In the backstreets of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, half of the Tai people who live are the servants of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for many generations, but there are also many maids who were bought later and have newly settled here.

If the servants of the family mansion are valued by the master, some of them are even better off than ordinary small families, and there are several close or distant relatives to cling, but it is also a sparse and common thing.

Since the time when the Marquis of Dingyuan was there, this backstreet has existed, and after so many years, the residents of the backstreet have long been mixed. There are still some small contradictions between mansions and mansions, not to mention that there are several families living in a courtyard in this backstreet, all of which have been crowded together for generations, and they can't see anyone when they look down, and friction between neighbors is indispensable.

The children of the family are okay, but the little girls in the family are older, so they ask for the grace of the master to go into the house to do things, not to mention the lack of a mouth to eat, and how much can be added to the family every month.

If someone goes up to the position in the house, someone will naturally retreat. Those older mothers-in-law have been in the inner courtyard for a long time, and they can't do the rough and heavy work outside the second door, but they would rather be idle at home and do needlework on weekdays to subsidize the family.

Today's spring is just right, and the drizzle that has been drizzling for several days has finally stopped, and in a courtyard in the back street of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, a woman of twenty-three or fourteen years old moved a round stool that was somewhat blackened by firewood. She sat in the spring sun with her eyes squinted, looking drowsy, but her hands did not pause in the slightest.

"Adong's daughter-in-law, you are idle today." Mrs. Wang, who was opposite the door, moved a wicker chair out in the same way, found a spacious place in the courtyard, and sat down to tie the rope.

Adong's daughter-in-law smiled shyly, stopped with both hands, and pinned a strand of broken hair from her ear behind her ear: "Today I went to weed in the garden, and accidentally fell, the fourth girl and the fifth girl were kind-hearted, so they greeted the housekeeper and asked me to come back for a day of rest." ”

Listened to Adong's daughter-in-law's words. Mrs. Wang squeezed her eyes at her, with a "I understand" expression on her face.

Since the eldest lady revealed the family affairs of the fourth girl, the temper of the fourth girl has become worse and worse, and only the previous three girls can compare. In particular, the news that the son of the Shangshu Mansion had not even passed the first children's test reached the mansion, and the subordinates of the entire mansion took a detour when they saw the four girls from afar.

Today, it must have been this Adong's daughter-in-law who made the punching bag for the four girls, and the housekeeper asked her to come back for a day in order to compensate her. Mrs. Wang looked at Adong's daughter-in-law's somewhat bruised forehead, and had already made up what had happened.

Anyway, it's just a little watering of the flowers and plants in the garden, and it's worth not taking care of it for a day. Thinking that there is a lot of monthly money for such an easy job, and thinking of his own boy who was transferred to Zhuangzi to do work, Mrs. Wang's heart was filled with a sourness.

That princess is a loud voice. As soon as the sound came out, the whole yard could hear the movement, and when the sun was just right, there was a woman who helped her mother-in-law to come to the yard and sit down.

I don't know who talked about Qu Pozi who was taken away by Princess Rui, and everyone sighed for a while.

The dampest room on the west side of this courtyard was originally where Qu Pozi lived, and she was taken away by the people of Rui Wangfu, and nothing was cleaned up in a hurry. The first few days were fine. Later, the family in her house belonged to one in the east and one in the west, and it was originally a house with four walls. It's even more empty.

Yesterday, Mrs. Wang, who was separated by a wall from Mrs. Qu, put all the tattered things in her house into Mrs. Qu's house, as if she regarded Mrs. Qu's house as her own small warehouse.

Fortunately, the remaining families in this courtyard are also kind, and they didn't say that they would share the broken house of Mrs. Qu, but no one jumped out and said that Mrs. Wang's actions should not be.

The few people sitting around whispered a few words about the day when Princess Rui returned to Ningning, and heard Xu Pozi, who had been silently concentrating on Chen Mi, say: "When she begged to enter the mansion, her head was bleeding, and she felt that she was pitiful. It's just that I didn't expect to do such a thing, it's really heart-to-heart......"

That Mrs. Xu said. He sighed softly.

Adong's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up, and her body couldn't help but tilt towards Mrs. Xu: "I remember that Mrs. Qu has been in the house for some years, and it has only been a long time since Mrs. Xu moved here, but don't look at my young age and casually frame me." ”

As soon as the dustpan in Mrs. Xu's hand was put down, her voice became a little louder: "What do I do for you, I also lived in the back street after I got the one from my house." He used to work in the garden. That day, I was wandering in the garden, and I happened to be seen by a housekeeper in the inner courtyard, and asked me to send the list of maids and mothers-in-law to the outer courtyard, so that another housekeeper could read it. As soon as I entered, I saw Mrs. Qu, who was still knocking with blood on her head, and I felt a headache when I stood next to me. ”

The old woman who was pushed out by her daughter-in-law to bask in the sun next to her said: "She was already old when she entered the house, and she didn't have a craft, and besides, if something like that happened, which house is willing to take her in, only our house is kind-hearted." ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly echoed, and when Adong's daughter-in-law saw this, she asked casually: "I don't know which person was in charge of buying the maid at that time, but she was very kind-hearted." ”

Although the question was casual, Adong's daughter-in-law's eyes still looked at Mrs. Xu.

