Chapter Forty-Seven: Inferiority

Cai Qing looked at Gu Banqin's leisurely appearance, wanted to refute but didn't know what to say, stood in place and thought for a long time before he stumbled:

"These big truths that Niangniang said, the slave maid is a stupid character, I can't understand it, but I feel that Niangniang is just making excuses to fool the slave and maid......"

After saying this, Cai Qing couldn't help crying, saluted Gu Banqin and turned to leave.

Gu Banqin, who was guessed by Cai Qing, grinned and silently looked at her departing back, only to realize that this girl seemed to be too excited today, so she turned her head to Liu Wu and asked, "What happened to Cai Qing today, why did you cry?" ”

Liu Wu wanted to speak and stopped, she was timid, she didn't dare to say to her face like Cai Qing was not half of Gu Banqin, and she didn't dare to tell what she had just encountered, so she had to be silent.

When Gu Banqin saw her like this, she knew that the two of them were being bullied, and said:

"Someone is bullying you." Not a question, but an affirmative tone.

Liu Wu was a little surprised, and felt that her mother was still very keen, but she was not interested in competing for favor.

Liu Wu didn't say anything, Gu Banqin guessed a rough idea, Liu Wu also knew that this matter could not be hidden from his mother, and hesitated for a moment before telling Gu Banqin the truth.

"Hui Niangniang, in fact, the slave maid is not bad, she has not been wronged, it is the matter of Sister Caiqing who made a voice when she went to the imperial dining room to receive the meal today......"

"Sister Cai Qing met Yazhi of Lanyue Hall in the imperial dining room, and the two of them arrived at the imperial dining room one after the other, because today is the wolfberry red date lotus seed soup that the mother loves to drink, Cai Qing and Yazhi both took a fancy to this bowl of soup at the same time."

"Originally, this was to pay attention to the first come, first served, but Yazhi insisted that this was the meal that Shufei Niangniang had already booked, and she had to take it back for Shufei Niangniang to enjoy first, Cai Qing refused, so she quarreled with Yazhi in the imperial dining room."

Sister Caiqing only argued a few words, and then Yazhi stretched out her hand, slapped two ear scrapers in front of a cadre in the imperial dining room, and hit Sister Caiqing, and Yazhi said something about her low status...... Some ugly words, Cai Qing was beaten in public, wronged, and lost face, so he held back a breath of anger in his heart......"

Gu Banqin looked at Liu Wu and finished speaking, nodded, and suddenly asked, "Did Cai Qing tell you about this, or did you find out about it yourself?" ”

Gu Banqin knows her two personal maids, Cai Qing is bolder, she is resolute in her work, and she is relatively strong and aggressive in her daily relationship, which can be seen from the fact that she even dares to say a few words to herself.

Such a strong person often cares most about face, if she is wronged outside, or is humiliated in public, her absolute first thought is not to retaliate back, but to hide the matter, cover it to death, and resolutely not let people know the slightest rumor.

And Liu Wu is docile on weekdays, thinks more, speaks softly, and is a person who has no opinions, and Cai Qing, who has a strong temperament, will never confide in her, so Gu Banqin asked.

Sure enough, Liu Fu lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "Sister Caiqing didn't say a word to me, but this matter made a big fuss, and the whole imperial dining room knew about it, and it was only half a day's work that spread all over the harem, and the slave maid also listened to the little eunuch there when she went to the Huanyi Bureau to get clothes......"

After listening to it, Gu Banqin was a little surprised, I didn't expect that Liu Wu You are still an extremely gossip Liu Wu, you don't talk and do things on weekdays, and you can still go one by one when you inquire about intelligence gossip......

It seems that the timidity and weakness of catkins are very deceptive to people......

Gu Banqin nodded, turned around and walked towards the dormitory, Liu Wu immediately followed behind him with small steps, and asked in a low voice:

"Niangniang, Sister Caiqing...... What to do? ”

When Gu Banqin entered the threshold, she lifted her skirt with both hands and stepped into the dormitory, she turned her head and smiled at Liu Wu, and said:

"Actually, this matter doesn't have to be like this at all, although in the past, going to the imperial dining room to get food was always on a first-come, first-served basis."

"But Cai Qing was beaten just for a bit of a battle of will, Yazhi is a first-class maid in the Lanyue Palace, Cai Qing and you are both third-class, and this level is a few levels behind."

"And Cai Qing is not fighting for sweet soup for me, but to fight with Yazhi for a breath, this kind of vindictive behavior, naΓ―ve not to say, but also easy to cause trouble for yourself, just like now, it is clear that Yazhi hit someone first, but we can't fight back, do you know why?"

Gu Banqin's eyes were sharp, and she saw the corner of the tender green palace maid's skirt exposed behind the screen, which was the palace dress on Cai Qing's body.

Gu Banqin didn't see it, but continued to talk to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu didn't look at the Tao because her back was facing the screen, she lowered her head and thought about Gu Banqin's question, and replied: "The slave is stupid, what Niangniang said means...... Is it because we are of low rank? ”

"You're right."

Gu Banqin nodded and added: "That's right, it's because of your low level, your mother's position is not as good as that of the lady concubine, so where is the difference in rank, even if we go to the door to find someone to theorize, people may not be able to deal with us, and Cai Qing's revenge will naturally not be avenged."

When Liu Wu heard this, she completely understood what Gu Banqin meant, her eyes darkened, and she wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and closed it again.

Gu Banqin saw the meaning of Liu Wu's tangled face, but she just smiled at her, without any comfort.

Then she glanced at the corner of her clothes behind the screen, sighed silently, then said no more, got up and went into the small study, leaving Liu Wu Caiqing a back, she had to leave some space for the two little maids, let them figure out this joint by themselves.

The position is not enough, where is the difference in strength, if you still learn not to hide yourself, Mingzhe to protect yourself, sooner or later it will cause a big disaster, Gu Banqin would rather the two of them be wronged now than regret it in the future.

After Gu Banqin left, Cai Qing walked out from behind the screen.

Liu Wu was about to open his mouth to call her when he saw her, but he was glared at by Cai Qing first and glared back.

Cai Qing stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, stepped forward, glanced at Gu Banqin, who was drawing in the small study, and then took Liu Wu's hand, and the two went to the courtyard.

No matter how stupid Liu Wu was, he knew that Cai Qing had been hiding behind the screen just now, but he was afraid that he had heard the conversation between Niangniang and himself.

Liu Wu was afraid that Cai Qing would be unhappy, and complained that Niangniang was unwilling to come forward to seek justice for her, so she just wanted to open her mouth to defend Niangniang, but Cai Qing did not appreciate it, and said angrily:

"You just don't say a word, I heard what Niangniang just said, and I didn't say that I had to let Niangniang give me a head...... Just ......"

There was a little cry in Cai Qing's voice.
