Chapter 2 Whether to sue or not
Xia Xi was annoyed and embarrassed, the eldest girl's temperament was a little unenlightened, and the monthly silver was all managed by Mother Yang, and they almost didn't have any change on them. It just so happened that she was in a hurry to come out today, and she didn't even bring a purse, where to go to dig out money for these mothers-in-law?
The woman looked at Xia Xi's face with a touch of shame, and she was even more proud, and with a little contempt: "If the Xia Xi girl didn't bring the silver, my wife would only be embarrassed once, the things in this cabinet really can't be used, why don't you go back and get the silver and come back?" β
Arguing with these mothers-in-law, Xia Xi has been taught once, not to mention, she is alone at this time, and she is really not the opponent of these mothers-in-law, so Xia Xi has no choice but to hold the bottle and turn around.
Shu Manyao is slowly combing through the messy memories in her mind, in her previous life, in this life, one moment of anger, one moment of grief, one moment of regret, it's just that it's been a few days, and now she can finally control the emotions on her face. Seeing Xia Xi coming back with the bottle, he looked at Xia Xi with an angry face, and after a turn of thought, he asked, "What, I was bullied?" β
Xia Xi took a deep breath, put the rose dew on the table, and gave Shu Manyao a salute: "The slave maid didn't do what the girl explained, and asked the girl to punish her." β
Shu Manyao raised her hand and motioned for her to get up: "You tell me first, what happened." β
Xia Xi said the matter from beginning to end: "The slave has no choice, so she turned around and asked the girl to forgive her sins." β
Shu Manyao didn't speak, Xia Xi held her hands together, lowered her head and didn't speak. After a long while, Xia Xi suspected that Shu Manyao was asleep, and was about to speak, but saw Shu Manyao's body move, and then slowly sat up: "What time is it?" β
Xia Xi hurriedly looked at the hourglass on the windowsill and replied respectfully, "Girl, it's just early noon." β
"It's time for Daddy to go down in a while, right?" Shu Manyao got up, walked to the dresser, reached out to open the dresser, and turned his head to look at Xia Xi: "Are they back from the Autumn Dynasty?" If you come back, ask Qiu Chao to come in and comb my hair. If you don't come back, call Jingqiu over. β
Xia Xi was a little stunned, the girl's expression and tone when she spoke just now seemed to be a little different from before. Just now, the girl asked about the master again, is it possible, is the girl planning to sue the master?
Thinking about it, Xia Xi's face turned pale: "Girl, do you want to tell the master about this today?" β
Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows: "In your opinion, it's better to tell the master or not." β
Xia Xi secretly glanced at Shu Manyao's face, a little excited and a little trembling in her heart, if the girl is really different from before, she will be tough, this backyard, except for the old lady, is the most noble girl. No matter how high the status of the lady is, she is just a stepwife, and the eldest girl is the eldest daughter left by the original match.
When the status of the big girls is high, are they afraid that there will be no way out?
However, I am afraid that the eldest girl is hard for a while, and after this day, she will change back to her original appearance. When the time comes, Mrs. will definitely have to find a way to rectify the eldest girl, she can't do anything with the eldest girl, and she has to take the people around the girl to get angry?
After hesitating for a while, seeing that Shu Manyao seemed a little impatient, Xia Xi hurriedly replied: "Big girl, if you let the slave and maid say it, the slave and maid feel that this matter can't be told to the eldest master, even if you want to say it, you have to change the method." β
Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly, Xia Xi saw that Shu Manyao was not angry, she was slightly relieved, and decided to take a gamble, even if the eldest girl did not offend Madame, she would not be liked by Madame, and the old lady was even more mediocre to the eldest girl, if the eldest girl was still like this, they would definitely have no good way out in the future.
"When the slave maid first went to the small kitchen, Sister Jin Ling was busy, no matter what, filial piety is greater than heaven, we can't rob the old lady of the stove." Xia Xi pondered for a while and said: "When I went to the big kitchen, the mother-in-law said the rules inside and out, no rules are not a circle, we live in the old lady's yard, and the monthly meals are given to the small kitchen, and the big kitchen is only prepared for the meals of the old lady, the eldest young master and the second girl, if the mother-in-law grasps this point and says, the girl still ignores it, I am afraid that she will be said to be unreasonable."
Shu Manyao slowly combed her hair with a comb, and Xia Xi didn't dare to move after speaking, just stood in place and waited for Shu Manyao to speak.
"Let's call Autumn Dynasty." After a long time, Shu Manyao said softly, Xia Xi looked up at Shu Manyao, and saw that she still had a smile on her face, her expression was a little indifferent, and she couldn't see what she meant by her words just now.
