The eldest lady returned to Chu Yu's courtyard, and Diancui had to come early to wait for Xie En. In the courtyard, there are also second- and third-class maids such as Ruohe and Ruju, as well as a new maid named Xiaomei.

The servants in the house are the first-class maids in this courtyard, autumn moon and winter snow. Gui Chuyu came back from the old lady and was reclining on the step to eat the fruit. Afraid of crushing the neat head, Qiuyue and Dongxue half-squatted behind her and carefully supported her full of pearls.

Gui Chuyu is a typical three-point appearance and seven-point dress. Begonia red satin plum blossom-like placket, gold dragonfly playing in the water buttons buttoned with white silk vertical collar, caryophyllus silver-edged thread skirt, pink satin embroidered beaded high-soled shoes.

Look at the head again, the towering silver silk bun, with the eight treasures of gold silk distraction, the distraction of gold inlaid jade bead hoop, Jin Lingzhi, Jin Xiangyun's sideburns on both sides of each inserted a pair, the silver silk bun on one side obliquely saved a ruby pendant of the begonia Turui hairpin, the back is also inlaid with beads inlaid treasure step shake hairpin, another small insert, pecking needle several, on both sides of the ear a pair of gold gourd earrings.

She has brought a whole set of heads and faces, and the ladies and ladies of the family in the capital, if they don't go out to meet guests on weekdays, there are few ordinary dresses at home with a whole set of heads, but Miss Gui Chuyu is so grand every day.

"Let her in," Gui Chuyu spat out a soft apricot kernel and said leisurely.

"Which one is the young lady referring to?" Winter Snow Ne Road.

"What stupid as a pig!" Gui Chuyu snorted and scolded: "Diancui, let Diancui come in." ”

Dongxue and Qiuyue seemed to have long been accustomed to the eldest lady's behavior, so they hurriedly went out and summoned some cui in.

Gui Chuyu glanced at Diancui, who was standing on the side like a wood, and then turned his head to Dongxue and said, "Tell the kitchen to boil some good porridge," and said with a smile: "I've been hungry for three days and suffered you, and you don't have to hold a grudge against Madame, she is sorry for me before she wants to punish you." ”

"Back to Miss's words, Dian Cui didn't dare, that time it was the slave who was stupid, and the young lady fell into the water, thanks to Miss not giving up and interceding for Dian Cui." Diancui said sincerely.

"Heh," If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, Gui Chuyu didn't expect that the first thing she said when she saw her was this, and she was prepared to defend herself. If she really came to Xingshi to ask for her guilt, then it would be good, and everyone would know that this maid didn't know how to be grateful, and then it would be even more difficult for her to survive in this mansion.

She actually recognized it like this, which was really unexpected by Gui Chuyu, and she couldn't remember to say anything for a while.

"You go down first, and stay guard outside the door." Gui Chuyu instructed Qiu Yuedao.

When the autumn moon went down, the smile on Gui Chuyu's face faded instantly, and he quietly looked at the pale Dian Cui, and Dian Cui endured the powerlessness caused by hunger and pain, and his expression became more and more respectful.

"You really don't blame me? If it's a day too late, you'll surely die. Gui Chuyu said slowly.

"Miss won't want the life of a slave," Diancui was a little dizzy, shook a few times and stood again. She was put back last night, and the bedding was thrown out by the maids. She had to rely on her memory to find a kitchen, find half a piece of bread, and eat it carefully.

"It's good to see you like this, I won't treat you like this." Gui Chuyu suddenly felt that the calmness on Diancui's face was very eye-catching, shouldn't she beg for herself like a frightened bird after this incident.

"Miss has always been kind-hearted, and she takes good care of Diancui, how can she kill me." Diancui said with a smile.

