in spring

Chapter 71
Wisteria saw her reaction, and her smile deepened: "Come on! Are you still pretending to me? Do you really think I don't know? I heard what Sister Shaoyao and the others said with my own ears."

Manru's face turned pale, and she forced herself to calm down: "I really don't know what you're talking about, it's endless." Then she urged the others: "Stop talking about the past, there is still work to do, hurry up It's better to eat early when it's over."

Both Chunying and Shi'er glanced at her suspiciously, and the latter smiled and pushed Wisteria: "What's the matter? You said this suddenly, how can Sister Manru know what you're talking about?"

"Ah! Look at my mouth!" Wisteria slapped herself on the forehead, and said with a smile, "I just came from my wife, and I heard Sister Shaoyao tell Sister Dingxiang and the others privately that because many people's errands have been dismissed in the mansion, you must Another person was selected to make up for it. Several housekeepers jointly recommended Aunt Cui, saying that she is honest and kind to others. At first, the wife thought that Aunt Cui was innocent and refused to agree. When she heard that she was Sister Cui's mother, she Immediately nodded, and asked Aunt Cui to go directly to the inner waiter to work as an errand. It was an easy and decent job, of course I would like to congratulate my sister! Which girl in the mansion has such dignity? Except for my sister, there is only Chen girl Because of the meritorious deeds this time, I was honored by my wife and rewarded her father with an errand. If her mother did not happen to commit a crime, the house would have been full of joy. That's why I said that my sister is really decent!"

The look of surprise on Manru's face almost overflowed, she never thought that what she had planned for a long time would succeed so quickly.Mother has an errand, which can increase her income, and is not afraid of being bullied again, so she can work in the mansion with peace of mind.This is obviously those housekeepers who voted for rewards, and they will be good students to win over them in the future.

But... There was something in Wisteria's words, which seemed to imply something, which also made her secretly startled.

She suppressed her joy, forced a smile and said: "So that's the case, I haven't heard the news yet, if it's true, I must thank you."

"I just heard a letter and let you know by the way, what's there to thank you for?" Zi Teng suddenly changed the tone, "It's just what did my sister do? Why is she as respectable as Chen'er? "

A trace of panic flashed across Manru's face, and she laughed dryly: "How can there be any credit? It's just...it's just the grace of my wife!"

Chunying felt something was wrong.Has Manru made any contribution?When did this happen?Why hasn't she heard of it?

Shi'er tugged at Wisteria's sleeve and whispered, "Are you confused? How did you mention Chen'er properly? Can Sister Manru be the same as Chen'er?"

Just as she was talking, Chen'er came in from the gate of the courtyard, her face was a bit tired, and just after entering the door, she noticed several eyes shot from all directions, all seemed to be mocking, and she felt annoyed in her heart, thinking that others were I'm laughing at her.She stared back fiercely one by one, and then yelled at Chunying and the others: "What are you looking at?! Are you all gathering here to be lazy? Why don't you hurry up and go to work?!" Walking forward, habitually turned to the old room, suddenly stopped, and then turned to the road leading to the backyard.

"The little man succeeds!" Shi'er cursed in a low voice.Wisteria smiled and comforted her and said, "Don't be angry, no matter how high she rises, she's just a little girl like us if she fools people. The whole house is full of spirits, and she can hide her ideas and deeds." Who? Sooner or later she will show her true colors! Let's see how long she can be proud!" When she spoke, she still kept her eyes on Man Ru.

Manru was very uncomfortable, forced a smile and said: "Madam has already rewarded her, let's not gossip about her... I... I will go to inquire about my mother, and I will come as soon as I go..." After finishing speaking, she turned around in a hurry leave.

Wisteria watched her go away with a smile, and snorted coldly.Shi'er pushed her again: "Why do you seem to be acting weird today? Did Manru offend you?"

Chunying also looked at her suspiciously: "I also think there is something in your words, so mention Chen'er carefully... Could it be..." She looked at the direction Manru left: No way...

"I didn't say anything." Wisteria made a face at them, and then resumed her sweet smile, "I'm just a little girl running errands, what do you know? Didn't you hear what Sister Cui said? My wife appreciates it." It's over, let's not say a few words." After saying that, Shi Shiran went back to his room.

Chunying and Shi'er looked at each other, went back to the room in a tacit understanding, closed the door, and the latter asked, "Did you hear that? What Wisteria meant, could it be that... Sister Manru also informed the wife? !"

Chun Ying bit her lips: "Impossible? She...isn't that bad, and she pleaded for Qing'er!" Qing'er's relics were also taken out by her, and she entrusted herself to give to Qing'er's family.How could such a Manru be a pervert?

But...she thought of herself back then. Didn't Manru try to get herself in to make up for it because she robbed her of her job?Will this time beg for mercy and give something for compensation?
Shi'er shook his head and said, "That can't be said, she just didn't do anything. Which girl has the dignity to make her wife promote her parents? Chen'er is because of meritorious service, so why is Manru? She is favored by the third young master again in Huanhuaxuan, and there are plum fragrance, orchid fragrance, rouge and Luer on her hair. The wife wants to give grace, when will it be her turn? Thinking about it, when the wife got angry yesterday, she not only said the youth Regarding Er'er's matter, she is very clear about which women and girls gossip with others in private, and Chen'er must not be the only one who informs! If Sister Manru is also involved in it, it is not surprising."

