Chapter 60: Staying in Qingfeng Garden to Serve
After a while, the guests said goodbye one after another, and the male guests also dispersed the banquet, and Zhang Tianyou asked people to wait in the front yard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone walked out of the women's courtyard, and just saw Shen Wansan and Yao Tianxi walking side by side, one of them was smiling, the other was not smiling, one was as enthusiastic as the rising sun, and the other was as cold as the bright moon. It's obviously two people with extreme personalities, and somehow they became friends.
The Guo sisters' eyes lit up, and they couldn't care about being shy, so they rushed forward to greet the two of them.
Ma Xiuying grabbed Li Qi'er, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. You must know that there is not only their family in the courtyard at this moment, but also other women and young ladies, especially Shen Wansan's fiancΓ©e Lu Xiaoqian is also present, can't the Guo family sisters be a little more reserved? I'm afraid that after today, the Guo family's reputation will be even worse.
Shen Wansan and Yao Tianxi were frightened by this sudden enthusiasm and could not stop in their tracks.
Shen Wansan put a smirk on his face and said perfunctorily: "The two Miss Guo really look like immortals today. After that, he looked at Lu Xiaoqian nervously.
Yao Tianxi responded lightly, then stopped paying attention to the Guo family sisters and looked at Ma Xiuying.
In front of everyone's eyes, Ma Xiuying didn't dare to be too casual, stepped forward to give a salute in a proper manner, and pushed Li Qi'er forward, "Young Master Yao, Miss Li will trouble you in the future." β
Yao Tianxi bowed his head and said, "Miss Ma, don't worry, I have already informed my father of this matter, and my father has agreed." β
Only then did the Guo sisters know that Ma Xiuying had kicked in Yao Tianxi's acceptance of Li Qi'er as a maid, and they all stared at Ma Xiuying with unkind faces. is jealous of Ma Xiuying's efforts to help outsiders, but she refuses to match herself, and even hates that as soon as Ma Xiuying appears in the sight of Shen Fu and Yao Tianxi, they become invisible.
Li Qi'er stood behind Yao Tianxu and said reluctantly: "Miss Ma, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again." Your great kindness, slave and maid will never forget. β
"You're welcome, you can see it naturally. Ma Xiuying smiled incomprehensibly, and said goodbye to Shen Wansan, Yao Tianxi, and Lu Xiaoqian one by one. Lin Xing whispered in Lu Xiaoqian's ear: "Don't worry, Xiao San can't look down on them." β
"My servants don't look down on it. Lu Xiaoqian was angry, it was the first time she had seen such a shameless woman and seduced her fiancΓ© in front of her.
Ma Xiuying joked, "Of course, Xiao San only has Jia Qianqian in his eyes." β
"I hate it!" Lu Xiaoqian couldn't help laughing, obviously remembering that she had deceived Shen Wansan in the afternoon, and at the same time remembering Yao Tianxi's eyes paying attention to Ma Xiuying, she couldn't help but pout at the back, "You, you can see it very clearly, and you are confused." β
"Why am I confused?" Ma Xiuying was confused, and also looked back, everyone is normal.
"I'm too lazy to say more to you!" Lu Xiaoqian sent Ma Xiuying away, and then looked at Li Qi'er who was following behind Yao Tianxi, and finally stomped her feet and turned to leave.
Li Qi'er followed Yao Tianxi back to Yao's mansion, which naturally caused fluctuations in the mansion, and the mansion was very curious that the young master actually brought a beautiful woman back.
Yao Tianxi explained to his father the reason why he took in Li Qi'er at the table.
After returning home, Yao Zhenzhi personally inquired about Li Qi'er's situation, and saw that her family background was innocent and pitiful, and finally agreed to let her stay. As soon as he and his wife got together, they had another plan in their hearts: why does his son usually not get close to women, why do he pity Li Qi'er, is it because his son suddenly opened up about love. Now that Shen Fu is about to get married, but his son has no idea of marrying a daughter-in-law, maybe Li Qi'er can change his son's cold attitude towards women.
Mrs. Yao was even more anxious, when her son reached Mu Shaoai's age, the only woman she cared about was Guo Fu's adopted daughter, how could this work. She specially called Li Qi'er over and advised, "Since the young master left you, you will stay in Qingfeng Yuan to serve the young master in the future." If the young master is uncertain about something, you remember to tell me. As long as you treat the young master wholeheartedly, my Yao family will not treat you badly. Although you are just a maid now, if you wait for the young master in the future, it is not impossible to raise you as a concubine. β
Li Qi'er's heart was pounding, and she raised her head with joy and shame, "The slave and maid keep in mind Madame's teachings. The slave maid didn't dare to be delusional, and she would definitely serve the young master wholeheartedly. β
"She's a clever girl. Mrs. Yao nodded with satisfaction and informed Yao Tianxi to come and receive someone.
Yao Tianxi's brows suddenly twisted into a ball, he originally intended to leave Li Qi'er in Yao's Mansion and leave it alone, who knew that his parents wanted him to take him back to Qingfeng Garden.
Mrs. Yao observed her words and said, "You brought this girl back, where will she stay if you don't stay in Qingfeng Garden?" If you don't want to, I'll let her out of the house." β
"Young Master. Li Qi'er immediately looked at Yao Tianxi pitifully.
"You come with me. Yao Tianxi said helplessly, it was impossible for him to really let his parents drive Li Qi'er out of the house at night. Since he promised Ma Xiuying, he must do things well.
Mrs. Yao smiled slyly, it seems that her son is really unusual to Li Qi'er.
