Chapter 127: The Past Past
"Back to the eldest lady's words, Du Caizhi said that the two young ladies of the Xu family are not masters who can follow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor the sake of his sister for the rest of his life, he is willing to let Cui Sleeve follow the eldest lady, life and death. ”
Hearing this, Du Caizhi was very determined and was a decisive person. The Xu family has been here for less than half a month, where does he have so much confidence in himself? Xu Wan couldn't help but be moved. He asked, "What does Emerald Sleeve mean?"
"Du Caizhi can be the master of half of his family, and Cui Sleeve himself is also happy. ”
Xu Wanzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, since that's the case, you tell Du Caizhi that tomorrow at the toon banquet, do as I say." Explain the matter to Xu Le'an, and said: "Just let Cui Sleeve remember." ”
After Xu Le'an retreated, Sang Zi asked worriedly, "Miss, will you anger Old Madam Lin like this?"
Xu Wanzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, a sly smile appeared on her lips, and said, "It's just to provoke her." ”
Cui Sleeve had a headache to see a doctor, and told Tu Manzhen to take two hours off. Since the last time she was ineffective and was injured by Tu Manzhen, in order to avoid gossip, Tu Manzhen let her rest in her room for a few days. Swift was originally a second-class maid, so she took the opportunity to enter Tu Manzhen's room and waited closely. Tu Manzhen doesn't rely on her as much as she used to, and it's easy for Cui Sleeve to take leave.
Shui Lan learned that Cui Sleeve was going out of the house, so she slipped in to help her clean up, and said disdainfully: "Swift's mother is just a rough mother-in-law, and she is also worthy of competing with Sister Cui Sleeve? ”
Cui Sleeve put some of the monthly money saved, and the silver bills, gilt silver hairpins, rulers and other valuable soft gifts from the New Year's Festival into a baggage, and the clothes worn were neatly folded and put into the suitcase. While packing, he said: "What are you talking about? If you are heard carefully, you will cause trouble." ”
"I just said this to my sister, there are so many people in the yard, I only serve Sister Cuisleeve. Seeing that she packed carefully, Shui Lan was surprised and said: "What are you doing with my sister? If you don't leave a few dollars in the yard, I'm afraid it won't be easy to live." ”
This truth, Cui Sleeve, as Tu Manzhen's first-class maid, certainly understands it. Money can make ghosts grind, Mrs. Lin is in charge of the family and keeps the money tight, and the mother-in-law at the bottom has no oil and water, if there is no money to open the way, nothing can be done.
But this time she knew in her heart that she might not be able to stay in this place for a few days. Taking advantage of this to leave the house, he put the accumulated money back home, but how could he tell Shui Lan about the inside story? Don't worry about me, it's enough. ”
said goodbye to Shui Lan, Cui Sleeve returned to the Du family in the back alley of Tu's house, and Du Caizhi was already waiting for her at home.
Cui Sleeve's original name was Du Qiuying, his father was the doorman of the Tu family, and his mother was the manager of the grain depot. Among the sons of the Tu family, there are two stewards in the family, and the daughter is the personal maid of the young lady, and the Du family is considered to be an upper-average family, which is somewhat decent. Life is not very good, but there will be no shortage of food and clothing.
A clean courtyard and a few tiled houses are Cui Sleeve's home. At this time, both father and mother are at work, which is just convenient for the brother and sister to talk.
Du Caizhi saw her come in and said, "Let me see, is the injury better?" Since the last time they parted, the two have not had a chance to meet. Although they work together in the Tu family, they have their own responsibilities, and it is not easy to meet without the assignment of the master.
Cui Sleeve said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, it's not serious, it's almost better." ”
Du Caizhi said with a straight face: "I fainted, it's not serious." How can that be considered serious?" pulled her over, looked at the light carefully, and saw that most of the scabs on the wound on the forehead had fallen off, and the skin around her was no longer swollen, but still a little bruised.
"Did I let Wu'er bring you the medicine?"
With his brother's care, Cui Sleeves smiled sweetly: "It's passed, thank you brother." ”
Du Caizhi bluffed and said, "There will be a next time, don't stand still stupidly." The appearance of the daughter's family is the most important, but fortunately, the injury this time is in the corner of the forehead. Even if there is a scar, it is not obvious. ”
Cui Sleeves responded, and Du Caizhi told her about Miss Xu's plan. Cui Sleeve was silent for a long time and said, "Brother, is Miss Xu reliable? I haven't dealt with her." ”
Du Caizhi smiled confidently and said, "Sister, don't worry, my brother is in charge of the horse, no one has seen it, and I still have this bit of eyesight." "When I drove the car to Mrs. Tu, I saw either high-ranking officials and nobles, or important ministers and Confucians.
"But," Cui Sleeve hesitated, "You haven't seen Miss Xu." If it's unreliable, isn't it?"
"How a master is, look at the subordinates he calls is the best judgment. Du Caizhi slowly said about his experience: "The subordinates look at the spirit and do things in order, so this master is not far behind." You see, you Wen Han Curie, isn't it true that a little girl will be punished in a few days? Even a first-class maid like you can't escape, this is the master's unkindness. ”
Cui Sleeve thought about it, and sure enough. I heard Du Caizhi say again: "I drove the car for the old lady, and I spent a lot of time messing with the coachmen in those mansions." If you see more, you'll know. Look at that Xu Le'an, who is less than twenty, can be the steward of the Xu family. In the Tu family, is that possible? The feed is still in the hands of Mrs. Lin. ”
"You see that Miss Xu is doing things, and I deliberately pinched the horses, and only asked Wu'er to inform her before the courtyard gate was locked. If it were Tu Manzhen, Wu'er should be given a good batch, right? I asked Wu'er later, and Miss Xu listened very quietly, so she let her go, and she didn't embarrass her at all. This is what Miss Xu understood at that time, someone was doing the trick. But she didn't get angry at all, this temperament, you can rest assured. ”
Cui Sleeve nodded and said, "What my brother said is reasonable, no matter how smart the master is, he has a bad temper, and we have no way to live as slaves." ”
"So, you can go in peace. If it weren't for Miss Xu's new arrival, there was only a first-class maid, and you wouldn't be able to do it, this is a good opportunity. Du Caizhi said with a smile: "Besides, my sister's talent and character, that is first-class good, and it is also Miss Xu's blessing." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother. It's just that if Miss Xu gets married in the future, it will be difficult to see you. ”
"Silly girl, women always have to get married. You are much better as Miss Xu's dowry maid than Tu Manzhen. Du Caizhi rubbed her head dotingly.
Cui Sleeves untied the baggage she brought back, put them one by one, and asked, "Did I tell my father and mother about this in advance?"
Du Caizhi waved his hand and said, "No, when the matter is done, it will not be too late for me to inform my father and mother of the truth." He glanced at her softness, sneered, and said, "You're a first-class maid, so you have such a little softness?"
Cui Sleeve pushed him away and said, "Naturally, you don't get as much as you follow the old lady." What does the government do without spending money?"
The two played for a while, cherishing this rare time between brother and sister. Cui Sleeve kept Du Caizhi's words in mind before returning to Tu's house. (To be continued.) )
