Rebirth: The first daughter-in-law

Aunt Yu knelt down again and said with some self-reproach, "Miss, this old slave was just in a hurry. He taught Yu Xing these words without even asking Miss what he meant. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Xie Jingya made a cold face and said: "Since grandma accepts the punishment, let's fine her one month's salary in silver."

"Yes." Aunt Yu accepted the punishment willingly.

Although Yu Xing was young, he knew that he had gone beyond the rules, so he begged: "Miss, it's because Yu Xing is ignorant, and Yu Xing is willing to be punished!"

"Well..." Xie Jingya nodded, then smiled and said: "Then I will punish you to be a third-class maid in my yard in the future. If you behave well, I will punish you again!"

When Grandma Yu heard this, she smiled, glared at her niece and said, "Don't show mercy to Miss."

Yu Xing kowtowed quickly and replied: "I thank you, Miss!"

Seeing that Aunt Yu was here, Xie Jingya wanted to ask her something, so she asked Banxiang to take Yu Xing back to rest first, or maybe go for a walk around the house.

"Panxia, ​​help grandma up quickly and sit down." Xie Jingya ordered Banxia.

After Aunt Yu sat down, Banxia handed her another cup of tea, and Xie Jingya ordered Banxia to bring out some snacks.

"Mommy, I'm afraid you've had a hard journey along the way. Eat something first. I'll have some questions to ask later." Xie Jingya said calmly.

Aunt Yu was indeed a little hungry, so she thanked her and ate two snacks and drank some tea.

"Miss, if you have anything to say, please ask me!" asked Grandma Yu.

Xie Jingya asked straight to the point: "Do you know anything about the ugly woman in the prime minister's house?"

"Ugly woman?" Grandma Yu thought for a moment before remembering, and then said: "Old servant only remembers that this ugly woman was rescued by the Prime Minister on the road. I heard that she came to the capital to find relatives, but the relatives had moved away long ago.

In the capital, when I was about to return to the south of the Yangtze River, I encountered a group of thieves. Fortunately, Mr. Chengxiang saved his life. Seeing that his life was poor and he could tend some flowers and plants, he stayed!"

What Aunt Yu said was the same as what Aunt Xiao said.

"Besides these, does grandma know anything else?" Xie Jingya wanted to know something different.

Aunt Yu thought for a while, then shook her head, and then said: "If we talk about Chou Po's life experience, then the old slave must know this. She has never caused any trouble in the house and does not communicate with other people, so

The old slave paid little attention to her, and only occasionally saw her bringing some fresh flowers or green plants to the Prime Minister's study."

"Has the ugly woman always been responsible for the flowers in my grandfather's study?" Xie Jingya couldn't help but ask.

Aunt Yu shook her head and said: "Before Chou Po came into the house, it was always given to me by A Kun in the house. Later, A Kun returned to the countryside to take care of himself because of his age. Chou Po gave it to me because A Kun left the house.

Flowers and plants are delivered to the study.”

Xie Jingya became silent after hearing this.

After a while, Grandma Yu asked, "Miss, do you think there is anything wrong with this ugly woman?"

"Do you know which big family the ugly woman serves in Jiangnan?" Xie Jingya asked with a glimmer of hope.

Looking at the expectation in Xie Jingya's eyes, Grandma Yu lowered her head slightly and said, "This old slave doesn't know that this ugly woman is really not popular because of her appearance, not to mention that she is indifferent to the world.

When I first came here, if I wanted to inquire about it, the ugly woman wouldn't say which big family it was, she just said that the master's family was guilty, so I couldn't tell."

"The master is guilty, why is it not convenient to talk about it?" Xie Jingya was curious, but something flashed in her mind.

Seeing that she asked such detailed questions, Aunt Yu knew she had her plans, so she whispered quietly: "Miss, you may not know something. In those few years, the emperor dealt with a large number of officials. Yi Lao Nu

Guess, the ugly woman didn’t want to reveal her original owner, so she probably had something to do with the officials who dealt with it.”

Xie Jingya also saw from some fragments of wild notes that in the few years after the emperor ascended the throne, he has been punishing corrupt officials and ambitious people. Of course, some people who followed him to conquer the world but held military power,

He didn't want to let go of the slightest dissent, so there was a bloody storm among the imperial officials in those years.

This clue is a very good start for Xie Jingya.

"Then when did Aunt Su enter the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xie Jingya asked casually, "Did she enter the Prime Minister's Mansion before Chou Po or after Chou Po?"

Aunt Yu fell into a flash of memories again, and after thinking for a while she said: "Aunt Su was a few years later than Chou Po, maybe three years. At that time, there were some old maids and old ladies in the house who were very relaxed.

When I returned to my hometown, I was promised a house, so I recruited some new ones. Considering the age of the eldest lady, I recruited a group of maids who were about the same age as the eldest lady. Aunt Su entered the house at that time.

"

"As soon as Aunt Su was selected as a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was she assigned to her grandmother's yard?" Xie Jingya asked.

Aunt Yu replied: "Among the bunch of maids, Aunt Su was smarter and more steady than the other maids, and she was loyal in her mind. Of course, the Prime Minister's wife thought so at that time, so she didn't have a lot of time.

So he put Aunt Su in his own yard to train her."

At that time, Mrs. Liu was also thinking about raising more children so that she could accompany Wang Yuer'er to her husband's house in the future.

"At that time, how could grandma think Aunt Su was a loyal maid?" Xie Jingya was confused about this.

Regarding this, Grandma Yu remembered this very clearly and replied: "The little maids who have just come in will be trained by their mothers for a period of time. That day, the Prime Minister's wife suddenly became interested and went to take a look.

Seeing Aunt Su holding the teacup, the stewardess poured water into the teacup. Halfway through, she looked away and looked away.

The attention overflowed, and the hot water kept scalding on Aunt Su's hands. Aunt Su remained silent at such a young age. When the grandma in charge came to her senses and saw her red hands, she felt a little agitated.

I was surprised and asked Aunt Su why she didn't say anything. At that time, Aunt Su said something and she was attracted by the Prime Minister's wife."

"Oh...what did you say?" Xie Jingya asked with interest.

Aunt Yu also remembers the general meaning of that passage clearly, "Aunt Su said that the most important thing for a slave is to obey the master above. When the master asks you to do something, even if it is going up a mountain of swords or a frying pan, a slave cannot shout.

pain."

At that time, the stewardess nodded, and the Prime Minister's wife who was standing by also looked at the young Aunt Su with admiration. Later, among the maids who had completed training, Aunt Su was assigned to the Prime Minister's wife's yard.
