For several days, I didn't see Brother Li much in Qingyuan, and even going to the big kitchen to get food every day became an errand for Ah Tao and Guo'er.

However, this also happened to make Cui Wanqing discover that Ah Tao was an honest-looking, actually very smart little girl, maybe because of her appearance, it was reassuring to look at, and the flattering words that came out of her mouth would make people believe it even more.

This point, from the meals that change every day, Cui Wanqing fully understands it.

Cui Wanqing was short of manpower, she found out Ah Tao's strengths, and was very happy, although she was really nervous about the silver money in hand, but she was still very generous, and rewarded Ah Tao with a silver gilt cat's eye lotus hairpin.

Although Ah Tao is only eight years old and her appearance is only ordinary, she loves to dress up more than a few beautiful girls.

Cui Wanqing discovered early on that this child always likes to look at the buns of several young ladies, and her fourth sister is the object of her admiration.

So compared to giving silver, Cui Wanqing felt that giving a hairpin that was still like a spot might impress her more.

Sure enough, the little girl's happy words at that time were not good, and later Yingqiao reminded her that she knew that she kowtowed and thanked her, and when she stood up, she actually burst into tears.

Cui Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little funny, this hairpin is actually not a good object, it is said to be an inlaid cat's eye, but in fact, the cat's eye is the size of a corn kernel, and the color is not pure yellow or red, it is because of its inconspicuousness, so it can escape the palm of Ma's mother and stay until now.

Cui Wanqing secretly sighed in her heart: "Giving gifts is to do what you like, this sentence is really right." ”

But I saw that Ah Tao, who was about to walk to the door, suddenly pinched the hairpin in his hand, turned around and turned back to the house, and knelt straight in front of him.

Cui Wanqing was stunned by her, and she couldn't help but sit up straight when she was leaning comfortably on the beauty's collapsed body, and was about to comfort the happy child for a few words, but she heard Ah Tao's firm tone: "Miss, the maid has something to say to you." ”

Cui Wanqing looked at her solemn appearance, and suddenly thought of something, but she looked up at Yingqiao, Yingqiao smiled and curtsied, and walked to the door.

Before leaving the house, he was on the long table against the wall, and took a needlework basket, which sat at the door and guarded the door, and he had to have a job in his hand, right?

You can't just sit there dry, and you're going to be thinking about something unspeakable.

Ah Tao watched Yingqiao come out of Miss's boudoir and knew that this big girl, who was trusted by Miss Nine, was going to let off steam.

Only then did he kowtow to his nominal little master.

She mustered up the courage to say to Cui Wanqing: "Miss, the maid is actually the eyeliner that the second lady put in your yard, oh, speaking of which, I'm afraid it's not even eyeliner, anyway, it's just to let the maid look at what you do, who you like to associate with, and so on." ”

"This matter started last year, when you started copying scriptures for the old lady, at that time, you had already begun to guard against the two mothers, and when you saw that you couldn't get any news from the two of them, you set your eyes on our little girl."

"Every time the servants go to report the news, they can always get three or five big money, or silk flowers that people don't want, what others say, the servants don't know, but the servants see what they say every time, they are afraid that they are boring to hear, and they are very light on the maids, but they value others."

Cui Wanqing listened to Ah Tao's words, and she didn't feel so surprised in her heart, her Qingyuan territory is not big, and there are only twelve people in total, even the mother-in-law and maid on the sprinkler.

There are also two maids here who are in a favor lawsuit, and they only receive monthly money in their names, but Cui Wanqing has never even seen anyone.

She believed in her heart that only Yingqiao was still on the same front as her for the time being, even if it was Brother Li, she had only really been subdued in recent days.

Although she knew that all the people around her were arranged by her mother-in-law, she really heard Ah Tao say it honestly, and this feeling of being watched at all times really made Cui Wanqing uncomfortable.

When Ah Tao first started to speak, he was still a little nervous, and his voice trembled unavoidably, but then he spoke more and more smoothly.

I only heard her pause suddenly, probably thinking about the next words, what should be said more appropriately.

Then he said to Cui Wanqing: "The servant confessed to the master today, not to ask for your forgiveness, but the servant has seen it for the past half a year, but I feel that you are a rare good master. ”

"Originally, the maid thought in her heart, completely cut off contact with that side, and do a good job in front of you. However, there will be great news here, and I have to tell you that if you can really think of being chosen by the second lady, it can be regarded as a servant who will be of some use to you. ”

As soon as Cui Wanqing heard this, the magnificent mother with a red treasure bracelet in her hand instantly appeared in her mind.

Sure enough, I only heard Ah Tao say next: "Miss, can you remember the few days ago when we went to say good morning to the second lady, and the few people we met in her yard were extremely decently dressed?" The leader of them is still talking to you and Miss Seven. ”

Cui Wanqing saw Ah Tao looking at herself, so she nodded cooperatively, curled the corners of her mouth, smiled, and said sincerely: "The gold bracelet she carries on her hand is embedded with a large piece of ruby, and even Mama Yang, who is most trusted by her mother, does not have her dignity." ”

When Ah Tao heard this, her expression was much more relaxed, and Cui Wanqing's words touched the line in her heart, and her tone of voice became brisk.

She approached Cui Wanqing, lowered her voice and said, "Miss Jiu, there is a reason why I chose a maid to come over to serve you, the maid's aunt is the mother in the second lady's yard, and she helped Mother Zhou in the small kitchen. ”

"Just a few days ago, the maid went home, and overheard her gossiping with the maid's mother in the kitchen, according to her, those mothers are quite a bit of a background, they are here to ask for their son-in-law, and they are still a young master, but the body is not very strong."

"The lady of the house loves her son, so she wants to marry a daughter-in-law, just ask for a gentle and virtuous lady, and wait for the son to live with peace of mind.

"Miss, you also know, our eldest lady, she is going to enter the palace to be elected, the fourth miss is an extremely strong character, and a mouth is even more choking, who dares to ask for such a powerful daughter-in-law?"

"The rest of the ladies are all concubines, and their status is there, and the maid is thinking in her heart, and only you are the only one, who is a concubine and has a good temperament, if it is really planned, it is really a good thing."

Cui Wanqing looked at Ah Tao, who was excited, as if this matter could be done as long as she nodded and agreed.

I feel a little ridiculous in my heart, this child is still too young, smart is smart, and knows good and bad, but there are too few things.

She only saw the good side, but completely ignored the bad side.
