Shuang'er delivered the things,
In her heart,
After giving Jia Zhen a harsh lesson, Li Yunhong made a mental note of it.
She planned to wait for Madam Jia He to return,
After fiercely complaining, she left the Sakura Temple.
The Jia Zhen touched the wheelchair with a slight smile on her face,
It could be said that that violent woman was considerate,
"Xiao Cui,
The weather today is good,
I think the scenery in the courtyard is also good. Push master out for a walk, "
Since the things had been sent over,
No matter what, she had to use them. She sat on the chair,
She let the servant push her away,
It was better than letting the manservant carry her.
"Yes," Xiao Cui was helpless,
She pushed the Jia Zhen to the garden.
"Aunt, just now, the servant girl from the Sakura Temple sent news,
She said that master has gone to the garden now. "Bi Yan's face was filled with joy.
"That's great, the heavens are helping me." Hong Xiu's eyes lit up,
She knew that madam had brought grandma and grandma Lin to offer incense,
She was just worrying about how to go to the Sakura Temple,
She was being punished by being grounded,
It was not a good idea to go to the Sakura Temple rashly, especially the four eldest maidservants of the Sakura Temple. Bi Yun and Bi Yue were brought over by grandma, so it was natural that they were not allowed to get close to master, but Xiao Cui and Xiao Fei, the two maidservants that madam had given over, were also on grandma's side. Hong Xiu felt that either Xiao Cui and Xiao Fei had ulterior motives, or they were crazy.
If they had ulterior motives, they naturally wanted to become master's concubine. Naturally, they had to curry favor with grandma first. If grandma was soft-hearted, she might promote these two maidservants. After all, grandma had brought two maidservants with her. If they wanted grandma to promote them, they naturally had to be more dedicated to grandma than the two maidservants.
As for whether they were crazy, she definitely did not think that Xiao Cui and Xiao Fei would protect grandma for no reason. After all, Xiao Cui and Xiao Fei were eldest maidservants given by madam. Regarding this identity, even grandma had to be respectful. They did not need to care too much about grandma. Hong Xiu completely did not think that there was another reason, which was that Xia Lu's pretending to be weak and harmless had conquered them. In this world, being good to a person was not only about benefits, but also protection.
Xia Lu had Jia Zhen as a teammate. Because of Jia Zhen's random ideas, Xia Lu casually pretended to be weak in front of Xiao Cui and Xiao Fei. In an instant, their desire to protect him exploded. After all, humans sympathized with the weak. When they saw that Jia Zhen was such a scumbag, they naturally wanted to treat Xia Lu better. It was that simple.
"Who are the people following master? Have you found out?" Hong Xiu quickly asked.
"Only Xiao Cui is serving him," Bi Yan said.
"That's great. Later, you will lead Xiao Cui away …" Hong Xiu gestured for Bi Yan to come closer and whispered her plan in Bi Yan's ear. Today was the best day. She must not fail.
After receiving the order, Bi Yan immediately went to make the arrangements.
"Master, it's sunny today. Let's go back after walking around for a while. You've finally become fair. Don't get tanned again. When Grandma comes back, she won't be able to recognize you." Xiao Cui teased Jia Zhen, but in fact, she really wanted Jia Zhen to go back as soon as possible. These days, her master had been with Grandma for a long time, and he didn't like more maidservants following him. She pushed the chair alone. At first, it was fine, but after pushing it for so long, her arms were very sore. She was the only one here to serve, so it was impossible for her to get someone else to push the chair.
"Let's walk a little longer. I have been cooped up in the house for more than two months. Master has long been suffocated. Just for a little while. I won't get tanned. Even if I do, the Xia Clan will not dare to dislike me." The Jia Zhen did not understand the meaning of Xiao Cui's words at all. He was happy in his heart. He was the husband of the violent woman in the Xia Clan. In this world, how could a woman dislike her husband?
Xiao Cui silently rolled her eyes. In her heart, she felt injustice for her grandmother. Her grandmother was such a good person, but she had to deal with her master. She did not know how to be considerate of a servant. How could her grandmother tolerate this? Xiao Cui endured her sore arms and silently pushed the Jia Zhen's wheelchair forward with difficulty.
Because they were out for a walk, the Jia Zhen's thoughts were not on Xiao Cui. He thought to himself, "We haven't seen each other for more than two months. Although this is a familiar garden, it feels very fresh." The Jia Zhen was very happy in his heart and focused all his attention on the flowers and plants.
"Master, Sister Xiao Cui." Bi Yan walked over from the other side of the garden. She walked in front of the Jia Zhen and bowed.
The Jia Zhen looked at the servant standing in front of him and was a little surprised. "Isn't this Bi Yan?"
"Yes, Master. I didn't expect Master to still remember me." Bi Yan's eyes were red.
"What's wrong?" The Jia Zhen saw Bi Yan's expression and was a little puzzled.
"It's fine. This servant has just received concubine mother's monthly allowance and is preparing to return to give it to concubine mother. I won't disturb you from strolling around the garden." Bi Huan pursed her lips and wanted to walk around Jia Zhen and Xiao Cui.
"Wasn't the monthly allowance issued at the beginning of the month? It's already the eighth day of the Chinese New Year. Why did you only receive it today? "The Jia Zhen felt that something was wrong.
