boudoir

Chapter 35
Liuli threaded the needle and thread slowly, and she could finish embroidering a pair of handkerchiefs embroidered with a pair of lotuses before dinner.Nanny Li walked in, picked up the handkerchief and looked under the window twice, glanced at Liuli, then took it to the bright place in the corridor to compare it with the original one, and finally came in bitterly, and said suspiciously: "Could it be?" The little hoofs secretly embroidered for you?"

Liuli didn't speak, just stared at her.

Cuiying was scolded all afternoon to clean up the furniture and clothes for her, Tian'er was busy serving her tea and water, and Rui'er was not idle either, beating her legs all afternoon in the yard.She couldn't find a flaw, so she said: "I'll let you go this time, don't let me catch you next time!"

I think Liuli is a soft persimmon, and every time the meal comes, Li Nanny will sit at the Liuli table automatically, and there will always be various reasons to eat up Liuli's food.

Liuli is nothing, as she likes to eat, let her eat, anyway, she doesn't pick and choose the simple food of the servants, but the tableware must be her own.

Except for eating, because the old lady and Mrs. Yu both saved Liuli's morning and evening meditation, there are actually not many rules to follow in daily life, and Liuli has been a maid for several years in the harsh environment of Hefu. The rules have long been familiar in the heart, and it is impossible to make mistakes at critical moments.However, Nanny Li was ordered to come here, so she naturally had to find out a lot of things wrong, but Liuli gave in and obeyed without any resistance. That kind of vigor was like stabbing cotton with a fist, and she was the only one who was happy. Know.

Liuli's habit of waking up in the morning, exercising in the morning and taking a walk after dinner was also severely criticized by Nanny Li, and she was once strictly prohibited. Liuli asked her for the source of this rule, but she couldn't tell, so Liuli continued to go her own way.It’s just that the cost of this is that I do non-stop embroidery every day, and I have to look for opportunities in the cracks to do something else, which is depressing.

So Nanny Li has a lot of time left.

This day was the day after Cuiying finished her hunger punishment. After breakfast, Liuli went for a walk by the lake as usual. When she came back, she called the three servant girls in the courtyard, and pointed out with a rattan stick in her hand: "Ninth girl is lawless." You are also responsible! Don’t think I don’t know, you live in the garden, you can’t control the front, and you are more vicious than weasels! Since I’m here, you have to listen to me from now on! Where it is out of line, it is a trivial matter to be punished by kneeling or starving, but if it is serious, I will greet you with a cane!"

In fact, it was said to punish hunger, and it was temporarily changed to Rui'er for taking food, but Tian'er is from the big house, and there is an old lady who is such a powerful person, how could she be hungry?Then there is Cuiying, she was sent by the main courtyard anyway, to treat her with the rules of punishment and hunger for rough envoys. Ying is in the old lady's house.

However, Mrs. Li has been in the house of the eldest aunt for these years, so naturally she needs to go through Mrs. Yu to understand the situation in the mansion. Judging from the fact that Cuiying stared at Mrs. Li until her eyes turned red, and Mrs. Li also scolded her, Mostly don't know yet.It's just that Yu's intention to hide it like this is very suspicious. Even if she wants to use Madam Li to suppress Cuiying, it's time to stop, otherwise Yi Cuiying's temperament will continue to develop, and the two will become enemies. At that time, Mrs. Yu would have to walk away in front of the old lady.

Could it be that she, like herself, also hopes that these two will fight to the death?
Liuli sat on the opposite porch, staring at the courtyard with her chin resting.

After Mammy Li finished teaching, she asked Rui'er to move the chair out to bask in the sun, Tian'er rushed to say, "I'll move it!" and went into the house in a hurry.Nanny Li pointed at Rui'er: "Go and make a pot of tea. Don't fool me with that tea foam! Go get the money and let the people in the warehouse go out and buy some good tea!"

Rui'er nodded respectfully, and said: "Mommy, bring the money, and I'll go right away."

Nanny Li stared: "Ask me for money! Doesn't Cuiying's hoof have money? Ask her!"

Rui'er smiled and said: "Mommy, I think I remembered wrongly, Sister Cuiying has our girl's money in her hand."

"What's your girl's money!" Nanny Li patted the chair and jumped up: "My old lady, I eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day at my aunt's house, but now I come back to the house to serve your girl. I can't even drink good tea, but now you tell me to pay for the tea myself, what kind of rules are this!"

Now except for the money in Cuiying's hands, Rui'er is in charge of the daily life in the house, and Tian'er is responsible for the washing water.Liuli moved to the left behind the hibiscus bushes, not wanting to get involved in this matter.

The noise in the courtyard had already alarmed the people in the room. At this time, the door creaked open, and a person tentatively asked, "Is it Miss Nine?"

Liuli turned her head and saw that it was Feng Chun'er. Liuli had never met her since that night. Compared with before, Liuli's jingchai sarong was unbelievably clean.

