Chapter 007: Shocking
"Hello two sisters, I'm a new maidservant," Jiang Wanluo hurriedly said with a smile: "May I ask sister, is the kitchen going this way?" β
"You just go over here. www.biquge.info One of the girls stretched out her hand and pointed to a small path next to her, and said, "Did you listen to what we said just now?" β
"Sister Ruyi asked me to help deliver food, I just came here and I'm not familiar with the road in the house, my eyes and ears are busy, where can I take care of anything else." Jiang Wanluo said: "I just saw the two sisters here, so I hurriedly came over to ask for directions, so as not to be too late and not to fall behind." β
When the two of them saw her say this, although they were skeptical, they were afraid that if they asked too much, it would seem that there would be some accidents, so they had to let her go.
The General's Mansion has two stove rooms, east and west, both built in a small courtyard. The east one is obviously larger, and there is a plaque with the two big characters of "East Kitchen" hanging under the eaves, which is specially used for the three meals a day of the masters in the main garden; A small room on the west side, with no inscriptions, is a place to cook for the girls and minions.
Jiang Wanluo was about to go to the west door, but she saw Liusheng coming out of the east kitchen and beckoning to her.
"I asked Zhu'er to call someone over to help, but after waiting for a long time, there was no shadow, and I thought she had run to play." Seeing Wanluo walking to the door, Ruyi said with a smile.
"Sister, don't blame her, it's me who doesn't know the way, so I delayed for a while." Jiang Wanluo said
"It's no wonder, our house was originally the place where the Queen Mother of the former dynasty lived outside the palace to read the Buddha, and it is naturally much larger than other mansions, not to mention you, if I am busy, there are times when I go the wrong way." Ruyi paused, and then said: "I just waited for you not to come, and I was afraid that everyone would be hungry, so I have asked a few little girls to take the food back." β
"Oh, then I'll just go back." Jiang Wanluo turned around to leave
"There's no hurry." Ruyi called out to her and said slowly: "Since you are here, I have something to ask you to help with." β
Jiang Wanluo turned around and said, "Sister, just say." β
"The general has not been in good health for the past two days, and his wife ordered me to cook some ginseng soup early in the morning to replenish his body. Now the soup is stewed, but I can't find a girl to send it for a while. I see that you are a fine person, and you are going to work in the main garden, so it is better for you to send it for me. After Ruyi finished speaking, he turned around and entered the door, and after a while, he brought out a cup of soup from inside, and instructed Wanluo to send it to the study of the main garden.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll go now." Jiang Wanluo hurriedly responded, thinking that God really helped me, so soon I would have the opportunity to get close to Wen Chongxiao's study, so she took the soup and walked quickly to the main garden.
From the East Kitchen to the main garden, it took a pillar of incense to say the least, Jiang Wanluo walked halfway with the soup cup, and felt that her two arms were really sore. Looking around, there happened to be a stone staircase next to it, and I wanted to put down the soup cup to take a break, but who would have thought that a cat suddenly jumped down from the wall next to me.
Jiang Wanluo was taken aback, and accidentally the tea tray in her hand was crooked, and she actually spilled half of the ginseng soup.
"It's over, it's over, it's a disaster!" Jiang Wanluo was angry and scolded the little wild cat, and thought about how to clean up the mess, but saw that the cat was still uninteresting and came over to **** the ginseng soup spilled on the ground.
"You still have the face to eat, you big gluttonous cat!" Jiang Wanluo angrily and funny put her finger on the kitten's head, but she didn't expect the kitten to fall into the tree pit with her strength, kick her legs twice, and no longer gasped.
"Hey, cat, what's wrong with you, wake up!" Jiang Wanluo pushed the kitten's body with her hand, but there was still no reaction.
Someone poisoned this soup?! Jiang Wanluo is also an undercover person in the 21st century, and she has never seen any big scenes, but at this time, she really feels that she is completely confused, she has no time to think about the ins and outs of the matter, she just wants to quickly solve the hot potato in her hand.
"Who's over there?" Behind him was Li's mother's voice
Jiang Wanluo turned around, and really saw that Mother Li was helping a richly dressed lady to come here, followed by two girls holding fabrics, presumably that lady was Princess Anning.
"What do you have in your hand, and where are you going?" Mother Li looked at the soup cup in Jiang Wanluo's hand, and knew that it was the one that the East Kitchen used to use when she brought soup to the general.
"Madam, Mother Li." Jiang Wanluo bowed her head and saluted, desperately squeezed out a smile on her face, and pretended to be indifferent: "Sister Ruyi asked the slave maid to send ginseng soup to the general." β
"She's a new official today." Mother Li said to Princess An Ning, turned around and said to Wan Tian, "Since it is given to the general, you can hand it over to me, and we are about to go to the study." β
"It'sβyes." Jiang Wanluo's brain raced for a moment, took a few steps forward, deliberately stumbled under her feet, added some strength to her hands, and took advantage of the situation to smash the soup cup, seeing that the ginseng soup exploded on the ground and splashed on Princess An Ning and Mother Li.
"I'm going to die!! This little hoof is very frizzy!! Mother Li exclaimed in surprise and the two maids wiped the soup on her master's skirt with a handkerchief, and said angrily: "Come on, pull her down for me." β
Jiang Wanluo was dragged aside from the ground by the two guards who appeared in an instant, and she was silently relieved in her heart, she admitted that she was beaten and scolded, at least she would not be charged with murdering the general as soon as she entered the mansion, but she patted her chest with Shangguan Yuntian and said that she would definitely be able to do this meticulously, if she stabbed Lou Zi so quickly, it would be a slap in the face.
"Wait, look up and I'll see." Princess An Ning stopped the guards and said in a deep voice, "What's your name and how old are you?" β
"The slave's name is Jiang Wanluo, seventeen." Jiang Wanluo raised her head and replied in a harmonious voice.
Princess An Ning's eyes were slightly dull, and she looked thoughtful.
"Princess, is there something wrong?" Mother Li seemed to see that her master had something on her mind, and asked in a low voice.
"Nothing." Princess An Ning said absentmindedly, "This girl is frizzy, if she enters the main garden to serve, she doesn't know what trouble will happen, you can send her to the back garden to do things for the time being." β
Mother Li responded for a while, and explained a few words to the two girls behind her, and Fang personally took Jiang Wanluo to the back garden.
The person who poisoned her should not be Ruyi, she is about to become the general's daughter-in-law, and her mother is the confidant of the general's wife, so she can't say anything, is there still some enemy of the Wen family hidden in this mansion.
Jiang Wanluo suddenly felt that she had fallen from one whirlpool to another, she was powerless to think too much, such a thing happened on the first day she entered the mansion, and the top priority at the moment was to find a way to return to Zhengyuan as soon as possible. Mrs. Jin's mother and son are so cunning, if they judge themselves as a waste chess piece because of this, it is not impossible to kill them directly.
"You'll live here from now on." Mother Li stood firm, pointed to a simple thatched house not far away, and said: "Remember to be diligent with your hands and feet, my lord likes the begonia flowers in this garden the most, you have to take care of them carefully; The fish in the pond are the love of the lady, and they are fed twice in the morning and evening; There is also the Zheng in the Diecui Pavilion that belongs to the fourth lady, and it must be wiped clean every day. β
Jiang Wanluo responded one by one, and she now knew that the girls who lived in the back garden were not the roughest in the house, and she was the worst now, but they still had a warm and comfortable green tile house to live in, and she didn't even have a serious place to live in this chore.
