Xiangguo Mansion.

"Our young master has ordered, although Miss Chen is his maid, but all the applications are purchased according to the third-class maid, so this will be your house from now on."

The dilapidated house in front of me was overgrown with weeds, the walls were crumbling on all sides, and through the large hole in the roof, I could directly see the gray sky outside, and the four pillars of the roof were covered with holes knocked out by insects, and I buckled off a large piece with a light button of my hand.

"It's not easy for your Xiangguo Mansion to find a house like this, do all the third-class maids in your family live in such a dilapidated house?"

Lan Xiang, who is also a third-class maid like me, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Of course not, you are a special treatment." ”

Well, that's deliberately looking for fault with me.

"You will be working in the kitchen from now on, and you can't leave the kitchen without the young master's orders."

Su Molai is to change the law to take revenge on me.

I don't care, I was born in the kitchen by the chef, and I was raised in the kitchen, and the kitchen knives and boards are all my old friends.

"And, most importantly." Lan Xiang stretched out a finger and shook it in front of my eyes, "Our young master asked me to tell you that he doesn't want to see you again, and please respect yourself in the future." ”

It's not my style to be stubborn and stubborn under the eaves, not to mention that I can't do anything with her little girl, so I obediently responded and sent her out of the yard.

Lan Xiang walked to the gate of the courtyard and said in a voice that was not too small for me to hear: "I, whatever, dare to worry about our young master." ”

His young master is really a fragrant bait, but unfortunately chewing it is paraffin wax in my mouth, it has no taste and sticky teeth, if it weren't for my baby Neidan, he would be a fart.

I really hate myself for being greedy and easy to go down the mountain, being a man is much more difficult than being a chicken, there are too many people's hearts, and there is no simplicity of our fairy friends in the mountains.

None of the foxes in our mountains are as cunning as Su Molai, and I'm still too simple. For more than ten years, I have learned to eat and talk like a human being, but I can't learn to deceive mortals alone.

To tell the truth, I have been in the mountains for 500 years, and I can't live in the world for a year to see a lot.

Alas...

It's all Chen Muzi's fault, what did he tell me, instead of offending Su Molai, it is better to pull him as an ally. It's good now, not only did I have a feud with Su Molai, but I also put myself in the wolf's den.

Forget it, I don't want to worry about these bad things, let's get over the difficulties in front of me first.

I decided to clean up my yard simply, at least to be sheltered from the elements.

Princess Qi's order is to let me stay in Xiangguo's Mansion for as long as I can, and then she will go to Mrs. Xiangguo to lobby and ask their family to give me an explanation.

I don't see that Princess Naqi has no face in front of Mrs. Xiangguo, and I can't see the face of Su Molai's kid now, so I can only prepare for a long-term battle.

I looked around and saw that the house, though dilapidated, had a wide yard, and in the middle of it was a stout old locust tree, with its leafy branches and clusters of white buds.

After the flower buds of the locust tree are dried, they are called locust rice, which can cool the blood and stop bleeding, treat hemorrhoids and carbuncles, and is an excellent medicinal material.

But the locust tree is the ghost in the wood, and the feng shui master always says: There is a locust in front of the house, and a hundred ghosts walk at night. It means that the yin qi of the locust tree is too heavy, and it is easy to attract yin spirits when planted at home, which is a taboo in feng shui.

Others may talk about ghosts changing color, taboo is quite deep, but I'm not afraid, there will be ghosts if there are immortals, what's so strange, I used to have a few ghost friends, often get together to drink tea, the relationship is very good, now I have been reincarnated, I don't know how they are doing, and I still have some worries in my heart.

But...

The strange thing is why Xiangguofu planted such a tree in the yard. It stands to reason that people like them should be extraordinarily superstitious about Feng Shui.

I suspect that their family surnamed Su has a skull.

I walked around the locust tree, didn't find anything special, and walked around the yard.

The weeds in the yard were too tall to be seen, so I thought I had to clean them up first. But I didn't have any tools around me, so I could only squat on the ground and pull it out little by little, the texture of the grass was very tough, and I was accidentally scratched by it, and my hands were already scarred after a while.

Half of the weeds were cleared, and Lan Xiang came to call me, the little girl still looked like no one in her eyes with her nostrils facing the sky, tsk, how can their masters and subordinates be virtuous, and even the tone of the yin and yang weirdness is exactly the same.

"Miss Chen is almost resting, isn't it time to work now? Our Xiangguo Mansion does not feed idlers. ”

"I am a third-class maid with you, Sister Lanxiang should not call me Miss, just call me Fengming."

"Hmph, you know you don't deserve it."

I've seen too much of this kind of white eyes since I was a child, and now I don't take it to heart at all, my skin is thickened, and the awl can't be pierced.

"Not worthy, not worthy, I am neither a concubine nor a concubine in the Qiwang Mansion, my identity is not much higher than the maid in the family, and the actual situation is not even as good as an ordinary maid, my mother is the cook of the Qiwang Mansion, I grew up in the kitchen when I was a child, I am familiar with the work in the kitchen, and I can fry and fry everything."

