After returning to the residence, Xu Qingqing was also tired and immediately lay down on the bed to rest.

"Miss, are you tired? Lie down for a while, and the slave will pour you some water. Xiao Wan said with concern.

"I'll come, Sister Xiaowan." Qing'er hurriedly went up to pour water, since she started with Miss, she almost didn't do anything, and she felt unsteady in her heart.

Xu Qingqing looked at Qing'er's sensible appearance, and couldn't help but start to sigh again, saying that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and this Qing'er is a typical example!

After drinking the water, Xu Qingqing also told the two of them to go back to their rooms to rest, after all, after walking for so long, everyone was tired.

Still the same person in her sleep, Xu Yue'er looked at Xu Qingqing as if she had never been in the city.

I saw her left hand on her waist, and her right hand pointed at Xu Qingqing: "Hey, I said you, why haven't you seen the world so much?" Our Xu Mansion will surprise you dumbfounded, looking at your worthless appearance today, it is simply a beggar on the street who suddenly has 10,000 taels of silver, no, it is what it will look like after 100,000 taels of silver! ”

At first, he was angry, but he laughed as he spoke.

Xu Qingqing was speechless, "Eldest sister, you won't laugh like this!" Do you know that in my time, a city like yours was close to the imperial capital, and every inch of land was at a premium! Don't talk about the entire Xu Mansion, you just own this Yaqing Garden, and they are all rich people. ”

"Like me, I can't even afford an ordinary set, which is only one room, a toilet, a kitchen, and then the living room is very small, and the living room is your lobby bar, where guests come to the house to sit and drink tea and chat. And even if you can buy a house, you have to pay off the mortgage every month, become a house slave, and even have to repay it for more than ten years and twenty years......"

Xu Yue'er's words were a little irritating to Xu Qingqing, and she complained to herself on the side.

"So long? And what is a mortgage? Xu Yue'er didn't seem to understand it, but in the fog, she only felt that the people of Xu Qingqing's era were really hard, and the housing was so small......

"A mortgage is a house, for example, the total price is one hundred taels of silver, but you don't have that much money, right, then you can only pay a down payment of thirty taels of silver, and the rest of the seventy taels of silver plus interest will be repaid four or five hundred copper coins every month until it is paid off."

Xu Qingqing was a little admired, and he really explained it......

Xu Yue'er felt bored when she heard it: "Is it so troublesome to buy a house?" The average person's house is only twenty taels of silver, at most about thirty taels of silver, and one hundred taels of silver can almost buy our entire Xu Mansion. ”

"Silver is only used in our rich and noble families, or high-end places, ordinary people use copper coins, do you know that one or two silver is equal to 1,000 copper coins."

Seeing that Xu Yue'er couldn't understand the sorrow of struggling for a hundred years without eating or drinking as a modern person, and having to borrow another 500 years from the sky to buy a suite in Beijing and Shanghai, Xu Qingqing's heart was very complicated and sad.

But when she said this, she felt how extravagant it was for the eldest lady to give the doctor ten taels of silver for the consultation fee before! It seems that she loves Xu Yue'er's daughter very much, Xu Qingqing can't help but envy, what a good mother.

"Well, you are so lucky to be born in such a happy family, with your father and mother loving, your grandfather and brother loving and protecting, and the family is still very rich."

Seeing that Xu Qingqing's mood began to decline, Xu Yue'er also returned to a serious appearance and comforted: "Okay, aren't you me now?" Everything I have now is what you have! Honor them well. By the way, don't talk about that, didn't you ask for a maid? Named Qing'er. ”

"Yes, seeing that she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she does such heavy work in the firewood room, and she looks very sensible, I want to help her."

Xu Qingqing said, her eyes full of regret. If this ancient woman was not born in a rich family, she would be very pitiful, and she could only be a slave and be bought and sold.

Of course, women from rich and noble families are not necessarily very good, at least marriage is not free, and there is a feudal idea of three obedience and four virtues......

