Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 202 The Trouble Comes

Gu Qinglian was favored again, and Liu Xu's happy days disappeared without a trace because of Shen Congjia's nightly stay at the Begonia Courtyard.

Not to mention the feeling of being alone in an empty room, in this back house, if the master is not favored, it will also affect everyone in her room.Although Liu Xu is loved by Mrs. Shen, but she loses Shen Congjia's favor, and it is inevitable that she will be ridiculed by some servants who worship her.The disparity in treatment made her depressed heart become angry.Looking at Gu Qinglian whose face is glowing red every day, jealousy and hatred welled up in Liu Xu's heart.

She has no way to deal with Gu Qinglian now, but it doesn't mean she can't deal with the powerful maid beside her.Liu Xu's mind began to plan another round of oppressing the people around Gu Qinglian.She knew that Mother Liu had a deep resentment towards Gu Qinglian, and she wanted to take advantage of this, and with the help of Auntie Ding, she would not worry about major problems.

Together with Aunt Ding, she came to Mrs. Shen with two carefully selected maids.They fired from left to right, and naturally Aunt Ding still focused on firepower. She would talk about how Gu Qinglian dominated Shen Congjia, and then she said that Gu Qinglian had too few maids, and she might not be able to serve Shen Congjia well. In short, the central idea was that they chose two quick maids. I want to use Mrs. Shen's mouth to call Gu Qinglian.

Mrs. Shen has been the Queen's house for decades, how can they not guess this little trick of theirs, and they didn't expose it on the spot, but nodded in agreement.Immediately, he led Mother Liu and a second-class maid in the room to the Haitang Courtyard with Liu Xu and the others.

Mrs. Shen came in and sat down in the main hall. The two aunts who followed her stood respectfully aside. Gu Qinglian also stood up and bowed her head in salute. Mrs. Shen raised her eyes to look at the crowd, waved her hand and said, "Sit down."

Gu Qinglian sat down, carefully looked at Mrs. Shen, the two aunts, and the accompanying maids, thinking about what kind of battle this dry person is waiting for today's big battle!
She was hesitating in her heart, Mrs. Shen took a sip of tea, and asked Gu Qinglian a few things about Shen Congjia. It was just about his health, how he was eating, etc. Gu Qinglian was very polite and respectful. Answer, Mrs. Shen thought that she was very rebellious before, and she was favored by Shen Congjia recently, so she would be somewhat arrogant and unruly, and was planning to put on airs to restrain her, but she didn't expect her to be so respectful and polite. That's right, he behaved obediently, and couldn't find any faults.

Gu Qinglian kept smiling, and Mrs. Shen chatted with her while smiling, then she turned her eyes, suddenly lowered her face, and said solemnly: "Fangyan in your room has been assigned for misbehavior, now I see that there are very few maids in your place, how can they serve the young master well?"

Gu Qinglian's heart skipped a beat, it turns out that you all came prepared!Only then did she guess the real purpose of their visit today.Mrs. Shen directly said the word 'less', it seemed that she was going to fill her room with people. She looked down at the two aunts, and the corners of their mouths showed a sneer of disdain.Gu Qinglian knew that she couldn't refuse, so she whispered: "Although there are few maids, they are all loyal and hardworking."

Mrs. Shen waved her hand impatiently and interrupted Gu Qinglian, "That won't work, you don't love Jiaer, how can a mother watch him suffer with you."

What!Old lady, you are not too sure.Wouldn't it be a bit of an exaggeration to say that if there are fewer maids, it will be suffering.

Gu Qinglian almost spit out a sip of tea, she was completely convinced by the old woman's skillful words.

Seeing Mrs. Shen's majestic voice, although Gu Qinglian was a little upset, she still looked as usual. She stood up and said repeatedly. Mrs. Shen felt great, and waved her hand. Grass pleated skirts, one with emerald green long skirt, the other with goose yellow long skirt, they bowed their heads respectfully and walked up to Gu Qinglian to salute her, Madam Shen nodded slightly, then turned to Gu Qinglian: "Beside you Although those girls are good, but some of them are a bit younger after all, and Jiaer often stays with you, how can they serve you. I will send Osmanthus and Xinger, who are older and more stable, to your room. You order."

