Resourceful beauty

Chapter 62

Chen Mei looked at the little girl who was about eight or nine years old in front of her, and then at Fang Ruxuan, with some surprise on her face.

The little maid looked timid, and although she was also respectful, she could tell at a closer look that she had not been learning the rules from the nuns in the yard for a long time. Although she was wearing brand new clothes, her arms were as thin as sticks. It can be seen that he has suffered a lot in the past.

But this is not uncommon, the maids bought by everyone's big family are all orphans from outside, or they are sold by poor families who can't survive, and their bodies can't be so thick.

There was nothing strange about this little maid, what was strange was the look on Fang Ruxuan's face.

Surprised and delighted, there was also a sense of reunion after a long absence, as if she and this little maid knew each other.

"Ruxuan, do you know her?"

Chen Mei glanced at Ding Xiang and Su Ye who also looked suspicious, and then asked Fang Ruxuan out loud.

Fang Ruxuan regained consciousness.

"I've seen it once before..."

After speaking vaguely, Fang Ruxuan smiled at the nervous Taoye, and asked softly: "Taoye, how is the steward mother treating you?"

"Returning to the two ladies, the slaves are very good."

As a slave, how can you say that the master's family is not good, Tao Ye finished answering in a low voice, leaned over and said: "Do you have any errands for the two young ladies? If not, the servants will go back to Wutong Garden."

In the previous life, Taoye was the only person Fang Ruxuan had friends with in Wutong Garden, and Taoye was finally executed by Qiu Shumin because of Fang Ruxuan.

In this life, as soon as Fang Ruxuan returned to the capital, he sent people to look for Taoye in the villages on the outskirts of Beijing, but there was no result. Unexpectedly, things returned to the way they were in the previous life, and Taoye eventually became a member of the Qiu Mansion. maid.

Seeing Taoye's nervous expression, Fang Ruxuan knew that she was wary of herself, she sighed helplessly, and asked instead: "Is the Lanxi girl sent by the palace in Wutongyuan?"

Taoye nodded, "Miss Lanxi doesn't go out much every day, at this moment, she should be doing embroidery work in the house."

"You help me invite her to come here, okay?"

Just by looking at Taoye's expression, she knew that Lanxi's situation in the Qiu Mansion was not good, and she wanted Lanxi to take care of Taoye, Fang Ruxuan said softly.

Tao Ye responded, seeing that Fang Ruxuan had no more orders, she turned around and trotted away.

Chen Mei had many questions in her mind, but after all, she was still in the Qiu Mansion at the moment, so she couldn't say much. She looked at Tao Ye a few more times, and if she wanted to ask Fang Ruxuan, she never asked.

Within a quarter of an hour, Lan Xi followed behind Tao Ye.

Knowing that Lanxi was Fang Ruyu's maid, and she was sent to the Qiu Mansion because of Fang Ruyu's crime, Chen Mei knew that it must be a private matter for Fang Ruxuan to seek her at this moment, and she was afraid that Lanxi would have concerns, so Chen Mei got up and took a few maids to the garden to admire her. it took.

Lan Xi saluted and got up, and asked with a blank expression: "I don't know what orders Miss Six has for calling the servants?"

Fang Ruxuan didn't answer, but asked instead: "How are you doing?"

There was a slight looseness on Lan Xi's face.

Ever since she was sent to the Qiu Mansion, Lan Xi never heard about Fang Ruyu from other people. Even if she came to the Qiu Mansion again as a guest, Fang Ruyu never saw Lan Xi, and she never even let Lan Zhi go to see her.

Lan Xi completely gave up on the old master who had served him so carefully for so many years.

For so long, Fang Ruxuan was the only person who asked her how she was doing.

With a wry smile, Lan Xi's eyes fell on the colorful flowers in the garden, "The life of a servant is probably like this, what's so good about it?"

In the past, Lan Xi thought to herself that when the second young lady got married, she would definitely follow the young lady to the uncle's house as a dowry.

At that time, the second young lady will definitely promise her to the steward of the front yard, or the capable servant next to the uncle, and if they get married, she can still be the steward's wife by the young lady's side.

Unexpectedly, it will end like this.

"Lanxi, when I called you, you must have felt that I had something to tell you, and the few words I told you before you left the palace were just for today, right?"

Fang Ruxuan asked in a deep voice.

Lan Xi raised his eyelids and said perfunctorily, "I don't dare."

Whether or not he thinks so, only Lan Xi knows in his heart.

Fang Ruxuan didn't entangle her with this issue, and said in a matter-of-fact way: "I did what I did that day because you gave me a helping hand, so when the time is right, I'm willing to do the same to you."

Lan Xi remembered the pastry she handed to Fang Ruxuan when she was in the Jiangbei Palace.

Thinking of this, Lan Xi's face softened slightly.

"I have nothing to gain from you. I just want to ask you if you are doing well and if there is anything I can do to help you. So, don't worry."

Fang Ruxuan said softly.

Thinking of the cold faces and blank eyes she had suffered in Wutong Garden in the past few months, and thinking of the gossip she had heard, Lan Xi only felt like she was living in a magic cave. At this moment, Fang Ruxuan's caring words made her feel soft, and she fell down immediately. Tears come.

