"Repay?" Chu Mengying muttered.

Chu Huazhang was puzzled: "What does my father mean?" ”

Chu Cailiang said in a deep voice: "Call me master in the future!" Didn't you understand what I said just now? Now it's not that I don't want you to be children, it's that the emperor wants to make you slaves! It is the best duty to buy you home and not let you suffer from other people's families. In the future, if the title is wrong, let the emperor know, misunderstand that you are still living the life of the young lady and the young master when you go home, you are not afraid of killing your head, and the Chu family can't be buried for you! ”

Chu Cailiang spoke sharply, and Chu Huazhang and Chu Mengying's faces were red and white.

Seeing that they seemed to be really frightened, Chu Cailiang was slightly satisfied, and said, "Your mother's last bite of food before she died was fed by Sister Lan herself. She can send your mother on the road with peace of mind, regardless of her past suspicions, and she can buy you back with kindness, shouldn't you be grateful for it? ”

Chu Mengying's lips moved, and she restrained herself from saying anything unpleasant.

Chu Huazhang's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "What does the master mean?" How do you want us to repay? Do you want to go and make Chu Junlan a slave and a maid? ”

Chu Cailiang smoothed his beard twice, "It's all up to your own mind." ”

The implication is that those who know each other must take the initiative to serve Chu Junlan.

Chu Mengying burst into tears, "The master hates his aunt in his heart, so he doesn't even want his daughter and son?" ”

Chu Huazhang was said to be sad, and he also covered his face and cried: "What did we do wrong again?" We didn't know it, we were happy to celebrate my grandmother's birthday before, but in the blink of an eye, there was nothing, my aunt was beheaded, and we became subordinates all of a sudden, and now Dad wants us to serve other brothers and sisters, if Dad is like this, it is better to let us die together! ”

When Chu Cailiang heard them say this, his heart was a little sour for a while.

They are miserable, why is he not miserable?

He had just become a five-grade official, and he proudly gave the old lady a big birthday on his front foot, and he lost the black yarn in the blink of an eye, if it wasn't for the eldest son to risk his life, I'm afraid that the whole family's corpse would be cold.

All in all, he is the most wronged one!

Chu Cailiang almost burst into tears on the spot, "Why am I not wronged?" However, this is the situation now, who can disobey the emperor's will? Not to mention that you can't be a young lady's son, don't I also change from an official body to a cloth cloth! Accept your fate! ”

Lives?

Chu Huazhang was at a loss for a while, and his tears forgot to flow.

Chu Mengying lowered her head, bit her lip unwillingly, and bit her lower lip out of blood.

Could it be that her life is to serve people all her life?

Why? In terms of appearance and talent, what is she inferior to Chu Junlan? Why did Chu Junlan have everything, but she lost everything? Could it be that Chu Junlan is only a descendant!

Yes, she is indeed a concubine, her biological mother is humble, she is also tired, and she can't even hold her head up for the rest of her life!

But she was not reconciled!

"Master, it's really difficult for us to serve the third sister. If it spreads, I'm afraid it will also cause people to discuss. Chu Mengying said timidly, "Or, you arrange for us to go to the needlework room or study to do things, your daughter's female popularity is not bad, Brother Zhang can also learn more things, even if it is a slave, it may not be impossible to do something in the future, and maybe you can do something for the Chu family." ”

Chu Mengying's words really moved Chu Cailiang. She knows her father too well, this person is mercenary, weak family affection, and wants to move him with emotion, it is better to move him with profit. Just like when she tried to climb to Gao Zhi'er, the second young master of the Dingguo Mansion, Chu Cailiang was angry not because she was angry that she was doing something wrong, but because she didn't get it done.

"This ...... It's okay too. Chu Cailiang was relieved, "After all, if you say that you have been serving people, it will not sound good if you say that you are close in the future, and when Sister Lan becomes the princess in the future, maybe I can find a way for you." You can't just be a human being for the rest of your life. ”

"Yes, sir." Chu Mengying snorted and said quite sincerely, "Even if we can't call your father now, we are blood relatives." ”

Chu Huazhang also nodded.

