Manru frowned, Chunying was also frowning, and even the maids sitting under the porches on both sides also frowned. Qing'er loves to find trouble like man, and everyone knows it in Huanhuaxuan. Some people gloated, but some people felt that it was inappropriate, but Manru was only taken aback during the day, and Qing'er was very senior, so they didn't bother to care, and someone immediately got up and went back to the room. Chunying saw that even Shi'er had returned to the house, and she was a little uneasy in her heart, so she hurriedly looked at the door to see what Qing'er was going to do.

Qing'er smiled at Manru, and was about to reach out to pick up the tray: "The third young master is only afraid that he will not be happy to see you, so leave this to me." ”

Man Ru hurriedly took a few steps back with the tray, lowered his head and said, "Don't dare to bother, this is my errand." ”

Qing'er smiled and snorted coldly: "It was originally your errand, but I'm afraid it won't be long before it won't be your errand." When you go out, I think I've been working with you for a few months, maybe I can ask for you to ask for it, and let the third young master let you take all the rewards you get. ”

Manru's face turned blue: "Nonsense! The third young master has already punished me, how can he let me out? I don't listen to you talking nonsense! Get out of the way! "After that, you have to go around Qing'er and go inside.

Qing'er pulled down her face, stretched out her hand to block it, and hit a half-foot-high white porcelain bottle in the tray shook a few times, almost falling down, Manru hurriedly helped it up, and said angrily: "What are you doing?!" If you knock something over, you won't please either! ”

Qing'er was also startled, and was a little sneering when she heard the words: "If you hold it steady, you will naturally not turn over ......" cleared her throat and said: "I was kind enough to remind you, don't know what to do, show me face!" Do you think that if the third young master is lightly punished, it will be over? Don't forget, the second young master is still thinking about you! If he asks the third young master for you, will the third young master give it or not? If it reaches the ears of the old lady and wife, it doesn't bother it, it will definitely kick you out. You said...... Isn't that the truth? ”

Manru's face was already pale, and she only felt chills all over her body. Although Qing'er often targets her, after all, she has been waiting in the mansion for many years, and she is more familiar with the behavior of the two young masters than her, so she may really guess it. However, how can she be willing? She has struggled to this day, and she hasn't fulfilled her wish yet, how can she be kicked out?!

When Qing'er saw her face, she was secretly proud, sighed heavily, and said, "Actually...... Do you want to stay in the house...... It's not impossible. As soon as the words fell, there was a pain in her arm, and Manru grabbed her hard, and her eyes glared at the boss: "What way?!" Qing'er broke away in annoyance and sneered: "If you want to know, just come with me, it's not easy for people to hear." She pointed to the shadow in the corner of the courtyard and motioned for Manru to come with her.

Manru immediately stepped away, only to take two steps before she paused again, she looked down at the tray: "These things...... I have to send it to the upper room, and it will be cold if I delay it any longer. ”

Qing'er glared at her angrily, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Xia He coming out of the pantry, carrying a brass kettle in her hand, so she called her: "Xia He, come here!" Xia He pouted and complained, "What are you doing?" Sister Lanxiang wants to make soothing tea, and I want to send hot water to the back. ”

"That's right." Qing'er stuffed Manru's tray into her hand, "Take it, I'll talk to Manru for a few words, you ......" thought for a while, "Wait here, don't go away!" "Such a rare pastry, the third young master will definitely be happy to see it, there is no reason to give this opportunity to the little girl.

Xia He watched Qing'er and Manru leave, looked down at the tray in his hand, and changed the gesture of carrying the kettle. Things were so heavy, and the wind in the courtyard was so cold, she really wanted to find a place to sit......

Chunying looked at Xia He standing in front of the door with a sad face, quite sympathetic, she hesitantly turned around and asked Shi'er: "Xia He's things seem to be quite heavy, do you want to help her?" ”

Shi'er was stacking the clean clothes that had just been sent back from the slurry washing room, and he didn't raise his head: "Don't go, Sister Qing'er will definitely scold when she turns around and sees you there." ”

Chunying had no choice but to give up, looked out the window, and saw Qing'er and Manru in the corner of the wall and didn't know what they were talking about, Manru's face seemed to be getting more and more ugly, and she turned her head to leave, but was pulled by Qing'er again, and the two argued. It's a pity that they all lowered their voices, and Chunying couldn't hear the content of the quarrel, so she had to guess in her heart, Qing'er must not have said good things, right?

"Hey! Lu Chun'er! Xia He found that Chunying was peeping, so he called her, "Come here!" I'm exhausted! ”

Chunying turned her head to look at her, hesitated for a moment, and ran out: "Are your hands tired?" Shall I help you get it? ”

This was exactly what Xia He wanted, she didn't say a word and stuffed the tray into Chunying's arms, but with too much force, the hot water in the kettle splashed out and splashed on her feet, making her scream in pain, and when she jumped her feet, the tray was completely knocked over. Chunying was startled and rushed to help, only to hold on to the white porcelain bottle, but the liquid in the bottle was half spilled, exuding a strong milky fragrance, and the box decorated with the snack flew out, the pastry fell to the ground, and the kettle fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

Xia He was stunned, and cried with a wow, Chun Ying was startled again, and hurriedly asked her, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Is it badly hot? Xia He just cried.

Qing'er and Manru heard the sound and hurriedly ran over, and when they saw this situation, the latter's face changed first: "What are you doing?!" She hurriedly went to pick up the snacks, but those snacks have been stained with dust, not long ago a little girl watered the osmanthus flowers on the side, the muddy water is mixed in one place, it has not dried yet, the snacks are obviously not edible. She looked at the dirty snacks, and then got up to see that Chunying had only half of the milk left in her hand, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The people in the backyard had already heard the voice, and Lan Xiang walked to the door and asked, "What's wrong?" It's noisy! Chunying subconsciously turned her head to look at her, but there was a strong grip on her hand, preventing her from turning around, and when she looked back, it turned out to be Manru.

