Chapter 157: Inquiry
Seeing that Xie Zhiyun was still leaving, Xiao Peng's steward said: "The little one will go and inform me first, let Ruan Niangzi prepare and come over to see the young lady in advance." ”
Xie Zhiyun felt that this little Peng steward was a little too diligent.
However, it didn't stand out, she glanced at the little bell behind her and nodded to him.
Xiao Zhong said: "Manager Peng, you don't need to be busy." ”
Steward Xiao Peng smiled awkwardly, and then retreated.
When she left, Xie Zhiyun said, "I really didn't see him last time." ”
Xiao Zhong said: "Madam, you wait here for a while, and the little one will go and talk to Captain Feng first, and let him pay attention to vigilance." ”
Xiao Zhong was still very sharp, and Xie Zhiyun nodded: "Go and go back quickly." ”
Chaoyu was a little nervous in an instant, stood here with her, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Xie Zhiyun thought for a while and said in a low voice: "It's been an eventful time recently, so you still have to be cautious, but there is nothing special to pay attention to." ”
Xiao Zhong walked quickly, but he came back in a moment.
Zhuangzi is too big, even if there is a fence, it doesn't have much effect, so Captain Feng can't guard the door at all, he disperses the soldiers who came with him and lets them be on guard everywhere.
Xie Zhiyun still remembered Ruan Niangzi's residence, and she led the two of them to Ruan Niangzi's bedroom soon.
Chao Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and waited for a while before Ruan Niangzi came over to open the door.
She was pale, her hair was disheveled, and she wore only a short blouse, and it was clear that she had been resting.
"Young lady?" Ruan Niangzi's eyes widened as soon as she saw the person coming outside the door.
Xie Zhiyun frowned: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Ruan Niangzi took half a step back, opened the door, and said a little shyly: "Young lady, the slave is too messy here, please forgive me." ”
Xie Zhiyun didn't care, she led Chaoyu into the house and let Xiao Zhong stay outside.
Ruan Niangzi's house is actually not messy, but she got up in a hurry, and the bedding was still rolled, so it was not so neat.
Xie Zhiyun saw that she had a sick face, so he said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”
"Are you sick?"
Ruan Niangzi lowered her head and touched her forehead, feeling better, before sighing helplessly.
"Recently, the slave maid is particularly unlucky, since the last time the lady left, the slave and maid have not done anything well, go to the field can scratch their legs, see the ground can fall into the pond, yesterday I went to the fish pond to stare at them to catch fish food, I don't know what happened, fell into the fish pond."
Ruan Niangzi spoke in a thick nasal voice, obviously suffering from a cold.
"In just a few days, the slave and maid fell into the water twice, and the wound on the leg became inflamed again, so the wind was cold and feverish, and the chief steward let the slave and maid rest."
That sounds really miserable.
"If you haven't been well, you still have to call the doctor to take a look, you can't be sloppy when you're sick."
Xie Zhiyun was also a little worried: "Don't hold on, just rest well these days and take medicine well." ”
Ruan Niangzi was a little moved: "Thank you young lady, the big steward treats us very well, young lady can rest assured." ”
"Well, the chief steward is very good."
When Xie Zhiyun said this, he saw that the short shirts she put on the side of the futon were all plain, and there was no embroidery, and her clothes were very plain.
The shoes she wore were just ordinary cloth shoes, not embroidered, and not the pair in her dreams.
Xie Zhiyun looked around quickly, then looked at Ruan Niangzi and asked, "Is there a steward surnamed Peng on Zhuangzi?" ”
Ruan Niangzi was stunned, and seemed a little awkward: "The young lady is asking Peng Ertou, right?" ”
"He is a person from Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi who came last year, was originally a homeless person, and then the chief steward saw that he was down-to-earth and literate, so he kept him."
She has always been neat, and Xie Zhiyun was also very crisp when she saw her last time, why was she twisted now?
Xie Zhiyun was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with him?" ”
Ruan Niangzi thought about it, and saw that Xie Zhiyun cared so much, so she whispered: "He is...... It's not bad for slaves. ”
If it was before, Xie Zhiyun would have to think about it to understand, but now that she has experience, she can figure it out all at once.
"You mean, he adores you?"
Ruan Niangzi nodded, but there was no shy look on her face, she was just a little awkward.
"Yes, about two months ago, he suddenly began to please the slave and maid, occasionally giving the slave and maid things, and taking the slave and maid out to play, and the slave and maid had no idea about him, so he did not agree."
"But he is a bit stubborn, always in his own way to please the slave maid, this time I fell into the water and got sick, he also came to see the slave and maid several times, and brought porridge to the slave and maid."
Ruan Niangzi was very distressed when she saw it.
Her parents have died, she has no relatives at home, and she has no brothers and sisters, and she is alone in Zhuangzi.
Regarding the matter of Steward Peng, she has no one to confide in, so she can only hold it in her heart.
Today, Xie Zhiyun saw that she was sick and weak again, so she naturally couldn't help but say a few more words.
I'm embarrassed after saying that.
"Young lady, the slave is verbose, what are you looking for the slave and maid?"
Xie Zhiyun shook her head, and she said seriously: "Ruan Niangzi, it's okay, if you think that Steward Peng has caused you trouble, I will talk to the chief steward and let the chief steward persuade him, or transfer one of you to the Zhuangzi in the south, and after a long time of separation, it will be fine." ”
Ruan Niangzi was really moved.
There were tears in her eyes, and she said, "Thank you, Mrs. Shao, I am willing to go to Zhuangzi in the south." ”
Xie Zhiyun nodded.
She first said a superficial meaning, and then said: "I want to see what kind of shoes are made by the stewards, family members, and other female tenants in the Zhuangzi, and if they can be allowed to take out their best shoes, I will see the patterns." ”
Xie Zhiyun didn't say the reason this time, and she couldn't make it up, so she could only say this strange request with a serious face.
Ruan Niangzi was stunned, and then said: "The young lady can take a look at the slave's shoes first, and then the slave will accompany you to see Liu Niangzi, she is an old man in Zhuangzi, she knows a lot of people, and she will do things." ”
When Ruan Niangzi took out all the shoes, Xie Zhiyun took a rough look and saw that there were no embroidered shoes of the same style, so she said, "I wrote it down." ”
"You rest, I remember the way to the waterwheel, just go by yourself."
Ruan Niangzi said strangely: "Why did Madame go to the waterwheel?" In recent days, the radishes and sweet potatoes have ripened, and Mrs. Liu is leading people to be busy in the vegetable field. ”
Xie Zhiyun frowned, she got up and asked, "What is the big housekeeper busy with?" ”
Ruan Niangzi thought for a moment before saying, "The big housekeeper should have been to the waterwheel today, but at this time, he should have come back from the waterwheel." ”
Xie Zhiyun narrowed his eyes: "I know." ”
