Chapter 8 Affordability
There seems to be a mirror in front of him, reminding Xie Ning all the time that he should not lose his heart. She is a guest of the Hou Mansion, and she is always a guest of the Hou Mansion.
When she first entered the Hou Mansion, Xie Ning was inevitably blinded by the splendid luxury here, and after seeing these three people, she suddenly realized her gap.
She grew up in Shudi, neglected to teach since she was a child, and knew nothing about etiquette rules, and would be ridiculed because of her appearance and dress. She sympathizes with Gao Jing, but maybe in the eyes of others, she can't compare to a decent subordinate in front of her master.
"Where's the second child, why didn't you see him coming?"
Liu's inquiring voice interrupted Xie Ning's thoughts. Putting aside his worries, Shainin turned to think of a way to break the situation.
"The second master discussed with his colleagues yesterday and came back late. I had a headache at this time, so I had to ask my daughter-in-law to say goodbye on my behalf. ”
"Okay."
"Ha," Xiang sneered, and pierced mercilessly, "Discussing with colleagues? My brother and sister are really good at laughing, why don't I know that this soft red mansion is a place for discussions? ”
"Sister-in-law!" Ho reluctantly whispered a warning.
"Okay, you juniors go down first."
Liu spoke, and several little girls didn't dare to stay longer, so they left the Heling Courtyard one by one.
Gao Yiyan stabbed her sister beside her, and asked mysteriously, "Sister, why did you say the second uncle went last night?" ”
"I don't know where you've learned all the rules you have learned. I'll go first, if you want to know, go and ask your mother yourself. Gao Yiyao frowned and reprimanded before walking away, and the corners of her eyes did not sweep the cousin and cousin next to her.
was dismayed by her sister, Gao Yiyan turned over and asked Xie Ning, "Guess what they said in it?" ”
Xie Ning shook his head, "I don't know." Although she could hear the people inside, it took her internal strength to consume her internal strength, and secondly, the matter had nothing to do with her, and she was not willing to eavesdrop on it.
"Forget it, I didn't count on you either." Gao Yiyan shook her head in disappointment, ignored Xie Ning, and turned to leave.
Xie Ning turned his head to look behind him, only to find that Gao Jing had silently walked away. She had a good ability to recognize the way, refused to be accompanied by the maid of the Heling Courtyard, and returned to the small courtyard with easy steps.
"I've seen Miss Cousin."
As soon as Xie Ning stepped into the courtyard gate with one foot, he heard the voice of asking for peace, and when he looked up, he saw two fifteen or sixteen-year-old maids.
But after a trip out, why are there two more maids in the courtyard?
Xie Ning hooked the corners of his mouth and asked Gu Sui who was standing aside, "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss, I don't know very well, this is Baoxin and Baoling, it was explained by Lou's mother, and I will follow you to serve you in the future."
Lou Mom? A look of doubt appeared in Xie Ning's eyes, and he turned sideways and asked, "You were sent here by Madame?" ”
"Replying to Miss Cousin," the maid raised her head haughtily, and replied in a man's voice, "I have been sent to serve Miss Cousin at the orders of Madame herself." ”
Xie Ning glanced at her and didn't make a sound, but secretly laughed in his heart. Zhongfeng was taken away, but Xiang did not forget to block her. Can you send such two maids? Just looking at their squeamish appearance that can't carry their shoulders and can't lift their hands, Shainin can also be sure that they won't be able to endure it for long.
As Xie Ning expected, the exquisitely furnished house in her eyes was not worth mentioning for these two maids with eyes above the top. Of the five rooms, only Shainin's bedroom could barely catch their eyes.
"Miss Cousin, can the two of us be on duty here?"
Seeing the disgust in their eyes, Xie Ning had a bad idea in his mind, and immediately refused seriously: "I can snore when I sleep, and no one has always been willing to get close at night." Would you like to try it? ”
I didn't expect Shainin to deceive them, and the two maids shook their heads vigorously. Gu Sui was still not satisfied, and added fuel and vinegar and said: "My young lady is right, I remember that once the young lady had a high fever, and I was forced to stay with her to take care of it, and the result was ...... Alas, since then, I have never dared to pass by the door of the lady's room at night. ”
Looking at Baoxin Baoling's face, which was discolored for a moment, the master and servant couldn't help but smile at each other.
The two maids sent by the Xiang family were too useless, first they disliked the bad place where they lived, and when Ma Pozi came to deliver the food, they were even more unbearable. Bao Xin, who was arrogant, turned black at the moment, turned around and pulled Bao Ling back to the Jade Courtyard.
Although they didn't confess, Shainin could guess that they were going back to eat. The food sent by Ma Pozi was indeed difficult to swallow, but she did not stop them, but was happy to let the two maids leave, so that they could go out of the house to buy some food for herself and Gu Sui.
The car went out of the Hou Mansion over the wall familiarly, and Xie Ning, who was already familiar with the surrounding environment, walked to the nearest Fang City.
"Big stuffing, thin crust, economical! Li Ji buns, ten wen and one drawer! ”
Ten pennies and one drawer? Shainin stopped, looking at the slowly moving stall in disbelief, his eyes full of shock.
The two drawers of buns yesterday cost twenty-five yuan to buy, and Xie Ning knew that the prices in Beijing were much higher than those in Shudi, and he didn't think the prices were outrageous.
But this big stuffed bun with ten cents and a drawer, Xie Ning twitched the corner of his mouth, it was too cheap.
The stall owner noticed Xie Ning and asked with a smile on his face, "Girl, do you want to buy a drawer of buns." Our stuffing is an ancestral secret recipe, and you will be satisfied! Don't believe me? ”
The steamer on the stall was lifted, and the tempting fragrance came to his nose in an instant, Xie Ning looked closer and secretly swallowed his saliva.
"What does the girl think, do you want to have a drawer?"
Puzzled, Xie Ning confirmed loudly: "Auntie, is this bun really only sold for ten wen and a drawer?" ”
"That's right, a drawer of buns only costs ten cents."
"Trouble my aunt to get me three drawers of buns."
"Okay!" The stall owner's aunt quickly packed the buns, tied the drawer cage with hemp rope, and did not forget to hand it to Xie Ning in person.
"I'll have a drawer too!"
"Auntie, I want two drawers!"
Listening to the lively voices of the diners behind him, Xie Ning hooked the corners of his mouth, and was happy for the stall owner's aunt from the bottom of his heart. This lady is a real person, not only cheap, but also very thoughtful.
Saving the effort of extracting the rope around his waist, Xie Ning looked at the sturdy cage in his hand, appreciated it in his heart, and decided to patronize this Li Ji bun more in the future.
After buying affordable buns, Xie Ning happily returned to the Hou Mansion, her figure had just disappeared from the wall, and there was movement in a carriage parked not far away.
The man leaning on the cushion closed his eyes and mentioned as if casually, "She's back?" ”
The gray-clothed entourage replied respectfully: "Yes, Miss Xie has already returned home." After finishing speaking, his tone paused, and he said: "Lord Wang, do you want to send someone to inform Mama Li to come back?" ”
"No, tell her to follow the normal street vendor business and don't show traces."
"Lord Wang, my subordinates don't understand, why do you care so much about this woman?"
A cold male voice sounded, "No trace, you trespassed." ”
Hearing this, Wuji's expression changed, and he immediately knelt down and asked for his guilt, "My subordinates know their mistakes, and I ask the prince to forgive them." ”
After a long silence, a low laugh came from inside the car, and the man straightened up, rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and sighed, "I don't know either." ”
