Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 117
Xue Ling woke up in a trance, and suddenly remembered that Xie Qiuniang was asking for tea in the house, and the next moment she fell asleep for no reason.

She immediately got up and went into the room, seeing that Xie Qiuniang was still fine, she let go of her heart: "Why is the girl sitting on the ground, the ground is cold."

Xue Ling helped Xie Qiuniang to get up, and seeing her gloomy expression, she couldn't help asking: "Girl, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm a little sleepy." Xie Qiuniang turned her head and smiled, waved her hand and said, "Go to sleep, I don't want tea."

Xue Ling waited for her to lie down, then extinguished the candle, and then retreated lightly.

Xie Qiuniang recalled the conversation with Li Jingchen just now, and couldn't sleep.

It was almost dawn, and she fell asleep for a while, when she heard the hurried footsteps of snow geese from far to near.

"Girl, girl..."

"What's the fuss, the girl isn't awake yet." Xue Ling reprimanded in a low voice, dragging Xue Yan to prevent her from going in and making trouble for Xie Qiuniang.

She didn't sleep well last night, she kept hearing the sound of Xie Qiuniang turning over in the room, and she didn't calm down until almost dawn.

Although Xue Ling didn't know what bothered Xie Qiuniang, it wasn't something she, a maid, could ask.

It's always good to let her sleep a little longer.Anyway, Mrs. Xie was upset seeing the girl, so she simply told Xie Qiuniang not to go to say hello, why bother to get up early?

But Xueyan hurriedly said: "Sister, Mrs. Yun is here."

Xue Ling didn't care too much: "Mrs. Yun came here in person, maybe it was because she wanted to pick up the eldest lady to stay there?"

"No, it's not," Xue Yan was anxious, stammering and not being able to speak clearly for a while.

Xie Qiuniang was also woken up by her, sat up and said, "Come in."

Xue Ling brought Xue Yan in, and apologized: "It's the servant's fault for asking Xue Yan to wake up the girl."

"It's okay, it's time to get up." Xie Qiuniang didn't sleep well, her face turned pale, she turned her head and asked Xueyan: "What did you hear? You're so flustered?"

Only then did Xue Yan breathe a sigh of relief, and said everything in detail.

It turned out that she went to the kitchen to get breakfast, but who knew that the new maid in Mrs. Xie's yard took it by mistake.

Xueyan knew that the maid had left not long ago, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Just in time, I heard two maidservants chattering at the gate of the courtyard, saying that Mrs. Yun came over in person, implying that she wanted to match the fifteen princes.

"A matchmaker?" Xue Ling's face was full of shock, did the fifteenth prince really like the eldest lady?
Xue Ling muttered inwardly, how many times has the fifteenth prince not seen the eldest lady, and fell in love at first sight, ready to talk about marriage?

It's not right to talk about marriage, Xie's family has a low status, but it's just a merchant, Xie Ruitong is too high to be a princess.

Even if it is to be a side concubine, I am afraid that the eldest lady is willing, and Mrs. Xie is even more willing to nod.

But when she looked at Xie Qiuniang, she saw that her forehead was covered with cold sweat, her face was pale, and even her lips were frighteningly pale, so she couldn't help being shocked: "What's wrong with the girl, why is her face so ugly?"

"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, and I caught a cold again." Xie Qiuniang said a few perfunctory words, suppressed the shock in her heart, turned to Xueyan and asked: "It's just two maids who broke their mouths, it doesn't count, wait a minute Take some silver coins and inquire carefully."

Everyone in Xie's house followed the master, one or two were probably greedy for money, as long as they had money, there was nothing they couldn't find out.

Xueyan responded bluntly, took a small bag of silver coins from Xue Ling, and excitedly went out to inquire.

Seeing her expression, Xue Ling was a little worried: "Miss, do you want to get up to wash up? Or should I let the servants go and ask the doctor to come and have a look?"

"No, go and lock the courtyard door. You can also go to Madam's courtyard for a while later, just say that I caught a cold last night, and I will close the door and see no visitors these days." Xie Qiuniang rubbed her forehead after giving her orders, and was taken by surprise. Xue Ling lay down with her support.

Long Zhiyu asked Mrs. Yun to be a matchmaker, but she felt her eyelids twitching, as if nothing good would happen.

This man is like a thorn in his heart, causing Xie Qiuniang to throb from time to time.

