Therefore.

Chen Xi first guessed that the eldest lady was more, after all, she was the housewife and easy to start, as long as the old lady was coaxed, this little kid with no father, no mother and no reputation was not allowed to be bullied and angry?

She guessed in her head, and she didn't stop, and quickly pushed open the kitchen door to look inside, only to see that there were three large stoves inside, and several small tandoors.

The food is not in stock at all.

Chen Xi went inside and rummaged through, but there was only a small half bag of coarse grain powder that was difficult to swallow.

It's a shocking situation.

She didn't even know how the third young master and his nurse survived.

Chen Xi closed the door heavily.

Right now.

There was a sudden movement nearby, and although it was not large, it was particularly noticeable in the quiet courtyard.

It was like a low exclamation.

Chen Xi was on guard, and she looked around vigilantly, guessing who it was.

To know.

There should be no one here.

Chen Xi tiptoed to the door of the firewood room and picked up a firewood stick in his hand.

Then he followed the sound and chased after it.

When she saw a trail, she followed it and turned a few corners to find that...

A small package was thrown in.

Chen Xi fixed his eyes to observe and found that this side should have been a courtyard gate as well.

It should be able to lead to other courtyards, but because the east courtyard is to be isolated, they are now stacked with large stones, and you can only see a figure over there through the cracks in the stones.

"Somebody there!"

Chen Xi preemptively scolded, she knew that the people over there should not be bad.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to deliver something.

"Magpie girl?"

There was also a familiar voice from the other side of the stone wall, but it was hoarse.

Isn't it Mrs. Zhang?

Chen Xi was suddenly surprised and said, "Granny Zhang? It's you? How did you end up here? ”

Mrs. Zhang was excited when she saw someone coming, and hurriedly slapped the wall and stomped her feet and shouted: "It's me, it's me!" ”

Chen Xi saw that it was her, and he relaxed and walked over quickly, but he saw that Mrs. Zhang's still black hair was actually gray along the crack in the stone?

It's only been a day since the separation, why do you think it's been so long?

There's so much going on.

Chen Xi was very embarrassed.

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

It took a while to recover.

Chen Xi asked suspiciously, "Granny Zhang, do you know that we were chosen here to send us things?" Still is... You've been here to visit your deceased before? ”

Chen Xi was calm.

With their friendship, she wouldn't risk coming over to deliver something, would she?

If it weren't for them, then there would only be the poor one who was still asleep.

Chen Xi suddenly remembered that Mrs. Zhang always said that she liked dim sum and those foods on weekdays, but she had never seen her eat in person, so she was wrapped up and put away.

Maybe they'll fill it up here,

She was dumbfounded.

Faithful.

Over there is a stone wall.

Mrs. Zhang grabbed the stone tightly, choked up and said: "Girl, if I should have coaxed you to be happy, I should have said that I came for you, but I don't want to lie to you, girl, you are a smart person..."

She said as she wiped her tears.

Again.

"Old woman, I came here for the third young master, six years ago, I came over to take a peek, but I found that the dog slave here dared to deduct the third young master's food and daily necessities.

I inquired about this, and it turned out that these people really took the things of the third young master and traded with Mrs. Du in the big kitchen, and relied on her to sell them for money when she went out to buy meat and vegetables. ”

Mrs. Zhang trembled with anger when she talked about this, and gritted her teeth to squeeze out the words.

"Those good fabrics, high-quality cotton, and good knick-knacks were all sold by them, and the third young master's share of the fine grain was also eaten into the dog's stomach by that group of people, and they dared to exchange their rations for the third young master, how could he make him eat that kind of rough mouth."

Mrs. Zhang said angrily and hatefully, slammed the stone wall twice, and cried with tears in her eyes: "The third young master is miserable, I see that he is having a hard time, and he has to come over every three or five times." ”

It's a pity that she is a rough old woman, and she can't get much things, so she can only ask for some rewards from various big girls and little girls and send the good ones over.

Mrs. Zhang was about to cry blind, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she felt that God was not long-sighted.

sigh that good people don't live long.

Chen Xi was silent for a long time before he said, "Then why don't you report it?" ”

Mrs. Zhang hated, she cried: "If I have the appearance and identity of the girl, but as long as I can get close to the old lady, I have to kneel down to keep it, even if I risk my life, I have to tell the old lady about it, but I can't." ”

Mother-in-law like her, usually the most seen are the maids of all courtyards.

It's rare to even bring a grandmother, let alone meet the masters.

The grandmothers and the big maids are also worried that their rough subordinates will disturb the master.

How could they see it.

Rash escalation.

If there's a good one.

She's going to have to get in herself.

In that case, the third young master would have to have one less person to rely on.

Only then did not dare to act rashly.

Mrs. Zhang cried again: "Now only the old lady is really concerned about the third young master, I don't believe that the eldest lady doesn't know about it, although she can't take care of all the things in this mansion, but the affairs of the East Courtyard must not be hidden from her." ”

That one is smart, and he should be taboo against the third young master in his heart, so he thinks of a way to toss people.

Chen Xilian asked Mrs. Zhang three times with this time, the first time she only said a rough idea, and the second time because the nurse was gone, she lost control and confided in some details.

This third time is now, she has stopped hiding from her and told her everything.

Mrs. Zhang said that she had indeed worked under the second wife in the past.

She sold herself cheaply through connections, and she was no longer young when she entered the house.

At that time, the second lady had only entered the door not long ago, and the old lady had already let her take charge of the house.

Everyone in the house said that the second grandmother was ruthless and had no mercy for her subordinates.

She also has a lot of rules and cumbersome, and the subordinates who punish the wrong ones are also very heavy-handed.

Mrs. Zhang secretly scolded her at first.

As a result.

Later, after Mrs. Zhang was isolated because of some things and was beaten and bullied by other maids, she was rescued by the second wife and asked a doctor to treat her.

If not.

Mrs. Zhang will not just be slightly lame now.

"At that time, everyone said that the second wife was a wicked person, and she was not sympathetic at all, but no one said that she was upright, and the rewards and punishments were clear, although she treated people harshly, but she was very good at treating her subordinates, when she was in charge, if the rough maid in the house was sick, it was all possible to ask the doctor to heal, and only the second wife in this house really regarded us slaves as people..."

It's not that low-level minions don't care when they're sick, and when they die, they throw straw mats and mass graves.

"Those who say bad things about the second wife are because the second wife thinks that the cost of the house is too great, so they implement the behavior of not being too wasteful, and reduce all kinds of expenses, but they don't know that they offend those minions who are looking forward to picking up the leak!"
