Chapter VI: Complaints
This maid is none other than her maid magpie.
Mu Qingling went back to visit her before, and left her a bottle of medicine, but before it was delivered to her, Mu Qingrou came a few times, talking and laughing, and "accidentally" broke her medicine.
Their reparations were very numb, they were angry, and they were not angry, so Mu Qingling had no choice but to say, "It's okay, I'll let the maid send another bottle when I catch up with Ming'er." ”
But it has been two days since Mu Qingling returned to the Gongfu Mansion, and the medicine has not been delivered.
Both the warbler and the magpie feel that something is wrong, the eldest girl has always been good at talking, and she does what she says, she is more concerned about Qingyun's sister than herself, and it is impossible to forget.
Although Qingyun had just come here, she could feel Mu Qingling's concern for her, and she was sincere, so she was worried that something would happen to her, so she asked the magpie to go to the Dingguo Mansion to take a look.
Of course, there is another task, which is to buy her medicine.
Now that the medicine has been bought, why was it accidentally caught?
When the magpie shouted for help, her footsteps paused, and the mother-in-law thought she was walking a step slower, so she stretched out her hand to push.
At that time, the magpie was going down the steps, and was pushed by the mother-in-law and fell directly to the ground.
The medicine bag in his hand was thrown forward, and it happened to hit the eldest lady's ankle.
The medicine bag is not heavy, and it doesn't hurt much if you hit your legs.
But the eldest lady was so angry that she had nowhere to go, and with a kick, she kicked the medicine bag away.
Qingyun's heart fluctuated with the medicine bag, for fear that the medicine bag would fall apart.
It was her throat medicine, and she had enough of not being able to speak.
The bag stopped after a few heels.
Qingyun hurriedly went over and picked up the medicine bag and patted the ashes off.
Fortunately, the medicine bag was sturdy, and it didn't fall apart when I fell and kicked.
The warbler helped the magpie up, and Qingyun picked up the medicine bag and came over to help.
The magpie fell badly, her hand slid across the ground, wiping off a layer of skin, her eyes were red from pain, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Qingyun was distressed and angry.
Of course, it's not the angry magpie, it's the angry woman, what's wrong with taking a slow step, and it's not in a hurry to reincarnate.
The eldest lady stood there, and the maid hurriedly asked her if she had been smashed, and then glared at the magpie angrily, and asked the mother-in-law, "What's wrong?" ”
The mother-in-law looked courteous, pointed to the magpie and said, "This maid sneaked out of the house and went to the Dingguo Mansion to complain to the eldest aunt and grandmother." ”
Qingyun's heart chuckled, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a sneer on the corner of the eldest lady's mouth.
Fang was still in a hurry to leave, but now he turned around and went back to the main house.
Qingyun gritted her teeth, she didn't expect the magpie to be caught, and it was a violation of the family rules to go out of the house rashly without permission.
Qingyun held the magpie, endured the discomfort in her throat, and whispered two words in her ear.
The magpie's eyes were red, and he nodded his head.
The woman was about to urge, but she heard that the rhyme was coughing, so she didn't say anything.
Stepping into the house, Qingyun saw the Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum screen again, she took a deep breath, and was about to go in.
There was a clang.
The old lady angrily dropped the teacup in her hand, smashed it on the ground, and shattered it into several petals.
The fragrant tea dyes the red carpet a dark red.
When the eldest lady saw it, a smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, she felt that it was not enough, and added fuel to the fire, "It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but the maids in our house are very bold, and they actually brought the ugly things in the house to the Dingguo Mansion." ”
Qingyun stood aside, looked at the magpie, and nodded at her.
The magpie knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, "Old lady Mingjian, the slave didn't go to the aunt and grandmother to complain, the slave and the maid knew that it was guilty of sneaking out of the house, but the aunt and grandmother came to see the third girl, and accidentally left the jade pendant she was wearing, which was the jade pendant that the aunt and the aunt were married. ”
"The third girl was afraid that the eldest aunt and grandmother would lose the jade pendant, so she let the slave maid go to the Dingguo Mansion for a trip, the eldest aunt and grandmother saw the third girl for two days, what can the slave and maid go to sue, even the slave and the maid went to deliver things, and waited outside for a long time, and waited for the eldest aunt to fall asleep, the eldest aunt and grandmother only saw the slave and maid, the eldest aunt and grandmother asked the third girl if she was in better health, and the slave and maid were afraid that she was worried, and said that the old lady, you found a doctor for the third girl, and the three girls took medicine and were already much better......."
