in spring

150 Threat
Jinxiu didn't say anything else, just glanced at the water basin in Chunying's hand, and said, "This is for the waitress to wash her face? The butler is in the room, it's not convenient at this time, you just take it away, and wait for the people to leave before delivering water Come up." After saying that, he turned back to the house.

From a distance, Chunying saw a screen in the room, and sitting in front of the screen was a man in his 50s or [-]s, wearing fine cloth clothes, who bowed his head respectfully and answered.

She waited alone, and then involuntarily remembered the situation when Yulan bumped into her just now.Why is Yulan running in a panic?Looking at Jinxiu's face, she knew it must be something bad. Could it be that she was eavesdropping again?The butler of the Huo Mansion is reporting to Miss Biao, it must be some housework or something, what's so good about that?

Thinking about it carefully, Magnolia was temporarily replaced with Yulan before departure, which is also a bit weird.It's fine for Linglong to be injured for no reason, but Nan Qi obviously packed her things early in the morning, and then followed Miss Biao to the old lady's place to say goodbye, how could she disappear halfway?Her luggage is clearly on the carriage, so it can be seen that she intends to follow her. Even if she can't find anyone for a while, just send someone to search carefully. Such a large living person will never disappear, and the Huo family's old house is not far from the Hou's mansion. , Why did my wife send Magnolia so impatiently?What's even more strange is that Yulan immediately followed with her luggage. When did she pack her things?As if he knew that he would go out.

Chun Ying faintly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but feel chills in her heart.Yulan came to Huo's house, she must have a conspiracy, she probably wanted to inquire about something, maybe she was eavesdropping on someone just now, but was discovered by Jinxiu, and ran away in a panic, so she was careless on the way Hit yourself.Thinking of this, Chunying was also a little annoyed, now the maids from Hou's mansion are the only two of them living in Huo's mansion, can Yulan calm down a bit?Don't implicate her if something happens!
She was still angry there, but she heard someone talking loudly nearby. When she listened carefully, one of the voices looked like Yulan's.She hesitated for a moment, then followed the sound and saw that it was a woman guarding the second gate who was arguing with Yulan, which had already attracted two passing daughters-in-law to watch.

Yulan blushed, with a look of anxiety in her eyes, she scolded the old woman: "Mom is so unreasonable! I just want to check if my luggage has been brought in. You don't need to say such a big Call?!"

The old woman snorted, "There is a person in charge of the luggage who will take the girl's things into the courtyard. The girl doesn't ask anyone, but runs out to search for the sedan chair? I don't know what the rules are in the Qingguohou Mansion, I only know that in our Huo Mansion, the maids are only allowed to walk in the inner courtyard, and they are not allowed to go out of the second gate without a clear order! It doesn't matter if I let you out, let the outside know, I thought our house was not careful, and let the maids in the inner courtyard go to the outer courtyard at will Talking to people! When the time comes, I will ruin my reputation and tell the housekeeper to punish me for my poor guarding. Will the girl still be punished for me?!"

Yulan was both ashamed and angry, seeing someone approaching from a distance, fearing to alarm Miss Biao, she gritted her teeth, turned her head and left.The woman snorted softly, grabbed a bench, put it next to the second door, and sat down on it.

Yulan cursed secretly all the way back to the inner courtyard, Chunying stood in front of her coldly, frowned and said, "What are you going out for? The luggage is all in the room, Dong'er and the others helped you to the room."

Yulan moved her mouth, and said with a smirk, "I don't know? It was a mess just now, and I thought they didn't bring my things in."

"How is it possible? Those sedan chairs and entourage are all from the Hou family, and the Huo family didn't prepare their beds. Naturally, they will go back soon, and the luggage was unloaded immediately." Chunying stared suspiciously She glanced at her, "And what were you up to just now? You weren't there when we were packing Miss Biao's things, and you weren't there when I was packing my own luggage, but you were flustered when I brought water to Ms. Biao to wash her face." I don't care what you are going to do, but this is not the Hou's Mansion, and now we are the only two here, so don't mess around!"

