"Yo, don't you know that our lord is very conservative and will not allow his son to marry a merchant girl? Really, still a wife or a concubine. When a person like Wan marries into the Cha family, he only has the share of being a concubine. ”

As the maid spoke, she reached out and opened a box and took out the rock candy inside. I took some and put them on the cutting board and smashed them, looking at the crystal clear rock sugar, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

I grabbed a small handful casually and quickly put it in my mouth, and suddenly felt sweet, and the maid smiled with satisfaction.

If it weren't for what Wan's wanted to eat, she was afraid that she wouldn't have such a chance to eat secretly. Think about it, Wan's vicious woman doesn't deduct their monthly money less on weekdays. So they peeled a pear and soaked it in the wooden basin where they had washed their hands, and then took it out.

When the other maids saw it, each of them reached out and pinched the pear.

A slightly dark-skinned, slender maid saw it and didn't do that. As soon as the maids saw this new maid, they were all teaching her:

“…… The more we treat us as masters, the more we have to let her know how powerful we are. Come, Ume, you take a bite of the pear first. ”

"Yes, you can't bully Wan's for nothing, you have to pay it back." As she spoke, the other maid handed the peeled pear to Ume.

When Ume saw it, she felt very disgusted, but she still forcibly held back the discomfort in her heart and didn't say anything.

Wumei went to give Wan's stewed rock sugar pear paste.

While Umei was busy working on the side, the other maids were talking about her in private.

"She's just a fool, it's not good to go to someone's house to be a maid, and she comes to check the house as a maid. People like her, who were kicked out of their families and starved and had nothing to eat, came to serve them because they got a bowl of rice from the Wan family. She can only eat and live in Chafu, and even if she is busy in Chafu for a year, she can't earn a penny. It's pathetic. ”

"It's just that she didn't have enough to eat after she came. I asked her to steal something to eat like we did, and she didn't dare ...... yet."

Wumei listened, but didn't hear it, and continued to stew rock sugar pear paste. It's not because she's stupid that she came here to be a maid, but because she was entrusted by her senior brother, that is, Xue Lingyun, the fifth son of the Xue family, to come here to find out some things.

In order to be able to come to Chafu to be a maid, she thought of several ways at home, and also thought of a way out. I went to the vicinity of Wan's Silk Village, and after Wan's got off the carriage, I ran to sell it miserably.

Otherwise, the Wan family, who loves to be cheap and suspicious, will not easily believe her, and will take her back to Chafu and let her stay and serve them.

It's not that she can't see that these maids in the Chafu are all human spirits. People like Wan's who don't have much status may not be able to call them at home.

Ume didn't hear the maids talking, and she felt that something was wrong. When I looked up at them, I saw that they had peeled another pear and were eating it.

This pear can still be eaten, and when Wumei saw this scene, a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Although the senior brother's family is not particularly rich, the maids and attendants in the senior brother's mansion are all the same as the senior brother, and they eat very well.

Like the pears bought by the Cha family, there is really no shortage of them in the senior brother's house.

Master Cha is a person who has a history of assassination, and Yu Lu will definitely not be low. The people in their house are so frugal, so where did all the money earned by Lord Cha go?

Ume felt doubts in her heart.

Just as Umei was thinking, a cold female voice came from her ear:

"Why don't you stew rock sugar pear paste quickly, and after the stew is done, bring it to the young lady? If the young lady is angry, there is your good-looking ......"

Before the words fell, an old woman broke in with two old women, and the old woman who was the leader crossed her hands on her hips and said angrily:

"Without the permission of the old body, you dare to stew rock sugar pear paste here, so bold!"

The old woman said, looked back at the two old women who were following her, and waved her hand.

The other two mothers-in-law were very understanding, and immediately stepped forward and said to the maid Wumei, who was stewing pear paste in front of the stove:

"You, didn't you hear?"

Wu Mei picked up the tongs unhurriedly, shook them slightly in front of the old women, and then pointed in the direction of Wan's bedroom, and said:

"The young lady asked me to stew."

"Yo, young lady? You're afraid that it's only been a few days since you came, and you still don't know who your own master is, right? The woman stretched out her hand to snatch the tongs from Wumei's hand, and said coldly.

Wu Mei didn't give the tongs, and pretended to be very pitiful:

"This mother-in-law, the maid has indeed only been here for a few days, but the maid knows that the masters of this house are the lord and the lady. It's just that the young lady asked the maid to boil rock sugar pear paste, and the maid ......"

"You still know that the owners of this place are the lord and the lady, and that's enough." The mother-in-law raised her right hand, stretched out her hand in front of Wumei's eyes, and said imposingly:

"Cheap I, the old man thinks that you are a first-time offender, and he will only fine you five taels of silver. Hurry up and bring it, otherwise, the old man will go to tell Madame and sell you to ......"

When Ume heard this, she didn't need the old woman to say more, she could guess where they were going to sell her. So, pretending to beg bitterly.

Wan waited left and right in the bedroom, almost an hour, and didn't see those maids send her rock sugar pear cream. So let her Lang Jun go over to urge.

Cha Xinqian listened and found an entourage to go into the kitchen to have a look.

The entourage told Zha Xinqian the truth about what he had seen after he went back.

A trace of resentment crossed Zha Xinqian's eyes, and he didn't care that there were family rules at home, so he rushed to the kitchen and slapped the old woman.

said that he would come to boil rock sugar pear paste, but after he came, he didn't see it at all.

The old woman covered her face and said, "Eldest son, the rock sugar pear paste, the old body has already been brought to Lord Luo......"

The old woman said that, and quickly ran out of the kitchen.

Cha Xinqian poured all his anger on Wumei and them, and punished them for giving him two taels of silver.

Ume said confidently: "...... If this is the case, the maid will never dare to boil rock sugar pear paste in the future. ”

Zha Xinqian had no choice but to wave his hand and say:

"Yours, forget it. However, seeing that you are so good at doing things, my son will give you a chance to stay in Chafu forever and serve the lord and lady. ”

Umei felt ridiculous in her heart, and wanted her to be a slave and maid in Chafu for life, so that she could serve these thieves?

Ahh

Dream on.

In the dead of night, Umei quietly slipped out of the firewood room, changed into an ice blue robe, and after changing her appearance, she left the Chafu.

Half an hour later.

Wu Mei followed the method that Xue Lingyun had taught her, sent a letter to Lin Yue's room, and then returned to Chafu.

Yancheng Inn.

Lin Yue only opened the door a crack after hearing a slight footstep.

After a while, she saw a letter. However, as Ah Jing taught her, she was not very curious to go out to see who it was.

Lin Yue opened the letter and took a look, only to see that three important things were mentioned in it:

First, today, Luo Guogong went to Chafu before dark and had tea with Cha Rentao in a private room. It took about half an hour to come out, and instead of having dinner in Chafu, he left Chafu in a carriage.

Second, Miss Cha, that is, Cha Zhimo's mother Wan, is an angry woman in Cha's house. Because Wan was injured by the old woman of Chafu, he counted his hatred on her head and wanted people to assassinate her uncle Lu Juncheng.

But this matter was opposed by the eldest son of the Cha family.
