Nian Lu didn't dare to take the initiative to tell Mu Qing about her situation, for fear that Song Pan'er would think she was jealous and framed.

So she begged Gu Jinzhi.

And Gu Jinzhi opened his mouth to say those words for no reason, Song Pan'er was only afraid and puzzled about what Gu Jinzhi often pouted in the ground.

Song Paner cares about two things the most: the family deceived her and taught her daughter badly.

If Gu Jinzhi said it, Nian Lu would have committed two taboos in one go, and Song Pan'er would only be afraid that her heart would be cold in the future.

Nian Lu was also kind-hearted, so she specially told Gu Jinzhi about the incident last night, why should there be these misunderstandings?

Gu Jinzhi took Song Pan'er to the garden this morning, also thinking that these two little girls would show their strange appearances and be discovered by their mothers.

In this way, no one will have to bear the charge of suing the black and instigating the lady.

Gu Jinzhi sat aside and drank tea.

Poor Nianlu didn't know what Gu Jinzhi meant, and was scared to death.

Song Paner was also reluctant to interrogate her daughter who knew about it, so she forced the two girls to question.

Nian Lu was scared, she had no scruples in her mouth, and she took Mu Qing's affairs in one go.

Mu Qing's face was already dead to ashes.

She just collapsed on the ground.

After listening to Song Pan'er, she looked at Mu Qing's face again, and knew that Nianlu was not lying.

"Mu Qing, you are also an old man in the mansion over there. I don't have enough people around me, so I brought you to help with the stewardship. You knowingly violated the rules like this, and you broke the rules first, so I had to return you to the eldest lady's side. Song Paner said coldly.

Mu Qing raised her head, looked at Song Pan'er pleadingly, and climbed to her feet: "Madam, you listen to me for a reason." Let me confess clearly, and I won't complain if I am killed. ”

Song Pan'er bowed slightly.

There is a bit of pity in my heart.

"I am not the son of the Gu family, because Lao Tzu Niang is poor, and there are many brothers and sisters, the family is about to starve to death. I have been sensible since I was a child, and I sold it at the age of seven and exchanged it for fifteen taels of silver to survive. I have an older brother who is lazy and likes to drink and gamble.

That's the old story.

Next to the second master, there is a second steward who is in charge of everything, who is twenty years old this year, only three years older than me, and originally entered the house with me. I was seven years old and he was ten. They are all in the miscellaneous office, and they take care of each other. I have no support, and I treat him as a relative.

Then...... Then. He gradually changed his temperament, and learned to be frivolous and oily. The second master promised Liu Er beside the second lady to him, but he came to me, saying that he was helpless and did not dare to disobey his master. In the future, when he is developed, he will hire me again. Although it is a second room, it also hurts me the same.

I was angry and angry. Madam, the conscience of heaven and earth, the love of childhood, I also took it seriously. It's just that he's getting more and more frivolous. I can't get used to it anymore. He marries, what does it have to do with me? I was only thirteen years old at the time, and I had just entered the eldest lady's room to read tea. I'm scared to death.

Liu Er was originally delicate and frail, and she was not as good as he wanted, and beating and scolding were common. One year after entering the door, he kicked a six-month-old brother down, and the next year he jumped into a well and died. Madam. No matter how bad my Mu Qing is, I don't dare to associate with this kind of person again.

He lost his wife. Instead, he became the first celebrity in front of the second master. Whenever my wife sent me out to deliver something to the eldest young master and the eldest master, and bumped into him, he always had to confess his love when he was a child. He also said that I was almost eighteen years old, and I was at the age when I should be released, so I begged matchmakers everywhere to talk to me about matchmakers at home.

My parents were pitiful and didn't know anything about the world, but they only said that he was a steward, although he died of his wife, and he would be happy with him in the future. My brother has benefited a lot from him, and every time I go home, he always talks about it. I just didn't let go, and told my father and mother, don't do it, or I'll die headlong.

The mother-in-law and sisters in the courtyard also heard the rumors, and Su Ri and I wanted to make fun of me; Those who are unfair to me will add oil and vinegar to smear me.

At the beginning of April, my wife rewarded me for going home, and my father and mother said that my brother was detained in the casino and wanted to chop off a hand, and it was he who gave me fifty taels of silver to redeem my brother, and I didn't want to pay it back, and I didn't have to pay back the money, just wait for me to let it out, and beg me to come ......."

Song Paner didn't speak for a long time.

"That's why you want to come with us?" Gu Jinzhi asked on the side.

Mu Qing paused before saying, "Yes...... If that bastard mentions me to the second master, begging the second master, and the second master asks the eldest lady again, the eldest lady will definitely not refute the second master for me.

I was with the eldest lady for more than five years. My sisters have gone out, and I thought they would rely on me. But later Chunqiao and Chunxi were more capable and ingenious than me, and they all compared me to me. The eldest lady didn't care much about me. As soon as the second master asked for it, he naturally gave it, and I had only one way to die.

As soon as I came, my wife appreciated it, and I deeply felt that my wife knew my grace and was willing to follow me to serve, which was sincere, and the slightest hypocrisy would thunder in the sky; It's also true to avoid the bad things in the house over there. ”

Song Paner still didn't speak.

Gu Jinzhi didn't speak again.

Nian Lu felt sad instead, only feeling that a person like Mu Qing had such a grievance that he couldn't say to others, and he was panicked.

"Get up, all of you." Song Paner finally said.

Nianlu climbed up.

Mu Qing didn't dare.

"Nian Lu." Song Paner said.