Manru quickly put the box containing dirty snacks into Chunying's tray, and then blocked in front of her, and smiled at Lan Xiang: "Xia He accidentally spilled the hot water, maybe it's hot." I'll take care of her and bring another pot of hot water in when I get back. ”

Lan Xiang frowned and looked at the kettle on the ground, the light was dim, and she could only see the general outline, although she felt that Chun'er had her back to her, which was a little strange, but she didn't ask much, just said, "What does it look like?" Tell her to stop and boil the water faster! ”

Manru said yes in a row, and it wasn't until she saw Lan Xiang enter the upper room that she breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked back at the box, she was a little panicked.

Chun Ying simply gave her the whole tray, and then looked at Xia He's feet: "Take off your shoes quickly, I'll see if it's so hot?" ”

Xia He had already stopped crying, sobbing and doing so, Chun Ying helped her take off her socks, looked at it by the light of the lantern under the corridor, and saw that it was only a little red, and she was a little relieved: "It's okay, go back and apply cold water to compress it, and then put on some medicine, do you have medicine here?" ”

"There is ......" Xia He twitched the ground and looked at the tray in Manru's hand in fear, "Sister, don't punish me for ......"

Qing'er, who had been silent, suddenly smiled: "How can you not be punished?" You, Chun'er, and Manru, the three of you have made a mistake, even if the third young master doesn't care, Mei Xiang will punish you. She glanced at the dim sum box: "That's the dim sum made by the cook that the second master of Dongfu brought back from the north, and no one can make it anymore." And this milk, which is only available in Dongfu. This is a supper that the old lady specially asked someone to give to the third young master, and you knocked it over, this crime...... It's not small! ”

Manru looked up at her sharply, "What do you mean by that?" I didn't knock it over! ”

Xia He cried again in fear: "I...... I just have a terrible sore foot......"

Chunying felt even more wronged, she was obviously just kind enough to help, but when she saw Xia He crying like that, she didn't want to be too embarrassed for the child, so she had to say to Qing'er: "This is obviously just an accident, for a few snacks, are you so scary?" In the final analysis, this thing was also handed over to Xia He by yourself! ”

"That's right!" Man Ru stared at Qing'er, her face as white as paper, "You blocked my way, took the tray away, and handed it to Xia He, now that something has happened, how can you blame me?!" ”

Qing'er sneered: "You took the supper, you should send it directly to the third young master's house, you just leave your serious errand and hand over your things to others, are you still reasonable?" Xia He didn't hold it steady, of course it was a big mistake to knock over something, Chun'er ran out to disturb Xia He, and made Xia He turn over the hot water and snacks, which was another mistake. I didn't wronged you for these three mistakes! ”

The anger in Chunying's heart came up all of a sudden, and she couldn't wait to beat that triumphant face immediately, but she still remembered Qiu Yu's advice in her head, and endured it.

Manru didn't restrain the hatred in her eyes at all, staring at Qing'er's gaze, which almost made her freeze into ice. Qing'er stubbornly said, "You...... What do you see me doing?! I...... It's your fault! She swallowed her saliva and lowered her voice: "Although it's just a few pieces of snack, it's not a big deal, they are young, at most they will be beaten by a few boards, you just offended the second young master today, this time it's a crime on top of a crime, let the old lady know, even if the third young master wants to protect you, he can't keep it!" If you don't want to leave the house, just do what I want!" ”

Manru didn't answer, just stared at her with a sharp gaze, Qing'er seemed to have confidence, and glared back without giving in. There was a moment of silence.

Xia He had already stopped crying, frightened by the confrontation between the two second-class maids, approached Chunying a little, and whispered with tears: "What should I do?" I don't want to get beaten ......."

Chunying didn't want to be beaten even more, and was beaten for a few pieces of snacks, isn't that too innocent? It's just that the dim sum is overturned, what should I do? She said, "Don't worry about quarreling yet, let's settle the supper matter first." The third young master doesn't know what the old lady is rewarding, how about we take something else first? ”

Qing'er glanced at her contemptuously: "What do you think it is, can you just find something on top?" Even if there were, where do we find it now? Sister Lanxiang only quarreled with the kitchen during the day, and you also quarreled a few days ago, you tried to find someone in the kitchen to see if they ignore you? ”

Chunying said unconvinced: "Who said that supper must be done in the kitchen?" Don't we have a stove in our yard? There is hot water, there is a clay pot, and as long as there is pastry, it can be steamed immediately! Even if it's not as good as the original, at least it can guarantee that the third young master won't go hungry! ”

Manru's attention was also attracted: "But what other pastries are available in the courtyard?" I remember that there were two applese in the upper room, and there were some cloud cakes and jujube paste cakes in the dim sum box, but the third young master didn't like to eat jujube paste. ”

Chunying thought for a while, looked at the half bottle of milk, and suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly asked: "I remember that you all use eggs to wash your hair, do you have eggs in your hands now?" She remembered that Xia He seemed to have yelled to wash her hair in the afternoon.

Manru and Xia He both said yes, and the former seemed to understand something: "I still have some sesame oil there." What do you want to do with eggs? ”

Chunying smiled confidently: "I have a way, as long as it is very ...... No, it will be done in a quarter of an hour! ”

Manru's face softened a little, and Xia He also looked at her hopefully, only Qing'er looked at her coldly, with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was a slight hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

(You can also guess what Chun'er will do, right?) ）
