Li You paused, then turned to Mei Xiang in the next second, and asked sharply: "Is there such a thing?!" Didn't I say that you should discipline your subordinates well, behave politely, and don't make trouble?! Although he was young, he had a straight face, and he was actually very majestic, quite like his father, and everyone around him was stunned.
Mei Xiang hurriedly said: "It's the slave who was negligent, but this thing is absolutely none." The slave maid guessed that the old lady had instructed her a few days ago to urge the third young master to have a good meal, and the slave maid sisters discussed it, so they sent the little girl to the kitchen to take care of it. It must have been the little girl's indistinct words when she spoke, but the kitchen people misunderstood. β
Li You slowed down his tone at this time: "If that's the case, it's okay, if you want to spread the word in the future, remember to find someone who is articulate." The people in my courtyard have never been allowed to be arrogant outside, but if you mess around and make your grandmother, father and mother angry, I will not follow it! β
Mei Xiang reassured repeatedly, and motioned for the other girls present to follow suit. The old lady asked casually, but it was not good to say anything more when she saw this: "That's it, what kind of temperament is the mother-in-law in the kitchen, I have also heard about it, the girl is young and can't hold her breath, and it is not a big deal to make trouble if she doesn't agree with a word." It's just that Brother You'er's identity is not ordinary, and you must be more cautious in your actions, you wait by his side, and you must be more careful in everything, don't let that villain spread his reputation badly. β
Mei Xiang and the others responded solemnly, but Li You didn't quite agree with the old lady's words: "Look at what grandmother said, even the cats and dogs in your house are more noble than others, and the kitchen is full of old people, who are used to being used to by their grandfathers and grandmothers, and are your trusted servants. No matter what the kitchen people say, she shouldn't rely on my power to talk back to the kitchen people! After that, he turned his head to Mei Xiang and said, "I turned around and called that girl, I will punish her well." β
"Alright, alright." The old lady sighed, "Why is your child so thoughtful?" In a family like ours, whose brother is not pampered and lawless? Even if he is an old slave who has accumulated years, there is no reason for the young master to listen respectfully. I know that you are a child who knows etiquette and filial piety, but you shouldn't go too far, you can't suppress the people below, so how can they respect you? Now there is a kind of evil slave, seeing that the master's family has no relatives to rely on, and his temper is good, he openly oppresses, takes the master's money to make a fortune himself, and even sells the master's young master and miss, the master is not the master, the slave is not a slave, you will inherit the title of our Qingguo Marquis Mansion in the future, and the temperament can not be so soft, you must show the prestige that the master's family should have! β
Li You hurriedly stood up, bowed his head and saluted obediently, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, pulled him into her arms again, and spoke while rubbing. Seeing that there was nothing to do for the time being, Mei Xiang gave Qiu Yu a look, and said with a smile: "Lan Xiang is too slow, I'll urge her." The old lady only said "hmm" and didn't say anything, but Li You raised her eyelids and stared at Mei Xiang, who retreated with Qiu Yu knowingly.
When she got outside, Mei Xiang hurried to the front yard without saying a word, and found a little girl to whisper: "Go to the kitchen to find your sister Lanxiang, if you meet it halfway, tell her to go slower, don't rush back." The little girl took the order, Mei Xiang looked back and saw Qiu Yu frowning, so she pulled her to the corner and whispered: "The little girl that the old lady said is Chun'er." β
Qiu Yu was taken aback: "What?!" β
"Don't worry, although Chun'er is young, she is not unbalanced." Mei Xiang repeated Chunying's words, and said, "It must be the people in the kitchen who are causing the trouble, maybe there are people from the second young master's side who are making trouble, let's ask things clearly first." β
Qiu Yu pursed her lips and didn't speak, and walked directly to Chunying's room, but she didn't see anyone, and she turned around the corridor for half a circle before finding her in the pantry.
