"Miss is back, hurry up and put those pots of Mo Lan on the table!" Dongxue prepared comfortable home-cooked clothes with her hands and feet, and ordered in a tight voice: "Qingqing, you go to the flower shed and cut a few branches of plum, the first month of this year is cold, Lao Diao said a few days ago that the plum blossom has opened twice, and the lady likes the fragrance of plum the most, and cut it and put it in a large pottery bottle." ”

"Yes, Sister Dongxue." Qingqing glanced at Dongxue's face, sighed and went to the flower shed.

"Sister Dongxue, Aunt Xing said that the noodles are about to be ready, it is a light bamboo shoot and chicken thin noodles, and when the young lady enters the house, she will bring it immediately." The fat girl came in in a hurry, and went out like another gust of wind.

"Wait, go and put a few pieces of pickles in the jar, stumble over sesame oil, and bring them with noodles." Dongxue didn't forget to shout behind her.

When everything was ready, Winter Snow quietly returned.

Xizi stepped forward and pulled her arm to prevent her from leaving, and Dongxue said softly If Miss looks for me, she will say that I am sick, and I will wait for her when I am well.

After saying that, she left, and Kiko looked at her departing back and was stunned for a moment.

Diancui came out of the old lady's courtyard, and went back to her courtyard first, and the fat girl and Xizi watched their young lady come back from a distance at the gate of the courtyard, and ran over happily.

"Miss, you're back!" Kiko said.

"Miss, hurry up, the taste of bamboo shoots and noodles is fragrant!" The fat girl said anxiously.

"You know how to eat, why don't you come and help me carry something, Miss brought you gadgets back." Qiu Yue scolded with a smile.

Sure enough, her and Xin'er's hands were full of things, and Du Xiaozhu in the back was carrying two bird cages.

"What kind of bird is this? She looks smart, but she has lost a little weight, and she doesn't have a few taels of meat......" The fat girl looked at the bird cage in Du Xiaozhu's hand and chirped.

"You're a eater! This is not food, it is for Miss to give to Yuan Gongzi and Guo Lao's boredom! Qiu Yue said again.

Du Xiaozhu handed over the other things in his hand to the fat girl, and briskly carried the two cages one by one to send them to the two masters of the young lady.

"Miss, eat noodles." Aunt Xing brought noodles and pickled melons.

Travel dumplings home, this is the custom of Aunt Xing's hometown, a good luck, she picked two fresh duck eggs early in the morning, only the egg yolk and into a dough, woke up and rolled very thin, cut as thin and long as a hair, boiled with a bowl of old chicken soup, plus a handful of green bamboo shoots, a handful of shredded chicken, a pinch of shallots, two drops of sesame oil...... And it was.

"Aunt Xing, you are all in charge, why do you still do this yourself, just let the mother-in-law in the kitchen do it." Dian Cui smelled the fragrance of his face, and then he felt hungry.

"What they make is delicious?" Aunt Xing said with a smile.

Diancui grinned, of course, it was still the most delicious made by Aunt Xing.

"Miss, eat it quickly, it will taste worse if it is cold." Aunt Xing said softly.

Why it's delicious, it's only because of the heart.

"Huh? Why didn't I see winter snow in my life, and Ruohe's girl? "Diancui has a good appetite, so he ate a lot of pickles before he stopped, but when he looked up, he didn't see Dongxue in the house, and when he was in the yard, he only saw Qingqing and fat girls.

"Sister Dongxue...... She, she's sick. Kiko whispered.

"Sick?" Diancui asked what kind of illness he had, but did he see a doctor?

"Miss, Xizi is talking nonsense, Sister Dongxue is not sick at all, she is obviously injured!" The fat girl snorted.

"Isn't it sick, it's hurt? What happened to me, I heard it in a fog, and you quickly explained it clearly. Diancui frowned.

Seeing that the young lady was a little angry, Xizi and the fat girl didn't dare to speak.

"Hey, old slave, let's talk about it," Aunt Xing wanted to say to Dian Cui:

"Dongxue's face was scratched, and the old slave was too soft-hearted to cause the disaster, Ruohe's maid is too unreasonable!" Aunt Xing said angrily.

