Chapter 154
The light coming in through the window paper is gentle and soft, but the light in the window crack is different, very dazzling.Xu Jiatong got up from the couch in a daze, and called Bi Shui in to change.
"Miss, why don't you sleep a little longer? There are countless servants this night, and they only slept for two hours. If you go on like this, your body will collapse." Bi Shui said worriedly.
Xu Jiatong looked at her and said in a low voice, "Don't say that again, it's you who only slept for two hours, not me."
The game at the palace gate is imminent, Xu Jiatong still needs to practice even if she has superb embroidery skills, but if she practices during the day, Xu Jiaxing will watch her again, so she can only do it later when she is free.
In order not to be noticed, Xu Jiatong deliberately packed up two rooms and set them up as an embroidery workshop, and Bi Shui's residence was behind one of them, and he figured it out.
At night, Xu Jiatong would pretend to sleep first, then exchange with Bishui, and go to the Bishui House to start a fight.She only needs to light the candles in the clear water house, and then bring the things she needs from the embroidery workshop.In the eyes of outsiders, it is only the clear water that lights the lamp and boils the oil, and she, Xu Jiatong, will only sleep peacefully in the main room of the painting garden.
When it was time to rest, Xu Jiatong would just go back by himself.She was wearing Bi Shui's clothes, even if she was seen by others, she would only think that "Bi Shui" was going over to see if she was sleeping peacefully.
"Fourth Miss, Mother Zhen is here." Ah Xiang said at the door.
Coming so quickly, Xu Jiatong frowned slightly: "Please come in politely, and invite Fifth Sister to come here too."
It was Lan Ying who came in first, and she smiled and walked around like a normal person: "Say hello to the fourth girl, it's okay for the madam to send a servant, just pointing to Mother Zhen to take care of the painting garden, let the servant tell One sound, so as not to offend you."
"Mother sent Aunt Zhen to serve me and Fifth Sister?" Xu Jiatong had a "surprised" smile on his face, which was actually expected. "When I was in the ancestral house, Aunt Zhen reminded me a lot, If it weren't for her, the relationship between my third aunt and I wouldn't be so easy. After returning home, I always wanted to thank her, but I couldn't see her, so it was delayed. If she came to the painting garden, I would be one hundred Don't worry, one hundred will."
No matter how good Aunt Zhen is, she is also Lin's eyeliner. Bi Shui was a little unhappy when she heard that at first, neither she nor Ah Xiang had received such a compliment.But thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but want to smile narrowly.
Sure enough, Lan Ying also heard something wrong: "Aunt Zhen is just a rough person, I can't see that she can mention you, girl, and I don't know what she said."
"She was very helpful to me. The first time we met, because the banquet arranged by the third aunt was a bit biased, she immediately stood up to save face for me. At that time, I couldn't talk in the ancestral house. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid In the future, those ladies present will still criticize you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Fifth Younger Sister later." Xu Jiatong laughed.
Lan Ying turned her head slightly and saw Xu Jiaqing coming out of the wing room.Since Xu Jiatong asked her to ask, it was impossible for Xu Jiaqing to deny it.
"Young lady thinks she has to use it. Madam still has something to do, so I will leave first." Lan Ying didn't ask Xu Jiaqing out of self-indulgence, but her expression was already a little off.
Aunt Zhen was still waiting under the steps in the courtyard, but she couldn't hear the people inside talking.Xu Jiaqing saw her when she came out, she had hurt Xu Jiaqing's face last time, Xu Jiaqing looked at her naturally with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
Lan Ying came out from the inside, just in time to see Xu Jiaqing's panic when she looked at Aunt Zhen, and she believed Xu Jiatong's words to a certain extent.
"Miss Lanying, go slowly." Aunt Zhen was as polite as usual.
Lan Ying smiled, and said in a cold tone: "I was afraid that you would not get used to it when you came to the painting garden, but this time it probably won't be necessary, maybe you still climbed a high branch."
Aunt Zhen ignored her and followed Xu Jiaqing in.Xu Jiaqing was directly bypassed by Lan Ying, feeling uncomfortable, but didn't say anything.
"What's the matter with Fourth Sister calling me?" Xu Jiaqing got closer to Xu Jiatong these days, and she wasn't as restrained as before, so she sat down beside her.
"Greetings to Miss Four and Miss Five. I am here to serve the two girls in the painting garden under Madam's order." Aunt Zhen didn't take Xu Jiaqing's disregard to heart. They are powerful servants.
Xu Jiatong smiled: "Mother just sent Aunt Zhen over here to let you see. From now on, if there is anything missing in our painting garden, you can just ask her. Aunt Zhen, you are by Mother's side You have to lose face, and you are often entrusted with important tasks, this thing must not trouble you, right?"
It's not polite at all to ask for something as soon as you come up.
Aunt Zhen was blocked by her until she could only say dryly: "The slaves will do their best to obey the girls' wishes."
"Presumably in a few days, Mother Zhen will bring some helpers to treat my little painting garden like an iron bucket." Xu Jiatong smiled half-heartedly, and his voice suddenly became stern, "Bi Shui , close the door, and let Ah Xiang and Dong Xue guard outside."
Bi Shui immediately went to do it. As soon as the door was closed, the room immediately became dark.Aunt Zhen became nervous, her palms were covered with cold sweat, she didn't expect that Xu Jiatong would dare to take the lead for her when she just came here and her heels were not even on her feet.
"Girl, what is this?" Aunt Zhen smiled and hinted, "But you are not satisfied with Madam's arrangement?"
"Of course I am satisfied with mother's arrangement, but there is another matter that I am very dissatisfied with. It is not with mother, but with you. I told you to report this matter to mother in detail when there was a fire at the inn that day. Ming, I will urge you to find out the matter later. But you only said a few words, and the matter was left alone. Even my father thought that the fire was not big, and Miss Ma and Miss Wang and I were not injured. Do you know that the Ma family and the Wang family are still waiting for an explanation on this matter. If you are so slack and lie to others, aren’t you going to trap me, my father, my mother, and the entire Ding’anhou mansion in an unrighteous place? "Xu Jiatong said imposingly.
Mother Zhen was caught off guard, and quickly argued: "Afterwards, the servants mentioned it to Madam again, but they found no clue about this matter, and they all said it was just an accidental fire. I don't want to cause disputes among several families. You can only let it go. Girl, you are from a great family, you should have heard of such things, and you should also take care of the overall situation."
"Take care of the overall situation? Is this mother's meaning, or your mother Zhen's meaning?" Xu Jiatong asked unceremoniously.
Aunt Zhen calmed down a bit, and said calmly: "Of course it's Madam's intention, although Madam didn't say it clearly..."
"Then confront Madam." Xu Jiatong interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
