Chapter 8: Lessons

After the Tao steward left, Su Ximei's eyes flickered on the cotton wool cloak draped over her shoulders, and then she got up and walked to the wardrobe to take a look. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The old cabinet has been replaced with a half-new one, and although the style is simple, it does not look shabby.

Ling Xiang sent the Tao steward back to the house, and saw Miss Seven standing in front of the big cabinet next to the bed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It is the cabinet that the general ordered the manager to send, and the steward said that the young lady will use it for one night first, and he will send someone to send a new one tomorrow." ”

Her voice sounded a little frightened.

Su Ximei glanced back at her, but she was a smart girl. I guess it's a newcomer, and I guess I'm still worried about myself.

Ling Xiang hung her head, not daring to look up at her, Su Ximei smiled.

"I look at you very much, and you need not be afraid of me, as long as you are faithful to me, I will regard you as a sister." She said.

"Yes, miss." Ling Xiang raised her head timidly.

Su Ximei turned around and stretched out her hand to open the cabinet, as she expected, there was a thick stack of new clothes stacked in the cabinet, although it was not very gorgeous, but it was also different styles without repetition.

There are skirts, pleated skirts, light gauze skirts, and gowns, all of which can be worn in this season.

Ling Xiang saw that Miss Seven's temperament was extremely good, not like it was difficult to get along with, and Miss Seven also said that she would regard herself as a younger sister, so she had some confidence to speak.

"These are also prepared on the orders of the steward, and tomorrow I will ask the lady of the tailor's shop to come and make you a few new dresses that fit." She said, her voice crisp.

Su Ximei nodded, this Tao steward's ability is really not small.

"Miss Seven, Jade is here." Chen's mother walked in and reported to Su Ximei.

Jade?

How did she get here?

Su Ximei frowned, then sat back on the stool before letting Chen's mother go out and lead Cuiyu in.

Cuiyu is the maid who came over tonight's food box, she walked in behind Chen's mother, lowered her head, and her face no longer had the previous ridicule and dissatisfaction, it was really well-behaved, and she even walked extra carefully.

Cuiyu stood in front of Su Ximei with her head down, but Su Ximei didn't look at her, took the hot tea offered by Ling Xiang, and blew the tea foam floating on her face.

Jade knelt on the ground with a bang.

"Miss Seven, you can do well, help the slave maid." She hung her head and suddenly cried.

Her sudden move startled Su Ximei, and she almost threw out the teacup she was holding in her hand. Ling Xiang was clever, and hurriedly reached out and took the teacup.

Su Ximei glanced at Jade who was kneeling on the ground and weeping, her eyebrows bent, but she smiled.

"Jade, how do you want me to help you?" She said, "The rules of the house can't be broken, not to mention that my father has already spoken, I can't be the master, or you go and talk to the steward, he will definitely be able to talk about the affairs of the house." ”

Her smile was innocent and pure, as if she was genuinely giving ideas for Jade. But Jade wasn't stupid, and of course she understood that this was meant to mock herself.

In the evening, when she brought the food box to this courtyard, she said the same thing to sarcastically mock Miss Su Qi in front of her.

Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, the sky in the house changed. She was even going to lose her maid's life.

Jade secretly clenched her teeth, and her nails dug into the flesh of her palm. She tried her best to calm herself down and make a pitiful appearance.

"Miss Seven, tonight's incident is that the slave is wrong, and the slave should not talk like that." She wiped her tears and said, "As long as Miss Seven says a word, the eldest master will not drive the slave to Zhuangzi." ”

Ling Xiang and Chen's mother, who were waiting in the room, both trembled, and their concerns about Miss Seven had also heard about tonight's incident.

This matter is very big, and even those of them who have just come to the mansion have heard about it.

It's just that the food delivered from the kitchen is not to Miss Seven's heart, so those maids and servants related to this matter have to be sent to the village in the countryside.

Ling Xiang and Chen's mother both came from Zhuangzi, but they didn't think there was anything wrong.

