When I returned to Xiangyue's room again, Xiangqiao had also returned.
That reckless little girl looked after the patients in a very normal way. She would greet the sick and ask for help, and she was very diligent in running back and forth.
Seeing this, Ning Yujin couldn't help but joked before entering the door: "Hey, this girl has never served me so diligently."
"That's because Miss, you always pretend to be sick, okay?" Xiangqiao rolled her eyes at Ning Yujin and slowly fed Xiangyue a bowl of sugar water.
"Xiangqiao, why are you talking? How many times have I told you, but why are you still not big or small?" Xiangyue stood up and was about to get angry, but Ning Yujin stepped forward and pushed her back.
"It's not like you don't know this girl is like this, so you don't care what she does at this time."
"Miss, the people in the palace must be very arrogant. She talks so openly and carelessly. I'm afraid she will get into big trouble one day."
Xiangyue looked at Xiangqiao worriedly, and when she saw her puffing out her cheeks and pouting, with a non-committal look on her face, she couldn't help but shake her head and sighed.
"Let's just get into trouble. What kind of big trouble can she get into? This is Prince Ding's Mansion, not the Uncle's Mansion. Even if your young lady hasn't married yet, she is still half the mistress of Prince Ding's Mansion. Is it possible that she still can't be saved?"
Ning Yujin curled her lips indifferently, took Xiangyue's hand and said, "You just think too much."
"That's right." Xiangqiao hid behind her and made a face.
Xiangyue looked at the rare united front between the two of them, and couldn't help laughing: "It seemed like you two were making trouble at first, but how come they turned against me in unison?"
"Who told you to always have random thoughts all day long?" Ning Yujin rolled her eyes and lay down on the chair next to her carelessly, "I brought you here to enjoy your happiness, not to gain popularity."
"That's it," Xiangqiao's small mouth was raised high, obviously she had been holding in her anger for a long time, "that is, Sister Xiangyue, you are so merciful, but when I have this temper, I don't know how many times I have fought with people.
"
"What's going on?" Ning Yujin turned to look at Xiangqiao, her eyebrows narrowed and her starry eyes narrowed.
"Xiangqiao, I haven't boiled my medicine yet. Go ahead and boil it for me." Xiangyue obviously didn't want Xiangqiao to open her mouth. Her eyes fell on the medicine bag that Ning Yujin had just brought in, and she said immediately.
Xiangqiao waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "I asked Zisu to fry it. She is good at decoction."
"Zisu?" The thinnest little girl appeared in Ning Yujin's head, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
To be honest, the few little girls she chose were quite obedient, but because they were so obedient, they had no sense of presence on weekdays, and the impression they left on her was not very deep.
Speaking carefully, she really didn't understand them seriously.
But it was obvious that with how well Xiangqiao interacted with them on weekdays, he probably even knew the names of their eight generations of ancestors.
"Miss, you don't know, Zi Su is very powerful. She has read many books and knows many medicines. She took care of Aunt Wang's hand in the kitchen when she was cut."
"oh?"
Or a doctor?
Ning Yujin couldn't help but become a little interested.
"Zisu's father used to be an old doctor in their village. Unfortunately, he got a disease that he couldn't cure. He even bankrupted his family and failed to cure it. In the end, she had no choice but to sell herself to bury her father."
Xiangqiao couldn't help but sigh as she spoke, holding her cheeks with both hands, and said in a long tone: "It's not easy for them to think about it. Pinellia and Forsythia are in floods in their hometown. There are many brothers and sisters in the family, so they can't afford to eat."
He was first sold to human traffickers. Peilan was sold by his father, who was a compulsive gambler, to pay off his gambling debts. Fortunately, they met the young lady, otherwise they would have been sent to a prison by now."
"They are all poor children." Ning Yujin also sighed, and then handed the medicine bag to Xiangqiao, "You can take it and let the perilla cook the medicine."
It just so happened that she was sometimes too busy alone in Lizhangtang. Since Zisu knew medical skills, it would be better to have someone to help her.
As for the other few, she was not someone who treated her servants harshly. When they got older, it would be better to find a decent family for them, add some dowry, and carry them out in a formal manner, rather than being a slave and a maid all their life.
Xiangqiao came back in almost the blink of an eye, so fast that Ning Yujin was a little stunned: "Have you recently learned Qinggong from Xiaoba?"
Xiangyue sighed helplessly: "I think she has been holding back a lot of words and can't wait to tell you, Miss."
"Oh, yes," Ning Yujin nodded and asked seriously, "Who messed with our little Xiangqiao? Tell me, Miss, and I will take care of them for you!"
"There are so many people who are messing with me!" Xiangqiao took a sip of water first, then took a deep breath. After being fully prepared, she spoke out one by one.
"First of all, there are those women in charge. Their mouths are as sharp as knives. Fortunately, Sister Xiangyue and I told Zisu to go to the kitchen to get something and forgot to report it. She was almost tortured and lynched! Those women
He wants benefits overtly and covertly, but if Sister Xiangyue hadn't rushed over, I'm afraid Zisu still doesn't know what would have happened."
"Is there such a thing? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ning Yujin thought it was just a small problem like Dongmei's evil thoughts, but she didn't expect that the problem was quite serious.
Xiangqiao's lips raised higher and higher, and she pouted and whispered: "You stayed in the front yard all day, and Xiaoba was poisoned again. Sister Xiangyue said that you were so busy that you didn't even have time to come back for dinner. Don't do these things.
I’ll use it to annoy you.”
This fragrant moon...
Afraid of annoying her, I bear these grievances by myself. Why is this girl so stupid?
"Is there anything else?" It's best to tell them all so that she can solve them all together. They should correct the atmosphere in the palace to avoid making trouble all the time.
"There are also those maids who are always lazy all day long. Whenever I mention them, they roll their eyes and respond but don't do anything. It makes me so angry!"
"How could such a thing happen?" Ning Yujin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Those maids and women used to serve wealthy families, so why don’t they understand any rules?
"In the final analysis, it's your problem, Miss." Xiangyue pushed herself up and sat up slowly, speaking earnestly, "You almost don't care about anything after you come to the house. Sometimes you stay in the pharmacy for a whole day and don't come out. Those maids
My mother-in-law made a rumor one day and said that you are a concubine in the family, you have never learned to take care of the household and accounts, and you are not strong-tempered. As time goes by, they will naturally not be afraid of you, let alone the maids around you."
Looking up and seeing that Ning Yujin didn't speak, Xiangyue continued: "I won't care about the affairs of the back house. If you don't take care of these things, miss, I'm afraid those women and maids will become more and more bold and eventually cause trouble.
The slave bullied the master. You know, this is not uncommon in Shengjing..."
"You know, your young lady is not someone who lets others bully her without saying a word." Ning Yujin interrupted Xiangyue, smiled at her, and said, "Relax, my new official has three things to do when he takes office.
I will also make three fires to burn up the spirit of everyone in this house."
"That's how it should be." Xiangqiao clenched her hands into fists, her eyes glowing red, "It's best to deal with Dongmei too! She has been very close to several housekeepers in the house recently, and she keeps getting angry.
If you don't do anything and just run to the front yard when you get the chance, you definitely don't have any good intentions!"
Ning Yujin calmly picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Don't be in a hurry, come one by one."
