Chapter 246: Reason (1) Grand Chapter
Gu Yutang saw at a glance that the little maid was newly allocated from the house. If not, when she just entered the door, she should have saluted her first, instead of passing over her and talking to Chunyan.
Besides, most of the little maids in the house have more or less heard of her, and that little maid clearly looks like she has never seen herself and doesn't know her identity.
Chunyan listened to Gu Yutang relieving the little maid, and planned to give Gu Yutang face, so she didn't embarrass the maid too much, so she said.
"Since the third girl is speaking for you, I will not pursue your reckless behavior today. If you are so reckless and unruly next time, you will not be as lucky as today to meet the third girl to speak for you. ”
The maid knew that it was Gu Yutang who spoke for her, and desperately suppressed the tears that were about to overflow in her eyes, and bowed to Gu Yutang.
Then he said: "The slave and maid thank the three girls for their kindness, the kindness of the three girls, the slave and the maid must keep it in mind, and it is unforgettable!" ”
After that, the maid was about to kneel down and kowtow to Gu Yutang.
Fortunately, Ah Hua's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the maid in time and didn't let the maid kneel, otherwise the little maid knelt down, Gu Yutang really didn't know how to end?
Ah Hua put the maid on the bamboo chair next to her and whispered a few words of comfort.
"Girl, my girl is just a gesture and can't afford to be gifted like you. But in the future, if the ladies and ladies are in the house, and you break in so recklessly, you will be punished. The other wives and girls in the house are not as good at talking and understanding as our girls. ”
"What my sister taught me is that the slave and maid understand." The maid listened to Ah Hua's words, as if she understood, and nodded incessantly.
Back to Fangcai, the maid said that Lord Mu Xiaojun had ordered someone to go to the Huimin Pharmacy in the city to ask for a doctor for the sake of Cai's family, why was it bad? Could it be that this little county lord Mu has also done something on the side?
Gu Yutang wanted to think about it, and after letting Chun Yanping retire from the maid who was waiting in the house, he left the maid alone.
Chunyan was guarding the door of the house, and Gu Yutang was in the house asking the maid.
"You just said that Lord Mu Xiaojun ordered someone to go to the Huimin Pharmacy in the city to ask for a doctor, why can't you say it? Could it be that the little county lord Mu is still doing it?"
Because Gu Yutang had just relieved her, she didn't dare to deceive Gu Yutang, so she simply told the truth.
"Third girl, the county lord called the mother who was waiting next to him to go to the Huimin Pharmacy in the city to ask for a doctor, and at the same time ordered someone to invite Aunt Hong over. said that the eldest wife of the family was sick, and the concubine who was serving by the master's side naturally had to serve by the wife's side, why didn't Aunt Hong see her?"
What did Lord Mu Xiao do when he invited Aunt Hong over? Could it be that she wanted to reprimand Aunt Hong for not doing her duty as a concubine?
Or is there a side attempt, wanting to use Aunt Hong to ask something she wants to know?
Gu Yutang thought about it in his mind for a long time, and he didn't guess the intention of the little county lord Mu, he always felt that something was wrong with this matter, and he always had to call someone over to stare at it.
After calling Ah Hua to send the little maid out, Gu Yutang called Chunyan in, intending to tell her to do something.
"Miss Chunyan, the little county lord of Mu ordered someone to invite Aunt Hong over, I look at this matter, it shouldn't be as simple as we seem.
Although Aunt Hong is a concubine, she is a good concubine married back by the sixth uncle, and it stands to reason that she does not need to serve the decoction in front of the wife of the family. Now that Lord Mu Xiaojun has invited her over, she must still be thinking about asking the side. It's about our Gu family, Sister Chunyan has served by the old lady's side again, and Sister Chunyan has been watching in the past. ”
Hearing this, Chunyan was slightly stunned, she didn't know why Gu Yutang told her to go over and stare at it?
But after all, she was assigned by Feng Lao'an's house, and she was helping Feng Lao'an deliver the news, and now Mrs. and Mu Xiaojun are talking in the house, and they don't know what they are talking about, she used to stare at it, there is no harm.
If she found out that Lord Mu and his wife were plotting something, she handed the news to the back room, and maybe she made a great contribution.
Chunyan thought so in her heart, and immediately replied.
"Thank you for the reminder of the third girl, the slave will definitely keep an eye on the every move of the wife and the little county lord Mu, if the little county lord really asks Aunt Hong something, the slave will definitely tell the maid to come and report to you."
