52 cannon fodder
After returning to Wulan Pavilion, Ruqing said to Li: "Mother, there is something my daughter doesn't understand very well, and I want to ask my mother." ”
The Li family is settling accounts, there has been a lot of harvest in Zhuangzi recently, and the rent paid by Diannong is enough for Fangfu for a whole year, and he is in a good mood.
Ruqing said very seriously: "Mother, it stands to reason that Yahuan follows the master, so she has to do things for the master wholeheartedly, although she can't talk about filial piety, but she also has to obey the master's orders, right?" ”
The Li family has been in charge of the servants of the Fang Mansion, and when Ruqing said this, she immediately heard that something was wrong, "What?" Are there minions that make you angry? ”
Ruqing shook her head, "Although Ruqing is only a concubine, she is protected by her mother, and no one dares to be angry with her daughter." It's just that the maid ring next to her daughter eats her mother's food, but she helps others do things, and her daughter is not angry, which is what makes her mother. She paused, looked at Li's face, and said: "Xia Zhu was originally a personal maid ring assigned by her mother to her daughter, but this girl often obeys Aunt Zhang's orders, her mother has always been kind and has always been kind to the girls around her, but there is such a thing around her daughter, and the daughter feels that she can't stand her mother." Please forgive your mother. As he spoke, he knelt down, looking genuinely frightened.
Li finally understood, and the anger came up all of a sudden, and immediately ordered Liu's mother to bring Xia Zhu in.
As soon as Xia Zhu came in, he was scolded by the Li family, "Okay, you cheap hooves who eat inside and out, I don't treat you well, you are so attentive to that head, what do I want you to do?" Mother Liu, tie up this little slut for me, throw it into the firewood room, and then go find someone to sell her. I can't get this kind of stuff inside and out. ”
By the time Xia Zhu finally understood what was going on, it was already too late, his hands and legs had been tied up by Liu's mother, and his voice that wanted to shout injustice was also gagged by a stinky cloth.
However, Ruqing also received Xia Zhu's resentful light, she turned her head and comforted herself in her heart, don't blame me for being ruthless, in fact, I was forced to be impatient, if I want to survive in the inner courtyard, not to mention how high the combat effectiveness is, at least I have to ensure that my backyard does not catch fire.
If there is a fire in the backyard, then what kind of battle is there to talk about? It was directly cannon fodder and was shaded. In the battle of the inner house, the maid ring around him should also be counted as a part of the combat effectiveness, so that his backyard is strictly managed, and he gets twice the result with half the effort. If one makes it bad, it is that I don't know how to die.
The Li family sent down Xia Zhu, and the remaining anger did not subside, and he was angry and sent down some subordinates who were not able to do things, and the first to bear the brunt was the old mothers and a few little girls around Ruqing. These usually serve Ruqing weakly, all received a charge of "waiting for the master is not effective", and they were all thrown into the Zhuangzi, and the little girls were also beaten and sold, and in the afternoon, there was only one Shen Pozi and a little girl named Linglong left around Ruqing.
Li Shi sent all the subordinates around Ruqing behind, and said to Ruqing apologetically, "You stupid boy, these hateful minions are so cheap to you, why did you delay talking to me until now?" ”
Ruqing's eyes flashed, "Mother is very hard to take care of the housework, how can my daughter bother you with these little things?" But whoever can get by, her daughter turns a blind eye. But that Xia Zhu is really hateful, so blatantly obeying Aunt Zhang's orders in front of her daughter. The daughter can't make the master prestigious, but she can't let a slave with a different heart come out of the mother's yard. ”
Li Shi was moved, and hugged Ruqing and screamed at the good child.

The first day was still sunny and the sky was clear, and on the second day, it began to drizzle, although the rain was not heavy, but it stopped Rumei's little feet from running out, and at the moment she was sitting on the rosewood hat chair with a sullen mouth.
However, Li was in a good mood.
Ruqing found that Li was not only kind to herself, but also extremely gentle to her mother, which made Zhu flattered and became more and more respectful to Li.
Li took the handkerchief handed by Zhu, wiped his hands, a pair of sharp phoenix eyes swept over Zhu's low-hanging face, Zhu became more and more frightened under her majestic gaze, and the hand holding the basin couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Seeing Zhu's actions in his eyes, Li was in a good mood, patted Zhu's hand gently, and said kindly: "You have been in our mansion for several years, you have always followed the rules and never made trouble, the old lady and the old man are very satisfied, and always tell me not to be harsh on your mother and daughter." Look at your daily morning and dusk, never overstepping, and it is very cute if it is sunny. This Mother Liu is really discerning. Unlike that one, he always likes to cause trouble, which makes people angry and hateful. Although his face was angry, his tone was pleasant.
Zhu Shi was blindsided and looked at Ruqing at a loss.
Ruqing shook her head slightly at her mother, saying that it was okay, and now, she finally understood that there was nothing that could make the Li family so happy than the Zhang family's deflatedness.
It's just that Ruqing thinks about it carefully, Zhang's is still in the grounding, and this time she caused something, it is estimated that Fang Jinglan is really angry, and she hasn't gone there for more than a month, and Zhang's is estimated to be depressed.
However, if the Li family is so happy because of such a trivial matter, it will inevitably be too underestimated.
Because Zhang's is not an ordinary concubine, she has a son and a daughter, a very decent concubine, and her cheap father Fang Jinglan, although machismo is serious, is not a ruthless person after all, even if he hates Zhang's at the moment, but his affection is always there, and he will not really be ruthless and abandon him, plus under the cold sidelines over the years, this Zhang family is not a simple person, how can he fall out of favor so easily, a few days ago, Ruqing also heard that Fang Jinglan took the initiative to go to Yiqingxuan and stayed for several nights.
It's just that the smugness and schadenfreude on Li's face are so obvious, and he has sorted out the recent affairs of the Fang Mansion, and Ruqing can't find such a happy event that makes the Li family happy.
