Mama Li sneered: "It was also more than a month before I heard what people said." You know, some people like to chew on the root of their tongue. Sometimes things that don't have a shadow are passed around, but they seem to be real. ”

Wei glanced at Mama Li and did not speak.

Zhao Rurui also knew that her marriage was in the hands of her mother-in-law, and she often came to curry favor with Wei. But Wei is a stinky temper, even Zhao Yuanliang doesn't give a good face, let alone Zhao Rurui, a concubine.

So Zhao Rurui turned around and went to please Mama Li, gave her some gifts from time to time, and took special care of Mama Li's granddaughter. In the past two years, the water grinding kung fu has also been effective, and from time to time, Mama Li will help her speak in front of Wei.

"How is the relationship between the fourth girl and the fifth girl?" Wei asked.

"When the fifth girl first returned home, the fourth girl probably thought that they were all girls in the second room, and they intended to make friends with the fifth girl, but the fifth girl didn't care about anyone." Mama Li said.

Wei nodded. She knew that.

She thought for a moment and said, "Ming'er will take a look at the situation on the master's side first." ”

If she could persuade Xu Xi to go back to the Wei Mansion with her obediently, she wouldn't use other tricks.

……

Zhao Yuanliang felt pity for Xu Xi's daughter, and he also had a bit of a father's consciousness, and he felt that if they continued to stalemate with each other like this, it would make people laugh. So on the second day, he deliberately came back from outside the house before the evening and waited in a pavilion where Xu Xi passed from the front yard to the Hanging Flower Gate.

Xu Xi lives in the inner courtyard, goes out to school early in the morning, and only comes back in the evening. Zhao Yuanliang is a big man, it is not good to walk around in the inner courtyard outside the second room, so he can only stop her on the way out of school to talk.

"Wait at the gate, and come to me immediately when you see the fifth girl coming back." He commanded the servant.

It's the end of summer, and it's cool in the gazebo. I asked my subordinates to make tea, and I ate it with snacks, and it was not difficult to wait for someone.

But after drinking two pots of tea, Zhao Ruyu has already been back for a long time, and the little guy who went to wait for Xu Xi still hasn't come back.

He instructed another servant, "Go and see." ”

Before the little servant got up, he said again: "Ask the concierge again, when did the fifth girl come back in the past." ”

In fact, the little guy inquired in the morning, Xu Xi was Zhao Ruyu came home not long after he came back, but yesterday it was two quarters of an hour later than usual. In order to be safe, Zhao Yuanliang specially came over to wait when Zhao Ruyu came back. But Xu Xi didn't come back at this time, and he suspected that the little guy had inquired at the wrong time.

The little girl went to the gate, and after a while came back and said, "The fifth girl really didn't come back. The villain asked the porter, and the porter said that the fifth girl had returned half an hour later than usual. ”

Zhao Yuanliang immediately frowned, dissatisfied with the old lady and the eldest lady.

Xu Xi didn't come back so late, it was half an hour later than before, and as a result, no one from the old lady and the eldest lady sent someone to ask, this is too irresponsible, right?

But with this thought, he was deflated.

What position does he have to blame the old lady and the big lady?

Xu Xi is the person in their second room, and the Wei family himself doesn't care about his daughter's whereabouts, who else in this mansion cares about Xu Xi? The old lady and the eldest lady have never asked much about the second and third rooms. The affairs of the two-room courtyard are handled by the lord and lady of the two-room courtyard themselves.

Even if Xu Xi lives in Pinmingju, he can't be regarded as a big house or an old lady. Wei doesn't care, the old lady and the eldest lady don't care, I don't know what kind of life this child is living.

Zhao Yuanliang usually doesn't have much sense of responsibility, and he is too lazy to take care of the affairs of the house, so he can get by. The only idea is to find a quiet and face-saving official position through his father-in-law, so that neither the old lady nor the Wei family dare to underestimate him. Therefore, he doesn't care about everything in the house. After Xu Xi returned home, he also thought that with the old lady, the eldest lady, and the Wei family in charge, he couldn't be hungry or cold, and he could still go to school, so he didn't need to worry about it anymore.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Thinking about it at this time, Wei didn't send anyone to ask when he didn't see him go back to eat, and he ignored his daughter, so he was very angry.

He thought about it, stood up, and said to the little guy, "Go and set the car." Now it's getting dark and the girl hasn't come back, maybe something has happened, and I'll have to go and see. ”

The little maid answered the call and walked to the road and called a little maid: "Go to the kitchen and tell them that the second master is going out and has no time to eat dinner, so he should bring some food to satisfy his hunger on the road." And a few of our entourage, you ask the kitchen man to go to the gate together. ”

In fact, the second master didn't eat anything, he ate a snack just now, even if he went out for a run, he couldn't be hungry, and he didn't order to prepare a meal. But the little guy himself was hungry, and he didn't have time to eat just now, and he didn't know when he would come back when he went out for a while.

So he simply used the excuse of preparing food for the second master and prepared it for himself.

Originally, he was supposed to run this by himself, but he couldn't leave here, so he simply grabbed someone to help run errands. The little maid in front of her looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing the clothes of a third-class maid, but she was a rough man. The little maids around them, the maids, did not dare to refuse.

The little maid glanced at him, bowed her head slightly and replied, "I'm not available." With that, he walked straight out of the gate.

"Hey, I said you little girl, I can't call you, right? Do you know who I am? I'm a little guy next to the second master. The second master is over there. He gestured to the gazebo.

From here, you can still vaguely see Zhao Yuanliang sitting in the pavilion.

"I can't leave here. If you don't help spread the word, you will delay the second master's affairs, and you won't be able to eat and walk around. He added.

The little maid glanced at the pavilion, not only did she not stop, but she also walked quickly with her skirt, and said: "I am from the courtyard of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady asked me to inquire about the fifth girl, I don't have time to help you, you can call someone else." As he spoke, he soon disappeared.

The little guy was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Yuanliang in the pavilion, and hesitated to go over to report the matter. After thinking about it, he didn't go back, but found someone to go to the kitchen again to help spread the word, and then went to the concierge to call someone to set up a car.

After a cup of tea, when Zhao Yuanliang went out and got into the carriage, he was very satisfied when he saw the meals and snacks on the table of the carriage. Although I had some snacks just now, I didn't have a serious meal to eat.

He spoke: "Twenty wen per person." ”

The little girl was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Their monthly allowance is only 300 wen a month. The reward money obtained from time to time is also a lot of income.

"Master, just now the eldest lady sent a little maid to ask why the fifth girl hasn't come back yet. The porter told her that she had not seen the carriage of the five girls, and that the little maid had gone back. The little guy said.

He is a person who does things properly, and just now he asked the doorkeeper about the little maid, and knew that she was really from the eldest lady's courtyard, and she did come to inquire about the fifth girl, so he reported to Zhao Yuanliang.
