Chapter 37 That Man (Minor Repair)
After hearing Qing'er's words, Mei Xiang couldn't help laughing, and turned her head to wink at the little girls around, and the crowd dispersed quickly and quietly, before she turned her head and persuaded: "Why do I care about this? Besides, you have wronged people , Manru is still waiting in the upper room, why is she asleep? If you don’t like it, let her take your dirty clothes to the laundry room, as long as there are people in the room, who is not the same?” Pause, lowered her voice He raised his voice: "Since you are an old man, you should act like a veteran. You should also teach the little girl below. You are beaten or scolded all day long. How can you be persuaded by others? The masters saw it and felt that You are mean, compared with others, how can you get better?"

Qing'er opened her mouth to argue, but Mei Xiang pushed her back to the backyard with a smile.Chunying watched their backs disappear, breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the bed, recalled what she had done just now, and was a little annoyed: she seemed too impulsive, Qinger was one level higher than her anyway, and offended her boss, in the future there will be more Wearing small shoes, I don't know if sister Qiuyu's name can stop Qing'er's revenge?
"Chun'er..." Shi'er slipped in from the door, "You are so brave! How dare you talk back to Sister Qing'er!"

Chunying pursed her mouth, raised her neck and said, "I'll do it! She was the one who got into trouble with me first!" Could it be that she still smiled and accepted when others yelled at her?She was the right one!
Shi'er snickered, and pushed Xia He in the corner of the room: "Idiot, what are you doing hiding here? Everyone has left!" Xia He pushed her away angrily, walked up to Chunying and stared at her: " You offended the elder sister above, and you will suffer in the future, so don't implicate me!" After saying that, he ran to his own bed, pulled down the curtain, and there was no sound.

"Be careful to suffocate you!" Shi'er cursed, then ran to Chunying's bedside, and said with a smile: "Chun'er, sister Yanzhi and sister Manru both got rewards tonight, and sister Manru got a revolving lantern It’s interesting! But I don’t think she likes it very much. You grew up in the same yard as her, and she treats you very well. Can you tell me and ask her to lend me the lamp to play with? Two days?"

This is called Chunying how to answer?She was going to refuse straight away, but thinking that Shi'er had been very kind to her since entering the mansion, Chunying hesitated for a moment, then found an excuse to delay.When the tea was delivered to the second entrance door the next day, it happened that Manru came to pick up the tray. She hesitated and said, "I heard you got a good lamp last night? Shi'er mentioned it to me, saying that she liked it very much, and asked me to ask about it." May I ask you, can you let her get closer and take a closer look?"

Manru took the tray, looked at her with a very complicated look, and turned away silently, Chunying felt baffled.

But at dinner, Shi'er still saw the lamp. Although she couldn't play with it in her hand, she was quite satisfied: "It looks better than the one I got during the Lantern Festival, Chun'er, thank you very much." Chunying smiled, and glanced at Manru who was sitting in a corner eating silently, a little confused.

Maybe because of knowing Chunying's sister's identity, coupled with Mei Xiang's advice, Qing'er stopped targeting Chunying later, but after all, it was because she made things difficult for so long, and there were several quarrels, she couldn't bear to pretend Sister, when she saw Chunying, at most she pretended not to see her, and Chunying was not interested in paying attention to her, so she ignored her and walked over.

As time passed, Chunying began to get used to the life of Huanhuaxuan.She got up early to clean up every day, and she also mastered some small skills to make herself more relaxed and get acquainted with other little girls.Although she is not interested in participating in the gossip of the little girls, she will also sit aside and do needlework, pretending to listen with gusto, occasionally inserting a few silly words, and sometimes helping a little, those little girls quickly regard her as a own people.Coupled with Mei Xiang covering it, her life is quite easy.

She has never formally met the third young master, but only sees him coming in and out surrounded by a group of girls from a distance every day. The only impression she has is: he is really handsome and cute, with clear eyebrows, generous gestures, and gentle manners. , is a nice little boy.But when she thought that most of the maids in the yard had the idea of ​​climbing into his bed, she couldn't accept it. This is obviously a child? !Are those sisters a little too horny? !

