Chapter 148
⒈
Without the pain imagined, Lin Xiaoran opened her eyes and saw that the pillar was indeed in front of her.
But when I bumped into it again, I found that the pillar was actually soft.
She looked at everything in front of her in despair, and sat down on the ground depressed.
[Continued world-weary mood, the system will punish you as follows: deduct 10 taels from the host’s purse, and earn one point]
Lin Xiaoran quickly raised her hand, "Okay, I don't want to die anymore, don't deduct my money anymore."
The red alert in the system was lifted, and now Lin Xiaoran is gnashing her teeth with hatred.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoran lay on the bed, and the system chattered about a bunch of precautions, but she didn't listen very carefully.
My mind is full of how to attack Xiao Yi.
In the original book, I was killed by Xiao Yi, maybe because of this reason, every time I get close to Xiao Yi, as long as he has murderous intentions towards others, I will feel a strong sense of oppression.
This person is too difficult to guess, and too difficult to understand.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoran slapped herself hard, blaming her for always reading the novels in general, and never carefully read the details inside, and she even didn't finish reading this book.
When Xiao Yi left today, he said he thought highly of himself.
Isn't this just being harmed by the system?
For a while, he let himself push Xiao Yi to punish Liu Rumeng, and for a while, he let himself think of a way to save her.
"Hey..." Lin Xiaoran's brain hurts thinking about this.
"Miss, hurry up and eat. Today's stew is the pheasant that Qiao's mother and grandpa caught on the mountain. It is very tender. Come and taste it."
Nanzhu was holding the tray, and she was very careful with every step she took, for fear of spilling the vegetables in the small pot.
She put the small casserole on the table, and hurriedly scratched her earlobe when it was hot.
"Miss, eat it while it's hot. Mother Qiao has cooked a lot of your favorite dishes. She knows that you have been wronged in the front hall again, and she wants to make up for you."
Lin Xiaoran quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes, walked to the round table and lowered her head to smell it, it really smelled good.
She looked at Nan Zhu who ran out, feeling warm in her heart.
Nanzhu was one year younger than herself, and was sold to their home by Ren Yazi when she was five years old, and she has been with her until now.
She has been bullied by Aunt Liu all these years. It looks like there are many people in this yard, but in fact, few of them are working sincerely. Except for Nanzhu and Mother Qiao who follow her sincerely, let alone treat her as their master in private, no Arrangement is just fine.
After taking a bite of the chicken, Lin Xiaoran's blood returned slightly, and she decided to go to Lin Shunze to change a group of people in her yard after finishing the meal.
Nanzhu ran back and forth, from the small kitchen to here, back and forth seven or eight times, and finally all the dishes on the table were served.
Mapo tofu, stir-fried shredded radish, and sweet and sour meatballs are Lin Xiaoran's favorite food.
Finally, the scallop chicken porridge in the casserole is the finishing touch, and it is still bubbling when the lid is lifted.
"Where did Mother Qiao get the money to buy scallops?"
Lin Xiaoran took the porridge from Nan Zhu and asked.
Nanzhu stood by the table and helped Lin Xiaoran prepare the dishes. She looked at the servants in the yard and said, "Mother Qiao said that the people ordered by Aunt Liu sent them here today. There are also scallops, shark's fins, and fish maw. Mother Qiao was shocked." Jump, saying that Aunt Liu was afraid that she might have lost her mind, so she brought all the Bazhen Guan from the East Street, and gave away a lot of them, saying it was to make you healthy, but I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."
Lin Xiaoran took a sip of porridge, squinted her eyes and thought for a while, it seemed that Lin Shunze had explained something to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu was frightened today, and now is a good time, the Yu Wei who called Xiao Yi and Lin Shunze are still there, Lin Xiaoran decided to give her yard a big change.
⑵
Just do it.
After Lin Xiaoran had dinner, she took a casual rest and went to the front hall with Nanzhu.
Lin Shunze and Liu Rumeng usually eat later than their small courtyard, and now they used to drink tea and chat after meals.
Sure enough, when Lin Xiaoran arrived at the front hall, Lin Shunze was sitting in the main seat drinking tea.
Lin Xiaoyao stood aside respectfully and rubbed Lin Shunze's shoulders.
Because Liu Rumeng was injured, she could only sit on the other chair.
If this was normal, she would either lean against Lin Shunze and act like a baby, or peel apples for him, or peel oranges for him.
Seeing Lin Xiaoran standing at the door, Lin Shunze smiled and waved to her: "Has Xiaoran had dinner yet?"
Lin Xiaoran saluted, and said obediently: "I have used it. Tonight, the small kitchen made a lot of dishes that I have never seen before. Mother Qiao said that the ingredients were brought by Aunt Liu. I am coming to thank Auntie."
"Oh? What dish has Miss Lin's family never eaten before?"
Lin Xiaoran deliberately pretended not to remember clearly, then turned to Nanzhu and asked, "Nanzhu, what are those called?"
Nanzhu met Lin Xiaoran's eyes, and said clearly: "Miss Hui, scallops, scallops, and shark's fin are all from the Eight Treasures Museum on the East Street, and they are all first-class."
Hearing what Nanzhu said, Lin Shunze felt a little displeased.
Ever since Lin Xiaoran's mother passed away, Aunt Liu asked her to eat in the small kitchen in her yard on the grounds that it was not easy for children to eat with adults.
In addition to deducting her monthly money, she even ate ordinary cabbage and tofu.
It was because of this that Lin Xiaoran, who had traveled through time, subconsciously wanted to eat meat.
From time to time, Liu Rumeng would talk to Lin Shunze about what Lin Xiaoran ate and did.
Hearing this just now, my daughter has never even eaten scallops or scallops. Before that, Liu Rumeng said that Lin Xiaoran was extravagant and wasteful, what happened to the big fish and meat every day.
Lin Xiaoran was stupid before, so he didn't say anything, but now this daughter is a noble person, so she can't be treated badly.
Lin Shunze looked at Liu Rumeng, who bowed his head and said nothing, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't the money allocated every month before just to buy these? Why did Xiaoran say she hadn't seen it?"
Before Liu Rumeng could speak, Lin Xiaoran said, "Has Daddy bought these for your daughter before?"
"Of course, you sisters have the same food and clothing. Yaoyao and Xiaoqian have these in their breakfast porridge every day. Why don't you have them?"
You said why not, it's not that you, baby Menger, are greedy.
Lin Xiaoran went back angrily in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
She thought that the purpose of today was to apply for a replacement. Now that the matter has reached this point, she just went along with it.
"Daddy, my daughter has something to say, but she doesn't know whether to say it or not."
Lin Xiaoran pursed her lips, and secretly glanced at the pale Liu Rumeng.
Lin Shunze followed Lin Xiaoran's line of sight, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes and said: "There is nothing you can't say, you can say whatever you want today."
Hearing what Lin Shunze said, Lin Xiaoran moved to Liu Rumeng's side, leaned over and asked, "Aunt Liu, can I really say that?"
Liu Rumeng looked up at Lin Xiaoran, swallowed nervously, and stammered: "You can say what you want, my aunt also wants to know, obviously I send these ingredients to your yard every month, why did you say it today? Say so in front of the master."
"That's right! Why haven't I seen it? Could it be that it was stolen by someone?"
Lin Xiaoran moved closer to Liu Rumeng and said something.
Liu Rumeng was really exhausted today, and the wound was still hurting, so she had long since lost her fighting spirit.
"How do I know who stole it!"
⑶
Lin Xiaoran slapped her hands suddenly.
It frightened Liu Rumeng to bounce on the chair.
"Daddy, this person is..."
Lin Xiaoran deliberately said loudly in front of Liu Rumeng, but she just didn't finish.
Liu Rumeng held her breath, her uninjured hand tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, the owner who could see the hand was exerting so much force that even the few blue blood vessels on the back of the hand could be seen clearly.
"It's the servants in my yard!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Rumeng turned his head away and let out a long breath.
Lin Shunze obviously did not expect such a result, and said, "Those servants have been with you for five or six years, why do you only realize that they have a problem now?"
"Back to my father, my daughter has always thought about it before. I was sitting in the house just now, watching Nanzhu serve me food one after another. None of the servants in the courtyard helped me. Then I thought about how they treated me before. Not much respect."
This Lin Shunze could think that the daughter who was stupid before became much smarter after being injured this time.
"Go on."
Lin Xiaoran took two steps forward and continued: "Usually these ingredients are taken by the servants in the yard, but this time he has diarrhea, and Qiao's mother asked Qiaoqiao to get them. Who knew that he would bring back such a pile of things. It really freaked her out."
"This one who received a thousand knives, in the past, I only asked him to deliver ingredients because he was honest. Xiao Ran, my aunt never thought that he could do such a thing."
After listening to Lin Xiaoran's words, Liu Rumeng guessed her intentions. Since she wasn't going to expose her, of course she had to find a way for her to step down.
"Then ask my aunt to make the decision for me, and replace all the servants who ignore the master."
