Chapter 3 Qiuyan
Bai Zhi only sighed in a low voice.
The room fell into silence again, and only firewood made crackling sounds in the fire. The two maids slapped the fans in their hands, and no one noticed that the person on the bed had woken up.
Jiang Ruan has been awake for a while, and Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao's conversation naturally entered her ears without saying a word. When she woke up from the couch three days ago, she found that she had actually returned to ten years ago. All kinds of her previous life were like an afternoon dream. Only she knew that the deep hatred of the sea of blood could not be dissipated by a dream. Since God gave her a chance to come back, she would accept it without hesitation and make good use of it.
Three days ago, she woke up from the couch. Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Ruan had been in a coma for more than ten days since falling into the water. The doctors who came said they were unable to make the day go back. Zhang Lan's family even went out to inquire about the funeral of the coffin, but she woke up again. Lian Qiao held her hand and cried, saying that God would bless her, but Jiang Ruan narrowed her eyes.
After dying once, everything in his previous life not only did not disappear, but remembered it very clearly. Four years ago, the Taoist priest who came to Yunyou's house calculated at a glance that her horoscope was extremely strong, and she was really the fate of Tiansha Lone Star. Jiang Quan originally wanted to send her to the family temple, and was covered with a green lamp. It was Jiang Susu kneeling down to plead with her that Jiang Quan changed his mind and sent her to the countryside farm. Because of this, Jiang Ruan had always felt grateful to Jiang Susu. Now that he wanted to come here, he was bullied by Jiang Susu and his daughter.
The village was handed over to Zhang Lan's family to take care of. Zhang Lan is a greedy person and is extremely fierce. She often criticizes and insults Jiang Ruan on weekdays. Zhang Lan's husband Chen Fu is even lazy and drinks all day long. These two people have a son and a daughter. The son Chen Zhao is extremely lustful and his daughter Chen Fang is sarcastic. When Jiang Ruan came, he brought a lot of jewelry and jewelry, either falling into Zhang Lan's hands or being cheated by Chen Fang. More than ten days ago, Jiang Ruan accidentally fell into the water because Chen Zhao touched her by the pond. Jiang Ruan couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the water. Chen Zhao saw that he had caused trouble and ran away. After Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi called someone to rescue Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan was no longer conscious.
It was the cold winter month, and the water in the pool was biting cold. In addition, Jiang Ruan's body became weaker and weaker in recent years due to Zhang Lan's harshness. After suffering from the wind and cold, he immediately became seriously ill.
Jiang Ruan remembered very clearly that she did not wake up so early, and she fell into the disease after waking up. What’s more important is that there were rumors outside that she would seduce men at a young age. She didn’t love herself and took the initiative to seduce Chen Zhao but fell into the water. It was Zhang Lan’s work, but she pushed all the sewage on her body and worshipped the name of this basin of sewage. Later, when Jiang Ruan became famous, she became the name of a witch.
Now that she woke up early, the rumors have not yet been heard. I believe Zhang Lan hadn't thought of this yet, but she could have given her a New Year gift. She had no future when she was bullied by this farm. She could not stand being sent to the palace as a chess piece four years later. It was not her purpose to be asked for a bargaining advantage. She had to pay the price for anything she did. Chen Zhao was the first to start the operation.
Jiang Ruan looked out the window. The sound of firecrackers outside the house was faintly clear, and the room with only three people seemed even more deserted.
She slowly sat up. Bai Zhi heard the sound of her getting up, and hurriedly stood up to meet him, saying, "Miss is awake, do you have any discomfort?"
Jiang Ruan shook her head: "When is it now?"
"It's about Xu hour." Bai Zhi said.
Lian Qiao put down the fan: "Is the girl hungry? I went to the kitchen to bring some food."
Most of the ladies and wives who came to the village were guilty of guilt, but they were the master after all. Unless they were special care, they would not live so poorly, even a servant could not compare to them. The meals were never delivered early in the New Year’s Eve, which was really thought-provoking.
Before Jiang Ruan could answer, he heard the knocking sound of the door, and a crisp voice said outside: "Girl, I am here to deliver the New Year's Eve dinner."
Lian Qiao was stunned, Jiang Ruan said, "Come in." The door creaked, and a girl in a very festive dress came in from outside. She was holding a food basket in her hand and said, "Aunt Lan told me to come and deliver food, so girls should eat some too."
Seeing that Jiang Ruan had not moved for a long time, Bai Zhi lowered her head in confusion. She saw that there was a flash of emotion in Jiang Ruan's eyes, and turned to raise her head and smiled slightly.
The girl who came was Qiuyan, who was the eldest maid in the village. Although her status was not as good as Zhang Lan, she was somewhat respectful. It was something that Qiuyan came to deliver food on New Year's Eve, which had never happened in recent years. It must be that Zhang Lan seemed very concerned about the Miss Jiang family who was lying in bed in order to block everyone's mouth.
Qiu Yan put down the food basket and looked at the house quickly. This was her first time to come to Jiang Ruan's house. She saw a dilapidated and decayed atmosphere in the narrow room. There were even traces of rainwater seeping into the walls on the eaves. The quilt on the bed was extremely thin. Not to mention waving his hands, even ordinary utensils were very broken. It would be strange if he lived in such a humid and dark room, his body was not weak. At this moment, he looked like a lady's boudoir. Even the lowest-class slave in the village would probably not be so cold.
Qiu Yan has been immersed in the mansion for a long time and understands in his heart that although Zhang Lan's family is greedy for money, if they had not been able to do the best, they would definitely not dare to treat a lady like this. Since it was the master's intention, Qiu Yan would naturally not interfere.
"Your name is Qiuyan." The person on the bed spoke, his voice a little hoarse, but strangely brought a subtle emotion.
Qiu Yan raised her head and smiled and said, "It's just a slave."
Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao were guarding Jiang Ruan's side, and the other was staring at Qiu Yan. In the village, except for the three masters and servants, the rest were all with ulterior motives.
Jiang Ruan smiled: "Tonight is New Year's Eve. Sister Qiu Yan's clothes are so festive and look so beautiful."
This was a bit strange. Qiu Yan couldn't figure it out and said with a smile: "It was all done by my aunt. I am just a servant. When it comes to good-looking things, the girl is really joking."
Jiang Ruan sighed softly: "Aunt Lan is really mean. Have you made new clothes in the village?"
Her voice smiled softly, Qiu Yan subconsciously nodded and suddenly realized that the village had made new clothes, but she missed the three masters and servants in front of her. She could not say anything. Just as she was about to make excuses, she heard Jiang Ruan gently say: "The two maids around me are clumsy, and they are not as happy as Sister Qiu Yan's clothes. There is a saying that Sister Qiu Yan said wrong, I am not joking. Although Sister Qiu Yan is a servant, she seems to live more comfortable and decent than me."
