In just a few days, Cheng Jiaoniang had three different girls here.
Except for the one who ran away with the Zhou family, the other two groups were all sold out.
The Cheng family is strict in running the family, has clear ancestral precepts, and is forgiving to its servants. This kind of continuous selling of slaves rarely happens once in several years. Unexpectedly, it happened twice in less than a month. The whole family was in a state of panic and caution.
The story of how these two groups of servants were sold spread quickly.
This is all related to the idiot in the second room of the Cheng family.
Other people's fools are ugly in appearance and don't know how to hit or scold others. However, this fool from the Cheng family was actually good at framing the servants, which shocked all the servant girls.
And the most important thing is that this fool can't be messed with because he has the support of his grandfather's family.
Suddenly going to work for the stupid Cheng family would not only result in being ostracized and suppressed, but also the risk of losing the future of the whole family.
"Sister, sister, you came early, we don't dare to go in and serve you."
"Sister, my sister is not weaned yet. If she is sold out, she will not survive."
Seeing the two new girls begging her with frightened expressions, the girl was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Actually, my wife is not like that..." she said.
That girl was sold out, but she was not wronged. She was the one who teased the lady first, so...
If I had done this to another woman, I would have been severely punished.
If it were any other lady, she wouldn't dare to lend this girl a hundred courages.
In the final analysis, this is just deceiving others and ultimately deceiving yourself.
However, how do fools know that they are being tricked?
Could it be that you are not stupid?
The girl was distracted for a moment.
"Sister, sister, you are a kind-hearted Bodhisattva, and our whole family depends on you." The two girls begged, holding the corners of their clothes.
The girl regained her composure and sighed.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to go into the house to do errands. Just clean up the pots and wash the stove. I'll take care of my wife," she said.
The two girls felt like they were being pardoned and thanked them profusely.
The girl turned around and entered the house.
The fool in the room who was first ridiculed and now shunned and feared was sitting quietly, flipping through the book in his hand as usual.
The girl poured a glass of water, knelt down and handed it over.
"Madam, drink some water," she said.
Cheng Jiaoniang hummed and reached out to take the water glass.
The girl looked at the book on the table. From the day she saw it until now, it was still the same page, which had not been turned.
The lady's slender white fingers pressed on a line of words, and there were already marks on it.
"Madam, do you want to take a break?" the girl asked again.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at her, shook her head, and stretched out her hand.
"Hel me up," she said.
The girl hurriedly reached out and stood up to help.
"I want to go for a walk." she said.
The girl responded and helped her walk to the corridor.
The girls who were talking together in the yard looked over when they heard the sound, and were stunned when they saw a woman wearing a plain skirt, a green satin dress, and loose black hair standing in the door of the hall.
When they realized who the woman was, they crowded into the kitchen with a coaxing sound. They only saw the woman's delicate and white face, but they didn't bother to look at her specific appearance, nor did they have the courage to look at it.
If she gets angry and says that she harmed her, wouldn't it be life-threatening?
The girl looked a little embarrassed looking at the suddenly quiet courtyard.
"They rushed to clean up the kitchen," she said.
Cheng Jiaoniang ignored it and raised her head slightly.
The sun is shining brightly, and the cicadas are swarming.
Cheng Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes.
The girl was a little at a loss and tentatively helped her go down.
"Bring me the power grass." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I can't bask in the sun, it will make me uncomfortable."
The girl screamed, with a bit of panic.
"I don't know, I'm sorry, ma'am," she said.
"It doesn't matter." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I tell you, you will know next time."
"Yes. I have taken note of it," the girl said happily. She hurriedly turned around and went in to get the power. She carefully brought it to Cheng Jiaoniang and then helped her out slowly.
"Oh, it scared me to death."
"Why is she out on such a hot day? She must have frightened many people."
The two girls poked their heads out of the kitchen, patted their hearts, and said with lingering fear on their faces.
Cheng Jiaoniang didn't go far, she just walked around her yard and finally stopped at the door.
"Do you want to go back?" The girl had been supporting her carefully, but when she saw that she wasn't leaving, she hurriedly asked.
