Li Chengchen tapped his fingers on the table and glanced at her lightly, Guan Yi flinched in fear: "I don't want clothes anymore, and you can't kill me either."

"What should I do with your life?"

"You won't kill me?"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her leisurely. Guan Yi knelt on the ground and tugged at the corner of his clothes: "I haven't left the palace to get married yet, and I don't want to die yet. Do you know how difficult it is for me to live? Not enough to wear and not warm and often beaten, father does not love mother or mother, and looks so ugly..."

As she spoke, she felt aggrieved and bitter in her heart, feeling that she was really pitiful, sobbing: "I am so pitiful, there is no one in this world who treats me well, and I still work so hard to live."

The hand holding the corner of his robe was too hard, and the back of the hand was cracked with frostbite. The dark red blood slowly spread down the back of the hand to the palm, dripping on the purple robe and blooming red plum blossoms. Li Chengchen said coldly: "I have been thinking about it all day Thinking about something messy."

"Don't you think I'm very pitiful?"

"Not pitiful." His fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly, his knuckles turned white, and there was hidden emotion in his eyes that Guan Yi couldn't understand.

She suddenly realized, no, she was begging him not to kill her, isn't it pitiful?Still want her life!

"Elder-in-law, save my life. I will serve you for the rest of my life. I am very worry-free and easy to support..."

"Forever? Not leaving the palace?"

"I..." I'm so stupid, I want to slap myself when I speak without thinking, she wants to leave the palace even in her dreams, the lonely years in the palace are too far away for a lifetime, take one step at a time and deal with the present first, and there are still tears on her cheeks She cast a self-conscious wink at him, "What the father-in-law says is what he says."

"stand up!"

He rubbed his sore forehead, Guan Yi stood up and flattered him: "Shall I squeeze your shoulders, or pat your back?"

He waved his hand to stop her movement, and An Ran stood where she was before she could clearly see the back of her bloody hand, glanced at the blood on the corner of his clothes, unconsciously took a step back and said in horror: "I didn't mean to."

Li Chengchen got up and went to the bookshelf to get a carved wooden box, put it on the table and opened it, inside were neatly placed bottles and cans of different colors, and clean cotton cloth was rolled in the small grid on the side: "Wrap it yourself." .”

"Give it to me? I...I..." She looked at him flattered for a long time before saying embarrassedly, "I don't know which one to use."

He reached out and put a long-necked white porcelain bottle in front of her, walked to the bed indifferently and took off the purple robe outside. Thin cold sweat oozes from his face, neither crying nor crying.

Biting the cotton cloth hastily wrapped it, the so-called crying, making troubles and hanging herself three times, the last one is too dangerous, it is better not to implement it, the first two are her magic weapons for victory, suddenly saw the blood stains accidentally dripping on the cuff Yi stomped his feet distressedly: "I ruined my new clothes just like that."

"Just a piece of clothing."

"When I was young, I always wanted to wear new clothes, but my family was very poor. A piece of clothing could be worn for several years, patched and patched until it was too small to wear anymore. When I was eight years old, I was sent to a brothel to work as a handyman for five years. , I secretly saved a lot of money, and the day I escaped, I thought I must buy myself a new dress."

Her two hands were wrapped like two rice dumplings, she stuck out her tongue and said with a smirk: "I saw a beautiful dress in the tailor's shop, which was embroidered with my favorite black camellia. The winter was very cold that year. Just like now, but I saw that my clothes were still wearable, so I was not willing to buy them, so I bought my brother a tiger hat, a set of cotton clothes, and a pair of little boots that he has been thinking about for a long time, he is very happy."

"No parent would be willing to send their daughter to a brothel."

"My younger brother is sick and has no money to see a doctor. When he grows up, he has to be sent to a private school, where he earns more money."

Li Chengchen looked sideways slightly, those clean and pure eyes annoyed him, he didn't know if she really didn't know or pretended not to know, she must understand, otherwise why did you run away: "How did you get into the palace?"

"The daughter of the landlord's family was selected to be a maid in the palace, and they gave my family a sum of money to let me enter the palace instead of her."

The country gentry has no worries about food and clothing, and those who love their daughter don’t need to send her to the palace to suffer, and no one would go to find out the root cause, so she managed to get away with it. She rested her chin for a long time and didn’t hear the answer: " Did I say something wrong again?"

Still no reply, she tiptoed to the side of the bed and found that he seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, she helped him tuck the quilt and was about to leave when he turned over and said indifferently: "Some words come to me. Stop it!"

"Oh."

She spread out her pleated skirt and lay on the cold ground, leaning towards the stove. She didn't know what she said, probably because he was good-looking, and she was very willing to talk to him, although most of the time he looked I'm too lazy to talk to her, will she be safe and sound in the future?Fortunately, okay, her life was temporarily saved.

