6 Why did the eldest wife summon
After training Mrs. Wang, the second wife quickly pushed the two boxes in front of Yulan, feigning anger and saying, "If you keep pushing them around like this, Second Aunt will be angry."
Yulan stood up and said, "My niece accepted it shamelessly!" She asked Xiaoyu to pick up the box and put it away.
When Mrs. Wang saw Xiaoyu taking away the two valuable boxes, she felt itchy and uncomfortable. She couldn't help but glared at her fiercely, but Xiaoyu pretended not to have seen anything.
The second wife saw this and snorted: "Qi girl, when you are free in the future, you should go to the second aunt's place more often. Your second sister will get married soon, and there will not be many opportunities for you sisters to meet in the future.
, you need to have more contacts. If anything happens, Second Aunt will definitely support you. If you have any grievances, you can tell them to Second Aunt. You dare not say anything else. How can Second Aunt deal with a unruly slave who deceives the master?
There are still some!”
Mother Wang trembled when she heard this.
This is what Yulan was waiting for: "Then niece will thank the second aunt first!"
Just after seeing off the second wife, a little maid came to report: "The little peach girl next to the eldest wife is here."
Yulan couldn't help but raise her forehead, wondering what happened tonight, it was like a revolving lantern, one person was sent away and another one came.
Since she was someone close to her aunt, she couldn't neglect her. Yulan hurriedly led two girls out of the room. He saw a girl wearing sky blue armor holding a lantern standing at the foot of the steps outside the main room door.
Yu Lan greeted her: "Sister Xiaotao." She was just a second-class girl next to the eldest lady and couldn't enter her room at all, which showed that the eldest lady didn't care about this concubine at all.
Xiao Tao met Li casually, and her tone was a little stiff: "My wife asked Miss Seven to go to Yiyuan before noon tomorrow."
Yulan was a little surprised: "Sister, please reply to my wife. Yulan will definitely go to greet my wife on time."
"Then I won't disturb Miss Seventh's rest." Without any more words, Fu Fu left.
Yulan winked, Xiaoyu was stunned and did not react.
"Reward money." Yulan's lips moved slightly. Xiaoyu suddenly realized and immediately entered the main room quietly.
Yulan said: "Sister Xiaotao, I'm sorry to bother you with a trip so late at night, why don't you go inside and have a cup of hot tea."
"Seventh girl is interested, but my wife is still waiting for me to come back." What's so delicious about the tea in Lujingzhai? Xiaotao secretly cursed. There are unwritten rules in the house, no matter which house the young master goes to run errands for, there are
The seventh girl was the only one who received the reward. Perhaps she was too poor and was notoriously hard-earned... No wonder the servants looked down upon her and neglected her work.
In the time it took for them to chat, Xiaoyu had already come out of the main room, holding a purse in her hand. It was the reward she had just won from the second wife, and she hadn't even had time to open it.
"Sorry to bother you, sister. It's a small thing, but don't think it's too little." Xiaoyu was somewhat reluctant to give up, but still put the purse into Xiaotao's hand. Xiaoyue also felt a pain in her heart when she saw it. She had been with Miss Seven for so long, and this was the first time she had had it.
Rewarding money. This is not enough to keep you warm.
"Oh, how can I ask for the reward from the seventh girl!" Xiao Tao pinched her purse, and her expression immediately softened a lot.
Yu Lan smiled kindly: "Sister, you're welcome. I'll never bother you again in the future."
Xiao Tao stopped refusing and said, "Thank you, Miss Qi, for the reward!" The next time he gave the gift was more sincere.
Xiaoyue sent Xiaotao to the entrance of the courtyard. When she entered the main room, she saw Yulan still reading by the light. Xiaoyu was complaining: "Girl, it's late and you are still reading. Look carefully at your eyes! You have to get up early tomorrow, and the servant will serve you."
Please settle it."
