The weather is gradually entering the end of autumn. The autumn leaves in the courtyard are lightly curled. In a few days, the kang will be lit in the house. Cao Xiwan often sits on the kang outside the west wing recently.
"I'm sick." She coughed. It was cold in winter, but she knew it was much better than last year. She was wrapped in an embroidered scarf, a sapphire blue jacket, and a pair of pearl earrings in her ears.
She carefully calculated her plans and bets, and ignored Wenxue. She thought, why was she still asked to work every day when she had already returned from Shuizhuangzi?
Eight big girls, one less than her, how could there be so much work to do?
Maybe Wenxue, this girl, guessed that she was the one following him around the Zhuyuan last time, and she was the one who informed Qin Meng?
Wenxue was locked up for ten days and was not allowed to leave the main room. I'm afraid she already disliked her.
Cao Xiwan felt that now was not the time to quarrel. She was busy making money, so she should be sick when she was sick.
Seeing that she remained motionless, Wenxue was so angry that she stamped her feet and her eyes were red, as if she, Cao Xiwan, had bullied a room full of busy girls.
Cao Xiwan tilted his head and pretended not to see it.
"You don't even help Lady Jia Shu with her six rites!"
"..."
"How many things did the second wife reward you? You don't even remember." Wenxue threw down the door curtain and went to the porch to feed the bugger. Her cursing voice could be heard outside the green window.
Cao Xiwan in the room turned a deaf ear. The old god was sitting on the wooden bed by the window, settling accounts.
"..."
"The second master saw you and asked the girl to pour you tea. He said you worked hard! Those of us who are girls don't work hard!" Wenxue sneered and said to Ba Geer, "Isn't it? Who is not a girl!"
"..."
"Miss Jia Shu, I know you like to eat rose milk soup, so I will remember to leave you a cup. You said that you don't know how many times you scream at others when you eat other people's soup, right, little ball?"
"
Xiaoqiu'er is the name of myna.
Cao Xiwan grabbed the abacus, placed it hard on the small table, and shouted loudly through the window:
"Are you blind? I helped prepare the dowry. I also changed the shop, and I also prepared the extra dowry for the wife and the Marquis. Even the Huichun Hall that I was in charge of was replaced by Prince Tang.
!”
She couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood on the kang and pushed the horizontal window pane. This action caused the mynas to fly around in the corridor, and slapped Wenxue in the face. Wenxue screamed, ran away a few steps and raised her head, Cao Xi
Wan's face was thrust in front of her.
She was so frightened that she took another step back.
Cao Xiwan poked his head out of the horizontal window and quarreled with Wenxue: "I also went to Shuizhuangzi specially to meet the internal stewards of the Tang Dynasty Palace, Ms. Zhao and Ms. Fan. They are both in our mansion now. They are teaching Jia Jia.
Book lady rules! Go and ask them, where were you when I was busy in Shuizhuangzi?"
She shouted and coughed at the same time, which did not hinder her sharp teeth and sharp mouth at all.
"You see that Mother Chen is sick, Yunzhu is gentle, Jianghe doesn't like to take things into his own hands, and Xiliu is a coaxing young lady. There is no tiger in the mountain, and you jumped out and became the king! Dream on, I will return your Aunt Cao
here I am!"
Wenxue's face turned purple with anger, so she opened the curtain and came in to argue with her.
She got annoyed, sat down cross-legged, and pounded the table, "Don't bother me! My wife is not here, I'm the biggest one! Just shut up if I tell you to."
"...You! How dare you say that!" Wenxue rolled her sleeves angrily, "My wife asked me to take care of things."
"Do you want to fight? I can beat ten of you, believe it or not! Just use chicken feathers as arrows, and who knows?"
When she saw Wenxue still dared to roll down her sleeves, she laughed so much that she wanted to roll on the kang, and then jumped up on the kang menacingly. Cao Xiwan crossed his eyes, put his hands on his hips, condescendingly, twisted his facial features to put on a sinister face, and tried to stop the girl who was trying to break up the fight
They were all shocked. She shouted:
"I'm the oldest and the first to enter the mansion. What's wrong? You don't accept it? Let's go to the old lady to reason with you -! Do you think our old family members are easy to bully? Is there any law in this mansion -! I want to go to the old lady.
