Didn't this set of brocade quilts just come over yesterday, or the finest silk fabric, it was burned like this, it's a pity, one of the middle-aged servants whispered, "Fifth Miss, does Mrs. know about this matter?" ”

Wang's family was born in a family of merchants, and he is more or less a small family in the world, and he is careful, if he is left in the homes of ordinary people, he is also a good housekeeper, but after all, it is a prince's mansion, how can he take care of it like an ordinary businessman's house, but Murong He doesn't care about anything, Wang's food and clothing in the house are more and more careful, what should be deducted is deducted, and what can be saved is saved, naturally, there is excess silver in the warehouse every month, Wang handed over most of it, and he also kept some private money from Murong He, Murong He saw that the silver did not decrease but increased, He trusted the Wang family even more, and assured that the Wang family would continue to take care of the Jiyang Hou Mansion. This servant woman who opened her mouth to question Murong Qingran was placed by the Wang family around Murong Qingran's courtyard to monitor Murong Qingran's words and deeds, and even if she said it, Murong Qingran couldn't say a few words a day. Because Murong Qingran is withdrawn and doesn't like to be served, these servants except for sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard on weekdays, occasionally, Granny Zhou may assign them to do some work, and nothing else will have to be done, and when they finish sprinkling and sweeping, Murong Qingran will let them leave immediately.

Granny Zhou glanced at this somewhat raw servant woman, thick flesh and round face, a snarky and mean like, if she remembers correctly, this person is a distant cousin of Wang's mother's family, separated by a relatively long distance, it was Mrs. Wang who sent people over, and the Wang family couldn't get rid of it, so they stayed.

On weekdays, this Wang Ma reports everything to the Wang family, even such trivial things as sesame mung beans, she said, for example, the kitchen picked rotten vegetable leaves to buy vegetables today to be shoddy, such as which little maid in the house married a maid, and which aunt's sister came to fight the autumn breeze again...... There are no things in the house, chasing after the wind and shadows, when she says this, often the Wang family believes it is true, and there has been a recent incident in the house, and she is indispensable every time she fanning the flames.

"This is what Master Hou meant." Granny Zhou snorted, "If Madam asks, let her go directly to Master Hou." "Looking for Murong He for such a trivial matter, the Wang family will not go, at most he will scold Miss Fifth in the background for a few words of loser, and then deduct some from Miss Five's monthly money for the next month.

Murong Qingran also said coldly, "Do what Granny Zhou said, isn't it just a few brocade quilts, I am dignified in the Marquis of Jiyang, the famous family of Qizhou, can't I even take out a few broken quilts!" ”

"Fifth Miss is angry, it's the old slave who is talking too much." When Wang Ma saw that Murong Qingran was angry, she was so frightened that she dared to say another word, hurriedly picked up the brocade quilt on the ground, and fled out of Murong Qingran's house.

And the remaining servant, under the call of Granny Zhou, wiped the low couch again.

"There, there, how did you wipe it, you didn't see such a big layer of dust, heh... He also said that he was an old man in the house, and he couldn't do these things well, so what's the use of keeping them! ”

"Move quickly, it's so slow, do you want Miss Five to stand on the ground all the time!"

……

Granny Zhou deliberately scolded loudly and commanded indiscriminately, the low couch had been wiped spotlessly, and she still had to let the servant continue to wipe it.

The people of the Wang family, how to extinguish this fire without torture, Granny Zhou is not so much tossing this servant woman, but making Murong Qingran laugh, Murong Qingran shook his head lightly, "Nurse, it's okay." ”

"Since the young lady has spoken, you, hurry up and bring the new mattress and brocade quilt." Granny Zhou picked up the feather duster and hit the servant woman hard, "Go quickly, do you want the old lady to kick you to get it!" ”

The servant woman was miserable, and Wang's mother was even more frightened, no wonder Miss Fifth had a bad temper, it turned out that it was all taught by this Zhou Niang.

After a while, the new mattress and brocade quilt were changed, and Granny Zhou waved her hand to let the two of them retreat, and Wang Ma was relieved.

"Mother Wang, wait a minute." Granny Zhou suddenly called out to Wang Ma again, Wang Ma's whole body trembled, her eyes stared at the feather duster in Zhou Nanniang's hand, her old bones, she couldn't withstand this beating.

Granny Zhou shook the feather duster in her hand, and said slowly, "Fifth Miss is closed for cultivation within this month, you don't have to come to sweep the yard every day, Hou Ye has already agreed to this matter, and he also told the housekeeper in the house." ”

"Yes." Coming to Murong Qingran to sweep this yard, Wang Ma herself was not happy, but Wang told her so, she couldn't help it, who wants to come to see Miss Fifth all day long, in case Miss Five is in a bad mood and takes them out, they can't say that they are suffering, Mrs. is angry again, and she can deal with Miss Five, at most, she will punish Miss Five for grounding.

"Fifth Miss, the slave maid has sent you dinner on the orders of the marquis." At the same time, there were a few maids outside the house, led by a green-jacketed maid, about eighteen years old, with bright eyes, very lovable, and the most favored maid by Murong He's side, named Mercy Shuang.

When Wang Ma saw the mercy of the frost, she was surprised, this is a master who even laughs with the lady when she sees it, her face is the personal maid next to Hou Ye, but she is actually Hou Ye's woman, and sure enough, the rumors in the house are true, among the five young ladies in the Hou Mansion, in fact, Hou Ye hurts the most is this fifth lady.

