Chapter Seventy-Nine: Changing Strategies (Four Changes)
At this point, her voice suddenly stopped. Because she found that Xu Xi was looking at her uprightly, with an expressionless face and a cold gaze.
"Auntie, girl......" she stammered, "the old slave said this for your own good." ”
"I am very grateful for Mama Yuan's heart for me." Xu Xi opened his mouth, but his tone was flat and his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't hear her gratitude at all, "Mama Yuan is old, let Qingfeng and them worry more about these things in my hospital, Mama, you go back and rest." ”
After a pause, she added another sentence before Mama Yuan opened her mouth to defend herself: "I'm all for your good." ”
This sentence successfully choked the words that Mama Yuan was about to say in her throat.
In fact, when there was a conflict with the Wei family, Xu Xi found that this Yuan Mama was more slippery. She is not like Qingfeng, because she was sent to serve her master, she put her interests first, and rushed forward to defend her in everything.
This is not the case with Mama Yuan.
At that time, she seemed to be standing next to the theater, which was quite a bit irrelevant. It was only when she got to the back and saw Qingfeng and them rushing up that she had to step forward to stop Mama Li and them, so as to make a good impression in front of her, the master.
Originally, Xu Xi wanted to observe again, after all, people's personalities are different, and the way of doing things is also different, and you can't deny a person just by one action. But now she felt that she didn't need to observe anymore.
Regardless of her past or present life, she is a very assertive person, and she doesn't like others to dictate her own affairs, even her parents, let alone a subordinate.
"Girl......" Mama Yuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Xi, "No need to say any more, you can step down." As she spoke, she stopped looking at Mama Yuan, picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly.
Mama Yuan was aggrieved to death, but Xu Ximing didn't want to listen to her beep anymore, so she had to purse her mouth and salute and withdrew.
At the other end of the second room, Mama Li was entrusted by Mama Ruan and was explaining Wei: "...... Now that there are two girls in our second room, they have been admitted to the women's academy, and the eldest lady and the third lady don't know how much they envy you, don't let them see the jokes. The five girls are uneducated and have a strong temper; The sixth girl looked weak on her face, and she also had an idea in her bones. Both of them are soft and not hard. Madam, you have always been smart, but don't be foolish in this matter, let people pick up the cheap in vain, and be laughed at. ”
Wei actually regretted it after the conflict with Xu Xi last night. She didn't speak well to Zhao Ru behind her back, but she was still passable on her face. Especially in front of the old lady, the eldest lady and others, she also looks like a mother to Zhao Ruyu.
Xu Xi is her long-lost daughter, no matter what happened in Xiaorong Village, since she got it back, no matter what she thinks in her heart, she should love Xu Xi more on her face. And shouldn't pick your nose and eyes as soon as you meet, which finally caused Xu Xi, the little girl, to move out, so that everyone in the whole house saw the joke.
She lowered her eyes and pulled the teacup and sighed leisurely: "Mama, what you said is right, I was wrong." ”
She raised her eyes and looked at the drip in the room: "At this hour, Sister Xi should come back, right?" I'll be nice to her when she comes to say goodbye. ”
Seeing that she was persuaded, Mama Li showed a smile on her face and said, "The sixth girl was admitted to the Beijing Women's Academy, which is a great event. If the fifth girl doesn't come to say goodbye, don't blame her when you see her at dinner in a while, talk well, and care about her. After all, you are her mother, and if you have a good face for her, she will naturally be happy in her heart. Maybe with a little more persuasion, she will be able to move back in. ”
She breathed a sigh of relief: "The fifth girl and the sixth girl are so capable, if you find a good husband in the future, you can also help the second young master, right?" Although the second young master is capable, there are three gangs of a hero, and there are people to help, which is always right. ”
At the mention of his son, a smile appeared on Wei's face.
At this time, the maid came in and said, "Madam, the meal is ready, and the master, young master, and young lady have also arrived." ”
Wei's smile narrowed, and while getting up and walking out, he asked Mama Li: "Didn't you say that there was a banquet?" ”
Mama Li also looked confused: "The old slave doesn't know either." ”
Wei didn't care. Although Zhao Ruyu is a girl in the second room, she was not born in the end, everyone knows the details, she can't be proud if she wants to, why bother to find herself uncomfortable in front of the old lady and the eldest lady? It doesn't matter if there is a banquet or not.
The two went to the dining room and saw Zhao Yuanliang, Zhao Jing'an, Zhao Ruyu, and Zhao Rurui present, but Xu Xi was nowhere to be seen.
"What about the five girls? Didn't notify her? Wei raised his eyes to look at the little maid.
The maid hurriedly said, "Noticed." The fifth girl said that she would eat in her own yard, but she came. ”
"What?" The anger that Wei had just suppressed came up again, and his voice rose a few decibels.
The people in the room were silent.
Wei just wanted to instruct Zhao Ruyu to call Xu Xi, remembering that she was admitted to the Beijing Women's Academy, her finger turned and pointed at Zhao Rurui: "You go, no matter what means you use, call her over." ”
Zhao Rurui hesitated for a moment, but under the watchful eye of the Wei family, she still agreed, and then went to Pinmingju step by step.
At this time, in the tea house, Dianjiang had already brought the meal back and put it on to Xu Xi.
When Qing Feng saw those dishes, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Xu Xi also raised his head suspiciously and looked at the two of them.
After a long time, he said, "The people in the kitchen and the kitchen said that the girl's food has been delivered to the second room." Slaves...... The slave and maid brought back their share. As he spoke, he knelt directly in front of Xu Xi, "The slave maid made her own decision and asked the girl to forgive her sins." ”
Xu Xi raised his eyebrows.
I see.
She said, needless to say, the dishes at last night's banquet were as good as chicken, duck and fish; In the morning, there are two kinds of porridge, one salty and one sweet, two kinds of snacks, and four plates of side dishes, which are also quite hearty. Why did this dish drop several notches in the evening? A bowl of white rice, a plate of pickles, a plate of fried vegetables, and even a little oil star can't be seen. It turned out that this was an example of a third-class maid.
"Good girl, hurry up." She got up, helped Dianjiang up herself, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you are clever, otherwise I would have been hungry tonight." But......" she blinked, "your food has been eaten by me, and you are not going to be starved?" ”
Seeing that Xu Xi was not angry, but had appreciation, Dianjiang breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips and smiled shyly: "It's okay." My mother works in the kitchen. When I was carrying food, she stuffed me with a steamed bun, and I couldn't go hungry. ”