My wife is crying in front of you——!"
This time after the quarrel, even Yanzhi glared at her. He criticized her privately, saying that she looked like another Cao father.
She is not like her biological father, who is such a diligent person. When she is just lazy, she can be as confident as her father. She hummed.
She sneered and walked out of the west wing. She glanced at Yunzhu and Jianghe beside the door, but they didn't even come to help Xue.
Sure enough, Wenxue's handling of affairs these days is far less fair than Mrs. Chen's, and she offended them.
She kept doing nothing, went back to her room, hugged her own pillow and quilt, and broke into Wenxue's room:
"I want to change rooms! Yanzhi and I will sleep in this room! You go and sleep in ours!"
"You...why?"
"Let me go first! I don't like sleeping in Dada's room! How can you be reasonable if you occupy a room by yourself?"
"Xiliu also has a room for one person!"
"Then you go and sleep with Xiliu. You think she's not easy to talk to. You know that our Yanzhi is soft-hearted, right?"
"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan -" Although Yan Zhi was a violent person, Wen Xue smiled and spoke, which made it easier for her to get angry.
Cao Xiwan was very angry.
In the letter written by Zhao's mother, she said that she had bought fake medicinal materials again.
Thanks to the small portion.
But there is no reliable way to buy medicines in the north. Prince Zhao's Mansion has bought out a lot of medicinal materials. Her nephew is a member of the royal family, and there is no reliable way to buy large quantities of medicinal materials.
Cao Xiwan had a headache, and Wenxue came to stir up trouble. Is she still polite to her?
She grabbed the room, moved all Yanzhi's bedding, snatched a few packages in the room and threw them to Wenxue. Wenxue did not dare to go to Xiliu.
In the end, Yun Zhu pulled her back to the room, and the three of them shared a room first.
Yanzhi had a psoriasis on her arm due to moisture. She moved to another room and applied medicine and it was cured the next day.
"I am really just a young lady with a body and a slave life." Yanzhi sighed.
"Don't pay attention to them. Don't I have work to do? She asked me to pack my wife's jewelry, but I won't go."
She knew it well, and she was not Madam's confidant, so she wouldn't touch many things.
What does Wenxue want to do?
She quietly asked Yanzhi: "Did Yuci say bad things about me?"
She didn't think that Wenxue was capable of knowing that it was her who was following her at that time. Qin Meng wouldn't tell either.
Yanzhi was stunned. Yuci, the eldest girl in the fifth room, was indeed good friends with Wenxue. She came here often these days.
A jade word? Cao Xiwan thought, and finally one jumped out.
"I haven't seen anyone dare to say bad things about me in the Hou Mansion in the past two years." She smiled slightly.
Another fifth-bedroom person?
Ninety-nine percent of the time, Yuci is the person who wrote the [poisonous] note. But this is a small matter.
What happened in the fifth room. The second steward must be keeping an eye on it now. Cao Xiwan thought, so she just jumped out, stopped Yuci in the painted gallery of Baihua Hall, and stretched out her hand: "Fifty Wen."
"...What? What did you say?"
As soon as Yu Ci finished talking to Wen Xue, she was startled, her face turned red, and she fawned over her words. The Bugger on the corridor was born to be a snobbery, and when he saw Cao Xiwan getting ready to start a fight, he started to argue.
The Eighth Brother cooed and laughed at Yuci like a human being.
"Fifty cents. Last time we did Buddhist services in Chengfu Temple, you didn't give us fifty cents. It was paid by a few of us."
"...But, I was sick, so I didn't go. I asked Yu Yan to tell you."
Cao Xiwan stared: "Did we pay for nothing?"
Yuci bit her lip. Wenxue saw the movement and walked back quickly to ask, "She didn't go at all, and you deliberately bullied her again?"
She raised her eyebrows and stretched out her hand to grab the jade words, "Okay, let's ask Qingque, Suyun and the others if they want to calculate the money."