Lin Shunze cleared his throat, looked at the aggrieved daughter in the hall, and said softly: "Since Xiao Ran is not satisfied with the servants in the yard, then change another batch. Your aunt still has injuries on her hands, wait a few days When she recovers, find out who is greedy for those precious ingredients, and then find Ren Yazi to replace you with a batch of servants."
"Yes, I will find some servants in a few days, and I will definitely not have these dog slaves who eat inside and outside and commit crimes above."
Liu Rumeng scrambled to do this, but Lin Xiaoran couldn't do what she wanted.
"Father, don't bother Auntie, just let her recover from her injuries. My daughter is about to grow up now, and she needs to learn how to manage servants. Mother Qiao knows a lot of reliable matchmakers. After her daughter has dealt with those unsightly things in the yard For a servant who is loyal to the master, let Qiao's mother choose a servant."
Hearing what his daughter said, Lin Shunze was relieved, Qiao Siniang was Lin Xiaoran's dead mother's personal maid, and Lin Xiaoran must have the same heart.
After thinking everything over, Lin Shunze agreed to Lin Xiaoran's request.
Liu Rumeng watched the father and daughter singing together, and didn't intend to ask for his opinion at all, so he could only shut his mouth in embarrassment.
After cleaning up Liu Rumeng's eyeliner in the courtyard, Lin Xiaoran felt that the courtyard looked much more pleasing to the eye.
She was in a good mood that night, and redrawn all the blueprints for Madam Hou's Mansion, and made improvements in some places, thinking that she would have points that could be exchanged for items in the item bar.
Qiao's mother was very quick in handling things, so she asked Ren Yazi to select a group of servants and send them over the next day.
Among them was a man named Duofu, who was big and thick, and was said to be able to work like a three-legged cat.
He spoke honestly and honestly, and Lin Xiaoran fell in love with him immediately. With such a person staying in the yard, he would sleep more comfortably.
There are also Sanmao and Wukui, both of whom seem to have a lot of strength.
Qiao's mother saw that Lin Xiaoran's way of choosing a candidate was gradually going astray, and hurried up to stop him.
"Miss, what do you want so many rough people for?"
⑷
Lin Xiaoran leaned close to Qiao's mother's ear and whispered: "These people can still help me build a car in the future. The most important thing is, with such a row of strong men standing at the gate of the courtyard, Liu Rumeng will not dare to look for trouble again."
Mother Qiao hesitated and stood aside, but she still felt that it was inappropriate for a girl who had not left the cabinet to keep so many men in the courtyard, and it caused people to gossip for no reason.
In the follow-up selection, Mother Qiao almost took the lead. Lin Xiaoran knew what Mother Qiao meant, so she let her go.
In the end, except Duofu, Sanmao and Wukui were all sent to the outer courtyard by Qiao's mother.
I went to see the stables.
Duo Fu is usually fine, and Qiao's mother doesn't let him stay in the inner courtyard, so the new carefree A-Ding becomes the mouthpiece of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard.
After a few days, Lin Xiaoran finally finished the interior of Mrs. Hou's carriage. She put all the things in the carriage with great interest, and took Duofu and Wukui to Hou's residence together.
That day, after Xiao Yi left, the two never saw each other again.
Lin Xiaoran was a little apprehensive along the way, looking at the numbers behind the strategy index in the system, she felt overwhelmed.
When they arrived at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, Duofu went to the gate to report. This time, it was probably because Lin Xiaoran came to look for Mrs. Hou's Mansion, so no one stopped them and let their carriage go sideways and enter the courtyard.
The servants took Lin Xiaoran to a side hall in the main courtyard, and asked her to wait for a good tea.
As soon as the servants left, Lin Xiaoran saw Xiao Yi and Lu Li who were about to go out.
She enthusiastically walked out of the side hall, jumped up and greeted Xiao Yi and said, "Morning, Young Master!"
Xiao Yi turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoran, without the slightest expression, and turned his head back again.
"Miss Lin, it's almost noon now, tell me it's too late."
Lin Xiaoran gave a "tsk", secretly cursing that Xiao Yi was really picky.
But for the sake of the Raiders index, she still rushed over.
"Where are you going, little lord?"
Seeing that Xiao Yi didn't intend to talk to her, Lin Xiaoran walked around to Xiao Yi's other side and said, "Young Lord, today's clothes are too suitable for you, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and a good figure!"
As she spoke, Lin Xiaoran didn't forget to clap her hands.
Nanzhu saw that her young lady said it was hard work by herself, so she also clapped her hands in agreement.
Even Lu Li, who was usually expressionless, nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yi looked at these three people and said speechlessly, "What are you doing here today?"
Lin Xiaoran took a pillow that she sewed from the interior of the RV in the hands of the servants behind her like a treasure, and said, "I'm here to give these to my wife, and they are all made according to the drawings. Look at this pillow, it's more comfortable than the one in your RV. , is the newly picked cotton this year, and this satin, does it feel very comfortable to you?"
Xiao Yi didn't bother to answer, he raised his hand to touch it casually, then withdrew it.
"is not it?"
Lin Xiaoran continued to ask.
Xiao Yi replied impatiently: "That's all you have, don't use your brain when it comes to business."
Knowing that he was talking about that day again, Lin Xiaoran suppressed the anger of being scolded in her heart, and lowered her head pretending to be pitiful: "I was frightened that day, and if you really want to kill Aunt Liu at my house, Beijing will tell you Gossip and gossip.”
Xiao Yi chuckled, then turned to look at Lin Xiaoran, "What do you mean, I still have to thank you well today?"
Lin Xiaoran hurriedly raised her hands, both of her hands were ready to shake.
"No, no, no! I didn't mean that, I just... I just... I just lost my mind in that incoherent Japanese. If you give me another chance, I definitely won't do that."
Seeing Lin Xiaoran's anxious look, Xiao Yi sighed softly.
[Congratulations to the host!The progress of the strategy has changed, the strategy index: -62]
"You said no, and he said no, did this bowl of porridge fly into Cui Rui's hands for no reason?"
There was no trace of emotion in Xiao Yi's voice, but it was enough to make the people in the hall terrified.
Lin Xiaoran knew that going on like this was not an option, Xiaochan would never admit what she had done.
She looked at the reading memory card in the inventory, and suddenly had an idea. She didn't know whether this reading memory card could read the memory of one person or the memories of multiple people.
So she tried to click on this card, and quietly approached Xiaochan while everyone was not paying attention.
Then the memory in Lin Xiaoran's mind was broken up and reshaped.Memories that did not belong to her entered her mind one after another.
The memory of Xiao Chan who was at the side was extracted, and she was so dazed that she almost fell to the ground.
"Xiaochan, are you alright?" Rong Zhi asked in a low voice after helping Xiaochan.
Xiaochan waved her hand and said, "Sister Rongzhi, I'm fine, maybe I haven't had enough sleep recently, so I'm a little dizzy, it's okay."
Here Lin Xiaoran read Xiaochan's memory, and a familiar face appeared in her mind, so she unconsciously turned her head to look at the cooks behind her.
His gaze directly locked on the one in Xiaochan's memory.This person is Li Tang, the newcomer to Mrs. Xiao's small kitchen.
Li Tang was transferred from the kitchen in the outer courtyard only last month.
It doesn't matter if a person looks like a mouse.Still a daring one.
He saw that Xiaochan approached him deliberately, so he often stole some uncommon food that Mrs. Xiao had eaten or leftovers to please Xiaochan.
Xiao Chan also accidentally heard about Cui Rui's problem a few years ago, so she heard that there was crab meat in the bowl of porridge, so she gave it to Cui Rui.
Man is locked, now just make him tell the truth.The task will be completed.Just how can you tell the truth?
Lin Xiaoran looked up at Xiao Yi who was sitting there drinking tea.I thought how I could get some money from him, so that the points I bought could be exchanged for the mantra card.
Seeing Lin Xiaoran looking at him, Xiao Yi frowned.
"Cuirui, do you have something to say?"
Lin Xiaoran gritted her teeth and said to Xiao Yi: "Master Xiaohou, this servant knows who gave the bowl of porridge to Sister Xiaochan, can I tell you alone?"
After speaking, Lin Xiaoran glanced at Mrs. Xiao again, and said, "Madam, please give this servant a chance. Nubi will definitely let this person stand up on his own."
In Xiao Chan's memory, she promised Li Tang that when she was old, she would beg his wife to marry him.
The maids in the Hou's mansion usually marry the servants in the mansion, and Li Tang also agreed to Xiao Chan's request because of this.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Yi, and the two made a decision when their eyes met.
Xiao Yi stood up and gave Lin Xiaoran a wink.
Lin Xiaoran got up quickly and followed him out.
The two stood beside the big tree in the courtyard. The people in the hall could see them clearly, but they couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Lin Xiaoran said in a low voice, "Young Master, it is Li Tang who gave Xiaochan porridge."
"Oh, why should you know?"
