"What's there? Our Zhilan Courtyard is so big, even if it is grounded, there are enough places to play, and we are with us. Xiao Juan Yun said.

"Third Miss, if the master sends you and the second miss away, and the fourth miss is alone in the yard, it will be sad."

"She dares to send me away, I, I'm really sick to show her."

Mother Rong and Xiao Qiyun felt that this was not a good way, but they seemed to have only one way to stay, so they didn't say anything.

While speaking, it was time for lunch, Ah Lai naturally would not come to Zhilan Courtyard to announce the punishment measures, and the king of Hades urged him not to urge food, so he had to wait until he had eaten.

The Xiao family is comfortable, after lunch, everywhere is quiet, Wen Jin also took a nap for a while, then sat under the color shed and began to read the accounts, this kind of running account, it looks very troublesome, Wen Jin asked Xia Yang to help make a stack of form paper, and fill in the rest that has not been read.

At this time, Xiao Qiyun was still lazy and dazed when she woke up, and when she opened her eyes to look at the hollyhocks outside the window, the red flowers and green leaves were growing very luxuriantly.

"Second Miss, here is Damu."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Qiyun was a little impatient.

"Second Miss, it's probably because of the dim sum." Mei Hong reminded cautiously.

"Sure enough!" Xiao Qiyun stood up with a "whew", her movements were so violent that she was a little dizzy, she shook, and Mei Hong hurriedly supported her.

Mother Rong had already heard the news, and then followed in, seeing this scene, she quickly reminded: "Be careful to help the second lady." ”

Xiao Qiyun's temples were scattered, her eyelids were swollen when she just fell asleep, and she walked intentionally, she really looked like a three-point patient, she just walked out of the hall, Ah Lai had already walked under the steps, and when she saw such a look, she hurriedly said: "Second Miss sit down quickly, your body is better?" ”

"Well, I've been much better after taking the medicine, and my body is no longer hot, but I'm not energetic." Xiao Qiyun said with a bitter face.

Mei Hong also echoed on the side: "Yes, come to Damu, I got up just now and almost fell." ”

"Please go back to the house and sit down, it's windy outside." Ah said.

Xiao Qiyun turned around and walked back, Ah Lai glared at Mei Hong behind her, how could the master speak, she interjected indiscriminately, Xiao Qiyun never restrained people well, Mei Hong didn't know what mistake she had made, although she was a little afraid of Ah Lai, but she was at a loss.

Ah Lai couldn't train the slave in front of the master, so he had to say to Xiao Qiyun: "The illness is like a mountain, and the illness is like a thread, the second lady still has to take care of it, don't take care of the affairs of the family, the slave is here to find Mother Rong." ”

"What's the matter with coming to Damu to find Mother Rong?" Xiao Qiyun was nervous, and couldn't help but call Ah Lai to come to the big mu, since she grew up, she only called "Ah Lai".

"Second Miss, I think you also know that Fourth Miss forcibly took away the snacks of the eldest lady's hospitality today, and beat Gong's mother."

"So what? Aya Yun is young and ignorant, so the eldest lady won't even refuse to forgive this, right? ”

Ah Lai froze for a moment, and looked at Xiao Qiyun almost in disbelief: "Second Miss, this is not a question of whether the eldest lady is willing to forgive, and if it weren't for the emergency remediation in the kitchen, our Xiao Mansion's face would have been damaged, Fourth Miss made such a mistake, as a sister, don't you think she should educate her well at all?" ”

"Come to Damu, don't you follow the eldest lady and make waves with a small thing the size of a sesame seed, how old is Ayaun? After a few years of age, she will naturally understand the reason. ”

"Second Miss, if you think so, don't blame Ah Lai for not being able to agree with you, which child's child did something wrong and couldn't be instructed well, she could get better by herself? When you're older, you're sensible? When I'm older, I'm still more ignorant, so I guess the second miss has heard a lot about the stories of those losers' children, right? ”

"Ahh Xiao Qiyun was at a loss for words, snorted angrily, and said threateningly: "Have you made up your mind to help the eldest lady bully Ayayun?" ”

"What do you say about the second miss?"

