Chapter 88 New Year's Eve
Man Xiu spoke with a smile in his eyes. In addition, he himself was handsome and deeply liked by his mother. Now what he said was affectionate and reasonable, and he also said that their reunion was a blessing for them. He was very happy in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Don't play over it." Qi's mother turned around and left, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
After Qi's mother left, the most embarrassing thing was Man Xiu. He reluctantly smiled at Xue'er, but only changed back to the word "liar". Alas! Isn't it to be a liar to save your life? And it's not to protect himself, because the manor stipulates that as long as the servant fights privately, no matter who is right or wrong, as long as he does it, he will be immediately treated as fat. He has been in the Hundred Flowers Museum for many years. Although he rejects the word rules, it is still a must-read. But Cher is different. Except for Huang's mother's seeming to have mentioned this word, she doesn't know the content of it at all. She didn't know that someone knew that Yuqing and Yunxuan had repeatedly pulled Xue'er to sit down. Unfortunately, Xue'er didn't know that she had just been saved by Manxiu.
The three of them sat down, but Man Xiu was in a dilemma. If you want to leave, there is no seat. Cher and Lin Yuqing are still staring at him and want to stay with these three, and how about him? But at this time, Yunxuan said, "Since we can meet here, it's also fate. Let's spend New Year's Eve together here." Yuqing knew that Yunxuan was a little grateful for Manxiu's intention to save Xue'er's life just now, but Xue'er didn't know and said, "Who wants to eat at the same table with him? We have to sit down to eat. He squat!"
Squatting? This word is used, treat him as a dog or something! Xue'er didn't make a decision without saying that. After saying that, Manxiu generously chose a seat and sat down. However, for his own safety, he chose the farthest seat from the three.
Seeing that Man Xiu chose the farthest seat from him and sat down, Xue'er didn't feel proud and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
"Who is afraid of you!"
"Don't be afraid of me, why did you go so far to sit?"
"I like this place to ward off evil spirits and won't be stained by dirty things!"
It's obvious that this is talking about Xueer's evil spirit, dirty things! Cher is not stupid. Seeing Man Xiu's expression, she remembered that she called herself a crazy old sow, and she was even more angry.
"You...!"
"Xueer, calm down! Look at the fireworks on New Year's Eve today, how beautiful it is!" Yunxuan had to change the topic.
"Hmm!" Xue'er stared at Manxiu and followed her sister's point and looked at the fireworks. After looking at it for a while, Xue Er turned around again and asked Yunxuan, "Sister, what did they want to do with you just now?"
"Oh, I forgot if you didn't tell me. This is it. Just because I saved a peony of the owner, I was rewarded. With that, Yunxuan took out two gold ingots from the cuffs.
Cher glanced at it. Obviously, as her, she would not pay attention to these things outside her body, and even felt a little disgusted when she looked at it. Appreciation? Fang Ziyan is also worthy!
At this moment, I heard a shout from behind: "Yo, it turns out that you guys are sitting here. It's easy to find me!" Although there are bursts of firecrackers, it can still be distinguished that this is Huang Ma's voice.
From the time Huang's mother received the money given by Lin's brother, Xue'er felt that she was not a good person. In addition, she flattered in front of the landlord and looked in front of the servants. Xue'er was even more disgusted when she saw her. But after all, this is Ziyan Manor, and Huang Ma is the person in charge of assigning tasks here. No matter how dissatisfied she is, she can't suffer immediate losses. Therefore, Xueer still stood up with Lin Yuqing and Yunxuan.
"Huang Ma came to us, but what's the matter?"
"Ha ha, it brings you good news!"
Ah? What?" The sound of firecrackers was a little deafening, and Huang's mother repeated loudly: "Good news!"
Good news? I can hear it accurately this time. What good news can we have here!
"Please teach me!"
"Miss Yunxuan was taken in by the owner and transferred to the owner's inner room from tomorrow!"
This is also good news! Maybe in Huang's mother's opinion, being transferred to the owner is a promotion!
"Also, Miss Xue'er will be the foreman of the garden from tomorrow!"
"Ah?"
"I said, Miss Xueer, you will be the foreman of the garden from tomorrow!" Huang's mother whispered against Xue'er's ear. The sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve is even louder.
Yi'er just saw that the landlord had rewarded Yunxuan and specially ordered her to transfer Yunxuan to her side. Usually, she received a lot of money from Lin Yuqing in the name of Yunxuan and Xue'er, and Xue'er was exactly Yunxuan's sister. She took the opportunity to promote Xue'er as the foreman and asked her to supervise the people in the garden to work. First, she came to please Yunxuan and let her This new favorite of the landlord can say a few words for her in front of the owner, and secondly, it is also to ask for credit. Let people see that they are not people who don't do anything for nothing. Of course, more importantly, you should still show off your power, you see! In this garden, I can do whatever I want!