"Naturally, she is the ancient mother in the old lady's house, and you also know that she has always been soft-hearted." Xu Pozi smiled, "That Mrs. Qu is still the person who was added by Gu's mother later, I can't imagine that now I dare to kill anyone for the sake of silver." ”

Adong's daughter-in-law also laughed, as if her body was warm, and her hands and feet were stretched: "It stands to reason that this Gu mother has saved Qu Pozi's life, but I haven't seen Qu Pozi thinking about Gu Pozi all these years, and Gu Mama hasn't taken much care of Qu Pozi." ”

Mrs. Wang sneered: "Mother Gu is kind-hearted, if everyone she helps has to take care of herself, she can't be busy." As for Mrs. Qu, she knew the Tao from the time she dared to kill, and she was not a person who could cover the heat. ”

Then the princess said a lot of bad things about Mrs. Qu, but she really said that she was all evil, and all kinds of forbearance towards her on weekdays became insidious.

It's a pity that Adong's daughter-in-law has no intention of listening to it anymore.

The sun was warm, and Adong's daughter-in-law slapped her leg violently: "I mean I forgot something, Adong said that he would come back today, and I have to add two dishes." Taking advantage of today's free time, I have to sell the yarn I have beaten in the past few days. After that, he panicked and took the good knots and colorful threads in his hands, slipped into the house, and before the people in the yard could react, he hurried out of the courtyard door.

"When will this fiery temperament change." The eldest woman laughed and cursed, and the people in the courtyard began to talk about other things.

The news from the backstreet and Gu's mother was sent to Ruiwang's mansion together, although many people in Qu Pozi were not familiar with it, but the people in Gu's mother's Dingyuan Marquis's mansion were not unfamiliar.

Gu's mother was a maid brought by Mrs. Gu from the Sun family, and she was a second-class maid by Mrs. Gu's side, and later she became a housekeeper in the outer courtyard. In the words of Guiye's mother, this ancient mother has a very good temperament, and she convinces people with reason first in everything, that is, Mrs. Gu was very partial to her back then.

As long as she is a housekeeper, she will always offend some people under the uneven interests, but this ancient mother is very tactful, and most of them are people who say good things about her. And I heard Guiye's mother say that since Gu's mother had a grandson, she rarely took the initiative to do errands, and most of them just ran errands in the inner courtyard.

Gu Qingwan stretched out her index finger and lit it on the letter, this was Gu Qingwan's subconscious action when she thought about something, Zheng Rui stared at her index finger, and suddenly muttered: "Qingwan, your fingers are so beautiful." ”

The girl of the Gu family really does not touch the spring water with her fingers, and she ∪ the appearance of the third girl with her precious eyes, in fact, Gu Qingwan prefers her hands, which really refers to cutting onion roots. Although Gu Qingwan also felt that Zheng Rui was right, but when he said it so frankly, Gu Qingwan blushed inexplicably.

But someone didn't wait for her to recover, so he pointed straight at Gu Qingwan and said, "Qingwan, you're blushing." ”

If Zheng Rui hadn't said this sentence in a flat and straightforward way, under the influence of the background of this era, Gu Qingwan would have felt that she had been molested.

Seeing that Zheng Rui wanted to say something more, Gu Qingwan glanced at her with a vicious look in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." ”

Zheng Rui locked his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then seemed to understand the meaning of Gu Qingwan's words. It can be seen that he didn't speak, Gu Qingwan had already skipped this topic and analyzed the gains and losses in the matter of Mama Ji.

Between her and Zheng Rui, Gu Qingwan didn't think about it, she felt that she was beside Zheng Rui, and she seemed to be becoming more and more casual. This kind of casualness is not only verbal, behavioral, but also psychological. Probably pretending to be too tired in front of outsiders, so in front of the ignorant Zheng Rui, she wanted to let go of her temperament.

Before she came to this era, although she was betrayed by her so-called relatives, she did not develop the habit of guarding against everyone around her. At least she has a few friends she can talk to, and there is some friction between colleagues in the workplace but not to the extent of intrigue.

But when she woke up in this strange time and space, she had to guard against everyone, just like her dear Gu Cunke, and she didn't dare to show her true nature when she was friendly to Guiye.

But even so, she still felt like a rootless duckweed, not knowing where to go next. She couldn't do the arrogance of the three girls, she felt that she was incompatible with this world, but she didn't reluctantly obey the rules of this world, and even adapted better than the original three girls.

Once again, she felt that maybe it was the right choice not to resist this family affair.

"You say, do I want to put a long line to catch a big fish, or do I want to stop charging some interest." Gu Qingwan looked at Zheng Rui with her cheeks raised, but she did not hide her cunning expression at the moment. (To be continued.)
