Chapter 14: Self-Suffering

"Things are old and valuable, people are old and cheap, don't say good things to coax me!" Old Madam Zeng was not as happy as Ziling, but just said a word. Ziling chuckled in her heart, and then smiled: "What is the old lady talking about?" In this family, who doesn't respect you? Even if it's what they want to do? It's not about pleasing you, it's good to show your face in front of you! ”

"It's normal to please me, but to please me, you shouldn't fight bad things, or even fight, in order to please me!" Saying that, Mrs. Zeng raised her eyes and glanced at Ziling, and then smiled: "I'm also old, I can't think about it, how can there be anything in this world that can fulfill my wishes?" ”

Xiao Huan had already walked to the door, and when he heard the conversation between Ziling and Old Madam Zeng coming from inside, he couldn't help but stop and listen, these words seemed to have a deep meaning. Xiao Huan chewed on the words of Mrs. Zeng, and just wanted to go in, she saw a little maid walk in.

Xiao Huan raised her eyes to look, like a little girl in Zeng Zhiqing's room, and Hua'er had already stepped forward: "Who are you looking for?" This little girl got Yuehua's instructions to let her walk around outside first, and then come and tell Yanran a few words. The little maid was instructed, found a place to sleep, and woke up before hurriedly coming to look for Yanran.

At this time, seeing Hua'er asking, the little maid said, "Sister Yuehua asked me to come and talk to Sister Yanran, she said, Sister Yanran should be careful." "The maids in this yard, there are eleven or twelve of them, Yan Ran listened to Yuehua let people come to talk to herself, and just about to step forward when she heard this little girl say this, Yan Ran's eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

These words naturally fell into Xiao Huan's ears, she took a closer look at the little girl, gritted her teeth and made up her mind, picked up the curtain and entered the house.

When Mrs. Zeng saw Xiao Huan enter the house, she stopped talking and looked at her: "Is the green bell better?" Xiao Huan said respectfully: "Sister Qingdang said, thank the old lady for her grace." He also said that when he lay down for a day, he would come to serve in front of the old lady tomorrow! ”

"Since she fell and injured herself, I don't lack her to serve alone, let her lie down for two more days!" Old Madam Zeng said lightly, these words made Xiao Huan immediately make up her mind, looked at Ziling and said, "Didn't the old lady ask Sister Ziling to ask, who removed the lichen!" The slave maid just heard Sister Qingdang say, I don't know how the flowers did it, let the lichen get water, she asked the flowers to remove the lichen, and planned to wipe the floor, who knew that if you didn't have time to wipe the floor, the old lady, you will come back! ”

A trace of anger flashed on the old lady's face, Xiao Huan observed the words, and continued: "Sister Qingdang is also afraid that the lichen will be removed, and it is not good for the old lady to enter the warm pavilion!" The last sentence, just like not saying it, Ziling had already signaled Xiao Huan to go out. Xiao Huan's heart was beating wildly, no matter what, this has already been said, as for whether Qingdang is unlucky or not, it depends on what the old lady thinks? Who wouldn't want to be first-class? But according to the temperament of the green bell, it is too difficult to go up.

"Old lady, you are angry, for them, it's not worth it!" Ziling brought a bowl of tea over, and Mrs. Zeng took a sip of tea from Ziling's hand before saying, "All of them are like this, how does Madame manage the house?" ”

After speaking, Mrs. Zeng felt that it was wrong again, and added: "There are also good people, like you and Yanran, which are good!" Ziling said with a smile: "Madame's housekeeper, she must always use her familiar hands." These children, who have not experienced anything, are sometimes inevitable! ”

Old Madam Zeng snorted and said, "I remember that Qingdang is only one year younger than you, and you are going to get married after the New Year, and I originally wanted to keep her for a few more years." But the woman is not in the middle, wait a few days, pick someone to match her out! ”

These words quickly reached Qingdang's ears, Qingdang was still calculating, how to let Yanran also get involved in this matter, but who knew that when she heard Mrs. Zeng's words, her waist hurt even more. He said to the old woman who came to tell him: "The old lady really said that? I serve the old lady, what is not enough? ”

"Qingdang girl, it's not right for you to say this, the old lady personally chooses someone for you, how decent is this?"

Decent? These two words made Qing Deng smile coldly, it is only decent to serve by the old lady's side, and when you go out, you can match someone, nothing more than you can match a guy, twenty or thirty taels of silver a year, and you have to do all the work in the family by yourself, just this, in the eyes of others, you still marry a good person.

Qingdang clenched his hand into a fist and struggled to get up: "I want to go to see the old lady, let the old lady know that I ......"

"Miss Qingdang, you, don't go to see the old lady, the old lady said, sympathize with your hard service, let you lie down for two more days, and Ziling let the flowers take care of you. After the New Year, you can go up again. After saying that, the old woman asked the flowers to step forward.

