chapter Five
It was noon the next day that Yu Xiang woke up from the chaos again. The room was quiet and no one was waiting. Outside the door, the sound of the big girl talking to a few mothers was heard. When it was heard, she was laughing and laughing, which sounded very happy.
Yu Xiang frowned and shouted, "Come on, pour me water."
The laughter outside the door stopped for a moment, as if he hadn't heard it, and continued again.
Yu Xiang's face was gloomy, and he pressed his anger and shouted again, "Come on, pour me water!"
"Here you come, here you come!" A big girl entered the door with an impatient look on her face.
The teapot was already cold after being left overnight. Yu Xiang repeatedly warned himself that this was the Yongle Marquis' Mansion, not the small home of him and his brother. Then he suppressed his heart and swallowed the bitter tea one by one.
"Wipe my face." She put down the teacup and ordered coldly.
The big girl rolled her eyes secretly, and did not take action after going out, and ordered two new little girls to come in to serve her. Because Yu Xiang did not like her wife and the old lady, her only brother ignored her. Although she did not have to worry about food and clothing, she did not have the respect she deserved. Even Yu Siyu lived a comfortable life than her. After all, the girls and mothers around her were left by her aunt, which was easy to use.
The two big girls around Yu Xiang were even more stylish than her, not to mention the old wet nurse, who always treated her as a bastard.
The two little girls were very respectful and their hands were also neat. They wiped Yu Xiang's exposed skin cleanly. They went out to change a pot of hot tea and brought it to their master.
Yu Xiang then let out a breath of turbid air, and his gloomy face cleared a little. If my brother was still there, how could anyone dare to neglect her like this? I can't think about it anymore, tears came out again when I thought about it.
She was held in her palm by her brother in her previous life and had never encountered any setbacks. She had developed a delicate temper, tears and a calm temperament. But when she got here, she lived a frustrated life. She had to think twice about everything and endure it, and she was almost practicing to become a ninja turtle!
The nose felt sore, and Yu Xiang quickly raised his chin to prevent tears from falling. No one felt sorry for him, so who would cry for? It would be better to save money and use the places that should be used.
After sitting for a while, the big girl led the two little girls in, one serving medicine and the other serving porridge, which were all steaming. Instructed the two to put the bowl on the table, the big girl said in a salty and unpretentious manner, "Miss, drink the medicine first and then drink the porridge."
"I won't drink. You stay and let the two little girls go out." Yu Xiang leaned against the soft pillow and closed his eyes.
The big girl waved her hand and asked the two of them to go out, took a few steps forward, and continued, "Miss, take the medicine. It will be cold later, but it will be out of myrrh."
Yu Xiang opened his eyes, and his deep pupils burst out with cold air. He spoke word by word, "If you don't drink, you don't drink. Why are you so annoying?" As soon as he finished speaking, his fingertips had already picked up the tray and knocked over a bowl of medicinal soup and a bowl of hot porridge.
The boiling water that had just been released could burn a layer of flesh on the skin. The girl immediately avoided and screamed in surprise, which caused the girls and women outside the house to come in to check.
Yu Xiang's face was completely relieved after a morning of gloomy face. He wiped his hands slowly with a veil, "Go to the front yard to find my brother, and I said I would not take medicine, so he asked him to think of a solution."
The big girl started calling out as soon as she came back from her fright, "The Marquis must be in the study at this moment. If you go to disturb me, you will be given a board. Please don't make things difficult for us servants!"
Everyone nodded and agreed, but saw a new little girl volunteering to raise her hand, "Miss, wait a moment, I will go and invite the marquis!" After saying that, the person had already gone far.
"This is my good girl." Yu Xiang moved his pillow, stared at the big girl with a resentful look on her face, and hummed the song: "Su San left Hongdong County and came to the street. I had never spoken and felt miserable. The gentlemen of the past listened to me..."
I think that although Yu Xiang was a useless person in her previous life, she lived a prouder life under the protection of her brother, laughing, scolding, and seeing her as she pleased, never saw anyone's face! No matter how the plot of the original book develops, since she replaced "Yu Xiang", she has to decide how she lives.
The big girl suddenly became angry when she saw her and laughed. She clearly was deliberately trying torture people. She secretly complained in her heart: If you break your legs, your temperament will become more and more perverse. Just do it, so that the Marquis will get tired of you as soon as possible!
Because the wet nurse of "Yu Xiang" knew that "Yu Xiang" was not the blood of the Hou Mansion, she was just affectionate with her, but in fact she was very contemptuous. She down-handedly - the two big girls she taught were like this, and her attitude was not respectful and humble at all. Moreover, "Yu Xiang" was young and stupid, and could not suppress these slaves. She was obviously the master, but she lived a more aggrieved life than the girl.
At that time, Cuixi, another big girl who went out to play, came back. She saw the broken porcelain pieces and soup and porridge in the room. She was about to find someone to come and clean up, but was stopped by her good sister and whispered, "We are making the lady angry, so let's kneel down and apologize to the lady." After saying that, she left the room and knelt outside the threshold.
Cuixi had a tacit understanding with her, and immediately knelt down and looked like she was shivering.
Yu Xiang ignored the two and hummed a little song freely. These two were given by the old lady, and their faces were bigger than those of the master on weekdays. If "Yu Xiang" was not a matter of blood in the Marquis's Mansion, the people who smashed the bowl today should have replaced them.