She approached Chunying, and whispered: "You came late, so I don't know. When Juxiang and Zhuxiang were kicked out, it was also related to Manru. When she was walking with his wife in the garden, she heard them talking in private Talking, it is said that it was related to the young masters, and the wife lost her temper on the spot. Because of this matter, Mei Xianglanxiang has always been indifferent to her. Speaking of which, the wife actually didn't like her very much in the past, but now she calls her to talk from time to time .I've been suspicious for a long time!"

Chunying glanced at her, not knowing what it was like.

Although Manru was once suspected of harming her life, she has always taken good care of her, taught her a lot, and usually has a very kind attitude, and is also good to other little girls.It was hard for her to let go of her doubts and believe that Manru is a good person, but what Wisteria and Shier said now overturned this conclusion.

But Chunying is also very clear in her heart that although Wisteria often greets people with a smile, it is more to maintain friendship with others, and no one knows what she actually thinks.I heard that even if she encounters someone's cold face, or even spits in front of her face, she will smile back.Such a wisteria can't help showing its sharpness in her words, which shows how much she hates Manru.She is always well-informed, will she know something inside?

After thinking about it, Chunying couldn't figure it out, and asked Wisteria about it again, but she smiled and swayed away, and she also behaved normally when facing Manru.Chunying had no choice but to temporarily suppress her doubts, leaving a thorn in her heart.

She has more important things to think about!The errands in the small kitchen were gone, and she served tea, poured water, boiled medicine and made the bed with Mei Xiang. Although she had been free for two days, she was always uneasy.The third young master seemed to be leaving her alone on purpose, passing in front of her a few times, letting her blink until her eyeballs almost fell out of the window, pretending she couldn't see him, so she asked Mei Xiang to deliver the message in private, and when Mei Xiang turned around, she always kept going. The expression of helplessness on the face.She was embarrassed to torment the patient too much, so she had to wait patiently for a few days before the third young master's mood improved and he was very grateful to see her.

Mei Xiang was still sitting outside the door doing needlework, Chunying thought that there was a newcomer in Huanhuaxuan, Chen'er was promoted to the second class, and Manru came in to wait on her again. Speak clearly.Unexpectedly, she just asked: "Third young master, is it okay that you haven't been there for several days, young master Nian?" The third young master Li You glanced at her with a half-smile, and threw a thunderstorm: "Then you might as well go and serve him Got it."

Chunying's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly made amends: "That... I didn't mean that... I, I..." After "I" for a long time, she didn't come out with "I", and she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

"Come on!" Li You lowered his head and smiled slyly, "Why are you panicking? I'm not trying to drive you away!" He suppressed his smile and deliberately put on a straight face: "You girl! I thought you were a tight-lipped Yes, I didn't expect to see you wrong! What are you talking about in my courtyard?!"

Chunying scrunched her neck: "I know I was wrong..." She didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, even to her sister, it would kill her!

"Well——" Li You nodded seemingly satisfied, but his expression couldn't help but he couldn't help it, "Cough... But, you did something good with bad intentions. Brother Nian gave me a good idea, and now my young master feels refreshed , I will spare you!"

Chunying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she was in a certain mood, she woke up, this little lady was playing tricks on her just now, right?This... so depressing!She is a dignified traveler, but she is still being played around by a 12-year-old kid? !Her expression immediately twisted.

Fortunately, Li You didn't notice her at this time, and just fiddled with a few new ornaments, casually said: "Yesterday, I heard my father tell my mother that the matter of the Zhou family has a clue. It's too indifferent, at least it's a family friend, let my mother take care of it more. I took the opportunity to tell my mother that the matter has not yet been settled, and it's not good to make a big fuss. It's better to choose one of the little girls in my yard, and the board and lodging are still available. Here I am, I will help Brother Nian with some chores during the day, so that he can live more comfortably. My mother has already agreed, and I don't want to find someone else, so just do it well, and your benefits will naturally be indispensable in the future. "

Chunying didn't realize it for a while: "This... doesn't it mean that Master Hou and his wife forbid people from the house to go there?!"

"It's just sending a girl over to do some work. My wife banned me." Li You glanced at her, "So I may not be able to see Brother Nian often in the future. If you have any news, you have to be careful to bring it back. That's fine, I have given everything to Mei Xiang, you can ask her."

Chunying hurriedly saluted and left, and hurriedly went to find Meixiang.Mei Xiang laughed and said: "There is such a thing. There is another name here. The third young master said to the outside world that he took a fancy to the houses in Zhumeng Mountain Residence and planned to spend the summer there, so he wanted to send someone Go clean it. But it’s still early, so just send a little girl to clean it up. Others don’t know, and they might think you made a mistake, but we know it well, you just need to rest assured. The same is true for others.”

It turned out to be like this, Chunying smiled and agreed, and decided to act like a little: "Then I'll bring a bucket, broom, rag, etc., and work there by the way!" Zhou Nian is much easier to get along with than the third young master. Well, the place is quiet, and there are no other girls to show their faces. As long as she collects a lot of money, she will be more comfortable living in Zhumeng Mountain!

After hearing her muttering, Mei Xiang couldn't help but burst out laughing, leaned closer and whispered: "Silly girl, how do you know the benefits of this? If that Young Master Zhou's family can be rehabilitated, he is naturally a distinguished person. The old servant who sells the old servants sells them and sells them loose. Master Hou will naturally plan for him. If you serve well, maybe even the whole family will be given to him. I remember that your father was an errand at the gate. With a senior qualification of one year, maybe he can be a housekeeper!"

Chunying's heart was shocked, she was not interested in the position of housekeeper, but she thought of a possibility: Zhou Nian has always been easy to talk, will it be easier to redeem himself under his hands in the future?
