first princess

Chapter 53
"Hmph! How much worse is her stuff compared to mine?" Qin Fangyi put her hands on her chest, why should she be as knowledgeable as a concubine who is about to get married?No matter how big Shui Linglong is, can she be bigger than the princess?Qin Fangyi comforted herself, and her mood gradually stabilized. She glanced at Zhao's mother and found that she was hesitant to speak, so she asked, "What else do you want to say?"

Zhao's mother smiled sheepishly: "Oh, I just wanted to ask you if there is anything you would like to eat for lunch. I will make it for you in the small kitchen."

Qin Fangyi waved her hand: "Everything smells like that! Has Aunt Zhou made any progress recently?"

"It's very quiet. Even after hearing the news that Miss Fourth has become a precious person, I didn't fuss about anything. I should eat and sleep. Anyway, it's very good." Mother Zhao responded respectfully.

Qin Fangyi said impatiently: "Okay, what are you supposed to do, do you want to stick here as a road sign?"

This sentence dispelled Zhao's mother's last ounce of courage to tell the news she heard from the Yao family's mother-in-law. Why speak out about things that are speculative?Besides, if it is true, Madam and Master can't help it, can't they?

In the afternoon, there was a thunderstorm in the originally clear sky, and then, dark clouds enveloped the sky above the capital, and a flash of lightning flashed across, tearing a hole in the sky like a ruthless palm, and the heavy rain fell instantly. The time fell, like thousands of stitches and threads stitching the universe tightly.

"Oh! Ye Mao just went out with Miss' Qin in his arms, without an umbrella! This servant will send it to her right away!" Mother Zhong hurriedly put down her work, put on a coir raincoat, picked up two umbrellas and rushed into the rain.

Zhi Fan closed the doors and windows, the room became much darker at once, she lit a candle again, and only then did there be some light.

Shui Linglong read the book for a while, her eyes were a little bit dry, she rubbed it slightly, and said softly: "The spring rain is here, the weather won't be cold anymore, put away all the winter clothes you need."

"Yes!"

"Warm your hair and cover it with hair, don't collect it yet, wait until the weather is sunny."

The eldest lady has always only asked about the handling of clothing and jewelry, why is she making an exception today?Zhifan's eyelashes trembled, and she quickly remembered that the hand warmer was made of Huahong and Liulu. The eldest lady mentioned this unintentionally or intentionally, could it be... Zhifan calmed down and listened to the sound of rain for a while, then said: "My dear Miss, I heard that Liu Lu was spanked, I have worked with her before, and I want to give her a bottle of wound medicine."

Shui Linglong didn't object!
After Zhi Fan took the wound medicine and left, the maid at the door reported that Mother Wang had come.

Mama Wang was obviously caught in the rain halfway, and she was wet all over, and her shoes could make a splashing sound when she walked.Mama Wang stood at the door and hesitated to enter, Shui Linglong said kindly, "Mama Wang, please come in and sit down, I will ask Ah Si to prepare a pair of dry shoes for you."

Mama Wang looked carefully at Shui Linglong's eyes, and found that her eyes were bright and clear like water, and she didn't seem to be talking politely, so she walked in with a smile on her face: "You are really troublesome, Miss!"

"Mother, why do you have to be so polite to me? You must have come here because of me, and this suffering is also because of me." Shui Linglong said with a smile, and then told Ah Si, "Mother Zhong made a few new ones a few days ago. A pair of thick-soled cloth shoes are placed in the low cabinet next to my wooden couch, you go and get a pair, and also, use a dry handkerchief to wipe your mother's face. Ah Ji serves tea!"

"Yes!" The two were ordered, and hurriedly put down the embroidery work in their hands, and started to work on their own.

A hint of admiration appeared in Ms. Wang's eyes. The eldest lady was really different from the other ladies, she did everything without leaking: "Thank you, eldest lady!" Her tone was very sincere!
Ah Ji served tea, Ah Si brought new shoes, Shui Linglong picked up the teacup and said, "Serve mom to put them on."

Ah Si and Ah Ji were startled for a moment, and then bowed together. Mother Wang was startled, and reached out her hand to stop her: "Oh! You can't do this! I'll just do it myself!" They are just two second-class maids, and it is true that they are so filial to her. It was a matter of course, but the other party was the eldest lady's maid, so that was another matter.

Shui Linglong smiled slightly, and her tone was clear: "Mom, don't spoil them! How many years have you stayed in the mansion, and how many years have they stayed in the mansion? How much contribution have you made to the mansion, and how much have they contributed to it?" How much contribution has the mansion made? What kind of status should do what kind of things! According to me, it is their blessing to honor you! You come to the Fushouyuan to represent the old lady! Don't talk about them, I I should offer you a cup of tea! It is important for people to have self-knowledge, so that they will not be arrogant and complacent and make mistakes. Mom, do you think this is the case?"

