Ming Wanjin instinctively bent down and opened his arms to hug his little daughter who was running towards her. The innocent smiling face was in front of her eyes, like a small daisy slowly blooming. When her tender little hands hugged her, Ming Wanjin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Soft, a fatherly smile appeared on his face.
"Daddy, Xi'er misses daddy so much." Ming Xixi leaned her little head on her father's shoulder and spoke in a very affectionate tone.
"Haha..." Ming Wanjin couldn't help but chuckle. Facing his little daughter's angelic smile and soft, sweet childish voice, he couldn't say any accusing words. "Xi'er, are you good in the house?"
Ming Xixi turned her childlike eyes and said softly: "Xi'er is a bit naughty, but Xi'er didn't mean it."
"Oh? What's wrong with Xi'er?" Ming Wanjin was stunned, not expecting his youngest daughter to be so honest. Ming Xixi looked at her father with pure and innocent eyes, "Xi'er didn't listen to Mother Liu."
As for grandma, I got up at dawn to practice calligraphy, and my school girl became popular. But Xi'er is also very good. She only eats three-thirds of the food at each meal, and eats vegetarian dishes instead of meat dishes. But...but Xi'er is always hungry." At the end of the sentence,
In other words, the smile is gone and the little face is unhappy.
Ming Wanjin asked in surprise: "Who told Xi'er to only eat three-thirds full at each meal? Eat vegetarian dishes but not meat dishes?"
"Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu said that if you eat three cents full every meal, you will be able to find a good family when you grow up." Ming Xixi said softly, "Dad, Aunt Zhao taught Xi'er yesterday how to become a lady.
Can Xi'er go and take a look at you?"
"Oh... ok." Ming Wanjin put down his little daughter and was surprised by what he just said. The child is growing up, how could Grandma Liu teach her like this?
Ming Xixi stood still, with her legs together, her chin flat, her hands folded in front of her upper abdomen, and she took small steps in a straight line. She had slender calves and short feet. Ming Wanjin watched her heels and toes bumping against each other, frowning.
She frowned, with a look of confusion on her face, "Xi'er, is this how Aunt Zhao teaches you to walk?"
"Well! Daddy, is Xier going well?" Ming Xixi turned around and came back, holding her father's big hand with her chubby little hand, raising her innocent little face and asking expectantly.
Ming Wanjin didn't answer. He waved the four maids present to come over and asked Hua'er, "Tell me, how does Grandma Liu teach Miss Fifth on weekdays?"
Hua'er looked at the Fifth Miss sympathetically and replied: "Mama Liu is extremely strict with the Fifth Miss. She stipulates that the Fifth Miss must get up at dawn, copy the Heart Sutra, and learn about female beauty. She cannot leave the house without permission, let alone
Walking out of Bixianyuan. Three meals a day, breakfast is a small bowl of white porridge and cold side dishes, lunch and dinner are both a small bowl of rice and two plates of vegetarian dishes, and sometimes a little minced meat is added."
"This is nonsense!" Ming Wanjin was very angry. He raised his voice by two beats and glanced at the other three people with stern eyes. "Tell me the truth, does Grandma Liu really treat Miss Fifth like this?"
Yin'er has always been a rough servant doing chores in the backyard and rarely sees her master. She nodded timidly. Hong'er glanced at Hua'er and said: "Master, this slave has also seen that the fifth lady only eats vegetarian dishes, nothing."
Eat meat and vegetables.”
Lu'er said: "My servant has also seen it. Before the fifth lady had eaten, Grandma Liu ordered the food to be removed and asked the fifth lady to sit in the room all day long and copy the Heart Sutra."
"That's unreasonable! Do you still have a master in your eyes?" Ming Wanjin flicked his sleeves, his face gloomy and his eyes angry, "Whoever comes, call Nanny Liu here immediately."
Hua'er said: "Sir, Grandma Liu's whole body is swollen and painful. I'm afraid she won't be able to walk."
Only then did Ming Wanjin remember what Guan Yi had said before. His anger slowly subsided, and he suddenly felt doubtful: Aunt Liu was bullying Xi'er like this, maybe she did it without telling Yi Er. Thinking of this, he
Then he asked: "Does the second lady know about this?"
Hua'er glanced at the fifth young lady and saw her little finger hanging by her side waving from side to side, saying: "Mama Liu is in charge of Bixianyuan. The second lady is busy with things and may not know about it."
Hong'er also echoed: "Mama Liu told the slaves that the second lady asked her to exercise the power to manage Bixianyuan. Aunt Liu is the correctional nun sent by the second lady, and the slaves dare not verify the truth."
Yin'er and Lu'er spent most of their time in the kitchen courtyard and remained silent. Ming Wanjin sneered and said: "How can a servant woman ride on the master's head? Send someone over and put this priority aside.
Drag me the old lady who shared it."
Outside the gate, Qing'er was walking towards him. Hearing the master's high-pitched voice, he was startled. He quietly stuck his head against the wall and took a look inside. It turned out that it was indeed the master. The young master and several other maids were all present.
Coincidentally, when she thought about the words she just heard, she felt something was wrong, so she turned around and walked back.
Hua'er and Lu'er walked out of the door and were about to find two servants to help. Suddenly they caught a glimpse of the figure hurriedly walking away around the corner. They couldn't help but slow down. That figure looked very much like Qing'er, and that direction was leading to Liv.
At the back door of the courtyard, Lu'er saw her stop and asked curiously: "Sister Hua'er, what's wrong? Let's go quickly, the master is still waiting."
"Oh, okay." Hua'er didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly followed Lu'er's footsteps. He found two servants and went to the small side yard to pull up Nanny Liu from the bed and drag her out from side to side. Nanny Liu's whole body was swollen.
He was deformed, as if he had been injected with water, and the red spots on his face and neck looked like mosquito bites, and his eyes were dull and his steps were vague. The two servants had heard that they might be infected, so they each wore cloth covers to support Liu.
Grandma was half-supported and half-dragged to Bixianyuan.
As soon as she saw Ming Wanjin, Grandma Liu was about to kneel down. The two servants let go of their hands, and Grandma Liu swayed from side to side, barely keeping her upper body still, and said with tears: "Master, please make the decision for me!"
Ming Wanjin was shocked by her situation. He pointed at her and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why is it so weird?"
Ming Xixi approached Ming Wanjin with a look of fear on her face, grabbed his big hand and said, "Dad, Xi'er is afraid."
Ming Wanjin hurriedly picked her up and comforted her: "Don't look at Xi'er." He said to Hua'er, "Take the fifth lady back to the house." Ming Xixi immediately shook her head, put her little hands around his neck, and lay on his shoulder.
: "Xi'er don't go back to the house, Xi'er wants to be with daddy."
"Okay, Xi'er, stay with daddy." Ming Wanjin hugged his little daughter's soft body that smelled of milk, and was reluctant to let go. He said softly, "Xi'er, don't look back."
Looking at Aunt Liu again, her face had turned stern, and she glared angrily: "A person who has climbed onto the master's head still has the guts to ask me to make the decision for you? Tell me! Why did you abuse Miss Fifth? Who lent you the courage of a leopard?"
Grandma Liu was stunned. She had been in the house for so long and had never seen the master get so angry and say such things. She was so frightened that she quickly fell to the ground and said anxiously: "Master, I don't know what the master means by saying this? I have been saying this all my life."
Doing things for the master and his wife loyally will give me leopard courage, and I will not dare to eat it."
