Back in the main courtyard, Qingshu didn't want to start when he was leaning on the chair. He was so tired that his legs were not his own.

Old lady Gu looked at her and said, "darling, do you want to go in and lie down for a while?"

Although very uncomfortable, but Qingshu still shook his head and said: "no, grandma, let's have breakfast!"

After breakfast, she has to study with mother Zhong《 After learning the Three Character Classic, she began to learn fables.

"It's hard at the beginning, but it's easy as long as you stick to it," Mrs. Gu said

Qingshu nodded. In fact, it's not only easy to study, but also hard to do anything. No matter how hard it is, she won't give up.

When practicing calligraphy on weekdays, Qingshu is always standing. Today, he can't stand and can only sit.

Mother Zhong asked with concern, "girl, is there something wrong?"

"No, I'm fine." After a pause, Qingshu and mother Zhong said, "Mom, I told my grandmother last night that we had to spend too much to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but my grandmother said that the income of the shop was enough for us for the time being."

Mother Zhong nodded with a smile and said, "that's good. By the way, girl, did the old lady say when will the gentleman arrive? "

She had to take care of her internal affairs and teach Qingshu to study. She was very tired during this time, so she was eager for her husband to come earlier.

"My grandmother said that my husband would come back later in the day. When my husband came, my mother would not have to work so hard."

Go to the door, see a small servant girl hurried to come over. See clear comfortable this small servant girl face dew panic of color, but soon hang down head blessing a gift: "girl good."

Qingshu frowned and asked, "what makes you so flustered?"

The little servant girl shook her head and said, "no, it's OK."

Mother Zhong said with a smile: "girl, this little servant girl is the one around me. She is timid and has never seen anything in the world. Please don't mind."

"No harm."

After Qingshu and mother Zhong separated, she asked Jiaoxing, "what does the maid usually do for mother Zhong?"

Jiao Xing has been in the house for four years, and she is very familiar with all the servant girls in the house: "Miss Hui, this little servant girl usually helps mother Zhong send something to spread a message."

Qingshu said: "go to inquire, and see what the little servant girl is looking for mother Zhong for?"

If it's something in the house, the little maid shouldn't be so panicked.

After thinking about it, Qingshu added: "quietly, don't attract people's attention."

Jiaoxing nodded: "good."

Back in the main courtyard, Qingshu finds that Mrs. Gu has not come back.

Apricot rain end of the cut watermelon up: "girl, this melon on the well water surging, just picked up, ice cold to eat very sweet."

Qingshu ate a watermelon and didn't eat any more: "elder sister Xingyu, how long have you been with elder sister Xinghua to take care of your family?"

In addition to mother Hua, Mrs. Gu relies on two big servant girls, Xingyu and Xinghua.

Apricot rain calm, to help spend mother in charge of the room of the maid, as well as clothing and jewelry and other things; Apricot flower is good at reckoning. She will help Mrs. Gu to do it on weekdays.

Apricot rain said with a smile: "I entered the house when I was six years old. I have been in the house for eleven years. Apricot flower is earlier than me. She entered the mansion when she was five years old, and now she has been taking care of her family for 12 years. "

She and apricot flower have reached the age of marriage. Mrs. Gu is already searching for others for them.

Qingshu asked curiously: "sister Xingyu, is there anyone else in your family?"

"Yes, my parents are still here, and there are brothers and sisters at home. The apricot flower was sold by her brother and sister-in-law. When she entered the house, she broke up with her brother and sister-in-law. "

As Mrs. Gu's confidant servant girl, Xingyu naturally knows that Qingshu is enlightened and sensible.

Fearing that Qingshu misunderstands Xinghua as cold-blooded and merciless, Xingyu explains, "Xinghua's family has a six room blue brick house, more than ten acres of good farmland and two acres of mulberry land. But her sister-in-law felt that apricot flower was eating at home, and worried that she would get a dowry in the future, so she sold her to others. Knowing that apricot flower has become a servant girl in Gu's house and has monthly money, he comes to ask apricot flower to give them monthly money. Girl, apricot flower's brother and sister-in-law are like leeches. If they don't break the relationship, apricot flower will be sucked dry by them sooner or later.

Qingshu has goose bumps when she hears leech.

Just at this time, Mrs. Gu came back. Seeing Qingshu, Mrs. Gu asked with concern, "darling, is it still painful?"

Qingshu nodded and said, "it's still a little sore. Grandma, I'm hungry. Let's eat! "

The food is very rich, which Qingshu likes to eat, but because of doctor he's words, the food tends to be light.

After a nap, Qingshu went to master Duan again.

Master Duan asked her to practice what she had learned in the morning, and then said, "very good. Now learn to press the legs on the side."

Half an hour down, Qingshu sweating.

Duan Shifu and Qingshu said, "you can't take a bath after sweating. You must take a bath after sweating, and you can only take a hot bath. You must remember this."

Qingshu was puzzled and asked, "why?"

Master Duan has a big head. Why do you have so many children? Why don't you just do it

Qingshu looked at his face and couldn't help laughing: "master, don't worry, I will pay attention to it."

Seeing her smiling appearance, master Duan's mood could not help getting better.

After seeing the man off, master Duan crossed the small door and went into the yard next to him.

As soon as I went in, I heard a fierce cough, and master Duan's heart suddenly became heavy again.

Back to the main courtyard, Qingshu asked Jiaoxing: "what's the matter you asked about?"

Jiaoxing said in a low voice: "girl, in the morning, mother Zhong's son came to see her, but I didn't find out what happened. But when he entered the mansion, he was black and blue. I asked Uncle a Qing, who said he should have been beaten. "

Uncle a Qing is one of the two gatekeepers. Although he is old, he has a tight mouth. Is also to see Jiao Xing is Qingshu intimate servant girl he will say, others ask him can't say.

Jiaoxing sees Qingshu frowning and asks in a low voice, "girl, uncle ah Qing, ye Jianhong, it's estimated that he is fighting with others after drinking. That's what she looks like."

Ye Jianhong was originally working as an official in the mansion. Once he got drunk and beat someone, he was punished to go to Chuang Tzu.

Mother Zhong is strict, which makes all the servant girls in the house afraid of her. However, his son likes to drink, and after drinking, he curses others and goes mad.

Qingshu doesn't have anyone to trust on hand. If she asks about ye Jianhong rashly, she will alarm mother Zhong: "I'm just curious. A steady person like mother Zhong uses a little servant girl, but her hair is impetuous. "

Jiao Xing smiles: "that little servant girl is ye ye. She recognizes mother Zhong as a godmother. It's because I'm young and I haven't learned the rules well. That's why I'm so impetuous. "

This Qingshu knows that some servant girls in Zhongyong Marquis's house will find a decent woman to be a godmother. In fact, this is also a disguised way to find a shelter.

Qingshu asked, "did mother Zhong take this leaf as a dry daughter?"

Jiaoxing shook her head and said, "before the leaves, mother Zhong had a dry daughter, but the girl got a disease five years ago and died."

Qingshu keeps this in mind.
