Others didn't pay attention to Hongyu, but Ye Qingning saw at a glance that there was an angry-faced maid next to Ye Qinglan. She seemed to be called Hong.
It's strange, why did Tenth Sister suddenly bring this maid out? Moreover, this maid's eyes were flickering and her eyes were wandering around. One glance showed that she was not a peaceful master...
According to Ye Qingning's temperament, she has always been too lazy to care about such trivial matters. But now that the relationship between the two is so close, and she has such an important thing to ask Ye Qinglan... she might as well ask.
"Ten sisters," Ye Qingning asked in a low voice, "Why did you bring this maid out today?"
Ye Qinglan responded in the same low voice: "I have something to ask you!"
Ye Qingning raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked silently.
Ye Qinglan came closer without leaving a trace and whispered a few words: "This ruby was left to me when my mother left. It doesn't suit my liking. So, I want to report to my grandmother and transfer her to another yard.
Go inside. When I open my mouth later, please ask Sixth Sister to help me."
Although the words were spoken vaguely, Ye Qingning understood them immediately and nodded in agreement without thinking.
Mrs. Xue left such a spy beside Ye Qinglan before she left. No wonder Ye Qinglan didn't like the red jade. She was just a maid, so it wouldn't be a big deal to drive her away.
Seeing Ye Qingning's willingness to agree, Ye Qinglan felt relieved.
Mrs. Zheng was talking to Ms. Jiang about Ye Qinglan going to stay for a few days at Duke Dingguo's Mansion: "... Xiyu and Sister Lan got along very well, so my sister wanted to invite Sister Lan to stay for a few days.
I didn't dare to agree immediately, I wanted to discuss it with you..."
Jiang was obviously a little surprised, but she still agreed immediately: "This is also a good thing. Since it is a special invitation, let Sister Lan and Sister Ning go there early."
Mrs. Zheng coughed and laughed: "This time, Sister Lan will go to Duke Dingguo's mansion, and Sister Ning will not go."
Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment. Mrs. Zheng is Ye Qingning's biological aunt. Why did she only invite Sister Lan as a guest but leave out Sister Ning? This is really unreasonable!
Mrs. Li interrupted with a smile: "Sister-in-law does something unexpected. Why do you let Sister Lan go to the Dingguo Palace alone? She is weak and young. What if there is no older and more stable person to take care of her? According to me
Look, it’s better to let Rou’er and Sister Ning go with her so that they can take care of each other.”
After all, I just wanted Ye Qingrou to go with me.
Zheng sneered secretly in her heart, but smiled calmly on her face and said: "That's what I originally planned. But then I thought about it, Xiyu has a withdrawn personality and doesn't like being around people. If they all followed, it would only cause more trouble for them. Simply
Just let Sister Lan go alone. Although Sister Lan is younger, she is more steady in words and deeds than the two elder sisters. If she only stays for a few days and comes back, nothing will go wrong."
Zheng's attitude was so clear that Li couldn't say any more. She smiled and stopped. Even Ye Qingning didn't follow, so Ye Qingrou naturally had no chance.
Mrs. Jiang was deep in thought. She did not say anything about this, but instead gave Ye Qinglan a few words of earnest advice. It was nothing more than being careful about your words and deeds when visiting someone else's house. Ye Qinglan responded respectfully, and then made another statement.
He looked like he was about to speak but hesitated.
Seeing that she looked hesitant as if she had something to say, Mrs. Jiang asked casually: "Do you have something to say? There are no outsiders here, so just say whatever you want. If you are missing some clothes or jewelry, just open your mouth." After all, we are here.
Being a guest at Duke Dingguo's house shouldn't be too shabby.
Only then did Ye Qinglan make up her mind. She stood up and said, "Return to my grandmother, I do have something to ask for." As he said that, he pointed at Hongyu who was standing behind him: "This maid is called Hongyu. She was originally kept by my mother to serve her before she left.
Mine. However, I feel that the manpower around me is enough, so I would like to ask my grandmother to take the decision to transfer this ruby to another yard."
Everyone's eyes turned to Hong Yu. Hong Yu could only take a few steps forward and knelt down.
Although Ye Qinglan said it euphemistically and implicitly, there was no one present who was not Linglong's sweetheart, and they knew what was going on as soon as they heard it. Obviously, this Hongyu was Xue's confidant, and relying on Xue's support, he did not take Ye Qinglan as his master seriously.
.Ye Qinglan couldn't bear it anymore, so she begged Jiang to drop her ruby hair in another yard.
With Jiang coming forward, even if Xue knows about this in the future, it will be hard for him to get angry over it.
Jiang's eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced at Ye Qinglan. This girl looked tame and modest, but she didn't expect to be so smart, and actually came to her in a confident and upright manner. Even if she didn't want to ask, she couldn't ignore it now...
Mrs. Zheng didn't know what she was thinking and didn't say anything. The atmosphere in the room was quite subtle.
Ye Qingning broke the silence with a smile: "I thought it was a big deal, but she is just an insignificant maid. If the tenth sister doesn't want it, just give it to me."
