Li Qiusui muttered to Mrs. Zheng in his heart.
Madam Zheng then sent Nanny Qiu to call someone, "Miss Li, madam, please go to the main courtyard."
Before Li Qiu Sui could speak, Nanny Qiu chuckled again and said, "Madam heard that you became a disciple of Divine Doctor Yang and called her to ask if you would like to help organize a formal apprenticeship ceremony?"
Li Qiu Sui was wearing a cotton dress. She had been working in the vegetable field early in the morning. When her shoes got muddy, she said, "Mommy, go ahead and do your work first. I'll change my clothes and go over."
Aunt Qiu's smile did not change, showing her good temper. She nodded and agreed: "It's as it should be. Miss Li just goes and cleans up. If there is a nanny over there, Madam, I'll answer her first."
Cuiping went to see off Nanny Qiu.
Cuizhu took the dress and helped Li Qiu Sui change it. She estimated that the person was far away, so she dared to whisper in a low voice, "Ms. Qiu talked a lot today. When she came here to deliver messages before, her nostrils were turned up to the sky!"
Li Qiusui nodded, which was really flattering!
Cuiping, who was returning from seeing someone off, walked to the door and heard these words. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Whoever works as an errand in this mansion will not look down upon someone with a high eyebrow and a low eye. The girls on the left and right don't care about this. We can't offend her."
"Why are you back so soon?"
Where is Aunt Qiu?
Cuizhu looked behind Cuiping and muttered behind her back that it was always not a honorable thing.
Cuiping still didn't know Cuizhu's little thoughts, "Mother Qiu refused to let her go out, so I went back after seeing people leave the courtyard."
I thought Mother Qiu had converted! Cuizhu caressed his chest.
Cuiping looked at her in shock and said, "Even in the girl's room, you should be more careful what you say in the future."
There were too few manpower available in the yard. Logically, there should be two little maids guarding the door of the girl's house, and someone would pass the news as they came in and out.
Cuizhu was not convinced, "The girl has become a disciple of Divine Doctor Yang, and she will have a backer in the future. Let's see who dares to look down upon her!"
The two of them were talking while helping Li Qiu Sui wash up and change clothes.
Li Qiu Sui said to Cuizhu, "Let Cuiping accompany me alone. Cuizhu, go to Dongcheng's house quickly and spend the night to see how Xiaobao is doing? There are also pills for you. Which one is high?" Hot food? Which one should be eaten when coughing? Be sure to distinguish clearly!"
Cuizhu hurriedly took out the small porcelain bottle and showed it to Li Qiu Sui, "...the small blue flowers in the bottle... are used to remove high fever, so don't just eat them! The pink flowers are for cough relief, so it's okay to eat more!"
Li Qiusui nodded and reminded her, "You should feed Xiaobao the pills yourself this time, and don't let them pass through other people's hands."
There were only seven newly purchased servants in the yard, plus Xiang Tietou, Cuizhu's father.
I bought a new servant yesterday afternoon and met him briefly. I couldn't tell who was who.
Cuizhu knew in her heart that the girl was not talking about them, so she lowered her head, it must be!
Not to mention the girl, even she herself doesn’t trust her father!
No matter how busy you are, you know clearly that she is not the biological mother of the child. You must have been ill before and you should take care of her sooner or later when you go to work. How can you let others torture Xiaobao into such a state?
Just a little bit, just a little bit! Her brother is dead!
Cuizhu suppressed her emotions and said, "Girl, I still want to go home. Cuiping is the only one beside you, okay?"
Cuiping heard about Cuizhu's family last night and went to see Li Qiusui.
There were only two of them serving the girl, so she was left alone because they were afraid that the girl wouldn't be used to it.
"What's wrong? It's not like you won't come back! Besides, am I the one who is difficult to maintain?" Li Qiusui rolled his eyes at Cuizhu.
Without waiting for Cuizhu to speak, he warned her again, "Don't go back alone. Take the couple named Zhao with you. Your stepmother needs help if she makes a fuss. Be smart. If you find something is wrong, don't be stubborn and come back. There are plenty of ways to deal with your stepmother."
The couple surnamed Zhao were the servants they had just bought and placed in the house in the east of the city. They seemed more flexible than a family of five. Cuizhu went to see Xiaobao first and took them with him on the way.
The girl had thought of everything for her and explained everything she could!
Cuizhu's eyes were sore, fearing that her tears would fall again unsatisfactorily, she hurriedly covered her face, nodded and made a humming sound from her nose...
Her mother had died a long time ago, so how could anyone take care of her? Her father sold her to work as a maid in the Zheng Mansion. Regardless of the woman's face, she was actually happy to leave such a home.
Li Qiu Sui only thought that she was worried about Xiaobao and made her stepmother angry, so she stopped talking about it and wasted time.
Cuizhu didn't explain, and watched Li Qiu Sui and Cuiping leave with red eyes.
Keep the kindness in your heart without saying it.
…
…
In Mrs. Zheng's room, sisters Zheng Yuan and Zheng Yan were both there, listening to Mrs. Zheng's story about Li Qiusui's apprenticeship with Dr. Yang.
Zheng Yan held her face in her hands and muttered, "What kind of medicine are you studying every year! Identifying medicinal herbs, identifying symptoms and prescribing medicines are all very difficult tasks! There are so many medical classics in Dr. Yang's room, just one look at them makes me dizzy. She's not even seven yet! My husband has given me so much homework, and I have to stay up until late every day. I don't know where she got the time to study other things."
I don’t want you to learn, why do you do so much after talking so much!
Zheng Yuan noticed that her mother looked bad and quickly gave her sister a wink.
Their father told them that their mother had been having nightmares recently, being woken up in the middle of the night, not sleeping well, and inevitably having a bad temper...
Mrs. Zheng's face had changed over there, and she said with a stern tone that the sisters had never seen before: "You are a few years older than me, and your studies are mediocre. You spend all your time eating and playing...you can't write poetry." , don’t go to those poetry gatherings! The female celebrity is just as brilliant, and it will be enough for you! From tomorrow on, you are not allowed to step out of the room without my permission!"
At the end, he almost lost his temper and roared!
The sisters...
"Mom!" Zheng Yan had tears in her eyes and hesitantly pulled on Mrs. Zheng's sleeves.
She and her sister had been pampered and pampered since they were young, and they had never seen their mother behave like this before.
Is this my mother who is usually upright and approachable?
When her sister spoke, Zheng Yuan came back to her senses, grabbed Mrs. Zheng's other sleeve, and admitted her mistake first, "Mom, it's me and Sister Yan who are ignorant. Don't be angry, we don't dare to do it anymore! Sister Yan dares to ignore her in schoolwork, Just punish her to copy scriptures for you! Don’t worry, I’m watching over her. If she dares to be naughty, you don’t need to ground her. I won’t ignore her anymore!”
Mrs. Zheng closed her eyes, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
None of those things happened, how could she blame her sister Yan!
It’s different! Everything is different!
"Mom... I didn't get a good rest last night. You go back first and come back after you rest for a while."
"mother……"
Zheng Yan wanted to speak, but was cut off by Zheng Yuan, "Mom, take a good rest. I'll go and say something over there, and we'll come over to talk to you in the afternoon."
Mrs. Zheng nodded, and a smile appeared on her face that had shed tears, "It's so pitiful for a little person who is just a little older than me, but his parents are not around. You sisters should take more care of him!"
Mrs. Zheng used to say that when they looked after Li Qiu Sui, they only took it out of pity, but now...
