Chapter 29: Faithfulness
With a snap, the little girl had already been slapped in the face, and seeing that Xiao Huan was furious, the little girl screamed: "Beat someone, beat someone!" Xiao Huan didn't expect this little girl to disobey her own control, and she was about to scream, and was about to say another when she heard a voice behind her: "Roar, Xiao Huan, you are very majestic, you are beating the little girl and scolding people here, I haven't done it yet!" ”
Xiao Huan turned around and saw that it was Cui Sleeve, and the little girl's eyes were squeezed out of tears: "Sister Cui Sleeve, I just said a few words to the prince, Xiao Huan hated me to death, and said that he wanted to teach me a lesson!" Sister Cuisleeve, you haven't even touched a finger of me! ”
Xiao Huan didn't ignore the smugness on Cui Sleeve's face, and just about to defend himself, he heard Cui Sleeve shout: "Tut, Xiao Huan, your hands are really spicy, don't you fall in love with the world?" How dare Xiao Huan take this, Cui Sleeve has already said triumphantly: "Look, I'm going to go to the old lady and talk about this matter!" ”
This is a trap, I'm afraid that Cui Sleeve can't control the little girls, and it's also a trap to let herself be driven away, Xiao Huan's whole body was trembling, and when she saw Cui Sleeve going forward, she knelt down for Cui Sleeve as soon as she bit her teeth: "Sister Cui Sleeve, I didn't do this thing, please don't go to the old lady!" Cui Sleeves changed his face and spat on Xiao Huan's face: "Eat things inside and outside, you also have the face to kneel down for me?" Sister Qingdang was killed by you, and she has no way to live. ”
Bells? This long-lost name was re-said by Cui Sleeve, Xiao Huan's eyes couldn't help but widen, and Cui Sleeve had already said to the little girl: "Do you know what to say later?" The little girl nodded, Xiao Huan was already sitting on the ground dejectedly, and when she saw that Cui Sleeve was about to walk out, she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her feet: "Sister Cui Sleeve, it's all my fault, please spare me this time!" ”
Cui Sleeves looked at her: "You know how to beg me now?" What was your face when I just came in? I only know that I am holding a red shirt, isn't it because the mother of the red shirt is purchased by Mrs.? Ignore me and stumble on me. If Sister Qingdang hadn't told me about the old lady's habits earlier, I would have been harmed by you. It's late! After speaking, Cui Sleeve picked up Xiao Huan and left with the little girl.
The little girl took a step out and turned around and spat at Xiao Huan, and chased Cui Sleeve out. It's over, it's all over, Xiao Huan didn't expect that it was Qingdang who wanted to hurt herself, and she wanted to struggle but couldn't stand up. Someone helped her, Xiao Huan looked up and saw that it was Guo'er, and hurriedly pulled Guo'er's sleeve: "Guo'er, Yanran is decent in front of the old lady, Qingdang wants to harm me, she will definitely not let her go, you go and find Yanran, I beg her!" ”
Guo'er looked at Xiao Huan, and suddenly smiled: "Xiao Huan, you are doing it yourself, I won't beg Sister Yanran for you." Besides, Sister Yanran is sitting upright, and she never harms anyone, Sister Qingdang wants to complain, and she must complain about herself first, okay? ”
"I didn't end well, you won't have it, I ......" Xiao Huan saw that persuasion failed, so she wanted to threaten, but Guo'er just looked at her quietly like this, Xiao Huan was cold all over her body, and then Guo'er said: "Xiao Huan, don't wait here, it's useless to wait!" ”
Seeing Guo'er leaving, Xiao Huan's heart sank to the bottom, she had no errands, and when she returned home, she didn't know how she would be complained, and maybe she would be married to someone by her mother. It's scary to think about a day like this.
Zeng Zhiqing's brother and sister talked for a while in front of Mrs. Zeng, and Mrs. Zeng asked their brother and sister to go out, Zeng Zhiqing just walked out, and saw Cui Sleeve comforting a little girl there, Zeng Zhiqing took a closer look, and saw that the little girl seemed to be a little familiar, and couldn't help but step forward and ask: "What's wrong with this little girl?" ”
The little girl looked up and saw Zeng Zhiqing, with a ghost-like look on her face, and only hid behind Cui Sleeve. Cui Sleeve sighed and said: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, when the prince came in, the child and the son said a few words, but who knew that Xiao Huan saw it, pulled over and beat and scolded, saying that she seduced the prince." This little girl is only ten years old this year, but when she saw that the son of the world was kind, she just said a few words, who knew that she was framed like this! ”
Cui Sleeve's voice was neither high nor low, just enough for Mrs. Zeng to hear, Mrs. Zeng couldn't help but look at the red shirt with some dissatisfaction, the red shirt was between the lightning and flint, she already understood what was going on, and when she saw the old lady Zeng looking at herself, she said: "This matter, I'm afraid that Xiao Huan is making her own opinion!" ”
Old Madam Zeng sighed: "It's common for this big girl to discipline the little girls, but if it's ......" Old Madam Zeng didn't continue, the red shirt wanted to take herself out at this time, and said: "Xiao Huan usually serves the old lady, and it is quite careful!" ”
Old Madam Zeng didn't speak, just frowned and pondered there, and this thoughtfulness was naturally full of flaws. Besides, in Mrs. Zeng's heart, it is also common for this maid to love the young men in the family, but it is just a matter of thinking about it, and it is most unforgivable to be jealous and beat people for this.
