Cui Ling remained silent, and the expression on her face was calm.

But she felt a sudden wave of shock, surprise, resentment, and heartache. All kinds of complex emotions surged up, making people feel very depressed.

The maid of the first-class Earl's Mansion has fallen to the point where she can only eat the leftovers and cold dishes of other people. This is a sign of decline!

The glory and wealth of Anning Bo Mansion will not last long.

Seeing that he was about to reach the yard of the fifth bedroom, Mu Jin smiled and said to the woman, "The nanny can speak, and she has been liked by the ninth aunt, so she will be rewarded today."

She smiled and said, "Mum is a smart person. I don't need to say more about what to do in the future?"

The woman smiled flatteringly, "I know, I know."

Aunt Ninth was generous and rewarded her with a huge sum of three taels of silver, which was enough to her salary for more than half a year. Not everyone has the blessing of such unexpected wealth.

She was also lucky. Among the many guides, she had the only one who had the eyesight and came to the ninth aunt's house.

As for the future, this hibiscus girl will make it clear. As long as the ninth aunt comes next time, she will say all the things in the mansion like today, she will naturally have a reward.

This is to call her Jiugu***'s eyes.

Anyway, she was willing to inquire about these family matters, and now she can get so much money with no effort to say anything. If there are such good things in the future, she will of course say everything.

While talking, I had already reached the entrance of the yard of the five bedrooms.

When Cui Ling went in, An was sitting in front of Cui Chengkai's couch and sobbing quietly. "I can't live this life anymore."

Cui Chengkai was seriously ill and had just calmed down. He was in better spirits, but his face was still very bad.

He sighed deeply and said with some remorse, "It's all my fault. I've been emptied of your private money when I see this disease. Now that the situation at home is like this, I can't even think that I'm as generous as others."

There was no one in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and the servants in the needle and thread room, the large kitchen of the washing room and the clothes were passive and lazy. In addition, the mansion had not issued any bans in a long time, and these servants were on strike.

Want to let them work? OK, but they have to get the money.

This is the current situation of Anning Bo Mansion.

The fifth house was the poorest, and Cui Chengkai was always in charge of the idle laborer, and he didn't get much money. Later, when he got sick, he even stopped going to the yamen. He was idle all day and spent a lot of money on medical treatment.

The prince’s wife invited the imperial physician to see him, so the medical expenses and medical expenses are naturally considered to be paid.

But when An saw that those medicines were not cured after taking them, he did not believe in the so-called folk remedies. He used precious medicinal materials very little, and all of them cost a lot of money.

She was born in illegitimately. The dowry was not as rich as others. Over the years, Cui Chengkai had no other business, and she also spent a lot of money on the children.

Now that I’ve been called Cui Chengkai, I’ve had trouble a few days ago and I’ve been short of money and I don’t have much money left.

So, let alone the big kitchen, whether it is a washing room, a needle and a thread room, or a large kitchen. Who should take care of those servants if they don’t have enough of the management?

The clothes were washed, but the dirty areas should still be dirty when they were sent back.

The new clothes that should be put down are coming down. But none of them fits the big ones, and the small ones are small. If they are asked to send them back for replacement, they don’t know how long it will take to wait. The ones sent again are still inappropriate.

As for the big kitchen, it's even more miserable.

Those in the kitchen always focus on cooking dishes that cost more. When it’s the turn of the fifth room, it’s basically past the meal. Sometimes the food is cold and the rice is still hot, and sometimes the food is hot, but the rice is cold.

There is never a hot meal.

An herself is fine, she is not unable to endure hardship.

Cui Chengkai can't eat these coarse foods here, and he still uses medicine and porridge to keep them, so he is not afraid.

But when several children were growing up, they could not bear such suffering. They were spoiled and raised. Now Anning's mansion has not yet broken up, but they have lived such a hard life.

An is grievance for the children.

Cui Ling stopped at the door for a while, but after thinking about it, he still asked someone to pass it on before entering.

When An saw Cui Ling coming, he hurriedly wiped his tears and pretended to smile, "Grandma Ninth is here? I saw that the second and third sisters-in-law and the others said that the family was in chaos. If you don't ask the married girl to come back, you will also ask the errand-run woman to go to the Yuan family to deliver a letter."

She paused slightly, but became a little curious, "Why did Auntie come?"

Cui Ling smiled and said, "I haven't seen my father for many days, and I want to come and see him."

After hearing An's words, she understood what was going on.

Those errand-running women have been arguing for the past few days, and they don’t care about the words of the fifth room in their eyes, so there are people saying things from other aunts, but no one comes to her.

Fortunately, no one came here to pass the message, otherwise if she didn't come today, wouldn't she miss this good show?

