"Are the two ladies still chatting?" Ruixue asked in a low voice.
Zhixia responded with a smile: "Yes, Ying'er and I have been waiting here for more than an hour. We don't have the guts to go in and hurry. Do you have something to report to Miss Ten? Or just knock on the door."
If it were in the past, Ruixue would never have nodded, but now she actually responded: "Well, it's getting late, and it's time for the young lady to go back and rest."
Where is the rest? It is clear that I have something important to see Ye Qinglan. But I don’t want others to know!
Zhixia secretly guessed in her heart, but nodded calmly on her face. She walked forward and knocked lightly on the door. Ye Qingning's slightly unhappy voice came out: "Don't you know that Shi Mei and I are talking? What's the matter?
Something important?"
Zhixia had long been accustomed to Ye Qingning's bad temper. She smiled and said, "Miss, please calm down. It's getting late. Ruixue wants to ask, when does Miss Ten plan to go back to rest?"
Ye Qingning frowned and was about to say something, but Ye Qinglan's voice rang out: "Tell Ruixue, I will go back." Then he smiled and said to Ye Qingning: "Today, I will delay the sixth sister's rest.
I’m tired too. If you have anything to say, we’ll talk about it later tomorrow.”
Ye Qingning then remembered that Ye Qinglan had just returned home today and must have been tired and tired, but he kept talking to her. He felt a rare feeling of distress in his heart and said hurriedly: "That's fine, I'll ask Zhixia to take you back."
Ye Qinglan stood up with a smile and walked out of the room. She saw Ruixue at a glance.
Although Ruixue tried to remain calm, the uneasiness in her eyes could not be hidden from Ye Qinglan. What happened? Ruixue came to urge her to go back?
Ye Qinglan was thinking secretly in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face. She said goodbye to Ye Qingning with a smile, and then led Rui Xueying'er out of Huancui Pavilion. Zhixia saw each other off attentively all the way, and then turned back when they arrived at Hefeng Courtyard.
Ye Qinglan casually made an excuse to send Ying'er away: "Go to the kitchen and boil some hot water. I'm going to take a shower later." Ying'er stepped back and closed the door.
Ruixue and Ye Qinglan were the only two people left in the room.
Ye Qinglan glanced at Ruixue: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Ruixue did not beat around the bush and whispered: "Hong Luan came back from Hong Yu's place before. The slave girl saw something wrong with her face, so she quietly asked her what was going on. Listen to what she said. Hong Yu secretly asked someone to send a letter to Zhengzhou a few days ago.
I'm gone. I'm afraid..." After a pause, he sighed: "My wife has received her letter now."
After Hongyu was driven to Huancui Pavilion, she really suffered a lot. She used to serve Mr.
Hong Yu could not bear such menial work. Then she was ridiculed and ridiculed by other maids, and her life was miserable. This resentment was naturally recorded on Ye Qinglan's head.
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed slightly. As expected, this Hongyu had no time to calm down. She secretly sent a letter to Xue to accuse her when she was not in the house. However, if Hongyu thought that Xue would rush back to support her,
But I made the wrong calculation.
Ms. Xue wished that Ye Yuanzhou could stay away from her. How could she return to the capital for such a trivial matter?
Seeing that Ye Qinglan was noncommittal, Ruixue hurriedly whispered: "How about I go find Hongyu tomorrow..."
"No need." Ye Qinglan said lightly: "Just let Hongyu do it. Mother will never come back."
Ruixue did not expect Ye Qinglan to react like this. She was stunned for a moment: "But, what if the wife comes back?" At that time, not only would Ye Qinglan be in trouble, but they, the personal maids, would be the first to bear the brunt.
Suffer...
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you won't be wronged." Ye Qinglan saw through Ruixue's little thoughts at a glance: "If mother really comes back, I will handle everything."
Her tone was gentle and calm.
Ruixue suddenly felt a little ashamed under Ye Qinglan's clear gaze, and explained in a clear voice: "Miss, this is not what I mean..."
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "Okay. I know you are loyal, but you are worried that I will suffer a loss. Don't worry. Hongyu's tricks can't do anything to me. Even if my mother comes back, I will have my own countermeasures."
Everyone has selfish motives, and it is inevitable that Ruixue would be worried about Hongyu's complaint. She would not get angry because of such a trivial matter.
Ruixue smiled and then stopped talking.
After taking a bath, Ye Qinglan felt that her whole body felt refreshed and relaxed. She lay lazily on the bedside and read a book casually for a while. She felt sleepy gradually and fell asleep in a daze.
The moment before going to bed, a thought passed through Ye Qinglan's mind. It is indeed the most comfortable to live in your own home!
The next morning, Hong Luan came into the house early to wait for Ye Qinglan to wash up. She seemed to want to say something, but she hesitated.
