Chapter 201: The So-called Loyal Maid (1)
Chunying was in a hurry, and she couldn't care about spending the night at home. As soon as the wedding banquet ended, I said hello to my parents and the newlyweds, and hurried back home.
At this time, it was already dark, Huo Yi was wearing a slightly formal regular clothes, and was reading a book on the beauty couch. Behind the curtain, there was a faint sound of water, and Yinhuan and Little Lotus were sweating profusely carrying buckets in and out, and under Ju'er's command, buckets of hot and cold water were transported into the room, obviously to prepare for Huo Yi to take a bath. Aunt Qing was knocking on the scriptures and chanting Buddha in the room, and most of the other girls in the courtyard went back to the room except for two waiting outside the door to be dispatched.
Chunying stood outside the door of the upper room for a while, and then called Ju'er's name, Ju'er hurriedly walked out, and said without waiting for her to speak, "Are you back?" Go and rest first, and I'll tell you there, miss. There's something going on inside, and I don't need you. Without waiting for Chunying to respond, she went back to the room.
Chun Ying was annoyed for a while, stomped her feet back to the room, closed the door and window and pushed Shi'er on the bed: "Get up quickly, I have something to discuss with you!" Shi'er woke up in a daze: "What's wrong?" Why did you close all the doors and windows? It's going to be hot and dead! ”
Chunying threw her a fan, and then leaned over and whispered all Mei Xiang's words, Shi'er sat up suddenly: "What did you say?!" It was hitting Chunying's head, and it hurt so much that her tears were about to come out.
Shi'er hurriedly apologized. pulled her to ask her about the matter in detail, and her face turned white: "My good man, which one killed a thousand knives to sue for this?!" Come out, those of us who serve are all dead! ”
Chunying rubbed her head and said, "Although I haven't heard of such a thing from a high-ranking family, I know that the consequences will be very serious. Didn't some people say that according to the religion, men and women are not allowed to give and receive in private? We don't have this as girls, and we know to avoid men outside, but the daughters are found to have done this kind of thing, and their reputation is going to be damaged, right? Sister Mei Xiang told us to be vigilant, don't be affected, are you saying that even if we don't know, we will be severely punished?! ”
"Naturally, you will be punished!" Shi'er hurriedly said, "When things go out, not only Miss Biao, but also the second and third misses, as well as the Miss Fan family in the guest house, will have their reputation damaged, and our Hou Mansion will lose face!" The old lady and the lady can't be ruthless to Miss Cousin, so they can only take out their anger on us, if they are ruthless, it is not impossible to kill us directly! What can I do about this?! What a grievance! Miss Cousin did this kind of thing without telling us, but now she is telling us to carry the black cauldron! ”
Chunying pressed her shoulder: "Calm down!" Sister Mei Xiang has come to remind us, which means that things have taken a turn for the better! Let's go and make it clear to Miss Biao, and tell her to find a way to cover up the matter! ”
"You're not crazy, are you?!" Shi'er's eyes widened. "Miss Biao has been hiding from us, so it can be seen that she doesn't want others to know, and if you say this to her, isn't it tantamount to admitting that we know? At this time, she knows the severity, find a way to get over this hurdle, and then settle accounts with us when she has nothing to do in the future, what should we do?! No young lady wants to have such a handle in her hands! ”
"Now that my life is at stake, I can't take care of it!" Chunying gritted her teeth, "If you don't tell her, how can we have the ability to cover up the past?" Mrs. has always hated Miss Biao, and she has long wanted to take advantage of her shortcomings! Things are going to go wrong, and it's us who suffer! Let Miss Biao pass this hurdle first, if she wants to do it to us in the future, she will have to wait for the opportunity, the big deal is that we pretend to be sick and leave the house, and have been hiding at home until she gets married, she is a guest relative, can she still chase us home? ! What's more, she may not have such guts! ”
Murdering someone at a relative's house? This doesn't seem to be something Huo Yi would do, and when the time comes, in order to avoid follow-up troubles, she is afraid that she will move back to her own house in a hurry!
Shi'er hesitated for a long time. After all, he nodded: "I'll go with you!" Let's stay away from each other, if there is anything, there are many people in this courtyard! ”
Chunying pressed her hand with some emotion, and immediately took the comb to comb her hair, and the two hurriedly cleaned up and went to the upper room.
The mother-in-law waiting under the porch had already left, Ju'er was talking in the house, and lowered her voice, but she could still hear her telling Yinhuan to rummage through the clothes that Huo Yi would wear tomorrow, and the little lotus replied to Huo Yi, the water was ready, and she could start bathing, so the latter stood up and walked inside.
