Chapter 138

Yupan "hehe" stood aside, flatteringly said: "Although Yupan is a servant girl, her life is good. If she can follow a master like Miss, if she meets Mama Yang, don't be so full now." It's time to eat and warm clothes, and I'm afraid that one month's salary is not enough to be deducted by Yang's mother."

Rong Lanxue scolded, "Speak up!"

Zong Ruchun asked in surprise: "What? Is Mama Yang still harshly withholding the servant's salary?"

Yupan purposely pretended not to see Rong Lanxue's wink, but just as she was about to speak, Rong Lanxue shouted angrily, "Yupan, don't talk too much!"

"Xue'er, don't interrupt her, you don't want the jade plate, tell me, I'll make the decision for you!" Zong Ruchun comforted her.

Yupan immediately said: "Qing'er in the conference hall, Missy knows, she is also Mama Yang's niece. Her mother and son have given gifts for several years, and she finally entered our mansion. It only takes one or two months a month." Half of the money was deducted by Yang's mother, and she still said it was a favor fee."

"There is such a thing. I saw that Qing'er, she is also a good child, and she is silent. I didn't expect to be bullied by Yang's mother like this." Zong Ruchun murmured.

"Houyuanzi, does Missy know why Uncle Zhao left?" Yupan asked intentionally.

"Why?"

"When a tree dies, it's worth one tael of silver. When a flower dies, it's worth fifty copper coins. When a carp in the lake dies, it's worth two taels of silver. Missy, do the math, and Uncle Zhao only pays for it in a month." How much salary, is it enough to deduct?" Yupan said with a high air, "Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and the trees are withered in autumn, so Aunt Li..."

Rong Lanxue shouted angrily: "Enough, Yupan, where did you come up with such gossip? I see that you haven't learned anything in these years, but you have learned to chew your wife's tongue. Step aside!"

Yupan stuck out his tongue, and hurried to the side, but Zong Ruchun couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said: "In this way, Aunt Li has several hundred taels of silver a month, which is not enough to deduct Ah? No, I have to go and see."

"Sister, Yupan also heard what the servants in the mansion said behind their backs. Maybe it's not the truth. My sister just had dinner, so let's rest for a while." Rong Lanxue persuaded.

"No, Peach Blossom, Plum Blossom, follow me to the back garden." Zong Ruchun said, and opened the door by himself.

Rong Lanxue couldn't sit there, so she had to stand up and follow behind, Lianxiang ran to the inner room, took two cloaks and chased them out, put them on the two ladies, and then walked towards the back garden.

Aunt Li is sitting on the stone bench in the small compound courtyard in the back garden at this time, looking at the fallen leaves that are slowly falling, and sighing slightly, it is late autumn, and the flowers and plants in the garden are gradually losing their brilliance , I'm afraid it will turn into dead wood in just a few days, just now Mother Yang has sent someone to count, not only will all the salary for this month be withheld, but she will also have to pay another 50 taels of silver.

Aunt Li sat for a while, and just stood up, only to feel cold and numb from the waist down, she shook her head, "I'm really old, I can't stand up after sitting for a while, it's really useless."

She sat down again and rubbed her numb knees. She got up slowly after she felt a little warm. She was thinking about how to walk back when she felt a pair of soft arms holding hers. She said softly: "Li Auntie, let me help you."

Aunt Li looked back and was about to salute in a hurry, but her legs and feet were inconvenient, so she staggered and almost fell to the ground.Taohuameihua hurriedly stepped forward to help her, thinking that she was still young when she came to the mansion, and Aunt Li took care of them in every possible way, but now she is leaving with the young lady, but Aunt Li is in such a bleak scene, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and said sadly: "Aunt Li ..." Zong Ruchun's eyes were also slightly red, and he took Aunt Li's arm and said, "It was my negligence that made you suffer."

Aunt Li chuckled, "Miss, what you say is disrespecting the servant girl. With your words, the servant girl can survive no matter how much hardship she suffers." The old man in the harsh mansion, if I hadn't returned to the mansion today and heard the girls mention it, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark."

Aunt Li shook her head, "I'm old, why bother? It's like this when I was young, but I still can't see it when I'm old." Rong Lanxue gently stepped forward to support Aunt Li's other arm and smiled: "Aunt Li , you just have to enjoy your old age and don't take these things to heart."

"Young mistress, this servant understands it very well. I have also seen it through these days. I just don't know when that dead girl will understand."

"Dead girl?" Zong Ruchun and Rong Lanxue were stunned for a moment, looked at the maids around them, and asked in surprise, "Did you offend Aunt Li?" Those maids immediately shook their heads as if they were stunned Drums are average.Seeing their confused expressions, Aunt Li couldn't help but chuckled and pointed in the direction of Tongrenyuan.

Zong Ruchun and Lan Xue just woke up, thinking of Mama Yang being so old-fashioned, and being called a dead girl by Aunt Li, she couldn't help but feel very funny, so she covered her mouth and laughed.Aunt Li also laughed a few times with them, before she said quietly: "When we entered the mansion together, we were as youthful and lively as you. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed."

Zong Ruchun nodded with a smile, "I remember that Aunt Li loved blue clothes at that time. I asked you old man, you said it was clean, and it is still the same now."

While talking, a few people walked to the room where Aunt Li is currently living. Although it was cold outside, the sun was shining on them, Zong Ruchun and Rong Lanxue were both wearing cloaks, so they didn't feel cold. Once they entered Aunt Li's room, Zong Ruchun couldn't help shivering.

Rong Lanxue hurriedly ordered, "Lianxiang, go to my place quickly and bring a heater from our room. Aunt Li, this is your fault. Because I have to take care of the young master, I didn't come to ask about the affairs of the mansion. You Why didn't you tell me? If you get sick like this, you don't want to say that you are afraid of trouble, but you have to say that I am young and ignorant, and I am harsh on the elderly."

