Chapter 124: Repayment?
"Repay?" Yulan laughed in a low voice as if she had heard some funny joke, but soon the smile disappeared from her face cleanly, and instead stared at the few maids in front of her fiercely, and said, "Do you think I will believe that the person who was scolding me a moment ago will repay me in the blink of an eye?" The person you scolded is me, if it is not known by Madame, then what is the point of you chewing the root of your tongue? I'll go back to Madame. ”
After finishing speaking, she was about to turn around and walk towards Zhuo's room, several maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they had to reach out and grab her sleeves, with obvious crying in their voices, begging for mercy: "Sister, we are really wrong, spare us!" We are jealous that Madame gave you a pair of bracelets, so we are talking nonsense. ”
If Yulan is allowed to run to Madame's room and sue them like this, then they will have no way to live, they will definitely be beaten by Madame, and then driven out of the Hou Mansion, and then they will not even have a livelihood, and they will only have to beg along the streets.
Yulan is now a celebrity in front of Mrs. Madame's eyes, just look at the scene this morning, so as long as Yulan goes to sue, they will definitely die.
Yulan also guessed that the reason why they chewed the root of their tongues behind their backs was because of this pair of bracelets, they were all the same maids, and they suddenly received preferential treatment from their masters, of course they would be dissatisfied, and even talk nonsense behind their backs because of the jealousy in their hearts.
She stopped, shook off the pull of these little maids, and said with a sneer: "You don't want to do your best for your master, but you are jealous of the little thing I got, if you have the ability, you will also do something for the master, instead of slandering others here." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The little maids dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they had to lower their heads, no matter what Yulan said, they all whispered yes, and they didn't dare to say anything again.
Yulan snorted coldly and said, "I'll spare you this time, if I catch you chewing your tongue behind your back again, I will definitely tell Madame this time, and let Madame drive you out of the house together!" ”
The little maids were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you Sister Yulan, thank you sister, we don't dare anymore." ”
Magnolia glared at them and said, "No next time is the best, but if I catch you next time, you will know the result." Okay, what are you doing here? You don't have to work, do you? Is it because the space is idle, so you chew the root of your tongue? ”
Seeing that Yulan was about to get angry again, the little maid hurriedly dispersed like a bird and beast, and began to do her own work with things, and never dared to get together again.
Yulan saw that they were still acquaintances, and she didn't scold any more, she had to hurry to the small kitchen, otherwise Madame would probably be angry after a while. Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and walked towards the small kitchen.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, Magnolia walked out carrying two delicate food boxes, and she walked briskly to Zhuo's room, and finally entered the room when Zhuo couldn't bear it anymore, and placed the food boxes on the table.
"Why is it so slow?" Zhuo Shi was a little dissatisfied, he couldn't wait, and he almost had to go to the small kitchen to find it.
Yulan gasped, and finally calmed her breath a little, before she spoke: "Madame, forgive me, in the small kitchen, the cook delayed some time when loading things. ”
Zhuo Shi waved his hand, motioning for her to stop talking. It's not too long, and she can understand that she should be in a hurry when she suddenly asks the cook to pack up breakfast.
Yulan couldn't hold what Zhuo meant, so she hurriedly persuaded diligently: "Madame, do you want to see if the food in this food box is in line with the appetite of Madame and the young master?" ”
Zhuo nodded, fortunately Yulan reminded her, otherwise if she brought the food that Jiang Xiu didn't like, I was afraid that she would be scolded by him again.
At her signal, Magnolia lifted the lid of the food box and pushed both food boxes in front of Zhuo's family. Zhuo Shi carefully looked at the dishes in the food box, and saw that there was a large bowl of lotus leaf porridge inside, and the plate next to it was filled with golden pancakes, exuding an attractive fragrance. The other box is filled with cool and delicious side dishes, from green vegetables to white and tender tofu, and red peanuts, which look very appealing to the appetite.
Zhuo Shi nodded with satisfaction, this kind of dish will even feel delicious after watching it, let alone Jiang Xiu? I'm sure he'll love it too. Thinking of this, she buckled the lid of the box, and then motioned for Yulan to lift the box, followed behind her, and the two of them walked out of the door together.
She took Yulan and quickly arrived at Jiang Xiu's study. In his study there was an inner room in which one could rest. After Zhuo's family knew that what happened to Cui Ping, Jiang Xiu was definitely reluctant to go into that courtyard, because everything that had happened inside reminded him that he had been deceived by a woman.
