Soft-waisted little maid

Chapter 8 Another storm arises
Sun Zhilu led the people into the house.

The maid who had been waiting nearby wanted to come up to serve him, but he waved his hand and sent him away.

Sun Zan sat honestly at the table, quietly waiting for him as an elder to ask questions first.But he was not in a hurry, and took out a few leaves of Liu'an melon from a blue and white teapot on the table, and poured a cup for Sun Zan.

"I'm not that particular about drinking tea. This was brought to me by a friend years ago. There's only so much in total. It's rare for you to be a guest in our courtyard, so I must try it for you." After that, he also poured himself a cup. .

Out of politeness, Sun Zan blew a few blows and then took a sip.I just feel a stream of nectar spreading through my teeth with the fragrance of tea. The tea is strong but not bitter, fragrant but not astringent. It makes people feel cool and comfortable in this scorching summer.

"It is indeed good tea." Sun Zan said, then put down the teacup.

When Sun Zhilu saw this, he knew that his little nephew had something on his mind, so he said straight to the point: "You boy, I don't usually see you say a few words to me. If you take the initiative to come today, there must be something important. You just say , as an uncle, there is nothing you shouldn’t do.”

Sun Zan stood up and thanked him before sitting down: "It's not a big deal. It's just that my nephew saw a boy next to my fourth uncle in my yard last night. It didn't matter at first, but I entered Qiu is about to take the exam, and my mother is very nervous about it. She refuses to let go of the slightest disturbance. Fortunately, she just bumped into me yesterday. If she bumped into her, she would be in trouble. But this person is the fourth uncle's after all. , my nephew still wants to ask my fourth uncle what he means."

It turned out to be this one.

Sun Zhilu frowned, realizing what he meant, and asked, "Which one?"

"My fourth uncle's wet nurse, the son of Aunt Shang, is usually called He Da Da."

It's He Chengxiang again.Sun Zhilu only felt his temples twitching when he heard the name. He put his hand on his forehead and let out a long sigh: "I knew it when you said it like that. It turned out to be the fourth uncle's fault. He didn't discipline the servant well and called him nephew instead." Don't worry. Don't worry, I will handle this matter and I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Uncle Lao is right over there."

Sun Zhilu nodded.

I caught him and asked him a few questions, such as how Qiu Wei's preparations were going, how well his second sister-in-law was, and whether there was anything he didn't know about his homework.

Sun Zan also answered them one by one, no one was impatient.

When the two of them had finished drinking tea and it was almost noon, Sun Zan took his leave.

Poor Sun Zhilu was so full that his eyelids were fighting up and down, and his eyes were so noisy that he wanted to run away from home. He was almost out of his mind.As soon as Sun Zan left, he turned around and fell into the inner room, covered himself with a quilt, and fell asleep day and night.
.
Since then, Xue Ke has returned to his normal routine for a while.

It was as if that incident had never happened, but the third young master still treated her with a lukewarm attitude. Apart from asking for more tea, meal, and sorting out the books, he never said anything else to her.

She originally had some speculations, thinking that the third young master might have intentionally helped her out that day, and she wanted to find a chance to thank him.But after observing this for a few days, he decisively rejected this guess and gave up the idea immediately.

A few days passed like this, and just when she thought the matter was over, suddenly a big commotion started in the yard of the second room because of it——

"Second Grandma, my servant went out with me to check it out. I entered the third young master's study at night. The door was locked from the inside. I kept guard outside for a long time with the light on all night."

Tu Xiang knelt in front of Second Grandma Xue and told the story word for word, adding some exaggerations and extracting the key points, making the whole story more colorful and intriguing.

"You bastard." As expected, when Mistress Xue heard this, she actively clenched the armrests of the carved chair she was sitting on until her knuckles turned white. She spoke through gritted teeth, struggling to speak every word. Go out.

Tu Xiang knelt down, pretending to be submissive, and secretly looked at Grandma Xue's expression with great pleasure.

This businessman is a snow guest.

Who told her to steal her position in front of the third young master? When she heard that she was coming to the second room, she pretended to be evasive. Now that she got the opportunity, she eagerly approached the master.

To put it bluntly, we are all second-class maids, and I am prettier than her. How come I am reduced to sweeping the floor every day and being stared at and punished by my second mistress every day, but she is lazy and playful, and my third brother is still willing to get close to her? .

This injustice has been building up in her heart for a long time.

When I saw Third Brother going out this morning, he saw no one was around and couldn't help but rush up to talk to him.

But just after she had greeted her, before she even had a chance to introduce her name, the third brother stepped back as if he had seen a ghost. He didn't even give her the time to say another word, so he turned around and ran away. left.

Until this moment, she couldn't help but think of the snow guest who happened to see him that night when he went to the third brother's study.

She was really dissatisfied with having the same person but different destiny.

When Mistress Xue heard the news, she was so angry that she couldn't hold the tea cup steady. Her eyes widened and she shouted to the servants outside: "Come here! Come here!"

"Go and bring that little Langho over here, let me, me, me... make sure I don't chop off her legs!"

She roared and felt the whole room shake.

Seeing this, Grandma Guan on the side glanced at Tu Xiang, who was kneeling down and bowing her head in silence. After a second thought, she stepped forward to help Second Grandma Xue calm down and comforted her: "Second Grandma, don't hurt your body. The matter has not yet been decided, so please ask someone first, maybe there is some reason behind it?"

"What other reason could there be!" Second Grandma Xue couldn't hear anything and slapped the corner table at her hand twice, "A man and a woman alone, living in the dark! What other reason could there be! I thought she was honest and sensible. Then she was sent to Brother Zan, where is she? She did such an ungrateful and shameless thing to me, I wish I could skin her fox skin myself!"

Grandma Guan saw that she was becoming more and more unseemly as she spoke, so she could only remind her: "Grandma, after all, this is the person sent by the old lady. Don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face."

"I haven't even gone to that old woman yet to bring my son down—"

Before she could finish speaking, Grandma Guan was so excited that she quickly covered this person's mouth: "Grandma, you can't say this!"

Second Grandma Xue calmed down a little and realized that she had indeed lost her words. She awkwardly warned the servants below: "Whoever dares to spread a word, be careful I tear her mouth to pieces."

The people below all said yes.

Taking this opportunity, Grandma Guan persuaded her nicely for a while, and not long after, a servant came here with Snow Guest.
