Chapter 92: Asking for the Balance (Part 1)
On the second day, Xiaomi, as usual, got up and leaned on the window to look out, but this time there was no figure of Yin Zixuan practicing outside. She went to the back window again, but still didn't see it. It's weird, he only drank a few glasses of wine last night, why hasn't he gotten up yet?
With doubts, Xiaomi washed up and went downstairs to see what was going on.
The courtyard was empty, and Millet stepped into Yin Zixuan's wooden building, and the building was quiet. All the way to the third floor, no one was found. knocked on the door and entered his bedroom, where the bed was already neat.
Where did you go so early? Seeing that the sky ran out without me, Millet muttered downstairs, twisted his waist in the yard, and stumbled a few times to wait for breakfast.
When Chef Xu came with the food box, Uncle Min on the side watched Xiaomi take the food box into her small wooden building as a matter of course, and couldn't help frowning again. It's so unusual, it's breakfast for the master!
This Yalanju worker, as far as she is blessed, can eat the master's food every day. Even if it is the master's leftovers, it is also a blessing!
"Cheap girl." Uncle Min muttered to Chef Xu.
Chef Xu understands that Uncle Min probably doesn't know that the girl came to the mansion until now, and she has never eaten the master's leftovers at all, and she eats it with the master every time. But he can't talk too much, just smile.
I didn't rush back, so I admired the flowers and plants in the yard and waited to take the dishes and chopsticks away. Since the first year, I found that something was wrong with the little guy who cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and I found a way to dispose of it, and this job of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks was done by Master Xu and Fengyu.
"Master Xu, yesterday the prince said that it is inconvenient for you to deliver food back and forth, so I plan to get a kitchen here and in the courtyard. When you go back, please stop by and talk to Steward Yun, and do it immediately. After Xiaomi's eating, he put away the dishes and chopsticks in the food box, and when he handed them over to Chef Xu, he remembered to explain this matter.
"That's a good feeling, I'll talk about it." Chef Xu happily agreed, and he didn't feel hard to deliver meals back and forth three times a day. But as a chef, it's best to put the dish on the table as soon as it comes out of the pot.
Cook in this yard by yourself, and if you cook well, you can serve a dish. Don't worry anymore, the delay will make the mouth dry and bad. Speaking from the heart, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but how dare he open his mouth.
However, at this time, he also knew in his heart that the mention of making a kitchen in Yalan Curie was definitely related to this little girl. Otherwise, I have been in this palace for many years, why didn't the prince mention it sooner or later, and only now remembered it?
Uncle Min on the side didn't have much feeling about the kitchen in the yard, because it didn't have much to do with him. He, like everyone else, had three meals a day, and someone brought them. Even if there is a kitchen in Yalan Curie, it is also a place to cook for the prince.
Uncle Min was angry when she heard this, since the master told this girl to do it, why didn't she go to Steward Yun to say? Instead, he asked Master Xu to stop by and talk about it, making her seem to be very busy all day long.
Oh no, she's very busy, busy hunting birds! There are also honest times, staying in the small wooden building for a few hours, I don't know what to do, I really regard the palace as her own home, so casual!
Master Xu originally thought that Xiaomi was very busy, but when he saw her coming to the door with him, he thought to himself how could he be so sensible today, and he still knew how to send it?; "Miss Xiaomi, let's go back." He was polite.
Xiaomi didn't think much about it when he heard it, and responded casually; "Let's go together, I'll go out for a walk."
Only then did Chef Xu know that he was making himself amorous, and scolded in his heart, dead girl, you are busier than our master. The things that the master explained, you asked me to do it, and you went to walk around by yourself, are you embarrassed?
Xiaomi was thinking about the remaining two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and she didn't have the heart to chat with the chef next to her. When they arrived at the fork in the road, they parted ways after saying hello to Chef Xu.
Chef Xu wondered which direction she was going, it was towards the big garden, and beyond that was where the ladies lived. Curiosity is curiosity, he knows that it is not his business to worry about, so he should hurry up to find the cloud housekeeper and do his best to handle the kitchen affairs seriously.
When passing by the big garden, many flowers are blooming, but Xiaomi is not in the mood to stop and admire it now. Walking directly in the direction of Ruyue Garden, the person just passed, behind the camellia tree at the fork in the road, a girl poked her head out, turned the direction and ran.
Xiaomi arrived at Ruyue Garden, and saw that the person guarding the door was still the mother-in-law from last time.
"Miss Millet is here." The mother-in-law remembered for a long time, put down the soles of the shoes she was holding in her hands, and stood up to greet her.
"Well, come and see Madame. By the way, auntie, how was the lady when she came back yesterday? Xiaomi didn't rush into the door, took her mother-in-law's hand affectionately, and inquired in a low voice. This kind of intimacy, it's really empty and has nothing to say, but Xiaomi is very handy and natural.
Let people who don't know really think that the two are good friends.
The mother-in-law was a little hesitant and didn't know what to say, so after letting Millet shake her arm coquettishly, she looked into the yard and whispered to Millet. Madame came back less than half an hour after she went out yesterday.
