offended the eldest lady, and quarreled with the uncle, and the subordinates whispered behind their backs that the fifth girl was afraid that she would fall out of favor from now on.

is a concubine, and there is no mother, if you make trouble like this again, you can have a better life in the future.

The wind direction in the house is changing very fast, but in a few days, the people who serve in the courtyard gradually become careless, and the night vigil is always lazy, or three or five get together to play cards and gamble, so that they can do things as if they are instructing the uncle, and the mouth should not move on the feet, and the fragrance of the water is fragrant and scolding every day.

"I asked you to ask for some new tea before, but now I haven't even seen a tea foam, what do you eat every day, you can't do this thing. ”

Qing Huan stood in the courtyard, pointing to a girl who was boiling water and reprimanded.

The girl slapped the hand of the fan, and her sharp voice did not give in at all, "Sister Qinghuan said it easily, you didn't see the faces of those people, as if you wanted something to raid their house, how could it be so good." Besides, the master's birthday is approaching, and the whole house is busy with all fours, who has the kung fu to take care of this little thing. I think the girl will deal with the old tea of the previous years first, and then talk about it after being busy for a while. ”

Qing Huan heard her words, and her face was red and her neck was thick, "Okay, even your hooves are not restless, and you will push back and hold back if you are asked to do something, I don't care about other people's faces, you are lazy, and you don't even want to walk a few steps." ”

"If my sister thinks I'm lazy and wants to go by myself, you have a lot more face than me. The girl fanned a few times, and the fire under the stove burned even more vigorously.

"You-" Qing Huan knotted.

Shui Xiang heard the dispute and came out, pressed Qinghuan's shoulder, and said to the girl: "We have done everything, why do you keep you, raise you like a pig, and wait for the day to make three animal sacrifices?"

Still Shui Xiang spoke vigorously, Qing Huan looked at her with adoring eyes, and then glared at the girl, "Boil water well, this can't be done, you don't have to stay in Xiyan Pavilion when you catch up." ”

The girl pouted and muttered that she didn't know what to say, but it happened that the little maids retrieved dinner, and Qinghuan and Shui Xiang followed into the house to serve the lady's meal.

As soon as the meal was set, everyone's faces changed.

Huafu's meals have a fixed number, like Huajintang Ji's family, each meal is eight dishes and two soups, and the boy and girl are halved, it is four dishes and one soup, and the meat and vegetables are matched.

Originally, the meals delivered to Xiyan Pavilion these days were not as rich as each day, but today they sent two plates of light vegetarian dishes that could no longer be light to fool.

The little maid who went to get the meal pursed her lips and lowered her head, and whispered: "The person in charge of the kitchen said that the girl is injured and can't touch the meat, and the diet should be lighter." ”

Qing Huan was furious when she heard this, "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the kitchen are simply too deceitful, and they actually took these green vegetables and tofu to the girl, I will go to them now, I have to make a mess." As she spoke, she put the dishes back in the food box, she thought about it, and when she went to the kitchen, she would take the dishes and slap those people's faces, and everyone would not be happy.

Jiao Niang sat on the edge of the bed and embroidered a purse for Brother An, just the last stitch, bit the thread, and said: "Put it there first, I just don't have much appetite, just eat two bites at will." ”

She didn't look angry at all, she was as plain as water.

Shui Xiang couldn't help but beak, "The girl is going to endure it like this? If those villains don't squeak when they see you, they don't know what they will send next time." ”

"That's it!" Qing Huan was indignant.

Shui Xiang waved her hand to let the little maid out, "Although it is not decent to make trouble, there must be a movement to let people know that there is such a thing, otherwise it will be quiet, but it will fuel their arrogance." ”

Jiao Niang smiled lightly and said: "This kind of worship is too common, and it can cure the symptoms but not the root cause of it." Qinghuan, aren't you befriending the daughter of a cook in the kitchen?"

"Yes, Cai's sister-in-law's daughter Vanilla, their family is from the same village as ours. ”

"After a while, you take two pieces of money, and whatever we want to eat in the future, we can take another money bill. ”

Qinghuan Shuixiang looked at each other, and sighed in unison, "It's the only way to do it first." ”

In the evening, Qinghuan took the money and went to the kitchen, and Cai's sister-in-law was eating under the stove, and when she saw her coming, she quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks. She is not bad, Qing Huan gave her money, she didn't want it at first, and then Qing Huan gave her a dead piston to accept it, and promised that if the five girls wanted to eat anything in the future, they would call someone over and say, she would make another stove.

Qing Huan took another bag of snacks from Liuxiangzhai bought from outside and gave it to Vanilla, and the two little sisters talked privately for a long time, and they didn't go back until late at night.

chatted too much, almost forgot the time, Qing Huan hurried to the backyard, fortunately the people who watched the corner door played cards together, forgot to latch the door, she was not locked out.

Entering the corner gate is the back garden, at this time in the dead of night, she is alone, and she does not take a lantern to illuminate, it is dark everywhere, she can't help but be a little scared, and she can't help but speed up her steps.

Qing Huan usually thinks she is a bold person, but there is only one thing, that is, she is afraid of ghosts, and she loves to scare herself. always felt that there was a ghost following her, and then she ran wildly all the way.

She ran so fast that she couldn't see the road clearly, and she didn't know when a stone came out of the road, and she just happened to hit it and tripped over, so much so that she hugged her feet and screamed in pain.

As soon as she got up, she suddenly heard a different sound behind the rockery, like a ghost gasping for breath, accompanied by whimpering, her heart jumped, and her hair stood on end with fright.

"Who?" Qing Huan deliberately emboldened himself and questioned loudly, but the tone trembled, and the tail note turned to the sky.

This shout, the voice was gone, and she was even more afraid, but thinking that the girl had said, in fact, ghosts were more afraid of people, so she became bold, "I tell you, I am not afraid of you, I don't do anything bad in my life, I don't know which way you knock on the door in the middle of the night, I don't care which way you are, either leave quickly, or hurry up!"

I only heard a sound of rustling, and then a black shadow came out of the rockery, Qing Huan squinted his eyes and looked at the pair of men and women who came out, and then distinguished and distinguished, and recognized that the woman was actually a red apricot waiting beside the eldest lady.

Thinking about it again, I don't understand what I heard just now.

Qing Huan's red face could not be seen in the dark, and she was embarrassed: "You guys...... How can you do such a thing here?"

Hong Xing's pale face couldn't cover the corners of her eyes, she bit her lip, knelt down at Qinghuan's feet, and said with tears: "I beg my sister not to make a noise, if someone knows about the two of us, I will be taken by the eldest lady to fill the well." ”

A few years ago, there was a caring maid next to the eldest lady, and she was bumped into by the little maid. Ji was afraid that he had lost her face and ruined her reputation, so he ordered someone to throw her into the well. Later, he only said that the maid stole something and was caught, and she was afraid of being kicked out, so she couldn't think of committing suicide by throwing herself into the well for a while.

If the eldest lady knew about her, it would definitely end the same.
