Saying that, Erniang saluted to the Sun family and the Lian family and walked out. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

Because she was still a child, Lian Shi didn't stop her and let her out of the house.

As soon as Erniang got out of Sun's main room, she stumbled again, but she quickly held on to the door frame again.

"Second Miss, are you alright? Slave and maid help you? The little maid at the door hurriedly stretched out her hand to support Erniang.

"No need, I'm fine, what's your name?" Erniang, let the smile on your face be as normal as possible.

"Back to the second miss, slave agarwood."

"Agarwood, can you please help me go to Fangzhi Courtyard. Let the people in my yard find my eldest maid, Hongyu, and ask her to help me bring the pills that the doctor prepared for me a few days ago. Erniang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quietly stuffed the red gold earrings that she had already taken off into the hand that Agarwood was holding her.

Agarwood was startled, and was about to push the things in his hand back, but Erniang held her hand tightly and couldn't move. Others only thought that she couldn't stand on her feet and wanted to borrow strength.

Agarwood had no choice but to give up: "Yes, Second Miss, the slave will go." Saying that, he handed Erniang to another little maid at the door, and went to call someone to be on duty at the door for him, and then hurried to the east courtyard.

Agarwood arrived at the East Courtyard, but did not go in the direction of Fangzhi Courtyard, but turned a corner and went to Hefeng Courtyard.

As soon as Sanniang sent Wang Jing away, she heard a report that Agarwood asked to see her. Sanniang was a little surprised that Agarwood would come to Hefeng Courtyard to find her at this time, but she also immediately ordered people to come in and talk.

Agarwood came in and finished saluting Sanniang, and said with a smile: "The maid was ordered by the second lady to go to Fangzhi Courtyard to get the medicine, thinking that today Mama Chang asked me to send some mint paste to Sister Sanqi and came over by the way, and the maid also took this opportunity to say hello to the third lady." ”

Sanniang sent the little girl to call Sanqi to come over. Only Bai Ying and Bai Guo were left in the house.

"How's your left ear now? Does it still hurt? Sanniang asked softly.

Agarwood was stunned, she didn't expect the third miss to still remember her injury, and couldn't help but be grateful: "The maid has been much better, thank you for the medicine of the third miss and Sister Bai Ying." ”

Sanniang waved her hand and said seriously: "If there is any discomfort, you have to say it carefully." Don't be sloppy. It's a lifelong thing, and it should be cured at a young age. I recently learned of a doctor with good medical skills, and you can tell Bai Ying about your situation in detail later. I'll ask the Fifth Young Master to help you inquire when he's free. ”

The gratitude in Agarwood's heart is beyond words, although because she is a maid in the old lady's yard, she secretly benefits her a lot on weekdays. Just like the second lady just now. But after all, she is just a third-class little maid. On weekdays, she only does the work of making curtains, serving tea and water, and the old lady will not tell her to do anything important, and there is very little news she can find.

The third lady may have the intention of wooing her, but she is very grateful to be able to bother like this, just to win over a little girl like her.

"Thank you, third lady." Agarwood is deeply blessed to Sanniang.

Thinking of his intention today, Agarwood told him what he had just done in Songling Courtyard, and finally took out the earrings that Erniang had rewarded her.

"This is what the second lady just forced to give to the maid."

It was a pair of red gold onyx earrings. It looks very exquisite, not like it is used to reward little girls.

Sanniang looked at the pair of earrings and groaned for a while, and asked, "She only said that you should go to Fangzhi Courtyard and ask her eldest maid Hongyu to deliver medicine." ”

Agarwood nodded: "It stands to reason." This is the servants' business, but the reward given by the second lady is too expensive. Mama Chang said that she should let the maid come to the Hefeng Courtyard first to listen to what the third lady said. ”

Sanniang thought for a while and asked Bai Yingdao on the side, "Do you know who Hongyu is?" ”

Bai Ying frowned and thought for a while: "It doesn't look like the name is a child born in our house, and it doesn't look like it was bought from outside in the house, it must have been brought back from Datong by the second lady this time." It's just that I've seen the maid next to the second lady a few times, but I've never heard of a girl named Hongyu. ”

Sanniang nodded.

The Lian clan was so angry this time that he didn't even care about the Sun clan's face. It can be seen that something big happened, and she mentioned the family and the ancestral hall again, could it be that the Liu family was exposed? But how did Lian know?

If the Liu family and Erniang are really from outside forces, then they must have to contact the outside. Who is this person in charge of connecting with the outside world?

It's the first time she's heard Hongyu's name, is she the one who contacts the outside?

"Third Miss, is the maid going to Fangzhi Courtyard to deliver a message for Second Miss?" Agarwood asked.

