Chapter 58: Adding people to the hospital
After Jiang Yan left, the night sky was dark and cloudy, and occasionally there were a few low thunders, and the rain gradually became heavier.
The rain didn't stop completely until the morning, but it was much lighter than at night, and the fall of an autumn rain made the weather change suddenly, Gu Xiangyi only felt that the quilt sent by Fu's orders yesterday was really good, and this kind of weather was just right to resist the cold.
What they didn't expect was that breakfast was brought from the kitchen, which was 'carried' by three people together, and in the past, one person brought it.
One person is holding an umbrella, one is holding a food box, and the other person is holding an umbrella in one hand and a food box in the other.
Scallion oil flower rolls, chicken porridge, steamed white shrimp, steamed dates, and two dishes of pickled side dishes, one is a radish strip with sauce, and the other is a small pickle that Gu Xiangyi can't name because of the sauce.
On such a wet and cold day, drinking a bowl of hot porridge, the master and servant felt that the cold on their bodies was driven away.
At noon, the weather was cool after the rain, and Zhou's mother once again boarded the door of He Yinju.
"The eldest lady said that there are too few maids serving in the courtyard of the six girls, so it is not a good look. Mother Zhou looked behind her as she spoke, there were a few maids standing behind her, the youngest should be a few years younger than the pomegranate, and the oldest was only sixteen or seventeen, and continued: "Today, the slave maid has added people to He Yinju for the eldest lady, and the six girls pick a few close to use, and if they don't like it, they will make the sprinkler sweep a yard, and the left and right are the girl's people." ”
Gu Xiangyi smiled: "Mother Zhou, what are you talking about, my yard has always been served by Pomegranate alone, and my mother didn't know it on the first day, why did she send me so many people today?"
Several maids hung their heads, and Zhou's mother was nervous.
Just because of the uncle's words, the eldest lady didn't dare to treat He Yinju harshly, let her give it away today, I didn't expect this dead girl to dare to take Qiao?
"Isn't this afraid that a maid will not be attentive? Mother Zhou said with anger in her heart.
"When my mother treated me harshly on weekdays, I couldn't wait to keep even a maid, but now why does Zhang Luo have all the staff?" Gu Xiangyi asked.
Zhou's mother hated to pinch her to death.
It seems that she is relying on her uncle to treat her well for so many days, and she is going to completely tear her face with the eldest lady? This kind of petty family really can't have a backer, and it doesn't make people feel ashamed! If she is so arrogant now, it may not be what will happen in the future!
"Sixth girl, the slave knows that she shouldn't say this, but she has to say it. Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "You must know your life experience, not to mention that the eldest lady does not treat you badly, as a beautiful lady, the most important thing is to be sensible and obedient to the elders, but where is the sixth girl obedient to the eldest lady? If the sixth girl is more sensible in the future, the eldest lady will treat you well and treat you as a daughter!"
Not only Gu Xiangyi, but even Pomegranate felt a sneer in his heart.
Fu Zhirong has done everything perfectly, and now she is here to give benefits again, telling her what she can do Mother and daughter? her mother and daughter, so that no one will fall for her!
Zhou's mother is right. Gu Xiangyi looked at the few maids behind her with a smile, and asked in a loud voice, "What are you all called, where did you come from, and what kind of work have you done before?"
A few maids looked at each other, but few dared to speak, Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed on her face, and said, "If the sixth girl asks you, answer truthfully!"
A maid knelt on the ground when she heard this: "The slave maid Qiaoyue was originally by the side of the eldest lady of Huanxiangyuan, and she was tending to flowers and plants on weekdays." ”
Gu Xiangyi glanced at the pomegranate, and the pomegranate immediately understood what she meant: "There are no flowers and no grass in Heyin Curie, what are you doing here? Are you still planning to come here for a leisurely meal?"
The maid named Qiaoyue bit her lip lightly, and was silent for a long time, as if she didn't know how to say the next sentence, or Zhou's mother relieved the siege and said: "This is called Qiaoyue, who is the most clever on weekdays, she is the one who came here to wipe the ashes yesterday, and she can pick up any work, the sixth girl don't look at her thin, but she is more capable and sensible than the others next to her." ”
"In that case, then take her. Gu Xiangyi said with a smile: "Next." ”
The maid next to Qiaoyue stepped forward and knelt down: "The slave maid is named Zhuling, and what she usually does in Juxiangyuan is to watch the tea, and most of the tea used by the eldest lady is made by the slave maid." ”
"The eldest lady drinks tea every day, and it can't be without you. Gu Xiangyi said to Zhou's mother: "Mother endured the pain and cut her love, and actually sent all the maids who watched the tea, I don't know what my mother wants to do when she drinks tea in the future?"
Zhou's mother replied weakly: "Naturally, there are newcomers to make up for it." ”
Gu Xiangyi asked again: "Can this Zhu Ling be proficient in pharmacology?"
Zhu Ling trembled, and so did Zhou's mother.
