Chapter 43: The Beginning of the Hour
When Song Wanfeng heard this, the corner of her mouth sneered: "Instead of being afraid, you might as well hurry up and clean up the room, otherwise Mama will trouble you again in a while." β
When Dew Drop heard this, she didn't care what the answer was, so she ran away, but just after running a few steps, Dew ran back and asked, "Miss, where does Mama live?" Which room should the slave and maid pack? β
Although Tingyuxuan is a spacious place, there are very few rooms, except for the room where Song Wanfeng lives, there are only two subordinate rooms and a small kitchen.
One of the subordinate rooms was inhabited by Baicao and Dewdrop, and in the other room was inhabited by the two maids sent by Liu Mulan to serve her.
Seeing that Song Wanfeng was also embarrassed, Luzhu proposed: "Miss, if you don't let Mama live in my room with Baicao, I and Baicao will move to Meilan's room with them." β
Whoever lives with, Dew Drop doesn't want to live with Mama Ma.
"It's fine." Song Wanfeng responded.
"No, you don't." Mama Ma, who had already come out, refused: "The old slave just saw that there was a couch in the eldest lady's house, and during the period of guiding the eldest lady, the old slave can sleep on that couch." β
"How can you let Mama live there? Although the couch can sleep people, it should not sleep more. Song Wanfeng instinctively refused.
"Yes, Mama, the slaves and maids have to keep vigil for the eldest lady, if Mama sleeps on the couch, it will be easy to wake up Mama." Dew also retorted, how dare she let Mama and the eldest lady be alone.
"In the future, the old slave will keep vigil for the eldest lady." Mama Ma said, "Mrs. and the old man explained to the old slave, and the eldest lady must be made a famous lady in Kyoto, and the old slave reminded the eldest lady, and then the old slave will be very strict with the eldest lady." β
Immediately, Mama Ma looked at the dew drops and said, "You, don't clean up yet." β
Dew Drop didn't want to go, Song Wanfeng said, "Go ahead." β
Song Wanfeng spoke, even if the dew drops were unwilling, they still went to clean up the couch, and as soon as they walked in, they saw that Baicao was about to come out.
"Be careful yourself, don't make Mama angry." As he passed, Baicao reminded.
After just a few back and forth, Baicao knew that Mama Ma was not a person to be messed with, maybe it was Madame Liu who came to torture her and the dewdrops, so as to drive them away from the young lady and leave the young lady alone.
So they have to be careful and careful.
"I know." Dew Drop responded.
In the evening, when Song Wanfeng was about to have dinner, Mama Ma suddenly appeared and said: "Miss, the old slave thought about it, and still thinks that it is better to start now, after all, such a thing should be sooner rather than later." β
"Now?" Song Wanfeng asked.
"Yes, now, let's start with this dinner of the eldest lady." Mama Ma said expressionlessly: "This meal also has a lot of exquisiteness, from sitting and standing, to holding chopsticks, holding food, to chewing and swallowing, putting down the dishes and chopsticks, and leaving the seat."
At noon, the old slave specially observed the behavior of the eldest lady during the meal, which was really unsightly, and the eldest lady needed to learn again. β
Baicao and Dewdrop, who were waiting for Song Wanfeng to eat on the side, heard Mama Ma's words, and their mouths opened slightly in surprise. I've never heard of so much attention to having a meal.
"Now, Miss, please get up." Regardless of whether Song Wanfeng agreed or not, Mama Ma went straight.
Song Wanfeng was helpless, so she had to put down the chopsticks in her hand and get up.
"As a lady, you can't sit crookedly, your eyes can't look around at will, and the last thing you have to do is to stare at others.
Before you sit down, you have to enter the dining table, and when you walk into the table, you have to identify your seat, and when you meet the elders, you must be polite and not reckless.
When you walk from outside the door to the table, you have to walk straight, don't bend, or even circle around the table before taking a seat. Now, please come in through the door. β
Song Wanfeng knew that this Mama Ma sincerely intended to torture her, and even deliberately made her ugly, but she still endured it, walked outside the door, turned around and walked in, looked directly at the seat she had just had, and walked straight away.
"No, no. The eldest lady looks like this, the old slave has a long way to go, and it seems that everything has to be taught all over again. When Mama Ma saw it, she shook her head.
"The eldest lady walks in the wrong posture, how can everyone walk like the eldest lady. Don't take too big a step, and don't take too fast a step, otherwise you will walk in a nondescript way. β
In the end, Mama Ma said: "Do it again!" β
Song Wanfeng had to turn over and return to the door, and according to what Mama Ma said, she took small steps and walked in slowly.
"No, no, Miss, your hands are not right, how can your hands hang down to the sides of your body. Do it all over again. β
Song Wanfeng returned to the door, clasped her hands on her abdomen, and walked in.
"It's still not right, put the first point with both hands, and start again."
β¦β¦
"No, no, do it all over again."
β¦β¦
"Do it all over again!"
β¦β¦
"Do it all over again!"
β¦β¦
Over and over again, Song Wanfeng walked from outside the door to the table, and walked back and forth more than a dozen times, but none of them satisfied Mama Ma, and Song Wanfeng endured all this.
