Chapter 179: Someone Worries About It (I)
Chunying watched it attentively for a few days. I found that Miss Biao is indeed closer to Nanqi than before, in the past, if she wanted to send a letter to the Huo family's old mansion or Huo Er's mansion, she usually sent the girl she brought from the Huo family to run errands, but the last two times, it was Nanqi who went out with the letter! The latter also received more rewards than before, and no matter who came before or after, he seemed to be the number one henchman in front of Miss Cousin.
Chunying actually doesn't care much about this kind of thing, but because of Nanqi's prestige, the maid in the courtyard has intentionally or unintentionally stammered, so she neglected her, and even Zigui and Liu Lu, the two newcomers, will abandon the tasks she gave in order to help Nanqi do things, and the thrush is such an honest and stable person, it is inevitable that Nanqi's new summer clothes will be put in the first place, and Chunying's will be directly placed behind the girls of the Huo family.
Chunying was a little unhappy in her heart, and she wasn't jealous of negative emotions such as red eyes, but can these people not be so snobbish?! No, she has to do something, otherwise the prestige she has accumulated in the past three years will be ruined. Then how will she manage people in the future?!
When Miss Biao once again announced that she would go back to the old house the next day to deal with housework, Chunying thought carefully for a long time, then went to the small kitchen to cook a pot of longan red date tea, held it to the upper room, and saw that the other maids had gone out, Huo Yi was reading under the lamp, so she walked over gently and said: "Miss, I made some longan red date tea, can you drink a little to calm your nerves?" If it's not early today, and you're going to go out tomorrow, you'd better rest early. ”
Huo Yi put down the book, looked up and saw that it was her, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, I'm a little thirsty." ”
Chun Ying took the cup and poured half a cup for her. Huo Yi took two sips and closed his eyes to recuperate. Chunying didn't bother, and after a while, she opened her eyes and asked, "Is there anything else?" She was a little curious, according to her usual habits, Chunying would usually retreat at this time, leaving her alone quietly and alone, why did she suddenly lose her eyes today?
Chunying smiled and said softly, "I see that Miss seems to be very tired, but she has been tired lately?" Do you want to talk to the outside, don't go tomorrow first, and rest for a day? ”
Huo Yi shook his head: "It's already been said......" After a pause, he continued. "My brother's birthday is coming up and I just want to...... The family went to see how the stewards had arranged and bought him a good gift. ”
Chunying thought to herself, where can I buy gifts? Anyway, it's all left to the housekeepers to do, do you have to go back to the old house? She hid this question in her heart and said, "Actually...... When it comes to the little master, there is one thing about the slave and maid, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
Huo Yi glanced up at her: "Tell me to hear it?" ”
Chun Ying glanced outside the door, took a step closer, and said in a low voice: "Little young master...... At the end of the year, I will be ten years old, and after a few years of studying, I must have grown a lot, and some things ...... Shouldn't he know that too? He grew up in the second master's house since he was a child, except for when his wife and young lady entered Beijing that year, he lived in the Huo family's house for a few months, and he never went back for the rest of the time. The slave maid was just worried, after all, the little young master was the heir of the Huo family, and he had not returned to his home for many years, and those who didn't know outside were afraid that there would be gossip. ”
Huo Yi's face changed: "Who would say?!" What are you hearing?! ”
Chun Ying hurriedly said: "The slave maid has been in the mansion, where is the opportunity to hear the words of the outsiders?" It's just that I listen to my sisters talk about it on weekdays, and I know that some people in the Huo family don't give up. In the past few years, the bad luck of going to Beijing to find Miss was sent away outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, and only the second master suffered some idleness. But this is nothing, the little young master is the heir of the emperor himself, who dares to say that he is not justified? Who would dare to rob him of what he deserved? ”
Huo Yi's face softened a little: "Then why are you saying this tonight?" ”
The slave maid just thought that in the past, the little young master lived in the second master's house, because the young lady was young and lived in the Hou Mansion, and the little young master lived in his own house alone, and no one took care of and taught, so it was better to live well in the second master's house, and it was also because the wife and the young lady took pity on the little young master and separated from his relatives. It's just that it's not what it used to be, first, the little young master has grown up a lot, and he is sensible, and he is no longer a child who needs to be taken care of in everything, and secondly, ......" Chunying paused and glanced at Huo Yi carefully, "Miss is a boudoir, taking care of housework, and how many years can she take care of it?" It is very important to let the little young master know some mundane affairs as early as possible, so as not to ...... in the future Suddenly take over, will be in a hurry......" Seeing that Huo Yi's expression was a little unnatural, he hurriedly added: "Of course, the little young master is still young, and it is too much to ask him to learn now, but the family is in charge of things everywhere." He should be told to admit it. When the little master grows up, everyone will feel more cordial and attentive, right? ”
To be honest, Chunying has watched it for a few years, and feels that it is understandable that Huo Yi has pinched the power of the family in her hands, but she obviously has no intention of holding the power of the Huo family for a lifetime.