Hearing this, Sanniang smiled and said to Agarwood: "Go ahead, you can do whatever the second lady says." "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" You wait for this maid named Hongyu to go to Songling Courtyard with you. ”

Agarwood received the order and saluted Sanniang: "The servant knows, the servant will go." ”

Sanniang asked Bai Ying to send agarwood out, and by the way, she asked her to inquire about the symptoms of agarwood's ears, and when Bai Ying came back, Sanniang instructed Bai Ying: "You find an opportunity to go to the outer courtyard, tell Xuan Gongzi about the situation of agarwood, and ask him if he can be cured." Then I asked him to help me pay attention to the maid who would go out of the Wang family later, and whether there was any unusual behavior. ”

Bai Ying's family has someone who works as an errand in the outer courtyard, so Bai Ying is relatively convenient.

After Agarwood came out of the Lotus Wind Courtyard, she went to Fangzhi Temple. At this time, the Liu family had already been sent back by the people of Yingxue Academy, and Wang Dong also specially instructed people to take good care of her and not let her come out. And the mothers-in-law and maids who were closer to the Liu family were all beaten and driven out of the house, and they didn't even have time to come back to clean up their things.

At this time, Fangzhi Courtyard was already panicked, and the people who stayed behind even spoke a little quieter than before.

They also sensitively felt that the backyard of the third room was probably going to change.

The second lady was punished by the Sun family, stayed in the Songling Courtyard and has not returned, the Liu family was disgusted by the third master, and the most important thing is that the Liu family has no children, and now they can't even find someone to intercede with their mother and son. People who are good at grasping the direction of the wind naturally smell the powerful relationship in this. Therefore, in Fangzhi Courtyard, even the calm is on the surface, but secretly there is already an undercurrent surging.

The Wang family's slaves and maids still have some ways to go around at this time, thinking about finding a promising errand for themselves. and was unwilling to stay in Fangzhi Courtyard to accompany the Liu family to hang himself.

The two big maids beside Erniang also closed the door at this time and quietly discussed.

"I have already gone to my cousin to tell her, she has some friendship with Chang Mama in the old lady's room, and in a few days she will find a way to transfer me to Miss Sixth on an errand. What about you? Have you thought about it? ”

A maid named Lily beside Erniang whispered to her companion. Seeing that there was still hesitation in her companion's eyes, Lily was anxious.

"I said mint, you! Why are you still stubborn? Look at the girls in our yard who have a good end! The red silk beside Madame, Cui'er and a few other big girls all folded in. Hurry up and give your aunt a message, and ask her to help you keep an eye on any good errands in other yards. It's too late, and it's all snatched away. ”

"But, the second lady, she's always the lady in the house, won't it be okay? Besides, we slaves and maidservants can't see that our masters are in trouble and scatter. Disloyalty, this is our greatest taboo as slaves. I think. Wouldn't it be better if we followed the second lady to Datong later? It's only been a few days. ”

Although Lily is also the son of the Wang family, it is only two generations, and the foundation is still shallow. Mint has been a slave of the royal family since his great-grandfather's generation, and his concept of loyalty to his master is deeper.

"Ouch, I said why are you an elm pimple? Loyalty is due, but to whom it is also divided! Look at this face of yours, it's still swollen! There is a saying that 'a man dies for his confidant', and that is because his master appreciates him. But we have been with the second lady for so many years, in addition to the big and small beatings, what else? Others do not come close to serve them. I thought we had good luck and followed a good master. But only we know how many wounds we have! You still want to die for this kind of master? ”

"I'm ......" Mint stroked the wound on her face, her eyes a little gloomy.

Lily sighed. And said: "And you still want to go to Datong with the second lady?" Wake up! The lord will only take the new lady to take office this time, and Mrs. Liu and Miss Liu are afraid that they will have to stay in the Wang family's own house. ”

Mint was shocked. He looked up and said, "How can this be?" ”

Lily glanced at Mint: "You are too honest to ask for any news." Your family has a better way than mine. Last time, when the fourth old lady came, she said that she wanted the old lady to detain the second lady at home and discipline her well, and this time the second lady made a mistake again, and the old lady looked at it today...... Anyway, our lady is going to be unlucky this time. Think about it, the lord didn't even care about his wife's face this time, and looked like he was going to bring her to office? If the lady doesn't go, how can the second lady go? The old man must have brought this new lady with him this time. ”

"I'm ......" Mint was about to speak, but the door was pushed open from the outside.

A maid who was about the same age as the two of them, with an ordinary face and a few freckles on her face, pushed the door in, and saw that there were two people in the room, and the maid was also a little surprised.

"Ruby, are you back?" Mint stood up with some weakness and beckoned.

Ruby glanced over the two of them, nodded faintly, and did not speak, but went to her bed. This is a two-person room, where Mint and Ruby live.

