When Chunhua talked about the past, she still felt regretful and cried sadly.
Qiuyue handed her a handkerchief in time.
Zhang You stopped trying to take the handkerchief.
Qiuyue stood aside and listened to them talk.
In fact, she had learned most of these things from her interactions with Chunhua over the past few months. However, Chunhua would still feel sad every time she mentioned them.
"Just treat it as a sincere gift to the dog. Why do you always feel sad for her?"
Qiuyue felt as if she was disappointed in someone.
"Some people are just not worth your affection."
"I know." Chunhua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her tone became slower.
"But every time I think about it, I feel a sense of disparity and injustice."
Qiuyue took over her words and continued to talk to Zhang You about those people.
"Xiao He, you don't know that those two are trying to turn a sparrow into a phoenix. They are birds of a feather.
When the family was poisoned, they knew that the eldest son was poisoned. They took advantage of the moment when he was cured and took possession of him, becoming his concubines.
Now they are like sparrows turning into phoenixes, and they don't even look at us straight in the eye. Hua'er, you'd better break up with her, otherwise you won't even notice if she harms you one day."
Chunhua didn't say anything, but from her expression she agreed with Qiuyue's flower.
Zhang You has been in the mansion for so long that he knows Qiao Da's character.
Qiao Da has always been lustful, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has a large number of wives and concubines in his mansion.
The North Courtyard, which was such a large place, was almost entirely occupied by his concubines.
I heard that no girl from a wealthy and powerful family was willing to marry him.
Thinking back, in order to avoid getting into trouble at Qiao Dana's place, she very enthusiastically came to the princess's courtyard.
Later, by chance, he followed Qiao Er, and now he follows Qiao Si.
At least I don’t have to go to Qiao Da’s place and be tied up and confined to that courtyard.
"Alas, everyone has his own path, and we can't control it."
"Um."
"Oh, let's not talk about this. Where are Erniu and Xiu'er? I don't know how they are doing."
Seeing that the scene had quieted down for a while, Zhang You started another topic.
"Erniu is working in the kitchen now. She's very efficient and came in early in the morning, so she doesn't have to take the same assessment as us. We met a few days ago and she told me that she's learning how to cook from a chef. After a year or so, she'll be able to become a chef herself.
Xiu'er is still working for Nanny Chang. She was originally supposed to work with Cuihua, but after she had a falling out with Cuihua and the others, she started working as Nanny Chang's assistant.
By the way, do you remember Chun Miao?"
"Chun Miao? The one who's been following Cui Hua?"
"Yes, that's her. I don't know why they had a fight, but when Cuihua and Yang'er went to the eldest master's place, they didn't bring her with them."
Chunhua moved closer to Zhang You and whispered in her ear.
"I wonder if it's because of the sheep."
Zhang You raised his eyes and looked at Huaer with a hint of surprise.
Is it because we got that position that we squeezed out the spring seedlings?
Or did Chunmiao threaten her?
It's all just speculation.
"She didn't say it, but I think she must be among them."
Chunhua looked at Zhang You with certainty.
"Chun Miao is actually not a bad person. She is different from Cui Hua. Although she was inseparable from Cui Hua before, she did not participate in the things Cui Hua did. She and Cui Hua are cousins. She was brought in by Cui Hua, but after Cui Hua became a concubine, she kicked her out.
I heard she's also in the kitchen now, just washing and sorting vegetables. She gets along well with Erniu, and the two of them being together gives each other some support.
Like us.”
Chunhua pointed at Zhang You and Qiuyue, meaning that the three of them came from the same place and happened to live in the same yard, so they could take care of each other.
"That's right."
"What are you talking about?"
Dongmei came out of Qiao Si's room.
She disappeared in the afternoon and was found by Qiao Si, and no one knew what they said.
When she came back, she saw the three of them gathered together talking.
Zhang You was afraid that she would feel that the three of them were isolating her, so she was just trying to find a topic to help her fit in.
As a result, she was carefree and didn't care what they said.
"Oh, what sad things did you talk about? Look how Chunhua is crying."
She walked up to Chunhua and comforted her.
"Why are you crying? Were you bullied? Come to me. I might have beaten you up. I'll help you vent your anger."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and gestured.
Chunhua looked at her and burst into laughter.
Zhang You pulled down her arm and continued with a smile.
"What are you fighting for? Why are you always thinking about fighting and killing? We are just remembering the suffering we went through in the past. Isn't it all in the past? If we were really bullied, we would definitely ask you to fight back for us."
"I can beat him too. Although my martial arts skills are not as good as Dongmei's, I still have some strength."
Qiuyue also joined in.
"Together, we will make sure those who bully us never get back!"
Qiuyue raised her chin towards Dongmei.
I don't know where he learned this ruffian attitude from.
"Huh? You reminded me.
Come, come, let me test your kung fu and give you some pointers."
"Really? Come on, come on, come on."
As they talked, they started gesturing in the open space on the side of the yard.
Dongmei was a martial artist, and Qiuyue was beaten back by Dongmei in less than three moves.
But she was extremely tenacious. Even after being beaten back, she would still rush forward to continue fighting. She had a wild and pure energy.
"Qiuyue used to survive on her own, but her tricks are still no match for Dongmei."
Chunhua stood beside Zhang You and spoke slowly.
"Then she's really amazing."
Zhang You admired sincerely.
Zhang You knew very well what Dingzhou was like in the past two years.
Qiuyue is a girl who relies on herself to make a living outside.
No wonder she has a ruffian air about her.
If she wants to survive here, she has to face all kinds of people, be particularly good at reading people's expressions, and be worldly-wise.
They fought for a while, but Qiuyue was defeated in the end.
"No, no, no."
She bent over and gasped heavily, one hand on her knee and the other hand waving towards Dongmei.
"Wait for next time. I'll compete with you next time after I've practiced well."
Qiuyue played with all her heart and was still thinking about the next time.
"Then you have to practice hard. I've been practicing since I was a child. You won't be able to beat me easily."
Dongmei walked over to her and helped her walk back.
She fought a fight as easily as eating and drinking, without even a moment's breathing becoming disordered.
As expected, it’s Mei Jiu!
The strength of being ranked ninth is well-deserved!
Zhang You has a bit of a filter for people who know martial arts.
He’s so good at fighting, I feel so safe.
"You are all very good. Dongmei's martial arts are so powerful that we don't have to be afraid when we go out in the future. Qiuyue is so unyielding. If she practices with Dongmei, we will have two capable fighters when we go out in the future."
