Chapter 77 Rectify the atmosphere

Leng Shuang thought carefully before she said, "Three years ago, I was one-on-one with her, and I won three moves, but now I don't know."

"Three moves are enough." Qin Yunuan took a loose bun and only looked at the snow tree and plum blossoms outside. It seemed that the weather was about to snow.

Two days later, a goose-like snow really fell. It was a rare winter in Daqi. Two news came out of the palace. One was that the third prince Sima Rui felt disaster-came and couldn't bear it. He took the initiative to go to the imperial mausoleum to offer incense for his ancestors. The second was Shangguan after Jin and Princess got married. Yuan was awarded the title of Duke of the State.

"It's shameless to sell your daughter for a title." Xi'er is holding the last silk thread for Qin Yunuan. A picture of cranes will be completed, but this eye still can't find the right silk thread. It's too impetuous to use crow blue, and too dark and too dull.

"He may not be able to take this title at ease. Why do you worry about him?" Qin Yunuan glanced at Xi'er. Xi'er was fine, but she was a little careless, some like Tong'er in the past. Qin Yunuan frowned and asked that such things as Tong'er would not happen again. In the eventful past, she could no longer stand betrayal.

There was a few noise outside the yard, like a group of daughters gathered to discuss something. Qin Yunuan looked out and saw a familiar figure. She frowned and asked Man'er beside her, "Mother Liao looks very busy these days."

Man'er couldn't help frowning and prevaricate, "Yes, now that the third young lady has become prominent, there is no less flattering in the royal palace. Liao's mother is the first leader in our yard, and those little maids are naturally competing to win it."

"I'm afraid it's more than that," Xi'er said angrily, "where is it just to please now? I heard that Liao's mother only arranged two third-class maids to enter our yard yesterday and let me take good care of them. Those two maids were not good at doing things. Most of them were Liao's mother who received benefits.

Xi'er's mouth was open, and she was naturally uncomfortable with some friendship with Liao's mother, but Xi'er's words were true, and she only nod her head and echoed, "It's true that there is this matter. I've heard of it."

Qin Yunuan twisted the last thread with scissors, and the whole crane picture was only missing the crane's eyes and loosened his sore shoulders. Qin Yunuan ordered, "Go and bring those two third-class maids in for me."

"Three young ladies." Man'er advised, "Why are you so angry with those two unknown young men? Just teach me a lesson."

Qin Yunuan shook her head: "After all, they were also introduced by Liao's mother. Don't you learn a lesson? Isn't it because of Liao's mother? Now it's windy and waves outside. I have to let the people in the yard know that since I work in my yard, my eyes and ears are cleaner."

Man nodded and answered. After a while, the two third-class maids were taken away. Obviously, the third-class maids who were helping in the kitchen, but the material on her body was very plain, and there were no sweat stains and oil stains. The white-bottomed mandarin duck embroidered shoes on their feet were not stained at all, and the plain silver hairpins on their heads was better than listening. Both the snow and the whole head are good.

Qin Yunuan looked up and down at the two, suddenly smiled, only motioned Man'er, and then turned back into the inner room.

Man'er immediately greeted the two people in the yard with a smile. She pointed to a pile of wood as high as a hill and said to the two maids, "Recently, our young lady has a hobby and likes to listen to the sound of choping wood to take a nap. Today, I will give you a good job. Remember, chop well. The third young lady can't stop choking wood without getting up. Xi'er will look at you."

Xi'er smiled and handed two blunt firewood knives to the two maids: "Yes, remember, chop well."

The two maids looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything.

The sound of chopping firewood outside was endless. In the cold winter, the two maids quickly sweated heavily. Their sweaty clothes pressed against their backs. When the wind blew, it was even more bitterly cold. In the room, Qin Yunuan was tasting a warm cup of sour jujube soup. Recently, her appetite was really more and more tricky. What was her favorite. What, even the sour dates in this jujube soup are several times more than usual.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a soft knock on the door outside. It was full of people who went out to open the door. The sophisticated and hoarse voice knew it was Liao's mother as soon as they heard it.

"Has the young lady got up?"

"Not yet? The young grandma has become more and more sleepy recently, and it's not that you don't know about Liao's mother.

"Yo, it's been this hour. After sleeping for a long time, I'm afraid it's not good for your health."

"Full of laughter, doesn't she understand Liao's mother's thoughts? He just said, "Mother Liao, you and I are all slaves. How dare this master's mind guess at will?"

At this moment, there was a scream from outside.

