Chapter 022: Provocation
I have to say that Mengbao's talent in female popularity is indeed much stronger than that of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Su Mengbao didn't like it before, so he didn't tap his potential in this area.
Now that Mengbao has taken over her body, it is very handy to pick up the needle and thread, threading the needle and thread, and it looks good.
Mother Zhao looked at the purse in her hand that was gradually taking shape, and was very pleased, and seriously taught her various needle techniques and taught her skills.
The two of them practiced female red in the house, because they didn't want the magpie to know that her original needlework was not good, so they let the red note guard the door every now and then, and reminded them when they saw someone coming.
Several people went their own way, but the courtyard was clean for a few days, and nothing special happened.
In this way, it seems that there is a special leisure, or rather an unappreciated person, that is, the orb.
Baozhu has always not done those rough jobs, and only serves Mengbao closely.
But now Mengbao doesn't like her to serve, leaving only Zhao's mother and the red note by her side, and she has become a superfluous person.
At first, she was happy to be idle, but then she gradually became a little unbreathable.
It's true that she doesn't like to work, but that doesn't mean she likes to be ignored!
Since she was a child, she has been held in a high place as a master, and she has become a dispensable person.
No one in this courtyard bothered her, no one called her to work, but it was not out of respect and fear, but pure ignorance!
Who saw her in the past and didn't respectfully call Sister Baozhu? Now everyone treats her as air, and walks past her without looking at her!
She also tried to return to Miss's side to please Miss, but Miss didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured by the red note and Mother Zhao, so she ignored her!
Miss used to hate Mother Zhao the most, but now she seems to be inseparable for a moment.
It must have been the mother and daughter who spoke ill of her in front of Miss, making Miss dislike her!
Thinking of this, Baozhu became more and more angry, and I couldn't wait to pull the red note over and slap it twice.
At this time, Hongjian was about to go to the kitchen to cook, she looked at her smiling face, suddenly rolled her eyes, and followed.
"Red note, I'll help you."
Red Note glanced back at her, a little inexplicable. Didn't Baozhu always think that the kitchen was dirty and didn't like to come here the most? Why did you suddenly say you wanted to help her?
However, she couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of others, so she still smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”
Baozhu pursed his lips secretly, thinking that you are really embarrassed to let me help you work, and you don't look at your identity.
But she didn't say anything, she walked here and there, and put on a very perfunctory appearance of help.
The red note neatly washed the ingredients that needed to be used, put them on the cutting board and cut them up, and the various ingredients quickly turned into dices or slices in her hands, as if they looked like this.
Baozhu was even more disdainful, and sneered in his heart: If it is really the life of the current person, he will do these jobs.
"Miss seems to be very interested in the magpie that has come again."
She pointed in the direction of the red note, and said something seemingly unintentionally.
"Sister Xi'er and Sister Que'er are good and capable, of course Miss values them."
The red note said while chopping vegetables, without even raising his head.
Baozhu frowned, and secretly cursed elm head.
"Our Jingxin Garden is now small because of the small courtyard, so there are few people. However, it will not be the case when you move back to Zhuxi Garden in the future, and when the eldest lady does not refute the old lady's face, she will arrange for people to come in. ”
"The old man next to Miss is now only you, me and Mother Zhao, and it stands to reason that the two of us are first-class maids who can't be beaten."
"But now that there is a magpie in the yard, it is not necessarily, who knows if the eldest lady will raise a first-class maid from the magpie in order to please the old lady."
"You know, Miss has always felt sorry for me, and my position must be regrettable, but what about you...... It's hard to say then. ”
She spoke in one breath, her eyes pointing in the direction of the red note, observing her expression.
"Then I'll be a second-class maid, it's okay."
The red note said indifferently, and the movements of his subordinates did not stop at all.
"You ......"
Baozhu felt that he was simply playing the piano to the cow, and he couldn't wait to knock open the head of the red note to see what was inside!
"You are willing to be a second-class maid, but have you ever thought about it for Miss? The magpie is a person sent by the old lady, what if they are unfaithful to the young lady and speak ill of the young lady in front of the old lady? ”
Hongjian paused, raised his head and thought about it seriously, and suddenly shook his head with a smile.
"No, Sister Xi'er and Sister Que'er are both good people, even if they will go to report the situation of Jingxinyuan to the old lady, they will not speak ill of Miss."
"How do you know! What if they do! When the time comes......"
"My mother said that although I am a little stupid, I can still see people quite accurately, I think Sister Xi'er and Sister Que'er are not that kind of people."
She said earnestly and began chopping vegetables again.
"You...... You're stupid! When the time comes, you will be demoted to a second-class maid, don't cry! ”
Hongjian smiled: "What's there to cry about, it doesn't matter if he is a first-class maid or a second-class maid, as long as he can stay by Miss's side and serve." Besides, there is no rule that a first-class maid must only be two, the situation in each province is different, sometimes there are one or two more, and it doesn't necessarily mean that I will really be demoted to a second-class maid, don't worry about me. ”
Baozhu was so angry that he almost vomited blood: Who is worried about you! What do you have to worry about me!
Seeing that she didn't take the bait for a long time, she said: "Miss's temperament is very different from the past, and she may not stand up and speak for you when the time comes!" Have you forgotten? The last time I went to the eldest lady's courtyard to say goodbye, she just brought Xi'er and didn't take you. Xi'er had only been here for two days before she won the favor of the young lady, not to mention that she had stayed for so many days now. If the eldest lady wants to promote Xi'er to a big maid and demote you to a second-class maid, the young lady may not say anything! ”
"It's also good for Sister Xi'er to be a big girl, and Miss didn't take me there that day because Sister Xi'er is an old lady's person, and the eldest lady doesn't dare to do anything to her even if she loses her temper. The young lady didn't let me go because she was afraid that I would be embarrassed by the eldest lady if I went, and she did it for my own good. ”
Baozhu thought that the red note was stupid, but she didn't expect that she could think so clearly about some things, so she was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say.
And the red note suddenly thought of something at this time, and the movements in his hand stopped again, and turned his head to look at her directly, with a serious look on his face.
"You say so much...... Isn't it trying to sow discord? ”
The purpose of the orb was so directly debunked, and he stomped his feet angrily.
"What kind of thing are you, who rarely provokes you!"
After saying that, he ran out in shame and anger.
