Chapter 523: First offense
After a few days, one day the two of them had lunch in the hall, and they were waiting for the ladies in charge to come over to get the license, when they saw a girl hurriedly coming to the third room, and whispered a few words in the third lady's ear, the third lady immediately changed her face, and when she waved the girl away, she smiled after a while, "Fang remembered that there are still some things in my room...... If you are the only one here, you don't know whether to make it or not? ”
Du Rongzhi saw that her expression was anxious, although she was a little puzzled in her heart, but she was impatient to ask more about the third room, so she smiled and said, "How can you not do it?" The third aunt has something to do, even if she is busy, I can handle it. ”
The third lady nodded silently, and when she got up, she narrowly knocked down the tea cup on the case, and walked out quickly.
Du Rongzhi looked at her back and squinted thoughtfully, and Fang continued to call someone in to reply.
…… After a few things were dealt with, Du Rongzhi was serving a bowl of tea to moisten her throat, when she saw a middle-aged servant woman coming in outside, leaned over and smiled, "Slave maid, please be safe young lady." ”
Du Rongzhi's clear eyes glanced at her lightly, and said with a cool smile, "Sister-in-law Ning came early." ”
A hint of disapproval flashed in the servant's slender eyes, and she hurriedly smiled, "It's not that the young lady doesn't know, every day at this time, the kitchen is the busiest, this master wants this, and that master wants that...... Overwhelmed. The slave and maid have rushed here as soon as possible...... Who knows, it's still half a moment late. Please also ask the young lady to forgive me. ”
Although he said that he was pleading guilty, there was a look of confidence on his face.
Du Rongzhi also recognized this daughter-in-law. She originally came out of the old lady's house, and later got the old lady's grace and promised Ning Xianzhong, the nephew of Mama Ning. Now these two people are on an errand in the house together, and everyone doesn't look at the monks to see the Buddha, and they are quite polite to the two of them.
Now it seems that she is going to use these three colors to open a dyeing workshop.
Thinking of this, Du Rongzhi couldn't help sneering and said, "My sister-in-law is also an old man in the house, so she should know that the country has national laws and family rules." Although I am young and ignorant, the more I dare not be sloppy. Mrs. has established the rules of two o'clock in the afternoon, and we have to follow the rules. Otherwise, you will be late today, and I will be late tomorrow, and if you don't wait for your wife to recover, won't the family be messed up? ”
Ning Hailin's family saw that Du Rongzhi's pretty face drooped, and it was obvious that she was about to move her real character, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to mercy, "The young lady is angry...... Originally, the young lady wanted to punish the slave and the slave and the slave didn't dare to say anything, but there was indeed a reason for being late today - it was when it was about lunch, Miss Sun somehow talked to the old lady in front of her, saying that she wanted to eat the meal in the south before, and specially mentioned the hibiscus meat - the young lady also knew that this dish was the most laborious and laborious to make, and our family did not have a cook who was good at Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine...... Although we reluctantly did it, the taste was finally one layer worse, how dare we give it to our masters? The slave had to redo it two or three times...... That's it, Miss Sun also said bluntly that it was better to eat in the south before...... But it's too late. After that, he kowtowed sincerely and said, "I ask the young lady to forgive the slave this time." ”
Du Rongzhi picked her lower lip mockingly.
She said that the Ning Hailin family didn't show up early or late, how could she show her today...... Fat cat bar
Dare is waiting here.
It is not a secret in the Song family that Guan'er loves to eat and will eat, and the old lady probably heard a few words from her before she asked the kitchen to make a whole plate on a whim. This thing was nothing, but these words came out of her mouth, as if their sister Guan was talking and deliberately embarrassing...... And she, a mother, not only does not control her children, but blames those who do things at the bottom.
There were a few stewards standing in the room for a while, you look at me, I look at you, and the expressions on their faces are a little wonderful.
Du Rongzhi just couldn't see their small movements, lowered her head and swept the folds on her skirt, and asked slowly, "Then according to my sister-in-law's meaning, it's a matter of course that I'm late today?" ”
Ning Xianzhong's heart was stunned, and he hurriedly smiled, "The slave doesn't dare...... It's just that the young lady also knows that it's a bit trivial for Miss Sun to ask for this dish-"
"I don't know." Du Rongzhi interrupted with a smile and looked at her seriously, "I'm neither the cook in this house, nor the mother-in-law who specializes in managing the stove, how will I know?" Not only I don't know, but Sister Guan, a five or six-year-old child, must not know even more. ”
She changed her words and said, "It's my sister-in-law, since I feel that Sister Guan'er's request is rude, I can go back to the old lady at that time: either I can't do it, or I find plenty of time to do it...... It's just a matter of one sentence. But you didn't blink and you did...... Even if it should be done, it can't be done at the appointed time, and it will be made later, and it won't be delicious, even if it's late for noon, it's not good to take advantage of both ends, but he doesn't say that he is incompetent, he is ashamed, and he is only wronged......" Du Rongzhi leaned back in the chair and said coolly, "I really don't know what you mean." ”
Mrs. Ning, who was still secretly a little proud when she said this, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "What the young lady said...... It's all slaves and maids......"
Du Rongzhiyun waved her hand lightly, "I also know that you are all people who are doing old things in the house, you are all people with faces, and you are all people who want to call your sister and sister-in-law when you see these young masters, young ladies and young ladies below......" Her voice was gentle and warm, but everyone present was inexplicably a little afraid in their hearts when they heard it, and they only straightened their ears for fear of missing a word.
"But all sisters and sisters-in-law should also know," Du Rongzhi smiled, "Although our Guogong Mansion governs the family with tolerance and kindness, it is not such a foolish family that does not pay attention to the rules and does not ask about dignity and humility. If you respect and love yourself, your masters will naturally respect you. But if anyone wants to rely on the master to give those three points of face, steal and play tricks, rely on the old and sell the old," she put the teacup on the table, "Don't blame me for not remembering the old love, and make her regret not being at the beginning!" ”
The words were silent.
Ning Pozi trembled and knelt on the ground, "The slave knows her mistake...... Ask the young lady to punish, beg the young lady to punish. "Then he kowtowed to the ground.
Du Rongzhi's gaze swept lightly over her, and she said slowly, "Today, I think you are a first-time offender, and I won't punish you heavily." ”
She beckoned to Yuanyuan, "You lead Ning Xianzhong's family to the garden, tell her what she did today, and tell the big guys to come out and listen: In the future, if you make such a mistake again, you just care about passing the buck, you can't open your mouth and close your mouth, no, if you can't do it well, you don't have to be embarrassed, you just came back to me early, and I will let her go down to find another way to make a living." ”
