Chapter 23: The Foolish Master
Han Shuangshuang immediately got up and stood behind Xian Chen, Su's mother walked out of the door, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl timidly probing her brain outside the moon gate, looking around.
"Little girl, who are you looking for?" Su's mother came to the little girl's side, and Xian Chen and Han Shuangshuang also followed out of the room.
The little girl saw Xianchen come out, her bright eyes looked at her exploringly, this little girl Xianchen remembered, she was the little girl who followed Aunt Zhuang all the way and held Aunt Zhuang's hand, presumably this is her third sister.
The little girl was dressed in pink, her pretty face had not yet opened like a budding Xia He, with two balls on her head in a playful and cute bun, flashing with big watery eyes, a small hand clasped her lower lip, tilting her head and staring curiously at Xian Chen.
The little girl looked at Xianchen curiously, and Xianchen also looked at her curiously, this little girl's eyebrows showed a little softness similar to Aunt Zhuang's, but there was no shadow of Ran Yune, which made Xianchen like it very much.
The people in Ran Mansion are all human spirits, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and Xianchen didn't dare not be wary in front of this little girl, and she showed that Erha-like honest appearance again, "Little sister, do you eat cakes?" Slim Dust handed a piece of cake in his hand to the little girl.
The little girl looked at the cake in Xian Chen's hand, in fact, she wanted to eat it but didn't dare to take it, her little mouth moved and swallowed her saliva, looked at the cake and shook her head, "Mother said, you can't eat what others give." ”
Xian Chen and Su's mother looked at each other and didn't say much, and Han Shuangshuang saw that neither of them spoke, so naturally he didn't speak.
Xian Chen knows that this is someone else's mother who teaches her well, isn't it that the things in this house can't be eaten casually? Yao's father is a judge of the Tai Hospital, and Yao's daughter has a deep grandfather's true inheritance, in this mansion, if you can't control your mouth, you don't know how she died when the time comes.
She didn't eat, and Xianchen was not reluctant, so she asked, "Little sister, are you here to find me?" ”
The little girl nodded, her head tilted back and forth and stared at Xian Chen.
"Are you looking for me?" Xianchen asked again, and immediately ate the plum blossom cake by himself, letting the child stare at him casually.
The little girl saw that Xianchen was eating sweetly, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, Xianchen saw that she was really hungry and wanted to eat, so she handed her the plum blossom cake in her other hand, the little girl still shook her head, and asked cowardly: "Are you really my sister-in-law?" ”
"Hmm." Xian Chen was serious and nodded innocently.
The little girl tilted her little head and asked suspiciously, "Then why are you different from Sister Jacaranda?" ”
"What's the difference?" Xianchen asked.
The little girl didn't answer and asked, "Why does my sister live in this yard, and why are her clothes dirtier than mine?" ”
Burst......
This is because I think my clothes are too dirty, and Xianchen spewed out a mouthful of cake stars, "I came from a far, far away place, and I didn't have time to take a shower and change clothes after a long journey, and when my sister took a shower and changed her clothes, my sister's clothes will not be dirty." ”
The little girl nodded thoughtfully.
Xianchen smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me if I'm so ugly?" ”
The little girl shook her head again, "Don't be afraid, you're not fierce!" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away, which made Su's mother and Han Shuangshuang feel that this girl was a little inexplicable.
Xianchen looked at the back of the little girl running away, and a light smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, "It's okay, that little girl came by herself, she was just curious about me and came to see me."
So that's the case, Su's mother and Han Shuangshuang were both relieved.
After the full moon and the lack of the moon boiled six buckets of boiling water and carefully carried them into Slim Dust's room, Slim Dust instructed them to bring cold water to mix the temperature of the bath water.
Dust's yard is remote, not close to the kitchen and the place to fetch water, and the two girls are already exhausted and panting after mixing Slim Dust's bath water.
But that's not the end of it.
After taking a bath, Xianchen instructed the two girls to clean the bucket and then fetch cold water to make the bath water for Su's mother.
The two girls didn't do it at first, and emphasized, "Miss, Madame sent us to wait for you, and we don't wait for your subordinates." ”
"Who said that Mother Su is a descendant of Ran Mansion, she is my relative, she is the same as me is the master of this courtyard, if you two don't want to wait, go back, I don't need you to wait here, it seems that my mother is just tricking me, saying that I am the master and you will do whatever you want, it is all a lie, I will go and tell my mother, you are disobedient."
As soon as the two girls heard that Xianchen was going to go to Yao's to complain, and they were going to return them, they were anxious, before coming to this courtyard, Yao's repeatedly told them to find a way to stay in this courtyard no matter what, to gain Xianchen's trust, if they were retreated before entering this courtyard, would Mrs. still use them again in the future?
Obviously not, Mrs. will definitely think that they are useless, and they can't even do this little thing well, the two girls are busy making apologies to Xianchen, "Miss, don't be angry, it's all the servants who are not sensible, let's go and get the bath water for Mother Su now." ”
Mixed the bath water for Su's mother, and Xianchen instructed the two girls to mix the bath water for Han Shuangshuang, and the two girls of Yue Yuan and Yue Que waited for the bath water of three people in a row.
They ran from the yard to the kitchen to fetch water and then from the kitchen back to the yard, back and forth I don't know how many times they ran back and forth, and by the time Han Shuangshuang finished taking a bath, they were already so tired that they were out of breath when they cleaned up the bathtub.