"Fuyuki's face was scratched by Wakaha?" Dian Cui exclaimed: "What the hell is going on, Aunt Xing, you start from the beginning!" ”

"Here's the thing," Aunt Xing said: "Wasn't Tong Li, the scholar next to the second young master, injured, Miss Ruohe, she couldn't keep her soul, and ran away whenever she was free, Dong Xue and I have been dissuaded many times for the reputation of our courtyard, but as soon as she said it, she cried, and said that Miss You were allowed to take care of it, and she refused to repent of her words, and Dong Xue had an argument with her. At this time, I don't know how it reached Tong Li's ears, and he also knew that this matter was inappropriate, so he no longer refused to see Ruohe. Ruohe came back for this and fought indiscriminately with Dongxue Girl, and Dongxue was unprepared for a while and had two bloody cuts on his face. ”

This matter was said lightly in Aunt Xing's mouth, but it was shocking to listen to it in Dian Cui's ears.

"Isn't that a broken appearance, have you seen a doctor? There must be no scars. The woman's appearance is the most important, Diancui asked anxiously.

"No, Sister Dongxue refuses to look at the doctor at all," who expected Xizi to wipe her tears and said: "She was afraid that this matter would spread and others would look at the jokes in our yard, so she kept telling the slaves and maids to keep silent. ”

Sister Dongxue's appearance that day frightened a few of their little maids, and now that I think about it, I still have palpitations, so Miss Ruohe is really too arrogant.

Hey, but who made her a child, and she knew Miss for a long time, but Aunt Xing and Dongxue didn't know what to do with her.

"Where is Ruohe now?" The dotted green surface is like frost.

This Ruohe, I only thought that her temperament was a little arrogant before, but her heart was not bad, and now it seems that she can't keep it.

She scratched the face of the Winter Snow Maiden, and she was so frightened that she hid. The fat girl said.

"Someone," Dian Cui called, and several strong women outside rushed in.

"Go find Ruohe and put him in the small firewood room first. Aunt Xing, let's go to Dongxue's house quietly. Dian Cui said, and told Xin'er to call the doctor, although Aunt Xing's earthwork can stop the bleeding, but it can't guarantee that Dongxue's face will not leave a scar.

When the doctor came, the mothers-in-law also found Ruohe, who was unrelenting.

"Miss Gui, the wound on this girl's face has been ten days, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to heal it without leaving a scar at all." The doctor looked embarrassed and said.

"Winter Snow...... How did you do that? As soon as Qiuyue saw the winter snow, she began to wipe her tears, and it was even more uncomfortable to hear the doctor say this. Dongxue is really pitiful, when she was by Chu Yu's side before, she was beaten and scolded, and they always gritted their teeth and endured it, but now they finally have hope for their lives with Miss, who would have expected to encounter such a catastrophe again.

When Dongxue heard this, her shoulders trembled slightly, she gritted her teeth and lowered her head, although she is not so beautiful on weekdays, but she is also a girl after all, if there are two scars on her face, outsiders are destined to look at her with strange eyes, and she will naturally not be able to stay by Miss's side.

"Doctor, you must cure her, no matter how expensive the medicine is!" Diancui Road.

"Then I'll try again......" the doctor sighed.

"Miss, when Miss Ruohe heard that you were back, she cried in the firewood room and said that she wanted to see you." A mother-in-law outside came in to report.

"Aunt Xing, let's go," Diancui closed her eyes, and when she opened it again, it was clear:

"You told her that I asked her to follow her on the day Tong Li was injured, because I cherished a master-servant friendship with her. Who knew that she abandoned this friendship between master and servant, knowing that her rudeness would discredit our courtyard, but she still went her own way...... I can forgive her for all of this. But she, a second-class maid, shouldn't have choked with my eldest maid Dongxue, and ruined Dongxue's face with a poisonous hand. Since then, my friendship with her master and servant has been broken, and she has nothing to do with our yard anymore! But I couldn't let her go yet, so I kept it locked up until the scar on Dongxue's face receded and returned to her original appearance; If the winter snow has not recovered, then I will give two on her face in the same place! ”

"Yes, Miss!" Aunt Xing said.

"Also, tell her that I will not see her, and if she thinks she still has the face to see me, she will make two marks on her face, and I will go to her, or else shut her up!" Diancui said hatefully.

"Miss," Dongxue struggled to get off the couch and muttered, "Dongxue is not worthy of Miss's anger for Dongxue, this face ...... Dong Xue couldn't serve by Miss's side in the future, so he went to the small kitchen to learn to cook with a few grandmothers at his own invitation, and then stayed in the kitchen for the rest of his life, ensuring that he would not embarrass Miss, and asked Miss to allow Dong Xue's selfish ......"