"You're a miserable person, too." Lan Xiang glanced me up and down, and her face was not as ugly as it was just now.

"Yes, you can see my hands, pampered eldest lady, how can my hands be like mine."

I stretched out my hand that was full of wounds just now because of pulling weeds to Lan Xiang and showed her, "Sister Lan Xiang has to do any work for me, I have done all the dirty work since I was a child, alas, my life is really not good, my mother was just carried by the prince A few days after my aunt, I thought that my mother and I would be able to live a good life after that, but who would have thought that I was sent to Xiangguo Mansion again, and my mother didn't know what was going on in the palace." ”

"How did I hear that you would rather destroy your innocence than rely on my young master to enter the gate of our Xiangguo Mansion?"

I pretended to be surprised and said: "How can this reason be so unbearable, how dare I climb Su Gongzi, I am just ordered by the princess, I have to enter this Xiangguo Mansion, my life is up to me, why should I bother to be a maid in the house, and take the humiliation on myself..." If you are lucky, the master will take pity on you, and you may be able to marry a good family, but when you get to your husband's house, you don't have to listen to your in-laws..."

I hid my face and pretended to sob, but Lan Xiang held my hand and cried.

"It seems that I misunderstood you, so you have no choice but to do it!"

"It's not just that you misunderstood me, what other people think of me, I don't know in my heart anymore, even your young master, too... Alas, I shouldn't have told you this, but I feel very close to you, and I want to be closer to you inexplicably. ”

"There are rumors in the palace that you used subterfuge to get close to our prince, and then forced our prince to take you into the mansion, so at first I was very disgusted with you, but after meeting you, I found that you are actually quite reasonable, not as obedient as they say at all."

"Sister, I'm not afraid of your jokes, although a woman's marriage is the order of her parents, but I think it's okay, the twisted melon is not sweet, even if the other party is excellent, forcibly tying them together will not have a good result, if I choose my own husband, I must find someone who is in love with me, otherwise, no matter whether he is poor or rich, I will not wronged myself to marry him."

That's what I mean.

Unexpectedly, Lan Xiang hugged me excitedly and said, "Sister, you are really my bosom friend!" ”

I really admire myself, in half a day, I successfully made a little brother out of my mouth.

Lan Xiang led me in the direction of the kitchen, chirping and discussing her view of love with me along the way.

The little girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she is not completely scheming, but she is too emotional, and it is really not too easy to brainwash her.

Half an hour ago, he pointed his nostrils at me, and now he and I have begun to become sisters.

"Sister, don't look at me as just a third-class maid, my mother is Mrs. Xiangguo's dowry maid, Mrs. Xiangguo relies on my mother very much, but I don't want to make do with those nobles, and my mother doesn't want to. The first-class maids in the house have to stay in the mansion until they are twenty-five years old before they can marry, and the third-class maids are tired of doing rough work, so the young master stipulates that the third-class maids can go out of the house and marry themselves at the age of twenty. ”

"You don't want to be a first-class maid in order to get married early?"

Lan Xiang blushed and said angrily: "Sister, why did you say it so bluntly, I'm embarrassed." ”

The little girl is very cute when she is shy, and she makes me feel very happy.

"Then you're interested in someone?"

At the mention of "the person I like", Lan Xiang's face turned even redder, "I regard my sister as a confidant, so naturally I won't hide this from you, my cousin and I have been married since childhood, although it is a family affair set by the two parents, but we are both very happy." ”

Friendships between girls begin by confiding in each other's secrets, and I followed her words and asked, "What does your cousin do?" ”

"He originally taught in a private school, but later my mother gave him an errand in the official school in front of Mrs. Xiangguo." Lan Xiang's expression became sweet: "My cousin is well-educated, a good person, and excellent everywhere, but his family is a little more difficult, and there are no relatives in his family who can borrow strength, so he has been depressed. ”

Relying on the shadow of nepotism, women are okay, men, anyway, soft rice is not so delicious, either teeth, or stomach, after a long time, maybe you have to peel off the skin, but after peeling, scabs, rough skin, you will get used to it.

I hope that this cousin has passed the "scab" period, or sooner or later it will be a matter.

I tentatively asked, "Your cousin must be nice to you." ”

"My cousin couldn't be nicer to me, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to marry him despite the opposition of my family, but..."Lan Xiang continued a little disappointed: "Since he went to the official school as an errand, I have seen him less and less." ”

I comforted her casually: "Official learning is not better than private learning, academic studies are heavy, and academic and political affairs are busy, so he has no time to accompany you, and it is helpless, you don't have to go to your heart." ”

The students in the official school are all the children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and this group of people is generally just a name in the official school, and the main studies are taught separately at home by the family invited doctors and other academic officials.

Chen Muzi is an example, his so-called going to the official school is to go to a gambling house and a brothel or something, and I followed him to the pastime several times.

A small elementary school in an official school really doesn't have anything to be busy with.

I like this little girl Lan Xiang, so I don't want her to be deceived by anyone other than me, but it's useless to say more now, after all, I don't know what his cousin is.
