Chapter Fifty-Nine: Sheltering This Girl as a Maid
Lu Xiaoqian bit her silver teeth, and silently used a vice behind Shen Wansan's back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The pain was so painful that Shen Wansan cried out to the sky and grabbed the ground, and when he saw Lu Xiaoqian's eyes breathing fire, he immediately snorted: "There is no maid around Tianxi to serve, Tianxi can stay." ”
Yao Tianxi turned a blind eye to Li Qi'er's softness and coquettishness, and subconsciously shook his head, "I'm not used to being close to women, and I don't need maids." ”
Shen Wansan and Lu Xiaoqian rolled their eyes in unison, and secretly scolded themselves: You are not used to being close to women, why do you help Ma Xiuying to get on the boat and sit together to watch the scenery.
"Brother Yao, do me a favor, anyway, your family is not short of a ration. Ma Xiuying persuaded, as for Shen Wansan, she didn't count on it, Lu Xiaoqian's pinch she could see clearly.
"This ......" Yao Tianxi was very embarrassed, he took a woman back for no reason, the family must be cranky, and Ma Xiuying was pleading for mercy if he didn't take Li Qi'er back.
"Childe, please, I am willing to ...... slave and maid" Li Qi'er grabbed the ground with her head and kept begging. The fair skin loomed in the black hair, and the delicate and slender fingers helplessly scratched at the damp dirt, which aroused a trace of pity even more.
Shen Wansan swallowed his saliva and winked at Yao Tianxi, "It's pitiful, we can't see death without help." ”
Yao Tianxi choked coldly: "You can take it back, anyway, your yard is big." ”
Lu Xiaoqian frowned and snorted before Shen Wansan spoke: "There is a weaver girl in Zhenfengli Town, if the girl is willing, I can introduce you to try the job." ”
Li Qi'er raised her head timidly, "I didn't have a household registration when I escaped......"
Everyone is silent, in this era, large workshops will not recruit people without identity certificates, and small workshops will use black workers but the remuneration is very small, especially if a beautiful woman like Li Qi'er strays into the wolf's den, even if she is humiliated and sold, no one will come forward to speak.
Li Qi'er smiled miserably, "If you young masters and young ladies can't help, I'd rather die and keep my innocence......"
"I think she is really desperate, God, you will do a good deed that day, Uncle Yao will definitely agree. Shen Wansan coughed, he wanted to bring Li Qi'er back, but Lu Xiaoqian obviously disagreed, he only offended Lu Xiaoqian today, and now he can't make Lu Xiaoqian angry anymore.
Yao Tianxi still refused, "You don't have a household registration, I can't help you." ”
Shen Wansan's mind turned quickly, "She can sign the deed of sale, and if she becomes your servant, no one will gossip." ”
Li Qi'er bit her lip, looked at Yao Tianxi's cold face, and said with determination: "Yes, I am willing to sign a deed of sale, and I only ask the young master to take it in." ”
"Young Master Yao, is this okay? When I foster Li Qi'er in your house, I will compensate you how much food she eats!" Ma Xiuying was slightly angry, how could these rich young ladies not even have any sympathy.
"Miss Ma," Yao Tianxi called out in annoyance, usually Ma Xiuying called him Brother Yao, but now calling him Young Master Yao is obviously alienated. He was stunned in his heart, and saw that Ma Xiuying still looked bad, so he had to say to Li Qi'er: "If the girl doesn't dislike my Yao Mansion......"
"Don't dislike it! Don't dislike it!" Li Qi'er couldn't help but be overjoyed, Ying Ying bowed down, and immediately adapted to the role, "Slave and maid, thank you for the young master's containment." ”
"Little San, find a set of servant women's clothes at your house and change them for Li Qi'er first. Li Qi'er was settled, Ma Xiuying's heart was also put down, and she immediately beckoned everyone to return to Shen's house.