Liuli felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what happened that night, but she tried her best to pretend to be normal: "Ah, it's Mrs. Feng. Do you want to go out?"

Feng Feng'er shook his head and secretly looked at her a few times.Liuli suspected that she had discovered the secret in her heart, but it was impossible when she thought about it, that day she purposely spoke in a high-pitched voice, even Hu Jin couldn't hear the difference, how could Feng Chun'er suspect a child like her?

Even if he really suspected her, what could she do if she refused to admit it?

When she made up her mind, she just stood still and let her look at her.

After Feng Chun'er finished reading, she pondered for a while, and then said, "Do you know my husband, Miss?"

Liuli paused, and asked back, "Who is your husband?"

Feng Chun'er said: "It's Lai Wu who guards the gate of the back garden." Seeing Liuli's vigilance, she calmed down, smiled and said, "That's right, last night my guy asked me if there was any A girl in her teens? I think there are eight girls and nine girls at this age in the mansion, so I'm asking you."

Liuli breathed a sigh of relief, put her hands into her sleeves, and said in a deep voice, "Lai Wu, I don't have any impression, why did he suddenly ask this?"

Feng Chun'er said: "I asked him the same thing. At first he refused to say it, but then he asked anxiously, and said that he met him by chance in the garden. Seeing this girl's cute and beautiful face, he was curious. I think eight Miss Nine are the top figures among the girls, and Miss Nine often walks around the garden, I think you are right."

Liuli said: "Did he say anything else?"

Feng Chun'er thought for a while: "That's all I said, and I also said that the girl looks like a fairy girl in a painting."

Speaking of this, she looked at Liuli's face again, Liuli was a little ashamed, and said: "Then Lai Wuhun, you also follow Hun, are you just talking about girls' appearance? If Madam hears this, you will There are good fruits for you to eat."

Feng Chun'er immediately fell silent.

Liuli ignored her and looked into the courtyard. At this moment, Cuiying had been called out, and she said to Nanny Li: "...Mammy is so arrogant, we need to pay for the tea, you call it an old lady Call you back, why don't you ask the old lady for money!"

Nanny Li took off her shoes and greeted her: "Little bitch, how dare you use Mrs. Du to crush me! I'll kill you bitch!"

"Mammy stop!"

Rui'er stepped forward to hold her back, Cuiying counterattacked, and immediately took advantage of Mammy Li's approach to knock her back on all fours!

Nanny Li howled: "What the hell! How dare you hit me?!" She dragged the chair beside her and was about to throw it at Cuiying. When Liuli saw that someone was about to die, she rushed to the gate and shouted : "Stop it!"

But who would take her seriously?After looking back at her, Nanny Li immediately picked up the big chair again.This chair weighs at least [-] to [-] catties. Given that she is already in her [-]s, I don't know where she got the strength to lift it up to the top of her head!

Rui'er called "Miss" in the midst of her busy schedule, and went back to rescue Cuiying, Tian'er shrank aside trembling, Liuli rushed to her side and said: "Don't invite the eldest lady! Mother Li is going to kill someone! "

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li stopped her offensive. Looking at her current appearance, isn't she just about to kill someone? !
"Hurry up and invite the old lady, the lady, and the old man, Mammy Li is going to kill someone! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Went into Ruier's arms and cried bitterly, shrugging her small shoulders, pitiful.

Both Feng Chun'er and Nanny Sun were shocked to come out of the room, and Cuiying was afraid of rushing up, so she also collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly.Nanny Li panicked, quickly dropped the cup, blocked Tian'er's way, and closed the courtyard door.Although it is true that she was invited back by the old lady, it does not mean that she can commit murder here - although she does not really want to kill, but they are all from He Fu, if they conspire to force her to be accused, Then she's so embarrassing!
Nanny Li unconsciously softened her hands and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Girl, this, this is really a misunderstanding... This old slave didn't want to kill someone! Girl, you must be dazzled... You are young, don't let people fool you ..."

Liuli kept shrinking into Rui'er's arms, crying: "I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"

Rui'er comforted her repeatedly: "Don't be afraid, girl, don't be afraid, girl! Mother Li was invited by the old lady to come back to serve the girl, how could she kill someone?"

"Exactly!" With the ready-made steps, how could Li Momo not rush down: "Miss Rui'er is right! No matter how courageous this old slave is, he would not dare to kill anyone!"

"Then what happened just now?"

Liu Li sat up and asked.

"Just now..." Mrs. Li was short of breath.Tianer came over and said:

"Just now, Mammy Li borrowed money from Sister Cuiying to buy tea. Cuiying refused to borrow money, but instead asked Mammy to go to the old lady to get the money. Mammy stood up and spoke when she was in a hurry."

That's what I said!If Liuli hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes from the beginning to the end, maybe she really thought that Mrs. Li was "borrowing" money instead of "asking" money!
