Aunt Zhao didn't sleep all night, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged.

As soon as it was dawn, she asked Chunqin to go to the Wisteria Pavilion to call Chu Yueli over to talk.

Hongxiao stopped at the door, and Shengsheng was laughed at by Chunqin. She didn't want to talk to Chunqin more, lest Aunt Zhao come to make trouble again, so she simply conveyed Aunt Zhao's words to Chu Yueli to see how she responded.

Chu Yueli was running in the backyard in the morning, and after hearing Hongxiao's words, she smiled and said, "Yes, this is another consideration for my twenty acres of fertile land that has not yet arrived." ”

Hongxiao had a calm face and spitted: "It's too shameless!" ”

Chu Yueli said: "If you go to reply, you will say that the red-sleeved residence is too narrow, and I can't breathe when I go." If my aunt has something, let her come and talk to me. ”

Hongxiao hesitated a little and asked, "Let her come, what should I do if she pretends to have a stomachache and makes a fuss?" ”

Chu Yueli took the cloth towel handed over by Duobao, wiped the sweat on her face, squinted her eyes and said, "She doesn't give the blessings in her stomach, and she can't complain about others when the trouble is gone." ”

Hongxiao felt that Chu Yueli's expression when she said this was extraordinarily calm, but it also revealed an indescribable coldness. Her heart trembled, and she hurriedly bowed her head in response, and was about to turn to reply.

Chu Yueli stretched out her hand, grabbed an apricot, threw it into her mouth, and said vaguely: "The eldest sister came back today?" ”

Hongxiao knew that this was asking her, so she stopped and replied obediently, "Yes." I heard that the painting in the lady's room was like a sister, and the eldest lady sent someone back to the house last night to inform her, saying that she would come back early this morning. Look at the time, it is estimated that after breakfast, it will be soon. After a slight pause, he looked up at Chu Yueli, "Miss, this Wisteria Pavilion of the eldest lady has never let others in." Now the young lady lives here, although the lady agrees, the eldest lady is not so easy to talk to. ”

Chu Yueli said: "Today's incident, for me, the worst result is nothing more than moving out of the Wisteria Pavilion. For you and Duobao, you can't escape a beating. ”

Hongxiao had already thought about this result, but when she heard Chu Yueli say it, her heart still trembled.

Duobao was taken aback and asked, "Why did you beat us?" ”

Chu Yueli looked at Hongxiao.

Hongxiao replied instead of Chu Yueli: "Because the eldest lady wants to stand up, it is not appropriate to beat our young lady, so I can only find a reason to beat the two of us." ”

Duobao's face turned pale, but he immediately expressed his determination and said to Chu Yueli: "It's okay, slave fight!" ”

Chu Yueli threw an apricot to Duobao and joked: "Okay, since you can't escape a meal, let's eat some apricots from her first, and make a bottom, so that you won't be wronged if you are beaten." ”

Duobao nodded and began to eat apricots desperately, which meant that apricots would relieve pain.

Chu Yueli looked at Hongxiao and asked again, "What does the eldest sister like on weekdays?" Afraid of what? ”

Hongxiao thought for a while and replied: "The slave has not served the eldest lady, but I heard that the eldest lady likes the grass and trees in this wisteria pavilion the most, and is most afraid of insects and the smell of feces and urine, so she sent Xiangzi's daughter-in-law to guard here, catch insects, protect wisteria, and do not fertilize fruit trees." ”

Chu Yueli nodded and motioned for Hongxiao to reply.

Hongxiao turned to leave, but her heart was full of unease. She doesn't want to be beaten, she just wants to live a good life.

Chu Yueli asked Duobao: "Are you afraid of insects?" ”

Duobao shook his head and replied, "Don't be afraid." ”

Chu Yueli smiled and praised, "Very good." ”

On the other side, Chunqin relayed Chu Yueli's words to Aunt Zhao as they were, making her angry. Seeing that the time to greet Mrs. Chu had come, Aunt Zhao rearranged her makeup, and rushed to Helaiju with a majestic spirit, ready to find Chu Yueli to tear it up, but she didn't want to, Chu Yueli actually claimed that she was uncomfortable and sent Hongxiao to ask for peace.

Mrs. Chu was in no mood to set rules for these concubines because her baby daughter was going back to the house, so she avoided it directly, and everyone dispersed.

Aunt Zhao couldn't vent her anger, and mocked at Hongxiao: "Your third lady is really expensive, after going to Jingruo Temple, how can this body be unfavorable?" Didn't you do something unclean and offend the Buddha? ”

Hongxiao remembered what Chu Yueli had told her, no matter what Aunt Zhao said, she was not allowed to answer, so she could only hang her head and trot away without saying a word. Red Night did so.

Aunt Zhao suddenly felt that there was something greasy in this, maybe she said something. She had the heart to find out, but she knew that when the eldest lady returned home today, she would definitely go to the Wisteria Pavilion to establish her power, so she endured her curiosity and let Chunqin help her back to the Red Sleeve Residence. But when I returned to the Red Sleeves, no matter how I looked at it, I felt that this place was cramped, and I couldn't even breathe smoothly.

In the Wisteria Pavilion, Chu Yueli had just finished breakfast, when she saw Duobao hurriedly running into the house, with a dirty face, and said excitedly: "Master, master, the eldest lady is back!" The slave listened to the young lady's words, and lay down in the grass early, and no one found the slave. The slave heard the eldest lady say that she wanted to take someone back to the house. "Look at the red night," the eldest lady asked for the red night. ”

When Hongxiao heard this, her face changed, and she hurriedly asked, "Has Madam agreed?" ”

Duobao replied, "Madame agreed." ”

Hongxiao's body shook, and suddenly knelt in front of Chu Yueli with a pop, and said nervously: "Please don't agree, don't agree, slave be a cow and a horse to repay Miss!" ”

Chu Yueli raised her eyebrows and said playfully: "The eldest sister came back to ask for someone, but she picked you, and I don't want to lack a girl to work." Didn't you always want to be a concubine and ascend to the sky in one step? Why don't you want to go? ”

Hongxiao looked at Chu Yueli in horror and said, "Miss doesn't know, the last time the eldest lady was going to take a good-looking girl from the mansion, and within a few days, the girl died." The house didn't let me talk about this news, but the girl's mother washed her face with tears all day long. In the end, the lady sold the whole family, and no one dared to mention the matter again. ”

Chu Yueli thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it was an accident." You don't want to gamble? ”

Hongxiao said: "The eldest lady has always been domineering, not a tolerant person. The slave really wanted to ascend to the sky in one step, but he didn't want to give his life. Beg...... Miss, don't send away the slaves. The slave kowtowed to the young lady. With that, he kowtowed.

Chu Yueli picked it up with her toes and pressed it against Hongxiao's forehead, preventing her from continuing to kowtow.

Hongxiao looked up at Chu Yueli and said excitedly: "Miss, but you agreed?" ”

Chu Yueli retracted her foot and said, "No." ”

Hongxiao's face stiffened, and she asked eagerly: "Didn't Miss say that she would protect her own people?" ”

Chu Yueli smiled and asked, "Then are you your own person?" ”

Hongxiao took a deep breath and said, "The slave is the master's person. ”

Chu Yueli raised her eyebrows and said, "Hongxiao, do you know that the relationship between the master and the slave is not as simple as the slave recognizing the master. Let the master take in the slaves, and the slaves must also show sincerity and skill. ”

Hongxiao twisted her hands, suddenly got up, and ran to the backyard.
