Mu Xiang thanked the young lady on behalf of the others in the yard, then carried the things and walked out of the wing door.
When she met the maid sweeping outside, she raised her eyes, smiled at Mu Xiang, and said hello.
Mu Xiang also smiled back and said lightly, "This place is very clean. Come get three lychees and rest for a while."
Seeing that the little maid was stunned, she added, "The lady made the concession. It can be considered as a taste for you."
This little maid was from a humble background. She had never eaten such good food before. At this moment, she suddenly thought of her younger brother who was still studying at home. He was afraid that he didn't even care about the food, but here she inherited the title of the young lady.
Enjoy the blessings of me. Thinking of this, tears fell quickly.
"Arui thanked Miss," she picked three smaller ones with tears in her eyes, and then said hesitantly, "Sister Muxiang, I, I plan to keep two back and ask my brother to try them too."
Mu Xiang thought it was funny, "Silly Ari, if I could let you go, you would have died a long time ago. If the lady tells you to eat, just take it and don't think too much." She knew the Ari family.
In this case, I also feel that the tip of my nose is sore.
Ah Rui thought about it, and it seemed like the same thing, and she responded dully, and then she smiled slightly as if she thought of something.
He chatted with her casually for a few more words, and because Mu Xiang still had something to do, he left first.
At this moment, everyone was probably doing their own work, and no one was in the room where they slept. She planned to put the lychees away first, since the weather was not easy to spoil.
As soon as I stepped into the house, I saw another maid in a light green gown, holding a gold hairpin in her hand. She was so enchanted that she didn't even know that anyone had come in.
Mu Xiang frowned slightly. She had already arranged work for Qing Dai, so why was she taking a break here? Ever since she asked the lady to burn her hands, Mu Xiang had not had a good impression of Qing Dai, and now she was even more dissatisfied.
A bit happy.
I don’t know where Qingdai’s family worked, but they were able to raise such lazy people.
She called Qingdai's name, and saw that she was stunned for a moment before raising her head, as if the name was not calling her.
"Miss Muxiang," Qingdai was startled and hurriedly held Jin Chai and turned her hand away, "Why are you here? Is this... lychee you are serving?"
She does have good eyesight. Muxiang sneered secretly.
She replied, "The lady rewarded them. Just take three of them."
Qingdai didn't seem to care too much about this thing. She came up to get it and thanked her casually, without looking at it over and over like Ari.
Muxiang looked her over, raised her head slightly, and motioned for her to take out the objects behind her, "What is that behind?"
Qingdai hid her hand, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, this is my own thing." Even so, her eyes were wandering.
"Who said this isn't your thing?" Mu Xiang felt strange. Hearing her words like this, she insisted on taking it out to have a look. Seeing that she was very stubborn and refused to let go even though she knew she couldn't hide.
Mu Xiang took a step to the side and pulled her hand out.
This is a carved gold hairpin. To be precise, there is only one strand. It imitates the shape of a butterfly playing with flowers, which is quite exquisite. It's just that there is some white in the gold, which doesn't look like real gold.
Muxiang has been serving Ruan Yuyi for many years, and she is familiar with the lady's hairpin. It is indeed Qingdai's own thing.
But she couldn't help but not think too much about this golden hairpin with only one strand left. One hairpin had two strands, and they were divided into two parts. Half was kept for herself, and the other half was given to the person she loved. They would put it back together when they meet again one day, as a token of love and farewell.
vulgar.
No wonder she was staring blankly at Chai Chai as soon as she came in, still hiding it. Mu Xiang loosened her hand and said nothing more.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qingdai suddenly felt confident. She felt that she was a maid, so how could she have the right to check her personal belongings? So she rubbed her wrist and raised her voice, "Miss Muxiang, what do you mean?"
In fact, what Mu Xiang thought was quite different from the real situation. It was just that Qing Dai's sweetheart, although he accepted the other half of the hairpin, he did not keep her.
Now that she has left his side, with their identities so different, after this separation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other again. This is Qingdai's only thought.
Although Mu Xiang didn't show it on her face, seeing that she seemed to be feeling guilty, it was hard not to think too much.
At this moment, she was also feeling a little guilty. Instead of arguing with Qingdai, she paused and said warmly, "If you want to leave at any time, just tell the lady. Why hide it? Our lady's heart is
Okay, maybe I will make some plans for you."
Hearing this, Qingdai's eyes flashed for a moment, then dimmed suddenly. After meeting that person, she had long lost the idea of living with others. It was a pity that there were so many people around him, so it was her turn.
.
Seeing that Qingdai was silent, she added, "I just want to stay and do my work. Don't let the lady think she has looked at you wrongly."
After saying this, Mu Xiang turned around and left the wing.
Qingdai stared at the empty door for a long time, clenching the hairpin in her hand.
But Ruan Yuyi said that she only tasted two lychees, then took the soaked handkerchief from Mu Ling's hand and wiped her hands carefully. After not eating for a long time, she felt a little tired. She raised her eyes,
Then Mu Xiang opened the door and came in.
"Miss."
Ruan Yuyi responded and asked casually, "Have they all been divided?"
Mu Xiang truthfully told her what happened. Unexpectedly, she laughed softly and said, "If you have a sweetheart like Qingdai, I will naturally have good plans with you."
"Miss, please stop teasing the slaves," Mu Xiang said with a helpless smile, "Be careful, this silly girl Mu Ling takes her seriously."
Hearing this, Mu Ling put down the tray in his hand and gave her an angry look, "Sister Mu Xiang——"
Mu Xiang smiled, and then said seriously, "But when I first came back, I saw them talking about Aunt Mei, so I listened."
This group of them naturally refers to the other maids in the courtyard. They all stay in the house to work all year round and rarely go out. Their days go by day by day, but they have no real sense of it.
Therefore, good things are inevitable. Sometimes we gather together to talk for a few words. As long as no big trouble occurs, the masters basically turn a blind eye.
Ruan Yuyi put down the tea cup and looked at her, telling her to continue talking.
Mu Xiang didn't keep it secret either. After all, she didn't want to hide it from anyone at this time. If she wanted to know, it would only be a matter of time.
"Aunt Mei is pregnant."
There was a look of surprise in Ruan Yuyi's eyes. The first thing she thought of was how Cheng Zhu would react. After all, since Mei's previous child died in infancy, she only had one daughter, who was only ten and two years old.
However, no matter what, Mr. Cheng was so happy that he finally got a son from his beloved concubine, and wished he could tell the world about it.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip again, with a calm expression. As for Aunt Mei, she would have nothing to do with her from now on, and she was too lazy to think about anything.
She said, "Go down and tell them not to talk anymore." In order to avoid being caught in the wrong by Cheng Zhu and taking it out on him.
