This time the New Year's gift sent by Hebei, in addition to the public middle school, the old lady and Yuchen also had gifts. The old lady is a longevity crutch, made of an extremely rare and precious wood, which is only available in Chengde, Hebei Province. Its wood is white and flawless, delicate as jade, and has the reputation of false ivory.

What Yuchen got was also a wood carved flower and bird picture hanging screen, the flowers and birds on the hanging screen seemed to be alive, and the carving was extremely fine.

Yuchen liked this thing very much, not only because this thing was ingenious, but more importantly, it was given by her father. In these years, there will be gifts for every New Year's holiday, and there are also gifts on birthdays. Every time he gets something, Yuchen will hang it out, and this time is no exception.

Yuxi has the ear of Hongshan, and he is very clear about the major affairs of the mansion. So Yuchen got a hanging screen, and she soon knew about it.

Hong Shan didn't want to say it, the third girl got a gift from the master, but her girl didn't have anything, and the girl knew that it must be uncomfortable. It's just that Yuxi opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he couldn't say no.

In her previous life, Yuxi was sad about this for a long time, but now she didn't pay attention to it at all: "There are no rare things in the capital, as long as you have money, you can buy them, just say this in front of me." ”

Hong Shan looked at Yuxi carefully, found that she was not sad, and said boldly: "Girl, I don't think it should be the old man's meaning, but the third lady's meaning." Hongshan hopes that Yuxi will not resent the third master, after all, the third master is his father, and his own girl will have to rely on his father in the future.

Yuxi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who you mean. Is there anything else going on in the mansion these two days?"

Hong Shan shook her head and said, "During this time, the mansion was calm and there was nothing going on. ”

When Yuxi heard this, she didn't react, turned around and looked at her chess game again. Nowadays, Yuxi reads chess games as long as he has time, plays chess while watching chess games, and uses one person as two people, forgetting to sleep and eat. According to Mo Ju and others, their girl has gone crazy.

Mother Shen watched Hong Shan walk out of the room, lowered her voice and asked, "Did the girl say anything?"

Hong Shan knew that if she said that the girl didn't care about hanging the screen, Shen's mother would definitely tell the old lady about it. I don't know why, Hong Shan has a feeling that the girls don't have any expression on their faces, but they actually know what they are doing in their hearts. Subconsciously, Hong Shan didn't tell the truth: "The girl is very sad, she said that she wanted to stay alone for a while, and she didn't want to be disturbed." ”

Shen's mother was a little skeptical and asked, "Really?"

Hong Shan scolded in her heart, this kind of unflattering thing will make her rush forward, if the old lady punishes the girl, the responsibility will be pushed on her at that time, this Shen Pozi is really good. However, Hong Shan didn't dare to offend Mrs. Shen, and said with a smile: "What did I lie to my mother for?"

Shen's mother was skeptical, but when she saw that Yuxi's eyes were red and her face was not good, she believed Hongshan's words.

Yuxi looked at Shen's mother's appearance and felt a little uncomfortable. She really doesn't understand what the old lady thinks now? Could it be that she is afraid that she will retaliate because of the doctor's affairs, not to mention that she has this ability, even if she has this ability in the future, she will not be able to retaliate because of filial piety: "Hongshan, let your brother send a message to Mother Fang, and ask her to go to the house for the New Year." "She has something she wants to tell Fang's mother. I've been busy before, but my husband will have a holiday on these two days, and she can relax for a while.

Hong Shan replied crisply, "Okay." ”

The buns made by Fang's mother are very popular and in short supply. The business is good, the income is naturally high, and after deducting various expenses, the bun shop has a net profit of more than 30 taels per month. This amount is not bad in Shangyuan Street. Fortunately, the people on Shangyuan Street knew that the owner of this steamed bun shop was from the Guogong Mansion, and no one dared to make up their minds, otherwise there would definitely be trouble.

The bun shop is profitable, and Yuxi is naturally much looser, and the maid next to her is a direct beneficiary.

Shen's mother opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. She has been serving the girl for more than half a year, but the girl is still very wary of her. Mother Shen is not stupid, she knows what the girl is guarding against, but this is all ordered by the old lady, and she can't disobey. So the girl's attitude towards her was lukewarm, and she could only endure it.

In winter, it gets dark quickly.

Hong Shan watched Shen's mother leave the Rose Courtyard, and then entered the house, and said to Yuxi, who was writing, "Girl, the slave has a few words to say. ”

Yuxi put down the brush and said, "If you have anything to say, you say." ”

Hong Shan said respectfully: "The slave knows that the girl has a plan in her heart. It's just that there are some things that the girl still needs to scruple about. Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Hongshan didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Just like today, the girl is too indifferent to the old lady who only gave gifts to the third girl but didn't give you a watch, if the old lady knows, she will definitely be displeased." "Indifferent, it is equivalent to not having zĂ i expectations for my father. In the eyes of the old lady, the girl is dissatisfied with the third master, and she should be filial to her children.

