Chapter 19: The Pre-Departure Interlude

And in Baizhu Courtyard, another courtyard in Liufu, the dialogue between master and servant is not very harmonious, even mean.

In the evening, the old woman who kept cursing others now restrained her afternoon arrogance.

With her own fat piled up a disgusting smile, she knew who she usually relied on, so she didn't dare to dominate in front of her master.

"Tonight, what's the matter with you, I called you in the courtyard for a long time, but no one answered, but fortunately the maids said you weren't there."

Li Qiu'er said coldly to Mrs. Zhang who was standing in front of her, although she hated Mrs. Zhang's face, that face that would only be annoying in this life, but she couldn't do without Mrs. Zhang, because she could only trust Mrs. Zhang.

said that she is also pathetic, in the huge courtyard, there are only a few people who can be trusted, she, Mrs. Zhang, and her son Liu An.

After all, Liu An is her foothold, if there is no son, the lord may not shelter her, and the one she once served the young lady, but she will never let her go.

Even so, she had to be very careful and walk on thin ice.

And the best example is the naΓ―ve young lady of the big family, who fought hard for love at the beginning, but died in the end.

And she died very strangely, and as soon as the lord lost interest in her, he soon fell ill, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and he left within a few years.

Later, there was a maid in her yard, and then she disappeared inexplicably.

This series of things can't help but make people think about it, so even if Liu Wen doted on her again, she Li Qiu'er was respectful to this former young lady, not to mention that now she is also out of favor.

The one who knows the master best must be the maid by her side, so Li Qiu'er also knows Li Lu very well.

"Back to the master, the basket used by the old slave to dry his clothes was damaged, so he delayed the master's time, please spare me this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang knelt down without hesitation, and even the ground shook a little.

"Do you know who it is?"

After she finished speaking, she was also thinking about who would use such a low trick, just like a child's playful prank.

Miss, it shouldn't be, she's busy fighting with the "newcomer" now, and it's this kind of trick, not her style.

Over there in Qingzhu Courtyard, there are only a few old and young, relying on the guilt and favor of the master, there was able to survive, although the kid is very intelligent, and he is also a low-key person, and he will never be publicized.

Who could it be?

"Back to the master, the old slave didn't know, but when he arrived, the thing was already broken, and no one saw it."

"Get up, deduct your money for three days, and don't make an example, and then go and change to two new ones."

Mrs. Zhang knew that her master had let her go, so she got ready.

The weight of her whole body was pressed against her knees, and she knelt for a while, causing her to get up a little trembling.

"Mrs. Zhang, what An'er has been doing lately, do you know?"

"Master, the old slave doesn't know, I've been busy preparing winter clothes for the young master recently, and Xinlan's girl is taking care of her, I don't think there will be a big problem, I don't want to call Xinlan to inquire about it in the future."

"It's okay, An'er hasn't come to see me for a few days, and I don't know what I'm up to.

You go down first, your face is disgusting if you see it too much, maybe it's because of you, An'er didn't come to see me. ”

"The old slave retired first."

Out of the house, Mrs. Zhang touched her face, not knowing what she was talking about.

In the west wing of Qingzhu Courtyard, I was showing Wang Po the results of what I had learned in the afternoon.

"Mother-in-law, look, this is my name Liu Qingzhu, and this is your mother-in-law, your name is Zhao Wang, don't you see how powerful I am."

Wang Po smiled and said, "Amazing, our second girl is the most powerful, and she is a good material for reading, if it is like singing in the play, you may also be a female champion."

Unlike my grandchildren, who can't read books all day long, and don't know a few words, even the teachers in the school are angry. ”

"By the way, mother-in-law, who is that scolding person this afternoon?"

"It's an old dog, called Mrs. Zhang, you can also call her Mrs. Zhang, she is the maid in charge of the third room, she used to bite people when she saw them, except for the big house and the uncle's side, now it is a lot more restrained."

"Then who does our hospital have an enmity with, ask me to be clear before you can rest assured."

"When Mademoiselle was here, we were very low-key, and we didn't have many enemies.

You just have to remember not to associate with the people in the big house. ”

Very well-behaved said that he would never have dealings with people in the big house.

Then, I asked Wang Po about my sister.

"That girl, I've seen it, and she has a lot of thoughts, but she's also a hard worker.

You are different from her, she is the daughter of an official eunuch, but when she was five years old, the whole family was confiscated, the entire family property was confiscated, the men were killed, and the female dependents were accepted as official maids for people to buy and sell, and then they went to Liufu. ”

It turns out that Sister Xin's life experience is so miserable, her father and brother are dead, and her mother doesn't know where she is.

No wonder she hides a little sadness, but the corners of her eyebrows are always cold.

"Then why didn't the mother-in-law recruit her in, Sister Xin, she is smart and capable, she must be able to help your mother-in-law."

"I'm not going to recruit her into the hospital, it's okay to cry all day. And the young master began to be depressed after the young lady left, and the two got together again, and this day is still passing.

I don't understand what the third room thinks, it's okay if the person in charge is a flamboyant fat woman, even the personal maid of his own young master is still a cold face. ”

I didn't know how to take over the words of the princess, so I had to ask how many grandchildren the princess had.

Wang Po said proudly: "I have four grandchildren, Zhao Jin, Zhao Yin, Zhao Tong, Zhao Tie, only Tiezi is one year younger than you, and the others are older than you, I won't say what they look like, anyway, you will see you tomorrow." ”

These four names, although it is easy for people to distinguish who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother, but how can it make people feel very casual.

But suddenly I remembered the name of my second girl, and a feeling of sympathy arose.

Hey, they're all the same people.

"Mother-in-law, I want to practice calligraphy for a while, and the young master said that it will look good if you practice more words."

I was afraid that Mrs. Wang would refuse, so I raised the name of the young master. Because although the lighting in our house burns lamp oil, lamp oil also costs money.

"It's okay, I'll continue to make the young master's winter clothes by the way."

In the oil lamp made of pottery, the wick constantly sucks the lamp oil, emitting a dim yellow light.

There is a young girl who is practicing everything she has learned during the day.

And there was an old woman on the side, who was also bowing her head and mending her clothes, and occasionally looked at some girls beside her.

When the girl finally couldn't stand the rounds of sleepiness and lay down on the table.

She went to carry her to bed, and the girl held the pen tightly and with some effort.

Finally, the lights go out, the moon is full, and the person falls asleep.