Before dawn the next day, Li Chengchen stared at the empty ground in a daze. The door squeaked, and Guan Yi was so cold that his teeth were chattering and he rubbed his hands and let out a breath: "Elder-in-law, you're awake."

Xiao Songzi brought hot water for Li Chengchen to wash up as usual: "Elder-in-law, it's windy outside, add more clothes."

Li Chengchen put on his clothes, tied his belt, wiped his hands with a handkerchief and asked, "Why don't you go back to Huanyifang?"

"Always say hello to you."

"Miss Guan Yi woke up early to wash clothes for her father-in-law." Xiao Songzi put a bowl of steaming rice porridge and a stack of steamed buns on the table and said, "I didn't use dinner last night, my father-in-law has something to eat before going to Tenglong Court!"

He glanced at her frozen carrot-like fingers and looked away, sitting on a round stool and drinking millet porridge slowly, while Guan Yi stared at Baozi, licked his lips and swallowed: "Elder-in-law, you still have What work do you want me to do?"

Li Chengchen looked at the bed, she would make the bed neatly and tidy up, and then quickly cleaned the bedroom and changed the water for the four season bamboo in the plum vase. While holding the plum vase, she kept chanting Amitabha in her heart , Then thought about it, if she could take it away when she left the palace, it would cost 3000 taels of silver, oh my god, she still found it incredible when she thought about it, and couldn't help laughing.

"Are you interested in plum vases?"

She is obviously more interested in the buns on the plate than the bottle right now, okay?Guan Yi slowly moved his hands away from the plum vase, took a step back to confirm that it would not fall, and then wiped off his cold sweat and turned his head with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will break it, you will pay me if you sell me." Sorry."

"Well said."

It is also very sad that people live to her level, ten of them are not worth a broken bottle, no!It's a hundred!wrong!It should be a thousand, seems like a lot, wait, how much can she sell for?

"Eunuch, do you think I have done a lot of work?"

He nodded.

"Is it okay?"

He nodded again, and Guan Yi happily moved over to stare at Baozi and said, "Can you give me a reward?"

He picked up a steamed bun with bamboo chopsticks, and under her expectant gaze he...he...he put it in his mouth and took a bite, meat bun!It turned out to be meat buns!

"Unappetizing."

unpalatable?How could it be bad?Too picky!She didn't even eat the meat buns, she looked at the meat buns pitifully, Xiao Songzi couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly: "Young lady, are you hungry?"

Her eyes lit up and she nodded desperately. Li Chengchen put down the bamboo chopsticks and wiped his hands: "Come here every night from now on."

"Really?"

"Just tell Cao Shun the truth."

"Yes."

She walked to the door and saluted respectfully and said with a smile, "Send off Eunuch."

Turning around, looking straight at the meat buns on the table, he asked, "Can I have one?"

"Please go ahead, girl, I'll get you another bowl of rice porridge."

Xiao Songzi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and walked quickly to the small kitchen. When he turned around with the rice porridge, he stared at the empty plate and said, "Have you been hungry for a long time?"

"It's delicious. I haven't had enough food for a long time. Is there any more?"

"You've eaten five."

It seems that Li Chengchen only drank a bowl of rice porridge and took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun. He seemed to be better off than her, so I was a little embarrassed, but he didn't just drink half a bowl of rice porridge and said vaguely: "Elder-in-law, he not hungry?"

"My father-in-law has lost his appetite recently."

She curled her lips, she lost her appetite for such delicious meat buns: "Thank you little eunuch, I'm full."

"You can just call me Xiaosongzi."

"Then you can call me Guan Yi." As he spoke, he took out the unfinished purple robe yesterday and threaded the needle, "Xiao Songzi, did people often send court ladies to the courtyard before?"

"Elder-in-law Xijing, no one dared to send someone to the yard in the past two years."

It seemed that what Lu Hai said was right, she sewed a few stitches and said hesitantly, "Then do you know what happened to the maid who was sent here?"

"Never seen."

Never seen it?Could it be... she was dripping with cold sweat, she must be obedient and obedient in the future, begging him desperately and crying at the right time, it seems that crying is particularly effective for him, does it mean that she looks particularly miserable when she cries?

"Xiao Songzi, tell me about your father-in-law's preferences. I'm afraid that one day I will accidentally offend my father-in-law and make him unhappy."

"My father-in-law is indifferent, has no preferences, doesn't like to be noisy, and hates women crying."

Guan Yi laughed twice: "Really, I remember."

The author has something to say: Guan Yi: Father-in-law, don’t kill me!

Xiao Songzi: Are you overdoing it?