What do you mean by that? A few days ago, I wanted to have a treat, but the eldest lady relied on her father's favor and was in charge of the middle and thin, and she rejected the request of the kitchen, and it was only a few days, she could have a treat, why can't I? ”

"Second Miss, speaking of this, Ah Lai also has something to say, the eldest lady has a treat, she sent a post to the Qian Mansion a few days ago, and the other party also replied, agreeing to arrive at the house today, the eldest lady notified the kitchen, shopping, and even the people in the outer courtyard took the initiative to avoid it at the end of the morning, have you prepared in advance? I don't know when the second lady will post, whose girl will she invite, how many people will come, and when will she come? How high is the standard of the greeting in the house? ”

Xiao Qiyun used to invite people to play, and it was all over after saying it in front of her mother, and she didn't care about the rest, how did she know that there was still so much trouble, she was very surprised when she heard this, but she still said stiffly: "I don't know this, but since the eldest lady knows, why don't you mention me?" She's big, and her father let her take care of it. ”

"Second Miss, you have said so much, why have you ever called the eldest sister? You know she's big. Ah Lai was speechless, Grandpa Guo asked her to mention the second miss, otherwise, Ah Lai would not say these words, the second miss was spoiled at all, her kindness, in Xiao Qiyun's eyes, was eccentric, biased towards the eldest lady's heart.

Sure enough, Xiao Qiyun snorted and couldn't listen to it at all.

Ah Lai was also very angry, but she was entrusted by Grandpa Guo, so she had to continue to say patiently: "Second Miss, the eldest lady is in charge of Zhongkui, if you want to have a treat, you have to tell her first, if you don't say it, how can she mention you?" ”

"She's not sincere at all, she can't see me well, where is she willing to mention it?"

"Second Miss, you can't say that, you didn't go to declare, how do you know that the eldest lady didn't mention it? Words must be grounded, and cannot be taken for granted. ”

Xiao Qiyun was speechless, but still looked annoyed.

Ah Lai didn't tear these things up with her, she came for something: "Second Miss, sit down, I have something to find Mother Rong." ”

"I won't, you won't be allowed to trouble them!"

"Second Miss, Fourth Miss made a mistake, your mother is no longer there, the eldest lady is in charge of the inner courtyard and raises her sister for Grandpa Guo, it is a matter of course, if you resolutely stop it, Ah Lai has no choice but to ask Grandpa Guo to come forward."

Xiao Qiyun knew that there was no way to escape today's incident, so she was angry and anxious: "What are you going to do with Ayayun?" ”

"According to the family rules, the fourth lady has to compensate for the loss of today's kitchen, and she will have to pay three times the fine, which was set when the lady was there."

Xiao Qiyun was so angry, the rules set by her mother were originally to punish her subordinates, when will they be used on their heads? But now, she has suffering but can't say it, Ah Lai actually used her father to subdue her, Xiao Qiyun really didn't dare to come hard.

"If you pay a fine, you will be fined, and I will pay for her."

"No, today's dim sum fee is two taels of silver, three times the fine, that is, six taels, and it will be deducted from Miss Four's monthly money."

Xiao Qiyun's anger gradually calmed down, and she felt that Wen Jin was still a daughter of a small family, what was this money to their sisters?

"Alright, Ah, I see. I'll tell Ayaun, you don't have to look for her. ”

"No, it's not over yet, the fourth lady didn't just spoil some snacks, but almost hurt the face of the house, this is wrong, but you have to be punished and grounded, Madame's rules are very clear, a one-month ban, and you have to move to Lingxiao Pavilion to live."

"No, this can't work, Lingxiao Pavilion has not been inhabited for many years, and the houses there are about to break."

"Second Miss, Lingxiao Pavilion is well maintained every year, it is very sturdy, and above the attic, there is also an atlas of Xiao Mansion rules and female rings, twenty-four filial piety, etc., Fourth Miss and Rong's mother moved there, just to participate in research every day, face the wall and think about it, Second Miss cannot be obstructed."

"I just won't allow it?"

"If the second lady feels unfair, she can appeal to Grandpa Guo."

Xiao Qiyun was so angry that she couldn't beat Ah Lai, but she knew that she was not an opponent at all, so she could only open and clench her hands and open them tightly.

"Second Miss, Ah Lai is going to take Fourth Miss and Rong's mother away, and please persuade them well, recognize their mistakes, and correct them as soon as possible." After Ah said, he withdrew, Xiao Qiyun only felt very powerless, she couldn't understand why things didn't go as she imagined at all?

