Grandma Cheng couldn't resist the young grandmother, so she had to pull a few baskets of silver frost charcoal out, but in the end, she didn't let go and let the master burn that kind of low-grade charcoal.

I got some charcoal, which was cheaper than the bran charcoal, and had more smoke than the bran, but it was more expensive when it was burned. It's just that there are not many changes, and there are a lot of maids and women in this inner courtyard, and they will get two or three baskets in each room, but everyone's hearts are also beautiful, so that the night will not be so cold and sleepless.

The little maids were overjoyed because they had a few baskets of charcoal, but Gui Mingyue was full of sorrow, she was worried about the days ahead. The days when the charcoal fire is over, and the current business of the major shops, it will be two or three months before Boss Long and they come back from Shihezhai.

So what to do these days?

"Sister Shen'er is back, what did the old lady ask?" When Jin Qi'er saw Yinshen'er coming back, she couldn't help but greet her and quipped: "Let me see, what did Miss Caiwei do this time for the young grandmother?" ”

"No," Yin Shen'er said coldly, and after finishing speaking, she glanced at Gui Mingyue again, and stopped talking, today she seems to have some different opinions about the third lady Gui Caiwei, but knowing that the eldest and young grandmothers are always attached to family affection, it is not good to say anything in front of her.

"Tell me, old lady, do you have something to bring me?" Gui Mingyue thought that she was angry with the old lady.

Yinshen'er remembered Mrs. Ji's words, and couldn't help but feel bored again, but she still had to report truthfully to her master.

The old lady called her this time, but it was because the day before yesterday when she went to send a letter to Boss Long for the eldest and youngest grandmother, I don't know who actually revealed this matter, the old lady said some very unpleasant things about Gui Mingyue in front of her, and the silver pendant only roughly said that except for the letter with the eldest young master, the old lady did not allow any more correspondence between the West Courtyard and the outside. Gui Mingyue and the people under him are not allowed to go out of the house.

And also specially sent people to guard near the west courtyard, to prevent thieves.

"How? We don't have to go out to buy groceries in our kitchen. Grandma Cheng immediately jumped to her feet.

"The old lady said that in the future, I will go to the public middle school to get the daily vegetables and meat." Yin Shen'er said with resentment in her heart.

"Then what's the matter, that Steward Huang is the eldest lady's person, he will definitely not give us fresh vegetables and meat, after all, what he gives is the rest of those people's picks." Jin Qi'er is quick to speak, and he breaks it with a word.

For a few days, the food on the table served to Gui Mingyue was not as good as one day.

Jin Qi'er and the others were angry and anxious, and the maids and women in the small kitchen were also powerless, and they were really powerless to deal with either old or rotten vegetable stalks, frozen fish and shrimp every day.

In the end, before Gui Mingyue had a seizure, the two cousins in the wing room were not happy at first, and directly found Gui Mingyue.

Xue Miaofu straightened her chest and took the lead, Jiang Shiyan looked dignified and generous, followed by Qingxiu who probed her brain.

As soon as the anxious Xue Miaofu stepped into the room, she shouted: "Silver Frost Charcoal!" You actually use silver frost charcoal! They used bran, and the white smoke choked her hair.

When Yinshen'er saw that they were not good, he turned cold and drove them out.

Gui Mingyue waved her hand and said lazily: "The two young ladies sit down, Qingxiu, you sit too." ”

Xue Miaofu and Jiang Shiyan Shi Ran sat down, Qingxiu didn't dare to say a word, but also sat down cautiously.

"Cut, there are really shameless people who regard themselves as masters." Jin Qi'er couldn't help but sneer quietly.

"You!" Qingxiu's face was flushed, and she was speechless in annoyance.

"Hehe, cousin-in-law, the maid in your house is really not very good, it's a dignified Hou Mansion, and it's so unruly." It was Jiang Shiyan who spoke, and at this time she was covering her mouth and laughing, and the mockery in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

"If you don't say what kind of master you have, what kind of slave you have." Xue Miaofu muttered a few words angrily.

"The two cousins came to me, I don't know if you have any advice?" Gui Mingyue rubbed her brows and asked.

Xue Miaofu said quickly: "I don't dare to give advice, it's just that we are also the cousins in this house, and the food we eat every day is simply ...... Cousin-in-law, don't you treat us as subordinates? Xue Miaofu's words were all dissatisfied.

Gui Mingyue's face remained unchanged, but she just ordered Yinshen'er to serve refreshments, twisted a piece of high pea cake and ate it carefully, and didn't say anything, letting Xue Miaofu stare dryly.

Seeing this, Jiang Shiyan immediately played a round and said with a smile: "I don't think it's my cousin's intention, the maids and daughters-in-law below sometimes do something bold to bully the master." ”

Saying that, he looked at Gui Mingyue, Gui Mingyue also softened her face this time, sighed for a while, and said, "Coincidentally, even if the two cousins don't look for me, I have something to say to the two of you." ”

Jiang Shiyan looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what she meant by saying this.

"You also know that since my things were burned, the days of the West Courtyard have been getting worse day by day," Gui Mingyue said slowly: "Although there are also monthly examples from the public middle school, but my West Courtyard is remote, and the eldest lady will inevitably not be able to take care of it...... The current days can be seen by everyone, they are very difficult, I use silver charcoal, but I also use today and no tomorrow. As for the meal, what I ate was the same as what the two cousins ate. But as the saying goes, it is easy to go from simple to luxurious, and difficult to go from luxury to simple. To tell the truth, I felt that this day was sad, and I thought to myself, after all, Miss Biao has been accustomed to fine clothes and jade food since childhood, how can she live such a bad life, if she goes back to her own house, she will not accompany me to suffer this unnecessary suffering. ”

When Jiang Shiyan heard this, this Gui clan actually drove himself away? was dumbfounded at the moment, and tugged at Xue Miaofu's sleeve uneasily.

