The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 31

[Chapter 31 New Year’s Eve (2)]

The New Year gift from Hebei this time, in addition to Gongzhong’s, the old lady and Yuchen have additional gifts. The old lady’s longevity cane is made of an extremely rare and precious wood, which is only available in Chengde, Hebei. Its wood is white and flawless, as delicate as jade, and has the reputation of false ivory.

What Yuchen got was also a wood-carved flower and bird picture hanging screen. The flowers and birds on this hanging screen seemed to be alive, and the carving was extremely fine.

Yuchen got this thing and liked it very much, not only was this thing ingenious, but more importantly, it was given by her father. In recent years, Yuchen will receive gifts during New Years and festivals, as well as birthdays. Every time she got something, Yuchen would hang it up, and this time was no exception.

Oak-hee has Hongshan, the ear-reporting god, and she is very clear about the important affairs of the mansion. So she quickly knew that Yuchen got a hanging screen.

Hongshan didn’t want to talk about it originally. The third girl got a gift from the master, but her girl didn’t have anything. The girl knew that it must be uncomfortable. It’s just that Oak-hee wanted to ask, but she couldn’t do it without saying it.

In her last life, Yuxi was sad about this for a long time, but now she doesn’t take it to heart at all: “There is nothing rare in the capital, as long as you have money, you can buy it, just say this in front of me.”

Hongshan looked at Yuxi carefully, and found that she was not sad, and said boldly, “Girl, I don’t think it’s the master’s intention, but the third lady’s.” Hongshan hoped that Yuxi would not resent the third master, After all, the third master is the biological father, and the girl will depend on the biological father in the future.

Oakhee said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter who you mean. Apart from this, is there anything else in the mansion these two days?”

Hong Shan shook her head and said, “During this time, the mansion was calm and nothing happened.”

Oak-hee didn’t react after hearing this, and turned to look at her chess record again. Now Oak-hee reads the chess repertoire whenever he has time, plays chess while reading the chess repertoire, and uses one person for two, forgetting to eat and sleep. According to Mo Ju and the others, their girl has gone crazy.

Mother Shen watched Hong Shan come out of the house and asked in a low voice, “What did the girl say?”

Hongshan knew that if she said that the girl didn’t care about hanging screens, Shen’s mother would definitely tell the old lady about it. I don’t know why, but Hong Shan had a feeling that the girl didn’t show anything on her face, but she actually knew what they were doing in her heart. Subconsciously, Hong Shan didn’t tell the truth: “The girl is very sad, she said she wanted to be alone for a while, and she didn’t want to be disturbed.”

Shen’s mother was a little suspicious and asked, “Really?”

Hongshan scolded inwardly, this kind of unpleasant thing will let her rush forward. If the old lady punishes the girl and the responsibility is placed on her at that time, this Mrs. Shen is really fine. But Hongshan didn’t dare to offend Mrs. Shen, and said with a smile, “What am I lying to my mother for?”

Shen’s mother was dubious, but when she saw that Yuxi’s eyes were red and her face was not good, she believed what Hongshan said.

Oak-hee felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at Shin’s mother. She really doesn’t understand what the old lady is thinking now? Could it be that she was afraid of revenge because of the doctor’s affairs, not to mention that she has this ability, that is, when she has this ability in the future, because of filial piety, she will not be able to take revenge: “Hongshan, let your brother send a letter to Fang’s mother, it is convenient Ask her to come to the house during the Chinese New Year.” She wanted to tell Fang’s mother something. I’ve been very busy before, but the husband will have a holiday in the past two days, and she can relax for a while.

Hongshan replied crisply: “Okay.”

The buns made by Mama Fang are very popular and in short supply. The business is good and the income is naturally high. After deducting various expenses, Baozipu has a net profit of more than 30 taels per month. This number is not bad in Shangyuan Street. Fortunately, the people on Shangyuan Street knew that the owner of this steamed bun shop belonged to the government, and no one dared to make up their minds, otherwise there would be trouble.

The steamed buns shop made a profit, and Yuxi’s hands were naturally a lot looser, and the maidservant beside her was the direct beneficiary.

Shen’s mother opened her mouth, but in the end she didn’t say anything. She served the girl for more than half a year, but the girl was still very defensive about her. Shen’s mother is not stupid, she knows what the girl is guarding against, but this is all ordered by the old lady, and she can’t resist. So the girl’s attitude towards her was neither cold nor indifferent, and she could only endure it.

In winter, it gets dark quickly.

Hongshan watched Mama Shen leave the Rose Garden before entering the room and said to Yuxi who was writing, “Miss, there are a few words for this servant to say.”

Oak-hee put down the brush and said, “If you have something to say, say it.”

Hong Shan said respectfully, “The slave girl knows that the girl has a plan in her heart. There are just some things, and the girl still needs to be careful.” Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Hong Shan said directly, “It’s like today, when the girl treats the master. It’s too indifferent to only give gifts to the three girls but not to you, and if you let the old lady know about it, she will definitely be unhappy.” Indifferent, it means that there is no expectation of the biological father. In the eyes of the old lady, the girl is dissatisfied with the third master, and she should be filial as a child. If the girl bears a reputation for being unfilial, not to mention that it will be difficult to get married in the future, even in the mansion.

