Chapter 101: True and False Lady (1)
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of the lunar month.
The hairpin's matter is still at a loss, Qiuyue and Dongxue, who have a friendship with Diancui, let Gui Chuyu find a reason and be demoted to a second-class girl, but Xiaomei, the maid who ran errands before, became a celebrity next to her eldest lady and was able to serve by her side.
Gui Chu Yu lifted the ban, and he really learned to be obedient, knowing that although the Wu family loved her, he also had a bottom line, and there were people around him who had ideas, so there were more times when he went to the Wu family's courtyard every day.
For some reason, Wu can no longer feel as intimate with this daughter as before, but she often comes to shush and ask for warmth, so that Wu has an unreal feeling.
On this day, Gui Chuyu went to Wu's room again, and happened to meet Diancui with a food box and went out.
Diancui bent her knees and said hello, Gui Chuyu responded casually, and didn't make much trouble, so she let her go back. Xiaomei, who was behind Chu Yu, was also holding a food box, and when she saw that Diancui was no longer as targeted as before, she didn't know what to think about when she lowered her head.
"Mother, how is your cough? Yu'er found a prescription, let the doctor in the house see it and said it was a good prescription, so she quickly grabbed the medicine and boiled it and sent it to her mother. Gui Chuyu said and instructed Xiaomei to bring up the food box, and took out the soup bowl with his own hands to feed Wu's food.
"The eldest lady has a heart, give it to the old slave." Grandma Lu took the bowl, but instead of feeding it to Wu, she put it under the high table next to her. Mrs. just ate some autumn pear loquat dew sent by the girl, I have eaten it for a few days, and the cough has improved, but I didn't expect the eldest lady to send medicine, and she has a heart, but she is afraid that it will be bad to make a mistake with the food in front of her.
Gui Chuyu's face was blue and red, and he was kind, but he didn't expect to be so despised by this old slave. was very aggrieved at the moment, looking at Wu's family, tears rolled in his eyes.
If this was in the past, Wu Shi saw her like this, and the poison in the bowl was estimated to be drunk in one go.
Who knew that now, he saw that Wu Shi was a little sleepy and said softly: "You can still think about being a mother, you are very happy for your mother, don't blame Grandma Lu, my mother has just taken the medicine sent by Diancui before...... Eat you this later. ”
A little emerald, a little emerald! Gui Chuyu gritted his teeth, barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "I didn't expect this maid I bought to make my mother look at her differently, speaking of which she is also a clever person, even her daughter likes her and is reluctant to let her go, if her daughter leaves the house in the future, she will definitely follow her." ”
Hearing this, not only did the Wu family raise her head, but even Grandma Lu's face changed, why didn't she see how much this eldest lady liked Diancui, a few days ago, she got in the way of Guo Lao's face and went out of her old face to ask Chu Yu to give up her deed, but who knew that she was rejected. It turned out that he wanted Diancui to be a dowry!
Diancui is not an ordinary girl, if she casually marries out to be a concubine, it will not only wronged her ability, but also slapped Guo Lao's face.
"Let's not talk about some cui, I just heard that a few days ago/You drove the winter snow and autumn moon around you to the yard to serve." Wu Shi reluctantly spoke: "They are all selected by me to serve you, I have told you many times, don't belittle them, their ability is not only in a maid, if you are well connected, it will be of great use, but you just don't listen!" ”
Wu Shi coughed angrily after speaking, and looked at Xiaomei, who was shrunk behind and lowered her eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, Xiaomei, who has the ability to do so in the winter snow and autumn moon, don't want this kind of maid who can't be on the table, she said that she likes Diancui, but I haven't seen her do anything to envelop people, Diancui's maid is clever and capable, and she is a grateful person, but if she buys people to reuse them well, people will not avoid her like now.
"Speaking of Diancui, she is not only a girl in this mansion now, but also Guo Lao's apprentice, not that she can marry if she can marry, let's talk about this matter later." Wu didn't know what this daughter was thinking, now she was only fourteen or fifteen years old and thinking about marrying in the future, didn't she know that Heng'er might have other thoughts in her heart, whether this family affair could be successful or not was not certain, did she still have thoughts about the surname An? Wu closed his eyes with a headache, too lazy to look at her again.
"But ......" Gui Chuyu is very unbelievable, that bit of Cui was obviously bought by himself with silver, he wants her to live, she will live, and he wants her to marry her to be more grateful to Dade, now that the wings are hard/With a backer, can he still disobey the master? Gui Chuyu wanted to defend a few words, but when he saw that Wu's face was already cold, he had to stop talking.
"Mother should be tired, Yu'er retired." Gui Chu Yu hated out of the Wu family's courtyard.
"What is Diancui, is a maid more important than me, a young lady! Mother is really old and confused, and she will make a subordinate fascinated! ”
On the way back to his courtyard, Gui Chuyu couldn't suppress the extreme depression in his heart and roared in a low voice.
A little cui, an autumn moon and a winter snow, are just some lowly slaves, no matter how capable they are, aren't they still a subordinate who serves people, is it necessary to provide for them like this!
Gui Chuyu was extremely disdainful, if it weren't for that little bit of Cui's face and the blood on her body, it would still be useful, and he could let her live to this day, and still have such a chance?
"What a daze, still not to keep up. You too, you used to look very clever, why did you become like a fool when you came to serve me, and you were unlucky to see you like this! Gui Chuyu couldn't take a breath out of others, so he had to put the fire on her.
Xiaomei was scolded, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, she was hesitant to think about that incident, but now she was scolded by Chu Yu and became evil......
Let's say that Gui Chuyu's front foot left Gui's courtyard, and a little maid flashed in from the outside with his back foot, and whispered twice in Grandma Lu's ear.
