Chapter 52: Straighten your back

In the process of freshening up the sisters and brothers, Mrs. Zhang and Yingchun went to the small kitchen to fetch the food of the sisters and brothers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When they came back, their faces were obviously a little excited, and while putting the food on the table, Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Miss, Mrs. Wen in the kitchen today is very enthusiastic, and she has matched a lot of meals for the eldest lady and the fifth young master, which makes the slaves and maids flattered." ”

Mei Yixuan raised her eyes and looked at today's breakfast, which was really different from the past.

The crystal clear leek-filled egg dumplings, the thick red dates, yam and rice porridge, and several side dishes with meat and vegetables make people have a great appetite when they look at it.

Mei Yixuan praised: "Yes, come, Shengjie, come and eat." As he spoke, he took Mei Shengjie's thin, shriveled little hand and came to the table.

Mei Shengjie had long been salivated by the food on the table, and he also sang about the empty city plan in his stomach. Yesterday he didn't have enough to eat, so he endured it and fell asleep. Now when I heard my sister say that I could eat it, I hurriedly sat down on the chair, looked at the food on the table with my eyes open, and my saliva couldn't help but flow.

Mei Yixuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief in distress, and said, "Don't worry, my sister will let you eat enough today, eat slowly." However, you can't eat anymore, just eat enough, you know?"

Mei Shengjie scratched his head embarrassedly by what his sister said, and hurriedly nodded and said, "I know my sister, I won't eat it." ”

Mama Ye and Xingyu, who were standing on the side, hurriedly waited for the two masters to eat, and from time to time they sandwiched the food for them. As long as they looked at the two masters and took one more look at which dish, they immediately added it quickly.

Mei Yixuan and Mei Shengjie all sat upright at the dinner table, showing the good cultivation of the children of the big family. Especially Mei Shengjie, don't look at it, he was hungry for a long time, but he really did it at the dinner table, but he had a small face, and he couldn't help but exude a graceful and innocent momentum, which made Mei Yixuan secretly surprised.

Mei Yixuan's sister and brother had a good demeanor and quickly finished breakfast, and Mama Ye and the others quickly withdrew the rest of the meal.

When Mei Yixuan's sister and brother were eating, Mrs. Zhou and He Xiang had already brought the people's food, and as soon as Mei Yixuan's sister and brother finished eating, they immediately ate breakfast in their respective houses.

The leftover meals of Mei Yixuan's sister and brother were eaten by Mama Ye, Xingyu and Piaoxue, and the third-class maid and the rough envoy were not qualified to eat these meals.

Today, Mei Yixuan first had to go to the old lady to say goodbye, and then to the eldest lady to say goodbye, and finally to see Aunt Tong. She saw Mei Shengjie looking at herself with blank eyes and didn't want to be separated from herself, so she smiled and asked, "Do you want to go with your sister to say hello to your grandmother?"

Mei Yixuan knew that in this mansion, the status of the old lady was an unshakable existence, and even the eldest lady had to restrain her edge. Therefore, if the old lady can take care of Shengjie a little more, then Shengjie's situation in the mansion will not be so difficult.

When Mei Shengjie heard this, he frowned and thought about it, his face was gloomy, and he whispered: "Sister, grandmother・・・・・・ grandmother doesn't like me either・・・・・・"

Mei Yixuan was stunned for a moment, recalled it carefully, and found that the old lady in her memory was indeed extremely cold to Mei Shengjie. This realization made Mei Yixuan "chuckle" in his heart, and he became more and more suspicious of Mei Shengjie's life experience.

There are not many children and grandchildren of Meifu's generation, Mei Yunchen and his wife Cui Yurou gave birth to a son and a daughter, Mei Junjie and Mei Yingxuan. and two sons and two daughters born to three concubines, Mei Yixuan, Mei Shengjie, Mei Shijie, and Mei Suxuan. plus the four children of the second master Mei Yunkai, Mei Shaojie, Mei Bixuan, Mei Ruxuan, and Mei Ruijie, a total of ten grandchildren.

Although the old lady prefers her grandchildren, she is not very harsh on her grandchildren, and she is also amiable, so that her children and grandchildren can feel her kindness and tolerance.

However, only for Mei Shengjie, the old lady was always indifferent and never looked at him. is neither close nor estranged, but ignores it thoroughly, which makes Mei Shengjie's heart want to be close to a big hit.

Mei Yixuan felt very uncomfortable when she remembered the past, seeing that Mei Shengjie's body had not recovered well, she didn't want her younger brother to go to the old lady to have a hot face and stick to someone's cold ass. Therefore, she said softly in a consultative tone: "Is it okay for Xiaojie to wait for my sister at home?

Mei Shengjie listened, his face was gloomy, and he said happily: "Well, sister, go ahead, Xiaojie is waiting for my sister at home." ”

Mei Yixuan touched his head lovingly, looked up at Mama Ye and said, "Mama, the fifth young master's body has not recovered yet, and he needs to rest at home, Mama will take more care at home." ”

Mama Ye naturally agreed busily: "Don't worry, eldest lady, the slave and maid will take good care of the fifth young master, you can rest assured." ”

After speaking, she looked at the eldest lady and the fifth young master's close and reluctant appearance, and she was very relieved, and she sincerely liked and recognized the eldest lady who had changed her personality now.

Although the eldest lady in the past also thought about the fifth young master, she always didn't dare to show it in front of people, and she secretly sent some food when there was no one behind her. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady would rather eat less at every meal in the past few years, and think about the fifth young master, the fifth young master still doesn't know what to do.

Alas, the bitterness has finally come.

Mei Yixuan instructed before leaving: "Mama, you have to worry about the things in the yard, what should you do." ”

Mama Ye looked at Mei Yixuan and stopped talking, as if there was something unspeakable.

Mei Yixuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Mama Ye said with some embarrassment: "It's just ・・・・・・that we don't have much money, and there are still more than ten days before the moon silver is issued next month, and the slave only has more than one or two silver in her hands, I'm afraid it won't last until the end of the month・・・・・・"

Mei Yixuan listened, frowned and thought about it, and said, "Okay, I know, I'll figure it out then." ”

Mama Ye said with a sad face: "However, you have already sold all the jewelry that can be sold, what can you do?"

Mei Yixuan suddenly realized why she didn't have a few decent jewelry, so it was.

Xingyu, Piaoxue, Liu Wu and other maids quietly listened to the words of the eldest lady and Mama Ye, and everyone's faces showed gloomy and lost expressions to varying degrees.

In the entire Mei Mansion, only these servants who worked as errands in Ziyue Garden were the most pitiful. Not only did he not have any reward to take, but he also had to seize the time to do embroidery work to make up for the public middle school, and he had to be angry with the minions in other yards from time to time. Even if it's three meals a day, you won't get any benefits. To tell the truth, they are not uncomplaining in their hearts, other masters will support their minions in the house, but only their masters let a maid hold it, and their waists can't be straightened.

However, it is not without its benefits. At least the minions in other courtyards were beaten and scolded by their masters from time to time, and even more unlucky lives were gone, but they were much better than them in this regard.

However, this was before, and not necessarily now. Didn't Huixiang, who had a very hard backing, be killed by the eldest lady's cane? Nian Xia, who was bullying, was also beaten to the board. However, such a master made them see hope, and felt that they could finally straighten their backs in the house.

Mei Yixuan glanced at everyone, and naturally noticed the subtle activity in everyone's hearts, so she said with certainty: "Don't worry, Miss Ben will do what she says, I will find a way." ”
