Chapter VII Coping

Zheng looked at her with a sincere look, but his heart was panicked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Having said that, she loves her juniors and treats her master's children leniently, all of which mean that she is a kind and generous good mother.

And those mothers-in-law and servants have ruined her reputation, and the most important thing is to violate the taboo of the master, the reputation of the prime minister's house is greater than the sky, and she has the heart to intercede for them.

It's just that...... The Seven Girls couldn't say so much in the past.

Moreover, although these words are all about maintaining her reputation, in essence, she wants to deal with those servants and maids who are waiting for her, and she coincidentally has a good image of filial piety in the heart of the master.

Zheng thought that a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, others couldn't see it, but these little tricks couldn't escape her eyes.

At this time, Su De had already instructed the servants waiting outside the door to clean up the food boxes and leftovers on the mahogany table, and sent someone to call the pottery steward in the house.

Steward Tao hurriedly walked in from outside the room, and although he lowered his head, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Miss Seven, who was eating at the same table with the master, the lady, and the third lady.

A handful of bones suddenly froze, but the feet did not stop, and he bowed and walked to the side of the eldest master to stand still.

Sud waved his hand and beckoned the servant woman outside the door to bring the food box in. The servant woman walked up to the pottery steward with the food box, lifted the lid of the box, and then quickly closed it.

Steward Tao has been able to sit firmly in the Su Mansion for so many years, and he has long been a good person, and he only took a slight look to understand the twists and turns of the matter.

The servant woman retreated with the food box, Su De glanced at the Tao steward, and said: "Tao steward, those servant women and maids who don't understand the rules, you can send someone to the Zhuangzi in the countryside, if anyone does not listen to the teaching, they will be sold to the remote Shu land." ā€

There are many poor mountains and bad waters, and Shu is not only treacherous, but also fierce and rude, if you throw people there, those mothers-in-law and maids may not want to live.

The Tao steward was busy answering yes.

It's just that he is also very strange in his heart, why Miss Seven, who has always been out of the door, suddenly became favored, and the master even served those mean people to her for her.

You must know that in the past, Miss Seven lived in the remote northwest wing, but the master never asked.

Although she is the daughter of the master, the master seems to be particularly disinterested in her.

It is also common for those subordinates in the mansion to bully Miss Seven, but it is the first time that the master has stood up for her.

Although Steward Tao was very puzzled, he hurriedly retreated after accepting the errand, and he didn't have time to take another look at Miss Seven who was sitting at the mahogany table.

This meal seems to be quite enjoyable on the surface.

Su Xin was busy earning performance in front of Su De, and also gave Su Ximei a few chopsticks and dishes.

Of course Su Ximei knew that she was unhappy, Su Xin was sweet on the outside and looked very delicate, but in her bones she was full of arrogance that rejected people thousands of miles away.

Although Zheng's words were gentle, the corners of her eyes were cold.

But these are not nothing, but Su De's reaction made Su Ximei's heart a little uncomfortable.

Probably because her appearance was too shabby, Su De's eyes could not hide a trace of disgust. He probably tried his best to restrain himself, but she still saw it.

It is said that tiger poison does not eat children. The eldest sister was isolated in the Lingwang Mansion, as a father, he was indifferent, compared to the disgust of Miss Seven, she had to be glad that it was just disgust, not abandoned by the family like the eldest sister.

It's just that he really believes that his eldest daughter will do something that insults the lintel of the Su family?

――――――――――――

Before leaving, Zheng smiled.

"The seven girls are very good, they didn't talk much before, but now they are sharp and sharp, like an adult." She bent her eyebrows and looked at Su Ximei and said.

Su Ximei also smiled.

"I probably died once, I saw through many things, I didn't stop talking in the past, I just didn't like to speak, but I knew everything in my heart, and I remember my mother's kindness to me." She replied respectfully, unable to find the slightest mistake, as if she was really grateful for Zheng's years of care.

Whether the seven girls are dead or not, the Zheng family doesn't know. Only when the doctor said that the seven girls would not live for two days, she arranged the funeral.

As a result, less than a day, a maid came to report that the seven girls were lying on the bed and did not move. She hadn't seen it either, and just listened to the girl's description and concluded that the seventh girl was out of breath.

But as soon as the seven girls were sent to Yizhuang, she came back to life.

Zheng doesn't believe that there is really any return to the light and the soul of the yang, but the seven girls are not dead at all.

Maybe she was frightened, as the saying goes, things must be the opposite, I think it was too frightened, but it scared her stupid temperament.

