Maybe it's because you know what's at stake. As soon as Lu Yougui received the letter, he found a reason to rush back to the capital the next day. After Chunying received the letter from the second door, she hurriedly asked the second old lady for leave and rushed to the second uncle's house.

Lu Yougui saw his daughter and asked a little excitedly: "What you said in the letter is true?!" Can you really let Xiaohu get out of the house?! ”

Chunying nodded hurriedly: "This is what the big girl next to my wife told me in private, I have recently made a few small contributions, and my wife has the heart to reward me, and I think that the reward will cause people to gossip, so I plan to reward my family." The girl promised to help me talk about the item, and asked me to come back and discuss it with you and my mother. I pondered, my credit is not big, it is not small, if the lion opens his mouth, my wife may not be happy, so I don't plan to ask for myself, but hesitate, I don't know whether to ask for the three of you together, or get Xiaohu out first? ”

"Little Tiger, of course!" Lu Yougui immediately made a decision, "Your mother and I both have errands now, and we are not old, so let us both go." It's too much trouble for my wife to find someone else to take our place, so we might as well get your brother out first. After all, he is young, and he has not yet entered the mansion as an errand, it is very easy for Mrs. to let him go, not to mention that according to your statement, your credit is not so great, if Mrs. agrees to release your family because of your request, everyone in the house will do this in the future, won't the rules be messed up? ”

Chunying also thought so: "Dad is right, no matter how eager we are, we can't force it overnight, we have to think more about the future." "Otherwise, if you offend the master's family, even if you leave, there will be trouble. Think back then, didn't Nandeng Hongyu and his wife often be harassed by the gangsters instructed by the second young master, and as a result, they were almost unable to make a living? Now that Dongfu is becoming more and more powerful, the little people dare not provoke it, so she has to let the second old lady and the second wife both willingly and even happily let their family go.

After discussing with her father, Chunying went to see her second uncle and aunt again. The lime is about to give birth, and Second Uncle Lu always feels flustered, and he is not even in the mood to take care of the affairs of his brother's family. Lu Yougui didn't take it to heart, and specially told Chunying that if something happened these days, he would not trouble the second uncle. Don't bother him. Chunying hurriedly agreed, and comforted the second uncle and his wife a few words, and later saw that there was a mother-in-law and a little girl in their small courtyard to take care of the pregnant woman and help with the work, so she left with confidence.

Chunying made up her mind, and she felt relieved and in a much better mood. When she returned to Songyi Temple, she reported to the second old lady, so she went to look for Bailing, and found someone in the room where the medicinal herbs were stored.

Bai Ling was looking at the booklet to check the medicinal materials, Chun Ying saw her at the door in a daze at the ginseng box, her heart couldn't help but sink, coughed lightly, and woke Bai Ling up, the latter quickly covered the ginseng box, put away the booklet, and turned around and squeezed out a reluctant smile: "Sister is back?" What's the matter with me? ”

Chunying looked outside the door and saw that no one was passing by, so she closed the door with her backhand, walked to Bailing's side, and pulled her to sit down on the chair next to her. He said softly: "Yesterday I heard that you were trying to find a way to raise money, but what is the urgency?" Why don't you tell us? ”

Bai Ling was taken aback, he didn't expect that his affairs would be known by Chunying, and secretly thought that he had just opened his mouth to the three or two girls who had always been good yesterday, but he didn't expect someone to leak it out, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and lowered his head and said: "It's not a big deal to make my sister laugh, it's a ...... For I needed a sum of money in my house. ”

Chunying sighed: "Are you still hiding it from me? I know that your father is seriously ill and waiting to spend money on medicine to cure his illness, this is not something unseemly, why hide it? ”

Bai Ling's face turned pale suddenly, and his eyes flickered: "This kind of thing...... What's the use of saying it? Who hasn't had a sick person in their home? The shouting is known to everyone, but it makes people laugh at me for being frivolous......" suddenly looked up at Chunying very uneasily: "Sister, you ......" His gaze swept to the ginseng box that he was stunned for, and his face turned white suddenly.

Chun Ying hurriedly patted the back of her hand lightly and said, "Don't panic, I know who you are." He took out a money bag from his sleeve, plus a note, "Originally, I had some silver on hand, but it has been sent home, and these are the only things left, you take them first, and we will think about the rest." This note was written by my second uncle. The eldest young master of Xifu opened a new pharmacy near Longfu Temple, called Anhetang, and there are many good medicines for sale, but the good things are not put out. You take this one. It is my second uncle's handwriting, and the people in the pharmacy will show you the medicine when they see it, and the price will be more affordable. ”

Bai Ling took the money bag in a daze, opened it and saw that it was all broken silver, there were five or six taels, and then looked at the strip, and suddenly his eyes turned red: "Sister Chunying......"

