Chapter 8 Mistake
M Mother Zhou stood by the sedan chair and was a little surprised to see Mu Qingya coming out: "Miss, are you going back?"
"Well, back!"
Sitting in the sedan chair, Mother Zhou quickly put down the curtain of the sedan chair and hurriedly shouted "to get up the sedan chair", as if she was afraid that Mu Qingya would suddenly repent!
Mother Zhou is Qin Yue's wet nurse. Previously, she had a child and a girl, but she died of illness when she was five years old. Her husband was addicted to gambling and his leg was broken because of debts. Not long after she died of illness. After she was sad for a while, she was dedicated to serving Qin Yue and was also very respected by her. After Mu Qingya was born, she was sent to serve, but Mu Qingya was stubborn and unrestrained. Mother Zhou was very unpopular with her! She had persuaded before that such a party was not polite and would be criticized, but at that time, Mu Qingya's heart was on Song Mingyu, and she couldn't listen to it! Today, when I saw that she took the initiative to ask to go back, Mother Zhou was naturally very happy!
After returning home, Mu Qingya went to say good regards to Qin Yue and talked about saving the next girl. Qin Yue has always been soft-hearted and loves Mu Qingya very much, so she didn't say anything. She just told Mother Zhou to pay close attention to that girl, and don't be unclean or treacherous!
After having tea with Qin Yue and chatting for a few words, Mu Qingya returned to her yard! As soon as I entered the courtyard door, I saw the music piano kneeling straight under the steps of the room! His head was sweaty and his face was pale. Obviously, he had been kneeling for a long time!
Mu Qingya walked over and passed by Leqin without any pause.
Entering the room, changed some clothes, and let Minglan carefully wait for her to freshen up. While listening to the maid talk about Zhou Yuhua's situation, "Miss, the girl you rescued has woken up. The doctor said that she was just a skin trauma. She fainted because she was frightened, leaving medicinal herbs and said that she would be fine after eating for a few days!"
"Well, I see. You go down. I'll have a look later!"
The maid quickly retreated! I was relieved when I left the door of the room. In the face of Mu Qingya, I always felt like a mountain in my heart, and I didn't even dare to speak loudly!
Minglan inserted a white jade begonia hairpin into Mu Qingya's hair and said hesitantly, "Miss, Sister Leqin arrived soon after you went out and knelt down until now..."
Mu Qingya didn't make a sound, but Minglan felt that the pressure on her body was getting greater and greater. She couldn't help but hear the heartbeat of her chest pounding!
Suddenly, Mother Zhou's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, the maid Zhou Yuhua you saved heard that you came back and wanted to thank you personally. She has arrived at the door!
"Let her in! Tell Leqin to have tea!"
"Yes!"
M Mother Zhou, who was scared by the sudden sound, trembled and quickly retreated aside and breathed a gentle sigh of relief. Miss asked Sister Leqi to serve tea, which seemed to forgive her. Zhou Yuhua didn't let anyone help him. He staggered into the room and knelt heavily on the ground and clapped his head: "Zhou Yuhua thanked Miss Mu for saving her life!"
"You're welcome, Minglan helped her up!"
Minglan hurried over to get Zhou Yuhua up, but she didn't expect that she didn't want to get up at all.
"Miss saved my life. I should have been a cow and a horse to repay the young lady. There should be no more extravagant requests, but the little woman is really in a difficult situation now. I hope the young lady can temporarily take her in and save the little girl's life!"
At this time, Leqin came in and said, "Miss, tea!"
"Hmm." Mu Qingya picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This tea is good!"
"This was sent by my wife in the morning. She said that Biluochun had just received it this year, and a total of half a catty was sent for the lady to taste!"
Seeing that Mu Qingya nodded and had no other instructions, Leqin quickly bowed and retreated aside! Hongling knelt on the ground and was a little confused. When she heard the master's order to come to her side in the name of Zhou Yuhua, she was surprised! As Duanmu Lingyu's confidant, although she was strange, she still obeyed the order to perform the play, but she didn't expect Mu Qingya to react like this! Think about it, if she hadn't jumped in front of the sedan chair on the street, I'm afraid she would have bypassed! Didn't you say that these boudoirs are the most soft-hearted? Why does she feel that Mu Qingya is different from others?
"Miss Mu..." Hongling raised her head and pleaded.
"What's your name?" Mu Qingya put down the teacup.
"My name is Zhou Yuhua!"
Mu Qingya looked at Zhou Yuhua, who was kneeling on the ground, with plain eyes: "Really? As far as I know, Zhou Yuhua is the daughter of Zhou Xiong, the former county magistrate. Are you going to tell me that you are Zhou Yuhua who was served as a slave?
Hongling's heart trembled and couldn't tell what Mu Qingya meant. She could only answer, "Miss Mu, my father Zhou Xiong was framed. He did not embezzle taxes and silver. It was those traitors who framed Qing officials!"
"Presumptuous!" Mu Qingya stood up and shouted fiercely, "Who do you think you are? As an official slave, don't you know your identity? How dare you call yourself 'I', what a bold slave! With this, Miss Ben can pull you out and beat you to death! The emperor's kindness did not kill your Zhou family. You not only did not know how to be grateful, but also shouted injustice! Your father's case was decided by the magistrate himself and ruled by the emperor himself! How can you talk nonsense!"
