After Mingyue woke up, she replaced the jade cicada and asked Lushui to go to Shen Mama, the chief steward of the backyard of the house, to get the ice basin. Thinking of the aggrieved look when I came back from picking green rice at noon today, I knew that I would inevitably be ridiculed this time, so I specially instructed Lushui, now is an extraordinary time, endure everything, don't leave a tongue on others, and make trouble for the young lady.

Green Water nodded in response, stepped out of the courtyard with his feet raised, and walked along the verandah towards the other end of the courtyard. After passing through the Moon Cave Gate, he paused in his footsteps, turned around and took a shortcut to another road leading directly to the Gu Mansion Ice Cellar.

The usual quiet Yongdao, at this time, there was a burst of talking, and one of them had a particularly loud voice, and Lu Shui suddenly heard the voice of a silly girl.

The silly aunt is the youngest daughter of Mama Shen, and she had a high fever and burned out her brain when she was a child. Since Mama Shen's family is the son of the Gu Mansion, the silly aunt does some work in the mansion as a third-class maid. Some time ago, it happened that a third-class cleaning girl named Hongyu in Liuyun Academy was ransomed by her brother and sister-in-law, and there was no arrangement in the house for a while, so she asked the silly aunt to go to Liuyun to fill the vacancy.

On one side of the corridor next to the Gu Mansion is the back door of the big kitchen, what is the silly aunt doing here, and who is she talking to?

Since the accident in her yard, Green Water's nerves have been more sensitive than ever, and after a little thought, she flashed into the recess on the side of the stone wall of the corridor. That place is just enough to hide a person.

"Mother, what are you asking me to do here?" is the stupid girl's loud voice, and the call is actually "Mother", that is, Shen Mama, the head of the backyard of the house.

Lu Shui was secretly frightened in his heart, and hid his body inward again, next to the shady stone wall, pricking up his ears to catch the words seriously, lest he miss a word.

"Silly girl, be quiet, let's talk, don't alarm others. "It's really Mama Shen's voice.

"Hmm. The silly girl answered, and sure enough, her voice decreased, but she still heard it clearly.

"Silly aunt, I have wronged you at Miss Fifth these days. Mama Shen's voice came again, and her tone was kind and kind, if it were someone else, she would definitely think that this was a whisper between the two silly girls.

But Green Water doesn't think so. What kind of person is Mama Shen, that is the celebrity in front of the old lady, how many things in the house are still too busy, how can she have time to talk to her stupid daughter? Besides, if you want to say something considerate, you can wait until you go home in the evening, and you don't have to rush for a while.

Sure enough, Mama Shen's next words made Lu Shui's whole heart rise: "You are in the courtyard of Miss Five, you see Miss Five every day, how is she doing, is she doing?"

The tone is kind and soft, like the warm sun in early spring, but it sounds like a chill coming out of the bottom of my heart little by little.

Nominally to soothe, but in fact to inquire.

The reason why Mama Shen didn't look for others was to find a silly aunt. There are two reasons for this: one is that the silly aunt is her daughter and will not tell lies in front of her. The second is that the silly aunt is a fool, even if she is seduced, she will tell the truth to her most trusted mother.

Mama Shen is of course very sure about the daughter born from her womb.

"There's nothing wrong with Miss Five. The silly girl's voice was simple and pure, with a happy look on her face, "Fifth Miss has been very happy since she came back from Princess Zhaomin's mansion, and she also rewarded me with a lot of delicious things brought back from the princess's mansion to eat. ”

"Fifth Miss is very happy?" Mama Shen was slightly stunned, which seemed to be very different from her own inference, "It's not that you can't eat, you can't sleep well?"

The silly aunt shook her head: "No, the fifth lady ate deliciously, and she ate more than half of the food she came back, but a few sisters were sad all day, and they didn't eat a few bites of food, and all the dishes were allocated to me......"

The silly girl is stupid but not picky, but she doesn't care about what others give, she takes it all according to the order, and she is thick and fat, and she is blessed.

Seeing the puzzled look in Shen's eyes, the silly aunt thought that she didn't believe her words, so she couldn't help but be anxious, and without saying anything, she pulled Shen's grandmother to a large pile of small wooden barrels nearby and pointed it out to her: "Mother, look at it, all this leftovers are here." ”

Miss Gufu's food is naturally different from that of the slave maid, anyone can see it at a glance, Mama Shen looked at it with her eyes and was silent.

The green water poked its head out of the stone wall slightly, and when he saw the familiar row of small wooden barrels, he suddenly understood. This is the leftover food from each hospital, which is collected by each hospital, and then sent to the back door of the kitchen, waiting for Zhang Dafu's family to collect it. Recently, Zhang Dafu's pigsty has added a number of new piglets, and they are too busy to work, so the collection of leftovers has been delayed for some time.

Could it be that in the sweltering afternoon weather, Mama Shen wanted to check the leftover food situation in each courtyard? Lu Shui felt that things did not seem to be so simple, and she was about to find out more, when she saw Mama Shen hurriedly giving a few words to the silly aunt, and then turned around and left, going in the direction of the old lady's Fuci Courtyard.

The green water stayed in place for a while, until the coolness of the stone wall penetrated his whole body, and then he woke up. She really couldn't think of the celebrity Shen Mama next to the old lady asking the silly aunt about her girl's diet, so after thinking for a while, she decided to go get the ice basin first.

It was Li Dazhu's family who was in charge of the Gu Mansion Ice Cellar, and when he saw the green water coming, he didn't feel too embarrassed, but he only apologized and said that Shen Mama was not there, so he could only take some back first, and as for the rest, he had to return to Shen Mama first, and then send someone to send them over.

Lu Shui felt that it was reasonable for Lamei to say this, everyone is a slave, and slaves have their own rules for slaves, and it is not a good thing to exceed them, so he nodded and thanked them.

Back in Liuyun Courtyard, after a gap, Lu Shui told Gu Zhirong what he had just seen and heard in Yongdao, Gu Zhirong's eyes were still staring at the thick medical book, and he didn't raise his head and said: "So, Mama Shen in front of the old lady is in the same group as those guys who have been walking around our yard in the past two days and probing their brains?"

Lu Shui was surprised: "Miss, how do you know that someone is watching you in the past two days?"

In her eyes, in the past two days, her own young lady will eat when she arrives, and she will rest when it gets dark, looking dazed and ignorant of external affairs, but she doesn't want any movement in and out of the courtyard to escape her young lady's eyes and ears.

"They often walk around our yard, it's too noisy, next time you go out to chase them away, don't bother me. Gu Zhirong raised his head, pursed his moist cherry mouth slightly, and complained.

The green water was slightly stunned, the fifth lady inherited the beauty of her mother, Mrs. Su, and the outline of the beautiful woman at a young age clearly appeared, but I was afraid that in two years, I don't know what it would become. Just like now, her slightly angry expression, a pair of big eyes like resentment, makes people's hearts itch, and once wanted to rush out and drive away all those who are hiding in the shadows, so as not to disturb the tranquility of this little beauty.

However, if you talk about these people lurking near Liuyun Courtyard, they are involved in the people on the other side of the big house and the second room, how can they be moved by a humble girl?
