Li Xiaoxue stood outside Fang Siqi's courtyard for a long time, but still couldn't see Fang Siqi.

She originally wanted to break in, but Fang Siqi's maids were all very powerful, and she had no choice but to go back to her house in disgrace.

Yan and Yuling had been waiting in her room for a long time, "Sister Li, how is it?" Did Zhongchen's daughter-in-law agree? ”

Li Xiaoxue calmly patted Yan's hand, "Sister Yan, you followed the master earlier than me, and it is not appropriate to call me sister." ”

"What's not right." Yan said, "Sister Li, you are now developed, you have given birth to a good son, and your daughter-in-law is also filial to you." ”

"My daughter-in-law is very arrogant, and she doesn't even pay attention to the old lady and the old lady, that is, I can still say a few words to her." was held by others, Li Xiaoxue floated, "You see, now that the Shen family has failed, my son and daughter-in-law can still afford to use maids." My daughter-in-law felt sorry for me, and yesterday she sent a maid to serve me, saying that she couldn't wronged me. ”

Yan flattered again and again, "Sister Li, now your life is getting better and better, you are kind in your heart, can you help your sister?" My sister has two children, and she hasn't had a good life at home for two days. Wen Fang was sold by his wife to an old man as a concubine, and it was difficult enough. Now Madame still wants to give Yuling to an old man as a concubine..."

Yan said sadly, and tears flowed out uncontrollably. "My good sister, you can help my poor child for the sake of our sisterhood for so many years."

Li Xiaoxue sighed, "Alas, it's not that I don't help you, it's mainly that my daughter-in-law is not a nosy master." I went to her, and when I mentioned it, she told me to leave it alone. Now that my son is gone, what can I do? ”

Anyway, the rest of the Shen Mansion didn't know that Fang Siqi hadn't seen her, so Aunt Li panicked, her face was not red and her heart was not beating.

"My good sister, Zhongchen's daughter-in-law respects you, you must have a way." Yan held Li Xiaoxue's hand tightly and pushed the silver bracelet she was carrying into her hand.

This silver bracelet is the only remaining dowry of the Yan family, and now for Yuling, she has no choice but to give it to Li Xiaoxue.

She knew that Li Xiaoxue had coveted her silver bracelet for a long time.

Now Li Xiaoxue has no long things, and even the only silver earring was searched by the master before being put in prison. When she saw the silver bracelet she had been thinking about for a long time on her hand, she felt extremely satisfied.

"Alas, since Sister Yan said so, then I'll go and help you talk about it." Li Xiaoxue said reluctantly, "But you also know the temperament of my daughter-in-law there, and I can't tell if I can convince her." ”

"Please also ask Sister Li to help say a few more good words to Zhongchen's daughter-in-law..."

Yan flattered Li Xiaoxue for a long time, and it wasn't until it was almost time to eat that she left with Yuling.

Yuling had red eyes, watching her mother grovel to Aunt Li, and even gave her favorite silver bracelet to Aunt Li, her heart was very sour, "Mother, why don't we go back to Aunt Li and ask for the silver bracelet back, let's not ask her." Why don't you just make an old man a concubine, and your daughter is married. Maybe my daughter is better off there than in Shen Mansion. ”

"You stupid girl, how good is it to be a concubine! Look at the mother... He can't even decide his daughter's marriage. Yan's eyes were also red, "It's because my mother has no ability, so you haven't been able to talk about a person when you're eighteen." ”

"Mother, don't cry, you want to open up." Yuling comforted, "Look at our sister, didn't she come back from Dad's welcome banquet last time?" It doesn't look like he's doing well, at least not starving and freezing. We are in Shen Mansion, and we have to worry about not having enough food and clothing! ”

Yan looked at Yuling and cried even more fiercely, "Yuling, how is your sister doing?" The dress she wore last time was obviously someone else's, and the shoulder width was different. Because I want to go back to my parents' house, I find a borrowed one to wear to save face. You don't see the hands under her clothes, they are all smacked..."

"Sister, she... Why don't you tell us! ”

"What's the use of what she says? We can't help, but we still make us worried..."Yan said, "Your sister has always asked me to keep an eye on your family affairs, don't live a life like her." I've been staring at you, but I can't help you with your family affairs without a nod from Madame. My mother doesn't want you to be rich and prosperous, and I don't want you to make up for me after you get married, I just hope that you will be safe and secure in the future, and you can live a normal life, not like your mother and your sister..."

"That Zhongchen's daughter-in-law is capable, as long as she is willing to keep you out of the Shen Mansion, just a silver bracelet is nothing... Even if my mother gave up this life, my mother was willing. ”

"Mother..."

Yuling and Yan hugged and cried bitterly, and the limes that came to take away the little maid were not good enough to come forward to disturb them.

The little maid is young in the end, and if she doesn't know how to be a maid, it's best to keep her mouth shut.

She directly told Lime about Yan's begging for Li Xiaoxue, as well as Li Xiaoxue's words.

"Sister Lime, why do you say the master is unwilling to help Aunt Yan? Miss Yuling is quite pitiful. ”

Lime scratched the little girl's nose, "If you don't know the truth, don't talk nonsense." The master didn't see Aunt Li at all, and he didn't know about it..."

"But Aunt Li, she..."

"People like Aunt Li, you don't want to believe her words in the future." Lime kindly reminded, "In the future, you will follow me, learn more about the rules of being a maid, listen more and think more about everything, of course, loyalty to the master is the most important." As long as you can do this, you will follow the master to eat and drink spicy food in the future. ”

"Can you eat enough?" After the little maid asked, she felt that it was wrong, "Can I wear the same clothes as you in the future?" "Sister Lime's clothes are even better than Aunt Li's, bright and slippery, and the patterns are good-looking, and the little maid likes them very much.

"Of course. So when you see the master, you have to behave better, so that the master will keep you. ”

The little girl clenched her fists, "I see." ”

After Yan and Yuling left, the two hurried to Fang Siqi to report.

"Master, this is the little maid that the slave mentioned to you before."

Fang Siqi raised his eyes and saw that the little girl had yellow muscles and thin muscles, like a bamboo pole, this person was really twelve years old?

Lime pushed the little maid, and the little maid said timidly, "The slave has seen the master." ”

"What's your name?"

"Erya."

Fang Siqi was stunned for a moment, would anyone give his daughter such a name? "Listen to your accent, aren't you from the capital?"

"The slave is from Lingnan." The little maid responded tremblingly.

"Lingnan is three months away from Beijing, how did you think of coming to Beijing to be a maid?"

Erya suddenly turned red and cried, "The year before last, there was a big flood in my village, and everyone in the family was washed away, and the slave maid was led to the capital by a kind aunt, saying that you can find your father and mother here, and you can also have a full meal... But the slave has been in Beijing for a year, and she has neither found her father nor mother, nor has she been able to eat enough..."

The more Erya talked, the more sad she became, and finally she cried and couldn't stop it.

Fang Siqi looked at Erya and fell into deep thought, the year before last, the Lingnan flood? It shouldn't be.

Prince Ping went to Lingnan to control the water earlier, and there was no report of the flood situation or casualties, why did Erya say that her family was washed away?

Lime coaxed for a long time and didn't coax Erya, she looked at Fang Siqi worriedly, afraid that she would find Erya's crying annoying.

Fang Siqi was not angry, but said, "This girl is pitiful, let's call her a pity in the future." ”

"Thank you for the name." Lime excitedly answered for Erya.

The master gave her a name, which means that he accepted her. Great, Li'er will be able to eat well in the future.

"Take her down to eat something, she's too thin to call her."
