Xiao Linden's face was already red, and she stumbled a little when she spoke: "No, grandma, the slave maid is slow on weekdays, and she always can't finish her work, so when it comes time to eat, everyone has eaten almost enough." The slave can only eat rice......"

Slow to work? Hands and feet are not in trouble? Qian Ning looked at the table that had been cleaned up on the table, and then looked at Xiao Linden, who was standing on the side, and knew in her heart, "Otherwise, I only have a maid with dew by my side, and she can't be separated from many things in the house, from today on, you will do things in the house, and don't worry about the things in the yard." When I look back, I will make my aunt clear and mention your name. ”

This news was no less than a pie falling from the sky for Xiao Linden, which knocked her unconscious, opened her mouth wide, and she couldn't react for a long time.

Dew couldn't help but smile, poked her arm, and reminded, "Thank you grandma yet." ”

Xiao Lin came back to his senses at this time, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you grandma, thank you grandma, the slave will definitely serve grandma with all her heart and soul in the future, and she will never give up if she is a cow or a horse." ”

"You're a good talker." Qian Ning chewed a smile at the corner of her mouth, and motioned for Lu Shui to help Xiao Linden up, "Listening to your conversation, it seems that you know how to write poetry, have you ever read a book?" ”

Xiao Lin stood up, her eyes flashing with joy: "The slave maid skimmed the book for two years before entering the mansion and knew some words. ”

"Oh..."Qian Ning raised her eyebrows, reading is not a trivial matter, especially for women, they can't go to the school yet, generally speaking, they have to invite a husband to teach at home, ordinary people can't afford to pay for it. Could it be that this little linden was born as an official eunuch and a criminal slave? "What did your father and mother do? How did you enter the Hou Mansion as a subordinate? ”

Xu Shi talked about Xiao Linden's sadness, and his little face, which was originally full of energy, drooped down suddenly: "The slave's father was originally a private school in his hometown, when the slave was five years old, there was a plague in his hometown, his father was sick and died, and his mother took the slave and maid to the capital, wanting to seek refuge in distant relatives, who knew that because they had not been in contact for a long time, the relatives had long been unknown where to relocate." And my mother was tired on the way, and I was sad about my father's death, and it didn't take long for me to be gone. The slave and maid really had no choice but to sell themselves to the house to be subordinates. ”

It turns out that this girl is also a poor person with no father and no mother. Qian Ning remembered that her mother died early, and her father didn't like her sisters, if it weren't for her sister's best planning, maybe her fate would be like this girl, drifting with the flow, and she couldn't help herself.

The thoughts of sympathy for the same disease crawled all over her heart, and Qian Ning looked at Xiao Linden's eyes with a little sympathy: "Even if you enter the Hou Mansion, it can be regarded as a great luck." Do things well in the future, and life will get better and better. ”

Xiao Lin received the encouragement of his master, and sparks rekindled in his dim eyes: "The slave will definitely serve grandma with all her might." ”

"Well, when you're done, you can go down first." Qian Ning tossed for such a noon, tiredness hit, and Dew hurriedly waited for Qian Ning to change clothes and wash, and then went to bed to rest.

Cui Shi had just finished eating, and was leaning on the couch squinting and napping.

Xue Juan walked in lightly, and saw from a distance that Cui Shi seemed to be sleeping soundly, and turned around to go out.

"What's the matter with this coming?" Cui's voice rang out.

Xue Juan's steps that she was about to take out were retracted, and she blessed Cui Shi: "The slave should be damned, disturbing the rest of the lady." ”

Cui Shi opened his eyes, helped the armrest of the bed and sat up: "I don't blame you, I didn't fall asleep in the first place, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

"It's listening to Yuxuan's great-mother-in-law coming. He said he was coming to greet his wife. ”

"Come here at this time to say goodbye? Isn't there something wrong with the Lu family? Let her in. Choi sat up and took a haircut and collar.

Grand-in-law was soon ushered in, and as soon as she saw Cui's, she knelt on the ground and cried and asked Cui's to make the decision.

"What is it that deserves your crying and crying like this? Anyway, you're also an old man in the house, what do you look like crying like this! Cui Shi looked at Zeng's mother-in-law's appearance and was a little displeased.

Mrs. Zeng heard Cui's disgust, and remembered what Xue Juan said about Cui's lunch break before, and secretly said in her heart, didn't she disturb Cui's and touch the mold? I only blamed myself for only caring about reporting letters and inviting merit, and I forgot Cui's habit of taking a lunch break.

