Splendid little maid

Chapter 35 The Loyal Servant
therefore.

Chen Xi's first guess is that the eldest wife is more. After all, she is the mistress of the house and it is easy to start. As long as the old lady is coaxed well, this little kid with no parents, no mother, and no reputation will let her bully and vent her anger?

She guessed in her mind without stopping, and quickly opened the kitchen door to look inside. There were three large stoves and many small clay ovens.

Food was never in stock.

Chen Xi went in and rummaged around, only to find a small half bag of coarse grain powder that was hard to swallow.

This situation is really shocking.

She didn't even know how the third young master and his nanny survived.

Chen Xi closed the door heavily.

Just now.

There was a sudden movement nearby. Although it was not loud, it was very obvious in the quiet courtyard.

Like a low exclamation.

Chen Xi got on guard, she looked around vigilantly, guessing who it was.

To know.

There should be no one here.

Chen Xi tiptoed to the door of the firewood room and picked up a firewood stick in his hand.

Immediately followed the sound.

When she saw a trail, she groped along it and found it after turning a few turns.
A small package was thrown in.

Chen Xi fixed his eyes and found that this place should have been a courtyard gate.

It should be able to lead to other courtyards, but because the east courtyard is to be isolated, it is now piled up by large stones, and only a figure can be seen there through the cracks in the stones.

"Who is there!"

Chen Xi preemptively scolded, she knew that the people over there should not be bad.

Otherwise, I wouldn't come to deliver things.

"Magpie girl?"

A vicissitudes and familiar voice also came from the other side of the stone wall, but it was hoarse.

Isn't that Mrs. Zhang?

Chen Xi was suddenly surprised, and said, "Grandma Zhang? It's you? Why are you here?"

Mrs. Zhang was so excited when she saw the person coming, she hurriedly slapped the wall and stamped her feet, shouting, "It's me, it's me!"

Seeing that it was her, Chen Xi relaxed and walked over quickly, only to see that Mrs. Zhang's rather black hair had turned gray?
It's only been a day since we parted, why do you feel that it's been so long?

There is so much going on.

Chen Xi was very sad.

The two looked at each other silently.

It took a while to slow down.

Chen Xi asked suspiciously: "Grandma Zhang, do you know that we were chosen here to deliver things to us? Or did you often come here to visit old friends?"

Chen Xi was very calm.

The friendship between them wouldn't make her take the risk of coming over to give something, right?
If it wasn't for them, then there would be only the poor one who was still sleeping.

Chen Xi suddenly remembered that Mrs. Zhang always said that she likes dim sum and other food, but she never saw her eat it in front of her.

Maybe it's all filled in here,
She was suddenly dumbfounded.

So faithful.

Over there the stone wall.

Grasping the stone tightly, Mrs. Zhang choked up and said, "Girl, if I should make you happy, I should have said that I came for you, but I don't want to lie to you, girl, you are a smart person."

She said wiping away tears.

said again.

"Old lady, I came here for the third young master. Six years ago, I came here to take a peek, only to find that the dog servants here dared to embezzle the third young master's food and daily necessities.

I searched and inquired, and it turned out that these people really took the third young master's things to do business with Mrs. Du in the big kitchen, relying on her to sell them for money when they went out to buy meat and vegetables. "

Mrs. Zhang trembled with anger when she mentioned this, and gritted her teeth to speak.

"Those good fabrics, high-quality cotton, and good little ornaments were all sold by them, and the share of the third young master's fine grains was eaten by those people, and they dared to exchange their own rations for the third young master. How can you let him eat rough things?"

Mrs. Zhang was angry and hated as she spoke, she thumped the stone wall twice, and cried with tears in her eyes: "The third young master is miserable, I see that he is having a hard time, and he has to come here every now and then."

It's a pity that she is a rough old woman, and she can't get much. She can only play tricks to ask for some rewards from the big and small maids, and send the good ones.

Mrs. Zhang was about to go blind from crying, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt that God had no eyes.

Sigh that good people don't live long.

Is it close to what she guessed?

Chen Xi was silent for a while after listening, and then said: "Then why didn't you report it?"

Mrs. Zhang hated it, she cried: "If I have the appearance and identity of a girl, if I can get close to the old lady, I will have to kneel down if I keep it. Even if I risk my life, I have to tell the old lady about the matter, but I can't what."

The women like her are usually the maids of various courtyards.

It is rare to even bring a nanny, let alone see the masters.

The nanny and the big maids are also worried that these rough servants will disturb the master.

How to let them see.

Hastily reported.

If there is a good or bad.

She has to get in by herself.

Then there would be one less person that the third young master could rely on.

That's why he didn't dare to act rashly.

Mrs. Zhang cried again: "Nowadays, only the old lady is really concerned about the third young master. I don't believe that she doesn't know about the eldest lady. Although she can't take care of all the things going up and down in this mansion, the things in the east courtyard must be kept secret." But her."

That one is smart, and he is jealous of the third young master in his heart, so he thinks of ways to torment him.

Chen Xilian took this time to ask Mrs. Zhang three times in total. The first time she only gave a general idea, and the second time she lost control and revealed some details because of the loss of the nanny.

This third time is now, she no longer hides from her, and tells everything.

Mrs. Zhang said that she did work under the second wife in the past.

She sold herself cheaply through relationships, and she was no longer young when she entered the mansion.

At that time, the second wife had just entered the house not long ago, and the old lady had already let her run the house.

Everyone in the house said that the second grandma was cruel and merciless to her servants.

The rules she made were numerous and cumbersome, and punishing the wrong servants was also heavy handed.

At first, Mrs. Zhang followed the trend and secretly scolded her.

It turns out.

After Mrs. Zhang was isolated and beaten and humiliated by other maids because of some things, she was rescued by the second wife and a doctor was invited to treat her.

Otherwise.

Mrs. Zhang won't be just slightly limping now.

"At that time, everyone said that the second wife was a villain, and she didn't show affection at all, but no one said that she was upright, and that rewards and punishments were clearly defined. Although she was strict with others, she treated her servants very well. When she was in charge, If the rough envoys in the mansion are sick, they can be treated by a doctor, only the second wife in this mansion really treats us slaves as human beings."

It's not that low-level slaves are ignored when they are sick, and they are thrown into a mass grave with straw mats when they die.

"Those who speak ill of the Second Wife are all because the Second Wife thinks that the expenses in the mansion are too high, so they promote the practice of not being too wasteful, and reduce all kinds of expenses, but they don't know that they offend those servants who are looking forward to picking up the leaks! "
