Dragon Boat Festival begged in a panicked voice: "No! The slave maid simply thinks that the second lady treats her subordinates kindly, and she will not beat or scold like the third lady. ”

"Just because I'm kind, you have the intention of being a thief?" An Sheng immediately retorted.

The Dragon Boat Festival was so ashamed that his face was red, and he couldn't wait to get into the cracks in the ground.

"Miss, let's not hide it, the slave is indeed desperate. My father broke his leg more than a month ago and will be kept at home, and the family suddenly has no source of income. At that time, I knelt down and begged Miss San, begging her to advance a little salary to treat my father's injured leg. However, the second lady refused in one bite.

Later, I cheekily went to kneel and beg my wife, but she also refused to help, but handed me a deed of sale. The slave maid originally wanted to be married after a few years, and did not want to sell herself. But in the end, he was really helpless, so he signed a deed of sale with the government. However, my father also lost the best time to heal and was afraid that he would be paralyzed in bed forever.

The slave maid's family is poor, the family is surrounded by walls, and selling herself is just drinking to quench her thirst, and she is rich for a while, but now she is stretched thin, and there is no monthly money to help, and she is about to be unable to open the pot. As the eldest sister, the slave and maid were helpless, so they had such a bastard mind, if it weren't for this, the slave and maid would not do such a dirty deed even if they died. ”

An Sheng smiled coldly: "There must be one and there are two, do you think I will believe your defense?" Thinking that you are already a habitual offender, you will become more and more bold. It's just a pity that your young lady and I are poor, poor and white, and I have wronged you. ”

The Dragon Boat Festival buried his face deep in his chest, embarrassed, and defended in a gnats: "No...... No, miss, the slave is really just the first time. Please, give the slave another chance to mend her ways. You can beat me and scold me, please don't spread it, otherwise the slave's life will be ruined. ”

An Sheng was silent, struggling a little in his heart, not daring to easily believe the person sent by Xia Ziwu.

Dragon Boat raised his face, and he was already so remorseful that he burst into tears: "Second Miss, the slave swears that she will serve you sincerely and sincerely in the future, and she will never have two hearts." The slave doesn't want to harm you and make your situation worse, otherwise the slave and maid can go to the third lady to report and curry favor with her to receive the reward, I don't want to do those hurtful things with my conscience and be punished. Please, Miss! ”

An Sheng was silent for a while, feeling that what the Dragon Boat Festival said was indeed true. She tinkered with these herbs behind closed doors every day, if she had a heart, she would definitely have noticed it and reported it to Xia Ziwu. Since Xia Ziwu didn't know anything, it could be seen that her tone was still tight.

Now, since she has her handle in her hand, she can use it to blackmail her, and she will have to weigh one or two things in the future, which is much better than changing to a tricky maid.

She sighed lightly and waved her hand at the Dragon Boat Festival: "I will hide this matter from you for the time being, and I will not make a noise." But that doesn't mean I'm going to condone you to do that. I don't need to tell you the truth, you are an honest girl, you know your duty to be a man, and you must not be confused again in the future.

You know, my situation is not much better than yours, if you want to live a good life in the future, you still need the two of us to help each other, only Miss and I are good, you can follow each other, do you say this is the truth? ”

Dragon Boat Festival nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, the slave and the maid can save it, and the slave and the maid will definitely not do anything to sell the lord for glory again." ”

An Sheng smiled slightly: "Then do you know now, who is your master?" ”

"Yes!" The Dragon Boat Festival nodded busily: "There is only one master of the second lady in the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

An Sheng stood up: "Get up quickly, don't kneel, crying bitterly, as if I gave you a lot of grievances." ”

Dragon Boat Festival sobbed and got up, lowered his head, and still thanked him again and again.

An Sheng walked to the suitcase, opened the lid of the suitcase, rummaged through it for a long time, and took out a few pairs of embroidery.

