Chapter 153: Threat
Jinxiu didn't say anything more. just glanced at the basin in Chunying's hand and said, "This is to wait for Miss to wash her face?" The housekeeper is in the house, and it is not very convenient at this time, so you can withdraw and bring water up when the people are gone. Then he turned back into the house.
Chunying saw a screen in the house from afar, and in front of the screen sat a man in his forties and fifties, wearing muslin clothes, bowing his head respectfully and replying, it was the housekeeper of the Huo Mansion, who was busy holding the basin and returning to the pantry.
She waited alone, and she couldn't help but think of the situation when Fang Cai Yulan bumped into her. What is Magnolia running in a panic? Looking at Jinxiu's face, I knew that it must not be a good thing, could it be that she eavesdropped again? The housekeeper of Huo Mansion is making a report to Miss Biao, it must be some housework or something, what's so good about this?
After thinking about it carefully, I temporarily changed to Magnolia before leaving, and it was also a little weird. Linglong was inexplicably injured, Nanqi obviously packed up her things early in the morning, and followed Miss Biao to the old lady to say goodbye, how could she disappear halfway? Her luggage was clearly in the carriage, so it was obvious that she was planning to follow. Even if you can't find someone for a while, just send someone to look for it carefully, such a big living person will never disappear, the Huo family's old house is not far from the Hou Mansion, why can't the wife wait to send Yulan? What's even more strange is that Yulan immediately followed with her luggage, when did she pack her things? It's as if I knew I was going to go out.
Chun Ying faintly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but shudder in her heart. Yulan followed the Huo family, she must have a plan, it is likely that she wanted to inquire about something, maybe she was eavesdropping on someone just now, but she was discovered by Jinxiu, and she ran away in a panic, and she accidentally bumped into herself on the way. Thinking of this, Chun Ying was also a little annoyed, now that Yahuan was born in the Hou Mansion, only the two of them were in the Huo Mansion, could Yulan stop a little? Don't bother her if something happens!
She was still angry there, but she heard someone talking loudly nearby, and when she looked closely, one of the voices looked like Magnolia's. She hesitated slightly, then chased after the voice, and saw that it was a mother-in-law who was guarding the second gate arguing with Yulan, which had attracted two daughters-in-law passing by to watch the excitement.
Yulan's face turned red, with a little anxiety in her eyes, and she scolded the mother-in-law: "Mom is so angry! I'm just going to check on my luggage, have I sent it in, do you need to make such a big call?! ”
The woman snorted, "The man who has his own luggage will send the girl's things into the yard." The girl doesn't ask people, but runs out to search the sedan chair? I don't know what the rules of the Qingguo Marquis Mansion are, I only know that in our Huo Mansion, the girls are only allowed to walk in the inner courtyard, and they are not allowed to go out of the second door without an express order! I let you out and don't care, so that the outside knows, and I think that the door of our house is not careful, so let the girls in the inner courtyard go to the outer courtyard to talk to people at will! When the time comes, my reputation will be ruined, and the housekeeper will know that she will punish me for my poor guarding, will the girl still be punished for me?! ”
Yulan was ashamed and angry, and when she saw someone coming over in the distance, she gritted her teeth for fear of alarming Miss Biao, so she turned around and left. The woman snorted lightly, grabbed a bench, put it next to the second door, and sat down.
Yulan scolded all the way back to the inner courtyard, Chun Ying coldly blocked in front of her, frowning, "What are you going to go out for?" The luggage is all in the house, Dong'er and they will help you send it to the room. ”
Yulan moved her mouth and squeaked, "Didn't I know? It's all a mess. I thought they didn't bring my stuff in. ”
"How is that possible? Those sedan chairs and entourage were all from the Hou Mansion, and the Huo family did not prepare their beds, so they naturally had to go back immediately, and the luggage was unloaded as soon as possible. Chunying stared at her suspiciously, "And what were you busy with just now?" You weren't there when we were packing up Miss Table's things, and you weren't there when I was packing my own luggage, but when you were delivering water to Miss Cousin to wash her face, you crashed into her in a panic. I don't care what you want to do, but this is not the Hou Mansion, now it's just the two of us here, don't mess around! ”
Yulan first looked disappointed, and when she heard it, her expression was a little unnatural: "What do you say?" What is messing around? My sister really can't understand what she said. I'm going to pack my things. With that, he walked towards the courtyard.