Yulan showed disappointment at first, but when she heard the latter, her expression became a little unnatural: "What are you talking about? What is chaos? My sister's words are really incomprehensible. I'm going to pack my things." After speaking, she went to the courtyard go.

Chunying kept staring at her back, secretly telling herself that she must be vigilant at all times and not let Yulan get involved.

All day.Back at the Huo Mansion, Miss Biao asked her own maid to take care of the work around Miss Biao. Except for serving Ms. Biao at meals, Chunying spent most of the time in her temporary room. Donger Lier He came here specially to accompany her, and told her a lot about Miss Biao's daily preferences, so that she could serve her more intimately.Jinxiu has also been here twice, and asked carefully about everyone in the Wanxiang Pavilion, and taught Chunying some rules and tricks, even giving advice on the color of her clothes and her walking posture.While Chunying stood, walked, and sat down according to her instructions, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Well, she will be treated as an ancient version of a lady's school... But she is obviously here to be a maid!

Several girls of Huo's family came to take a peek in turn, snickering endlessly.Chun Ying stared fiercely for a few times and went back, but she couldn't help herself and laughed first.The girls made a fuss.

But Magnolia did not join in.Her whereabouts seemed to be a mystery, and she didn't return to her residence until the lights were about to turn off.Because Chunying was in the next room to her, when she heard the door opening next door, she frowned.

On the second day, Chunying woke up early and was about to ask Jinxiu what she was going to do today, when she heard rumors that Yulan had an emergency and was contagious. Diagnosis and treatment, it is said that the condition is not serious, so in addition to delivering food and water every day, she is not allowed to have contact with anyone, so as not to infect others.

Chunying guessed in her heart that Yulan had done too much, which aroused the vigilance of the Huo family, and she couldn't help secretly scolding her for being too unwise.Since it was only locked up, and someone delivered food and water, it seemed that Yulan's life was safe and she would be released sooner or later, so Chunying wasn't too worried, and she didn't show any abnormalities on her face.After a long time, she found that other people's attitudes towards her were no different, and Miss Biao also received a lot of rewards, so she felt that only Yulan was not welcome, and she was still very safe, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She continued to do some needlework leisurely every day, learn some manners, memorize some rules and regulations, chat and laugh with Dong'er and the others, and whenever she passed by Yulan's room, she pretended that she didn't see or hear anything walk over.After three days like this, Yulan once again opened half of the window and yelled at her: "Chun'er! Chun'er! Come here, come here!"

Chunying caught a glimpse of no one around, and immediately turned to the other direction with eyes and nose, and was about to go around, but Yulan called out: "Do you need to be so unfeeling? They are all from the Hou Mansion, Miss Biao I value you, so you just climb up, ignoring your own sisters?!"

Chunying was angry and funny, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"When did you become my sister? Besides, the reason why you are stuck here is because of you. You do good deeds yourself, but it's my heartlessness?!" I want to leave on my feet.

Yulan stopped her again: "I was wrong, good sister, you have pity on me! I'm dying of thirst, but I don't even have a cup of tea, can you bring me a pot?"

Seeing her pitiful look, Chunying frowned.Yulan kept begging, tears kept falling, and her lips were so dry that they were about to peel off.Chunying thought that she must be really thirsty, this is not the Hou's mansion, she offended the master again, maybe the girl and woman at the bottom will take the opportunity to give her small shoes to wear, and she and she will always work together in the Wanxiang Pavilion in the future Yes, it's not good to do too much, so I took a pot of tea and handed it to her through the window.

Yulan took the teapot and grabbed her sleeves to prevent her from leaving: "My dear sister, please talk to me again, I'm really not sick! I won't infect you!"

Chunying said helplessly: "I know you're not sick, but everyone here is wary of you. I talked to you, but it made me feel sick. I beg you, for the sake of this pot of tea, please do me a favor." Come on, let go!"