However, a little boy who is less than ten years old, and no one teaches him economic mundane affairs, will he look at those things? Not to mention the self-proclaimed innocent gentleman Lord Hanlin, in the end, the account books were still taken over by Jinxiu. If it goes on like this, when Huo Yi gets married, it will be difficult to take care of his mother's housework, right? What will you do when you want this little boy? He lives in his biological parents' house all the year round, but he is afraid that he doesn't even know a few stewards of the Huo family, so how can people obey him? If everything depends on the stewards of his subordinates, then if one or two of them are not kind enough, won't they only suffer losses?
Chunying felt that it was too wrong for Huo Yi to be such a smart person but neglect to teach his younger brother. For her. This may be an opportunity.
Huo Yi was silent, looking at her expression, she seemed to have understood the meaning of Chunying's words, but she had her own considerations, and after a while, she spoke: "My brother is still young...... In other people's families, a boy of this age is just playful, and the second uncle is strict enough...... How can I bear ......" his eyes turned red, and he shook his head with a wry smile, "That's it." I'll take care of him for a few more years...... When he's older, I'm relieved......"
Does this mean that she will postpone her marriage? Chun Ying wasn't sure if the Hou Mansion or the Third Young Master would agree, after all, the old lady was old, and she didn't know how many years she could live, and the Third Young Master had reached marriageable age. She turned her head and looked at Huo Yi a few more times, and suddenly remembered the conversation between Miss Biao and Mrs. Li in the room that she overheard under the window back then, and wondered if it was because Miss Cousin had a heart, so she was not very happy about this marriage? In fact, this marriage contract has only been acquiesced in for several years, and it has never been explicitly stated, so it may not be accurate......
Chunying lowered her head and thought about it before she said, "Miss is dedicated to sacrificing a lot for the little master...... But that was a few years of work. There is one thing that Miss has thought about before...... The little young master has been kept in the second master's mansion for many years, and I heard that he rarely walks outside, except for the big festival to come to the Hou Mansion to ask for peace, he rarely comes to be a guest. This...... In any case, they are close relatives...... When the young lady is here, you can still take care of him for a moment or two, and ...... in the future," suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to say this, and hurriedly changed his words," ...... In the future, when the little master grows up, he will always have to think about his own future, and when the time comes, it will not be enough to rely on the second master. Why don't you let the little master come here more? First, it can deepen the friendship between sisters and brothers, and secondly, it can ...... It is also to let the old lady, the Hou Ye and the wife be familiar with the little young master, and they can take care of it in the future, even if the little young master is wronged in the future, there are people who can make decisions for him......"
Huo Yi seemed to be very angry, and his eyes stared at Chun Ying: "Who do you think will make him wronged?!" ”
Chun Ying hurriedly said: "Maybe it's because the slaves and maids are too careful, but the Huo family has never given up, I'm afraid that they will rely on the identity of the elders to oppress the little young master in the future, the second master cares about his reputation, and it's not easy to take care of it, doesn't the little young master even have a person to complain?" She quietly wiped her sweat and decided that it would be better not to point out the Huo family servants. Although she felt that the stewards who had only obeyed the orders of the eldest lady for many years might not be able to look down on the little heir who had not met a few times in the same party. Who can guarantee that every child is loyal? Even if everyone is very loyal, it depends on the target......
