Chapter 28: Zhuangzi

Xie An also ended up going to Zhuangzi.

On that day, after the second master Xie went to the office, Mrs. Xie immediately sent Huahong to invite someone, and locked her in the room for almost half an hour, and finally decided to use the eighth sister to marry the seventh sister. After all, it is what Mrs. Meng meant, and the Meng family is at a loss first, forgive him, Master Meng will never be obsessed with this. However, it is always inconvenient for Xie An to be at Xie's house, so Mrs. Xie sent Rong's mother to arrange it that night, and on the second day, people were ready to stop early, and Xie Yi'an set off before noon.

Along the way, in the car, the two girls of Aimo and Aiyan were indispensable to complain, but Xie Yi'an didn't care at all. After two carriage rides, her motion sickness was much better, so she should eat, drink, and take a nap in the carriage.

In the evening, the carriage stopped. Wang's mother rushed to Zhuangzi overnight yesterday, and this morning she has made all arrangements, taking Bailian and Hongju outside Zhuangzi. Seeing that Xie An was also coming, he hurriedly arranged for the maid to carry her luggage in.

Xie An also entered Zhuangzi with the support of Aimo Aiyan. Unlike the old house in Weicheng, which is a five-entry compound, Zhuangzi only has three entrances. Xie An also followed Wang's mother through the weeping flower gate to the inner courtyard, and couldn't help but feel that "the courtyard is a little deeper". As she told Aimo, coming to Zhuangzi is a lot less restrictive, but if she comes up with Zhuangzi, she knows in her heart that it will be even more difficult.

Xu is subordinates had already been instructed not to rush into the girl, and they had already hid far away, and Xie An didn't see anyone along the way. After entering the backyard, Wang's mother led them around the main room again, pointed to the back room in front and said, "Girl, the front is it." The old lady specially instructed to find a quiet place to recuperate for the girl. It's a little farther away, but it's better to be pure. ”

Aimo was so angry that her teeth were itching, how could this back cover room be the residence of her daughter? I was bullied like this when I first arrived in Zhuangzi, what can I do in the future?!

She was about to say something for the girl, but Xie An just said "um", didn't say anything, and walked in.

The back cover room is also sitting in the north and facing south, with good lighting, but it is much smaller than the Qingfeng Garden where she lived before, with several fewer rooms. This is really an insult to the daughter of an ancient family, but Xie An is also a modern person, and he has lived in Shanghai, where every inch of land is expensive, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. And she can't live in a few rooms with Aimo Aiyan, as long as the house is clean, she can accept it.

Ai Yan has been serving by Xie Anyi's side, and seeing that she didn't say that she was dissatisfied, she gave Aimo a look, and Aimo could only give up.

"Girl, the old lady still has something to tell the old slave to do, and the old slave has to stay in Weicheng these days. Aimo Aiyan is still by the girl's side, if the girl has instructions, let Bailian Hongju do it, these two girls do a lot of rough work, their legs and feet are fast, and they are also smart, so they stay in the girl's yard. The old lady was afraid that the girl in Zhuangzi's big kitchen would not be used to eating, so she made an exception to open a small kitchen for the girl, and every three days after that, a rough mother-in-law would come to deliver food. Whatever the girl wants to eat, she can also let Hongju tell Mrs. Liu to do it. This Liu Pozi's craftsmanship is the best among several Zhuangzi, although he is mute, but his ears can hear. ……”

Wang's mother instructed her, and then left the white lotus and red chrysanthemum to go out.

Everyone is properly settled, so let's not show it for the time being.

……

Xie An has also spent three days in Zhuangzi, except that she can't go out, she is still very satisfied. You don't have to get up early every day, you don't have to say hello, you eat and sleep, you sleep and eat, you pick a book to read when you're bored, and you take care of Aimo Aiyan, it's really cool and crooked. It's just that the courtyard gate was watched by a mother-in-law who didn't know him, except for Bailian Hongju, no one was allowed to enter or leave, no different from being imprisoned, but fortunately, Xie An was also relatively homely, and he didn't bother too much about this matter.

On this day, Xie An was also reading the notebook, and Ai Yan was waiting on the side. Xie An has been observing her for a few days, and she has been restless recently, as if she has something on her mind. No, Xie An also asked her to pour a cup of tea, and she almost knocked over the teacup, which was not something she could have done in the past.

Xie An also put down the book, called Ai Yan to his side, and said, "But what's the matter?" Go ahead. ”

Ai Yan was silent for a while, and said softly: "The day before yesterday was the first day of the new year, but the girl's monthly silver did not arrive. We don't have a lot of money in our hands, if we don't make money, this ......"

Xie An also understood what she meant, she is now locked up in Zhuangzi, and after a long time, everyone will slowly forget that there is such a person as Seventh Sister, even if she dies in Zhuangzi, no one knows. If you have money in your hand, it's easy to do it, and if you give more rewards, people won't be embarrassed, after all, no one will get along with silver. But if you can't even get the money......

"I know, you go and ask Aimo to inquire about the situation of this Zhuangzi, she can't get out, so let her have a good relationship with Bailian Hongju, and then give some benefits to the mother-in-law who cares about it. If you have news, come back and forth. ”

Aimo hurriedly nodded and agreed, and went out to find Aiyan. After a while, he walked in again and whispered in Xie Anyi's ear, "Bai Lian just handed me a note." ”

With that, gently place the note on the table.

The note was crumpled, Xie An also gently unfolded it, looked at it, and immediately frowned and put the note to the candle and burned it.

That night, Xie An also said that the food was not in accordance with the taste, and the courtyard where she lived was brightly lit all night, and the people were punished to kneel on the ground. The people in the outer courtyard have heard of the arrogance of these seven sisters, and they have long been surprised.

Early the next morning, when Aimo gave Xie Anyi food, he accidentally dropped the food on the ground, and was punished to kneel in Xie Anyi's room, not to eat, and not to let it out until the evening.

Aimo staggered when he walked out of the house, and almost bumped into the rough maid-in-law who had just come out of the clean room to look at the yard. The rough mother-in-law couldn't help but ask a few words, and the two chatted for a while, and they hated to see each other late.

……

It was late at night, and the Zhuangzi in the countryside was quiet, it was almost winter, and there was not even a sound of insects.

"You are really pitiful, you have no father and mother at a young age, and with such a master, your life is not easy." The rough mother-in-law and the mother-in-law said with a big tongue.

"Then what's the way, let's be subordinates, isn't it what the master says. Mother Tong, you are old, I heard that there used to be little maids in Zhuangzi to serve, why did you end up with someone to watch the door. Aimo hurriedly poured another glass of wine for Tong's mother.

This boy is also a little famous in Zhuangzi, and she used to be a housekeeper, and she did a few things for her master, and the master was very satisfied, and she was specially equipped with a little maid. But this person has a bad habit, he is addicted to alcohol, and once he almost delayed a major event because he was drunk, and he was punished by the master and made a rough mother-in-law. This time, she asked her to watch the door, although it was easier than sweeping and laundry, but she still couldn't look at it, her eyes were low, and she wanted to do big things.

Aimo took advantage of the fact that there was no one at night, so he took her to the side of the ear room to drink, and after two glasses, many things were said like pouring beans.
