I was sweating all night, and Ningxiang woke up in the morning and was in good spirits. But when I first got off the ground, I felt a little heavy and light-footed. I took a few steps before I could stabilize.

Pei Jinghan was fine in the morning. After dinner, he came to see her with Su Yue. When he saw her getting up, he frowned and said, "Lying back."

The holiday was about to come tomorrow. Ningxiang was afraid that he would let her lie down and rest again, so she explained anxiously: "Criminal, I'm really fine..."

Perhaps the soul inside had changed, she woke up early this time and was very good.

Seeing that her complexion had indeed recovered, Pei Jinghan looked at him with watery almond eyes begging him, and his heart softened and said to Su Yue: "Send someone to invite Doctor Li."

Su Yue smiled and looked at Ningxiang, and walked away lightly.

There were only two of them left in the room. Ningxiang stood respectfully and looked out the window.

The snow stopped, and a thick snow accumulated on the ground. She swept a path before breakfast and sweated a lot. The plum trees in the corner had buds, and the pink strings were crawling all over the branches, full of vitality in the snow and ice.

"Plan to go home tomorrow?" The little maid didn't say anything. Pei Jinghan walked to the door and took the initiative to tell her.

Ningxiang nodded, "During the Chinese New Year, promised Amu that he would bring him the candy and fried chestnuts back."

When she mentioned her younger brother, nostalgia surged in her eyes and her voice became much gentler.

Pei Jinghan also has a younger brother, who is still ten years younger than him, and younger brothers and sisters are the younger they are, the more people are concerned about it. Somewhere in his heart was touched, Pei Jinghan turned around and asked, "I remember Amu is five years old this year? It just so happened that the day before yesterday I bought a wooden carving thing for Jingrun. He didn't like it, so he returned it for me. It's useless for me to keep it, you can take it back for Amu to play with."

Her parents both died, and her younger brother depended on each other for her life. Amu was her lifeblood and he was willing to take care of her.

Ningxiang doesn't want it. She deserves the monthly money, and the sumptuous meals are all from the maids of Lengmei Pavilion, but if you give her this kind of bonus separately, you will owe him one more.

"Prince, please keep it. What if the second young master wants it again one day?" Ningxiang glanced at Pei Jinghan's green clothes and politely refused.

Pei Jinghan sneered, "I gave it to Amu. You take it back, and he said he didn't like it and you took it back."

The man was obviously unhappy, and Ningxiang didn't have the courage to fuck him again, and lowered her head to make a decision.

It was still early for Doctor Li to come over, Pei Jinghan asked her to stay by herself. When he went to the room, he called the servant Changshun to instruct: "Go to the wood carving shop on East Street, and ask the shopkeeper to choose a wood carving that a five-year-old child likes to play with."

Changshun was a little strange. There was no five-year-old child in the Hou Mansion, but he watched the master who had turned around and entered the house and went to do his own business.

As soon as he arrived at East Street, Doctor Li rushed over here and headed straight for Lengmei Pavilion.

Pei Jinghan thought about it, but without any trouble, Ningxiang, and then followed Dr. Li to the ear room.

Looking at the hearing, asking and talking, Doctor Li smiled and said, "Today, use another prescription, don't catch a cold again, it should be fine."

Ningxiang looked happy and looked at Pei Jinghan expectantly.

Pei Jinghan smiled, and after Doctor Li left, he said to Ningxiang: "Then you have a good rest today. If you can't have a good rest, you have to continue to raise it."

Ningxiang quickly agreed.

While talking, a little maid walked to the door and looked inside, and said to Pei Jinghan: "Criminal, the old lady, please come over."

Grandmother looked for him, and Pei Jinghan immediately went to the old lady's Rong'an Hall.

In Rong'an Hall, the old lady and Mrs. Hou Du were both there. Next to the old lady was the eight-year-old second son Pei Jingrun. The boy was a clever and witty man, which made the old lady smile and laugh endlessly.

Du is nearly 40 years old and is usually pampered and well-maintained. She looks like she is only in her thirties and has a charm. Her appearance is not very beautiful, but her eyebrows and eyes are peaceful, giving people the feeling of being as quiet as orchid when she leaves. She smiles and looks at the two grandparents and grandchildren beside her, graceful and dignified.

"Grandmother, mother." Pei Jinghan stepped into the warm pavilion, finished the ceremony with his elders, and sat down at Du's head. Seeing that his younger brother was still leaning in the old lady's arms, Pei Jinghan frowned and scolded, "Why didn't you go to study today?"

The majestic demeanor is truly the elder brother like the father.

Pei Jingrun was at the age of playfulness. With the support of the old lady, he replied with confidence: "It snows, sir has three days off."

"All the schoolwork has been completed?" Pei Jinghan asked immediately.

Pei Jingrun's little head drooped, and his big eyes secretly tilted to the side, looking at his grandmother with help.

The old lady had something to say to Changsun, which was not suitable for children to listen to, so she rubbed Pei Jingrun's head and said kindly: "Your brother is right. Jingrun can't think about playing every day. Go and do your homework. After finishing it, come to accompany your grandmother." Their own son Pei Zheng neglected to discipline his legitimate sons. It is rare that Changsun is willing to help teach his younger brother. Of course, her grandmother has to cooperate.

The grandmother who was most partial to him said this. Pei Jingrun nodded in disappointment and left dejectedly.

The old lady then asked Changsun: "I heard that you invited Doctor Li early in the morning. Did you invite that maid named Ningxiang?"

