Outside the house, the eldest maid Xia Tao was talking to the other maids. She was shocked when she saw his anxious look, because this person was none other than Chong'er, the maid next to the uncle.
"What's the matter with you? Why are you soaked in the rain? Shouldn't you be with the master?" He greeted the little maid and quickly got a handkerchief for Chong'er.
"problem occurs!"
The eldest maid Xia Tao's heart skipped a beat: "What happened? Master, what happened to him?"
The young man Chong'er said anxiously: "It's not the master, it's the second master... The second master participated in gambling and was taken down by someone. The master sent his slave back to find the eldest lady to redeem him with money."
"What?! This second master is really serious. He never takes any money from home. He only plays outside all day long. Now that he is fine, he actually... even gambled..." The eldest maid Xia Tao was extremely anxious.
, hurry into the house and report.
The eldest lady of the Yao family, whose surname is Sun and known as Mrs. Yao, was taking a nap in the house, but the weather was sultry and there were several thunders, which kept her from falling asleep.
In a daze, he seemed to hear his maid talking to someone, and then heard her come in and give a report to him.
At this moment, Mrs. Yao couldn't lie down any longer and immediately sat up: "Let Chong'er come in quickly."
"Yes, ma'am."
The eldest maid Xia Tao went out to invite someone.
The young man, Chong'er, took the towel handed over by the young maid, wiped it carelessly, and quickly followed the eldest maid, Xia Tao, into the house.
"Meet Madam."
"Get up, let's talk about what's going on. How could a good second master gamble with others?" In Mrs. Yao's impression, although the second master is a bit unsatisfactory, he likes to raise birds and fight crickets for fun, but gambling
He would never do such a thing as having sex with a prostitute.
But now, the personal servant next to her man keeps saying that the second master participated in gambling and was detained?
"Back to Madam, the specific servant is not very clear. At that time, the uncle was drinking tea with someone, and the servant was waiting outside. Suddenly someone came to the door with the second master's token and asked the uncle to pay for the second master, otherwise he would
I took off the second master’s arm.”
"How brave!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yao was so angry that she pounded the bed, "That's the Viscount's biological brother, and they actually said that. Don't they want to live?"
The boy Chong'er didn't dare to speak.
Mrs. Yao was angry for a while and said, "How much silver do you want?"
"One thousand taels."
"What?!"
"Gold." Chong'er, the young man, added two words weakly.
Not to mention one thousand taels of gold, there was not even one thousand taels of silver in Gongzhong's account. Where could she find money? Mrs. Yao took a breath of air, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
The eldest maid Xia Tao was frightened to death and rushed over to help: "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you? Madam..."
The young man, Chong'er, took a few steps forward, remembered that he was a man, and quickly stepped back: "Sister Xia Tao, hurry up and take a look at Madam."
Supporting the madam, the eldest maid Xia Tao's tears suddenly fell down, and she said distressedly: "Madam is not in good health to begin with, and she has to be in charge of the house. She often spends half the night unable to sleep. It's only when she can hold on.
, what are you looking at? Why don’t you call a doctor quickly..."
With the maid Xia Tao in charge, the room was not in a mess. The doctor was invited, the bed was made, and everyone quickly started to work.
It's just that the young man Chong'er stood here, looking a little "superfluous" and very annoying.
"Why are you still standing here? Please go to the second room to deal with the second room. Didn't you see that our wife is still fainting?" The eldest maid Xia Tao defended her wife, "Isn't her second wife very capable and wants the right to run the house?
Well, I kept finding fault with my wife when I had nothing to do all day long. Now it’s better. She can take charge of the family and worry about her own man’s affairs..."
The boy Chong'er was kicked out directly.
"Hey..." Wanting to explain, but afraid of delaying his master's affairs, the young man Chong'er could only breathe at the courtyard door and hurried to the courtyard of the second room.
Fortunately, although the maid Xia Tao was a bit harsh, she didn't forget to ask the little maid to prepare an umbrella for him. This time he didn't have to endure the rain anymore.
Well, if you are already wet, what use can you do if you hold an umbrella?
Probably, I just don’t have to get wet in the rain.
On the other side, in Mrs. Yao's yard, Mrs. Yao was talking to an inconspicuous boy.
It turned out that this boy was responsible for guarding the main gate, but she bribed him. If there was any movement at home, she asked him to report to her at any time.
If you report well, you might even get a "big reward".
No, the young boy Chong'er had just come in from the main door. He was soaked in the rain and walked through the center with an anxious look on his face. The young boy hurried to the second room to "ask for a reward".
Mrs. Yao Er and Mrs. Yao have a bad relationship, so of course they are eager to see the big house's jokes.
When the boy said that the boy beside the uncle was running wildly in the rain, something must have happened. He immediately laughed: "Really? Did you tell me what happened?"
"I don't know about this little one. He has a tight mouth. How could he talk to the little one?"
Mrs. Yao Er's expression suddenly changed and she became a little unhappy: "You don't know anything, so why are you here to ask for a reward? Anyone who stands there can see where he is running and can tell me...then I
Why should I give you a reward?"
"Second Madam, that's not what you said. According to what you said, the little one doesn't actually need to make such a trip. If the little one doesn't run, wouldn't it be too late for you to know the news? This night
, maybe everything over there has been resolved..." When the young man heard that Mrs. Yao Er wanted to deduct his reward, he became a little unhappy.
Although he didn't show it on his face, he was actually complaining in his heart: If you don't have money, don't pretend to be such a rich man!
Mrs. Yao Er didn't notice, and she didn't bother to look at a servant's face. She winked at the eldest maid Qiu He and asked her to take out the smallest red envelope.
As soon as the boy got it in his hands, he disliked it.
There is no other way. If you can get to the point like him, even if you don't have other skills, you still have the ability to figure out how much money is included in the red envelope.
Without saying anything, he slapped a thousand dollars and left Mrs. Yao Er's yard honestly.
When he got outside, he spat at Mrs. Yao Er's yard and said, "Bah! How can you send a beggar away with just a few copper coins? If it weren't for me..."
Before I finished speaking, I saw someone walking towards me with an umbrella.
He quickly got behind the rockery next to him.
Only when he got closer did he realize that this was not the personal servant he just mentioned to the second lady, the uncle's personal servant.
Didn't he go to the first lady's place? Why did he come to the second lady's place again?
It's so wet, and I'm holding an umbrella...
A guess suddenly came to mind. You must know that being able to be the personal servant next to the master must have a higher status than ordinary servants in the house. Anyone who sees him must call him "Brother".
But now, Brother Chong'er, who has a "noble" status, is not in a hurry to change his clothes, but he is running around from house to house with rain all over him. How can it be nothing?
Thinking of this, the young man looked at Mrs. Yao Er's yard: Yes, the retribution in this world is here!
