Text Chapter 772 Overheard
"Ping'er, pour me some water. [No pop-ups. The second lady Yao Shuyun, who was lying on the bed, woke up from a nap and felt that her mouth was dry, so she sat on the bed and looked around the room, but she didn't see the figure of the maid Ping'er, and hurriedly shouted.
"If you hear it, I'll pour it for you right away." In the yard, the maid Ping'er was collecting the clothes to dry, and in such a crisp autumn weather, the thin dress dried quickly. As soon as she heard the shouts of the second lady in the room, the maid Ping'er hurriedly responded.
"Second lady, you're awake. Feel better today? Ping'er asked the second lady Yao Shuyun who was sitting on the bed, the second lady Yao Shuyun was uncomfortable the day before yesterday, and after asking the doctor to see it, she said that it was caused by depression and depression, and she prescribed a lot of calming medicines.
"Second lady, you better drink the medicine first, Ping'er has already boiled the medicine for you, so I'll bring it to you." As she spoke, Ping'er left the room and went to the small kitchen in the courtyard.
"The medicine prescribed by the doctor this time is very bitter, and I don't want to drink it at all when I think about the taste." The second lady, Yao Shuyun, said to Ping'er, the maid who helped her out of bed.
"Second lady, the medicine is bitter, you better drink it while it's hot. I'll go get you some preserves in a while, and you won't feel bitter. The maid Ping'er smiled and persuaded her.
In the room, the second lady Yao Shuyun picked up the medicine on the table and drank it in one go, her expression was extremely painful at the moment, but fortunately, the maid Ping'er handed over the candied fruit in time, and the bitter herbal taste in her mouth was relieved.
The second lady Yao Shuyun has been worried about Zhong Zhong since the day she was punished by the lord and thought about it behind closed doors, and she always felt that the lord would not pay attention to her in the future.
Originally, the second lady was not very favored in the house, but now she has done such a thing, it is really pitiful, and a good grandson let her fall from the rockery and die.
And Qin Liusu and her in the other courtyard are also enemies, and the two of them had an argument on the edge of the pond, the second lady Yao Shuyun did not fall, and Qin Liusu in the other courtyard actually fell.
It doesn't matter if it falls, the key is that Qin Liusu is pregnant, and her body is already weak, but because of a dispute with her, the child also had a miscarriage. Speaking of which, it can only be said that the second lady is less lucky.
Now, if there is no such dedication to serve her personal maid Ping'er, the second lady Yao Shuyun's life in this Zhang Mansion is really difficult.
Although the eldest young master was born for the master, the eldest young master is now married, and the eldest young grandmother has not come to the residence of the second lady Yao Shuyun since the little young master Heng'er fell from the rockery and died.
It seems that it is difficult to get the forgiveness of her son and daughter-in-law, and now that she has been punished by the lord and thought about it behind closed doors, the people in the house are afraid to avoid her, let alone come to visit her.
On weekdays, the second lady Yao Shuyun has no friends, except for the third lady Ye Lingxi, the people in the house rarely come and go. At present, there is no one else around her except the loyal maid Ping'er.
"Second lady, the handkerchief you embroidered last time hasn't been embroidered yet, why don't you go get it now, and you will continue to embroider?" The maid Ping'er proposed.
"Okay, you go get it. Anyway, I feel panicked when I'm idle, and don't do it in the small kitchen at night, you can take the food box to the big kitchen to get some food. The second lady, Yao Shuyun, looked at the maid Ping'er who served her, and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, Second Madame." The maid Ping'er went to pick up the box and food box containing the female red while responding, and then put it on the table, and she also picked up the handkerchief she had embroidered before and continued to embroider it, passing the boring time.
In the meantime, the maid Ping'er always thought of hearing those conversations in the third lady's bedroom when she went to wash clothes in the afternoon, and she was in a trance for a while, and was stabbed on her hand several times by an embroidery needle. It hurts terribly.
The second lady, Yao Shuyun, stared at her maid Ping'er for a long time, and then said: "Ping'er, what's wrong with you today, you are always pierced by embroidery needles, how can you be so absent-minded when you do things?" ”
The maid Ping'er was overwhelmed by the question, and hurriedly said: "Second lady, Ping'er didn't, it's just, it's just." Seeing the maid Ping'er spitting like this, the second lady Yao Shuyun was even more puzzled.
