Xu Yuan raised her hand to let them get up, a little puzzled why they got up so early to work, so she asked, "Why did you get up so early?" I'm not saying I'm not in a hurry, just sort it out in the next two days. ”

Shuqing smiled and said, "Miss's kindness, we can save ourselves." But Miss went to bed early yesterday, I don't know. Later, there was news that the housekeeper Mama who was called by the old lady was coming today. ”

Soyu added, "So we want to do a good job before Mama comes." ”

Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed, the large pile of things she bought, so much so that the little maid got up before dawn to clean up.

But you can't stop people at this time, right? Xu Yuan nodded, praised them a few words, and then turned her head to the small kitchen and ordered the two hard-working girls to add more chicken legs in the morning......

The people in the kitchen had to prepare breakfast, and naturally they were the first to get up in the courtyard, and they were also busy at the moment.

When Mama Lan saw Xu Yuan coming, she greeted her with a smile as usual, and said, "Yo, Miss got up early today." Today, I prepared red dates and yam porridge, lotus leaf cakes, and jade lotus root balls for you, do you still want some side ones? ”

Xu Yuan said secretly: I want the old godmother with white porridge, but unfortunately you don't have it.

Xu Yuan cleared her throat and said, "That's all good." Make two bowls of hot soup and send them to Shuyu Shuqing in the courtyard. Their breakfast was prepared earlier this morning. ”

Mama Lan hurriedly responded.

Of course, the first hot breakfast was delivered to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan finished eating breakfast slowly, and Shuyu came to report: "Miss, we have finished the calculation." ”

As he spoke, he handed the registered booklet to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan nodded, took the booklet, and said, "Hard work, let's go rest and have breakfast." ”

After Shuyu retreated, Xu Yuan opened the booklet and thought about what things to give as gifts.

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, hairpin ring jewelry, nothing more than these.

Dushi was pregnant, so Xu Yuan put a little more thought into it and bought a complete set of toys for young children. She didn't dare to send other things, for fear of provoking taboos.

Xu Yuan closed the booklet, looked at the sky outside the window, and said, "The weather is not very good today, it looks like it's going to rain." ”

Xiaolan echoed: "Yes, the sky is gloomy. ”

While the two were chatting, it suddenly started to rain outside.

The rain was not heavy or heavy, fine and dense, and it fell one after another.

Seeing that the sky was not good earlier, the maid had already gone to get a rain cloth and covered the flowers and plants in the yard. The raindrops fall on the waterproof cloth and hit the ground, and the sound is crisp and staggered, and it is very pleasant.

"It's a bad day, and I don't know when that grandma will come."

Xu Yuan looked at the hazy rain curtain, and just wanted to reach out and grab a handful of raindrops, but she heard a little girl say urgently: "Miss, there is a grandmother in the direction of the main courtyard." ”

Xu Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, hide from the rain under the eaves - have you ever seen that grandma?" ”

The little girl shook her head.

Those eight achievements are the new housekeepers. Xu Yuan understood and called two maids to greet her.

In a short time, the grandmother arrived.

The appearance of this grandmother made Xu Yuan stunned: "You ......"

"The old slave's surname is Shu, and he is the housekeeper that the old lady transferred to Miss, and I have met you in Beizhuang with Miss before." Mama Shu said as she made a big gift to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan reacted at this time, and hurriedly helped Mama Shu to get up, and said, "Mama, why don't you wait for the rain to come again, this weather is not suitable for walking." ”

Mama Shu came in the rain, and the corners of her clothes and hair were already stained with moisture. Xu Yuan took her to the house, and as soon as she entered the house, the sharp-eyed maid took a cloth towel and wiped it for Mama Shu.

Mama Shu thanked the girl for her kindness, took the cloth towel herself, gently dusted off the moisture around her body, and said, "I should have come when you moved the hospital, Miss, but it was too late, and I didn't dare to delay any longer." ”

Xu Yuan said that it was okay, and asked again, "Grandma can you have breakfast?" If it doesn't work, go and make up for it first. ”

Mama Shu replied respectfully: "I used it on the road, miss." ”

After that, Mama Shu inquired about the general situation in the courtyard, and said, "Miss, the old slave wants to go around the courtyard." ”

Xu Yuan called Shuqing and asked her to take Mama Shu to familiarize herself with the twenty-one house.

After Mama Shu left, Xiaolan whispered to Xu Yuan: "This Mama looks so majestic, much more serious than when we saw it in the other courtyard last time." ”

Xu Yuan also felt the same way, and when she faced Mama Shu, she had a feeling of facing the invigilator...... She said: "Yes, maybe it's because the person who wants to take care of things always has to stand up. ”

Xiaolan took Xu Yuan's hand and walked into the house, and said, "Miss, do you want to do the same?" ”

Xu Yuan looked at the maids and ladies who couldn't be idle on rainy days, felt that she was too idle, and replied casually: "I think I'm already very majestic." But now that there is a serious housekeeper, I don't have to be too fierce. ”

Xiao Lan sneered: "Miss, are you still fierce?" When did you kill yourself? ”

As soon as he arrived in the house and sat down, Xu Yuan was not in a hurry to take Xiaolan's words, but took out the previous prescription, and then said, "I'm not fierce yet?" I'm going to send you now! ”

When Xiaolan heard this, he smiled but did not speak.

Xu Yuan has taken medicine for a long time, although he can't be called a doctor after a long illness, but he is still clear about the medicinal properties of the medicine he often takes.

So, she folded the paper, stuffed it into Xiaolan's hand, and instructed: "Take this prescription, go to any house doctor and let him take a look." But don't say it's for me. ”

Xiaolan teased: "Okay, Miss. It's good that the slave is illiterate, and if she can't read words, she won't know the lady's little secret. ”

Xu Yuan nudged her, pretending to be disgusted: "Do you know less about my big secret and little secret?" I don't know who is too lazy to read, and last time I wanted to teach some people who were not listened to. ”

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Xiao Lan doesn't know, it's definitely not Xiao Lan." ”

Xu Yuan made a gesture to hit her, but Xiao Lan dodged and ran outside.

Seeing her recklessness, Xu Yuan was angry and shouted at her: "Umbrella! Don't forget to bring an umbrella! ”

Xiaolan turned around and stuck out his tongue at Xu Yuan, took the umbrella and slipped away.

In fact, Xu Yuan rarely asks Xiaolan to do this kind of errand work, after all, she is already her personal maid, and she usually can't leave her.

And Shuqing was introducing Mama Shu in the warehouse: "This is the cage where the young lady puts the clothes that are not in season, and here is the ......"

Mama Shu listened, but her eyes drifted to Xiao Lan who passed by in the courtyard.

Seeing this, she frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Shuqing on the side saw that Mama Shu frowned, and asked a little worriedly, "Mama, but what's wrong?" ”

Mama Shu shook her head and motioned for Shuqing to continue: "It's nothing, what's on the other side?" ”
