Chapter Thirty-Nine: Humiliation of Humble Origin
"Then I won't be polite to Sister Ye, this kid is really well-behaved, listening to a few of us chattering here for so long, he won't make a fuss, I'll hug him." Liu Yiyi handed the long shirt to Cai Wei, who was standing behind her, and then walked in front of Ye Wanqiu.
Ye Wanqiu didn't really want to give the child to Liu Yiyi in her heart, but in front of so many servants, Liu Yiyi was also the second lady, and she was higher than her in terms of seniority, so she could only hand the child to Liu Yiyi, and her heart was hanging in the air.
Liu Yiyi took the child in Ye Wanqiu's arms, looking at Ye Wanqiu's cautious appearance, is it possible that I can still drop him, no matter how I said it, I gave birth to two children earlier than her, and I am much more experienced than her in holding the baby, Liu Yiyi pouted a little disdainfully.
"Oh, Sister Ye, you are blessed, you gave birth to such a cute white doll, how fair-skinned and lovely, as soon as I see such a small doll, I am very rare."
Liu Yiyi looked at the child in her arms, she looked really good, but she was also the child who snatched the favor of the two young ladies she gave birth to, she thought, her eyes unconsciously became cold, and the child in her arms suddenly cried when she saw the strange eyes, Liu Yiyi saw this, and gently pinched the child's face with her jade hand, "This child, I'm not a tiger, why are you crying!" Unexpectedly, the child was pinched all of a sudden, crying louder, and Ye Wanqiu's whole heart was pulled up by the child's crying.
"Second lady, let's hold the child, maybe the child is hungry, look for the third lady!" Yan'er walked in front of Liu Yiyi, and regardless of whether Liu Yiyi let go or not, she just hugged the young general back.
"Yan'er, you little bitch who is neither big nor small, what do you mean by this, I just touched this child gently, what do you mean by hugging the past! It's like I'm torturing this child! Sister Ye, you should take care of the people in your Zhiqiu Courtyard, and don't take me in your eyes at all! Fortunately, I know Sister Ye's personality, this uninformed outsider, I thought it was instigated by the master. ”
Liu Yiyi frowned, her eyes were slightly on fire, looking at Yan'er, she really wanted to slap her if she went up, but today the general is in the ancestral hall, she thinks about it, forget it, don't make a big deal about it, when the time comes, it will be herself who will suffer, if she encounters Yan'er next time, she will definitely let her not eat and walk around.
"Yan'er, what's the matter with you, now you're getting bolder and bolder, this Sister Liu hugs the child, tease the child, why are you so nervous, is it possible that Sister Liu will become a tiger and eat the child, you are becoming more and more ignorant now, I have to punish you well next time I go back to Zhiqiu Courtyard, and apologize to Sister Liu!"
Ye Wanqiu took the child in Yan'er's hand and glanced at her, Yan'er walked to Liu Yiyi with a red face and red eyes, and knelt down towards Liu Yiyi, "Second lady, Yan'er was wrong today, I saw the young general crying for a while, I was afraid that the second lady would be irritable when she heard the cry, so I was anxious to bring the child over, and asked the second lady to have a large number of them, spare Yan'er once." ”
"Yan'er, I will spare you for the sake of Sister Ye today, you, a little hairy child, do things recklessly, don't rely on being Sister Ye's personal servant, you feel that your status is superior, no matter what, you are still a subordinate of the General's Mansion, but a little higher than the most inferior subordinate, whether it is an inferior subordinate, a superior subordinate, in the final analysis, it is still a subordinate and a slave!"
Liu Yiyi looked at Yan'er's increasingly red eyes, and couldn't help sneering, "You have to be careful and cautious in doing things in the future, Sister Ye has always been a bodhisattva, you servants are not big or small, Sister Ye will turn a blind eye, and if there is a big mistake in the future, the general will blame it, Sister Su, I can't get out of it with your master, Sister Ye can't discipline you, I have to discipline you well in the future!" Sister Ye, are you okay?" Liu Yiyi looked at Ye Wanqiu with a wicked smile, this maid is an ignorant person, listen to how this master answers.
"Sister Liu is willing to discipline the maids of Zhiqiu Courtyard for me, that's the best, I just gave birth to a child not long ago, and I'm not good at disciplining people, these slaves and maids are lazy, Sister Liu also took out a hundred busy time to help me discipline, Sister Ye, I'm here, I have to thank Sister Liu first, Yan'er, what are you still kneeling for, do you want to be lazy, don't even hug the child, look at me, just gave birth to a child, this hug for a while The child has a sore back, Yan'er, you haven't heard it yet, get up and hold the child!"
Ye Wanqiu saw Yan'er kneeling there motionless, and couldn't help but raise her voice, Yan'er was confused by Liu Yiyi's humiliation and threat, and was suddenly called by the third lady, hit a spirit, hurriedly waved the handkerchief to her shoulder, saluted Liu Yiyi, hurriedly stood up, ran to Ye Wanqiu's side and hugged the child, since she went to Zhiqiu Courtyard to be a maid, the third lady of Zhiqiu Courtyard never let the maids kneel, today I knelt like this, I really feel a little pain in my knees.