People can open their mouths and say that you understand pharmacology, this is not a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, it is impossible to hide it, it is difficult to be found in the future, so Zhu Ling can only stubbornly answer: "The sixth girl is really smart, and the slave does know some pharmacology." ”
"No wonder it's a medicinal herb for the name. Gu Xiangyi said: "Mother Zhou, I can't use this maid, it's not easy for her to manage it on weekdays, don't delay my mother's tea, then it's my fault for being a child, presumably my mother is used to her making tea in a few years, how can I rob the people around my mother?"
Mother Zhou's expression flickered, but she didn't say more, only said that she would let Zhuling continue to go back to Huaxiangyuan to make tea.
Gu Xiangyi is not lacking in heart, what do people want a maid who understands pharmacology to do? This He Yinju does not send new tea once for half a year, and what he drinks is always the tea residue in the library, not even miscellaneous tea, what kind of tea is used with her? That is the drunkard's intention is not to drink, and he has another idea!
Pomegranate also understood right away.
Leave the bamboo ling, that is to put a poisonous snake in Heyinju! Although the girl is not afraid, but there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, it is just a matter of being taken advantage of by her to inquire about some news, but what if she poisons the food and tea? What if you understand what kind of food is mutually restrictive, and send unbroken kidney beans like last time? It is simply impossible to prevent it!
Most of the people sent by Zhou's mother were brought back intact, and in the end, Gu Xiangyi only left three people.
Qiaoyue, who is tending to flowers and plants, is afraid that she will not be able to do her original work anymore in He Yinju, Gu Xiangyi plans to let her do some rough work, sweeping the floor and wiping the table. Other than her, it was the smaller Yuru and the larger Xiaoyun.
Closing the door of He Yinju, Pomegranate also took out the big girl's style at this moment, straightened his waist and looked at a few maids.
What if even if she came from Huanxiangyuan? Now her own girl has the support of her uncle! The uncle is the only head of the family in this uncle's mansion, and even the eldest lady does not dare to confront the uncle! The people she sent are the ones who obey the call, and if they are disobedient, they will be beaten, and there is no need to pay homage to them, just like coaxing the ancestors.
"Our Heyin Temple is small, and there are not many places to serve, but it doesn't mean that you can be lazy if you have less work to do. The girl is not used to being served by outsiders, and you are not allowed to enter the inner room in the future, and you are not allowed to move the girl's food, do you hear clearly?"
When they first arrived, even if someone was not convinced by the pomegranate, they were not allowed to say anything, and there was always an opportunity to show their ability, and if they had just come to conflict with the maid next to the girl, it would not be a wise move.
Sitting on the rocking chair that was newly moved yesterday, Gu Xiangyi closed his eyes and recuperated while listening to Pomegranate speak, and interjected from time to time: "Except for the inner room, there is usually no place that needs to be served, then it is not allowed to dangle in front of my eyes, whether it is to lock yourself in the house, or to go out for a walk, I don't like to be quiet, I hope you are all vigilant, if there is a noisy move, then I don't need to say, I went to Huanxiangyuan and returned to my mother, get out of our Gu family." ”
Several maids said yes in unison.
Slightly tired back to the inner room, Pomegranate carefully took off the girl's coat, took a closer look at the wound, and said worriedly: "The eldest lady got three people to enter our Heyin Residence, I'm afraid it's not good, if Jiang Gongzi and them come again, they will inevitably run into them." ”
"It doesn't matter. Gu Xiangyi waved his hand: "In a few days, I will drive out if I have different intentions, that Qiaoyue can't be kept, and I look at the other two honestly, you should keep more eyes on it recently." ”
"Yes, girl. ”
On weekdays, Jiang Yan would enter He Yinju at night to treat the injury on his sister's left arm, but recently, before climbing over the wall, he noticed that the branches outside the wall were tied with an inconspicuous strip of cloth.
He had consulted with his sister, and if it was not convenient for them to enter, she would tie strips of cloth to the branches outside the wall. It's just that I got a wound when I climbed over the wall today, and Gu Xiangyi, who was in pain, couldn't sleep at night.
"Brother Xiao, let's go. Untying the strip of cloth, Jiang Yan turned back to Xiao Jingyao and said, "My sister is afraid that it is inconvenient." ”
The food box in the hands of the two seemed to be a little heavier at this moment, Xiao Jingyao knew that he was also worried about the people in the courtyard like himself, so he smiled with relief: "Let's take it back and eat, I recently got a good wine, let you taste it, and come back another day." ”
Jiang Yan nodded: "What Brother Xiao said is true." ”
In the alley next door, Yi Jingxiao's deep eyes stared at the two people outside, and when he turned around after Jiang Yan took off the cloth strip, Yi Jingxiao was slightly surprised.
He knew that Gu Xiangyi and the Ning family must be inextricably linked, and he also knew that Jiang Yan, the son of the Jiang family, was driven out by his father, but no one knew where he was now, and it was indeed surprising to see him outside the walls of Zhongyibo's mansion now.
It turns out that Gu Xiangyi is also related to Jiang Shi, and Jiang Shi is a famous medical saint in the capital, isn't it...
Gu Xiangyi's injuries were treated by him?
For Xiao Jingyao, Yi Jingxiao also understands the person, the two don't know each other, but they both know each other, they have met a few times at other people's banquets, and they have eaten wine once, but they are all friends with friends, and a group of people who don't know each other are sitting together, and it is not that he and Xiao Jingyao know each other.