What Ah Lai and Xiao Qiyun said had already spread in Zhilan Courtyard, and she walked to the front of the house where Xiao Ayayun lived, and Mother Rong was standing in the hugging hall at the door of the room, looking at her coldly. In the past, the three of them were among the servants in the house, but they were the role of first-class people, although they did not have real power over the few housekeepers and mothers around the lady, that is, the lady spoke to a few of them with a pleasant face, plus a few young ladies were favored, how majestic they were. Ah Lai, just a mother-in-law who runs a farm, when will it be her turn to point fingers at herself?

Ah Lai quietly looked at the arrogant mother Rong, no wonder the fourth lady would do such an outrageous thing, this nurse is not a thing, she simply taught the little master to deliberately deviate.

As soon as Ah Lai's feeling came up, he was shocked in his heart, thinking about whether he should remind Grandpa Guo, where the eldest lady is, he also has to say, otherwise, I don't know what moths will come out.

Ah Lai made up his mind and said in a calm voice: "Mother Rong, if you don't raise it, it's your father's fault." The teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy, the fourth lady is in the kitchen today, you must also know, almost delayed the eldest lady's banquet, what did you do at that time? Why didn't you follow Miss Four? Until now, you haven't taken the fourth lady to the eldest lady to admit your mistake, so it can be seen that you should be punished heavily. ”

"If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, come sister, if you don't beat us old people, how can you show that you can? The eldest lady doesn't suppress the few young ladies in Zhilan Courtyard, can this Xiao Mansion allow her to cover the sky with one hand? ”

Ah Lai was furious, but she knew that it was not the time to get angry, and Mother Rong said this to the point, which was to force her to be angry, make a fuss, and make her make a mistake and have to go to Lingxiao Pavilion to think about it, and it became that the eldest lady joined forces with her to suppress the original three young ladies in Xiao Mansion.

Seeing that Ah Lai's chest rose and fell sharply, Rong's mother's slightly squinted small eyes flashed with a hint of hope, Ah Lai's eyes could not tolerate sand, but she was more face-conscious, if her run on the spot was effective, an ordeal between herself and Miss Four would be eliminated.

Ah Lai took a deep breath: "Mother Rong, pack up your things and move to Lingxiao Pavilion with Fourth Miss." The mistake made by the fourth lady today, according to the government regulations, should be repaid three times the loss of the kitchen, and at the same time, the confinement for a month, face the wall and think about it. ”

Mother Rong saw that Ah Lai was unmoved, her heart was flustered, but on her face, she put on a stern appearance, and asked angrily: "Ah Lai, when Madam was alive, she was very kind to you and Xiao San, and even your son and daughter benefited, she is gone now, the bones are not cold, you actually cooperated with outsiders and bullied three young ladies, where is your conscience?" ”

Ah Lai stared at Mother Rong coldly: "Madam is gone, but you deliberately led the three young ladies to the crooked path and used them to achieve your ulterior motives, you are the one with ill intentions, right?" ”

"Ah Lai, you are a bloody squirting person, this Xiao Mansion is the Xiao Mansion of several grandfathers, this inner courtyard is the world of a few young ladies, what is it for the fourth young lady to eat a few bites of dim sum? You are deliberately cracking down and bullying motherless children! ”

Ah Lai stood still, with enough tea skills, and looked at Rong's mother angrily, and finally, she slowly raised her hand and waved violently: "Mother Rong, no matter how you quibble, if you do wrong, you will do wrong, according to the rules set by Mrs., you should be punished with ten sticks!" ”

"You dare!" Rong's mother was a little flustered, she didn't expect Ah Lai to come really, in Xiao Mansion, her nurse is not an ordinary subordinate, Ah Lai is not very clear, but she knows a little bit.

Ah Lai was not verbose, and waved to Mama Qing who was standing behind.

There is no one in the house who is not afraid of Mama Qing, although she rarely does it herself.

A large group of maids watched in horror as Mama Qing walked to Mother Rong step by step, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of lying down.

Rong's mother's eyes were round, and she wanted to suppress people with power, but Mama Qing ignored it, as soon as she reached out and pulled Rong's mother's collar, and kicked her foot, Rong's mother fell to the ground.

Like a trick, Mama Qing took out a bamboo pole from her side, and it turned out that the bamboo was very similar to the color of the clothes she was wearing, and no one noticed it.

