Chapter 17: Enveloping
"Madame's kitchen has prepared lunch, look ......" Xiao Cui'er stood behind You Xiaoya a little crampedly, looked at her cautiously and then at Jin Yuanyuan on the bed, and finally said a word.
"Just bring some over, by the way, how about the medicinal food and ginger soup boiled in the kitchen?" You Xiaoya's soft voice was long and pliable because it was deliberately lowered.
"It's all boiled." Xiao Cui'er responded.
"Well, you can have some to bring over and warm it, and Miss will give her some to eat when she wakes up. Also, you go and tell Steward Jin, in the future, I will eat with a few young ladies in our yard, just do it in the kitchen in our yard, so that you don't have to run so far every time you eat. ”
This is what You Xiaoya wanted to say last night, but although she was the owner of the yard at that time, Mother Li's gang of old thieves might have a lot of opinions about her, and she was angry when she said it. Now that she is holding them temporarily, no one dares to say anything when she makes this request.
"Yes" Xiao Cui'er heard You Xiaoya say this, although she felt that this was indeed unreasonable, but she had seen You Xiaoya's methods of governing people, and she didn't dare to put forward any opinions.
"Madame, Madame, it's not good—" Just as Xiao Cui'er withdrew, another little girl ran in shouting.
"Shhhhh Miss sleep! Xiao Cui'er was afraid of disturbing You Xiaoya, so she hurriedly grabbed the little girl and silenced her. The next girl saw that Xiao Cui'er was so nervous, and when she thought of what happened in the yard before, her whole scalp was numb, and she timidly covered her mouth and looked into the house a few times.
You Xiaoya frowned slightly, when the little girl shouted, she obviously felt that Jin Yuanyuan's body trembled, but she hadn't been awakened yet.
"What's the matter?" After appeasing Jin Yuanyuan, You Xiaoya spoke up.
"Husband, madam, that's the case, the person you and Miss rescued just now, he, he and Steward Jin started a fight!" When the little girl heard You Xiaoya ask, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her coming, lowered her voice, and hurriedly said to her.
"Let Steward Jin tie them up and throw them out." When You Xiaoya thought of the guy who almost made Jin Yuanyuan lose her life, her heart jumped.
"But, but, ......" The little girl obviously had something to say, but she didn't know whether to say it or not, and she was sweating in a hurry.
"But what?" You Xiaoya's voice was still low and slow, although she was a little impatient.
"Mrs. Hui, most of the courtyard and most of the courtyard have been ...... by that person," the little maid was thinking about what words to use to describe the scene when a group of servants were all overturned to the ground by that person in just a quarter of an hour.
"What happened to that man?" You Xiaoya's voice sounded above the little girl's head, and the little girl was too entangled in her thoughts, so she didn't notice You Xiaoya coming out for a while, and jumped back two or three steps in fright.
"Madame, Madame, forgiveness!" Realizing that her behavior was a great disrespect to You Xiaoya, the little girl knelt on the ground in horror.
Xiao Ya turned sideways slightly, avoiding the direction of the maid's kneeling, "Get up, let's talk about what's going on." ”
"Yes, yes......"
After that, You Xiaoya learned about the front yard from the little maid, and when she heard that the person was good at martial arts, and in the blink of an eye, she knocked down several servants who guarded the courtyard, and said to the girl: "Take me to see it." ”
"Yes" After the little maid finished speaking, You Xiaoya took the lead and walked towards the door.
Mother Zhou is now in a dilemma wandering under the pillars outside the house because of Jin Yuanyuan's affairs, after all, Jin Yuanyuan was the child she watched grow up first, and she didn't feel good when she saw her suffer this crime, and she was the little master of the Jin family, she committed such a mistake today, not to mention the death penalty and living crime, it was also a punishment.
And the Jin family, as a famous family for many years, has many maids and servants in the courtyard, so there have always been strict family rules for controlling this piece.
It's just that You Xiaoya hasn't spoken, so she can stay here at this time, she wanted to go in to see Jin Yuanyuan and her heart was weak, if You Xiaoya wanted to give her this board as soon as she saw her...... After all, she is not young at this age, if she is beaten by the board, the half life will almost go into the coffin, she ......
"Mother Zhou," You Xiaoya walked out of the house, and saw Mother Zhou wandering nervously under the pillars, the clothes on her body were still the same as the ones she was wearing before, because the sun was high and it was noon, so most of them had already dried, and only the hem was still a little water-stained.
"Yes, yes, madam......" Zhou's mother was anxious, and suddenly heard You Xiaoya shouting at her, and her legs were so frightened that she almost didn't fall to the ground. But because he has lived for such a long time and has seen some markets, he quickly stabilized his figure.
"You go to the house and watch the young lady, when she wakes up, let her drink some ginger soup, and I'll go outside the courtyard to have a look." You Xiaoya's tone was normal, just like on weekdays. But seeing that Zhou's mother was still wet again, she shook her hand and said, "Forget it, you better go back and change your clothes first, and find a reliable girl to watch first." ”
"Husband, madam...... Mother Zhou didn't expect You Xiaoya to have such an attitude towards her, which one was surprised in her heart?
"Take care of Miss, I'll go back as soon as I go." You Xiaoya knew that Mother Zhou was surprised, but she didn't have time to follow her mushrooms, so she took the maid out of the yard after giving the order.
"Madame, this way." The little maid led You Xiaoya through the cloister courtyard, You Xiaoya's steps were not fast, but after all, she was used to walking fast, and the little maid was only eleven or twelve years old, and she was also in a hurry at this time, and she couldn't help but be a little gasping when she spoke.
"What's your name?" You Xiaoya saw that although the little maid was timid, her whole eyes were pure and clear, and just now she rushed into her room recklessly, it could be seen that she was simple, if she trained her well, she might be able to use it.
"The slave's name is Cher." The little maid didn't expect You Xiaoya to ask her suddenly, so she was stunned before she replied crisply, and smiled at her a little embarrassedly at the end.
"Xue'er, how old are you from the Jin family?" You Xiaoya slowed down a little.
"Mrs. Hui, the slave maid followed her father to the Jin Mansion when she was eight years old." Cher said crisply.
"And how old are you?" You Xiaoya continued to ask.
"Mrs. Hui, Xue'er is ten years old this year." Xue'er was a little puzzled why You Xiaoya asked her these things.
"What did your father do in the Jin Mansion?" You Xiaoya asked again.
"Mrs. Hui, Daddy is a doorman at the corner gate of the outer courtyard, and he also helps the kitchen side on weekdays." Although she wondered why You Xiaoya asked this, Xue'er still didn't dare to hide it.
"I see, what does Cher do on weekdays?"
"Xue'er is in the yard on weekdays to water the flowers and weeds, and will also go to the vegetable garden to help Uncle and them grow vegetables and catch insects, sometimes when the kitchen is busy, I will also go to help......"
Xue'er snapped and said while thinking, but You Xiaoya knew from her narrative that this girl may have become like this because she was young and did not have a regular job.
"Would you like to come to my yard to do things?"
