Chapter Twenty-Seven: Trembling
Although I have been reminded by the lady to guess that the identity is extraordinary, I really didn't expect it to be so extraordinary, and it is not very conspicuous to look at the old man's home.
The girl looked stunned, and her parents outside had already listened stupidly.
My good man, such a family, casually walked out of the most inferior slave, and no one in the entire Jiangzhou Mansion dared to provoke it.
The Cheng family is different from the Zhang family, and being a girl is not the same as being a cook.
A girl can't do it for a lifetime, but a cook can do it for a lifetime.
Those good cooks raised by rich and noble families have a very high status in the family, and they will also borrow and invite a good cook to set up a good banquet, which is an extremely long-faced thing.
Not to mention the bounty received.
The girl's parents outside the door couldn't sit down anymore.
If her daughter goes to such a family, even if her family is not blessed, then they will have endless blessings in the Cheng family.
"Naturally, I am willing." The old woman couldn't help but kowtow and shouted happily, "Thank you for your attention, thank you for your attention." ”
While simply kneeling forward, he stretched out his hand to push the girl who was still in a daze.
"Thank you quickly, Mrs. Master, after you pass, you have to be good, don't lose the face of Mrs. Master, and don't forget, what is your surname." She whispered.
The girl was pushed forward and fell, and she held her hand on the ground with some trepidation.
"Sir, ma'am, slave maid," she said in a trembling voice.
"Okay, don't say those words, after the past, keep your duty, you will be a member of the Zhang Mansion in the future, don't worry about the Cheng family." Second Master Cheng said.
"No, sir." The girl hurriedly opened her mouth and kowtowed. "Slave, you can't go."
There was a moment of silence in the room. Second Master Cheng and his wife were a little surprised.
What the?
"You damn girl, what nonsense. It's not the time for you to be pretentious, the old lady's words, you just listen to it. The old woman hurriedly pushed the girl again and shouted.
"Mother, you don't know what to say, don't talk nonsense." The girl looked back anxiously and said, and then looked at Mrs. Cheng Er, "Old lady, the slave and maid have no skills, and the slave and maid are these." It's all taught by the lady, and she doesn't dare to go to the old lady to offer ugliness. ”
It's this sentence again...
Second Mrs. Cheng was in a trance.
This, this was not done by me, it was taught to me by my wife...
The girl who kowtowed in front of her seemed to have become the girl she used to be, with a panicked look, ordinary... Run off at the mouth.
"Do you think your surname is Zhou?" Second Lady Cheng asked with a sneer.
The girl looked up in confusion.
"I called you to tell you, tomorrow. You went to Mrs. Zhang's house, not to ask you if you would like to go. Second Mrs. Cheng said, looking at her condescendingly.
In the evening. Sun Guan took the child and hurriedly came to the Taiping Palace.
"What? Miss Banqin hasn't come back yet? She asked.
Dao Gu, who was guarding the door, nodded nervously.
"It's almost dark this day, why haven't you come back yet?" She said.
"Didn't you say that you went to the city to deliver mooncakes to that old man? It's long overdue to come back. Sun Guan said, rubbing her hands anxiously. You call a few senior sisters to the city to greet them. ”
Dao Gu responded yes and hurriedly walked away. Sun Guan took the child into Cheng Jianniang's courtyard.
When I entered the door, I saw Cheng Jianniang standing under the porch, looking up at the sky.
"Lady." Lord Sun Guan hurriedly shouted. "Miss Banqin has gone a long way to buy vegetables and hasn't come back yet."
Cheng Jianniang retracted her gaze and looked at her.
"It's not." "She's not coming back tonight," she said. ”
Sun Guan was stunned for a moment, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turns out that the lady knows where she went, and she scared me to death." She said, calling the little boy to call the sisters back.
Cheng Jianniang didn't speak, just raised her head and continued to look at the sky.
As far as Sun Guan has been here a few times, he has seen her like this, and he can't help but be a little puzzled.
"Lady, what are you looking at?" She couldn't help but look too.
The sun is setting, and the autumn twilight is thick.
"Look at the sky." Cheng Jianniang said.
"God, what's there to see?" Sun Guan asked.
"Nothing." Cheng Jianniang said, retracting her gaze, "It's just that I used to like it very much." ”
Before?
Sun Guan was a little confused, and then saw that Cheng Jianniang had turned inward, although this woman was not a fool, she was always a little weird, unlike ordinary people, Sun Guan was busy keeping up.
"Lady, Miss Banqin is not here, what do you want to eat? I let them do it. She said.