"The slave has met before. Sister Xiaochan is very close to this Li Tang. Before that, Li Tang would often bring some cakes and unusual food to Sister Xiaochan from the wife's yard."
"Then this is not enough to prove that the bowl of porridge was given to Xiao Chan by Li Tang."
Lin Xiaoran had expected that Xiao Yi would not believe him so easily, so she could only speak with a cheeky face.
"Young Master, can you lend me 6 taels of silver?"
Xiao Yi frowned, "6 taels? What do you want money for?"
"Young Master, can you just lend me an afternoon? This will help clear my innocence. After dinner tonight, I will definitely return it to you."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi said: "Okay, I'd like to see it. How can this money repay your innocence."
Xiao Yi turned his head to wink at Lu Li, and Lu Li walked out of the courtyard.
Not long after, Lu Li walked into the courtyard with a wooden box.
"Give it to her." Xiao Yi said.
Lin Xiaoran took the box happily, and the moment the box arrived, 6 taels were added to the system immediately.
Lin Xiaoran redeemed the points, and then bought the mantra card.
Following Xiao Yi back to the front hall, Lin Xiaoran's complexion was obviously much better than when he left, and Xiao Chan's eyes also darkened after seeing Lin Xiaoran's face.
Lin Xiaoran returned to her previous position, and used the mantra card on Xiaochan beside her, but the system immediately rejected her request
[System warning.The Mantra card cannot be used on the task object. 】
Unexpectedly, it would be such a result, Lin Xiaoran could only settle for the next best thing, and set her sights on Li Tang.
Li Tang felt guilty at first, and when he saw Lin Xiaoran looking at him like this, he backed away unconsciously.
Lin Xiaoran bowed to Madam Xiao and said, "Madam, I remember that Li Tang and Sister Xiaochan are the best friends, can I ask him a few words?"
Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "Go."
Walking into Li Tang's side, Lin Xiaoran immediately used the card towards him.
Li Tang raised his hand to cover his mouth as if he couldn't help but want to speak.
This move obviously made everyone present doubt him.
Before Lin Xiaoran could speak, Xiao Yi spoke.
"Li Tang, what are you doing?"
Li Tang pursed his lips and kept shaking his head.
This action of his made Xiao Chan nervous.
Xiao Yi raised his hand and gestured to Lu Li who was behind him. Lu Li walked over to Li Tang without saying a word, and tried to break his mouth.
"Forgive me! Little Marquis, forgive me!"
Xiao Yi took a sip of tea and slowly put down the cup.
"Oh? Forgive me, I don't know what crime you have committed?"
"Small one, the small one is because the ghost is obsessed and wants to please Xiao Chan, so he gave Xiao Chan the porridge that my wife finished that night. Who knew it would hurt Miss Cui Rui."
Xiaochan stared at Li Tang with wide eyes.
Obviously everyone agreed before coming here, so I won't tell this matter.
What happened to Li Tang?Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?
Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Chan who was at the side again, and Xiao Chan waved her hands again and again and said, "I don't know."
Obviously, everyone didn't quite believe what Xiao Chan said.
Xiaochan hurriedly turned around and kowtowed, crying to the little lady.
"Madam Li Tang is trying to frame the servant, the servant has never taken any crab porridge, the servant has not."
Seeing that Xiao Chan had actually given up on him, Li Tang simply let go and stopped hiding.
He took out a purse from his waist and said: "If you go back to Madam, this is Xiaochan's token of love for your servant. He said that Madam will find someone for him to marry when the girl in the Hou Mansion is old. The first consideration is The servants in the Hou's mansion also said that they would intercede for the slave when the time came, and the slave had already regarded her as his daughter-in-law, so he often stole some food from the kitchen that you ate or didn't eat, and gave him rare food. "
Hearing this, Xiaochan raised her finger nervously at Li Tang, and shouted anxiously, "Li Tang, you are spitting blood."
Hearing such accusations, Li Tang was also very angry.
He raised his hand and presented the purse to Mrs. Xiao.
"Ma'am, Xiao Chan's time in the house is not long. If you don't believe the servant, you can look at the embroiderer on the purse."
"Xiao Chan, there is a characteristic of embroidery work, that is, when the embroidery is finished, he will leave a small spot in an inconspicuous place."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Rong Zhi who was on the side.
Rong Zhi bowed his head and replied to Mrs. Xiao's words: "Xiao Chan does have this habit."
"Xiao Chan, what else do you want to say?"
Xiaochan fell to the ground with her buttocks tilted, he did not expect such a result.
"The servant has nothing to say, but feels that Madam is doing things unfairly."
Xiao Qian uttered wild words, and everyone in the hall broke into a cold sweat for him.
"Xiaochan, what nonsense are you talking about? Since when did Madam act unfairly?"
Rong Zhikan and Xiao Chan entered the mansion together, so some of her usual habits Rong Zhi could not understand.But at the critical moment, I still don't want him to destroy his future.
"Hmph, of course you don't think Madam is doing things unfairly. I'll go into the mansion with you. I'm obviously better than you in terms of embroidery and brains, but Madam chose you and asked me to clean the front yard. I finally made it to the little marquis’s courtyard. I thought I should be the most qualified to be the big maid in the Hou’s mansion, but I didn’t expect my wife to choose Cui, who had just entered the mansion. Rui. Do you think this is fair? Compared with you, how far am I inferior?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao smiled coldly and said: "Do you want to know where you are? You are too scheming, you are too resentful, and you are vicious. You will arrive at the Hou Mansion soon." Over the past 13 years, everyone has seen what you did as a servant of the Hou Mansion. I think you grew up in the Hou Mansion and didn’t want to criticize you too much. I didn’t expect you to make your idea in Yi’er’s yard.”
Mrs. Xiao paused, and continued: "I asked the mother-in-law in Zhuangzi. You told them that Cui Rui is a symptom of the epidemic, right? You told them. You don't need to be rescued if you are too serious, right?"
Lin Xiaoran finally understood when she heard this, it turned out that even if she was not present today, Mrs. Xiao knew everything.
After hearing what the little lady said, Xiao Chan burst out laughing.
"It turns out that you all know everything, um, then I am really lucky to have the wife of the Hou's mansion and the young master come to act for me."
Xiao Yi didn't want to hear more from him, so he said in a deep voice, "Lu Li pulls him down."
Lu Li swiftly went to the center of the hall, grabbed Xiao Chan by the back of her neck and dragged her out.
Xiaochan had seen Lu Li kill people before, and thinking of those bloody scenes, she was afraid again.
She thumped her legs and shouted: "Madam, please spare! Madam, please spare me! This slave is just delusional, and she was a little angry for a while, but Cui Rui is fine now, I beg my wife and the young master to let this servant go!" "
Mrs. Xiao did not change her face, she was not moved by Xiaochan's plea.
He just said coldly: "When you framed Cui Rui, did you ever think that she was innocent. Now that she has come back safe and sound, who would know if she died in the wilderness? Who would know?" To collect her body?"
After hearing Mrs. Xiao's words, Lin Xiaoran was very happy for Cui Rui.
She will definitely tell Cui Rui what she said today.
After all the dust settled, everyone retreated, only Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Yi and Lin Xiaoran were left in the audience.
"Cuirui, now you can tell me what's going on."
Lin Xiaoran was a little confused, and after thinking about everything she had done back in the mansion, it seemed that there was nothing revealing, so she knelt down again.Said: "Returning to Madam, the maidservant has already explained to Sister Rongzhi what happened from the beginning to the end, and the young master also knows about it. There is really nothing else."
Mrs. Xiao should just scare her.Seeing that she is indeed very sincere.So he turned to look at Xiao Yi.
"Yi'er, you are not too young now. The young masters of all the prefectures, at your age, have adopted the girls in their yards to be the housekeeper. Cuirui has been with you for a few years. You take her to be the housekeeper. , and save someone from coveting the position of the big maid in your yard.
Xiao Yi was not very surprised.
"Mother and child don't have the idea of opening a room for the time being. Let's talk about it later."
"Then it's up to you."
The conversation between the mother and son was like a process, and it was nothing.
……
Lin Xiaoran followed Xiao Yi back to the yard.
"Tonight, I will make the spicy chicken that I made last night again."
Lin Xiaoran nodded.
Xiao Yi took another two steps and turned back to Lin Xiaoran and said, "Remember what you said, return the 6 taels to me when I come back at night."
Lin Xiaoran kicked the stones under her feet.Oh let out a cry.Then he felt something was wrong, bowed his body, and said "yes".
The only way to get money right now is to ask Duofu to go to the shop to think of a way when he meets Duofu in the afternoon.
Xiao Yi didn't eat at the mansion at noon, Lin Xiaoran was happy to be at leisure, she slept soundly, and woke up at the time agreed with Duofu.
She walked to the back door with her hands and feet, and found that the old man who was always squinting opened his eyes this time, and greeted her with a smile.
"Miss Cui Rui is going out?"