But the maids and servants in the house are different, they are the best servants of the Su family, wearing brocade clothes and satin, and the food is also good, they are the people who look down on the village Zhuangzi the most.

In Zhuangzi, the servant women who come from the palace every year to inspect treat themselves as half masters.

Now to send the people of the house to Zhuangzi, those maids and servants who have suffered must be unwilling.

The monthly routine on Zhuangzi is not as good as being an errand in the capital mansion, and the living, eating, and using are also not much worse, and there will be rich rewards for serving with Mrs., aunts, and young ladies.

How could Jade be willing to go to the poor and remote places?

If you are forgotten in the countryside, you will have no chance to turn over in this life.

Su Ximei nodded as she listened to Cuiyu's words, as if she was seriously considering, but soon, she showed a look of embarrassment.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that it's really not easy to do." She said, "I asked you if you want me to eat more, you said that I am expensive, and I need to eat more if I want to take care of my body, but the food you sent me is really not to my liking, so I went to the middle courtyard, and my father's food is to my liking, and I have eaten several bowls with all my strength." ”

She has been a good person all her life, but she was murdered by the Zhang family, who she treats wholeheartedly and regards as a relative, in this life she has to speak for herself, and she wants to find a good future for herself.

She will not have mercy on those who try to harm her, but today she has given this girl a glimmer of life.

But this maid has to inch in, so she won't be polite to her.

Jade gritted her teeth fiercely, almost biting out blood, her bowed body trembled slightly, and her eyes were also red.

Su Ximei smiled.

"Father cherished me, looked at the food box I brought over, probably didn't like the food you sent, and asked the Tao steward to send you to Zhuangzi at that time." When she said this, there was some regret in her tone, "I didn't expect my father to lose his temper so much!" Father has always attached importance to the rules, if I go to say it, I am afraid that I will provoke my father even more and sell you to Shudi. ”

This is also clear, she will not intercede for anyone, if she is restless and self-controlled, she has a way to let the eldest master sell their wrongdoers to Shudi.

What's more, Cuiyu also listened to the Tao steward, this time to Zhuangzi must keep his duty, the old man's words have been exported, if someone does not listen to the teaching, it will be sold directly to Shu.

At that time, Steward Tao will not be able to keep them.

Cuiyu knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and no matter how low she spoke, she couldn't ask for a place in the mansion.

Thinking like this, she stood up and straightened her back, staring at Su Ximei in front of her with a pair of resentful eyes, Su Ximei's expression was calm, and she didn't seem to notice her hot gaze.

"You're not Miss Seven!" Jade suddenly spoke, and Fang Cai's fear and pity were gone.

Su Ximei heard this, and a shallow smile appeared on her lips. Ling Xiang, who had been waiting beside her, couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Jade!" She screamed angrily, "Miss Seven is the master, you are just a maid, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the master, don't you want to stay in Zhuangzi!" ”

Zhuangzi couldn't stay, so of course he went to Shudi.

Cuiyu is not very likable on weekdays, and when she sees them coming from Zhuangzi, she will laugh at them openly and secretly, and she has long looked at her unpleasantly.

Now I dare to say that Miss Seven is not Miss Seven, it's really a big sin! She deserves to be sent to Zhuangzi to suffer!

Cuiyu is worried that there is no place to attack, Su Ximei is the master, she can't afford to provoke her, but this damn stinky girl, she is not afraid.

Besides, she has nothing to be afraid of now, she has already offended Su Ximei when the food box comes over, and the worst plan is to be sold to Shudi, there is nothing worse than this.

Su Ximei will not let her go, and the Zhuangzi in the countryside is just an excuse to send her out.

As soon as the look in Cuiyu's eyes was cold, she pounced on Ling Xiang's bun to grab Ling Xiang's hair, Chen's mother's face changed, and before she could see what was going on, she saw that a teacup full of boiling tea had smashed towards Cuiyu's knees.
