Chapter 4

It rained all night, and the next day it cleared up. The mattresses in the house were all wet.

Tong'er is drying his mattress, Jiang Li is sitting in the room, and there is a stack of sole on the table. This is also what she has to do every day. After receiving 50 soles, she can get a string of copper money. Copper money is of no use in this mountain, and tong'er can't go down the mountain. He can only wait for the salesman who comes up the mountain to arrive and buy some sugar cakes from him.

This is the only luxury of Jiang Li and tong'er.

Looking from the window, tong'er stepped on the stool to dry the mattress, and a nun wearing a gray Taoist robe passed by not far away, without looking at them.

They told these nuns not to move. At the beginning, Jiang Li made a mistake and was sent here. There was only one tong'er with her. Tong'er is the servant girl selected by Ye Zhenzhen for Jiang Li, and has been with Jiang Li.

The little girl was quite angry. Looking at the back of the two nuns who had gone away, "bah" and scolded, "hairless hen!"

Jiang Li knew that she was refused to go to bed to dry the mattress in the morning. She was not comfortable before scolding, and she couldn't help laughing.

There are as many servants as there are masters. Tong'er has stayed here for six years, which is still the case. Maybe the original Miss Jiang Er is more fierce. Think about it, if it's not intense, you can't do something angry and self destructed.

Will such a fierce person cry injustice after pushing his stepmother to miscarry?

Jiang Li thought about these things from tong'er's mouth. It is said that Miss Jiang Er refused to admit hurting her stepmother. Jiang Li thought that if she did it, she would admit it out loud.

But these are not important now.

Tong'er came back after drying the quilt and sat beside Jiang Li. She was scared by Jiang Li, for fear that Jiang Li would throw herself into the lake without paying attention. She kept watching Jiang Li step by step these days. Seeing Jiang Li in a daze, she picked up the sole and made it by herself. Jiang Li looked at the little girl's fingertips, grabbed the sole and threw it away, saying, "don't do it."

"Eh?" Tong'er didn't understand, "the salesman will come in three days. Doesn't the girl want maltose?"

Jiang Li shook her head and asked, "do you want to sit here all your life and wait for the maltose every month?"

"Of course not." Tong'er asked, "but we can't get out here now." After saying this, he murmured, "I've written to the master and the Ye family before, but I haven't heard back." Tong'er's small face collapsed, "can't you forget us?"

Jiang Li sighed, not to mention delivering the letter, for fear that their every move at present was under people's eyes. Generally, the miss who made a mistake was sent to the family temple. Because the owner's family also sent money to take care of them, the people in the nunnery would not be so bad to them. The nuns here are clearly making things difficult. After Jiang Li fell ill, even the doctor didn't invite him. I'm afraid it's all the idea of Yanjing city.

As for who it is, you don't have to guess it's the stepwife.

If Jiang Li really miscarries, Ji shuran will definitely not let Jiang Li go. If Jiang Li doesn't miscarry, Ji shuran makes this scene for the purpose of not letting Jiang Li go.

What's more, now Jiang Li's marriage has also been robbed. Jiang Li has nothing left, a grandparent who has never been in contact with her? The abandoned legitimate daughter, even if she is killed in this place, can't turn over any storm.

But why didn't Ji shuran kill her?

Jiang Li doesn't think it's the other party's mercy. Maybe she has other uses for the stepwife or the Jiang family. Isn't it often that daughters are used as stepping stones to marry people and pave the way for their father and brother's official career, just like Shen Yurong. The difference is that Shen Yurong regarded himself as a bargaining chip for the marriage and Xue Fangfei as a stumbling block.

Miss Jiang Er reminded her of herself. She was robbed of her own things by others, occupied by doves, and unable to defend herself.

Tong'er watched Jiang Li's face sink and couldn't help fighting a cold war.

For some reason, tong'er felt that the second young lady had become a little strange since she woke up. The second young lady has always been outspoken. I even had a fight with the nuns in the nunnery. It's easy to get excited and angry. Of course, it's not the fault of the second young lady, it's all the fault of those bad people.

Only after waking up, the second young lady has never been angry. She was gentle, and her words became soft and slow, so that people didn't know what she was thinking. When she didn't speak and think, tong'er felt a little afraid.

Jiang Li's fingers stroked the sewn insole in front of her. The stitches of the insole were fine. Although Tong ER was noisy, her needlework was really good.

She has to find a way to get out of here.

Xuefangfei in Yanjing city should be dead, but how did Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong tell a lie? She didn't know. She still has to go to see Xue Zhao again and find a way to go back to Tongxiang. Xue Huaiyuan is dead and his two children are dead. Who will collect his body? She hasn't seen Xue Huaiyuan for the last time.

She wants to leave here, but now in Yanjing City, no one in the whole Yan Dynasty remembers her, Jiang Li. A person who nobody remembers will not be taken away from here.

In that case, we have to take the initiative to leave here.

If no one remembers, it is not difficult for the world to remember.

Jiang Li suddenly laughed.

Tong'er looked at her in surprise. This was the first time Jiang Li laughed these days. It was either a sneer or a wry smile, or a happy and comfortable smile. With this smile, her withered and yellow face suddenly became vivid, as bright as a morning flower.

"Tong'er," Jiang Li asked her, "did you say that a salesman would go up the mountain?"

"Yes," tong'er said, "when Mr. Zhang comes here every year at noon on the tenth day of May, we all agree with him that if we have delicious cakes and candy, we will come to us first and let us choose."

It's the servant girl of a rich family. Even if she is down, even if she can only get a string of copper coins, she still has a lot of momentum when talking.

"Is there a lot of sugar?" Jiang Li asked.

"A lot." Tong'er asked, "does the girl want sugar?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "yes."

It's too bitter, because it's too bitter, so I miss the sweet taste of honey. These sweets can make her taste sweet and make some people feel bitter.

Tong'er said happily, "just want to eat sugar, girl. We saved more copper coins a few days ago, and we can exchange several baskets. You can eat as much as you want!"

Jiang Li said, "do you think this is the Helin temple near here?"

Tong'er stared at her blankly and asked, "does the girl also want to go to incense?"

"No." Jiang Li said, "I don't believe in Buddhism."

Tong'er was puzzled.

Jiang Li's smile was a little softer. She said, "what can Buddha believe?"