Both Ah Si and Ah Ji's faces turned white!Ms. Wang understood that the eldest lady was using her to beat up the two maidservants who were not calm enough!Mama Wang stretched out her feet cooperatively, and accepted Ah Si and Ah Ji's service very calmly. Can’t see but can’t hear? In fact, the master’s heart seems to be clear, but he’s too lazy to be serious with a servant girl! I really can’t see it someday, and find a good time to send someone to sell it. It’s not worth it for the master. Get angry!"

Shui Linglong took a sip of tea, glanced at Ah Si and Ah Ji who were trembling from the corner of her eye, and said with a smile: "It is reasonable for the people who work around the old lady to talk! In the future, when Mom is free, I will learn more from you." study!"

"Miss, you are welcome!" Mother Wang's smile was full of flattery.

"By the way, mom is looking for me, but the old lady has something to do?" At this time, Ah Si and Ah Ji had already changed Mama Wang's shoes, Mama Wang took a dry towel and wiped her face, Shui Linglong told them to pack up their things and leave.

After Ah Si and Ah Ji walked away tremblingly, Mama Wang took out a box of dowry from her bosom, leaned over slightly, and said, "The third princess held a birthday banquet, and the old lady asked the servants to give you some jewelry. It's missing, but it's a little bit of her heart."

Did the old lady feel that she was too close to Shui Lingxi and neglected her in front of Zhang Yuanjue?Shui Linglong smiled slightly, took it, looked at it, and showed a happy expression: "It's so beautiful! When the rain stops, I will go to pay my respects to the old lady myself!"

Mama Wang waved her hand: "That's not necessary, the old lady has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and I'm afraid she has already rested now."

"Lack of energy?" Shui Linglong was puzzled.

Ms. Wang looked around, lowered her volume, and sighed: "Madam is too busy! While preparing for your marriage with the second young lady, and at the same time making arrangements for the two young masters' reunions, she is very busy."

This is only part of the reason, the biggest sticking point is still in Shui Chenxiang, the old lady is not reconciled to her daughter falling from heaven to hell, and even more reconciled to a concubine's granddaughter robbing her daughter's child.Shui Linglong patted the center of her eyebrows, and said: "This time the birthday banquet, the old lady said she will go?"

Ms. Wang looked worried: "She said she was going!" The old lady's body...is not as good as before!

A trace of confusion flashed in Shui Linglong's eyes: "The old lady is willing to enter the palace?" How embarrassing!My daughter has just been thrown into the cold palace, I'm afraid the queen and the third concubine won't give her any good looks!

Mama Wang smiled bitterly: "No, this banquet will be held at Yao's house."

Why did you go to Yao's house?Could it be that the eleventh prince was scratched by a cat, and the entire palace was under martial law?Something must have happened to the palace, and the third princess had no choice but to move the birthday banquet. What could it be?Thinking of her big fight with Zhuge Xi, this birthday party... Seriously, she doesn't want to go!But she really owed the third princess one favor after another, so she had to go anyway!
And since it's the third princess's birthday, Guo Yan...will come too.

I was hugged by him!

so awkward!
Ms. Zhong chased out of Lingxiang Courtyard with an umbrella, but Ye Mao walked too fast, she didn't see Ye Mao until she chased to Shui Lingqing's courtyard.She leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. Seeing that it was the eldest lady's nurse, Mrs. Liu at the door hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe her face, and then helped her to rest in her own room: "Sister Zhong, look at you. How tired are you? If you have anything to do, just tell me! I'll do it for you!"

Mama Zhong was wearing a coir raincoat, she didn't get much rain, she was wet with sweat, she was so tired that she could barely breathe, Mrs. Liu was frightened, and quickly poured her a cup of herbal tea: "Sister Zhong! You can drink as soon as you want Mouth tea!"

There was still an oily smell in the tea, and Mother Zhong frowned, and Mrs. Liu's scalp tingled, and she withdrew the cup in embarrassment: "I'm sorry! I... I'll find the girl Qiaoer next door to get some good tea, wait a moment !"

Mama Zhong snatched the cup from her hand and drank it with a gulp. After drinking the tea, she finally recovered a bit, but she was still very tired. Mrs. Liu was very pleasantly surprised!Gosh!Mother Zhong drank her tea!A big smile appeared on her face: "Just tell me, I'll run errands for you!"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just gave Ye Mao an umbrella in case she would get wet. Unfortunately, I'm old and useless, so I didn't catch up." Mother Zhong explained panting slightly.

Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "This one! I'll give it to you! You can just rest here!"