"Okay." Cheng Jianniang said, and sat down on the mat with a few helps, "I want to eat lotus lotus mushroom and lily steamed pork, Qibao vegetarian porridge, and full of hemp and hu cakes." ”
What, what, what? Sun Guan heard the fog, did he eat?
The name that makes people shudder sounds as confusing as Xianraku.
My good girl, what did this lady feed every day?
"Lady, lady." Lord Sun Guan hurriedly shouted, with a little embarrassment, looking at the woman who had already sat down, "I, I won't do it." ”
"No, it won't." Cheng Jianniang looked up at her, "You can learn, food, clothing, housing and transportation, eating is the easiest and easiest thing." ”
This food, clothing, housing and transportation, is this what it means?
Sun Guan seems to understand whether he understands or not.
When the sky was bright, two Dao aunts hurriedly walked out of the Xuan Miao Temple.
"I said I'll stay there, but Master is still not at ease, so he has to guard it by himself."
"Where did the girl go to Banqin, and I didn't say a word."
"That's right, although we don't care about her comings and goings, but that lady is a fool, she just threw it down and left, and she didn't explain anything."
"Last night's meal was a toss-up, and my arm was still sore when I pounded that meat and vegetables."
"You're just steaming, I'm making Hu Cakes."
"However, it's really delicious, rich and noble people really know how to eat, how did you come up with it...."
"Hurry up, I don't know what weird things to eat in the morning."
The two of them talked and walked, and before they were about to climb the mountain, they saw a group of people in front of them.
"It's really unlucky, it's only been a few days, and it's been a change again?"
"Hey, it's not bad luck this time. That green plum is a big luck. ”
"yes, she's not unlucky. We're out of luck to serve this fool. ”
"Hey. If you talk about it, then Qingmei followed this stupid girl to get this opportunity, and it is not bad luck to come here? ”
Two of the girls laughed and talked under their breath.
Hearing footsteps, the group turned their heads to look.
"Good people." Two Taoist aunts give gifts.
The group ignored it, turned around and moved on.
The two Dao Aunts glanced at each other, did not speak again, and walked slowly behind.
Soon the group arrived at the gate of the Taiping Palace, and a child in front of the door looked left and right, and was a little stunned when he saw this group of people. When I saw the two Dao aunts behind me, I was busy and happily greeted her.
"Is Sister Banqin back?" She asked hurriedly.
"Haven't you come back yet?" The two Dao aunts also asked rhetorically.
Hearing this conversation, the group came over.
"Half celery?" One of the men in charge looked at the three men and said, "She's not coming back." ”
The two girls in the courtyard looked around with a little disgust, and muttered a few words together from time to time.
"These are the two new girls." The steward said, looking at Lord Sun in front of him.
Lord Sun Guan and the disciples behind him looked surprised.
"What about the half-celery girl?" Sun Guan asked.
"She, the master sent it to Mrs. Zhang's house." The steward said, with a little bit of honor.
Slaves and maids in the house are objects that can be changed at any time. It is normal to sell or give each other.
Sun Guan was silent, and there was some kinship in his heart.
"You also know that old lady Zhang, Banqin said that she met here and likes to eat her cooking. It's really a stroke of luck to be able to climb such a high branch here," the steward continued.
After being stunned for a moment, Sun Guanzhu and the others were stunned.
"It's the old man who is hungry!"
"Great. It must have been the old man who opened his mouth to leave Sister Banqin. ”
"As I said earlier, Sister Banqin can be regarded as out of the sea of suffering this time."
"Sister Banqin must be pleasantly surprised."
The long-hidden expectations of the Taoist aunts came true. couldn't help but smile and talk about it, and curiously asked who the old lady was.
For this girl to have such good luck. The people in the Cheng family are very envious, and they are very clear and willing to chat.
At that moment, the two girls talked about the identity of Mrs. Zhang with a bit of exaggeration, and the Taoist aunts who listened to it cheered and thanked Tianzun one after another.
The only grandson looked stunned.
"So, she's gone like that?" She muttered, "What about the lady?" ”
"Didn't you dial two more girls?" The steward heard it and said impatiently, shook his clothes, and looked at the sky, "Okay, I should go, I'll leave it to the fairy aunt here, you have to worry about it." ”
Lord Sun Guan hurriedly stopped.
"This kind of thing, you should tell the lady in person." "I'm an outsider," she said. ”
It can be seen that the master and servant have a very good relationship, and she can't take care of this kind of offending people, not to mention that it is this lady who offends.
The steward laughed, and said this to a fool, she understood?
"Listen, understand, come with me." Lord Sun Guan urged, and walked to the inner courtyard first.