Chunying and Shi'er entered the door, Ju'er saw it immediately, and frowned and looked over: "Miss wants to bathe, you should avoid it first, and talk about it tomorrow!" ”
Shi'er pursed her lips, Chun Ying ignored her, and said directly: "Little Lotus and Yinhuan go out." Yinhuan hesitated a little, and the little lotus looked at Ju'er timidly, Ju'er had annoyance on her face, and her willow eyebrows raised: "What are you doing?!" ”
Chunying just repeated "get out". Since Yinhuan and Little Lotus entered this courtyard, they were trained in her hands, and Jiwei was still there, and when they saw this, they immediately put down their work and walked out. Shi'er followed behind and quickly closed the door, guarding the door, staring at everyone in the room.
Huo Yi frowned slightly. walked to the side of the curtain, didn't speak, only glanced at Ju'er. Ju'er angrily scolded Chunying: "What do you mean?!" Doing this kind of thing in front of the young lady is obviously not taking the young lady seriously! ”
Chun Ying said lightly: "What I want to say can't be heard, when I'm done, it's not too late for you to call someone in." Then he turned directly to Huo Yi: "When I went home today, someone told me that I don't know who it was, and I went to my wife to complain, saying that Miss was communicating privately with people outside the house, and I was afraid that it would hinder the reputation of the third young master." The wife was worried that the young lady would do something ugly, so she called someone to inquire at the second gate. ”
Huo Yi's face turned pale, and his right hand tightly grasped the curtain. Ju'er scolded in a trembling voice: "Which bastard made up nonsense!" You dare to talk in front of the young lady?! You are Miss's girl, how can you allow others to slander Miss?! We don't dare to use a girl like you anymore! ”
was convicted of a crime before she opened her mouth, and Chun Ying sneered in her heart: "I just came to remind me with good intentions." If you don't have a ghost in your heart, what's so terrible? Look at your little face is as white as paper, you have to pretend to be like it, right?! Shi'er even said coldly by the door: "What you did, do you really think no one knows?" Miss has lived here for a few years, and she has never moved things from Huofu, and she has never moved big luggage back! In these three months, more than a dozen boxes have been moved! We can't compare to Ju'er and Dong'er who serve by Miss's side, but they are all waiting for us! Are we really dead?! ”
Ju'er stared at Shi'er angrily, and Chun Ying took two steps closer to Huo Yi: "Miss, you have probably been used to it for a few years. So I didn't pay attention for a while. Have you forgotten that it was very convenient to communicate with the outside world and send things before, because Nanqi is here?! Now that Nanqi is married, Manager Wang has abdicated again, and the second door has already been replaced, and you still ask them to continue to pass on the message, it's too careless, right? ”
Huo Yi's face was so white that he almost lost color, but there was a bit of stubbornness between his eyebrows: "It's my negligence, so I'll ask them to check!" I'd like to see what charges they have against me! I'm not his daughter. Why should you be wronged like this?! ”
Ju'er's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she cried: "Miss, if your reputation is damaged, how will you see people in the future?!" ”
Someone knocked on the door, and Shi'er quickly asked, "Who is it?!" ”
"It's me, what's wrong?" Aunt Qing's voice came from the other side of the door, Shi'er glanced back at Chunying, Chunying nodded, she opened the door and let Aunt Qing in, making sure that there was no one else outside the door, and then closed the door panel tightly.
Aunt Qing looked at the situation in the house and asked Chunying a little seriously: "What happened?!" Chunying didn't speak, Ju'er pounced on her and said, "Auntie! Chunying said that someone went to her uncle's wife to complain about the correspondence between Miss and Young Master Gu...... "Suddenly found that she had missed her mouth, and she stopped her mouth with remorse and bit her lower lip tightly.