If it were usual, Ping'er, the maid, would definitely not be like this, she must have something to hide from herself, so she would be like this. Thinking of this, the second lady Yao Shuyun was even more worried.
Could it be the master? Or is there something going on in Fuchu? These speculations made the second lady Yao Shuyun anxious at the moment, but on the surface, she still had to pretend to be indifferent.
"My good Ping'er, what the hell is going on? Speak to me. The second lady, Yao Shuyun, looked at Ping'er and asked softly. At this moment, the second lady Yao Shuyun only hopes that she can hear the good news, not something worse than now.
"Second lady, if I tell you, you must not be angry, and you must not be angry, the doctor has said that your body is fine, but it is caused by depression and depression, can you do it?" The maid Ping'er said tentatively.
"You can rest assured, now that I have been punished by the lord and thought about it behind closed doors, even if there is something worse than this, I will not be angry, you say." The second lady, Yao Shuyun, looked at the maid Ping'er with firm eyes.
"Madam, when you were taking a nap, I went to the well in the backyard to wash my clothes, and I heard that the housekeeper Zhou was in the third lady's room, as if he wanted to force the third lady to submit to him." After speaking, the maid Ping'er looked at the second lady Yao Shuyun worriedly.
"And then? The third lady, Ye Ling, did she obey him? The second lady Yao Shuyun asked the maid Ping'er nervously, and Ping'er was really startled by the appearance of the second lady Yao Shuyun.
"Second lady, the arm you grabbed Ping'er hurts so much." Ping'er shouted. Feeling her gaffe, the second lady Yao Shuyun hurriedly let go of the hands that were holding Ping'er's arms.
"No, I guess I said next time. Then the third lady's maid Cui'er went into the bedroom, and they spoke quietly, but Ping'er didn't hear it. After the maid Ping'er finished speaking in one breath, she carefully observed the expression on the face of the second lady Yao Shuyun.
I saw that the second lady Yao Shuyun was very nervous at first when she heard these things, and then she was a little worried, and then the second lady Yao Shuyun actually laughed, and her laughter made the maid Ping'er feel unspeakably afraid.
Fortunately, it is in the bedroom at the moment, if it is in the courtyard, everyone who hears it is afraid that they will think that Yao Shuyun, the second lady in Zhang's mansion, has gone crazy.
After laughing for a long time, the second lady Yao Shuyun actually started crying again, and the maid Ping'er saw her like this, and hurriedly stepped forward cautiously to comfort: "Second lady, it's all Ping'er's bad, let the second lady make you sad, you can beat me and scold me." ”
"My good Ping'er, now there are only you and me here, you have always been waiting for me, how could I beat you, I am just sad that the master is treating me like this, I am just sad for myself." The second lady Yao Shuyun cried and said.
Thinking that he has never had two hearts in the mansion in the past few decades, except for the master, but the master prefers the third lady Ye Lingxi, and he and the third lady Ye Lingxi have not given the eldest lady Yu Qingwan a stumbling block in order to compete for favor.
And now that she has been punished by the lord for thinking about it behind closed doors, there is no one in this house who does not look at her jokes.
Only the third lady, Ye Lingxi, although she has done so many bad things with her, she still won the favor of the master, and now the lord still loves her so much.
Thinking that she and the third lady Ye Lingxi begged Steward Zhou in the mansion to let the housekeeper sell the maid Xiaoqing to the brothel in the capital, she noticed that the housekeeper Zhou and the third lady Ye Lingxi in the mansion frowned. is not shy about being suspicious in front of her.
It seems that it won't be long before the two of them must be in love, the concubine is intentional, and it is not necessary to do something about it, but I am afraid that I will definitely cuckold the lord at that time.
But the old man still doted on the third lady Ye Lingxi, and the more the second lady Yao Shuyun thought about it, the more angry she felt, the bad things on weekdays were done by the two of them together, but now she was the only one who would suffer.
And since she was punished by the master and thought about it behind closed doors, the third lady Ye Lingxi has not come to see her, let alone sent the maid over to say some words of comfort to her.
It seems that he should find a chance to meet the lord or the lady, so as not to let the third lady Ye Lingxi make waves in this mansion, and then smear the lord's face. Thinking of these, an imperceptible smile appeared on the face of the second lady Yao Shuyun.
"Ping'er, it's not too early, you go to the big kitchen to get dinner. From today onwards we will all eat in the big kitchen, and we don't have to cook in the small kitchen. The second lady, Yao Shuyun, said to her maid Ping'er.
