Chapter 591: Mistaken
Chapter 591
Niu Hulu, who was already barely standing, fell to the ground staggeringly even though the paper ball didn't hit her face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Fujin?" Niu Hulu, who was sitting on the ground, didn't care about the crumbling little cui on her bun, and called in a trembling voice.
"Don't call it Ben Fujin, it's useless!" Wulanala looked at the pale Niu Hulu clan with great contempt, and said hatefully, "This little thing can't be done properly, what else do you say? When you entered the mansion, Ben Fujin supported you several times, but you fell out of favor without even touching the side of the fourth master, if it weren't for your stomach fighting and getting a man in one fell swoop, do you think where you should be now?"
Next to the lotus pond, the ruins of the former Bilian Garden, do you remember?
If you don't want to live there, you can give Ben Fujin some skin. After saying that, she didn't want to look at Niu Hulu anymore, and coldly ordered Mama Fu to drag her out of the upper room and let her kneel under the porch.
In the upper room, where calm was restored, the Wulanala clan ordered someone to pick up the note, took it in his hand and looked at it again, and then handed it to Mama Fu, and asked in a deep voice: "You are the old man in the house, and you are also familiar with the housekeeper's grandmother, can you tell whose handwriting it is?"
Mama Fu took two steps forward with a short body, glanced at the note in her hand, and replied with a calm face: "Back to the master's words, the slave and maid are clumsy, I really can't see whose handwriting it is, do you think it will be sent by someone from the front yard, after all, Chen Fu has already intervened." β
The news that Chen Fu ordered someone to take away the things in the big kitchen naturally couldn't be hidden from the main courtyard.
It was only because the Wulanala clan had the bottom in his heart that he did not summon Chen Fu to come over for questioning, but instead arranged for Mama Fu to go to the big kitchen, and beat the people in the big kitchen who usually loved to pull his wife's tongue to help Chen Fu deal with the aftermath.
"Maybe.
If this note was really sent to the Guerjia clan by someone from Chen Fu's side, then Niu Hulu is afraid that there is no chance to turn over, you take this opportunity to take advantage of the people around her who can be used, and it is best to firmly grasp the family behind Niu Hulu into our hands. What Mama Fu said was exactly what the Ulanala clan was worried about.
Don't look at the two capable people around the Guerjia clan, but she really didn't take these people in her eyes, the master is not angry, even if the palace maid is capable, it will be in vain, so the Wulanala clan really doesn't think that they can receive such a rumor like Yaoqin, and if it is really Yaoqin and others who have received the rumor, then this note will not fall into the hands of Niu Hulu's family.
Alas...... Thinking of this, the Ulanala clan couldn't help but sigh.
'If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. β
- Although there was no such Internet hot sentence in the Qing Dynasty, it did not prevent the Wulanala clan from having such feelings, and when she thought of Niu Hulu's unconcealed mouth, she felt a little bit of fire in her heart.
"You ordered someone to keep an eye on the movement of the Dianxi Courtyard, and it was best to find out the content of the Guerjia clan's reply to the fourth master, I don't want to be bitten by her defenselessly. Although the Wulanala clan with a heart jam wanted to wipe out the Niu Hulu clan silently immediately, but when she thought of what the Niu Hulu clan did for her, she could only endure it silently.
"Yes, the slave will arrange it. Mama Fu should claim that it is, and go directly to the backyard to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the tip of the west courtyard.
The backyard has a partial room, and the people who live in it are the lowest-level palace maids who do the sprinkling and sweeping work in the yard, don't look at the status of these people is very low, but they are the most able to collect all kinds of information silently, and it is precisely because of this that Mama Fu treats them very generously.
And these rough palace maids are also grateful to repay their kindness, or they are desperate to climb up, so they often quietly pass on some gossip they heard from other places to Mama Fu.
This time, the person that Mama Fu is looking for is Xiao Tao, the rough maid who is responsible for taking care of the corridor in front of the main hall.
Xiao Tao is not born in Shangsanqi Baoyi, she is one of the displaced people who entered Beijing with refugees during the locust plague in Hejian Mansion last time, and the little girl who was bought back when the housekeeper mother supplemented the rough servants in the house, she has been in the house for three years, and she is only ten years old, plus she was born with a simple appearance, so it is easiest to hear some news that is not easy to hear.
