Chapter 041: Praying Mantis

"You weren't on an errand in the house on the first day, what can you say and what you can't say, and you want me to teach it again? Today, either you two will obediently tell the rumor-monger, or I will find a Ya Po and find another place for you two. It's an eventful time in the house, and you can't afford to be unruly! ”

The more Pearl spoke, the more serious and terrifying the look on his face became.

She has been by Lu's side for ten years, and she has already cultivated a body of momentum, pretending to be a gesture casually, and scaring and scaring the two little girls is no problem.

Sure enough, the two little girls who had been hanging their heads and pretending to be dead couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard that Pearl dared to sell them, and the expressions on their faces became angry.

"My sister is favored, but like the two of us, she is just a slave in this house! I don't believe you have what it takes to sell us! One of the two was a little older, about eleven or twelve, and he looked at Pearl with his neck tilted and a blushing face.

"We shouldn't gossip when we sweep the Sa, we know our mistakes, and let Sister Pearl punish us, but what is the reason for you to talk about betraying us when you open your mouth? At this time, even if it comes to Mother Song, it can't be from Sister Pearl's wishes, right? The other looked a little younger, looked timid, behaved timidly, and said words that seemed to show weakness everywhere, but obviously with a sense of agitation.

The two of them played a double reed really well!

Tong Xue curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and took in the looks of the two girls in the dark......

Such a tacit understanding, saying that it had not been discussed in advance, she didn't believe it.

The slightly younger girl looks about the same size as her, but I'm afraid she's only in her teens.

Thinking about his previous life, when he was ten years old, he could only climb trees and misbehave, which is really far worse than these two people.

Tong Xue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, secretly scolding herself for living too confused in her previous life.

Because the three of them had a dispute in the courtyard, and in the morning, there was silence everywhere, and the movement here attracted the attention of the others.

Another big girl in Lu's house, Jade, rushed over when she heard the news, glanced at the two little girls, and asked Pearl softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Pearl said the matter with a cold face.

After listening to this, Jadeite's complexion also changed slightly.

She suppressed her voice and reprimanded the two ignorant little girls a few times, and asked them to continue to finish their work, and wait for breakfast to find time to dispose of them.

"Let's go in first, it's busy inside, it's not too late for these two little girls to deal with it when they're free, but they can't delay their business." Jade persuaded Pearl to say.

She and the pearl rose together with the big girl, the two of them perform their own duties, and they have been living in harmony and harmonious relations over the years.

Seeing that Jade had taken the idea, Pearl nodded with a grim expression, turned to the dark place and saluted, "The two girls are ignorant and have polluted the girl's ears, and the slave will definitely be dealt with strictly, the girl, please come in!" ”

No matter why Pearl said this, Tong Xue was really pushed out by her as a backstopper.

Tong Xue walked out unhurriedly, and there was no trace of resentment on her face after being used by pearls, but she glanced at the two little girls with disgust, and said in a vicious voice: "Next time I hear you talking nonsense, I'll cut your tongues with scissors!" ”

The two little girls didn't know that Tong Xue was hidden in the dark, and when they heard the words, they immediately "poofed", and knelt down in front of Tong Xue, begging for mercy again and again.

Even the moment Jade saw Tong Xue, the expression on her face changed.

However, with Tong Xue here, she couldn't snatch the pearls and dispose of the two little girls like that.

"Sweep the yard first, and then go and kneel in the remedies." Pearl stared at the two little girls with cold eyes.

Tong Xue didn't make sense to deal with her, she just glared at the two little girls viciously, and went to the direction of the bedroom.

Jade walked last, and couldn't help but glance back at the two little girls, and the two of them also raised their eyes to look at her, their eyes faintly pleading.

The two of them were under the eaves of the porch outside the bedroom, and they happened to meet another second-class girl in Lu's room who was holding a tray with both hands and carrying medicine.

"The slave maid greets the eldest girl, and I have seen the pearl and the jade sister." The girl calmly greeted a few people.

Tong Xue looked at the bowl of black black fetal pills, "You boiled this medicine?" ”

The girl nodded and said respectfully, "Yes." ”

Tong Xue wrinkled her nose, "I deliberately got up an hour early today, just to make medicine for my mother in person, you boiled all the medicine, so what should I boil?" ”

The girl was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Tong Xue to say this.

Or jade reacted sensitively, and immediately said with a smile when she heard this: "The eldest girl's filial piety moved the slave maid, why don't you give this medicine to the eldest girl, and when the lady wakes up, you personally send it in, isn't it the same as you!" ”

Tong Xue nodded and ordered Cailan to take the tray.

In the blink of an eye, she raised her hand and asked her to splash all the medicine into the rose bush under the porch.

"I said I would make medicine for my mother myself, and I would do it myself." Tong Xue glanced at Pearl, "Go to the kitchen." ”

Pearl lowered her eyes, and the moment she lowered her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth also curled slightly.

After arriving at the small kitchen, Tong Xue asked Cai Lan to put aside the freshly boiled clay pot, and went to find an unused clay pot, washed it with water, scalded it with boiling water again, opened the medicine bag, poured all the medicinal materials into it, soaked the medicinal materials with four bowls of water, and put them on the fire to cook slowly.

"The slave and maid go and bury the dregs and wash the jars." The second-class girl who had just been poured medicine by Tong Xue also followed up and came to the kitchen, looking a little frightened.

Tong Xue sighed, and comforted her in a good voice: "I poured your medicine, not because you did not do well, but because you are a child, and his heart is serious, if he even cheats on his mother's medicine, such filial piety is not enough!" ”

The second-class girl said yes again and again, and respectfully withdrew with a clay pot.

Tong Xue squatted by the fire with a pu fan, looked at the fire intently, and waved her hand at Cai Lan after the girl withdrew.

The master and servant have already formed a tacit understanding that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve during this time.

Cai Lan led the order to follow out, and looked at the girl from a distance to find a remote place to bury the medicine residue, and after she left, she followed again, dug out the medicine residue, wrapped part of it with a handkerchief, and then covered the soil again.

She tucked the handkerchief back into her sleeve and returned to the kitchen to stand by.

An hour later, Lu got up, and the medicine was boiled in time.

Tong Xue personally carried the medicine on a tray and presented it to Lu.

"Mother, this medicine is boiled in the morning, after you drink it, there is no discomfort in the storage!"

Lu took the medicine, rubbed her forehead with his hand, and lowered his head to drink the medicine.

She took the first sip, paused suddenly, frowned slightly, and glanced at Tong Xue.

Tong Xue nodded with a smile and looked back at her.

Lu also curled the corners of his mouth and drank all the remaining medicine in one go.
