Chapter 60: The blue sky and the white day are suitable for settling accounts
As soon as she walked past Aunt Nie's gatekeeper hut, Bai Ko almost collided with a girl who came out from the inside, both of them were startled, and both stopped their steps, and then Bai Ko gave way sideways and asked the other party to go first.
"The rough girl in which courtyard has no rules at all, and the mothers are not good at teaching you."
Bai Ko is wearing the coarse cloth dress of a third-class cook, but the other party is a first-class girl's plain dress, in contrast, Bai Ko is naturally a gray-headed girl with a low rank.
People scolded reasonably, and they had been in Wenling Academy for several days, and they had no time to calm down and learn the rules and etiquette, so Bai Ko didn't fight back, and didn't want to raise the signboard of Wenling Academy and provoke people to scold the third young master again.
Fortunately, the other party had something to do, and there was no time to stand here to teach the little girl a lesson, so she raised her feet and left after scolding.
Aunt Nie came out of the house with melon seeds, stared at the first-class girl and turned the corner, and then turned her face and smiled at Bai Ko.
Bai Ko immediately leaned over to inquire about the gossip.
"You're really good-natured, it's clear that she's also at fault, but you don't talk back." Aunt Nie poked Bai Ko's head, and reached over with her other hand to invite her to eat melon seeds.
"It's not to see that she is gorgeously dressed, if it is a girl next to the elders, I won't offend people, let her scold two sentences, anyway, it doesn't hurt or itch." Bai Ko pinched two melon seeds from the palm of Aunt Nie's hand, opened the shell, peeled off the melon seeds with both hands and put them in her mouth.
"Hey, you, hurry up and inquire about the big girls around each master, and you won't be bluffed next time."
"She's not from the master's side?"
"Can my aunt be the right master?"
"Which aunt?"
"It's the biological mother of the Seventh Young Master, Aunt Fu."
"Today it was said that the sixth and seventh young masters were coming home, and the rich aunt sent a girl to add food to her son so soon?"
"You've been in the East Kitchen for a few months, haven't you noticed the extra meals in the house, and all of them are for the Seventh Young Master?"
"At that time, I was still working as a handyman, and I was so tired that I was dying every day, where would I pay attention to this, anyway, the master wanted to eat."
"The grandson takes a fancy to you, reuses you, and makes you actually do the errand of the chief manager and steward, this is to raise your identity, the only person you want to be polite to be polite is the old lady and the old lady around, and the aunts have to be polite to you in turn, next time there will be the arrogant and not long-eyed, you just have to teach back, how can they say people in front of you."
"I don't talk back because I feel that I am at a loss, I have been to Wenling Academy for so many days, and I really haven't calmed down to learn the rules well, and I am busy with other things every day, if I bring out the signboard of Wenling Academy, wouldn't it be just a good time to send someone to scold the third young master? If the third young master's face is damaged, the eldest lady will be angry. ”
"You're thinking too much!" Third Aunt Nie poked Bai Ko's head again, "You're as busy as a dog, doesn't the third young master know?" You don't have time to learn the rules these days, and he scolds you? ”
"No, he has other requirements, and I have to do it."
"That's it, you did what the master wanted you to do, what do you have to lose, your confidence is actually enough, the next time you meet, she should make way for you."
Bai Qiao giggled for a while, thanked Aunt Nie for her guidance, and walked quickly to the east kitchen.
The atmosphere in the east kitchen was normal, and everyone was talking about a few words at most about the third master's pampering of the seventh young master, Bai Ko skipped this boring gossip, walked to Lu Doudou's side, and waited for the stewards to summon the work.
Lu Doudou took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, leaned on Bai Ko's shoulder and threw her two words, "Captured." ”
The corners of Bai Ko's mouth hooked, and he understood.
After lunchtime, Bai Ko and Lu Doudou went back to the small courtyard for a lunch break, and as soon as the courtyard door was bolted, the show began.
Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian held back their anger all night and all morning and stormed out at Mengmei, Hongsu and Wanqiu each shrank in the room and turned a deaf ear, Bai Ko stayed in Lu Doudou's house and listened to her talk about the capture process in the middle of the night, covering her mouth and laughing happily.
Mengmei thought that last night's incident had been fooled, but it was suddenly exposed, she was suddenly wet in cold sweat, and resolutely refused to admit that she had gone out in the middle of the night, gritted her teeth and insisted that she only went to the kitchen to practice cooking skills before dawn, and everyone was jealous of her good skills and bullied her.
Bai Ko listened to the movement outside and felt that it was almost time for him to come forward.
"Okay, okay, Sister Xiulan, sister-in-law Qian, you be quiet, there are people in the courtyard next door, don't let outsiders hear it, this is an ugly thing after all, don't affect everyone's reputation and innocence." Bai Ko opened the door and went out, leaning against the door frame and starting to be a good person.
"Bai Ko, you don't need to be pretending to be kind! You're in league with them! Mengmei blushed and yelled with a thick neck.
"Tut-tut, Mengmei, don't you know the hearts of good people, I'm here to give you a chance to prove your innocence."
Bai Ko disdainfully shuffled for a moment, and turned his gaze to Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian.
"Two sisters, you are both married women, more experienced than us little girls, since Mengmei insists that she is innocent, it is better to trouble you, tie her up and go to the eldest lady to ask her to have a physical examination on the spot."
Xiulan and Sister-in-law Qian suddenly smiled hideously and turned around to catch Mengmei.
Mengmei screamed and fled to the courtyard gate.
Hongsu and Wanqiu also ran out of the room and chased after Mengmei.
Lu Doudou untied the clothesline and prepared to tie up people.
Mengmei had no way to escape in such a siege, because she had to take a lunch break before, the courtyard gate had already been bolted, and Wanqiu was there to stay, waiting for Mengmei to come over to catch her.
After a few turns like a headless fly, Mengmei was finally slammed against the wall by Hongsu, Xiulan rushed up with a rag first, blocked Mengmei's mouth tightly, and then Lu Doudou handed over the rope, tied Mengmei into a zongzi with all hands and feet, and moved her into her own house.
"Run, run again, if you are innocent, what will you run?" Xiulan patted Mengmei's face, triumphant.
Mengmei was thrown directly to the ground by everyone, and she was already frightened, for fear that she would really be accused in front of the eldest lady, and she struggled to make a begging sound.
Bai Ko walked in slowly, and shook his head when he saw Mengmei's tragic condition.
"It's troublesome now, so you can only carry it to Jichengtang, it's too ostentatious, even if you win the lawsuit, everyone's face will still be lost."
Mengmei seemed to have a turning point in her obedience, and immediately nodded again and again.
"Bai Ko, what do you say?"
"The punishment must be punished, she went out in the middle of the night to meet the lover, the courtyard door was wide open, this is to sacrifice you to the night wandering god in the night, in her heart she herself is the most important, you are a fart."
"Damn it!" Sister-in-law Qian kicked Mengmei angrily.
"Don't hit too hard, she still has to work in the afternoon, if she has injuries on her body, this thing can't be covered." Bai Ko said with a good look.
The crowd immediately took two steps back.
