Chapter 38 You can’t catch a cow plowing the fields hard
The things given by Concubine Zhang were for Xu Muhua, so naturally no one else in the Chengguo Palace would want to be greedy.

Xu's mother would not even think about putting these rewards in the public treasury. Instead, she would let Xu Muhua keep them for herself so that they could be used as dowry when she gets married in the future.With such a dowry, her husband's family would not dare to look down upon her.

Xu Muhua originally wanted to choose some jewelry that could be given away, some of which were silk, for others, but when she saw Xu Jinyu standing aside silently, with her head lowered all the time, she changed her mind.

"Mom, then I will move all these things back to the yard!"

"Move it, move it! Move them all back! Since it was given to you, it belongs to you!"

Xu Muhua said nothing more and asked a few servants to help move several boxes of things back to his yard.

"Mom, why did you ask the eldest sister to move all the things back to your yard? Ah Nan and I can forget it, but mother and grandmother..." Xu Jinyu felt that at least we should choose something valuable to give to them. They are elders. !
Xu's mother said: "What don't we have in our house? Your grandmother and I don't go out to socialize very much on weekdays, so it's useless to ask for those things. It's better to leave it to Mu Hua. She has grown up and needs to learn to dress herself up. ”

After saying that, he looked at Xu Jinyu and smiled lovingly, reached out and touched her head and said, "You are the same. When you grow up, mother will also consider you."

Both are her daughters. If one has it, the other will have it too. She will not favor any one.

Xu Jinyu lowered his head shyly.

Moving the things back to the yard, Xu Muhua asked Pomegranate to sort them out and put them into her small warehouse, while she became the shopkeeper.

Xu Muhua was about to go back to the house when Qiu Shuang on the side couldn't help calling her: "Miss..."

Xu Muhua stopped and looked back, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Miss, did this slave do something wrong to make the lady unhappy?"

Xu Muhua looked surprised: "Why do you say that?"

This is all about Qiu Shuang.

Do you want her to say that she feels she has fallen out of favor and that the lady doesn't like her?

Obviously, she was the first-class maid next to the young lady before. She was responsible for almost all the big and small things in the yard. She followed the young lady wherever she went, and she would only give her orders when she wanted to do anything.

But now this person has turned into a pomegranate!
Important matters such as sorting out the rewards in the palace and returning them to the young lady's private treasury were all handed over to Pomegranate. She had to admit that she really might have fallen out of favor!
But why?What did she do wrong?Everything was fine before. It seemed like it had been like this since the young lady fell from the attic and woke up from a coma for more than half a month.

Qiu Shuang couldn't figure out what she did wrong, which made her fall out of favor.

Qiu Shuang looked at Xu Muhua aggrievedly, fearing that she really didn't understand, and glanced at Pomegranate secretly.

Xu Muhua suddenly realized, "Oh, you said this!"

She said earnestly: "Qiu Shuang, I know that you used to be responsible for everything in my yard, but because I know, that's why I feel that I have to plow the fields. I can't just catch a cow and work hard." It’s your command! Can’t you change it to make the cow work longer and more vigorously?” Cow, cow?Qiu Shuang was stunned for a moment. This metaphor...

"Both of you are maids in my Fenghuayuan. You should take turns doing the work in this yard! I feel sorry for you and want you to rest more. Don't think too much! Have a good rest so that you can be more capable in the future. Serve me diligently!"

After saying that, she strode into the inner room, leaving Qiu Shuang looking dazed and confused.

What the lady said seemed to make sense, but, why did it feel like something was wrong?
Qiu Shuang walked out of the house with a confused look on her face. When she saw the pomegranates who were busy counting various items in the yard, her face darkened.

No matter what, now this dead girl Shiliu is on an equal footing with her!If time passes, will it completely overwhelm her?This is not possible!She has to find a way to solve it!
After counting the pomegranates, they were recorded one by one in the book, and then the book was handed over to Xu Muhua for review.

Xu Muhua took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

She is indeed a beloved concubine, and this gesture is so generous!There are silks and satins, gold jewelry, silver, calligraphy and paintings!

She opened the book, picked out a few items and told Pomegranate: "Send these items to your grandmother and mother, and say that I honor them."

Pomegranate took a look and saw that the items picked out by the young lady included fabrics, ornaments, and headdresses, all of which were relatively luxurious and required a certain age and experience to be able to afford them.It would be appropriate to send it to the old lady and madam.

"Okay, the servant will do it now."

Pomegranate walked a few steps and remembered something, then stopped and turned around and asked: "What about the second young lady and the young master? And the next door..."

Hearing the word next door, Xu Muhua looked disgusted, "Why should I give them next door? As for Jin Yu and Anan..."

She paused and smiled, "They are still young and don't need these. Let's leave them for now. I will give them to them when the time comes."

Shiliu didn't doubt his presence, nodded and walked out.

Soon the old lady and Xu's mother received the things that Xu Muhua had sent over. Although they said reproachful words, the smiles on their lips never fell!Privately, people say that she is filial and thinks of her two elders whenever she wants. She is a good child.

Xu Jinyu also heard the news and thought that she and Xu Nan both had it.But who knows, if you wait and wait, you won’t get anything!When she inquired about it, she found out that Xu Muhua had said that, and she was so angry that she almost cried.

She herself is not much older than her, so she and Anan are still young, but she clearly doesn't want to share it with them!But he sent the things to his grandmother and mother. Wasn't he deliberately trying to please them?
The nun next to Xu Jinyu saw that she was sulking and explained: "My second young lady, she is just an adopted daughter. How can she live happily in Chengguo Duke's Mansion without bothering to think about the old lady and the madam? She is also very happy. It's three, and the marriage is about to begin. If we don't seize the time to please the two elders and spend more time on her marriage, she may not know what kind of marriage she is looking for!"

"She is used to pleasing people, and this is all because of her status! But the second lady is different. You don't have to work so hard. The old lady and madam still love you and love you! Why do you bother for this? If you sulk about something and make yourself angry, isn't that making people laugh?"

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and said, "Mommy, I know, I'm not angry, I'm just a little sad. The eldest sister doesn't regard me as her biological sister at all."

Mammy curled her lips secretly, thinking that she was not worthy of being a sister to the second young lady!