Mrs. Zeng scolded herself, put away her crying, squeezed out a smile, and said: "The old slave should be damned, he was angry with the young grandmother, why did he spread his anger on the lady, and disturbed the lady's lunch break, the old slave is really damned!" After speaking, he kowtowed a few times.

"Okay", Cui's lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Zeng's mother-in-law, closed his eyes again, Xue Juan immediately walked to the back and gently pressed Cui's temples, Cui's snorted comfortably, and then there was no movement again.

Mrs. Zeng was still kowtowing to herself, only to feel that her forehead hurt, and she didn't hear Cui's words, so she couldn't help muttering in her heart, could it be that Mrs. was asleep again? It seems that I came at a bad time.

Mrs. Zeng was about to sigh, and Cui's voice sounded above her head: "Okay, get up." After a while, I broke my head, and I thought that my master was not considerate of his subordinates. ”

Zeng's mother-in-law received amnesty and stood up with her waist hunched: "It was the old slave who did something wrong, and the lady should be punished." Mrs. Su Rili is kind-hearted, and no one knows who knows. Even if the old slave really broke his head, then the people below would only think that the old slave had done something wrong and should be punished, where would they misunderstand Madame? ”

Thousands of clothes are not worn. Cui Shi listened to this compliment, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly: "Say, what grievances are you listening to Yuxuan?" ”

Grand-in-law then considered the sentence, added oil and vinegar to what happened at noon, picked and chose to say, and finally glanced at Cui's expression, only to see that she was not shocked, and could not see the joy and anger, and was not sure whether the complaint was wrong, so she had to add a few words: "It's not that the old slave is wronged, but I just think that the young grandmother is just here, and then how to establish rules, establish prestige, and estimate the face of the old servants in the house, isn't there a saying, you still need to see the master to beat the dog, even if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to see the Buddha's face......"

With a "clang", a cup fell beside Mrs. Zeng, and all the tea in it spilled out, and Mrs. Zeng was also so frightened that she was silent.

Cui Shi had already opened his eyes, and Xue Juan also withdrew her massage hand in time and stood aside with her head down.

"A good dog hunt still depends on the owner! In vain, you have spent most of your life in the house, but the more you live, the more you go back. Since you are asked to listen to Yuxuan, your master is the eldest young grandmother, who gave you the courage to let you use my name as a blessing? It's all bullied to the master, will you not take me seriously after a while? ”

Cui's eyes were cold, and he frightened Zeng's mother-in-law and said, "The old slave doesn't dare!" The old slave was just confused for a while, and he didn't have the slightest disrespect for the eldest and youngest grandmothers, let alone you, Madame......"

Cui Shi was upset when he heard this: "Okay! Even if you do such a thing, you don't have to listen to Yuxuan. Xuejuan, you take her to the pulp washing room, and you will be a housekeeper mother there in the future. ”

Grandma Zeng only felt that a thunderbolt on a sunny day fell, although the status of the young grandmother was embarrassing, listening to Yuxuan is not a good place, but it is always better than the pulp washing room, if you go there, even if you are in charge, you can't escape the life of hard work, Grandma is really wronged this time, tears and snot flowed down, and begged for mercy again and again: "Madam, madam, for the sake of the old slave who has served for decades, spare the old slave......

Cui Shi turned a deaf ear, closed his eyes, and leaned on the bed again to sleep.

Xuejuan pulled her great-mother-in-law and whispered, "Still crying!" If you anger your lady again, it's not as simple as going to the pulp washing room! ”

Mrs. Zeng stopped her tears and followed Xuejuan out, but when she got outside, she still didn't forget to pull Xuejuan for help: "The girl is so helpful to the old slave to plead in front of Madame...... Otherwise, the old slave's old bones are afraid that they won't be able to hold up in the pulp washing room. ”

Xue Juan was unmoved, and said coldly: "You are also confused!" Madame hasn't even asked you to do anything, but you're on your own. caused trouble to his wife, and dared to come to sue. Letting you go to the pulp washing room is also considered a mercy on you! If I don't go again, my wife will wake up after a while and change her mind, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to protect her expulsion from the house! ”

Mrs. Zeng was so frightened that she didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly walked to the pulp washing room.

Cui Shi heard that there was no sound outside, and his heart slowly calmed down, and it seemed that he had to quickly arrange some competent subordinates for Listening to Yuxuan.........
