CHAPTER XLII
This morning, before starting the day's work, the housekeepers and grandmothers in the back kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion made the day's work arrangements as usual.
Finally, there are other admonitions that are repeated every day, such as not to steal and slip.
At the end of the routine speech, when everyone was about to disperse, Mama Li suddenly shouted: "That, wait until you leave, there is something I forgot to say." ”
Everyone stopped and looked at Mama Li.
Mama Li: "From today onwards, Xiaohong, you don't have to be responsible for bringing food to the main house." ”
On the other side of the main house is the courtyard where the lord of the city, Lord Qingfeng, lives, and the kitchen side needs to bring the meal over, and then the personal servant of Lord Qingfeng will serve the meal to the table.
There were six girls who were in charge of bringing food to the main house. Little Red is one of them.
Bringing food to the main house is the easiest job in the back kitchen. In addition to mentioning meals, it is to help a few housekeepers and grandmothers to do chores. You don't have to do any other rough work at all.
The girl named Xiaohong was stunned when she heard this, "Mama Li, what am I doing then?"
Mama Li: "What about you, swap with Jian Ning."
You've done Janine's work from now on.
Janening, along with five other people, was responsible for bringing meals to the main house. ”
Xiaohong was not happy when she heard it: "Mama Li, why? I did a good job, why do you want to replace me." ”
Mama Li didn't give her the slightest face, "What, why!
You don't look at you like that, and ask you to deliver meals, it's no one for a while.
Now that such a good-looking person from Jianning's family has applied for our back kitchen, of course, he has asked the family to send it to the main house.
Xiaohong, if you want to do it, you can do it, and if you don't want to do it, you can go to the outer courtyard to chop firewood!"
When everyone heard it, it was really like this.
There have always been rules in the back kitchen, and those who bring meals to the main house can only be the best-looking girl, because they are afraid of staining the eyes of the master's family.
For example, Xiaoyu, who has a good relationship with Jian Ning, is one of the six people who bring food to the main house.
Xiaoyu is recognized as a good-looking girl in the kitchen.
And the person who carries the meal must also be six people, because six six is good, and the number six is auspicious.
Everyone compared Xiaohong and Jian Ning on the spot, and someone couldn't help but laugh.
Not to mention, Xiaohong is compared with Jian Ning. If Jian Ning is the sky, then Xiaohong can only be said to be the earth.
Everyone couldn't help but whisper a lot of discussions.
Listening to everyone's ridicule, it made Xiaohong ugly.
Listening to Mama Li's repeated chorps of firewood, Xiaohong suddenly wilted and didn't dare to make any more trouble.
She walked out hatefully, and when she passed by Jian Ning, she rolled her super big eyes, and gave Jian Ning a nasal voice 'Huh!'
Jian Ning didn't care about this person named Xiaohong, and completely ignored Xiaohong.
Xiao Yu walked over and took Jian Ning's hand. "Ignore her. It's her own fault, and she doesn't blame you. ”
Jian Ning nodded, "Well, ignore her." ”
The other two housekeepers saw that there was nothing to do, said hello to Mama Li, and went their separate ways.
Mama Li shouted to everyone: "Scattered, scattered, still can't work!"
The crowd dispersed in a hurry.
Mama Li walked up to Jian Ning and Xiaoyu.
Jian Ning: "Thank you, Mama Li." ”
Mama Li: "Okay, don't thank you. Just do your job.
You and Xiaoyu, you two will follow me in the future. ”
Six people who brought food to the main house, and three people who were in charge of the house.
These six people are divided equally, and each housekeeper needs to bring two.
These two people are equivalent to the two little assistants of the housekeeper.
When Jian Ning and Xiaoyu heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly bowed down and thanked them again.
Mama Li waved her hand: "Let's go, don't grind, let's go to the warehouse where the dry goods are placed to take stock." ”
In this way, Janine became one of the six people in charge of bringing meals to the main house. Then he also worked with Xiaoyu as Mama Li's little assistant.
Anping managed to come in and see her every few days.
Anping said that he was already thinking of a way, and Jian Ning believed him.
Life was not as sad as it had been. Janine had hope.
On this day, the six of them went to the main house with their meals as usual.
Normally, the six of them couldn't enter the main house, but when they entered the courtyard, the servants from the courtyard of the city lord came to bring the meal in, and then there was the personal servant of the city lord.
And the six of them were waiting under the porch.
When the lord of the city had finished eating, the six of them were responsible for carrying away the empty plates and plates.
But today, after receiving the order, I could deliver food, and when I entered the courtyard of the city lord, I found that there was a group of people standing in the courtyard.
If you look closely, there are standing and kneeling.
The kneeling ones have little girls and girls. All of them turned white with fright, and one by one they were like sifting chaff.
The six of them were carrying the meal box, and they were stunned for a while. This, should this go in? Or should it go back?
However, there was no room for a few of them to think about it, when someone lifted the bamboo curtain of the room and shouted to the six of them: "You guys who deliver meals, why are you stunned there?
