Chapter 34: The King's Contempt
"Remembered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhong Liyue nodded and said.
"But since your sister used to burn down the kitchen, you are not allowed to touch the fire again. The matter of boiling water will be left to Ruodong and Nianqiu to do, and you can concentrate on serving the eldest young master. ”
Boiling the pot and serving the eldest young master?
Zhong Liyue has grown so big, she has used gas, natural gas, and induction cookers, but she has never used firewood to burn pots.
In comparison, it is easier to serve the eldest young master.
"There's nothing to do in the second half of the night, you can go back!" Chun Qiao said again.
Zhong Liyue's eyes lit up, can she finally rest? Oh my God, I hope for the stars and the moon, finally here! Lovely bed, soft pillows, waiting for me to pamper you!
People don't lose sleep when they're tired, Zhong Liyue just got on the pillow and fell asleep in less than a minute.
In the early morning of the second day, she was full of energy and consciously got up early, and took the initiative to wipe the table and sweep the floor without Ruodong saying a word, and behaved very well.
After Ruodong boiled the hot water, let Liyue mix it with warm water and take it to the eldest young master's house.
"You can't go wrong again, can you?" Ruodong asked worriedly.
Zhong Liyue explained the process of waiting, including all the details, and then asked Ruodong if he was right.
Ruodong nodded, "If you do what you say, you should be fine." ”
"Then why do you still look nervous?" Zhong Liyue asked. The nervous person should be her!
"The responsibility of training when Chun Qiao is not there falls on my head, but my qualifications are not as thick as Chun Qiao, if you make a mistake, I will be jointly and severally liable, and the punishment may be heavier than you, can I not be nervous?"
Zhong Liyue instantly felt so stressed, "So miserable? ”
Ruodong almost knelt down and begged her, "So you can't make a mistake again anyway, you know?" ”
Zhong Liyue nodded heavily at her.
Coming to the bedroom like walking on thin ice, Zhong Liyue put down the copper basin and stood straight to the side, her hands crossed in front of her abdomen, her eyes were looking straight ahead, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she stood like a lady of etiquette.
Shen Zhaoyan was stretching out his arms for Chun Qiao and Zhixia to wait for them to change their clothes. After dressing, he walked to the copper basin, touched the surface of the water tentatively with his slender fingers, and then submerged his whole hands in the water.
As soon as his face was washed, Zhong Liyue handed the soft square cotton cloth to his hand. When he sucked the water droplets on his face, Zhong Liyue reached out in time to pick it up.
The timing is always just right.
Impeccable to perfection.
Shen Zhaoyan glanced at her, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but in an instant, he returned to his usual calm and watery state.
If she follows her previous performance, she has improved this morning, which is worthy of praise. But, isn't this exactly what a maid should have done? If this is a compliment, it will be unfair to the four of Chunqiao.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Zhaoyan narrowed his eyes, didn't say anything, and quietly finished breakfast and went out.
Ruodong's heart was finally put down.
Zhong Liyue raised her eyebrows proudly, it turned out that it was not difficult to do a good job!
"Humph!" Zhixia glanced at her, snorted coldly, and turned to Chun Qiaojiao and smiled: "Chun Qiao, you see that Liyue has just performed so well, you should really praise her." ”
"Kua?" Chun Qiao packed up her dirty clothes and threw them to Nian Qiu, and then said contemptuously, "Who of the four of us is not better than her?" Have you ever been complimented? If it weren't for the sixth master's face, she wouldn't be qualified to stay in the bamboo garden at all. ”
Zhixia's purpose of pouring cold water on Zhong Liyue was achieved, and he immediately echoed happily: "Also, who let us have no family's life!" We're doing things alone, but we're two people. ”
"I don't envy this kind of good life. If we do that, do we still need to be maids here? Nianqiu walked out of the door with her clothes in her arms, saying as she walked.
If it weren't for the jealousy of the sixth master, their sarcasm would never have been so subtle! It's impossible to endure it for so long!
Chun Qiao, as the head of the four, has always adhered to a rigorous style, and is impartial to anyone, before she did it, she would open her mouth to stop it, but this time she didn't. Because she felt that the scale in her heart was out of balance.
Ruodong didn't dare to interject on the side, and when his dodging eyes met Zhong Liyue's eyes, he was a little embarrassed, so he shook his head at her slightly, signaling her to forget it, just don't hear it, and then quickly bury her head and concentrate on doing things.
"Hey, have you ever seen a dog spit out ivory from its mouth?" Zhong Liyue asked coldly and loudly.
A few people were stunned, you look at me, I look at you.
"Haven't you seen it?" Zhong Liyue said with a smile: "Of course, how can a dog spit out ivory from its mouth?" ”
"Who are you talking about?" Zhixia immediately shook off his face and pointed to her nose and asked.
Zhong Liyue shrugged, walked to the table to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and ignored her.
She secretly thought about it just now, she has only been here for a few days, but she has already made mistakes several times, if she has an argument with the old employee today, no matter how innocent the young master is, she will not believe it. But what they said was so unpleasant that she still frustrated their spirit a little.
The heat is just right.
Let Zhixia provoke again, Zhong Liyue just ignored her and ignored her directly. She's already won that round, and as long as she doesn't keep fighting, she'll always be the champion. Hey, hey, let Zhixia have a good taste, what is called 'king's contempt'.
"Humph!" Zhixia stomped his feet and reluctantly ended the fight with a cold snort.
Zhong Liyue hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled with satisfaction.
Let's keep it like that! Until the day of the flight!
Come on!
Zhong Liyue silently cheered herself up in her heart.
Seeing that the end of the month was approaching, Chun Qiao considered that it was the time to employ people, and her teaching to Zhong Liyue became serious, as long as Zhong Liyue studied seriously, she would no longer deliberately make things difficult for her.
The day before the regular meeting, Zhong Liyue's etiquette was successfully up to standard, Mingde evaluated her, and then gave instructions to allow Zhong Liyue to participate in the regular meeting, and completed the preparations before the regular meeting with Chunqiao and the four of them.
"Finally passed." So many days of hard work have not been in vain. Zhong Liyue felt that she was one step closer to her goal.
Towards evening, Shen Zhaoyan rarely came back before dinner. Chun Qiao took the four of them to arrange dinner, and then left Ruodong and Zhong Liyue to serve by his side, and the three of them went to prepare for tomorrow's regular meeting.
In addition to Zhong Liyue, Ruodong and Shen Zhaoyan in the front hall, there is also Mingde. Zhong Liyue and Ruo Dong stood respectfully behind Shen Zhaoyan's left. Mingde stood behind Shen Zhaoyan's right, as soon as the dishes were served, he stepped forward to prepare the dishes, and Shen Zhaoyan said softly: "No need." Then he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate quietly.
It seemed like the stars holding the moon, but Zhong Liyue felt that Shen Zhaoyan's figure looked extraordinarily steep, and it looked even more lonely and cold against the background of the candlelight.
It's rare to come back so early one night that he doesn't go to dinner with his mother and only brother or anything.
The old lady and the second young master never came to the bamboo garden.
They seem to be a family on the surface, but they never interact, except for the last time when Mingyue was held accountable for burning the kitchen, he saw the old lady once, and until now, Zhong Liyue has never seen the second young master Shen.
Is the family affection of the businessman really so weak?
"Young Master." Eiroku's voice came from outside the house.
Shen Zhaoyan raised his eyes, looked at Rong Liu who walked in with a look of expectation, and asked in a rather eager tone, "How?" ”