"Humph! The dignified mansion, is it so poor as my cousin-in-law said? Xue Miaofu sneered coldly, disapproving, a few of their cousins lived in the West Courtyard, but the old lady arranged it, as long as the old lady didn't open her mouth, no one would want to get rid of them!

"The Hou Mansion is indeed big, but there are many courtyards, and the use of silver is naturally more, I ask myself if there is no virtue and can make the eldest lady special, if the two cousins continue to stay in this West Courtyard, they have to continue to burn bran charcoal and coarse tea and light rice like this, the flowers and moons of the two cousins are in the prime of their youth, why should they be spent in my West Courtyard?" Gui Mingyue said with a light smile.

"This ......" Jiang Shiyan was a little shaken by what he said, did he really want to waste a lot of time here? After all, the frustration caused by the failure of the drug was still very great. The eldest cousin went to Northern Xinjiang this time, and I don't know when he will come back.

"Hmph, don't you want to bluff us away, Cousin Yunyi is a victorious general of the Dadong Dynasty, once the class teacher returns to the dynasty, it will be the time to add glory, and the glory of the people in the West Courtyard will not be comparable to the past." Xue Miaofu was rare to be smart for a while, and immediately ridiculed her.

When Jiang Shiyan heard this, it was rare for this reckless thing to understand more clearly than he thought.

"In this way, since the two cousins insist on living in my West Courtyard permanently, then I also have a word," Gui Mingyue said: "The conditions of the West Courtyard are also like this, since it is voluntary, don't make trouble in the future because of some trivial things about food and accommodation." I think you've also heard.,I'm not a lady from a good background.,I'm not a soft and easy-to-talk person.,If you want me to stay in the West Courtyard safely.,Then you have to be more stable.。 Also, in my western courtyard, I said that whoever has rules has rules, and if there is any offense to my maids, I will ask the two cousins to take care of it. ”

After speaking, Gui Mingyue picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Please, Miss Cousin." The silver pendant got up without smiling and urged.

"Humph! What's the big deal! Let's go. Xue Miaofu didn't expect to come to Mingyue, but she was taught a lesson, but she didn't have the confidence to argue with others, if she really annoyed this woman, she might be kicked out by her right now.

Jiang Shiyan and Qingxiu in the back also hurriedly followed.

"Slow," Gui Mingyue suddenly spoke, and when she looked at Qingxiu, she said with a smile: "Miss Qingxiu was originally expected to carry her aunt, but it's pitiful, she didn't wait to carry her aunt's eldest young master and set out to ......"

Before Gui Mingyue finished speaking, Xue Miaofu immediately stabbed at Qingxiu like a knife, Su Rili Qingxiu stammered in every way, and she also said that she was a good one, it turned out that there was still this relationship, she must want to use her relationship with her cousin to get close to her cousin, this shameless bitch!

"I see that there are not many maids serving by the side of the two young ladies, why don't you let Qingxiu serve by the two of you first, so that you can get some of the brilliance and ......bearing of the two young ladies," Gui Mingyue said with a smile.

Xue Miaofu glanced at Qingxiu with disgust, and was about to refuse, she didn't want to keep this kind of cheap maid who was bent on climbing up by her side.

"Okay, Shiyan is willing to teach this Qingxiu girl well......" Jiang Shiyan agreed, this kind of person can only feel at ease if he is by his side.

"Grandma, the slave doesn't dare! The eldest young grandmother doesn't want to catch up with Qingxiu, Qingxiu just wants to serve the eldest young grandmother and the eldest young master......" Qingxiu knelt down with a puff, and pleaded despite other hardships.

How did she not know that these two cousins were elegant and generous on the surface, but behind their backs, they were all masters who were not good people, and after following them, it would be difficult to see the eldest young master again!

"Go down and serve the two cousins well." Yinshen'er said coldly, this Qingxiu has a lot of tricks behind the rights and wrongs of the eldest and younger grandmothers, presumably these two cousins are indispensable to her provocation when they come to make trouble today, and Yinshen'er has long wanted to teach her a lesson.

Fortunately, she can be regarded as "seeking benevolence" this time.

"Young grandma, the fourth young master is awake!" As soon as the two cousins came out, Grandma Jiang came in happily to report, these days Gui Mingyue instructed her to take care of Ji Yunlang's courtyard, and the tortoiseshell was there, so she followed behind the tortoiseshell. When the fourth young master woke up, she hurriedly ran back to the west courtyard to tell the young grandmother the news.

As soon as Gui Mingyue heard the news, she immediately hurried to Ji Yunlang's courtyard full of joy.

"Sister......" Ji Yunlang saw Gui Mingyue coming, struggled to sit up, as if he had something to say to her, Gui Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward, Ji Yunlang leaned into her ear, and said in a weak voice: "Ring...... The ring that Big Brother left you ......"

Ring? Ring! Gui Mingyue's heart was shocked, how could she forget this!

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Ji Yunyi handed over the ring to him in front of Wu Jingnan and Ji Yunlang.

The ring that symbolizes countless wealth, with it, as long as Wu Jingnan is found again, then the shop will be saved, but now the old lady is watching closely, and there is no way to contact the outside world.

Gui Mingyue sighed, and after Ji Yunlang finished saying those few words, he slowly fell asleep tiredly.