"What time is it?" Yulan put down the book and asked, rubbing her sore eyes.
Xiaoyu said: "The clapper of Haishi has been struck long ago!"
That is ninety o'clock in the evening. Yulan reacted for a moment before converting the time. The ancients had no entertainment and no electric lighting, so they generally went to bed relatively early.
It had been more than twenty days since Yulan had been here, and she still had not adapted to this slow pace of life. She sighed, stood up, and went into the inner room with Xiaoyu's support.
Xiaoyue followed in with a question mark on her face. Yulan sat on the couch while Xiaoyu made the bed for her. She wanted to laugh when she saw Xiaoyue's look.
It is really not easy for a child of thirteen or fourteen to make a living among the women in the house.
Yu Lan smiled and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask?"
"Sister Xiaotao's reward... She is not decent in front of the eldest lady, and she won't be able to help us with anything in the future..."
"I didn't want anything to gain from her!"
"Then why?"
"A young lady must act like a young lady. If I can't even give you a reward, how can my servants regard me as their master? If my servants look down on me, how can our life be easy?"
"But, we don't have money..." How can we have money to show off when we barely have enough to eat?
Yulan smiled: "If it doesn't work out, I'll sell the noodles given by the second wife. If not, I can embroider some small things and sell them to the house. Also, doesn't Mrs. Wang still have two or two months of money? I'll get it back tomorrow.
, by the way, exchange all the silver into copper coins, and find out the purses we embroidered before for later use, so as not to lose the reward later." He directly asked Xiaoyu to come.
Xiaoyu asked with some uncertainty: "Will Mother Wang give us the money?"
Yulan smiled and said, "Don't worry." After being deceived and beaten by the second wife, it would be strange if Mrs. Wang still dared to take Qiao.
Xiaoyue thought for a while and took out a purse, "This is what the second wife gave me today. There should be some scattered silver in it. The girl will take it first for emergencies."
Yulan was moved in her heart and pushed her hand away with a smile. "Since it is given to you, you should keep it properly. Your whole family is also waiting for your money." Xiaoyue was sold halfway.
The Yang family has a sick mother and underage brothers and sisters. They only have a few acres of thin farmland to make ends meet. Xiaoyue's monthly salary almost subsidizes the family income. But since Mrs. Wang came to Lvjingzhai, every month
The hundreds of copper coins he received also came and went intermittently.
Although the Yang Mansion is a wealthy mansion, the life of the people living in the Green Jing Mansion is really miserable.
"...Xiaoyu's share was just given to Xiaotao, and I will make up for it when I get the monthly silver back."
Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "Girl, I am not short of money."
Yu Lan waved his hand: "If I can't even take care of you two, what's the point of living? Don't worry, it will get better."
The first rule of a good boss: fully protect the interests of employees. Otherwise, who would work hard for you? Yulan has always been a good boss.
Xiaoyu Xiaoyue's eyes were red.
Yulan was most afraid of crying, so she changed the topic and asked: "Is it always this early to go to your wife's place to say hello?" Maozhong means that around 6 o'clock in the morning, you have to wash and dress up, and you have to get up after 5 o'clock. This time is very different from your habit.
For modern people who go to bed late and get up late, it is really torture. What's more, a few days ago, because the original owner of this body was seriously ill, the eldest wife was exempted from a month of morning and evening rest.
The time hasn't come yet... There must be something wrong with asking her to go there, right?
Xiaoyue said: "It's usually the end of the month, but in winter it's the beginning of the morning."
Xiaoyu interjected: "...Tomorrow is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It's time to say hello to the old lady." Rulan's grandmother, Mrs. Feng, because she is old and prefers silence to movement, asks her children and grandchildren to say hello every five days.
Does the old lady want to see this granddaughter? In my memory, it seems that the old lady doesn't like her very much! Or is it because the second wife just came here and the eldest lady is unhappy?
Yu Lan thought for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so she put her hand away and gave it up.