And he didn't appear in his room, so Zhuo Shi was sure that he was staying in the study to rest, so she led someone directly to the study.
Jiang Xiu's little servant was sitting at the door of the study dozing, and heard a sound of footsteps not far away, he opened his eyes in a daze, but saw the figure of Zhuo's with the maid walking quickly, he was full of excitement, and then quickly stood up, ran towards the Zhuo family, and asked with a smile: "Madame is here to find the master?" But he was still sleeping. ”
Zhuo Shi took a step back without a trace, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, it was Yulan who first noticed Zhuo's strangeness, so he hurriedly said to the little servant: "Hurry up and wipe the saliva on your face, is this how you serve Madame?" ”
The little servant hurriedly wiped it twice with his sleeve, and kept saying, "Madame, please forgive me, it's all the slave's poor service." ”
Zhuo Shi waved her hand, even if she didn't care about these things, she glanced at the door of the study, and then said softly: "Usually at this time, the master should have gotten up a long time ago, why haven't you gotten up until now?" Isn't it true that the master has already gone out and left you in the house, right? ”
The little guy waved his hand again and again, indicating that there would never be this possibility, and then he explained: "Actually, the master slept a little late last night, and when the slave saw the third watch, the master was still pacing inside!" ”
Zhuo raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely strange about Jiang Xiu's behavior. According to normal times, although Jiang Xiu is not a little motivated, but there is no time when he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, could it be that something happened last night that made Jiang Xiu uneasy?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly approached the little girl's side and asked, "Have you been following the master yesterday?" Any idea of something strange going on? ”
The little maid touched his chin and thought carefully for a long time before he spoke: "Yesterday, the slave has been following the master, and nothing strange happened, and the master has not seen anyone. After returning from the palace, the young master only saw Cui Ping, but he quickly sent her away, and did not entangle with her at all, and then the young master stayed in the room all the time, did not go anywhere, and even the dinner was brought in by the slave. ”
Zhuo Shi became more and more confused about what Jiang Xiu was doing in the study, she wanted to go up and knock on the door and wake Jiang Xiu up directly, but Yulan grabbed her clothes from behind, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Madam, if you wake up the young master so rashly, maybe the young master will be angry." ”
Hearing this, a trace of struggle also appeared between Zhuo's eyebrows, and she stood in a dilemma, not knowing what to do. If you take the risk of going up and knocking on the door, you can wake up Jiang Xiu, but maybe it will directly anger Jiang Xiu and make him even more disgusted with himself, she originally came to please Jiang Xiu, and this result is simply contrary to her expectations.
But if they didn't wake him up, would they just stand here and wait? When will you go?
Zhuo Shi was hesitant in advancing and retreating, but she quickly made up her mind, wait for a while, if there was no movement in the study after two quarters of an hour, then she would come forward and knock on the door, even if Jiang Xiu was dissatisfied with herself, she would admit it.
Thinking of this, she motioned to the maid to help her bring a stool, and she sat at the door of Jiang Xiu's study, waiting for Jiang Xiu to appear.
Time ticked by, and soon more than half of the two quarters of an hour had passed, and the morning sun had also risen, shining on Zhuo's face, making her face feel a hot pain.
While covering her face with a handkerchief, for fear that sweat would blur her makeup, she stared at the door of Jiang Xiu's study, not knowing why Jiang Xiu hadn't come out yet, she was a little suspicious that Jiang Xiu had actually woken up a long time ago, but when she saw her outside the door, she didn't want to come out to face herself at all.
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Zhuo's heart was annoyed, he was so excited and happy when he went to see Cui Ping, and after seeing himself, he had an expression of seeing garbage, which was really insulting.
Didn't he want to see himself? Then she just can't let him get her wish, whether it will anger Jiang Xiu or not today, she has entered the door of this study.
She is also the young lady in this Hou Mansion, naturally there is no place where she can't go, even if Jiang Xiu wants to punish herself, she has to find a name, right?
As soon as the time of two quarters of an hour was up, Yulan leaned over Zhuo's ear and said, "Madam, the time has come. ”
Zhuo nodded, took a deep breath, stood up, and strode towards the door of the study. Jiang Xiu's little servant saw that the situation was developing in a bad direction, and hurriedly stopped in front of Zhuo's family and said, "Madam, the young master is sleeping, you better come back another day!" Or maybe come back later. ”
