Chapter 251: The Heart of Discord
After Yu Xiangxiang followed Xiao Xia back to the house, when she saw that there was no one outside the door, she leaned over and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, Xiao Xia, the second young grandmother didn't embarrass you, right? What have you been doing in the house for so long? ”
Xiao Xia shook her head and pointed out the window, meaning that she should not ask.
Yu Xiangxiang pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "You girl, you've only been in the house for a few days, won't you be the confidant of the second young grandmother?" I think that Liu Yan'er is good to you, aren't you afraid that she will know? ”
Xiao Xia's movements stopped for a while, and looked back at her, Yu Xiangxiang was still muttering: "Alas, no one can say anything about this high-ranking family, a lady and an aunt for a while, these women are full all day long and have nothing to do, they know how to dig out their hearts and minds, and I don't know who can get good when they fight, anyway, few of the maids under their hands can get good."
You have to be careful, don't become a substitute for the dead for some reason, don't find things when the time comes, but it won't be worth it to leave your life here!
Alas, you too, so is that the Rausch thing so heavy? I have to venture to this house......"
Xiao Xia muttered too much to her words, afraid of being heard, pulled her clothes, leaned over to the door, and happened to see Birou coming over with two little maids carrying trays.
Birou raised her eyes and saw Xiao Xia, she snorted coldly: "Thief eyebrows, I really don't know what our second young grandmother likes about her?" ”
Xiao Xia paused, silently closed the door and retreated, Yu Xiangxiang looked back at her: "What's wrong?" Who? ”
Before Xiao Xia could answer, the door creaked open, and Birou walked in with two little maids. Stretched his face and said, "What do you mean?" Seeing that I came and deliberately closed the door? You're just going to have trouble with me, aren't you? ”
Xiao Xia lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, not planning to argue with her, but Yu Xiangxiang couldn't look past it. Stood up and stopped Xiao Xia behind him: "Hey, what are you doing?" This is our house, do you like to come, and I didn't invite you to come, and you ran to our house to find trouble? ”
Birou was stunned for a moment, and glared at Yu Xiangxiang angrily, Yu Xiangxiang snorted lightly: "What are you staring at?" Beware of eyeballs falling out. Are you okay with anything, it's okay to get me out, we're going to rest! ”
"Don't go too far. This is the yard of my second young grandmother. ”
"Huh~~ Your second young grandmother, don't forget that it was your second young grandmother who asked us to live here."
"You ......"
Yu Xiangxiang looked at her coldly with her hands on her chest, with a disdainful expression, Birou endured it and endured it angrily. Sideways said, "Put things down." Let's go out! ”
"Stop, what's this?"
Birou glanced at Yu Xiangxiang and said to Xiao Xia: "This is the second young grandmother's reward for you, let you do things well, and you will have benefits in the future." ”
After Birou finished speaking, she left, and the two little maids put two large trays of things on Xiao Xia's table.
Yu Xiangxiang grimaced at Birou's back and scolded in a low voice: "What's the big deal about dogs fighting people?" Hum! ”
Xiao Xia looked at the pile of delicate boxes in the tray. I took one and opened it, and inside was a pile of silver bracelets of fine color. Yu Xiangxiang came over to take a look, and praised it:
"This second young grandmother is really generous, your little maid's reward is so heavy, isn't this kind of flower a loser? Couldn't her family open a money bank? ”
Xiao Xia glanced at her, and as soon as she mentioned the money bank, Xiao Xia remembered Liang Chenjing, his family opened a money bank, and there was indeed too much silver to spend, but what was the use of more silver? Aren't the days the same?
Thinking of this, Xiao Xia smiled dumbly, Yu Xiangxiang leaned over and blinked her eyes: "Stinky girl, why are you so happy?" ”
Xiao Xia regained his senses and muttered in his heart what he wanted him to do, he should be a big celebrity next to the emperor now, right? It's really what Su Linglong expected, now that Su Linglong is happy, he will definitely do everything possible to please him, their relationship should be very good, right?
Alas~~ Xiao Xia sighed secretly and covered the box and put it back.
Yu Xiangxiang looked through the other boxes, there were mostly gold and silver jewelry inside, as well as two silver ingots, these things are indeed too valuable for a little girl, and they may be worth dozens of taels together, right?
If it is strange if an ordinary little girl is unhappy to jump up when she gets this reward, Xiao Xia is naturally not interested, Yu Xiangxiang has also seen the world, and praised:
"It's really rich, hey, Xiao Xia, she asked you to do things for her, and gave you so many rewards, she was afraid that Liu Yan'er wouldn't know? Liu Yan'er can still trust you when she knows it, and take you with her with peace of mind? What do you pay attention to this second young grandmother? ”
Xiao Xia paused, Yu Xiangxiang didn't say that she hadn't thought of this yet, yes, Zhuang Silian rewarded herself like this, isn't she afraid of Liu Yan'er, do you know? She knew that Liu Yan'er knew that she was going to do this, did she want to provoke her relationship with Liu Yan'er, heh! This woman really has a deep meaning in what she does!
