Diancui hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile, Wan Wan can't say that he knows the word "line", but he was an apprentice at the silversmith at the entrance of the village for a while before he entered the house.

Su Xue nodded and said with a smile. After speaking, she looked at her a few more times, and here Grandma Lu was silent and only went inside to find the steward of the workshop. Su Xue took Diancui around the workshop, and said a few words from time to time, Rao is previous life Diancui stayed here, and when he came back after more than ten years, he still felt eye-opening.

Grandma Lu finished explaining, and went back with Diancui as a carriage, and on the way, she looked at the small inserts and pecking needles inserted in Diancui's bun, and took it down and took it with me.

Diancui hurriedly took it off, it was a dragonfly playing in the water, a lotus leaf lying toad's small plug, and handed it over with both hands.

Grandma Lu looked left and right, and said for a while: "You did it yourself?" ”

Diancui's face was slightly red, and he said, the things in the countryside are not exquisite, and Grandma Lu should not joke about it.

Grandma Lu looked at these two pieces, and said for a while: "Although it is difficult to enter the workshop, if you really have a heart, it is not impossible." ”

Diancui's eyes lit up, the road to recognition was difficult, her first-class wish was naturally to be able to accompany her wife, but if she didn't work in the workshop, she was also extremely happy in her heart.

"But this matter should not be too hasty, you wait for me to deal with it, but when you go back, you should serve the eldest lady and have to serve, don't forget your duty," although I have only met this little girl a few times, but Grandma Lu inevitably likes her in her heart, and her words are also quite mentioned, and she said in a deep voice: "Since the eldest lady taboos you to inquire about the affairs of the lady again, you should also stop thinking first, and the future will be long." ”

"Whoa! Grandma, I made a note of it, and I will never be impulsive to make the eldest lady angry again in the future. Dian Cui looked at Grandma Lu's eyes flashing with gratitude, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is Grandma willing to help me?" After all, she is just a maid from the countryside, and she didn't have much communication with Grandma Lu in her previous life, in fact, Diancui in her previous life not only saw Grandma Lu, a subordinate with status in the house, like a mouse seeing a cat, but also wouldn't go to the master to make up in front of him, and he was extremely timid and couldn't make a scene.

Grandma Lu was also thinking about this problem, and she didn't understand it for a long time, if she said that because of the praise of the old man, she wanted to protect her in her heart, it wouldn't be ...... sighed and said Probably you closed my eyes, this person is inevitably amorous when he is old, and he always feels like he has seen a girl like you somewhere.

Diancui wanted to blurt out and ask I don't know what Mrs. looked like when she was young, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it again, don't inquire too much about the master, this is what Grandma Lu explained before, she doesn't want Grandma Lu to lose her love for herself.

An old man and a young man entered the house, and Grandma Lu went to Wu's place to resume her life, and Dian Cui went back to "face the wall" according to Grandma Lu's words.

said that it was facing the wall, Dian Cui didn't feel that he was wrong in his heart, but the little girl Xiaomei was always probing her brain outside, as if she was watching, Dian Cui smiled, and stood still facing the wall.

Xiaomei looked outside for a long time, but she didn't move a single step at all, she didn't even drink water, she felt bored, and stomped her feet and went to the young lady's courtyard to return to Miss Qiuyue.

Diancui faced the wall for a day, and at night went to Gui Chuyu to ask for sin.

Standing outside the courtyard, only Qiu Yue came out and said coldly: "Since Miss Diancui is not in this courtyard, Miss said that she is not strong, and she will go to the kitchen of the west courtyard to be a maid with a fire from tomorrow." ”

Qiu Yue saw that Diancui did not show the fear and regret expected by Miss, she couldn't help frowning, and stepped forward to persuade: "You also don't know how to do it, Miss treats you well, but you still want to fly to another branch, this time you go to the west courtyard to work hard, don't be lazy, just take it as an experience, wait for Miss to dissipate her anger in the future, I will persuade you again, and it is not impossible to come back to the courtyard to serve when the time comes." ”

Dian Cui listened to it and hurriedly thanked Sister Qiuyue, and went to the West Courtyard to not embarrass Miss.