Aunt Li panicked and chatted about making amends.With tears in his eyes, Zong Ruchun immediately directed Taohua, who picked up Aunt Li's bedding and immediately returned to the Ziwei courtyard.Aunt Li hurriedly stopped her and said: "Miss, there is absolutely no way to do it. It's nothing if I go back to the Ziwei Courtyard. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the young mistress. In our house, the eldest mistress doesn't understand, even if the young mistress has the heart, it's hard for her." .”

Zong Ruchun stayed in the mansion all day, listening and watching, he always complained to Yang's mother, saying that Rong Lanxue was embarrassed.At this time, she completely believed that all this was not fabricated by Rong Lanxue out of thin air, intending to drive out the old servant, but that it was Mama Yang's evil servant bullying the master and wantonly oppressing her colleagues.

Rong Lanxue didn't speak, but took the stove that Lianxiang handed over, turned on the fire, and put it down next to Aunt Li.

Mama Yang sat in the room by herself and didn't go out all day. At noon, Mrs. Liu specially came over to deliver the meal in person. Seeing Mama Yang frowning, she comforted her: "Mama Yang, the eldest lady has a soft temper, and she is a married girl. It's not good to ask about the affairs of our mansion again, just to reprimand you, you also go in one ear and out the other, don't always take it to heart, when she leaves at night, this mansion will still be your world. "

Mother Yang nodded, and said worriedly: "That's what I said, I'm afraid something will happen again. How annoying is Young Mistress looking at me now."

Chef Liu persuaded again: "Young mistress is in good health and full of energy. Our young master is good-looking and handsome. It is even more difficult not to be promiscuous. Young mistress is fine, so naturally something will happen. Just a few days ago, the young master had an accident, and the young mistress Where is the leisure to come to your mother Yang?"

Mother Yang's eyes lit up, and she asked hesitantly, "You mean to find flowers and plants, or?"

Chef Liu said in a low voice: "Master Yu and Mistress Yu are just newlyweds. Even if there are flowers and plants, there is no one who is more handsome than Mistress. Why not make a fuss from this spirit."

"It's not good." Yang's mother immediately shook her head and said, "Young master is in good health, there can be no more accidents, otherwise who will we rely on in the future?"

"It's not the young master, it's the young mistress." Cook Liu had a vicious expression on her face.

"What if something goes wrong?" Mother Yang said worriedly.

"Master, Mama Qin cooks all the meals young mistress eats. Mama Yang, what are you worried about?" A cold smile appeared on Liu's sharp face.

The Ziwei Courtyard has already been tidied up, and the room is warm and harmonious.Zong Ruchun took Rong Lanxue's hand, and said with a smile: "Today, I was thinking of talking with you all night, but I just thought of you as a newlywed, and I couldn't bear to separate you young couple. It's getting late, you Hurry up and go back, you have been tired all day, rest early, the future will be long."

When Rong Lanxue heard the last meaningful sentence, her pink face turned red. She wanted to say something, but for no reason, she called out coquettishly, "Sister." She lowered her head and hurried out.

Zong Yunlong lay on the bed early, saw Rong Lanxue coming, grabbed her and dragged her into his arms, kissed her lightly, and asked, "Sister, what did you say when you came today?"

"I didn't say anything, I just asked Mama Yang something." Rong Lanxue nestled comfortably in Zong Yunlong's arms, told Zong Yunlong what happened today, and then asked, "Sister, if you don't leave today, you will meet tomorrow." How to deal with Mama Yang?"

Zong Yunlong suddenly smiled, "That's my sister's business, let's continue with our human creation plan today." Rong Lanxue was stunned for a moment, Zong Yunlong had already pulled the quilt to cover the two of them together.

Breakfast is served in the elegant pavilion.Zong Ruchun didn't come early.Looking at Zong Yunlong's and Rong Lanxue's flushed faces, he couldn't help laughing a few times.Zong Ruchun not only followed behind Peach Blossom and Plum Blossom, but Aunt Li also followed behind with a smile.

"Sister, are you resting well?" Rong Lanxue hurried up to greet her, giving her a blessing.Zong Yunlong sat at the table, saw Zong Ruchun coming in, and got up quickly.

Zong Ruchun smiled slightly, "The room is not occupied for a long time, and it always looks a little damp. I thought, Aunt Li is getting old, so I should go back to Ziwei Courtyard."

Rong Lanxue hurriedly said: "I thought so too. Aunt Li was always afraid of embarrassing me. Today, my sister brought it up. Aunt Li, if you have nothing to say, just push it away."

Aunt Li stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "The servant is still afraid of making things difficult for the young mistress."

"Hehe, now that you don't live in Ziwei Courtyard, it's really embarrassing for me. I'm afraid that every time my sister comes back, I can only hide in the room and have no face to see my sister." Rong Lanxue held Zong Ruchun's arm She said with a smile on her arm, and at the same time gave up Zong Ruchun to the superior position, brought a bowl of white rice porridge with her own hands, and placed it in front of her.

Zong Ruchun greeted: "All the maids are here, which one wants you to serve? You sit down quickly and eat quickly. After eating, we still have a lot of things to discuss. Brother, what are you going to do today? Did you see the Grand Master and those clan elders yesterday?"

Zong Yunlong quickly swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sister, if you don't mention it, I have forgotten how embarrassed they are."

Zong Ruchun said angrily: "What? Did you come up with any idea to tease these elders? You really are too naughty."

Zong Yunlong laughed, pointed at Ji Qing and said: "I won't talk about it, I'll eat first, Ji Qing, you should tell the eldest lady and young mistress about what happened yesterday, so that they can also relieve their anger."
