Lou Siyun happily took Su Qi and Bai Zhi to her bedroom to talk.
Su Qi could tell at a glance that Lou Siyun was having a hard time, and most of the work in the house was done by herself.
Baizhi couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Help Lou Siyun clean the house.
"Madam, please have a chat with Miss Lou first. I will go and clean up the outer rooms and yard first, and will come back to clean up the bedroom later."
Lou Siyun hurriedly stopped Bai Zhi and said:
"Bai Zhi. How can I let you come here to work for me? You are the one serving my sister-in-law. Just sit quietly and let's talk."
Bai Zhi didn't listen. In her mind, Lou Siyun was a very good girl. Now that her life had become like this, she couldn't bear to see Lou Siyun in such a miserable state.
She still stood up, opened the door and started to tidy up the room.
Su Qi did not stop Bai Zhi, and took Lou Siyun's hand and said:
"You should ask Baizhi to do something, otherwise she will be uneasy."
"Why are you having such a bad day?"
Lou Siyun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I brought this upon myself. If I had stayed in Mengjiazhuang, even if I had married a villager, I wouldn't have ended up like this. I thought my biological mother wouldn't harm me, but who would have thought I was overthinking it."
She thought of her sister.
Perhaps in the eyes of her parents, the family's reputation is above everything else.
In Lou Siyun's mind, it is better to marry a country bumpkin than to be the envied concubine of the Ban family.
Su Qi took off the gold necklace from her neck and put it on Lou Siyun's neck. She then opened the bag she brought with her, which contained several sets of clothes.
There is also a crane cloak for winter wear.
Some jewelry.
A bag of silver ingots and a stack of silver notes.
The reason for the silver notes was mainly to facilitate Lou Siyun to use them to deal with the people in charge. There was only one silver note of 1,000 taels, and the rest were silver notes of 50 taels and 100 taels.
"Sister-in-law. This is not allowed." Lou Siyun choked up when she saw these things.
Of course, life is easier if you have money in your hands. She came here and spent almost all the money she brought with her.
The monthly allowance from the Ban government was very small; people like her only received two taels of silver a month.
The monthly wages of maids and old women had to be deducted from it.
The food, vegetables and daily necessities supplied by the public school were of very poor quality, not to mention what was withheld by others.
"Here's a stack of gold and silver leaves. My brother asked me to give them to you." Su Qi handed one of the bags to Lou Siyun. "He said he didn't know you were going back with your family, and he didn't give you any good advice."
Lou Siyun lowered her eyes and let the tears fall.
"It's all fate. I sent people to look for Young Master Su that day but couldn't find him." Lou Siyun clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, her eyes falling on the cloth bag.
Looking back, everything is no longer the same as it was before.
"Sister-in-law, these are too valuable. I can't accept them. I'll just take the clothes." Lou Siyun suppressed the emotion in her eyes and looked at Su Qi with a clear and steady gaze.
"Siyun. If you want to leave here, let's find a way. You keep these."
Lou Siyun shook her head and bit her lip without saying anything.
It was so difficult to leave Ban Mansion. From the first day I came in, I was told that only the dead could leave, not the living.
She was not unaware of the Ban family's ruthless methods.
Don’t involve others.
Seeing that she shook her head and said nothing, Su Qi did not try to persuade her any further.
A small bag of vegetable and flower seeds was given to Lou Siyun, which she bought from the seed-selling boy at the Mingfeng Town dock.
Su Qi gave Lou Siyun some free time to grow vegetables.
Since you won't leave.
It is better to make your life more comfortable. If the maid is not good, then use external force to suppress her.
After several teachings.
Lou Siyun nodded continuously. She took the things Su Qi gave her back into the house and hid them.
She had been here for so long that she knew the maids were not clean, so she had already found a place to hide her things.
Su Qi and Lou Siyun were whispering inside.
By the way, he taught Lou Siyun some pharmacology. She had already learned some of it in Mengjiazhuang. He also gave Lou Siyun a book on pharmacology so that she could continue studying in her spare time.
"Siyun. Find an opportunity to buy someone to be by your side, and make sure you choose the right one." Su Qi taught her in every detail.
outside the house.
Baizhi is tidying up.
The maidservant had been slapped twice by the old nanny and was so angry that she ran to the old woman who was sweeping the floor and started to stir up trouble with a few words.
The old woman is not easy to get along with either.
Looking at Baizhi cleaning up, she threw away a lot of things.
Just when she was looking for an excuse to insult her, she listened to the maid's instigation.
Smoke had already been coming out of the top of his head.
The two of them discussed it.
He ran over and glared at Bai Zhi angrily, "Hey. Who are you? You come into our yard to do things, are you trying to find fault with us?"
Baizhi was sweeping the yard with a broom in her hand.
Hearing this.
Stopped.
He looked at the two of them with a half-smile, pointing at the fallen leaves and thick dust scattered around the yard. "You two are still finding fault with this? You usually bully our Siyun without anyone else, right?"
The old woman spat: "Pah. What is worthy of our bullying?"
The little girl arrogantly denied, "Don't curse, we are the maids and servants of the Ban Mansion. Not the maids and servants of the 189 who don't even have a name."
Baizhi really hates the number 189.
Hear this.
The broom in his hand whirred.
He beat the two of them up.
The girl and the old woman wanted to run away, but Baizhi's broom seemed to have eyes.
He would always grab them and beat them up, or he would stretch out his legs and trip them. Suddenly, the two people on the ground wailed, and their miserable howling attracted many people to watch.
Concubines like Lou Siyun were happy.
It was as if Lou Siyun had beaten their maids and servants to vent their anger.
The maids and servants in the next yard were terrified.
Those smart people quickly took the initiative to work to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Lou Siyun heard the cries of pleading and insults outside, but ignored them completely and continued talking with Su Qi in the room.
From time to time, there was a burst of silver bell-like laughter.
The noise here still alarmed the guards at the door. A guard manager came over to ask, and Bai Zhi sarcastically told him the whole story.
He also didn't forget to make a few sarcastic remarks.
The guard manager knew that the long-time attendant of the Ban family had specifically told him that the lady coming today was an important person, so he did not dare to offend Bai Zhi easily.
After all, he didn't know the identities of these two people.
Ask the people around him to drag the maids and old women down.
The maidservant lying on the ground with bruises on her face knew that nothing good would happen if she fell into the hands of these people.
They kept begging to see their manager.
He was dragged away by the guard manager.
Baizhi and Su Qi came out at this time.
Su Qi first thanked the guard, and then said that her sister was helpless here and hoped that the guard would take good care of her. Su Qi gave Bai Zhi a look, and Bai Zhi quietly stuffed a cloth bag into her hand.
The gold ingot inside was revealed.
The guard quietly shook it up and found it was quite heavy. It must be at least 20 taels of gold.
He hurriedly put the cloth bag into his sleeve with a smile.
He also promised to pick out an honest and dutiful maid and a simple old woman to come in.
Lou Siyun also thanked him.
At this time, several people came from the other side of the road.
A sedan chair was carried over.
The old nanny who was following beside her smiled sweetly, "Madam Lou, the master of the house said that there will be a banquet at the mansion today, and asked you and Madam Gu to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers first. The eldest lady ordered me to come and greet you two."
Lou Siyun smelled a hint of conspiracy.
She looked at Su Qi worriedly. How could the Ban family leader invite her to the garden to appreciate the flowers when he had never met Su Qi?
Su Qi patted the back of her hand soothingly, and said to the nanny with a fake smile:
"Mammy, let me take Siyun to change her clothes and then I'll go over."