"What are you talking about! Your face will definitely be cured," Dian Cui said: "Take 10,000 steps back, if you really can't be cured, you are also the big girl next to me, your ability is not in the kitchen, otherwise I won't let you touch those account books, I'll give you a foundation first, and ...... in the future I want you to follow me all the time, not to pity you, but to need you. Your ability to settle accounts shouldn't be blinded by your face, do you remember? ”

Dong Xue didn't expect Miss to say so much, and punished Ruohe severely for her, so she immediately choked up and whispered Miss Xie, Dong Xue won't, Qiu Yue saw that she wanted to open her heart and was happy for her.

"Okay, Miss Dongxue is going to be raised, don't see the wind these days, don't worry about Miss, we're all here." Aunt Xing gave a few words, and then returned with Diancui.

Xin'er took a box and opened it, and inside were some small and large jade knick-knacks.

"Nanyang jade, these are all I selected from the jade shop, although the color is average, not too valuable, but it is novel." Diancui picked up an ink-colored treasure lotus jade pendant and said, "This is for Aunt Xing, I think I can tie a purple string around my waist." ”

Aunt Xing took it, and at a glance, the ink-colored jade ring was awarded, and a yellow slight flaw was made into a flower/stamen in the flower/heart of the lotus, and it was smart and generous! Laughing and annoying, Miss Lao is worried, and she will go back at night!

"Qiuyue's pair of okra topaz crescent earrings, Xin'er's pink green jade/bead bracelet have already been given to the two of them, this side of the flash gray green jade paperweight is for the winter snow, the green seaweed pattern season flower white jade bracelet, Xizi's winged lark pink green jade plug, the fat girl's is a small set of seven pieces of green onion and white jade, Du Xiaozhu's is also seven, but the material is slightly different from the fat girl, it is made of shrimp green jade......"

There is still a carved lotus fish belly white pecking needle, which was supposed to be given to Ruohe, Dian Cui didn't expect that she and her prepared a gift, but she left two on Dongxue's face at home, and she told Xin'er to put it away when she was depressed.

The other maids all held the gifts given by the young lady in their hands, and said in unison:

"Miss Xie!"

"Isn't this too precious...... After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but look at each other, and the maid Peiyu was also a little extravagant, but she couldn't help but grin with joy.

Especially the fat girl fiddling with her "seven pieces", she was even more smiling.

"Come, bring it and we'll see," Kiko snatched it and counted: "small tweezers, teaspoons, ear spoons, toothpicks, small combs, small knives, and even lipstick boxes...... Exactly seven pieces! Fat girl, your set is comparable to the seven pieces of our rich lord in the countryside. ”

"How can the rich lord have this beautiful set given to me by the young lady!" The fat girl laughed, quickly snatched it back, took out a sweat towel and tied the seven pieces, and then carefully stuffed them in her sleeve pocket.

These maids were looking at each other's gadgets, and Du Xiaozhu outside didn't enter the house when he arrived in the yard, but only shouted in the yard: "Miss, the two cages of turtledoves have been sent to the hands of the two masters, and I went to Guo Lao's first and his old man picked the two blue-gray tails and wine-colored necks; The remaining two had pearl ideas and sent them to Yuan Gongzi's courtyard......"

"They two like it, do you have anything to say to me?" Diancui looked forward to it.

Du Xiaozhu hesitated for a long time and said, "Guo Lao looked at them and only said two words......

"What?" Xin'er couldn't help but be curious.

Du Xiaozhu coughed and said, "Silly bird, Guo Lao said silly bird." ”

Diancui pressed his eyebrows, and asked again, what about Yuan Gongzi?

Du Xiaozhu was even more embarrassed, lowered his head and said quickly:

"Yuan Gongzi said, the slow look looks like your master"

After finishing speaking, Du Xiaozhu didn't dare to stay longer, and ran away.

"Hey, you haven't taken the things that Miss rewarded yet." Xin'er had to chase after her.

What kind of master did you worship, aren't the kind of masters who are like the Bodhisattvas in the temple solemn...... Diancui sighed secretly, and the few little maids below were also carrying their own gifts as if they hadn't heard what to do.
