This time the New Year gifts from Hebei, in addition to those from the public school, the old lady and Yuchen also have gifts. The old lady's is a longevity cane, using a very rare precious wood, this wood is only available in Chengde, Hebei. Its wood is white and flawless, as delicate as jade, and has the reputation of false ivory.
What Yuchen got was also a hanging screen with carved wood carvings of flowers and birds. The flowers and birds on this hanging screen looked like they were alive, and the carvings were extremely delicate.
Yuchen liked this thing very much, not only was it ingenious, but more importantly, it was given by her father. In recent years, there will be gifts to be received at Yuchen every New Year's Day, as well as on birthdays. Yuchen would hang it every time he got something, and this time was no exception.
Yuxi has Hongshan, an ear-reporting god, and he is very clear about the major events of the mansion. So Yuchen got a hang-up screen, she soon knew.
Hong Shan originally didn't want to say, the third girl got a gift from the master, but her girl didn't have anything, and the girl knew that she would be uncomfortable. It's just that Yuxi wanted to ask, but it didn't work.
In the previous life, Yuxi had been sad about this for a long time, but now she didn't care at all: "There are no rare things in the capital. As long as you have money, you can buy them. Just talk about it in front of me."
Hongshan looked at Yuxi carefully and found that she was not sad, and said boldly: "Girl, I don’t mean the master, but the third lady." Hongshan hoped that Yuxi would not resent the third master. After all, the third master is a real father, and her own girl will depend on her father in the future.
Yuxi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who meant it. Apart from this, are there other things in the mansion these past two days?"
Hong Shan shook her head and said, "The mansion was calm and there was nothing during this time."
After hearing this, Yuxi didn't react, and turned around to look at her chess record again. Nowadays, Yuxi reads chess records whenever he has time, and plays chess while watching them. According to Mo Ju and the others, their girl has become a fan.
Mother Shen watched Hongshan walk out of the house, and asked in a low voice, "Did the girl say anything?"
Hongshan knew that if she said that the girl didn't care about hanging up the screen, Shen's mother would definitely tell the old lady about it. I don't know why, Hong Shan has a feeling that the girl doesn't show anything on her face, but she knows what they are doing in her heart. Hongshan subconsciously didn't tell the truth: "The girl is very sad, saying she wants to be alone for a while and doesn't want to be disturbed."
Mother Shen was a little skeptical, and asked, "Really?"
Hong Shan cursed inwardly, this kind of unthankful thing made her rush forward. If the old lady punishes the girl, then the responsibility will be pushed on her, this Granny Shen is really good. However, Hongshan didn't dare to offend Granny Shen, and said with a smile, "What did I lie to my mother for?"
Shen's mother was dubious, but when she saw Yuxi's eyes flushed and her face was not good, she believed Hongshan's words.
Yuxi looked at her mother Shen's feeling a little bit uneasy. She really doesn't understand what the old lady thinks? Could it be that she is afraid that she will retaliate for the doctor’s affairs. If she does not have this ability, she will not be able to retaliate because of her filial piety: "Hongshan, let your brother send a letter to Fang’s mother, so it’s convenient. Please come to Qianjin Mansion during the Chinese New Year." She wants to tell Mama Fang about something. I’ve been busy before, but Mr. will be on vacation these two days, and she will be able to relax for a while.
Hong Shan responded crisply: "Okay."
The buns made by Fang's mother are very popular, and the supply exceeds demand. If the business is good, the income is naturally high. After deducting various expenses, the Baozi shop has a net profit of more than 30 taels per month. This number is pretty good in Shangyuan Street. Fortunately, people on Shangyuan Street knew that the owner of this bun shop belonged to the Guogong Mansion, and no one dared to make an idea, otherwise there would be trouble.
The bun shop is profitable, and Yuxi naturally has a lot of money. The maid beside her is the direct beneficiary.
Shen's mother opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. She has been serving the girl for more than half a year, but the girl is still very defensive towards her. Shen's mother is not stupid, she knows what the girl is guarding against, but this is all ordered by the old lady, she can't resist. So the girl's attitude towards her is not cold or cold, and she can only bear it.
In winter, it gets dark fast.
Hong Shan watched Mother Shen leave the Rose Garden before entering the house, and said to Yuxi who was writing, "Girl, the servant has a few words to say."
Yuxi put down the brush and said, "You have anything to say."
Hongshan respectfully said: "The slave girl knows that the girl has the fortune. There are some things that the girl still needs to worry about." Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Hongshan said directly: "It's like today, the girl is to the master. It is too indifferent to only give gifts to the third girl but not to you. If you let the old lady know, you will definitely be unhappy. "Indifferent, it means that there is no expectation for your father. What fell in the eyes of the old lady was that the girl was dissatisfied with the third master, and she should be filial to her children. If a girl bears an unfilial reputation, not to mention that her future marriage will be difficult, even in the mansion.
