Chen Dongsheng has always been quite confident in his ability and knowledge, especially in the recent period, he first won the favor of nobles from Beijing, and changed from a small farmer in the countryside to a steward in everyone;

Then, he helped his master finish his errand beautifully, punished the enemy a little, and at the same time, he was more sure of his status in the master's heart;

Then, he came forward to build the villa for his master, with a hundred and ten hired workers under him, and was honored by people all day long as "Steward Chen" and "Little Brother Chen", which made him feel more and more different from the villagers around him.

He, Chen Ergou, oh no, he Chen Dongsheng is not an ordinary farmer, but a person who wants to do big things.

It's just that all these wonderful feelings, after coming to the Li family's mansion, were swallowed up little by little by the scenes that caught their eyes.

Sit, stand up, walk a few steps dryly, sit back again, drink tea boredly, and then stand up again...... Over and over again, like sitting on pins and needles, after Chen Dongsheng drank N cups of tea tastelessly, his heart beat for a while, and sweat began to appear on his forehead - oops, the young grandmother said that the master here was her maternal uncle, but he had been here for half an hour, and the letter had already been handed over, why hadn't there been a reply?!

The porter on the side, carrying a teapot, refilled Chen Dongsheng's empty teacup again, but his face was gloomy. Hey, where did this mud leg come from, I don't understand the rules at all, I sit here stupidly for a long time, and I dry up half a pot of hot water alone, but I don't even want to give a tea money. If it weren't for the second housekeeper who asked him to greet him when he left, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of him.

"This eldest brother, has my letter been delivered, why haven't you three masters called me?"

Sticking his neck at the door frame and looking at it for a long time, Chen Dongsheng walked back again, and when he saw the porter adding water to him, he hurriedly asked with a smile.

"It's been sent in, don't worry, if the third master wants to see you, he will ask the family inside to call you!"

Hey, who do you think you are, you can't sit still after waiting for half an hour? Or who is the third master of my family? Hmph, don't say you're a stupid boy, it's the magistrate of Haicheng who is here, and he is also obediently handing over the post, waiting honestly!

As he was talking, a person hurriedly walked over outside the door, Chen Dongsheng heard the voice, looked up, and looked up, his face was happy. The person who came was none other than the steward who received the letter.

"Chen Dongsheng, did you follow the instructions of the second young grandmother of the Zhao family to deliver a letter to her third uncle?"

"That's right, I'm the newly hired steward of the young grandmother, and I am specially for the young grandmother to guard Zhuangzi." Chen Dongsheng finally waited for someone who could take care of things, and hurriedly said the words of the young grandmother before departure, "The young grandmother said that April 16 is the birthday of the third uncle, and she should pay homage to the third uncle as a junior." It's just that there are some situations now, she can't come in person, and I ask the third uncle to forgive me! ”

April 16? Well, that's right, the third master of his family is the birthday of April 16, and it seems that this person is really sent by Miss Wang Jiabiao to deliver the letter.

It's just that didn't the seventh mother of the Wang family marry the famous Zhao family in the capital as a young grandmother, how could she be so downcast that she used a village boy with no rules and no distance to come over to deliver the letter?

Could it really be like what the third master said, this cousin really encountered a hurdle that she couldn't get over?

Thinking of this, Steward Li cleared his throat, "Let's go, the third uncle has something I want to ask you personally, you come with me!" ”

"Oops!"

Chen Dongsheng nodded again and again, his heart spoke, this place is too depressing, even the porter looks at people with his nostrils, he better finish his errand early and go back early. At least, in Qingzhou, he can still find some self-confidence.

Chen Dongsheng was talking about going back, but the Ziyuan of Qingyuan Villa was thinking about going out.

"Qi Niang, why don't you let me go? It just so happened that I also went back to see Xiaoya, the child is still too young, and it is the first time he has left us, I am really a little worried! ”

Mama Zhao and Wang Qifang sat on the kang, discussing who would return to the capital to report the news.

Originally, according to Wang Qifang's idea, she wanted Chen Dongsheng to go directly to the capital after sending the letter to Haicheng's third uncle. However, after some discussion with Mama Zhao, Mama Zhao felt that this matter was inappropriate.

According to Mama's idea, since she wanted to send a letter to the capital, she simply took this opportunity to give Aunt Su in the house some eye medicine. I don't expect to be able to bring her down, at least I have to respond to her.

It's just that if you go to the capital with the purpose of calculation, you can't be so casual, and you can't leave a flaw. The time to send the letter to Haicheng and the capital, even if it can't be synchronized, can't be too far behind. Otherwise, once they were found out, they would not succeed in designing Aunt Su, but would be disgusted by Mrs. Zhao and her aunt.

Mama Zhao's idea is very good, but it is difficult to implement - who will deliver the letter in Beijing? At present, in addition to Mama Zhao, Wang Qifang is surrounded by two little girls who have just bought the door, not to mention their young age, the degree of loyalty is also worth scrutinizing.

"No, Mama Zhao, you can't go," Wang Qifang shook her head very simply when she heard this. Mama Zhao's plan is very good, but if Mama Zhao goes in person, the effect may be reduced. Besides, she has a special body now, and although she has space to hide, she can't leave people around her.

