Chapter 112: Bosom Friend
was very angry in her heart, but Zhao Feiyan couldn't show it, so she had to smile and apologize: "Miss Hua, I'm really sorry for today's matter, the maid is not sensible, which caused Miss Hua to be neglected, please forgive me." ”
With a nonchalant look, Su Wen replied with a light smile: "How big is it, how can I take it to heart." Miss Zhao is two of the top ten talented women in Beijing, and the maids around her must be no different, this time it is estimated that she is just careless, and she will pay attention next time. ”
Hearing her say this, the expression on Zhao Feiyan's face became even more uncomfortable. Although Su Wen didn't say it explicitly, the sound outside the strings was already very clear.
His eyes swept over the nurse Chen and Grape who were waiting beside him, and Zhao Feiyan was secretly bitter in his heart. I knew they were so useless, so why did she do such a thankless thing. As a result, in the end, she not only failed to embarrass Su Wen, but also confirmed herself for the crime of incompetence in training subordinates.
The most unbearable thing for her was that Mo Yi stood by from beginning to end, watching all the process of her disgrace. She is bent on marrying into the Yongning Marquis Mansion, how will she deal with herself in the future?
His eyes swept over the lychee kneeling on the ground, and Zhao Feiyan was secretly ruthless in his heart. In order to save her reputation, this time she had to grieve Lychee. Only by struggling with lychees can she save some impression points, otherwise the difficulty of attacking Mo Yi will increase exponentially in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feiyan made up her mind, and then said with a frosty face: "Lychee, do you know what is wrong?" If you can realize the mistake you have made, I can give you another chance to repent, or don't blame me for not caring for my master's servant. ”
Hear her say so. Lychee still has something I don't understand, and the thoughts flow in my heart. Immediately, he pleaded with remorse: "Miss, Lychee knows that she is wrong, please be kind to Miss." Miss Hua is a guest, and Lychee should think about the guests first, and should not turn a blind eye to the guests. The slave disregarded Miss's usual teachings. Please also ask the lady to punish. ”
Zhao Feiyan is quite satisfied with the performance of lychee. Especially the sentence that disregarded the usual teachings, and suddenly plucked her out of this matter.
Sighing helplessly, Zhao Feiyan said with a contradictory face: "If you snub me, you are still forgivable." But you snub the guest, so how can I open my mouth lightly. If I spare you, won't these maids do the same in the future, and then your sin will be great. ”
Watching this scene with cold eyes. Su Wen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Zhao Feiyan should not be spared if she offends the guests one by one, isn't it an allusion to her small belly and chicken intestines? Since others allude to her small belly and chicken intestines, she wants to show kindness and generosity.
Sighing softly, Su Wen said with a moving face: "Miss Zhao, you don't need to be embarrassed. Lychee is just an unintentional mistake, and the punishment you just made is actually enough. Although I almost got burned, I didn't feel neglected, so Miss Zhao didn't need to worry too much. ”
Hear that. Everyone present immediately cast puzzled glances at her. The reason why Lychee was punished was that she was the driving force behind it, but why did she suddenly change her tone now?
Seeing the eyes of the crowd. Su Wen then said with a smile: "From Miss Zhao, I have seen how the nobles of the capital treat their subordinates well. Although I don't have the same noble status as the nobles of the capital, I approve of them doing this, so I naturally hope that Miss Zhao can be lenient with lychees. ”
After speaking, Su Wen's gaze swept over everyone present one by one, and finally fixed on Lychee. Then he continued with a smile: "Such a character is naturally worth learning from the noble girls of Yunzhou, so I pleaded for mercy." Not only that, but I also want to tell other ladies about this, so that they can also learn a little bit of the demeanor of the nobles of the capital. ”
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Feiyan's eyes. Tell this to the other ladies of Yunzhou City, she doesn't think that Su Wen will focus on treating her subordinates well.
Looking at Su Wen, who looked expectant, Zhao Feiyan secretly hated in her heart, but she had to reluctantly say, "Miss Hua, you don't know anything." Treating people well also depends on specific things, and ordinary mistakes are just fine, and such serious mistakes as today are also heavily punished in the capital. ”
Hearing her say this, Su Wen deliberately showed a surprised expression, and then said with embarrassment: "Miss Zhao, you see that I have spoken, can I spare Miss Lychee?" ”
After saying this, Su Wen saw a trace of gloom flash in Zhao Feiyan's eyes. She couldn't help sneering in her heart: You don't imply that I'm not kind and generous, then I'll show you. Not only to show you, but also to make you have no excuse to reduce the punishment of the maid, and see who can win this encounter.
Hearing her words, Zhao Feiyan really wanted to agree. But at the thought that this matter would be spread, she couldn't help but feel a tension in her heart.
