Aunt Zhao's happy life

After entering the yard, the little girls panicked: "This is...Master Zheng, right? Please come in..."

The singing and orchestral sounds in the room also stopped abruptly. Jia Zheng took Rui'er into the room, and saw one of the dozen or so girls was weeping, with his hand still on the strings. Jia Zheng knew it was Just sang.

Rui'er smiled and said: "So she sang it, I know her, her name is Wanyan, she is from the batch bought in Suzhou."

Wanyan hurriedly stepped forward to say good luck, the traces of tears were still clearly visible.Jia Zheng looked at her for a while, and the woman in front of her was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with slender shoulders and a thin waist, slim and graceful, with crescent eyebrows and almond eyes, peach blossom face, graceful and graceful.His eyes were watery from crying just now, which was so pitiful.

Jia Zheng said, "Sure enough, she is a Suzhou woman, so delicate. Who wrote the lyrics for the song you sang just now?"

Wanyan said: "It's me."

Jia Zheng said: "It seems that you are not only a girl with outstanding talent, but also a person with a story. Can you tell us about it?"

Wanyan burst into tears again: "I'm really ashamed to say this kind of thing in front of the master, we girls have the same fate as duckweed, so it's not worth listening to the master."

Ruier said: "Even if there is one more person who understands you, it would be nice!"

Wanyan said sadly: "I learned to sing in Suzhou since I was a child. There are several boys under our master, one of whom is named Gu Pin. He and I entered the master only two years apart. Yue is my brother. We are the two children most loved by the teacher. Over time, he and I have developed feelings for each other. We made an appointment, and when we can support ourselves in the future, we will pay enough to repay the teacher, and then we will build our own Xiaojia, but..."

Ruier said: "You were sent to Rongguo Mansion, right?"

Wanyan nodded: "For a while, we heard that people from the Rongguo Mansion from the capital were buying girls who could sing opera everywhere, and wanted top-notch ones. I was afraid that I would be taken away, so I asked my master for leave and asked to hide. My master He is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, he said that no matter what price someone offers, he will not agree to let me go, unless he takes me and Brother Gu Pin away together."

Jia Zheng sighed, "Oh, what a crime!"

Wanyan said: "Of course the people from Rongguo Mansion found our theater troupe very quickly, because Gu Pin and I were already very famous at that time, my master would not sell anything, and the people who came just said that they would all be arrested." In prison, ask who dares to fight with the Rongguo Mansion. My master said again, then take Brother Pin away, but he refused, saying that he only wanted to buy girls, but Brother Pin said he was willing to do odd jobs, no matter what to do, just ask together Go. Those people laughed at him for wanting to climb the tall branches of Rongguo Mansion, and kicked him down..."

Speaking of this, Wanyan choked up: "When they took me away, they not only beat my begging master until his face was bloody, but also beat Brother Pin until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Brother Pin kept chasing after the carriage, and kept chasing ..." As she spoke, she broke down in sobs.

Rui'er asked: "From now on, one of you is in the capital and the other in Suzhou, will you never see each other again?"

Wanyan sobbed: "No, Brother Ping bid farewell to Master later and came to the capital alone to find me. The gate of Rongguo Mansion is not so easy to enter. He wanted to come in and be a servant, but there was no way. He didn't The only way to do it is to sing old students in the theater troupe near Rongning Street to make a living, and wait for the opportunity."

Jia Zheng asked, "How do you know this?"

Wanyan said: "I sang opera inside, and he sang opera outside. It was not the same. But later, the mansion celebrated the old lady's birthday. Naturally, our team of twelve people was not enough, so we invited them outside. We are all women." Son, they invited some boys to come. Brother Pin fought for a long time to get this opportunity. We met backstage. The birthday celebration lasted for three days. We agreed to elope together, but...but a woman in the mansion found out that I was getting close to him and told him the secret, the old lady hated such things the most, she said that a foreigner should not stay for a long time, and kicked him out ahead of time!"

Jia Zheng asked, "Do you know where he is?"

Wanyan said: "If he didn't take me out, he wouldn't go back to Suzhou. He must still be in the nearby troupe. I wish I could go out one day, but we girls are like birds in a cage." , just to make fun of others, how can I have freedom! Maybe I won’t be able to leave the garden in this life, even if I do, I’ll be old, Brother Pin should have left long ago!”

Ruier's eyes were red: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely help you!"

Jia Zheng echoed, "I will find a way, just wait for a while."

Wanyan knelt down on the ground: "If Brother Pin and I can be reunited, we are willing to follow the master and aunt for the rest of our lives!"

The two of them hadn't gone far when they went out, and Wanyan's singing came from behind:

"The qin is broken, but the strings are connected. It is more difficult to see the time than the other time.

Looking south and looking eager to see through, the fate of the mandarin ducks was destroyed.

Looking forward to reunion, afraid of reunion,

Reunion is like a lifetime away, and Guanshan Road breaks away people's dreams.