Yulan couldn't beg, she gritted her teeth, and said: "Okay! I let go, but you have to promise me one thing. Help me send a letter back to the mansion..."

When Chunying heard this, she didn't care about anything else, and immediately pulled back her sleeve vigorously: "I'm leaving, take your time to recuperate!" Turning around, she was about to leave.

Yulan's complexion changed: "I know Miss Biao values ​​you now, but you can't forget the fundamentals! Have you forgotten that we are from the Hou Mansion?! Your parents and relatives are still in the mansion!"

Chunying's face darkened, "What do you mean?! Are you threatening me? It seems that I am a good person and did something wrong?!"
Yulan hurriedly slowed down her expression, and said softly: "How could it be? I just remind you kindly. After all, we are still from the Hou Mansion, but we are only seconded to the Wanxiang Hall to serve Miss Biao. She is a relative, no matter what the rumors say. In other words, after all, we are not the serious masters of our family. It is our duty to serve her wholeheartedly under the orders of the old lady, Lord Marquis, and wife, but we cannot just forget our identity and do things that betray the master. Huh? Think about it, even if Miss Biao thinks highly of you again and takes you away, your parents and relatives are still working under the hands of your wife, you can't let them suffer, right? "

Chunying gritted her teeth with hatred: "Then I have to thank you for your reminder? Huh! If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have pitied you!"

But Yulan smiled and said: "What did my sister say? If it weren't for this pot of tea, you would be in trouble in the future. When I go back to the house, I will let my wife know that you let others torment me but refuse to help. What else do you have?" it is good?"

Chunying stared at her fiercely, and squeezed out a sentence between her teeth: "What do you want me to do?!"

Yulan immediately smiled like a flower: "That's right, actually it's nothing, that is..." After a pause, she suddenly thought that it would be too cheap to give Chunying half of this great credit. Well, she has been holding back her stomach for the past few days!He immediately changed his words and said: "Just go back to the house for me and tell my wife, please ask her to send someone to pick me up, hurry up!"

Chun Ying only thought it was funny: "That's it?"

"That's it, don't worry about anything else." Yulan raised her chin, "Don't worry, I will speak good words for my sister in front of my wife."

Chunying glared at her, then strode away, Yulan closed the window triumphantly, put down the pot of plain, tasteless tea, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and smiled a little smugly.

Chunying rushed all the way to the tea room, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.What is this called? !Helping Yulan spread the word, who knows what the consequences will be?The wife is obviously planning to plot Miss Biao's family property!How can she be an accomplice? !

But... If she doesn't spread the word, in the future Yulan will sue her wife, not only will she be in bad luck, but her family will also be implicated, what should I do? !

The most damning thing is that Yulan still refuses to say what message she wants to pass on, she just asks his wife to send someone to pick her up!It is not easy for him to see his wife, even if he does, what should he say?Ask your wife to pick up a second-class girl and go back? !What's more, I am now in the Huo Mansion!If you can't find a reason to go out, then everything is for nothing!If she uses this reason to shirk, I wonder if she can get away with it?
Chunying was worrying, when she suddenly heard Dong'er calling her from outside the door: "So you are here, Miss is looking for you, come with me."

Chunying tidied up her appearance helplessly, and followed her to Huo Yi's room.Huo Yi was sitting at the table watching her younger brother write, when she saw her enter the door, she raised her head and smiled faintly: "Here you are? I have something to do for you."

Chunying saluted: "Miss Biao, please give me instructions."

"The butler brought in a batch of precious medicinal materials today, which are just what my mother needs. Among the people around me, only Jinxiu, you and Yulan have been to the Hou's mansion. You go for a while. You go back with the medicine, and then greet the old lady, uncle, aunt and mother for me. It’s getting late today, and you can come back tomorrow.”

What is this called? !Chunying couldn't help crying secretly.

(To pass, or not to pass, this is a question... What do you think?)