The red shirt didn't know why Mrs. Zeng was silent, but felt that Cui Sleeve was a bad one, and she should be treated well in the future.
Zeng Zhiqing couldn't help but smile after listening to Cui Sleeve's words: "It's just a trivial matter, don't cry, your sister beats and scolds you for your good!" Cui Sleeve is afraid that Zeng Zhiqing will not speak for Xiao Huan, and when he heard Zeng Zhiqing speak for Xiao Huan at this moment, he was secretly happy in his heart, but the words in his mouth were a little complaining: "What the prince said, it can be seen that we are new here, and we are not as decent as Xiao Huan!" ”
These words are also common in Zeng Zhiqing's ears, Xiao Huan, who just walked out, heard this, and was immediately speechless in fright, and Zeng Zhiqing called her: "Xiao Huan, you have to discipline the little girls in the future, don't beat and scold too much!" ”
Listening to these sentences in the ears of Mrs. Zeng in the house, Xiao Huan became more and more self-respecting, Mrs. Zeng's hand couldn't help beating the table, but her voice was very calm: "But I forgot, they have grown up, and Xiao Huan is no longer a child!" ”
Cui Sleeves couldn't hear what Old Madam Zeng said in the house, but she could see the change in Xiao Huan's face, and added a fire: "Xiao Huan's temper is worse than mine, next time you have to remember, don't talk in front of Xiao Huan!" ”
The little girl nodded, Zeng Zhiqing thought she had understood something, and said with a smile: "It's all gone, it's just a little thing!" "Where can Xiao Huan disperse, his legs can't support himself, so he can only lean on the pillar next to him.
Yanran stood with Zeng Zhixian, and naturally saw this scene, and always felt that there was something wrong in these things, but she couldn't guess what was wrong. Seeing that Zeng Zhixian was going to the house, he hurriedly served her, and when he entered the house, Zeng Zhixian spoke: "This thing is really a coincidence! ”
Qiao could see at a glance that Yanran poured Zeng Zhixian a cup of tea before packing up her clothes: "Yes, it's too coincidental!" ”
"The subordinates are all hanging, but the men don't know, and they think that people are loyal now!" Zeng Zhixian's words made Yanran's heart jump suddenly, and then said: "The words of the eldest lady make people dare not accept it!" ”
"What's not to dare to take? My mother often said, how can a housekeeper do it easily? In addition to clear rewards and punishments, you can also distinguish loyalty and treachery. One of the ten who is faithful is already good. The rest, either for fame or profit, dare not betray the Lord, and a few, for other interests, there are many who quietly betray the Lord! ”
Yan Ran always felt that this was said to herself, and looked at Zeng Zhixian and said, "Then the young lady thinks, am I loyal or traitor?" ”
"You gave it to me from my grandmother, it doesn't matter if it's loyal or treacherous. After all, I live on my grandmother. It's a bit too much to ask for your loyalty! Yuejuan happened to come out and heard Zeng Zhixian's words, and hesitated for a moment before coming over and said, "Yanran has always been very dedicated to serving Miss!" ”
"So, it's enough for me to do this, my mother used to say before her death, it is very difficult to be loyal to people!" These words made Yuejuan kneel down in fright: "Miss, slave maid ......"
Zeng Zhixian picked Yuejuan up: "You get up, you are a loyal one, I know." But there's not much I can give you! These words reassured Yuejuan: "Miss, only the eldest lady can rely on the slave!" ”
Only in this way can he be loyal to Zeng Zhixian, how could Yan Ran not understand the meaning of these words, or looked at Zeng Zhixian: "I only know that serving people is good to serve, and nothing else, I can't think more!" ”
Zeng Zhixian also smiled: "This is a good thing, it's good to be able to say it." I saw that you had a look of disapproval, do you think this is a game set up by someone else? Although the topic changed quickly, Yan Ran still nodded: "Cui Sleeves and them, they need someone who can make the little girls listen to them, and the old lady, although she can't help the girls and the young men laugh, but they are also taboo to have other ideas." Xiao Huan is not so rigorous on weekdays. ”
Not only that, even if Mrs. Zeng found out that Xiao Huan was wronged afterwards, she would only let Xiao Huan leave her yard, and she needed to make an example, but Xiao Huan was not really wronged. The backyard of this Hou Mansion is really much more complicated than when he was in the foreign office. Zeng Zhixian sighed and signaled that he wanted to rest for a while, and let Yanran and Yuejuan both go out.
When she got out, Yuejuan said to Yanran with a half-complaint: "Sister Yanran, why don't you show loyalty to the eldest lady?" Yan Ran smiled faintly: "The eldest lady is a smart person, if I show my loyalty, the eldest lady will not believe it!" Not only will they not believe it, but they will also be suspicious, how can a person who has lost his parents and only has a weak brother trust someone else so easily?