The past is bleak and unbearable, I hope you will not care about love!

Treasure the former fate and never regret it, I only wish to live this life in peace and indifference, everything is empty..."

Ruier no longer wanted to enjoy the scenery, and took Jia Zheng's hand: "We must fulfill them!"

Jia Zheng said: "I'm here to guarantee it will be successful. My eldest brother sent someone to buy this batch. I just told him. As for where Gu Pin is, I sent a few people to Rongning Street Ask nearby, he should not go far."

Sure enough, within half a month, the matter was settled. Jia Zheng's subordinates quickly found Gu Pin, and got Jia Amnesty's consent to send Wanyan out.Jia Amnesty didn't understand what Jia Zheng wanted to do at all, so he just said: "These girls complain a lot, and they want to go out one by one. If you let one out, another one will come in. Why bother?" Jia Zheng didn't say much.

On the day of sending Wanyan out, seeing a couple of lovers crying and laughing, Jia Zheng and Rui'er also laughed and burst into tears.Gu Pin and Wanyan insisted on following Jia Zheng and Rui'er, and worked hard all their lives. Jia Zheng said, "I finally got out, what are you doing in there? Gu Pin, take her back to Suzhou and build your own little home."

Gu Pin kowtowed and said: "We will never forget your great kindness and virtue in this life, and we will definitely pray for you every day!"

Wanyan sighed and said: "It's a pity that I can't bring all the sisters out. In fact, I'm not the only one who is pitiful? Which one of them has no story of their own? But I know that there are no opera troupes, singing and dancing troupes in the Hou Men Palace. Even if they leave, there will still be someone to fill them in, but my luck is good, and I met a kind master and aunt."

Jia Zheng said: "At least if you two fateful couples can meet again, I've done a little good. Let's go, there's nothing to miss here. Let's find a new life for you!"

This matter is naturally the pride of Jia Zheng and Rui'er, but somehow it reached the ears of Jia's mother. Taking the opportunity of visiting her grandson at Rongxi Hall, Jia's mother said to Rui'er: "The important things in life require Parents are in charge, parents can't be in charge, listen to your own master's arrangement, for example, Rui'er, you can be considered to have listened to the arrangement. The behavior of the two opera singers is adultery and elopement! How decent is this? A good girl It's a shameless behavior to be pregnant in private. It brings bad children and destroys the family tradition! In the future, when encountering such a thing, you must not help them, but educate them! Girls always put their reputation first, and boys Children should not be so frivolous in choosing a wife!"

He also said to Jia Zheng: "Even you are messing around with me. You are a master, how can you be like a child! Confused!"

Ruier and Jia Zheng nodded repeatedly, while Ruyan and Changsheng panicked.

That night, Ruier went to chat with Ruyan in the bedroom: "I see that you have been absent-minded all day, is there something on your mind?"

Ru Yan said: "No!"

Ruier said: "I know, you are afraid that you and Changsheng will not succeed, don't worry, since I can help the girls in the troupe, why don't I help my closest people? You have been with me for so many years , are very old, I don't make decisions for you, am I sorry for you?"

When Changsheng saw Wanyan and Gu Pin's lover finally get married, he was so moved that he couldn't calm down for a few days. He made up his mind and asked to marry Ruyan.

Jia Zheng saw that Changsheng was kneeling there, and said that Ruyan would not marry him, so he nodded immediately: "I have no objection, and neither does Aunt Zhao. I'll go and talk to the old lady!"

Chang Sheng said: "Master, please don't say that we are the ones you love! Otherwise, it will be over!"

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "Are you underestimating me so much?"

When they arrived at Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng greeted Mother Jia first, and pretended to talk about the servants inadvertently: "I saw that Zhu'er was so big, so I didn't realize that Shuhui had been here for so many years, and Rui'er was not young anymore! "

Jia Mu said, "It's not just not small!"

Jia Zheng said: "A few people in our hands are using Shunxin, and they haven't changed all the time. They have been dragged along, and they have been dragged into old age. Pillow ink, such as smoke, chess, agarwood, longevity, fortune, All of them are old people in the house."

Jia Mu said: "If you send it out, you will be reluctant, and they don't know if they are willing or not. They have to think about it."

Jia Zhengdao: "Ruyan has a simple and lively personality, a bit like Rui'er. Rui'er likes her very much, and she can't live without her. Changsheng is also a simple and clever person, and I like it when I use it. I think we should make them a pair? "

Jiamu said with a smile: "There are a lot of servants in our house, that's fine, but you can't force the decision. You call them here and I ask them if they are willing!"

When Changsheng and Ruyan heard the news, they reminded each other to pretend that they had just learned about it. The two had nothing to do with each other. They went all the way to Rongqing Hall with their heads down, and kowtowed to Jia Mu.

Jia Mu asked with a smile: "You have been loyal to the master for many years. He and Aunt Zhao are reluctant to leave you, so they want to make you a couple. Do you think so?"
