Seeing the other party winking, the old lady nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand, "It's done, you and I have it in mind, you go down first."

"Yes." The butler humbly left.

Autumn is not over yet, and winter has come early. This year, it was cold early, and it was only in mid-November that there was a feeling of winter. A few days ago, there was a light snowfall.

A big family like Gu's, with so many masters and ladies living there, naturally wouldn't let them freeze, so they bought the charcoal back early.

Gufu Xiyuan.

Xiao Ziran was wearing thin clothes, looking at the ledger in the study, a cool wind came in from the slightly open window, Xiao Ziran shrank his neck, but he was too lazy to add clothes.

"Miss, it's really cold this day, put on your cloak quickly." Xiaoyu walked into the study with a soft cloak in his arms, closed the window by the way, walked up to Xiao Ziran, and put it on for her. robe.

"Miss, I'll make you a pot of hot tea to warm you up."

Xiao Ziran was too absorbed and didn't hear Xiaoyu's words.Xiaoyu walked lightly, afraid of disturbing Xiao Ziran, and closed the door silently after going out, afraid that the wind outside the door would make Xiao Ziran cold.

As soon as she ordered the little maid to make tea for Xiao Ziran, someone came to call her and said that charcoal was available in the warehouse, so she ran over in person immediately.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, come here." The warehouse manager saw Xiaoyu from a distance, waved to her, and shouted.

"It's almost winter, and the weather is very cold. The charcoal in the mansion has been bought, and all the courtyards are getting it in the hall. You can go!" said the manager while rubbing his hands.

"Okay!" Sure enough, as Xiaoyu expected, she thought that since Xiao Ziran was busy, she didn't need to tell her about such trivial matters, so she followed the warehouse manager to the hall.

The hall was lively, there were already many people, and they were all receiving charcoal, it was as warm as in summer.The maids and servants in each room lined up to get the charcoal, fighting while getting the charcoal, and they lost the rules when the masters were away.

"Thank you, brother!" The servant girl in Mrs. Gu's mansion kept winking at the warehouse manager, and affectionately called him big brother.

The storeroom was originally owned by the eldest lady, and the quality of the charcoal was not only the best, but there was also a lot of it. This maid also took two young servants, each carrying two large stoves of charcoal back home.

Everyone's eyes were on this servant girl, envious and jealous, but they didn't dare to say it to her face. After all, the servants in each room knew how powerful the eldest lady was, and the servants in her house were all arrogant and arrogant. Seniors are not to be trifled with.

Right now there is only the big house in the mansion, except for the serious master in the mansion, only Aunt Lian and her two children are left, but no one in the mansion knows that this Aunt Lian is the one whom the Elder Master puts on top of his heart. Dare to make things difficult.

Therefore, a lot of charcoal was allocated to each yard.

Soon it was Xiaoyu's turn, she stretched out her hand full of anticipation, but unexpectedly the warehouse manager only gave her a stove of charcoal, and the portion was very small, Xiaoyu was stunned on the spot.

"This...why I have so few..." Xiaoyu said to himself aggrieved.

The warehouse manager ignored her, turned around and went outside as if he didn't hear, while the servant who distributed the charcoal looked at her coldly and smiled contemptuously.

"Are you ready?" A maid in the back was very impatient, "Hurry up and go back after you have received it, don't delay us, we are busy, don't waste our time."

"That's right, go to the back, go to the back..." The maids behind Xiaoyu all booed together.

Xiao Yu was holding the stove of few charcoals, and was constantly being urged by the people behind, not knowing what to do.Just when she was struggling, the servant girl behind kicked Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu staggered and almost fell down.

She worked hard to balance her body, tightly grasped the stove of charcoal, and only thought that Xiao Ziran was still waiting for it to go back to keep warm.Xiaoyu felt very wronged, but she was timid by nature, but she just stood by and dared not speak.

"You...why did you give me so little charcoal...others have a lot..." Xiaoyu finally couldn't help asking, which was extremely difficult for her who was timid.

"Also, take a look, the charcoal in here is inferior, how can I use it for my cousin when I take it back?"

Xiaoyu feels very wronged in her heart, she is obviously such a good person, they want to bully her like this?

The servants around all looked at Xiaoyu, and the hall was quiet.

The charcoal-making servant cast a contemptuous look at Xiaoyu, and said to her with disdain: "Hey, isn't this Xiao Ziran's girl? What are you calling here!"

"How can you call my young lady by her first name..." Xiaoyu retorted.

The servant smiled disdainfully, folded his hands on his chest, raised his head and said to Xiaoyu: "You really regard your young lady as your master? She is just an orphan girl who went to the Gu family, the old lady pity her You just took her in, so why should you enjoy the treatment of the master?"

Facing such an arrogant servant, Xiaoyu was so angry that her teeth itch. For Xiao Ziran, she plucked up the courage to retort: ​​"Our young lady's mother is a married aunt in the family, and it's too late for the old lady to love her!"

Xiaoyu was startled, this was the first time in her life that she had quarreled with someone, and she didn't even know how she said those words.

"So what? Since you are here to join our Gu family, you should hide quietly in Xiyuan and never come out. It's you, don't forget who is the serious master on your head, who made the lady unhappy. Don't blame me for not reminding you." The servant said as he approached Xiaoyu.

"You..." Xiaoyu was not good at quarreling, and after being said that by him, he didn't know what to say anymore.

The maids watching the opera covered their mouths and laughed, and some whispered there.Xiaoyu understood that these people were watching his jokes.

"Let's go! Don't embarrass yourself here..."

"It's just..."

"It was quite arrogant just now..."

"It's a shame..."

The tiny words reached Xiaoyu's ears. Although she was angry, she had nothing to do with these people.It's better to leave, this place of right and wrong, it's better to escape.

"Wait!" Just as Xiaoyu was about to leave, the charcoal-burning servant stopped her.

Xiaoyu instinctively turned around and looked at him.

"Forget it, look at you, come and get some more." A sinister look flashed in the servant's eyes.

Xiaoyu didn't think too much about it at all, as soon as he heard that he could get more charcoal for Xiao Ziran, he immediately ran over with the stove.She didn't even think about how the person who just said that about her master could help her.

As soon as Xiaoyu passed by, the servant used a long iron tong to pick up a few pieces of inferior charcoal used by servants, and threw them directly at Xiaoyu's feet.Fortunately, she dodged it quickly, otherwise the charcoal would have hit her toes.

"Hahahaha..." The people on the side looked at Xiaoyu's frightened and downcast appearance, and laughed mercilessly.

"You..." Xiaoyu's eyes were a little moist.

"Your lady is only worthy of picking up the ground!" The servant laughed loudly after finishing speaking.

For Xiaoyu, it doesn't matter how much he is wronged, but if someone disrespects Xiao Ziran, he will protect his master with all his life.

Xiaoyu really couldn't bear his excessiveness, so she rushed forward. She didn't want to do anything, but subconsciously moved forward.Unexpectedly, the charcoal-burning servant stretched out his hand and pushed her. Xiaoyu was originally thin and thin, but after being pushed like this by him, he took a few steps back without any strength.

"Pa..." Xiaoyu bumped into the high platform in the corner, the vase couldn't withstand the shaking, fell down, fell to the ground and fell into pieces, and the audience was silent.

"Go and call the warehouse steward!" The two servants watching the theater finally spoke.

"I..." Xiaoyu stood there, staring at the fragments of vases on the ground, and was stunned.
