When Qing Wen regained consciousness, she opened her eyes and saw a moon-white bed curtain embroidered with small yellow flowers.
She smelled the bitter smell of the medicine soup.
She turned her head with some effort and saw a strange room, a strange box, and a dressing table.
What was this place?
Next to the boxwood dressing table, a thin lattice window was half open, and an unknown bright red flower was swaying outside.
The red flower and green leaves were extremely beautiful, making people happy when they saw it.
Although she was still weak at this time, Qing Wen couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Had he been saved by someone?
While she was guessing where this place was, the half-closed door was suddenly gently pushed open. A little girl in a blue dress and yellow skirt came in with a blue and white porcelain bowl. When she saw Qing Wen, she said in surprise, "Qing Wen, you're awake. How do you feel now?"
After looking at her carefully for a long time, Qing Wen asked hesitantly, "You … seem to be Xiao Luo from Baoqin?"
Xiao Luo nodded and said with a smile, "You woke up at the right time. The medicine just came out. Drink it while it's hot …" As she said, she helped Qing Wen sit up and put a big yellow pillow behind her back. Finally, she handed the medicine bowl over.
Qing Wen took the medicine bowl, but didn't drink it immediately. Instead, she asked, "Why am I here?
Could it be that Second Master Bao asked you to come and save me? "Her eyes flashed with hope.
"How could Second Master Bao have the time?"
Xiao Luo pursed her lips and said, "It was Miss Lin who knew about you and asked our girl to save you."
Hearing this, the hope in Qing Wen's eyes faded. She said with a bitter smile, "I thought … Well, it turns out that I'm not that important in his heart …" She raised her head and drank the medicine soup. Because she drank it too quickly, she choked and couldn't help coughing violently.
Seeing this, Xiao Luo hurriedly reached out and patted her back. She said angrily, "You, why are you still concerned about that heartless person?
Take care of yourself quickly. Don't let down Miss Lin and our girl's feelings for you … "
Qing Wen looked dazed and fell into the past.
Scenes flashed in front of her eyes and then gradually disappeared.
When she met Baoyu for the first time, she was shy and helpless. When they spent day and night together, she struggled to repair Baoyu's troublesome sparrow gold fur coat despite her illness. In the end, it was fixed on Baoyu's heartless back … Now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that the two of them had feelings for each other. In fact, it had always been her one-sided sacrifice.
That Second Master Bao, in fact, simply treated her as a beautiful bird that was being raised by him … Everything that had happened in the past had turned into a fleeting cloud of smoke.
She just thought that she died once. In the future, she would be a new person …
Qing Wen just got a little better and could get up. She strongly requested to visit Baoqin.
After getting Baoqin's permission, Xiao Luo took Qing Wen to Baoqin's room.
Qing Wen stepped into the room nervously. She looked up and saw Baoqin sitting under the window. Baoqin was wearing a loose, half-worn begonia red dress. She was holding a scroll and reading quietly.
The sunlight outside the window reflected her side profile. She was so beautiful that she didn't seem to belong to the mortal world.
She was wearing small pearl earrings. A strand of black hair fell down and playfully brushed her white jade-like cheeks in the breeze … Unconsciously, she was stunned.
Such a beautiful scene, no matter who it was, they would be stunned, right?
"What are you looking at?" Baoqin put down the scroll and asked Qing Wen with a smile.
Qing Wen finally reacted and couldn't help blushing.
However, she immediately knelt down and said sincerely, "Miss Baoqin has given Qing Wen a new life. I can't repay you. I only hope that I can stay by your side and experience everything together in the future …"
Baoqin didn't immediately agree. He stretched out his delicate and slender fingers and gently tapped the table rhythmically. He said slowly, "Actually, if you want to go back to Second Master Bao's side, I can put in a good word for you.
What do you think? "
Qing Wen was slightly stunned at first, but then she replied, "I came from there and almost lost my life.
I don't want to go back there anymore … "
Baoqin looked at Qing Wen with his watery eyes, as if he wanted to look into her heart, "Then, what about your feelings? What about them?
Are you going to give up just like that? "
Qing Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Although I haven't read many books, I still understand the principle of giving up if the husband doesn't have feelings for me.
The former Qing Wen is dead. Now, I only want to have you in my heart. "
Baoqin said, "Actually, Second Master Bao may have a place for you in his heart.
