Five hundred and eighty-nine

Caiyue was preparing to stew blood swallows for the eldest lady in the small kitchen of the eldest lady, but found that there was no charcoal in the small kitchen, recently the eldest lady was sick and lost the right to be a housekeeper, Mama Ma has been busy taking care of the eldest lady, these small things are naturally a little neglected, it seems that only he went to the warehouse to get some charcoal over, although Caiyue knew that the eldest lady did not really want to eat bird's nest at this time, but if she did not do this well, it would not be so good, When the time comes, I may not know what kind of punishment I will receive, the eldest lady has been in bad health and temper recently, and the people in the courtyard are not very clear, but Caiyue, the person who serves closely, is very clear, and the eldest lady has many ways to punish people, if you don't pay attention, you won't be so lucky.

"Xiaoyu, there is no charcoal in the kitchen, why don't you tell Mama Ma, these things have always been managed by her, and now Mrs. wants to eat bird's nest, but there is no carbon in the kitchen, is this like words? Madame is the eldest lady of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, should such a thing happen to us?" Caiyue looked at Xiaoyu, a girl who had been doing things in the kitchen, and asked, at this time, Caiyue's heart was really helpless, after all, she was just a girl like Xiaoyu, and it was too much to do it herself, and there was no need to embarrass each other like this, but now Caiyue thought that she might be punished for this matter, how could Caiyue be calm? Although she didn't want to embarrass Xiaoyu, she also knew that she should be strict at this time, so that this little girl knew how serious the matter was, otherwise she didn't know what would happen to this girl.

"Sister Caiyue is angry, I can't help it, this month the kitchen in the kitchen of the son of the family married, and Mama Ma asked for leave to go back, I was alone in the kitchen too busy, originally every month to get the kitchen things these things are done by the kitchen lady, I haven't been out of the yard since I came, these are not very well understood, and because Mrs. is unwell, Mama Ma has been in Madame's room, I went to look for a few times and didn't see Mama and her old man, so there will be such a situation today, Please forgive me, sister, I will never dare again, never again. "The big maid next to Mrs. Caiyue, although such a maid is also a maid, she is among the people in this courtyard. In addition to Mama Ma, the nurse of the eldest lady, the maid with the highest status, these maids in the yard are usually under the control of the big maid, and Caiyue, who has always been very kind, suddenly looks like this at this time, how can Xiaoyu not be afraid, a person who is usually very kind is suddenly very strict, this is not a simple matter, and Xiaoyu knows very well that these explanations of his own are useless at all, and the fact that there is no charcoal is a fact in itself.

"That's it, this is the first time you have made such a mistake, I won't pursue anything, you go and deal with the bird's nest, I will go to the mother-in-law in charge to get some charcoal back, if you have such a thing in the future, I will definitely tell Madame, let her punish you for not remembering the girl." Caiyue doesn't really want to embarrass this little girl, after all, she is just a subordinate, although it is necessary to please the master, but there is no need to treat a little girl like this at this time, and now the eldest lady doesn't care about whether there is really charcoal in the small kitchen in her yard, and now he has a lot of things he wants to talk about with the second lady, so this matter should be able to cover up the past, after all, use the time to process bird's nest to get charcoal by yourself, It won't be delayed for too long, but I still have to be strict with this little girl, otherwise I don't know when she will hit someone else's hands, and then things won't be as simple as they are now.

"Yes, Sister Caiyue, Xiao Yu remembered that no matter what happened like this, he would never dare to do it again. Xiao Yu didn't expect Caiyue to let go of this matter so easily, and helped himself cover up this matter, and silently remembered Caiyue's favor in his heart, thinking that if there was such a day, he would definitely return Caiyue's favor. The reason why Xiao Yu thinks like this in her heart, it is because she has been in the courtyard of the eldest lady for a long time, although she has been in the kitchen, but she has also seen the results of many people in the yard after making mistakes, although Caiyue said that the scolding is very powerful, but she did not do anything else, which is also to let Xiao Yu can be said to have escaped a catastrophe, such a favor Xiao Yu knows that if she doesn't keep it in her heart, she will really be ungrateful.

Although he said that he was grateful for Caiyue's help in his heart, Xiaoyu understood that the work in his hands at this time could not be relaxed, and he should take care of the bird's nest well. Seeing that although Xiaoyu said that she was scolded, she still handled the bird's nest meticulously, Caiyue also felt that she had done nothing wrong to help this little girl at this time, and she only hoped that this little girl would remember the lesson this time. I was very satisfied with the appearance of Xiaoyu in my heart, Caiyue knew that what people should do in any position at this time was to do their own work, and they couldn't have any slack because of the master's affairs, and the ups and downs of power in the backyard were not so simple, the eldest lady had been operating in the Yongping Hou Mansion for more than ten years, and it was not easy to knock down, especially now that the second lady had determined that the fifth prince would soon marry her, no matter whether this matter was a good thing or a bad thing, It's better to do what you should do first, and think about other things as appropriate.

Caiyue has always had his own plans in his heart, he can be said to be the more shrewd person among the people around the eldest lady, which is also related to Caiyue's background, she is the daughter of a prostitute, and the things he has seen since she was born are just some power transactions, so even if it has been ten years in the Yongping Marquis Mansion, she is still not completely loyal to the eldest lady, because she knows one thing very well, that is, she only leaves a way back for herself, Then no matter what time it is, I won't follow anyone to sink the ship. Only in this way can his future be the safest, it is precisely because of this that in the courtyard of the eldest lady, Caiyue can be said to be hiding her light and wisdom, she has never been an enemy of others, and even reaches out to the people around her many times, not for how good these people are, but because Caiyue knows very well that if she does this, she may create another opportunity for herself in the future.