Gu Qinglian snorted inwardly, and as she expected, she was like a bright mirror in her heart, but she couldn't show it, pretending to be stunned, and hypocritically said: "Mother gave me the capable people around me, and you have no one to order How can I do it?"

Mrs. Shen smiled and waved her hands, and said to Gu Qinglian in an unexpectedly soft voice: "Mother is old, Xi Qingjing doesn't need so many people to wait on her, but Jia'er, you must not let him be wronged, just make up for her." It's not enough for a mother to have these three."

Mrs. Shen's rare gentleness made Gu Qinglian's goose bumps all over the ground, and she trembled secretly, old man, you should treat me as usual.I really can't stand you being so kind and gentle to me!

Aunt Liu who was sitting on the side also smiled and said: "Yes, sister, mother is so considerate of you, why are you hesitating. If it were me, I would be grateful and thank you!"

Gu Qinglian didn't try to evade, and said obediently: "In that case, I thank mother."

Mrs. Shen looked at her with a smile, took a sip of tea and continued: "My mother, the little maids in your room are too young. Today, I will send Madam Liu to help them train for a few days. Let them get started with the internal and external work as soon as possible. Forget about worrying about your mother, you can be at ease."

Mama Liu?Gu Qinglian glanced at her who was standing beside Mrs. Shen, and saw that she had a smug face, and a sternness flashed in her eyes, she is here to seek revenge!

Gu Qinglian yelled in her heart that it was not good, but Mrs. Shen was firm in her words and would not allow her to refuse, so she had a faint smile on her face, and responded bravely: "The people around my mother are naturally good, and it is too late for me to respect my daughter-in-law. How can I not worry about it?" Woolen cloth."

After talking for a while, Mrs. Shen led the crowd away. Aunt Liu was in a particularly happy mood today, and walked past Gu Qinglian arrogantly. Aunt Ding followed them out without saying a word. People sent to the gate.

Gu Qinglian sighed, these girls were not assigned to her, they were obviously time bombs thrown at her, maybe her courtyard would explode at any time.This morning, she spent so much time discussing with Mrs. Shen and the others, and now she really doesn't have the energy to deal with these newcomers, but after thinking about it, she thought it would be better to explain to them earlier, so as to avoid continuous disputes in the future, so she stopped step, turned to Cui Er who was next to her and told: "Go and call Mama Liu and the three new maids."

Tweety went away in response, and then Gu Qinglian turned her face to look straight at Fangxin, Fangxin was startled, she was also a person with a heart like Crystal, immediately understood what Gu Qinglian meant, and helped her to sit upright.

After a while, Cui'er led Mother Liu and the others to the main hall, and they saluted Gu Qinglian respectfully.

Gu Qinglian took a sip of tea, and preemptively said to Mama Liu: "Mama Liu has always been in poor health. I am also grateful for my mother's intention to call you to me."

It was the first time for Mama Liu to hear Gu Qinglian being so quick and clear to the point. She raised her eyebrows and saw her sitting in a dignified manner: "However, my mother is getting old. Although my mother expressly told me to let me do things with ease, I still can't do it." I don't care about your body. How about this, Mother Liu doesn't have to worry about all the trivial matters in the yard, she can help me teach those young maids some etiquette and rules on weekdays. Mom thinks it okay?"

The meaning of Gu Qinglian's words is very clear, that is, to hang Mama Liu up, Mama Liu's eyes were extremely unwilling, and she snorted softly in her nose. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to promote the glory of the old mother. It's good for the maids to erect their prestige, but Gu Qinglian shunned her to one side.

She saw that although Gu Qinglian had a smile on her face, her tone was considered kind, and her pair of lacquer-like eyes were as calm as a deep lake, but there was a firm gaze in her eyes that could not be doubted by her.Mother Liu held back the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said helplessly: "Since the young mistress is so considerate of the old slave, how can the old slave refuse to do so." She was still a little bit unwilling to let her relax.

After dismissing Mama Liu, Gu Qinglian then looked up and down the three servant girls.

Osmanthus with a fair oval face looks very stable and kind, Xing'er has a beautiful oval face with lively black eyes, and a younger girl named Qing'er is standing in the hall.

