Lilac wiped away her tears twice, her voice was a little choked, "No, I didn't say anything......"

"Didn't say anything, can you pick on her thorn? Crying so sadly, it seems that girl, I just taught you the wrong lesson, and I wronged you? ”

Lilac was silent, and Huaxi sighed again, "I don't have anyone to rely on in this mansion, there are still you and Mother Liu's two intimate people, and now you don't want to tell me the truth, who should I trust in the future...... Ay! ”

Lilac listened to Huaxi's grievances, and felt that she was embarrassed by her gaffe, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, it's not." Hongliu said that the old lady thought that the girl had suffered outside all these years, and the fourth aunt and grandmother went early...... Therefore, after some time, I will match you with a nurturing grandmother and a first-class maid, and make up for the rules and etiquette that have been left behind, and said that the old lady does not like the close service bought outside...... I'm not too young, maybe I'll show you the best this time......"

Huaxi frowned and asked, "Who is she talking about?" ”

Lilac understood what Huaxi meant, and replied sneeringly: "It's Wu Ming...... And that splendid is Wu Ming's sister. ”

No wonder Lilac was angry just now, Hongliu came to say this to Lilac when she saw Jinxiu today. A big girl who has served by the old lady's side has her own measure in her words and actions, and Hongliu is too anxious, isn't this a mistake that a person like her would make?

People like Wu Ming, who know the roots and know the bottom of the house, will definitely not be able to look down on him, and the most he has seen back and forth outside in the past two years is Lilac, seeing that he is not a serious master, it is understandable that he will not let go. But Wu Yushun is the steward outside the second door, which is still a lot worse than the inner door, and his girl has a face in front of the third grandmother, but it is not as good as the old lady and the big girl next to the big house, and even the red willow is not as good as it.

It's only been two months since I've been here, and their family has such a mind, and they can't say anything, let alone invite Hongliu to make peace. And there are three possibilities for Hongliu to agree to this, one is to owe them a favor, the second is to be caught by them, and the third is to get great benefits, the first two are easy to say, if it is the third one, it is difficult to say what benefits will be obtained......

Huaxi's face changed, "Go and ask Mother Liu to come over." ”

Lilac didn't know what she meant, seeing that her expression was wrong, she thought that something was in trouble, so she called Liu's mother to come over to discuss, and she was even more worried, and hurriedly went out to find Liu's mother to the incense room.

As soon as Liu's mother came, Huaxi asked Lilac to tell her about the next day, and asked, "Have you ever heard about Hongliu's family?" Can her family be related to Wu Yushun's family? ”

Liu's mother replied: "Hongliu is a child, and Wu Yushun's family is the third grandmother's house, so it has nothing to do with it." Hongliu's grandfather was the old marquis's groom, and later sent to Zhuangzi as a steward, but during the Taiping period, he suffered from an epidemic, and his grandfather and parents were gone. Later, I followed my grandmother back to the house. Her grandmother and Mother Wang were godsisters, and before she died, she handed over the red willow to Mother Wang to raise, just when the slave maid left with the fourth lady. Later, the old lady looked at Wang's mother's face and mentioned her to become a second-class maid. ”

is not involved, there is a backer, not a relative, the probability of being caught by someone is low, if you owe favors, you don't have to give up your face to pay it back, the only possibility - profitable...... What exactly is the benefit?

"The slave and maid see that there is something strange about this. The slave maid only inquired about it in the past two days, and it was rumored below that the old marquis's illness had worsened because of the third master. If it is true, the three rooms should not be at this time not light. ”

Lilac was confused, standing there with a blank expression, her eyes looking at Huaxi, waiting for her to speak.

Huaxi pondered for a while and asked, "How much is the monthly silver left in the past two months?" ”

"The monthly case of the brothers in the house is ten taels, and the girls are six taels, and one box of rouge, two boxes of fine powder, and two bottles of sesame oil are given to you here. In these two months, go to the kitchen to get goat milk, lard, sesame seeds, red dates and other dried fruits you want to make snacks and snacks for chewing two taels, as well as four taels of reward, and the remaining silver in two months is a total of six taels. ”

Huaxi doesn't care about accounts on weekdays, but when she heard Liu's mother say this, she realized that there is more money in this house than outside, and there are not many people in Qixiayuan, so just to inquire about the news and call the servant woman who sent things used four taels of reward, which is enough for ordinary people to spend half a year.

The things that the old lady and the elders in a few rooms appreciated cannot be used, and the incense powder and other things that are divided from the monthly routine are marked and cannot be given away even if they are not used. The remaining bit of silver was intended to be saved for emergencies, but now it can only be taken out first, and at the same time, it has to be broken into several flowers, and Houmen's life is also difficult. In the end, who calls himself a dependent snort to live.

Huaxi didn't dare to think about it anymore, straightened out her thoughts, and instructed: "Mother Liu, leave one or two taels of silver for loose money, and the remaining five taels of silver, you want to go out of the house in the next two or three days or find a reliable person to bring some handmade purses back from outside, the patterns must be new, the materials can be secondary, the important thing is not to fill in the spices, it is best to be able to pack some small objects." Lilacs, don't wait in my room for the past two days, stay in the incense room honestly, I choose a few spices and you grind them into powder for me, and prepare some refining honey. To the outside world, he said that I will punish you for doing the work and grinding spices for the old ladies and girls. ”

Ding Xiang was not sure and asked: "Girl, those silver are not a small amount, how will we live in the next month?" ”

Liu's mother seemed to understand, "Yes, what does this mean, girl?" ”

Huaxi explained: "It turns out that I didn't use the idea of the spices in the incense room because I had to be careful about everything when I first entered the house. These days, I also know about the spices in and out of the house. I don't know how to use musk and ambergris, I only use those that can be used as both medicinal herbs and spices, and these medicinal materials are large and cheap, and I can't find them if I don't have them. Just rushing some incense medicine and incense pills out, it is much better than directly rewarding money and silver. Besides, the food and everything are uniformly distributed in the kitchen, so we will never be hungry. I also have clothes, I don't like to use those fat powders, and the remaining one or two are enough for us to last until next month. ”

"It's not suitable to inquire about Sanfang and Wu Yushun's family, so it's better for a slave to go." After all, Liu's mother has seen more, and she immediately understood what Huaxi meant, and secretly admired that her own girl was shrewd and thoughtful. The finished incense medicine and incense pills are all rare, and the price is not low. Isn't it better for my own girl to do this as a favor than money.

Lilac's eyes turned red again when she heard this, and she whimpered, "The girl is doing this for me...... How do you make the slave good? If they are in a hurry, it is a big deal to twist their hair and become a sister-in-law, and Lilac will never bother the girl. ”

"Stupid! Before the car has reached the front of the hill and you are ready to retreat, you know that there is no road ahead? Don't think about those green lantern ancient Buddhas when you are young, where are the laity so easy to get rid of the red dust. You and I are both laymen, and this is not only for you, but also for myself......"

Huaxi sighed slowly, and secretly decided in her heart: There are many roads, and they are full of thorns, and they are not capable of overcoming thorns, so why should they find a relatively flat way to walk inside.
