Chapter 33: The Lady's Curiosity, the Maid's Helplessness
After listening to what Ah Bi said, Miss Ma Si's mind immediately wandered, why did Sister Liu go to that dilapidated house? What is there in the house that can make Sister Liu deliberately run in and stay for so long? The more Ma Xiaoqian thinks about it, the more curious she becomes, but this is also quite in line with her character, she is a very curious person, and she will definitely not let go of curious things when she encounters them.
1. The helplessness of the maid
Ah Bi looked at the fourth young lady in a daze, and knew in her heart that the young lady must have been distracted, raised her hand and shook it in front of the young lady's eyes, and saw that the young lady did not react at all.
"Miss, what are you thinking?" Abi said loudly
The fourth young lady was startled by Ah Bi's loud voice, wiped her dull eyes, and realized her gaffe just now.
"Oh, I hate it, aren't people just distracted", Ma Xiaoqian said with a pout
"Hmph, I knew you were distracted, so I pulled your soul back," Abi said
"Hey, Abi, why did you say Sister Liu went to that shabby house?" Ma Xiaoqian scratched her head with her hand and said
"How do I know where she's going? Anyway, when I went in and looked around, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything," Abi said
"Then why don't you take a closer look," Ma Xiaoqian said
"My eldest lady, the smell is too bad, besides, you asked me to follow Miss Liu, if I lose it, it's strange if you don't scold me to death when I come back", Abi said aggrievedly
"You really have no conscience, when did I scold you, I have always treated you as a good sister", Ma Xiaoqian said
"Yes, Mademoiselle treats me very well, but occasionally pulls me to make mistakes with you," said Abi
"Look at what you and I said, good sisters, of course we will take care of things together, haha", Ma Xiaoqian said
Mrs. Ma is not only good to her granddaughter, but also very considerate to several maids around her, and has always treated these subordinates as her own children. These maids are also from bitter children, and it is not easy to follow them well and serve the family day and night.
"Miss, you won't ......," Abi said, looking into Miss's eyes
"Haha, I know you know me best", Ma Xiaoqian said happily
"No, grandmother knows that you go to that place, and she will definitely scold me to death", Abi said nervously, I knew that I wouldn't talk about this stubble, this eldest lady is too curious, I really should slap my mouth.
"It's okay, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, no one will know," Ma Xiaoqian said
"No, it's really dirty, it's smelly," Abi said
"Don't you think it's mysterious and exciting?" Ma Xiaoqian said with a light in her eyes
"Miss, why are you curious about everything?" Abi said helplessly
"Abi, look, don't you feel bored when we stay in this compound all day?" Ma Xiaoqian said
"Miss, you are the eldest lady, if you go there, it will affect your reputation, do you know? The eldest miss, the second miss, and the third lady are all busy learning etiquette and musical instruments, and you see that you don't think about your future at all", said Abi
"Abi, how did I find out that you are as verbose as grandma? You just tell me, to go or not to go? Ma Xiaoqian said with angry little eyes
"Can I say no?" Abi said aggrievedly, although Miss treats herself like a sister on weekdays, but she is a villain after all, Miss is her own little master, as a subordinate, dare to resist the master's decision?
"No," Ma Xiaoqian said with a pout
Looking at Abi's aggrieved appearance, Ma Xiaoqian felt that her temper was a little bigger, and immediately softened her tone and said
"Abi, I know you're doing it for my good, but I really don't have any interest in those gentlemen, I just want to be myself. What's so bad about a person? I think I'm very happy to live like this," Ma Xiaoqian said
"Miss, but we're women after all," said Abi
"What's wrong with women, Mulan is also a woman, Mu Guiying is also a woman, why can't I do what they can do?" Ma Xiaoqian said
"Miss, having said that, it's ......," said Abi
"Stop, this topic is over, I will pursue my happiness by myself, I don't want to be a woman who lives on men", Ma Xiaoqian interrupted Abi's words and said
2. A small dilapidated house
Abi looked at the happy young lady and sighed, she really couldn't be happy when she met a master with such a strong curiosity. If the old lady knew that she had brought the young lady to that kind of place, she would have punished herself. But the eldest lady in front of her, she can't stop it, it's really a dilemma.
If you tell the old lady quietly, you can avoid the risk of being punished, but you will definitely offend the young lady, and the young lady will definitely not pay attention to herself in the future. Although the old lady loves herself, she is a subordinate person after all, and she definitely can't compare with the young lady.
Hey, if you get out, you will be punished, I hope Miss will not treat herself badly in the future.
"Alright, Miss, I'm out of the way, I'll come with you," said Abi with her fist clutched
"Is this my good sister Abi, okay, it's such a happy decision, grandmother has me, even if she knows, I won't let you be punished," Ma Xiaoqian said
The two held hands and swaggered towards the door, Ma Xiaoqian has always been very arrogant at home, and she slipped out with the maid every once in a while, everyone was used to it, and no one paid attention to what these two were doing when they went out.
The dilapidated house that Miss Liu went to and Ma's house were on the same street, not far away, and the two of them didn't need to take a carriage to get there. Besides, the fourth lady of the Ma family is not a master who can sit in the carriage. The streets of Qingyun City are full of delicious food and fun, how can you experience the liveliness of this street by sitting in a carriage.
Under the guidance of Abi, the two finally found the small alley where the dilapidated house was located. The fourth lady of the Ma family, looking left and right along the way, seemed to have discovered a new continent.
"Miss, are you sure you want to go in?" Abi said again with confirmation
"Why don't you go, or what are we doing here?" Ma Xiaoqian ran to the front and walked straight towards the door of the broken house
"Miss, it's dirty and smelly inside", Ah Bi repeated, the old lady can't wait to hold Miss in the palm of her hand on weekdays, she has never been to such a dirty place.
"It's not that exaggerated," Ma Xiaoqian said
"However, this house is indeed too old, what is this door, is it simply blocked by wooden boards", Ma Xiaoqian looked at the broken door that was only half left
"Miss, you are a beautiful lady, you have never seen the life of a poor family, and some families may not even have a door panel", Ah Bi said in a low voice
"But in this Qingyun City, it's the first time I've seen such a dilapidated door, and the outside of this house looks okay," Ma Xiaoqian said
"Miss, let's not go in," said Abi
"It's all here, wouldn't it be a pity not to go in", Ma Xiaoqian said, pushed open the door and walked in
"Oh, Mom, what does this smell like", Ma Xiaoqian said while covering her nose
"Miss, I've said it, I won't let you in, look at you," Abi said
