The red brocade stood for a while, until the flattering voices of the mothers-in-law guarding the courtyard gate could not be heard, and then he came back to his senses. As soon as she turned around, she saw Guiye standing not far from her, looking at her with a wrong look.

Hongjin was full of excitement, his face suddenly became flustered, and the hand holding the copper trembled: "Gui ...... Sister Guiye, I didn't want to accept it just now, who knew that Sister Xingyu was in such a hurry, I will return it to her tomorrow. ”

It is not a good errand to be an errand in the Yuanxiang Pavilion, at least the third-class maid in the courtyard of the old lady and the lady has more face than her in the Yuanxiang Pavilion in front of outsiders. Not to mention these vain, even the rewards she receives every month to spread the word in various courtyards are not much. In the final analysis, it is because the master in the Yuanxiang Pavilion has nothing to make people want.

On that day, those who followed the three girls to Huaiwang's Mansion were in addition to Taozhi, and there were two second-class maids. Taozhi was summoned by the second lady to send things at that time, and the two second-class maids who followed the third girl naturally did not fall well, and after the incident, they were sent to the village in the countryside, and they couldn't even wait for them to celebrate the New Year.

It stands to reason that the maids of Yuanxiang Pavilion should be punished for losing their masters. It's just that the second lady and the fifth girl begged for a fight, and the eldest lady said that now Beijing is chaotic enough, and this family is no longer in chaos, so each maid deducted a month's monthly money, and the small punishment is just a big commandment.

The red brocade and Biliu that made up for the lack were selected from the third-class maids, because there were not enough people before the New Year's Festival, and they were all selected from the maids guarding the garden. Hongjin is afraid that it is the first time to receive an extra silver reward, and he is still a little confused.

Gui Ye thought about it and laughed: "Since I gave it to you, you will accept it generously, as long as you don't forget that you are a person from the Yuanxiang Pavilion." ”

Seeing that Hongjin was still a little apprehensive, Guiye comforted: "You have just been transferred in from the garden, and it is normal to be a little uncomfortable, but we are no better here than the empty gardens you guarded before." At this time, you should think about what you should do and what you shouldn't do, what you can collect, and what you can't touch. ”

Although Hongjin didn't understand much, he was still busy nodding,

Gui Ye said again: "It's all empty words to tell you now, just remember it yourself." The girl said that she didn't have much appetite, and I put the refreshments on the table, and you can take out the refreshments and share them with Biliu. Today I am keeping vigil in the compartment, and if there is any urgency, I will come to the compartment to find me. ”

Hongjin responded, took a sneaky glance at Guiye with a small lacquer plate, and saw that she opened the curtain and entered the room without looking back. Hongjin breathed a sigh of relief and quietly retreated.

It was already time to turn on the lamp, the stove had already burned, and it was still very warm inside. Gu Qingwan abandoned the warm quilt, wore a short jacket with dark patterns and half sat on the kang, put a brocade fur blanket on her legs, and still looked at the "A Brief History of the Great Zhou", and still had words in her mouth.

For Gui Ye, such three girls are especially unfamiliar.

Although it was already dark, the hour was still early, and Gu Qingwan was not used to going to bed so early. She knew that tonight was the Guiye vigil, and when she saw her come in, she said casually: "You go to the compartment and rest first, I can't sleep for a while, if there is anything, I will naturally call you." ”

Seeing that Guiye hadn't moved for a long time, Gu Qingwan raised her head suspiciously and glanced in the direction of Guiye.

Gui Ye looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, but it made Gu Qingwan a little interested, she put down the book and sat up cross-legged: "Do you have something to tell me?" ”

From the first day Gu Qingwan woke up, she observed it for more than ten days in a row, and then she felt that Guiye was very strange. She cares about herself very much, that is, she takes care of the small details very thoughtfully, but she doesn't like to come to Gu Qingwan. said that she was loyal, but her attitude was a little cold, and that she was not good, but she could do everything.

Guiye hesitated for a while, saw Gu Qingwan looking at her with a clear expression, and finally said: "The second master came before dinner, and he didn't pass through the front door, but threw a purse into the low wall at the back, saying that it was for the girl." ”

As he spoke, Guiye took out a navy blue half-used purse from his sleeve, and said, "The slave maid saw that the fourth and fifth girls were there, and they never mentioned it. ”

Gu Qingwan took the purse from Gui Ye's hand, and felt a little heavy when she started it. She opened it and saw that there were two silver bills inside, and the edges and corners were polished a little smooth.

She blinked, clenching the corner of her purse.

Gu Cunke, the second master of the Gu family, is the younger brother of the third girl, Gu Qingwan, and her mother, because the He family died of a blood collapse, Gu Qingwan listened to the instigation of the people around her when she was a child, and felt that Gu Cunke killed the He family, and she has never been very friendly to this younger brother. Although Gu Cunke is a son-in-law, the second master also has a sister-in-law Gu Cunzhang under his knees, and the old lady and the uncle Gu Cunyu who was raised by himself, Gu Cunke's sister-in-law is not so unusual.

In addition, Gu Cunke has no one to plan for him since he was a child, and he has been cultivated by Xiao Sun's timid and cowardly temperament, which is naturally inferior to Gu Cunzhang, who is quick-witted. In the words of the second master, it is "unbearable".

It's a pity that he struggled to grow up in the house at a young age, no more arrogant than Gu Qingwan, and he knew how to make a big fuss after being wronged. Gu Cunke was wronged, and he was afraid that he could only swallow it in his stomach.

It's just that cowardice is cowardice, but Gu Cunke knows that Gu Qingwan is his sister-in-law, and he always cares about the friendship between sisters and brothers, and is very tolerant of Gu Qingwan. If there is something strange in hand, the first thing that comes to mind is Gu Qingwan.

It was these two silver bills, even if it was also a meeting gift from an elder, he thought that Gu Qingwan was short of money, so he quietly sent it over.

Even if this emotion does not really belong to her, Gu Qingwan has the greed to keep it. It's been a long time since she's met someone who genuinely cares about her.

"He's very tight on his own money, I'm better than him, can I really lack my share?" Gu Qingwan blinked again, but the purse in her hand was held tighter, "Now that it's inconvenient for us to go out, I'll take this purse, if he secretly sends something over next time, you will learn what I just said to him." ”

Gui Ye heard Gu Qingwan say that she was "able to make trouble", and she almost couldn't help laughing. It was only after listening to Gu Qingwan's words that she showed a shallow smile: "The slave maid knows what to say, and next time she will definitely give it back to the second master like this." ”

Seeing Gu Qingwan lowering her head and reading again, Gui Ye quietly retreated. Before going out, I couldn't help but sigh.

The three girls now look at more governors than before, and I hope that there will be a follow-up after the great disaster.