Xia Xi held back the loss in her heart and went outside to find Qiu Chao. Qiu Chao is a lively one, as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "Girl, the wool we got this year is really good, there are two pieces of white fox fur, Ming'er slave maid and Winter Twilight make a cloak for the girl, but the long one can't be done, let's make a short one?" The kind with a hat, lined with bright red lining, the girl's skin is very white, and she must look good when she wears it. β
Shu Manyao handed her the comb: "I combed a simple hairstyle today, and I want to bring that jasper hairpin." β
Qiu Chao answered, Dong Twilight was busy handing things to the side, and Xia Xi began to clean up the room.
was busy, I saw that the door curtain was lifted, and Chun Chen came in with a food box: "Girl, I went to the big kitchen to get you a snack, your favorite date cake, I waited in the big kitchen for a long time, just out of the pot, can you taste it?" β
Shu Manyao turned his head sideways and glanced at Xia Xi. Xia Xi looked surprised: "You said when you went to the big kitchen to get snacks, and you have been getting it until now?" β
Chunchen shook his head: "No, when I went out of the yard, I happened to meet Bao's mother, Bao's mother said that she was going to make a pair of shoes for the old lady, but it happened that her son was sick, and she wanted to go back and take a look, so she asked me to help." I thought that Mother Bao was also a close friend of the old lady, and if she could help our girl say a few good words in front of the old lady, the old lady would definitely like our girl, so I went over to help for a while. β
Shu Manyao nodded: "Since it was Bao's mother who asked you to help, then you should help more." β
Then he stopped talking, Qiu Chao turned his wrist around and tied Shu Manyao's hair: "Girl, can you take a look?" β
Shu Manyao stretched out her hand and twisted out a jasper hairpin from the dresser, inserted it behind her hair, looked left and right, nodded, and Qiu Chao smiled again: "Girl, is it a little monotonous?" Otherwise, with this velvet flower? β
"No, that's all." Shu Manyao got up and walked out, Xia Xi hurriedly came over, raised his arm and put it in front of Shu Manyao's eyes. Shu Manyao frowned slightly, and thought for a while before she remembered, in recent years, I don't know what's going on, women have suddenly become popular to wrap their little feet, and her stepmother gave her own daughter, the second and third girls of the Shu family, all wrapped their little feet.
So, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu walked up, both of them were swaying, looking weak. In her previous life, she always heard people say that walking like that is particularly good-looking, but she has passed the age of binding her feet, so she can only secretly learn that posture, but whenever she walks, she must hold the maid's arm and sway.
But I don't know how ridiculous this Dong Shi looks in the eyes of others.
"No need." Waving her hand, Shu Manyao just walked forward, in this life, she will never learn from Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu again, she Shu Manyao is the eldest daughter of the Shu family, why put herself in the dust and learn the actions of others everywhere?
This person, only when he has self-esteem, will he be respected by others. In her last life, it took her more than 20 years of life to understand this sentence.
With his hands crossed in front of his lower abdomen, Shu Manyao slowly walked towards the courtyard in the middle. A few maids in the back, you look at me, I look at you, there are some doubts and inexplicability in their eyes, only Dongdui looked at Shu Manyao's back, and muttered in a low voice: "The girl looks so good when she walks." β
Xia Xi paused, dragged Qiu Chao, and the two of them hurriedly followed Shu Manyao in front.
The two little maids were teasing a parrot hanging under the eaves under the porch, and when they saw Shu Manyao coming, they hurriedly saluted, and Shu Manyao smiled gently: "Grandmother is busy now?" β
"Back to the eldest girl, the slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid goes to ask Sister Jin Ling." The little maid smiled and saluted Shu Manyao, and when Shu Manyao raised her hand, she hurriedly came to the door and secretly beckoned to Jin Ling.
When Jin Ling saw Shu Manyao, she was slightly stunned for a moment, and then opened the door curtain: "Oh, it turned out that the big girl is here, is the big girl's body okay?" The weather has been unpredictable these days, even the old lady has a little cough, and the big girl has to take good care of herself. β
"Thank you Sister Jin Ling for your concern." Shu Manyao smiled and nodded, and when she entered the door, she saw the old lady sitting on the soft couch with a whole book in front of herβthe kind of book that was full of pictures, and the storyline was also very coherent, and the old lady read it with relish.
Shu Manyao didn't bother her, sat down quietly on the side, saw that there was still a sewing basket on the soft couch, and took the purse to embroider two stitches.
"When did the big girl come over?" After a while, the old lady suddenly asked, Shu Manyao quickly got up and saluted the old lady: "Not long after I came over, I didn't dare to disturb when I saw that my grandmother was busy." β
The old lady nodded and closed the book: "Why are you here now?" How's your body doing? Can you be cured? β
"Let my grandmother worry, my granddaughter is all right, and the doctor came to check the pulse this morning, saying that she has been cured, and she doesn't need to drink the bitter medicine anymore." Shu Manyao said with a smile, stepped forward and took the beauty hammer, and gently beat the old lady's shoulder: "Grandmother must be tired after reading for so long, granddaughter will help you hammer." β
The old lady looked at Shu Manyao with a little surprise, in the past, her granddaughter, as soon as she entered this door, she was like a puppeteer, wooden and eyeless, but now it is strange, not only has eyes, she does not disturb when she reads a book, but also learns to please herself, it is really the sun that comes out in the west.
Or, is it possible that the medicine prescribed by the doctor can also make people enlightened and smart?
