Chapter 74

The old lady only thought that she had no opinion, so she proved that the maids in the yard had no private contact with other masters, and she was even more happy, thinking: "In this yard, there are only Li'er and Xu'er who are about the same age as you. .”

Then she turned her head and said, "Cuilan, call those two little girls in."

"Yes, old madam." Cuilan obediently agreed, turned and went out, and brought in the two girls who looked ignorant after a while.

There are two weeds on the top of Xu'er's head, which looks a little gray.Li'er was much neater, her gown was neat and tidy, and a touch of lip balm was applied on her lips.

In contrast, Xu'er looks like Li'er's maid.

The old lady seemed to be used to such comparisons, and she didn't show much emotion. She returned to her seat and sat down, took a sip of the tea offered by Cuiyun, and asked, "I'm calling you two over today. I have something to tell you."

The two girls were a little startled, not sure what the old lady meant, they both lowered their heads timidly: "Yes."

The old lady took another sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and said slowly: "The green screen next to Xin'er was sold out because of a crime. I think you should have heard about it. Now Xin'er is missing a big girl. Waiter, which of you two wants to go over?"

Waiting lady?
A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the two girls. You must know that in the old lady's yard, they are the last little girls, and their status is similar to that of Sansao.When seeing Cuiyun and Cuilan on weekdays, they have to respectfully call out sister.

The big girl next to the master is second only to the masters, and even the housekeeper will show some face when they see her, and she is not at the same level as the last girl.With such a good thing, who wouldn't want it?
However, everyone knows that the old lady is the person who values ​​loyalty the most. If she is too eager, will it arouse the old lady's resentment?
For a moment, both of them couldn't make up their minds, neither of them dared to speak first.

Huo Tianyu glanced at Hongmei, Hongmei understood, and quietly gestured to Li'er.Li'er was taken aback for a moment, and then became ecstatic.

She and Hongmei are cousins, and they have a private relationship, and their relationship is not bad, Hongmei will not lie to her.The old lady called them over because she really wanted to pick a big girl for the young lady.

What Hongmei meant was to ask her to work hard for it.That being the case, Li'er didn't hide it anymore, kowtowed respectfully, and said crisply: "If you go back to the old lady, Li'er is willing to serve Miss."

"Oh?" The old lady also knows a little about Li'er's temperament. She is usually responsible for sending clothes to be washed and other chores.But sometimes if I'm lazy, I will instruct Xu'er to do it.

Xu'er is honest, no matter who asks her to do something, she is diligent and diligent, and she doesn't know how to resist.Anyway, it was a trivial matter, and there were no conflicts in the yard. The old lady never bothered to pay attention to it.

But seeing Li'er asking to leave so actively, the old lady felt somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, it is the mistress who has stood in the mansion for many years, even if she is unhappy, she will not show it for a little girl.Then she turned her face and asked Xu'er: "What about you? Don't you want to serve Miss?"

Xu'er rubbed her nose in distress, and said frankly: "Returning to the old lady, the monthly ratio of the eldest girl is several times higher than that of the last girl, so the servant girl is very willing. But the servant girl has always been used to rough work, so she is afraid of serving her." Miss, what can I do then?"

The old lady couldn't help laughing: "You are sincere, according to what you mean, but the monthly rate is too low here, do you feel wronged?"

"What an idiot!" Huo Tianyu sneered contemptuously, and muttered to himself as he disliked Xu'er who was not going to come.

Huo Tianxin was very interested in her frankness, and his favorability increased a little.

Xu'er said seriously: "When Xu'er was sold into the mansion, she became a member of the mansion, and she didn't feel wronged by serving anyone. It's just that Xu'er is dull, so she can only be the last girl, so it's, it's—"

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of a suitable word.Hongmei curled her lips in disdain, and said in a low voice, "It's a good fit."

Xu'er's face turned red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, "Xu'er has never studied, and she is not very good at talking. Sister Hongmei is right, it is just right for her."

Is it the girl in my own yard, when will it be the turn of others to judge?

The old lady glanced at Hongmei coldly, "You are smart."

Hongmei was startled, knowing that she had touched the old lady's displeasure, her face turned pale immediately, and she knelt down with a "plop": "It's the maid who talks too much, and the maid knows she's wrong."

The old lady ignored her at all, and said indifferently: "Such a lowly servant girl, regardless of superiority or inferiority, doesn't know how to judge the severity, taking it out will only add embarrassment to herself. Yu'er, you are not young anymore, you should beat her well Beat the girl around you, don't make a joke."

Huo Tianyu's back shuddered, it was his grandmother beating her in the name of asking her to beat a girl.

Huo Tianxin is gradually gaining momentum, and she must not lag behind, let alone let the carelessness of the girls around her cause a catastrophe.

The sarcasm and disdain just faded away, she didn't dare to talk back, and lowered her head embarrassingly: "Yes, Yu'er made grandma worry about it. After returning, Yu'er will definitely teach this ignorant girl a lesson, and make sure she doesn't make the same mistake again. mistake."

"En." The old lady responded lightly, and didn't look at her again. When she turned her head to look at Huo Tianxin, she smiled a little more: "Xin'er, the two girls are here, and they are both waiting for you." Your wish, which one do you prefer?"

Huo Tianxin looked at this and then at that, and his eyes fell on Li'er more often, but he was still a little uncertain.

Li'er thought she was more interested in her, so she raised a flattering smile and tried her best to show her favor.

But it didn't know that the more this happened, the more Huo Tianxin thought of the hypocrisy of Shen Ruoqiu's mother and daughter, and the goodwill disappeared.

The old lady also saw her deliberate flattery, so she couldn't help but hide it.People go to high places, and water flows to low places. No matter who they are, they hope to have a better place to go, which is understandable.

But just saw a glimmer of light, and so blatantly showing favor to others in front of the master, it can be seen that this person is only interested in profit, and he is just an unfamiliar wolf.

It is not at ease for such an impure person to be transferred to his granddaughter to serve him.With an external heart, naturally he can't stay in the courtyard.After the matter is over, she has to change her place.

Just when the old lady decided to reward Xu'er to Huo Tianxin, Huo Tianxin made a move first, got off the chair, walked around in front of the two girls, and asked, "You two are here with grandma. Do something?"

"Return to Miss." Li'er wanted to win her favor, so she said enthusiastically first: "The servant girl is responsible for sending the old lady's clothes to be washed and ironed. When Cuilan and sister Cuiyun are too busy , the maid will occasionally enter the house to serve, fumigate the old lady’s clothes and quilts, and take care of the old lady’s meals.”

Everything is closely related to the master. In this way, the lady should feel that she is very capable.
