Chapter 15: The Steproom (1)
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Meng couldn't help frowning, and after a long silence, she asked, "I heard that officials have been fined and raided their homes, and slaves and maids will be confiscated." How can you make www.biquge.info exception? Does Lord Zhou still have a family? Qingyu said: "Lord Zhou was just demoted to a commoner, not imprisoned. Because the family wealth was scattered, the lady took the young lady back to her hometown to join her parents' relatives. Lord Zhou returned to his hometown without shame, so he fell into the streets. I couldn't bear to abandon my master, so I stayed with him all the time. Mrs. Meng's face slowed down at this time, she glanced at the little girl in front of her with beautiful eyebrows, and said, "Your name is Qingyu?" I think I heard you call yourself Abi before? Qingyu's face was slightly embarrassed, and she whispered: "My lord gave me the nickname Abi." The old lady nodded and said, "Okay, I see." It's not early today, so you can go down and rest first! Let Mother He arrange the accommodation for you. Let me think about arranging things for you tomorrow! Qingyu nodded obediently and went down with Mother He.
As it was getting late, Mother Ho instructed Cuihuan to make room for the new girl Ah Bi to live with her. Cuihuan saw that there was another person in the small side compartment that originally belonged to him, and he couldn't help but pout. However, after seeing He's mother's warning eyes, she didn't dare to say anything more. I don't know what it was for thought, Mother He didn't call Qingyu's name, but called her Abi. Qingyu didn't think so, whatever Mother He called her, she would respond. Seeing that Cuihuan gave her a place, she smiled back, not caring about the reluctant expression on Cuihuan's face. Her unexpectedly precocious and sophisticated nature was valued by Mother He, and it also made her faintly wary.
The next day, when An Niang woke up from the house, she suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance on the tip of her nose. Slowly opened his eyes, and saw an unfamiliar face in front of him: "Miss is awake?" Slave and maid, this is the change of clothes for you! "Light green skirts, pale pink trousers, socks, shoes, all ready. An Niang had some doubts in her heart, looking at this unfamiliar face, she heard the person opposite smile and said, "Miss doesn't know the slave anymore?" Slave Qingyu, everyone calls me Abi, it is the person you saved yesterday! An Niang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turned out to be you?" Sister, have you already done everything in your family? Qingyu smiled: "Thank you, Miss, I have already gone back to do it yesterday." Now the old lady ordered me to be on an errand in the lady's room. If there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me! An Niang nodded and said, "You did a good job." She was about to get dressed, and she couldn't help but be even happier when she found that the clothes were all tentacles and lukewarm. asked, "Sister got up early in the morning?" Qingyu said: "I set a time when I get up every day." I'm used to it. Miss has something to do, just tell the slave! An Niang just wanted to say something, but saw Cuihuan walking in from outside with an unhappy face. Miss, are you already up? Let the slaves and maids come and wash you! As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the toiletries and warm water that had been placed in front of An Niang. glanced at Qingyu and said, "My sister is ready early in the morning?" I'm here, and my sister should go to the yard to see what else she has to do. Qingyu didn't say anything to her, but smiled at her, saluted An Niang, and whispered: "Slave and maid retire!" And he went out gently. Looking at the back of Qingyu leaving, Cuihuan's face was slightly red, and said, "Miss, the slave didn't deliberately get up late. This is the hour when you get up every day, and the slave and maid come at this hour. An Niang smiled and said, "Sister Cuihuan, it's okay." I've never blamed you! You've always done a great job, how could I blame you? "Cuihuan does come over every day when she wakes up, but she starts to be busy after she comes, and relatively speaking, the preparation is not as adequate as Qingyu's. It's just that Cuihuan has been following her for so long after all, and it's not a big deal, so she didn't take it to heart. Qingyu is new to the city, and it is normal to be able to behave like this.
And Mother He got up early in the morning, but was taken aback by this little girl who had just arrived. I saw that the courtyard had been cleaned. The pots of flowers that the old lady had raised had already been watered. And a thin figure was carrying the wooden bucket that Meng Yingqi's little maid Ruier usually fetched water, and struggling to fill the big vat next to the garden. But who else is not Qingyu? Seeing her tired sweat, Mother He hurriedly stopped her: "Little girl, didn't you only ask you to be an errand in the young lady's room?" What are you doing in the yard? Qingyu smiled slightly and said, "Miss, Sister Cuihuan has passed." Mom, do you need my help there? I've done all the sprinkling and sweeping in the yard! Mother He looked at her thin figure, remembered her poor life experience, and couldn't help sighing. It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and this child has experienced twists and turns, although he is younger than Cuihuan, he seems to be much more sensible than Cuihuan. Hurriedly shook his hand and said, "You're busy early in the morning, just rest for a while." It's enough for me to have one person in the kitchen. Qingyu shook her head and said, "I'm fine, so it's better to be a companion with my mother!" When Mother He saw her insistence, she went with her.
followed He's mother to the kitchen, and Qingyu was very skilled in helping her make a fire. Seeing that He's mother was busy, she started down below, and the meal was much faster than usual. Mother He also felt a lot more relaxed. couldn't help but be curious, and asked Qingyu: "Miss Abi, what errands did you do in the master's house before?" This is a common thing, why do I look so familiar to you? Qingyu smiled: "Don't hide it from my mother, when I was at the master's house, I was a person who couldn't do things." It's just that later, the master's family fell, and I learned everything in order to serve the master well. Mother He remembered her experience and couldn't help but feel even more sorry for her. He touched her head and sighed, "Good boy! In the future, here, you just have to take care of the young lady. The old lady and the young master are all kind-hearted people. Our people here are also very kind of people. You just need to ignore the He Da next to the ninth master. Qingyu nodded and said, "Thank you mom for your advice!" Qingyu can be taken care of by the old lady, and she is willing to do as many things as she wants. I beg you not to dislike me! Mother He said, "Who will dislike you?" Everyone is from a bitter background. Just do your own thing. Qingyu nodded as she helped Mother He prepare the dishes with her hands and feet.
