Xihua was carried back downstairs by several servant girls. Lying in bed and feeling drowsy. She was originally from a scholar's family, and her family was quite wealthy. Unexpectedly, after a plague, her parents and brothers died one after another. The tribesmen devoured her family's property and conspired to sell her to the villa, almost forcing her to commit suicide.
Although his life experience was miserable and he was mentally tortured, he never suffered much. He was pampered and pampered since he was a child. Where have I ever experienced such suffering? I lay down in a daze until it was completely dark before I woke up. I felt that my buttocks and legs were burning and painful, and the slightest movement felt like needle pricks.
The room was dark, there was no light yet, and I didn’t know what time it was. She reluctantly lay on her side, feeling thirsty in her throat. She propped herself up and touched the low cabinet beside the bed. There was nothing there.
She is usually the "popular person" of the villa. Not only is she almost a "student" in front of Zhao Yingong, she is also the number one person in Cihui Hall, and she is in charge of the children's studies. She is a "powerful" figure that everyone in the villa is afraid of. In addition, she has a strong personality, an arrogant heart, and no room for criticism in her eyes, so she easily embarrasses others. So although he does a lot of good things for the public on weekdays, his popularity in the villa is average. When I was beaten this time, there were many people who wanted to be beaten, but few who felt sorry for me. No one came to visit me, let alone someone to bring tea and water.
The moonlight outside the window was very bright, illuminating the square tiles in front of the window with white flowers. Xihua's nose was sore and she couldn't help but shed tears. She took out a handkerchief from under the pillow to wipe her tears. Suddenly, the door rang and opened slightly. Then it was Fenghua. She poked her head in, took a look, and made a gesture to Xihua. With a "silence" gesture, he walked in quietly. First, he closed the curtain on the window, then took out a pack of matches from his pocket, rubbed them, and lit the candlestick on the table.
"Sister Fenghua!"
"Shh..." Fenghua put his finger on his lips, put a basket in his hand on the table, and took out a few porcelain bottles, "Don't move while you lie down, I will apply medicine to you."
"Thank you, sister." Xihua didn't dare to say more. Afraid of letting out a loud voice, she buried her face in the pillow, tears already falling down her face. She has a lot of contact with Fenghua on weekdays and has very few personal relationships. Feng Hua has the most ordinary appearance among Zhao Yingong's "side servants", but he is a naturalized citizen from Lingao and is the oldest. He is one of the people Zhao Yingong trusts most. In the past, Xihua had always been dissatisfied that this girl with ordinary looks and knowledge could actually gain such trust from the master, so he always had a lukewarm attitude towards Fenghua. In addition, Fenghua is a generous person and has high popularity and prestige in the villa, which makes Xihua, who has always had a high self-esteem, gradually become alienated from her.
I didn't expect that she would come to take care of him. My heart felt warm. Also slightly ashamed.
Fenghua applied the medicine. Then he poured a bowl of concoction from the thermos bottle in the basket and fed her to drink it. The concoction is slightly bitter, but not unpleasant to drink. After drinking it, the originally hot body feels cool, and even the tingling pain in the legs is relieved a lot.
"This is the medicine I bought from Lingao. The master specifically asked me to get it for you." Fenghua said in a low voice.
"Um……"
Fenghua covered her body with a quilt, walked to the door gently, opened the door and waved. A figure flashed in. Xihua almost screamed when he saw that it looked like a man. Suddenly, he discovered that the person coming was actually Zhao Yingong!
"Master╠╠"
Zhao Yingong nodded, Fenghua had already brought a stool over, and Zhao Yingong sat down in front of the bed.
"I'm here to see you. Don't move. Just lie down. Does it hurt?" Zhao Yingong saw that she was about to straighten up and held her arm down with one hand.
Xihua is such a smart person. The master visited her private parts at night and came to visit in person, knowing that he must have a reason for her attack today. However, she was angry that she was clearly "petitioning for the people" and it was the master who told her that "education is fundamental" and "teaching and educating people is a century-old plan", but he was punished in public for this. She could still bear the physical pain. The humiliation she suffered was hard for her to let go of.
With such a mood, his words were naturally not gentle: "It is natural for the master to beat the slave, even if he beats him to death, he should do it. The slave dare not cry out for pain, because the slave deserves it!"
Just as Feng Hua was about to scold him, Zhao Yingong shook his head and said, "What happened today was originally done to you. You are such a smart person, you will never fail to understand."
"Yes, I understand." Xihua whispered.
"As for the workers in the silk factory you mentioned, I have already told the steward: starting from tomorrow, the operation will be changed to three shifts, with one break every hour. In addition, working meals have also been increased."
"..." Xihua's eyes widened, not knowing what the master meant. She always felt that the master was too cruel to the indentured slaves in the factory, and people would die in the factory sooner or later. That's why he came out to argue in excitement. Unexpectedly, the master accepted it all at once.
"Humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? How could I not know that the silk reeling field is like hell?" Zhao Yingong smiled slightly, then hid his smile, "It is easy for people to have small benevolence and small righteousness, but it is difficult for people to have great benevolence and righteousness. It is rare that you can deserve it. !”
Even Xihua, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, did not dare to accept such comments: "The master's words are serious, and I cannot live up to my words."
"Why can't you be accepted?" Zhao Yingong said eloquently, "You are the first-class errand in the villa, and you have the first share of money and food. Master, I trust you, you are a respectable person among the servants. Reeling silk There isn’t even a single relative or friend in the room, they are all people who have nothing to do with you. If you are willing to take risks and speak out for their welfare, how can you not be righteous?"
These words hit Xihua's heart directly. In fact, she didn't think so much when she first came out, but she was angry for a moment. Now that Zhao Yingong gave some advice, her originally vague feelings suddenly became clear and clear. For a moment, she just I felt mixed emotions inside, and I cried loudly on the pillow.
Fenghua hurriedly came up to comfort and persuade her, and it took a while to stop her tears.
"It's all my slave's fault..." Xihua's eyes were filled with tears and he was about to get up again.
Zhao Yingong stopped her: "There's no need to admit your mistake. You're right. The matter at the silk reeling factory was originally a temporary measure." He smiled again, "Besides, if you hadn't made a fuss today, how could you win people's trust?"
Xihua was a little confused. When he heard what he said, he felt like a hole in his heart and asked, "Master, you want me to be a slave?"
"Clever! I originally wanted to tell you this first so that you wouldn't feel uneasy. But since you feel better, it won't be a good play."
"I understand, I understand. What do you want me to do?"
Zhao Yingong's expression became serious:
"You two are my closest friends, so it doesn't hurt to tell you now: someone is secretly planning to destroy Phoenix Villa."
These words had less impact on Fenghua. After all, she was a naturalized citizen in Lingao. She knew the power of the Senate and knew that when she and the "chief" came to Hangzhou, they would go deep into enemy territory.
Since you are in enemy territory, you will fall into a life-and-death struggle at any time. But it's different for Xihua. She has a deep affection for Fenghuang Villa╠╠The girl who was originally going to fall into the world of prostitution, under Zhao Yingong, not only turned herself around, but also watched the master gradually expand Hangzhou's industry from Wanbi Bookstore to such a scale. Especially since Cihuitang was established, how many people who would have died of starvation have survived from last year to this year. She knows very well how to manage the general affairs in Cihuitang.
For people like Xihua, Phoenix Villa is almost like her home. When I heard that someone was going to destroy this place, I couldn't help but widen my eyes and asked eagerly:
"Master! Who is so cruel?"
"I don't know yet, so I want you to find them. Are you willing?" He paused, "You are going deep into the tiger's den, and you may have a narrow escape. If you don't want to go, I will never blame you. For you."
"My slave is willing!" Xihua said without hesitation, "I will tell my slave what to do."
"Okay." Zhao Yingong was deeply satisfied that he had read her correctly. "Don't be impatient. I'm afraid there has been a traitor in this villa for a long time. Today you have received family law, and naturally someone will come to seduce you. All you need is Just let nature take its course.”
"Yes! This slave knows." Xihua responded, "What if no one comes?"
"Don't worry, someone will definitely come." Zhao Yingong smiled, "Only Fenghua and Zhao Tong know about this in the villa. If you have anything to do, just contact Fenghua, and she will tell you all the rest."
"So, her popularity in the villa is average?" Hao Yuan put down the investigation materials written by Gou Chengxuan in the book.
"That's right, insiders say that this Xihua usually has a high self-esteem and a bad temper. All the managers in the villa, big and small, will embarrass others on the spot if they don't go her way. There are many people who hate her, but she This person is very strict in everything she does and follows the rules of the villa, making it difficult for people to catch her. So she is even more disgusting."
"Oh?" Hao Yuan pondered for a moment, "You're talking about managers, but I'm asking about ordinary people, such as refugees, slaves, and female workers."
"She doesn't interact with them much on weekdays, and the people below her think she has an arrogant temper. But she is fair, considerate of the people below, and willing to speak up for others, which is quite prestigious." Gou Chengxuan said, "This time she was moved by Zhao Tuzi. The family law is to stand up for the female workers at the silk reeling field. According to insiders, this matter does not seem to be a fake affair at the silk reeling field. She said many days ago that she would report it to Zhao Tuzi. "
"It seems that this woman really has a bit of a chivalrous heart." Hao Yuan declined to comment on whether she was committing fraud. He raised his face and looked at the low ceiling for a while, then asked, "Did anyone go see her afterwards? What will Zhao Yingong do with her in the future?"
"I heard that Fenghua went to see her and gave her some sore medicine. This is what it should be. Zhao Tuzi has nothing new to do. The news from the steward's room only said that she should rest for a few days."
Hao Yuan nodded: "Listen, this is what we will do next..."
