Aunt Cui was sent back to the backyard.

After Sanniang came out of Xue's room, she first went back to the West Chamber, thought about it, and instructed Bai Yingdao: "Later, you will go to Mama Zhuang with a silver ticket of fifty taels and explain that she will help me take care of Aunt Cui." "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa"

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Bai Ying commanded.

"Wait-" Sanniang stopped Bai Ying and muttered: "I still have something to explain to you, after you come out of Grandma Zhuang, you will go to Madame to find Agarwood and Mulian, I have something for them to do." ”

"Yes." Although Bai Ying had doubts in her eyes, she still bowed down and walked to Sanniang's side and waited for Sanniang's instructions.

Sanniang whispered a few words in her ear, Bai Yingchu did not hide her surprise when she heard it, and when she got to the back, she restrained her emotions again: "Yes, Miss, the slave maid remembers, and it will be passed on to Agarwood and Mulian word for word." ”

Sanniang nodded: "You go." ”

Bai Ying retreated.

Sanniang looked in the mirror and got a haircut.

With a two-pronged approach, she didn't believe that Aunt Cui could grow three heads and six arms.

***

Aunt Cui rubbed her sore neck and moved her arms and legs, but she still felt that there was no place on her body that belonged to her. She set up a day's rules at Mama Zhuang today, Sanniang and Wuniang were learning etiquette outside, and she stood in the center of the inner room with three books on her head, and Mama Zhuang said that this was to let her practice calm.

This practice is a morning.

In the afternoon, Sanniang and Wuniang learned the piano, she originally thought that she had been standing all morning, and Mama Zhuang should not let her stand, she didn't want to ...... Mama Zhuang didn't let her stand, but let her hold a tea bowl in each hand and sit on the small table. Said it was for her to practice her manners.

Thinking of coming over tomorrow, Aunt Cui was very upset.

At this time, it was already past dinner time, and Aunt Cui didn't eat a few bites of food at noon because she was too tired, and she was already hungry at this time. I was about to go back to my room and send the girl in the house to look in the kitchen in front of me, but suddenly I heard a conversation in the open window of a room next to me.

Aunt Cui thought about it, but quietly moved to the window. Because the room she remembered lived in the two big maids beside the Xue family, Agarwood and Mulian.

"No...... Even if you beg me a hundred more times, I still have two words - no! A girl said angrily.

"Sister Agarwood. I beg you. This time I'm only borrowing money. After a few days, I will pay you back when the monthly statement is issued, and I will never be in arrears. A soft whisper begged.

"Hmph, I've heard this three times, but did you pay back the five taels of silver you owed me before? I took such good care of you because I was serving with me in the old lady's yard before you, and I don't want you to use my kindness as a cash cow. ”

"Sister Agarwood, I beg you. I really only borrowed this once! This month...... No...... Next month. I will give you back all the money. Sister Agarwood, you know, my cousin came to the capital. I haven't been able to find an errand, and he only has one relative like me in Beijing! I can't help him. ”

Agarwood lowered her voice and said, "How many times have I told you. That cousin of yours is not a good man, so I want you to stay away from him! He has sound limbs, and if he can find a serious job to do, who can be worse than him? is young, but he wants to get something for nothing, and he messes around in the casino all day long! What kind of place is the casino? Hundreds of truckloads of silver were brought in, and in the end they could only come out shirtless! The mountains of gold and silver are not enough for him to squander. Although you are now the eldest maid next to your lady, holding a monthly example of one or two silver, you are only a slave after all! Listen to my advice, and quickly break off contact with that man, and don't see him again. Besides, you are a maid in the inner courtyard, sneaking out to meet men privately, if the masters know about it, they will definitely drive you out. ”

"Sister Agarwood, I swear, this is the last time. My cousin said that there is a way for him to buy piles this time, and he will win and not lose. When he won this time, he stopped gambling and honestly went to an old carpenter in the south of the city to learn the trade, and then ...... Then when I let it out, we opened a carpenter's shop and sold some small furniture. The voice said with a bit of shyness.

Agarwood snorted coldly: "That's just you fool!" Besides, you are an errand boy by your wife's side, and your wife treats you well, you don't want to think about how to serve your master well, but you want to let him out. Do you think the Wang family comes in when you want to come in, and goes out when you want to? Dream your big dreams! ”

"You, Sister Agarwood, how can you talk like that. You don't have any relatives now, what do you want so much silver for? It's better to lend it to me, it's not like I won't pay you back, why are you so stingy! Mu Lian was also a little impatient.

