Catching a glimpse of the eldest princess pinching her eyebrows tiredly, Xu Jiayi saw this, got up and thanked the eldest princess, and after saying a few more words, she said goodbye and left.

Mama Luo personally sent Xu Jiayi to the gate of the courtyard, and only after seeing her go away did she turn around and go back to the eldest princess to serve. The eldest princess watched her come in, drank two sips of water to moisten her throat, and then put down the teacup and asked aloud, "Mama, is there too much to talk about in this palace today?" ”

She was a little annoyed that she had just said too much, but for some reason, she couldn't help but soften when she looked at Xu Jiayi's misty eyes staring at her, and wanted to say more, and only at the end did she realize that she had said too much, and there were many things that were not suitable for her as an eldest princess.

Mama Luo has been serving the eldest princess for most of her life, so she can naturally guess a little bit about the eldest princess's thoughts, and she can guess from her expression combined with the situation just now, so she directly persuaded her, "Princess, don't worry, Miss Xu is a girl with a clear mind." ”

Mama Luo's words were not finished, but the eldest princess already understood what she meant. Since she is a transparent girl, she naturally knows what to say and what not to say, even if she really said something inappropriate today, Xu Jiayi naturally didn't dare to spread it.

She naturally knew this, if it weren't for that, even if she couldn't help it, she would never say so much in front of her. However, to the surprise of the eldest princess, there was another thing, she raised her eyebrows slightly and was a little surprised, "I didn't expect Mama to speak so highly of her." ”

"What kind of evaluation, the eldest princess will make fun of the slave maid, but it's just my humble opinion as an old woman."

Mama Luo thought for a while, and after seeing that the eldest princess smiled in response, the look on her face was still a little unsightly, so she thought about it and replied, "Although the slave maid has not said a few words to Miss Xu, the slave maid has seen Miss Xu many times, and her character slave and maid look at it is not bad." What's more, the old lady in the Anping Marquis Mansion is pure and easy to get along with, even if you go to the border, you may not be wronged, princess, don't blame yourself too much. ”

Mama Luo only said the old lady of the Anping Hou Mansion, but she didn't mention the old lady Chu, not because she forgot, but in fact, the old lady Chu was that character, she really couldn't say a word with her conscience that she was easy to get along with.

"You have always looked at people's eyes with viciousness, and when you never look away, there are few people who can match your eyes." The eldest princess laughed. You must know that Mama Luo is the most strict, that is, even the county lord did not dare to be presumptuous when he saw her when he was a child, if he got a compliment from Mama Luo, he could be happy all day.

I didn't expect to hear praise for other girls from her mouth today. The eldest princess secretly sighed in her heart, "That's it, Mama, you took the key and went to open the warehouse, pick two suitable ones from it and send them to Xu Jiayi." ”

There are Zhao and Qian in the dowry, Xu Jiayi can naturally steal this lazy, but the pillowcases and handkerchiefs to be embroidered before the marriage cannot be faked by others, so Xu Jiayi can only hurry up and do it slowly, and it is necessary to let Xiangqiao and them help with the needle and thread next to them.

Xiangqiao, Cuiyun, and Yuanxiang have not eaten well or slept well these days, worrying about Xu Jiayi with sad faces all day long, and even sometimes standing behind Xu Jiayi, looking at Xu Jiayi, they couldn't help but redden, and secretly wiped their tears, but they always hid the expression on their faces at the moment Xu Jiayi looked at the past, and pulled out a smile.

met such a few maids, Xu Jiayi couldn't cry or laugh.

To be honest, she didn't have the slightest confidence in this family affair, especially the word "border pass", she had never heard of it, and she didn't expect that she would go there one day. But she doesn't like the behavior of the big families in Yanjing City very much, I don't know if it will be better after going to the border pass?

Three days before getting married, Xu Jiayi had already sorted out her thoughts extremely calmly.

Due to the urgency of time, Xu Jiayi can only make a complete set of brocade quilts and pillowcases first, even so, they were driven out with the help of Xiangqiao, Cuiyun, and Yuanxiang, only the red hijab of the mandarin duck playing in the water was all embroidered by Xu Jiayi herself. Fortunately, Cui Xin is also a clever person, and she comes over to accompany Xu Jiayi every day, embroidering some handkerchiefs for Xu Jiayi on the side, plus some handkerchiefs that Xu Jiayi made when she had nothing to do before, the amount of dowry should be enough.

Otherwise, Xu Jiayi felt that even if she didn't sleep for ten days, she wouldn't be able to finish these things.

After embroidering the last embroidered pillow pillowcase, Xu Jiayi picked it up and glanced at the light, and saw that there was nothing missing or still needed to be modified, and after receiving the needle, she cut off the excess thread, and while reaching out to touch the embroidered pattern, she asked Xiangqiao to call all the maids and women in the yard over, she had something to explain.