Xu Yue'er is not so warm-hearted, after all, they are essentially the same person, "So, you named her Qingzi and gave her the name Qing'er?" ”

"That's natural, besides, if one day I go back to modern times, you will be this Miss Xu family, and Qing'er's existence will also prove that I have been here!"

"If there really is that day, you must treat Qing'er and Maruko well, at least I don't want them to have a bad time, I must let her choose the person she likes freely, and buy a dowry for them. My abilities are limited, but I will try my best to help those around me. ”

Xu Qingqing may be powerless to change her situation in modern times, in ancient times, she wanted to help the people around her be happy when she had the ability.

"Don't worry, if you don't say it, I will do it, Xiaowan, I have always been ready to marry her to a good family, I will let her choose the person she likes, and marry well, beautifully." Xu Yueer patted her chest and promised.

In the early morning, there was a harsh noise outside the door, the loudest and the most disgusting was Xia.

Xu Qingqing was awakened by this voice, her brows furrowed, what was this shrew shouting at the door of my room early in the morning!

Looking around and not seeing the shadows of Xiao Maruko and Qing'er, Xu Qingqing got up and shouted, "Xiao Maruko, Qing'er?" ”

The door was suddenly slammed open, Xia Shi had a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, the villain walked in front of him, and Xia Tingting followed behind with a look of watching a play.

Behind the two of them was Qing'er, who was brought up and knelt on the ground crying, and Xiao Maruko, who was standing on the side in a hurry.

Xu Qingqing was angry when he saw these two people, and it was really annoying to see that this posture was here to stir up trouble.

"Second aunt, Sister Xia, what are you doing early in the morning?" After speaking, he looked at the two of them with a smile.

At this time, Xia Tingting deliberately cleared her throat and raised her voice, "What are you doing?" Look what your good maid does! What kind of does he dare to steal, what kind of master teaches what kind of!"

Xia Tingting's shrill voice made people frown, and Xu Qingqing couldn't suppress her anger when she heard it, "Speak well!" Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart! ”

After speaking, Xu Qingqing glared at Xia Tingting angrily, clenched her fists, and her joints "clicked".

Qing'er stopped crying in shock at the moment when Xu Qingqing was furious, and glanced at Xu Qingqing deeply, is Miss fighting for her?

How could she be so good to herself? If it was other young ladies, it was estimated that they would not care about the life or death of the slaves and maids, as long as they did the theft, they would not ask, they would be killed or beaten and driven out, or even sold to the Qinglou.

Xia Tingting was also really taken aback, she really couldn't beat Xu Yue'er in terms of fighting. When did this Xu Yue'er become so frizzy, but this is a good thing, Xu Yue'er, the more frizzy you are, the more worried you are about this, the more I can succeed.

While thinking about it, she stepped back behind the Xia family, as if she had been greatly wronged, waiting for the second lady to come forward for her.

Xu Qingqing saw it in her eyes, she really played a good deck of cards, I'm afraid that today's incident was made by her Xia Tingting, although Xia is not a good person, but with her temperament, it is estimated that she can only do brainless scolding things, which was used as a gun by Xia Tingting.

Xia obviously didn't know that she was being calculated by her niece, and she had always treated Xia Tingting like a daughter in her heart.

Seeing Xia Tingting retreating behind her, of course she wanted to vent her anger for Xia Tingting: "Xu Yue'er, why did you talk to your cousin?" Today's thing, I'm afraid that even if my father-in-law comes, he will also deal with this! ”

Xu Qingqing was disgusted when he saw Xia's appearance, "I just want to know, what did Qing'er steal?" Let you be so arrogant in front of me? ”

"Arrogant? Okay, today we'll see who's arrogant! Xia Tingting snorted coldly.

Xia hurriedly answered: "That's it, I don't know who is going to make a fool of myself, this cheap maid stole Tingting's jade bracelet, and we personally searched it out in her cabinet!" ”

"Do you know that it was a jade bracelet that my mother gave me and asked me to wear when I got married."

After Xia Tingting finished speaking, she held her right hand under the sleeve of her right hand, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her right hand, looking so pitiful.

