"What's the matter, my dear second sister?"
Xie Chuyao's voice came from the house, but the person was nowhere to be seen.
Xie Yiyu saw that Xie Chuyao did not come out, but greeted him in a strange tone of yin and yang, and the anger suddenly became even greater!
"Okay, Xie Chuyao, now you dare to take my words as a deaf ear! If I don't teach you a good lesson, I think you'll forget what you are! ”
"What am I? My good sister who bothered me told me that I really didn't know. As for taking your word for granted...... Scold! Xie Chuyao chuckled, "A concubine in the second aunt's room dares to talk to Miss Ben in this tone?" ”
"You!" Xie was speechless, and his face turned into a pig's liver color with anger, "Xie Chuyao, you are crazy!" What are you still doing in a daze, let me go up and teach her a lesson! ”
She angrily kicked the two maids behind her, eager to beat them as Xie Chuyao.
The two maids were kicked and staggered, for fear of being kicked again, so they immediately rushed into the house, wanting to tie up Xie Chuyao and beat him up as before.
But now is different from the past, as soon as the two of them entered the house, they were suppressed to the ground by a few maids in Xie Chuyao's small broken courtyard, unable to move.
"Tsk...... You say, "Do we count this as bullying the less?" Xie Chuyao leisurely crossed Erlang's legs and supported his chin with one hand.
As soon as Xie Yiyu saw this scene, he instantly showed a fierce look of wanting to devour Xie Chuyao alive.
"Xie Chuyao, you slut!" She roared, "You wait for me!" ”
After shouting, Xie Yiyu ran all the way away.
Xie Chuyao rolled her eyes at the air, small, still want to fight her?
"Alright, throw these two girls out of me, and then go and invite the housekeeper over."
According to Xie Chuyao's existing memory, although the housekeeper was lukewarm to his eldest lady in the past, he was one of the few people in this mansion who would not oppress him with the crowd.
This steward is a man who understands, does not offend either side, and has always been a bystander.
The maid soon brought in a butler.
The housekeeper's surname is Yu, and he has been working in the Xie family since his ancestors, and he is loyal to the Xie family and reliable in his work, so he has won the trust of General Xie.
As soon as she saw the butler's figure, Xie Chuyao immediately stood up from the stool and bowed slightly to the butler.
"Uncle Yu."
When Steward Yu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Oh, I can't help it!" Miss, how can the old slave afford your uncle? ”
Xie Chuyao smiled slightly, "Uncle Yu has been in this family much longer than me, and he has paid so much for Xie Mansion, how can he not afford it?" ”
Steward Yu was a little stunned, why did today's eldest lady feel like a different person?
In the past, let alone find someone to invite him over, even if there was something, he didn't dare to send someone to him.
And he was stuffy in the yard all day, and he could stay all day without saying a word.
"That's what an old slave should do." He couldn't figure out what was going on, and while laughing, he secretly observed, "I don't know what happened when the eldest lady asked the old slave to come over?" ”
Xie Chuyao's eyebrows were crooked, and he glanced at Lu Zhu, who immediately asked the housekeeper to sit down and poured hot water for him.
She has no tea leaves, so only with hot water.
"Just thinking about it, it seems that I haven't seen Uncle Yu for some days, so I invite you to come and sit and talk. You are the only elder in this family who protects me now, I used to be ignorant, and I neglected you everywhere, and I hope that Uncle Yu can forgive me for my ignorance. ”
When Uncle Yu heard this, he panicked.
But after all, he is a person who has seen the world, and there is not a trace of cracks on his face.
He laughed dryly twice, "The eldest lady is serious. ”
Xie Chuyao chuckled, noncommittal.
"I don't know how long it will take for my father to come back, Uncle Yu, you said that it's autumn, can my father come back?"
"This ...... The old slave didn't know, but the old man had family letters, and they were all sent to the second lady's room. ”
Xie Chuyao raised her eyebrows, family letter?
"It's all sent to the second aunt?"
The expression on Steward Yu's face froze, "Not really, but these family letters have always been handed over to the second lady to take care of, and then distributed to the other three ladies through the second lady." ”
Listening to Steward Yu's words, Xie Chuyao couldn't help but sneer.
She remembered that not only did she not receive the letter from home, but also her aunts and cousins in other rooms.
Her father still loves his children very much, if he sends a letter to his family, even if he doesn't write it to his aunts, then his brothers and sisters should always have it.
But over the years, in her memory, every time a letter was sent back, her brothers and sisters would complain that her father would always have only the second aunt and the second sister in his heart.
In my memory, I don't have a very deep impression of the other aunts, and I don't negotiate much, but those younger brothers and sisters often bully themselves with Xie Yiyu, so I have some impressions.
Thinking of this, Xie Chuyao changed the topic.
"Uncle Yu, I have been bored in the house all the year round, and I have almost forgotten what the third, fourth and fifth aunts look like. I thought about greeting them, but I was afraid that I would be embarrassed that I had misremembered someone. ”
Steward Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"This ...... In this way, the old slave will tell you about the preferences of several ladies. ”
Xie Chuyao hurriedly nodded.
"The third lady loves gorgeous things, the courtyard is planted with red and purple flowers all the year round, and the jewelry and clothes are also bought with bright colors, and the third lady and the little master also follow the temperament of the third lady, and their personalities are cheerful and refreshing. The fourth lady likes to be quiet, prefers plain things, and the diet on weekdays is also very light, the fourth lady is frail and sickly, and she is bedridden all the year round, and her body has always been the worry of the fourth lady. As for the fifth lady, the fifth lady entered the door the latest and has never conceived a child, but she has a pungent personality and knows how to be soft in front of the master, so even if she has no heirs, she will not be bullied. ”
After listening to Steward Yu's words, Xie Chuyao immediately made a judgment.
If she wants to gain a foothold in Xie Mansion and fight with her second aunt and Xie Yiyu, she must win over others. Among the three aunts, the fourth aunt is the one Xie Chuyao is most sure to take.
There is no other reason, just because the fourth lady has a weak and sickly daughter, and she is not very good at anything else, but her medical skills are first-class.
After sending Steward Yu away, Xie Chuyao finally ate.
The kitchen still hasn't prepared anything good for her, but as long as she can fill her stomach, these accounts will be calculated slowly.
"Red Rose, how much silver do we have left?"
Hongqiang is usually responsible for managing the monthly silver consumption, and she reported the number at once.
Tut...... It's really hard to do with only that little money.
Then tomorrow, I can only go to see the fourth aunt empty-handed.
And Xie Yiyu, who returned to his courtyard, began to drop things as soon as he entered the house.
The second lady looked at Xie Yiyu with a displeased face, and wondered how she had given birth to such a useless daughter.
"It's useless for you to make a fuss here, but to make that little slut see the joke! Tomorrow you go to her with your mother, and you must let her know what she is! ”
Xie Yiyu listened, and his mood gradually stabilized.
She gritted her teeth fiercely, "I'm going to make her worse than dead!" ”
