Chapter two hundred and fifteen, the most suitable helper
"I've seen two girls." The old woman came in with a smile, followed by two maids holding trays.
Yu Xijiao smiled and said nothing.
"Mommy, you're too polite, no need to be polite." Yu Zhuqing said softly, raising her hand.
Gradually, Yu Zhuqing no longer felt so unsure about things and became much more familiar with the situation.
"Two girls, the old slave's surname is Yu. They are people close to our old lady. This time they came to the Xuanpinghou Mansion to take care of Madam Xuanpinghou. By the way, Madam Hou can write well and practice her mind. We old lady
People will check the words written by Mrs. Hou." Aunt Yu said with a smile.
Then she took a step back and motioned for the two maids to come forward: "Today is the first day of the old slave's stay in the house. Our old lady specially sent the old slave to bring gifts to several girls."
"It turns out it's Aunt Yu. How dare you let...the elder spend money?" Yu Zhuqing said.
"It's not a precious thing, it's just a few special snacks in our house. The recipe was originally brought from the palace. The old lady specially asked the kitchen to make it, and asked the old slave to bring it over for a few girls to taste.
It’s fresh, I hope the two girls don’t dislike it.”
Aunt Yu smiled and instructed the maid to take out the pastries from the two trays and place them on the table.
There are two identical portions, the flowers look delicate and cute, and they are tempting even before you eat them.
"Thank you, Aunt Yu." Yu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and thanked her. In the past, she had never had a share in such things. In the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, she had always been excluded.
When she was young, she was not sensible. When she saw people coming to the Qian Mansion, her second sister and her cousins were having fun, she wanted to go there, but before she could get there, someone would drive her away and tell her not to disturb her.
The noble man even had his mother-in-law dragging her away and throwing her into his yard, saying that she was too naughty and that she should be quiet and quiet.
Yu Zhuqing had only seen the old lady of the Qian Mansion from a distance, and had never been taken there to recognize her relatives. If it was really said, Yu Zhuqing should actually call the old lady Qian her grandmother, but since she was a child, the Qian family has not
I was formally introduced to her and met her by chance on the road to the garden.
She was also pulled aside, and then watched helplessly as the kind old lady took her second sister away without even giving her a glance.
It's as if she is just an ordinary maid.
As she grew older, Yu Zhuqing also knew that the people in the Qian Mansion didn't like her very much. If someone from the Qian Mansion came to her, she would never go out to find trouble in her own yard.
After so many years, this has almost become Yu Zhuqing's rule. Unexpectedly, one day, someone from the Qian Mansion will come and break this "rule".
Looking at the two identical cakes, Yu Zhuqing understood that all this was because of the return of the third sister.
What Qian Mansion cares about is never him, but his third sister.
He raised his eyes to look at Yu Xijiao, and saw her calmly winking at him playfully. Her heart gradually warmed up, and her expression slowly calmed down, no longer panicking. Now she also has a younger sister, and she can no longer
Just like before, I would always step back from anything. My sister is still young.
"How could you dislike it? Such good pastries are so delicious to look at." Yu Zhuqing said softly.
"It's fine if you two girls like it. I'll go and serve Madam Hou first. Grandma Xi is unfaithful and has caused so many things. Now Madam Hou doesn't even have anyone useful around her. The old lady has to send this old slave.
, During this time, I will live in the Hou Mansion for a while, and I hope that the two girls will show their respect."
Aunt Yu is a good talker. When Yu Zhuqing says something, she can answer a few sentences, and every sentence feels appropriate. Yu Xijiao can almost see the figure of Mrs. Qian in her body.
Be gentle and considerate, be kind to others!
"You should tell Aunt Zhou about this," Yu Zhuqing said.
"Old slave knows that I have already reported to Aunt Zhou before. Aunt Zhou asked me to serve Madam Hou well. I hope Madam Hou will get better soon. Aunt Zhou is not in good health and she has no choice but to hold on.
"Aunt Yu said, she took more care into consideration when she said this, even Aunt Zhou was careful.
"Thank you, Aunt Jade."
"You're welcome, Miss. I have to go to serve Madam Hou, so I'll take my leave first." Aunt Yu bowed respectfully again. As the stewardess around Old Madam Qian, her behavior is very popular with people.
Yu Zhuqing nodded and watched Mrs. Yu retreat, thoughtfully.
Yu Xijiao picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it: "Sister, this pastry is good, the taste is very clear, and there is also the smell of lotus in it."
Seeing her eating it so hastily, Yu Zhuqing was startled and hurriedly took the pastry from her hand: "Third sister, don't eat it yet."
"It'll be fine. It was sent here with such a big fanfare. If anything happens to the two of us, grandma will never let them go." Yu Xijiao took another piece nonchalantly and took a bite.
"You!" Yu Zhuqing put down the pastry in her hand helplessly, picked up a bite to taste, and then put it down, "Third sister, Mrs. Qian sent this Aunt Jade to take care of my wife, and also asked her to copy and meditate? Mr. Qian
Do you mean people will still check it?”
Combined with what Aunt Yu just said, this should be the meaning.
