Chapter 18 Friend is not foe
Honglan has been standing in the yard for a day, although it is nothing for a maid to stand for a day, but on this day, she has not eaten a mouthful of food or drunk a mouthful of water. If it weren't for the fact that the weather was just right, the heat and cold were moderate, I am afraid that I would have collapsed.
Because she felt that it was not good to have a person in the middle of the yard, Chu Lingfeng pointed to a corner for her, and asked her to think about it there, this thought was just one day, and there were other maids passing by from time to time during the period, but because Chu Lingfeng was obviously a newcomer to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so even if she was a master who was no longer favored, no one was willing to jump out and do something for her.
And for a whole day, Chu Lingfeng didn't say a word to Honglan, as if he had forgotten that there was such a person in the corner.
After entering the courtyard, Chu Lingfeng glanced at Honglan who was standing in the shadows, didn't say anything, turned around and entered the room.
"Miss." Xiao Tian glanced back with some concern: "Can she survive until tomorrow, tomorrow...... Can my uncle come back sooner? Didn't he say that it would take two or three days, and what if it was the day after tomorrow, and what if it was tomorrow night? ”
"It's not in the way, there is no wind or rain, the temperature is moderate, and the overnight stay in the open air is not bad for freezing and not bad for heat. She stood all day during the day, and at night when no one was around, she naturally sat down and lay down when she was tired. If she was so stubborn, Mrs. Xue wouldn't have asked her to come to me. Chu Lingfeng sat down at the table: "By the way, give you a chance to be a favor, after I sleep for a while, you secretly take some food to her, just pour a pot of water for two steamed buns, don't talk to her more, put things down and leave, you are too honest, I am afraid that you will be tricked by her." ”
"No, I'm honest, but I'm smart." Xiao Tian touched the door of her head, and went down with a laugh. She had also seen the things that Chu Lingfeng had done in the Chu Mansion, some of which she could understand, but some of them did not suddenly come to her mind until the result.
Chu Lingfeng smiled and didn't say much, washed up and lay down to rest.
What should be said has already been told to the old lady tonight, and as for what conclusions she will draw after listening to it, it is not up to her to decide. Do your best, peace with your destiny, take a step at a time.
After a night without saying anything, when he woke up the next day, Chu Lingfeng called the maid in to serve and freshen up.
Xiao Tian went to the kitchen to let the vegetables go, and Jia'er stood aside with a basin, waiting for Chu Lingfeng to wash, and turned her head slightly from time to time to look out the window.
"What's wrong?" Chu Lingfeng put down the cloth towel, picked a tassel Feiyun hairpin from the dresser and inserted it in the bun, and said casually: "What are you looking at?" ”
"No, nothing." Jia'er hurriedly retracted her gaze, glanced at Chu Lingfeng cautiously, and saw that her expression was calm and there was no displeasure at all, and she added: "Grandma Da Shao, Honglan has been standing for a day and a night." ”
"Yes." Chu Lingfeng responded: "So what? ”
"No, nothing." Jia'er hurriedly said: "It's just that when I passed by this morning, I saw that her face was very white and ugly, as if she was about to pass out." I want to ......"
"You don't have to babble, just say what you think." Chu Lingfeng said calmly: "After a long time, you will know that the people around me, as long as they don't want to harm me, what can they say, if they say something wrong, I won't blame them." ”
Hearing Chu Lingfeng say this, Jia'er was somewhat relieved, and said: "I think, after all, Honglan is a maid given by the eldest lady, if the eldest young grandmother thinks she is not good, just ignore it." Now, if people find out, they will gossip. Moreover, not only is it difficult for the eldest lady to explain, but if the eldest young master comes back and sees it, he may not be happy. ”
After Jia'er finished speaking, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, and she didn't know what Chu Lingfeng would think when she heard it, so she lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, not daring to look at her.
"You're going to think about me." Chu Lingfeng smiled: "Don't worry, I have measure." Since I am the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Xue family, naturally the first thing to coax is Xianggong, without him, I will not be able to stand in Xue Mansion. ”
Even if you stand for a while, you can't stand for a while. Even when Mrs. Xue was still there, when Xue Mingyang's father was still there, he could keep this room and live a worry-free life. But in the future, Chu Lingfeng is like a mirror in his heart, Xue Mingyang is indeed a person who must not be offended, he doesn't need to fall in love with himself, but he must accept himself.
Jia'er heard Chu Lingfeng say this, and seemed to listen to it, but looking at that attitude, she didn't seem to care too much, and she was a little entangled for a while, but she didn't dare to ask again.
Chu Lingfeng washed up, and after a while, Xiao Tian came back from the kitchen, carrying a food box, looking in a good mood, thinking that Yun Linfu had made some good dishes, or the attitude of the people in the kitchen was much better than yesterday.
The food box was opened, and Xiao Tian put the dishes on the table in the same way, but there were not many of them, but they were all according to the taste that Chu Lingfeng liked, which showed that Yun Linfu was doing his best.
Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Miss, what you said to the old lady last night must have worked." ”
"Why, what have you heard?" Chu Lingfeng sandwiched a pea yellow: "Speaking of which, the kitchen is a good place for people to come and go, and any news must not be hidden there." ”
"Oh, there's no news, it's just that Mama Yun said that when Chun'er went to ask her about the old lady's breakfast in the morning, she said casually, saying that the young lady had just entered the door and was not used to the Xue family's diet for a while, so let her do her best, don't slack off." Xiao Tian said: "What kind of person is Chun'er, although it is just one sentence, it can be regarded as an indication of the old lady's position, but it is still useful for others to say ten or a hundred sentences." Mama Yun's heart must be open, knowing that you are in front of the old lady, it can be regarded as pleased. ”
"I begged for it, didn't she also end up with it." Chu Lingfeng smiled, feeling a little more comfortable.
Those words last night were her rare words to open the skylight to a person, although it was a last resort, but if it didn't work or backfired, it would be a pity.
"Well, in this way, the old lady is still reasonable." Xiao Tian rejoiced: "In the future, our life should not be too sad." ”
"Don't worry." Chu Lingfeng sandwiched a mille-feuille crisp and pushed it over: "With me, when will it make you sad." ”
This sounds too safe, Xiao Tian pursed her lips and smiled, looked at the closed door, there was no one else in the room, reached out and picked up the mille-feuille cake and took a bite, squinting her eyes and chewing it.
A piece of mille-feuille crisp went down, Xiao Tian took a sip of tea, and said: "Oh, by the way, there is another news, which has nothing to do with us, but the young lady said that as long as she knows what happened to the Xue Mansion, she will tell you, so I pretended to ask casually." The young lady of the third lady in the house, it seems that the fifth lady is called Xue Mingfan, I don't know what to provoke, she has a long face, saying that she is hiding in the house and crying non-stop, and she doesn't want to see people. I don't know if it's going to be disfigured. ”
