"I've met the old lady."
Xingfang kowtowed.
Mrs. Lu felt relieved, raised her head and said with the note:
"I originally wanted to reuse you, but a few days ago Shen Qingluan said that she liked your ability in work and specifically asked me to take you over. How about she didn't treat you harshly?"
In Mrs. Lu's heart, these servants and maids must be eager for people to go to higher places.
In the huge Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, she is the old lady and ancestor, and there is no better place in the courtyard than her Fushou Hall.
She deliberately said that Shen Qingluan forced Xingfang to come over, and these short-sighted maids must hate Shen Qingluan for blocking her future.
Lu's eyes were half closed, waiting for Xingfang to express her gratitude.
Sure enough, Xingfang blinked and said gratefully: "Madam did not treat the slave harshly. Madam praised the slave for cleaning the yard very clean every day."
Mr. Lu:......
She said unwillingly: "Shen Qingluan forced you out of my hands. If you stay in Fushouyuan, your future with me will be more than just sweeping the yard."
Xingfang twisted her fingers and said in a tangled tone: "You don't want me to sweep the yard? But I can't do anything else."
Lu's cheeks stiffened.
Wu Qiqi glared at Xingfang angrily, gritted her teeth and said:
"If you become the maid in my yard, do you still need to clean the yard and do other things? You only need to talk to me every day, which is easier than the young lady from a small family outside."
Xingfang thought seriously for a moment and said word by word: "This slave likes to sweep the floor."
Stupid, stupid!
Mrs. Lu was so angry that her temples hurt, so she simply refused to beat around the bush and said angrily:
"You come from my courtyard, so you should know how to be loyal to the master. I called you here today because my grandson-in-law has been too tired recently and her complexion is not good.
I have a spice. You can order it and give it to her to smell every day to help her replenish her qi and activate her blood so that she can give birth to a baby for her uncle as soon as possible. "
She motioned to Grandma Sun to stuff a paper package into Xingfang's hand, "This is not a big deal, so you don't need to say more. When she gets pregnant, she will come back to thank me."
Xingfang was grabbed by the hand by Grandma Sun, and there was no place to hide.
Mrs. Lu smiled, her voice full of bone-cutting cruelty: "Xingfang, your contract of sale is in my hand."
Xingfang paused in her refusal, raised her eyes, and looked at Mr. Lu pitifully and helplessly.
Mr. Lu looked kindly and said, "Go ahead, I know you are capable."
Xingfang didn't think clearly in her mind, but she was still horrified by her expression.
Give the lady some spice?
She wanted to say that Madam was upright and not on guard against her servants.
But not everyone can enter her house, at least, she, a cleaning girl, can't.
But, will the old lady listen to her?
She mechanically stuffed the paper bag into her chest and walked towards Hanguangyuan with heavy steps.
"Xingfang, what are you doing!"
Xingfang's whole body was filled with excitement.
"Cui Cui," she smiled subconsciously, "I, I will go to the latrine."
"You went to the latrine so lost? Did you throw your soul into the latrine? Eh, that's not right!"
Cuicui circled her with a suspicious expression.
"You don't smell like a latrine! What does it smell like? Why is it so weird! Tell me!"
Xingfang's whole back felt hairy for a moment.
She almost subconsciously wanted to reach out to cover the paper bag on her chest, but she held it back and gave a strange smile: "I'm going..."
"Cui Cui." Shen Qingluan came out of the house and walked slowly towards the courtyard door. He glanced at Xingfang and paused for a moment.
"The yard is very clean." She said softly.
Turning to Cuicui, she was a bit harsh, "Everyone has privacy. Once the work is done, there is no need to ask anyone else."
"lady……"
Xingfang's eyes were wet and red.
Shen Qingluan smiled tenderly at her and interrupted her: "I'm not in the house these days, and the yard needs your attention to clean it."
Xingfang nodded heavily, but stopped talking.
Shen Qingluan nodded, got into the carriage with the maids, and went out ahead of Jun Qian.
Jun Qian looked at her carriage that was gradually going away, holding the handkerchief bitterly, "You are already married and yet you are so unruly, running out all the time!"
Qingyun, who was serving her, also had an expression distorted with hatred, "If I get caught by the uncle one day, I will let her soak in the pig cage!"
Her tone was even more vicious than Jun Qian's.
It turned out that Jun Hongbai personally ordered her to be beaten because she made a mistake and contradicted Shen Qingluan, and then she was left in the yard and neglected, and almost died like this.
Later, Qingyu was stabbed to death by the Lu family. Jun Hongbai felt pity for this maid who had no body beside his daughter, so he specially asked someone to cure Qingyu and send him back to Shen Qingluan as an errand.
After this experience, Qingyu increasingly regarded Shen Qingluan as a thorn in his side and looked for opportunities to provoke Jun Qian all day long.
So much so that now, Jun Qian already hates and hates Shen Qingluan as an enemy in a sea of blood!
"How can this thief and adulterer be so flamboyant as a married woman? She also carries large and small bags, and I don't know which gold bricks were removed from the wall of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
When I marry a high-ranking man in the future, my father will definitely divorce her and make my aunt his official wife! "
The two of them cursed Shen Qingluan until the gate of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion was barely visible.