Cui Xin naturally knew what Xu Jiayi wanted to say, so she was embarrassed to stay, got up and said that she would come back with the maid on the next day. Xu Jiayi couldn't keep her, so she asked Yuanxiang to send Cui Xin out of the yard.

After a while, the maids and maids in Jiaxi Garden had already gathered in the courtyard, and the slaves standing at the bottom whispered something to each other, while looking at Xu Jiayi's expression without a trace, speculating what Xu Jiayi would say later.

Although Jiaxi Garden is not large, there are twenty or thirty maids up and down. Except for Cuiyun and Yuanxiang, who often serve her closely, she doesn't have much contact with other people. Xu Jiayi pursed her lips and glanced at the crowd without saying a word, and the crowd that was swept by her eyes instantly quieted down, and everyone stood down with low eyebrows, and no one dared to make any more noise.

Seeing that it was quiet, Xu Jiayi raised her voice and said, "You all grew up serving me, and you also know that I will marry at the border in a few days." This trip has a long way to go, and it is difficult to return to it. If you don't want to go with me, I won't force you, I will go and explain to my aunt that you should stay in the house and serve in other courtyards. ”

"On that day, if you have other ideas and want to get back the deed of sale and leave the mansion, even if you say that you have served me with all your heart and soul for so long, I will not embarrass you, and I will naturally plan for you." Xu Jiayi's crisp voice seemed to speak to everyone's hearts, and everyone looked at Xu Jiayi with wide eyes and disbelief, they didn't expect her to say such a thing.

Many of them are born to families and have signed death deeds, and now they are willing to let them out of the house?!

They thought that even if the girl left, they would bring some maids with them, but there were many servants in the Jiaxi Garden, and there were always people who could not marry with them.

If the people who are left behind are lucky enough to be assigned to other rooms to do things, the unlucky ones will be sold to the tooth woman, so during this time, they are anxious to do things as much as possible without making mistakes, for fear that they will be sold if they are caught in the wrong place, but I didn't expect the girl to be willing to let them out of the house.

As soon as Xu Jiayi's words fell, Xiangqiao's eyes were slightly red when she heard it, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Girl, the slave is willing to go to the border with you." Wherever the girl goes, the slave and maid go. ”

"Slaves too." Cuiyun and Yuanxiang also hurriedly expressed their position.

Xu Jiayi knew the loyalty of several of them, and was not surprised by their decision at all, hooked the corners of her lips and smiled at them, and then fell her eyes on the remaining bunch of maids.

Seeing that the maids and women below were all looking at each other in disbelief, Xu Jiayi didn't say much, and added, "Don't be in a hurry to make a decision now, you can think about it today, just talk to Sister Xiangqiao if you have any ideas." ”

After saying this, Xu Jiayi let Cuiyun and Yuanxiang help them into the inner room, afraid that they would not be able to let go of these people sitting there.

As soon as Xu Jiayi left, many people gathered around Xiangqiao, "Sister Xiangqiao, is the girl really willing to let us out of the house?" Are you willing to return the deed of sale to us? ”

"Naturally, it's true, didn't you hear what the girl just said?" Xiangqiao nodded in response, opened the box in his arms, revealing a stack of deed of sale inside, "If you want to leave, come to me to say something, take the deed of sale and then go to the housekeeper to get the monthly money." ”

The deed of sale of the maid in Jiaxi Garden was not kept in his hands, and he had already handed it over to Xu Jiayi for safekeeping, after all, it was the maid in Xu Jiayi's yard, and these slaves had to know who the real master was. This is true not only in Jiaxi Garden, but also in other courtyards. So when Xiangqiao took out their deed of sale, everyone was not surprised.

In a group of people, some people frowned and thought for a while, went to Xiangqiao's side to get the deed of sale, and then kowtowed to Xu Jiayi three times in the courtyard. There are also some people who glanced at Xiangqiao, who was surrounded by people, and silently turned around and left to go back to their original posts to do things, although they did not say it explicitly, but their choice was self-evident.

When the group of people who decided to leave found the butler with the deed of sale, the butler was still a little unresponsive. After asking them about the specific situation, he understood a little, so he asked them to wait for a while, and he went to report to the eldest lady.

Everyone who got this was panicked, this matter was a decision made by the girl in private, what if the eldest lady refused to let them go? The more these people think about it, the more they feel that there is such a possibility, thinking that they can't go, and they can't help but feel a little flustered.

After the housekeeper anxiously asked to see Zhao, he directly told Zhao about Xu Jiayi's decision, and said that now the maids are waiting outside, and he wants Zhao to give him an idea. After listening to the cause and effect, instead of feeling anxious, Zhao laughed out loud and said directly, "Just do what the girl said." ”

"Big lady......" The housekeeper wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Shi waving his hand, so he could only retreat in response, and caught a glimpse of the group of people staring at him with bright eyes outside, and said loudly, "You come with me to get this month's monthly money first, and then go out of the house." ”

After these words, everyone's hearts finally settled down.