What if these gold and silver things are useless to oneself and cannot be taken out by oneself?
Xiao Xia looked at Yu Xiangxiang and simply pushed all the things on the tray over.
Yu Xiangxiang was stunned: "What are you doing?" Give it to me? ”
Natsu nodded.
"Isn't it, there are so many things, dozens of taels, you don't want any of them?"
Natsu shook her head.
Yu Xiangxiang stared at her thoughtfully for a long time, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, are you afraid of being seen by Liu Yan'er, let me help you hide it?" Put it down, I'll ask someone to send it to my mother tomorrow, and ask her to keep it temporarily, when you want to go directly to pick it up. Hey, there are people who don't like the silver of white flowers......"
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, a mother-in-law came to inform the two to move to the nearby Pearl Courtyard, Liu Yan'er had come back this morning, and had already lived in the Pearl Courtyard, just waiting for the two to go over to serve.
They packed up their bags and followed their mother-in-law to the so-called Pearl Courtyard, and found that the courtyard was diagonally opposite Zhuang Silian's courtyard, separated by a row of willow trees, and the courtyard could be seen from a distance through the gap in the forest.
When the two entered the door, they saw that the courtyard was quite lively, and the brand-new Liu Yan'er was more beautiful than Huajiao, standing on the steps of the upper room and directing the maids and women to do this and that.
Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang stepped forward to greet them, and Liu Yan'er smiled and said, "Coming?" Just right. Xiang'er, help me watch them, and let them leave quickly after cleaning the yard. Qiu'er, you come in with me. ”
Liu Yan'er walked in front with a twist, and took Xiao Xia around the screen and into the inner room, full of bright red made Xiao Xia a little stunned: the thick red carpet on the ground, the red silk flowers on the eaves of the bed, the pink gauze tent, and the brand-new quilt were all so strange, just like entering a new house.
Liu Yan'er paced around, turned around and asked Xiao Xia, "What do you think?" ”
Xiao Xia nodded.
"You think it's good, too?"
Natsu nodded again.
"Huh. These are all prepared for me by Taymin. ”
She slowly walked to the dresser and stopped, and sighed softly: "It's just some superficial work, what's the use of being happy?" ”
Natsu blinked. She doesn't seem to be very happy?
Liu Yan'er turned around and beckoned to her, and Xiao Xia walked up to her.
"How was last night? Did that thing come back to you? ”
Xiao Xia's face changed, and she shook her head slightly.
"Really?"
Liu Yan'er's tone was a little weird, as if it was a pity? So what did she do last night?
Liu Yan'er turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. Or is looking at Xiao Xia: "Yesterday, Taiming took me to the peach forest in the east of the city." I was going to come back in the afternoon, but he said to take me to the river to take a boat, and we walked all the way down dozens of miles, so we couldn't come back, and I was worried that you would be harassed by that thing again, but fortunately you didn't stay there! ”
Is Liu Yan'er explaining this to me? Actually, it's not necessary, Xiao Xia is silent.
Liu Yan'er turned around and asked, "I heard that the second young grandmother rewarded you with a lot of things last night?" ”
Xiao Xia was stunned, she knew so quickly. What do you mean by asking me that?
Xiao Xia looked at her eyes, and she also stared at Xiao Xia's eyes: "You...... Didn't tell her anything, did you? ”
Xiao Xia pursed her lips and was silent. If she doesn't nod or shake her head, it's useless to say anything at this time, the key is what she thinks.
The two sides were deadlocked for a while, Liu Yan'er pursed her lips and smiled, stood up and patted Xiao Xia on the shoulder:
"Don't you mind, I'll just ask casually, no matter how much the second young grandmother rewards, how can it compare to our affection for sharing weal and woe together? Do you say, Qiu'er? ”
Affection? Xiao Xia smiled and nodded, compared to Zhuang Silian, she is indeed affectionate with Liu Yan'er, anyway, I didn't betray her.
Liu Yan'er was relieved and poked Xiao Xia's forehead:
"You little mute, you can't speak, but your mind is still clear, I didn't misread you.
