Chapter Ninety-Four: Return to the Western Courtyard
Diancui didn't know that the Wu family had sent someone to Qingping County to inquire about her life experience, and only honestly lavender in the embroidery room.
If it is honest, in fact, she also secretly made some small actions when she was empty, such as going to see Xin'er once during the period, Du Xiaozhu didn't know where to go these days and couldn't see anyone, Diancui had to go to Xin'er in person, explain some things about mountain goods, and by the way, she told her some customs and customs in Qingping County, so that she could get familiar with the local environment as soon as possible two months later, and not be suspicious.
In addition, Diancui has listened to a few mothers-in-law in the embroidery room occasionally gossip about the old things of returning to the mansion in the past few days, and vaguely heard that there was really a young lady in this mansion before Gui Chuyu came back.
"The young lady that Grandma said, why haven't I seen it?" Diancui approached the mother-in-law and asked casually.
When the woman saw someone asking, she immediately became interested and said softly: "How can Miss Diancui know this, this is all an old thing five or six years ago." ”
"Old Huang family, you don't talk about it, these things are strictly forbidden for the old lady to say in private." The other maid frowned, took the shirt in Diancui's hand, and while putting the shirt on the ice incense with her, she couldn't help but lean close to her ear and said, "That young lady, in fact, it is not from our eldest lady at all!" ”
"It's not from the eldest lady, could it be that the lord has other ......" Diancui was stunned, she didn't know anything about these things in her previous life.
"What a guts! A few of you are chewing the root of your tongue here, no wonder this embroidery room has been made by you to make a miasma! The eldest young master Gui Bonian strode in, and saw that Diancui was inquiring about his wife with the maid, but in his eyes, he was sneaky and ill-intentioned.
Gui Bonian scolded sharply: "Don't kneel down yet!" The bold slave and maid are a little clever, and they can't help but coax the lady around, and they dare to ask about something that shouldn't be asked, what should you be guilty of? ”
"Dian Cui didn't, young master, you misunderstood, Madame has always been wise, in fact, I, a little girl, can coax the group around." Dian Cui's tone was also full of anger, the eldest young master had always looked at himself unpleasantly, and as soon as he entered the door, he was reprimanded indiscriminately, and he didn't know why he didn't treat himself like this.
"You! Sure enough, it's a daring maid! What were you asking them about? Gui Bonian said hatefully, wanting Diancui to confess his guilt.
"There's nothing, the slaves and maids are just gossiping together, and they forget what they say in a blink of an eye, and I hope the eldest young master won't take it to heart." Who knew that Diancui didn't blink his eyes when he played it.
"You! You...... Outrageous! ”
This maid doesn't know how to repent at all, saying that she is not afraid at all and dares to talk back, Gui Bonian is a gentleman, although his face has never been cold and serious, but he has never really punished any of his subordinates, this will meet such a fool as Dian Cui, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Han Lian saw it, and she couldn't bear to be like this, but Diancui and her have always had a good relationship, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
"Hey, why are you still in the embroidery room, after Mrs. said that, you can go back to Aunt Xing in the West Courtyard, and she has other arrangements for the embroidery room." It was the second young master who returned to Zhongqing, Wu's body gradually recovered, and everything was going smoothly in business, so he thought about taking advantage of this time to rectify some unhealthy tendencies in the mansion.
In addition to the first-class subordinates around the masters of each courtyard, it is common for the rest of the maids to adjust back and forth in the courtyards, but this time Diancui was transferred back to the kitchen of the West Courtyard from the embroidery room, and Grandma Lu considered in her heart that she could not make people think that she was not able to do her errands and was beaten back to her original place, so she asked for a reward in front of the Wu family, and promoted her to be a second-class maid. became a second-class maid, the monthly profit was five dollars more silver, and the color of the clothes was darker, so there was no need to mention them, but the maid who was younger or older than her had to scream Sister Cui when she saw it.