Chunyan was assigned by Old Madam Feng, and the purpose of Old Madam Feng assigning her over was to keep an eye on every move in Cai's house, listen to the news in Cai's house, and then hand the news back to the back room.
She just found an excuse, not only sent Chunyan over to find out the news, but also asked her to deliver the news to the back room.
In the inner room next door, Lord Mu Xiaojun was holding a bowl of freshly fried medicine from the pantry, and while holding a blue and white porcelain lotus-patterned spoon, he fed the medicine to Cai's family.
"Auntie, this is a new decoction prescribed by the doctor of Huimin Pharmacy, although it smells a little bad, but it is beneficial to my aunt's illness and not harmful! No matter what my aunt says, she has to use some of it! Lord Mu Xiaojun persuaded a few words in a row, but the Cai family waved their hands and didn't drink the medicine.
"County Lord, I know my body, even the heavenly Daluo Immortal descended to earth and gave me a panacea, but it was useless. Now do what God tells me to do. ”
After Cai's words, he waved his hand to Chunyan who was waiting beside him, and Chunyan immediately took the bowl of soup medicine in the hand of Lord Mu Xiaojun and put it on the side of Gao Ji.
Lord Mu looked at Cai's emaciated appearance, and his speech was weak, obviously he didn't have much time to live.
If you don't need some tonic decoction, maybe it will be gone that day.
She finally avoided the search of Mu Wangfu and came to Pengpu, thinking that she could stay in Gu Mansion for a while by virtue of her kinship with Cai. If the Cai family is gone, why should she continue to stay in the Gu Mansion?
That's why she ordered the little maid to invite Aunt Hong over, and discussed all this with Aunt Hong in front of Cai's family, and after Cai's death, she could continue to live in Gufu.
Seeing that Lord Mu didn't speak for a long time, Cai thought she was tired, and raised his hand to order the little maid to take her down to rest.
"County Lord, it's time for lunch, if you don't like the light food in the kitchenette in my house, stay and use some!" Between our aunts and nephews, it's better to say something more. ”
Hearing Cai's words, Lord Mu Xiaojun realized that he was indeed a little hungry, smiled faintly, and replied.
"That being the case, my niece is in my aunt's room, so let's have lunch and then leave! I have long heard that the mother-in-law in my aunt's small kitchen is the best in the whole Gu family, and the white chopped chicken she makes is also the most famous. When my niece had lunch, she wanted to try the white chopped chicken. ”
Hearing that Lord Mu Xiaojun praised the food made by the cook in her courtyard for being delicious, Cai's face also had a smile on his face.
The original haggard face looks a little hideous at the moment, but fortunately, people already have spirits and spirits, and they don't have the breath of sickness. Cai's stood up with the support of Chunyan beside her, and sat in front of the bronze mirror on the side, wanting Chunyan to redress for her.
"Chunyan, since the county lord wants to eat the white chopped chicken in our yard, call a little maid to tell Aunt Ma in the small kitchen to make a white chopped chicken when Aunt Ma has lunch."
While instructing Chunyan, Cai called out to the two maids standing in the room, took off the hosta hairpin rings on her hair bun for her, and prepared to comb her hair in a bun again.
Chunyan got Cai's order, and immediately led the little maid to the small kitchen, and when she passed by the little county lord Mu, she saw that the little county lord Mu glared at her fiercely, as if she was snooping on something.
Chunyan didn't dare to stay longer, bowed to Mu Xiaojun Lord, and led the little maid behind her to go out in a hurry.
Lord Mu looked at Chunyan's back and asked Cai, who was grooming.
"Auntie, where did that maid come from? Seeing that she was born well, she must have done things properly, otherwise her aunt would not have told the maid to do everything. ”
Cai's two maids around him fiddled with the scattered long hair, and he picked out a blue jade butterfly hairpin from the hand jewelry box next to the lipstick box, put it in the hair for a long time, and looked at the bronze mirror a few more times, and felt that it was not appropriate, so he put it on the dressing table in front of him.
Seeing that the little county lord Mu was talking about Chunyan, Cai thought for a long time, and finally said.
"That maid was personally sent by Old Madam Feng to serve me, she was originally by Old Madam Feng's side, except for Zijuan and Swift, she is the most useful.
Old Madam Feng thought that there was no maid in charge in my house, and those maids below were young, so she didn't have much to do, so she was called to my house. ”
Hearing Cai's words, Mu Xiaojun Lord couldn't help but have a skeptical look on his face, that maid was the most useful maid by Feng Lao'an's side, how could she easily call Cai's side to serve? Where would she give up?
