The two maids walked out of Yao Ruoshui's courtyard, and one of the maids asked suspiciously: "Sister, let's really go and report to Madame, how can we see the lady in the palace?" The maid looked at the hot potato in her hand, and just wanted to go in and return it to Yao Ruoshui.

The other shrewd saw that she was so stupid, and he wanted to knock her head open to see what was inside, and scolded in a low voice: "We can't see the nobles in the palace, and besides, the master has given a death order, do you want us both to lose their lives?" As for this thing, it was given to us by Madame on her own initiative, so you can just take it. ”

The honest maid was a little uneasy, and shrewdly saw her like this, and snatched the bracelet in her hand, "I'll keep it for you for the time being, anyway, you don't have the heart to take it now." After saying that, he hummed a song and went to his room.

Two days later, Yao Ruoshui waited hard and still didn't see the two maids coming, and asked the other cleaning maids, but they didn't know anything, she scolded angrily: "Two little sluts, they dare to lie to me." ”

Seeing that she was so persistent, Mama Ping had to sigh and dodge, saving Yao Ruoshui from spreading her anger on her head, Yao Ruoshui was unwilling, and was ready to buy off the guards guarding the door, but unfortunately the guards ignored her, Yao Ruoshui lost several times in a row, and every day she shouted that Su Baizhi would come to save her, and she gradually lost a lot of weight.

The more the day went back, the less and less time in the day, Su Liluo rubbed his hands and asked Mama Chang next to him, "Mama, why do I feel that this day is colder than in previous years?" ”

"The slave also thinks that in previous years, she was not even willing to go out of the door, and when the young lady wants to go out, add more clothes to save the cold." Mama Chang looked at the dim sky outside, and only felt that there were shareholders blocking the west of people's hearts, which made people very uncomfortable.

"Got it, it seems that I have to make some preparations, Liuzhu, go to the third aunt and have a look." Su Liluo's house was warm, she bought silver charcoal with her own silver, and even the slaves and maids with Liuzhu also shared some, and the previous charcoal was given to the most inferior cleaning maids and slaves, but the slaves and maids in Su Liluo's yard enjoyed the most happiness.

"The slave obeys, miss, do you want to bring a message to your aunt?" Liuzhu asked playfully, after the third aunt took care of the house, she would send some small things to Su Liluo from time to time, which made people feel very ironed.

"No, you go and see, if there is anything, just come back to me directly." Su Liluo was inserting a pearl eight-treasure hairpin from Liuying, and nodded two lipsticks on the noodles, taking advantage of Su Liluo's beauty to be more beautiful than flowers.

Liuzhu retreated in response, and Mama Chang brought a bowl of ginger tea, stuffed it in Su Liluo's hand and said: "This is specially boiled by the slave maid, Miss drink some quickly to warm up." ”

Before the bowl was brought closer, the choking ginger smell had already hit his face, Su Liluo coughed lightly, and asked pitifully, "Mama, can you not drink it?" It's so unpleasant to smell. ”

"No, if the young lady will go out later, you can ask someone to prepare more clothes." He turned his head to look at the Liuying and them, and said with a straight face: "You have to drink too, I specially asked the people in the kitchen to prepare some more, and everyone has to drink a bowl." ”

Liuying suddenly had a bitter face, looked at Su Liluo and smiled, the two of them immediately pinched their noses, poured it down, and then stuck out their tongues and said, "It's so spicy, it's so spicy." ”

"It's good to be spicy, so that you can warm up, okay, I still have a bowl for Liuzhu, I'll go and send it to Tsing Yi first." Mama Chang walked out with the bowl, Su Liluo was so spicy that her face was flushed, and after a while, she asked innocently: "Mama won't give us this thing to drink every day, right?" ”

"The slave guesses that she can't hide, so the young lady still hurries up to find a way." Liuying only felt that her mouth and stomach were full of ginger flavor, and tears were choked out of the corners of her eyes, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Alas, bear with me, Mama is also for our good." Su Liluo had no choice but to comfort softly.

