Chapter 45: Rules and Manners (3)

Knowing that she was barely passing, she and the two maids couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that the two grandmothers had let her pass. This anger was too obvious, and they were all in a hurry and smiled at the two grandmothers embarrassedly.

When the two grandmothers saw them like this, they also smiled at them, and sympathized in their hearts: This girl is so fat, it is not easy to do this.

This Chen Jiao'er finally saw that the two grandmothers were very attentive to her Chen Zhen'er. Yesterday she asked the fourth prince. The master said, Mama Rong is easy to say, Mama Yan is not smiling on weekdays, her expression looks more serious, but it is not so difficult to get along, so she doesn't have to worry, just do her best. Why did she look at Mama Yan and smile straight at Chen Zhen'er, where was a cold face that did not smile. Obviously, Chen Zhen'er learned this rule so-so, how could she please the two grandmothers? Chen Jiao'er felt a little apprehensive, but it was not good to show it on the face, I just hoped that she Chen Zhen'er would have more foreign appearances, and see how long the two grandmothers could tolerate her.

After learning the rules of seating, I can finally raise chopsticks. Seeing that the hot porridge was gone, she was also a little anxious. I regret it a little, I knew that I had eaten it beforehand. But right now, I can only stare at the food in front of me, and I can't wait for it in my eyes. She didn't notice that this caused the two grandmothers to have a smile in their eyes, and they all wanted her to eat breakfast in their mouths as soon as possible.

She thought about it beforehand, and ordered two more dishes and chopsticks to be prepared. But Mama Rong did not sit down, and it was still Mama Yan who sat down alone.

At this time, Mama Yan looked at the other extra pair of chopsticks and said, "This bowl can be withdrawn, and there is still a shortage of chopsticks." ”

It was in her house, and Pear and Plum looked at each other, and Plum immediately ran away.

Rong Mama said: "On the surrounding table, you can't get up to take the food, you can't get it if it's far away, but there is no reason to be wronged and not eat." In addition, the sleeves of the daughter's house are wider than those of the man, so it is inconvenient to take the dishes nearby. So the maid waited for the food. But you can't say it, you can only rely on your eyes to signal. This is mainly a test of the maid's eyesight. You may not be able to learn for a while, so let's try it today. If you clip the wrong dish, the two masters may wish to correct it. ”

She immediately remembered that this had been the case at the wedding banquet the other day. At that time, they sat around a large round table with the saint, the queen, the general, the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince and their concubines, as well as the three protagonists, a total of twelve people, sitting around a large round table, and six maids standing behind them. During this period, these six maids were serving their own masters from time to time to take dishes from afar, and they didn't see anyone open their mouths to give orders. The amount you take each time is enough to eat three or five bites, and you don't have to work all the time. Especially on the queen's side, she never picked up her own food during the whole process, no matter how far or near. It's just that she didn't understand this rule at that time, and it wasn't pears or plums that were serving behind her, but Chen Jiaoer herself took the initiative to stand and serve from the beginning, during which the four princes and Chen Jiaoer were tightly adding wine to her, but they also knew how to help her take a few bites of food to eat. In addition, she is not a picky eater, and she can only get the food in front of her, so she doesn't use the maid behind her.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, there are not many times in the general's mansion when the general's father is in the mansion, but unfortunately the general's father is rarely in the mansion, and there are also maids who have helped with this. But it is the master who asks for it, and the maid will help take the dishes from a distance, and just pick them up by herself when they are close. And it seems that the kitchen maid in the general's mansion will put the dishes preferred by the masters in the appropriate position when they are distributing the dishes, so that the masters can pick them up, and very few people still want to clip the dishes from afar. The rules in the general's mansion are still not as strict as those in the palace. But if you think about it, the sitting table in the palace may be much larger.

When Meizi came back, the two extra chopsticks, Mama Yan asked Lizi and Liu'er to take them.

Mama Rong said: "Please start the meal with the two masters." ”

The two grandmothers didn't say much about the food and sleep, the food in the mouth should not speak, the soup should not make a sound, and every bite on the chopsticks should not leave crumbs. She and Chen Jiaoer themselves are also doing very well.

This time, Liu'er didn't do as well as pears. In fact, it's no wonder that Liu'er has no eyesight than pears. It was clear that neither Liu'er nor Pear had ever served at the table. But Pear eats with her a lot of times, and she always knows what she likes to eat the most. At this time, she doesn't have to wait for her eyes, as long as the pear keeps helping her with the dishes, she will eat happily.

Chen Jiao'er on the other side obviously just couldn't bear it and didn't want to say that Liu Er had the wrong dish. It's just that the head in that eye became more and more impatient, and glared at Liu Er viciously several times. But it made Liu Er scared, and she couldn't tell which dish Chen Jiaoer wanted her to clip. Liu Er's hand trembling in the end, and as a result, "pop", a bean sprout fell on the table, and it seemed to make a loud noise in a trance.

Mama Rong and Mama Yan kindly wanted them to eat a few bites to pad their stomachs first, and after enduring it for a while, they couldn't stand it anymore at this time.

Now it seems that the two grandmothers are mainly training her and Chen Jiaoer's maids to learn to serve at the dinner table, but in fact, they are mainly preparing for the two of them to have the opportunity to participate in the palace banquet in the future. When the time comes, they will have to bring their own maids into the palace to serve? The maids in the palace are naturally well-trained. As long as they can make that look, the maids in the palace will not pick up the wrong dishes.

But, look at them. One is that he has too much tacit understanding with his own maid, and he only cares about eating with his head down, and he doesn't need to look at him. One of them, there is no tacit understanding with his own maid, so many eyes, but only the complaining eyes let the maid understand, and today I made it clear in advance that I could speak, and I had to endure not to say it, just complaining about the maid with my eyes. Look at the scared girl, the dishes are all clipped, if this is really at the palace banquet, the twenty boards of the maid who made a mistake are considered to be less, and it is possible to drag it out directly and cut off her head. Do you blame the maid? You can't blame the master for making the maid's hands tremble. Mama Rong and Mama Yan looked at it, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu'er.

"Stop!" Mama Yan's face was flat, and her majesty was fully displayed, so that the four of them suddenly stopped moving. She just took a mouthful of porridge in her mouth and didn't dare to chew it.

Yan Mama and Rong Mama didn't say a word, snatched the chopsticks from the hands of Lizi and Liu Er, and stood beside her and Chen Jiaoer in person.

"Please continue the meal. I saw that Mama Yan and Mama Rong had extremely kind smiles on their faces.

She felt panicked, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva, but she swallowed the porridge without chewing it.