Hua'er leaned in front of Qingdang with some cringe, seeing Hua'er, Qingdang's hateful teeth bited, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have fallen into this field, Qingdang gasped for breath before saying: "Why don't you hurry up and help me up, is your hand broken?" ”

Hua'er hurriedly stepped forward to help Qingdang, but before her hand touched Qingdang, Qingdang had already raised her hand and slapped Hua'er: "Little cheap goods with no eyes!" Although Mrs. Zeng spoke, Qingdang was still first-class at this time, and Hua'er didn't dare to reply, just sat there.

Qingdang slapped Hua'er, felt that the breath was even, lay back on the pillow, looked at the roof, and didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"Oh, that green bell is a big charcoal, I listened there for a while, and hit that little girl. Looking at the appearance of that little girl, it's strange and distressing! The old woman found Ziling, clapped her hands and feet and talked about Qingdang's behavior, Ziling hummed: "It's hard, there are hundreds of dollars here, you take it back and buy wine to eat!" ”

The old woman took the money, and her eyes were smiling: "I shouldn't have taken it, but if I didn't accept it, the girl couldn't get over it, so I left!" Seeing the woman leaving, Ziling sighed lightly, and then Yan Ran spoke: "How can this be so difficult?" ”

"This is a man, it's hard to say, it's easy to say, it depends on what you think? Speaking of which, Qingdang's idea is not bad, she will stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but she doesn't know that she has to leave a line in life. The people in this Hou Mansion come and go, up and down, there are always thousands, but Uncle Zheng can become the chief steward, it is not a fluke. For the sake of being a man! ”

Not only to be able to stand up, but also to be supported by the people below, but also to serve the masters well, without a little bit of means, where can you sit firmly in this position? If you really do everything, you will climb fast at the beginning, but then you don't know how many people will fall.

Yanran understands this truth, but in her heart, there is always something unlikely. Seeing the look on her face, Ziling put her shoulder around her: "After the New Year, I will go out, it is not difficult to serve the old lady, you will definitely do well." But remember, no matter when, you must remember your identity, in what capacity to do what is right for you, otherwise it is not right! ”

"Sister Ziling, thank you!" Yanran's words made Ziling smile: "I'm here, and I'm also a good relationship with you, although I hired outside, my father and mother said that I chose a good family for me, but who knows if it's true or not?" It will take some time to know. If there is a case, I can also pull the tiger skin banner! ”

To do this, it is necessary to befriend the people around Mrs. Zeng, Yanran looked at Ziling and smiled again: "I still want to thank you." Sister Ziling, I will remember what you said. Ziling smiled faintly again and did not speak, today is the twenty-ninth month of the month, Ming'er is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and after the first day of the new year, he will leave Mrs. Zeng and go to another road. It doesn't matter if this path is good or bad, but you can always have more choices for yourself in the future, right?

There was a missing bell in front of Mrs. Zeng, and it did not affect Mrs. Zeng's daily life. Early in the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mrs. Zeng changed into a phoenix crown and took her children and grandchildren to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. Mrs. Zeng went to worship her ancestors, and the rest of the people had to make some other preparations in the room. Yan Ran took someone to set things up there, and as soon as she put a pot of narcissus on the table, she felt that someone was looking at her.

Yanran looked up and saw Qingdang standing at the door supported by the flowers, looking at herself resentfully. Yan Ran hooked her lips and smiled: "Is Sister Qingdang better?" Qing Deng saw that these people were all doing things step by step under Yan Ran's command, and his heart couldn't help but be angry, these were all done by himself, not by Yan Ran.

Yanran, Zheng Yanran, Qingdang read the name, pushed the flower and staggered forward: "You, you won't be so lucky forever, I'm waiting, waiting for your end!" ”

"Sister Qingdang, what are you talking about, I don't understand? What good luck and what end? Yanran's answer angered Qingdang even more, especially the innocent look on her face, which made Qingdang grit her teeth: "Don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, you and Hua'er teamed up to deceive me, and the old lady was blinded by you?" However, paper can't hold the fire! ”

Yanran looked at the flowers, the tears that the flowers were already frightened were about to come out, and when she saw Yanran looking at herself, she waved her hand again and again: "Sister Yanran, you know, what Sister Qingdang said is wrong, I didn't partner with you!" ”

"Sister Qingdang, don't bite indiscriminately, Hua'er and Sister Yanran don't have much contact, where did the partnership lie to you? You, obviously, are self-inflicted! Guo'er couldn't help but speak, and Qingdang looked at her, eager to tear her up and eat her on the spot. Guo'er couldn't help but shrink her neck, but she still said stubbornly: "Sister Qingdang, think about it yourself, is this the reason?" You, since you are injured and have the old lady's orders, go back and continue to lie down, and come back when you are ready! ”
