43. Little Slave (1)

With a bang, the gray-black snake-skin whip dripped a graceful arc in the air and landed on the back of the young man who was leading the horse. Along with a woman's disgusting scolding: "Did you, a servant, deliberately, almost throw me down!"

The whip hit the back, and the young man's thin and worn clothes instantly broke a long hole, and the red blood soaked the fabric around the wound. However, his coat was gray, and if you don't look closely, you can't tell how severe the injury was.

A whip fell, and the boy lowered his eyes and did not react at all, as if he could not feel any pain. The woman holding the long whip cursed. Seeing that the little slave dared to ignore him, he raised his hand and wanted to give him another whip. But this time she failed. A sudden little stone hit her wrist, and the long whip fell to the ground.

Covering his purple wrists, hesitated coldly, and the woman was shocked and angry, subconsciously looking around. When she saw the figure swaying slowly, her beautiful eyes seemed to spit out fire, and there was unconcealed disdain in her words: "Ruan Ruan, it's you! You dare to hit me with a stone? I must tell my aunt to let her cure your sins!"

She is the third lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, named Li Wan, and her aunt is the empress of the current emperor, to be precise, the successor. The original empress died early, and the only son who left behind was weak and left within two years after being named the crown prince. The imperial physician said that he ate too much cold food, which caused the accumulation of symptoms, and he disappeared at a young age.

It is said that the prince himself was eating, and the subordinates could not persuade him. But the emperor was furious and dragged all the servants of the Eastern Palace out and chopped them up. The blood flowed into a river overnight, and complained.

The older the emperor is, the country still needs to be inherited, and he must be appointed again. However, the descendants are few, and the prince born is either young or embarrassing the great responsibility. The third prince born to the descendant and the fifth prince born by Concubine Liu is the most likely to take the throne.

The Prime Minister's Mansion and the Empress were of the same lineage, of course, standing on the side of the third prince. Because of the Empress's reliance, Li Wan became more and more arrogant and did not take others seriously at all, let alone her parents died, leaving only the empty orphan Ruan Ruan, the orphan girl in the General's Mansion.

However, no matter how hard he didn't take people seriously, Li Wan didn't dare to touch Ruan Ruan. General Ruan and his wife made great achievements in their lives. In the past few years, they sacrificed their lives for the country to resist the invasion of the southern enemy.

Your Majesty is grateful to General Ruan and his wife for their contributions and treats their daughters with great preferential treatment. Not only does he give him a thousand hectares of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold, but he also grants Ruan Ruan his own marriage.

Things. If you fall in love with a man from another family, you can ask him to come to the imperial court and His Majesty will give her a marriage.

Parents have always made decisions about marriage matters. Even if their parents die, there are always other elders in the family, so they can't follow their wishes. But no one dares to make decisions about Ruan Ruan's marriage unless she is willing.

I don’t know how many women in the boudoir were envied by this. What’s more, General Ruan and his wife only had one daughter. Even if they sacrificed their lives for the country, many of the family wealth and rewards left were given to their daughters.

All the adults who made friends with General Ruan and his wife and their old subordinates regarded Ruan Ruan as their biological daughter and took care of her. It can be said that they had backers everywhere in the court and the country.

She has a wealth of wealth and has such a huge network of relationships in the court. Even an orphan girl is like a hot commodity. Everyone wants to swallow it in one bite, and the same is true for the third prince who is bound to win the position of the prince. Later, she also asked Li Wan to have a good relationship with the Ruan family many times, but she became angry when she saw Ruan Ruan's beautiful face. It would be good if she didn't get along, how could she make friends?

"Ah, I always tell my parents, are you a child?" The girl who had a dogtail grass in her mouth slowly walked over and stopped three steps away. She looked at Li Wan, who was sitting on the horse frivolously, twisted the dogtail grass on her fingertips, slightly raised her eyes and felt indifferent: "It's useless."

When he spoke, his eyes fell on the little slave holding the horse, and I don’t know who he said it to.

The boy who had always lowered his eyes suddenly had a slight reaction, his curled eyelashes trembled, he tilted his head in the direction of Ruan Ruan, and then buried his face quickly.

The movement was so fast that no one noticed him, but Ruan Ruan could see clearly. The boy's face was covered with dust, and there was nothing outstanding. Only those eyes aroused her interest at first glance.

Unlike the dark pupil eyes of ordinary people, this little slave's eyes are different pupils, one is green and yellow, and the other is just clear and light blue. It looks like round beads, beautiful and fragile, making Ruan Ruan feel itchy.

She threw away the dog-tail grass in her hand and ran to Li Wan's horse in a daze. Her tone was intimate and natural, as if she had already thrown away all the unpleasantness of the two of them just now: "I like your slave's eyes, why don't you give it to me?"

"?" Li Wan opened her mouth, her face full of shock. She thought she was already bold enough, but she didn't expect that the lady of the Ruan family would be better and would be poaching people's eyes when she came up.

How vicious it would take to do such a thing. Li Wan was in a complicated mood. She really should let her aunt take a good look at this scene and recognize the man and snake.

The nature of the scorpion heart.

"Why don't you speak?" Before he could hear back, Ruan Ruan frowned impatiently.

After shook his god, Li Wan habitually showed sarcasm on the ground: "This is my slave, why should I give it to you?"

"Then why do you want to give it to me?" The girl looked serious and seemed to be reluctant to give up.

"Unless," Li Wan's eyes rolled around, cleared her throat, and turned off the horse's back and stood still: "You apologize to me now."

The lady in the General's Mansion was a little arrogant, how could she bow to her easily? Li Wan admitted that her request was a bit difficult, so she didn't expect to get an apology. She had thought about it and retreated after Ruan Ruan refused and asked her to take out 5,000 taels of silver for exchange.