"Mama, why do you have time to come to the slave maid, sit down and have a sip of tea!" Xiao Tao's roommate, there are three other little maids who are about the same age, Xiao Tao saw Fu Mama enter the door, so she hurriedly sent the three of them out, and pulled her sleeves to wipe and wipe the edge of the kang where several people lived, and then warmly invited Fu Mama to sit down, carefully accompanied by a smile, and asked in a low voice.
The tea here is all coarse tea that Mama Fu doesn't even look at, but in the face of Xiao Tao's sincere smiling face, Mama Fu still took it and wiped her lips, smiled and patted the position next to her, and motioned for Xiao Tao to sit down and speak, "Your child has been in the house for three years, are you still adapting?"
"I'm not afraid of grandma jokes, slaves and maids lived very hard when they were young, not because the family was poor, and the days were hard, but my father and mother were too partial to my younger brother, not that the slave didn't love my brother, but I felt that my father and mother were too partial, I was just five years old and stood on a small stool to cook for my mother, and when I was six or seven years old, I followed my father and mother to do farm work in the field, even so, my body was injured all the year round, so when my hometown was hit by a disaster, the slave and maid came to the capital with other people, and I didn't feel bitter, but I had a feeling of escapingγ When Xiao Tao heard this, the tears in her eyes crackled and fell, and she sold herself at a young age to enter the house to be a maid, she didn't feel bitter, but when she thought of the days when she was a child, she was full of bitter water, and it was rare for someone to listen to her, she couldn't help but be very moved.
Looking at Xiao Tao's pitiful appearance with her shoulders shrunk, it made Mama Fu feel very sorry, but they are also slaves, who can help anyone!
"Now, there's an opportunity for you to stop being the lowliest rough servant. Mama Fu, who had made up her mind, sniffed, pulled the thin little peach in front of her, and said seriously, "Fu Jin needs help from someone around him, I think you are the most suitable, I want you to go to the flower room to be a third-class palace maid who takes care of the flowers and trees, and is responsible for taking care of the flowers and trees outside the courtyard of the West Courtyard, are you willing?"
"Do you have to go?" Xiao Tao twisted the corners of her clothes, her eyes showed a hint of cowardice, and asked in a low voice.
What a kid after all!
- The eldest grandmother thought so, reached out and touched the top of Xiao Tao's hair, nodded slowly, and said in a low voice: "You should understand, if you refuse to go, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the mansion, but if you go, you won't be a person from the main courtyard in the future, Fujin and I can no longer protect you, everything depends on you." β
Hearing this, even if Xiao Tao still has a little naivety, she understands at this time, she nodded with a bitter face, and said with a smile that is so well-behaved that people are a little distressed: "The slave knows that the slave will definitely not embarrass the mother, the slave and the maid will go." β
"Poor child.
If there is really any trouble that you can't handle yourself, you can go to Lingyu, the palace maid who manages the flower room, she has a very good relationship with me, and I don't think I really care about you. The eldest grandmother took out a lilac purse from her arms, handed it to Xiao Tao's hand, and said softly.
This is the last talisman she can give to Xiao Tao.
Back then, she begged Fujin to reward a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng to save Lingyu's life, so that Lingyu regarded her as a reborn parent all these years, so if Lingyu protected Xiao Tao in the flower room, Xiao Tao could live more easily.
"Mama, is the slave going to leave now?" Xiao Tao did not refuse, smiled and carefully put the purse into the pocket in the placket, looked up with a round little face, and asked softly.
"You pack up now, and Mama will have someone send you over later. After speaking, Mama Fu left the side room quickly with a little weakness, found the second-class palace maid Chunyue who was on duty under the corridor, and whispered a few words.
After all, sending someone out of the house for no reason will definitely attract the attention of others, so she always has to make arrangements, and the so-called arrangement is naturally to let the second-class palace maid Chunyue excuse Xiao Tao for being on an errand, and then make this matter to Fujin, that is, to go through the motions.
Only this time, this cutscene is a little real.
Because just when Mama Fu arranged these details and got up to greet the housekeeper's hand, the Wulanala clan, who was a little stuffy in the room, led Qixiang and the others out of the upper room and walked out of the courtyard, and when passing through the corridor in front of the main hall, the Wulanala clan actually slipped and fell.
"Hiss......"