The full moon and the lack of the moon are the big girls around Yao's side, and what they do on weekdays is the light work of serving tea and water, pruning flowers and pruning, where will they do this kind of rough work done by subordinates?
Today they not only did but also did a lot, so tired that the two girls were already back pain and leg cramps, and before they could rest for a while to relieve their breath, Xianchen told them to wash their clothes.
The full moon and the lack of the moon were so tired that they had to move the Yao family out, "Miss, the work of washing clothes is done by rough maids, we are the big maids next to Madame, and we don't do these rough jobs." ”
They thought to themselves, who would dare to call the big girl next to Madame? The old lady can't call the big girl next to the lady, miss, you won't ask us to do rough work anymore for the sake of the lady, right?
She didn't understand what the big girl was, and asked, "Isn't the big girl a maid?" ”
"Yes." The full moon replied respectfully.
"That's not it, they're all maids, so why can't you do the laundry? If you don't wash it, go back, I don't want a maid in my yard who can't even wash clothes. ”
Looking at the silly appearance of Xianchen Erha, it doesn't seem like he is deliberately making things difficult for them, which makes Yue Yuan and Yue Que not know how to reason with Xian Chen.
Yue Que felt that she was very aggrieved, and couldn't help but want to reason with Xian Chen, but before she opened her mouth, Yue Yuan pulled her, and respectfully returned to Xian Chen: "Okay, Miss, let's go wash clothes." ”
Yue Que Xing's eyes were round, Sakura's mouth was wide open and looked at Yue Yuan in disbelief, and Yue Yuan gave Yue Que a look, and Yue Que followed Yue Yuan to wash the clothes that the three of them had changed.
Leaving the small courtyard, Yue Que couldn't help but ask: "Sister Yueyuan, what do you mean by this, why did we compromise like this?" ”
The full moon sighed helplessly.
"Hey, don't you see that yet? This eldest lady lacks roots in her brain, everything is straight in her mind, she doesn't understand what a big girl is at all, can you explain it to this kind of foolish reason? Besides, even if we sue Madame, will she speak for us as a lady? Have you forgotten what Madame told us? If we mess her up, she'll probably sell us to the 'glittering' place, would you like to go? ”
As soon as she heard the "bright lights" Yue Que felt a chill on her back, it was the most famous brothel and courtyard in Kyoto, she didn't want to go to that kind of place, and reluctantly left with the full moon.
Yue Que finally understood a truth, there is no reason to talk about the fool with a problem with her brain, she originally thought that she was a first-class big girl next to the eldest lady, just by virtue of her own identity, this eldest lady will treat herself well, but I didn't expect this eldest lady to lack a root in her brain, there is no difference between a big girl and a rough maid, Yue Que is very helpless, how can she be so sad to get such a job?
When dinner time was approaching, Yao's mother Rong came over to invite Xianchen.
"Miss, tonight, Mrs. specially arranged a reception banquet for the eldest lady, and the old lady specially came to invite the eldest lady to the banquet."
"Okay." Xian Chen responded to Rong's mother, holding Su's mother with one hand and Han Shuangshuang with the other, and took the two of them to the banquet with a smile.
"Ahem... Cough..."Mother Rong coughed lightly twice, "Mother Rong, are you uncomfortable in your throat?" Go see the doctor, we'll go ourselves. ”
Xianchen pretended not to understand what Rong's mother's light cough meant, and asked her to see the doctor in a humble manner.
Mother Rong immediately felt panicked, but the young lady lacked a root in her head, Mother Rong rolled her eyes at Xian Chen unabashedly, and said to Xian Chen with disgust: "Miss, this is the family banquet of the masters, and the subordinates are not allowed to participate." ”
"They are not the subordinates of the Ran Mansion, they did not sell themselves to the Ran Mansion, one of them is my family, and the other is a benefactor who has protected me all the way, how can they be subordinates?"
Xianchen's words made Rong's mother dumbfounded.
Rong's mother felt that she was a show today and met a soldier, and she couldn't explain it clearly, she knew that she wouldn't be convinced by a fool even if she broke her mouth today, because the brains of fools were different from their normal people.
Forget it, let her go first, and when she arrives at Yalan Academy, someone will naturally teach her the rules.
Mother Rong led the way in front with a bitter face like this, and Xian Chen happily took Mother Su and Han Shuangshuang's hands, followed behind Mother Rong, and walked towards the main hall Yalan Courtyard.
After Mother Rong took Xianchen and them away, both Yue Yuan and Yue Que sighed deeply.
Ay......!
Ay......!
Both of them sighed that this innocent lady couldn't be provoked, and even Rong's mother touched the ashes of her nose.
Yue Que sighed again, "Hey, Sister Yuequan, you said that it would be nice if the eldest lady was a normal person, at least she knows what a big girl is; At least she knows that if she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, for the sake of the lady's face, she will never be embarrassed to let us do those rough jobs! ”
Yue Yuan rubbed his sore arm, with a helpless expression, "Who said it wasn't?" You say this eldest lady, say she's stupid, she's not even counted, she still understands simple right and wrong; You say she's not stupid, she really lacks chords in her brain, and she is stunned to say anything, which is not sophisticated at all. ”
The two girls sighed in unison, "Alas, ......" sighed, such a foolish master, it is difficult to wait!
