Red apricots make spring

Chapter 44
Rourou will feel a little dizzy, just now she was immersed in the grief of Mrs. Liu being arrested and sent to the official, and now she suddenly heard Su's saying that she can redeem herself and go out. The contrast between sadness and joy is so great that she immediately She was stunned in place, and only recovered from her sorrow and joy when she saw Li Shi gave her a hard look and walked away with the two maids close to her.Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I was extremely lucky to be allowed to redeem myself by Mrs. Su. If Mrs. Li hadn't used Xiaohuan's incident to suppress Mrs. Su once, Mrs. Su had used her own attack to kill Mrs. Li. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for her to redeem herself and leave the mansion smoothly.

"Let's go, let's go back." Zhao Yan saw that Su Shi and Li Shi were fighting and walked away. Her father was recuperating again, so she didn't want to disturb her, so she had to walk to her yard, walking towards her. Gentlely said: "Why do you suddenly say you want to redeem yourself? I haven't heard you mention it before."

Rourou raised her eyes slightly, and saw that Yaqin and Shulan were looking at her with unconcealable jealousy, and didn't want to cause trouble at such a critical moment, so she just lowered her head and said softly: "This matter happened to my mother yesterday." My son just mentioned to me that I wanted to return the girl, but I didn’t know how much money I would have to pay to redeem myself. I didn’t tell the girl about the fact that I hadn’t written off my horoscope. I didn’t expect my wife to be gracious today and allow me to redeem myself at the original price. ..."

"It's good to go out, marry someone who is worthy, and live a good life." Zhao Yan said such a sentence suddenly, which made Rourou slightly startled, not knowing how to answer.Seriously, Zhao Yan is only fourteen or fifteen years old at the moment, and seems to be a bit precocious, but living in such a complicated environment in the Zhao Mansion, and seeing the intrigue between his mother and his father's concubine all day long, I'm afraid it's too early. I feel tired.

"It's a pity." Zhao Yan muttered again.

"What's the pity, girl?" Shulan couldn't help interjecting and asked.

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said: "Ruhua's cooking skills are good. After she came here for a few days, I feel that my appetite has improved a lot and my face is full of flesh. Now that she is gone, I have to eat in the big kitchen all day long." It’s a pity to do something.”

Yaqin pursed her lips in disbelief and said, "I've watched her hands for the past few days and learned a little bit. I'll do it for the girl next time."

"You?" Zhao Yan smiled in surprise: "It's a good way for you to pick up a needle and embroider a flower. If you want to talk about cooking, I'm afraid it's not as good as Shulan!" She said regretfully: "Speaking of Liu My sister-in-law's cooking skills are not bad, but I didn't expect her to..."

Hearing Zhao Yan's words about the master's family, the three maids stopped talking, Zhao Yan also felt that her father was too lustful, even a young maid like Xiaohuan was taken by him, it was really unreasonable , but she couldn't say such disrespectful words. She just thought about it in her heart and felt a little unfilial. She serves me."

Ruan didn't expect Zhao Yan to reward her, so she quickly thanked her, but she was a little surprised. She always thought that Zhao Yan didn't like her very much. Treat her meaning.

When Zhao Yan was sent back to the courtyard, Rou Rou took the money Shulan handed her, but when she parted, she had to kowtow to Zhao Yan to show her kindness to master and servant during the past few days.Kowtow may be commonplace for the ancients, but it is very embarrassing for Wenrou. She hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and knelt down, comforting herself in her heart: Do as the Romans do, as the Romans do...

Resigning from Zhao Yan, Rou Rou hurried to the West Corner Gate, Ru Hua's mother had been waiting there for a long time, thinking that something had happened to Ru Hua, she was so anxious that she was restless, seeing her enter the door, she immediately inquired: "But something happened in this mansion. What's the matter? Just now, the housekeepers didn't allow me to enter the mansion..."

The gentle and impatient Xiaohuan, who was in the mood to hear her finish, hurriedly pulled her up and said: "The madam has allowed me to redeem myself at the original price, so follow me to see the madam."

Overheard by Mrs. Cai, she congratulated her repeatedly. She dealt with it gently and patiently for a while, then gave Mrs. Cai another fifty copper coins to drink tea. After saying goodbye to her, she took Ru Hua's mother to see Mrs. Li.On the way, she secretly took six taels of silver from Mrs. Liu and asked Ru Hua's mother to carry it, so that she could redeem her body later.The two hurried to the door of the west room where Li lived, and while waiting for someone to report, she carefully instructed the woman a few words, telling her to answer properly and not to panic.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Li made every effort to make things difficult. He first asked Wen Rou why she wanted to redeem her body, and then asked her why her family suddenly had money to redeem her body. She answered fifty-fifty, and Mrs. Li was waiting to ask more questions, when Jin Yu suddenly walked in from outside the house and said to her in a panic: "Madam, I have searched all over the mansion, but I can't find Xiaohuan."

"Why can't I find it?" Li Shi was surprised: "Perhaps she saw something happened to her mother, and she was afraid, so she hid in some corner. Send more people, and then look for it!"

Jinyu promised to go out, but Wenrou's heart was clear, knowing that Xiaohuan had already escaped from the mansion, even if Li Shi dug three feet, she couldn't find it, so she lowered her head unconsciously, for fear that Li Shi would see it on her face. What a flaw.

Mrs. Li is not in the mood to make things difficult for Wenrou at this moment. Her slender nails are tapping the teacup in her hand, wondering where Xiaohuan will hide. She has to find it before Mrs. Su tells the master about Mrs. Liu Xiaohuan, to force her to confess that she conspired with Mrs. Liu to commit poison, firstly, to oppose the Su family, and secondly, to cut the weeds to get rid of the roots. Mrs. Liu is cruel and merciless, and her daughter must be no better. Sao fox, after all, is a scourge!

Rourou stood underground for a long time, seeing that Li Shi was only thinking in silence, knowing that she must have some bad ideas in her mind, she became more and more anxious to go out of the house to find Xiaohuan, but she couldn't urge Li Shi to regain her senses, so she could only continue patiently Standing down, she finally waited until Li Shi found out that there were still two people in the room, she frowned and said, "What are you still standing here for? Jinxiu, you took them to the accounting room to pay the money, remember to come back quickly, I will return Something calls you."

When Li sees Wen Rou, she thinks of Su Shi. She is in a bad mood, but Su Shi has already promised Wen Wen to redeem her body. It is useless for her to make things difficult for her. Why don't she get out of his eyes quickly and try to be quiet!

Wenrou was eager to make a sound, when she kowtowed to Mrs. Li, she was just worshiping the dead, cursed her in her heart, turned over, took Ruhua's mother to the accountant to pay the money, went through the trivial procedures of redemption, and got it back. After selling the deed, he went to Su's room to thank her, but after a while, he came out and said: "Madam is tired, excuse me, let you have a good life."

One less kowtow, it was too late to be gentle and happy, but she was still grateful to Mrs. Su, she lowered her head and said a few auspicious words outside the door, wishing Mrs. Su good health, and then took Ruhua's mother out of the mansion .

Walking to the side door, Ruhua's mother saw that Wen Rou was about to step out immediately, she held her back and said, "You haven't packed your things yet!"

"Something? What is it?" Rou Rou said with a funny smile: "It's just two pieces of clothes and a bed of bedding. What can I do? I don't want to take any of the things in this house out!" If it wasn't for the clothes on my body that I couldn't take off Well, she doesn't even want to wear this Tsing Yi, which represents her identity as a maid!