Liuying wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then wiped Su Liluo, the master and servant smiled, and they were busy with what they had done before.

The third aunt was looking at the account book in her hand with a worried face, and the bookkeeper had another person, and she asked: "Sir, there is still money in the account to buy charcoal, and if it goes on like this, the house will not be able to support it." ”

"Third aunt, the slave has already awarded the silver money into two petals, and there is really no way." The third aunt had to sigh and let the slave send him out, and the bookkeeper hurriedly ran away, as if some beast was chasing him behind.

happened to come over, and when she saw that the third aunt was worried, she asked again and again, "Auntie, what's wrong?" But what's on your mind? The young lady specially asked the slave maid to come and see if the aunt had anything to help with. ”

"Thank you so much for the eldest lady's concern, she can't be busy with the affairs in her own courtyard, and she still remembers my little thing, I'm ashamed to say it, there is really a matter that bothers the eldest lady, I'm afraid you can't tell it when you go back, I'll go with you." The third aunt's face was a little red, afraid of Liuzhu's jokes, Liuzhu hurriedly flashed to the side and responded happily; "Okay, Miss hasn't seen my aunt for a few days, so it's just right now, I can talk to my aunt more."

Liuzhu led the third aunt to Su Liluo's courtyard, and the slaves and maids waited on the side to block the cold wind for the third aunt.

Su Liluo saw Liuzhu's peach-colored clothes from a distance, and saw a few people behind him, because the color of the clothes was not brilliant, he asked with some doubts: "Who did Liuzhu bring here?" ”

"The slave looks like a third aunt." Liuying squinted her eyes, and after a while, people came closer, and the third aunt saw Su Liluo standing under the porch, and immediately asked worriedly: "Why is the eldest lady standing here blowing the cold wind, don't freeze your body." ”

"Auntie, I'm fine, don't worry, such a little wind won't freeze the bad guys." Su Liluo's cheeks were red, and when he saw that the third aunt had been holding her hands, he hurriedly invited her in.

The room was as warm as spring, the two of them took off the brocade cloak on their bodies, and then let the maid serve two cups of hot tea, holding the warm hands, Su Liluo asked in surprise: "Why did my aunt come here at this time?" ”

"Miss, let's be honest, the money in the house is in short supply, and now there is no silver to buy charcoal for the winter, there are so many people in the house, I really have no choice but to come to the eldest lady to get an idea, what should I do?" The third aunt was a little ashamed, and now the last hope is in Su Liluo, she has been in charge of this family for the past few days, only working harder than in the past, and she has not even slept at night.

"Auntie don't worry, the matter of silver is easy to solve, if it is others, I'm afraid I can't help my aunt, if you say silver, if there is any shortage, tell me, I will try my best to be satisfied if I can help." Su Liluo didn't talk too much, and the third aunt was also a self-aware person, which was why she fell in love with her in the first place.

"Don't worry, the eldest lady will wait for the rent in the fields in the house to be handed over after the year, and the silver money will be more generous, but this year's winter clothes for the slaves and maids are afraid that they will not be able to do it, and even our own will not be more generous than in previous years, and I hope the eldest lady will forgive me." The third aunt also knew that this was not good, but the lack of money was a headache, and seeing that Su Liluo was silent, she bit her lip tightly and did not continue.

"Auntie, winter clothes still have to be made, this year seems to be colder than in previous years, if you don't make new clothes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive this winter, this silver will come out of me, auntie don't have to worry about it." Su Liluo didn't mind letting the third aunt be this good person, as long as she wasn't Yao Ruoshui's housekeeper, she was willing to contribute money and efforts.

"Thank you, Miss, you are really merciful." The third aunt cried with joy, and said good things vigorously, Chun'er handed over the handkerchief, and the third aunt gently wiped her tears, and then said embarrassedly: "Let the eldest lady smile." ”
