Huang Ru just watched the maid kowtow for a long while, and when she saw the blood stains on the blue tiles, she waved her hand lightly: "Get up. "
When the servant girl raised her head again, her face was covered with tears, and her forehead was cut open.
Huang Ru's eyes were cold: "Since you have heard everything, then tell me what you think."
The servant girl didn't know how to answer, so she could only lower her head and said aggrievedly: "I really didn't hear anything."
"Heck." Huang Ru put the teacup aside, and said in a neutral tone, "If you tell me, just say it."
Realizing that Madam was angry, the servant girl didn't dare to disobey, she hurriedly said after deliberation: "I feel that the two adults are looking for the guest surnamed Ji."
Huang Ru laughed, "Is it up to you to say that?"
The maid hurriedly kowtowed again, and the kowtow was as loud as before.
Huang Ru was a little bored: "Master Rong just mentioned what day, what silver, and he told the nanny, do you understand?"
When the servant girl heard this, she immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head.
Huang Ru was originally asking casually, but didn't expect to actually ask, so she raised her eyebrows and continued: "Did you know?"
"Slaves and servants don't know"
"Say!" Without giving her a chance to argue, Huang Ru ordered coldly.
The servant girl trembled, her whole body trembling: "I also heard what people said, ma'am, ma'am, please forgive me."
"Just say what you say. If what you say is true, your life will be saved. If you talk nonsense, then it will be fine."
"Everything my servant said is true, every sentence is true," the servant girl quickly assured, then gritted her teeth and blurted out: "Then that day and the money, if the servant guessed correctly, it should be"
"What should it be?"
"It's pay day and pay."
Huang Ru frowned. Although she didn't care about the family for a long time, she also knew that wages were paid on the third day of every month, which is not the days mentioned before.
Realized that Madam had misheard.
The maid explained again: "It's not the wages paid by the mansion, yes, it's extra wages. In the past, when the master was still there, he would give some people in the mansion some other wages."
Other wages
Huang Ru raised her eyebrows and suddenly realized something.
"say clearly."
The servant girl was very scared, but she couldn't stop talking at this point, so she said: "In the past, the master would give the meritorious servants in the mansion an extra amount of money, for example, he could tell the madam what she did every day, and what she said." What, if you convey it to the master, you will be given different money according to the size of the accident."
"Snapped!"
Huang Ru's face turned cold, and with a wave of her arm, she swung the teacup on the table to the ground, breaking it apart.
"Let's talk!" Huang Ru's tone was cold.
The servant girl said tremblingly: "The little girls in Madam's room can't tell Madam any secrets, they all get some small silver, but all the servants and servants know that nanny and nanny get a lot, but it's not just nanny According to the news of selling the wife, the nanny belongs to the master, and when the master goes out on weekdays, the nanny is always around the mansion.
"The most powerful one?" Before the servant girl could speak, Huang Ru's face turned livid.
Huang Ru never expected that she would even ask for such news!
For a long time, she didn't trust anyone in the mansion, but she believed in a nanny, but she didn't realize it, she was confused and stupid.
The nanny had already been bought by Huang Jueyang, and she became the most capable person under him.
Irony, really great irony!
There are hundreds of taels of silver every month. What kind of merit is done to give so much!
Almost equal to a small shop's monthly income!
Huang Ru took a deep breath and managed to stabilize herself, so angry that she couldn't breathe.
She is not so stupid to go to war for such a person and hurt herself.
After taking a breath, looking at the maid kneeling on the ground, Huang Ru asked, "What's your name?"
The servant girl replied honestly: "My maidservant Chunxi."
"Chunxi" chewed on this somewhat familiar name, but Huang Ru couldn't remember it.
Chunxi hesitated for a moment, and still reported her family name: "This servant also served Madam before. Before Madam got married, Madam's older sister, Chun Huan, was also with Madam."
If others say that Huang Ru doesn't remember it yet, when they talk about Chunhuan, Huang Ru remembers it.
Chun Huan was Huang Ru's former girl, and she was chosen by her mother as her close personal partner before her mother passed away. It's a pity that Chun Huan is rigid and unreasonable, and the few days she was with her caused complaints from people around her.
Later, when Huang Ru got married, she searched for it and gave Chun Huan the house for her husband. After all, although Chun Huan was cold-tempered, she had a heart for her master.
However, Huang Jueyang didn't like this cold girl, so the house was confiscated in the end. Two years later, when Chunhuan reached her age, Huang Ru made the decision. Originally, she wanted to promise her a shopkeeper or something, but Chunhuan didn't want to. In the end, it was with her brother from a fellow countryman.
Over the past few years, I have already returned to my hometown, and I haven't seen him for many years.
As soon as Chunhuan was mentioned, Huang Ru's face softened a lot. Just now she knew that the nanny was actually Huang Jueyang's, and then mentioned the girl who had been loyal to her, Huang Ru came forward in one breath, and then looked at Chunxi's expression , and slightly wider.
"I remember that Chunhuan has a younger sister who is seven or eight years younger. Did Chunhuan lead you into the mansion?"