Chu Cailiang thought about it and said, "That's it, I'll tell Sister Lan about this." In the future, she is in charge of the middle feed of the family, and you just have to ask her if there is anything. ”

"Yes, sir." Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang saluted respectfully.

Chu Junlan got Liang Hui's reply, nodded with a smile: "Since it is my father's arrangement, then let's do it, Steward Liang will help arrange it, and besides, although their share can no longer be as many as before, they should not be too lazy in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they are not real subordinates in the end." ”

"Yes." Liang Hui said with emotion, "The third lady is kind-hearted. ”

Chu Junlan smiled, she wasn't very kind-hearted, she just didn't want to have a ruthless reputation. She didn't care about fame or anything like that, but now she found that fame could help her get things done sometimes.

Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang settled down, they naturally couldn't go back to the original courtyard to live, Chu Huazhang went to live in the upside-down seat of the study in the outer courtyard, and Liang Hui arranged a single room for him. Chu Mengying went to the upside-down seat of Yuqing Garden, lived with the maid of the original Aunt Wang, and had to do a lot of embroidery work every day.

It's just that she suddenly changed from a young lady to a slave, even though Chu Mengying wanted to endure it for a while, and then try to have a follow-up effect in the future, there were too many people who offended Aunt Wang when she was in charge of the house.

Now that Aunt Wang is dead, Yuqingyuan has fallen, Chu Huazhang is fine, living in the outer courtyard, the people around him don't seem to be like the ladies in the inner house, and the maids and daughters-in-law in the inner house have been treated by Aunt Wang, but they have to learn more or less about Chu Mengying.

Chu Mengying has endless white eyes and endless sarcasm every day.

What made Chu Mengying even more unbearable was Chu Yunjiao and Chu Peishan, who were also concubines with her before, and now they were high in front of her.

At the end of the month, the first snow fell in the capital.

Chu Mengying had just opened her eyes, and before she was willing to leave the warm bed, the door was unceremoniously pushed open.

The cold wind swished in, and the cold Chu Mengying shivered, hugged the quilt and got up and scolded angrily: "Who! Look for death! ”

"Oh, you're so imposing." Chu Yunjiao wore a pale pink cotton cloak, hugged her warm sleeves, and walked into the room step by step.

"It's snowing so hard outside, don't you know how to go out and clean up? Why are you still sleeping? Who raised a subordinate like you? ”

Chu Mengying bit her lip, and in order to avoid trouble, she gritted her teeth and got up to get dressed, and went to the yard to clear the snow.

Chu Yunjiao looked at her clumsy appearance when clearing the snow from behind and smiled, "Look at you, you are clumsy, you can't sweep the snow." You are not qualified to be a subordinate, and it is only because of the kindness of the third sister that you are willing to redeem you. ”

After being bullied for many days, Chu Mengying's forbearance finally came to an end.

She stood up straight, turned around and said coldly: "Chu Yunjiao, don't be too deceitful!" In the past, when my mother was alive, your mother was just a dog next to my mother, and if she was asked to come to Xiaori, she had to say that she came to Xiaori, and if she was asked to set fire to kill people, she had to set fire to kill people! She didn't even dare to let out a fart! ”

"How dare you say that about my mother! You are presumptuous! ”

"Am I presumptuous? Have you forgotten? You're also a pug by my side, good things have to be close to me first, what, now that I'm down, you forgot that you still wag your tail! ”

"You little, I'll fight with you!" Chu Yunjiao was furious, threw away her warm sleeves and rushed towards Chu Mengying.

Chu Mengying had been holding her breath for many days, not dodging or dodging, and scuffled with Chu Yunjiao.

Chu Yunjiao's girl Cheng'er jumped to her feet in a hurry, rushed up to help but couldn't pull away the two who were scuffling, and rushed out with her head bored, planning to call someone to come, but who knew that she almost fell into Chu Junlan's arms head-on.

"Three, Third Miss......" Cheng'er was stunned, when did Third Miss come?

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Yunjiao and Chu Mengying with a sinking face, and instructed the mother-in-law carrying the cloth behind him, "You go, separate them, and escort them to the main hall." In addition, call Aunt Sun and Aunt Su together. I have something to ask. ”
