There are two beds in the maid's room, but only one bed has residual warmth. Luzhu didn't sleep well last night, so she woke up early.

"Green bead girl, I don't have a bed today."

Mrs. Qiu came to bring her hot water, and Lu Zhu was combing her hair, and when she saw her holding her hand, Mrs. Qiu smiled and put the copper kettle on the brazier to heat it.

The green bead is the servant who serves Zheng Lingyi, and it can naturally be used for hot water. On this day, washing with cold water is really unbearable.

Lu Zhu went outside to pick up a small half basin of cold water, looked at the copper kettle and hesitated for a moment, but did not add hot water, but directly picked up the cold water to wash his face.

She wanted to be sober.

Lu Zhu wiped her face with a face towel, applied facial grease to her face, looked in the mirror, and went to the small kitchen to bring hot water to the main house.

Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhu had just woken up, Lu Zhu twisted a hot handkerchief and handed it to Zheng Lingyi, Zheng Lingyi wiped his face, sobered up a little, and said to Lu Zhu: "You should be busy." I'll do it myself. ”

Zheng Lingyi has done many trivial things by himself recently, in order to reduce the burden on Luzhu.

Midori answered, exited and closed the door, intending to go to the kitchenette.

She hadn't walked a few steps when she suddenly heard the mother-in-law at the door exclaiming, vaguely as if she was shouting 'Lunong'.

Lu Zhu didn't have time to think about it, so he ran over to the sound, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Yin holding Lu Nong.

Midori looked a little weak, but he was in good spirits.

"Sister Midorinon." Luzhu was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly ran over to help her.

Lu Zhu wanted to take Lu Nong to the main house to see Zheng Lingyi first, but Lu Nong said: "No, I can't do this, let's wash it first." ”

Lu Zhu has never seen Lu Nong look so embarrassed, his hair is dirty and greasy, and his face is gray and black.

"Good, good. Wash first. Lu Zhu hurriedly responded.

called Mrs. Qiu to bring hot water for Lu Nong to bathe, and Lu Zhu found another set of clean clothes and put it on the flower bench.

"I'll go tell Madame first." Lu Zhu said, got up and walked to the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zheng Lingyi hurriedly walking in a crimson cloak, thinking that she heard the movement, and after asking her mother-in-law, she knew that Lu Nong was back.

"Green beads, green thick?" Zheng Lingyi's anxious appearance made Lu Zhu's heart warm.

"Bathing." Lu Zhu said, leading Zheng Lingyi into the room.

"Ma'am." Lu Nong burst into tears when he saw Zheng Lingyi, wiped his wet hands on the handkerchief, and then reached out to hold Zheng Lingyi's hand, and said, "What did you do to let the old lady let me go?" Have you given up anything? ”

Zheng Lingyi just laughed, and didn't answer Lu Nong's question, and objected to Lu Zhu: "The water is not too hot, take some rolling stones." ”

Lu Zhu took out two fist-sized stones from the charcoal basin with fire tongs, carefully avoided Midori's body, and put the stones in the bathtub.

The rolling stone entered the water, making a stabbing sound, and Midori felt a wave of warmth rush to the soles of her feet.

"I've got your true deed, and there will never be anything like this again." Zheng Lingyi looked at Lu Nong and said lightly, pouring warm water on her shoulder.

Lu Nong burst into tears and said, "Madam, how did you do it?" ”

Zheng Lingyi glanced at Lu Nong, and then looked at Lu Zhu, her eyes have always been clear, beautiful like a pool of lake water reflecting the moonlight.

Lu Zhu felt that she had seen through her, and this was indeed the case, she heard Zheng Lingyi say this: "Lu Zhu, in the past few days, do you think I am hypocritical? ”

"I ......

Green Bead only spat out one word, and choked.

Zheng Lingyi smiled and said, "The second sister-in-law is a good person, I shouldn't take advantage of her." I feel guilty, but I don't regret it. If I don't do this, I will also suffer the sins that Qiaoluo has suffered, and I will be tormented by this for the rest of my life. ”

Lu Zhu didn't know that Qiao Luo had been tortured by the Lu clan before, so it could be seen that Lu Nong turned her head away and closed her eyes as soon as she heard this, obviously this matter left a great shadow on her.

"Ma'am, I, I'm not. I, I didn't. Lu Zhu said nervously, and let out a sigh of relief, "It's me who is useless." ”

"It's not that you're useless, your heart isn't suitable for this house."

Zheng Lingyi's words made Lu Zhu startled, and said in a panic: "Madam, don't you want me." I was wrong, I won't be cranky in the future. ”

Zheng Ling thought that she was like this, and hurriedly reassured: "I didn't mean that, I was thinking that if you don't like the life in this mansion, I can send you to Zhuangzi and be a housekeeper." But you're still young, and the fear bomb can't suppress the people below, so you can train by my side for a few more years. ”

Lu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the tears that came out of his fright.

Zheng Lingyi's words were all for her sake, and Lu Zhu felt ashamed, but she was clumsy and speechless.

Seeing this, Lu Nong said, "Okay, don't you know our lady's temperament?" It's all right, let's go to the kitchenette and prepare some breakfast. Don't starve your masters. ”

Green beads burst into laughter, her emotions came and went quickly, and she was overjoyed.

Zheng Lingyi and Lu Nong looked at each other and smiled, Zheng Lingyi looked at her and said, "There is another good thing to say to you." ”

Midori smiled and said, "What could be better than returning to you, Madame?" ”

Zheng Lingyi whispered a few words in Lu Nong's ear, her eyes widened suddenly, her lips pulled as if she wanted to laugh, but a string of tears rolled down her eyes.

