Chapter 5 Turmoil in the hospital
Mo Ziyu returned to Qiushui Garden, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, five or six rough mothers-in-law and maidservants were drinking and playing money in the shade of the tree.
In addition to the two personal maids of Red Silk and Green Beauty, there are also five or six people who do rough work outside.
This Jiang Liu has no power, and he is not favored by the prince, and he has to go to the princess to fight the autumn breeze on weekdays, what reward is given to the people under this autumn water garden? The people who are assigned to this courtyard are all offended, and there is no future at all, so naturally they will not take this master who was born as a servant girl in their eyes.
Hong Xuan was not surprised by this situation, and when Lu Qiao passed by a few people, she amplified her voice and sneered: "I don't know if you have heard of it, Mama Liu was beaten by the princess for twenty boards, if you are interested, you can go and take a look!"
A twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman Guazi asked: "Lu Qiao, you are laughing, this Mama Liu is an old man in the palace, and she has always been close to the second lady, and no one can hit Mama Liu if this princess wants to hit her!"
Lu Qiao raised her chin slightly and snorted: "We just came back from the princess, can this matter be fake?"
"Then why was Mama Liu beaten?" another mother-in-law asked curiously, this Mama Liu has always been domineering, and now that she is unlucky, naturally some people want to see this excitement.
"Why was she beaten, don't you know? Mama Liu broke in with someone today, and you are watching the excitement outside!" Lu Qiao sneered.
"It's getting late, you should clean up. Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Although this Qiushui Garden is full of doors, no one comes to visit the door on weekdays, but in the end it is still the inner courtyard of the palace, you people are only afraid that it will be inappropriate!
"We only have a few dollars a month, and we don't have enough money to drink!" said a woman in her thirties who was a little obese, "The girl has taught us a lesson today, and the girl is afraid that she has forgotten her origin, and when she was a slave and maidservant, she was not less lazy and slippery and gossiped behind her back!
Another mother-in-law in her fifties said, "We've been in charge for a day, and we've only been playing for a while." Although we are subordinates of the palace, the girl can't ask us to work twelve hours a day, right? Even if it's a donkey, we have to rest and rest! The girl also came over from the subordinate, so she can't turn over and become the master now, so she won't treat us as human beings, right?"
"Okay, okay, let's not say a word!" "The girl doesn't mean that, you eat wine and drink, don't miss the right thing!" Lu Qiao, you serve the girl to rest!"
Lu Qiao wanted to say something, Mo Ziyu raised her hand, rushed a look, asked her not to bother anymore, and went back to the house together.
"What about the girl's momentum of scolding Mama Liu today?" Lu Qiao neatly cleaned up the inside of the house, "Why can't you do anything to them?" Why don't you tell the princess, the princess always has a way to clean them up!"
"Mama Liu is not from our yard, so she naturally needs the princess to administer justice. But those few are from our yard, if you can't even control the people in your own yard, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it?" Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, his eyes rolled, "I can't remember clearly, you tell me about the background of these people." ”
These subordinates are also lazy, and there are only two dishes of clear soup and little water for dinner, but Lu Qiao personally cooks and adds two dishes.
Hongxuan was boiling medicine on the side, fanning the fire while asking half-truthfully: "Don't you look down on girls on weekdays, why do you serve so hard today?"
Lu Qiao sighed: "Can't you see it? The prince has a heart for the girl, maybe the girl is going to turn over!"
"Speaking of which, don't you think the girl is a little different today?" Hongxuan dragged down, with a look of doubt on her face, and looked at the green pretty look with half-slanted eyes.
Lu Qiao put the food on the plate, took off her apron, glanced at Hongxuan, and said calmly: "What's the difference? Why didn't I see it? Who are we with the master? Sister Hongxuan, don't you say?"
Hongxuan smiled lightly and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much!"
Mo Ziyu had something to eat, and he was not angry. After dinner, he obediently drank the medicine sent by Hongxuan, but there was a light smile on the corner of his mouth, which was unpredictable.
In the evening, Qing Yue, the guard beside King Qi, personally sent a bottle of white jade paste.
