What
are the old sayings that the woman is a servant girl?
The stunning woman who wept bitterly was the one General Zhenbei should really marry, the eldest lady of the Chiang family.
And I am her personal servant girl.
I looked at the stunning woman crying in front of me.
Stunning means that even if she cries with tears on her face, she is still amazing and pleasing to the eye.
My parents-in-law, my parents, and my husband all seemed to be heartbroken by her crying. They looked at her in amazement, and then at me, and none of them could speak. Of course
I know what they’re upset about. The stunning woman
in front of me looks exactly like me.
It’s just that I have a cold temper, and I’m probably not as soft and lovable as she is. Sitting still in the hall,
I looked up at my husband, the new general of Zhenbei, and said, “General, did you marry a lady of the Chiang family or your wife?”?
My husband looked at me and then at the woman who looked like me standing on the ground, livid and silent.
I waited for a while, but he just looked at us and didn’t speak.
I bowed my head and smiled. After all, I was not the owner. The dove occupied the magpie’s nest. It could be occupied for a while, but it could not be occupied for a lifetime.
I stretched out my hand to the woman and said, “Give me the potion. It’s time for us to change.”.
The woman stopped sobbing, glanced at me, lowered her head, and stepped forward to hand me the potion.
I opened the porcelain bottle, and the bright red potion was like blood.
I poured it on my hands, rubbed it, and applied it to my face with both hands.
Soon, I heard all the people in the hall exclaim in a low voice.
I know. The potion worked. My mask fell off.
I ordered the servant girl behind me to take the bronze mirror and look down at it. “I no longer close the moon and shy the flowers. The face in the mirror is light and tasteless.”.
Five years later, I was beaten back to my original shape-a servant girl. The woman
standing on the ground is the one that Zhenbei General should really marry, the eldest lady of the Chiang family.
And I am her personal servant girl. We were only twelve when
I was brought to her.
She is a charming lady, and I am an orphan girl who fled outside. We are compared to heaven and earth. When
I came to her, Chiang’s wife was out of favor, and she and her mother were being suppressed by her concubine mother and sister, unable to lift their heads.
Because of the general’s office in the north of the town, he went to the Chiang family to get engaged. There were only two concubines in the
Chiang family, and General Zhenbei was powerful. His son married any daughter of the Chiang family, and the mother of any daughter was unswerving in the Chiang family. Although
my young lady is a legitimate daughter, her mother is weak, and she is not as favored as her concubine mother. She has been attacked step by step. If she were in the royal family, she would be in the cold palace at this moment.
I am her servant girl, and naturally I am closely related to her.
Moreover, I did not know why I was distressed when I saw her being bullied and feeling aggrieved and trembling all day long.
I taught her how to be smart, kind and friendly in front of her father.
Teach her how to speak for her mother without a trace.
I also taught her how to build up a defensive heart and avoid the open and secret arrows of her concubine mother and sister.
She is smart, and I taught her that she can draw inferences about other cases from one instance.
Within a year, she was not only spoiled like a pearl, but also able to plan with me, in turn, her concubine.
I am quite gratified that the young lady has stood up in the house, and the servant girl’s life is better.
She sometimes asked me how I could understand the darkness of so many people and teach her so many tricks to fool Master Chiang, who had seen the world.
I said with a smile, where did I come from? I came as a refugee.
She grew up in the mansion, and I grew up, and I’m afraid it’s hard to live without seeing through the heat and cold.
I fought openly and secretly with her in the house, and the friendship was naturally unusual.
Her concubine has been pressed to death by us, one in the light and the other in the dark, unable to stir up trouble.
We have hardly suffered any loss.
After all, her concubine mother just wants some power in the mansion, and I can’t compare with a person who will die if I don’t work hard. The last time
I made a move, it was her concubine who wanted to lure me to her and take some money to tempt me. Naturally,
I don’t. What
I plan in the future is to follow the young lady into the general’s office, where are these petty profits that can be lured.
But somehow her concubine mother was still able to speak in the mansion, and when she saw that I was not obedient, she became angry from embarrassment and took advantage of the young lady’s absence to order people to beat me with random sticks. I felt a chill in my heart
at that time, and I was afraid that I would die today.
Who would have thought that I was beaten to pieces, and when I was out of breath, the young lady came back.