……

In the past few days waiting for the release of the list at home, Zheng Lingyi has not been out of the door, and there are rumors in Wu's family that Zheng Lingyi was beaten by Wu Punishment, and his face is injured, which is really unsightly.

As for why he beat people, because Wu Zhi felt that the exam was unfavorable, he sprinkled his anger on Zheng Lingyi.

This rumor made Wu Cheng a coward who would only vent his anger on his wife.

There has been no movement in the past few days, but today I invited a tooth woman into the house and brought more than ten girls in, saying that Jingju was short of manpower and wanted to buy a few maids.

That tooth woman is not the Wu family's habitual use, Qiao's people have asked people to investigate, saying that it is a tooth woman who connects ordinary rich families.

Probably because Zheng Lingyi couldn't afford the high-priced subordinates, so he could only buy some cheap ones.

Since this is the case, Qiao's family did not hinder much, and let Ya Po take people into the Wu family.

Lu Nong was absent-minded today, burning his skirt when picking charcoal ash, and almost stumbling and falling when he stepped up the steps.

But no one laughed at her, and Lu Zhu rushed to help her do a lot of things so that Lu Nong could be free.

In the afternoon, a roll of yarn was hung under the porch, and Lu Nong waited eagerly under the porch, until the Ya Po led the people in, but she hurried back a few steps and ran to the main house, "Madame, Madame, Ya Po is here." ”

Zheng Lingyi and Lu Zhu walked out, and when they saw Lu Nong's face flushed and her forehead shiny, she knew that she was extremely nervous, so she smiled and said, "Let's go out and have a look." The people in the south bought two maids of the same age a year, and I can't tell which one is your sister, so I can only make a deposit first, so you can recognize it. ”

Lu Nong bit his lip and nodded heavily, clenched his fists and walked out with Zheng Lingyi.

There were a few girls standing sparsely in the yard, all of whom were similar in age to Zheng Lingyi.

Looking through the hazy gauze tent, Lu Nong looked over one by one, after all, after all these years, his face has changed greatly, and Lu Nong is really a little unrecognizable.

She was so angry with herself that she was about to cry.

"Don't worry."

Zheng Lingyi sat down on the rocking chair and said a few words to Lu Zhu, and Lu Zhu said loudly to the people in the courtyard: "Huan'er, Pei'er, come forward." ”

Two girls of comparable size walked around from the side, and Lu Nong's eyes kept chasing their figures.

Lu Nong vaguely saw some traces of his father from the eyebrows and eyes of the girl on the left, and said, "Sister." ”

Huan'er also looked at her, her eyes widened suddenly, and she ran towards the car suddenly.

Her behavior is really inappropriate, but she is a green girl after all, and now the two have seen each other for the first time in many years.

Lu Nong also subconsciously walked in front of Zheng Lingyi to block the ring for her, crying and laughing and holding the girl silly for a while.

Lu Nong wiped his tears and said to Huan'er, "You haven't said hello to Mrs. yet." It was Madame who helped me get you back. ”

Huan'er looked at Zheng Lingyi timidly, her eyes hurriedly skimmed, and she tilted her body awkwardly.

Her figure is plump, her breasts are bulging, her waist is just thin, and her buttocks are full. It's just that his appearance can't compare to Lunong, no wonder one was sold into the official's house, and the other was only sold into a small portal.

"No, it should be done." Lu Nong corrected Huan'er's saluting and was blessed.

Huan'er twisted her body and saw that Lu Nong had been looking at her, obviously very persistent, so she had to follow her example and whispered, "I haven't learned these before." ”

"Weigh your slave before your wife." Midorino corrected again.

Huan'er looked at her in surprise and aggrieved, as if she didn't quite understand why Lu Nong was so strict with herself as soon as they met.

finally found her sister-in-law, and Lu Nong naturally looked forward to her staying by her side. But her current behavior can't even compare to the third-class maids in the house.

Zheng Lingyi's gaze stayed on Huan'er's deliberately tightened waist for a moment, and he looked away gently: "It's okay, just follow your sister to learn more and see more in the future." ”

Lu Nong squeezed the girl's hand and smiled gratefully at Zheng Lingyi.

Zheng Lingyi originally only planned to leave Lu Nong's sister-in-law, but that Pei'er was quite clever, and she had a good salute.

Thinking about it, she knew that she didn't have good luck with Huan'er, she was sheltered by her sister and found her thousands of miles away, and she was just naked, so she could only desperately behave in front of her master.

Even if the Wu family is not considered powerful in the court, it can be regarded as an extraordinary family for these maids.

"That's it, then you can stay." Zheng Ling thought for a moment and said.

Pei'er suddenly smiled, Huan'er glanced at her, and grabbed the green cuffs to stop talking.

Zheng Lingyi picked the strongest one among the remaining maids and asked her to help do some heavy work and groceries in the quiet house.

The maid's name was Da Chun, and when she heard that so many people had picked on herself, she was surprised and didn't know how to express it, so she stumbled and said, "Thank you, thank you, Mrs." ”

Lu Nong felt that this name was too rustic, and knew that her real surname was Zhu, so she changed her name to Zhu Yu on the spot.

After making three deals in one go, Ya Po was so happy that she didn't know how to do it, and took the silver and said to Luzhu: "Girl, tell your wife, whatever is good in the future, I will be close to her." ”

"What my wife instructed me before, I want a pleasing and capable maidservant, do you have eyebrows?"

This is the person Zheng Lingyi begged for Zheng Changchang, in order to replace Qiaoluo.

"Yo, this is really a little difficult, sister, let the villain for a few more days." That Ya Po said.

Lu Zhu didn't say much, and let Mrs. Liu watch this Ya Po and the rest of the people go out all the way, and then came to Zheng Lingyi to resume her life.