Qiu Yue saw that her attitude was still correct, and she also took the meaning of the young lady, so she went away. Qiu Yue figured out that Miss didn't really want to abandon her, or she wouldn't bother to buy her from Qingping County, and sent Xiaomei to go to the kitchen of the West Courtyard with her, and secretly instructed the kitchen of the West Courtyard to treat her coldly. As for Miss's true thoughts about Diancui, this was the first time she couldn't guess it.

"I heard you're going to the kitchen in the West Courtyard?" After Diancui came back, Ruohe went to Diancui's small ear room at night and asked with a cover on his face.

Diancui nodded slightly, looking at the pot of tuberose on the table, the flower bones were crowded all over the pot, and there were a few flowers that had bloomed in the past few days, with the fragrance of the night breeze becoming more and more intense, Diancui was a little dizzy by the fragrance, so he carried it out of the eaves outside the house, but saw that Xiaomei outside looked at herself like a cross-eyed, ruthless.

Ming'er went to work in the kitchen of the West Courtyard not only herself, but also her, no wonder she was unhappy.

"You went to the west courtyard, can I go and play with you when it's empty?" Ruohe's face flushed slightly when she said this.

Diancui smiled and said Naturally, I am also the most familiar with you in this mansion, no matter where I go, I should not break this friendship. Ruohe got her words and left happily.

As the forefoot of the Lotus was about to leave, there was another knock at the door. Diancui wondered that Ruohe still had something to say, but when he opened the door, he saw that it was Miss Hanlian.

Han Lian smiled first when she entered the door, she was already delicate, this smile was like the bewitching tuberose in the courtyard, and Diancui didn't feel a little dizzy.

"I heard you're going to the kitchen in the West Courtyard?" Han Lian asked softly, with a light in her eyes.

Diancui smiled bitterly, I came to ask the West Garden Kitchen tonight, this time I was assigned by myself, and everyone in the front yard knew about it? Then he was ashamed: "There is indeed such a thing, what does Sister Hanlian have to explain?" ”

Han Lian slightly covered the corners of her mouth with a sweat towel, and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to explain, you have something to ask for." ”

Got something to ask for? Diancui was puzzled, but listened to Han Lian say: "As soon as I beat you, I felt that you met my eyes, and I went to the West Courtyard this time, just to ask us to be able to communicate often." ”

I didn't expect that I was still so popular in this life, Diancui smiled bitterly: "What kind of request is this, I haven't thanked my sister for planting flowers last time and solved the siege with me, even if I go to the west courtyard, it is still inconvenient to live here, and I often go to my sister to play when I am empty." ”

Han Lian's face turned pale, and she said angrily: "You wood, I mean that when you go to work in the west courtyard, I will go to you to play, can you say in the end!" These words were obviously annoyed as if they were roaring out, and Han Lian blushed with shame after speaking.

Diancui was stunned for a moment, and then thought, the kitchen in the west courtyard is just a kitchen, and it is not a fun place to go.

Scold! Diancui had a wit, how could I forget this, the West Courtyard is a place where young masters live and study and practice dance. As the maid of the eldest young master of the West Courtyard, Han Lian can serve in the courtyard during the day, but he can't go out of the courtyard at will, because there are still a few foreign men in the place where the young masters practice martial arts and study, not to mention, the eldest young master is not like the second young master, he is a person with extremely strict rules, in this world, except for the eldest lady, even if the woman next to him is his own mother Wu, he doesn't show much enthusiasm, not to mention the next maid, then it is even more difficult to enter.

As the fire girl in the kitchen of the West Courtyard, Diancui is different, in addition to having the opportunity to serve soup and food to the young masters, the young masters come up to Yaxing and often cook food on the spot, so they have to call a few kitchen maids to come forward.

Diancui knew Han Lian's intentions, and she didn't want her to get close to the eldest young master by looking at her own introduction, in her previous life, she became the concubine of the eldest young master, which made the family uneasy, and she didn't want such a thing to happen in this life.