Lin Xiaoran hurriedly said: "Yes! I want to go out and buy some condiments. The young master wants to eat spicy chicken tonight, but the kitchen's dry chili is gone."
The uncle smiled, waved to him and said, go and come back quickly.
Lin Xiaoran nodded, opened the door and walked out.
When she went out, she lowered her head, clicked on the system and turned off the Yirong card.
……
Duofu became more and more cautious in doing things. When she saw Lin Xiaoran coming out, she didn't rush forward to say hello, but went straight to the entrance of the alley.
The two met in front of a stall selling buns.
Lin Xiaoran whispered to Duofu, "How are those RVs doing?"
Duofu thought for a while and said: "It's almost the same, the prime minister's wife's car is short of wheels."
"I think the wheels are already done."
Duofu nodded: "Yes, you can hand in the work after installing it."
As soon as Lin Xiaoran regained her energy, she hurriedly said to Duofu: "You should go back quickly and send the prime minister's wife's car to her. Remember, you must be quick, and you must collect the balance before dinner and enter the account. I heard that." ?"
Duofu scratched his head and said, "But..."
"You said no, and he said no, did this bowl of porridge fly into Cui Rui's hands for no reason?"
There was no trace of emotion in Xiao Yi's voice, but it was enough to make the people in the hall terrified.
Lin Xiaoran knew that going on like this was not an option, Xiaochan would never admit what she had done.
She looked at the reading memory card in the inventory, and suddenly had an idea. She didn't know whether this reading memory card could read the memory of one person or the memories of multiple people.
So she tried to click on this card, and quietly approached Xiaochan while everyone was not paying attention.
Then the memory in Lin Xiaoran's mind was broken up and reshaped.Memories that did not belong to her entered her mind one after another.
The memory of Xiao Chan who was at the side was extracted, and she was so dazed that she almost fell to the ground.
"Xiaochan, are you alright?" Rong Zhi asked in a low voice after helping Xiaochan.
Xiaochan waved her hand and said, "Sister Rongzhi, I'm fine, maybe I haven't had enough sleep recently, so I'm a little dizzy, it's okay."
Here Lin Xiaoran read Xiaochan's memory, and a familiar face appeared in her mind, so she unconsciously turned her head to look at the cooks behind her.
His gaze directly locked on the one in Xiaochan's memory.This person is Li Tang, the newcomer to Mrs. Xiao's small kitchen.

Man is locked, now just make him tell the truth.The task will be completed.Just how can you tell the truth?
Lin Xiaoran looked up at Xiao Yi who was sitting there drinking tea.I thought how I could get some money from him, so that the points I bought could be exchanged for the mantra card.
Seeing Lin Xiaoran looking at him, Xiao Yi frowned.
"Cuirui, do you have something to say?"
Lin Xiaoran gritted her teeth and said to Xiao Yi: "Master Xiaohou, this servant knows who gave the bowl of porridge to Sister Xiaochan, can I tell you alone?"
After speaking, Lin Xiaoran glanced at Mrs. Xiao again, and said, "Madam, please give this servant a chance. Nubi will definitely let this person stand up on his own."
In Xiao Chan's memory, she promised Li Tang that when she was old, she would beg his wife to marry him.
The maids in the Hou's mansion usually marry the servants in the mansion, and Li Tang also agreed to Xiao Chan's request because of this.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Yi, and the two made a decision when their eyes met.
Xiao Yi stood up and gave Lin Xiaoran a wink.
Lin Xiaoran got up quickly and followed him out.
The two stood beside the big tree in the courtyard. The people in the hall could see them clearly, but they couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Lin Xiaoran said in a low voice, "Young Master, it is Li Tang who gave Xiaochan porridge."
"Oh, why should you know?"
"The slave has met before. Sister Xiaochan is very close to this Li Tang. Before that, Li Tang would often bring some cakes and unusual food to Sister Xiaochan from the wife's yard."
"Then this is not enough to prove that the bowl of porridge was given to Xiao Chan by Li Tang."
Lin Xiaoran had expected that Xiao Yi would not believe him so easily, so she could only speak with a cheeky face.
"Young Master, can you lend me 6 taels of silver?"
Xiao Yi frowned, "6 taels? What do you want money for?"
"Young Master, can you just lend me an afternoon? This will help clear my innocence. After dinner tonight, I will definitely return it to you."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi said: "Okay, I'd like to see it. How can this money repay your innocence."
Xiao Yi turned his head to wink at Lu Li, and Lu Li walked out of the courtyard.
Not long after, Lu Li walked into the courtyard with a wooden box.
"Give it to her." Xiao Yi said.
Lin Xiaoran took the box happily, and the moment the box arrived, 6 taels were added to the system immediately.
Lin Xiaoran redeemed the points, and then bought the mantra card.
Following Xiao Yi back to the front hall, Lin Xiaoran's complexion was obviously much better than when he left, and Xiao Chan's eyes also darkened after seeing Lin Xiaoran's face.
Lin Xiaoran returned to her previous position, and used the mantra card on Xiaochan beside her, but the system immediately rejected her request
[System warning.The Mantra card cannot be used on the task object. 】
Unexpectedly, it would be such a result, Lin Xiaoran could only settle for the next best thing, and set her sights on Li Tang.
Li Tang felt guilty at first, and when he saw Lin Xiaoran looking at him like this, he backed away unconsciously.
Lin Xiaoran bowed to Madam Xiao and said, "Madam, I remember that Li Tang and Sister Xiaochan are the best friends, can I ask him a few words?"
Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "Go."
Walking into Li Tang's side, Lin Xiaoran immediately used the card towards him.
Li Tang raised his hand to cover his mouth as if he couldn't help but want to speak.
This move obviously made everyone present doubt him.
Before Lin Xiaoran could speak, Xiao Yi spoke.
"Li Tang, what are you doing?"
Li Tang pursed his lips and kept shaking his head.
This action of his made Xiao Chan nervous.
Xiao Yi raised his hand and gestured to Lu Li who was behind him. Lu Li walked over to Li Tang without saying a word, and tried to break his mouth.
"Forgive me! Little Marquis, forgive me!"
Xiao Yi took a sip of tea and slowly put down the cup.
"Oh? Forgive me, I don't know what crime you have committed?"
"Small one, the small one is because the ghost is obsessed and wants to please Xiao Chan, so he gave Xiao Chan the porridge that my wife finished that night. Who knew it would hurt Miss Cui Rui."
Xiaochan stared at Li Tang with wide eyes.
Obviously everyone agreed before coming here, so I won't tell this matter.
What happened to Li Tang?Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?
Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Chan who was at the side again, and Xiao Chan waved her hands again and again and said, "I don't know."
Obviously, everyone didn't quite believe what Xiao Chan said.
Xiaochan hurriedly turned around and kowtowed, crying to the little lady.
"Madam Li Tang is trying to frame the servant, the servant has never taken any crab porridge, the servant has not."
Seeing that Xiao Chan had actually given up on him, Li Tang simply let go and stopped hiding.
He took out a purse from his waist and said: "If you go back to Madam, this is Xiaochan's token of love for your servant. He said that Madam will find someone for him to marry when the girl in the Hou Mansion is old. The first consideration is The servants in the Hou's mansion also said that they would intercede for the slave when the time came, and the slave had already regarded her as his daughter-in-law, so he often stole some food from the kitchen that you ate or didn't eat, and gave him rare food. "
Hearing this, Xiaochan raised her finger nervously at Li Tang, and shouted anxiously, "Li Tang, you are spitting blood."
Hearing such accusations, Li Tang was also very angry.
He raised his hand and presented the purse to Mrs. Xiao.
"Ma'am, Xiao Chan's time in the house is not long. If you don't believe the servant, you can look at the embroiderer on the purse."
"Xiao Chan, there is a characteristic of embroidery work, that is, when the embroidery is finished, he will leave a small spot in an inconspicuous place."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Rong Zhi who was on the side.
Rong Zhi bowed his head and replied to Mrs. Xiao's words: "Xiao Chan does have this habit."
"Xiao Chan, what else do you want to say?"
Xiaochan fell to the ground with her buttocks tilted, he did not expect such a result.
"The servant has nothing to say, but feels that Madam is doing things unfairly."
Xiao Qian uttered wild words, and everyone in the hall broke into a cold sweat for him.
"Xiaochan, what nonsense are you talking about? Since when did Madam act unfairly?"
Rong Zhikan and Xiao Chan entered the mansion together, so some of her usual habits Rong Zhi could not understand.But at the critical moment, I still don't want him to destroy his future.
"Hmph, of course you don't think Madam is doing things unfairly. I'll go into the mansion with you. I'm obviously better than you in terms of embroidery and brains, but Madam chose you and asked me to clean the front yard. I finally made it to the little marquis’s courtyard. I thought I should be the most qualified to be the big maid in the Hou’s mansion, but I didn’t expect my wife to choose Cui, who had just entered the mansion. Rui. Do you think this is fair? Compared with you, how far am I inferior?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao smiled coldly and said: "Do you want to know where you are? You are too scheming, you are too resentful, and you are vicious. You will arrive at the Hou Mansion soon." Over the past 13 years, everyone has seen what you did as a servant of the Hou Mansion. I think you grew up in the Hou Mansion and didn’t want to criticize you too much. I didn’t expect you to make your idea in Yi’er’s yard.”
