Chapter 244: Repaying the Favor
Zhou Ziting looked at the maid and said with some disbelief, "Although there is a waterhole in Qixia Temple, the water around the waterhole is not deep, it is not knee-high, even if the fifth cousin falls into the water, it is impossible to almost drown, right?" ”
The maid shook her head and said, "The fifth girl didn't fall into the water in Qixia Temple, but in Huating Lake. ”
Huating Lake?
Originally, when she heard that Mu Qingrou fell into the water, Zhou Ziting still felt some sympathy for her, but that sympathy was long gone.
These days, although she has not left the house, she also knows a lot about things outside the house.
Today, it is the day when the king of Anjun travels to Huating Lake, the prince of Xuan likes to be lively, and he wants to invite a lot of young masters of the family to join him, and there are rumors that the lord of Yuxuan County has chartered a boat and invited a lot of ladies to play.
Of course, there are also those who are not invited, so they can go if they want to.
Zhou Ziting also wanted to go, but she didn't mention it.
Although she regards the Hou Mansion as her home and lives in the Liuyun Garden, where her daughter lives, everyone in the mansion calls her a cousin, reminding her all the time that she is just an outsider.
She could follow Mu Qingrou and them anywhere, but there was no time for her to act alone.
Especially Mu Qingrou, they were still being punished in Qixia Temple to help Qingyun pray for blessings, but she was going to Huating Lake to play, but she was too indiscriminate.
Who would have thought that Mu Qingrou, who was punished in Qixia Temple, actually went to Huating Lake and fell into the water.
is so bold, I didn't take the old lady's words to heart, do whatever she wants, if she hadn't fallen into the water, everyone thought that she was praying in Qixia Temple in peace, but now she fell into the lake and almost drowned, she really deserved it.
Mu Qingrou and the others were punished to go to Qixia Temple, and they only went to see them once, but Qingyun went to light the Changming lantern for the Jiang family.
Usually the eldest lady sent someone to see them, she went once a day, maybe they often ran out to play, Zhou Ziting didn't believe that Mu Qingrou would be so unlucky, she would be unlucky if she sneaked once, she would rather believe that she had walked too much at night. I ran into a ghost.
Zhou Ziting was angry in her heart, but it was not easy to show it on her face, she was a cousin in the end, as long as the eldest lady was in charge for a day. It wasn't her turn to accuse Mu Qingrou of not.
Zhou Ziting didn't say anything, let alone Qingyun, the two walked forward and walked forward.
The two went to Chunhui Temple.
As soon as I entered the main house, I heard a voice talking. "Miss Xu is kind to my Hou Mansion, wronged you to be a maid, that's not good."
The voice was kind, obviously the voice of an old lady.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyun spared the screen.
I saw a slender girl standing in the middle of the room.
Qingyun thought it was a lady, but when she got closer, she was stunned.
Zhou Ziting was surprised, "It's you." ”
The old lady smiled, "You know?" ”
Zhou Ziting replied, "Grandmother." I'll talk to you, last time I went to Qixia Temple with my third cousin, and saved a girl who was separated from her younger brother from the bully, she still had to be a maid for her third cousin, but the third cousin didn't agree, that girl was her, why did she come to Houfu? ”
Before the old lady could speak, Mu Qingzhi said, "It's really thanks to Miss Xu today, the fifth sister fell into the water." At that time, there was a fourth-grade official concubine who plunged into the water to save his fifth sister, but fortunately Miss Xu was one step ahead of him, otherwise he would ....... ”
Speaking of which. Mu Qingzhi stopped.
Needless to say, everyone understands.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, the clothes on my body are very thin, especially soaked in water, which can show you the graceful posture at a glance.
If he was really saved by the concubine of the four-rank official family, Mu Qingrou would have to marry him. There is no other choice.
Let the arrogant Mu Qingrou marry a concubine, and she is still a concubine of a fourth-grade official, and she can be angry to death.