Mrs. Zheng frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "What you said is very light. Hongyu is the maid next to your third aunt. Even if you want to be embarrassed, you should tell your third aunt. Otherwise, your third aunt will blame you if she finds out.
Already."
This is indeed a concern. But if Mrs. Zheng is willing to come forward, how can Mrs. Xue fall out with her over a mere ruby? In the final analysis, it is just an excuse for Mrs. Zheng to not want to interfere with this business.
Ye Qingning said coquettishly: "It's just a maid. If I ask for it, will Third Aunt still argue with me? At worst, I'll just give another one back to Tenth Sister."
Ye Qinglan glanced at Ye Qingning gratefully. At the critical moment, Ye Qingning was quite loyal. Everyone in the room was watching the fun, but she was the only one willing to intercede for herself.
Jiang took advantage of the situation and smiled: "It's rare for Sister Ning to have such a heart."
Zheng had no choice but to smile, and the matter was settled.
Thinking of Ye Qingning's reckless handling of this troublesome matter, Mrs. Zheng felt a headache. It was indeed not a big deal for a maid, but this was the matter of the third bedroom, and it was unreasonable for the elder to interfere like this.
Later, when Mr. Xue found out, there was inevitably a lot of arguing.
I really don’t know what tricks this girl Ye Qinglan used to coax Ye Qingning to focus on her!
After chatting for a few words, everyone left the Changhe Hall.
Li and Zheng walked side by side and said with a deliberate smile: "Sister Ning is so generous and kind to Sister Lan." At first glance, this sounded like a compliment, but when you taste it carefully, it's not like that.
That's it. It's obviously an allusion to Ye Qingning who was stupidly used as a shield without knowing it.
How could Mrs. Zheng not hear it? She smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's rare that the two of them have such a good relationship, so I had to follow her." There were only three girls of the same age. Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan had a good relationship, so they naturally gave Ye Qingrou to her.
Put aside.
Mr. Li smiled.
Although Mrs. Zheng had the upper hand verbally, she was feeling sulky in her heart. She couldn't get angry in front of Ye Qinglan, but she called Ye Qingning behind her back and scolded her.
"What kind of soup have you drunk today? It's hard to think about it. How can you agree to this kind of thing easily? You have good intentions, but have you ever thought about what Sister Lan is thinking about?
"
Ye Qingning said disapprovingly: "Mom, you are making too much of a fuss. It's just a trivial matter. It's just a small effort. It's just a help for the tenth sister. What's the matter? The one named Hongyu, relying on the third aunt, never puts the tenth sister in
Under her eyes, she often behaves wantonly. Such a maid who has no respect for her will have to be punished in my hands to make her submissive."
Come on, what she just said was in vain.
Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes at Ye Qingning angrily: "Yes, yes, it's up to you to show your loyalty! If anything happens in the future, don't come to beg me."
Ye Qingning didn't like the coquettish and soft-spoken approach to begging. Hearing this, his pretty face tightened impatiently: "If you don't ask, don't ask. I don't believe it. How much trouble can a maid create? If the third aunt wants to
Blame, just let her blame me alone."
Mrs. Zheng was both angry and funny, and sighed: "You, you, you and Sister Rou used to be noisy and quarrelsome when we were together every day, and we couldn't get along. Why do you think of Sister Lan as your treasure now?"
"
Ye Qingning snorted lightly and said willfully: "I just like the tenth sister but not the eighth sister, so what?"
Mrs. Zheng laughed out of anger at her and simply waved her hand: "Come on, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Just get close to whoever you like."
Ye Qingning had the upper hand and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Of course she has some selfish motives for doing this today. She has done Ye Qinglan such a big favor, and Ye Qinglan will definitely "repay the favor" and do his best to plan "that thing" for her. Moreover, taking this opportunity
It would not be conspicuous to send his trusted maid to Ye Qinglan. It would also be convenient to convey news in the future, wouldn't it?
Thinking of this, Ye Qingning's mood suddenly improved. First, he asked his mother in charge to take Hongyu down for "training", and then discussed the candidate with Zhixia: "...We have to choose someone who is loyal, reliable and smart."
There are more than a dozen maids, big and small, in Huancui Pavilion. It is not difficult to choose such a maid.
Zhixia thought for a while and said with a smile: "Otherwise, let Ying'er serve at Miss Ten's side!"
Ying'er is only thirteen years old, but she has already become a second-class maid. She is a son of the family in the house. She is smart and smart. She has no problem with her loyalty, so she is a perfect fit.
Ye Qingning thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
When Ying'er heard that she was going to the Hefeng Courtyard to serve Ye Qinglan, she was naturally reluctant.
Although Miss Ten is good-tempered and easy-going, she is far inferior to Miss Six. As a maid, the most important thing is to follow the right master. She originally had a bright future, but now she has gone to Hefengyuan. What's going on?
Zhixia knew her thoughts very well, so she quietly pulled her aside and whispered a few words.
Ying'er's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
