"The old lady has a very good appetite today, and she uses a bowl of rice to make more."

When cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the small kitchen at night, Qin Yu heard the girls who washed the dishes and chopsticks talking together, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips slightly and smile slightly.

……

After a long day's work, I finally had the time to rest at night, and in the dead of night, black came. After the rest of the girls went to sleep.

Qin Yu took the needle and thread, caught the moonlight, and stood quietly at the door of the room alone, quickly threading the needle and thread, but after a few efforts, her dexterous fingers sewed the broken skirt so tightly that it was almost impossible to tell that it had been torn off by someone and had broken a large piece.

Looking at the dense needle and thread, Qin Yu couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips and smiled, her eyes looking exceptionally bright in the faint moonlight.

Tong Rui is the first favored young lady in the house, can Yan think that there are still people who are unwilling to go to her room to compete for favor and join in the fun?

Pursing the corners of her lips, Qin Yu smiled coldly again.

Tong Rui is not only good at acting, her eyes are vicious, and her methods are ruthless, but she is also always picky about her subordinates. thinks that at the beginning, the suffering she suffered by Tong Rui's side was not finished in a while.

If it weren't for Mrs. Tong asking the young lady to choose a girl this time, Tong Rui would not be able to refuse, otherwise Tong Rui would not be able to look down on those girls.

Not to mention a cheap girl who doesn't even pay much attention to her own clothes, and she never notices her carelessness when she breaks a hole.

Lowering her head and looking at the dress again, Qin Yu reached out with a faint smile and stroked the needle and thread that was made up, under the moonlight, the atmosphere was quiet, so peaceful.

……

Although Tong Rui and Tong Yao come to say hello every day, the treatment is obviously different, which can be clearly known from the instructions of the cook.

"I remember, the second lady has a bad stomach, and she loves to eat rice, so she makes it softer." This is the words that the cook keeps reminding Qin Yu every day.

As for the eldest girl Yao, she didn't care.

After a long time, Qin Yu also saw some clues.

In her previous life, as Tong Rui's girl, she only knew a lot of people every day to offer courtesy and compliments, where would she pay attention to Tong Yao, who had nothing to do with her life?

In her impression, she only knew that the eldest daughter of the prefect was not in good health, she took medicine all the year round to regulate her body, she was a medicine jar, and she stayed at home and didn't like outsiders.

Outside, most of the people are smart and lively, and the elf is well-behaved, but when it comes to the eldest lady of Tongfu, they all frown, and they don't like it even more.

Later, I saw that it was true.

Tong Yao's melon seed face is small, and only two eyes as big as copper bells can be seen on her cheeks without a trace of flesh. The body is like a willow branch, not like the vitality that a girl should have, but a little lifeless, and her face is even more pale, as if it will fall when the wind blows.

Seeing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but think to herself in her heart, and fell into deep thought day by day.

But, in addition, it was interesting for Qin Yu.

She remembered a night shift to serve food to Mrs. Tong, and Mrs. Tong glanced at the table, and couldn't help frowning: "What about A-Yao's favorite fish meatballs?" Suddenly, one sentence was already terrifying, and everyone trembled.

Since then, at every meal, the next person has dared to make less fish meatballs.

At night, Qin Yu lay silently in the next room, the room was silent, her eyes in the dark night seemed to be shining, and after a while, Qin Yu suddenly laughed lightly.

How many years she lived in Tongfu in her previous life, she never understood the relationship between the young lady and the lady here, but it is a little interesting to look at it today.

Mrs. Tong treats Tong Yao a little differently from Tong Rui.

……

"A-Yao, look at your skinny, but you eat on time every day?"

Tong Yao nodded, her pale face was not superfluously complimented: "Thank you mother for your concern, A-Yao used it on time." ”

Mrs. Tong spoke sharply, and when she heard this, she turned her face: "Go and call the maid in the eldest lady's small kitchen!" ”

Tong Yao frowned lightly when she heard this, but she didn't refute it out loud.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tong immediately reprimanded the subordinate of the rod, and in the face of Tong Yao's girl, she even harshly accused: "What a white-eyed wolf, is this how the Tong Mansion raises you?" Miss is getting thinner and thinner, but you are alive and moist. If that's the case, you don't want the moon silver next month! ”

Tong Yao's girl was teary-eyed when she was taught, her head was lowered, and she felt aggrieved in her heart.

This matter was only half a day, and it spread throughout the courtyard with the mouth of everyone.

It's because Mrs. Tong cares about Miss Chang, knowing that Miss Chang's health is not good, for fear that her subordinates will be sluggish, she will have to check it once every ten days and a half months.

After Qin Yu knew, she frowned instead:

Tong Yao has a poor body, she doesn't eat much, and it is natural to be thin, but she has to teach Tong Yao's girl a lesson every once in a while, and this number of times is too frequent.

She herself is a maid, so she knows that if she does this for a long time, her subordinates will have a feeling of resistance to her master.

Tong Yao is the daughter of the former lady, so after a long time, the slave is afraid that the servant will be more absent-minded and resentful.

……

"Red Lotus?"

A few days later, at noon one day, the subordinates went back to rest after serving the masters, and Qin Yu, who was left, cleaned up the sundries in the small kitchen.

Halfway through the packing, as soon as she looked up, Qin Yu saw the red lotus.

The person had a pale face, a weak appearance, leaning on the door of the small kitchen, the corners of his eyes were red, in less than a month, the round little face was actually a lot thinner at the moment, and the clothes hung on the body looked empty.

Qin Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly pulled her over.

"How did you get here?"

As soon as Qin Yu lowered her head, she saw tears beginning to flow from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't say a word.

"What's going on?" Qin Yu asked Hongyu to sit on the low table in the small kitchen to rest, but after asking for a long time, she didn't see the other party answer.

I don't want to ask more, Qin Yu looked at the red lotus and wiped her tears, the small kitchen echoed with a shallow sobbing sound, the tip of the red lotus nose was red from crying, the skin was a little cracked and peeling, the hair was not very clean, the cold winter wax moon, the fingers under the sleeves were bruised.

Reaching out and touching it, Qin Yu realized that the clothes on Hongyuan's body were still as thick as when she entered the mansion some time ago.

No wonder.

Sighing slightly, Qin Yu stood on tiptoe and looked outside the small kitchen, and saw that there was no one around, so she turned around and went to the small stove in the house to make a fire.

A large bowl of porridge was poured into the steaming stove, which the cook had not eaten during lunch.

After thinking about it, Qin Yu added two pieces of ginger to the rice porridge, and added some crushed eggs and leftover meat foam.

One or two eggs left or right, Mama shouldn't find out.

After a few moments, the steaming rice porridge with an attractive aroma is out of the pot.

"Eat some." Qin Yu pushed the porridge bowl to Hongyuan, "The body is so cold, if you get sick, it will be even more difficult in Tongfu in the future." ”

Seeing that Hongyu was willing to refuse, Qin Yu was half scared and half coaxed.

As soon as these words came out, the tears that had suddenly stopped by Hongyu instantly flowed all over his face, and the hand that originally wanted to refuse obediently caught the bowl of hot porridge.