I still remember that in a hurry, she didn’t even have time to drink the servants, so she threw herself on me and protected me below.
The servant was startled, his hand slanted, and the stick hit her on the head, and blood flowed to her face by an inch. The young lady of a
rich family was beaten by a servant until she was almost disfigured, but it was the concubine’s mother who instigated her. It was a joke to spread the word. When
Master Chiang heard this, he was furious. In addition, the young lady’s pear blossoms brought rain. There was a knife hidden in my words.
Her concubine mother was already showing signs of falling out of favor, and now she really lost everything.
My young lady is booked at Zhenbei General’s Office, and this matter is as stable as a rock.
I will lie down on a bed in the bedroom of a servant, and my body, full of wounds, will be nourished.
The young lady cried and her eyes were swollen, and she came with the soup she had boiled with her own hands and fed me in person. She could not be excused.
I watched her cry and worry for me, and now my heart is hot. There are not many people who
can jump on me to block the stick for me. Holding her hand,
I said to myself that no matter whether she came up to save me or to bring down her concubine, I would only treat her sincerely from now on.
I was still thinking, she has opened her mouth, she said that no matter I help her is sincere or to marry with her to the town north general mansion, get rid of the servant girl identity to be a concubine.
Today I did not betray her to be beaten for her, and she will only be sincere to me in the future. Whenever I think of
that day, I will smile.
Since I was born, it’s not often that it’s so warm.
Bring down the concubine mother, is about to marry to the town north general mansion, these two big happy events happened at the same time, she suddenly light a lot. There was no enemy in the
mansion, and no one was waiting to harm her. She took advantage of every season to enjoy the flowers, go for an outing, worship the moon, and swim in the lake. She was no longer confined in the mansion and dared not go out as before. Master
Chiang was distressed that she was almost disfigured, but he did not detain her. I was the only one in
the whole house who advised her to get married soon and not always go out willfully.
But she was really out of breath before, and once she relaxed, it was not so easy to be detained.
Seeing that I had persuaded her a lot, she simply stopped taking me when she went out.
I am a servant girl, even if I am intimate with the young lady, after all, there is a difference between high and low, I can only shut up.
Fortunately, the wedding day is coming, and it’s time for her to get married after playing for a few days.
In less than two months, the wedding day is coming.
I was too busy preparing for her marriage to care about her. I only knew that she was becoming more and more silent and thin, but I really had no time to pay attention to her.
I was negligent for two months, and she had an accident, the day before she got married.
That day I counted her dowry and prepared to get married, and I was busy until late at night.
She just looked at me in silence, pursed her lips and did not speak.
I felt strange and went to ask her, but she stared at me and turned the crowd away, her eyes red.
For a long time, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, “a bolt from the blue, she won’t marry.”.
I shook myself and nearly fell.
Thinking about her previous situation, something that she had always suspected and dared not say came to the surface: “Do you have someone in your heart?”?
She nodded, and without waiting for me to ask, she explained that the man was a scholar. They met by chance outside, and in a few months they made a promise for life, agreeing to depend on each other for life and death.
I asked her what she could do if she had someone in her heart when she was about to get married. What
she said next made my ears explode like thunder: “You marry for me!” Her face was flushed, and she told me the plan quickly with the determination of putting all her eggs in one basket.
The scholar’s ancestors are Jianghu people, who have the legendary human skin mask for a long time.
She asked us to exchange, saying that when she took me out, the scholar had already painted my face.
Now that the mask has been made, we only have to put it on and change our appearance.
I married for her, and she ran to find the scholar at night.
I held my forehead and felt deeply that my young lady was in love and was out of her mind.
I tried to persuade her to run away as a concubine. If she ran away like this, she would have no matchmaker and no job. If she married in the future, she would not even be able to write a marriage certificate.
She’s not afraid. Why do you want a marriage certificate if you love each other.
I also said that her beauty was hidden in the mask from then on, and she could not take it off when she wanted to, in case she was recognized and destroyed for the rest of her life.
She chuckled and said that the scholar loved her.
I couldn’t help it, so I said that if the mask of human skin was not strong enough to fall off, we would all have bad luck.
She took out two pieces of skin as thin as cicada’s wings and told me that the mask of human skin did not have the liquid medicine handed down by the scholar’s family until it died.
But I still don’t want to.
