Xiao Baozhu didn't go back to the yard all day today.
In the evening, Wang Xiucai's maid ah Zhi wondered why Xiao Baozhu didn't come back?
Because Xiao Baozhu has been here for so long, he has not been favored by Wang Xiucai, so ah Zhi has never taken Xiao Baozhu seriously.
But Xiao Baozhu was taken care of by the chef, so ah Zhi didn't dare to make a mistake. She was worried that the kitchen would trip her, so she isolated Xiao Baozhu in the yard and didn't ask her.
Qin Qingqing's maid Xiaocui also stared at Xiao Baozhu at the beginning, worried that Xiao Baozhu would attract Wang Xiucai's attention if she wasn't careful.
However, after so many months, Wang Xiucai had no interest in Xiao Baozhu. Xiaocui gradually relaxed her vigilance and just focused on serving Qin Qingqing.
That day, Xiaocui came out of the house and saw a Zhi looking out alone. She asked a Zhi, "what are you doing here?"
Seeing that it was Xiaocui, a Zhi quickly bowed his head and saluted.
Although Xiaocui is also a servant, she serves Qin Qingqing. Her status is more than a little higher than a Zhi. A Zhi must salute when he sees Xiaocui.
"Miss Xiaocui, I'm waiting for Xiao Baozhu."
"Xiao Baozhu? Didn't she come back?" Xiaocui asked.
"No, I don't know where I'm lazy. I haven't seen anyone all day."
"The yard is so big that I can't find anyone?" Xiaocui said contemptuously, "just go out and ask."
“……”
Although the squire sent someone to pass the message, it was also passed on to Wang Xiucai. As for Wang Xiucai, he didn't care where Xiao Baozhu went at all. He only cared about Qin Qingqing.
After getting married for so long, his enthusiasm for Qin Qingqing is still unabated. He looks at Qin Qingqing every day, reads books and enjoys flowers with Qin Qingqing. He has a wonderful life.
Therefore, even if someone came to deliver a message, Wang Xiucai should not be taken seriously.
Xiaocui and a Zhi look around outside and find Xiao Baozhu helping settle accounts in the front hall. They are very surprised.
A Zhi is afraid that Xiao Baozhu will threaten her. Xiaocui is worried that Xiao Baozhu will threaten the status of her young lady.
They came back uneasily.
As soon as Xiaocui came back, she told Qin Qingqing about it.
But Qin Qingqing is spoiled by Wang Xiucai. She thinks it's nothing. Xiao Baozhu can settle accounts, so go and help. It's good to have someone share the work for her father-in-law.
Xiaocui is helpless, but she can't persuade her young lady.
……
At night, Xiao Baozhu finally came back.
She had dinner at squire Wang's side. After eating, she went to work for a while, so she came back at this point. The king asked her to go again the next day.
After Xiao Baozhu came back, a Zhi went to test her: "did you go to the master today?"
"Yes." Xiao Baozhu is tired all day. Her brain is tired and her body is tired. She doesn't want to talk much.
A Zhi said, "did the master arrange work for you?"
"It's not a big job." Xiao Baozhu doesn't want to say more.
A Zhi couldn't ask more.
But she vaguely felt that Xiao Baozhu was different from her.
……
Not surprisingly, after Xiao Baozhu had been busy for a few days, the squire thought Xiao Baozhu was a talent and could stay at home for reuse.
He believed that Xiao Baozhu had no two hearts. If he had two hearts, Xiao Baozhu would have left long ago and would not stay until now.
But Xiao Baozhu's identity is a little awkward now. She is a woman. She can't run outside with housekeeper Wang. She can only stay at home to take care of the accounts, but the person in charge of the accounts is either the housekeeper or the influential master of the family.
Well, Xiao Baozhu had better be his son's concubine.
Thinking of this, squire Wang resolutely informed that Xiao Baozhu could be a concubine from now on, second only to Qin Qingqing.
