Xu's hand patted Ah Shu's face, and a touch of mockery splashed at the corner of his mouth: "You also deserve to say that you are the person next to Old Madam Xu?" You're just a wild girl bought back by Xu Yiya's fool who fakes the fox. Xu Yiya thinks that she is in charge of the middle of the Xu Mansion, where are you, the wild slave who was bought by her, worthy of saying that you came out of my Xu Mansion! ”

Xu Shi slammed his back on the chair, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said coldly: "If you refuse to go, I will transfer you to Sili Mansion." ”

"Slave Ken, slave Ken." Ah Shu trembled.

Xu nodded, tilted his chin at Che'er, who was cleaning the inkstone, and said, "Take it and let her draw it." ”

"What?" Shu was surprised.

Che'er pulled out a piece of paper from under the table, threw it directly on the ground, and said arrogantly: "I heard that when you were in the suburbs before, you studied with Mr. Private School?" Since you can read and write, you don't need your wife to waste her tongue. See for yourself. ”

Ah Shu picked up the paper and saw it word by word, only to see that it was written on it - Wenfu Bitaoyuan Taoye Pavilion Serving Girl, the original Xufu Serving Girl on East Street in Beijing, belonging to the Chu family in Savage Village on the outskirts of the Imperial City. When he was working in the Bitao Courtyard, he embezzled seventy taels of silver from his master. Now the painting is charged.

Che'er proudly, "Let's draw." ”

As he spoke, he sent the red inkstone that had just been sharpened to Ah Shu, "Hurry up and draw." ”

Ah Shu thought about it for a while, and finally pressed his handprint on the paper.

Xu Shi accepted the paper and said with satisfaction: "In the future, if you dare to slack off in spying on Miss Yujun, Mrs. Ben will send this paper to Sili Mansion." The punishment of sitting together is not pleasant, listen to Mrs. Ben, you know? ”

Ah Shu trembled.

Watching Che'er clean up the red inkstone, she felt that the red was very dazzling, making her dizzy.

"Madam, Petal Hong asks to see you."

Xu Shi held the tea bowl and drank it slowly. Hearing the sound, she glanced at Ah Shu lightly, Che'er understood, and shouted at Ah Shu: "Get down." Without being summoned by his wife, he waited outside. ”

Ah Shu withdrew with tears, and Ying Hong smiled and lifted the curtain to come in, knelt on the ground, and replied to Xu: "Mrs. Hui's words, the slave maid inquired clearly." Ye's family drank the soup given by Aunt Gan every day, and most of his hair fell out after drinking. Now they're fighting in the nest. So the second master chose Aunt Han to accompany him. ”

Xu put down the tea bowl with a smile and said to Che'er: "Most of Ye's hair has fallen out?" Hehe, this is really self-inflicted. As far as her mouth goes, whoever talks to her, she offends whom. In a word, she can pass half a mile. Tsk, Aunt Gan actually had the guts to murder her. Why don't you just poison it! Really, not decisive enough! ”

Che'er lowered her head and smiled: "I heard that the soup is compatible with angelica, and hair loss is only the first symptom, and it will cause sores all over the body in the later stage." Ye's refusal to stop drinking angelica is a well-known thing in both governments, the medicine is mostly poisonous, and the doctor came to investigate, but he only thought that it was caused by drinking too much medicine. Aunt Gan's method is really secretive, I heard that if Miss Wen Ying hadn't accidentally spilled the soup, Ye would not have eaten it for a day, and her body felt comfortable, and she would never have thought that there was a problem with the soup. ”

Xu snorted: "The Ye family is bent on asking for a son for the second master, and he is begging for it so highly, and the angelica is bought in the house box by box, and it doesn't have any effect, which shows that the Ye family is blessed." ”

Che'er responded with flattery: "Madame has always been forgiving in her dealings, and Ye is also the wife of a mansion, but she is so mean and vicious, no wonder Aunt Gan is secretly calculating." ”

Xu Shi smiled when he heard this, gave Che'er half of the tea in his hand, and then tilted his head, put his hands in the mink-trimmed sleeves, and said in a low voice: "I really expected it to be good, the old lady has always had eyeliner on the house next door." What's going on in the house next door, sure enough, the old lady's yard can know the reason. ”