"My monthly share has been deducted, and I am also penniless, so I can't help you. There are only a few embroideries embroidered by my sister here, but they are worth some effort. You take it to my uncle's silk and satin estate, and let him help you exchange it for cash, so as to solve your urgent needs. ”

The Dragon Boat Festival couldn't help but be stunned, and stumbled and said, "Miss, this ...... This ......"

An Sheng had already stuffed it into her arms without saying anything, and still didn't forget to advise: "It's best to hand it over to my uncle, if it falls into the hands of my aunt, we still have to peel off a layer of skin, and we will suffer." ”

The tears that the Dragon Boat Festival could not hold back crackled again, and he choked up: "I ......"

An Sheng waved his hand impatiently: "Quickly wipe your nose and go out, I'm going to rest." ”

Dragon Boat wiped his tears, sobbed and went out, and carefully helped An Sheng cover the door.

Since then, she has served Ansheng more and more carefully. An Sheng believes that even if she is not very loyal to herself, at least, if Xia Ziwu wants to use her to plot against herself, she will weigh one or two because of the handle in her hand.

Moreover, because of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ansheng's news is also much better-informed. In their spare time, the two will also chat a few words, and the Dragon Boat Festival will tell her about trivial things at home, as well as the shortcomings of the parents in the house.

Dragon Boat Festival told An Sheng anxiously: "The third lady sent Changjing to call me over. ”

An Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, still concentrating on reading, and asked absentmindedly: "What did you ask to do in the past?" ”

"Ask me, what are you doing these days?"

"Oh? So what do you say? ”

Dragon Boat Festival lowered his head and said honestly: "The slave said, you have been embroidering or reading books." ”

An Sheng glanced at the half-embroidered embroidery on the embroidery frame, and then looked down at the book in his hand, but said "um" indifferently.

"The third lady also asked, what book are you reading, the slave maid said that she can't read, she doesn't know."

An Sheng sat up, tilted his head and thought about it, the Dragon Boat Festival is reminding himself that he should pay attention to it in the future.

The Dragon Boat Festival still didn't leave, and he whispered again: "Cousin Xue is back." ”

An Sheng was stunned for a moment, and his heart instantly became a little crooked.

This cousin of the Xue family is none other than Xue Zhao's son, named Xue Xiuliang.

Xue Zhao was one or two years old, but he was enlightened early, and he harmed the daughter of a poor family with clever words, kowtowed and confessed, and showed diligence, married someone's daughter, and gave birth to a son Xue Xiuliang. Therefore, this cousin of the Xue family is older than Xia Ziwu.

It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make holes, this sentence is not mixed with water at all for the idle Xue Zhao.

The Xue family gave birth to two girls and a boy for Xia Yuan, which can be described as hard work, but she was not treated at all in the Xia family, and was belittled and looked down upon by others, just because of her family background. Xue has a Lao Tzu who specializes in cheating, and after being beaten for a long time a few years ago, Xue Zhao inherited his father's incense and continued to wander around the capital, doing what he did during his lifetime.

If it is said that it is a gentleman with a background, it is okay, and if someone is blessed, he can also do evil unscrupulously. It's a pity that Xue Zhao has no one to support him, and under the banner of the Xia family, he can only rely on his own little cleverness, and after pit the east family and the west family, he will hold back a bad stomach.

His son Xue Xiuliang gave such an innocent and orthodox name, but he was better than the blue, and he was not inferior to Lao Tzu. Since he was a child, he didn't learn anything, but he learned his father's skills out of ten. The two of them worked together to make the mother-in-law deceived by Xue Zhao so angry that they jumped the moat.

The Xue family wanted to correct their name and raise their heads in the Xia family, so they also intervened in the discipline of Xue Xiuliang. It's easy to say, let Master Xia have a shy old face, look for someone to ask for wine and gifts, and find a good errand for Xue Xiuliang, serving as a tax collector in Xia County, and being in charge of paying taxes in the county, which is also a fat errand.

It's a pity that the Xue family thinks things too simply, for this kind of unsuccessful loser, it's okay to be restrained under his hands, but now he is flying out like a kite, and the rope can't be held in his hand, where can he be disciplined?
