The April weather is getting warmer, and you can already see a little green on the branches of the tall old courtyard. The breeze blows, with the unique warm smell of spring.

"Little Hoof, let you guard the girl's medicine stove, you actually fell asleep!"

A maid of about twelve or thirteen years old, with a long face and single eyelids, pointed to the head of a seven- or eight-year-old maid leaning on the trunk of a tree, and reprimanded in a low voice.

The seven or eight-year-old little maid had obviously just woken up, and her face still had the red marks on her face that she had fallen asleep leaning against a tree. In front of her, a red casserole on the small red clay stove was gurgling, and the side of the medicine stove was full of spilled medicine.

The long-faced maid opened the lid on the medicine stove.

"You just look at the medicine like this, a pot of medicine has been dried by you, if I don't come out to see, your casserole will be boiled! Your heart is not on errands at all, I will return to Mama Zhao, you should go home. The twelve or thirteen-year-old maid saw that the bottom of the red casserole pot had dried and only brown stains remained, and she was angry.

When the seven or eight-year-old little maid heard Mama Zhao, her face turned pale, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground all of a sudden.

"Sister Xia He, I was wrong, don't hand me over to Mama Zhao, I won't dare next time. I will decoction this medicine again, and I will definitely not travel again! My sister will spare me this time, if I go back like this, my mother will beat me to death. The little maid pulled Xia He's clothes, tears and snot mixed together, looking very wolf.

Out of the room came a girl about the same age as Xia He, who seemed to be more gentle than Xia He. After listening to his ears, he knew what was going on, and when he saw the little maid pulling Xia He's wolf bèi, he stepped forward and said.

"The girl's affairs must not go wrong, no matter how big or small the matter, there is no need to beg for mercy next time, go directly to the house, I will tell Mama Zhao about this matter, and only deduct this month's monthly silver."

"Thank you, Sister Chuncao, there must be no next time."

Xia He saw that the little maid had red eyes, and she was busy swearing and swearing.

"Alright, who is impatient to listen to you. If you don't hurry up and re-decoction the medicine, what kind of work will be delayed! ”

The little girl didn't dare to delay, wiped her face with her sleeve, and ran away with a casserole used for decoction.

Seeing that Xia He was still puffing up, Chuncao pulled her and said.

"Let you go and talk to Madame about the girl's situation, what are you angry with a little maid. Your temper has to be changed, you don't remember anything as soon as your temper comes up, and Madame can't hurt herself anymore because she is in a hurry! ”

Chuncao's words made Xia He's face change, and he remembered that he came out to go to his wife's courtyard to report the situation of the five girls.

Just as she was about to leave, a slightly chubby grandmother of about forty years old walked over.

"Mama Zhao, why are you here, but Madame is worried about the girl's situation. Xia He was about to go back to his wife. Chuncao saw that Mama Zhao was coming, and knew that Mrs. was in a hurry, so she covered up for Xia He.

"Madame is anxious girl, I'll take a look for Madame, and I'll be more detailed when I go back." Mama Zhao has a kind face, as if she is a kind grandmother next door.

"The girl's complexion today is better than yesterday, she has already eaten milk three times, and she has just fallen asleep."

Xia He and Chuncao followed behind Mama Zhao and talked carefully about the situation of the little baby girl today.

Mama Zhao walked into the living room, on the wide rosewood bed, a thin and snow-white skinned, porcelain doll-like baby lying in the middle of the layers of curtains.

Mama Zhao walked to the bed, although the sun was shining outside, the light in the room was not good, and the bed was even darker. The baby's fair skin looked even smoother in the dim light, like a fine mutton fat white jade.

At this time, the eyes are closed, and the long, curly eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the white skin.

Mama Zhao's hand gently touched the baby's hand, which was very warm.

She looked at it for a while, then walked out of the room and asked some more detailed questions before leaving.

She really didn't dare to delay, if the lady couldn't wait for her to come, it would be bad.

"Madame must be very eager to see the girl, and ask her about her situation several times a day."

Chuncao and Xia He sent Mama Zhao away, relieved, Xia He sighed with emotion.

"I know that Mrs. is the tightest girl, and you have delayed the time for the little maid to sleep." Chuncao squinted and snorted.

"I just didn't delay, I guessed that I had to meet Mama Zhao on the way, and then I had to come back. Next time, it's better to go on point, and it must not be too late. ”

Xia He felt that he hadn't done a good job today, and he felt uncomfortable.

She and Chuncao were picked up by Mrs. for the little master before she gave birth. They are the children of the family, and since they were young, they knew that they would go into the house to serve their masters in the future.

They are really happy to be able to serve the little master. You must know that the Great Chen Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and their main family, the Ning family, is a hero who followed the first generation of emperors to fight the world.

The wheels of the years have been crushed, and most of the heroes who have been sealed together with the Ning family have gradually faded out of everyone's sight.

The Anguo Mansion is still prosperous and has become one of the top families of the Great Chen Dynasty.

As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister. In such a top-level powerful family, the servants who have to use them are better off than ordinary rich families.

For so many years, the relationship between the servants of the Ning family has been complicated and the competition has been fierce, and the servants used are all the children of the Ning family who have served the Ning family since their grandparents, and serving people is a skill point that has been there since childhood. The Ning family has heavy rules and thin heirs, which is simpler than the family relationship of most people in the capital.

Chuncao and Xia He are afraid of Mama Zhao, and it should be said that the little maids in the Anguo Mansion are afraid of Mama Zhao.

Mama Zhao is the grandmother of the third lady, and she has a very kind face. But her methods are enough to make a mistake once, and she will not dare to make it again after being punished by her.

Xia He looked fierce, but every time he saw Mama Zhao, he felt worried, wondering if he was doing something wrong. The point is that every time I think about it, I think about too many aspects that I can't do well, and then my whole heart feels like I'm soaking in ice water.

"Madame is going to have a double confinement child, and she can come out in more than 20 days. Be vigilant these days, Qian Niangniang will be back in the next two days, so we don't have to return more than a dozen times a day. ”

The two girls spoke in low voices, not noticing that the little baby lying on the bed had opened their eyes at this time.

"Why is it still here, is it like this in the underworld, with its red curtains?" Little babies find themselves able to see things in front of them.

"No, the drapery? How could there be such a thing! Even if there is a netherworld, it shouldn't be in bed! "The little baby seems to find out that something is wrong.

She tried to turn her head, but found that she couldn't move.

"Are you paralyzed?!" The little baby's expression was vivid at the thought of this possibility.

"I'm trying to kill myself, not self-harm! Committed suicide three times, don't sue me for finally going to die in bed, thief god you play with me! ”