Yuxi looked solemn and said, "What do you want to say? It's okay to just say it." Yuxi was worried that Hongshan was digging a hole for her, so she had to treat it with caution.
Hong Shan said: "Girl, the slave and maid said something beyond the limits. Even if the master is partial, the girl must be a filial child." Only a filial child can make people like and feel relieved.
Yuxi stared at Hongshan, as if she could stare out a hole: "I want to know why you want to say these things to me." If it is really digging a hole, it can only be said that Hongshan is too courageous, because of this. She has to fall into the pit if she is not careful.
Hong Shan raised her head and said: "I believe in girls." As for what she believes, she must know.
Yuxi looked at Hongshan unexpectedly, this was surrender.
Hong Shan was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she didn't regret the words just now. Some time ago it was her turn to take a vacation, and she told her father about the girl's recent performance. Her father said that the fourth girl would not be as good as the third girl in the future, but it would certainly not be bad in the future. Her father asked her to wait for the girl to be taken by Mr. Song wholeheartedly.
Hongshan considered it for a long time, and finally stated her position before Mr. Song accepted the girl. Otherwise, when the girl pays her respects at Mr. Song's door, everyone will know that the girl's future is not bad, and surrender at that time will definitely not be reused by the girl. Not being reused, and contrary to the old lady's will, that's not worthwhile.
Yuxi said sternly: "Your father is the second housekeeper, even if you don't rely on me, you can find a good way out in the future. Tell me, why are you doing this? I want to listen to the truth."
Since Hongshan has made up his mind to take this path, she will not have any more room: "Girl, I originally wanted to serve a girl for five or six years. At that time, I was seventeen or eighteen, and I had reached the age of marriage. If you go outside, you will have a good life.” Hongshan said that she would marry outside, which means to marry a good man and become a maid, so that she can get rid of the fate of being a slave and a maidservant.
Yuxi asked, "What happened?" Hongshan suddenly changed her mind. It must have happened, and it must be a major event.
Hongshan's eyes are red: "I have a cousin who has served the old lady before. A few years ago, I let go to marry a scholar. In the autumn of this year, my cousin-in-law was hit by Juren, and their family began to despise my cousin. I used to be a maid and felt that it was damaging her family’s reputation. A few days ago, he said he was going to leave my cousin. Life is very difficult." Hongshan has a good relationship with her cousin, and her hair is cold when she sees her cousin becoming haggard in just a few months.
Yuxi asked calmly: "You are afraid that you will fall into the same situation as your cousin, so you don't want to marry out? You want to marry back in the house?"
Hongshan directly said what she said in her heart: "The people in the mansion are the same, they will definitely not dislike my identity. And the people in the mansion know the bottom line, don't worry about being deceived." Her cousin used to be loyal and honest. Otherwise, her sister would not choose that person. It can only be said that the person pretended to be so good that their whole family was distracted. But looking in the mansion, there is no such worry. After all, in the same mansion, it's okay to inquire about a person's details.
This incident dealt a big blow to Hong Shan, making her reluctant to remarry outside.
Yuxi didn't respond to Hongshan directly, but asked a question: "What's the matter with the copybook?" It's definitely not a stupid person to be able to climb the second-class maid in the upper court. But about the copybook, Hong Shan was stupid, telling her non-brained words. At that time, Yuxi felt weird, but she didn't ask much.
Hong Shan knelt on the ground and said with a pale face: "Mother Shen asked me to tell her every move of the girl. I don't want to do such a thing. It happened that sister Zi Yi came over to me and talked about the copybook." Hong Shan did this. I want Yuxi to alienate her and prevent her from being close to serve, so that she knows less about Yuxi, and there is nothing to report to Mother Shen.
Yuxi was stunned, and sure enough, there was a reason: "Are you not afraid that I won't be able to give you a good future?"
Hong Shan had already given up her mind and said, "That's my life." In fact, it can be seen from Fang's mother that as long as she treats the girl wholeheartedly, the girl will definitely not leave her alone.
It is extremely cost-effective for her to have Hongshan's loyalty. Yuxi said, "As long as you can do it, I won't let you fall into the situation like your cousin."
Hong Shan returned to her belly with a heart. What happened to her cousin chilled her, and it also made her afraid to marry outside. And if she marries in the mansion, she must find a backer. Although her father is a second housekeeper, he is old, and her two brothers are not clever people, and will not be able to take care of her father's errands in the future. Without a strong backing, the future will be just as sad. This is also the real reason why she surrendered to Yuxi. For the future, Hongshan decided to take a gamble. As for winning or losing, time has to prove.
