Hearing this, mother-in-law and maids, you look at me, I look at you.

Finally, a mother-in-law spoke: "At the beginning, the county lord and Miss Yao took Miss Ye to drink tea and talk in the side hall outside. Miss Ye seems to like reading very much, and said that her brother's book collection is very rich. The county lord said, our palace also has a lot of books. Miss Ye was interested, so she said she wanted to take a look. The county lord said that the county prince's study was located in the outer courtyard, and it was inconvenient to take Miss Ye to see it. ”

Sanniang sat on the side and listened, without interrupting soundly.

And then ...... Then Miss Yao saw that Miss Ye seemed to be a little disappointed, so she said that in fact, there was also a study in the inner courtyard, and although the collection of books in it was not as good as the one in the outer courtyard, it was also rich. ”

Sanniang frowned when she heard this.

The study in the inner courtyard that Yao Yuerong said was the one near her courtyard, which was used to house Xuan Shao and her collection of books. A few days ago, Yao Yuerong said that she wanted to borrow a few books to read and pass the time. Because the study is also a place to put books, Xuan Shao will not work there, so there is nothing confidential about it, so the third will ask Yao Yuerong to pick whatever he wants.

When Miss Ye heard this, she said that she wanted to go and see it. The county lord and Miss Yao took Miss Ye to the library next to your yard, young lady. Sure enough, the woman said.

Sanniang nodded and motioned for her mother-in-law to continue. The mother-in-law was embarrassed: "Young lady, slaves and maids are not allowed to enter the study, and only a few big maids and Mama Shen are the ones who follow up and serve." ”

The rules in the house are very strict, and the ranks of the servants are also very detailed. For example, some slaves can enter the second gate, and some cannot. The slaves who were able to enter the second gate were divided into those who could enter their master's court and those who could not enter their master's court. Those who entered the courtyard were divided into those who could enter the main house and those who could not. Finally, those who can enter the main room are divided into those who can enter the bedroom and those who cannot enter the bedroom.

It is these cumbersome rules that distinguish the hierarchy of slaves. The mother-in-law who spoke was a second-class grandmother sent by Sanniang to Yao Yuerong's courtyard. According to the rules, she is not qualified to enter a place like the study.

Sanniang nodded and told her to step down. and called out the two big maids who were following the county lord of Huilan today for questioning.

Seeing that she was asked, the maid said: "After the county lord and the two young ladies entered the study, Miss Ye was originally very happy. I saw that there were a few books wrapped in silk cloth on the bookcase in the middle of the study. Miss Ye asked. Miss Yao said, maybe it was the young lady, you took it out to see it and asked someone to send it back. ”

There is nothing wrong with this, the last time she took Yao Yuerong to the study, there were two books on the bookcase that she had finished reading and had not yet returned.

Because there were too many books in the study, the little maid who originally organized the study was arranged to go to the outer courtyard after Sanniang entered the door. Last time, when Sanniang arranged for Xuan Shao to "serve", because the purple kite, who knew words, was unwilling to go to the study, but was willing to go to the kitchen. Sanniang arranged for another good-looking girl to go to the study, but she didn't want the girl to be illiterate.

Once. Xuan Shao wanted to find a book, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find it, only to find that although the study was very tidy and the books were placed neatly, the order of the books was disorganized.

On the second day, Sanniang took Bai Ying and Bai Lan to tidy up the study in person. I'm afraid that the illiterate maid will mess up the book again. After explaining, after reading the books sent back, they were put on the bookcase first, and Bai Ying came over every two days to sort out the books, and let the maid in charge of the study just clean them.

In this era, not everyone is literate, so how easy is it to find a maid who can know a lot of words? Only in a family with profound cultural skills like the Wang family, a servant like Bai Ying, will have conditions for the future. And put in the hard work to learn. Even in a place like the palace, even if it is very noble, if you talk about the cultural foundation of the domestic servants, except for the special circumstances of the birth of the criminal official's family like the purple kite, the rest are not enough.

Therefore, it is already very good for the average maid to recognize a few simple words and write her own name. There are a variety of books in the study. An errand like tidying up your study is not something that everyone can do.

Sanniang heard another maid answer: "Miss Ye saw that the burden was tightly wrapped, and the material of the burden was also very exquisite, so she was a little curious about what kind of book it was." There are many precious and unique books in our house, presumably the young lady, you are afraid that the book will be damaged, so let people pack it well. Miss Ye was very happy when she heard that it was Loneben, and asked the county lord if she could open it to take a look, and the county lord said that it was naturally possible. So Miss Ye went over to unpack the burden. After ......"

The maid frowned and paused.

Is it in that baggage? Sanniang frowned, looked at the maid, and motioned for her to continue.

