Chapter 023: Little Miss
"Ahemβahem." Although the temperature of this bowl of porridge was just right and not hot at all, Xu Yuan was still choked.
The throat, which had not been in contact with food for a long time, seemed to be unable to adapt for a while, although physically, Xu Yuan had only not eaten for three days. But in terms of consciousness, Xu Yuan has lost count of the years of losing her five senses in her dream after fainting.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu said, "Slow down, don't be in a hurry, there are as many bowls as you want." β
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but think of what her second son said to her the day before yesterday, thinking of Xu Yuan's previous family background and the hard life of escaping from the famine, and seeing her picture of drinking bird's nest porridge and wanting to swallow it with her tongue, she felt a real distress in her heart, and made up her mind to compensate her little daughter a hundred times and a thousand times.
Mrs. Xu rejoiced in her heart, God not only let her find the daughter she longed for, but also it was not too late to find the place back, the daughter was few and young, and there was still a long time before she got married or married, she still had time to compensate her, and she had time to choose the best family for her youngest daughter, and watch her live a happy life.
Xu Yuan didn't know the psychological activity of Mrs. Xu, she stretched out her hand to the pastries next to her, she was hungry for three days, and the amount of food she ate was naturally unusual.
Old Madam Xu looked a little worried, and reminded: "Don't be in a hurry, you just woke up, there is nothing in your stomach, you can't eat too much at once." β
However, Xu Yuan was already so hungry that she couldn't take care of these things, and her psychological hunger was far greater than her physical hunger. Still not satisfied after eating, she wiped her mouth and licked her lips.
Old Madam Xu saw that Xu Yuan's eating appearance was about to fall into tears, of course, she was not afraid that she would not be able to support her little daughter, but she couldn't help but think about what kind of life she had in the previous years, whether it was even more unsmooth than what Xu Chusheng described.
After filling her stomach, Xu Yuan only felt much more comfortable, feeling that the food in her stomach was the confidence of her life, and even the depression blocked in her heart was slightly dispersed.
Since the voice of the mystery asked her to work, it wouldn't let her die easily. If she can't die, then she can only live well, and besides, she still has so many doubts that have not been solved, and she doesn't want to go into the ground with so many questions.
Xu Yuan tilted her head and thought about what kind of tone and expression to use before speaking, and Mrs. Xu said, "Yuan'er, you can live in the main courtyard for the time being." Wait until I tidy up your little yard and you move over there. β
Xu Yuan curled up and hugged the quilt, nodded and said, "Okay." β
Old Madam Xu counted again: "I have arranged it for you, the maid-in-law." The two maids just now are Shuqing and Shuyu, who were originally serving by my side, so I will assign you to be personal maids. The maid next to you before was too young, so it's better to put it in the yard and learn it first. β
At the mention of Xiaolan, Xu Yuan cheered up a little and said, "She serves her very well, so she doesn't have to change." β
Mrs. Xu didn't say anything more, and said, "Okay, listen to Yuan'er, how comfortable Yuan'er is." β
Mrs. Xu stroked the corner of the quilt, sat up straight, and said softly: "Yuan'er, you are my most beloved daughter." Something bad happened in the past, and I can see that you may be blaming me or blaming me now, or you may have been frightened by this change. There are some things that I can't tell you now, but Yuan'er, if you believe me, I will definitely be good to you. β
ββ¦β¦ As for me now, when I can see Yuan'er by my side, I am already very grateful to God for mercy, and I will not embarrass you or force you to recognize your relatives or whatever. It's still like what I just said, how comfortable is Yuan'er. β
Before Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she saw that Xu Yuan had closed her eyes and fell asleep with her head tilted. Seeing this, Mrs. Xu sat quietly like this, with a smile in her eyes, watching Xu Yuan fall asleep.
After a long time, it was not until it was confirmed that Xu Yuan had fallen asleep that Mrs. Xu stood up, gently hugged her waist, laid her flat on the bed, covered the quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt before leaving quietly.
Seeing Mrs. Xu come out, the maid in the courtyard just wanted to see her, but she raised her hand to signal to stop.
Old Madam Xu said in a low voice: "You all know, I put you in this courtyard so that you can serve Miss well today and even in the future." If you serve well, it will naturally be good; If you don't serve well......"
Although Mrs. Xu's voice was light, the meaning in her words was very heavy. Hearing such words, how dare everyone disobey, one by one, they swore that they would serve well.
As for why there is no gambling curse to swear, these maids are all human spirits, and when they see the old lady like this, they can reflect that the little master inside must have stopped, and they will not make noise to the little master without their eyesight.
There was only a small Lan left in the courtyard, and he was still standing stupidly in a daze, looking like he was out of condition.
After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she walked to Xiaolan's side lightly and said, "Go in and wait, move lightly." β
Seeing Mrs. Xu suddenly walking towards her, Xiaolan was startled at first, and after listening to the order, she hurriedly responded, and couldn't wait to enter the house.
Old Madam Xu looked at her but was very pleasing to the eye, and said as she walked: "She is a person who can serve Yuan'er." β
The eldest maid Shucheng who followed the old lady was a little puzzled and asked, "The slave maid thinks that this girl is still young, and I am afraid that she will not be able to handle it." β
Old Madam Xu was not surprised that Shucheng would think so, and said: "Let's take one step at a time, it's enough to have this loyalty, and you can raise it if you can take care of it." Moreover, it is enough to have Shuqing and Shuyu in charge. β
Shucheng echoed: "This is also true, loyalty has always been the rarest. β
Mrs. Xu left after visiting Xu Yuan here, not because she didn't want to stay with her daughter for a while, but because the Xu Mansion has been going on one after another recently, and as the only elder in the mansion now, she has too many things to worry about; The second is that Xu Yuan is not comfortable with her, and she can't get along in a hurry at this time.
As soon as she stepped back to the bamboo garden where she usually did things, Mrs. Xu said again: "Shucheng, after that, mention more Shuyu and Shuqing, so that they can just follow the fourth lady if they have anything, it's really uneven, just tell me." β
Shu Cheng responded and said with a smile: "Old lady, you are too worried, they are out by your side." Who would dare to put a score on them and make them unfair? β
There was a playful joke from behind: "What is uneven, auntie, you can also talk to me." β
Listening to this delicate voice, Mrs. Xu didn't need to look back, she knew that the person who came was the eldest daughter-in-law's maiden cousin, the seventh lady of Anpingbo's mansion, Du Jingqing.