Mama Qing picked up the torture rod and hit Rong's mother on the ass one by one, and the sound of Rong's mother's screams was all over the yard, but the pants on her legs were just a puff of green smoke. A group of maids saw it clearly, and there was no damage to Mother Rong's pale blue thin silk pants, and there was no trace of blood, that is, even the skin was not broken.

Mama Qing didn't use any force, they all looked at her picking up the bamboo pole, fluttering.

Mother Rong's crying father and screaming at her mother is to make an appearance for others to see.

Ten sticks, soon finished, Qing Mama was expressionless, saluted Ah Lai, turned around and left.

Rong's mother was lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, she glared at Ah Lai hatefully: "You are ruthless!" Madame is gone, and her soul is still watching from heaven, aren't you afraid of retribution? ”

Ah Lai frowned slightly, and said with a look of disgust: "Don't think I don't know anything, why did the second young lady's nurse Mother Qin's family suddenly have such a catastrophe?" How coincidental is it? ”

Mother Rong glared at Ah Lai: "How do I know what's going on with the Qin family?" If you say that, you know that? Do you have anything to do with this? ”

"Mother Rong, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, I advise you to do it yourself, catch up with the dark, if you and the fourth lady are still here, don't blame Grandpa Guo for coming back, you're not welcome."

Rong's mother's facial features were all moved, lying on the ground and moaning one after another, where was there still energy to speak.

Ah Lai left, Xiao Ayayun ran over with a few maids, wanting to help the nurse up, she was in Xiao Juanyun's room just now, and was blocked by the mother-in-law arranged by Ah Lai.

Rong's mother whimpered and cried: "The old woman can't live anymore, she is wholeheartedly for the good of the young lady, but now she has been splashed with dirty water, and I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River——"

Many maids couldn't help but be full of sympathy when they saw Mother Rong like this, and Xiao Ayayun was even more hurt and cried.

During Xiao Qiyun's house, Rong's mother also wanted to meddle in family affairs, Xiao Qiyun sometimes encountered problems, and she would be especially found, although she was Xiao Ayayun's nurse, but in Zhilan Courtyard, she seemed to have the style of a big steward, but Qin's mother saw that there was no wife, Xiao Qiyun relied on herself, so she suppressed Rong's mother, Rong's mother calculated Qin's mother, she was looking for a chance to poke things out, but Xiao Yi accidentally found out, Rong's mother took away Qin's mother, and calculated Su's mother, thinking that in this courtyard, she could cover the sky with one hand, who would think, But she is going to be locked up, and, what Ah Lai said just now, she has obviously discovered her deeds.

If Xiao Qiyun hadn't listened to it, how could she not come out to stop her when she was being tortured? Mother Rong cried for a while, and suddenly thought of this question, so she continued to cry again, and also brought it with her: "Fourth Miss, the eldest lady and Ah Lai have bad intentions, and they sent the three nurses of Zhilan Courtyard away at once, leaving you three young and ignorant, they are so carefree, did you hear what she just said?" Although Mother Qin and I are not very good, but it is just a personality discord, she, she actually said that I hurt Mother Qin, woo, if I am not reluctant to Miss Four, why should I suffer this crime? ”

"Nurse, your kind Aya'er understands, don't feel uncomfortable, go to Lingxiao Pavilion and go to Lingxiao Pavilion, my mother used to like to be quiet there." Xiao Ayayun was still young, and she didn't understand Mother Rong's words at all.

Xiao Qiyun stood in front of the window of the room, her mind was very messy at the moment, before the accident of the nurse Qin's mother, she had a fierce quarrel with Rong's mother in the back garden, she was so focused on tracking down her mother's affairs at that time, and she didn't forget it at all. Ah Lai is not a person who stirs up right and wrong, but Mother Rong is no worse than Mother Qin, what the hell is going on, who should I believe?

Ah Lai went out and went to Wutong Garden.

"Isn't it going well when you come to Damu?"

"Miss, there is something that Ah Lai thinks it is better to tell you."

"Chunming, move a stool for Laidamu."

"No, eldest miss, don't elevate a subordinate like this, after a long time, the rules in the house have been broken." Ah Lai insisted on standing and talking, "Miss, this Mother Rong can't stay, I didn't expect that she has a bigger problem than Mother Su and Mother Qin." Wen Jin didn't speak, and quietly listened to Ah Lai.
