"Yan'er came back as an errand this morning, but Lianzi hasn't come back yet. Does Grandma want to look for her? I'll ask someone to call her." Zhu Qing just thought that Lu Hanzhi came to Lianzi for something, so she replied, Yan'er and Lianzi They were all brought by Lu Hanzhi. After arriving at the Cheng family, the whole family settled in the place where the servants of the Cheng family lived. It was easy to find them.

"Well, call them all." Lu Hanzhi replied.

Although Zhu Qing was a little surprised, he didn't ask any more questions and went outside to call someone.Yan'er came back early in the morning to work as an errand, and soon came in to reply, saying: "My slave, I want to pay my respects to Grandma. I wonder why Grandma is looking for my slave?"

Lu Hanzhi looked at Yan'er for a while. Yan'er was her dowry maid, but the ones she usually used were green grass and green lotus. When she arrived at Cheng's house, she added autumn cicadas and white chrysanthemums. Yan'er was young and only followed around in the yard. , Lu Hanzhi naturally doesn't value her that much.Looking carefully now, Yan'er is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and has not yet grown up, but she looks pretty and cute. Although she lowers her head and dare not look around, she can still tell that she has drawn her eyebrows carefully. Rouged.

As someone who is close to the master, a maid should of course not be seen with unkempt hair and unkempt appearance, but after all, maids are working, and they don't usually dress up carefully, especially Yan'er who is not very young.

Yan'er was a little panicked when she didn't hear her master speak, and took a cautious look. Seeing Lu Hanzhi's probing look, she couldn't help but said, "Grandma, did you do something wrong?"

"Have you done anything wrong? Do you still want me, the master, to tell you?" Lu Hanzhi did not directly convict Yan'er, but subconsciously tested her.

Yan'er was not very old, so when she saw her master's face was slightly cold and said this sentence, she was so frightened that she knelt down with a plop and said: "Grandma, please forgive me. I know you are wrong. I shouldn't covet Grandma's praise. I rushed to the Zheng Mansion to send a message to Grandma. I know I was wrong and I won’t dare to do it next time!”

Lu Hanzhi just cheated casually, and Yan'er said this series of words, and she knew it in her heart, and said to Bai Ju: "Take her down and ask her carefully. When Lianzi comes, bring her to me immediately."

Bai Ju didn't say much, and went to do it after Lu Hanzhi's order, but Bicao looked confused and asked: "Grandma, is what Yan'er said wrong?"

Bi Cao was not stupid, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to be Lu Hanzhi's maid, but Yan'er was brought by the Lu family. She never thought that Yan'er would have problems, and she didn't expect that Lu Hanzhi would make a decision without asking any questions.

Lu Hanzhi glanced at Qiu Chan and motioned for Qiu Chan to explain to her.Qiu Chan immediately understood what Lu Hanzhi meant and said, "Sister Bicao, think about it, if grandma asked you that, how would you answer?"

"My slave, you don't know?" Bicao thought for a while. If she knew that she had done something wrong, she would apologize to her master without asking. If she didn't know, and her master said so, she would naturally answer that she didn't know.

"So you think Yan'er has no problem?" Lu Hanzhi played with the small ornaments on the table and said casually. Yan'er's admission of mistake seemed to have been carefully considered for a long time before Lu Han just asked and said it outright.

Bi Cao suddenly understood and suddenly became angry again, "Grandma is so kind, how dare she betray her!" Lu Hanzhi was not that angry. As a mistress, she thought she was quite tolerant and generous. Servants are not harsh, but as a servant, the difficulties they face are not just the harshness of their masters. They may be coveting the benefits given by others, or they may be forced by others, or they may be both.Lu Hanzhi doesn't think she can be praised by everyone, and she never dares to say that she can protect everyone around her. Of course she feels uncomfortable when people around her betray her, but it's not very sad either.

While Lu Hanzhi was thinking wildly, Zhu Qing brought lotus seeds.Lianzi is older than Yan'er, smart and clever. Although she is still a third-class maid, she can be lifted up at a glance. Naturally, she wants to show off in front of her master at this time. She asked for leave because she had a cold. Chengyuan has My little master, when the servants are sick, they always take leave and go home. When they are well, they come back for fear of passing the disease on to my little master.

Lianzi was called by Zhuqing, and she put a cloth scarf around her face, greeted Lu Hanzhi, and said, "Grandma is in a hurry to call the slave, but what's the matter?"

Lu Hanzhi saw that she was trying her best to cheer up, but she could also tell that her face was not good. It could be seen that her illness was not cured yet, and he did not want to make her suffer any more, so he asked directly: "Did you go to Zheng Mansion to look for me yesterday?"

Lianzi was stunned, as if she didn't understand why her master asked this. She knew that Lu Hanzhi would go to Zheng's house yesterday, but, "Yesterday morning, I had a fever. I was afraid that it would be spread to others. I took leave early in the morning. I was there all day yesterday." He is lying at home, unable to even leave the door, and has never been to the Zheng Mansion."

Looking at Lianzi's condition, it really didn't look like he could run out. Lu Hanzhi was convinced, and then asked: "When did you get sick? Why are you so sick? Have you seen a doctor?"

When Lu Hanzhi asked about his condition, Lianzi was a little flattered and said: "It snowed two days ago. Maybe I caught a cold accidentally. It was no big deal at first. I took the medicine from the pharmacy and it seemed to be effective. It was no big deal." I asked for leave, but I didn’t expect that I had a fever when I woke up early yesterday morning. I asked for leave and went home and asked the doctor, who said it was just a cold and that if I took some medicine to recover, it would be fine.”

There is a doctor and a pharmacy in the house, and servants can also go to the doctor and get medicine, which is cheaper than outside.Lu Hanzhi nodded and said, "It looks better today, but you still have a fever?"

"I no longer had a fever yesterday afternoon. I was just groggy after taking medicine. I woke up today just a little weak. I was afraid of spreading it to other people in the yard, so I asked Chunhong to ask for another day's leave for the slave." Lianzi didn't. Thinking that her master asked so carefully, she explained the matter in detail. Although she was a little unsure of her master's thoughts, she knew that Lu Hanzhi was not a harsh master and would not punish her for asking for leave.

After Lu Hanzhi heard her explain the situation, he knew what was going on. He nodded and said, "In that case, you can go back and recuperate. You are not in a hurry to come back. You will rest at home for two more days and then come back when you feel better."

After listening to Lu Hanzhi's words, Lianzi secretly said that she didn't know what happened in the yard. However, she was getting better. Although she didn't have any fever anymore, she still had a severe headache and didn't have the energy to think about it. After hearing that Lu Hanzhi gave her two days off, she thanked Lu Hanzhi. Then he withdrew.

After Lianzi left, Lu Hanzhi looked at Zhuqing and said, "Lianzi and Yan'er live in the same house?"

"Yes, Lianzi, Yan'er and two other third-class people live in the same house. Do you want to call them for questioning?" Zhu Qing guessed a little bit and was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that there would be such a person in Chengyuan. thing.