Mrs. Liu put on her coir raincoat by herself, took an umbrella and went to the Chuihua Gate. When she was told that Ye Mao followed Fifth Miss to Aunt Feng's yard, she followed her with clean steps. I suffered hardships in the Zhuangzi with the eldest lady, but now the hardships are all rewarding, how wonderful! The eldest lady is a concubine, but not only is she highly valued by the old lady, but she also got rid of the bad luck of being a concubine. This is what the fifth lady dreams of If you don't come!" Follow Fifth Miss, I'm afraid... there's no future!Even if she intends to find a good place, whose yard would be short of a maid?

"Ouch!"

The contemplative Mrs. Liu suddenly collided with a maid carrying a bundle!Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand to support the other party: "Girl, are you okay? Which yard is it? Yo! It's Miss A Rong!"

A Rong hastily tucked away the bag that had spread out, and glared at her, but didn't speak, and went straight into the yard.

Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, acting mysteriously, did she think she didn't see it?Not just some fabric!What's so rare?Aunt Feng's servants are more dignified than the people around the eldest lady!snort!
Not long after, Ye Mao came out, and Mrs. Liu immediately put on a smiling face: "Miss Ye Mao! I brought you an umbrella for Mother Zhong!"

Ye Mao was slightly taken aback: "Oh, thank you very much!"

Liu Lu was lying on the bed, crying loudly under the quilt, she cried that she was a bitch!Use a hot face to stick someone's cold butt!Don't put a good sweet pastry, but go to pick up some hot potatoes!She could see that the eldest young master not only hated her, but also hated Biqing and Lan'er. If not, why did he let the three of them make trouble every day, until they were finally found out and kicked out of the yard together ?

When Zhi Fan entered the door, she heard Liu Lu's suppressed cry, she really knew this earlier, why bother?She cleared her throat: "Liu Lu!"

Liu Lu was startled in shock, poked her head out from under the quilt, took a look and quickly shrank back: "You came to see my jokes! Look at it! I used to be a first-class maid, eating well and dressing well. , you and Ye Mao have to eat my leftover food, and now you two are living a prosperous life, and people fawn on you wherever you go! I... I have become a poor servant girl in the miscellaneous courtyard! You can relieve your anger! Can you Laugh hard!"

Zhifan braved the rain to see her, but she misunderstood the meaning, and immediately became angry: "You are really... unreasonable! How much do you think your temper has suffered? Do you think everyone is like you Small belly and chicken intestines? Kindly treat it like a donkey's liver and lungs, and I've come today for nothing!"

Liu Lu lifted the quilt on top of her head and said angrily, "Yes! I'm a small belly, but I'm not as hypocritical as you! How dare you swear to God that you came to see me entirely out of your own intention? Who knows what you have planned? Heart?"

Zhi Fan's heart skipped a beat, the original intention was on the one hand, and the young lady's meaning was on the other hand, if she only had the original intention without the eldest lady's acquiescence, she would not have the guts to come here, of course she would not tell Liu Lu about this.She took a deep breath: "Liu Lu! Don't you think your words are too hurtful? What kind of heart do you deserve for my current behavior? You are all maids who work hard for others! Why am I laughing at you? I wish all the maids I live a good life, so I can live a good life without trouble! Why do you have to rack your brains all day long, wondering whether the master hates me or thinks highly of me?"

Hearing Zhifan's words, Liu Lu couldn't help being startled, Zhifan... isn't life as glamorous as it appears?Liu Lu tentatively sneered: "You have to think hard? Who are you cheating? The inner courtyard belongs to your most beloved lady, even Ye Mao is no better than you!"

"That's because I'm the only servant in the inner courtyard who has signed a death contract!" Zhi Fan bit out a sentence that seemed to be biting out with all his might, making Liu Lu tremble all over, and there was a choked voice in Zhi Fan's words, "Zhong My mother is the wet nurse of the young lady, and this level of affection is no different from that of a adoptive mother, so I won’t talk about it. You and Ye Mao are both the sons of the mansion. As long as you don’t commit the capital crime like Huahong, at most you will be transferred to another place to work , What’s wrong with being a rough servant girl? You still think it’s bad to make a rough servant girl? There are frozen bones on the streets of Zhumen’s wine and meat, no matter how bad the maid is, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain! Release the mansion! It is said to be released, but in fact it is expelled! I am alone, holding a little money, and I may be robbed of it before I walk two streets! These are nothing, if you encounter evildoers... that is all to go What happens in the kiln!"

At the end of the talk, Zhi Fan covered his face and cried!Eight years ago, she saw with her own eyes the little girl who was with her. She was three years older than her, only ten or eleven years old. She turned around and sold into a brothel...

She doesn't want to live like that!She told herself that even if she knelt down and licked her master's toes, it would be better than being ruined by those heartless people!
