"You mean Madam wants to talk to me?" Wang Mengjiao couldn't believe what she heard. She didn't lose face in front of Madam the first two times, but this time she suddenly talked to herself, and she was quite flattered.
"It's just that I just came from Madam, but I got accurate information. You should go back and make preparations." He reminded her and hoped that she would be more "acceptable", so Madam Meng agreed immediately.
"Really?" Wang Mengjiao almost jumped up with excitement. She took Xu Ruoshui's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for speaking up for me, otherwise I would really have to wait until my temples are stained with frost." I didn't expect her to treat Meng Tianqi like this.
Obsessed, even willing to wait a lifetime.
"Okay, okay, go hurry up, I'm still hungry." Xu Ruoshui sneered, "We will have plenty of time to talk in the future."
Wang Mengjiao bowed her knees and thanked her, then fluttered away like a white butterfly.
The house will be lively from now on!
After returning to Ningxiang Hall, Yan'er was the only one guarding the courtyard. Xiao Shunzi was nowhere to be seen, so he asked, "Where has Xiao Shunzi gone? It can be said that he is waiting for the eldest master to send him."
Yan'er was sweating from the heat, and waved her hands to fan herself some air, "The young master is taking Xiao Shunzi out."
"What did you say?" Xu Ruoshu quickened his pace and entered the bedroom. There was no one else on the bed. When he touched the quilt, it was already cold. "How long have you been out? Why didn't you come and tell me?"
Yan'er just obeyed and guarded the yard, "The young master loves to play, and there is a little Shunzi with him. I am worried about why you haven't come back yet. There is still food being heated for you in the stove."
Meng Tianbo used to love playing and thought he had nothing to say, but after he injured his head, he became taciturn. How could he not worry about it, "Go and bring it, but I have lunch and can't use it."
Yan'er went to the kitchen, and the voice of "eldest young lady" sounded outside the door again. When she looked back, she saw it was Baomei.
"Is there something wrong with Miss Zi Yan? I've been really busy these two days and can't take care of her, so you have to worry about it." Xu Ruoshui finally took a rest and didn't plan to go see Zi Yan again, so she gave Baomei a message.
He and I both poured a glass of water. Seeing that she was also locked in the side room waiting for Zi Yan all day long, it was rare for her to take a breather.
"It's okay, the things Madam sent us are all of the best quality, including a cup of bird's nest every day," Baomei reported on Zi Yan's daily diet in a somewhat routine manner.
Xu Ruoshui nodded while listening. Mrs. Meng attached great importance to this child.
"In addition, Zi Yan started to win over the slaves last night, saying that as long as the slaves help her get rid of the eldest mistress, she will have the final say in the yard from now on, and I will be able to live well and drink well. These words should not be said to you, but you should know
I don't want to be a concubine or a wife of a fool." What Baomei hates is Zi Yan. The last time she was drugged, she suffered a lot. Besides, she has enjoyed real pleasures, so she still wants someone with an empty name.
You idiot young master, even if you are a wife, it is no different than staying alone in the empty boudoir.
"Since Miss Baomei made it so clear, I won't hide it anymore. Zi Yan wants to win over you, as long as you suit her wishes. I will satisfy the girl when the time comes, but what I need is evidence." Harmful
After the evidence was conclusive, Xu Ruoshui could no longer keep Zi Yan, and she wanted to take revenge on Wan Qiu.
"The eldest young lady is really refreshing," Baomei resigned.
Yan'er brought lunch over and muttered, "That Zi Yan is really arrogant. Baomei came over and said a few words, and she started cursing."
"Let her go. Now she is a golden lady, so give in, otherwise you will be in trouble." Looking at the food on the tray, Xu Ruoshui suddenly felt that there was no taste, so she only drank a bowl of winter melon soup to relieve the heat.
"You might as well use more. When Mother Hu comes back tomorrow, she may not be able to eat good food." Yan'er advised.
"It's almost done. You can go out for a walk with me. It's boring to stay in the house all the time." Xu Ruoshui wiped the corners of her mouth and looked at the scorching sun outside. There was a place where she felt most comfortable.
Yan'er simply tidied up and took out an umbrella to cover up some of Xu Ruoshui's heat.
The greenhouse is located on a path among flowers. It is as big as two Ningxiang Halls. There are all kinds of flowers. Although the weather is hot, the greenhouse seems to exude a spring-like atmosphere. When you go in, you can see that there are flowers everywhere.
Put on ice.
Xu Ruoshui rarely comes here, and she accidentally learned that this is a flower house last time. There is nothing to do now, and it is not the place for the gardeners to attend to, so the maids are doing it in twos and threes, joking.
"Look, who is that person?" Someone noticed Xu Ruoshui, and everyone else turned their heads to look over.
"You can tell she's not a lady just by looking at her. Let's continue chatting." Someone else responded.
Yan'er immediately stamped her feet angrily and said at the top of her lungs, "The young lady is here, and you don't even say hello."
The maids immediately shut up. They looked at me and I looked at you, and then they stood up slowly, "The eldest mistress." They shouted weakly. Everyone had heard about the origin of this eldest mistress.
"I want to pick potted flowers to put in the house, but I don't know which one is suitable?" Xu Ruoshui did not use her status as the eldest mistress to order them. It was not easy to do the job, and there was no need to make it known to everyone.
A thin and shriveled little maid was pushed out. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at anyone. "I will take the young lady in to choose flowers." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the flower room. Xu Ruoshui followed, and she immediately felt many eyes following behind her.
, "The eldest mistress is just shabby, and her clothes are not as good as those of the new aunt in the second room."
"Isn't that right? It seems that I have to send potted flowers to my aunt when I have time." Someone had the idea of ​​flattering her.
Those voices gradually faded away. Xu Ruoshui had already reached the innermost part of the flower room. The little maid pointed at the flowers and introduced them one by one. Xu Ruoshui was not thinking about it at all. After listening for a long time, she said, "Is there a lame Li here?"
The little maid obviously didn't react, "Young mistress, you mean...?"
"Gardener Cripple Lee!"
"He? The eldest young lady is looking for him?" the little maid said in shock.
Xu Ruoshui only heard Xiao Shunzi talking about Cripple Li, and wondered if he was the one in the hands of the little maid, so she had to ask again, "How many people named Li are there in our greenhouse?"
"There are two, one male and one female."
"That's Uncle Li." Xu Ruoshui confirmed, "Is he here? They say he is very good at handling flowers and plants."
"The eldest young lady came late," the little maid said. "He left in the morning, saying that he was old and wanted to go back to his hometown to take care of himself."
Returning to your hometown? What a coincidence! Xu Ruoshui originally wanted to find the cripple Li to see if he could find out some clues to confirm whether Meng Tianqi was responsible, but it seemed that he came a step too late.
"In that case, help me pick out some flowers that I can grow better. It's a pity that I can't meet Uncle Li." Xu Ruoshui pretended to be nonchalant and then focused on the flowers.