Mrs. Xiao paused, and continued: "I asked the mother-in-law in Zhuangzi. You told them that Cui Rui is a symptom of the epidemic, right? You told them. You don't need to be rescued if you are too serious, right?"
Lin Xiaoran finally understood when she heard this, it turned out that even if she was not present today, Mrs. Xiao knew everything.
After hearing what the little lady said, Xiao Chan burst out laughing.
"It turns out that you all know everything, um, then I am really lucky to have the wife of the Hou's mansion and the young master come to act for me."
Xiao Yi didn't want to hear more from him, so he said in a deep voice, "Lu Li pulls him down."
Lu Li swiftly went to the center of the hall, grabbed Xiao Chan by the back of her neck and dragged her out.
Xiaochan had seen Lu Li kill people before, and thinking of those bloody scenes, she was afraid again.
She thumped her legs and shouted: "Madam, please spare! Madam, please spare me! This slave is just delusional, and she was a little angry for a while, but Cui Rui is fine now, I beg my wife and the young master to let this servant go!" "
Mrs. Xiao did not change her face, she was not moved by Xiaochan's plea.
He just said coldly: "When you framed Cui Rui, did you ever think that she was innocent. Now that she has come back safe and sound, who would know if she died in the wilderness? Who would know?" To collect her body?"
After hearing Mrs. Xiao's words, Lin Xiaoran was very happy for Cui Rui.
She will definitely tell Cui Rui what she said today.
After all the dust settled, everyone retreated, only Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Yi and Lin Xiaoran were left in the audience.
"Cuirui, now you can tell me what's going on."
Lin Xiaoran was a little confused, and after thinking about everything she had done back in the mansion, it seemed that there was nothing revealing, so she knelt down again.Said: "Returning to Madam, the maidservant has already explained to Sister Rongzhi what happened from the beginning to the end, and the young master also knows about it. There is really nothing else."
Mrs. Xiao should just scare her.Seeing that she is indeed very sincere.So he turned to look at Xiao Yi.
"Yi'er, you are not too young now. The young masters of all the prefectures, at your age, have adopted the girls in their yards to be the housekeeper. Cuirui has been with you for a few years. You take her to be the housekeeper. , and save someone from coveting the position of the big maid in your yard.
Xiao Yi was not very surprised.
"Mother and child don't have the idea of opening a room for the time being. Let's talk about it later."
"Then it's up to you."
The conversation between the mother and son was like a process, and it was nothing.
……
Lin Xiaoran followed Xiao Yi back to the yard.
"Tonight, I will make the spicy chicken that I made last night again."
Lin Xiaoran nodded.
Xiao Yi took another two steps and turned back to Lin Xiaoran and said, "Remember what you said, return the 6 taels to me when I come back at night."
Lin Xiaoran kicked the stones under her feet.Oh let out a cry.Then he felt something was wrong, bowed his body, and said "yes".
The only way to get money right now is to ask Duofu to go to the shop to think of a way when he meets Duofu in the afternoon.
Xiao Yi didn't eat at the mansion at noon, Lin Xiaoran was happy to be at leisure, she slept soundly, and woke up at the time agreed with Duofu.
She walked to the back door with her hands and feet, and found that the old man who was always squinting opened his eyes this time, and greeted her with a smile.
"Miss Cui Rui is going out?"
Lin Xiaoran hurriedly said: "Yes! I want to go out and buy some condiments. The young master wants to eat spicy chicken tonight, but the kitchen's dry chili is gone."
The uncle smiled, waved to him and said, go and come back quickly.
Lin Xiaoran nodded, opened the door and walked out.
When she went out, she lowered her head, clicked on the system and turned off the Yirong card.
……
Duofu became more and more cautious in doing things. When she saw Lin Xiaoran coming out, she didn't rush forward to say hello, but went straight to the entrance of the alley.
The two met in front of a stall selling buns.
Lin Xiaoran whispered to Duofu, "How are those RVs doing?"
Duofu thought for a while and said: "It's almost the same, the prime minister's wife's car is short of wheels."
"I think the wheels are already done."
Duofu nodded: "Yes, you can hand in the work after installing it."
As soon as Lin Xiaoran regained her energy, she hurriedly said to Duofu: "You should go back quickly and send the prime minister's wife's car to her. Remember, you must be quick, and you must collect the balance before dinner and enter the account. I heard that." ?"
Duofu scratched his head and said, "But..."
(End of this chapter)
⒈
Without the pain imagined, Lin Xiaoran opened her eyes and saw that the pillar was indeed in front of her.
But when I bumped into it again, I found that the pillar was actually soft.
She looked at everything in front of her in despair, and sat down on the ground depressed.
[Continued world-weary mood, the system will punish you as follows: deduct 10 taels from the host’s purse, and earn one point]
Lin Xiaoran quickly raised her hand, "Okay, I don't want to die anymore, don't deduct my money anymore."
The red alert in the system was lifted, and now Lin Xiaoran is gnashing her teeth with hatred.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoran lay on the bed, and the system chattered about a bunch of precautions, but she didn't listen very carefully.
My mind is full of how to attack Xiao Yi.
In the original book, I was killed by Xiao Yi, maybe because of this reason, every time I get close to Xiao Yi, as long as he has murderous intentions towards others, I will feel a strong sense of oppression.
This person is too difficult to guess, and too difficult to understand.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoran slapped herself hard, blaming her for always reading the novels in general, and never carefully read the details inside, and she even didn't finish reading this book.
When Xiao Yi left today, he said he thought highly of himself.
Isn't this just being harmed by the system?
For a while, he let himself push Xiao Yi to punish Liu Rumeng, and for a while, he let himself think of a way to save her.
"Hey..." Lin Xiaoran's brain hurts thinking about this.
"Miss, hurry up and eat. Today's stew is the pheasant that Qiao's mother and grandpa caught on the mountain. It is very tender. Come and taste it."
Nanzhu was holding the tray, and she was very careful with every step she took, for fear of spilling the vegetables in the small pot.
She put the small casserole on the table, and hurriedly scratched her earlobe when it was hot.
"Miss, eat it while it's hot. Mother Qiao has cooked a lot of your favorite dishes. She knows that you have been wronged in the front hall again, and she wants to make up for you."
Lin Xiaoran quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes, walked to the round table and lowered her head to smell it, it really smelled good.
She looked at Nan Zhu who ran out, feeling warm in her heart.
Nanzhu was one year younger than herself, and was sold to their home by Ren Yazi when she was five years old, and she has been with her until now.
She has been bullied by Aunt Liu all these years. It looks like there are many people in this yard, but in fact, few of them are working sincerely. Except for Nanzhu and Mother Qiao who follow her sincerely, let alone treat her as their master in private, no Arrangement is just fine.
After taking a bite of the chicken, Lin Xiaoran's blood returned slightly, and she decided to go to Lin Shunze to change a group of people in her yard after finishing the meal.
Nanzhu ran back and forth, from the small kitchen to here, back and forth seven or eight times, and finally all the dishes on the table were served.
Mapo tofu, stir-fried shredded radish, and sweet and sour meatballs are Lin Xiaoran's favorite food.
Finally, the scallop chicken porridge in the casserole is the finishing touch, and it is still bubbling when the lid is lifted.
"Where did Mother Qiao get the money to buy scallops?"
Lin Xiaoran took the porridge from Nan Zhu and asked.
Nanzhu stood by the table and helped Lin Xiaoran prepare the dishes. She looked at the servants in the yard and said, "Mother Qiao said that the people ordered by Aunt Liu sent them here today. There are also scallops, shark's fins, and fish maw. Mother Qiao was shocked." Jump, saying that Aunt Liu was afraid that she might have lost her mind, so she brought all the Bazhen Guan from the East Street, and gave away a lot of them, saying it was to make you healthy, but I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."
Lin Xiaoran took a sip of porridge, squinted her eyes and thought for a while, it seemed that Lin Shunze had explained something to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu was frightened today, and now is a good time, the Yu Wei who called Xiao Yi and Lin Shunze are still there, Lin Xiaoran decided to give her yard a big change.
⑵
Just do it.
After Lin Xiaoran had dinner, she took a casual rest and went to the front hall with Nanzhu.
Lin Shunze and Liu Rumeng usually eat later than their small courtyard, and now they used to drink tea and chat after meals.
Sure enough, when Lin Xiaoran arrived at the front hall, Lin Shunze was sitting in the main seat drinking tea.
Lin Xiaoyao stood aside respectfully and rubbed Lin Shunze's shoulders.
Because Liu Rumeng was injured, she could only sit on the other chair.