After entering Qingfeng Garden, Li Qi'er was about to serve tea and pour water, Yao Tianxi said lightly: "You don't have to treat yourself as a servant, and you don't need to do these things, I'm not used to others touching my things." β
Li Qi'er knelt down and said eagerly: "The slave and maid did something wrong, and the young master just beat and scolded, but the young master didn't let the slave and maid do things, and the slave didn't dare." β
Yao Tianxi frowned, "I was only entrusted by Miss Ma to take you in temporarily, not really to let you be a maid." β
Li Qi'er couldn't stop kowtowing, and after a while, her forehead turned blue, "The young master took in the slave maid, and the slave and maid have nothing to reciprocate, only to serve the young master as a cow and a horse." If you ask the young master to be fulfilled, let the slave and maid do their best. β
Yao Tianxi stood expressionlessly, seeing that Li Qi'er was still kowtowing for a while, and finally said impatiently: "Get up, then you will be responsible for cleaning the house in the future, but don't touch my personal things, and don't keep vigil in my room at night, usually three feet away from me, I'm not used to people approaching." β
"Yes. Li Qi'er stood up respectfully and was about to speak, when the sound of a dog barking came from outside the house.
The stiff lines on Yao Tianxi's face immediately softened, and he walked out quickly, and it didn't take long for a woman to follow him back to the house.
Li Qi'er looked fixedly, and it was Ma Xiuying, who had just been separated late, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
"Hi Miss Li, we're meeting again. But don't tell anyone you've seen me. Ma Xiuying greeted Li Qi'er like a ruffian, turned her head and asked Yao Tianxi, "Brother Yao, do you have anything to eat, Yuan Xing hasn't eaten today." β
"I have some small pastries here, you can take them to Yuan Xing. Yao Tianxi smiled knowingly, took out two boxes of red bean cakes from the cabinet, handed them over and asked, "Is it enough? β
"That's enough, thanks. Taking the red bean cake, Ma Xiuying ran away.
Li Qi'er was dumbfounded, the door of the Yao Mansion was closed, and she couldn't figure out where Ma Xiuying came from and how she disappeared.
Yao Tianxi restrained his smile and warned in a deep voice, "Go back to your room and rest, don't tell anyone what you see today, including Madame, if there is a trace of rumors, I will kick you out of Yao's mansion." β
"The slave obeys. Li Qi'er pressed the questions full of questions and silently retreated. She is a smart person who knows what to say and what not to say. Although Mrs. Yao hinted that she would tell everything about Yao Tianxi's side, if she really betrayed Yao Tianxi, Yao Tianxu would not allow her to be the first to do so. It was not easy for her to find a place to live, not to mention that Yao Tianxi was so handsome, she would be by his side after all, how could she annoy him......
Back at Lin Yingyuan, Ma Xiuying stuffed two boxes of red bean cakes to Yuan Xing. She went out for a day today, and when she came back, she realized that no one cared about Yuan Xing's food, so angry that she wanted to go to the kitchen to question on the spot.
"Sister, I'm fine, it's because I don't have an appetite and don't want to eat. Yuan Xing stopped Ma Xiuying and didn't tell her that when he went to the kitchen to serve food, the servants not only didn't serve him food, but also laughed at his unpleasant words of relying on a woman to support him.
"Don't lie to me, those villains must be making things difficult for you. Ma Xiuying was indignant, she knew that the servants of the Guo Mansion were used to stepping on the highs and lows. In the past, the Da Zhang clan was harsh on them, but now they dare not deduct their food and clothing due to Zhang Tianyou's orders. Who knew that he was not in the house for a day, and these people were cute again, and even bullied a child.
In the end, Yuan Xinghao said that he finally persuaded Ma Xiuying.
Ma Xiuying was willing to let Yuan Xing go hungry, so she cheekily ran to Yao Tianxi to ask for food.
Yuan Xing was also hungry, and he gobbled up the red bean cake after taking it.
"It tastes good, I knew I should have asked for a few more boxes. Ma Xiuying looked greedy and tasted a small piece.
Yuan Xing stopped eating it, and pushed the remaining red bean cake over, "There is still a box here, sister, you eat." β
"You haven't eaten for a day, why are you polite to me?" Ma Xiuying straightened her face.
Yuan Xing knew Ma Xiuying's temper, so he didn't say anything more, and continued to eat until he licked all the crumbs in the box.
Ma Xiuying's heart was sour, she looked away, and talked about the experience of participating in the wedding banquet today, "I met a new friend today, and I also saved a woman, is it a beautiful woman......" She finished talking about Lu Xiaoqian and Li Qi'er, and finally said: "I went to Brother Yao to get red bean cake just now, you didn't see Li Qi'er's expression, it's like seeing a ghost, it's funny." β
Yuan Xing immediately became nervous, "Will she tell you out? It would be bad if outsiders knew." β
Ma Xiuying thought for a while and said with great certainty: "No, Brother Yao must have warned her, otherwise she wouldn't have seen me." Besides, that woman is a very good-looking person, and she can't offend Brother Yao by betraying me. β
Yuan Xing was still not at ease, and persuaded worriedly: "Sister, you should try not to go to Young Master Yao's side in the future, so that people will find out that it is not good." Besides, we always get food from Young Master Yao, and people are not related to us, in fact, it doesn't matter if I'm hungry......"
Ma Xiuying's words made Ma Xiuying's mood quite heavy, she patted Yuan Xing's shoulder, looking ashamed, "I'm sorry, Yuan Xing, not only did I not let you live a good life, but also starved you." But don't worry, it's only temporary. Trust me, we're going to get better!"
"Sister, being able to know you is a blessing for me Yuan Xing in this life, and we will definitely be able to live a good life in the future!"