"There are indeed a few books in the baggage, and Miss Ye is very happy to see the books inside. also picked it up and turned his head to say to the county lord and Miss Yao, those are indeed lonely, and she had heard her brother mention it when she was at home before. But suddenly, Miss Ye's face froze, and her face instantly turned red. She panicked and hid the book in her hand under the baggage. The county lord and Miss Yao were very curious, so they walked over to see. I didn't want Miss Ye to hold down the burden and not let the county lord and Miss Yao see it. The county lord and Miss Yao thought that Miss Ye was playing with them, so they said they wouldn't read it, but as soon as Miss Ye walked away, the county lord took out the book that Miss Ye had hidden under the baggage. The county lord Ke and Miss Yao also looked a little strange when they opened the book, and Miss Ye suddenly cried at this time. Mama Shen was close, and when she saw this, she took the book from the county lord's hand and put it in her sleeve. also said that it was not too early, so let the county lord and Miss Yao accompany Miss Ye to the old princess. ”

When Sanniang heard this, she felt that she had some bad premonitions, what did Miss Ye and the others see such a big reaction? Sanniang groaned secretly. She had seen everything in the study, and it was impossible for something not to appear.

The maid said, "The slaves and maids are illiterate, and although they followed them into the study, they were standing near the door, so they do not know what is written on the book. ”

So the only people in the know are Miss Ye, the county lord and Yao Yuerong, and Mama Shen who received the book into her sleeve?

Sanniang knew that these maids were not lying, and they couldn't ask anything, so she let them out, and told them not to tell the unpleasant things about the three young ladies, otherwise they would not be spared.

After coming out of the hall, Sanniang went back to the old princess. The old princess and Mrs. Ye still talked happily with each other, and they didn't take this episode to heart at all.

Sanniang glanced at Miss Ye a few more times, and saw that she was sitting there in a trance, and she couldn't even react when the old princess asked her, and her face was still a little flushed. Although the county lord of Huilan and Yao Yuerong were not as obvious as Miss Ye's performance, they both lowered their heads, as if they had been wronged, and they didn't want to speak.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Sanniang asked the old princess that the kitchen was almost ready, so she wanted to set up a table first.

The old princess also saw that everyone's interest was not high, and she also wanted to end today's meeting earlier, rather than ask what had happened. So he nodded and asked Sanniang to tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Sanniang helped the old princess and accompanied Mrs. Ye to the flower hall for entertaining guests outside.

The meal was very rich, but everyone didn't move their chopsticks much because they had something in mind, so it ended quickly.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Ye sat for a while and drank tea and chatted with the old princess for a while, and then offered to take Miss Ye back.

The old princess stayed for a while, then let go, and Mrs. Ye also invited Sanniang, the county lord and Yao Yuerong to go to Ye's house to play. The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

As soon as Mrs. Ye took Miss Ye into the car, she frowned, and said to her daughter a little angrily, "What's the matter with you today?" In front of the elders, you look at the face of the owner? How did your mother teach you on a daily basis? When it comes to the critical moment, how to get up is unconscious! With such pampering, how will you get along with people in the future? ”

I didn't want Miss Ye to listen to it, and the tears fell, and I couldn't stop it.

Mrs. Ye was shocked, her daughter's temperament was clear to herself, although she scolded harshly just now, Ke Shi also knew that this child was still very kind on weekdays, and she also knew that she was humble, and she had never blushed with her girlfriend on weekdays. Could it be that I have really suffered some great grievances today?

Mrs. Ye was about to say a few words of comfort and let her explain things clearly, but Miss Ye suddenly threw herself into her arms, crying breathlessly, but her head refused to be raised, and she only sobbed: "Mother, daughter...... The daughter has no face to live. ”

Mrs. Ye was startled, and looked at her daughter in her arms in shock, unable to speak.

The old princess who was helped back to her room by Sanniang, and as soon as the county lord of Huilan and Yao Yuerong came in, her face sank.

She glanced at Yao Yuerong, and finally fixed her eyes on her granddaughter, and said coldly: "Is your pampered temper coming again and offending the guests?" ”

The county lord of Huilan bit his lip when he heard this, still bowing his head and saying nothing, but his face was a little aggrieved.

Because she had a criminal record, the old princess decided that it was hers, and she opened her mouth to teach her another lesson, but Yao Yuerong stood up and said: "Princess, this matter is not about Cousin Huilan, she has not done anything wrong, please don't blame her." To blame...... If you want to blame it, blame Yue Rong. ”

The old princess was stunned when she heard this, thinking that Yao Yuerong deliberately excused Huilan and atonerated for her, so she waved her hand and said: "I know what kind of character she is, but I'm afraid that the country is easy to change and difficult to change." I also know what kind of character you are, how can you offend a guest for no reason. You don't have to excuse her, I'm teaching her now for her good. (To be continued)
