Chapter 80: Didn't Wait (Fifth Watch)
Dian Jiang is only twelve years old and is a family child. Her mother is a cook in the kitchen, and her father is a small steward in charge of flowers and trees. Otherwise, the third-class maid next to Xu Xi wouldn't be her turn to do it. It's easy to get promoted by the girl's side, and there are often rewards, and the work is not tiring, but it's much better than being a rough maid elsewhere, and it's a sought-after errand.
The newcomer found that Xu Xi was not a good-tempered person, although she had never beaten and scolded them, but in the face of the old lady and lady, she dared to be tough, so Dianjiang was always trembling when she did things.
Yi Cui's situation is similar to Dianjiang.
"How can you just eat steamed buns? I also ate a lot of snacks, I was not hungry, and we divided these meals between the two of us, half for each person. ”
Xu Xi said, walked to the table, plucked the food, and left half of everything for Dianjiang, took half a bowl of rice himself, and ate the pickles and greens.
Dianjiang's mother is not good at giving her daughter special treatment in dishes, so she has to give some preferential treatment in terms of portion. So although the food is not good, the portion is sufficient. The two girls who both had some stomachs to eat, enough to eat.
"No, no, no, how can the slave and maid share the food with the girl? As long as the girl doesn't dislike it, she doesn't have to leave it to the slave. Dianjiang hurriedly waved his hand.
"That's all I can eat anyway. If you don't eat the rest, you'll have to pour it. Xu Xi said.
Dianjiang had no choice but to remain silent.
"Girl......" Qingfeng's eyes suddenly turned red.
Xu Xi's cheeks were bulging, and he looked at Qingfeng in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
"The girl eats slowly, the slave's meal has not yet been mentioned. Then the slave and maid went and brought it to the girl to eat. Qingfeng wiped his tears and was about to go out.
She is a first-class maid, and the dishes are better than Dianjiang, at least there will be a meat dish, and the oil and water of the green vegetables are also sufficient.
"Don't bother, you really don't need to." Xu Xi stopped her, "Didn't I just eat a few pieces of dim sum at the old lady's?" It's really no appetite at this time. ”
Saying that, she waved her hand again: "Okay, don't stay here, let's go eat quickly." It's a little bit of a shame here. ”
Because there are few people, they come in turns to eat and bathe. Qingfeng and Dianjiang are considered a group, and Mama Yuan and Yicui are in a group. Reasoning, Qingfeng and Dianjiang had to wait for Mama Yuan and Yicui to change the guard before they could eat.
Qingfeng just wanted to bring good food to Xu Xi to eat, but he saw that Xu Xi didn't mean to stop at all. It is estimated that by the time she brought the food back, Xu Xi would have eaten enough. She had to stop.
Xu Xi knew that there might be trouble for a while, so he ate quickly, and finished eating in a while.
She put the bowl on the table and instructed Dianjiang: "Clean it up." He added, "You go back to your room to eat, it's good to have Qingfeng here." ”
Dian Jiang just wanted to say something, but he heard someone talking outside: "Fifth sister, are you inside?" ”
Hearing Zhao Rurui's voice, Xu Xi was very glad that he ate quickly, and waved his hand to Dianjiang: "Put it first, and then clean it up later." He glanced at Qingfeng and responded, "Who?" ”
Thinking about the scene last night, Dianjiang's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to clean up the table. Remembering Xu Xi's instructions, she withdrew her hand again.
Qingfeng had already gone out, and Xu Xi also walked to the door meaningfully, and saw that Zhao Rurui had come in.
"What is my sister doing? Father and mother are waiting for you to eat. Zhao Rurui said, turning her head and reproaching Qingfeng, "The girl just came back, I don't know the rules of the house, Qingfeng, why don't you know to remind the girl?" ”
"She reminded me that I wasn't going to do it myself." Xu Xi said lightly, "You go back and tell the second master and the second lady that I have already eaten." You don't have to wait for me in the future, I don't have to wait for the time of school, and I may not be able to catch up with the second room to eat, so it's better to eat by myself. ”
"Fifth sister...... Zhao Rurui frowned, and was about to speak.
Xu Xi interrupted her: "Fourth sister, you don't have to say anything preachy, just go back to the second lady." ”
Zhao Rurui choked, and the expression on her face sank suddenly.
"Hmph, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people." She snorted, turned around and walked away.
Qingfeng looked at Xu Xi and waited for her instructions.
"Qingfeng, you send the fourth girl for me." Xu Xi said, turned around and went back to the room and sat down.
Qingfeng hurriedly went out and sent Zhao Rurui out of the door.
Seeing Dianjiang pack up the dishes and chopsticks and come out, she hesitated, walked over and whispered: "You put the food first and go to the door to have a look." Maybe the second lady or Mama Li will come in a while. When they're coming, you come back and report it. ”
"Yes." Dianjiang nodded nervously.
Qingfeng returned to the house, looked at Xu Xi, and stopped talking.
"Do you think I have a bad attitude towards the fourth girl and make enemies everywhere?" Xu Xi asked, and without waiting for Qingfeng to speak, she explained, "If someone else, such as the third girl, I definitely don't have this attitude." The fourth girl has no kindness to me, and I can only do this to her. ”
"Girl, the slave understands." Qingfeng Road.
Zhao Rurui went back, told Xu Xi's words, and said: "When I went, I saw empty bowls in the house, obviously the fifth sister had really eaten." Although she didn't dare to reverse black and white and add oil and vinegar, she could still apply some eye medicine.
Wei was so angry that he raised his eyebrows, stood up and walked out.
"Madam......" Mama Li couldn't persuade her, so she had to chase her out.
Dianjiang is also a clever person, she didn't wait outside Pinmingju, but went to the path in front. When she really saw Wei coming, she hurriedly came back from the trail and reported it to Xu Xi.
When Xu Xi didn't go to the second room to eat, he knew that tonight's affairs couldn't be good, so he had already prepared.
"When they come, don't stop them, just go and report to the old lady." Xu Xidao.
Living close to the old lady has such an advantage.
The two agreed, and Qingfeng said to Dianjiang: "You have to stop in front for a while, don't let people beat the girl." I'll go and report to the old lady. ”
If you go to Dianjiang, it is estimated that you can't even enter the courtyard gate. But Qingfeng was originally a second-class maid in the old lady's courtyard, familiar with the door, and she went to report, not only the doorkeeper was unimpeded, but the old lady was also easy to talk to.
Although Dianjiang was nervous, he nodded resolutely with a resolute expression.
The three of them waited for the battle, but they waited left and right, but they didn't see Wei and Mama Li coming in.
Xu Xi and Qingfeng both looked at Dianjiang.
"The slave, the slave and the maid really saw the second lady and Mama Li coming here, followed by a little maid." Dianjiang was so anxious that she was about to cry.
The girl didn't do anything she told her to do the first time, so what if she doesn't want her in the future?
"Don't worry, it's fine." Xu Xi comforted him gently, thought about it, and said with a smile, "Maybe she went to the old lady." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a tortoiseshell voice came from outside the door: "Five girls." ”