Lily pouted when she saw that Hongyu didn't like to deal with people: "Which lady should I be, it turned out to be Sister Hongyu." You are relaxed, although we are holding the same monthly example, but there is always no one, Miss has more than you and less of you is no different, where did you come back today? ”

Mint pulled Lily's hand and motioned her to stop talking, Lily rolled her eyes and was about to stab Hongyu a few more words, but someone knocked on the door outside and whispered, "Sister Hongyu is not there?" ”

Hongyu walked back to the door and opened it, "What's the matter?" Seeing that there was a new little maid standing outside the door, Hongyu asked expressionlessly.

The little maid smiled shyly: "Sister Hongyu, Songling Yuan sent someone to look for you." ”

Hongyu's eyes flashed when she heard this, and then nodded: "Got it, I'll clean up and go over." As he spoke, he closed the door.

I didn't want to have a crisp voice next to me and said, "Sister Hongyu, the slave maid is the agarwood in the old lady's yard, and she came to invite you on the order of the second lady." ”

Hongyu was stunned, and turned her head to find a little girl standing under the porch. She had just opened the door halfway, so she didn't notice.

Ruby frowned and looked at the little maid who had just knocked on the door.

The little maid was even more embarrassed: "Sister Agarwood said that she wanted to invite you in person, and she was ordered by the second lady, so the maid had to bring her." ”

"Sister Hongyu, don't blame her, because the second lady also explained a few words. The maid was afraid that she would not be able to explain clearly at a young age and make a mistake, so she was cheeky and found it herself. Agarwood smiled.

Hearing this, Hongyu had to open the door a little more: "What did Miss tell you?" ”

Agarwood frowned: "The second young lady's face was not very good when she came out of the old lady's room. It seems that there is some old disease. She asked her servant to come over quickly to find Sister Hongyu, and said that she wanted you to send her the medicine that the doctor had prescribed a few days ago. ”

Hongyu lowered her eyes: "What else did the second lady explain?" ”

Agarwood shook her head: "Second Miss said to let you go over and tell you in person, Sister Hongyu, hurry up and pack up and find medicine." The servant is waiting for you right here. ”

Hongyu glanced at the agarwood. He closed the door again.

The lilies and mints in the house naturally heard the outside talking in the house.

"I really didn't expect it. At a critical time, the second miss still thinks of you. Seeing Hongyu go and return, Lily pulled the corners of her mouth and said, with some sourness in her words.

She and Mint are the sons of the Wang family, and they have been with Miss for several years, but they don't know where to come from when they bought it back when this lady was in Datong.

Although Ruby is not often around Miss, Miss will always talk to her in the house about something, and she and Mint will be sent out by Miss to guard the door.

And all these years. She and Mint didn't know how much they were beaten and scolded, but this Hongyu had the ability to coax the young lady and didn't even move a finger of her. This is also the reason why she is not used to seeing rubella. If Ruby is as loyal and hardworking as Mint, she has nothing to say, but she is just a treacherous and cunning person.

Ruby ignored Lily's cynicism. I only stayed in the house for a short time before opening the door again and going out.

Agarwood hurriedly greeted her and walked out with her, because she was about to leave the yard empty-handed. So he was curious: "Sister Hongyu, where is the medicine of the second young lady?" ”

Hongyu said lightly: "Keep it in my purse." What, you want to see? ”

Agarwood hurriedly waved her hand: "The maid is afraid that sister, you will be anxious about Miss's illness for a while, so you will drop the medicine." Miss's medicine, what does the maid want to see, and the maid doesn't know how to distinguish it. ”

Hongyu let out a faint "hmm" and stopped talking.

Agarwood led Hongyu to Songling Courtyard, and when she reached the door, she saw Mama Chang leading several mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists from the courtyard to hurry out.

Agarwood and Ruby hurriedly avoided the side to make way.

Mama Chang saw that the two of them stopped walking. His eyes swept over the agarwood, and he looked the red jade beside her up and down.

"Who is this?" Mama Chang asked suspiciously.

Hongyu lowered her head and said softly: "Slave Hongyu, she is serving by the side of the second lady." The second lady was unwell and asked the slave to bring her medicine. ”

Mama Chang paused when she heard this, and then sighed and said, "Since that's the case, you can go and serve the second lady well." If you need anything, let people come to me. ”

"Thank you, Mama." Ruby bowed her head and thanked her.

Mama Chang sighed again, and then hurried with the mothers-in-law again. It was the direction where Agarwood and Ruby had just come.

When the people were far away, Hongyu raised her head again and stared at the backs of those grandmothers expressionlessly for a long time.

"Sister Ruby?" Agarwood called softly.

Hongyu then withdrew her eyes and followed Agarwood into Songling Courtyard.

"Where are the grandmothers going in such a hurry?" Ruby asked casually.