"Miss, listen to me, my father is really wronged!" I didn't expect Mu Qingya to have such a reaction, so Hongling had to keep shouting injustice!
"Bold and cheap maidservant, how dare you believe in her mouth, music and palm!" Without listening to Hongling's words, Mu Qingya ordered directly.
"Yes!" Leqin walked to Hongling and had two maids pressing her arm, one left and one right. For a moment, there was only a crisp applause in the room! The maid who served her lowered her head deeply and dared not breathe!
"Miss Mu!" Hongling's voice suddenly rose, and her eyes were full of perseverance and unyielding light! Mu Qingya waved her hand and stopped Leqin: "What, do you have anything else to say?"
"Miss Mu, why insult me like this if you don't want to help me? My father has been in office for six years. How many good deeds and strength have been done? The people praise and have a good reputation! Linjiang broke the embankment, and my father personally took the people to rescue overnight. He didn't close his eyes for five days and five nights, and he was directly tired to spit blood and fainted. He dared to ask how such a clean official could embezzle the hard-earned money of the people! When my father was alive, he praised Lord Mu Yi as a rare good official. He was selfless and upright. Miss Mu was also taught by Lord Mu and knew how to avenge the people! Isn't Miss Mu not only unwilling to help me, but also beat me to death?"
Mu Qingya smiled and said, "Ha ha, to avenge the people? You are not the young lady of the Zhou family or ordinary people now. You are just a little slave, and you dare to call it the people's revenge? Besides, why did you complain about the grievances?"
Hongling knelt straight on the ground and stared at Mu Qingya's view: "Although I, Zhou Yuhua, am a slave, I am also the daughter of Zhou Xiong, a former county magistrate. Why should I avenge my father?"
"Leqin will stay, and the rest will retreat!" Mu Qingya ignored Hongling's words and drove the servants out!
Layers of cold sweat oozed behind Hongling. Originally, I thought it was a simple task, but I didn't expect to encounter many twists and turns! Looking at the waveless eyes of the ancient well, a trace of uneasiness slowly rose in my heart!
After a long silence, Mu Qingya finally made a sound, but the words were to Leqin standing aside: "Leqin, do you know what's wrong today?"
"Yes, the maidservant knows what's wrong!" Leqin knelt next to Hongling, kowtowed respectfully and said, "The maidservant is the lady's servant. Her words and deeds represent the lady's deignity. Before, Leqin was too good or wrong!"
Mu Qingya sighed: "Leqin, you are the big maid around me. I don't want you to be timid and afraid of things. I don't want you to be servile. Although you are a maid, you are the maid beside me! You should advance and retreat moderately. If you grasp this degree, no one can grasp your mistake. The more you are, the more you pay attention to the rules. There is no reason to kill the maid for no reason! How to make you unable to catch your mistakes depends on your ability! Do you understand?"
Leqin was shocked and her eyes were full of excitement: "Yes, Miss, Leqin will work hard to grasp this degree and never bother you!" Big maid? Since she was rescued by Mu Qingya, she directly signed the death deed and sold it to the Mu family without thinking of having another chance to go out! Her father has taught her to repay kindness since she was a child. Mu Qingya is her lifesaver, and she should serve her all her life! But Miss always didn't like her before, and she has always been distressed! Is it finally clear to see the moon?
Looking at Leqin's eyes, Mu Qingya's heart was shocked. She remembered her great maid, Green Yuan, the girl who was loyal to herself! She just gave her a meal, and she must recognize her as the master. From the Central Plains to Mobei, from Mobei to the imperial city, she has been following her! When she knelt down for three days in order to ask the doctor to treat her brother's illness, she climbed back to the house behind her back in the rain. When she was chased by the pursuers in Mobei, she even cut her wrists and fed her with blood. She left, and she didn't know what happened...
"Miss..." Leqin looked at Mu Qingya and muttered! After the young lady woke up from the water, her eyes remained flat, as if nothing could stir up any waves in those eyes, but just now, she clearly felt the sadness emanating from the young lady! That sadness is too complicated for her to understand, but she seems to be able to feel the pain deep into the bone marrow!
Mu Qingya came to her senses, and her emotions just now converged. It's useless to think too much about the past. She stood up and helped Leqin up in person, but her tone unconsciously softened a lot: "You go down to rest first, and let Minglan send you the blood circulation and remove blood stasis ointment later!"
"Yes, Miss!" Leqin restrained the tears in her eyes, bowed and retreated. Looking at the slender figure, she secretly swore in her heart that no matter why the young lady changed or what she would experience in the future, she would protect herself well!
Hongling doesn't know how to describe her mood now. Mu Qingya will never say those words for no reason and grasp a good degree. Is she not sure of the degree, so she reveals a flaw?
"Zhou Yuhua, since you asked me to take you as a maid, then don't use this name. Let's call it Leqi in the future! Seeing that you can speak well just now, you can't be raised by an ordinary family at first glance. In this case, please tell me about the situation in Jiangnan!"
That condescending sight made Hongling's face pale. Speaking of this, Mu Qingya must know her identity, but does she mean to keep herself? What on earth is she thinking...
"Miss Mu..."
Mu Qingya smiled gently: "Leqi, since you are my girl, learn the rules from Leqi. In a few days, Chen Wanxiang's father's birthday, she invited me to go there. Please prepare well. You can't take this injury out!"
Yes! Miss!"