Mother Wang didn't dare to offend Murong Qingran even more, and retreated tremblingly, thinking that she should quickly tell Mrs. Sù about this, so as not to make the fourth lady suffer.

Lian Shuang carried the food box into the house by herself, and the few maids she brought with her were left outside.

"Put it here." Granny Zhou pointed to the table on the side.

Murong Qingran lifted the bead curtain and walked towards the inner room.

"Miss Five, these dishes are your favorite, you have to eat them while they are hot, they won't taste good when they're cold." Lian Shuang was so anxious that she shouted to Murong Qingran, Hou Ye's thoughts on this fifth young lady, others don't know, she saw it in her eyes, although Hou Ye didn't say it explicitly, but she saw it really, shh

"Miss Ben has no appetite right now." Murong Qingran coldly dropped a sentence and disappeared.

Lian Shuang had long expected that Murong Qingran would have this reaction, and the corners of her mouth sneered, what kind of shelf did Miss Hou Fu put on, it wouldn't be long before she was not a woman who served Hou Ye and became Hou Ye like her.

"There's a lot of this dish." Granny Zhou opened the food box, it was indeed a delicious mountain delicacy, abalone and sea cucumber, so she picked up the chopsticks and prepared to feast.

"Granny Zhou, this is the meal that Hou Ye prepared for the fifth miss!" Mercy hurriedly stopped.

Grandma Zhou grinned and said, "You also know, Miss Five's diet is picky, too hot, too cold, too salty, too light, she doesn't like it, there is a new chef in the house recently, but it is really bitter Miss Five, she has not eaten a meal well in the past few days." Since this is the intention of the Hou Ye, it must be the appetite of Miss Hewu to cook the dishes. Be cautious, I'll try it for Miss Five first. ”

Quickly picked up the chopsticks and put a mouthful of fish meat in her mouth, and in the stunned eyes of Lianshuang, Grandma Zhou spit it out, "The fishy smell is so strong, how do you let Miss Five eat, fortunately, it was the old lady who tasted it for Miss Five first, otherwise Miss Five wouldn't have eaten it tonight." ”

"Look, why are the leaves of this green vegetable so unfresh, how can you let Miss Fifth bite it!"

"And this shrimp, the shrimp shell hasn't been cleaned, what's the matter!"

……

Every time Granny Zhou tastes a bite of food, she picks bones in the eggs, and Pishuang looks stunned, not to mention this fish, it is a green vegetable, obviously the leaves are green, and the color is not bad, how did it become an old leaf. And if the fifth lady's teeth are not good and she can't bite it, I'm afraid no one in the house will dare to say that her teeth are good.

"It is also said that it is the best cook in the house to cook the dishes, hehe, Miss Mercy, you won't be deceived, the old lady dares to say, the dishes I cook are better than these." Granny Zhou put down her chopsticks, looked disgusted, and said that this meal could only be thrown out to feed the dogs, not for people.

"Granny Zhou, you are so bold, you ate the meal that Hou Ye sent to the fifth lady, and you slandered Hou Ye so much!" Lian Shuang was so angry that her body trembled, her face was flushed, she was the person next to Murong He, who disrespected her a little in the mansion, how could she have been ridiculed like this.

"Master Hou loves our fifth miss the most, how can he take such rotten vegetables and rotten rice to the expensive fifth miss to eat." Granny Zhou was not to be outdone, and she raised her voice and cried like a shrew, "Oh, my hard-working fifth miss, now even a dinner has been eaten by some people, ah, God, why don't you have long eyes." ”

After the next person eats, Lian Shuang is so angry that she wants to run away, "You...... You don't want to frame me, it's clear that you just ......"

"What did the old lady just do?" Granny Zhou refused to admit it, and pointed to a few maids outside, the implication is obvious, there are only two people here, she and Lianshuang, and there is no evidence for mercy alone, even if someone believes it, she has no problem.

Granny Zhou spat on Xingzi, wiped her mouth and said, "Miss Mercy, please go to the kitchen again, no one can starve my fifth miss when you are hungry, do you say yes." ”

"You!" Frost glared.

Before he could scold, Murong Qingran's cold voice in the inner room sounded, "Get out!" ”

The word 'roll' made Lianshuang's whole body tremble, and she said indignantly, "Since the fifth lady wants to cultivate, I'm afraid that she will have to eat coarse tea and light rice these days, and the slave will send it to you." ”

"Little, who do you think you are, when the old lady was rampant, you weren't born yet." Granny Zhou's temper came up, so she grabbed the placket of Lianshuang's clothes, "Don't you look good, how can Master Hou take a fancy to you, or the old lady will teach you a few tricks how to serve men, lest you be old and decrepit, and Lord Hou is tired of you, you will be nothing." ”

"You...... What nonsense. Mercy Frost was thin-skinned and said in a panic.

Although the Wang family doesn't care about these things about Murong He, Aunt Wei gritted her teeth with hatred for Lian Shuang, just because there is no evidence, she can't make trouble, if the matter is big, Lian Shuang herself is afraid in her heart, Aunt Fang and Aunt Wei are spicy, she can't stand it, especially Aunt Wei, so that even Murong He can't eat it.

"Miss Five, help." Lian Shuang struggled, "Fifth Miss, the slave maid still has to go back to pay to the Hou Ye." ”

"It's noisy, shut up!" Granny Zhou dragged Lianshuang and dragged her outside the house, pushed her, and shouted, "Get out!" ”