That's no matter for Nianlu.

Nianlu breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned and went.

"It's not a big mistake that people have selfish intentions." Song Pan'er said to Mu Qing, "I'll forgive you for your little plan to come with us first." But what you say is true? I'm going to send someone to investigate, there's a lie, you don't want to live. ”

Mu Qing hurriedly said, "Madame, just check." If Mu Qing told a lie, Mu Qing would not have to die well, he would have a boil on his tongue, enter the eighteenth layer of hell, and be a beast forever. ”

It's too poisonous.

Either she really tells the truth, or she is ruthless.

Song Paner also wanted to take the opportunity to understand this girl.

She said, "Don't say anything cruel yet. What is that steward called? ”

"It's called Cai Ping." Mu Qing said, "These days, I have done needlework at night, and the little guy on the corner door took it out to sell, and I also asked him to take out the monthly money in the house and hand it over to my brother, and first returned Cai Ping's fifty taels." "That's why I sneaked around, and I won't dare to do it again.

Song Pan'er nodded.

"Let's get out first." Song Paner said.

Waiting for Mu Qing to get up and go out, Song Paner leaned on the big pillow. Let Gu Jinzhi pinch her legs again.

Gu Jinzhi followed her words and pinched her.

"Nianlu told you first?" Song Paner asked her daughter with a smile.

Gu Jinzhi also smiled and said, "She didn't dare to sue you, for fear that you would think she would sue you, and that you would suffer a loss, so she asked me to take a turn." ”

Song Pan'er showed a bright smile: "Among my maids, when it comes to things, Nianlu is the most bad, she means where to fight, and she will not be flexible at all." But I feel the same pain in my heart as Begonia, Peony, and Aofu. Just because of this child. There is only me in my eyes, and I always think of a hundred ways, afraid that I will be embarrassed. ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Song Paner to her cronies. Very wide and.

She doesn't suspect that she uses people, which Gu Jinzhi likes in her heart.

Not suspicious, it's easier said than done.

Then, Song Pan'er asked Gu Jinzhi again: "Mu Qing's words." How much is it true? ”

"There are no nines, but there are seven or eight points." Gu Jin said, "She said that the eldest lady doesn't like her, but I think it's reasonable - her personality has a bit of the calmness of the eldest aunt." If it were me, I wouldn't like a maid with a similar personality to myself. I always feel that she can guess my heart, but she is not steady. ”

Song Pan'er sneered, and then nodded her forehead: "You are a big ghost." And pay attention to these. ”

However, if you think about it carefully, Mu Qing's personality is indeed a little like the eldest lady.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and drilled into his mother's arms.

Song Pan'er rested for a while. After laughing with his daughter, he asked the little maid to go to the outer courtyard and call the secretary.

Mu Qing returned to the room.

Peony and Nianlu are out to serve.

Peony asked Nianlu, "Mu Qing, what's wrong?" Madame scolded her? ”

I can't. Madame likes her so much, what did she do?

Nian Lu felt pity for Mu Qing in her heart, she shook her head, and said to Peony: "Sister, you should answer here, I will go back to the room first and change my clothes." I got up early to accompany my wife to visit the garden, and my back was a little sweaty......"

Peony told her to go quickly: "Don't be frightened by the sweat. ”

Nian Lu thanked him, turned around and left.

Song Pan'er talked to the secretary in the inner room for a while, and called out peony again.

"Go and open the money box, and take out twenty taels of silver to the secretary." Song Paner said.

Peony said, turned around and opened the money box.

While opening the cash box, she thought: No matter how much Madame loves Mu Qing, she has not crossed her peony. In the past few days in Beijing, isn't it all her peony who is in charge of the money?

When I was in Yanling Mansion, the money was in the hands of Mother Song and Haitang.

It shows that whoever the lady trusts the most will let the person take care of the money.

That being the case, what is the competition between her and Mu Qing?

Peony felt a lot more relaxed in her heart, and she also felt that Mu Qing was not so hateful.

She took some, first to show her wife, and then to the secretary's note.

The secretary took the money and went.

In the afternoon, the sun was westward, Song Paner was resting, Gu Jinzhi, Brother Xuan, and Zhu Zhongjun were writing on the kang in the east, and the secretary came back.

Gu Jinzhi entered the inner room and took a look, Song Pan'er was still sleeping.

She didn't wake her mother, but asked the secretary to come forward and ask him what he had asked.

"Cai Ping is the favorite of the second master, this is true; Mu Qing's brother is a good gambler, and he was almost killed when he lost money two months ago, and there are also some of them; Cai Ping likes Mu Qing and says that they are childhood sweethearts, which is also true. When his wife didn't die, he always said that he wanted to ask Mu Qing to be a second room, his wife was a soft dough, but his mother-in-law was spicy, and she also came to the door to beat Mu Qing once, and the people in the house knew that there was such a thing.

It's just that Mu Qing has always been serious, and he blindly serves the eldest lady, never wants to go out to hire people, and doesn't joke with the boys, so no one dares to mention it. When the people below talk about Mu Qing, the foul language is not very good. It is also true that Cai Ping's wife jumped into a well two years ago. His wife's mother bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, and she didn't dare to find Cai Ping, and she wondered that Mu Qing was a fox, a fox, and a fox, so she stopped her and beat her. The eldest lady asked Mu Qing, but Mu Qing didn't recognize it. I heard that because of these, the eldest lady was also puzzled by Mu Qing's troubles, so she didn't want to see Mu Qing very much. ”
