Chapter 190: Withered Flowers
Two days later, Fangfei Temple.
Aunt Fang called Mu Zhi and instructed: "I have already given half of the work in your hands to the other maids, and from today onwards, you will concentrate on taking care of the princess's Qing Shui Lan."
"Remember to take the pot out when the weather is good and let it bask in the sun more, and water it often, but not more at a time, and ......"
"Aunt Fang......" Mu Zhi made a mischievous expression pretending to be impatient, she knew that Aunt Fang was easy-going and didn't have much to do, and over time, all the maids in the yard could more or less joke with her, "How many times have you said it!" ”
Aunt Fang smiled generously: "It's not wrong to say more, just remember it!"
"Hmm!" Mu Zhi saluted her, "Aunt Fang, go get busy, slave and maid take it to heart!" ”
Aunt Fang nodded and went busily on her own.
Mu Zhi looked at the back of Aunt Fang leaving, and there was a burst of joy in his heart.
Qing Shui Lan is delicate and needs to be taken care of, originally this Qing Shui Lan was under Aunt Fang's care, but every year at the beginning of spring, it is Aunt Fang's busiest time, so at this time, Aunt Fang will teach Qing Shui Lan to take care of her.
It's nothing more than the easy work of moving the flowers out to bask in the sun and watering them, and she can also reduce half of the things at hand for this, why wouldn't she do it?
Muzhi went into the house, took Qing Shui Lan out and put it in the yard where the sun could shine, went to the pond to scoop water, poured a little bit in the soil of the flower pot, and then went to work on his own.
At noon she came to see that the flowers were fine, and she yawned and went back to her lodging to sleep.
As the saying goes, spring is sleepy, autumn is lacking, summer is napping, and you can't sleep in winter and March.
She's sleepy.
Aunt Fang's management has always been very loose, as long as she does the assigned work well, it's okay to be lazy!
Kieda fell asleep with peace of mind, and after a long time, she heard the sound of thunder in a daze, which rumbled as if it exploded above her head, waking her up at once.
Mu Zhi got up from the bed and didn't have time to put on his coat, so he went to open the door with his shoes on.
It turned out that what I heard in the dream was not the sound of thunder, but the sound of knocking on the door.
Outside the door was a nervous maid, who knew what she was doing in the room when she saw her appearance, and said to her anxiously: "Mu Zhi, your heart is really big, Aunt Fang is crazy looking for you, you still dare to sleep here!"
"What is Aunt Fang looking for me?" Kieda only felt that she was making a fuss and asked disapprovingly.
The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know, the maid in the courtyard met me when she was looking for you, and asked me to look for it too, so I wanted to come to your residence to have a look, I heard that Aunt Fang's face is ugly!"
"Could it be that something happened to the flowers?" An ominous premonition rose in Mu Zhi's heart, and she ran out without even putting on her coat.
In the distance, Mu Zhi saw Aunt Fang standing next to the flower pot, and a group of maids were standing around her, but they were all standing loosely away from her, not daring to approach.
This battle made Mu Zhi even more panicked.
The wood branch took a closer look, and saw that the Qingshui orchid, which was fine at noon, had turned yellow on the outside of the leaves, and there were signs of withering!
"Get on your knees!"
Mu Zhi had never seen Aunt Fang so stern, so he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
Aunt Fang sternly questioned her, "Don't you know how important this flower is to the princess?"
"The slave knows ......," Mu Zhi nodded vigorously.
Aunt Fang's face did not soften because of her fear, and she still questioned her sternly: "Since you know, then tell me, how did the good flower become like this?"
Mu Zhi shook his head in a panic and said, "The slave doesn't know either, the slave only watered the flowers and didn't do anything else."
"You mean there's a problem with the watering, where are you scooping the water?" Aunt Fang asked her.
Mu Zhi pointed in the direction of the pond and whispered, "Pond ......"
As she spoke, she glanced cautiously at some of the plants planted next to the pots, which she remembered in the morning when she had poured the unused water on them.
But the flowers and plants grew well, and the leaves were bright, and they didn't look like they were going to die.
Mu Zhi's heart sank.
Aunt Fang suspiciously asked the maid to scoop a scoop of water from the pond and pour it on the flowers and plants next to her, only to see that the flowers and plants next to her did not have any reaction, Aunt Fang angrily threw the water scoop on the ground, and said coldly to Mu Zhi: "You go back first!"
Mu Zhi sat down on the ground, she knew that Aunt Fang was disappointed in her!
The maid next to her came over to pick up the wooden branches, and the wooden branches were carried back to their rooms by them.
When it was dusk, the maid who lived with him came here.
At this time, she also came back to her senses and hurriedly rushed out to inquire about the news.
The maid looked at her sympathetically and said, "When Aunt Fang is angry, it will be fine!"
"What do you mean?" Koeda let go of her hand and took a few steps back.
The maid was not surprised by her undisguised suspicion, all these years she had been in Fangfei Courtyard because of the beauty of waiting for Qing Shuilan, it was really windy and rainy, and the whole person was so proud, she would give them a little look.
She was more or less mindful of her, if Aunt Fang hadn't sent her to pass the word, she didn't want to be too arrogant, so she wouldn't pretend to be a sisterly with her!
"Aunt Fang said that I have worked hard for you for so many years, so let you go home and rest temporarily, by the way, this is what Aunt Fang gave you!" As she spoke, she took out a small bag of broken silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into Mu Zhi's hand.
Mu Zhi subconsciously retracted his hand, and the silver naturally fell to the ground.
Mu Zhi stubbornly said: "I don't want it!"
In Fangfei Courtyard, the master is not strict with his subordinates, and he gets a lot of silver, and he is sent away with such a little silver, which is really not cost-effective!
The maid's face was sad, but there was a little impatience in her eyes: "I'm just a messenger, and I can't help you with this!"
"I want to see Aunt Fang!" Mu Zhi suddenly remembered something, and rushed out of the courtyard like crazy.
The maid quickly grabbed her waist from behind and said urgently: "You can't see Aunt Fang like this, this is King Chen's Mansion, if you dare to make such a fuss, let alone take the silver and leave, you may not even have your life!"
Hearing her say this, Mu Zhi instantly calmed down.
She turned and put all her hope in the maid.
The maid suddenly had a bad feeling.
I saw Mu Zhi squat down and pick up the silver on the ground and stuff it into the maid's hand and said, "You help me go to see Aunt Fang, these are all for you!" Don't worry, I don't want you to intercede for me, you just need to help me bring a message to Aunt Fang! ”
"Really?" One sentence can be exchanged for a bag of silver, no matter what the maid thinks, it is a good deal!
Mu Zhi nodded and said, "You just said that someone can save the princess's Qing Shui Lan!"
"Who is it?" The maid asked excitedly.
Mu Zhi said warily and bluntly: "You bring the words, and you will know when the time comes!"
The maid's eyes flashed, and she nodded, "You wait, I'll go see Aunt Fang!"