"Needless to say." Chunying said softly, "They are all errands in the same courtyard, and if there is a difficulty, we sisters can help each other." I don't have much power, at most I know something, just tell me. Also, didn't you tell me last time that your sister was very idle in the sewing room? I think that your family must spend a lot of money for your father's illness, and it just so happens that the embroidery village where the young grandmother is married has always been accustomed to hiring good embroiderers to help with the work, if your sister has this meaning, I will take her there. My mother did this when I was a child, and I still know people. It's just that her family has very high requirements for embroidery, and if it's not good, they won't accept it, if it's good, they will double the money, and your sister has to know it. Don't be rough in your work. ”

Bai Ling hurriedly said: "Thank you sister for telling me, my sister embroiders very well, I will ...... it immediately" suddenly choked up, "I used to be bad...... Although I listened to my sister's orders on my face, I was actually a little unconvinced, presumably my sister was also conscious, and I didn't expect my sister to still treat me sincerely...... Even if I die, I will never forget my sister's kindness! ”

Chun Ying hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said, "Don't be busy thanking me first, I still have a word to tell you." ”

Bai Ling was busy holding a handkerchief in one hand. Raised his sleeve with one hand, wiped away his tears, and sat solemnly: "Sister, please command." ”

Chun Ying smiled and said, "Qiu Yan was sick a few days ago, and the purchase in this courtyard was handed over to you and your cousin. ”

Bai Ling stammered a little uneasily: "Sister means ......" Do you want a piece of the pie?" No, she's not such a person, or is she going to transfer it to her family to do it?

Chunying's words were greatly unexpected to her: "I know that there must be a lot of tricks in these errands, so I advise you to remind your relatives at home and don't interfere in it again." There are many ways to make money, don't get stuck in the quagmire, beware of calling the boss to find out in the end, you can't keep your old face for several lifetimes. ”

Bai Ling suddenly fidgeted: "Sister said so, but what do you know?" The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, "Could it be that my wife knows?!" ”

Chun Ying hurriedly pressed her: "Don't panic, it's not like this." It's just that I watch the fourth lady's housekeeper on weekdays, and everyone in the house doesn't seem to be convinced, and they are a lot lax in their work, and some people want to take advantage of the wife's absence, so they take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. It's just that Miss Fourth is not a vegetarian, and I guess it won't be long before she will find out that there is a problem with the accounts in the house, and then she will have a big audit. You are the person in front of the old lady, and you just use it as a target, in case the mistakes made by your relatives implicate you, even if the old lady likes you again, you can't raise your head in front of everyone. ”

Bai Ling nodded tearfully: "I know, thank you sister for reminding me, I'll go back and tell them right away, let them stop quickly...... Sister's great grace ......"

Chun Ying hurriedly raised her hand to stop her: "You don't have to keep thinking about my kindness, I'm not all for you, you are the big girl in this courtyard, I am in charge of it on weekdays, if something happens to you, I will also have no face." So I'm just afraid of gossip. ”

Bai Ling smiled: "No matter what my sister says, I know it in my heart." ”

So Bai Ling really sent a letter to his family and relatives, ordering them to stop greedy for the money in Mo Gongzhong, and beware of calling the upper authorities to find out. When her mother saw the money and had a place to buy medicine, she threw it away and ignored it; Her aunt was suspicious, reluctant to pay the money, but she was afraid that the master's family would really know, so she temporarily withdrew her hand and looked at the situation; Only her cousin remained unmoved. Bai Ling was worried that his family would be implicated, so he handed over all the things he bought to Qiu Yan, concentrated on his own work, and hurried to make some needles and threads to sell in his spare time.

Soon, it was really expected by Chunying, the fourth lady housekeeper was a little angry, and she made up her mind to give the housekeepers a horse, so that they knew how powerful they were, and after asking her grandmother and mother's opinions, her first thing was to publicly check the accounts, and if she found any mistakes or omissions, she immediately asked people to find the relevant person in charge, and in less than three days, she sent out more than a dozen family members, including many housekeepers with heads and faces. Everyone was scared at this time, and they didn't dare to perfunctory this little master.

Bailing's cousin and Qiu Yan's godmother were found out in this turmoil and lost their errands. Some people want to implicate Bailing and Qiu Yan, but Bai Ling has long stopped interfering in this kind of errand, and many people know about the rumors that Qiu Yan was trapped by the * Niang's family, so in the end, he just got away with a few lukewarm words from Miss Four. Afterwards, the fourth lady also came to the door privately to compensate them, and both of them smiled and brought the matter lightly.

