boudoir

Chapter 62 You Don't Regret
At this time, Liuli was standing by the flower stand practicing her posture, seeing her froth flying all over her mouth, and suddenly a drop of saliva splashed her face, she frowned and wiped her face.Unexpectedly, before she put her hand down, the rattan stick was drawn to her wrist!
Liuli jumped up in pain, Rui'er screamed and rushed over, "Mammy Li, what are you doing?!"

"What are you doing?" Mother Li asked back, cursing at Liuli, "I'm just teaching you how to behave! What do you mean by sitting, standing, and dancing?! Dare to show affection in front of the wives You too? Hitting you is to make you remember!"

Rui'er said angrily: "Don't forget your identity!"

Nanny Li immediately whipped a whip on the table and said, "What is my identity, and what is your identity?! Get out of here, little bastard!"

Rui'er stared at her, biting her lower lip and not moving.

Liuli covered her wound and said, "Rui'er go out first."

Rui'er glanced at her, stomped at Nanny Li with resentment, turned around and rushed out the door.

Liuli went forward and closed the door, turned around, went to the embroidery stand and tore a piece of cloth to wrap the wound, then went back to the flower stand and stood still.

Nanny Li's brows jumped suddenly, and she stood up involuntarily.It stands to reason that this little girl has nothing to be afraid of, but now she can't see that she is angry at all, which makes her uneasy instead, her eyes are fixed on her hands, for fear that if she goes crazy and raises her hands, she will kill them. Pick up the potted flowers and smash them over!

But Liuli stood there, unexpectedly didn't look at her again, but calmly said: "Let's do it again."

After lunch, Liuli took a walk in the corridor, Rui'er couldn't help but said: "This hag is so hateful, now she is so powerful that she even dares to beat the girl, why does the girl put up with her!"

Liu Li patted Mo Tuan'er's head, and said casually, "What's the rush? You go and find out her details first, the more you know, the better."

Ruier went away in response.

The matter of Hongxiu had a wide impact, not only did the servants in the mansion conduct a thorough investigation inside and out, but the servants of the young masters also came to clean it up.The Yu family and the Qi family were both busy with housework and being filial to the old man, so they seemed to have forgotten about the Golden Butterfly.

The old man had been lying on the bed for seven or eight days, and on this day the Holy Majesty suddenly sent his father-in-law to send a message of sympathy. The old man held the piece of yellow silk and cried for a long time, and he was able to go to the ground in the next afternoon.

Everyone in the whole house was happy, and He Cunyu entered the palace to thank the old man on that day, and when he came back, he was also full of joy. The wives congratulated him when they saw him, but they didn't know why.

It was already the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month when Rui'er inquired about this.At the same time, she also found out the details of Nanny Li. It turned out that Nanny Li's boudoir name was Qiao'er, and she was the daughter of the first great aunt and wet nurse.When He Duanyun got married, it was planned to be Qiaoer's younger sister as a dowry, but that year she was suddenly infected with smallpox and died suddenly. Qiaoer went, He Duanyun was gentle and could not grind her, so he allowed her.

Qiao'er went to the Duke's Mansion, and at first she followed the rules, but as time went by, she gradually revealed her true nature. He Duanyun didn't dare to make her look ugly, so he put her in the dowry shop for a few years.Qiao'er got married there and had children, but she quarreled with her parents-in-law and sister-in-law all day long, so much so that the store manager had to come forward to smooth things over.

Just at this time, He Duanyun was already sick, and the two sons and daughters were worried about being taken care of by others, so they recruited her back to take care of them.He Duanyun passed away within two years, and Qiaoer regarded herself as the protector of the young son and the young master, and Dongzhe cried and told how unfortunate the old aunt was.Eldest son-in-law Liu Chenfeng respected his dead wife and often didn't care about her. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and drove her away from his children, until the He family still remembered such a person and took her back.

Rui'er finally said: "Now she is just an old rascal, jumping at every opportunity, arguing with her daughter-in-law every day at home, the old man died the year before last, and the son kicked her out, saying that if she was here, he would die early 20 years! The old lady put this disaster here, she dared to ruin our life!"

"How can it be so serious?" Liuli smiled and said, "It won't last long."

After breakfast that day, Nanny Li began to "teach" Liuli how to serve tea, and sat at the head holding a rattan stick in her hand, and let Liuli respect her.Rui'er was holding a small stove beside her to boil water, secretly staring at her [-] times.

Liuli remained silent.

After a while the water boiled, Rui'er made tea, picked up Liuli, and offered it with both hands: "Mother, please drink tea."

Nanny Li said: "It's so hot, how do you drink it?"

Rui'er gouged her out.Liuli didn't speak, she uncovered the lid and put it aside, then turned her head to let Rui'er brew another seven or eight bowls beside her.Nanny Li stared at her sideways, her chin almost raised to the sky with pride.

Liuli served the bowl of tea that was just warmed to perfection: "Please, mother."

"Your Majesty!"

Liuli raised her head, and Nanny Li said in a louder voice, "I'll make you kneel down!"

Rui'er was about to have a seizure, Liuli stopped her, looked at Nanny Li: "Really?"