She suddenly knelt down to me and burst into tears and begged me to do it.
She said, “I will give you all the splendor and wealth of the General’s Mansion. You have planned for me with your heart, so that you will not be a servant girl, but will come with me to the General’s Mansion to be a housekeeper.”?
Now you don’t have to be a housekeeper. I’ll just give you the position of wife! I looked at her deeply. She had lost a piece of hair on her
head for me, and now she had a sparse strand of hair.
I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth and said, “I’ll help you.”.
“She was overjoyed, and I went on to say,” I did it for you to save me.
Otherwise, I am also arrogant, I would rather be a servant girl into the general’s office to lay the foundation, do not want to be a wife in the name of you.
That night I sat with the young lady and wept until dawn.
After daybreak, she took the bundle and eloped with the scholar, and I took the bridal sedan chair into the general’s mansion to be the mistress.
Worship hall bridal chamber, all for me.
I became the eldest daughter of the Chiang family, the young mistress of the Zhenbei General’s Office.
She turned into a servant girl who stole gold and silver and ran away. The people in
the general’s office are simple, and my husband is the only one.
But this single seedling is a playboy, listening to music and watching plays all day long, playing with birds and eagles, so angry that my father-in-law blows his beard and stares.
I heard that when the prince was not deposed, he had a green eye on him and preferred him to be his son-in-law.
But not long after the matter was ordered, the prince was deposed and his only daughter died of illness.
Now it seems that, fortunately, this matter is not done, otherwise the prince’s son-in-law is a dandy, spread out to lose the prince’s face skin also involved the general’s office.
Now that I have married him, I will not let him go on so dissolute.
Seeing that he eats soft and does not eat hard, I first threw myself into his favor every day, learning the songs he likes to sing and the plays he likes to listen to.
It’s just that I can’t learn it well, and I can’t sing it as well as the mynah in the yard.
I feed the birds he raises, tease the eagles he trains, give them whatever is good to eat, and within a few months I feed those flat hairs as round as pigs.
He saw that someone in the house was finally with him, and that he was not doing his proper work with him, but he also saw that I was curious.
It’s just that I’m tone-deaf, and singing makes him feel headache and fever. I really can’t sleep, so I get up and give me some advice.
I learned seriously and realized quickly, and he taught me more and more diligently. Every day before dawn, he pulled me up to hang my voice.
When I fattened his eagle, he was so angry that he ordered me to walk the eagle every day until he was thin.
He was afraid that I would hurt his eagle, so he followed me step by step.
As time went by, I became more and more intimate with him, and gradually became more and more talkative.
I can cook delicious food and tell stories, so he likes to revolve around me more and more, and he goes out less.
Xide Zhenbei General and his wife praised him for getting a good daughter-in-law. I tell him stories
every day.
From what I saw and heard as a refugee to the royal secrets circulated among the people, I changed the way to tell him something interesting.
He said, “I speak better than a storyteller, and I don’t have to go to a teahouse to listen to books.”.
One day I got up and told him a story about his ancestors.
General Zhenbei was hereditary, because he had a good great-grandfather. When he was a teenager, he fought against local ruffians to ensure the safety of one side. When he was in his prime of life, he joined the army to fight against barbarians. He made many military exploits and saved hundreds of surnames. In
folklore, he is a godlike hero. Although
my husband knows that his great-grandfather’s military exploits are outstanding, he has never heard of folklore.
My father-in-law is cautious and dare not talk about the heroes of his ancestors. He is afraid that my husband will be unruly when he is young, and he is even more arrogant when he knows it. Now
I tell him one by one. At first
he listened with great interest, but the more he listened, the more silent he became, but his eyes lit up.
From the moment I finished telling the stories of the old Zhenbei general, my husband walked with a straight back and a whirring wind.
He has learned martial arts since he was a child, and he has a famous professor of military strategy.
It’s just that he’s too playful and doesn’t work very hard.
Now he picked it up again and learned it again. He was quite clever. He worked hard. He danced with his sword in the morning, burned the midnight oil to read, and no longer lingered outside.
Within a year, his teachers said that he was now the best of his generation. On my way to
escape, I listened to many folk legends. There are many chaotic phenomena in today’s court.
The prince was deposed, and there were many people who took his wife. I told him all the stories I heard
on the way.
