Son of Heaven Assistance System

Chapter 214

In the courtyard where Bai Qianli, the fourth bedroom of the Bai family, used to live, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid was holding a broom tightly in her hand, excitedly and furtively approached another maid who looked slightly older than her, and couldn't wait Share with him the big gossip I just learned: "Hey... Sister Xiaohong, have you heard about it? At noon, the old lady got very angry in Yanhe Hall, and put Si Ye and The fourth lady was scolded severely."

Probably because she was too gloating about the misfortune, the little maid burst into laughter as she spoke, and then continued teasing: "...No wonder the fourth lady's face was so frightening when she returned to the courtyard that time, I didn't even dare to raise my eyes to look at her. I really didn’t expect that the Fourth Madam, who was usually so arrogant about Miss Ninth, would have such a day. God really opened her eyes. Oh, no, it should be the old Madam who opened her eyes, so she should take good care of this vicious Fourth Madam. lady……"

The older servant girl named Xiaohong put down the duster in a hurry when she heard that, she reached out to cover the gossiping servant girl, and complained, "Yang'er, you are getting fatter, what are you talking about?" Dare to say it, be careful that walls have ears.”

Yang'er dodged away and muttered: "Sister Xiaohong, you are too careful. There are only two of us here. The others have been scattered by the Fourth Madam. Where can there be others? What are you afraid of? ...It is true that the Fourth Madam refused to let Miss Ninth live in this wonderful courtyard. She said that it was close to the Fourth Master’s study, so it was convenient for the Fourth Master to teach the Fourteenth Young Master and let the young lady free up for the Fourteenth Young Master to live in. But How long has this been going on, but the Fourteenth Young Master hasn’t moved in yet. It’s really hard for Miss Ninth to live in that shabby yard. I think the Fourth Madam just wants to prevent Miss Ninth from living comfortably.”

The more Yang'er talked, the more angry she became, and the broom in her hand hit the ground again and again.In fact, Yang'er and Xiaohong should be regarded as Bai Xianli's maids. After all, for many years, Bai Qianli was the only master in the fourth room of the Bai family.Bai Xianli moved to a new house, logically speaking, they should move to the new courtyard with Bai Xianli, but Bai Xianli's new residence is too small, it is not convenient to have too many maids, so The Fourth Madam only let Bai Xianli's personal servant girl and another maidservant follow Bai Xianli to the new courtyard, and all the other servants in this courtyard, except Xiaohong and Yang'er, were scattered to other courtyards in the fourth room. However, Xiaohong and Yang'er were left in this yard to do some basic maintenance.

In fact, Xiaohong doesn't know that there will be no other people in this courtyard now. After all, even if the fourth wife wants to monitor Miss Jiu, she should send someone to Miss Jiu's new courtyard. It's just an empty yard that has been left unused. What do the two maidservants care about.

But Xiaohong's prudence is a prudence deeply rooted in her character, which has nothing to do with time and place.

Sighing, Xiaohong didn't pay any attention to Yang'er anymore, she knew she couldn't understand Yang'er at this time, so it's really just the two of them here, if Yang'er wants to say it, she can say it, because Yang'er is arguing for Miss Nine , so she gloated over the fourth wife and fourth master being scolded by the old lady, why didn't she feel sorry and injustice for the ninth miss, Bai Xianli?
Xiaohong turned around and picked up the duster and continued to sweep the dust seriously. It had not been long since Quercus leucoides moved out of this yard. There were still many traces of her life in the yard, and there were even many things belonging to Quercus leucophylla, such as her Those books and storybooks had not been moved out of the yard. Xiao Hongzai carefully cleaned the dust that might have fallen on the books. These books that were forced to stay were just like her and Yang'er, who obviously wanted to follow Bai Xian. Together, they are all involuntary.

Yang'er, who had been paying attention to Xiaohong, saw that Xiaohong really didn't want to discuss with him, so he pursed his mouth resentfully after a while, and followed suit with the broom in his hand to sweep.

The two were cleaning quietly with their own thoughts in mind, when suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside the study, and it seemed that they had already arrived outside the door in an instant, Xiaohong and Yanger were looking at each other in doubt, with a "clang", The door of the study room was pushed open from the outside, and the afternoon sun unscrupulously shone into the study room that had lost its owner, and at the same time dazzled Xiao Hong and Yang Er in the study room for a moment.

"who is it?"

Xiaohong subconsciously blocked Yang'er behind her, and tried her best to block the light with her hands and looked out the door. The glare of the sun made her unable to see who was coming. She could only roughly see that there were not many people coming, both men and women. .

"Oh...what's the matter with my old lady still living in this yard? She doesn't even have a yard guard. It turns out that you two are loafing in the study." posture.

Yang'er stood up behind Xiaohong. She squinted her eyes. Although she couldn't see who was coming, Yang'er justly refuted the talking mother-in-law: "Who says we are being lazy? Don't you need to scan the books left by the lady?" Dust, haven't you seen us with a broom and a duster, who is lazy and brings these, isn't it comfortable to lie down and rest?"

At this time, Xiaohong had already gotten used to the sunshine, and she could see who was coming. Unexpectedly, the person who came was not under the Fourth Madam. She didn't recognize the others, but she had the impression that the woman in the lead was Yanhetang. people.

Xiaohong pulled Yang'er and signaled Yang'er to stop talking. She stepped forward and explained: "Mom misunderstood. Yang'er and I are indeed cleaning the study room. I just don't know what mom is doing here today? Our lady is no longer here." She lives in this courtyard, and she has now moved to the courtyard at the back. If mom is not familiar with the way, Xiaohong can show you the way."

"You're a cute one..." The old woman looked at Xiaohong with a smile for a while, then she looked away, stepped into the study, looked around a few times, and nodded: "Mmm... I've been cleaning with all my heart."

"Okay, come in, pack up carefully and move away."

Following the mother-in-law's greeting, five or six young servants and maidservants filed in immediately, and without any pause, they began to pack up the books on the bookshelf.

"Hey... what are you doing, stop! Stop!" Yang'er immediately became anxious, and seeing that she was about to step forward to stop the theory, Xiaohong quickly grabbed Yang'er, and the mother-in-law dared to come with a big fanfare Taking these books must be something to rely on, and it will only be a disadvantage for them to stop them hastily.

Xiaohong tried to keep calm and asked: "Mom, what do you mean by this? These are the books that Miss Jiu cherishes on weekdays. Where are you going to take them? Please be sure to tell me, so that if Miss Jiu asks in the future, the servant girl It’s better to explain to Miss.”

The mother-in-law saw and heard Yang'er's actions and Xiaohong's words, and couldn't help but smile a little more sincerely.

"Of course it was brought to the original owner. Miss Jiu will be moving to Yanhe Hall from now on, and her things will naturally be brought to Yanhe Hall as well."

"...As for you, hurry up and tidy up."
