Bian Lei sat cross-legged next to Bian Baye. Seeing his father getting angry, he smiled and said: "The kitchen was burned down by a crazy woman last night, and it rained heavily at noon. The servants and women in the backyard couldn't clean up in time, and the children
I'm also delayed because of something, so I can't help."
"Yuan Xue lost her temper again in the afternoon and punished all the maids in the front yard. Now these maids are seriously injured and have to find someone to give them medicine, so they have to find the child slaves to take care of them. There are also some like my mother, who is in front of her
The wind and cold I have suffered for a few days have not healed yet, so I still need someone to take care of me."
"It's getting more and more outrageous!" Bian Baye slapped the wine table with a heavy palm.
Bian Lei smiled and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it's not my sister's fault. I heard that Erlang asked her to punish her."
Bian Baye's face suddenly became less ugly. He relaxed very obviously and nodded: "Oh, that's it."
As he said that, he picked up the wine jar on the side and pulled the bowl next to him to pour wine.
Bian Lei looked at his expression and cursed a few curse words in his mind. The smile on his face did not change and he poured himself a bowl of wine.
There are many scattered courtyards behind Longhu Hall. There are two small rooms in the northernmost courtyard. One of the small rooms is lit with an oil lamp. Xiaowu, Xiaorong and three other girls are kneeling on the ground.
, give medicine to some big maids.
The wound was probably touched, so Du Xiang suddenly cursed: "Can't you be gentler?" while kicking the girl kneeling in front of her in the chest.
Du Xiang's leg was seriously injured, and his hard kick didn't have much strength, but he still kicked the girl until she fell down behind him.
The girl was too frightened to move and looked at Xiaowu and Xiaorong in fear.
Xiao Rong's eyes were not squinting, his expression was calm, and he seemed to turn a blind eye.
Xiao Wu couldn't bear to cast a glance.
"Trash!" Du Xiang cursed again, "You can go find a pool and kneel down later!"
"You are also applying medicine here." A pleasant and brisk female voice came in from outside the door.
As soon as he heard this voice, Xiao Wu's entire face turned white instantly.
Lian Ping cracked melon seeds and walked leisurely across the threshold. After entering, he sat down on the kang not far away and said, "You have all been punished. I thought I would die of exhaustion alone, but I didn't expect that I felt relaxed."
Woolen cloth."
The maids in the room didn't look good.
Du Xiang said coldly: "Don't be so arrogant just because you are the second young master."
"I just came back arrogantly from Xiaoshu," Liping said provocatively, "You are all so miserable, so miserable."
Du Xiang sneered and didn't want to talk anymore.
They are Aunt Liu's people, and they may have arrogant capital, but they are not brainless people.
Some provocative words can be said for a short time, but if the words are used, it will not be so easy to mess with in the future. The number of maids beaten to death in the front yard is no less than the servants and child slaves in the back yard.
Moreover, everyone now knows that Liping is the second young master's roommate, and the second young master has directly asked Liping to sleep on his bed in the inner room several times.
I can't afford to offend him anyway.
"What are you doing!" Jin Zhi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly cursed.
Xiao Wu knelt in front of her and lowered his head. He was just too nervous and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Jin Zhi only retracted his foot and did not directly kick the person like Du Xiang.
"Will you be able to do something? It's so careless!"
Xiao Wu held the small porcelain bottle in his hand and did not dare to speak. He paused, poured some ointment on his fingertips again, and tentatively moved towards Jin Zhi's wound. Seeing that she did not refuse, he carefully touched it.
"These melon seeds are good, would you like some?" Reiping saw them like this, smiled and stretched out his hand and asked.
Du Xiang glanced at it: "That's it, you can keep it for yourself."
"I'm fine. I still have a lot of it after I finish eating."
What's more, everyone knows that Master Ba and the others have not gained anything during this period. They also lost a lot of people today. In addition, how can anyone in this world have the leisure to fry melon seeds one by one? How many can I grab for you?
.
Du Xiang's face turned completely gloomy and he said: "Master Ba and the others are in a bad mood today. You want to deliberately provoke us to say something, and then ask these little bitches to go back to the backyard and spread the word. If it makes a big fuss, it will make us look good."
?”
"What did you say?" Liping looked at her funny.
"If you don't like anyone else, stop pretending to be enthusiastic."
Normally, she and Reihei just hate each other, but if Reihei is really what she thought just now, that is, he just wants them to die in an ugly way, then there is no need to be polite.
"I'm fine." Xiao Rong stood up and said.
The maids all looked at her.
Xiao Rong took another gauze and came over to help Xiao Wu bandage Jin Zhi's knee. She moved very quickly. After wrapping it, she whispered softly: "We have to go back. There are not enough people behind. Aunt Feng will scold us."
Xiaowu also stood up quickly, not forgetting to look at Lianping from the corner of his eye.
Reihei had already withdrawn his gaze and continued to eat melon seeds leisurely there.
Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
The other girls were a little slow. Xiao Rong and Xiao Wu didn't wait for them and walked out of Du Xiang's bedroom one after another.
Xiaowu's legs were weak, his head was covered in sweat, and his whole face was pale.
Xiaorong turned around and saw her like this, and asked in a low voice in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu said nothing and shook his head slightly.
She didn't want to implicate Xiaorong about this matter, so it was better not to talk about it.
Her literacy booklet was actually stolen from Bian Erlang's study.
She happened to be delivering ginseng soup that day. Seeing that there was no one in the study, she bravely took out a booklet from the most inconspicuous corner and stuffed it into her arms.
Unexpectedly, he happened to bump into Reping when he came out.
Although I don’t know if they found out that the booklet was missing later. After all, it seemed to be just an inconspicuous little thing, but it is inevitable to feel guilty as a thief.
Moreover, no matter whether it is an inconspicuous thing or not, if it is stolen and it is stolen on Bian Yuanfeng's head, it will definitely not end well. The most neglected thing here is human life.
"Xiaowu?" Xiaorong called again.
"It's really okay." Xiao Wuqiang cheered up. Anyway, he should be more careful in the future to avoid Lianping and the second young master.
There were very few girls who went back to the backyard early. They received the porridge sporadically from Aunt Feng, took it to the corner next to them and squatted down to drink it.
Xiao Wu begged a servant girl to get an extra bun, and when she came back, she gave half of it to Xiao Rong.
The two people sat on the square stones. A rain during the day brought a lot of coolness. Xiao Wu looked at the charred ruins not far away and said softly: "I don't know when the construction will be completed. The people in the front yard don't seem to have any."
I plan to come and help."
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Rong said hurriedly.
"At least when it's not burned, we still have some minced meat to eat, and the porridge won't be so thin." Xiao Wu was so greedy that he drooled when he thought of meat. He turned back to look at Xiao Rong, "Sister, we used to have meat at home.