On the way, Lu Xiaoqian pulled Ma Xiuying aside and quietly reproached, "Why do you care about Li Qi'er, how can she, an official lady, be willing to be a maid, don't save a white-eyed wolf at that time." ”
Ma Xiuying smiled lightly, "Sister Lu has never tasted loneliness, I don't know how difficult it is for a helpless woman to wander in this world, we can help her." I don't expect her to repay the favor, it doesn't matter if it's a white-eyed wolf or anything. ”
Lu Xiaoqian pouted, "You, are you so relieved to leave Li Qi'er by Young Master Yao's side?"
Ma Xiuying asked strangely: "What's not to worry about?" Although Brother Yao is usually a little cold and arrogant, in fact, others are still very good and will not bully Li Qi'er. ”
"......" Lu Xiaoqian was speechless, what she was worried about was not that Li Qier was being bullied, but that Li Qier was willing to be "bullied". I didn't see that the woman was born with a foxy appearance, even if she made a soup chicken, she was very moving, if she changed into a costume, wouldn't it be seductive, which man could hold it, so she refused to contain Shen Wansan herself, and Shen Wansan was not allowed to contain it. But Ma Xiuying pushed Li Qi'er to Yao Tianxi's side, she could only sigh that Ma Xiuying was too young, and she didn't know how to cherish the teenager who was willing to change his mind for her with a word.
Li Qi'er, who has changed her clothes, is really bright and moving, even if she is wearing servant clothes and not wiping rouge, she can't hide her youth and beauty. She obediently followed behind Yao Tianxi, like a budding poppy. Many busy little guys couldn't help but slow down the movements in their hands when they saw her.
Shen Wansan smiled evilly, suggesting to Yao Tianxi, "There are flowers that can be broken and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches!"
Yao Tianxi replied impatiently: "If you want to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I will send her to your house." ”
Shen Wansan suddenly frowned and looked sad, and bent down to lift the clothes on his back, revealing a cloud of black green, "Lu Xiaoqian's vise is too powerful, I can't afford it." ”
Back in the main hall, the dinner was just in time to start, because Shen Wansan and Yao Tianxi were going to the men's courtyard, Lu Xiaoqian and Ma Xiuying led Li Qi'er to the women's courtyard.
In the afternoon, some of the ladies had left, and there were many fewer guests in the courtyard. Some ladies and ladies changed tables and sat down with friends they knew to chat. Only the Da Zhang family was still sitting at the luncheon table, and the Guo family sisters sat on the side angrily, and no one stepped forward to take care of them, and the whole table only saw the three of them, which looked very deserted.
Da Zhang, who was holding back his anger, said viciously when he saw Ma Xiuying: "Dead girl, where did you go in the afternoon? We are here to be guests in the Shen Mansion, so you don't make trouble for me." ”
Lu Xiaoqian, who came with Ma Xiuying, coughed and said lightly: "Mrs. Guo, I took Miss Ma out for an afternoon on my own initiative, please forgive me." ”
Da Zhang's only then noticed that Lu Xiaoqian and another beautiful woman were standing next to Ma Xiuying, and immediately restrained her anger and said with a smile: "Miss Lu is also here, I'm afraid that this girl is ignorant and accidentally offends the nobles, so it's good that she doesn't cause trouble." Then he looked at the beautiful woman and asked kindly: "Which house is this young lady from, she is so handsome." ”
"She is Young Master Yao's maid. Lu Xiaoqian replied casually, pointing to the vacant seat at Da Zhang's table and motioning for Li Qi'er to sit down, "You sit here first, and then go back to the house with Young Master Yao when the meeting is over." ”
Hearing that Li Qi'er was just a maid, Da Zhang's immediately stopped paying attention to Li Qi'er, turned his head and said to Lu Xiaoqian flatteringly: "Miss Lu, please take a seat, there is a vacant seat next to me." ”
"I'm sorry, I have to go to the main seat. Lu Xiaoqian glanced at Da Zhang with a smile, and Ying Ying retired.
