So in the evening, Song Yu opened the door and came in, and what he saw was a scene of a confrontation between the three of them.
No, to be precise, it should be that Xihe was sitting at the table wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, picking his nails. The old man was holding a fire stick and was full of energy. He lit Chuntao and told her what a 'maid's duty' was, while Chuntao knelt down. On the ground, I dared not say anything, until the old man couldn't help it when the fire stick in his hand was about to hit his face, and he stood up with a 'bang'.
The old man was startled and couldn't help but lean back: "What are you doing!"
Chuntao's face was full of hatred, and she gritted her teeth: "You are a shameless old thing, how dare you train me? My father in the Song family is an official with the rank of Jinshi, a third-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, what are you? A big character You ignorant mud-legged boy, if it weren’t for the kindness of my young master, do you think you would be here?”
Mr. Jiang was shocked and pointed at her: "You, you, you!"
Chuntao slapped his hand away with a look of disgust on her face: "If the young master hadn't asked me to come here, do you think I would come here? The room is full of stench, it's disgusting, and I don't know how long I haven't taken a shower..."
The moment he turned around, the sound stopped abruptly.
Xihe raised his head in surprise and followed his line of sight to see Song Yu standing by the door. He raised his eyebrows and turned his head, only to see Chuntao's face turned pale for an instant, but she forced herself to calm down and said: "Master, are you here? My slave. Let’s get you a cup of hot tea.”
Song Yu looked at her and uttered two words coldly: "Get out."
Chuntao became anxious instantly: "Master, things are not as you see. This old guy is relying on his old age to show off his old age, and he even beat me with a stick. I am a maid of the Song family, and he..."
Song Yu's face turned cold instantly.
Chuntao's heart trembled, and she suddenly didn't dare to speak.
The old man suddenly became possessed by drama, and ran over with a cry: "Baby, you are back. You don't know how much this maid is. She bullied us and me early in the morning, made fun of Yue'er, and called me an old man. …”
She rubbed her nose and tears on Song Yu:
"Although you suffered in my Lao Jiang's house by accident, what does this have to do with us? It was the Song family's lax housekeeping that made you suffer... My old man made you suffer by shitting and peeing Da, there is hard work without credit, right? As for being pointed at the nose and scolded by a maid like this!"
Mr. Jiang was so angry. This was the first time in his life that someone had scolded him like this. It was so unreasonable!
No, if he doesn't get a lesson today, he will never be able to swallow this breath.
Adding fuel to the fire, he told how Chuntao had been beaten and beaten so early in the morning, and how he had embarrassed Xihe, and recalled the past: "I remember that you were weak back then, old man, I hired a doctor, and because of my connections, I sold my last fortune to treat you. Okay. Later, I was afraid that you would have no way out, so I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma to hire a martial arts master... Big boy, now that you are home, you are the master of others, and we can no longer compete with you."
He let go of his hand and said with a frustrated look on his face: "Go back and don't come back again. My old man is very old. He just wants to live in peace and wait for death. I don't want to be scolded."
The moment he turned around, he counted one, two, three, and the next second someone grabbed his arm.
Song Yu looked at Chuntao, her voice as cold as ice: "Are you going out by yourself, or do you want me to carry you out?"
Chuntao looked at the three people in the room. The former eldest lady was still eating melon seeds and watching the show. Although the old man had a miserable look on his face, there was pride in his eyes. The eldest son who had just returned to the Song family was standing in front, doing his part. She protected them without any concern that she was a maid of the Song family.
He made a mistake and misjudged the old man's position in the young master's heart.
Chuntao's heart choked, and she leaned forward: "I am wrong."
There were only three people left in the yard, and Song Yu humbly apologized to Mr. Jiang, saying that it was his negligence this time and there would never be a next time.
Of course the old man didn't make this scene just to push his grandson away. The black face didn't cool down for long before he angrily forgave him and said: "This kind of person likes to flatter others and put down others. If you gain power today, she will respect you." You, if you are in trouble one day, she will definitely be the first to turn around and step on you."
"Your status is different now, so keep your eyes open."
Song Yu lowered his head: "Master, I understand."
The old man was immediately satisfied and stood up: "Okay, I'm tired too. Go inside and lie down. Tell Yue if you have anything to do." Without Song Yu's help, he opened the door curtain and went into the house to rest.
The yard became quiet, the wind was blowing, and the sky was overcast.
Seeing that Xihe was still eating melon seeds leisurely, Song Yu opened his mouth and suddenly felt embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I don't know... Don't worry, there will never be a next time."
Xihe smiled and nodded: "It's okay, people's hearts are unpredictable, and you didn't expect it either."
Most of the original owner's clothes were bright pink. At this time, she was wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket, her hair was loosely tied in a braid, and her eyes were clear, as if she didn't care about everything just now.
Song Yu suddenly felt uncomfortable. It was different after all.
He stood up awkwardly: "I'm going to cook."
The Jiang family is a typical small farmhouse. The kitchen is covered with thatch and an oil lamp is lit. Xihe sits in front of the pot and lights the fire while watching Song Yu roll up her sleeves and cook quickly with her hands and feet - a plate of meat. A plate of vegetables and a pot of soup.
Xihe thought of Chuntao outside the door and hesitated: "Chuntao?"
Song Yu neatly took out the dishes and said, "I will take her away when I go back."
Xihe looked out the window. It was still dark and it was snowing: "It's not safe to go back at night. Why don't we leave tomorrow?" What to do if something happens? It's better to be safe.
Song Yu paused and looked up at her: "Okay."
Chuntao was extraordinarily honest that night, silently letting Xihe sleep in her arms as a heater. It was freezing cold, so Song Yu called someone in without letting her blow the cold wind for too long. Mr. Jiang sneered coldly, I didn't hold on to it all the time.
The next morning, Song Yu left with Chuntao.
As soon as they returned to the house, they were sent directly back to Mrs. Song, and then they turned around and left without saying anything.
Mrs. Song was stunned and shouted, but found that the person had gone away. She frowned and asked Chuntao what happened? Chuntao chirped and told the story again.
However, she was afraid that her wife would punish her, so she spoke ill of Xihe and Mr. Jiang.
She knew that Mrs. Song cherished Song Yu's treasure, so she kept talking about how the Jiang family exploited Song Yu, such as cooking, sweeping the floor, washing clothes, etc.
Mrs. Song: "..."
He slapped his hand on the table and said with anger, "This is too much!"
In this room, Song Yu followed the people assigned by Master Song, carefully memorizing the intricate relationships of various families in the capital, and then learned various etiquettes, making sure that there would be no mistakes on the day of the banquet for the guests.
Song Yu studied eagerly, and during this period he also met people from the third room of the Song family.
The young ladies in the eldest house, the younger brothers and sisters in the third house, and Mr. Song's children, the younger sisters were particularly affectionate to him, talking about "brother and elder brother", and they were all lively and cute.