Chunxi nodded quickly: "Yes, the maidservant has been in the mansion since she was seven years old. She used to do third-class sweeping in the madam's yard. Later, the master changed people around the madam, and the servant girl was assigned to another courtyard. This time, the madam cleaned up the house." It was only after some people around that they called the slaves back.
Huang Ru looked at Chunxi for a while, and asked, "Which yard did you go to before?"
"It's Xiaoxi Courtyard." The Xiaoxi Courtyard is almost an idle yard. There are no guests in the mansion on weekdays, so you can't do much. You are idle, dodging lazy all day long, sweeping the yard, and a month's wages are in your pocket.
The maids in the mansion had no ambitions, and all wanted to go to the small west courtyard.
That place is suitable for old people and those who are waiting to be married. There are no big winds and waves, and they want to be leisurely and leisurely on weekdays.
Chunxi lived in the small west courtyard for a few years, and lived a happy and carefree life. Here, Chunhuan probably helped her, or some people took advantage of Chunhuan's face.
After all, Chun Huan entered the mansion at the age of ten, but from the age of eleven, she was raised by her mother. It was not until she was married that her mother ordered her to take care of herself.
Thinking of the relationship above, Huang Ru looked at Chunxi again, her eyes became softer.
"Since she is Chunhuan's younger sister, she will stay by my side from now on."
After hearing this, Chunxi made sure that he would not be silenced by his wife, and secondly, he was also happy that he was able to board the big ship of his wife.
You know, the people living in Xiaoxi Courtyard are the most capable and see-through people in the mansion. She has been in Xiaoxi Courtyard for so many years, and she seems to live in seclusion, but in fact, all the people in the mansion, inside and outside, are just Nothing she doesn't know.
Take the matter of the nanny as an example, even the other girls who work for the master may not all know that the nanny has already taken refuge in the master.
But Chunxi, the other maids and sisters in Xiaoxiyuan, who are in charge of the mother, have already known it clearly, and relying on this knowledge, Chunxi is not so shy about coming to Madam's side to serve her again.
Chunxi knew that with her intelligence, it would not be too difficult to gain a firm foothold.
Look, now she has at least won the madam's favor. I believe that in time, her future will only go up and down.
At the same time, thinking of her sister's letter a few days ago, Chunxi's eyes became more serious.
Sister Chunhuan, I don't have any correspondence with her on weekdays, only during the New Year's Eve, I will ask someone to send me a message, say a few words of my own, and then send some special products from my hometown.
But this time, my sister suddenly sent a letter, and the letter also mentioned that if there is a chance to go to Madam's side, she must not covet the enjoyment of Xiaoxiyuan and refuse to go out, but must fight for a place and come to Madam.
At that time, Chunxi still didn't understand why her sister suddenly said such a word, and even less understood how it was possible for her to enter Madam's side in this iron barrel-like inner courtyard under the master's control.
Unexpectedly, after only two days, the news of Master's death spread, and then Madam began to recruit people from other yards.
Although Chunxi was surprised by her sister's letter, whether it was a coincidence or a prophet, she followed her sister's order and went to his wife's side.
Right now, Madam is interested in her, so she is not in vain.
Thinking of how many good days there will be in the future, Chun Xi couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart. At the same time, she wondered, and returned a letter to her sister in two days, asking her how she could stabilize herself in the main courtyard as soon as possible.
And just when Chunxi's heart was turning a thousand times.
Not far away, in Huang Lin's room, Huang Lin had already taken out a cowhide roll from under his mattress.
He unrolled the cowhide roll and pushed it to the table for Rong Leng and Liu Wei to see.
Rong Leng glanced lightly, and Liu Wei also looked over. When they saw the red rubbing on it, their pupils blinked.
"This is..." Liu Wei picked up the cowhide roll, looked at it for a while, and then suddenly looked at Huang Lin again.
Huang Lin pursed his lips and nodded: "It's on me, I rubbed it myself."
Liu Wei looked at Huang Lin.
Rong Ling's eyes are also a little dark.
Huang Lindao: "I tried it last night. There are indeed many lines on my body. I don't know what it is, but looking at it, it looks like a picture, but it doesn't appear on weekdays. This may have something to do with the branding tool. Related, I don’t know what kind of knife carved it on my body. There are no scars or traces. Only when colored things are stained will there be stripes. I painted pig blood on my body last night. It took a night of rubbing with a cowhide roll, and then all the rubbings were done, this is it, if you don’t believe me, I can take off my clothes, and you can compare them one by one.” He said, and really started to untie his belt.
Liu Wei pressed his hand and didn't let him move, but asked, "Why did you do that?"
Huang Lin looked at her and said, "Don't you want it?"
"Don't you think this thing is weird?"
Huang Lin nodded: "It's weird."
He said again: "Although I don't know who carved this thing on my body and when it was carved, since this thing is here, it is God's will. I borrow flowers to present Buddha, and I have the right to thank you two adults."
Liu Wei held the cowhide roll and looked at Rong Leng.
Rong Leng was silent for a while, and said, "I'll do it when I get back to Beijing."
Liu Wei smiled and nodded!
