Chapter 12: The Slave

"This is ......"

The woman named Aunt Liu finally noticed Ye Lingyi.

Danqing's gaze returned to a polite smile when she returned to Aunt Liu, and explained: "The Taishi instructed her to stay in the mansion first to be a rough girl, and if Sister Liu has any work, just tell her to do it." ”

"Oh......"

Sister-in-law Liu had a seemingly abrupt expression: "It turns out that you are the girl that the young masters of the Helian family brought back from Cangling Mountain!" ”

Sister-in-law Liu looked at her from top to bottom, with some disdain in her eyes.

This made Ye Lingyi feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, and when she wanted to talk back, she heard Dan Qing smile and said, "In the future, this girl will be taken care of by Aunt Liu." ”

"Green kites?" Aunt Liu and Ye Lingyi were stunned when they heard this name.

Sister-in-law Liu reacted, and then burst into laughter: "It seems that this girl has won the heart of the little steward of Danqing, and the little steward of Danqing has hurt his face like this and personally sent this girl here, and now she has given her such a good slave name as Qing Kite, which makes me embarrassed to be in charge of the slave!" After all, the names in my house are all orchid chaffinchs or something, and suddenly there are multiple slave names green kites, which is really frightening! ”

"Sister-in-law Liu said she was laughing!" Danqing kept smiling unchanged, but there was obviously a hint of suppression in his smile, "It's just a name, it's okay if she's just a slave." But you and I are both from Helian Mansion, so we should do our part. This girl was ordered by the master to send me, I must do it, I don't want to talk about what is valued or not, but this girl has a special identity, if she has a bad pool, I am afraid that you and I will die. ”

The words were successfully exchanged for a smile on the corner of Liu's mouth.

After a while, he approached Danqing, lowered his voice and said: "Little housekeeper, you know that Sanniang is the most cautious on weekdays, since this time it is the order of the Taishi, Sanniang naturally wants to offer this girl as a bodhisattva, and it is impossible for her to have any mistakes, if the little butler does not believe it, he can also supervise it himself......"

"Stop!"

Before Liu Sanniang finished speaking, Danqing interrupted her words and took a step back: "Sister-in-law Liu is afraid that she is thinking too much, I only said that she can't have a bad pool, and I didn't say that I want to worship her as a bodhisattva, you are an old man in the house, you naturally know how to do things, so I don't need to find out about this matter." ”

At this point, Liu Sanniang suddenly woke up, nodded again and again, and said, "Understood...... Got it! ”

Ye Lingyi was on the side, looking at the way the two of them spoke dumbly, and only felt that his scalp was numb.

And Danqing, who had just finished talking to Liu Sanniang, seemed to be ready to leave at this time, glanced at her, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Okay, my task is also completed, and then you will follow Aunt Liu!" ”

"Oh!" Ye Lingyi nodded stunned, and responded to him.

I don't want such a simple word to attract Liu Sanniang's eyes.

Ye Lingyi did not know the situation.

It wasn't until she saw Danqing walk out of the courtyard of the slave that Liu Sanniang glanced at her, and said angrily: "What's the matter with you girl?" Danqing steward is the chief steward in the young master's room, and the grade can be above you and me, and when he talks to you, you are not only rude, but also so perfunctory...... I've heard that you've been in the house for a few days, so why hasn't anyone taught you etiquette? ”

Faced with Liu Sanniang's question, Ye Lingyi shook her head bluntly.

Liu Sanniang was angry because of this, stretched out her finger and was about to poke Ye Lingyi's head to count it, when she suddenly remembered something, and suppressed the anger that rushed above her head.

Then a strange smile appeared on the face that was still charming, and "good voice" said to Ye Lingyi: "The young kite girl just came, presumably she hasn't packed her bags yet, right?" In that case, let's just wait a little longer, why don't you familiarize yourself with this small courtyard first? ”

Ye Lingyi didn't see Liu Sanniang's actions just now, but she just heard her tone was very strange, so she turned her head and looked at Liu Sanniang in wonder, thinking that this woman was not frightened by what Danqing just said? Why is the tone of speech suddenly so attentive?

Liu Sanniang, a woman, is also an old ginger, and in the face of the girl's deeply inquiring gaze, her face remained "gentle" silently.

Ye Lingyi didn't care too much, turned around and strode into the Chase bunk bedroom of the slave girls.

The room was still filled with a strong musty smell and a loud noise.

Ye Lingyi couldn't help frowning, and waved it in front of her nose with one hand.

At that time, Liu Sanniang behind her also walked in with a soft waist, and said with a smile on her face: "The green kite girl was arranged into the slave room as soon as she entered the house, and now I am afraid that she has long been used to living there, and she suddenly came to us at this time, I am afraid that she will have to be wronged for a while." ”

These words sounded like good words, but there was a bit of sarcasm in them, and Ye Lingyi could still weigh them.

But when she first arrived, it was really hard for her to raise the bar with this woman.

Yes, after turning left and right without purpose, when Liu Sanniang was defenseless, Ye Lingyi suddenly turned around, and said with a smile in her eyes and an ambiguous expression: "I look at the situation in the courtyard just now, does Sister-in-law Liu like Danqing's little steward?" ”

Liu Sanniang was stunned for a while, and then came back to her senses, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "What is the green kite girl talking about so headless and brainless?" Although my sister-in-law Liu is just a rough subordinate, she also knows that she abides by women's morality, and I don't know what kind of grudge the girl has against me. ”

Reputation?