Of course, the maid Ping'er was indescribably happy about the arrangement of the second lady Yao Shuyun, if she ate in the small kitchen, she would also prepare meals for the second lady, although there were only the two of them, and they didn't eat much. But it's also quite troublesome.
Now the second lady Yao Shuyun didn't know that there was a problem with that nerve, and she suddenly asked her to take the food box to the big kitchen to get food, what about him, how good is this, you can also go out for a walk by the way, the maid Ping'er was very happy when she thought of this.
And the second lady Yao Shuyun has her own plans in her heart, although she is now being punished by the master to think about it behind closed doors in the residence, but if she lets her maid Ping'er go to the big kitchen every day to get food, then she can also know everything that is happening in the house.
On weekdays, if something happens in the house, the maids will inevitably talk to each other, which is an opportunity for the second lady Yao Shuyun, who has been thinking behind closed doors, to contact the outside world. Of course she wouldn't let it go.
"Yes, Second Madam, you see that you have been worried about it these days, don't think about some things, let's take care of your body." After saying with a smile, the maid Ping'er left with the food box.
In the evening, the old man returned home, and this time he went to see the third lady Ye Lingxi first, and then left the third lady's residence and went to the residence of the third lady Yu Qingwan for dinner.
Mrs. Yu Qingwan, who was accompanied by the maid Yu'er to copy the scriptures in the afternoon, saw the old man coming over at this time, and the whole person looked smiling.
"Sir, you're back. So I ordered the kitchen to bring food. Mrs. Yu Qingwan said with a smile at the master. The maid Yu'er on the side was still standing there like a chicken.
"Yu'er, you go to the big kitchen to inform and ask the maids in the kitchen to bring the food, and say that the master is also here tonight." Mrs. Yu Qingwan whispered to the stunned maid Yu'er on the side.
But I was unspeakably annoyed in my heart, if Xiao Lian was here on weekdays, she said this to the master, Xiao Lian would definitely leave directly to the big kitchen and order to bring food.
Now this Yu'er was a maid who had just entered the house, but she didn't expect it to be so unenlightened, and many things still need to be so clear to her.
Madame's maid Yu'er at Qingwan's place walked all the way to the kitchen in a panic, and said to the few cooks in the kitchen: "The eldest lady said, let me quickly bring the food to her residence, and the old man will also eat at Madame's place at this time." ”
A few cooks in the kitchen glanced at the maid Yu'er, and knew that she was new, so they smiled and said, "I'll send it in a while." Let's go back first, girl. ”
Mrs. Yu Qingwan's maid Yu'er walked out of the kitchen, and after walking a few steps, she actually ran into the maid Ping'er in the second lady Yao Shuyun's room.
When the maid Yu'er saw Ping'er holding a beautiful food box in her hand, she asked, "Which room are you in?" You're pretty delicate in this food box. ”
"I'm Ping'er, the maid in the second lady's room. What about you? Why didn't you bring a food box? The second lady Yao Shuyun's maid Ping'er in the room opened her mouth to ask the lively and lovely Yu'er in front of her.
"I'm the maid Yu'er in the doctor's room, and my wife didn't tell me to bring a food box." The maid Ping'er in the second lady Yao Shuyun's room couldn't help but look at her a few more times when she heard Yu'er say that she was the maid in Mrs. Yu Qingwan's room.
In this Zhang Mansion, except for the aunts and wives who have to use food boxes to get three or four dishes in the big kitchen when they eat, Yu Qingwan, the hostess of the Zhang Mansion, doesn't need to do this at all.
Regardless of whether the master is eating at Mrs. Yu Qingwan's place or not, Mrs. Yu Qingwan's three meals a day are prepared by the big kitchen, and then the maid in the kitchen who specializes in serving dishes is personally delivered. It is often the case that the entire table is filled, and there are at least twelve dishes or more.
It's just that Mrs. Yu Qingwan has always been thrifty, and she doesn't like such extravagance and waste, plus she eats fasting and recites Buddha. On weekdays, there are porridge and side dishes in the morning and evening, and some vegetarian dishes are fried at noon, unless the master will order the kitchen to cook more when he eats at her place.
Hearing that the maid Yu'er actually said that Madame did not tell her to take the food box, Ping'er guessed that she must have entered the mansion not long ago, and she didn't know the rules of this mansion, otherwise she would have said something like that just now.