After this incident, Chunying, Qiuyan and Bailing became closer, but Cuiling was much colder to them, but she had a better relationship with a few second-class girls. Chunying looked at it coldly, feeling that since she didn't mess around anymore, she would turn a blind eye, so she still treated everyone very kindly and kindly, so that people couldn't find their shortcomings. The bosses above saw it in their eyes and knew it.

One day, the second wife, Zhuo, ordered someone to call Chunying, and greeted the second old lady's living and eating hands as usual, Zhuo said: "When Miss Fan came over a few days ago, you also saw it. She's been running around our house lately. You've been waiting in Xifu for a few years, how many days has she been there? ”

Chunying hurriedly replied: "She came here last spring, and since she entered Beijing, she has been living in the Hou Mansion, and she has not lived outside for a night except for the days when she entered the palace draft." ”

Zhuo Shi frowned: "Her uncle is like this? They didn't mention moving out? No one in the Hou Mansion mentioned it? ”

"Master Fan San used to live outside, and it seems that a friend invited him to live there, but he really didn't say that he wanted to move. Originally, it was rumored that Mrs. Hou had mentioned whether to give them a house, but the old lady said to Hou Ye that they were all relatives of their own family, so they just lived in the house, and they also took care of each other when they had things, and it seemed that they were separated when they moved out. Chunying replied while secretly thinking in her heart, could it be that the Fan family annoyed the second wife?

Zhuo Shi was not annoyed, but shook his head secretly. Although the Fan family is a big family, they have no foundation in the capital, they sent their daughter to the capital for the draft, thinking that there is a plan, if their family lives in a house outside, others will only see the name of the local family, what is it in the capital? It's better to live in the Hou Mansion and borrow the momentum of the Marquis of Qingguo, so that people feel that they are relatives of the Hou Mansion, and they can look up to a few points. It's just that this Fan family has tried their best, not a safe one, and the Hou Mansion is being used like this because of the deceased Yuan Match, and he doesn't realize it, but he does his best to plan for others, which is really unwise.

Chun Ying looked at Zhuo's expression on the side, and stood cautiously beside her, not daring to say a word. Fang Cai Qingluan gave her a look, saying that she had already mentioned Xiaohu's matter in front of the second wife, and she couldn't make any mistakes now.

After a while, Zhuo Shi came to his senses, smiled at Chun Ying, and said, "I know about this matter, and you don't have to tell anyone about it." ”

Chunying bowed her head and saluted: "Yes, the slave doesn't know anything." ”

"You girl." Zhuo Shi smiled, "It's too careful. But it's hard to be careful. - I remember you had a little brother, didn't you? How old are you? Do you live with your old lady now? ”

Chunying said "here" in her heart, and hurriedly replied: "The slave's younger brother is six years old, and now he lives in Zhuangzi with the slave's father." originally wanted to send it to his sister's house and let him go to the school to read and write, but the master of the school thought that he was born as a slave and refused to accept him, so now he follows the slave father to recognize a few big characters. ”

Zhuo Shi was a little surprised: "Your father knows how to read?" Yes, he is in charge and has been a shopkeeper, so he naturally recognizes him. But it's rare for him to let your brother learn to read and write at such a young age. ”

Chun Ying said respectfully: "Although the slave's little brother is also a child, but because he is an only son, he is also a treasure at home, and the slave's father and mother simply treat him as a pet of heart and liver, and are full of hope that he will be able to make a career in the future, so he specially sent him to the school, but unfortunately Mr. did not accept it." I secretly apologized to Xiaohu's teacher in my heart.

"What's so hard about that?" Zhuo's had already listened to Qingluan's suggestion, and opened his mouth briskly, "You are a good girl, and your parents taught you well, so I will let them touch your light." called Manager Xu to come, and said what I said, let Chunying's little brother go out of the mansion, and Ming'er will go to the official mansion to go to the office, and he will have a chance in the future, so that he will be grateful to you for the rest of his life. ”

Chunying was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank Mrs. for her grace, he will have a future in the future, and it is his wife who should be grateful!" ”

Zhuo Shi smiled, he was still very happy in his heart, and asked Chun Ying a few more words, Chun Ying immediately said that she would serve the second old lady, the second lady and the fourth lady more dedicatedly, and carefully did not add the fourth young master, Zhuo Shi was more satisfied, and felt that she really had a vision, this girl was sensible.

Chunying flattered for a long time, exited the door, and curled the corners of her mouth happily.

One is solved, and the next thing is .........