His family is peaceful and his native land is peaceful, unlike me, who came all the way to escape and heard and saw a lot.
He listened carefully to my folk rumors and frowned.
I interspersed with talking about the strength of character of the righteous men who had come to defend the country and the family in the past Dynasties, saying that he was still sitting in his study late at night and thinking about the situation in the court with his father-in-law.
The father-in-law wished he could get the ancestral temple to burn incense to his ancestors, and thanked his ancestors for blessing him. The only seedling was finally sensible. After
thinking about it for a few days, he said to me that if the court went on like this, there would be great chaos.
As a man, he should do something to set things right so as not to waste the reputation laid down by his great-grandfather.
Soon, my husband’s words came true. The four princes in the
court United with the barbarians in northern Xinjiang to rise up. It is said that on the day the four princes ascended the throne, sixteen States sent them to the barbarians.
At that time, the emperor secretly left the capital to escape. At that time, the flames of war continued and wars broke out frequently.
General Zhenbei was duty-bound to defend the territory against the enemy, and my husband followed his father-in-law into the army. My husband, like his great-grandfather, became a hero in folklore, starting as a
messenger, then as a vanguard officer, from small military exploits to capturing dozens of barbarian leaders. None of
these things are mentioned in my husband’s letter to me.
He only talked to me and missed the time when I told him stories.
From time to time, I picked up a flower in the battlefield, picked up a few beautiful stones, and sent them back to me from the positions of the two armies.
My mother-in-law is old, and I take care of all the affairs of the General’s Office at home, so that the house is clear.
Since I am the young mistress of the General’s Office, I should try my best to avoid all worries for him, and let him go to make contributions with peace of mind.
In my spare time, I looked at the dried flowers he sent back and played with the stones he picked up for me, but I couldn’t help smiling.
My husband is so silly and cute.
My husband led the troops to defeat the barbarians in the last battle, and became famous as a teenager in this battle.
But after all, the army is in the border, beyond reach, four princes earlier than capital to control the situation on the throne.
The four princes sent a message to write off the past. As long as they were loyal, Zhenbei General’s Office was still hereditary. When
my father-in-law and the generals in the army saw this, they could only accept the proposal with a sigh and be in harmony with the four princes.
My husband won’t. When he
came back, he always asked me to tell him stories over and over again, telling stories about his great-grandfather and the loyal ministers and righteous men who told folklore.
I saw him looking gloomy and unhappy every day. Although
I want to be with him day and night, I prefer my husband to be a man and have a good time in this world.
I persuaded my husband to find a place for my parents-in-law, and I did my best to serve them.
And he, on his own, went about his business.
In the future, life and death are all from the heart. I can take care of myself
at home.
My husband thought about it all night and left without saying goodbye in the early morning.
With the confidant he cultivated on the battlefield, he went to the capital to fight against the four princes and was escorted by the king.
It was a death wish, but my husband had a narrow escape from death several times, and it was really done.
My husband supported the deposed prince to ascend the throne, and the four princes were surrounded by my husband’s troops and demoted to the common people.
My father-in-law resigned, saying that he was old and needed to take care of his body, begging the emperor to give my husband the position of general in the north of the town.
The emperor promised to personally seal my husband, and my husband’s wife was honored to become a real general’s wife. Just
then, my young lady came back in tears.
She insisted that she had been drugged, woke up and somehow turned into me, was abandoned in the mountains, and almost lost her life.
Later, I met an expert and recognized that she was wearing a mask of human skin. I recuperated her for several years and gave her a potion to remove the mask and asked her to come back to me. No one believed
her words, but she had a scar on her head to block the stick for me.
What’s more, in front of everyone, she personally washed off her mask and became a living person.
I sat and watched her play.
Her eyes flickered and she dared not look at me, but kept looking down, revealing the scar on her head with thin hair in front of my eyes.
I looked at her hands. They were rough and dark.
It seems that the scholar didn’t let her live a good life.
Runners are concubines, and men who can let her elope regardless of her reputation are not bad if they don’t sell her at the end of their tether.
It’s just that the bitter days have made her cruel. When
she comes back, how can I deal with myself?
I looked back at my husband.
Over the past few years, he has become more and more handsome, no longer white, but with the taste of iron and blood, not angry.
Such a man, who can be willing to hand over.