Pei Jinghan said frankly: "Yes, Jingrun is foolish, Ningxiang almost lost half of her life. Fortunately, she survived it."

The old lady was partial to the youngest grandson, but she was also a reasonable person. She didn't criticize Ningxiang, but only advised earnestly: "I know you spoiled them, but no matter what, they were just maids. You can't go too far. Let others know. Who is willing to marry your daughter to you?"

If a man is too fond of a maid, he will easily do things that he prefers his concubine in the future. Isn’t his son Pei Zheng an example?

The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law and saw Du's face calm, she sighed in her heart. What a good daughter-in-law, well-educated and filial to her parents-in-law. I really don't know where Aunt Liu is good, and she has hooked her son and neglected her wife whom she married.

Pei Jinghan understood the old lady's meaning and said seriously: "Don't worry, grandmother, Jinghan knows the right way."

Pampering is pampering, but he will not learn from his father and will mess up the rules that his wives and concubines should have.

At this time, Ningxiang let Mama Li into the ear room in Lengmei Pavilion.

Madam Li is 45 years old this year and works in the kitchen of Du's side. She is an old man in the mansion. Ningxiang once met Madam Li on the way home. She found out that Madam Li lives in a town in the south of their village. The two of them can walk more than 20 miles together when they go home. Therefore, during holidays, Madam Li asks her to go with her.

"How is it? Are you getting better? Will you go home tomorrow?" Madam Li looked at Ningxiang with heartache. The little girl is simple and kind, and she has no father or mother. She is very pitiful. After three years of getting along, Madam Li almost treats Ningxiang as her granddaughter. Ningxiang Suyue can be promoted to the eldest maid so quickly. Thank you for Madam Li's tips.

"It's much better." Ningxiang poured tea and handed it to Mama Li, and sat down next to her with a smile.

Madam Li just came in from outside, and her hands were a little cold. She picked up the tea bowl to warm her hands, then took out a handful of red dates from her sleeve bag, and said with a smile: "I'll give you food, is it a menstrual period? Is it good for the girl to eat more dates at home?"

Ningxiang took it helplessly, "You have spent another effort..."

"What's the cost?" Madam Li looked outside the door and whispered: "There are some in the kitchen. I catch two food every day, and I can't tell."

The old man smiled so hard that his face was full of wrinkles. Ning Xiang couldn't help but smile. He put the dates on the table for a while and thought that he would divide the two Suyues into a while, and take the rest home for his younger brother and cousin to eat. Such a big red date is rare in the village.

"Don't just think about Amu, remember to eat." Madam Li took a sip of tea and was about to leave. "See you at the door tomorrow."

Ningxiang kept sending the old man out of Lengmei Pavilion.

When I returned to the house, I counted and found a total of seven big red dates. I took out three of Ningxiang and packed them with four left. My younger brother and cousin were divided into two.

After wrapping the dates, Ningxiang turned out his little piggy bank.

After entering the mansion, her monthly money increased from two cents to five cents and then to one liang today. In addition, she actually made a lot of money during the holidays. She only spent some money to pay off her debts. Her younger brother occasionally had to pay for the medical treatment when he got sick, and she had to order her aunt every month. After all, their family was not rich, and it was quite hard to raise her younger brother. Ningxiang has saved up a total of ten taels of silver and more than one hundred copper coins.

This is her three years of savings.

I will pay another one or two more monthly money for the first lunar month tomorrow.

Ningxiang lit it, took out two cents of silver and a small string of copper plates, and continued to save the rest.

In the evening, Su Yue brought her supper, and Ningxiang smiled and invited her to eat red dates.

Su Yue knew it was given by Mama Li, so she was not polite. When she packed the table after dinner, she said to her: "I just told the prince that I don't have family members, so I don't need to fake it. I will give you my fake. You can stay at home for one night in the future."

Ningxiang's house is forty miles away from the city of Mansion. She went back early in the morning and rushed home to have lunch. After a rest, she almost had to walk back.

Ningxiang looked at Suyue in surprise. Suyue is an orphan, but she likes to play. At the end of the month, she would go shopping with other maids who don’t go home, buy some things from girls, or just watch the fun. In the last life, the two had a good relationship, Suyue had never proposed this way, how did she...

"Are you so happy?" Su Yue poked her forehead with a smile, and then said to the dining table: "You clean up, I'll go and serve the prince."

"Wait..." Ningxiang chased after two steps, but Su Yue walked too fast and didn't give her the chance to continue asking.

Ningxiang couldn't understand the reason for Su Yue's changes, so she got up early the next day to ask Su Yue. Su Yue took the water up the room and said helplessly: "You are a man who has taken advantage of you and has to ask the bottom of the matter. If you insist on causing trouble, I force me to take it back, are you happy? Okay, go in."

He raised his chin toward the room.

It is important to serve Pei Jinghan. Ningxiang shut up for the time being and entered the house with Su Yue. Today she had to rush to the mule cart to the north of the city and buy candy and fried chestnuts for her younger brother, so she would not have breakfast in the mansion. She came over to say goodbye to Pei Jinghan.

"Since Su Yue gave you her fake, you can stay at home for one night and come back tomorrow before sunset." Pei Jinghan looked at Ningxiang while rolling up his sleeves. After saying that, he pointed to the table, "That's a wood carving that the second young master doesn't want. Remember to take it back."

Ningxiang turned her head and saw a pineapple wood carving where Wu Song beat the tiger, which was lifelike.

Looking at Pei Jinghan's narrow eyes again, he knew that the gift must be received. Ningxiang pursed her lips and put away the wood carving before thanking her.