Nanny Li jumped up, her eyes widened: "If you don't take it seriously, you still think I'm joking?!"

Liuli stared at her for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Okay, as long as you don't regret it."

"I regret it?!" Nanny Li pointed at her nose, "What a joke! What do I have to regret! — Kneel down quickly and stop dawdling there!"

Liu Li ordered Rui'er to bring the tea, knelt down, took it with both hands and offered it up.Nanny Li snorted and took a few sips, then slapped the cup on the table: "Bring the tea in your cupboard."

"Mother Li! Don't forget who you are!" Rui'er put down the tray heavily, and couldn't hold back anymore: "No matter how bad our girl is, she is still the master, and you are just a slave—"

"Rui'er, go get some tea."

Liuli twisted her hair to speak, blocking the words behind her in her throat.Nanny Li raised the cane and whipped it on the table, Rui'er gritted her teeth and went into the room.

Liu Li knelt on the ground, still didn't get up, looked at Li Mama, and said, "Mama Li is so majestic."

Nanny Li snorted coldly and looked at her: "I know you hate me, but you can't blame me! This is an order from the eldest lady. The New Year's Eve ancestor worship is coming soon. Let alone others, the county master of Chunyang and the eldest aunt are still there. The people from Xihe Mansion are coming here, Madam is willing to take you in for the sake of the Elder Master, if you make a mistake in this matter and make the Elder Madam lose face in front of the various mansions, then it is not a slap in the face It's a matter of a dozen!"

Rui'er had already taken back the tea and made it again, Liuli picked up a bowl, and said to herself, "It turns out that there is such a thing as offering private tea to entertain guests in the ancestor worship rules." After speaking, she smiled again: "Mother Please!"

Nanny Li took it and was about to drink it, when someone outside the door said, "Hey! Where did this person go?"

Liuli heard in a daze that Qian Changsheng's family had come, and quickly gave Rui'er a wink.Seeing Rui'er coming out to welcome her, Nanny Li hurriedly got up, but Liu Li didn't move, but knelt down more firmly.

"Yo, what's going on here?"

Mrs. Qian entered the door and saw Liuli kneeling in the middle of the ground, so she rushed to Nanny Li who stood stunned at the top.

Liuli turned her head and said: "Mistress, I'm kneeling down to serve tea to Mammy, please forgive me for not being able to get up to entertain her."

Mrs. Qian glanced at Nanny Li, and said, "What did Mammy say? Where in the world is there any reason for a master to kneel to a slave?"

Nanny Li was busy teasing Liuli, but she didn't know she wouldn't move at all, so she teased Mrs. Qian and said, "Your Majesty has wronged me, I was ordered by Mrs. Madam to teach the etiquette and rules of Miss Nine. Don’t dare to commit crimes on purpose!”

Mrs. Qian said: "So it's because of this. But anyway, a girl is a girl, even when saluting, you should be a bit biased. How can there be someone who is sitting and receiving the salute?"

Nanny Li laughed and said, "How can it be? Isn't this just a demonstration!"

Rui'er was about to interrupt again behind Mrs. Qian, but Liu Li stared at her.

Mrs. Qian said: "Since that's the case, forget it.—Shuangxi, Yuegui, Haitang, the three of you come in and help the girl up!"

After all, three girls filed in from outside the door.Liuli didn't know that there was someone outside the door, but luckily Rui'er was clever and helped her up before the three of them entered the door.

After being worshiped by these three maids, Liuli immediately understood that this was a newcomer for her room, and immediately looked intently, there were two coarse cloth clothes, one round face with straight eyebrows, jujube pit eyes, and one cherry with light eyebrows and light eyes. The mouths are all naive, and there are rules, but the eyes are fixed on the toes, and they still look a little restrained.The other was wearing light yellow clothes, slightly older than them, fourteen or fifteen years old, and his eyes were obviously much more sophisticated, so I don't need to say more about the origin of this.On the contrary, those two seem to be very suitable for Liuli. What she needs now is an honest person, and the loyalty of an honest person is the easiest to cultivate.At this moment, she couldn't help but secretly sighed that Hongxiu was really a good person, and she knew that she had found such a safe person, if she picked two smart ones, let alone she dare not take them, and Yu's side would definitely not give them.

However, this matter still needs to be confirmed with Hongxiu before it can be done.

"How does Miss Nine look at these girls?"

Mrs. Qian looked at Liuli with a smile.Liuli looked back at her and saw that she was dressed lightly today and her ostentation was no longer as grand as that day, so she knew that she came directly from the long room, and said: "I look very good, but every time I think about my wife's daily affairs, I have to take time to worry about me. It's really disturbing."

Mrs. Qian said: "The eldest lady is a famous and virtuous lady. We are all envious of the girl's kindness in private! It's good for the girl to know.——The two girls, Yuegui Haitang, are new to the mansion. You have to bring Shuangxi Hold on."

The Huangsang servant girl named Shuangxi bowed down and said yes.

Liuli understood that this meant that Shuangxi was ranked higher than the other two, presumably because she came to take Cuiying's place, and Rui'er was also third, so she was equal to those two.

Mrs. Qian drank a bowl of tea, gave some more orders, and then left. Nanny Li sent her straight to the third door.