Among this group of hungry maids, apart from the gentle big sister Mei Xiang, probably only the newcomer Yan Zhi is far away from the third young master.She seemed to regard him as a scourge, and hid in her room all day long (she enjoys the treatment of a maid and occupies a room exclusively). According to the little girls, she was embroidering, reading books occasionally, and even eating, washing and coughing. It was carried out in the room, and the third young master told her to go, but she ignored her. She couldn't shirk it. She said no to Mo Mo, and she ignored her when she talked to her.The third young master was not angry at all, and even rewarded him with many good things, but she accepted them without even saying a word of thanks.Even Mei Xiang frowned, and Lan Xiang and the other second-class girls were even more resentful.

Chunying only knew this from listening to the little girls chatting, she was a little curious, could it be that the Rouge girl was not reconciled to what happened to her, so she was so cold-faced towards others?Speaking of which, she is quite innocent. She lived a good life and had some money at home. Because there was a beauty contest in the palace, in order to get ahead, she was sent out by her family and fellow villagers. It's okay to become the prince's concubine in the prince's mansion, but by accident, she entered the Marquis' mansion as a maid, who can swallow this breath?

So Chunying said: "That elder sister Yanzhi comes from a good family, maybe she is not used to serving people? I heard that she was also a rich lady when she was at home."

The little girl Rong'er curled her lips: "It's just the daughter of a small businessman, what kind of rich lady is she? When she comes to us, what kind of airs does she put on? The food, clothing, and supplies we use are not better than ordinary rich ladies outside? The sisters of Mr. Wang's housekeeper are even more delicate than the ladies of Mr. Jiang's family in Dongcheng. They were raised by maids and women since they were young, and they also work in the mansion? What kind of onion is that rouge? My eyes are long on the top of my head. Forget it, but also instruct us to work, I really think of myself as a young lady!"

Another little girl, Xiaoling, said timidly: "But she is second-class, and she still receives first-class monthly money, so she can ask us to do things?"

"It depends on what it is!" Rong'er raised her voice, "Our master is the third young master, and we do all the work for him, who has time to serve her?!"

Xiaoling quickly glanced around, and quickly gave her a hand: "Keep your voice down, what if you are overheard?" Then he lowered his head and said, "The third young master likes Sister Yanzhi, it's not surprising that she is putting on airs. Who Isn't that how my sister was when she gained power? What are you scolding her for?"

"You damn girl, can this be the same?!" Rong'er twisted Xiao Ling's arm, "Other sisters will give us candy if they want to order us around, how can it be like her? After exhausting their work, She doesn't even have a good face, she really thinks of us as her girls!"

Xiaoling was in pain and couldn't help but twist back, the two quarreled, but Chunying propped his chin beside him, sighing that Yanzhi couldn't be a human being.Shi'er and another little girl, Chen'er, came in through the courtyard gate with a plate of snacks each. Seeing them arguing, the latter complained, "You guys are so idle! Poor us, we're going to die!"

Chunying hurriedly dropped the sewing basket and ran over to get the tray in Da Shi'er's hand: "This is for delivery later? Why are there so many?"

"The old lady said that the third young master always refuses to eat, because he is afraid that he will be hungry, so she asked him to prepare a lot of snacks and urge him to eat at all times." Shi'er said with a grin, "The third young master doesn't eat that jujube cake. Let's go back and beg sister Mei Xiang, let's eat after begging?"

Chunying couldn't help laughing: "Up to you." Shi'er squinted his eyes with joy, and Chen'er beside him said with a look of contempt: "It seems like you haven't eaten, be careful!"

"When you're fishing for dim sum, why aren't you afraid you'll be stuffed to death?" Rong'er sarcastically turned to Shi'er, "It's almost meal time, what's the use of bringing this? Why don't you ask the kitchen to deliver the meal earlier."

Ten'er said: "I think so too, but who dare not listen to the old lady's orders? The old lady also said that if the third young master has not gone to sleep in the next day, she will ask the kitchen to send some delicious and delicious food." Here's an easy-to-reduce late-night snack." She tilted her head: "What has the third young master been painting recently? Why do you stay up until the second or third hour every day before falling asleep?"

"The third young master naturally has important things to do, how can a little girl like you understand?!" Chen'er stuffed the tray in Rong'er's arms, "I'll go to the kitchen to urge dinner, the third young master has eaten earlier, If you go to paint again, you won’t be hungry.”

