Chapter 30: Surveillance

Xie Songhua is basically not familiar with the people in the Xie family, and he doesn't know this cousin.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, this cousin did not take much special care of her.

The only thing I really had to deal with was the few words I heard in the pavilion a few days ago.

However, even if Xie Songhua doesn't understand the twists and turns of these big families in ancient times, he can see that Xie Qionghua and the second room are not very good.

Xie Changqing, as the eldest son, has nothing to do, not to mention any official position, and can even be said to be doing nothing, and now he only teaches his children and nephews at home.

The old lady of the Xie family was once the emperor's teacher, and he was also a cabinet scholar.

It is surprising that the eldest son is so mediocre.

Now that Mrs. Xie is still here, the three brothers will naturally not separate.

There is the second master Xie Yuncang here to make a comparison, and it seems that the long house is more and more scarce, because the people in the long house have some grievances in their hearts, and it seems that it is also the right thing to do.

But the others are okay, but Xie Qionghua seems to be particularly angry.

Xie Songhua didn't understand her routine for a while, and replied with a smile out of politeness, "Living in Mengpo Ju is just a temporary expedient measure, where is there a reason to live for a long time." ”

Xie Qionghua smiled and said: "I think so too, I haven't been to your Yanchuntai before, and I don't know the situation around you, but I went to see it that time, and I found that there was not even a person waiting in the courtyard of the fourth sister." ”

turned out Qi's cold treatment of Xie Songhua in one sentence, and the people who were eating and drinking at the table couldn't help but stop their chopsticks.

Xie Qionghua didn't seem to see the faces of others, and still talked to Xie Songhua by herself, "This is the same girl in the house, I can't see you being so thrifty, so I think that although I don't have a wide hand, I still have enough manpower, and when the fourth sister returns to the banquet platform, I will send a maid to the fourth sister!"

In addition, if there is anything missing, just ask me to speak, even if I, as a sister, congratulate you on your housewarming. ”

She said it nicely, but after she finished speaking, the beautiful phoenix eyes swept over Qi's face intentionally or unintentionally, where is this to send someone to Xie Songhua, this is slapping Qi's face.

Qi Shidang smiled coldly, "It's still the eldest sister who cares about us Songhua, although Songhua has not been used to the life in our mansion before and refuses to be served, but now that he is back, he naturally has to be the same as the other sisters in the mansion."

There is a rule for the people to be called in your sister's house, and the three girls and the five girls still don't have enough manpower! Where are the more? The four girls don't have to worry about the big girl here, after all, you also have serious things to do now. ”

There were too many wits in these words, Xie Songhua was confused when she heard it, but she understood that Xie Qionghua was using her matter to lose Qi's face!

But she is stupid to participate in this kind of thing, horizontal and vertical is in her favor, she just needs to pretend to be quail.

Sure enough, as if she wanted to prove that she treated Xie Songhua equally, after eating, she discussed with the old lady about matching people in Xie Songhua's house.

The old lady was teasing Brother An, with a smile on her face, "You are the mother of the house, and the mother of the four girls, so naturally you can call the shots in this matter." ”

After the clear road, the implementation will be very fast.

Xie Songhua only moved to Yanchuntai on the front foot, and Liang's mother on the back foot brought someone to move things over, and also sent a few people to call.

Fortunately, Aunt Lan was there, helping to command the manpower, and after a day's work, she settled everything, and also set up an incense case in the northeast corner of the courtyard, and set up a small incense case according to the instructions of the spiritual master before, and completed the 49-day ceremony.

There were a lot of people coming and going, and the courtyard that originally looked empty immediately had some vitality.

According to the rules of the Xie family, the girls are a nursing mother, two first-class maids, two second-class maids, and a few little maids and two mothers-in-law who sprinkle and sweep.

Milk Mama Xie Songhua didn't, Aunt Lan took this shortage.

The two first-class maids arranged by the Qi family, one white peony and one cloves, were both sixteen or seventeen years old.

A peach of the second class, a green willow.

The third-class girls are all little girls who are just in their early tens, and they all look a little timid in their speech.

The original owner came to Xie Mansion alone, and there was no reliable person in front of him.

Even though the Qi family is theoretically Xie Songhua's mother-in-law, after such a thing happened, Xie Songhua naturally did not dare to trust it completely.

is an Aunt Lan, who is also Xie Yuncang's person in the end, and the relationship between the two is still short, at most it is just a friend of interests.

Alas, Xie Songhua looked at the things listed on his paper, and now he has very few things in his hands, and it is really a long way to go if he wants to gain a foothold in the Xie family.

"Are you literate?"

Yu Ruzhuo's voice appeared again out of nowhere, Xie Songhua opened a piece of paper he had recorded earlier, and confirmed his guess, "You can't appear in the ring all the time, can you?" ”

Although she was asking, her tone was very affirmative.

Xie Songhua didn't take a charcoal pen to record things on the first day, but Yu Ruzhuo only asked this question today, which was already a flaw.

And a few days ago, she obviously felt that although this person had a cold personality, he was not an arrogant and rude person in his speech, but several times, he suddenly lost his voice, and the ring seemed to have suddenly become a dead thing.

Hearing her ask, Yu Ruzhuo hesitated for a moment before finally answering, "In the ring." ”

"That ......"

"It's just that I can't see or hear, and my perception is weak."

In other words, his soul was trapped inside the ring.

"Is there any pattern to that?"

He didn't hide it at all, "I'm still looking." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, Xie Songhua thought about it, and was just about to ask him about some customs of these people in the capital, when he heard him say, "Someone is coming." ”

Before the words fell, I heard footsteps, "Why is there no one waiting in front of the girl?" ”

But it was Bai Peony who came in with tea.

She walked over with a smile, her eyes seemed to skim over the rice paper on the case as if she had unintentionally, and put down the tea for Xie Songhua, "You just seem to hear the girl talking?" But what are the commands? ”

Xie Songhua suddenly didn't like this girl very much, but it was too obvious.

"A habit I have developed since I was a child, and I like to talk to myself." Xie Songhua said, and before she could speak, he commanded again, "When I stay in the western room on weekdays, I don't like people around me, if you pass on this rule, I will call you if there is something." ”

When Bai Shao heard this, she hurriedly apologized to Xie Songhua, and then said: "The girl is not the same as before, people like ours, if the girl doesn't even have someone to serve in front of her, it will make people laugh, and turn around and tell the housewife to know, not to say that the girl is not used to it, but to say that those of us who serve are lazy." ”

With a smile on his face, he stood beside him with his hands down but didn't move a single step.

Xie Songhua immediately frowned, "What?" I can't make a rule in my own house? ”

Who knew that Bai Shao was not afraid at all, and still had a decent smile on her face, "Since the wife sent the slave maid to serve the girl, the slave maid has the responsibility to admonish the girl. ”

"Joke?! I don't know which girl has to be watched by someone! ”

Bai Shao still smiled and groaned, "If the girl thinks that the slave and maid are not serving well, then she will go back to the wife, no matter who comes to replace it, the rules are the rules!" ”

She had a frank face, as if she was really for Xie Songhua.

And Xie Songhua has no doubt that if she really says it, the Qi family can really change the soup and change it for her.

"That's okay, then I'll go squint for a while!"

"Then I'll wait for the girl to rest."

It actually means to never leave an inch.

Xie Songhua was so angry that he fell down, and when he got to the bed and put down the bed tent, he immediately couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Is she telling the truth?" ”
