Southern Qi Fenghua Record

Xia Houshu saw Cuiyan's little action and couldn't help but sneer.

She had underestimated her before.

I thought that Cuiyan was just admiring vanity and greedy for petty gains. There was no major problem in other aspects, and it was not wrong to keep her by my side to serve her. I also hoped that one day I would be able to influence her with sincerity. Now I know that she is still a I just did something I didn't dare to do.She couldn't keep such a person.

It seems that my mother sometimes misses people.But how should I tell my mother about this?

Cuiyan didn't know that Xia Houshu was scrutinizing her at this moment, so she buried her head and cried, as if she had been greatly wronged.But her mind was spinning fast, thinking about Princess Xuanhe's reaction and Xia Houshu's attitude since the incident happened today, and thinking about how to get back to the original state.

She has served Xia Houshu for many years, and she also knows that Xia Houshu is not a scheming master. If she is really kicked out of Qingfeng Pavilion, no one in the entire Yue Kingdom will want her.Even though Princess Xuanhe left her in Songya Hall, in Songya Hall where there are so many talents, she can at most be a poor servant girl...

Xia Houshu waited for a long while without waiting for an explanation from Cuiyan, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Cuiyan, don't feel so wronged. If you want to talk about today's matter, you can talk about me. Why bother Yunxi? When you came to serve in my room, Yunxi helped you a lot. She shared with you all the benefits she had; she also helped cover up your mistakes. Do you still remember the jewelry you bought from me before? You took a silver hairpin in the box and gave it to your cousin as a dowry, right? You thought you did it without anyone noticing it, but Yunxi saw it all. It's just that she was worried that you would lose face if things got serious. I can't hold my head up with your cousin, and it's hard to gain a foothold in the mansion, so I took it down by myself, insisting that she accidentally lost it, and Yuhu fined her money for this."

Yuhu was stunned, so the truth was like this?Then should she give her the money that she confiscated Yunxi?You can't underestimate Cuiyan's cheap hoof, play with her to escape the shell, right?

Cuiyan paled in shock, looking at Xia Houshu with eyes full of fear, she even forgot to cry.

When her cousin got married, she promised to give her a hairpin to make up for the sake of appearance.But she went outside to look around, and found that a silver hairpin that was readily available cost several hundred cash, so she felt a little hesitant when she touched her purse.It happened that Xia Houshu had an exquisite silver hairpin in his jewelry box, because Xia Houshu didn't wear it very much before he was old enough, and he didn't care much about it at ordinary times.She thought this was a good opportunity, so she secretly hid it in her sleeve when no one noticed while tidying up the dressing table.Later, when Yuhu checked the jewelry, she found that it was missing. When she asked more questions, she pretended not to know, and in the end it was Yunxi who took the lead.

I didn't expect it to be moved out after two or three years.It turned out that it wasn't that I did it seamlessly, but that Yuhu's performance was lifelike.

Cuiyan went to sue Zhong Yuqing out of loyalty, but no matter how loyal she was, it couldn't cover up the fact that she stole Xia Houshu's hairpin.That silver hairpin was regarded as a treasure by her ignorant cousin, and she took it out to put on the hairpin from time to time!

Cuiyan really knew she was afraid this time.He hurriedly got up from the low couch, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and begged tearfully, "Girl, I was wrong! Please don't take me to report to the police!"

Xia Houshu sneered and said: "If I want to report to the police, I don't have to wait so many years. Originally, I also thought that what Yunxi said was reasonable. The reason is that you are a first-time offender, so I will save you face, so I don't know about it. But you never You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't involve Yunxi. There are some things that people are doing and God is watching. I hope you will keep in mind, don't pretend to be smart and treat others as fools."

Cuiyan has been ill since that day and can't even get out of bed.Within a few days, the nanny in charge brought her parents to pack her things and moved her out of the Qingfeng Pavilion. After that, Cuiyan never appeared in front of Xia Houshu again.Then Zhong Yuqing pointed out a maid named Qiaoling to be the grooming maid.

In exchange, there are people who come to watch her, but it's just new wine in a wine bottle.Xia Houshu smiled helplessly, and asked Yuhu to take Qiaoling to settle down.

In order to make Yunxi's face less swollen, Xia Houshu took her to Pei Lang to have a look.After she was sure that nothing happened and she would not lose her appearance, she felt relieved, and forced Pei Lang to prescribe some beauty plasters for Yunxi to take back and apply.

Arranging for Yunxi, the entanglement between her and Sister Fu Pei also needs to be settled.

Xia Houshu thought about it carefully. In the entire Yue Kingdom, there were many people who saw Madam Fu Pei target her, but no one told her the specific reason, and they all seemed to be blind.Instead of wasting time inquiring about people who can't figure out why, it's better to ask the right master directly.

Xia Houshu thought so in his heart, and unknowingly walked around to the courtyard where Aunt Fu Pei lived.

There were originally two other nuns living in this courtyard, they were envoys married with Zhong Yuqing from Prince Gong's mansion, and they were treated well in the mansion.Later, the other two female envoys got married and had children when they got old. As they got older, the children in the family saved some silver and bought houses and land outside.Zhong Yuqing was grateful for their hard work in serving her all her life, so she returned the deeds to them, allowing them to be free.Only Nanny Fu Pei was never married, and her brothers and sisters had already become families and could not be relied on, so she continued to stay in the mansion, living here alone, until a few years ago, she took in a clever maidservant as her daughter , with her day and night.

The moon hangs on the treetops like a curved silver hook, and the hazy night covers the earth with a layer of veil. The light reflected by the lights in the house is connected with the stars in the sky, which is quiet and beautiful.There was a faint yellow candlelight on the window paper of Aunt Fu Pei, and the sound of scolding came from inside the room, as if Aunt Fu Pei was reprimanding her goddaughter again.