If this was normal, she would either lean against Lin Shunze and act like a baby, or peel apples for him, or peel oranges for him.
Seeing Lin Xiaoran standing at the door, Lin Shunze smiled and waved to her: "Has Xiaoran had dinner yet?"
Lin Xiaoran saluted, and said obediently: "I have used it. Tonight, the small kitchen made a lot of dishes that I have never seen before. Mother Qiao said that the ingredients were brought by Aunt Liu. I am coming to thank Auntie."
"Oh? What dish has Miss Lin's family never eaten before?"
Lin Xiaoran deliberately pretended not to remember clearly, then turned to Nanzhu and asked, "Nanzhu, what are those called?"
Nanzhu met Lin Xiaoran's eyes, and said clearly: "Miss Hui, scallops, scallops, and shark's fin are all from the Eight Treasures Museum on the East Street, and they are all first-class."
Hearing what Nanzhu said, Lin Shunze felt a little displeased.
Ever since Lin Xiaoran's mother passed away, Aunt Liu asked her to eat in the small kitchen in her yard on the grounds that it was not easy for children to eat with adults.
In addition to deducting her monthly money, she even ate ordinary cabbage and tofu.
It was because of this that Lin Xiaoran, who had traveled through time, subconsciously wanted to eat meat.
From time to time, Liu Rumeng would talk to Lin Shunze about what Lin Xiaoran ate and did.
Hearing this just now, my daughter has never even eaten scallops or scallops. Before that, Liu Rumeng said that Lin Xiaoran was extravagant and wasteful, what happened to the big fish and meat every day.
Lin Xiaoran was stupid before, so he didn't say anything, but now this daughter is a noble person, so she can't be treated badly.
Lin Shunze looked at Liu Rumeng, who bowed his head and said nothing, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't the money allocated every month before just to buy these? Why did Xiaoran say she hadn't seen it?"
Before Liu Rumeng could speak, Lin Xiaoran said, "Has Daddy bought these for your daughter before?"
"Of course, you sisters have the same food and clothing. Yaoyao and Xiaoqian have these in their breakfast porridge every day. Why don't you have them?"
You said why not, it's not that you, baby Menger, are greedy.
Lin Xiaoran went back angrily in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
She thought that the purpose of today was to apply for a replacement. Now that the matter has reached this point, she just went along with it.
"Daddy, my daughter has something to say, but she doesn't know whether to say it or not."
Lin Xiaoran pursed her lips, and secretly glanced at the pale Liu Rumeng.
Lin Shunze followed Lin Xiaoran's line of sight, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes and said: "There is nothing you can't say, you can say whatever you want today."
Hearing what Lin Shunze said, Lin Xiaoran moved to Liu Rumeng's side, leaned over and asked, "Aunt Liu, can I really say that?"
Liu Rumeng looked up at Lin Xiaoran, swallowed nervously, and stammered: "You can say what you want, my aunt also wants to know, obviously I send these ingredients to your yard every month, why did you say it today? Say so in front of the master."
"That's right! Why haven't I seen it? Could it be that it was stolen by someone?"
Lin Xiaoran moved closer to Liu Rumeng and said something.
Liu Rumeng was really exhausted today, and the wound was still hurting, so she had long since lost her fighting spirit.
"How do I know who stole it!"
⑶
Lin Xiaoran slapped her hands suddenly.
It frightened Liu Rumeng to bounce on the chair.
"Daddy, this person is..."
Lin Xiaoran deliberately said loudly in front of Liu Rumeng, but she just didn't finish.
Liu Rumeng held her breath, her uninjured hand tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, the owner who could see the hand was exerting so much force that even the few blue blood vessels on the back of the hand could be seen clearly.
"It's the servants in my yard!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Rumeng turned his head away and let out a long breath.
Lin Shunze obviously did not expect such a result, and said, "Those servants have been with you for five or six years, why do you only realize that they have a problem now?"
"Back to my father, my daughter has always thought about it before. I was sitting in the house just now, watching Nanzhu serve me food one after another. None of the servants in the courtyard helped me. Then I thought about how they treated me before. Not much respect."
This Lin Shunze could think that the daughter who was stupid before became much smarter after being injured this time.
"Go on."
Lin Xiaoran took two steps forward and continued: "Usually these ingredients are taken by the servants in the yard, but this time he has diarrhea, and Qiao's mother asked Qiaoqiao to get them. Who knew that he would bring back such a pile of things. It really freaked her out."
"This one who received a thousand knives, in the past, I only asked him to deliver ingredients because he was honest. Xiao Ran, my aunt never thought that he could do such a thing."
After listening to Lin Xiaoran's words, Liu Rumeng guessed her intentions. Since she wasn't going to expose her, of course she had to find a way for her to step down.
"Then ask my aunt to make the decision for me, and replace all the servants who ignore the master."
Lin Shunze cleared his throat, looked at the aggrieved daughter in the hall, and said softly: "Since Xiao Ran is not satisfied with the servants in the yard, then change another batch. Your aunt still has injuries on her hands, wait a few days When she recovers, find out who is greedy for those precious ingredients, and then find Ren Yazi to replace you with a batch of servants."
"Yes, I will find some servants in a few days, and I will definitely not have these dog slaves who eat inside and outside and commit crimes above."
Liu Rumeng scrambled to do this, but Lin Xiaoran couldn't do what she wanted.
"Father, don't bother Auntie, just let her recover from her injuries. My daughter is about to grow up now, and she needs to learn how to manage servants. Mother Qiao knows a lot of reliable matchmakers. After her daughter has dealt with those unsightly things in the yard For a servant who is loyal to the master, let Qiao's mother choose a servant."
Hearing what his daughter said, Lin Shunze was relieved, Qiao Siniang was Lin Xiaoran's dead mother's personal maid, and Lin Xiaoran must have the same heart.
After thinking everything over, Lin Shunze agreed to Lin Xiaoran's request.
Liu Rumeng watched the father and daughter singing together, and didn't intend to ask for his opinion at all, so he could only shut his mouth in embarrassment.
After cleaning up Liu Rumeng's eyeliner in the courtyard, Lin Xiaoran felt that the courtyard looked much more pleasing to the eye.
She was in a good mood that night, and redrawn all the blueprints for Madam Hou's Mansion, and made improvements in some places, thinking that she would have points that could be exchanged for items in the item bar.
Qiao's mother was very quick in handling things, so she asked Ren Yazi to select a group of servants and send them over the next day.
Among them was a man named Duofu, who was big and thick, and was said to be able to work like a three-legged cat.
He spoke honestly and honestly, and Lin Xiaoran fell in love with him immediately. With such a person staying in the yard, he would sleep more comfortably.
There are also Sanmao and Wukui, both of whom seem to have a lot of strength.
Qiao's mother saw that Lin Xiaoran's way of choosing a candidate was gradually going astray, and hurried up to stop him.
"Miss, what do you want so many rough people for?"
⑷
Lin Xiaoran leaned close to Qiao's mother's ear and whispered: "These people can still help me build a car in the future. The most important thing is, with such a row of strong men standing at the gate of the courtyard, Liu Rumeng will not dare to look for trouble again."
Mother Qiao hesitated and stood aside, but she still felt that it was inappropriate for a girl who had not left the cabinet to keep so many men in the courtyard, and it caused people to gossip for no reason.
In the follow-up selection, Mother Qiao almost took the lead. Lin Xiaoran knew what Mother Qiao meant, so she let her go.
In the end, except Duofu, Sanmao and Wukui were all sent to the outer courtyard by Qiao's mother.
I went to see the stables.
Duo Fu is usually fine, and Qiao's mother doesn't let him stay in the inner courtyard, so the new carefree A-Ding becomes the mouthpiece of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard.
After a few days, Lin Xiaoran finally finished the interior of Mrs. Hou's carriage. She put all the things in the carriage with great interest, and took Duofu and Wukui to Hou's residence together.
That day, after Xiao Yi left, the two never saw each other again.
Lin Xiaoran was a little apprehensive along the way, looking at the numbers behind the strategy index in the system, she felt overwhelmed.
When they arrived at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, Duofu went to the gate to report. This time, it was probably because Lin Xiaoran came to look for Mrs. Hou's Mansion, so no one stopped them and let their carriage go sideways and enter the courtyard.
The servants took Lin Xiaoran to a side hall in the main courtyard, and asked her to wait for a good tea.
As soon as the servants left, Lin Xiaoran saw Xiao Yi and Lu Li who were about to go out.
She enthusiastically walked out of the side hall, jumped up and greeted Xiao Yi and said, "Morning, Young Master!"
Xiao Yi turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoran, without the slightest expression, and turned his head back again.
"Miss Lin, it's almost noon now, tell me it's too late."
Lin Xiaoran gave a "tsk", secretly cursing that Xiao Yi was really picky.
But for the sake of the Raiders index, she still rushed over.
"Where are you going, little lord?"