This Qingyue is King Qi's henchman, unless the prince personally commands it, who would dare to drive him!
Could it be that Jiang Liu, this girl, made the prince fall in love?
The subordinates of Qiushuiyuan were puzzled because of Qingyue's brief arrival, and they had all kinds of thoughts.
Later, Mo Ziyu asked Lu Qiao to invite the oldest woman in Qiushui Garden.
"It's so late, why did the girl ask me to come?" Shen was about fifty years old, very thin, his eyes were not big, and he was shining.
"I heard that Mama Shen likes to eat wine, I don't have any good wine here, only this rice wine to entertain you, Mama wants to eat one?" Mo Ziyu arrived at half a bowl of rice wine and smiled slightly and invited Shen to sit down.
If Mo Ziyu asked her to come for the daytime, she would not be afraid, and she had already prepared a statement in her heart. Now she didn't mention the daytime, but was so polite that she didn't know what to do.
Shen Shi said with a dry smile: "The girl is polite, I am just a subordinate, I dare not eat the girl's wine!"
"Mama Shen is a cheerful person, and she has done things together in the past, why are you so restrained?" Mo Ziyu smiled lightly, "Sit down quickly, eat this wine first, is it not good for Mama to dislike my wine?"
Lu Qiao pressed Shen to sit down, stuffed the wine bowl into her hand, and said with a smile: "The girl let you eat, you just eat! When you are not allowed to eat wine, you eat secretly, and let you eat happily today, you are twisted!"
Shen took a sip, put down the wine bowl, and muttered: "The girl must not let me eat wine, if the girl has anything to say, just say it directly." ”
"Mama is a cheerful person, and she should also be a smart person. Mo Ziyu said, "You used to be in charge of the garden, you planted flowers better than others, and spent less money, but you were ostracized by others, and you came to my Qiushui Garden, which has no oil and water." As long as you are not stupid, you will know that my Qiushui Garden is the most unpromising, and you have also started to eat and drink and make money, and you will live a mixed life. ”
"Mama, don't be angry, listen to me. Mo Ziyu paused and hooked her lips slightly, "Mama has a son, and it's time to marry a daughter-in-law, Mama doesn't want to fight for another future for this son?"
"Did the girl get drunk and start talking nonsense?" Shen smiled coldly.
"I know that the prince doesn't like me, but I'm still young, will I stay in this Qiushui Garden for the rest of my life?" Mo Ziyu poured himself a bowl of wine, "If Mama is a smart person, since things are already like this, she should be a dead horse doctor and put her future on me." Today, Qing Yue sent ointment on the order of the prince, which shows that the prince is not ruthless to me!"
"You don't know yet, the girl saved the prince today, you should know that the prince is a precious son. Lu Qiao added on the side.
Shen thought for a while, drank the remaining rice wine in the bowl in one gulp, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "Since you have said this, the girl might as well make it clear!"
"I come from a humble background and don't have much knowledge. Lu Qiao and Hong Xuan are young and young, we lack a person in charge in this courtyard!" Mo Ziyu took Shen's hand and put a green jade bracelet on his wrist for her, "I can trust Mama's character, and I believe in Mama's ability, and I am afraid that I will have to worry about Mama more in the future affairs of this courtyard." ”
"Since the girl trusts me so much, I will do my best to take care of this courtyard for the girl!" Shen's eyes were firm, and his tone was very powerful, "In the future, I and the girl will be one, the girl's business is my business, if the girl can use my place, just command!"
After sending Shen away, Lu Qiao said sourly: "The girl is really generous today, you are reluctant to let us touch that bracelet on weekdays! I have been with you for half a year, and I can be regarded as doing my best, and I am also rewarded for a penny." ”
"The previous thing was that I couldn't live up to you. Mo Ziyu smiled faintly, "It's just a small favor to Mama Shen, didn't you say that my good days are coming? Then you have to look at the long term, just a bracelet, I will allow you today, and I will definitely give you a better one in the future." ”
Lu Qiao let out a smile: "The girl can't break her word!"