I asked him, “Did you marry the eldest daughter of the Chiang family or your wife?”?
As a matter of fact, I don’t want to show myself as Miss Chiang anymore. I am the one who
teaches my husband, I am the one who serves my parents-in-law, and I am the general’s wife. I’m the one who fell in love
with my husband. It’s
not the eldest lady of the Chiang family.
I waited for my husband to answer, but after all, I was still a little nervous, and my palms were sweating.
One was a young lady from a rich family, and the other was a servant girl who married him. I don’t care what
others say. I just see what he says.
My husband remained silent.
Silence until I felt my chest from warm to cold, he still did not open his mouth to speak.
I laughed.
Just, the heart is cold and warm, since childhood not to see through, but also expect their own body can happen a miracle?
I reached out, took the potion from my young lady’s hand, and removed the mask.
The original appearance is revealed, the appearance is ordinary, not to mention Qingcheng, Qingcun is difficult.
No wonder my husband doesn’t want to open his mouth. A really beautiful daughter, a fake beauty or a servant girl, even for me, I know how to choose.
I left the General’s Office and went to live on a small Chuang Tzu they gave me.
The general’s office did not pursue my crime of impersonation, but still gave me a large sum of money, with servant girls and servants.
I didn’t get up until the third day of the day, teasing dogs and feeding cats, raising birds and eagles, inviting people to sing opera and music, and living the life of my husband when he was not married.
I don’t know what he’s doing now, but he’s probably going to marry someone else.
Even though I have always been cold-hearted, I can’t help feeling sad when I think about it.
I still have a lot of stories to tell, and he hasn’t heard the best story yet.
I sighed and squatted down to touch a cat in the yard. Somehow, tears fell on the cat’s head drop by drop.
The cat hissed and ran away, and I crouched where I was, tears falling and hard to stop.
A pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of me. Before
I could look up, the man squatted down, put his big hand on my cheek, and wiped my tears away. “I’ve never seen you cry.”.
I looked up, and there was my former husband. Looking
through his tears, he grinned, “I’ve come to take you back.”.
I wondered, could it be that he was going to war and needed me to stabilize the house?
Or has the story of my young lady and the scholar been discovered?
Or is the parents-in-law sick? Before
I had finished thinking about it, he laughed again. “Don’t think about it. There’s nothing going on at home.”. You’ve been
lying to me for years. You’d rather wear a mask than live with me in your true colors.
I also have to revenge you once, cold you, so that you also feel uncomfortable. When I
looked up at him, I was so surprised that my voice trembled. “Aren’t you going to marry someone else?”?
He reached out and pinched my cheek. Why should I marry someone else?
I haven’t heard enough of your stories. After
a pause, he added, “I can’t get enough of this in my life.”. Laughing with tears,
I threw myself on him and told him a new story.
When the prince was deposed, the four princes ordered people to kill the only son of the deposed prince in order to uproot him. In order to protect his son,
the deposed prince had to dress up his sister, who was very similar to him, as a boy, and ordered people to take him out to escape and attract people’s attention.
The real only son dressed up as a daughter, falsely claimed that he died of illness, and hid it.
Along the way, the escorts were hunted down and killed. In order to protect herself, the daughter of the deposed prince sneaked into a big family to be a servant girl, and married the person who had almost married at the beginning.
Her husband also fought north and south to pacify the world and made his father emperor.
Now that the deposed prince has become the new emperor, she still wears a mask of human skin and does not want to return to the identity of a princess. She just wants to be quiet with her husband.
Who would have thought that there would be such a thing as a dove occupying a magpie’s nest.
My husband was dumbfounded when he heard this. It took him a long time to say, “Did you deliberately infiltrate the Chiang family and deliberately train me like this to conquer the world for your father?”? As I
looked at him, I felt uneasy again and said in a low voice, “Yes or no, what are you going to do?”?
He pinched my cheek and said, “I can’t live without you now. What else can I do?” When I looked at him, the sun was just right and the courtyard was full of spring scenery.
He smiled and showed his white teeth, just like the young boy I had seen when I first met him. There was the sound of a galloping horse in the
distance. My husband turned back warily. I stopped him with a smile. “That’s the man who took me back to the palace. Get ready to pick me up, my son-in-law.”.
“. Focus on not getting lost ~”
