455, do not ask
Xu Shu nodded and replied, "I understand! I will go tomorrow!"
Mrs. Zheng Si was slightly surprised, "Master Miaofan is so strict? Wouldn't you not have to rest for a day?"
Xu Shu smiled and said, "I just went to get a few scriptures back, and I don't have to copy them immediately, it's okay! Besides, I'm not the same as before now, so I should tell my master!"
Mrs. Zheng Si sighed, "This is the reason! The reason I should accompany you. But I heard that Hanxi Temple has never been to visit foreigners, and the Zheng family has never had any contact with Hanxi Temple. I came to the door rashly, but I was afraid that Master Miaofan would not like it, so I won't go. You should add a hundred taels of silver to the sesame oil money for me when you go tomorrow. I will ask Yinzhi to give it to you!"
Just now, Yinzhi was arranged by Mrs. Zheng Si to clean up the east wing. Mrs. Zheng Si planned to let Xu Shu live in the east wing for the time being. First, the east wing was spacious and Xu Shu lived comfortably. Second, she said that it was not far away from the main room, and it was not close to each other. The right distance did not make people feel unfamiliar or too close to each other. I think Xu Shu was willing.
Xu Shu nodded and agreed, "Okay!" This is Mrs. Zheng Si's wish, and there is no need for her to refuse. There are no fewer people who asked her to add money for incense and oil to Hanxi Temple in their early years.
Mrs. Zheng Si glanced at Yuzhu who had already stood beside Xu Shu to serve. Yuzhu noticed that Mrs. Zheng Si was looking at her. She did not panic and avoided her. Instead, she smiled generously at Mrs. Zheng Si. Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't help but like this maid a little, so she asked, "Your name is Yuzhu? What are the two words?"
Yuzhu replied with a blessing, "Jade beads that are as beautiful as jade."
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said to Xu Shu, "You maid has a good name and looks good. Look, her eyebrows are more marked than the thrush next to the old lady!"
Xu Shu felt nervous and understood Mrs. Zheng Si’s reminder, “She only has a good face, and she is the most free on weekdays. How can she compare with Sister Huamei? Such a maid who is unruly, how dare I take it to the old lady? It’s just a joke!”
The rich families are just particular and have to say things in a roundabout way. However, Mrs. Zheng Si can speak out in a carriage, but she can't speak freely when she arrives in her yard. It seems that not all the people in this yard are looking at Mrs. Zheng Si. Mrs. Zheng Si is concerned about these things that are rippling in the inside, so Xu Shu followed Mrs. Zheng Si's words and continued.
Just one thing, you can't be smarter anymore!
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded with satisfaction, but was afraid that Xu Shu would say this to her maid and make the maid feel uncomfortable, so she called Yuzhu to her side, took Yuzhu's hand and looked at it, "Look, your lady dislikes you, how good are you following me?"
Yuzhu smiled and said, "Mrs. Xie is just the right thing to say. I am frivolous and can't take on major issues, and I'm afraid I will miss my wife!"
Seeing that Yuzhu was not displeased with this, Mrs. Zheng Si let go of Yuzhu's hand and praised, "What a loyal maid!"
At this time, Yinzhi came in and replied, "Madam, the east wing room has been cleaned up. She tidyed out the originally vacant ebony gilt ivory-inlaided bed and spread the bedding of Yuehuajin. I don't know what incense Ms. Jiu likes, so I haven't smoked it yet. I also took a carved dressing table made of ebony from Curry. I don't know what Miss Jiu likes next to it, so I just put a few randomly. If Miss Jiu likes something else, I will buy it again!"
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded and pointed at Yuzhu and said, "This is Yuzhu. I have been serving Miss Jiu before. I said I would give you to Xiaojiu. But now that Yuzhu is here, Yuzhu takes the lead, so it is mainly Yuzhu. Yinzhi helps Yuzhu. You two serve Miss Jiu together!"
Yinzhi lowered her head's eyes and responded obediently, "Yes!" she turned to Yuzhu and said, "Sister Yuzhu, please give me more advice if I have any bad things in the future!"
Yuzhu felt a little relieved when she was calling her "sister". She had been serving Xu Shu for less than a year and didn't know much about Xu Shu's temperament. She could not help others in Jingyuan. She was the most useless one. She felt that Yuanyuan Jingjing and others were much better than her. But in order not to show their timidity in front of others, she forced her to nod, "It should be!"
Mrs. Zheng Si said, "Yuzhu, please help Miss Jiu back to rest! Yinzhi, follow me to go for those things to Miss Jiu!"
Yuzhu responded and retreated to Xu Shu and helped Xu Shu out. Yinzhi then looked puzzled, "Where did this jade bead come out? Since she is Miss Jiu's maid, why haven't she come back together? Since she hasn't seen her just now, how did she know that Miss Jiu is in the Zheng family?"
Yinzhi and others knew Xu Shu’s identity, and Mrs. Zheng Si did not hide it from her, “She came from Hanxi Temple, and it was Master Miaofan who asked her to come!”
Master Miaofan is almost like a god to ordinary people. Yinzhi no longer had any doubts after hearing this. Instead, she said infinitely, "I don't know if I have the chance to see Master Miaofan in this life!"
Mrs. Zheng Si said, "Miss Jiu will go to Hanxi Temple tomorrow. If you take you there, you will naturally see you. I asked you to come here just to ask you to get some silver for Miss Jiu, so you can add money to the indulgent oil tomorrow!"
Mrs. Zheng Si opened the cage and took ten silver ingots of ten taels out and put them in a purse. She took the broken silver beside her and put it in another purse, and told Yinzhi, "This hundred taels are for the indulgent oil money for Hanxi Temple. The broken silver in this purse is for the servants to give to Miss Jiu. You can give it to Miss Jiu together!"
Although it was a piece of silver, it was ten taels at one move. The lady really felt so painful to Miss Ninth!
Yinzhi took two bags of silver and was about to leave, but Mrs. Zheng Si stopped her and said with a smile, "I'm so anxious to serve Miss Jiu? Am I treating you badly on weekdays?"
Yinzhi smiled embarrassedly, "I am afraid that the house is arranged inconsistent with Miss Jiu's wishes, so I want to ask where I need to redesign it!"
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu is kind-hearted. No matter how bad the house is, she is afraid that you will be punished, so she will only praise you repeatedly! Besides, she is afraid that she doesn't care about the furnishings in the house now. You can't help but not be able to help yourself if you haven't seen Yuzhu's impatient just now? You should be pulling Xiao Jiu to ask about Xiao Jiu's recent experience. Their master and servant are talking, so don't get involved. Go and make a pot of tea for me. It will be difficult to drink the tea you make in the future!"
"Look at what the lady said, I am following Miss Jiu, and that is still Mrs. Madam. If my wife likes me, I will make tea for you every day!" Yinzhi said and took the teapot.
Chapter completed!