Unless!
Unless the maid was a spy buried by Feng Lao'an's side by Cai's side, specifically to listen to Cai's every move in the house, and then secretly reported to the back room.
My aunt, isn't she sick and stupid, she has been a housekeeper for so many years, why can't she even see this little trick of Feng Laoanren? also let the maid serve closely, and the big and small things in the house are also left to her to decide, how can this be done?
Lord Mu Xiaojun thought so in his heart, and finally persuaded Cai's family.
"Auntie, since you know that the maid was originally a maid that Feng Lao'an was personally serving, how could she be placed by your side and serve you closely? Bao Buqi's maid was sent by Feng Lao'an to listen to you, and secretly asked someone to hand over every move in your house to Feng Lao'an. ”
When Cai heard this, he looked at the little county lord Mu in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.
How could she not know about Feng Lao'anren's attempt to send Chunyan over? Even if she knew, Feng Lao'an had already sent everyone over, could it be that she had to return them?
Besides, since the death of Bijuan's maid, there is not even a person in charge in his own house. I've been sick all the time, where can I take care of the trivial things of the little maid below?
Feng Lao'an pointed Chunyan over, firstly, to find out the news in her house, and secondly, to manage the maids below, so that the big and small things in the courtyard would not be messed up. So for Chunyan to report all the big and small things in Ruiyue Courtyard to the back room, she opened one eye and closed one eye.
"County Lord, my aunt doesn't have much to live, and now it's a day to go, a day. Even if Feng Lao'an assigned Chunyan to come over to inquire about my every move in the house, he could help me take care of the maids below, so as not to make a mess in Ruiyue Courtyard. Cai Shi was in a hurry for a while, and began to cough while covering his face.
Seeing that Cai's leap became more and more violent, Lord Mu hurriedly asked the maid to pour the tea and hand it to Cai.
After taking the tea cup from the maid, Cai hurriedly took a few sips, and finally suppressed the stinging sensation in his throat. However, the person was also red-faced, and his face, which was extremely pale before, gradually showed a little red at this moment.
Lying on the soft couch behind him, Cai Shi grabbed the big pillow beside him, gasping for breath, obviously terminally ill and unable to return to the sky.
Cai's current appearance, I'm afraid that she is only hanging for a breath, I thought she was in good health, but I didn't expect that she was desperately holding on.
"Auntie, let's take care of it! The big and small things in the house, just leave it to the people below to do! After Lord Mu finished speaking, he got up from the stool and was about to push the door out.
Just as Mu Xiaojun pushed the door out, the maid she had sent to invite Aunt Hong came back, walked to Mu Xiaojun's side, and said a few words softly in a voice that only she could hear.
"County Lord, Aunt Hong has already come, and she is in the front hall at the moment. He said that he had brought some tonic herbs and was going to take them to his wife. ”
Hearing what the maid said, Lord Mu Xiaojun turned his head and glanced at the Cai family who was lying on the couch, extremely weak. "You call a maid to reply, and say that your aunt has rested, let her wait in the front hall, I have something to discuss with her."
The maid said "yes," and hurried over.
Gu Yutang was in the ear room next door, and he had already heard every move in Cai's house clearly. The sixth uncle should have known that Chunyan was sent by Old Madam Feng to inquire about the news, but because of the situation, she didn't expose it.
Besides, Ruiyue Courtyard is well kept by Chunyan, if you kick her out, where can you find such a sophisticated maid?
Ah Hua listened to Mu Xiaojun's words, obviously he wanted to discuss something with Aunt Hong, but Mu Xiaojun and Aunt Hong had no communication, so he invited Aunt Hong over, what did he want to say?
"Girl, do you want us to go to the front hall to have a look, and see what idea the little county lord Mu has in his heart, and what to discuss with Aunt Hong?"
Ah Hua said, glancing at Gu Yutang, who had no reaction in front of him.
"Since Lord Mu Xiaojun invited Aunt Hong over, he must have something very important to discuss with her. After the death of the sixth uncle, the sixth uncle's favorite candidate for the eldest wife is Aunt Hong. And Aunt Hong has also learned housekeeping with Mrs. Feng for a few days, and with the support of the sixth uncle, Mrs. Feng will not say anything about it. ”
Gu Yutang had a small abacus in her heart, and told Ah Hua everything she thought in her heart.