Between the maid and her reputation, she quickly made a choice, and immediately said with a smile: "Miss Hua, you don't have to say much. Since Lychee has made a mistake that should not be made, it must be punished as it should be. So let's take away a year's worth of money, and kneel under the eaves for an hour. ”
Seeing her resolute face, Su Wen deliberately sighed softly, and then turned to Lychee with a worried face and said, "Miss Lychee, don't hold a grudge against your young lady." She did it for your own good. ”
Hearing her say this, Lychee hurriedly said: "Thank you Miss Hua for your concern, the natural way of slaves and maids is good for slaves and maids, how can there be grudges in my heart." After serving the young lady for so many years, the young lady's slavery knows best. Although the one who was punished was a slave, the young lady must not feel good in her heart, and all this was the slave's fault. ”
Listening to her statement, Su Wen felt a little regret in his heart. I thought that I could take this opportunity to stir up the relationship between their master and servant, but now it seems that they have done useless work.
Despite this, Su Wen was not disappointed at all. She didn't expect to succeed in the first place, and such a result had been expected for a long time. Regardless, she managed to win today's encounter. Now, she can consider retreating, and the rest of the mess will be handed over to Zhao Feiyan's master and servant to clean up.
Turning his head to look at Mo Yi, Su Wen said with an embarrassed face: "Senior brother, now that Miss Zhao has to deal with the maids around her, should we avoid it?" ”
Hearing her say this, Mo Yi immediately nodded, and said with an approving face: "Well, what Senior Sister said is reasonable. Now my cousin has to deal with the maids around her, and it is inconvenient for us to continue to stay here. Shall we go around the gentleman and see if his guests have left? ”
reached an agreement, and the two resigned to Zhao Feiyan at the same time. She had lost a lot of face just now, and now she wanted the two of them to disappear immediately, so she agreed to come down.
Walking on the way to Hongqian's courtyard, Su Wen said to Mo Yi with a smile on his face: "Senior brother, your cousin's mind is not simple. Looking at her attitude towards you, it seems a little different? You've been in contact with her for a short time, so you should have seen some clues, right? ”
Being so teased by Su Wen, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Mo Yi's face, but then he said with a straight face: "Well, you can see it, how can the master not see the reason?" ”
Hearing this, Su Wen did not continue to ask. After all, this is a housework of the Yongning Hou Mansion, and it is inconvenient for her to ask more as an outsider. To know so much is actually a transgression. If you change to someone who is a little more estranged, you may have turned your face now.
Seeing that she didn't continue to ask, Mo Yi immediately cast a puzzled look, and then said with a tangled face: "The two families are close to each other, this has always been the meaning of my grandfather's family, but my mother is unwilling." ”
Although he knew that he shouldn't ask, Su Wen still couldn't help the torment of curiosity, and asked with a gossip on his face: "It's not uncommon to kiss and kiss now, why is your mother unwilling?" Marrying your niece as a daughter-in-law, your mother's life can be more comfortable, why not? ”
Hearing her ask, Mo Yi sighed, and then replied sullenly: "My mother is the daughter of my maternal grandfather, but my cousin's father is a concubine, and my maternal grandmother has only one child in her life. ”
Hearing this, Su Wen immediately understood Mrs. Mo's thoughts. Since ancient times, she must have a bad relationship with her brother, and of course she doesn't want Zhao Feiyan to marry in. In other words, even if Zhao Feiyan can marry in, the possibility of adding blockage to her is the greatest, and the discord between the family and the house is almost a predictable tragedy.
Besides, Zhao Feiyan's father is a concubine. Even if he is the only heir of the Zhao family, he can't change this fact. The daughter of a concubine, even if she is one of the top ten talented women in the capital, is not worthy of the prince of the Marquis of Yongning.
After being silent for a long time, Su Wen finally spoke: "In this way, your grandmother's life must be unsatisfactory." Now that you have grown up, you must honor the old man and support the old man. ”
Hearing her say this, Mo Yi cast a surprised look, and at the same time said with a resolute tone: "Well, I will." If they dare to neglect my grandmother, I will not let that family go. If it really doesn't work, I will take my grandmother to Yunzhou to enjoy the blessings, which is better than looking at those miscellaneous things. ”
When Su Wen heard this, his face showed excitement, and he immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Yes, it should be done like this." None of the Zhao family is related to the old man, how can he be kind to the old man. Only by staying with their loved ones can the old man's life be comfortable. ”
Seeing her excited look, Mo Yi's eyes showed a light of seeing a bosom friend. He had this idea a long time ago, but he never got the approval of others, and now that he finally met someone who could agree with his idea, the excitement in his heart is naturally self-evident.
From this moment on, he regarded Su Wen as a like-minded bosom friend who could share some deviant thoughts.
