Chapter 22 What is Duty?
Xiangyu anxiously looked at Mammy's face that turned red and then pale, and felt that Mammy probably hated the red flower, and she was right!I was so angry to death when I heard these words, let alone the nanny who looked at the young lady like an eyeball, so he dog-leggedly slid on Nanny Shun's chest, and honestly persuaded: "Mommy, please don't worry!" Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry with this kind of person, as the lady said, instead of being angry with such a person, it's better to think about how to make good use of her value."

Nanny Li naturally knows this truth, now they have important people, no one wants money, no money, no!There is still some money, but the old man of the family explained that it was the father-in-law who said that they must never reveal their wealth, although she felt that even if their life was better, they would not be linked to wealth, so naturally they could not beat anyone. Eyes, but in order not to violate the wishes of the Duke, they can only be Miss Wronged.

But although Madam Li knew that the Duke would never treat her young lady badly, and she would not be partial to the fourth lady behind her, she still couldn't understand how the Duke would do this. You must know that the house does not talk about wives and grandmas. Just a few young ladies can be described as extravagant, but the young lady of their family has to live a life that is not as good as that of ordinary wealthy ladies. It turned out to be such a day.

Seeing Xiangyu persuading herself worriedly, Nanny Li still calmed down, laughing that her lady can talk, and in her eyes, nothing can be called a big deal, so she nodded and said: "Alright, now Just do as the young lady said, I will find a way to catch Honghua, you go to her room to get things yourself, don't let Shuer know too much, it seems that this girl's heart is already towards the fourth young lady."

After what happened this afternoon, Xiangyu naturally saw the number in this way, nodded and said: "Well, that's the reason, I hate that I still think that we don't have many people in the yard, and she can still maintain it on weekdays." Miss, you want to train and cultivate, but who knows what the result will be, that's all, it seems that we can only trust ourselves."

Nanny Li is funny, Xiangtao, this girl can still think about who is reliable and unreliable, so as to cultivate manpower, it's good if she doesn't make trouble for herself, and she is really a silly girl when she thinks about this, Nanny Li smiled, nodded Xiangyu's head, and said angrily: "You! You are such a devil star, you should forget about these things, everyone in this house is a ghost, you And there are some to see."

It's no wonder Li Mama didn't like Xiangyu's vision of people. The key point is that although Xiangyu was picked up by the wife, the wife never let her sign the deed, saying that it is a good one. If the child is separated from the family, If you give the child a contract, you will be regarded as a slave. I originally wanted to save others, but this will harm the innocent birth of the child. It is better to raise it first.

Later, no one came to look for her. The wife saw that the child was well-behaved, and she never mentioned signing a contract for her. At that time, the wife had not yet given birth to a young lady, so she just raised her. She kept her by her side like a daughter, and the wife said that if she didn't have a contract, no title, no title, it wouldn't be good to keep her by her side, so she decided to allocate the child to Qingfeng, and that would be both. Even if someone found out about the child Identity can be regarded as a statement.

Ever since Madam set up two small matters, Nanny Li treated Xiangyu as both a daughter and a daughter-in-law. Naturally, what should be taught to her would not be some skills of being a servant, but to teach her how to be a female red stove. She didn't pay much attention to teaching the crafts of husband and wife, how to deal with people, as for those servants in the mansion who should know how to read words, observe emotions, and calculate people's hearts. After all, Xiangyu married Qingfeng in the future and wanted to be a young mistress There is no need to really learn how to struggle and survive with the slaves in the big house.

But today, after listening to Xiangyu's words, and thinking about Miss's situation, Mother Li felt that it is better to teach Xiangyu about these things. You know, even if she doesn't use it now, she will marry Qingfeng in the future. If the servants don't know how to judge people, it will be bad if they are deceived by the servants, so they made up their minds, not only to teach Xiangyu, but also to teach them together with the young lady. People are fooled.

When Nanny Li said this, Xiangyu naturally wouldn't be angry, and quickly pouted and said, "I don't have the ability to judge people, but you haven't taught me, Mommy! In the future, don't say that learning these things is useless , You don’t have to learn to be like those girls, who are so scheming, and you don’t have to do more needlework like a young lady, and learn how to deal with people. Now it seems that you may have miscalculated.”

Nanny Li looked at Xiangyu who was coquettishly complaining to her with a funny face, and felt that the daughter-in-law here was really well raised since she was a child, caring!Then he smiled and said: "Okay, your mouth is almost hanging on the oil bottle, what kind of words do people look like, by the way, I have something Qingfeng bought for you in my bag, take it out and have a look, but like?"

It should be said that Qingfeng and Xiangtao have never met each other, but they know that Xiangtao is attached to everything. If you have something good, remember to leave a copy for Xiangtao. For this, Li Mama eats it Some vinegar, but fortunately, the taro was brought up by herself, otherwise it would be really easy for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along.

