Xie Shuning held the teacup in her hand for a moment, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The people in the house have almost been replaced." Zhuo's mother didn't dare to raise her head, and she spoke with heavy remorse.

Xie Shuning was a little uneasy when she heard this, recalling what she had heard and seen all the way after entering the mansion, and her eyes became solemn. She put the teacup to her lips, took a sip, moistened her throat and whispered, "Mom, get up and talk." ”

No matter what, the people in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion are still familiar to her.

Mother Zhuo's words should be exaggerated, otherwise, with her status in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, how could she stay in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion unharmed? It should have been replaced early. Xie Shuning is not here, Zhuo's mother has become the most powerful one in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, as the so-called thief captures the king first, is there a reason not to move her first?

Now that Zhuo's mother is safe, things have not yet reached the point of being out of control.

However, Xie Shuning thought through in her heart, but Zhuo's mother always refused to get up, only knelt in front of her, and said, "The slave maid has failed Miss's entrustment, and she has been derelict in her duties, and now she has no face to stand and talk to you anymore." ”

Xie Shuning put the tea cup on the table at hand, and simply left the carved soft chair of mahogany to help her personally.

Zhuo's mother was flattered and wanted to excuse herself, but seeing Xie Shuning's resolute expression, she had to follow her wishes and stood up from the ground, ashamed.

"After you and your wife followed your uncle to Mobei, the affairs in the house were as orderly as the previous wife's arrangement. But within a few days of the good days, it began to be chaotic. You know, Mama Jiang of the Jade Tea Courtyard went to Jiangnan with the fourth and fifth young masters, so some people below began to be restless. Zhuo's mother took a deep breath and tried to calm her excitement about seeing her master again. began to narrate, "Fortunately, the sixth master Ding is worried at home, although he doesn't know much, he also knows how to take care of it, and he doesn't let the people under him act recklessly." ”

When Xie Shuning heard this, she nodded, "That being the case, what happened to you?" ”

Zhuo's mother hesitated and said, "It's Aunt Dong." ”

As he spoke, a burst of birdsong suddenly sounded outside the window. Chirping, close to the ear. Quite noisy.

Xie Shuning swallowed the words that had come to her lips again, and instead instructed Mother Zhuo, "Ask someone to take a look, but where is the bird trapped." ”

Otherwise, how could it be called for a long time. Nor fly away.

But Zhuo's mother didn't move when she heard this, and turned her head to look out of the half-open screen window: "Miss." It was a bird that flew from Zuika-in. ”

"Zuika-in?" Xie Shuning was stunned. "Is it Minmin's bird? Why aren't you locked in a cage? ”

Mother Zhuo sighed and explained: "It is the bird that the sixth master entrusted the seventh master of the long house to buy, it is extremely intelligent, it is free-range during the day, and when the sun goes down, the bird will fly back to Ruixiangyuan by itself, and then lock the cage." ”

Xie Shuning sneered: "Her birds." What a deal about flying into my yard! You have someone go and catch that bird, and I'm going to see what it is. ”

"This ...... Isn't it inappropriate? Zhuo's mother didn't retreat directly according to her instructions this time, but asked in a low voice.

Xie Shuning sensed that something was wrong, "This bird can't be caught?" ”

"The birds were a couple. One male and one female. Earlier, the male only flew to Aunt Dong's yard and asked Aunt Dong to be caught, and accidentally died. Miss Nine was very sad when she found out and cried nonstop. The sixth master scolded Aunt Dong and took away Aunt Dong's housekeeper qualifications. ”

The birds outside seemed to be calling more and more arrogantly, and their voices were sharp and sharp.

"After we left home, it was Aunt Dong who was in the house?"

Mother Zhuo nodded when she heard this, and said, "Aunt Chen is not happy with the sixth master, and she has not changed much so far, but Aunt Dong is different. Before that incident happened last year, in a month, the sixth master had half of the time, and he rested in Aunt Dong's house. ”

This sounds a little awkward, Xie Shuning is still Xie Yuanmao's daughter in the end, and she doesn't want to listen to this.

However, Aunt Dong is young and beautiful, so of course it is easier to take advantage of the opportunity.

There is no doubt about this.

So she said, "Father took away her housekeeper qualification just because Aunt Dong accidentally killed Minmin's bird?" ”

Zhuo's mother responded: "Exactly." ”

Just because of such a thing, Aunt Dong, who had finally come out, was re-seized power, Xie Shuning pondered in her heart, and felt that this matter was unspeakably strange.

Could it be that in the father's heart, the daughter of the concubine has such a status?

She couldn't help but think of Mrs. Zhu, who had been sent by her father to the Hanging Flower Gate to greet them, so she asked Zhuo's mother.

Mother Zhuo looked disdainful and said hatefully: "That mother-in-law is the most vicious!" It was because of her that Aunt Dong was sent to Zhuangzi and died of illness within a few months. ”

"Aunt Winter is dead?" Xie Shuning was surprised, "You tell you everything you know." ”

As he spoke, the bird's cry outside the room became louder and louder, and with the sound of wings fluttering in the intervals, it had already flown under the eaves, poking half of its turquoise wings into the room.

