Yihong cautiously approached Fu Duoduo's side, and said in a condensed voice: "The slave maid heard that the eldest lady asked Mother Zhang to find the tooth woman today, saying that the house should be rectified properly. After speaking, he looked at Fu Duoduo quite flatteringly.

Hearing this, Fu Duoduo frowned slightly, and muttered: "Is the news accurate?" ”

Yihong immediately nodded as if she was mashed, and promised: "It's not wrong, I saw Zhang's mother go out of the house this morning, and she hasn't returned yet." ”

Fu Duoduo nodded, with a plan in his heart, and took out two five-cent silver barley from his arms and secretly stuffed them into Yihong's hands, and said meaningfully: "Serve the eldest lady well, your honor is not just the treatment of a second-class maid now." ”

Respectfully took the white silver, Yihong's eyes couldn't help but shine, and she said yes again and again, and said: "Auntie's filial piety makes the slaves and maids moved, and I will follow your instructions and serve my wife carefully." As he spoke, he diligently waited for Fu Duoduo to enter the house, and led him to the hall next to the main house where the eldest lady usually entertained guests.

The eldest lady was not there, only two little girls who had not left their heads were sweeping the dust, and when they saw Fu Duoduo coming in, they hurriedly saluted her sideways, and greeted Yihong quite enthusiastically, and then continued their work.

Seeing this, Fu Duoduo glanced at Yihong, who was smiling.

Yihong bowed to Fu Duoduo and explained: "I think the wife is still busy, you sit first, and the slave maid will make you a cup of tea to warm your stomach." ”

Fuduoduo glanced at the scarlet embroidered felt curtain hanging in front of the door frame of the inner room, and nodded.

Time passed quickly, and a cup of tea passed as soon as I sat down, but I didn't see the figure of the eldest lady, and I didn't see anyone come out of the inner room to tell him more about it.

Fu Duoduo doesn't matter, he has been quietly sipping tea, waiting patiently, without a trace of impatience.

But the green chrysanthemum next to her was very restless, at first when she first stepped into the door, she was curious to look east, west, full of surprise and amazement, and sometimes made a gentle "tsk" admiration, just like Grandma Liu's novelty of visiting the Grand View Garden. But after a long time, when she looked at the whole hall, she didn't see the graceful and luxurious lady, and her heart gradually became anxious, and then she thought about the matter of whose house the big maid's seat was, and it had not been completely finalized, and the mood was even more uneasy.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Ju finally whispered to Fu Duoduo: "Auntie, my wife hasn't come out yet, do you think she forgot it?" As he spoke, he pointed to the felt curtain that had been hanging still.

Fu Duoduo glanced at the green chrysanthemum, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "Mrs. is my elder, as a junior, you have to wait for a day and a night, and you have to wait willingly, what are you anxious about?" Don't you remember what I taught you when I came? Don't always be behind other people's backs! The voice is neither light nor heavy, neither abrupt, but it can also clearly penetrate the ears of those present, and even in the inner room, as long as you listen carefully, you can hear it clearly.

was reprimanded in front of others, Green Ju was very aggrieved, and even her eyes were full of tears, which were about to roll down.

Fu Duoduo saw it a lot, and he was bored for a while, and gave Hongmei a look.

She did mean to lecture the eldest lady just now, so as to show her respect for the elderly, but she didn't mean to make Lu Ju cry. After all, crying in the courtyard of the eldest lady early in the morning, wouldn't it give her a bad head? At the moment, immediately let Hongmei coax the green chrysanthemum one or two.

Hongmei is also a person with transparent eyebrows and eyes, more or less guessing Fu Duoduo's intentions, and doesn't want to stop this trouble, but due to reality, she can only try her best to appease Lu Ju, let her take back the golden beans that she wants to drop, and said: "Lu Ju, my aunt and grandmother are also good for you, don't be sad, it's not good for others to see it." ”

It's okay to be inconsolable, as soon as Hongmei said this, tears fell down, as if she had been greatly wronged, and looked at Hongmei with watery eyes.

Hongmei secretly screamed badly, afraid that Lu Ju would be angry and couldn't help Fu Duoduo, and when she turned to her, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and looked at Fu Duoduo as if asking for help.

Fu Duoduo finally got rid of the green chrysanthemum, how could he easily pick up this trouble? Just casually glanced at the corner of the red gown from the slit of the felt curtain that blocked the light of the inner room, and this was also the time to gather the red plum, weighed it, Fu Duoduo said to the green chrysanthemum: "Don't cry!" This is in the wife's house, let others see it, maybe how to arrange it? Besides, I just said a few words to you, as if I had been wronged or something, do you want me to apologize to you before you can stop? The tone was slightly pleading.

No matter how green chrysanthemum didn't know what to do, she also knew that she couldn't cry anymore, so she could only sobbed and shook her head, saying that she didn't dare.

At this moment, a pair of well-maintained white and tender wattles opened the thick scarlet felt curtain, and saw the charming red apricot, carefully waiting for the big lady wearing a big red silk black and green trimmed gown with gold all over the place.

Fu Duoduo immediately took the red plum and green chrysanthemum, stepped forward to salute, and the action was very standardized and respectful.