Chun Ying had just come to the pantry, because Man Rufang had just eaten the second young master's fright, and now she was full of grievances and fear, sitting alone on the small bench in the corner, bent on her knees and crying. The little girls passed by and saw it, quietly hiding by the door and peeking, Chunying heard the news and rushed over, and was standing outside the door hesitating whether to go in to comfort her.
Qiu Yu glanced at Manru, then pulled Chun Ying back to the room, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked, "What did you say to the mother-in-law there when you went to the kitchen to urge you to eat that day?!" β
Chun Ying was stunned, turned her head and saw that Mei Xiang was also serious, so she recalled the situation at that time and said it, and then asked carefully: "Did something happen?" β
Mei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Qiu Yu: "It's okay, it's that mother-in-law who is hateful!" Let her suffer a little loss today, and see if she dares to neglect the errands in our hospital again. I'll go back to the house first, it's rare for you and Chun'er to meet, let's have a good chat, don't blame her too much, she's still young. With that, he walked out, and closed the door for her sisters very considerately.
The room was quiet, Chunying didn't dare to come out, only secretly looked at Qiu Yu, as soon as Qiu Yu raised her eyes to look over, she immediately lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Why don't you speak? β
Qiu Yu gritted her teeth and hit her twice vigorously, her hands softened, and her tone was full of hatred: "Didn't you tell you to do things honestly?!" How can you provoke such rights and wrongs again?! The old lady just talked about this, the third young master has already said that he wants to punish you, if it is good luck, it is just a deduction of some monthly money, if you are unlucky, it will be light to hit the board, why are you so reckless?! β
Chunying didn't understand what she was wrong at all, although Qiu Yu's two blows didn't hurt, she still felt aggrieved in her heart: "What did I do wrong?" I'm just doing what I'm told, isn't it honest enough? It's obviously that mother-in-law's fault, why do you want to punish me?! β
"You girl!" Qiu Yu twisted her arm hatefully, "In this mansion, where can you tell right and wrong?" Even if you're right, if you ask someone to take the handle and sue the old lady, you're wrong! If that mother-in-law didn't rely on it, would she dare to neglect the errand in the third young master's courtyard like this? No matter how unhappy you are in your heart, you have to tell her in a good voice, what rules do you talk to her dozen-year-old housekeeper about you, a teenage girl? That's what you can talk about?! β
Chunying was not convinced: "It's her who is lazy and doesn't work, and she says ugly things to laugh at me, how do you tell me to swallow this breath?" What's more, didn't my sister say last time that some people would drag out and not do anything when they saw that the clothes I was wearing were not decent enough, and when the blame came down, they would put the blame on me? I was afraid that they would be late to deliver the food, and they said that they didn't see me talking, so I quarreled with them. Obviously others are arguing too, why do you blame me?! β
Qiu Yu was even more angry when he heard this: "You still have the face to say this?!" The people in the eldest young master's courtyard, how can they talk casually? They are making trouble with the people in the kitchen, and you should avoid it when you see it, but you just help them talk, don't you think you caused enough trouble?! She quickly turned her head to look at the doors and windows, and saw that no one had pulled her sister over and asked in a low voice: "Someone told me that you met Xiangyu before, but is it true?!" β
Chunying asked in surprise, "How do you know?!" "Except for a few of them, it seems that there was no one else?
