Chapter 32: The Maids in the Fu Mansion
The crystal lamp emits a dazzling and brilliant light, and the white light flows, and it is lined with gold and brilliance everywhere, and it is extravagant and luxurious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
There was a crowd of people around, and the crystal clear goblets staggered.
Men and women in high-end custom dresses stand in twos and threes, whispering or talking.
On the dining table not far away, all kinds of food are placed in delicately shaped utensils, neatly arranged. There is a dazzling array of everything, which makes people dizzy and their index fingers move.
Xia Yejin held the food plate in his left hand and the dinner clip in his right hand, and put the things on the dining table into the delicate food plate little by little in an orderly manner.
Turning back and forth along the dining table a few times, until finally filled with two plates, she found a relatively secluded seat, was rubbing her hands, and was about to enjoy it when suddenly a basin of ice water split her head and covered her face, she shivered coldly, and before she could say anything angry, a louder voice than her scolded openly, "It's wow!" You can fall asleep even if you watch a fire! βββ
The voice was very sharp, stabbing Xia Yejin's head painfully.
The light around her was a little dim, and her eyes wandered around, until the gray-faced sparkling stove appeared in front of her, and she suddenly reacted.
I almost forgot, this is the new mission.
24 years of the Republic of China.
It was a turbulent year in China.
Diplomatic incompetence, appeasement and indifference to foreign hegemonic aggression.
Righteous people were arrested and assassinated.
Students go on strike, workers go on strike.
However, the efforts of the people of Renren did not alert the local warlords, and the situation did not change in any way, except for the increased frequency of ruffians on the streets.
Of course, Xia Yejin's mission this time has little to do with this chaotic situation, she just needs to infiltrate the Fu Mansion in Rongcheng and successfully destroy the poignant love between a pair of maids and the young master.
Fu Mingyu, the second young master of the Fu family, was influenced by the new trend of thought, and often contradicted the elders in the family, so he was often punished by the family law, and the maid Fengzhi was responsible for taking care of him. The two fell in love for a long time. But in the end, life and death were separated, the maid was forced to commit suicide by throwing herself into the well, and the second young master left a book and ran away in frustration, and later died in the war.
"According to the fate, these two people should have nothing to do with each other. Your task this time is simple, just get the two of them not to fall in love. β
Is this still called simple?
Xia Yejin complained powerlessly.
"Rememberβ"
"Don't be involved with historical figures, don't be self-righteous and save the common people from God's perspective, I remember."
When he saw Gong Chen, he had to repeat the same old tune, and Xia Yejin took it very consciously.
"And ......"
"I know that the critical moment is focused on antiques, as for myself, don't worry, you have already bought accident insurance for me."
Hearing this, Gong Chenshi's eyes froze, and then returned to his normal cold state, but at some point there was an extra platinum chain in his hand that seemed to be worth some money.
"Wearing this can help you sense a little danger in advance."
The cold voice lingered in my ears and did not disperse.
If he was only half-convinced about the function of this necklace before he came, Xia Yejin now completely disbelieves it. What pre-perceives danger? She has been "enlightened" by others, and there is no trace of foresight!? Sure enough, the strange power is chaotic, and the more mysterious it is, the more unbelievable it is.
It took a lot of effort for her to sneak into this Fu Mansion as a maid, but she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, she was driven to the kitchen to watch the fire before she could stand firmly.
At this moment, the elderly woman saw that Xia Yejin was still stunned, and couldn't help but be angry, and she raised her hand to hit her shoulder, Xia Yejin subconsciously dodged to the side, and the place where she started fell into the air, directly hitting the back of the bamboo chair, and scolded her mother in pain for a moment.
"Sister-in-law Liu, what's going on?"
A soft voice sounded, and a girl wearing a big pink cotton jacket and short hair characteristic of a schoolgirl walked in, presumably because Sister-in-law Liu cursed too loudly just now and made a noise to her.
"Oh, Miss Cousin, why are you here, it's okay, it's okay, just a new little girl is disobedient and I'll say a few words to her. It's so cold, why don't you go back to the house early......"
Seeing the visitor, Sister-in-law Liu's withered face showed an unusually bright look, looking like flowers blooming in the dry ravine.
"But she's soaking wet......"
The girl pointed to Xia Yejin's dripping hair and said.
Originally, I didn't think that when she said this, Xia Yejin suddenly felt very cold.
"It's okay to dry this oneβ"
"Fengzhi, you help her to come to my house."
Without waiting for Sister-in-law Liu to finish speaking, the girl spoke directly, and then Xia Yejin was taken to a wing room on the west side of the inner courtyard by a maid named Fengzhi.
Eh, wait?
Phoenix branches?
God, this is a no-brainer?!
The round-faced girl in front of me wearing a blue-gray cotton jacket and combing a big braid is called Fengzhi? Isn't that the goal of the mission she wants to tackle this time?
But this man was born...... Ahem, seems a bit thick?
Feng Zhi came over with a change of clothes, and when he saw Xia Yejin's happy face, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then unfolded it in an instant, and said, "You're new here, right?" Miss Biao has always treated us very well. β
As a subordinate, it's better to be pure.
"Yes, Miss Cousin is so nice."
Xia Yejin didn't realize her gaffe at all, and while taking the clothes, she followed her words.
After a pause, he asked, where did Miss Cousin go?
"She's gone to school." Feng Zhi's attitude was lukewarm, "After you finish changing your clothes, go to the middle hall to help, the eldest young master is coming back today." β
Gentleman?
Xia Yejin silently repeated it in her heart. I thought that I was really sad, I was usually oppressed by the capitalist when I was in the antique store, even if I was squeezed by the capitalist, this is a task across time and space, but she is still a little person living at the bottom, her role positioning, can't she really be a little more advanced?
was busy going in and out of the middle hall, and when it was time for dinner, the legendary eldest young master did not appear at all, but waited for the person she was looking for - Fu Mingyu, the second young master of the Fu family.
"Today's magazine of "New Youth" has arrived, has Yan Mei read it?"
Before dinner, Fu Mingyu was chatting with Qiu Yan, who had saved Xia Yejin just now, and he didn't notice the maids and phoenix branches coming in and out around him at all.
It seems that the two have not yet begun to intersect.
Xia Yejin worked hard to wipe the table, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in her heart.
The Fu family is considered a big family in the local area, and they usually use "poetry and rites to inherit the family", but this dinner is really ...... It doesn't taste good. At least in Xia Yejin's opinion. Etiquette must be observed everywhere, everyone has an established position, an established rule, and cannot exceed the rules by half a point.