He just doesn't understand the ways of the world and doesn't know how to treat you, who is penniless and sick after being driven out. "
Qing Wen shook her head slowly and said, "It's not that he doesn't understand. It's just that I'm not important enough for him to understand.
If Xiren was the one who was driven out that day, maybe things would be different. "
Baoqin said, "So, you're determined to stay with me?"
Qing Wen bent down and kowtowed to Baoqin. She said resolutely, "Yes, please help me."
Baoqin said again, "You should know that I'm destined to enter the palace in the future.
Life in the palace won't be easy.
I'll be in danger of losing my life at any time. Are you mentally prepared? "
Qing Wen said, "You saved Qing Wen. Qing Wen's life is yours.
I've already died once. What's the big deal if I die again? "
Baoqin finally smiled when she heard this.
She stood up and walked to Qing Wen. She helped her up and said, "From now on, you're my Da Ya maid.
You and Xiao Luo should work hard together. "
Qing Wen was overjoyed when she heard this and replied, "Yes, Miss. Qing Wen will definitely do her best and won't dare to slack off."
Since then, Qing Wen stayed by Baoqin's side and became her Da Ya maids along with Xiao Luo.
She was intelligent and was especially good at embroidery. She was also literate and could help with the account books.
After getting Qing Wen, Baoqin had one more capable assistant and the burden on her shoulders was much lighter.
She couldn't help but feel lucky that she saved Qing Wen for Daiyu's sake. Sure enough, she was rewarded.
Although Qing Wen had already come to Baoqin's side, the indenture contract was still with the Jia family. This matter had always been weighing on her mind.
However, Baoqin didn't have to wait for her to speak. She solved this matter.
She didn't go through Lady Wang. She directly asked for Qing Wen's indenture contract from the Jia family.
After learning about this matter, Qing Wen was very happy and repeatedly thanked Baoqin.
She had always been worried that Lady Wang wouldn't let her go and would make a fuss about her indenture contract.
Now, that trace of worry had disappeared without a trace.
Baoqin didn't follow the example of some time-traveling seniors and give Qing Wen's indenture contract to her to keep. She also didn't directly remove her slave status.
After all, one couldn't judge a book by its cover. She was going to enter the palace in the future.
With the indenture contract in her hands, she could control some of the servants.
Otherwise, if the people around her betrayed her, not only would she be in danger, but she would also harm everyone in the Xue family.
Xue Baoqin was such a realistic person.
She didn't dare to have too many naive fantasies about human nature.
Her behavior didn't mean that she didn't trust Qing Wen. It was just that she was preparing for a rainy day.
The autumn air was refreshing, and the chrysanthemums in Xuan Shan Temple were in full bloom. They could be said to be beautiful and beautiful.
Yao Huang Wei Zi, Da Hong Pao, Sky Full of Stars, Zui Yang Fei … There were all kinds of flowers here.
Therefore, during this period of time, there were a lot of pilgrims in Xuan Shan Temple. The guest monks were so busy that the soles of their feet were broken.
The monks who answered the pilgrims' questions had their mouths dry from talking.
It was really hard to be idle and hard to be busy.
However, in comparison, they would rather be busy.
Today, the weather was good. The sky was blue, and there were no clouds for thousands of miles.
The golden sunlight shone down on the ground, making people's bodies feel warm, and so do their hearts.
Early in the morning, outside the temple gate of Xuan Shan Temple, pilgrims were weaving and bustling.
Looking at the roadside, there were many stalls and peddlers who were rushing to earn money for the season.
There were herbal tea stalls, noodle stalls, wonton stalls, and small stalls selling thread incense. The products ranged from small incense sticks to incense sticks as thick as a child's arm.
There were also young and strong peddlers who sold handkerchiefs and silk threads on their poles to young ladies and young wives.
Looking at his honest and handsome smile, many young ladies and young wives who didn't want to buy anything couldn't help but take out their money bags to buy one or two things.
Therefore, it had to be said that there were people who liked appearance in both ancient and modern times.
Most of the young ladies living in the capital were from good families. Their faces were fair and clean, and they looked generous. In addition, they were young and beautiful.
Therefore, they all looked very pleasing to the eye.
However, among this group of young ladies, that one was still the most outstanding.
Whenever the eyes of passers-by swept over her, they couldn't turn away.
They couldn't help but admire her in their hearts. There was such a beauty in the world. Could it be that a fairy had descended?