Xiangyu was overjoyed when she heard Mammy said that Brother Qingfeng had brought something for her, but she was a girl after all, and Mammy was her mother-in-law. He asked: "Mommy, brother Qingfeng is at home! How is he living alone? Well, there is no one at home to cook delicious food for him. You rushed back in a hurry, brother Qingfeng is afraid I haven't eaten anything you cooked well."

Seeing Xiangtao's heart aching for her son, Madam Li is still upset, but she can't say that she actually didn't go home today and didn't see her son. These things were sent to the farm by Qingfeng early in the morning for his father to give them to him , I had to smile and comforted: "It's okay, he is a big man, you are afraid that he will be hungry! It's not that he doesn't have money in his hand. There are many restaurants in Beijing. We can't afford big restaurants, but only small ones." You can still go a few times a month, so don’t worry.”

Xiangyu only knew whether Brother Qingfeng was an apprentice or a boy in the shop, and thought that he might not have much money, and she kept thinking that she would do more sewing to subsidize Brother Qingfeng. It would be nice to have the same monthly money as counting, even for a third-class girl, she can have five hundred cash per month, so she can save more than half of it for Brother Qingfeng.

At this point, Xiangyu has always felt that she is a drag on the young lady. If there is no one like her who has no monthly money and allowances, the young lady will not have to live in such poverty. The deeds are considered Miss's own people, so their monthly money and allowances have to be paid by the Miss herself. To put it bluntly, the nanny is really serving the Miss, but she has nothing to do with herself, and the Miss is supporting her.

But Xiangyu knew what kind of money the young lady had, and those monthly money were worth two or two taels, and the daily hair oil powder was distributed by the mansion on a monthly basis. No one would believe anyone who told the young lady that her life was not good. But they are often deducted, so don’t buy it again by yourself, and they only use one month’s money for three people, so the money left is limited, and we have to prevent one of the three of them from getting sick and have to see a doctor to take medicine. Miss, these two taels of monthly money is really not much!

So because of his inability to earn money, Xiangyu has been feeling aggrieved, worried about Brother Qingfeng and feeling guilty about Miss Yu, and doesn't want to hear from the nanny today that Brother Qingfeng can still earn some money, but he is happy in his heart, Brother Qingfeng doesn't need it. It's good to be hungry, so I nodded and said: "This way I can rest assured, neither of us have monthly money, and the young lady has no extra money, even if we have, we have to be in case there is any emergency in the future, but we can't have spare money to subsidize brother Qingfeng .”

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted angrily by Nanny Li, who patted her on the shoulder and said angrily, "Thank you for thinking of giving Qingfeng the young lady's spare money. What is it, it would be bad if the young lady knew about it."

Seeing Xiangyu looking at herself unconvinced after speaking, Nanny Li sighed and explained: "I know you want to say that Miss will not, and I also know that Miss will not care about money for this idea, but we can't do this Don't think so, although Miss and we don't separate each other, and trust me to take care of all the money, but the more Miss is like this, the more we have to keep good things for Miss, even if it is only a penny, it is also the master Yes, we dare not be good at it.”

Speaking of these, Nanny Li feels more and more that it is necessary to teach Xiangyu what she should understand as a servant. Even in the future, when she gets married and manages her own family, she must know the difference between a master and a servant, but she cannot be raised. Becoming a young lady who doesn't know the world will bring troubles to Qingfeng in the future, but this child has such thoughts for her son's sake. Although she shouldn't have such thoughts, she has good intentions, Madam Li After all, I didn't want to train her very much.

In fact, Xiangyu knows the duty of a servant, but firstly, she really feels sorry for Brother Qingfeng, and secondly, she doesn't want to use anything else from Miss, only the money in Nanny's hand, she thinks I use less, and save my share to post to Brother Qingfeng, but I didn't want to use Miss, maybe she didn't make it clear and misunderstood it, which caused Mammy to reprimand.

Xiangyu knew that Mammy said she was doing it for her own good, but she wasn't angry. She was afraid that Mammy would be worried about her, so she hurriedly explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Mammy, I understand in my heart, what you say is not about having a relationship with the young lady but about wanting to I keep my duty, I may not have made it clear just now, I said that I have spare money, not Miss's spare money, but I want to save some expenses myself to subsidize brother Qingfeng, but I figured it out now, I just saved it The expenses are also Miss's, so don't use them at your own discretion."

Mother Li didn't want Xiangyu to understand so well, but she underestimated this girl every day, so she could rest assured that when the two children got married in the future, Xiangyu would be able to support her, so she smiled and said: "Okay, you are a good boy, and you have lived up to Mammy's painstaking efforts. Just keep these words in your heart. If the young lady hears it, I'm afraid you will be sad."