Jun Qian calmed down, reached out to touch the jewelry on her head, and got out of the carriage with her head held high...
On the other side, on the carriage, Cuicui looked puzzled, "Xingfang didn't feel right just now. Why didn't Madam let me ask her clearly?"
Shen Qingluan didn't even raise his eyelids, but still closed his eyes to rest, "Even you can see it, don't I know?"
Cuicui tightened her mouth angrily.
Shen Qingluan added: "She was a maid who fled from the south and was sold into the Duke's Mansion as a maid with a death deed. The deed fell into the hands of the old lady. If she has a ghost, where else could this ghost come from?"
Cuicui was about to explode with anger, "What! I thought she just stole something, but it turned out that she was ordered by the old lady to cause trouble around her!
No, park the car. I want to go back and ask the lady what I can't do to her! "
Shen Qingluan leaned against the car wall and ignored her.
To cause harm?
If it was just that simple, she wouldn't be so heartbroken.
She had an impression of the smell.
In her previous life, Jun Qian was seriously ill, and she took care of him with all her clothes on.
She had personally tasted every sip of the medicine, wrung out every piece of handkerchief with her own hands, and changed all of Jun Qian's clothes when they got wet.
Therefore, as soon as Xingfang appeared, she noticed that the smell on Xingfang was the same as the smell on Junqian's body when she was seriously ill in her previous life.
Only now did she understand that maybe her death in the previous life was not just due to Jun Qian's indifference and the chance coincidence in this house.
Everything was planned by others from the beginning.
The truth turned out to be even uglier than she thought...
She thought the mansion just stank of decay.
Unexpectedly, this house and the people in this house were more disgusting and vicious than she thought.
She didn't want to open her eyes. She was afraid that once she opened her eyes, the deep hatred in her eyes would no longer be hidden.
"Stop howling."
Zhuzhu couldn't stand it anymore, so she threw away the handkerchief and covered Cuicui's mouth vigorously.
This idiot, doesn't he seem to be sad when he doesn't see Madam?
It was a dull journey all the way to Shen's house.
Shen Shuzheng returned home with several elders of the Shen clan. When they saw Shen Qingluan's carriage, the spring breeze greeted him proudly.
"Second brother, Qingluan knew your good news and came back to celebrate for you!"
Shen Shu twirled his beard, but smiled and said nothing.
Shen Qingluan opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. When he raised his head, he had returned to his usual calmness and said, "Is there any good news for father?"
She looked Shen Shu up and down and said, "Let my daughter guess, my father must have sought the position of an interrogator. I wonder if I am right?"
The two clan elders looked at each other and laughed loudly, "Qingluan has been married for so long, we almost forgot that she has a reputation as a good fortune teller who always wins every bet.
Qingluan, tell us how you guessed it? "
Shen Qingluan's face was indifferent, but her heart was filled with joy.
The chief judges of the Zhou Dynasty were responsible for inspecting the government affairs and supervising the impeachment of officials. Those who had won the Holy Heart also had the power and responsibility to review memorials.
This official position requires a high degree of political sensitivity and integrity. It is tailor-made for Shen Shu and is also his long-standing ambition.
But looking at Shen Shu's face, one could tell that he was extremely satisfied with the official position he was seeking.
"Congratulations to my father for his great ambition. In the future, he will clear up the government, defeat traitors and treacherous people, heal the virtuous, and display his great ambitions without falling into the clouds!"
Shen Shu helped her daughter up, "Don't worry, good girl. With dad here, whoever dares to bully you will definitely make him pay ten times a hundred times the price."
Shen Shu didn't like to make promises, so the promises he made were particularly weighty.
At least for this moment, Shen Qingluan felt that his eyelids were a little sore, his throat seemed to be covered with a ball of cotton, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because when a person is used to being strong and occasionally receives a little care, it is always difficult to control himself.
It took some effort for her to control her emotions and said with a smile: "The father will stand behind his daughter for a long time. The daughter will never be able to live without her father's care."
The Shen family was enjoying themselves, but Jun Qian waited for a long time at the gatekeeper of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion.
"What's going on with Chen Fang? She didn't come to pick me up, that's all. I know how to get to the garden, so I'll go by myself!"
Jun Qian angrily pushed the boy away and walked inside.
"Sister Fang, why did you invite that shameless arrogant Jun Qian? Every time I'm in the same room with her, I feel like the tip of my nose is filled with the smell of copper."
Chen Fang greeted the ladies beside her with a smile on her face, her lips barely moving, and only a faint voice came out:
"Do you think I like her? She's a funny wallflower. She loves whoever gets the upper hand. She changes her face faster than an opera singer. She's so dirty and ridiculous. If she hadn't seen her aunt named Shen, who would have the patience to invite her?"
Standing next to Chen Fang is Wang Xinyuan, whose father is also a court official.
Wang Xinyuan's eyes flashed, "That's right, her aunt is upright and elegant, and it makes people's hearts melt when they see her from a distance. I wonder if she will come with Jun Qian today."
"Maybe—"
"Sister Fang!"
When the noisy shouts reached their ears, Chen Fang and Wang Xinyuan frowned and looked back together.
At this glance, the frown was locked together and could no longer be relaxed.