Aunt Fu Pei's goddaughter was originally named Lu Hua, but now she is only twelve or thirteen years old.Lu Hua was originally a fisherman's daughter. Because her parents sank a boat while fishing, she was taken in by her uncle when she was young and helpless. Passing merchants.Later, the businessman got into trouble and owed her debts, and sold her to Ren Yazi, and Ren Yazi sold her to the Duke of Yue's mansion several times to work as a servant girl.Sister Fu Pei saw that she had a pitiful background, was upright in appearance, and clever, so she recognized her as her goddaughter.

Later, Zhong Yuqing felt that the name "Luhua" was not good, and it sounded like a wandering and helpless feeling, so she gave her a new name, Caiwei.

Caiwei was less than ten years old when she first came to the Duke’s Mansion. Probably because of her unfortunate experience, she always hesitates when she speaks and does things, so she will push back and forth when asked to do something, for fear of offending anyone who will be punished. She is very young. But especially many.But ever since she had the backing of Sister Fu Pei, Caiwei became more courageous.On the one hand, she pretended to be obedient and served Madam Fu Pei properly, and on the other hand, relying on being the goddaughter of Madam Fu Pei, she pretended to be a tiger in front of other servants, using Qiao as a gesture, and even the maid in Xiahouyi's room Yingdu has suffered from her frustration.

At the beginning, Sister Fu Pei didn't know what Caiwei was doing. Every time she heard someone talking about Caiwei, she tried her best to defend her like an old hen, and even offended many old people in the mansion until Caiwei stole She didn't realize it until she got Xia Houyi's personal sweat towel.

Stealing the owner's property is a big taboo, according to the family rules, you will be sent to report to the government, not to mention that Caiwei, a young woman who steals a man's personal belongings, is not an exaggeration to be kicked out of the house.But Zhong Yuqing considered that Aunt Fu Pei was alone and finally recognized a daughter, so she only asked Aunt Fu Pei to take care of Caiwei carefully and forbid her to approach Xia Houyi's yard again.

Over the past year or so, Caiwei seems to have changed a lot. Not only does she work hard, but she also does her best to serve Aunt Fu Pei. Even Zhong Yuqing praised her as a child who can be taught, and there is nothing wrong with it. .However, Xia Houshu and Aunt Fu Pei do not like to see each other on weekdays, and never pay attention to her goddaughter Caiwei, but I heard that Xieying complained to Yunxi in private, saying that Caiwei doesn't remember to eat or beats, and she will go to bed every now and then. Wander around Chunxi's residence, and run away when you see anyone.

This time I don't know what happened to Caiwei again, and she was reprimanded by Fu Pei for a long time without daring to reply.

The door was not closed, Xia Houshu stood at the door for a while, thinking that he is the master of the Duke of Yue, there is no need to be intimidated, even going to the servant's room, he has to look at other people's faces, so he walked in .

The pineapple wood furniture in the room has a sense of age, but they are all polished and spotless.Caiwei was the first to discover her, and hurriedly bowed to salute, and timidly called "Third Miss".

Sister Fu Pei's expression darkened upon hearing this, and she waved her hand to signal Caiwei to go out first.

Caiwei bowed respectfully to Sister Fu Pei, then withdrew.When passing by, Xia Houshu obviously heard Caiwei take a deep breath, and seemed to feel relieved at last.

Although Sister Fu Pei is a domestic servant, because she is a person close to Zhong Yuqing, her status is also more noble, and she usually looks at people above her head, and she is even more unhappy when she sees Xia Houshu.While looking at Xia Houshu, she said straight to the point with a cold face: "It's so late, what's the matter with the girl coming to this old slave?"

Xia Houshu didn't answer her in a hurry, but carefully looked around the furnishings in the room.All yellow pear wood furniture, all kinds of small objects are placed just right, many of which Xia Houshu had seen at his mother Zhong Yuqing's, the colors are simple and elegant, seemingly simple, but they are full of elegance.Those who didn't know thought they went to some old lady's house.

She found a pineapple chair with the upper end and sat down, then she set her eyes on Aunt Fu Pei, and said softly: "I have lived in the mansion for seven years, and I don't know that Auntie lives so well."

Sister Fu Pei didn't intend to ponder the meaning of her words, and she was not polite, so she said: "This old slave is a straightforward person, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, girl, please speak up."

Xia Houshu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Nurse is indeed a straightforward person who can't turn a corner, otherwise she wouldn't have forgotten that I am also the master of the Duke's Mansion of Yue."

Aunt Fu Pei didn't pretend to be stupid, she looked straight at Xia Houshu and asked: "Miss, do you mean that this old servant doesn't regard you as the master of the Duke of Yue?"

"Isn't it?" Xia Houshu asked back.

"Miss is naturally the master of the Duke's Mansion of the Yue Kingdom." Aunt Fu Pei spoke calmly.

It's true that she is the master, but did Sister Fu Pei ever regard her as the master?

"But I don't think you regard me as your master." Xia Houshu also looked directly into the eyes of Aunt Fu Pei, trying to see some mystery from her expression.

Sure enough, Fu Pei's mother suddenly sneered, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Young lady is the master of the Duke's mansion of Yue, but the only master of this old servant is the princess!"

Xia Houshu understood what she said, and had nothing to refute. After all, Madam Fu Pei was originally a servant of Prince Kung's Mansion, and accompanied Zhong Yuqing to marry the Duke of Yue.She nodded and continued to ask in another way: "Nurse, I am only 15 years old now, and I have not lived in this mansion for a long time. I ask myself that I have never offended you, so why do you always fight against me?"