Ye Qinglan smiled casually and said, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Hong Luan smiled and said: "I can't hide anything from the young lady. I really have something to report to the young lady. After I came back yesterday, I had nothing to do, so I went to visit Hong Yu." As he spoke, he carefully looked at Ye Qinglan's face, lest Ye Qinglan
angry.
Ye Qinglan's expression was very calm, and she said calmly: "Do you want to tell me about Hongyu secretly sending someone to deliver a letter to Zhengzhou? Ruixue already told me last night."
Hong Luan actually had some plans and refused to report it herself, but she told Ruixue about the matter first. Even if she got angry, it would not affect Hong Luan. When she reported it again this morning, she showed her loyalty again.
Being able to work as a second-class maid next to Mrs.
Under Ye Qinglan's insightful gaze, Hong Luan explained with some embarrassment: "Both slave and Hongyu have served my wife before and are familiar with her. Therefore, Hongyu will not shy away from telling these things to slave
"I want to report this to the young lady, but..." I really felt sorry for Hongyu by doing this, so I had to report the matter through Ruixue's mouth.
Ye Qinglan smiled and said gently: "You have your difficulties, and I won't blame you. However, if you encounter such a thing next time, you might as well take the initiative to report it to me." It's best not to be a faggot.
idea.
Hongluan was also a smart maid, how could she not hear the warning hidden in Ye Qinglan's gentle tone. She responded with a smile.
Ye Qinglan caught sight of Hongluan's flickering eyes in the mirror and sighed secretly.
The four maids around her have very different personalities.
Ruixue is calm and attentive, steady in her work, and quite loyal to her. However, she has many selfish calculations. She values Ruixue, but does not completely trust her. Ying'er is smart, well-behaved, good at coping, and very lovable. However, she
It was borrowed from Ye Qingning, and it would have to be "returned" sooner or later, let's not worry about it for the moment. Hongluan was never lazy in doing things, and he looked very honest, but in fact he was not very loyal at all. He couldn't withstand the test at all.
Guiyuan is the most upright and honest, with pure enthusiasm. To be honest, her favorite maid is Guiyuan. Unfortunately, compared to the other three maids, Guiyuan is a little less tactful and clever. She can still handle small things, a little
I can't handle larger scenes.
As expected, no one is perfect. Everyone has shortcomings of one kind or another. We can only look for suitable opportunities and slowly improve them.
Seeing that Ye Qinglan didn't speak for a long time, Hongluan's heart suddenly lifted.
Miss Ten is actually a very easy-to-serve master, with a gentle and kind temperament, and never loses her temper with the maids. But for some reason, Hong Luan is always a little afraid of her. Probably because of the arrogant Hong Yu quilt.
It must be because the treatment was very miserable! While Hong Luan was secretly glad that she had escaped the disaster, she could not help but feel a bit sad. She did not dare to underestimate her master Ye Qinglan...
At this moment, Guiyuan came in with a smile on his face, holding a hot medicine bowl in his hand. He had three meals a day, rain or shine. Even during the many days he was a guest at Duke Dingguo's mansion, he didn't miss a single meal.
Ye Qinglan's scalp felt numb after drinking the medicine, and she reflexively wanted to vomit when she saw the medicine bowl. But when she thought of Guiyuan's straightforward character, she had no choice but to take the medicine bowl, hold her nose and sip the medicine.
The familiar bitter taste quickly spread in the mouth and was bitter in the heart.
When she thought of taking the medicine for several more months, Ye Qinglan had the urge to scream to the sky and beat her chest and feet. At that time, it was not good to make up any excuses and she had to pretend to be sick. Now she is better, and she has to hold her nose and drink this medicine every day.
A painful medicine...
Ye Qinglan's pretty, bitter face wrinkled into a ball, which was both childish and cute.
Hongluan and Guiyuan looked at each other and held back their laughter. Ye Qinglan always spoke and acted with a calm demeanor beyond her years, making people unconsciously forget that she was actually just a twelve-year-old girl. She probably only drank medicine.
Only at this time will some childishness come out. It also makes the maids feel that the young lady at this time is the cutest and most pitiful.
Ye Qinglan finally forced herself to drink up the whole bowl of medicine, but felt a lingering bitter taste all over her body. She couldn't help but lower her head and smell it, and muttered: "I'm almost like a jar of medicine."
Guiyuan burst into laughter, and Hongluan couldn't help laughing.
Ruixue and Ying'er heard the laughter in the room and couldn't help but come over. Ying'er boldly joked: "Is there anything funny? Did the young lady complain that she smells like medicine again?"
This time, even Ye Qinglan was amused.
A few rays of sunlight shine into the house, illuminating the clean, tidy and warm room. The masters and servants are laughing and chatting constantly, and even the air is filled with a pleasant relaxation. Compared with the hard work in Dingguo's mansion, it is simply
Very relaxing and comfortable.
The next few days passed quietly in such a peaceful way.
Sister Qiao's first birthday party is coming soon. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
