When I returned to the main courtyard, Qingshu leaned on the chair and didn't want to start. I was so tired that my legs were no longer my own.

Old Mrs. Gu saw her so distressed and said, "Be good, do you want to lie in the house?"

Although it was very uncomfortable, Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, grandma, let's have breakfast!"

After using breakfast, she had to study with Zhong’s mother. After learning the Three Character Classic, she had already started to learn fables.

Old Mrs. Gu comforted: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will be easier as long as you persist."

Qingshu nodded. In fact, not only is it easy to study, but it is not easy to do anything, but she will not give up no matter how difficult it is.

Qingshu always stands when practicing calligraphy, and today he can’t stand, but can only sit.

Mother Zhong asked with concern: "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No, I'm fine." After a sudden fall, Qingshu and Zhong's mother said: "Mom, I told my grandma last night that it would cost too much to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but my grandma said that the profits of the shop are temporarily enough for us."

Mother Zhong smiled and nodded, "That's good. By the way, girl, did the old lady say when will the sir arrive?"

She had to take care of the housework and teach Qingshu to study. This period of time made her very tired, so she urgently hoped that her husband would arrive soon.

"Grandma said that the husband will come back late in the month, and my mother won't have to work so hard when the husband comes."

When I walked to the door, I saw a little maid rushing over. Seeing Qingshu's little maid showing panic, she quickly lowered her head and gave a blessing: "Hello girl."

Qingshu frowned and asked, "What made you so anxious?"

The little maid shook her head and said, "No, it's okay."

Mother Zhong smiled and said, "Girl, this little maid is someone around me. She is timid and has never seen any world. Please don't mind."

"It's okay."

After Qingshu and Zhong’s mother separated, he asked Jiaoxing: “What does that maid do for Zhong’s mother on weekdays?”

After Jiao Xing entered the mansion for four years, she was very familiar with the maids and mothers in the mansion: "Go back to the girl, this little maid will usually send something to send a message to Mrs. Zhong."

Qingshu said, "Go and find out what the little maid is doing to find Mama Zhong?"

If it were something in the mansion, the little maid shouldn't have been so panicked.

After thinking about it, Qingshu added another sentence: "Silent, don't attract attention."

Jiao Xing nodded: "Okay."

When he returned to the main courtyard, Qingshu found that Old Mrs. Gu had not come back yet.

Xingyu brought the cut watermelon and came up: "Miss, this melon is put in the well water and has just been fished up. It tastes very sweet in the cold..."

Qingshu ate a piece of watermelon and stopped eating it: "Sister Xingyu, how long have you been with Sister Xinghua come to Gu's house?"

Apart from Hua Mother, the two maids who are most important to Mrs. Gu are Xingyu and Xinghua.

Xingyu was calm and assisted Hua's mother in charge of the maids and women in the room, clothes and jewelry, etc.; Xinghua was easy to settle accounts, and she would help Mrs. Gu settle accounts on weekdays.

Xingyu smiled and said, "I have been in Gu's Mansion at the age of six. Xinghua has been in Gu's Mansion earlier than me. She has been in Gu's Mansion at the age of five. Now she has been in Gu's family for twelve years."

She and Xinghua are already at the age of discussing marriage, and Old Mrs. Gu is already looking for them.

Qingshu asked deliberately with a curious look on his face: "Sister Xingyu, are there anyone in your family?"

Xingyu nodded and said, "Yes, my parents are still there, and there are brothers and sisters at home. Xinghua was sold by her brother and sister-in-law. After entering the mansion, she broke off relations with her brother and sister-in-law."

As the confidant maid of Mrs. Gu, Xingyu naturally knew that Qingshu had become sensible.

Afraid that Qingshu misunderstood Xinghua's cold-blooded and ruthlessness, Xingyu explained: "Xinghua's family has a six-house blue brick house, and more than ten acres of fertile land and two acres of mulberry land. But her sister-in-law felt that Xinghua was eating rice at home and was worried that she would have to give her dowry in the future, so she sold her to someone's teeth. Knowing that Xinghua entered the Gu family as a maid and had monthly money, she came to her house to ask Xinghua to give them monthly money. Girl, Xinghua's brother and sister-in-law were like leeches. If they kept losing their relationship, Xinghua would be sucked dry sooner or later.

Qingshu got goosebumps all over his body when he heard the leech.

At this moment, Mrs. Gu came back. Seeing Qingshu, Mrs. Gu asked with concern: "Good, does it still hurt?"

Qingshu nodded and said, "It's still a little sore. Grandma, I'm hungry, let's have a meal!"

The food was very rich and they were all loved by Qingshu, but because Dr. He said that the food was light.

After noon, Qingshu went to Master Duan again.

Master Duan asked her to practice what she learned in the morning first, and then said: "It's great, now I'll learn to press my legs sideways."

After half an hour, Qingshu was sweating profusely.

Master Duan and Qingshu said: "You can't take a shower after sweating just now. You must have to take a bath after sweating dry. You can only take a hot bath. You must remember this."

Qingshu was a little puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Master Duan is a little overwhelmed, why is this child so many? "You just do it."

Qingshu saw him with a stern face and couldn't help laughing: "Master, don't worry, I will pay attention."

Seeing her smiling face, Master Duan couldn't help but feel better.

After sending the person away, Master Duan walked over the small door and entered the next yard.

As soon as I walked in, I heard a violent cough, and Master Duan's mood suddenly became heavier again.

When he returned to the main courtyard, Qingshu asked Jiaoxing: "How is the matter that you asked you to inquire about?"

Jiao Xing whispered: "Girl, Mama Zhong's son came to her in the morning, but I didn't find out what happened. However, when he entered the mansion, he was bruised and swollen. I asked Uncle Aqing, and Uncle Aqing said he must have been beaten."

Uncle Aqing is one of the two gatekeepers. Although he is old, he has a tight mouth. He can only say Jiaoxing is Qingshu's close maid, but he won't say it if someone asks him.

Seeing Qingshu frowned, Jiao Xing asked in a low voice: "Girl, Uncle Aqing Ye Jianhong probably fought with someone after drinking again, and he looked like that."

Ye Jianhong was originally working in the mansion, but once he beat someone up drunk and was then punished to go to the village.

Zhong’s mother is a strict person, which makes the maids and mothers in the mansion very afraid of her. However, his son likes to drink, and he scolds people after drinking.

Qingshu had no trustworthy people at hand, so he would definitely alarm Zhong’s mother when he went to inquire about Ye Jianhong: “I’m just curious. The little maid who is as calm as Zhong’s mother is useless.”

Jiaoxing smiled: "The little maid named Ye Zi, and she recognized Zhong's mother as her godmother. She probably hasn't learned the rules well yet, so she acts in a turbulent manner."

Qingshu knew that some maids in Zhongyong Hou’s Mansion would look for decent women to regard them as godmothers, but in fact, this was also a disguised search for shelter.

Qingshu asked, "Did mother Zhong take this Ye Zi and a goddaughter?"

Jiaoxing shook her head and said, "Before Ye Zi, Zhong's mother took a goddaughter, but the girl fell ill five years ago."

Qingshu kept this in mind.