The eldest lady glanced at Fu Duoduo lightly, waved her hand, and said, "Get up!" So saying, he sat down on the throne of his own.

Fu Duoduo got up and stood beside him obediently, like a timid little daughter-in-law.

The eldest lady took the tea from Yihong, took a sip gently, and then asked, "Fushi, what's wrong?" How did I hear someone sobbing in the inner room? But what happened? ”

Fu Duoduo immediately knelt down with a "plop", and said tremblingly: "It's the concubine who has no way to teach, and it stained your ears early in the morning, please punish your wife!" ”

The eldest lady narrowed her eyes and said, "The punishment also has to tell the cause and effect, tell me what the hell is going on?" I heard a commotion in the inner room, but the subordinates didn't listen to you, and they made you angry? ”

Fu Duoduo glanced at Lu Ju, who was already afraid, and said slightly: "No, it's not good to be a cheap concubine." "Vaguely put things down.

The eldest lady is not a foolish person, she insists on breaking the casserole and asking to the end, it can be seen that Fu Duoduo has never been able to say the point, so the eldest lady pointed to Hongmei and said: "You say, what is going on?" Why is her eyes still red? The "she" in the mouth of the eldest lady refers to green chrysanthemum.

Hongmei looked at Fu Duoduo and looked at Green Chrysanthemum, and she didn't know what to say.

But the eldest lady didn't want to reveal it, Hongmei could only say thoughtfully: "It's nothing, it's just that my aunt said a few words about green chrysanthemum." ”

The eldest lady frowned and asked, "Just a few words, and she started crying?" ”

Hongmei nodded stubbornly, after all, this is indeed the case.

The eldest lady's face became gloomy, and she said to Fu Duoduo: "It's really difficult for you, I wanted to send two lovely people to take good care of you, but I didn't expect it to be such a good person, and I am embarrassed for you to speak for her." Since this person is so disrespectful, just when the tooth woman is coming, he will sell her, and choose a new clever one, and you don't need to bother to teach her so much. Speaking of the last sentence, the eldest lady deliberately accentuated the words, as if she knew what Fu Duoduo's intentions were.

Fu Duoduo's play was originally played for the eldest lady, and she didn't expect her to be so stupid that she couldn't see that she had another purpose.

It's just that she doesn't want to get the green chrysanthemum out now, because without her, there will be other strangers and unfamiliar people to replace her. It's not as clear as the old one, and it's not as easy to use as the old one, so as not to spend any more time running in, so Fu Duoduo pleaded earnestly for Lu Ju: "Please also ask the eldest lady to be kind, although Lu Ju doesn't understand the rules, but as long as the concubine takes a little more effort, she must understand things after all." ”

Lu Ju was already frightened, and when she saw Fu Duoduo pleading for her, she hurriedly responded, and Hongmei also spoke for her.

Hearing Fu Duoduo say this, the eldest lady was slightly stunned.

She originally thought that Fu Duoduo wanted to borrow her hand to send Lu Ju away, and she also had her own plans, so that Ya Po would come later, and let Fu Duoduo walk into the trap she had set, and she followed her words, but she didn't expect things to take a 360-degree turn, which was really unexpected.

The eldest lady pondered for a moment, looking at Fu Duoduo thoughtfully, not knowing what she was trying to do.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, the eldest lady said: "Since you have the heart to teach well, it is up to you whether this green chrysanthemum goes or stays." ”

Fu Duoduo was busy kowtowing and thanking him, Lu Ju was also crying with joy, secretly glad that there was finally no danger, and he was grateful to Fu Duoduo in his heart to speak for her, as for Hongmei, he was very annoyed, feeling that everything she did was very insidious, and he stabbed her in the back, but he pretended to be a good person and applied a plaster to her in front of people.

Hongmei has words of suffering, but she can only swallow the suffering in her stomach.

Who called Fu Duoduo is the master, and she is just a little maid, and she can only carry this black pot alive.

Fu Duoduo pondered for a moment, and then said to the eldest lady: "Madam, the concubine has a reluctant request, and I ask the wife to decide." ”

The eldest lady had been waiting for Fu Duoduo's next words, and when she saw that she finally said the purpose behind this matter, she couldn't help but say, "Just say something." But he didn't answer.

Fu Duoduo said word by word: "The concubine now has four personal maids beside her, including the spring welcome and spring blessing that the eldest young master once served, and the red plum and green chrysanthemum you gave to the concubine. But the people are complete, the ranks are not divided, and the concubines don't know much about the rules of the Yu Mansion, so please give me some advice, who is suitable for the big girl? lest there be no rules, none of them are big or small, and none of them are suppressed, and similar incidents will arise again. ”

The eldest lady's expression was dignified, and she finally understood the true meaning of Fu Duoduo's trouble.

It turned out that she was going to push the difference that offended people to her, and she also cleverly said that she didn't understand the rules of Yufu, so she couldn't shirk it at all, so she could only take it stubbornly.

However, you have a good plan, and I have a bridge and ladder.

The eldest lady muttered: "The rules of the Yu Mansion are virtuous, and only those who are talented can be promoted." You should know about the affairs of your house, and I don't want to say anything. ”