Oak Xi looked solemn and said, “What do you want to say? It’s okay to say it straight.” Oak Xi was worried that Hong Shan was digging a hole for her, so she had to be careful.

Hongshan said, “Girl, if the slave and maid say something that goes beyond, even if the master is partial, the girl must be a filial child.” Only a filial child will make people like and feel at ease.

Oak Xi stared at Hong Shan, as if she could stare out a hole: “I want to know why you are telling me these things.” If he really digs a hole, it can only be said that Hong Shan is too daring, because this kind of Accidentally, she would have to fall into the pit herself.

Hongshan raised her head and said, “I believe in the girl.” As for what girl to believe, she must know.

Oak-hee looked at Hong-shan in surprise. This was surrender.

Hong Shan was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she didn’t regret what she said just now. Some time ago, it was her turn to take a vacation, and she told her father about the girl’s recent performance. Her father said that even if the fourth girl is not as good as the third girl in the future, it will definitely not be bad in the future. Her father asked her to wait for the girl to be taken over by Mr. Song and serve her wholeheartedly.

Hong Shan thought about it for a long time, and finally expressed her position before Mr. Song accepted the girl. Otherwise, when the girl worships under Mr. Song, everyone will know that the girl’s future is not bad, and then she will definitely not be able to get the girl’s reuse if she surrenders at that time. If it can’t be reused, and it goes against the old lady’s wishes, it’s not worth it.

Yuxi said sternly, “Your father is the second housekeeper. Even if you don’t rely on me, you can find a good way in the future. Tell me, why did you do this? I want to listen to the truth.”

Now that Hongshan has made up her mind to take this path, she will not leave any room for it: “Girl, I originally wanted to serve her for five or six years. At that time, I was seventeen or eighteen, and I had reached the age of marriage. If you go outside, you will have a good life.” When Hongshan said that she was married outside, she meant that she would be married to a good people’s house to be the head lady, so that she could get rid of the fate of being a slave and a maid.

Oak-hee asked, “What happened?” Hongshan suddenly changed her mind. It must have happened, and it must have been a major event.

Hongshan’s eyes are red: “I have a cousin who served the old lady before. A few years ago, she was released to marry a scholar. This autumn, my cousin-in-law was selected as a juren, and then their family began to dislike my cousin. She used to be a maid and felt that her family’s reputation was damaged. A few days ago, she said that my cousin would be divorced. My father came to the door. Life is very difficult.” Hong Shan has a good relationship with her cousin, and her hair is cold when she sees her cousin who is so haggard in just a few months.

Oak Xi asked calmly, “You’re afraid of falling into the same situation as your cousin, so you don’t want to marry outside? Do you want to marry back in the manor?”

Hongshan said directly from her heart: “The people in the mansion have the same identity, and they will definitely not dislike my identity. And the people in the mansion know the bottom line, so don’t worry about being deceived.” Her cousin-in-law used to be honest and honest. Otherwise, her sister would not have chosen that person. It can only be said that the man disguised so well that his whole family was distracted. But looking in the mansion, there is no such worry. After all, in the same mansion, it is no problem to inquire about a person’s details.

This incident hit Hong Shan hard and made her reluctant to marry outside.

Oak Xi didn’t answer Hong Shan directly, but asked a question: “What’s the matter with the copybook?” It’s definitely not stupid to be able to climb the second-class maid in the upper court. But when it comes to the copybook, Hong Shan is stupid and tells her things that are out of her mind. Oak-hee thought it was odd at the time, but she didn’t ask much.

Hong Shan knelt on the ground and said with a pale face, “Mother Shen asked me to tell her everything about the girl. I don’t want to do such a thing. It happened that Sister Ziyi came to me to talk about the copybook.” She wanted Oak-hee to distance herself from her and not let her be close to her, so that she would know less about Oak-hee and have nothing to report to Mother Shin.

Oak Xi suddenly realized that there was a reason: “Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to give you a good future?”

Hongshan had already given up and said, “That’s my life too.” In fact, it can be seen from Fang’s mother that as long as she is devoted to the girl, the girl will definitely not ignore her.

It is extremely cost-effective for her to gain Hongshan’s loyalty. Oak-hee said, “As long as you can do it, I won’t let you fall into the same situation as your cousin.”

Hong Shan returned a heart to her stomach. The matter of her cousin chilled her heart, and it also made her not dare to marry outside. And if she married into the mansion, she had to find a backer. Although her father is the second housekeeper, he is old, and her two brothers are not smart people, so they will not be able to take over her father’s errands in the future. If there is no strong backer, the future will be just as sad. This is the real reason why she surrendered to Oak Hee. For the sake of the future, Hongshan decided to gamble. As for winning or losing, time will tell.
