9. Loyal servant
Xiao Miao looked at Mama Yao, who was standing with a straight waist and a non-humble face, and only felt depressed for a while, and wanted to say a few kind words to pull the relationship, but when she looked at her, she knew that she was a master who did not eat oil and salt. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Originally, although the old lady was instructed, she wanted to be able to drag it out for a day, anyway, the old lady didn't want to see the two children in the long room, she would not say anything about herself, if the Yilan Courtyard asked, she only said that she was busy and forgot about it. As a result, this old man came to the door by himself, and if he still stopped him, what was it called? The people in the courtyard saw it, and it was really calculating, forcing her to send people over!
"Mama is an old man in the house, there is no reason to serve the younger generation, but Sister Qing named Mama, and I, as an aunt, can't shirk it, and I have to work hard!" Thinking of Yao Keqing's strange temperament, Xiao Miao's heart was even more unhappy, Brother Kang spent so much effort, but she was still lukewarm.
"The second lady is polite, this is the old slave's voluntariness, the second lady can look down on the old slave, it is the blessing of the old slave, where dare to say that she is tired! Besides, the old slave is the duty to serve the master! Mama Yao said without being salty, not caring at all about the ingredients provoked by Xiao Miao's words.
Hearing this, Xiao Miao's only felt that she was angry, and now everyone in the house calls her Mrs., but she prefers to call her the second lady, is this a deliberate reminder to remind her to see her identity clearly? "Although Sister Qing and Brother Shen have no mother, I treat them as if they were my own, and I have to take care of them carefully!"
"Yes, the old slave must abide by his duty and serve the second young lady and the third young master!" Mama Yao still has that tone. The angry Xiao Miao's seven orifices smoked, gritted his teeth and sent people to Yilan Courtyard!
As soon as Mama Yao left, Xiao Miao immediately poured a bowl of herbal tea before calming down the anger in her heart, what is the duty of prudence? Is this saying that he is not doing his duty and wants to put his hand in the yard of the longhouse? This old thing is really annoying! Cuiyu looked at Xiao Miao's face on the side, and didn't dare to say a word, Xiao Miao glanced at the cautious Cuiyu, and asked with some disgust: "What about Cuiyao?" ”
"Sister Cui Yao led Mama Yao to the front." Jade replied hurriedly.
"That's it, you go down, Cui Yao is back and let her come to me!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Jade hurried out.
Looking at Cuiyu's back, Xiao Miao sighed, among her four big girls, only Cui Yao was the most capable, but she was taken by Hou Ye, so she had to give it to him, fortunately, Cui Yao is a measured person, even if she is favored, she does not give birth to two hearts, she still serves by her side as usual, which makes her feel a little more comfortable.
"Miss Cuiyao is here." The mother-in-law under the door smiled and welcomed Cui Yao and Yao Mama in.
"Hello Miss Cuiyao!" Peaches came out with a curtain.
"What a girl doesn't have a girl! Don't go and tell your young lady that Mama Yao is here. Cui Yao said with a gentle smile.
"A girl is a girl, it's different from those of us who are subordinates." After Momoko said this, she ignored her and went straight into the house.
The pomegranate who was driven out smiled embarrassedly and explained: "She was just beaten up by Mama Fang, and she felt uncomfortable!" Sister, don't worry about her! ”
"How so! Who doesn't have a time when they're unhappy! Cui Yao still smiled gently.
Pomegranate didn't say much and led them into the house.
Yao Keqing sat on the couch reading with a calm face, Cui Yao stepped forward and bent her knees to say hello, and before she could open her mouth to explain her intentions, she saw her bow lightly and said to Pomegranate: "Take your sister Cui Yao to eat fruits!" Suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, then Pomegranate hurriedly took her hand and walked out, and said: "A few days ago, Mama Fang brought a kind of plum jerky from home, which is delicious!" The voices of the two grew apart.
Yao Keqing stepped forward to help Mama Yao who wanted to bow down, "Mama is an old man who has served my grandfather, how can I, as a junior, accept the courtesy of Mama!" ”
But Mama Yao insisted, "No matter how young the master is, he is also a master, and no matter how old the servant is, he is also a slave, Miss respects the old slave and speaks to the old slave, that is the dignity of the old slave, but the old slave can't forget the duty of being a slave!" ”
Yao Keqing had no choice but to sit on the couch and accept a gift from Mama Yao, she knew that Mama Yao recognized her as her master, she used to serve by her grandfather's side, her master was her grandfather, so she could calmly accept her respect, but now she thinks she is the master, she can't take it big, she can think that she is a capable and faceful loyal servant for her now, but it is a great joy, she is young now, her younger brother is younger, even if she lives a long life, she is not their opponent at all, She must muster all the forces at her disposal to keep herself and her brother safe.
"Mama is willing to take care of our sister and brother, I am very grateful, since Mama has made everything so clear, I will not be polite to Mama. I want Mama to go to Qifang Pavilion to take care of Shen'er, I really don't worry about that Mama Du! Yao Ke got straight to the point.
Mama Yao didn't seem to be surprised at all that she made such an arrangement, and bowed down, "Everything is subject to Miss's orders, the old slave asked the little grandson of the old slave family to wait outside the second gate with the old slave's bedding, and asked the young lady to assign someone to bring it in, and the old slave can move into the Qifang Pavilion today." ”
Seeing that Mama Yao was doing things so neatly, Yao Keqing was very happy, and hurriedly asked people to go to the second gate to pick up Mama Yao's bags, and led Mama Yao to Yao Qishen's yard.
Yao Qishen was very happy about the arrival of Mama Yao, because Mama Yao used to take care of their sister and brother, but after the death of the old marquis, the Miao family drove people out.