Xie Qiuniang was a little terrified by his ruthlessness towards him back then.

The kind of fear buried deep in the bones is really hard to forget for a while.

Xue Ling watched her close her eyes, and soon fell asleep.It's just that he didn't sleep well, his brows were also furrowed, and he felt a little more pity in his heart.

Although Xie Qiuniang was a few years older than her, she had to take every step of the way when she returned to Xie's mansion from a comfortable place in the countryside, not to mention how tired she was.

If you are not careful, you will be calculated by others, and it will be even more difficult to stay in the mansion in the future.

She didn't dare to leave directly, and asked no one to stay in the yard to wait for her. She waited for half an hour, and when she saw the snow goose came back profusely, she got up and said: "The girl is asleep, and she looks uncomfortable. , don’t wake her up, just wait here. I’ll go to the madam’s side, watch the courtyard gate, and don’t let irrelevant people disturb the girl.”

Xueyan obediently agreed, and watched Xue Ling leave.

She finally inquired about her return, her heart was still beating wildly, but there was a bit of worry in her brows.

Is this news a good thing or a bad thing for the third girl?

Hearing that Mrs. Yun is coming, Xie Ruitong hurriedly urged: "Everyone is slow, how do you do things? If you ruin my good deed, be careful with your skin!"

The more flustered you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

The servant girl accidentally fell and pushed to the side who was holding the water basin, and there was chaos for a while.

Not to mention that the ground was wet, the makeup box was also dropped, and the clothes fell on the ground and became dirty.

Xie Ruitong was already in a hurry, but when she saw this, she was even more annoyed: "You bastards, you only want to make trouble. Later, I will ask my mother to replace you all. Everyone can't do anything, so what are you doing here? ?”

The nanny hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Young lady, why should you be as knowledgeable as these maidservants? You'd better dress up and go to see Mrs. Yun, don't delay the business."

"That's right, Mammy combed my hair. Others are clumsy, but they can't compare to Mammy's skill." Only then did Xie Ruitong temporarily calm down, not wanting to spoil her good deeds for these maids.

Mammy winked and asked the maid to find a dress of a similar color from the box, then quickly picked up the makeup box, and quickly tidied up the floor.

She quickly combed Xie Ruitong's hair, and put a white jade hairpin on her: "The girl is as beautiful as a flower bone, no wonder Mrs. Yun treats the eldest girl as her own sister after seeing her only once. In the future, she will definitely It is the life of marrying a noble person and becoming rich and powerful."

Xie Ruitong looked in the mirror, the girl's beautiful face passed by the nanny's skillful hands, she was pretty and lovely.

She looked around and listened to Mammy's flattering words, she felt beautiful in her heart.It seems that it has not been long before I can see that I am the mistress of the palace.

Although it is not enough to be a concubine, there are only a few unqualified concubines around the fifteenth prince. Xie Ruitong used to be a concubine.

The princess has not yet married, so she has the final say in the palace?
The more Xie Ruitong thought about it, the more beautiful she became, she put her hand on her mother's hand and stood up with a smile, "Don't make Mrs. Yun and Mother wait too long, let's go to the flower hall now."

Seeing that she didn't look angry any more, Mammy continued to boast with a smile: "The girl is dressed like a fairy, the two ladies will definitely not be able to recognize her."

She was delighted to hear that, and glanced at Mammy: "You are the only one with a sweet mouth, and I will reward Mammy with a purse."

Mammy replied with a smile all over her face, but her heart slandered.Xie Ruitong never rewarded people around her easily, even if she rewarded, it was all a purse.There is at most one silver nude in the purse, at most three.What can this little money do, not even go to a restaurant to have a good meal.

Apart from other things, Xie Ruitong has learned ten percent from Mrs. Xie just about being stingy.

Xie Ruitong walked to the front of the flower hall, but was blocked by Xuehui, and her face immediately turned dark.

She dressed up beautifully just to give Mrs. Yun a good impression, but now she doesn't let herself in?
Feeling overwhelmed, Xie Ruitong was worried that Mrs. Yun who was inside heard it, so she reprimanded in a low voice: "You are so brave, you dare to block the way?"

Xuehui had a bitter face, since Madam Wang was kicked out of the mansion, Mrs. Xie hated her even more.

It's fine if she can't serve her personally, but now she is only doing the work of a little maid, guarding the door.