"Thank you for the love of the landlord and Huang Ma. We should do our best to serve the manor." Seeing that her sister was a little stunned, Cher couldn't help taking the words over. This is also because there are many things in the officialdom, and I unconsciously learned it. It's just that the word was changed and the court was changed to a manor.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it has become another manifestation of servility. Especially Man Xiu, I thought that this girl always frowned at herself and often forced her by force, but this is not the case in front of Huang's mother! It can be seen that people should be majestic and have sufficient objective conditions to allow. But when I think about it, I used to swallow my anger in the Hundred Flowers Museum, which is not much better than the current Xue'er. In the end, I actually laughed 50 steps and a hundred steps. I'm really crazy.
"Okay, if there is anything you need, you can say it at any time. I still have this right." Just as Huang's mother turned around and was about to leave, Xue'er turned her eyes and said, "Huang's mother, take a step to speak!" With that, he pulled Huang Ma aside, but took the two golden ingots that the Zhuangzhu had just awarded to Yunxuan.
"Mother Huang, although we haven't been here for a few days, we have to take care of you a lot. I really appreciate it. I'm careful and don't respect you. Please accept it." If Man Xiu also hears Xue'er's official words like this, he must have sighed again. As soon as Huang's mother saw that it was Yuanbao, her already small eyes immediately smiled into a crack, but her mouth said, "What's wrong with this?"
"I heard that Huang's mother has the highest status in this manor. I'm new here and don't know the rules. I have to ask Huang's mother to take care of it in the future. Don't refuse any more. Take it."
I can't see that the flattery of Xue'er's little mouth is still heard. In Ziyan Manor, although Huang's mother and Qi's mother are in their respective positions and sit on an equal footing on the surface, she is actually competing secretly. Today, I heard Xue'er say that she is the highest status here except for the owner. Although she has modest and polite words, she has long been floating. He was no longer polite, took the ingot and quietly put it into his sleeve.
"Huang's mother, Xue'er has something to ask for! In this garden, it can't be done by Huang's mother.
Huang's mother became more complacent when she heard that she couldn't do it. I unconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"
"In fact, it is difficult to say, and it is easy to say. The difficulty is for us, and for Huang Ma, it is just a matter of one sentence. Ask Huang's mother for help."
"Say it." After receiving people's money, you should do something for others, not to mention just a matter of one sentence.
After that, Xue'er whispered something in Huang's mother's ear. When she said it, Huang's mother looked at Manxiu from time to time. After listening, Huang's mother said, "Why is this so difficult!" After being thanked by Xue'er again, he left with a smile.
Xue'er returned to her seat and was very proud, but Man Xiu always ignored them. They ate their own food, enjoyed fireworks, kept the New Year, and came to the new year.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, I opened the window and saw that it turned out to be a silvery world. It has been snowing since the banquet broke up this morning. In the middle of the night, a thick layer has accumulated on the ground. Man Xiu quickly put on his coat and ran out of the door. The snow was still falling, and Man Xiu stretched out his hands to welcome the aura between heaven and earth. He saw snowflakes falling in his hands and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Finally, what was left was moist and cool like dew.
Just as Manxiu enjoyed the comfort brought to him by the world alone, he saw a man coming towards him, a girl named Qian'er beside Huang Ma.
"Sister Qian'er!" Man Xiu took the lead in greeting her, because on the first day he came, when he was assigned to the pharmacy to crush the medicine, he was led by Qian'er. Although he didn't say a few words, he was also one of the few people he knew at Ziyan Manor.
"I'm looking for you! I'm afraid that you went to the pharmacy early in the morning and rushed all the way.
"Last night, I drank more, and then I got up. Is there something wrong with your sister?
"Ye, last night, Huang's mother told me to transfer you to the garden from today and move your residence. I wanted to tell you immediately, but several sisters pulled me to play for a while, but when I remembered to look for you, you had already had a banquet. It's not too late to come to tell you this morning, but I also think that you are the first to go to the pharmacy every day, and then make a big detour to find you. I'm afraid that Huang's mother will blame me for being unfavorable and delaying the work in the garden.
"Oh, you've worked so hard, sister!" For Man Xiu, it's the same everywhere.
"In that case, you don't have to go to the pharmacy today. You can also take the sign of this residence, and I will ask someone to send you everything later. Just go to the garden and find a Du leader, and she will arrange for you.
"Okay, thank you for your effort!"
After Qian'er left, Man Xiu went to the garden. I came a little earlier, and there was no one in the garden. Walking in the garden full of flowers and snow, it has a unique flavor. If it weren't for Man Xiu who still had to find his mother and the determination to find out the truth about his father's death, I'm afraid it would be a good choice to live here for a lifetime.
