Chapter 70: Reduced to a rough maid
Day 2.
Ke Xin'er seemed to really want to treat Ning Liuying as a rough maid, and instructed a few old women in the yard to go to the firewood room when it was just dawn, and woke up Ning Liuying with a roar.
"Slacker, don't get up yet! I don't even look at what time it is! Madame is still waiting for someone to serve, which maid in the inner courtyard dares to sleep until this time? What a lawlessness! ”
In such a loud voice of insults, Ning Liuying woke up and turned around.
She didn't dare to sleep on the firewood pile full of wooden thorns, so she could only rest in the corner, and Ke Xin'er didn't untie her when she left, so that she couldn't even turn over.
After sleeping like this all night, the bones have long been scattered.
"Yo, Miss, are you awake? If you can't do it again, my wife, I'm still worried that you will really sleep to death! Seeing that Ning Liuying opened her eyes, the old woman was sneering on the side.
Ning Liuying opened her dry chapped lips and asked very weakly, "Please...... Please untie the rope from my body......"
Her body was already weak, and her skin was extremely delicate, and after being tied up by this rough straw rope all night, some blood marks appeared on her delicate skin, which was very itchy and painful.
The old women took a cursory look at Ning Liuying's body, still standing in place and said indifferently: "Madame didn't say that she wanted to untie the rope for you, you are too lazy to get up in place, and you refuse to serve people, and Madame will come to treat you after a while!" ”
Ning Liuying frowned, feeling extremely ridiculous.
This Ke Xin'er wanted to call her as a rough maid, but she refused to even untie the rope, and wanted to call a group of old women to come to the firewood room to humiliate her, just to ask her to beg for help.
Now trapped in other people's turf, they have to compromise.
Ning Liuying had no choice but to bow her head and say, "If Mama doesn't untie the rope for me, how can I serve Madame for a while?" If the lady can't see me when she needs to be served, I'm afraid it'll be the grandmothers again. ”
Hearing this, the old women glanced at each other and sneered, "Little girl, you have fallen into this situation and you don't know how to say good things to others?" I really deserve to be locked up by my wife! ”
It's just ridicule and ridicule, what Ning Liuying said is indeed reasonable, Ke Xin'er just asked them to shout Ning Liuying to make things difficult for her by the way, but she didn't really say that she really didn't let Ning Liuying out of the firewood room.
Several old women thought about it, and still stepped forward to untie the straw rope on Ning Liuying's body.
As soon as the tight rope was loosened, Ning Liuying felt a lot lighter all over her body.
She let out a deep breath of cloudy air and slowly stood up against the wall.
Because she was poured too much cold water by Ke Xin'er yesterday, her weak body couldn't stand on her feet today, and her legs were trembling.
However, these old women didn't care whether Ning Liuying's body was shaking or not, and after letting go of the straw rope on her body, they pushed her out of the firewood room door and went to Ke Xin'er's yard.
"Hurry up, hurry up, and think that you are the eldest lady of the weak willow Fufeng? No one here will feel sorry for you! The way you go three times is annoying to look at! ”
Listening to the taunts and insults of the old women, Ning Liuying was silent all the way, and came to Ke Xin'er's yard under their very rough pushing.
"See, that room is the lady's room, hurry over and wait! Don't try to be lazy! A few old women pushed Ning Liuying into the yard vigorously, pointed out to her the house where Ke Xin'er was resting, and then walked out of the yard to do her own business.
Ning Liuying dragged her fragile body and staggered over.
She walked to the door of the house where Ke Xin'er was resting, and was about to push the door in, but the maid who was guarding the door suddenly stretched out her hand to stop her.
"Go, go, you can enter Madame's house as you like?" The maid looked at Ning Liuying with disgust, and her tone was very disgusted.
"This sister, my wife sent me to serve, how can I serve if I don't enter the house?" Ning Liuying pursed her pale lips and said in a good voice.
The maid was still indifferent, stretched out her hand to stop in front of Ning Liuying, and didn't even move her footsteps, "You don't look at how many days it is!" Mrs. Housekeeper has been working very hard for days, and I don't know how late I saw it when I lit the kerosene lamp and read the account book at night, and I can't rest for a while? ”
Ning Liuying really subconsciously glanced up at the sky.
When she was woken up by the group of old women, it was just dawn, and although it took a while to reach Ke Xin'er's yard, the sky still hadn't changed much, and the sun only poked out half of her head.
It seems that the time has not passed, and it is indeed very early.
Ning Liuying no longer insisted on entering Ke Xin'er's house, but if she didn't go in, where should she go?
"This sister, if I am not allowed to enter Madame's room, and Madame is still resting in it, where shall I go?"
The maid pointed directly to the field in the middle of the courtyard, and said casually, "Oh, you just stand there!" Standing there doesn't get in the way, just wait for Madame to wake up first! Look at what you look like, you don't deserve to stand with me! ”
Ning Liuying looked at the maid's dress, this Lin Mansion really does not treat the subordinates badly, even the maids' clothes are carefully embroidered, although it is not very luxurious, but it is clean and tidy, very comfortable.
In contrast, although the clothes she wore from the Zhennan Mansion were woven with gold and silver threads, they were dirty now, and because she was splashed with water by Ke Xin'er, there was an inexplicable sour smell all over her body, which was really unsightly.
Ning Liuying lowered her eyes a little gloomily and stood directly in the middle of the courtyard.
When it was three o'clock in the morning, there was some movement in Ke Xin'er's house.
"Someone!"
"Yes, ma'am." The maid who was guarding the door heard Ke Xin'er's voice, and hurriedly responded, and then pushed the door and walked in.
She retreated after just a while, and when she came out, she pointed directly to the house and shouted to Ning Liuying: "Hey, don't go in yet!" Madame called you! Don't delay! ”
When Ning Liuying heard this, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped into the house.
As soon as she walked into the room, Ke Xin'er had already gotten up with a yawn.
She got up in her white underwear, and stared at Ning Liuying as soon as she saw her enter the door, "What are you still doing here?" As a lady, you can't do these subordinate work? ”
Ning Liuying knew that she would hear a lot of ridicule and sarcasm today, so she didn't speak, and went straight to the side shelf to take off her coat and change Ke Xin'er's clothes.
After changing clothes, Ning Liuying went to fetch hot water again, and stood aside and waited for Ke Xin'er to clean her face.
I don't know if Ke Xin'er didn't wake up or what, she didn't speak during the whole process of changing clothes and cleaning her face, and she didn't make things difficult for Ning Liuying at all.
Thinking of this, Ning Liuying just breathed a sigh of relief, and when she heard Ke Xin'er call her to serve and dress up, she hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the jade comb on the wooden table and combed Ke Xin'er's hair.
But before she thought about it, Ke Xin'er frowned and shouted.