Xu Qingqing was originally very angry, but when he saw this scene, he instantly felt that he had nothing to say......

It's exactly the same as in the TV series! It is obvious that the thief shouts to catch the thief, but if this really happens, the other party is entangled, and there is really nothing to do with her!

"Miss, allow the slave maid to say a little more, the slave maid thinks that Qing'er can't do this kind of thing, we are together almost all the time." Xiaowan helped Qing'er intercede.

"Shut up! You slaves and maids are getting more and more bold, when will it be your turn to meddle in the master's affairs! Xia said viciously.

Xu Qingqing smiled mockingly, "Second lady, why bother to be angry? I will definitely find out about this matter, you also take this jade bracelet, Qing'er will stay with me for the time being, and I will give you an explanation. ”

"Hmph, what can you explain? I see, I still have to tell my father-in-law about this matter, and let him call the shots. Saying that, Xia took a group of people to find Master Xu, and Xu Qingqing also took Xiaowan to follow.

When he arrived at Master Xu's residence, Xingchen Pavilion, the Xia family began to cry wolf: "Father-in-law, you have to be the master for Tingting, Yue'er's maid stole Tingting's jade bracelet, and Yue'er still doesn't allow me to punish this maid, what can I do!" Isn't this bullying us Tingting? It's too bad to give me this aunt's face. ”

After a lot of rhetoric, she directly put all the blame on Xu Qingqing, this woman ......

Master Xu was dissatisfied, "What are you yelling, there is something to say!" What a system of wailing and howling! ”

Xia immediately shut up, and said respectfully, "Father-in-law, this cheap maid stole Tingting's jade bracelet, and we just took someone to search it out of her cabinet, and the human and physical evidence are all there, this kind of slave should be killed with a cane, or sold to Chunmanlou for some silver taels to compensate Tingting." ”

Xu Qingqing won't let her say nonsense, "Oh? How did the second aunt know that Qing'er was the one who stole and led a group of people straight to Qing'er's room to rummage through the cabinets? Isn't that an obvious planting? ”

"You talk nonsense! There are all kinds of human and material evidence, and what else is there to quibble. "Xia is really a fool with no brains, and when Xu Qingqing said this, he immediately became anxious, revealing his flaws.

Xia Tingting saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly interjected: "Sister Yue'er, how could we immediately know that Qing'er was a thief, but she had a dispute with my aunt before, so she must have taken advantage of this to take revenge on us." ”

"Take revenge? Hehe, revenge on you for stealing your jade bracelet? So that you can punish it, right? Not to mention that she is my personal maid, there are few opportunities to act alone, and she was picked up, even if she has money as a jade bracelet, where can she go? Does she have relatives or friends? What can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl do with a silver tael? Xu Qingqing said conclusively, making the two of them speechless for a while.

Master Xu frowned and looked at the second lady and Xia Tingting, thinking that in addition to being able to suppress Xu Zhengyu a little, the second daughter-in-law had made trouble with her niece Xia Tingting in this mansion all day long.

In the end, Xia Tingting reacted quickly and spoke first, "We have no way of knowing this, what she is going to do when she steals the jade bracelet, we don't care, maybe it is not impossible to keep it for herself as a dowry." ”

"Joke, I have already told Xiao Maruko and Qing'er about the dowry, and I will definitely find a good family for them in the future, buy a dowry for the two of them, and let them marry in style. Can they steal you? They in my room as they like. ”

In fact, Xu Qingqing didn't tell the two of them in person, and he just said this to help Qing'er and prevaricate Xia Tingting's mouth.

Xiao Wan and Qing'er looked at Xu Qingqing's eyes full of emotion, where to find such a good young lady, even if they were carrying a lantern, they couldn't find it.

At this time, Qing'er seemed to have made some decision, gritted her teeth and said: "Master, it doesn't matter if Qing'er is wronged, now Qing'er wants to identify Miss Xia and Xu Ergongzi for Miss, and the slave maid saw with her own eyes that they pushed Miss into the lake, and said that from now on, this Xu family will be her Xia Tingting's eldest lady." ”