Two months ago, she saw this young boy in the slave market. At that time, she was also attracted by his pair of different colored eyes and spent ten taels of silver to buy him. However, after buying it, it was not satisfactory.

This little slave was a mute, and he didn't seem to have a good ear. He didn't respond to anything he told him. He was not as sensible as other slaves and was very skillful. What's more, the old nanny in the mansion said that he had strange eyes and thought it was unknown, so she drove the slave out of the mansion early.

At first, Li Wan didn't believe it until one after another, one after another of the unlucky things fell on her, and she had to believe it. She originally planned to send the slave back to the slave market after running the horse. Since Ruan Ruan spoke, she had no reason not to make a profit.

As the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has two older brothers and several concubines in the mansion. Therefore, she can get not much silver salary every month, only about 600 taels.

Compared with this, five thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, enough for her to buy several pieces of jewelry from Jixiang Pavilion. I heard that Jixiang Pavilion has a new hairpin, so she will go shopping later.

The little abacus in her heart crackled, and Li Wan seemed to have seen Yin waving to her, but she didn't expect that she heard the girl in front of her say "I'm sorry" very calmly.

"What did you say?" Li Wan asked again in disbelief.

"I'm sorry." The girl in a goose yellow dress blinked, her face calm and calm: "Didn't you say you're apologizing? Now that I've finished apologizing, he's mine."

Qingcong pointed her finger to the side, and regardless of Li Wan's ugly expression, she walked to the boy in three or two steps and looked up and down: "Raise your head and look at me."

The disheveled boy kept his original action of leading the horse, as if he hadn't heard her.

Always lower your head and your eyes fall on your toes.

He was wearing cloth shoes that cost a few cents a pair of at the market. The materials were not the same, but they didn't fit. There was a hole in front of the shoes, and he could vaguely see the curled toes inside.

"I'm talking to you!" Ruan Ruan kicked the boy's calf with poor patience. The boy made a rare groan and fell to the ground.

So weak. The beautiful girl frowned in disgust and looked at the boy who fell to the ground with condescending attention. Seeing him struggling to stand up, she still lowered her head and refused to lift it up. She kicked him again and kicked the man to the ground.

After repeated several times, I finally felt bored. The girl's delicate eyebrows and eyes stretched out, waved behind her, and several servants responded to the situation.

"Can you walk? If you can, go by yourself. If you can, I will let them drag you away." After a trip, I didn't get anything. The spoiled girl felt a little tired, slowly turned her direction, and walked onto the carriage that was parked on the side.

The curtain was lowered, and the carriage drove slowly, followed by a large group of domestic slaves. The injured boy limped in the crowd and followed, his pale lips tightening. The pair of strange pupils stared at the carriage ahead, with a faint cold light.

It is quite a long journey from the empty space in the suburbs to the General's Mansion, and it takes half an hour to get there, so it will be even slower if you walk. In order to minimize bumps, although Ruan Ruan's carriage travels slowly when returning to the mansion, the people following him must speed up to avoid falling behind.

This is a training for people with good physical fitness, and is not so friendly to the limping young boy. The injuries on his back were pulled and bleeding kept leaking. His unfit shoes exposed his toes. He stepped on stones or other sharp objects on the road. A layer of skin was quickly worn off and his fingernails were filled with blood.

The young boy with sweat on his forehead gritted his teeth and said nothing, but his hands hanging on both sides gradually clenched.

When he arrived at the general's mansion, the housekeeper was already waiting at the door. Seeing that the carriage stopped, he quickly went up to meet him. He was sharp-eyed and found that there were more people in the team he took out, and he was puzzled: "Miss, is this?"

Looking along the butler's gaze, the girl with a desolate expression replied casually: "The little slave I brought back."

Looking at the young man's dirty face, he seemed to have injuries on his body, and he didn't know where the lady brought such a person back. Should she ask a doctor to take a look, the old butler thought a lot in his mind.

"Oh, by the way." The girl surrounded by her feet stopped and ordered:

"Wash him, change his clothes, and find a doctor to come and see the wound."

After saying that, the girl stepped into the door without looking back, leaving the butler outside to arrange it.

The old housekeeper was efficient in his work and arranged a room in a remote corner for people to live in. Soon the doctor entered the mansion. He first applied medicine on the wound and wrote a prescription for recuperation.

People came and left quickly. Before a cup of tea, there was only a young man left in the room. The whip on his back was medicine, and it was now very painful. He sat up from the bed with cold sweat, trying to move to the table and pour a glass of water.

The creaking door opened unexpectedly. He subconsciously looked at the door, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly lowered his head. His fingernails pinched the wooden board along the edge of the bed, and no longer moved.

The girl who came in with her hands behind her back looked around the room, and her eyes finally fell on the little boy sitting quietly beside the bed. She swayed and looked down at the top of the boy's head, and her voice was still cold: "Look up and let me see."

As expected, no one responded. She was not angry this time, and stretched out her small hand to pinch the boy's jaw and lifted it up. Amaze flashed in her black eyes.

This gray face is still a little color after washing it, at least several times better than the young men Ruan Ruan has seen. Even the third prince, who is famous for his handsomeness, is much inferior. Especially these crystal clear eyes add a bit of mystery and specialness.

Wenliang's fingers pressed against his chin, and the young man did not dare to move around, and his hands, which were clenched on the edge of the bed, tightened suddenly.

He heard the girl laughing and laughing, saying, "I was born well. If I could collect it, I would enjoy it every day."

The author has something to say: When you experience disasters:

Ruan Ruan: You have good eyes, so it would be great if you could enjoy it every day.

After the return of the tribulation:

Shen Yin: Your tail is well-bred, so it would be great if you could make it into fur and carry it with you all the time.

True, one report back
