Chapter 14: The Reunion of the Lotus Picking Festival (Part I)

There are twenty-one brothers of my father, and in addition to those who died in early age and died of illness the day after tomorrow, there are more than ten who are alive today. Back then, even in the palace, she didn't even recognize her position and name, let alone recognize her face.

When she heard that she was the son of the prince, she was still a little worried, but she thought that since she had neither heard of this brother nor masked her face, she should be fine. However, out of caution, Yi Xue will still take the opportunity to stay in the back kitchen, just wait and see from afar.

So Yi Xue pretended to fall when passing the meal, and deliberately made her face dirt, and the housekeeper on the side saw that she didn't knock over the food, so he said a few words to her, worried that she was clumsy, so he asked her to stay behind honestly.

Today, the sky is beautiful, and the blue sky is like washing. Although there was a light breeze, the heat of the afternoon came a little faster than usual.

Moreover, these nobles have to recite poems before the meal to ask for an atmosphere of appreciating lotuses.

This is the common opening of banquets in the palace, and Yi Xue is naturally not surprised. In the past, these banquets were indispensable in the palace every Mid-Autumn Festival, and the link of poetry was the part that these nobles competed for, on the one hand, they could show their talents and ambitions to the emperor, and secondly, it was like a battlefield where the generals competed, and the victory or defeat of the poetry was the face guard battle of the civil officials.

It's just that today's poetry atmosphere is far less than in the past, first of all, there are few poets, and in the end, the official ladies are allowed to stroke the piano and dance their sleeves to make up enough time, and the poems made are really a little difficult to say compared to what Yi Xue has heard before. Although Yi Xue is not a high eight buckets, she has heard a lot of things when she was a child, and now she has copied a lot of books, and she can still hear the simple advantages and disadvantages.

Originally, there were many young masters of the family in Guozixue, although there were gorgeously dressed and not doing their jobs, but the fathers were strict in discipline, and there was a little ink in their stomachs, but when I saw it today, was it abandoned in the past few years?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the exclamations among the maids, and it turned out to be a maid standing in front of her waiting for the waiting, and she fainted.

The housekeeper in charge hurriedly asked people to take her down, and Xue Xue glanced at it from a distance, and found that it was the fat maid who had stared at her before, and she wiped the sweat beads on her face while watching it, and the midday heat was indeed a little difficult.

The maids looked at each other, or the heat was unbearable, or the nobles were domineering, and they didn't seem to be willing to fill the position in front of them.

Suddenly there was one less person in front, and the housekeeper began to worry.

Looking at the rest of the maids, most of them were thin and small people, and when it was hot on this day, their faces were sweaty, and they felt that if they were carried out one second, they would seem to faint due to the heat in the next second, and they would be unconscious.

The eyes of the housekeeper in charge stayed on Yi Xue's body, although Wei Xue was not as round and jade as the official lady, but Wei Shuo had never missed her food, standing between the little maids, obviously taller, although there were beads of sweat on her face, but her face was also ruddy.

Looking at Yi Xue carefully, this girl does not look like the daughter of a poor family, and under closer inspection, although she is dressed in maid clothes, her graceful posture is also looming, and the housekeeper in charge can't help but feel a little strange.

At this time, Yin Baoshan's personal maid Amber walked over to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper hurriedly put on a flattering smile, Amber whispered to the housekeeper, and then pointed at Yixue, and the housekeeper immediately nodded again and again and said that it would be done.

Yi Xue thought about these noble sons of the family today, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, if there were people from the noble sons of the family who were present today, then wouldn't she be able to ask about the situation back then, perhaps...... Maybe...... My brother was rescued by them.

She was also taken aback by the sudden thought of herself, but the thought of such a possibility made her unable to help but get excited, completely oblivious to Amber and the butler.

The nobles of the family also seemed to feel that the heat was unbearable, and the passing scene was gone, so they urged to let lunch start quickly.

The housekeeper in charge glanced at Yi Xue, thinking that although Yi Xue was a little clumsy before, he had to follow Miss Yin's instructions, and called Yi Xue directly to him.

"What's your name?" The steward asked.

Yi Xue didn't expect that she would be called out directly by the housekeeper in charge, and she would be asked for her name, she was completely unprepared, and she was speechless for a while. The housekeeper showed an impatient look in his eyes, and Yi Xue hurriedly thought about the names of the people around her, but they were all men, how could they come up with a maid's name all at once, so they had to take the word "tilt" from Rong Tilt, and said:

"My name is Tile."

finally answered and coped with the past, and Yi Xue's mind was relieved a little.

The housekeeper then said, "Tilt, then you go to the front, go to take the place of Amei in front, Amei, you come to fill this vacancy." ”

A wave of uneasiness struck her in her heart, what does this mean? Go to the front? The maids in front of her are going to serve at luncheon, is she going to serve?

When Yi Xue looked up, she saw the back of Amber leaving from a distance, and it was a good thing that Yin Baoshan had done.

The housekeeper in charge asked Yi Xue to serve in front of the prince of the aristocratic family!

Yi Xue just wanted to refuse, but the housekeeper in charge seemed to expect it, and said, "The next person will listen to the orders, and it is up to you whether you go to class or not." Let Yi Xue swallow the unspoken words back to her stomach.

Then the steward told her how to serve. While listening pretendedly, Yi Xue's mind was thinking rapidly, and her brows were tightly locked.

Not to mention that she has never served anyone, more importantly, this face can't be seen by those nobles!

In fact, the nobles of the family do not have to be served by maids when they eat, but today's lotus picking banquet is not an ordinary wine cup, it is called Bi Tube Drink. This wine cup is taken from the lotus leaf with stem in the river, piercing the lotus heart, so that the piercing hole and the hollow lotus stem communicate, and then, the lotus leaf is filled with lotus wine, and the wine is sucked from the end of the stem when the wine goes down the hollow lotus stem.

The housekeeper in charge saw that her brows were tightly knit, and at the same time, the music of the meal had already sounded, so he asked another maid next to her, "Amei, if there is anything, help a little bit." ”

Amei on the side responded, but as soon as the housekeeper left, Amei's displeasure was written directly on her face, and she stared at Yixue directly, with naked disdain in her eyes.

Ah Mei is actually very jealous, because the person who Yi Xue wants to serve is the purple-clothed little marquis who makes all the ladies everywhere today fall in love - Sima Cheng.

She spent a lot of money to ask the housekeeper for the opportunity to serve the little marquis, for which she also deliberately dressed up, I heard that the little marquis has not yet married, if you can see yourself, you can fly on the branch to become the master, and you don't have to suffer from these subordinates anymore. As a result, he was robbed halfway by this "leaner" who didn't know where he came from.

Yi Xue was now thinking about how to avoid meeting the noble son of the family, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet, not noticing the gaze of Ah Mei next to her.

And for this blue tube drink, the Yin family has put a lot of effort into it, the little guy who came and went with the freshly picked lotus leaves, Yi Xue was upset, and when she saw the silt sticking to the lotus leaves, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately dragged the little guy by with one hand, covered with one hand, and robbed some river mud with the other hand.