"Yes." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The girl didn't dare to ask any more questions and helped her in. Naturally, the girls in the yard fled in panic.
From then on, Cheng Jiaoniang would go out for a walk every day. She would not go far away, only around the house. The girls gradually got used to it and no longer evaded in fear every time. Cheng Jiaoniang also gradually changed from walking around to
Walk two times and three times.
Half a month has passed, the hot summer has faded, and early autumn has arrived.
"Madam, are you tired? Let's take a rest?" the girl asked. She no longer needed to help Cheng Jiaoniang, but followed carefully behind her.
They had walked around three times, and Cheng Jiaoniang stood in front of the door, lifting the sides of her arms to reveal her face.
There were slight beads of sweat on the fine white skin.
"You're not tired, keep going." She said.
The girl responded and followed.
After four laps, Cheng Jiaoniang stopped. After all, she was tired and leaned on the girl.
"Madam, why are you doing this? Just take a rest when you are tired." The girl said.
After spending these days together, she unconsciously began to like this quiet lady.
Compared with serving other moody ladies in the family, this lady, although rumored to be scary, is actually much easier to serve, as long as you follow her direction.
Cheng Jiaoniang stopped and looked behind her.
"I'm not tired," she said.
She gets better day by day, although it is slow, but there are always rewards. I believe that if she continues to exercise like this, she will soon be able to move freely and achieve such results. She will not be tired after doing this.
The girl waited for a moment, but Cheng Jiaoniang didn't speak again. Knowing that this was the end of her answer, she hurriedly helped Cheng Jiaoniang go in.
Hot water has been prepared. Cheng Jiaoniang took a bath, changed into a clean skirt and blouse, and sat down. The girl helped her dry her hair while Cheng Jiaoniang continued to read.
Standing behind her, the girl saw Cheng Jiaoniang's left hand slowly moving on the line of characters, and her right hand slowly moving on the desk. After a moment, the two hands switched over and repeated the action.
Are you reading a book? It's really strange.
The room was very quiet, Cheng Jiaoniang just sat quietly, stroking and paddling over and over again.
The girl suddenly felt a little sad.
The lady rarely speaks. Except for necessary changes of clothes, eating, and drinking water, she basically doesn't speak.
The girl thought of Banqin. When Banqin was there, she and the servant girl heard the voices of the master and the servant from time to time in the yard. Of course, Banqin was the one talking most of the time.
Since Banqin left, Madam has become even quieter. She walks quietly around the yard in circles, and quietly sits in the house and moves her fingers over and over again.
Does she know that Banqin is gone?
Are you feeling sad?
"Madam, do you still remember Banqin?" the girl suddenly asked.
After I finished speaking, I was startled and a little scared.
It is said that fools cannot remember people.
Cheng Jiaoniang stopped.
"Remember." She said, her thin lips showing an arc that was not obvious but could be seen.
It made her whole face come alive.
The girl was stunned.
Is this a laugh?
Such a shallow smile can actually look so pretty.
But why are you laughing?
"Madam, then, you know her..." The girl turned around and stumbled.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded slightly.
She knew and remembered that the girl named Banqin followed someone else.
It was at that moment that she suddenly discovered that she could remember things.
So if I couldn't remember it before, was it because I was ill and couldn't remember it, or was it because I had someone to rely on that made me too lazy to remember it.
At that moment, she suddenly felt better.
In fact, she was not sick in the first place. Her brain was not sick, and her body was not sick either. She just had poor coordination.
Realizing this, Cheng Jiaoniang's body recovery speed was obviously accelerated, which was really a good thing, so how could she forget.
"Madam, when Banqin left, I kowtowed to you outside." Looking at Madam's calm face, the girl couldn't help but say.
Why did she say this? She wanted to comfort the lady. Didn't Banqin leave her without saying goodbye?
"Oh." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
A simple word, but no sound of joy or anger can be heard.
The girl suddenly felt relieved and knelt down beside her.
"Madam, I think..." She planned to say a little more, or make up something that Banqin said.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at her and smiled again.
"Thank you, but I'm not sad." She said, "She is the one who is sad." (To be continued)
