Mama Chang waited for Sun's lights to go out and rest before coming out of Sun's room. When she walked to the backyard, Mama Chang glanced in the direction of the utility room.

"Mama." A small figure flashed out of the shadows, but the voice was very crisp.

Mama Chang was not surprised, only nodded and asked, "How is she?" ”

Sister Licorice found two mothers-in-law to watch the door, and after being locked in, there was a commotion for a while, and then it slowly fell silent, thinking that she was tired of tossing. During this period, because she didn't get the old lady's orders, she didn't let her drink and eat. This also has a child's crisp voice, which is clearly the third-class little girl agarwood in Sun's courtyard.

Mama Chang sighed when she heard this, but she didn't ask again, and then said softly: "That bowl of porridge can be disposed of?" ”

Hearing this, Agarwood first looked around vigilantly, and then lowered her voice and replied: "Mama, please rest assured, the slave and maid thought about the danger of being discovered wherever they fell, and finally came up with a very safe place, ensuring that even if the gods came, they would not be able to find out." At the end, there was a faint smugness in Agarwood's voice.

"Oh? How did you deal with it? ”

"Hehe, the slave has fallen into the slave's belly. At this time, even if the slave's stomach is cut open, the bowl of porridge is not the original bowl. ”

“……”

Seeing that Mama Chang didn't speak, Agarwood said again: "The bowl of porridge that was replaced was secretly boiled by the slave maid with a small wind stove according to Mama's instructions. ”

"You've done a great job, and it's thanks to you that you've done it this time." Mama Chang cleaned up her crying and laughing mood and said to Agarwood.

Agarwood heard the words but said seriously: "Since the maid's father and mother passed away one after another, the maid has relied on the kindness of the maid from time to time to get to where she is today." This time I was able to serve in the old lady's room, and it was also the grandmother who asked the maid to help hold the dressing box that showed her face in front of the old lady and won the old lady's eyes. Although the maid is now a 'wild girl without a father's upbringing', but the maid's father also served in the study of the third master when he was alive, and he knew the words and read books. Mama, you are kind to your servant, and Mama Li ......" Agarwood paused and said, "The servant is nothing more than a grudge to repay the grudge." ”

When Mama Chang heard this, she bent over and touched Agarwood's left ear with some pity: "Have you been dizzy and tinnitus recently?" ”

Agarwood smiled and said, "It's much better, Sister Bai Ying's medicine is very effective." Although it is still a little difficult to hear from too far away, the maid is learning to recognize the shape of the mouth. Maybe in the future, the maid will be able to 'see' people talking from afar. Mama, do you think this is a blessing in disguise? ”

Mama Chang was amused by the optimism of agarwood.

"That's not it, Mama said a long time ago that you are a blessed little girl."

Agarwood was also happy when he heard this, thought about it and asked, "But what do you need the slave to do?" ”

……

Mama Li, who was locked up in the utility room in the backyard, was undoubtedly uncomfortable at this time.

She has followed the Sun family since she was 10 years old, and the Sun family was the favored daughter of the lady when she was in her mother's house, although she suffered some losses from the Mrs. Lu after she got married, but there was never a shortage of food and clothing. As the eldest maid who has to be used by Sun's side and the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper later, the housekeeper and grandmother, she has also been pampered and pampered for decades, and has never suffered any grievances. Not to mention that in recent years, in the backyard of the Wang family, it has almost turned into clouds and rain, and even the masters have to pay tribute to her.

She had been here before with the utility room, and she had come when she had been locked up with those disobedient mothers-in-law and girls, and she was just standing at the door with her nose covered with a handkerchief, and at that time she still felt that this place was used to lock up people or those maids and mothers-in-law or she was merciful.

It's just that at this moment, she regrets how she chose such a place to lock people up, this place is simply not for people to stay.

This small room is cold and damp all year round, although it is a utility room, it is similar to a firewood room, and valuable things will not be put here, and the smell of mold is full of rot in the nose.

In addition, the sun had sunk in the west at this time, and the surroundings were filled with a cold atmosphere.

There was another throbbing pain on the bridge of her nose, and Mama Li groaned "ouch", her nose was already swollen badly at this time, but she didn't dare to touch it with her hand. Then. I don't know what kind of living creature passed by her feet, and then there was a sound of "Xi Xi Suo" in the corner. Mama Li tried her best to suppress the screams that were about to exit, but she couldn't help the hairs on her body stand on end.

At this time, there was a faint voice of speech outside.

"Are you on the orders of the old lady or the sister in the old lady's room?" A mother-in-law said.

"No, the slave maid thought that Mama Li hadn't eaten yet, so she went to the kitchen and asked for two steamed buns and water to bring her in." A little girl said crisply.

"The little girl is kind-hearted, but we don't have to be ordered by the top to let you in." The woman said.

"You better save your worries, look at the old lady's attitude today, this one in it can't jump up anymore. Come here to pity her, it's better to stutter that Chang Mama, and look at the reuse of that one now. Another mother-in-law said.

"No, it's really a turn in feng shui. The one in it has suppressed that one a lot over the years, and now ......" The woman didn't say any more, but everyone understood the meaning.

"However, Mama Li is still the nurse of the eldest master, they all said that Mama Li was locked up today because the eldest master was not in the house, if the eldest master was there, he would definitely not sit idly by, and would definitely go to plead with the old lady. I also heard that when the old man was young, he had a pox, and it was Mama Li who was not afraid of being infected, so she served on the side without undressing, until the old man recovered, and finally the old man was cured, but Mama Li lay in bed for a whole month due to fatigue, so the old man respected this nurse very much. In our house, we have always paid attention to filial piety, and the eldest lord is a great filial son praised by everyone, how can he sit back and watch the nurse being locked up and ignore it? The old lady is the most important master, so isn't it hard to say what will happen in the future? ”

The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other when they heard this, and felt that what the little girl said was not unreasonable.

"Besides, Mama Li also has a son, who has been working on an errand in front of the eldest master, and I heard that she is very trusted by the eldest master. Even if Mama Li can't be an errand in front of the old lady in the future, Mama Li's son is still being reused by the old man's side. ”

"Yo, the little girl is young, and she knows a lot." A mother-in-law said.

When the girl heard this, she smiled embarrassedly: "I just secretly heard from the grandmothers in the yard." ”

When the two mothers-in-law heard this, they suddenly realized: "I'll just say, how can you know this little girl." ”

The girl seemed to be despised and very angry, so she immediately stomped her feet and put down the water and steamed buns in her hand: "If you don't believe what I said, forget it, I put down the things, and you don't like to take them." With that, he ran away.

The two mothers-in-law guarding the door looked at each other again, and one hesitated: "What she said is not unreasonable." ”

Mama Li, who was locked up, heard all the conversations outside, but hope rose in her heart: That's right, she is the nurse of the eldest master, and she was still a meritorious servant back then, so the Wang family can't do anything to her. The eldest master just hasn't returned home yet, if he knows, if he knows...... And her son, too, can help.

Thinking of this, Mama Li touched a pair of gold bracelets on her hand, and made up her mind: you can't just sit still!