She expected that Chu Yu would not kill her, if she wanted to kill, she didn't need to spend a dozen taels of silver to buy herself in the mansion, and two taels of silver to buy a killer in Qianjia Village or on the way to the capital If you want to kill her, you can kill it. Since she bought it, she won't kill it easily, as for why Gui Chuyu bought herself by her side, Diancui in her previous life only thought that she was thinking about the old days and growing up together, she was not so naïve in this life, but she still hadn't fully guessed Gui Chuyu's intentions.

"Do you really think so?" Gui Chuyu sneered.

"To put it mildly, when I was young, Dian Cui was dull and ignorant, and was abused and beaten by Qian Laosi's family, and no one in the village was willing to play with me, only my sister did not dislike it, so that I followed me every day, and occasionally I would share one or two with food, and the friendship at that time was enough to remember Cui for a lifetime." Dian Cui's words were earnest, and when he talked about the past, his eyes were filled with tears. The friendship in the past was true, if there was no friendship, Gui Chuyu at that time would not know the hairpin on Diancui's body.

Gui Chuyu was told by her, and couldn't help but recall the past, and sighed: "Okay, that's the case, there is another sentence you have to remember, in the future, your life is given by me, whether it is glory and wealth, or eating bran vegetables, it is also in my thoughts, can you remember it clearly?" ”

"Yes, Diancui will never forget Miss's kindness." Diancui lowered his eyes and said.

At this time, Dong Xue came in with a bowl of shredded chicken and lotus leaf porridge, Gui Chuyu waved his hand, and Dong Xue went to feed some cui and eat it.

Diancui took two bites, and didn't forget to thank Sister Dongxue, Dongxue didn't speak, but a trace of pity flashed in her eyes when she looked weak, and she fed the bowl carefully.

At this time, Qiuyue also entered the door, and when she saw Dongxue serving Dian Cui to eat, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and looked at the eldest lady, who said why don't you go and pour a cup of tea. Qiu Yue said yes, so she went to say a cup of tea and brought it to Diancui.

Diancui hurriedly got up and said, "Don't dare." ”

Gui Chuyu smiled and pressed her to the table, and said kindly: "You and I are not allowed to do this, what I have is indispensable to you, I think that day, you and I will grow up together......"

"Miss has tormented the slave maid," Diancui immediately stood up again, regardless of dizziness and dizziness, and said urgently: "Miss, don't mention these, the slave knows that Miss is good to me, but after all, there is a difference between master and servant, and it is already a blessing for Diancui to be able to serve by Miss's side...... "To talk about hypocrisy, although Diancui is not handy, he has seen a lot in his previous life, and he can't be worse than painting a scoop with a gourd."

Gui Chuyu nodded slightly, it seems that after many years, this girl has really grown. That is the case, Chu Yu smiled and said Then you will be on duty in my courtyard from tomorrow onwards, and you will still live in the shop in the front yard, so you don't need to serve today, let's go first.

Dian Cui couldn't help but look happy, and Gui Chuyu picked up two pieces of sesame oil mixed with shredded chicken stuffed shortbread and fried small twist flowers from the box on the table as a reward, and said Let's eat it as tea with you. Diancui respectfully wrapped the shortbread and twist flowers with a sweat towel and went out, and did not forget to thank Qiuyue and Dongxue.

After Diancui got out of the courtyard of Gui Chuyu, he walked a long way and arrived at a remote place in the outer courtyard.

With a "wow", Diancui couldn't hold back anymore and spit out the lotus leaf chicken shredded porridge in his abdomen. Then he felt dizzy and fainted among the flowers.

After a long time, Dian Cui vaguely saw a few figures approaching, and then a pair of strong hands picked her up, Dian Cui wanted to see the person clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break away from her eyes, and finally fainted again.

For a long time, when Diancui woke up here, he felt that he had recovered his strength after falling asleep, and he also lost the hunger that was powerless to die, and the bleeding stopped where he was beaten by Qian Pozi. Diancui still remembered that there were hands to pick herself up, but she didn't know the person's face, Diancui subconsciously looked around, there was no one around, and the place where she herself went was on the bunk of the next person's room.