Yuxi's face was solemn and he said, "What do you want to say? Yuxi was worried that Hongshan was digging a hole for her, so she had to be cautious.

Hong Shan said: "Girl, the slave maid said a word of transgression, even if the master is partial, the girl has to be a filial child." "Only filial children will be liked and reassured.

Yuxi stared at Hongshan, as if she could stare out of a hole: "I wonder why you are saying these things to me. "If it's really digging a pit, it can only be said that Hong Shan's courage is too big, because if she is not careful, she will have to fall into the pit herself.

Hongshan looked up and said, "I believe in the girl. "As for believing what the girl must know.

Yuxi looked at Hongshan very unexpectedly, this is Toucheng.

Hong Shan was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she didn't regret what she had just said. Some time ago it was her turn to take a vacation, and she told her father about the girl's recent cousin. Her father said that even if the fourth girl is not as big as the third girl in the future, it will definitely not be bad in the future, and her father asked her to wait for the girl to be accepted by Mr. Song and serve wholeheartedly.

Hong Shan thought about it for a long time, and finally made her stand before Mr. Song accepted the girl. Otherwise, when the girl worships under Mr. Song, everyone knows that the girl's future is not bad, and at that time, she will definitely not be able to get the girl's reuse. If it can't be reused, and it goes against the old lady's wishes, it's not cost-effective.

Yuxi said: "Your father is the second housekeeper, even if you don't rely on me, you can find a good way out in the future." Sue me, why are you doing this? I want to listen to the truth. ”

Since Hong Shan has made up her mind to take this path, she will not leave any more leeway: "Girl, I originally wanted to serve the girl for five or six years, and I was seventeen or eighteen at that time, and I also reached the age of marriage. If you marry outside, you will have a good life. "When Hong Shan said that marrying outside, she means marrying into a good people's house to be a good lady, so as to get rid of the fate of being a slave and a maid.

Yuxi asked, "What's wrong?" Hongshan suddenly changed her mind, it must have been something happening, and it must have been a big deal.

Hong Shan's eyes were red: "I have a cousin who used to serve the old lady. A few years ago, he was released to marry a scholar. In the autumn of this year, my cousin-in-law was lifted, and after that, their family began to dislike my cousin for being a maid before, and felt that it would damage her family's reputation. A few days ago, they also said that they were going to divorce my cousin, and my father came to the door, and their family cared about the door of the Guogong Mansion in the end, but my cousin is having a hard time now. Hongshan had a good relationship with her cousin, and seeing her cousin haggard in just a few months, her heart was cold.

Yuxi asked very calmly: "Are you afraid that you will also fall into the same situation as your cousin, so you don't want to marry outside?"

Hong Shan directly said what was in her heart: "The identity of the people in the mansion is the same, they will definitely not dislike my identity." And the people in the mansion know the roots, so they don't have to worry about being deceived. "Her cousin-in-law used to be loyal and honest, otherwise her sister wouldn't have chosen that person. It can only be said that the man was so well disguised that the whole family was blind. And looking in the mansion, there is no such worry. After all, in the same mansion, it's no problem to inquire about a person's details.

This incident hit Hong Shan very hard, making her reluctant to marry outside.

Yuxi didn't answer Hongshan directly, but asked a question: "What's going on with the copybook?" But when it comes to the letter, Hong Shan is stupid and tells her those brainless words. At that time, Yuxi felt that it was strange, but she didn't ask much.

Hong Shan knelt on the ground and said with a white face: "Mother Shen asked me to tell her every move of the girl, I don't want to do such a thing, and it just so happened that Sister Ziyi came to me to talk about the calligraphy." Hongshan did this to make Yuxi alienate her and not let her serve her closely, so that she would know that Yuxi's affairs would be less, and there would be nothing to report to Shen's mother.

Yuxi suddenly realized that there was a reason: "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to give you a good future?"

Hong Shan had already let go and said, "That's my life, too." "In fact, it can be seen from Fang's mother's matter that as long as she is dedicated to the girl, the girl will definitely not ignore her.

It was extremely cost-effective for her to be able to win Hongshan's loyalty. Yuxi said, "As long as you can do it, I won't let you fall into your cousin's situation." ”

Hongshan's heart returned to her stomach. Her cousin's affair made her feel cold, which also made her dare not marry outside. And if she marries into the mansion, she must find a backer. Although her father is the second housekeeper, he is old, and her two brothers are not clever people, so they will not be able to take over her father's errands in the future. If you don't have a strong backer, you will have a hard time in the future. This is also the real reason why she defected to Cheng Yuxi. For the sake of the future, Hong Shan decided to take a gamble. As for whether you win or lose, time will tell.