"That'...... Who to go? You can't let Feng Da fool go, right? ”

Mama Zhao really regretted it at the moment, after hearing that Qi Niang had an accident, she just wanted to rush over to take care of Qi Niang as soon as possible, but she forgot to bring the personal girl in the house. Even if you can't bring them all, even if you bring one, it's better than having no one under your hands now.

"Well, I really have to let him go!"

Surprisingly, Wang Qifang listened to Mama Zhao's words and nodded.

"What? Qi Niang, you, did you really let Feng Da fool go? ”

Mama Zhao was startled, and hurriedly stopped, "Qi Niang, don't be deceived by Feng Tiezhu's apparent loyalty, this kid is very slippery." If he knows about you, and then weigh the current situation, he may not know which end he will fall towards! ”

"Mama, don't worry," Wang Qifang saw that the old lady was really angry, and hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Hehe, I just want him to escort our messenger back to the capital, not to hand over the errand directly to him!" ”

In fact, there is one thing that Wang Qifang did not say, she also wanted to take the opportunity to test the Feng couple. However, it is still too early to mention this matter, and when there is a reply from Haicheng, it is not too late for her to tell Mama Zhao.

"Oh, that's pretty much it," Mama Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. It's just that when he thought of the person who sent the letter, his brows furrowed again, "But, if I don't go, who else can we send here?" ”

"Young grandma, grandma, it's better to let the slave go!"

As soon as Mama Zhao's sigh fell, a young girl's voice came from outside the door.

"Aster? Come in and talk! ”

Wang Qifang was closer to the window, heard it clearly, and greeted her.

After a while, the little girl who was combing her bag and bun her hair and wearing a tender green skirt walked in, it was the steady nature of Ziyuan. I saw that the little girl first saluted Wang Qifang respectfully, and then stood in front of Wang Qifang with her head down.

"Shion, you said you wanted to deliver a letter?" Wang Qifang looked at the honest and well-behaved Ziyuan inquiringly, and after seeing that she heard her question, she nodded lightly, and asked coldly, "Oh~~, then I ask you, if I send you, what are you going to do?" ”

"Back to Young Grandma," Zi Yuan stared at her toes and said in a calm tone, "The slave maid is not in good health, and the conditions here are difficult for the young grandmother, so that the slave and maid fell ill as soon as they followed Steward Feng on the road......

Hey? It's kind of interesting! Listening to the little girl describe how she did her errand in a storytelling tone, Wang Qifang and Mama Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and they listened to Ziyuan's follow-up expectantly.

“…… The slave maid is shallow and has never been far away, so after arriving in the capital, it took a lot of effort to find the gate of the Zhao Mansion, and told the porter that the slave maid was from Qingzhou Zhuangzi, and helped the second young grandmother deliver the letter to the second young master...... The status of the slave and maid is low, how can she go to the main gate of the Zhao Mansion? Under the guidance of the 'kind' porter, the slave came to the back door of the Zhao Mansion and saw the mother-in-law who was guarding the door...... By the time the slave maid saw the second young master or the Empress Dowager Zhao, it was already a month later, and by that time, the second young grandmother had already moved into her own village under the protection of the third uncle, and outsiders couldn't enter it at all......"

Good, such a scheming girl!

After Ziyuan told the whole "story", Wang Qifang's back suddenly felt cold, and her gaze at Ziyuan was also a little complicated.

"Smack!" Compared with Wang Qifang's silence, Mama Zhao reacted first, her face was gloomy, and she slapped the kang table violently, "What a clever girl!" Let me ask you, when I bought you that day, Renyazi said that you were the daughter of an innocent poor peasant family, and the family could not afford to support the children, so they sold you. But the old woman really can't understand how a village girl from an ordinary peasant family has such an old and spicy calculation? Aster, what is your origin? ”

Mama Zhao saw clearly, "Ziyuan has long known how risky her move is. However, Sister Mingzhu, who took her back then, also said that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. She didn't want to be an unknown little girl for the rest of her life, and she honestly stayed up until she was old and was casually matched by the owner or given away. If she wants to be the master's right and left hand, then she must help the master run errands. Now is the perfect opportunity.

For this opportunity, she risked going out after being found out, but she still showed her true abilities.

"Poof" fell to the ground with a bang, Ziyuan's head touched the ground, and said in a choked voice: "The slave should die, when Mama Zhao picked someone that day, she said that she wanted to be an innocent girl, and the slave was afraid to tell her true identity, Mama Zhao refused to ask me, so I secretly begged the aunt of Yaxing and asked her to help me make a lie...... The slave maid used to be the girl of the Cui family in Qingzhou, but the head of the family made a mistake, and the girl of the whole family was sold by the government, and the slave and maid have been sold twice, and each time the new master did not like the previous master of the slave and maid, so ......"

"Hmph, do you think I'll still believe what you say now?"

Mama Zhao observed her words and looked at her words, and she had already believed most of the little girl's words, but her tone was still a little reprimanding.

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the county office to check the file!"

For this, Aster is not worried. The only worry is that Mama Zhao and the new owner dislike her old master and resell her again.

"I'll naturally check, Shion, as long as what you say has a lie, be careful of your skin!"

"Slaves don't dare!"

PS: Roar, thank you for your evaluation, I feel your attention and support, a certain Sa is very motivated!