Wulanala rubbed her ankles, which had been swollen into steamed buns, couldn't help but gasp, looking at the green jade floor tiles in front of her, which were obviously sprinkled with water, her face was red, and she said hatefully: "Qi Xiang, help me into the main hall to rest." β
She didn't want to be seen in this embarrassment, so she didn't rush to send off the palace maid who was responsible for cleaning this corridor, nor did she rush to ask people to go to the front yard to ask the doctor to come over, but pulled a veil to cover her face, and asked Qi Xiang to help her into the warm pavilion of the main hall to wash.
After a simple wash, the Ulanala clan put an ice veil on her ankles, crooked on the wide couch, looked coldly at the little peach kneeling down, and said in a deep voice: "The family has family rules, and if you make a mistake, you must admit punishment. β
The little peach kneeling at the bottom of the head was only thought to be arranged by Mama Fu, and all this was done for outsiders to see, so although she cried and begged for mercy, she was not so afraid, "The master spares his life, the master spares his life!"
"If you don't hurry up and drag it down, you will make a noise about the master to rest. Qi Xiang, who was standing on the side, saw that the Ulanala clan frowned, glanced at the rough envoy standing at the door, and commanded in a cold voice.
Xiao Tao was dragged out by the rough mother-in-law in this way.
When Mama Fu came back from the housekeeper's mother, she learned that Xiao Tao was beaten and driven out of the yard, and she hurriedly came to the Wulanala clan, after all, if there was no master to speak, Xiao Tao, a punished slave who made the master unhappy, was not qualified to ask the doctor in the house to see her, and she could only rely on her own resistance to survive.
She really couldn't bear to let such a half-grown child be wasted like this.
You know, no one ordered in advance, those rough mothers-in-law who beat the board are all beaten to death, and if the board goes down, it is a big man, and he also lost half his life, not to mention a delicate little girl!
It's just that she came to see the Ulanala clan with confidence, and she was slapped in the face as soon as she opened her mouth.
Wulanala squinted at Mama Fu, who pleaded for Xiao Tao, pointed to the ankle where she had been injured by the medicine, and said coldly: "Do you think I shouldn't punish her if I hurt my leg?"
"The master is angry, the slave doesn't mean this, it's just that she is a half-grown child, these twenty boards are beaten, if you don't invite someone to take a look, then even if you can't get through it, not only that, but she is the most suitable candidate to go to the West Courtyard to keep an eye on, and she must be let go to the flower room earlier. Mama Fu's heart trembled, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
"There are more than 30 palace maids on errands in this courtyard, from top to bottom.
Mama, I don't believe that there is no one else who is suitable except her, besides, since it is to be sent to the flower room as a punishment, it must be true, otherwise you will be a fool when everyone else!" The Ulanala clan attaches the most importance to the image, and when she thinks that she is going to be lame for a few months because of Xiao Tao's mistake, the little flame in her heart is like spraying hot oil and bubbling up, so that she will let Xiao Tao go, how she is unwilling.
Thinking of this, the Wulanala clan even had opinions about Mama Fu, plus her ankle really hurt a lot, so she waved her hand impatiently, and said coldly: "That's it, if she can get through, then let her go to the flower room to be a third-class palace maid, if she can't get through, then she can only be considered unlucky, you can arrange someone else!"
After saying that, she coldly asked Mama Fu to go down.
Mama Fu wept and left the main hall, stood under the porch, looked at the sky a little blankly, and then looked at the corner of the courtyard, which was obviously washed, sighed long, got up and walked to the backyard.
Without Peach, there are others.
But in all fairness, Xiao Tao is the most suitable person, she is smart, clever, honest, and pleasing in appearance...... It's just a pity that her luck is really not good.
"You go to the housekeeper Mama Qin, and ask her to find some good medicine for Xiao Tao. Mama Fu walked around the corridor in front of the upper room, turned her head to Mulan who was following her, and whispered.
Mulan is the personal palace maid next to Mama Fu, and the honor and disgrace are all hung on Mama Fu.
Different from the other palace maids in the courtyard, what she is most afraid of is that someone will come to compete with her for the importance of Mama Fu, so when she saw that Mama Fu valued Xiao Tao so much, she couldn't help but feel disgusted with Xiao Tao in her heart, "Mama, the master doesn't care about her anymore, why do you bother to do favors for her!"
"After all, they are all hard-working children, so if you can, you can help!
Don't follow me, hurry up and find the housekeeper, I don't know how the child is now!" Mama Fu didn't notice the difference in Mulan's expression, she only ******** immersed in her guilt, waved her hand, and urged.
Mulan stomped her feet with a bitter face, turned around and ran out of the main courtyard.
