Chapter 45: Grievances
Mrs. Tai thought for a while, and then made a disposition of the two maids. Hongxing and Yulian each play 20 boards, and both of them will be third-class maids by first-class maids.
They were not sold.
Jiang Ruonan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't like Hongxing very much, she didn't want to see her have a miserable ending.
When Hongxing heard that she was still going to be beaten, not only would she be beaten, but she would also be demoted, and her eyes glanced at Jiang Ruonan again, expecting the young lady to intercede for her, but Jiang Ruonan ignored her. Yulian, on the other hand, immediately kowtowed to Mrs. Tai to thank her, and her repentance and gratitude were overflowing. The quality of the two maids is immediately obvious!
The deacon of the Hou Mansion, Jia Ding, pulled the two down, Yulian's face was pale, but her expression was calm, as if she was willing to accept the punishment, while Hongxing was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her tears flowed, which made people feel disgusted. Mrs. Tai looked at her and frowned a few times.
It didn't take long for the sound of falling boards and the shouts of red apricots killing pigs from the front yard. And Mrs. Tai in the back room did not change her face to promote Jiang Ruonan and a second-class girl beside Yu Qiuyue to a first-class girl, Jiang Ruonan's side was naturally Yingxue, Yingxue's performance just now was very satisfactory to Mrs. Tai, and Yu Qiuyue's side was a girl named Lizhu. and the two girls in his yard filled the gap of their second-class maids.
She said: "I think, it's better for the girls around you to win your hearts, and the big girls around you still use your own dowry maids." These two maids of mine are also extremely capable, and they can always help you a little bit in your house! β
Jiang Ruonan and Yu Qiuyue were both thinking, Mrs. Tai suddenly added a maid to our house, but what were they suspicious? But both of them didn't show it at all, and thanked Mrs. Tai for her kindness with a smile on their faces.
After a morning of trouble, Mrs. Tai was also tired, waved her hand and told them to retreat, and entered the inner room with Liu Yue's support.
As soon as Mrs. Tai left, Jin Yanran pulled Yu Qiuyue and pestered Jin Shaokang to say something, Jiang Ruonan was too lazy to entertain them, took Yingxue Forsythia, walked around them and walked out.
But when she came to the door, she suddenly remembered something, she turned around, looked at the group of people, and shouted: "Aunt Yu." β
Yu Qiuyue was wiping her tears under Jin Yanran's comfort, and by the way, she also showed her innocence in front of Jin Shaokang, when she suddenly heard Jiang Ruonan's voice, she couldn't help but raise her head to look at her, and said timidly: "What did my sister call me?" β
Jin Shaokang's brother and sister also looked at Jiang Ruonan at the same time.
Jiang Ruonan ignored their gazes, just looked straight at Yu Qiuyue, smiled slightly, and said: "Now, since my aunt has lost the bet with me, she can't be as lazy as before in the future, what kind of rules do you have as a concubine, I think my aunt knows better than me, so don't use me to remind me!" β
She didn't want to worry about these things with Yu Qiuyue, and she didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, she thought that the two of them had nothing to do with each other, although she and the monkey spent a full moon with Yu Qiuyue, she just had to please Mrs. Tai and be able to gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion and live a good life. But now it seems that she is too naΓ―ve, she Yu Qiuyue never planned to live in peace with herself and make herself better!
Since you won't make me feel better, I won't make you feel comfortable either! As long as I'm here, you don't want to climb on top of me!
Yu Qiuyue was speechless, so she had to lower her head, looking bullied and wronged. Jin Yanran's lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but Jiang Ruonan took the first step to speak, she looked at Jin Shaokang, and said, "Master Hou, is what I said wrong?" β
She looked at Jin Shaokang without blinking, her eyes were full of provocation, aren't you the most disciplined? I'll make rules with you now, I want to see if you will slap yourself in the mouth for the sake of your little wife!
Jin Shaokang glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "You're right. β
Yu Qiuyue's eyelashes moved, and her nails pinched into her palms, but in the next second, she had already raised her head as usual, looked at Jiang Ruonan and said, "My sister is right, my sister has made a mistake before, and I will definitely go to my sister tomorrow to say goodbye!" β
Jiang Ruonan smiled slightly, his eyes swept over the faces of the three people, and he was very proud, "In this way, I will wait for my sister tomorrow!" β
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Jin Yanran was so angry that her teeth itched, and she pointed to Jiang Ruonan's back and said to Jin Shaokang; "Brother, look at her smugness! I'm so! She turned her head to look at Yu Qiuyue and said, "Sister-in-law Qiuyue, you will be sick from tomorrow, she will never let you bring her sick to say goodbye!" β
Jin Shaokang's face immediately sank when he heard this, and he looked at his sister and said angrily: "Yanran, is this what everyone is saying?" You have been getting more and more presumptuous lately, where have you learned the rules for more than ten years! Now go back to my room at once, copy the Analects of the Woman a hundred times, and don't leave the room until you finish copying them! β
Jin Yanran was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she stomped her feet: "Brother, not only did you not help Sister-in-law Qiuyue, but now you are coming to punish me, I will ignore you!" After saying that, he cried and ran out!
"Yanran, Yanran!" Yu Qiuyue called twice, then glanced back at Jin Shaokang with a gloomy face, and called softly: "Master Hou......"
Jin Shaokang looked at her and said slowly: "Qiuyue, the Hou Mansion has the rules of the Hou Mansion. β
Yu Qiuyue lowered her head and said softly: "Master Hou doesn't need to say it, Qiuyue understands, Qiuyue ...... It's the concubine room......" The word concubine room was like two sharp nails nailed into her heart, bringing a burst of heart-piercing pain.
Is this a complaint? Jin Shaokang frowned lightly and said, "I still have to go back to the mansion, one step ahead." With that, he lifted his feet and walked out the door.
Yu Qiuyue felt his cold breath, and immediately raised her head to look at his tall back, her face slowly turned white, blaming herself, why didn't she sink her breath just now?
It's just that she can't have resentment? Why can't he be considerate of himself and comfort himself?
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuyue's heart really gave birth to grievances.
Not long after leaving the rosin courtyard, Jiang Ruonan felt that someone had been following him, his steps were not slow, without interruption, but he had no intention of catching up. At first, Jiang Ruonan didn't care, thinking that he was just a subordinate on the way. But she had been walking through a long verandah, and the footsteps were still behind her, neither behind nor ahead, which made her a little strange.
She subconsciously turned her head, but more than ten steps behind her was Jin Shaokang in court clothes.
The sun was shining all over him, and the silk threads on the court clothes reflected a golden light, so bright that people didn't dare to look at it directly. Jiang Ruonan glanced at him, was slightly stunned, and simply stopped, stepped aside, and let him go first.
Jin Shaokang didn't seem to expect her to suddenly turn around, and his expression was a little unnatural. Seeing that she lowered her head and stepped aside, her face returned to her previous indifferent expression, and she walked forward at the same speed.