"Oh, Sister Chen Xiang cut her hand. Oh, there's a lot of blood."

This one called Chen Xiang is the slightly taller one of the two maids, which looks delicate.

Liao's mother was about to continue to deal with Man'er, but Qin Yunuan had stood neatly at the door. She folded her hands in front of the exquisite jade in the middle of her belt and told Liao's mother clearly that she was the owner of the yard.

"What's wrong? It's noisy."

"Go back to the third young lady," Xi'er, who supervised the two maids to chop wood, came in and said, "It was the maid named Chen Xiang who split the firewood to her finger. It's okay, but she just broke a little finger."

But a little finger was broken?

Liao's mother trembled and looked at Qin Yunuan with some horror, but she saw Qin Yunuan looking down her eyes indifferently and only looking at the emerald bracelet in her hand: "Oh, it turned out to be a trivial matter. Just give her ten taels of silver to send her home, but I really don't remember when it was in the yard. There is an extra maid named Chen Xiang. Qin Yu glanced at Liao's mother, "Mother Liao, do you know?"

"servant...servant..." Liao's mother staggered a little, but the two maids had already begged to Liao's mother in the yard, "Mother Liao, I have given you all the property. You promised to protect the maidservant's glory and wealth. You also said that you can see more of the third young master in the third young lady's yard, and you will naturally get ahead at that time. , Mother Liao, can you help us?

"Nonsense!" Liao's mother immediately rushed over with a fierce face and slapped the maid in the face. "When did I say that? Don't I know what you coquettish hoofs are thinking every day? How can you have a chance to get in touch with the third young master?

"Mother Liao, how can you do this?" Chen Xiang burst into tears with her fingers. Although her family was full, in order to please the bribery, she took out all the things at the bottom of the box. Unexpectedly, Liao's mother would turn her face and not admit it like this. She was not afraid. "Mother Liao, you clearly said that even if you can't be accepted by the third young master, stay until the Qin family When I grow up, I also want to open a house. Did I give my twenty taels of silver for nothing? I have a receipt. Don't deny it.

Twenty taels, which is equivalent to Liao's mother's monthly silver for a year.

"Mother Liao, you even made the idea of the young master." Man'er couldn't help saying, "The young master is only six years old. Mother Liao, you are really confused."

Qin Yunuan slowly turned her eyes to her pale mother: "Mother Liao, what else do you have to say?"

Liao's mother quickly came forward, stopped Chen Xiang's hand from picking up the receipt, and then knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Yunuan: "Grandma, I'm always confused. I thought that Dashi is 24 years old this year and has never married. I also want to keep some betrothal gift money for Dashi."

"Then what's the name of those words you put outside?" Man'er asked, "You told the outside world that no matter how big the new mother is, she is just a step-in-law's room. After all, this family will still be handed over to the third young lady. Do you know that there is such a rumor in the house before the bride enters the house. Don't you want to pick the unhappy between Miss Sun and the third young lady?"

"servant...servant..."

"Okay," Qin Yunuan doesn't want to be involved. "Mother Liao, from today on, you will give the key in your hand to Man'er, and the steward and pick people will be handed over to Ting Xue. You don't need to serve in the yard for the time being. Go home first and think about what to do in the future. Think about it and then come back."

This is equivalent to refrigerating Liao's mother in disguise, but Qin Yunuan was the master. After saying anything, Liao's mother held her breath and went down. The people in the yard immediately dispersed. The two little maids were also sent out of the house. Man'er and Ting Xue soon put the unclean people in the yard. He picked a clean head and sent it back to the original place. Anyone who did something wrong was punished to the back seat, or he was directly sent out of the royal palace.

After checking, I didn't know that when Qin Yunuan was busy with things in the palace, Liao's mother had done so many tamperings in private, especially the firewood room and kitchen, and the number of people was one-third less at once, but it was also good that the ones left were carefully selected by Man'er and Ting Xuejing, and they were also easy to do things. Honest.

After a short time of incense, in the upper room of the largest and most luxurious inn in the capital, a woman was drawing her eyebrows with a charcoal brush, and her face was already a national fragrance. After listening carefully to the maid's return, a trace of beauty appeared on the corners of her mouth, and her tone was a little disdainful: "I thought this How capable Princess Ping is, it turns out that even the people under him can't stand it. Oh, so, what am I afraid of?"

"The eldest girl is wise." The maid around him immediately echoed.

The woman raised her charming eyes slightly: "Yes, what you just said. The wet nurse surnamed Liao beside Princess Ping was sent home to think about it. Where does she live?"