Not to mention the hundreds of years since the founding of the Sheng Dynasty, even from ancient times to the present, the master of the Bo Mansion did not even give him hot rice, but also depends on the face of the servant.

Although those people were also causing trouble because of the owed wages by the Bo’s mansion, the reason was that the Bo’s mansion was the fault, these people were just picking the persimmons, not asking for trouble for the prince’s wife, not arguing with the eldest wife, and bullying the fifth wife and other people who had no power to fight back.

This is simply infuriating.

Cui Ling, Wulang and Cui Chengkai saluted, exchanged a few greetings, and asked about his condition.

Cui Chengkai smiled and said, "Dr. Tang's medicine really works. He is already taking the seventh dose. He has come once on New Year's Eve, saying that the most dangerous moment has passed, so I just need to take a good rest next time."

He went back and forth without seeing the two children, and said with a little regret, "I will bring Ke'er and Yi'er next time. I haven't seen them for a long time."

Cui Ling nodded with a smile, "It was snowing in the middle of the night last night. Although it melted most of the time in the morning, the road was still a little slippery. The old lady was worried that it was cold outside, so the two children did not come."

She paused, "Let's wait next time, let's wait next time, my father will be fine. I'll ask my two children to stay with you for two days."

Cui Chengkai said with a look of his head, "You kid, you are talking nonsense. The uncle's mansion is so messy now, and I have nothing here. How can I ask the two kids to come and play?"

He murmured in a low voice, "I think your brother and sister have been talking about it several times, and they have not seen their little nephew or little niece yet."

Cui Ling's eyes moved. After a while, she smiled and said, "I'm not talking nonsense."

She pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "My father needs to rest in this body. I don't think it's possible to be in the uncle's mansion. The uncle's mansion is now in a mess. It's so bad that it can't calm down. Why not, why not stay in the outside farm?

Even if you want to separate the family, it will not be something that can be done in one day or two days.

The most urgent task is to move Cui Chengkai, An, and three younger brothers and sisters out from here first.

Originally, the Yuan family’s Dongshan Biezhuang was a good place. They had just been to the past few days and the village was cleaned up. It was clean and there was floor heating, warm and quiet, making it a good place to rest.

However, this is the Yuan family's property after all.

Most of the men in the prosperous dynasty, especially scholars, were a little arrogant and backbone.

Cui Chengkai, the old father-in-law, will definitely not be willing to go to the son-in-law's house to recuperate, or will take the family with him.

If this is spread, how do you ask others to view him?

So, Cui Ling simply stopped mentioning this.

She thought for a while and asked, "Father, do you still remember the farm you often took me to when you were a child? If you were willing, you would pack up in the past few days. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will pick you up. What do you think?"

Before she was three years old, when her mother Luo was still alive, she remembered that the family of three often went to that farm.

The village is not big, it is in the southern suburbs and is surrounded by farmland.

On summer nights, I always fall asleep with the sound of cicadas and frogs. Although it is noisy, it sounds so safe. This is the natural smell.

I haven't been there in winter, and I don't know how the cold prevention measures are being taken there.

But Cui Ling thought that it was probably okay. Today is only the second day of the lunar month. From the sixteenth day of the year, there is still half a month left. As long as you can afford to pay for the repair, let alone change a few warm curtains, you can even build a hot kang.

It will be no problem to burn a few more charcoal furnaces and have a warm winter.

After hearing this, Cui Chengkai showed reverie on his face.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Ling'er, you still remember..."

He thought that the three-year-old child would have any memories, but Cui Ling told him clearly that she still remembered the past when she went to the Nanjiao Manor.

So, does it mean that the child also remembers the death of her mother?

After finally calming down, an inexplicable mood suddenly surged up, and Cui Chengkai felt a little hurt in his chest.

He said embarrassedly, "Then the farm is your mother's dowry. When you were married, I had already handed it to you."

The implication is that this is already my daughter's property, so he can't follow him anymore.

Cui Ling smiled and said, "Even if the farm is for me, can't I, a daughter, ask my father to stay there for a while?"

She turned to An and said, "The farm not only has a pond, but also a swing. My younger brothers and sisters will definitely like it."

An knew in his heart that Cui Ling must have heard something outside that she was eager to get them to leave the Cui family.

She was very grateful for this feeling, but she felt a little restrained.

No matter what, it was the dowry of the vanguard of the vanguard, and now it was given to Cui Ling again.

If the three children went to play, it would be legitimate, but what would it be like to live with Cui Chengkai?

Although it does not violate etiquette and regulations, if someone knows, they will definitely talk gossip behind their backs.

However, compared to those few gossips that were not painful, An now is more eager to leave this Anning Bo Mansion.

It is not the most serious thing that she hates the eldest and second bedrooms, who always come over to make trouble from time to time, which is so affecting people's rest.