"Maybe the housekeeper was busy and forgot to issue it to you." Bi Yan did not want to talk about it anymore.
Xiao Cui pursed her lips and stood behind the chair. She gently rubbed her arms and narrowed her eyes at Bi Yan's sudden appearance. That Hong Xiu concubine had a good plan. She knew what the housekeepers in her residence were like. Whenever they saw a concubine lose power, they would always delay the concubine's monthly allowance. They would only be willing to give the concubine's monthly allowance when the concubine's servant girl begged them for help. Sometimes, they would even deduct a little from the monthly allowance. Two taels of silver per month. Even the more powerful housekeepers would only get half of the monthly allowance.
As for telling the master about this matter, not to mention whether the master would care about a concubine who had lost his favor, even if he would care, he would just tell the madam about it and let her deal with it. The existence of a concubine was a burden to the madam. If the madam did not reward the steward, she would definitely not care about it. At most, she would say a few words to the steward because of the master's order. In the end, the steward would be even fiercer and more severe.
The concubines were already begging for food in Madam's hands. In the end, they were the ones who suffered. Therefore, those concubines who lost their favor could only swallow their anger. Xiao Cui looked at Bi Yan and thought to herself that this Hong Xiu concubine was really something. She wanted to tell Young Master about this matter. It seemed that the housekeeper was going to be in trouble. After all, the concubine who lost his favor in the past was Master's concubine. Now, she was Young Master's concubine. They were two different concepts. The Hong Xiu concubine was only a burden to Grandma, not to Madam.
"Oh, it seems that the housekeeper in our manor is really generous. Don't worry, there won't be a next time. Next time, I'll tell Madam that the housekeeper will be punished," the Jia Zhen said.
"Thank you, Master." Bi Yan wiped her tears.
After the Jia Zhen promised, he saw that the girl still did not know how to leave. He did not know what to say and felt a little embarrassed.
Xiao Cui didn't feel awkward about such a situation. She hoped that the longer this lass stayed here, the longer her hands could rest. The chair was already heavy, and her master was sitting on it. Her hands were really sore.
"Well, do you have anything else to say? If not, you can leave. "The Jia Zhen could not stand the atmosphere and wanted to send her away. She did not want to disturb him from walking around the garden.
"Our concubine made a set of sleeping clothes for Master. She wanted to send it to you, but because she is still being punished, she can't give it to you in person. Master, can you let Sister Xiao Cui come with me to get it?" Bi Yan was a little disappointed. She thought that after Young Master heard that his concubine's monthly allowance had been severely deducted by the housekeeper, he would take the initiative to visit his concubine. In the end, not only did he not ask how his concubine was doing recently, he even wanted her to leave. She quickly used the second method.
The Jia Zhen pursed his lips. He thought about how that violent woman broke his leg when he went to visit Hong Xiu. Presumably, that violent woman was not a magnanimous person. If he suddenly had an extra set of sleeping clothes, how would he explain it to that violent woman? Would the violent woman be dissatisfied and break his leg again? The Jia Zhen shuddered and did not dare to think about it.
"Master still has a lot of sleeping clothes. It is rare for your concubine to get a bolt of good cloth. Just let your concubine make some changes and change it into her own sleeping clothes." The Jia Zhen shook his head and refused.
Hearing Jia Zhen's words, Bi Huan was a little startled. Both of her plans had failed. She secretly glanced at the rockery in the distance. Her concubine mother was hiding there. She had already thought it through. If her master was soft-hearted and was willing to see her directly, she would make a gesture to let her concubine mother return quickly. If her master did not go to see her concubine mother, she would use this excuse to send Xiao Cui away. She would take the initiative to come out to see her master. When they met, they would always be affectionate. When her master saw her, he would not be so cold and heartless, ignoring her terrible situation.
But now, both of her plans had failed. Could it be that today was going to be wasted? Were those fifty taels of silver thrown into the water for nothing? Not even a sound could be heard? Bi Yan was a little anxious.
"Master, that was concubine's goodwill. She stayed up for a few nights and her eyes were red. She sewed it stitch by stitch." Bi Yan was naturally unwilling to give up. She had to let her concubine see Master. She did not want to experience being treated lightly like this anymore. As long as her concubine was doted on, good days would come.
"So let your concubine change her clothes and treat herself well." The Jia Zhen thought to himself. With Xia Clan around, Master would not be able to enjoy it.
The Jia Zhen refused again. Bi Yan was a little stunned. When Xiao Cui saw this, she thought of the best way to get herself out of this situation and stop pushing the chair. She said, "Master, this is concubine's goodwill. What do you mean by changing it and letting her wear it herself? How can you face concubine of Hong Xiu like this?" Then, she said to Bi Yan, "Don't listen to Master's duplicity. This is concubine's goodwill after all. I'll go with you to get it later."
The Jia Zhen did not react for a moment and let Xiao Cui speak.
"Really?" Bi Yan's eyes lit up. She did not expect Xiao Cui to speak up for her.
The Jia Zhen pursed his lips. He was a little angry at Xiao Cui in his heart. Xiao Cui was his head maidservant after all. He had to give her some face. It was just a nightgown, so it should not be a problem. "Go."
"Okay, Master. I'll ask the servant to push you later." Xiao Cui sighed in relief. Finally, she did not have to push the chair anymore.