"Yes, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian are indeed different." Yu Xijiao looked at Yu Zhuqing with admiration and said, "Sister, don't go anywhere for the next few days. I'll check the account book first, and I'll talk to you when I have some clues.
explain."
"Be careful." Yu Zhuqing pressed Yu Xijiao's hand and said eagerly, "If we can't find it... forget it, don't cause trouble."
"Don't worry, big sister, I won't cause trouble. It's never me who causes trouble!" Yu Xijiao looked at Yu Zhuqing calmly, and then the corners of her lips slightly raised.
Qian and Ning were more entangled than they thought.
Although Grandma Xi is dead, she still has a nephew who she only looks for when she has something to do and doesn’t contact her when nothing happens. If Grandma Xi wants to do things, she needs someone, and this nephew meets all the conditions...
Xi San is a coachman, and he has a small carriage at home. His aunt will take care of his business from time to time. The aunt gives him much more than ordinary people, and Xi San is also happy to help his aunt.
The aunt is the personal mother-in-law of Mrs. Xuanpinghou, which is enough to make Xi San stand out among other coachmen.
That night, according to the instructions of the maid sent by the Xuanping Hou Mansion, he parked at the back door of the Hou Mansion early, and then got in the car and lay down in the car to rest. Many times when his aunt asked him to go to the back door,
They all wait for now, and my aunt will not come out until late in the evening.
His aunt hasn't been looking for him much recently. Xi San even came here secretly to look for Aunt Xi. Aunt Xi impatiently asked him to go back and wait, saying she would come find him soon.
I don’t know what’s going on recently, and there’s no news?
It was getting dark, and suddenly there was a soft sound from the back door. Xi San suddenly sat up from the carriage, pushed open the carriage door, and saw a little maid coming out of the back door.
In the light, I saw a young maid.
Xi San jumped out of the carriage and opened his eyes at the slightly opened back door, but did not see his aunt's figure.
"Are you Xi San, Grandma Xi's nephew?" The maid came over, looked at the carriage, and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I am. Where is my aunt?" Xi San nodded.
"Aunt Xi has something to do and she can't come. Please let me come over and tell you." The maid whispered.
"What, you can't come? I've been waiting for most of the day." Xi San was not happy. His aunt made him wait for so long in vain.
"Mama Xi said, take this first." The maid took out a purse and handed it over.
Xi San took it, weighed it twice, and felt that there was some silver inside. He immediately smiled and said, "Aunt, really, if you can't come, you can't come. As a nephew, what can I say? I'm always so polite."
Saying that, he turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." The maid stopped him, "Please help our Nanny Xi go to Ning Mansion to bring a message."
Aunt Xi often went to Ning Mansion. Xi San didn’t think there was any surprise and asked, “What are you talking about?”
"There have been a lot of things going on in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion recently, and there have been a lot of things in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. Our Marquis Mansion may check some old accounts and let the Ning Mansion check clearly. Are there any things lost? If they are really lost, something big will happen, and eventually
It's good to change the place, our Lord Marquis has always been willful, and he might really rush into the Ning Mansion." The maid looked around, then whispered in Xi San's ear.
This is specious and not a good thing to hear.
Xi Sangu rolled his eyes: "I know this. My aunt just said this and nothing else? Isn't this a particularly important thing?"
As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together, then looked at the maid with a smile.
The maid had no choice but to take out another piece of broken silver: "That's all. Aunt Xi said such a small thing, you are his nephew and shouldn't care about so much."
Xi San snatched it casually, his eyes turned bright with laughter, he put the broken silver into his arms, and said arrogantly: "I am my aunt's nephew, so of course I won't care about it, but this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen to more people.
People know that I, my nephew, is the most reliable person, and I guarantee that I will tell you the truth and not let anyone else know."
"You come back tomorrow night, at this time. Aunt Xi wants to know if Ning Mansion has responded! There will be chaos in the mansion. Madam is afraid that something will happen, and Aunt Xi is even more afraid that something will happen at this time."
Seeing that he was about to leave, the maid hurriedly spoke.
"My aunt is most at ease when I do things. Come over tomorrow and ask my aunt to prepare more things for me." Xi San replied with a smile without looking back.
After getting on the carriage, Xi San turned around and headed towards Ning Mansion. This was really not his fault. He took his aunt to Ning Mansion frequently, and when he went to Ning Mansion, he did so secretly, just like the night now.
.
Just spread the word, it is a great thing to get so much money. As expected, as long as it is given by my aunt, she must be generous. She has never let him down. Needless to say, there will be a large amount tomorrow, with such two large sums of money.
Now, you can live without doing anything this month.
At the back door of Xuanpinghou Mansion, Mingyue watched Xi San's carriage leave, stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, then turned and entered the back door, which was locked and closed.
Xi San drove the carriage to Ning Mansion and took the back door. He and Grandma Xi had never walked through the front door before, so this time he came here with familiarity.
I jumped off the carriage and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Finally, a woman's voice came from inside, looking weak.
"From the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." Xi San said skillfully, his footsteps hurriedly picked up, and then the door was opened immediately...