"Miss Six, I beg you to save this servant, this life is worse than death, this servant will never want to live it again..."

Lan Xi fell to his knees and begged.

"You have been sent to the Qiu Mansion. In name, you are already Qiu Ming's concubine. Therefore, unless you die, you will not be able to leave the Qiu Mansion."

Fang Ruxuan's words made Lanxi's face turn pale in an instant.

Actually, how could Lanxi herself not know?It's just that Fang Ruxuan's concern ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart. Now that the hope has been broken, Lan Xi only feels that the days to come will be dark.

"I can't take you out of the Qiu Mansion, but I can teach you how to live well in the Qiu Mansion."

Seeing that Lanxi was in despair, Fang Ruxuan expressed her intention.

Lan Xi regained his energy all of a sudden.

Looking up at Fang Ruxuan, Lan Xi asked eagerly, "Miss Six, tell me."

Xu felt that the next topic was not good. Fang Ruxuan looked around to see if anyone could hear their conversation. Fang Ruxuan asked, "Tell me the truth about your situation first."

Lan Xi bit her lip, and spoke out the ridicule and disdain that the nuns in charge and the maidservants in Wutong Garden had for her.

When she heard that even Qiu Ming didn't like her and she could only do embroidery work in the room every day, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help shaking her head helplessly, "You didn't say anything about what I told you that day. Listen to it, otherwise, how could you be in this situation today?"

Lan Xi was a little confused.

Fang Ruxuan pondered for a while, and said to Lan Xi analytically: "Now beside Qiu Ming, not to mention the young lady, there is not even a concubine. You entered the Qiu mansion as a concubine. In the Indus Garden, apart from Qiu Ming Ming is your greatest, how can you let those people bully you?"

Asking back, Fang Ruxuan continued, seeing Lan Xi muttering and trying to defend herself, "I told you that day, the first thing you have to do when you come here is to win over Qiu Ming, as long as he likes you and is willing to protect you , then, no one would dare to treat you like this."

"But he..."

Lan Xi wanted to say that Qiu Ming was a fool, he couldn't tell whether others treated him well or badly.

The matter has come to this point, Fang Ruxuan can't blame Lanxi too much, after all, this is her own life, and it is her responsibility to live a bad life, but thinking that Lanxi is the one who left from Prince Qi's mansion, there will be trouble in Qiu's mansion in the future, Lanxi It must be clearer than the people outside, Fang Ruxuan decided to teach her patiently.

As for whether Lanxi will do things for her in the future, Fang Ruxuan believes that people's hearts are made of meat, as long as Lanxi knows that Fang Ruxuan is really for her good, she will be willing.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten her throat, Fang Ruxuan said patiently: "Even if Qiu Ming is a fool, as long as the Qiu Mansion is here, his status in the Qiu Mansion will not change. So, the only thing you have to do now is to let Qiu Ming recognizes you and treats you wholeheartedly. At that time, even if Qiu Ming marries a wife, you will be irreplaceable in his heart. If you let Mrs. Qiu recognize you again, then your status in the Qiu Mansion will be It's solid."

Of course, Lan Xi knew all these things, but the key now was that Qiu Ming didn't buy into her at all.

After asking her own question, Lan Xi muttered a little discouraged: "Miss Six, he plays in the yard every day except eating and sleeping. Whenever the slaves approach him, they are pushed away by him and those people in annoyance."

Fang Ruxuan thought for a while, and gave Lanxi an idea: "Qiu Ming is like a child, so you have to treat him with a child's thinking. I remember that Qiu Ming always has a purse on his body, presumably he likes fragrance Yes, so, you make a few sachets with fresh and special scents and wear them with you. If he smells them, he will naturally pay attention to you. After that, you just follow him and make him feel the most comfortable and fun with you , that’s it.”

This conversation, not to mention Fang Ruyu, who was as close as Lan Zhi, never talked to Lan Xi, Lan Xi was very moved.

And Fang Ruxuan also believes that as long as Lanxi can get into Qiu Ming's eyes, there will be no problem in how to please Mrs. Qiu or other people in the future, given Lanxi's extraordinary intelligence.

Qiu Shumin just doesn't like Fang Ruxuan, but she still disdains a maid like Lanxi. Therefore, with Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Ming protecting Lanxi, her life in Wutong Garden will not be too sad in the future.

After receiving this advice, Lan Xi was very grateful, kowtowed to Fang Ruxuan and said, "Miss Six's teachings, I will be grateful to you, and if you want my servant to do something for you in the future, I will never refuse."

Although it is just a title, "Miss Six" and "Miss" are completely different.

Fang Ruxuan nodded and told Lan Xi to stand up.

Wiping away the tears on her face, Lan Xi looked up at Fang Ruxuan and asked, "Miss, do you have anything to tell your servant?"

Fang Ruxuan thought for a while, and said softly: "There is nothing to tell you. Now, the most important thing is to live your own life well. When you have a status in Wutong Garden, take care of that Taoye Your little maid, okay?"

Although she didn't know the purpose of Fang Ruxuan's order, Lan Xi still nodded without hesitation.
