Chapter 373
"Miss, this servant has given you a bowl of bird's nest porridge, drink it while it's hot!" Qiaolan walked in with a bowl of porridge.

"I'm not hungry, let's put it aside for now!" Xia Qingge withdrew his thoughts, lowered his head, picked up the brush just now and began to draw patterns on the paper.

Qiaolan shook her head helplessly, "You can't do this. You haven't had a good meal for two days. If you go on like this, you will get sick sooner or later. Mother Jiang specially told the slaves to take good care of them when they returned home. your body!"

Glancing at the bird's nest in front of his eyes, Xia Qingge sighed, put down the brush in his hand, picked up the spoon and took a sip slowly.

"How is Mother Jiang recovering?"

Seeing Xia Qingge start to drink the porridge, Qiaolan replied with a satisfied chuckle, "I'm much better now, although I can't get out of bed and walk around, but Master Yunzheng specially sat down on a detachable bamboo chair for Nanny Jiang. When the weather is fine, Young Master Yunzheng and Big Brother Jiang Cheng will carry Mother Jiang out to bask in the sun, and now her complexion is much ruddy."

"Well, it will be better to recuperate slowly, thanks to Yunzheng's cleverness, he came up with such a good way!"

"That's right, Mr. Yunzheng is not only a good person, but also a good reader. I feel that he will be the first in the autumn exam in a few days."

After listening to Qiaolan's words, Xia Qingge's gloomy face had a slight look of relief, "I hope so! By the way, Wushuang is still at the mourning hall?"

"Well, I haven't moved since the servant accompanied her to guard the mourning hall last night. Miss, the servant feels that Wushuang is not the same as before when she comes back this time!"

"Oh?" Xia Qingge slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiaolan with interest, "What's the difference?"

Qiaolan thought about it carefully, then she tightened her eyebrows before she said slowly, "This servant feels that with Wushuang's temperament, if Xichun is killed, she will definitely be arguing every day to avenge Xichun, but now Wushuang, although every day They all guarded tightly in Xichun's mourning hall, but they didn't hear her say a word of revenge, and the servants were afraid that Xichun's death would have too much impact on her."

Xia Qingge sighed, and said quietly, "Even you can see it, it seems that Wushuang really can't make people worry this time, Qiaolan, don't do other things these few days, just follow Wushuang closely at every step, don't worry." Don't let her walk out of the yard alone."

"Yes, it's for the servant's sake." Qiaolan saw the melancholy on her young lady's face, and felt quite nervous Wushuang.

"By the way miss, young master Yunzheng sent a letter today, saying that the young master is clamoring to come back. Do you think you will take the young master back from Master Yunzheng after Xichun is resettled?"

Xia Qingge thought for a while, then shook his head, "Don't worry, let Suhe stay with Yunzheng first. With Yunzheng's talent, if Suhe stays with him for a long time, he will definitely benefit a lot from it!"

Qiaolan instantly understood Xia Qingge's deep meaning for Suhe, nodded in agreement and said, "Miss is absolutely right, and the young master is under the supervision of Brother Jinghong, it is definitely much safer than staying in the mansion."

Outside the gate of Zixia Courtyard, Zhao Mama came slowly along with a dozen maidservants. Standing outside the gate, she turned around and glanced at the line of maidservants behind her. A woman who was about [-] last year: "Among the maids selected today, some of them will serve our eldest lady in the future. I will take you to meet my eldest lady later. My old woman's ugly words will be mentioned earlier. , if there is someone in your group who has unclean hands and feet, long mouth, and likes to make irresponsible remarks, immediately stand up and follow your mother to leave. My eldest lady is gentle but her eyes can’t tolerate sand. I understand. ?"

"Understood!" Twelve girls in plain skirts answered in unison, and the toothmaid standing beside her smiled and walked to Mother Zhao.

"I said mother, don't worry, I, Chen Cainiang, is a well-known matchmaker in our capital generation. The girls I choose are all careful and clever. I guarantee that the things you just said will not appear."

Zhao Nanny snorted coldly, "Since you promised in person, I hope that these maids you brought will be liked by my eldest lady!"

"It's natural." Chen Cainiang looked old and godlike, and the paper-white powder on her face had accumulated creases on her charming face. She leaned close to Mother Zhao and asked in a low voice: "By the way, Mother Zhao, Today, the slave family has the courage to bring people to the Duke's mansion. You don't know that those officers and soldiers standing at the gate of the Duke's mansion have vicious faces. If the slave family says something that is not pleasant to you, tell the slave family the truth. , will something happen to Xiuguo Mansion?"

Zhao Nanny gave Chen Cainiang a contemptuous glance, her eyes turned cold instantly, and she replied loudly, "Are you blind when I am dignified about the hundred-year-old foundation of Xiuguogongfu? The emperor just thoroughly investigated the Zhenguogongfu, and only temporarily guarded the other mansions. That's all, the imperial order will definitely be revoked in a few days. Besides, my eldest lady is the grandniece of the empress dowager, the niece of the concubine de concubine, and the precious granddaughter of the old matriarch of Rongguo's mansion. What do you think, With such a background, what will happen to our Duke Xiu?"

Seeing the stern look on Zhao Nanny's face, Chen Cainiang immediately bowed her head and stretched out her hand to slap herself, "Look, I'm just a short-sighted person, or is it because you are in a rich family and have a long-term vision? You're talking nonsense, mama, don't take offense." Thinking about the several hundred taels of silver from the Xiuguo mansion, Chen Cainiang secretly scolded herself for talking too much, and almost let the cooked duck fly away, although the Xiuguo mansion is currently being strictly guarded by the Imperial Forest Army But two or three days have passed, but the emperor has not issued an order for a verdict. Besides, even if the emperor really ransacked the Xia Mansion, it has nothing to do with her, Chen Cainiang. It's done, let's care about their future life and death.

"Okay, let's go in!" Zhao Mama's face was full of dissatisfaction with Chen Cainiang, and she was too lazy to talk to her, so she turned and walked into the courtyard first.

"Miss, Mrs. Chen brought twelve maidservants to show you, Miss!" Zhao Momo walked into Xia Qingge's room and immediately saluted.

Xia Qingge raised his head and glanced at Zhao Nanny lightly, then looked past her at the group of people waiting outside the door.

"Let them go to the living room and wait for me. I'll go after I clean up."

"Yes, this old slave will give you an order." Zhao Nanny nodded in response, turned around and walked out of Xia Qingge's study.

After Zhao Momo left, Qiaolan turned her face and asked worriedly, "Miss chooses a maid from the matchmaker at this critical moment, because I'm afraid that those who are interested will take this opportunity to mislead her."

"It's very reasonable for you to be worried. That's why I have to verify this batch of maids myself before I can rest assured." Xia Qingge smiled coldly, and stood up, "Let's go, accompany me to experience it."