The magpie said, the eldest lady's eyes narrowed, but she didn't notice that there was such a sloppy maid beside the third girl.
The magpie had a very good attitude of admitting his mistakes, not only did he not complain, but also said good things about the old lady in front of Mu Qingling, and the old lady's face was much better.
The mother-in-law who came with the magpie was angry when she saw the old lady, and said busily, "Don't believe the old lady's nonsense, the slave maid went out of the house to procure, and met the mother of the housekeeper of Mu Shangshu Mansion, the Dingguo Mansion knew that the girl in the lobby hurt her chin, and sent someone to ask, and the housekeeper's mother went to the Dingguo Mansion in person, she said that the magpie complained to the aunt and grandmother, saying that the third girl hurt her throat and couldn't speak, and asked the eldest lady to find the doctor, and the eldest lady clearly agreed, but in fact, she didn't look for it at all, and said that the old lady, you don't care about the third girl!" ”
Hearing what the mother-in-law said, the magpie was a little weak at that time.
She was really quick to talk and said it in front of her aunt and grandmother, but there was no one else in the house, and she spoke quietly.
Qingyun coughed lightly.
The magpie came back to his senses, immediately stood up, pulled his mother-in-law's clothes and said, "What are you trying to slander me, don't you know that Shangshu Mansion likes to provoke my uncle's mansion and look at the jokes of our uncle's mansion, and now the girl in the lobby is also going to marry into the Dingguo Mansion, and she has become a concubine with her aunt and grandmother." ”
"The mother of the steward of Shangshu Mansion can say good things about Bofu in front of Dingguo Mansion? The third girl and the eldest aunt are sisters-in-law, she despises the three girls, that is, she is despising the eldest aunt and grandmother, and she has not married before, so she wants to overpower the eldest aunt and grandmother, what she says, you also believe it! ”
"Moreover, the mother of the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion went to Dingguo Mansion not to talk about the injury of the lobby girl at all, but to tell Dingguo Mansion that the lobby girl's dowry will add another 20,000 taels, and the Dingguo Mansion will be happy!"
The more the magpie said, the more aggrieved he felt.
When people say bad things about Bofu, they don't scold her, but blame her, how can there be such a reason.
The old lady was even angrier this time.
When the magpie was in the Dingguo Mansion, Mrs. Mu had not come to the Bofu to ask for compensation, and she dared to say that she was sure that the Bofu would give the silver, and all of them would be given to Mu Qianran as a dowry, and the Bofu made wedding clothes for their mother and daughter!
The eldest lady gritted her teeth a little and glanced at the woman fiercely.
The mother-in-law's neck shrunk, her head was lowered, she took the magpie to invite merit, she knew that the eldest lady was angry, and sent a maid to give her anger, and now the eldest lady is not only not angry, but even more angry.
The mother-in-law looked at the medicine that Qingyun was carrying in her hand, and hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed, "You also said that you didn't sue, so what happened to the medicine you brought back?!" ”
Seeing her mother-in-law say this, the magpie was overjoyed, but she snorted in her mouth, "You think that medicine is for the throat of the third girl, it's really ridiculous, you can't eat anything casually, let alone the medicine, without the help of the doctor to check the pulse, who dares to give the third girl medicine indiscriminately?" ”
As he spoke, the magpie knelt down again, looked at the old lady and said, "The eldest aunt and grandmother are weak, and her face is bloodless, and the doctor has prepared a few pairs of medicines for her to replenish her body. ”
"Originally, the eldest aunt and grandmother also wanted the slave maid to bring some supplements back to the old lady, but the slave and maid sneaked out of the house and didn't dare to bring them, and the eldest aunt and grandmother also counted that the slave and maid should not sneak out of the house, saying that she would come back in a few days to ask the old lady to say goodbye."
The magpie said it seamlessly.
If it weren't true, she wouldn't be able to tell her lies so well.
The magpie was wrong for sneaking out of the house, but it was also forgivable.
However, even if there are extenuating circumstances, you can't go out of the house without permission, and what you bring with you today is just some medicine, if you bring some filthy things into the house, won't it ruin the reputation of the Bofu, and since the rules are established, it is not a decoration.
The eldest lady wants to punish the magpie.
Before she could speak, Qingyun coughed.