"Mother Lin, the cook in our yard has taken leave to go home this month, so she hasn't received charcoal yet, now you can get it for me." When Caiyue walked to the treasury in the inner courtyard of the Yongping Hou Mansion, she saw that Mother Lin, who managed the warehouse, was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, and there was a plate of melon seeds beside her, judging from the melon seed shells on the ground, Caiyue knew that this Mother Lin could be said to have been basking in the sun here since the morning, and there was not a lot of work in the warehouse, but it was not particularly much, especially in the middle of the month like now, there would not be too many things, because only at the end of the month, various places would send things to the warehouse, Then at the beginning of the month, the treasury will distribute these things to each yard, so now is the time when Mother Lin is very idle, this Mother Lin has always had a very good relationship with Caiyue, so Caiyue thought that at this time, Mother Lin should not be embarrassed by herself.

"Yo, it's Miss Caiyue, how embarrassing is it for Miss Caiyue to come here in person, what is there to order, why bother to work on the girl's drive? If there is no one around the lady to serve me, this is not my wife's fault. Mother Lin looked at the person standing in front of her Caiyue and quickly stood up, not because Caiyue was the eldest lady next to the eldest lady, so Mother Lin was like this, in fact, Mother Lin herself was the person secretly arranged by Mrs. Laohou, and Mrs. Lao Hou and Mrs. Chang had been secretly fighting in the Yongping Hou Mansion for a long time. Although it is said that the eldest lady has begun to arrange his own people in important positions in the past, but this Mother Lin is a very shrewd person, so after more than ten years, the eldest lady has no reason to replace her, because she is not a person who will only serve high and low, and no one here can fault her attitude and way of doing things, if the eldest lady is really dissatisfied with Mother Lin, there is only one point, that is, Mother Lin is Mrs. Hou's person, When some things come to a critical point, she will only listen to the words of Mrs. Hou.

"Mom is a busy person, the weather has been very cold recently, how dare I call my mother like this, if I didn't know that the cook didn't come to my mother to get charcoal when I passed the kitchen today, and I hope my mother can get it to me, otherwise the little girl who helps the kitchen in the kitchen will cry in front of me, this is the wosi candy that Mrs. rewarded me today, and it will be regarded as me to pay my mother for you." Caiyue took out a delicate small box from her sleeve, which contained the best nest candy, these things are usually used by the eldest lady to send the little girls, only then did she know that Mother Lin is a person who loves to eat, otherwise she would not have so many melon seed skins in front of her, for some people still have to make a low posture to please her, after all, although this Mother Lin is not a person who will fall into the well at such a time, but she is not only Mrs. Hou's person, but also the housekeeper mother in this backyard, Not to mention that he is in charge of the treasury, her level is higher than herself, and it is not a bad thing to be modest, especially now that the eldest lady has lost power.

"Thank you for the girl's reward, this thing is my favorite food, I will accept it unceremoniously, Miss Haiqing wait a while, I will go to let people send the charcoal fire in the yard of the lady to the lady, this month is really because there are too many things to prepare in the winter, so I didn't even notice that no one on the lady's side came to receive the charcoal, it was really my fault, and asked the girl to say a few kind words for me in front of the lady, please don't blame me for the disadvantage of this old woman." Mother Lin is not a person who will fall into the well at such a time, and Mrs. Lao Hou has also specially explained before, if the people in the yard of the eldest lady come to receive things, they will give them directly, but then you have to go to Mrs. Hou to report it, Mother Lin is very fond of food, but it does not mean that a box of silk candy can buy him, he also knows that this is just a way for Caiyue to express her friendliness, and Mother Lin is also happy to accept it.

"In this way, there will be more Mother Lin, and when we get together between our sisters another day, please ask Mother Lin to appreciate her face." Caiyue knew that Mother Lin would not refuse her own things, nor would she embarrass herself, and her psychology was still a lot more down-to-earth, after all, she couldn't find fault with what Mother Lin did before, but after all, the eldest lady is now out of position, if Mother Lin doesn't want to do things, I'm afraid that according to her character, even if she sends her gold, it may not be effective, fortunately, Mother Lin didn't do it, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to do it, Caiyue thought about it psychologically, At the same time, she also invited Mama Lin to join them in their occasional small gatherings.

This so-called small gathering between sisters,Generally, it is a big girl with a higher status in the backyard.,There's also a party between the housekeeper's mother.,In winter, if there are not too many things, someone will organize.,Generally, someone pays to make some small dishes in the kitchen alone plus a hot pot.,Everyone eats and drinks together.,Get closer to each other.,There are also many people who take this opportunity to pass on the news.,Caiyue is very clear that according to the character of the eldest lady, Even if he already knew that the fifth prince would propose to Yongping Hou to marry the second lady in the near future, but as long as the fifth prince hadn't said anything about this matter, she wouldn't say it, and now only herself and Mama Ma knew about it by the eldest lady's side, so it was not impossible for her to use this matter to find a chance for herself, Caiyue knew very well that the people around Mrs. Hou that she could contact now were just the people in these courtyards, Maybe it is time to test whether Mother Lin is a qualified messenger, after all, if Mrs. Hou suddenly knows about this, she may be surprised. If she gives her a message in advance, maybe Mrs. Hou will remember her personal feelings, even if the eldest lady is really defeated at that time, or she dies early, she can be regarded as having a high probability of having such a good home, Caiyue of course knows that if there is really a day when the eldest lady fails, Mrs. Hou will not keep herself, but no matter what the result is, what she wants is not to stay in the Yongping Hou Mansion, but to hope that there will be such a good home, not to be easily promised to marry others, as a subordinate, a slave, there is only so much she can fight for herself.
