Without waiting for anyone else to answer, he repeated what he just heard at the door.
Hearing that Ding Xiang dared to talk to Xie Songhua like this, everyone in the room widened their eyes and looked at the master and servant kneeling outside as if they had seen a ghost.
Anshi, the head of the house, saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. He immediately clicked his tongue and said, "This is the first time I've seen this slave train his master to be so arrogant. This is not a slave at all. He clearly invited an ancestor to give the four
The girl is here to provide for you!"
Mrs. An was eager to make Mrs. Qi uncomfortable, and she would put in two stitches whenever she saw a flaw.
Ding Xiang immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Old Madam, Madam Rong, this is a misunderstanding. How dare I instruct the fourth girl? In fact...it was actually the fourth girl who said that she didn't understand the rules of the house, and was afraid that her cowardice would be revealed in her actions. This paragraph
Time has always required us to strictly control her and learn the rules."
After saying that, she probably felt that this was a very good reason, and quickly turned to Xie Songhua, "right? Fourth girl?"
The last three words are especially painful.
Xie Songhua seemed to be frightened by her, and even trembled for a moment, and then stammered, "I... this... ah... um!"
"What do you mean?" Xie Sihua sneered, "Fourth girl, are you so scared that you can't even speak?"
When Xie Sihua's words came out, Ding Xiang was half-dead. She could only wink at Xie Songhua and beg, "Fourth girl, please speak up! Please speak clearly! Fourth girl..."
Xie Yuncang frowned and said, "Call Aunt Lan over."
Someone immediately passed by here. When they arrived at the Spring Banquet Terrace, everyone was startled when they saw the people from Shou'an Hall.
Bai Shao hurriedly came over with a smile, "Mom, do you know what the reason is? Our Aunt Lan is busy, can it be a little later?"
As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of silver into it, and the mother quietly accepted it, and then said with a cold face: "I don't dare to delay. The master has captured Dingxiang Shen over there! He will take it with him immediately.
Aunt Lan goes and asks clearly."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and told Bai Shao the key points of today's events.
Bai Shao laughed when he heard this and said: "Mom may not know that Aunt Lan is the aunt in charge in our yard, but I may know more about daily things, otherwise I will go with you! In case of any omissions
, it’s better to talk it over in front of the master, and save mom from having to make another trip later.”
After receiving the permission, Bai Shao hurriedly went to Aunt Lan and said, "Auntie, hurry up. The whole family is waiting in the Shou'an Hall! Don't let our girl be wronged."
While speaking, she had already stuffed a red gold bracelet on her hand into Aunt Lan's sleeve, and lowered her voice and said: "Auntie, you have to understand the situation clearly. If this incident comes together, I'm afraid the whole yard will be unsafe.
The sisters here are not disrespectful to you at all, aunt, so just take your role as the aunt in charge at the banquet table, and we will all be happy that we are safe and sound."
Seeing that Aunt Lan didn't speak, Bai Shao's eyebrows turned cold, "You don't know why Auntie went to the outer courtyard, do you? I have offended my wife, how can I still live well in the house? Auntie is not a fool."
Seeing that the red gold bracelet had slipped into her sleeve pocket, Bai Shao was completely relieved.
The other maids in the banquet hall usually bullied Xie Songhua, but now they were all in a panic, and they all followed him on tiptoe, not wanting to stay in the room.
Xie Yuncang didn't have the time to slowly sort out the matters in the inner courtyard. When he saw the people coming, he asked directly: "You are the person I gave to the fourth girl. Please tell me, during this time at Yanchuntai,
Is this girl a slave and a bully?"
Aunt Lan followed his finger and glanced at the lilacs on the ground, and then stepped forward to salute Xie Yuncang, "In reply to the master, I didn't serve you personally at the banquet stage, and the girl didn't tell the slave about these maids.
thing."
Ding Xiang's heart dropped slightly when she heard this. Looking at Bai Shao's wink at her, she became even more confident.
"So, you, the aunt in charge, don't know anything?" Xie Yuncang suddenly raised his voice, and there was a bit of anger in his voice.
He could clearly see what happened at the door of Shou'an Hall just now, and up to this moment, Xie Songhua still couldn't speak clearly.
Although she was not such an articulate child in Mengpo, she was not like this.
Bai Shao spoke at this moment: "Master, please, the fourth girl has never been very talkative. The slaves and slaves are thinking that from now on, we are all girl's people, and we must always put the girl's needs first in everything."
.
When the fourth girl comes from the countryside, the first thing that matters is the rules of the palace in Beijing, so I have been teaching the girl as much as possible with the knowledge of the slaves."
Qi said coolly: "This is what these little girls have in mind."
Aunt Lan spoke again at this time, "When the girl returned to the Yanchundai, it is true that she has never been very talkative. She didn't say two words to the slaves in a day, but..."
After hearing her previous words, Ding Xiang and Bai Shao's faces became more and more relaxed, but when they heard the next two words, they became slightly more concerned.
Aunt Lan took out a stack of paper from her arms and said, "The girl really doesn't like to talk much in the yard, but she always looks a little depressed. So the slave girl found some paper and told the girl to just write it down if there is anything."
But the girl was afraid that others would see and laugh at her ugly handwriting, so the slave girl found a box and helped the girl keep it, and promised not to look at the things inside. Therefore, the question that the master is asking now, the slave girl can only put this thing away
Take it out."
After speaking, he handed it to Xie Yuncang respectfully.
The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly changed, and any chatter that was still there disappeared. Everyone's eyes fell on the stack of papers handed over by Aunt Lan.
Lilac and Bai Shao looked shocked, how could it be possible?! When had Xie Songhua ever picked up a pen and written something?!
Others were in disbelief that Xie Songhua, a little girl from the countryside, actually knew how to read?!
Even the old lady couldn't help but move closer to her son to read the contents on the paper.
Xie Yuncang's brows became tighter and tighter as he read the contents on the paper, and in the end he even showed some deep thoughts.
The emotions of other people in the room were involuntarily aroused, and they wanted to crane their necks to see what was written on the paper.
After all, who is Xie Yuncang? When he was the second minister of the dynasty, it was already extremely condescending to give up a little maid for Xie Songhua. How big a complaint did Xie Songhua have to make on that paper to call this the current second minister of the dynasty?
His expression changed like this?
Not to mention, the old lady next to her looked serious.
Xie Yuncang finally cast his gaze on Xie Songhua, "Fourth girl, is it true that everything on this paper was written by you?"