"Sister Liu, I think you are too energetic, you have a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in this Xueliu Courtyard, how can you have time to help Sister Ye discipline the girl, I think you are more and more good at laughing, you, as soon as you have time, I can't wait to go to Chang'an Street every day! You, let's dissipate your anger today, what are you competing with a servant, today is a good day for Sister Ye, the general is still in the ancestral hall, don't disturb the general with this little thing, I look at this hour is almost over, I estimate that the general will have to send someone to inform us immediately. ”
Su Mengli laughed, stepped down from the upper seat, patted Liu Yiyi's shoulder, pulled her back to her seat, and handed her a cup of tea with her own hands.
Liu Yiyi took Su Mengli's tea, this Su Mengli, an old fox, this is clearly speaking for Ye Wanqiu, thinking so in her heart, but her face is also smiling, "Oh, Sister Su, you still know me, how can I have time to clean up these ignorant things, I still have a lot of things in Xueliuyuan, it's just that I am reminding Sister Ye that I have to discipline and discipline well, these servants in the province can't even distinguish between priority and priority in their eyes, there are no rules at all, and today's general is rarely happy, I don't need to be angry here for such a trivial matter, it's not worth it for a subordinate. ”
Liu Yiyi took a sip of tea, glanced at the cigarette holding the child, that cigarette, hearing her words, bit her lip lightly, as if she was about to cry, hum, this cigarette, it seems that the experience is not enough, the background is humble, the servant is a servant, and the self-esteem is still quite strong! If you want to blame, she can only blame her own background, a little girl, relying on herself to be the personal servant of the third lady, lawless.
"The eldest lady, the second lady, the third lady, the general has finished the front salute in the ancestral hall, and now please ask a few ladies and the young general to go to the auditorium to perform the second salute together." Qinglong walked into the door of the wing room, and saw the three ladies sitting inside, not talking to each other, the atmosphere was quite embarrassing, he hurriedly stepped forward, and reported to them with his hands and fists.
Qinglong's arm was dripping red with candle oil, he had just finished rinsing it from the back kitchen of the ear room, bandaged it briefly, and when he returned to the ancestral hall, he saw the general leading Chihu and Guo Yan and others into the auditorium of the ancestral hall, the general asked him where he went, he could only say a vague word to go out of Gong, and saw that the general did not suspect it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Qinglong accompanied the general to the auditorium of the ancestral hall to perform the pre-salute, and the general sent him to the wing room to deliver the message, and he hurried to inform the ladies and the young general.
"This is really, Cao Cao Cao will arrive, no, I just said that the general sent someone to come, this Qinglong is here, Sister Liu, Sister Ye, let's not talk here non-stop, the general is still waiting for us, let's go quickly." After Su Mengli finished speaking, she led Xiangming in front, Liu Yiyi led Cai Wei, Ye Wanqiu led Yan'er and Yan'er, and the group walked out of the wing room and walked towards the auditorium of the ancestral hall.
Mo Lin looked at the ladies who walked in, and hurriedly greeted him, took the child in Yan'er's hand, and the three ladies lined up on both sides of the general in turn, Mo Lin walked to the tablet with the child in his arms, and the officiant shouted in a loud voice, "General Mo Lin and his heirs, one worships the Son of Heaven of the imperial court, the second worships the Tai General, Mrs. Tai, and the third worship of the old general, the old lady, may the Son of Heaven and the ancestors bless you, and the Mo General's Mansion will always be prosperous and prosperous, and the descendants will continue to pass on the torch and prosper." ”
Mo Lin held the child in his arms, bowed three times to the tablet on the altar, and then raised his head and said, "The emperor's grace is vast, today General Mo's mansion is so prosperous and prosperous, and the people are prosperous, all thanks to the blessing of the emperor today, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
After Mo Lin finished the salute, the eldest lady Su Mengli, the second lady Liu Yiyi, and Ye Wanqiu all knelt on the worship mat and kowtowed under the call of the officiant, and then the ceremony was finished.
After the officiant said "the ceremony is over", today's ancestral hall sacrifice ceremony is completely over, Mo Lin hugged the child, Su Mengli, Liu Yiyi and Ye Wanqiu and other people followed behind, and when they came out of the ancestral hall, Mo Lin turned around and said to everyone, "Last night, the third lady gave birth to a child for the general's mansion, this is a great joy, this afternoon the whole general's mansion has a great reward, especially the smoke, today I entered the ancestral hall, I can't smell the choking smoke in the past, I went in to see, every candlestick is covered with a cover, No one thought of this method in the past, I was choked every time I sacrificed before, it seems that I asked Yan'er to be in charge of the sacrificial ceremony today, it is really a wise decision, Guo Yan, the reward meeting in the afternoon, Yan'er girl, you can get a big reward, hahaha. ”
"Yan'er, why don't you go and thank the general, what are you doing here!" Ye Wanqiu turned her head and gently reminded Yan'er, this Yan'er, after being reprimanded by Liu Yiyi, lost her soul-like thoughts, and along the way, her mind didn't know where she went.
"Thank you, general, this is all the slave's business, the general loves the slave and the maid." Yan'er stepped forward, waved his handkerchief, and blessed General Molin.
Qinglong saw Yan'er with his head slightly bowed, this general wanted to reward her, and the general would be ecstatic, this Yan'er, but he didn't feel too happy, why did her eyes still be a little red, could it be that he was dazzled and wrong?
