The maid can't be served, but the affairs are the most complicated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In and out, it was both serving vegetables and cloth vegetables, looking at the phoenix branches that walked in front of him like flying, and his face did not change, it was only then that Xia Yejin really felt how important it was to have a strong physique.
"Where have you been these days?" , Halfway through the meal, the old lady Fu, who was sitting in the middle, looked at Ming Yu and spoke, his voice was not loud, but it made the whole table shudder involuntarily.
"My classmate is sick, I'll take a look."
Mingyu replied, but obviously lacked confidence.
The atmosphere in the hall was very weird, Xia Yejin stood aside with her neck bent, holding her breath and concentrating, trying not to attract attention.
"Oh, really?" Old Lady Fu sneered, and her stern gaze swept over his face, "You should tell me what kind of classmate you are, what kind of illness you have, and you want to stay in front of him for two days and two nights!" ”
"Dad, Mingyu is still young, children are playful, you dissipate your anger-"
Second Master Fu, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke.
With Mrs. Fu here, he, as a father, has no room to speak. So after being glanced at by the old man, he immediately shut up obediently.
"Young? How young do you know how to participate in that messy assembly? When you're young, you know how to mix in the student union and make trouble everywhere?!! ”
Old Lady Fu's words made the whole room dare not speak.
Just when he was a little proud of his majesty, Fu Mingyu, who was sitting at the bottom, suddenly spoke, "We didn't do anything wrong, we just went to fight for our legitimate rights." ”
"Rightful rights? What legitimate rights do you have as a student to fight for?! It seemed that he was in a hurry, the old lady coughed a few times, and Aunt Chen, who was standing next to him, hurriedly stretched out her hand to help him smooth his breath, and after he was a little more angry, he turned his head to look at the second master Fu and scolded loudly, "I said a long time ago that I shouldn't let him enter any foreign school, you don't listen to persuasion, this is good, it's good to go in alone, and be taught like this, the school doesn't go to class, and it starts to make trouble, and if it goes on like this, the Fu family's face can't be saved!" ――”
"Look at your eldest brother Mingxin, he hasn't entered the foreign academy, but what is worse than others? Not only does he write a good article, but he is also excellent in dealing with people, who has said a bad word about him in these ten miles and all directions? The school is all caused by this school! ”
"We don't want to make trouble, but when people are beaten, there has to be an explanation-"
Before Fu Mingyu's words were finished, there was a sudden "bang", and the old lady Fu stood up from her seat and slapped the table with both hands, and the dishes on the table were so shocked that several plates fell to the ground.
The crisp sound of impact came, causing everyone's hearts to tremble again.
But they all silently accused Fu Mingyu in their hearts, the old lady is old, he just nods his head and responds, what is the nonsense, besides, it is a big mistake to participate in the student group to make trouble. It's good now, it's so noisy that everyone can't eat.
"You made a big mistake, and you dare to give me a quibble!? Say that you dare not listen, this is going to be the opposite!! ――”
Old Lady Fu said tremblingly, as if she was extremely angry, and without saying a few words, she began to cough violently again, and Aunt Chen hurriedly helped him calm down.
The fragments of dishes and food were spilled on the ground, and Feng Zhi squatted down and just wanted to clean up, but was drunk by the old lady, "Whatever you clean up, just keep it there, and let the ancestors of the Fu family see what kind of offspring the Fu family has raised in this generation!" ”
Fengzhi was drunk like this, neither advancing nor retreating, and for a while, he didn't know how to deal with himself.
Fortunately, when everyone saw this, they began to act for Fu Mingyu, persuasion and persuasion, and pleading for mercy, so that Feng Zhi was able to take advantage of this east wind to retreat.
If you eat like this, you can't continue to eat any longer. finally straightened out the old lady's anger and settled down, and everyone could only go back to the house in a huff whether they were full or not. As for whether you can open a small stove? There is an old lady Fu on top, not to mention the small stove, even if there is an extra piece of dry pancake, it will be handed over to the public.
By the time the mess is cleaned up, it's already the middle of the moon.
The moment he walked out of the middle hall, Xia Yejin suddenly thought that what Mingxin mentioned in the mouth of Old Lady Fu just now is probably the eldest young master who did not appear today, right?
Although people have not appeared, in these years, the readers who have not received a new education and are still studying the articles are afraid that they are also very pedantic.
The maids and subordinates in the Fu Mansion, except for those who served with the young master and wives, all lived in the front yard. From the front yard to the side house where the masters lived, there was a small garden in between.
It's winter, and there aren't many flowers in the garden, but a few cold plum trees are blooming very luxuriantly. The red and white plum blossoms complement each other, and it is very good-looking.
That day, Xia Yejin was strolling in a daze, and when she looked up, she saw a figure not far away climbing the plum branch with some difficulty. The cluster of red plums bloomed very well, but the branches were high, and it took a lot of effort to break them off.
"Miss Cousin, let me help you."
After seeing that the person was Qiu Yan who had made a righteous move that day, Xia Yejin walked over and said.
After all, the Republic of China is still a little different from the old days, and the maid is still a maid, but it can be called without "slave". It's as if if you have gone to the humble title, you really realize the equality of everyone.
Qiu Yan was struggling to fight against the plum blossom at the moment, and when she saw Xia Yejin coming over, she didn't let go, just smiled and said You are new, right? Did you name it?
When she asked like this, Xia Yejin knew that it was the same when she arrived in the Republic of China, and the maid's name still had to be taken by the master.
"Not yet."
Xia Yejin replied and reached out to climb the plum blossom.
She was taller than Qiu Yan, and she could reach just enough with her hand.
"And what about your own name?"
Qiu Yan asked again.
"My name is Ye Jin."
"Ye Jin? What a name......" Qiu Yan sighed, and then his eyes darkened again, "You don't look like you're from a poor family, how can you ......?" ”
She didn't finish speaking, but Xia Yejin knew what she meant, just folded the plum blossoms, handed it to her, and explained with a smile that the family's business was bankrupt due to the impact of foreign goods, and the debts were high, and her parents jumped off the building to commit suicide.
Once born and twice cooked, this time the excuse, Xia Yejin thought that there was still credibility.
Qiu Yan looked at her with a hint of sympathy in her eyes, and then flashed with a strange light, "Actually, it's okay, each of us is born equal, and there is no distinction between high and low occupations, maid is just a title, as long as you work hard by yourself, you are worthy of admiration." ”
Xia Yejin was moved with a smile on her face.
But in her heart, she thought that Qiu Yan's textbook-like chicken soup for the soul was afraid that even she herself would not be able to convince her.