Chunying kept staring at her back, and secretly told herself that she must always be vigilant and not let Yulan get involved.
Nothing happened for a day. Back in Huo's house, Miss Biao's work called her own maid ring to wrap up, Chunying in addition to waiting with Miss Cousin during meals, most of the time in her temporary room, Dong'er Li'er came to accompany her, and told her a lot of Miss Table's daily preferences, so that she could serve more intimately. Jinxiu also came twice, carefully asked everyone in the evening fragrance pavilion, and taught Chunying some rules and tricks, and even pointed out the color of her clothes and the posture of walking. The corners of Chunying's mouth twitched as she stood, walked, and sat down as she was instructed.
All right. She thought she had gone to an ancient version of the Lady School...... But she's obviously here to be a maid!
Several girls from the Huo family took turns to peek, snickering endlessly. Chun Ying glared at her fiercely a few times, and she couldn't help but laugh first. The girls were in a mess.
But Magnolia didn't join in. Her whereabouts seemed to be a mystery until the lights were about to go out, and she did not return to her lodgings. Because Chunying was in the next room with her, she frowned when she heard the door opening next door.
On the second day, Chunying got up early in the morning, and was about to ask Jinxiu what she was going to do today, when she heard rumors that Yulan had an emergency and would be infected, Jinxiu personally led someone to lock her up, and found a doctor to treat her, it is said that the condition is not light, so in addition to sending food and water every day, she is not allowed to contact anyone, so as not to infect others.
Chunying guessed in her heart that Yulan had gone too far, which aroused the vigilance of the Huo family, and she couldn't help but secretly scold her for being too unintelligent. Since it is just locked up, and someone is sending food and water, it seems that Yulan's life is worry-free, and sooner or later it will be released. Therefore, Chunying was not too worried, and there was no abnormality on her face. After a long time, she found that other people's attitudes towards her were no different, and Miss Biao's reward was also a lot, so she felt that only Yulan was not welcomed, and she was still very safe, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She continued to do some needlework every day, learn some manners, memorize some rules and regulations, talk and laugh with Dong'er and them, and every time she passed outside Yulan's room. They all walked over pretending not to see or hear anything. After three days like this, Yulan once again opened half of the window and shouted at her, "Chun'er! Chun'er! Come here, come here! ”
Chun Ying caught a glimpse of no one around, and immediately turned in another direction with her nose and nose, intending to go around, but heard Yulan shouting, "Do you need such ruthlessness?" It's all from the Hou Mansion, Miss Biao values you, so you just climb up and ignore your sisters?! ”
Chunying was angry and funny, and couldn't help but refute: "When did you become my sister?" Besides, the reason why you are stuck here is because of you. You did a good deed yourself, but blame me for being ruthless?! "I just want to leave.
Yulan stopped her again: "I said it wrong, good sister, you have pity on me!" I'm dying of thirst, but I don't even have a cup of tea, can you bring me a pot? ”
Chun Ying frowned when she saw her pitiful look. Magnolia kept pleading, tears falling and her lips were drying out. Chunying thought to herself that she was probably really thirsty, this was not the Hou Mansion, she had offended the master again, maybe the girl at the bottom would take the opportunity to give her small shoes to wear, and she and she would always have to work together in the evening fragrance hall in the future, and it would not be good to do too much, so she took a pot of tea and handed it to her through the window.
Yulan took the teapot and pulled her sleeve to prevent her from leaving: "Good sister, talk to me again, I'm really not sick!" Won't infect you! ”
Chunying said helplessly: "I know you're not sick, but everyone here is guarding against you, I talked to you, but it caused a fishy, I beg you to see this pot of tea, okay, let it go!" ”
Magnolia begged hard and gritted her teeth. Then he said, "Okay! I'll let it go, but you'll have to promise me one thing. Help me deliver the message back to the house......"
