Here, Xu Yuan looked at Du Jingqing with tears in her eyes, she was really guilty, and she had the heart to make up for it.

She thought that her small courtyard was near the main courtyard, and she wanted to have everything, which must be much more comfortable than Qingmei Courtyard, so she proposed to Mrs. Xu: "Old lady, Sister Qinqing was injured because of me, and it is inconvenient to move this injury, so it is better to let her rest here with me, and it is not too late to leave when she gets better." ”

Old Madam Xu pondered for a moment and said, "What you said also makes sense. Qinqing, would you rather stay here or go back to Qingmei Temple? ”

Du Jingqing was willing to stay on Xu Yuan's side, and responded with a smile. Shuang'er, who was standing behind, was also overjoyed when she heard this.

This time, Xu Yuan was really distressed. One is that she was injured because of herself, and the other is that Du Jingqing is under the fence after all, even if she does not eat less and wear less, it must be sad.

Even when you are injured, you don't have a place to rely on, and you have to act according to people's eyes.

Xu Yuan said to Du Jingqing: "Sister Qinqing, it just so happens that we can stay together more." ”

Du Jingqing also looked at Xu Yuan and smiled: "Okay." ”

Old Madam Xu couldn't hide the smile on her face when she saw Shuang'er, and couldn't help asking, "That girl, why are you so happy?" Your girl is still in bed! ”

When Shuang'er heard the old lady shouting to herself, she knelt down and said, "It's the slave's fault." It's just that the slave maid thinks that if she is not in Qingmei Temple, she doesn't have to be ......."

Du Jingqing propped up a little with his left hand and shouted, "Don't say it!" ”

Old Madam Xu waved her hand to Du Jingqing, and then said to Shuang'er with a white face: "You continue." ”

Shuang'er knelt on the ground and continued: "It's the slave who is talkative, Miss blames the slave!" It's all because of the little girl named Yue'er before, she was given by Miss's mother-in-law, and the deed is not here with Miss, so she gives Miss and me a face in the Qingmei Courtyard all day long. ”

"I didn't want to pay attention to her, but there aren't many girls in Qingmei Courtyard, and there is always some work to be done this month. If she can serve Miss a little better this month, I won't complain about her so much. Let her go to the kitchen to get food, and she will be cold; Let her wash her clothes, and she will wash them. All day long, he made trouble in the Qingmei Courtyard. ”

Old Madam Xu frowned slightly, and said, "Then why don't you say anything to me?" ”

Du Jingqing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it. Seeing this, Shuang'er hurriedly said: "This month's body deed is not with Miss, Miss doesn't dare to do anything to her, she can't beat or scold, even if the stepwife of the Du family uses this as an excuse to make trouble for you, ...... you."

Old Madam Xu snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Does this Li still dare to come to my Xu Mansion because of this girl? Qinqing, listen up, next time that girl is still making such a mess, just dispel her arrogance and tell her that even if she is beaten to death in the courtyard, Li will not dare to come and fart! ”

Mrs. Xu is a girl from Jiangmen, married to a general, and she doesn't have a literary temperament when she speaks, but over the years, she has gradually reined in her slightly rough style. It's just that Du Jingqing was injured to save her little daughter, and she learned that she was squeezed by the maid stuffed by her stepmother, is this still necessary? immediately slapped the board, and said something to Shucheng behind him.

After finishing the order, Mrs. Xu said to Du Jingqing: "Don't worry, it's arranged for you." ”

Du Jingqing's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he struggled to get up and salute, but was stopped by Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan said: "Sister Qinqing, you have just been injured, don't toss." ”

Old Madam Xu also nodded and said, "Well, lie down well." ”

And the frost below kowtowed again and again and thanked: "Old lady Xie! Thank you, old lady! ”

This head is really solid, and Xu Yuan can listen to it on the side.

Du Jingqing said: "It's really troublesome for the old lady...... I can't manage the affairs in my own yard, and I have to work for you, old lady. ”

Every sentence was said sincerely and humbly, and Mrs. Xu couldn't help but say: "Qinqing, you are sometimes too sensible." ”

It is said that crying children have milk to eat, how can Du Jingqing not understand this truth, but she is not as good as an orphan girl now, and she is just sent under the fence alone, and her future fate is still held by her stepmother, what can she do if she is not sensible?

Du Jingqing lowered his eyes and said, "Old lady, Qinqing can only be sensible." ”

Old Madam Xu sighed, didn't say anything, sat for a while, and called the housekeeper who took care of the small courtyard.

This housekeeper's mother-in-law's surname is Shen, her husband and children are all working for the Grange of Xu's Mansion outside, and she herself is serving in this side courtyard, and now she is also a little steward.

Originally, there were not many people in this hospital, and at most there were occasional female guests staying overnight. Finally, Mrs. Shen gave Mrs. Shen a look forward to the master coming in, or the girl that the old lady had just found back, and before she had time to show herself and behave well, this happened, and Mrs. Shen only felt that her hair was going to fall out.

When Mrs. Shen saw Miss Du being carried in before, she knew that there was nothing good, so she waited outside for the summons with fear, and sure enough, she came in upside down.

As soon as Mrs. Shen came in, she knelt down, bowed her head and said, "Say hello to the old lady, to the fourth girl, and to the Du girl." ”

Old Madam Xu didn't let her get up, and asked directly from the point: "Where the two girls fell, did you go to check it?" "The corridor where the two fell is on the edge of this small courtyard, and it should be under the control of this mother-in-law.

Mrs. Xu's sudden change in tone surprised Xu Yuan, these days Mrs. Xu talked to her in a good voice, making her almost forget how magnificent the old lady was outside.

Mrs. Shen hurriedly responded: "As soon as something happened, the old slave went to see it by himself, and there was nothing abnormal under the corridor." I think maybe the snow was uneven, and it happened to be a big snowfall, and the snow on it directly covered the empty piece. ”

Old Madam Xu said in a deep voice: "I don't care if it's an accident or not, you don't control the people below, if this snow is cleared, how can there be so many things?" ”

Shen Pozi's body was almost on the ground, and she confessed repeatedly: "It's the old slave's fault, it's the old slave's fault!" Please ask the old lady to condemn her guilt. ”

Mrs. Xu didn't really think about what to do with her, she really changed the person in charge, and she had to familiarize herself with the situation in the courtyard first, and she might not have this Shen Pozi to manage it well for a while. It's just that Wei still has to give, otherwise wouldn't everyone be lazy, so how would she serve her Yuan'er?

Old Madam Xu lifted her eyelids, looked down at Mrs. Shen, and said, "Buckle the monthly case for half a year, take care of it in the courtyard, if you still can't manage it well......

Mrs. Shen hurriedly said: "No! If the old slave can't manage it well, he will carry his burden and go to the field to farm! ”

When Xu Yuan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, remembered something, and said, "Old lady, I can't complain about this." The snow is falling too hard for manpower to sweep, but I have an idea, I don't know if you've heard of it? ”