Seeing that Xiao Yi didn't intend to talk to her, Lin Xiaoran walked around to Xiao Yi's other side and said, "Young Lord, today's clothes are too suitable for you, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and a good figure!"
As she spoke, Lin Xiaoran didn't forget to clap her hands.
Nanzhu saw that her young lady said it was hard work by herself, so she also clapped her hands in agreement.
Even Lu Li, who was usually expressionless, nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yi looked at these three people and said speechlessly, "What are you doing here today?"
Lin Xiaoran took a pillow that she sewed from the interior of the RV in the hands of the servants behind her like a treasure, and said, "I'm here to give these to my wife, and they are all made according to the drawings. Look at this pillow, it's more comfortable than the one in your RV. , is the newly picked cotton this year, and this satin, does it feel very comfortable to you?"
Xiao Yi didn't bother to answer, he raised his hand to touch it casually, then withdrew it.
"is not it?"
Lin Xiaoran continued to ask.
Xiao Yi replied impatiently: "That's all you have, don't use your brain when it comes to business."
Knowing that he was talking about that day again, Lin Xiaoran suppressed the anger of being scolded in her heart, and lowered her head pretending to be pitiful: "I was frightened that day, and if you really want to kill Aunt Liu at my house, Beijing will tell you Gossip and gossip.”
Xiao Yi chuckled, then turned to look at Lin Xiaoran, "What do you mean, I still have to thank you well today?"
Lin Xiaoran hurriedly raised her hands, both of her hands were ready to shake.
"No, no, no! I didn't mean that, I just... I just... I just lost my mind in that incoherent Japanese. If you give me another chance, I definitely won't do that."
Seeing Lin Xiaoran's anxious look, Xiao Yi sighed softly.
[Congratulations to the host!The progress of the strategy has changed, the strategy index: -62]
"You said no, and he said no, did this bowl of porridge fly into Cui Rui's hands for no reason?"
There was no trace of emotion in Xiao Yi's voice, but it was enough to make the people in the hall terrified.
Lin Xiaoran knew that going on like this was not an option, Xiaochan would never admit what she had done.
She looked at the reading memory card in the inventory, and suddenly had an idea. She didn't know whether this reading memory card could read the memory of one person or the memories of multiple people.
So she tried to click on this card, and quietly approached Xiaochan while everyone was not paying attention.
Then the memory in Lin Xiaoran's mind was broken up and reshaped.Memories that did not belong to her entered her mind one after another.
The memory of Xiao Chan who was at the side was extracted, and she was so dazed that she almost fell to the ground.
"Xiaochan, are you alright?" Rong Zhi asked in a low voice after helping Xiaochan.
Xiaochan waved her hand and said, "Sister Rongzhi, I'm fine, maybe I haven't had enough sleep recently, so I'm a little dizzy, it's okay."
Here Lin Xiaoran read Xiaochan's memory, and a familiar face appeared in her mind, so she unconsciously turned her head to look at the cooks behind her.
His gaze directly locked on the one in Xiaochan's memory.This person is Li Tang, the newcomer to Mrs. Xiao's small kitchen.
Li Tang was transferred from the kitchen in the outer courtyard only last month.
It doesn't matter if a person looks like a mouse.Still a daring one.
He saw that Xiaochan approached him deliberately, so he often stole some uncommon food that Mrs. Xiao had eaten or leftovers to please Xiaochan.
Xiao Chan also accidentally heard about Cui Rui's problem a few years ago, so she heard that there was crab meat in the bowl of porridge, so she gave it to Cui Rui.
Man is locked, now just make him tell the truth.The task will be completed.Just how can you tell the truth?
Lin Xiaoran looked up at Xiao Yi who was sitting there drinking tea.I thought how I could get some money from him, so that the points I bought could be exchanged for the mantra card.
Seeing Lin Xiaoran looking at him, Xiao Yi frowned.
"Cuirui, do you have something to say?"
Lin Xiaoran gritted her teeth and said to Xiao Yi: "Master Xiaohou, this servant knows who gave the bowl of porridge to Sister Xiaochan, can I tell you alone?"
After speaking, Lin Xiaoran glanced at Mrs. Xiao again, and said, "Madam, please give this servant a chance. Nubi will definitely let this person stand up on his own."
In Xiao Chan's memory, she promised Li Tang that when she was old, she would beg his wife to marry him.
The maids in the Hou's mansion usually marry the servants in the mansion, and Li Tang also agreed to Xiao Chan's request because of this.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Yi, and the two made a decision when their eyes met.
Xiao Yi stood up and gave Lin Xiaoran a wink.
Lin Xiaoran got up quickly and followed him out.
The two stood beside the big tree in the courtyard. The people in the hall could see them clearly, but they couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Lin Xiaoran said in a low voice, "Young Master, it is Li Tang who gave Xiaochan porridge."
"Oh, why should you know?"
"The slave has met before. Sister Xiaochan is very close to this Li Tang. Before that, Li Tang would often bring some cakes and unusual food to Sister Xiaochan from the wife's yard."
"Then this is not enough to prove that the bowl of porridge was given to Xiao Chan by Li Tang."
Lin Xiaoran had expected that Xiao Yi would not believe him so easily, so she could only speak with a cheeky face.
"Young Master, can you lend me 6 taels of silver?"
Xiao Yi frowned, "6 taels? What do you want money for?"
"Young Master, can you just lend me an afternoon? This will help clear my innocence. After dinner tonight, I will definitely return it to you."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi said: "Okay, I'd like to see it. How can this money repay your innocence."
Xiao Yi turned his head to wink at Lu Li, and Lu Li walked out of the courtyard.
Not long after, Lu Li walked into the courtyard with a wooden box.
"Give it to her." Xiao Yi said.
Lin Xiaoran took the box happily, and the moment the box arrived, 6 taels were added to the system immediately.
Lin Xiaoran redeemed the points, and then bought the mantra card.
Following Xiao Yi back to the front hall, Lin Xiaoran's complexion was obviously much better than when he left, and Xiao Chan's eyes also darkened after seeing Lin Xiaoran's face.
Lin Xiaoran returned to her previous position, and used the mantra card on Xiaochan beside her, but the system immediately rejected her request
[System warning.The Mantra card cannot be used on the task object. 】
Unexpectedly, it would be such a result, Lin Xiaoran could only settle for the next best thing, and set her sights on Li Tang.
Li Tang felt guilty at first, and when he saw Lin Xiaoran looking at him like this, he backed away unconsciously.
Lin Xiaoran bowed to Madam Xiao and said, "Madam, I remember that Li Tang and Sister Xiaochan are the best friends, can I ask him a few words?"
Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "Go."
Walking into Li Tang's side, Lin Xiaoran immediately used the card towards him.
Li Tang raised his hand to cover his mouth as if he couldn't help but want to speak.
This move obviously made everyone present doubt him.
Before Lin Xiaoran could speak, Xiao Yi spoke.
"Li Tang, what are you doing?"
Li Tang pursed his lips and kept shaking his head.
This action of his made Xiao Chan nervous.
Xiao Yi raised his hand and gestured to Lu Li who was behind him. Lu Li walked over to Li Tang without saying a word, and tried to break his mouth.
"Forgive me! Little Marquis, forgive me!"
Xiao Yi took a sip of tea and slowly put down the cup.
"Oh? Forgive me, I don't know what crime you have committed?"
"Small one, the small one is because the ghost is obsessed and wants to please Xiao Chan, so he gave Xiao Chan the porridge that my wife finished that night. Who knew it would hurt Miss Cui Rui."
Xiaochan stared at Li Tang with wide eyes.
Obviously everyone agreed before coming here, so I won't tell this matter.
What happened to Li Tang?Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?
Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Chan who was at the side again, and Xiao Chan waved her hands again and again and said, "I don't know."
Obviously, everyone didn't quite believe what Xiao Chan said.
Xiaochan hurriedly turned around and kowtowed, crying to the little lady.
"Madam Li Tang is trying to frame the servant, the servant has never taken any crab porridge, the servant has not."
Seeing that Xiao Chan had actually given up on him, Li Tang simply let go and stopped hiding.
He took out a purse from his waist and said: "If you go back to Madam, this is Xiaochan's token of love for your servant. He said that Madam will find someone for him to marry when the girl in the Hou Mansion is old. The first consideration is The servants in the Hou's mansion also said that they would intercede for the slave when the time came, and the slave had already regarded her as his daughter-in-law, so he often stole some food from the kitchen that you ate or didn't eat, and gave him rare food. "
Hearing this, Xiaochan raised her finger nervously at Li Tang, and shouted anxiously, "Li Tang, you are spitting blood."
Hearing such accusations, Li Tang was also very angry.
He raised his hand and presented the purse to Mrs. Xiao.
"Ma'am, Xiao Chan's time in the house is not long. If you don't believe the servant, you can look at the embroiderer on the purse."
"Xiao Chan, there is a characteristic of embroidery work, that is, when the embroidery is finished, he will leave a small spot in an inconspicuous place."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Rong Zhi who was on the side.