Miss Xu heard Mu Qingzhi say that, and said busily, "That day, in Qixia Temple, the third girl and the cousin girl saved me, these days, I have nowhere to go, I begged Qixia Temple to take me in to help the third girl pray for blessings, yesterday I accidentally learned that Huating Lake is lively, and my younger brother likes to join in the fun."
Son, if it was in Kyoto, I would definitely go, I went to Huating Lake to find him, I didn't expect to see the five girls fall into the water, lived in Qixia Temple for a while, I also know that she is the sister of the five girls, she has been helping the three girls pray in Qixia Temple, it should be a very close sister, three
The girl was kind to me, and it just so happened that I could drink water again, so I tried my best to save her. ”
Hearing her say this, the corners of Qingyun's mouth hooked up a light smile.
Last time, I found that something was wrong with her, as if she had to be a maid for her.
In order to be careful not to make a mistake, I sent her away, but I didn't expect her to save Mu Qingrou in a roundabout way and enter the Hou Mansion again.
She likes Hou Mansion so much, and likes to be a maid for Hou Mansion?
I'm afraid that Mu Qingrou will fall into the water, it's not as simple as an accident.
It's just that last time, she saved Miss Xu, and she didn't agree to accept her as a maid, but this time, she saved Mu Qingrou, can the Hou Mansion still refuse her request to be a maid for the Hou Mansion?
Yes.
The Hou Mansion will not let the life-saving benefactor be a maid.
The old lady smiled, "Miss Xu is kind to the Hou Mansion, how can I wronged you to be a maid, you are helpless in Kyoto, just live in the Hou Mansion for the time being, go back and let people draw a portrait of the younger brother, the Hou Mansion will send someone to find it, as long as the younger brother is still in Kyoto, you can always find it." ”
Miss Xu shook her head lightly and said, "I saved Miss Xu because the third girl once saved me, I was to repay my kindness, how could I eat and drink for nothing in the Hou Mansion, and ask the Hou Mansion to take me in as a maid, I will do anything." ”
She insisted on being a maid, and the old lady didn't know what to say, so it was rare for a girl to repay her kindness.
She looked at Qingyun and said, "Just let her follow you." ”
Qingyun didn't speak, she was thinking about how to refuse, she really didn't need a maid of unknown origin and unknown intentions by her side.
Before the result could be thought about, the eldest lady said, "I think it's better to follow Qingrou." ”
Qingyun hurriedly climbed down the pole and said, "Let's let Miss Xu follow the fifth sister, although I saved her, but she is the savior of the fifth sister, I will call her as a maid, the fifth sister should be annoyed with me." ”
The old lady thought for a moment, and then said, "Then Miss Xu will follow Qingrou." ”
Miss Xu hurriedly thanked her.
It's just that when I lowered my eyes, a dark light flashed in the depths of my eyes.
The eldest lady asked the maid to take Miss Xu down to rest.
After Miss Xu left, the old lady began to get angry.
Last time, Mu Qingrou was punished for kneeling in the Buddha Fragrance Temple, and she hurt her face for not following the family rules and was almost disfigured.
She didn't want to repent, and she intensified her efforts, and during the punishment, she went to Huating Lake to play, and if she was not punished, she was really going to turn the sky upside down.
Then, Mu Qingrou and the three of them were more unlucky.
Originally, they would be able to return to the Hou Mansion tomorrow, but now, they were fined for another month, and they were punished for living in the Buddha Incense Temple.
Mu Qingrou is protected by the eldest lady, and she is afraid that she will have a high fever when she falls into the water, so she will go to the Buddha Fragrance Courtyard when Ming'er is fine.
Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue had to go to the Buddha Incense Temple immediately to be punished.
After dealing with this matter, the old lady had time to ask about Lord Jinshu's eye disease.
Qingyun didn't say anything, and Zhou Ziting said it in detail.
The old lady listened, fiddled with the Buddha beads and said, "I hope that Lord Jinshu's condition has really improved." (To be continued.) )