When Chunying heard this, she didn't care about anything else, and even pulled back her sleeves vigorously: "I'm leaving, you can slowly recuperate!" "Turn around and leave.
Yulan's face changed: "I know that Miss Biao values you now, but you can't forget the roots!" Have you forgotten that we are from the Hou Mansion?! Your parents and relatives are still in the house! ”
Chunying's face sank, "What do you mean by this?!" Are you threatening me? It seems that I am still doing something wrong to be a good person?! ”
Yulan hurriedly slowed down her expression and said softly, "How come? I'm just a kind reminder. After all, we are still from the Hou Mansion, but we are seconded to serve Miss Table in the Evening Fragrance Pavilion. She was originally a relative, no matter what the rumors say, she is not the serious master of our family after all. We are ordered by the old lady, the Hou Ye, and the wife to serve her with our hearts, it is our duty, but we can't forget our identity and do something against the Lord? Think about it, even if Miss Biao values you again and asks you to go, your parents and relatives are still working under your wife, you can't let them suffer, right? ”
Chun Ying hated her teeth: "Then I have to thank you for the reminder?" Hum! I shouldn't have pitied you just now! ”
Yulan smiled and said: "What did my sister say, if it weren't for this pot of tea, you would have been unlucky in the future, and when I go home, let my wife know that you let others toss me, but you refuse to help, what else is good about you?" ”
Chun Ying stared at her fiercely, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "What do you want me to do?!" ”
Yulan immediately smiled like a flower: "That's right, it's actually nothing, it's ......" paused, she suddenly thought that it would be too cheap to give half of this great credit to Chunying, this girl is too cheap, she has been holding her breath for a few days! immediately changed his words and said, "Just go back to the house for me and tell my wife, ask her to send someone to pick me up, hurry up!" ”
Chunying only felt funny: "That's it? ”
"That's it, you don't care about anything else." Yulan raised her chin, "Don't worry, I will say more good things for my sister in front of my wife." ”
Chun Ying glared at her, and strode away, Yulan proudly closed the window, put down the pot of light and tasteless ordinary tea, but walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and smiled a little proudly.
Chunying rushed all the way to the pantry, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. What's this called?! Help Yulan spread the word, who knows what the consequences will be? The wife is clearly plotting against Miss Watch's property! How could she be an accomplice?!
But...... If she doesn't spread this word, in the future, when Yulan sues her wife, not only will she be unlucky, but her family will also be affected, what can she do?!
The most hateful thing is that Yulan still refuses to say what she wants to say, only asks her wife to send someone to pick her up! It's not easy to see your wife, but even if you do, what do you want to say? Please take a second-class girl back?! What's more, he is now in Huo Mansion again! If you can't find a reason to go out, it's all for nothing! If she uses this reason to shirk it, I wonder if she can get past it?
Chunying was worried, and suddenly heard Dong'er calling her outside the door: "It turns out that you are here, Miss is looking for you, come with me." ”
Chunying reluctantly tidied up her appearance, and went to Huo Yi's room with her. Huo Yi was sitting at the table watching his younger brother write, and when he saw her enter the door, he raised his head and smiled faintly: "Coming?" I have something to do with you. ”
Chunying saluted: "Please ask Miss Biao to command." ”
"The housekeeper bought a batch of precious medicinal herbs today, which is exactly what my mother can use. Among the people around me, only Jinxiu, you and Yulan have been to the Hou Mansion, Jinxiu can't leave, and Yulan is sick again, so I have to let you go. You go back with the medicine, and then you will greet the old lady, uncle, aunt and mother for me. It's getting dark, and you can come back tomorrow. ”
What's this called?! Chunying couldn't help but secretly complain.
(To pass it on, or not to pass it on, that's the question...... What do you think? )。.。