Agarwood saw that Hongyu was willing to talk to her, but she looked happy: "This, the maid hasn't heard of anything in the yard before, only that the fourth old lady was talking to our old lady before, and sent out the grandmothers and maids in the old lady's room, and even the second lady also came out." ”

Seeing that Hongyu just lowered her head when she heard this, and stopped talking, Agarwood rolled her eyes and said, "If Sister Hongyu wants to know, I can go find someone to investigate." ”

Hongyu raised her head and glanced at Agarwood again, but she did not object.

Agarwood was a little happy, just when she saw a little maid as big as her walking by, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and grabbed her. asked in a low voice, "Mulian, do you know where Mama Chang and the others are going to do in such a hurry?" ”

When the little girl heard this, she glanced at the red jade beside Agarwood, and Agarwood hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, she won't say it, you tell me." ”

Mulian is also a lively age. is not wary of the agarwood that takes care of her on weekdays. Hearing this, he didn't even ask Hongyu which courtyard she was, so she mysteriously leaned into Agarwood's ear and whispered, "Sister Agarwood, you don't know, it seems that something big happened just now." ”

"Oh? What's the big deal? Agarwood made a very surprised expression very facelessly.

Mu Lian was a little proud: "Others may not know yet." I just happened to go to bring tea to Mama Chang, and I heard her say to the mothers-in-law that the old lady had given an order to go to Fangzhi Courtyard to tie up Mrs. Liu in the third room for questioning. ”

"Tie?" Agarwood's eyes widened.

Mu Lian nodded affirmatively: "Mama Chang has always been kind-hearted, and she also pleaded to say that if she tied it with a rope, would it make Mrs. Liu look bad." I didn't want the fourth old lady to scold Mama Chang immediately. And our old lady did not speak on the side. Mama Chang had no choice but to explain like this. ”

"And what did you hear it for?" Agarwood glanced at Hongyu cautiously. Seeing that she lowered her head again, not knowing what she was thinking, she asked again.

Mu Lian furrowed her faint eyebrows, and shook her head with a bitter face: "I've never heard of this, and just now Mama Chang asked what was going on, and Mama Chang said she didn't know either." How can I know something that even Mama Chang doesn't know? Some grandmothers speculated that it was for the things that had just been in the Yingxue Courtyard. ”

The matter of Yingxue Courtyard was naturally reported in Songling Courtyard, and this agarwood also knew about it. Hearing this, he nodded: "You're right. Otherwise, what else could there be? Okay, you go about your errands, and we're leaving. ”

Mulian nodded, turned and walked away.

Agarwood saw that Hongyu didn't speak. Then he said carefully: "Sister Hongyu, don't worry. The old lady is only like this when she is angry. It would be good if she was angry. ”

Hongyu raised her head when she heard this, but she still nodded with no expression on her face: "Lead the way." ”

Agarwood didn't say much, but led Hongyu all the way to the door of the wing where Erniang was, and knocked lightly on the door: "Second Miss, slave Agarwood, I invited Sister Hongyu." ”

After a while, the door creaked open, and a mother-in-law poked her head out, glanced at Agarwood and Hongyu, and said, "Second Miss, please let Hongyu girl in." As he spoke, he walked out of the room and made a gesture of invitation to Ruby.

Ruby glanced at the woman in some surprise, and the woman smiled at her.

"Sister Hongyu, hurry in, the maid and this grandmother are guarding here, if the second lady has any orders, just shout." Agarwood also smiled.

Ruby nodded and entered the small room.

Erniang was already waiting a little anxiously at this time, and when she saw Hongyu coming in, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "What should I do?" It seems that the matter of the ancestral hall has been known to the old lady. ”

Hongyu couldn't help frowning when she saw that Er Niang was so uncontrollable: "Second Miss, the matter is still undecided, don't worry." ”

Erniang took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "How can I not be in a hurry?" If this incident really happens, my mother and I will be ruined! Didn't you approve of this when I came up with it? He also said that I should let go and do it, and you would help me solve things like the need for outside manpower. How did it come to be found out so quickly now? ”

"If it weren't for the second miss, you were anxious and made the plan ahead before we were ready, how could there be such a mistake? I told you to wait a little longer. "This second lady is smart and ruthless enough, but she lacks some experience and experience, and she can't hold her breath. The man said that it was good to let her learn a long lesson, lest it be too smooth and ruin a good seedling, Hongyu thought faintly in her heart.

Erniang was a little speechless when she heard this, she was indeed anxious at the beginning, but now she can only ask Hongyu for help: "I admit that it was my fault last time, but what should I do now?" ”

Hongyu thought for a while: "Last night, we burned the house near the mother-in-law's son-in-law just to force her to show up, and we didn't want anyone to have an accident before they came out." (To be continued)