The steward had no choice but to take the two girls with him, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a plain robe girl sitting under the tree in front of him, with long hair hanging down her waist, and she was holding a branch in her hand to draw on the ground.
"Lady." Lord Sun Guan shouted respectfully.
Is this the silly girl? The steward and the two girls looked at each other curiously, and when they heard the call, the lady raised her head.
"Lady, this is someone from the family, and I have something to tell you." Sun Guan said, pointing behind him.
After a long time but didn't hear anyone's voice, she hurriedly turned around, but saw the steward and the two girls stunned.
It's a pity that he looks so good, but he is a natural idiot.
The steward was grateful in his heart, and here Sun Guan was born again.
"Lady, these are the two girls that the old lady asked me to send newly." He came back to his senses and said loudly with some pity, pointing to the two girls behind him.
Cheng Jianniang looked at him and didn't speak.
This fool's former girl is called Banqin, perhaps in her limited mind, this name is the most familiar, so after the original girl left, the new girl was also called Banqin, and the steward had an idea.
"Half celery, they are all half celery." He said loudly.
The corners of Cheng Jianniang's mouth curled and smiled.
"Okay." She said, "Half celery." ”
In the city, outside the gate of Zhang's house, the steward glared at the girl beside him.
"Don't cry." He shouted in a low voice, with a bit of caution, "Don't turn good things into bad things, think about your father and mother." ”
The girl bit her lower lip, held back the tears in her eyes, and lowered her head.
The door opened, and the porter was on guard.
"I'm from Chengfu, my lord let me..."The steward said with a smile and respectfully.
Before he finished speaking, the porter was about to close.
"Hey, come to send someone, come to send someone, uncle, don't be in a hurry to close the door." The steward hurriedly pushed the door and said, shouting at the girl, "Don't come here yet." ”
The girl stepped forward, and the porter saw that he let go of his hand suddenly, and the steward staggered in, looking at the porter who had just looked like a debt collector and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Miss Banqin, you're here, what's the matter? Mindfulness is talking to you. ”
Old lady Zhang put down the tea bowl and looked at the steward and the girl standing in front of him.
"I learned that the old lady was alone here, and it happened that this girl had a little cooking skills, so our master sent it to serve the master." The steward said respectfully.
After that, he glanced at the girl.
"Slave, I don't know what to do, the old lady is... There are many collisions. The girl kowtowed and said in a trembling voice.
Old lady Zhang smiled and nodded.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, and besides, you didn't rush against me, and you are still my savior." He laughed, "Would you like to stay with me and be a cook?" ”
"Actually, it's not a slave maid..."The girl trembled and wanted to speak, but the steward coughed, and the girl didn't dare to bow her head and say no more.
This girl is shouting at home that she can't do things like what her mother teaches, and she is still shouting here, doesn't it show her reluctance to come?
Mrs. Zhang didn't pay attention, and took a sip of tea with a smile.
"If you make this marriage matter a feud for me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"You don't know what to do, you raised you for nothing, this is the life of the family, and you can't live"
The girl's ears echoed with the angry shouts of the second master Cheng and the cries of her parents, she bit her lower lip and swallowed back her tears.
"Slave, willing." She replied with a bowed head.
When night fell, there was no figure running at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that it would not come.
Sun Guan turned around from outside the door and sighed softly.
"Oh, yes." She said.
"Master, what are you looking at, you've been watching it for a long time?" The boy asked puzzled.
"Nothing." Sun Guan said, stepping in, "It's not too early, I'll go see the lady." ”
It's been a day since there was no one, either the master personally guarded it, or let the two Taoist aunts guard it, why did they still go at night? Aren't there two girls?
The child was puzzled, but he still followed.
In the courtyard, two new girls sat in the small pavilion and cooed and laughed, melon seeds knocked on the ground, and in the kitchen on the other side, two Taoist aunts were holding a tray.
"I'll do it." Lord Sun Guan hurriedly said and stretched out his hand to take it.
"Master, let's come." The Taoist aunts are humble.
The girl over there sneered.
"Why don't we go?" One smiled, but didn't mean to get up.
"Let them go, take our family's offerings, isn't that what they do?" The other laughed.
Sun Guan didn't hear it, and opened the door.
"Lady, the white porridge is ready." She said.
Cheng Jianniang put down the book in her hand and sat upright.
"I'm sorry for you." She said.
"Don't dare, you shouldn't dare." Lord Sun Guan smiled, knelt down, and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, "Lady, please." ”
Cheng Jianniang looked at her, the corners of her mouth curled.
"Fairy Gu, do you have a name?" She asked suddenly.