The corners of Ma Xiuying's mouth curled slightly, and she pulled Li Qi'er to sit down. Lu Xiaoqian is the protagonist of today's banquet, how can there be anyone who does not sit at the main table and sit on the side, and Da Zhang's stammering people do not care about the occasion.
"What should be left is not kept, but what should not be left is kept. Da Zhang's face flushed, complained in a low voice, changed his words, and continued to blame Ma Xiuying, "Why don't you bring the big girl and the little girl when you go out to play with Miss Lu, so that they and Miss Lu are also close and close?"
"Didn't Miss Lu arrange for two servants to take them around? The eldest girl and the little girl didn't have enough fun?" Ma Xiuying almost choked, and it became my business that Lu Xiaoqian didn't want to associate with your daughter, and I didn't look at the dress of your two baby daughters, so no one wanted to be close.
Guo Daya grabbed Bai and said: "The two servants are as stupid as mallets, they don't know anything when they ask, and besides, it's not mountains or rivers here, what's so fun." Only people like you who have never seen the world can have fun for an afternoon. ”
It was rare for Guo Xiaoya not to echo her sister to ridicule Ma Xiuying, but asked Li Qi'er with a red face, "You are Young Master Yao's maid, are Young Master Yao here today? When did you come, why didn't you see Young Master Yao?"
Li Qi'er was overwhelmed by the question, and replied honestly: "The slave maid was only accepted as a maid by Young Master Yao today......"
"Today?" Guo Daya screamed, staring at Li Qi'er with an unkind face. She was very jealous of Li Qi'er's appearance, and suspected that this fox girl must have used some means to seduce Young Master Yao before being accepted as a maid.
Guo Xiaoya couldn't hide the jealousy in her heart, and said almost interrogatively: "How did you meet?
"Be quiet, the other tables are watching us. Ma Xiuying frowned and reminded the two. Not to mention that Yao Tianxi accepted Li Qi'er as a maid, even if Yao Tianxi married Li Qi'er home, he didn't care about their half-money, did these two people show an expression as if Li Qi'er had robbed their sweetheart.
"Don't eat, call someone to fetch your uncle, and we'll go home." Da Zhang put down his chopsticks and glared at the women warningly. The people at the tables around them all looked at them with visitative eyes, and some even had disdainful looks on their faces, which made her very embarrassed and unwilling to stay for a moment.
The Guo sisters closed their mouths stupidly, and they were not in the mood to eat.
"Li Qi'er and I haven't eaten yet. Ma Xiuying hurriedly picked out some dishes and put them in Li Qi'er's bowl, and ate them herself. Now if you don't eat enough, you have to go hungry, and the Guo sisters are hungry at night and have supper, but she can't enjoy this kind of treatment.
"Eat, eat, eat, it's like a starving ghost reincarnated! People who don't know still think that my Guo family is harsh on you, and you will know that you will be embarrassed all day long, and when you are ready, go back quickly!" Da Zhang did not let go of any opportunity to count Ma Xiuying, and urged her a few times.
Li Qi'er fidgeted with chopsticks and couldn't swallow, and she didn't understand why the family had such a bad attitude towards Ma Xiuying.
"Don't pay attention to them, eat you, you are not from our house, what do you care about them? Now you understand the reason why I can't contain you, right?" Taking advantage of the opportunity to pick up vegetables for Li Qi'er, Ma Xiuying whispered a few words in her ear.
"Well," Li Qi'er nodded gratefully, "Thank you for helping me intercede for Young Master Yao." I don't know what to do without you. ”
"It's good to be alive. Ma Xiuying patted the back of Li Qi'er's hand and ate the meal silently. Back then, she was also as broken and heartbroken as Li Qi'er, but she survived it, hoping that Li Qi'er could also survive and no longer hesitate and despair.