Gu Qinglian smiled and said: "I don't know how to discipline people, and the maids around me are not very polite. You are all people who have been trained by your wife. You must be capable people. Although Haitang Courtyard is small, it is important. You can't lose your sense of proportion and break the rules. From now on, I will rely on you all." She paused for a while, then shifted her gaze to Osmanthus fragrans, and said with a smile: "I heard that Osmanthus fragrans was trained by Yao's mother. I will trouble you."

Osmanthus fragrans saw Gu Qinglian's arrogant attitude and spoke very politely, so she replied with a smile: "Look at what the young lady said, since she is already a member of Haitang courtyard, the servant must serve her with all her heart. The servant originally belonged to the wife's house, She is also older than all the sisters, if there is something, I hope the sisters don't dislike it." Although she spoke modestly and beautifully, her eyes were full of pride and a trace of deterrence.

Gu Qinglian raised her eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and she saw the sweet-scented osmanthus in her eyes.She glanced at Xing'er, her complexion was crystal clear, her skin was as smooth as snow, and there was a small dimple on her oval cheek, showing a slight shyness.But seeing that she is delicate and exquisite, with a radiant complexion, she is really a beauty.

I thought to myself, these two are not fuel-efficient people!

Sure enough, although Osmanthus has a kind temper, she always puts on the airs of a big sister when she does things. Although she loves to talk and laugh, she also loves to inquire.His mouth is even more dexterous, and he speaks a lot of flattery like a car wheel. At one time, he said that Fangxin is a loyal person, and at another time, he praised Cui'er for being smart and well-behaved, and was willing to help with the work. up.

Xing'er has a bit of a spoiled temper. Apart from grooming herself every day, she just takes care of her own busy work and rarely hangs around with others.Qing'er is even more of a little maid, she can't afford anything even if she hangs out with other little maids all day long.

"Tui'er, what do you think of Osmanthus fragrans?" Gu Qinglian asked as she lay on the imperial concubine's bed and flipped through a book.

Tweety was tidying up the bookshelves, and upon hearing that, she raised her head and said, "She's quite kind and easy to get along with." It seems that sugar-coated bullets are quite effective, and a few compliments won Tweety's favor for her.

"What a silly girl, she bought you with a few nice words! Who knows if she has a plan to get close to you." Fang Xin turned her head and said.

"No way. What can she think of me, she has inquired about the young mistress and the young master, but I didn't say a word." Tweety immediately said seriously.

"Then, what about Xing'er?" Gu Qinglian continued to ask.

"Eldest young mistress, according to this servant girl, this Xing'er has a high spirit and is extremely beautiful, I'm afraid we have to be careful." Fang Xin brought a plate of fruit and put it on the side of the couch, with a sincere expression on her face. Consolation said.

After all, Tweety is young, and she is still worrying about what happened just now. Hearing that Fangxin said to guard against Xing'er, she asked in a daze, "What are you guarding against her?"

Fangxin thought of something, blushed slightly and immediately said: "If she came to our courtyard because she wanted to climb high branches, we don't have to worry about my wife's face, just find a good family for her outside the mansion, and marry her." Well, it doesn't count as disappointing her appearance."

Looking at Cui'er's thoughtful face, and then at the sister-like Fangxin, Gu Qinglian suddenly understood the intrigue and difficulty of the maids, and said with a sense of loss: "It's not easy for women to live in this world, and everyone gets along together. In the future, I will try my best to find a good place for you, and marry you off in a good manner."

Fangxin blushed immediately, but Cui'er looked at Gu Qinglian with a little embarrassment: "You are still the master, you make fun of your girl like this, sister Fangxin has served you for the longest time, and the young mistress will give you more rewards." The dowry is the real thing, and it’s not in vain that Sister Fangxin endured all the hardships with the eldest and young mistress!" Then she squinted at Fangxin, which meant teasing.

Fangxin listened to the first half of the sentence, she nodded again and again, thinking that Cui'er can be taught, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she was also here to tease herself, so she said angrily: "Eldest young mistress, I don't want any other dowry, so I don't want any other dowry. Give this little hoof to my younger brother to be his daughter-in-law!"

Cui'er was furious, and rushed forward to scratch her, Fangxin hid behind Gu Qinglian, Gu Qinglian was immediately caught in a catastrophe, everyone rubbed each other and laughed together.
