"It's okay. We are supposed to support each other."
There was loneliness in her tone.
Zhang You knew that she was lamenting that the three of them were now like strangers.
Ever since Zhang You paid back the money to Xiu'er and Yang'er, he has hardly had any contact with them.
However, Xiu'er would talk to Zhang You from time to time.
It’s probably because of the earrings Zhang You gave me.
Later, during the month that Zhang You worked in the East Courtyard, he had no chance to meet them. Even during the days when he supported Zero Village, he had little time to talk to them.
But she still heard some gossip about them.
I heard that around the end of the year, Yang'er completely broke up with Erniu and the others.
The sheep, who has always been cowardly, had a big quarrel with them for some unknown reason, and in the end they became like enemies.
After that, she no longer hung out with Erniu and the others, but instead joined Cuihua and the others in doing evil.
Zhang Youyou still remembers the first time he met them.
Yang'er always follows Erniu with peace of mind. When she is bullied by the subordinates of other managers, Erniu and the others will stand up for her without hesitation.
The three of them are like the closest family.
However, the three sisters who were once good friends have now become the most familiar strangers.
Zhang You was also curious.
Why can people be so fickle?
They were so close just a moment ago, but the next second, they started to dislike each other.
Time has eroded years of friendship, leaving only unforgettable painful memories.
"Yeah." Zhang You didn't know what to say, but she also agreed with Huaer's words.
People like them, for one reason or another, gather here and try their best to survive.
Living is difficult enough, and you also have to be wary of the complicated human hearts.
In the end, one becomes increasingly indifferent due to the wear and tear of worldly affairs.
It is because Zhang You clearly understands this that he would rather suffer losses himself and still be willing to help others.
She has a stubborn kindness, and her sympathy for the weak cannot be erased even after repeated disappointments.
"Is Erya here? I work for the Second Miss. She needs to see her for something."
There was a knock on the door, and a girl wearing a lotus pink winter coat and two buns walked in.
She has thin eyebrows, round eyes, an oval face and dimples.
"I saw the door was open, so I came in. Do you mind?" She spoke in a friendly manner.
"Hello, I'm Erya, what can I do for you?"
Zhang You asked while sitting on the bed.
Seeing that she had something to discuss, Hua'er tactfully left.
"My name is Lanxiang, and I'm the Second Young Lady's personal maid.
How are you? You look better.
When you were in Ling Village, didn't you often bring things from the mansion to the Second Miss? Juxiang has told the Second Miss about it. After the Second Miss knew about it, she wanted to recruit you to our courtyard. When do you think you can move in?
"I?"
But that was only because the second lady gave me a hot water bottle on New Year's Eve.
I'm just returning the favor.
However, the second young lady was famous for her good temper, and if you went to her yard, you didn't have to wait for the autumn selection.
"Thank you, Second Miss! But I'm still sick now. I'll move over in two days when I'm well."
"Okay, then you take good care of it. I'll come take you there in a few days." Lanxiang said and left.
Huaer went in only after seeing her leave. Zhang You had nothing to hide, so she told her about it.
The wind and snow in Dingzhou come quickly and go away quickly.
After the snow melted, the sky cleared up.
Most of the snow on the ground has melted, and only the shady areas still have frozen snow.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and Zhang You stretched.
After a few days of rest, she was almost recovered.
She planned to move out in the afternoon, and in the morning she went to find Nanny Chang and Chef Chen to greet them and give them some gifts she had prepared.
After all, it is a new year, and we need a new beginning.
When moving out, Zhang You said goodbye to Huaer and the others, and gave them a few bottles of lipstick that she had left over from selling.
Zhang You was taken by Lanxiang to the house in the northwest corner of the yard.
The room was small but clean, with only one bed inside.
"Sister Lanxiang, is this my room?" Zhang You was a little shocked.
She was still a servant, but she was assigned a single room.
"This is the Second Miss's instruction. You will follow me from now on. The Second Miss likes to grow flowers and plants. You and I will help her take care of them. They are all simple tasks. The Second Miss has always been tolerant to others and will not treat us harshly." Lanxiang's mouth twitched when she said the previous words, but she still finished with a smile.
Zhang You did not miss the jealousy in Lanxiang's eyes.
But she still pretended to be ignorant and was grateful to have met a good master like the Second Miss.
If it was because the second lady promoted her at the beginning that she had given her something.
So what are these arrangements now for?
Zhang You is not a fool. She knows that what she did was just what a servant should do. It was nothing at all and it would be difficult to leave a deep impression on her master.
Zhang You didn't believe that Qiao Er was kind-hearted, so kind that he would repay a favor.
Especially in this era.
But she hasn't noticed what Qiao Er is doing yet, so she plans to wait and see.
After packing up his things, Zhang You was brought to Qiao Er.
It was the first time that Zhang You saw these masters up close.
Qiao Er, Qiao Lanyin, was born with a good-looking appearance.
She has willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, skin as white as cream, and black hair tied in a lily bun, with two strands of hair hanging on both sides of her cheeks, looking gentle and soft.
She sat on the couch, warming herself by the fire, wearing a red, double-breasted jacket and a pleated skirt embroidered with lotus flowers. On her wrist was a white jade bracelet, delicate in texture, which accentuated her fair complexion.
You can tell it's well maintained.
After secretly looking at her, Zhang You lowered his head.
"This servant has met the second young lady."
After careful instruction from Nanny Chang, Zhang You has mastered this etiquette, kneeling and bowing with a smile on his face.
"Get up. Are you Arya?"
Qiao Er's voice, like the gentle breeze, floated gently into Zhang You's ears.
"yes."
Zhang You lowered his head and replied calmly.
"Your name really doesn't fit our courtyard. How about I give you a new name? How about Lianxiang?"
"Thank you, Second Miss, for the name."
"You don't have to be so reserved. I didn't ask you to come here to suppress you. Since you have come to my yard, you are mine. I will not treat my people unfairly."
"I know that the Second Young Lady is considerate of me and has arranged such a good place for me to live. I am deeply grateful. From now on, I will obey your orders."
Zhang You imitated the way loyal servants expressed their loyalty in the movies and TV shows he had watched before, and knelt down to express his stance.
At least so far, Qiao Er hasn't done anything to hurt her.
Qiao Er seemed to like the way she easily trusted others.
With a light chuckle, she asked her personal maid Jinglan to help Zhang You up.