"What do you think is a secret in this house?!" Qiu Yu stomped his feet, "If you are honest, naturally no one will pay attention, but you just quarreled with the people in the kitchen, and immediately someone will target you, you have a quarrel with someone today, and Ming'er will spread all over the house!" How can you really hide it from you?! β
When Chun Ying heard this, she was faintly scared, but when she thought about it carefully, it didn't seem to be anything to fear: "The villager and her sister still meet often, besides, there is no contradiction between the third young master and the eldest young master, what's the big deal when I meet his girl?" β
"It's not a big deal." Qiu Yu sneered, "It's just that in the eyes of others, you first helped the eldest young master's people teach the second young master's mother, and then you had an excellent relationship with the eldest young master's people, what do you think?" Even if the third young master and the eldest young master are still on good terms, they will be angry. Besides, the housekeeper in the kitchen is a person from the Wang's family, and if you offend her, there is still good fruit to eat in this house? β
Chunying only then did she know the seriousness of the matter: "I didn't know that her backer was Manager Wang, I ...... I...... I was just angry...... Obviously, it was other maids who offended the people in the kitchen, but they asked me to pay, and those mothers-in-law didn't talk cleanly...... Sister, that mother-in-law still dares to deduct the ginseng that the grandmother marries, only takes two ginseng whiskers to stew soup, and is also very arrogant against Xiangyu, I really can't get used to it......"
"If you can't get used to it, how will you live in the future?" Qiu Yu's tone slowed down a little, but it was still very stern, "The eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother didn't speak, what kind of grievance are you hugging?" They haven't lived in our house for a lifetime, but after a few years of hard work, what are you bothering about for them?! β
Qiu Yu has been in the house for a long time, and she doesn't know her mother and sister's plans, Chun Ying knows it in her heart, and she can't understand anything, so she has to mumble a few words, obviously not convinced. Qiu Yu had to say slowly: "You are still young, you don't know the doorway here." Some people ...... is used to making waves, even if you don't do anything wrong, they will use the excuse to say, if you do this, maybe the third young master is close to the eldest young master and alienates the second young master, or someone deliberately provokes the relationship between the third young master and the second young master, think about it, this kind of words reach the ears of the old lady and the Hou Ye, either the two young masters suffer a loss, or you are unlucky, why bother? β
Chun Ying hadn't thought of this possibility at all, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is too exaggerated, isn't it?!" β
Qiu Yu was angry and funny: "Do you think those people can't do anything?" Although I am not very old, I have been in this house since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of things, and I am often frightened by the methods of those peopleβso I tell you to be careful everywhere, just do your work honestly. This Huanhuaxuan is an excellent place to go, the rewards for the New Year's holidays are richer than elsewhere, and the life is light, and besides, the waiting master has the status of a son-in-law, and there is a wife to suppress, those people dare not do too much, and when you are older, the third young master should marry a wife again. As long as you're not confused, it's great. Who knew that the bigger your temper became, the more frizzy you became, and you would quarrel with people recklessly, and actually cause such a disaster, so what should I say about you?! β
Chunying drooped her head, a little frustrated: "Then what now?" Does the third young master really want to punish me? What bad luck...... I obviously got into a fight with someone to help him get food......"
Qiu Yu glared at her: "You still say?!" After a pause, he said slowly: "You will be honest with me in the future!" It's okay to hang out and about! Don't quarrel with people at every turn! The people in the courtyard of the eldest young master, you don't have much to do with them! When I'm free, stay in the room and do needlework! β
Chunying flattened her mouth: "I do needlework all day, my eyes are tired, and my fingers have hundreds of holes......
Qiu Yu's eyes widened: "You still have the face to say this?!" You have loved to do needlework since you were a child, who knows that since you were sick, even the needlework has been wasted, embroidering flowers is crooked, not at all as clever as before, and now you should practice it well, is it possible that you really want to leave your craft behind?! β
Chun Ying's heart was shocked, and she slowly held back her breath. She was so forgetful! I actually forgot that she is not the real Lu Chunying! How can you rest assured to be coquettish to Lu Chunying's sister?! Her eyes rolled a few times, and she bowed her head and answered, "I know......"
Qiu Yu was not at ease, and gave a lot of instructions, but Chun Ying obediently responded and spoke extra carefully, for fear of revealing a little of her secret. It wasn't until a little girl came to invite Qiuyu that she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seemingly...... really wants to live a low-key and low-key life, she still wants to go out peacefully, but I don't know, what kind of punishment will she receive this time?