Aunt Qing was startled and looked at Chunying, Chunying said all the previous words, and Aunt Qing was also at a loss: "What can I do?" Miss, this matter can't be exposed by them, if your reputation is bad, a person with a clean family like the Gu family will also have to be faced! ”
Huo Yi shook his head: "My aunt won't make trouble, no matter how confused she is, she won't risk ruining the reputation of the girls in the Hou Mansion!" ”
Chunying added a little anger to her heart, and said coldly: "Miss Biao is calm now, have you ever thought about what will happen to us girls?!" Ju'er Dong'er is a member of your Huo family, and the wife will not overstep her authority if she is angry, but those of us who were born in the Hou Mansion still have our lives?! Miss Biao chanted Buddha in front of her parents all day long, and went to the temple to give alms every month, with this kindness, it is better to think about the lives of the people around her! ”
Huo Yi seemed to be taken aback: "What did you say?!" ”
"What do I say? Don't Miss Biao know that any young lady from a big family has done ugly things with foreign men, and her life is worry-free, but none of the people waiting around her can escape death? ! Don't think that if your wife cares about the reputation of the Hou Mansion, she won't publicize the matter. The young lady of the Hou Mansion, but one of them was born to her? If she cared about the reputation of the Hou Mansion, she wouldn't have asked someone to investigate! Chunying took a few steps closer, gritted her teeth and added a few more words, "Miss Biao has lived in the Hou Mansion for a few years, and there are your maternal grandmother and uncle here, and you have always been very fond of you, are you just for a man outside, and you don't even care about their reputation?!" ”
This was already very serious, but Shi'er seemed to feel that it was not enough, and came over and added: "I used to only be a serious person when Miss Biao was a serious person, and in order to support the family business, I had to put up a shelf, but I didn't expect to be wrong!" No matter what Miss Table thinks, this private letter is a private letter, and the ladies do it, but it is very unruly! ”
Huo Yi's face was pale, and when her body shook, she was about to fall backwards, but Aunt Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and angrily scolded Chunying and Shi'er: "Hugh is presumptuous!" How did the young lady treat you in the past? How do I treat you? You talk to Miss like this, is there any heavenly reason?! What a couple of white-eyed wolves! ”
Chunying really didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "Auntie, it's okay for you to treat me, but Miss treats us, can't you say how good?" Except for the rewards of the New Year's holidays and the rewards of weekdays, she has never put down the shelf in front of us! The reward is available to all, and since we have done our duty, we deserve one. Besides, we're here to remind Miss not to be calculated, it's a good intention, why did you become a white-eyed wolf?! If you talk like this, is there any heavenly reason?! ”
Shi'er said coolly in the back: "Isn't it?" If there is something to discuss, he will drive us away, without even saying an excuse, and stay in the upper room for a long time, Dong'er will stare at us as if we are thieves! I've grown so big, I've never been so aggrieved, but what can I do? It's just a girl, so I have to endure it. But if my aunt says how good Miss treats us, I won't admit it! ”
She has been angry a lot in the past few years, and she can't wait to vent her anger when she takes this opportunity. Chunying saw that Huo Yi's face was getting worse and worse, with tears on her face, Ju'er's expression was already very annoyed, if she continued to argue, she was afraid that she would delay the business, so she stopped and said, "Okay!" Don't talk about it! Miss Cousin, now Mrs. is going to call the people on the second door to check, and there will be action as soon as tomorrow. You'd better find a way to deal with it! Don't you want to marry your sweetheart smoothly and cleanly?! ”
Huo Yi was shocked and looked up: "You...... What's your idea?! Aunt Qing panicked: "Why don't you find the messenger overnight and tell him not to say it?!" It will work with money. ”
Chun Ying snorted: "That's simply three hundred taels of silver here!" There are many cases of sending messages in on weekdays, won't my aunt say that the letter was given to you by someone else?! Just borrowed the name of Miss Watch?! ”
Aunt Qing suddenly realized: "Yes! The previous letter, which had no name on the outer cover, had been forwarded by the steward of the house. If others ask, just push it directly on them! After that, he complained about Chunying: "It's not a big deal, but you are so afraid of people!" ”
Chun Ying said angrily: "If I hadn't thought of an excuse in advance, wouldn't Miss Biao have directly admitted it when she heard her wife's question?!" After that, he turned to Huo Yi again: "Shi'er and I are afraid that we will be affected by Miss Cousin and die an unknown death, so we will intervene in this matter." In fact, Miss Biao's actions are really not secretive, and ordinary girls may not know about it, but those of us who serve in the near future will definitely be aware of it. Let's open the skylight and say something, Miss Cousin, since that Young Master Gu is in high school, why didn't he come to the door to propose? If it drags on any longer, what are you going to do if the old lady mentions that she wants to engage you and the third young master?! ”
Huo Yi's face, which was slowly recovering its blood color, turned white again: "This ......" Aunt Qing hurriedly said: "The old lady has not been doing well recently, and the young lady is afraid that her old man will be angry!" Besides, the old man of the Gu family has already left for Beijing to report on his work, and he will arrive soon, wouldn't it be better for him to propose marriage? ”
"When is it going to be dragged around?!" Chunying frowned, and Shi'er said angrily: "Hurry up and cross the bright road!" If you are so worried every day, your life will be shortened by a few years! As long as the matter is settled, no one will say how many letters Miss Biao has with the outside world! ”
Huo Yi's face turned red, straightened up and gently pushed Aunt Qing away, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go tell my grandmother!" ”。.。