Grandma Lu couldn't help but be startled, turned around and walked quickly into the house.
"What! Brought back a person? Take me to see ...... See...... Ahem, ahem! Wu stiffened up from the couch and couldn't help coughing again.
"Madam, don't worry, the people are all brought back, and they are locked up in an inconspicuous yard in front of them, and the people are tied up and can't run!" Grandma Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Shi.
Before, Grandma Lu was ordered by the Wu family to go to Qianjia Village in Qingping County to investigate, and the person sent was really Diao Zhuzi, the nephew of the old Diao Tou, who knew that nothing was found in Qianjia Village, but let him inadvertently catch a woman surnamed Qian.
When the woman saw that someone was arresting her, she initially threatened that she had a sister who was the eldest lady in a big family in the capital, but later changed her story and said that she didn't know any big family.
The point is that this woman's appearance is almost exactly the same as that of the eldest lady Gui Chuyu, but she is slightly younger by two years.
As for how he caught him so coincidentally, Diao Zhuzi was vague, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
At the same time, Du Xiaozhu, a porter who took three months off because of something at home, and his younger sister at home cried and came to the concierge to advance a few months to her brother, and heard that she was injured.
At this time, Dian Cui, who was resting in the West Courtyard, also received a message from Xin'er, saying that it had been done, but nothing else was mentioned.
Regarding Du Xiaozhu's injury, Dian Cui only learned from Ruohe two days later, and she also heard Tong Li mention it, but unfortunately as early as after Wu's birthday, the second young master went out to travel with his uncle, and the situation of Du Xiaozhu's family was not optimistic, and he looked down on the doctor at all. Tong Li has a good relationship with Du Xiaozhu, so he gave some money to talk about his heart, but unfortunately now he is just a scholar......
As soon as Diancui heard it, he knew that Du Xiaozhu was injured because of doing things for himself, but he hated that Xin'er didn't say a word, where could he sit still at the moment.
As a second-class maid and Guo Lao's apprentice, she has a lot of examples, asking for ten taels of silver per month, plus the one who ran errands before didn't spend, and she also had thirty-two taels of silver when she made up a lot.
Ruohe saw that she was in a hurry, thinking that she was thinking about Du Xiaozhu as much as she was about Tong Li, so she sympathized with her at the moment, and also took out the accumulated two, two, three coins of silver and handed it to her.
Dian Cui took the silver, and didn't care about explanation, only solemnly thanked him, wrapped the silver with his baggage, and ran to the side door of the west courtyard.
As soon as he arrived at the side door, he met the little guy in Yuan Zhiheng's courtyard who came with a money bag.
Diancui took it and opened it to see that there were eight silver ingots, the kind of big silver ingots that cost five taels and one in one.
"This ...... I can't take it, teacher...... Yuan Gongzi is going to take a scientific examination next year, and it is the time to use silver, so you can take this back. Dian Cui said and stuffed the money bag back into the little girl's hand.
That little guy's name is Ming Ruo, although he was sent to Yuan Zhiheng by the Wu family, but now he is Yuan Zhiheng's henchman, and he will follow him wherever he goes in the future. Even so, Yuan Zhiheng did not avoid him about some things, because he knew a little about the relationship between Gongzi and Diancui.
"You can take it Miss Diancui, Childe said that human life is a matter of heaven, and if the silver is gone, you can earn it, so you don't have to entangle/entangle these little things." Bright as the right way.
Diancui was stunned, took the money bag, and whispered: "Thank you Yuan Gongzi for me." ”
"Naturally, girl, go quickly." Mingruo sang a promise and left.
Dian Cui carried a heavy seventy-five taels of silver on his back, and easily found Du Xiaozhu's door.
But when he heard a sad cry from inside, Diancui's face turned white and his knees weakened, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Master, why are you here?" It was Xin'er who spoke, and I saw that her clothes were ragged and unkempt, and her eyes were red and swollen.
"Du Xiaozhu, what's wrong with him?" Dian Cui didn't care about asking anything else, and asked eagerly.
"Who is this young lady?" At this time, a dark, thin, sickly-looking woman came out of the house, this person was Du Xiaozhu's mother, she was only in her early thirties, but she looked like she was in her fifties and sixties.
It seems that the person is a well-dressed and beautiful girl, although she has a kind smile on her face, this bearing looks like a young lady from a large family, where has the woman seen such a fairy-like figure, and immediately forgot to cry and asked a little restrainedly.
"Auntie, I'm not a young lady, I'm here to return home, and I'm Xiaozhu's friend," Diancui hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is Xiaozhu, has you seen the doctor?" ”
When the woman heard about her wretched child, tears began to come out again.
"It's all because I don't have the ability, I don't have the money to see a doctor for him, and it's getting worse and worse, my God, how can this make us good!"
Diancui didn't care about being polite with her anymore, and walked into the house quickly, but saw Du Xiaozhu lying on the kang, already asleep, his face was like gold leaf, and his breathing came and went.
"Why don't you go and get a doctor!" Diancui untied the burden on his back and handed it to Xin'er, with a bit of light in his tone.
Xin'er didn't dare to look at her face, so she quickly wiped away her tears and opened her baggage.
But it was white flowers, and the woman looked at the girl in astonishment, her lips trembling and she couldn't speak, and the children in the room who were lying on the side of her brother's kang also stopped crying.
Xin'er grabbed two silver ingots and flew to the medical shop.
The doctor came quickly, checked Du Xiaozhu's pulse, looked at his wound again, and anxiously took a silver needle from the medicine boy to stop the bleeding and re-bandage the wound. In the end, Zi Xin'er prescribed the medicine and ran to grab the medicine again.
"If it's half a day late, this little brother's life will be gone." The doctor slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