By the way, Tai Ming took me out for a day yesterday, and was severely reprimanded by Hou Ye and Mrs. this morning, presumably it will be clean for a few days, and I want to find a way to find out about Hou Ye's movements in the past few days, you are ready to prepare, and when you have the opportunity, you will go to the big study to do what I told you last time, you know? ”
Xiao Xia hesitated a little before nodding, and Liu Yan'er thought for a while: "How about that new Xiang'er girl?" Isn't it a lady's person? ”
Xiao Xia immediately shook her head, and Liu Yan'er's eyes flashed: "Whether it's or not, you can't believe it too much, you be careful, pay more attention to her movements, and tell me as soon as there is any change, and also, remember to restrain her with the incense before the next action, don't let her find out about our affairs, come, the incense is for you, keep it!" ”
Liu Yan'er put the small jade bottle in Xiao Xia's hand, and gave it to the white bottle: "This is the antidote to the incense, there is only one in it, save it, come to me when you run out, you know?" ”
Xiao Xia looked at the jade bottle, and the first feeling in her mind was that she was really guarding against me, otherwise why would she only give me an antidote?
"Alright, it's okay, let's get out!" Liu Yan'er patted Xiao Xia on the shoulder and walked outside first.
Outside, Yu Xiangxiang commanded the maids and mothers-in-law to work in a good manner, and she didn't pay attention to Liu Yan'er when she came out.
Liu Yan'er stood behind her and observed for a long time, and a suspicious look flashed in her eyes.
It is equivalent to Xiangxiang sending away a group of maids, Liu Yan'er slapped her face and walked out: "Yes, Xiang'er, it is worthy of being from Mrs.'s side, she is really capable, she is organized and clean, I like it!" ”
Yu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, bowed her head and saluted: "The girl has won the prize, and the slave is just a matter of duty." ”
"Well, knowing how to advance and retreat, Tai Ming really has a vision, pick one for me to be so capable, I have to thank him!"
"The slave and the maid thank the girl for her praise, and the slave and the maid will definitely do their best in the future."
"That's good, there are only three of us in this courtyard, and I sent away even the porter.
I like to be quiet, I usually don't like to be disturbed, you remember, I didn't tell you not to come into my room casually, and also, the courtyard door is usually bolted, someone comes to report, you know? ”
Liu Yan'er had a master's tone, Xiao Xia was a little surprised, this was the first time to hear her talk like this, and she was a little uncomfortable, Yu Xiangxiang was blessed, and Xiao Xia also responded.
"Okay, you guys go down, choose the house in the courtyard by yourself, and live in whichever room you like!"
Xiao Xia pushed out of the room, Liu Yan'er closed the door, the courtyard was quiet, Yu Xiangxiang came over and asked in a low voice, "What did you say inside?" Going for so long? ”
Xiao Xia shook her head and pointed to the surrounding room, asking her to pick first.
Yu Xiangxiang looked around and pointed to the room near the courtyard gate: "I'm living over there, it's convenient to get in and out and open the door, are you?" Do you want to live with me? ”
Xiao Xia hesitated slightly, but forgot it, Liu Yan'er looked at it, and couldn't get too close to Yu Xiangxiang, so as not to arouse suspicion, so she picked the one next door to Liu Yan'er.
They each went back to the room to clean up, and in the evening, Yu Xiangxiang came to ask Xiao Xia to go to the kitchen to get dinner together, at this time, the door of the upper room was closed, and there was no sound quietly inside, and I don't know if Liu Yan'er was still in the house?
It was scary to stay alone in this quiet courtyard, and Xiao Xia decided to go out with Yu Xiangxiang.
When she was farther away from the courtyard, Yu Xiangxiang asked in a low voice: "Hey, Qiu'er, didn't you have a good relationship with that Liu Yan'er before?" Why did she come back like a different person? I'm locked up in the house alone for half a day and doesn't go out today, what is she doing? ”
Xiao Xia thought about it and shook her head, who knows, since she can work lightly, most of the time she will not be locked in the house alone, maybe she will go out to find something a long time ago.
By the way, I have been with Liu Yan'er for half a month, and I haven't seen her almost every afternoon, and occasionally in the morning, and she only comes back at night, but I'm not sure if she goes out after she falls asleep?
Thinking about it like this, Xiao Xia felt that Liu Yan'er was too mysterious.
"Hey, have you heard? There is always a person walking around under the outer wall of our house these days, and I don't know what to do? ”
"I heard, it is said that the young man, that person is dignified, extraordinary, at first glance is not an ordinary person, yesterday afternoon the patrol of the family met the man and interrogated him a few words, he didn't say a word to walk away, so that the two of them also chased up to stop the people, the man didn't know how to make a move, the two of them flew out of the old distance, and the little life was almost gone!"
"Yes, yes, I know those two guys, they usually bully us last maids in the house, hmph, this time they kicked the iron plate, they deserve it!"
"Hey, it's not a good time to go around this afternoon, let's find a way out and see if we can meet that young man, how about it?" (To be continued.) )