When I entered the courtyard, my eyes were red and my face was not very good. How was the lunch brought in, and how was it brought out as it was? For dinner, I used it, but it was only a small half bowl of rice, and the dishes didn't move much.
Yes? How so? Xiaomi really didn't expect it, I didn't know this Ruyue Yuan for a while, and I was in? It's better to go back quickly.
"Millet girl?" The mother-in-law knew that Millet was the celebrity in front of the prince, so she didn't dare to offend, so she shouted in a low voice. That also means, to enter or not to enter? If you enter, hurry up, so that others don't have to see it, and if you don't enter, you can leave quickly, in case the master in the courtyard knows that he is coming, and it won't work if he doesn't see it.
It seems that it is really a bit difficult to get these two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and it is not good to get it, and the one that was received before must be returned to others. Xiaomi came happily, and now the love is suddenly low.
No matter what, since it's been returned, you still have to go in and meet that person, at least you have to figure out what's going on, right? If the reason lies on Yin Zixuan's side, he is looking for trouble, what should he do? I promised to cooperate with myself, but I am still looking for trouble? That's what happened to her Yuan Xiaomi!
If you don't like it, don't say yes in the first place!
If it's the lady's fault, what she did, or what she said that shouldn't have been said, then you have to have an explanation. I have done what I should have done, and I have met the prince, so the silver should still be paid.
Madam, you are not good at doing things yourself, and the responsibility can't be borne by me, a matchmaking girl, isn't it! If you don't want to pay the balance, then I'll let you know how strict the consequences of bullying me a girl are.
If you don't figure out who is responsible for this matter, you won't be able to accomplish anything in the future! Don't say that others know whether to laugh or not, they will look down on themselves.
"Okay, thank you aunt for telling me and leading me to your wife." After making a decision, Xiaomi let go and said.
The mother-in-law had sharp eyes, and saw that Xiaomi had made up her mind, and secretly praised that this girl was really not an ordinary child. While leading her inside, he asked a girl in the yard to enter the house and inform the master.
After all, this master did not tell anyone to wait for this girl at the door, which means that the master did not know that this girl would come.
Millet stood at the door of the house, mentally prepared to eat closed-door soup. After the mother-in-law sent her to the door, she didn't dare to stay long, and left immediately.
It didn't take much effort, and the girl who came into the house to report came out and said to Xiaomi, please come in.
The girl's expression didn't see anything, but she said that it was much better to have this invitation than to have it. Xiaomi guessed that she wouldn't be afraid of anything, at most she would listen to the women inside complaining or something. And he lifted his feet and went into the house.
In the house, Mrs. Yue was reclining on the soft couch, holding an embroidery needle, embroidering something.
"Millet has seen Madame." It is normal for Xiaomi to come forward and greet him.
"Well, sit down." Mrs. Yue not only did not snub Xiaomi, but smiled and let Xiaomi sit. This makes Xiaomi a little confused, is this woman a smiling tiger? Do this with yourself? Sit down, who's afraid of whom.
Xiaomi thanked him, and sat on a chair generously, not casually, but picked a chair with soft cushions on it. Then I saw the girl next to me and frowned.
Xiaomi pretended not to see it, but just smiled and looked at Ruyue's hand. "What is Madame embroidering?" She also smiled and asked curiously.
"I'm idle, just embroider a few squares of handkerchiefs to pass the time, I don't know how the millet girl's craftsmanship is?" Ruyue responded very casually.
"I, Madame can be regarded as asking, what I am most afraid of is this thing, Madame, look at my veil, but it is all blank." Xiaomi responded with a grin, and pulled out the handkerchief tucked under her armpit and showed it to you.
The heart said, if you don't mention yesterday's incident, then I won't mention it either, let's see which of us can survive whom. Although the silver is in your hands, I am not short of silver at the moment, and even if you don't give it today, I will let you send it to me one day.
Ruyue really looked over, and when she saw the handkerchief in Xiaomi's hand, it was really blank. poofed and laughed; "This is easy to do, if Miss Mi doesn't dislike it, pick a few pieces from me and use them well." After saying that, she asked the girl next to her to fetch it.
The girl entered the next room, and quickly turned around, holding a stack of handkerchiefs in her hand, and placed them beside Xiaomi.
me, so much? Xiaomi is amazing, stretching out his hand and looking at it, the pattern on each piece is different. The patterns on the handkerchief include flowers, butterflies, and poems, and a whole stack of them, and there is no pattern to repeat.
"It's all embroidered by Madame?" Xiaomi looked up and asked.
There was admiration in Xiaomi's tone, after all, the handkerchief was really beautifully embroidered, but when Ruyue heard it, she nodded with a somewhat gloomy expression. It's been more than a year since I entered the palace, and if I don't embroider these things, what is the time to pass the time?
Poor woman, when Xiaomi spoke, she also understood the other party's suffering, and immediately felt sympathy, but when she thought of this woman going around in circles with herself, she never mentioned yesterday's incident, nor did she mention the matter of silver, Xiaomi's sympathy slowly disappeared......