Seeing Diancui's hesitation, Hanlian was not annoyed, and took out a silver-red tassel of embroidered flowers and sweat towel from his sleeve and stuffed it into Diancui's hand. Before she could excuse herself, she went out with a smile.

When the two of them left with crimson faces, Diancui couldn't help crying and laughing, she was going to be punished, and it was not a glorious thing, this person came up one by one, which was really helpless.

On the second day, Diancui went to the kitchen of the West Courtyard early to be a fire girl, which was not her wish, but Grandma Lu also said that everything has to be done slowly, and the two young masters can easily see Mrs. in the West Courtyard.

Diancui had never been to the West Courtyard in his previous life, nor had he been to the kitchen to work, so he was not very familiar with the people over there, but he only knew that there was a big waist and a round body in the kitchen of the West Courtyard with a strong body called Aunt Xing.

Returning to the west courtyard of the house, there is the most precious one of the towering plane trees in Henan Mansion, this tree is precious, a big reason is that it is ancient, the years are old, the branches are strong and towering, about five people hug together, to the summer tree under the sky and the sun, the old man simply built a martial arts training ground below to his own children.

South of the big plane tree is a few independent small courtyards, the left and right two main courtyards are the residence of the two young masters in the house, the other is the residence of other young masters who live here, the north of the big plane tree is the study room, the study room, the chess room, the tea room, and then to the north is a small garden, there is a rockery fish pond pavilion in the garden, there are still several sycamores, the garden is less delicate and enchanting flowers, most of them are plum, junzi orchid, bamboo and ink chrysanthemum, etc., the garden here is also the jurisdiction of the old man, but recently a new son has arrived, But he is quite interested in these rough gardening work, and when he is empty, he will come here to ask the old man for advice.

After the garden, and then through the verandah, the northernmost is the kitchen of the west courtyard, behind the kitchen house is also a sycamore tree that is not young, in addition to this sycamore, there is still a well, a circle of fences, the fence is planted with some seasonal melons and vegetables, perennial green onions, leeks, spicy seeds, coriander and other seasoning vegetables.

In the huge homecoming, the kitchens of each yard are punctually delivered every morning and evening with the freshest vegetables and the fattest fish...... Such a pastoral interest is rare elsewhere in the house, and this fence to plant melons and beans is the attention of the second young master, the second young master has traveled with his maternal uncle when he was young, and he has some unique opinions.

Diancui and Xiaomei were led around, and then they were reminded of a few words, nothing more than not to be instructed not to go through the hand-copying verandah, which disturbed the young master in the house and the sons and daughters, there is no need to inform the eldest lady, Aunt Xing directly dealt with them here.

said that it is a fire girl, but it can't just be a fire, brush the pot and wash the dishes, pick vegetables and cut meat, remove fish scales and wash fish maw...... In the end, taking advantage of the empty time for the chef to rest, he had to clean up and sweep, and the clean and pink Luo skirt was inevitably dirty from time to time, and the hair was slightly scattered, but if it was seen by Aunt Xing, who was in charge of the dispatch, she would immediately scold her head and face.

For a month, the dirty and tiring hard work has been done all over again, and the non-stop inside and outside is like hard labor, where is there still half a trace of leisure in the eldest lady's yard, Xiaomei is almost unable to live, and she has no heart to find some green stubble.

As for Diancui, under the hands of Qian Laosi's family, he fed pigs and chickens, carried water and vegetables, cooked on fire, washed and swept the floor, and milled rice...... If you can't, you can't. On the contrary, since entering the kitchen of the west courtyard, although the dirty work is tiring, Aunt Xing often has a black face, and scolds loudly when she sees it, but she has never really used a trace of lynching, let alone treated her harshly on food, and after a period of contact, she faced Dian Cui with more and more kindness and heartfelt liking, and saw Xiaomei Lao looking for trouble and sent her away from afar.

Since then, Diancui has eaten enough, dressed warmly, slept enough, and thought less, but he has gained a lot of weight.