Xie Shuning's heart was on fire, she laughed angrily, raised her voice to call "Turan" in, and ordered without thinking: "Go and catch that damn bird!" ”

Turan blinked, and in an instant he went down to catch the birds.

After a while, the bird was caught and locked in a cage, and a black cloth was covered with it to block the light.

The bird, sure enough, fell silent.

The maids and ladies in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were dumbfounded, and muttered about Tulan in private, saying that she looked at Mu stunned, she was so powerful and so agile. Since then, when I saw Turan, I couldn't help but have a little more respect, just like I saw Yuebai in the past.

But what happened to others, Turan didn't care at all.

She hung the birdcage in the shade, went to Xie Shuning, and then went to help Yu Ziliuhuang pack up the cage.

In the house, Zhuo's mother couldn't help but sigh, "This girl is so tall and tall!" ”

"I have a lot of strength, too." There was no noisy chirping in her ears, Xie Shuning's mood was much better, and she asked about Aunt Dong again.

Zhuo's mother said in detail -

After the male bird died, Aunt Dong was left out in the cold, and it didn't take long for her to have a bad idea to harm Xie Shumin.

But the matter did not work out, so Zhu Pozi reported it to Xie Yuanmao. Xie Yuanmao was furious when he found out, and let Aunt Dong beat her up. Although Xie Shumin is just a young lady from the concubine, she is also the daughter of the Xie family, with the blood of the Xie family in her body, not to mention that the people in the third room are not prosperous, and the daughter of the concubine is also expensive.

After Aunt Dong was beaten by the board, she had a high fever and talked nonsense that night.

I heard that in my dream, I was also pointing at Xie Shumin and scolding Xie Yuanmao.

In this way, it will really cause a big disaster.

Early the next morning, she was sent to Zhuangzi.

"Where's Zhuangzi?" Xie Shuning had a hint of ridicule in her eyes and groaned.

Zhuo's mother immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "It's a remote little village of the deceased old lady, not the Zhuangzi of Mrs. Pingjiao." ”

On the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Pingjiao, there are Yun Zhan's masters and apprentices, and Zhuo's mother knows it.

Xie Shuning bowed slightly, and her white hand bent her fingers on the table and knocked softly, "After that, Mrs. Zhu was mentioned to Ruixiang Courtyard to serve Miss Nine?" ”

Zhuo's mother said yes, and said: "Mrs. Zhu has gained power, and her courage has gradually grown. Fortunately, in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she has not yet succeeded. It's just that you and your wife are not at home, and we don't have a time when we can talk. ”

"Weird......" Xie Shuning shook his head, "Father treats Min Min as his heart." ”

Zhuo's mother thought that she didn't like her sister's favor, so she wanted to comfort her, but after thinking about it, isn't Xie Shumin Xie Yuanmao's heart now? There were no words at the moment.

After a while, Xie Shuning covered her mouth and yawned, her upper and lower eyelids fought, and said in an urn voice: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, and I can't figure it out for a while, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Zhuo's mother was shocked to realize that the girl in front of her was thin, her complexion was not very good-looking, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of fatigue.

She hurriedly asked people to send clean pajamas, pajamas and hot water.

The clothes are all half-old, and this year's spring shirt has not been made.

Xie Shuning glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

If she remembered correctly, when she saw Xie Shumin before, the clothes on her body were all new.

It is true that she is not in the house, she has not returned for a long time, her body has changed, and it is right not to make new clothes. But for some reason, she never felt good in her heart.

After washing away the tiredness and dust, she changed into a delicate and soft middle coat, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

It was a long sleep.

She fell asleep at dusk, and woke up in the middle of the night.

Hearing the movement, Yuzi, who was on duty at night, lit the lamp and approached, and asked, "Miss, I'm afraid I'm hungry, right?" There is still warm porridge in the stove, can the slave and maid bring it to you? ”

"Okay." Xie Shuning rubbed her eyes and responded with a smile.

Yuzi happily went down to serve porridge.

When the porridge was delivered, Xie Shuning tasted it and remembered something, so she asked, "Did Miss Nine send someone to look for birds?" ”

Yuzi was slightly stunned, "You haven't been asleep for long, and you've been here." Mother Zhuo returned to Ruixiangyuan with the cage and the bird according to your instructions. ”

"What's going on with Mrs. Zhu?" Xie Shuning took another sip of fragrant and glutinous porridge.

Seeing that she had even guessed who was asking for the bird, Yuzi couldn't help laughing, and said, "The slave maid saw it with her own eyes, and the three words of unhappiness were written on her head." ”

Xie Shuning also smiled, "Did Mother Zhuo do what I commanded?" ”

"I said it, I said that Miss likes to be pure, and she can't hear the birds, let Mrs. Zhu take care of it, and don't fly to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion again."

"You should be tougher, and you can save the nostrils of the villain." Xie Shuning pursed her lips and quickly used a small half bowl of porridge.

After eating, you have to eliminate it before you can fall asleep.

Xie Shuning was a little too lazy to move, so she just lay there and didn't want to move.

Yuzi whispered in her ear: "Mrs. came to see you when she was young, and specially told the slaves and maids that if you wake up at night and eat something, you must wait until you eat before you can fall asleep." ”

"Alas......" Xie Shuning was so read that she had no choice but to get up and walk around the house. (To be continued......)