Agarwood sneered: "I'm just stingy, what's wrong?" Even if my silver is moldy, I won't lend you a penny again, you die of this heart! I warn you, in the future, you had better be an errand by your wife's side, otherwise if something goes wrong and I am also implicated, I will not help you hide it. ”

As he spoke, Agarwood turned around and came to the door.

Aunt Cui jumped and hurriedly hid by the pillar on the side. Fortunately, after Agarwood pushed the door open, probably because he was angry, he didn't pay attention to the surrounding movements at all, and went straight to the middle courtyard.

Aunt Cui breathed a sigh of relief and leaned towards the window again, just in time to hear Mu Lian say resentfully: "...... You will be greeted all day long, not only the lady likes you, but even the third lady is polite to you. But you only care about your own good, have you ever thought about it, but have you ever said good things to me in front of your master? Even if I stay in the mansion, I won't have such a good future as you, so I naturally want to leave the mansion. What's more, how much more my cousin him...... He said he would wait for me. If you don't save you this time, I will remember it, and I will never forgive you for the rest of my life! ”

Aunt Cui listened to the resentful voice of the maid inside, but she smiled. No matter who is around him, it will not be like an iron bucket. This was the case for the Liu family back then, and so was the Xue family.

Aunt Cui felt that her neck and arms didn't hurt anymore at this time, so she straightened her sideburns, and continued to leave with her lotus steps, and went back to her house.

When she arrived at her room, Yuzhu had already prepared dinner for Aunt Cui, although it was a little cold, but Aunt Cui was indeed a little hungry, and she didn't care about that, so she finished eating in a hurry.

After rinsing her mouth, Aunt Cui held the tea bowl and said, "Yuzhu, tomorrow you help me keep an eye on the maid named Mulian in Madame's room, see if she has any contact with anyone outside, and come back to report to me." ”

Yuzhu complied.

Aunt Cui picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, although her hand holding the bowl trembled a little unconsciously, but it did not affect her mood. Although the thing she just saw was an opportunity, she would not do it easily, and she always had to be sure to place a bet, Aunt Cui smiled softly.

At noon on the second day, when Aunt Cui returned to her room after setting up a morning of rules at Mama Zhuang, Yuzhu had already been waiting for her for a long time.

"Madam, Mulian secretly went out of the second door early this morning, and the slave maid found an excuse to follow out, and saw that she went out of the house to meet a young man about twenty years old, and finally she gave a purse to the man, but the man seemed to be a little unhappy that the money in it was too little. After that, Mulian came back dejected. ”

Aunt Cui smiled when she heard this: "Sure enough, that's the case." He turned to Yuzhu and said, "You did a good job this time." You are also old, and in a few days I will go to my wife and ask for a grace to ask her to find you a suitable marriage. ”

Yuzhu bowed her head a little shyly: "The slave is willing to serve my aunt all the time." ”

Aunt Cui smiled and shook her head: "Silly girl, where is there a girl who doesn't marry?" Don't worry, you have been with me for so long, and you have done your best, I will ask for you in front of my wife, and I will subsidize your dowry more. ”

Yuzhu blushed and kowtowed to Aunt Cui to thank her.

Aunt Cui pulled her up, but her eyes were staring at a certain point in the void, and she murmured: "I hope my Wu Niang can also have a good home, so that I will have nothing to ask for in this life." ”

Yuzhu quietly picked up the dishes on the table into a red-lacquered food box, and replied with a smile: "The fifth lady looks like a fairy daughter, and she is well-behaved, sensible, and smart. Auntie, don't worry, Miss Fifth will definitely be able to make a good family. ”

Aunt Cui smiled: "I hope so." It's just that my stupid Yue'er is too simple-minded. Even the third lady, who is usually so wooden, can often show her face in front of her wife and talk to her wife. Now Mrs. is very favored by Miss Three, and Mrs. will definitely take good care of her marriage in the future. This time, the Shen family, although it is a continuation of the string, is the maiden family of the Empress Ke. I don't want the old lady and lady on the side of the Wen family to feel that they have wronged the third lady. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Cui shook her head, a little disapproving, in her heart, it is good to be able to get benefits, so good people, even if it is a continuation of the string? However, this kind of good thing, why can't it be her turn to be Wuniang?

Thinking of this, Aunt Cui secretly exhaled.

"You go and take out my monthly plan from last month, wrap it in lotus, and send it to the maid named Mulian."

Yuzhu was a little surprised when she heard this, but she knew that Aunt Cui had always disliked explaining what she was doing, so she didn't ask much, but just bowed down as always, hurriedly put down the food box in her hand, and went to get the silver.

money, she still has some money, most of which she saved when the Zhao family was there, and there are also the rewards given to her by the lord four years ago, as well as the monthly silver she has accumulated over the years. (To be continued)
