The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 45
In the early morning of this day, Madam Mu sent someone to pass the message, saying that she was a little tired and wanted to rest for a while, so she spared everyone in the mansion to greet her.

The sun is shining brightly in the morning, and the courtyard is lush green, which makes people feel at ease.

That day, when Mrs. Wang pretended to be asked what kind of flowers and plants Mu Shuyao likes to plant, she reasoned that she didn't understand, let alone appreciate it, so she might as well plant some plants that are easy to take care of and evergreen all year round.

After hearing this, the maid woman in the yard felt like she was in her arms, so she picked some easy-to-care plants and planted them. At that time, everyone in the house was laughing at Mu Shuyao's rusticity.

But in the autumn when everything is starting to wither, the green of this yard has become a different kind of scenery in Shangshu Mansion.

"Fifth Miss, Madam is here." A little maid wearing an emerald green maid uniform raised the curtain to report.

Mu Shuyao put down the pen in her hand, instantly restrained her elegance and nobleness, and turned into that submissive little girl again, seeing Huarui and the three of them smacking their tongues.

As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Wang took her hand affectionately and said: "I heard from your elder sister that last time you went to see Yuyan together, she showed you her face and made you suffer a lot? "As he spoke, he carefully watched the expression on her face.

Mu Shuyao lowered her head halfway, showing a shy smile: "The eldest sister loves Shuyao, and the fifth younger sister is still young, and it's normal to have a little temper occasionally. There are mothers and elder sisters who care about and love Shuyao so much. Don't feel wronged."

After hearing this, although Mrs. Wang was very useful, there was still a strange light in her eyes. How could such words be said by a wild girl from the countryside?
Therefore, looking at Mu Shuyao's eyes, there was also an extra search, but she saw her bright eyes moving slightly, her smile slightly rippling, and there was a kind of natural nobleness that followed her everywhere.

This made Mrs. Wang's heart tremble, she felt a little uncomfortable, and there was also a creepy feeling. When she looked carefully, the girl in front of her looked down again as before, as if everything just now was her hallucination.

She glanced at the table, where there were big characters that Mu Shuyao was practicing just now, Madam Wang picked up one, but Mu Shuyao stopped nervously: "Mother..."

"What?" Mrs. Wang glanced at Mu Shuyao's bewildered look, and nodded secretly. This is the expression that this wild girl should have. She is always so petty and can't get on the stage. How can I think she is noble!It must be because I have read too many books in the past two days, and I have hallucinations.

"This word..." Mu Shuyao said with a face of shame: "Shuyao's handwriting is ugly, I'm afraid it will stain my mother's eyes." The voice became softer and lower, and her head hung lower and lower.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the rice paper in her hand. Not to mention the size, the thickness of the strokes was also different, and they were crooked. Some characters even pierced through the back of the paper, obviously a beginner's handwriting.

A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but her tone was exceptionally gentle, she took Mu Shuyao's hand and comforted her softly: "It's okay, you are a beginner, this is already very good, I think when your eldest sister was learning to write, she wrote It’s even uglier than you are now, after a period of practice, isn’t it good at writing?”

Hearing this, Mu Shuyao raised her head and looked at Mrs. Wang innocently: "What mother means is that as long as Shuyao works hard, she will be able to write well, right?"

Seeing Mrs. Wang nodding, Mu Shuyao instantly became happy, and her eyes lit up, full of yearning for the future.

Mrs. Wang curled her lips secretly, thinking that practicing calligraphy is such an easy task, but it takes time to accumulate, thinking that it only takes one or two months to practice calligraphy well, it is simply a dream.

After chatting with Mu Shuyao for a while, she found an excuse to go back, and took away Nanny Zhou before leaving, saying that her son had something to do with her.

Mu Shuyao was naturally very happy to let her go. She had expected that after what happened that day, Mrs. Wang would definitely ask Nanny Zhou to find out.

After a while, Nanny Zhou came back with a gloomy face, but when she met Xiao Fang who was pouring tea outside, she forced a smile on her face: "Xiao Fang, I saw that the tea you made two days ago was pretty good." It smells good, Madam came here just now and even boasted, why don't you go over and make a pot of tea for Madam now?"

"Well, it's a servant's blessing to be able to serve Madam, but Miss Fifth..." Xiaofang hesitated.

"Miss, I'll help you talk about it." Nanny Zhou seemed very enthusiastic.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went into the house. After talking about the matter, Mu Shuyao looked at Xiaofang and said: "Since mother likes the tea you made, you can go there, and don't rush back, take care of mother." That's right."

Xiaofang nodded in agreement, followed Nanny Zhou out of Qingyuan.

Nanny Zhou led her into the house of Lily Courtyard, and asked Haitang and others to guard the door.

As soon as she entered the door, Xiaofang knelt down, waiting for Mrs. Wang's question.

"What's unusual about you serving her recently?" Mrs. Wang sat at the table, looked down at the account book on the case, and asked without raising her head.

"Return to madam, this servant did not find anything abnormal." Xiaofang replied softly, the cautiousness in her tone was exactly the same as that of Mu Shuyao.

"No?" Mrs. Wang finally raised her head from the ledger, stared into Xiaofang's eyes and said, "You have to think about it before answering. What's the difference between her? Or when she was in the country with you, How much has she changed?"

Xiaofang looked Mrs. Wang straight in the eyes, and said with certainty: "After coming to the mansion, Miss Wu has become more cautious. She has to ask Nanny Zhou about many things before she dares to do them. But these days, she has been That’s it, there’s nothing unusual about it, you can ask Madam Zhou if you don’t believe me.”

"That vanilla..." Mrs. Wang had obviously already asked Nanny Zhou, so she didn't ask any more questions at this time, and asked about the new maid Mu Shuyao had hired.

Xiaofang laughed secretly when she heard this, Yaoyao really had a foresight, and she guessed exactly what Wang wanted to ask.

She lowered her head and replied: "That Xiangcao doesn't really win Miss Wu's trust, but she doesn't talk too much, she only does what she is supposed to do, and she seems to be an honest and honest person."

Mrs. Wang nodded, and asked again: "How is your relationship with that stamen? They are both from the same village. They should have a deep relationship, right?"

"It's not too deep. Madam may not believe it. The servant's parents had a little grievance with Huarui's parents. When Huarui lived next to Miss Fifth in the countryside, the relationship between the two of them is naturally better. The servant's father Niang originally wanted to give the flower pistil to the elder brother of the servant girl, but who knew she was unwilling, so..."

"So your family doesn't like her?" Mrs. Wang felt very fresh when she heard this. It turns out that there are so many conflicts among the country people, but this is not bad news for her.

Mrs. Wang looked at Nanny Zhang beside her: "Go and pack some taels of silver for Xiaofang."