Rong Zhi bowed his head and replied to Mrs. Xiao's words: "Xiao Chan does have this habit."
"Xiao Chan, what else do you want to say?"
Xiaochan fell to the ground with her buttocks tilted, he did not expect such a result.
"The servant has nothing to say, but feels that Madam is doing things unfairly."
Xiao Qian uttered wild words, and everyone in the hall broke into a cold sweat for him.
"Xiaochan, what nonsense are you talking about? Since when did Madam act unfairly?"
Rong Zhikan and Xiao Chan entered the mansion together, so some of her usual habits Rong Zhi could not understand.But at the critical moment, I still don't want him to destroy his future.
"Hmph, of course you don't think Madam is doing things unfairly. I'll go into the mansion with you. I'm obviously better than you in terms of embroidery and brains, but Madam chose you and asked me to clean the front yard. I finally made it to the little marquis’s courtyard. I thought I should be the most qualified to be the big maid in the Hou’s mansion, but I didn’t expect my wife to choose Cui, who had just entered the mansion. Rui. Do you think this is fair? Compared with you, how far am I inferior?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao smiled coldly and said: "Do you want to know where you are? You are too scheming, you are too resentful, and you are vicious. You will arrive at the Hou Mansion soon." Over the past 13 years, everyone has seen what you did as a servant of the Hou Mansion. I think you grew up in the Hou Mansion and didn’t want to criticize you too much. I didn’t expect you to make your idea in Yi’er’s yard.”
Mrs. Xiao paused, and continued: "I asked the mother-in-law in Zhuangzi. You told them that Cui Rui is a symptom of the epidemic, right? You told them. You don't need to be rescued if you are too serious, right?"
Lin Xiaoran finally understood when she heard this, it turned out that even if she was not present today, Mrs. Xiao knew everything.
After hearing what the little lady said, Xiao Chan burst out laughing.
"It turns out that you all know everything, um, then I am really lucky to have the wife of the Hou's mansion and the young master come to act for me."
Xiao Yi didn't want to hear more from him, so he said in a deep voice, "Lu Li pulls him down."
Lu Li swiftly went to the center of the hall, grabbed Xiao Chan by the back of her neck and dragged her out.
Xiaochan had seen Lu Li kill people before, and thinking of those bloody scenes, she was afraid again.
She thumped her legs and shouted: "Madam, please spare! Madam, please spare me! This slave is just delusional, and she was a little angry for a while, but Cui Rui is fine now, I beg my wife and the young master to let this servant go!" "
Mrs. Xiao did not change her face, she was not moved by Xiaochan's plea.
He just said coldly: "When you framed Cui Rui, did you ever think that she was innocent. Now that she has come back safe and sound, who would know if she died in the wilderness? Who would know?" To collect her body?"
After hearing Mrs. Xiao's words, Lin Xiaoran was very happy for Cui Rui.
She will definitely tell Cui Rui what she said today.
After all the dust settled, everyone retreated, only Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Yi and Lin Xiaoran were left in the audience.
"Cuirui, now you can tell me what's going on."
Lin Xiaoran was a little confused, and after thinking about everything she had done back in the mansion, it seemed that there was nothing revealing, so she knelt down again.Said: "Returning to Madam, the maidservant has already explained to Sister Rongzhi what happened from the beginning to the end, and the young master also knows about it. There is really nothing else."
Mrs. Xiao should just scare her.Seeing that she is indeed very sincere.So he turned to look at Xiao Yi.
"Yi'er, you are not too young now. The young masters of all the prefectures, at your age, have adopted the girls in their yards to be the housekeeper. Cuirui has been with you for a few years. You take her to be the housekeeper. , and save someone from coveting the position of the big maid in your yard.
Xiao Yi was not very surprised.
"Mother and child don't have the idea of opening a room for the time being. Let's talk about it later."
"Then it's up to you."
The conversation between the mother and son was like a process, and it was nothing.
……
Lin Xiaoran followed Xiao Yi back to the yard.
"Tonight, I will make the spicy chicken that I made last night again."
Lin Xiaoran nodded.
Xiao Yi took another two steps and turned back to Lin Xiaoran and said, "Remember what you said, return the 6 taels to me when I come back at night."
Lin Xiaoran kicked the stones under her feet.Oh let out a cry.Then he felt something was wrong, bowed his body, and said "yes".
The only way to get money right now is to ask Duofu to go to the shop to think of a way when he meets Duofu in the afternoon.
Xiao Yi didn't eat at the mansion at noon, Lin Xiaoran was happy to be at leisure, she slept soundly, and woke up at the time agreed with Duofu.
She walked to the back door with her hands and feet, and found that the old man who was always squinting opened his eyes this time, and greeted her with a smile.
"Miss Cui Rui is going out?"
Lin Xiaoran hurriedly said: "Yes! I want to go out and buy some condiments. The young master wants to eat spicy chicken tonight, but the kitchen's dry chili is gone."
The uncle smiled, waved to him and said, go and come back quickly.
Lin Xiaoran nodded, opened the door and walked out.
When she went out, she lowered her head, clicked on the system and turned off the Yirong card.
……
Duofu became more and more cautious in doing things. When she saw Lin Xiaoran coming out, she didn't rush forward to say hello, but went straight to the entrance of the alley.
The two met in front of a stall selling buns.
Lin Xiaoran whispered to Duofu, "How are those RVs doing?"
Duofu thought for a while and said: "It's almost the same, the prime minister's wife's car is short of wheels."
"I think the wheels are already done."
Duofu nodded: "Yes, you can hand in the work after installing it."
As soon as Lin Xiaoran regained her energy, she hurriedly said to Duofu: "You should go back quickly and send the prime minister's wife's car to her. Remember, you must be quick, and you must collect the balance before dinner and enter the account. I heard that." ?"
Duofu scratched his head and said, "But..."
"You said no, and he said no, did this bowl of porridge fly into Cui Rui's hands for no reason?"
There was no trace of emotion in Xiao Yi's voice, but it was enough to make the people in the hall terrified.
Lin Xiaoran knew that going on like this was not an option, Xiaochan would never admit what she had done.
She looked at the reading memory card in the inventory, and suddenly had an idea. She didn't know whether this reading memory card could read the memory of one person or the memories of multiple people.
So she tried to click on this card, and quietly approached Xiaochan while everyone was not paying attention.
Then the memory in Lin Xiaoran's mind was broken up and reshaped.Memories that did not belong to her entered her mind one after another.
The memory of Xiao Chan who was at the side was extracted, and she was so dazed that she almost fell to the ground.
"Xiaochan, are you alright?" Rong Zhi asked in a low voice after helping Xiaochan.
Xiaochan waved her hand and said, "Sister Rongzhi, I'm fine, maybe I haven't had enough sleep recently, so I'm a little dizzy, it's okay."
Here Lin Xiaoran read Xiaochan's memory, and a familiar face appeared in her mind, so she unconsciously turned her head to look at the cooks behind her.
His gaze directly locked on the one in Xiaochan's memory.This person is Li Tang, the newcomer to Mrs. Xiao's small kitchen.
Li Tang was transferred from the kitchen in the outer courtyard only last month.
It doesn't matter if a person looks like a mouse.Still a daring one.
He saw that Xiaochan approached him deliberately, so he often stole some uncommon food that Mrs. Xiao had eaten or leftovers to please Xiaochan.
Xiao Chan also accidentally heard about Cui Rui's problem a few years ago, so she heard that there was crab meat in the bowl of porridge, so she gave it to Cui Rui.
Man is locked, now just make him tell the truth.The task will be completed.Just how can you tell the truth?
Lin Xiaoran looked up at Xiao Yi who was sitting there drinking tea.I thought how I could get some money from him, so that the points I bought could be exchanged for the mantra card.
Seeing Lin Xiaoran looking at him, Xiao Yi frowned.
"Cuirui, do you have something to say?"
Lin Xiaoran gritted her teeth and said to Xiao Yi: "Master Xiaohou, this servant knows who gave the bowl of porridge to Sister Xiaochan, can I tell you alone?"
After speaking, Lin Xiaoran glanced at Mrs. Xiao again, and said, "Madam, please give this servant a chance. Nubi will definitely let this person stand up on his own."
In Xiao Chan's memory, she promised Li Tang that when she was old, she would beg his wife to marry him.
The maids in the Hou's mansion usually marry the servants in the mansion, and Li Tang also agreed to Xiao Chan's request because of this.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Yi, and the two made a decision when their eyes met.
Xiao Yi stood up and gave Lin Xiaoran a wink.
Lin Xiaoran got up quickly and followed him out.
The two stood beside the big tree in the courtyard. The people in the hall could see them clearly, but they couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Lin Xiaoran said in a low voice, "Young Master, it is Li Tang who gave Xiaochan porridge."
"Oh, why should you know?"
"The slave has met before. Sister Xiaochan is very close to this Li Tang. Before that, Li Tang would often bring some cakes and unusual food to Sister Xiaochan from the wife's yard."