Diancui looked at a cluster of spring flowers on the wall of the courtyard outside still bloomed to the extreme, and the branches began to bloom with clusters of greenery, the courtyard wall was very high, and the branches of the spring flowers climbed very high, high above the courtyard wall.

When the maid saw Diancui, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then someone shouted.

"This is my bed, why are you lying on my bed, it is dirty, and the country girl won't get me up." A maid stared at a man with round eyes, one hand crossed her waist, and the other hand pointed indignantly at Diancui, following to drive away an abominable fly.

Diancui lowered her head and got up, picked up the bedding and found a space to put it down.

"There's someone on this bed," a light-clothed maid saw that Diancui was about to make the bed, and immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Diancui had to go to the innermost bed, and another maid with darker clothes put her legs and feet on her feet, and sneered: "I'm going to put sundries here, you go to the next place." ”

There are a total of five beds in this subordinate room, and there are three people living in it, and the eyes of these people are extremely unfriendly when they look at Dian Cui. Diancui was silent, only silently picked up the covered clothes and went to another room, and after a while, he was squeezed out again.

Now, there is only one room left, the utility room.

Diancui stood in the courtyard in a daze with something in her arms, and it happened that Grandma Lu came in, and when she saw her like this, a few little maids behind her were pointing again. Grandma Lu is old man in the house how could he not guess the twists and turns inside, but he didn't open his mouth, just pointed indifferently to the ear room, and said that no one wants to live with you, so you live there, and pointed to the maids behind and said You help clean it up.

This utility room is a small ear room, usually put some waste sundries, damp and cold in the inside, not to mention there is no light, black, after entering can still hear the sound of rats and ants scurrying.

After the little maids went in, they all screamed and ran out, standing at the door and no longer daring to enter, Dian Cui was bold enough to go in, and moved some sundries out in his hands, but when he came out, he saw that the door was still empty.

It turned out that when the little maids saw that Grandma Lu was gone, they didn't want to help Diancui clean up, so they went back to the house one after another, closed the door of the house with a "bang", and chattered inside, talking about the fact that this bold country girl caused the eldest lady to fall into the water a few days ago.

Diancui carefully looked at this ear room, there are four such ear rooms in this courtyard, except for the narrow, half a head shorter than the main room, but there are also long carved animal eaves, but there will be no rain into the house on rainy days. It's just that there is no window except for the door, and even if it is daylight, it is pitch black, and you can't see what is piled up inside. Diancui moved out little by little, and soon there were some sundries piled up in the yard.

Some broken jars, crooked pots, a few stools, tables and chairs with few legs, discarded sprinkler and sweeping utensils, bird cages, needlework, candle heads, old clothes, rags...... Diancui even found a dilapidated box inside, and when he opened it, there was a complete set of jewelry making utensils!

In addition to these small bits and pieces, there was a lame bed, and Diancui thought that he could use it to pad the bar and make a sleeping bed.

During this period, Grandma Lu went into the front yard and saw that this mess was piled up in a yard, and immediately frowned and scolded Diancui to clean up quickly.

Dian Cui was not afraid but stepped forward to salute, and asked if the shabby tool box and the lame bed could be used for himself, Grandma Lu raised her hand and said It's all yours, hurry up and clean it up, it should be thrown away......

Dian Cui said embarrassedly, I still need some rat poison, if I can have some cheap flower seeds, can I give some.

Grandma Lu squinted at her, this maid was from the countryside, and she caused such a big disturbance in the house, and she didn't even realize it, and she still regarded this place as a house in a ravine. But seeing that although she was still pale and weak, it was difficult to hide her begging, and she couldn't afford to be bored. Then he pointed to the courtyard gate, out of this courtyard, and then to the front of a courtyard, you go to find the old Diaotou, he is the gardener gardener in our house, you can ask him about the flower seeds, as for the medicine to get rid of rats and ants, you can also find him.