"It's rare for you to be filial." Zheng smiled and said, "Now that you have figured it out, you have to come here often to accompany your father and mother." ā€

This is the middle courtyard, and the Zheng family really regards themselves as the head of the prime minister's house.

Su Ximei nodded obediently, and then left.

They are a warm and sweet family, she is just an outsider, and it is in the way of their eyes to be in the middle courtyard.

When I walked out of the brightly lit house, it was already pitch black outside, and although there were claw lamps shining on the road, it was impossible to see far away.

Su Ximei squinted her eyes before she got used to the dim night.

A servant woman carried a lantern in front of her and drove her all the way back to the courtyard of the northwest wing.

The courtyard is already lit up, and it is much cleaner than in broad daylight. The weeds in the corners of the courtyard have been removed, and the old door frames have been painted.

I have to say that the Tao steward is very efficient and very discerning.

Five or six maids were already waiting in front of the door, and when they saw her, some of them put the cotton wool cloak in their hands on her shoulders.

Su Ximei glanced at her with a smile, but the maid shrank her neck back tremblingly, as if she was afraid of her.

The servant woman who sent her back to the courtyard was blessed, Su Ximei calmly returned the salute and thanked her, and the servant woman left with the lantern.

When she returned to the house, a woman came to her with a hot handkerchief and asked her to clean her hands, and when she sat on the stool, a maid came with hot tea.

Su Ximei took a sip of tea and felt that this tea was fragrant.

Then she asked the maids one by one the surnames and where they used to be on an errand. It seemed that she just asked casually, and then let them retreat, only the personal maid Ling Xiang was waiting by her side.

At this time, a mother-in-law knocked lightly on the door frame.

"Miss Seven, Steward Tao is here." She said.

That's Chen's mother, who looks humble and dutiful. Su Ximei nodded, and Mother Chen replied to the outside, and Steward Tao walked in.

Su Ximei got up and smiled.

"Steward Tao." She said, "It's really hard for you to take care of my broken yard at such a late hour." ā€

Steward Tao walked in with a smile, stunned by her words, but immediately hid the complicated look in his eyes.

"Miss Seven is the heart of the eldest master, these are our duties as subordinates." He said with a non-shocked expression.

Su Ximei beckoned Ling Xiang, the maid beside her, to offer tea.

"These teas are personally selected and sent by the Tao steward, but the taste is sweet and fragrant, without any impurities, and it is even more wonderful in the word 'pure'." She smiled and nodded, "This tea is very much to my liking, I think it is because the Tao steward has put a lot of thought into it." ā€

Steward Tao could hear what she meant. This tea is not the other "tea", it refers to those who are arranged to wait in this courtyard.

Steward Tao knows all the things between the ladies in the house.

Who is favored? Who is in power? Who made it bad?

His belly is all translucent, but he has never been out of sight, and he knows in his heart that it is a matter of a while, but he can't offend people who don't want to offend because of these things.

At present, the eldest master intends to stand up for Miss Seven, so he, the person in charge, has to do something.

Those maids and wives had just come up from Zhuangzi in the countryside two days ago, and they were all unequal people in the miscellaneous courtyard in the northwest wing, and although they had heard of some things in the house, they didn't dare to really be unruly to the young lady in the house.

And this young lady naturally refers to Miss Su Qi of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

What's more, something like that happened tonight made them even more worried about Miss Seven.

Steward Tao didn't want to be offended, so he arranged for these maids to go to Miss Seven's courtyard tonight, and by tomorrow, everything would be settled, and those who wanted to put eyeliner in Miss Seven's courtyard would not look for him again, and as for what happened in the future, it was not something he could control.

Steward Tao smiled humbly.

"As long as Miss Seven likes it." He bowed down and said, "The mother-in-law who watched the corner gate has a niece who is still in the village village, and I will send someone to fetch her tomorrow." ā€

Su Ximei brought a smile on her lips.

"Steward Tao is thoughtful, and he can give me peace of mind." She said, "I've written it down, don't worry." ā€

With such an arrangement, Steward Tao can be regarded as doing his best, if her yard is really good in the future, it will not be his fault.

He didn't want to wade into the muddy waters of the back house, he only felt at ease to do his duty well, and she wouldn't force him.

She wrote down this favor, and Steward Tao also understood it.

After saying a few inconsequential words, Steward Tao didn't take a sip of tea in the end, and left in a hurry.

Is that really Miss Seven?

In his opinion, it was more difficult to deal with her than with Mrs., especially her clear eyes, which seemed to be able to pierce people at once, and the smile on her face, which was obviously smiling, but it made people feel a kind of sharp feeling.

Could it be that he really died once, and his temperament has changed greatly?