"Won't the girl go to the antechamber and have a look? Maybe the little county lord Mu is discussing with Aunt Hong about murdering his wife?" Ah Hua didn't know what his girl thought, so he said a few words casually.
"No, it won't. Aunt Hong and the sixth uncle have no grievances, and they will never do such a stupid thing. Besides, Lord Mu Xiaojun is the niece of the sixth uncle, and now she can live in the mansion completely because of the sixth uncle, and she will not do such a stupid thing. ”
Gu Yutang said, as if she had figured out something, and then said everything she thought in her heart.
"The only thing that Lord Mu Xiaojun can discuss with Aunt Hong is the matter of living in the Gu Mansion. Mu Xiaojun Lord is a pengpu who escaped from marriage, Mu Wangfu has sent a secret guard to Yunnan to find her, and it is very likely that Old Madam Feng will refuse to take in Mu Xiaojun Lord for this matter, so as not to get into trouble. ”
As early as two days ago, when she went to her grandmother's house to ask for peace, the Lin family in Zhengding wrote a letter to her grandmother and told her grandmother about the Pingning Hou Mansion.
The eldest son of the Pingning Marquis Mansion promised the little county lord of Lijiang Muwangfu as his wife. Not long after the wedding date, the little county lord of Mu Wangfu fled from Mu Wangfu with the maids who were waiting around him, and fled to the Chengjiang Pengpu area.
King Mu and his wife have already found the newly appointed prefect of Chengjiang and are looking for the little county lord in Chengjiang. But no one knew that this little county lord Mu actually lived in their mansion?
If King Mu and his wife knew that they were the ones who shielded Lord Mu Xiaojun, then the entire Gu family would definitely be implicated by her.
Therefore, Gu Yutang came over this time to persuade the Cai family to send away the plague god Mu Xiaojun, otherwise the entire Gu family would suffer from her.
I didn't think about this Mu Xiaojun Lord, thinking that Cai's was useless, so I called Aunt Hong over, and wanted to intercede with Aunt Hong, where is it so easy?
Listening to what Gu Yutang said, Ah Hua seemed to have some understanding, so he said.
"The girl said that Lord Mu Xiaojun was a pengpu who had escaped from marriage, and that he could borrow money to live in the mansion was completely following the path of Mrs. Cai. Seeing that Mrs. Cai was not successful, she invited Aunt Hong over, and wanted to follow the path of Aunt Hong, continue to live in the mansion, and avoid the investigation of the palace. ”
"The child can be taught, but I didn't think about it, even Ah Hua, an elm head, can think about these things clearly. If you continue to keep the little county lord Mu in the mansion, you will only get into trouble, so it is better to take advantage of the illness of the sixth uncle and mother to send this plague god out. ”
Gu Yutang said, took Ah Hua's hand and walked towards the front hall.
In the front hall, Aunt Hong had been sitting in the house and waiting for a long time, and the maid Yulan who was waiting beside her looked at the little county lord Mu who was late, thinking that she was deliberately putting up a shelf for her master, and complained a few words.
"Auntie, it's clear that the little county lord Mu invited you over! Now that you're here, she's fine, it's not there yet! What a wait! Magnolia said, walking around the room without stopping.
"Magnolia, just rest! If you continue like this, I'm afraid that before the little county lord Mu comes, my eyes will already be spent. ”
Aunt Hong said, her face gradually became a little ugly, and she held the tea cup next to her and drank it all.
What kind of bullshit little county lord is this? Call her to sit in this room, she hasn't come yet, I don't know what the hell is going on.
Suddenly, as soon as Aunt Hong looked up, she saw three or four little maids, surrounded by the little county lord Mu and walked in.
Lord Mu walked into the front hall, looked at the furnishings in the room, and finally looked at Aunt Hong, who was sitting on a high chair.
Sitting on the main seat in the house, Lord Mu Xiaojun said to Aunt Hong: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late." I didn't expect my aunt to come so early, I knew that my aunt came so early, I should have let my aunt come after lunch. ”
Lord Mu did not explain why he was late.
only said that Aunt Hong would come back after lunch, could it be that she was going to have lunch?
Call yourself over early, leave here, and have an empty stomach. She went to lunch? This little county lord Mu really has a bit of the arrogance and wanton appearance of the royal relatives.
Aunt Hong suppressed the anger in her heart, kept her face calm, and said, "I don't know what the county lord called the concubine to come over, what is he going to discuss?"
It's best that this little county lord Mu said something important, if she called her over, it would be for some trivial things, but she couldn't help it.