Ye Lingyi raised her eyebrows and smiled, thinking that just now in the courtyard, a fool could see that this woman really wanted to eat Danqing with her eyes, and now she was pretending to be clean and self-conscious in front of her, as if she had misunderstood, and the thickness of her cheekiness was really surprising.

However, Ye Lingyi naturally couldn't control the affairs of others.

Seeing that Liu Sanniang by the door shook the handkerchief in her hand and looked a little displeased, Ye Lingyi suddenly approached with a sophisticated smile, learning to see the slave maid saluting a few days ago, and was stunned to make a four-like salute to Liu Sanniang, and deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Ah, it's my stupid mouth that offended Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu has a lot, don't be like me, a village girl, otherwise if my sister-in-law is so good-looking because I frowned, wouldn't I be too guilty?" ”

After some of the words came out, Ye Lingyi stood beside Aunt Liu and smiled earnestly, her sleek and treacherous appearance was like an old woman who had been in the deep court for many years, and she couldn't see the shadow of modern people at all.

Liu Sanniang was still a little unhappy, and when she heard the girl praise her for her good skin, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "You mean I'm so good-looking?" ”

Ye Lingyi squinted her eyes and smiled, and nodded very disobediently.

Liu Sanniang was complacent for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and sighed and felt sorry for herself: "Hey, it is said that the red face and jade face are as thin as paper, and what is the use of a good-looking face?" Poor young and frivolous, married an unsuccessful thing early, and now there is no place to live, it is still the little housekeeper in the young master's room, you look at the young man not only born with a good skin, he is already serving in front of the master at a young age, and the future is unlimited, plus the young master is so fanciful, if he marries one day, maybe he can get a single-family house......"

Speaking of this, Liu Sanniang's voice stopped abruptly, and her expression seemed to reflect that she had said something she shouldn't have said.

Looking at the thin girl beside her, Liu Sanniang saw that her big black eyes were shining with a bright luster, looking innocent and pitiful, and anyone who saw it would be soft-hearted.

Liu Sanniang has been in the deep courtyard for a long time, and she has seen a lot of deceitful things, and now the more the girl behaves pitifully in front of her, the more she feels that the girl is like a cunning fox with bad intentions.

However, the words she said were like water spilled out, and Liu Sanniang's few words had already exposed her thoughts.

Ye Lingyi is a smart person, knowing that Liu Sanniang is the manager of this hospital, and she is a newcomer, although she is not interested in Liu Sanniang's handle, but in the future, everyone needs to work together in the same place, and it is naturally convenient to act with the handle in hand.

Just thought about it, after all, he is a newcomer, Liu Sanniang is the party in power, holding Liu Sanniang's handle is not necessarily a good thing, and no one believes in the words spoken by white teeth, Liu Sanniang is to mobilize the slaves, everyone can drown her with a mouthful of spittle, so can the future be better?

Ye Lingyi thought about it, and finally smiled: "Sister-in-law Liu is afraid that she is joking, right?" Is the little steward really that powerful? I don't think so! Didn't you see the wound on his face? If the master values it, how can it be beaten like that? Besides, with his old-fashioned personality, who would like him? ”

Ye Lingyi deliberately put on a very familiar appearance.

Liu Sanniang raised her eyes and looked at the girl's appearance, but she didn't notice the clue, so she reluctantly laughed and said: "The girl's mouth is really powerful, but you need to pay attention to it in the future, Danqing's little steward is also the person in front of the young master, and it is a big crime to chew his tongue behind his back!" ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Ye Lingyi hurriedly responded, with a casual look on his face.

It was getting dark, and the sky suddenly began to rain lightly.

After a simple cleanup, Ye Lingyi officially joined the ranks of slaves.

However, at that time, she did not understand what the slave did, and even thought that she should be like those people she had seen, either she would send this and that with a ball of fabric, or she would take a hoe to loosen the soil for the flowers and plants in the yard, or if it was not good, she would nest in front of the stove and burn the fire.

Although it is all manual work, it is certainly not difficult for her to be a modern person.

But who would have thought that after dinner, Sister-in-law Liu indisputably ordered her to fetch water and fill the tank?

Ye Lingyi was really shocked, and never expected that the punishment drama that appeared in the Qing palace drama would happen to her.

Of course, she also begged Liu Sanniang, and asked her to change her errand with kind words, after all, our body has small arms and legs, plus the two big water tanks in the kitchen of Helian Mansion are each enough to accommodate five or six big fat people, how can she have the strength to fill it?

When the time comes, if you can't complete the task, what punishment will you receive, and how can this weak body withstand it?

Ye Lingyi secretly made up for the punishment in her own mind, and couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for herself.

But when she got to Liu Sanniang, she only replied to her for one reason: there is really no way, the newcomer filling the water tank was originally a tacit understanding between the slaves, although she is the yard steward, she can't take the lead in breaking the rules, if you can't complete it, you will get fifty boards.

As soon as Ye Lingyi heard this, she immediately thought of this trouble, could she only escape to avoid the heavy physical work of fetching water, which could crush her without much effort?

Ye Lingyi didn't know how long he would stay in this ghost place, Helian Mansion was heavily guarded like an iron bucket with tight seams on all sides, it was really easy to get wings in and couldn't escape.

If you can only stay under this strange roof, you will naturally have to bow your head and listen to others.