She turned around and was about to run, but Rong'er held a large plate of dim sum and didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only stomp her feet resentfully: "I can get you! Obviously I thought of it, so it's good for you!" Shi'er called Chen'er loudly: "Chun'er doesn't know the way yet. Take her with you. It will be convenient for you to run errands in the future." Chen'er stopped to look back, frowned and glared at Chunying: "Then hurry up! What are you dawdling about?" Woolen cloth?!"

Chunying held back the unhappiness in her heart, and followed her all the way to the second gate, but saw more than a dozen carriages parked in the open space ahead, and there were many servants carrying the things on the carts back and forth. Puzzled what was going on, she was dragged behind a nearby bush by the flustered Chen'er, who yelled, "Pei Ji! Pei Ji!"

A strange middle-aged servant ran over sweating profusely: "Who is calling me?"

"It's me!" Chen'er poked her face out from behind the bushes, "What are you doing up front? Why are there so many strangers in the second gate?"

Pei Ji smiled apologetically and said: "So it's Miss Chen'er, she's not a stranger, they are all working in the second house, the big luggage from the second master's house finally arrived today, she's moving things. Miss, is she going to the front? "

"I'm going to the kitchen!"

"Then it's going to be difficult. I heard that there are still a few cars that haven't come. This person has a lot of eyes..." Pei Ji rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Young lady, why don't you go the other way?"

Chen'er stomped her feet in dissatisfaction, and shook her head at Chunying: "Go! Let's go through the garden!"

Chunying had no choice but to go back and walk into the garden.It was the first time for her to enter here, but it was a pity that she was in a hurry and couldn't stop to enjoy the scenery, but after a glimpse, she could see that a lot of thought had been spent on this garden. Flowers and plants she had never seen before.There are several varieties of sweet-scented osmanthus that are blooming the best right now, exuding a pleasant aroma all the way.

Walking down the mountain, Chunying suddenly remembered the sighs she heard that day, and couldn't help but look at the house at the foot of the mountain.It was a few small green brick and tile houses, hidden behind dense green bamboos, filled with a desolate atmosphere.Looking at the mountain again, there is also a small bamboo house hidden in the bamboo forest, and the wind blows the bamboo leaves rustling.

Chen'er turned her head and glared at Chunying: "Hurry up? What are you doing over there? It's haunted by ghosts, be careful that ghosts... Ouch!" Before she finished speaking, she fell down and wailed again and again: " It hurts me so much! What is this thing?!" She took out a jade pendant from under her body, and saw that it was pure white, exquisitely carved, and connected with gorgeous knots. She was overjoyed: "Isn't this the jade that the third young master brought with him? He must have accidentally left it here!"

"Really?" Chunying helped her up, "Then let's take it back and give it to Sister Meixiang later?"

But Chen'er glanced at her: "Third young master is the most precious jade, he will be very anxious if he loses it, I'll take it back to him right now, you wait here for me." After saying that, she turned around and left quickly.Chunying was taken aback, she didn't expect that she could walk so fast after falling.

Chunying stayed alone in the same place, no one around, a little bored, suddenly heard a cat meowing, looking for the reputation, it turned out to be a Persian cat with white and yellow spots, round, fluffy, very cute.Chunying thought of the Persian cat in her friend Zhang Xiaomei's house. Its fur was only a little yellower than this one. It was chubby and sat on the balcony basking in the sun all day. Every time it was in her arms, it was very cute.She couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic, so she gently waved to the cat: "Come here, come here!" But the cat turned away arrogantly and jumped into the bamboo forest.

Chunying couldn't help laughing, looked left and right, then chased after it lightly, followed it all the way into the bamboo forest, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.She was a little annoyed, but when she turned around, she found that she had walked a long way, and she was actually near the tile-roofed house. Next to it was a flowerbed with dozens of green plants. A cat face appeared and "meowed" at her.

"So you are here?" Chunying walked over with a smile, knelt down and stroked its fur carefully, it was a little reluctant, but did not avoid it, Chunying felt happy for a while, and was about to pet it again, but it Turned around and ran away.She wanted to chase after it, but a pair of soap boots appeared in front of her.

She held her breath, slowly raised her head, and a strange handsome young man caught her eyes and smiled at her: "Where are you from? How did you come here?"

(Guess who he is now? Sorry, it’s late again~~)