Yu Pinyan really has some ability. He was like an iron bucket under the jurisdiction of the Marquis' Mansion at a young age, and the rumors should have been suppressed. I don't know that Yu Siyu in the book made this matter known to everyone. How did the master gain a foothold in the circle of nobles when he came back and became the queen? He must have gone through many hard and inspiring processes.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiang chuckled and shook her head. Why should she make things difficult for herself if she could live comfortably? She was not inspiring, nor did she counterattack. She only made a fuss about Yu Pinyan’s favorability, saved enough money, and exchanged it for the owner when she found the main owner, and bought a farmhouse, sunset accompanied by smoke, and watched the flowers under the moon, and lived that leisurely little life. As for getting married, she had no hope of having her brother protecting her in her previous life, and it was even more impossible in this life. In ancient times, who would want to marry a useless man to pay for it? Even for the reputation of the Yongle Marquis’ Mansion, when the life experience of "Yu Xiang" was exposed, she would only end up in a more miserable situation. Let’s forget it.
Yu Xiang thought carefully and saw the two pitiful girls at the door who were so sad that they were about to cry. They pulled the corners of their lips contemptuously. Instead of cleaning the room, they knelt outside and pretended to be pitiful. This was a disguised way to give him eye drops in front of Yu Pinyan. Marquis, look, the lady is willful again, throwing things at will and punishing others!
But they forgot that "Yu Xiang" gave up two legs for Yu Pinyan and ruined the rest of her life. Now, she has the right to be willful. From the memory of "Yu Xiang", he learned that although Yu Pinyan's methods are vicious and vicious, he also has clear grudges. As long as he does not go against the main person, he will protect her in this life. Not to mention wealth, but to live a stable life, she can live a stable life. How can the heroine's family flourish for another hundred years?
As for her legs, she didn't expect it because of the backward medical conditions in ancient times. Anyway, she had already gotten used to it in her previous life.
Yu Xiang touched his knees wrapped in thick bandages, with a calm expression.
The two big girls knelt at the door and listened to the lady humming with a few words of comfort. She looked very comfortable. She had five points of resentment in her heart, and at this time she became even more ten. She secretly held her breath and held her eyes red, just waiting for the marquis to come.
Yu Xiang hummed, and the feeling of heartstrings coming again. She pursed the slightly raised corners of her lips, hid her free expression, frowned, and blinked her eyes, and the wet mist covered her dark pupils, looking like she was suffering a huge grievance.
The two big girls were stunned by her face-changing skills. They were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses. When they turned around, they saw the little marquis strode towards them at a very fast speed.
The two hurriedly walked over and kowtowed. Just as they were about to appeal, they saw that the little marquis had entered the house without looking sideways. The two knelt in the same place, with awkward expressions.
The ten-year-old girl said she was not big or small, but she was very thin and her hair was dry and yellow. It can be seen that she was not specially cared for by the rank of the legitimate daughter. Her facial features were extremely light, but her eyes were very big and round, and her pupils were as dark as ink. She was soaked in shallow tears, making her look even more clear.
This look is not beautiful, but it makes people feel unstoppable.
Yu Pinyan accelerated his pace and frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Xiang'er?" He walked closer and found the porridge and broken porcelain pieces all over the ground.
"Brother, my legs hurt!" Yu Xiangchong stretched out his hands, and tears that had been flowing in his eyes were pouring out. This person was obviously not her brother, but what was the extremely familiar telepathy? Although he was confused, he was at ease.
Yu Pinyan ignored the mess all over the ground and quickly walked over and carried the poor little girl into his arms. Yu Xiang had ruined his legs for him, not to mention smashing a few bowls, even if the house was demolished, who could still laugh and not care about this disaster? She should be willing to be angry, so he should stay with him, coax him, and spend this most difficult time together.
Thinking of this, Yu Pinyan's arms holding Yu Xiang tightened even more.
"It won't hurt in a few days, Xiang'er, bear it." Yu Pinyan had never been so close to his younger sister. His speech was very clumsy, and he only patted her back while wiping her tears.
The boy's arms were warmer than the last time, and it was soaked with a light and elegant incense, which smelled very nice. Yu Xiang's confused mood was soothed little by little, but his tears fell even more fiercely. He tightly wrapped his hands around the other person's neck, sobbing and speaking inconsistently. Why are you not my brother but you are connected to my heartstrings? Can't I really go back?
Yu Pinyan lowered his head and carefully distinguished his sister's choked words, but only heard her keep calling "brother". The strong attachment made him feel sour. In this huge Marquis' Mansion, she could only rely on herself.
The two big girls were still kneeling at the door, with their expressions ranging from resentment to embarrassment to fear.
"What a moment? Why don't you go and find a doctor!" Yu Pinyan coaxed his sister to stop crying, and then turned to see the two big girls.
The two of them quickly got up and wanted to leave, but they heard the little marquis speak lightly, "The house is so dirty but it doesn't matter. What's the use of asking you servants? Why don't you sell them all."
The two of them were shocked and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy, saying that they would never dare to do it again. Because they had no time to give Yu Xiang eye medicine, they did not make Yu Pinyan furious, and they just knocked and let it go.
