hurriedly, "Don't cry, it will be bad when the officers and soldiers are called in!"
"Sorry, I lost my temper." Ruofeng wiped his tears, took a deep breath, and said expressionlessly, "She made us no longer women!"
"No longer...a woman?" Du Juan didn't understand what Ruofeng meant.
"I clearly remember that day, when the four of us went to my aunt to say goodbye, my aunt readily agreed and poured a bowl of wine for each of us to say goodbye. But after drinking the wine..."
Ruofeng clearly remembered that the four people fainted due to the severe pain not long after drinking sake. When they woke up again, their aunt looked at them coldly and said after a long time, "Are you all awake?
"
The four of them suffered from unbearable pain in their abdomens, but they did not blame their aunt at that time until the aunt herself explained everything, "Is the pain unbearable?"
The sisters were shocked, Ruoxue asked quickly, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?"
"Hahaha..." After laughing a few times, they remembered clearly that their aunt told them with tears.
"What exactly did you do to us!" Ruofeng asked weakly, "Didn't you promise to let us go?"