There was a hint of confusion in Xu's eyes: "I think it's strange, we don't have much contact between the two mansions, and there are records of people entering and leaving the mansion." In the past two days, the old lady has gone out in the yard with a few buying girls and kitchen girls, could it be that they contacted the eyeliner in the next house? ”

Petal Hong hurriedly said: "Although Hua Zhe is said to be a third-class maid in the old lady's yard, she is actually an old man in the Yongxiu Academy, and the first-class maids and second-class maids in the Yongxiu Monastery are all talking and laughing with Hua Zhe." Even the Han Lian is good with the flowers. Every time the slave and maid went to inquire about the news, they had to go inside to ask. The slave maid felt that it must be the maid in the small kitchen of the Yongxiu Monastery who went to the next house to inquire about the news, and then told the old lady that Han Lian was listening to her, and when Hua Zhi was laughing with Han Lian, she could inquire by the way. ”

Petal Hong said: "Actually, it doesn't matter how the old lady found out the news, that's the old lady's business, let's follow behind, there's nothing wrong." ”

Xu sighed: "The old lady is really capable. ”

In the Ewha Pavilion, the meal has already been served.

Pan'er, Mian'er stepped into Bitao Courtyard with a food box, and after walking a few steps, she saw a depressed Ashu.

Pan'er has a straightforward temperament, and she was spoiled by Aunt Xiao's leniency before, and when she saw Ah Shu's depressed face, she leaned over and said, "What are you sad about?" ”

When Ah Shu heard this, he hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was Mian'er and them, he hurriedly wiped his tears and made an excuse: "Don't be sad about anything." I just heard that my brother in the suburbs is sick, so I'm worried. ”

Pan'er saw that her eyes were swollen and asked again.

Mian'er grabbed the sleeve of her green coat and shouted in a low voice: "Don't ask, after all, people are Mrs. Lady's girl, how can there be any reason for you to ask, you don't want to be too troublesome." Let's go and deliver food to the young lady, don't delay. ”

Pan'er had no choice but to put down Ah Shu and came to the Pear Blossom Pavilion side by side with Mian'er.

Outdoors the sky was blue and clear, the clouds were like fish scales, and the sun was in the clouds, and the light cast through the patches of blue and white, illuminating a pale yellow, and shining the scale-like clouds into golden yellow.

The wind blows cold, and the house is full of warm fragrance.

Caizhu Caixiu went to open the door of the west room, and after the dishes were arranged, he invited Yujun and Mama Guan to eat.

The things in Mingxin's small kitchen are indeed delicious, and Mama Guan gave a rough indication after eating, but she didn't dare to say more because of Xu's instructions, but she just roughly helped Yujun adjust some etiquette movements, and then told Yujun that the ritual starts every day, and you must get up early.

"Yujun knows."

Seeing that Yujun agreed, Mama Guan said again: "There is one more thing, that is, every year for the sacrifice, the young lady and lady in our house have to go to the old lady of the Yongxiu Monastery to ask for a peace first, and only after the old lady orders, can you go out to participate in the sacrifice." Miss Ming'er can't go directly to the side room of the ancestral hall, she should go to the old lady first. ”

Yujun agreed obediently.

Guan Mama thought about it, and Madame didn't allow herself to teach Yujun more, so she didn't talk much, sat for a while, watched Yujun practice etiquette, and then made an excuse, and left with a lot of emotion.

Yujun wrung out the handkerchief, wiped her mouth and wiped her face

When Pan'er saw Mama Guan leaving, she said to Yujun, who was wiping her mouth and wiping her face, "Does Miss think today's cured pork ribs bibimbap and shrimp egg shortener are delicious?" ”

Yujun touched the wet face handkerchief, put her little head up and down, and affirmed: "The shrimp souffle is delicious." ”

Pan'er grinned: "The shrimp in the shrimp soufflé was peeled by Jiu'er last night, and then boiled for half an hour, and the soup was used to fry eggs, make an egg shop, and the shrimp and green onions, oyster sauce, and sake were marinated all night, and then taken out at noon today and wrapped in the egg shop to make shrimp souffle rolls." Jiu'er said that Miss was deeply kind to her, and she had nothing to repay, so she could only redouble her heart on this diet and make excellent things to repay Miss. ”

Yujun nodded and said: "It's embarrassing for her, you tell Jiu'er, just make it delicious, and you don't have to change tricks every day, as long as you can eat it, it tastes good, and if you do too much, I'm afraid that other yards will know about it, and they will say that I have a lot of things." ”