But Mama Du's face is not very good-looking, the third young master is young, everything depends on himself, he is the only person in this courtyard, but now he has a higher status than himself, and he will be subject to others everywhere in the future, the more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he feels, but looking at Mama Yao's serious face, he doesn't dare to say a word of complaint.
Summoned all the girls and mothers-in-law in the courtyard, Yao Keqing motioned to Mama Fang to speak, and Mama Fang said loudly: "Mama Yao is the person who has served the three generations of masters of the Yao family, and from now on she will serve the fourth generation, and everything in this courtyard will be led by Mama Yao in the future. Did you hear that? ”
The people below responded in unison: "I heard it!" "Let Mama Yao say a few words and let everyone disperse, Mama Du saw that Mama Yao was so majestic, and she was a little disapproving, what if there was a young lady's support, the third young master grew up eating his own milk, look at who he kisses! Seeing Yao Qishen talking excitedly around Mama Yao, I gradually felt a sense of crisis in my heart. Make up your mind to find a way to reclaim your position.
Not to mention what Mama Du plans to do, Yao Keqing's sister and brother and Yao Mama are very harmonious, originally the sister and brother used to be happy under the knees of the old marquis, and they were already familiar with Mama Yao, but now there is no old marquis in front of them, Yao Qishen let go of all kinds of coquettishness in Mama Yao's arms, Mama Yao is not annoyed, always coaxing him with a smile.
But Yao Keqing is because of a big help now, his brother's safety has been temporarily guaranteed, and his heart is much more relaxed, looking at his brother's sweet smile, he was also infected and played with him for a while, and watched people clean up the house where Yao Mama lived before returning to his yard.
When I entered the house, I saw the peach sitting on the embroidered upper of the pedal with a puff, seeing that the size was made for Yao Keqing, and the pomegranate was also calm next to him, Mama Fang thought it was two girls arguing, so she joked: "Yo!" What's the matter, who gave us peaches to be angry? Look at this little face bulging and almost become a toad. ”
"Even if you really become a toad, that's better than some people!" Momoko twisted her face and choked. Mama Fang didn't expect Peaches to be really angry, and she had nothing to say for a while.
Pomegranate couldn't help it, Rao is her good nature, and she can't stand being faceless like this: "The slave doesn't know what's wrong with her, so she throws her face to Cui Yao for no reason, Cui Yao is the first proud person in front of the master and the second lady, the slave and the maid are afraid that she will offend people, and she will be embarrassed in the future, so she kindly persuaded her to make peace, she just ignored it, but turned around and said that the slave and maid are nosy, and the slave and maid are also kind, but she ......practices like this" Speaking of this, she actually bit the handkerchief and cried.
Seeing that the trouble was not good, Mama Fang shouted: "You are still so presumptuous in front of Miss, your skin is itchy, right!" Don't blame me for ignoring your face as a big girl, one person and one board. ”
Yao Keqing frowned and was silent for a moment, and asked Peach, "What's going on?" What are you doing if you can't get along with Cui Yao for no reason? Where did she offend you? ”
Peaches blushed and didn't speak, seeing this, Mama Fang felt strange, "Miss asked you!" Don't say it yet! ”
"You can't say that!" Peach still didn't say it, and Mama Fang felt even more strange, "If you have anything to say, if you are wronged, you can say it, and Miss will be able to call the shots for you!" ”
Peaches glanced at Yao Keqing, and saw that her young lady was sitting calmly, and finally couldn't speak, "Mama, it's not a slave who doesn't say it, I'm really afraid of dirty Miss's ears!" ”
"It's okay, just say it!" Peach looked at Mama Fang, then at Pomegranate, and finally came out with Pan.
So that's what happened. A while ago, the whole family was busy with the funeral of the old marquis, and the family did not have enough manpower, so they transferred people from each courtyard, and there were peaches taken away from the secluded pavilion. One night, she was going to the kitchen to pass a word, in order to save trouble, she took a shortcut, passed through the bamboo garden, and was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, when she suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the west wing, and listened attentively, it was the voice of a man and a woman, and she was suddenly startled, how could there be a man in the garden at night? When I walked in and listened to it again, suddenly, my footsteps froze, it was the voice of the old man and Cui Yao, and the two of them were actually ...... She was a little girl who had not yet come out of the pavilion before she had seen this, she blushed and was about to run away, and she was afraid of being seen by the people in the house, so she had to run away secretly with shame. Afterwards, the more I thought about it, the more disgusting I felt, this was still in the filial piety period, the old marquis was still cold, but the old man and Cui Yao were ...... It's shameless......
Everyone was taken aback when they heard Peach's words, although Peaches was subtle, Yao Keqing was not a real child, so he naturally understood! Yao Keqing never thought that her father was such a person, although in her previous life, she felt that her father was not a decent gentleman, but she didn't expect him to be so disrespectful of etiquette, righteousness and shame, and couldn't help frowning.
Mama Fang saw Yao Keqing frowning and thought that she didn't understand what Peaches said, her heart was a little relieved, but she still blamed herself, she should have pulled Peaches in private and asked clearly, how could Miss know these things!
Taking advantage of Yao Keqing's blank face, Mama Fang warned the two girls in righteous words, lest they leak their mouths in the future and Yao Keqing will know about this dirty thing!
"Today's words, I hope only a few of us know, you also rot this thing in your stomach, as if this thing has never happened, you have not heard it, you have not seen it, and you will do what you should do in the future!"
The two girls responded with a serious face, Mama Fang was afraid that Yao Keqing would ask, so she was busy diverting the topic, Yao Keqing, who had already known it, understood Mama Fang's painstaking efforts, and chatted about something else along Mama Fang's mind.