Huo Yi's face looked better, and there was a bit of resentment in his eyes: "It turned out to be them!" Frowning, I felt that what Chunying said was also reasonable, if she got married in the future...... No matter which family you marry, it's not good to meddle in your mother's affairs, and if the clan comes again, if the second uncle doesn't care, it's really ...... She can't make her brother suffer!
Chun Ying saw that her face was a little relaxed, so she sighed and said, "Reasoning, slaves and maids shouldn't be troublesome, but I have this idea in my heart, and I am a little anxious when I see that the young lady doesn't seem to have such thoughts." If the young lady feels unhappy when she hears it, it will be regarded as the slave and maid talking nonsense, and if the young lady thinks that the slave and maid have some truth in what she said, then ...... It's better to think about it as soon as possible......" poured another half cup of red date tea and put it in Huo Yi's hand, "Miss, don't think too much, it's still early, drink two more sips of tea, and rest early, right?" If you have anything to worry about, you might as well go back to the house and discuss it with someone. Then step back gently.
Back in her room, Chunying thought carefully about what Fang had just said, and felt that although it was a bit risky, there was no big problem overall. In the future, I will maintain such an attitude, not much to say, only remind a few words on key issues, and then let Miss Table figure it out by herself. She is a girl from the Hou Mansion, and it is inconvenient for her to get involved in the affairs of the Huo family, which is enough.
Chun Ying quietly continued to do her own thing, arranging chores in the courtyard, teaching newcomers, arranging meals, making new clothes for the watch lady, making new clothes and shoes for herself in her spare time, and not asking much about Huo Yi's return home. A few days later, Aunt Qing suddenly sent someone to find her, and when she met, she didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly a few times, and then suddenly smiled: "You girl, you are really a hearted person, but in the past, I underestimated you." ”
Chunying thought that Miss Biao had probably told her all her words, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't understand what my aunt is saying." ”
Aunt Qing covered her mouth and smiled, and pulled her to sit down: "Good boy, I said before, you are a clever person, but you are still a little hot." In the past few years, I have watched coldly, and I am anxious for you, obviously not stupid, why don't you know how to be likable? Is it because the anger of the year has not disappeared? Until now, I don't know that you are no longer angry, you know everything in your heart, but you don't like to say it. When something really matters, you will still speak. ”
Chunying bowed her head and played with braids with a well-behaved face: "Someone said all those things, why should I join in the fun?" As long as Miss and Aunt knew. ”
Aunt Qing touched her head: "Good boy, you have such thoughts, but it is not in vain that I trust you." ”
Chun Ying continued to lower her head and whispered, "I know that my aunt treats me well, so I think every day that Miss and my aunt can live a long life and everything goes well." ”
Aunt Qing smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, it's good that you have such a mind." Said with a look of regret: "It's a pity that when things were busy, I forgot to ask your parents to come over, if your father is now in charge of our family, wouldn't everyone be happy?" ”
Chunying's heart moved: "It will be the same in the future, don't you say...... Is Miss going to marry the third young master? ”
Aunt Qing smiled a little reluctantly: "That...... It's not the same ......" suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, your father doesn't seem to be happy in the store, doesn't he?" I've heard people say that someone is causing trouble for him? ”
Chunying had never heard of it before, and was taken aback: "I haven't heard of it?" After thinking about it, "Yes, because the business in the store is good, some people are jealous of that seat, this kind of thing is common, and my father didn't pay attention to it." ”
Aunt Qing sighed: "The Hou family has a big business, and it is inevitable that such a person will appear, which is really annoying." She took Chunying's hand, "Or...... Why don't you tell your father, come to our shop? Now the shop is useless! If one of them is half as capable as your father, we don't have to worry. How is it? Just say hello to Mr. Wang, and since you are your father, Miss and I can rest assured. ”
Chun Ying was stunned. What is it called? It turns out that Yahuan is doing so well that even her family will be remembered?。.。