The grass and dew drops watching from the side were distressed.
It's been almost an hour, and Mama Ma is not satisfied, so she keeps asking the young lady to start all over again, and the meals placed on the table are already cold, how to eat them.
"Do it all over again." Mama Ma didn't care about Song Wanfeng's already a little pale and sweaty face, and said expressionlessly.
"Mama, the food is cold, can you let the young lady finish dinner before continuing." Baicao Road.
"You can even walk a little way, what to eat." Mama Ma said angrily.
"But ......"
Baicao was unwilling and wanted to say something, but was scolded by Mama Ma: "It is because of a maid like you that I can't supervise and remind the eldest lady that the eldest lady has to suffer this." β
"But Mama, the eldest lady is weak......"
"Baicao, it's okay, I'm fine, I can continue." Song Wanfeng, who walked to the door, endured hunger and said to Baicao.
Baicao didn't say anything more.
After walking back and forth like this for half an hour, Song Wanfeng felt that the whole person was soft, and she didn't know if it was because she didn't have dinner or because she was weak.
Song Wanfeng was wrong, even Baicao and the others could see it.
"Mama, it's been an hour, let the eldest lady rest for dinner." Baicao pleaded.
"Yes, Mama, the eldest lady is weak, and the wind and cold are just right." Dew Drops also joined in the persuasion.
"Alright, that's all for today. Starting tomorrow, in addition to the eldest lady, you two will also have to join the training. Mama Ma said.
"Huh?" BaicaoγLu was stunnedγ
"What, you don't want to train?"
As soon as they saw Mama Ma's angry expression, they wanted to refute and refuse, but the two didn't dare to say it.
"No, no."
"Let's wait for the eldest lady to eat." After the words fell, Mama Ma walked out of the room.
Song Wanfeng sat down on the chair directly under the support of the two maids.
"Miss, are you alright?" Dew asked.
"It's okay, I'm just hungry."
"The food is cold, the young lady will eat some snacks to cushion her stomach first, and the slave will heat the food." Baicao took the dim sum on the side and handed it to Song Wanfengdao.
After eating dinner and bathing, Song Wanfeng lay on the bed, motionless, and the legs under her body seemed to belong to her as if they didn't belong to her, and she couldn't feel it.
When Mama Ma came back, Song Wanfeng was already asleep on the bed, and Mama Ma couldn't help frowning when she saw Song Wanfeng curled up on the bed, like a baby in her mother's belly.
But in the end, she didn't bother Song Wanfeng, but turned around and went back to the outer room and slept on the couch.
Although it was said that there was a vigil, in fact, Song Wanfeng slept very deeply, perhaps because she was too tired, so Mama Ma slept until dawn.
When the sky was white, Mama Ma woke up naturally, got up and washed up, and came back to see that Song Wanfeng was still sleeping on the bed.
Looking at Mama Ma, Song Wanfeng was in a trance for a while.
"Miss, it's time to get up." Mama Ma said expressionlessly.
Hearing Mama Ma's undulating, cold voice, Song Wanfeng was instantly awakened by freezing.
"Mama Ma, it's only then, and the Wenguo Mansion basically only gets up for breakfast at the end of the hour." Song Wanfeng said helplessly, but she was already woken up by Mama Ma, and when she lay back on the bed, Song Wanfeng had no sleep, so she had to get out of bed and get up.
"The Duke of Wenguo got up at the right time, and the old slave didn't care, but the old slave was the eldest lady's upbringing at the moment, so he tried his best to teach the eldest lady. The plan of the day lies in the morning, whether it is as a child, or as a wife or mother in the future, the eldest lady gets up early to serve her parents, husband, and take care of her children. β
Song Wanfeng didn't know how to refute this.
Song Yanliang has Liu Mulan, and a few aunts, how can she be used to serve, even if she wants to serve filial piety, it is estimated that Song Yanliang does not want to see her.
As for her future husband, Song Wanfeng never thought that maybe in this life, she would rather be alone, and after she got everything back from those people, she would return to the mountains with herbs and dewdrops, and live a life of self-sufficiency.
As early as when Mama Ma got up and walked out of the door to wash, Baicao, who lived in the next room, had woken up, and when she saw Mama Ma walking past the bed, Baicao reached out and pushed the dewdrops, got up and went to the small kitchen to boil water and prepare breakfast.
According to the past, Song Wanfeng went to the hall to dine with everyone, but when Mama Wu brought Mama Ma over that day, she said that Wenguo Bus Agency, since she had found a nurturing grandmother for the eldest lady, the eldest lady did not have to eat with them every day, she just needed to study hard in Tingyuxuan.
Mama Ma thought that Baicao had not gotten up yet, and she was a little unhappy, and when she raised her feet and wanted to go out of the room to tell the maid to get up, she saw Baicao walking in with a basin of warm water in both hands.
"As a maid, how can you get up later than the eldest lady? In the future, you must get up at the end of the day, and so must the eldest lady, and you must get up when the time is over, and you must not covet the warmth of the bed. β
Seeing Mama Ma's serious appearance, Song Wanfeng and Baicao didn't dare to resist and responded.