"Great, Diancui, you can go back to the West Courtyard again." Han Lian secretly glanced at the eldest young master, and couldn't help but step forward and congratulate softly, Dian Cui has only been here for a few days and has won the favor of Grandma Lu and Wu, it can be seen that her future achievements will no longer be under her and Yurou, Han Lian has always been a person who takes one step and sees two steps, and she and Dian Cui have always been friendly, so this is a sincere congratulations.
When the eldest young master heard this, he was not pleased with why his mother valued this maid so much, but he thought that the maid in the embroidery room had too broken mouth, and Diancui was a thoughtful person who was so good at inquiring about things, and staying here would let her inquire about more things.
The second young master didn't know what the eldest brother was thinking so much, just because what Diancui had done in the past few days made his mother happy, he remembered this favor in his heart, and said: "Madam also said that in the future, you can learn to make hairpins in the workshop for half a day." He knew that although Diancui could cook a few delicious dishes, he was not as interested in making hairpins as he was.
Dian Cui was happier when he heard this than when he heard that he had been promoted, and he didn't care about being angry with the eldest young master anymore, so he went back to pack his things, and only said hello to a few good maids and daughters in Su Ri and left with his head held high, as for Yan Pozi, he didn't even bother to go.
"The old lady has just come back, and this little hoof is leaving, hum! Count you as fast as you run, or you will look good! "Lu's daughter-in-law didn't get a little bit good in Diancui's hands, and she was articulate and clever, and she stabbed people into people's hearts, and a few times Lu's daughter-in-law wanted to secretly make a rough move, who knew that this maid looked thin but had a lot of strength, and an accidental elbow could be twisted by her.
Lu's daughter-in-law couldn't scold her and couldn't beat her, so she had to sue Yan Pozi, thinking that Yan Pozi could kill her, but who expected that Yan Pozi seemed to be afraid of her after a few times, and turned a blind eye to Diancui's arrogance. Lu's daughter-in-law couldn't figure it out and couldn't get used to it, she was so angry that she fell ill, and when she came back, she thought about it and tried to deal with her again, but who expected that this little hoof was transferred back to the West Courtyard.
"The evil star is finally gone." Yan Pozi, who heard the movement in the house but didn't come out, stroked her chest and said happily. After thinking about it, this maid didn't know where to find out so many of her unknown secrets, and she wanted to deal with them unconsciously, but she climbed up to the high branch of her wife again, which made her difficult to start for a while. But the taste of being pinched is not pleasant, and it will be good to find an opportunity to pinch her in the future.
The eldest young master looked at the relaxed and proud appearance of Diancui following behind the second brother, and couldn't help frowning again.
"Why does the eldest young master hate Miss Diancui so much? Actually, she's not bad. Han Lian asked softly.
The eldest young master heard that Han Lian actually interceded for her, and couldn't help but scold: "Why are you even bewitched by her, you will have less to deal with her in the future, she is too scheming for you to deal with." ”
Hearing this, Han Lian's appearance became more and more weak and pitiful, and said softly, Yes, the eldest young master sighed and said You are too kind, I don't understand that people's hearts are sinister, and everyone is good......
But said that Diancui went back to the kitchen of the West Courtyard, Aunt Xing and the fat maid were overjoyed, and even a few masters came over and said that they welcomed Miss Diancui back, and everyone was thinking about you when you were not there.
The only one who is most reluctant to come back is Xiaomei, although she is not welcomed in the kitchen now, but Aunt Xing is not so casual to oppress others, so as long as she is honest and does not have a bad heart, Aunt Xing did not suppress her much, plus the eldest lady lost her power this time, she thought in her heart that she would stay here and please the young master and son at will, and her life would not be much worse in the future.
But who knew that Diancui was back again!
As soon as Diancui came back, Aunt Xing and their eyes were still others, even the second young master looked at her differently because she had a merit in pleasing his wife, and she was now a second-class maid, and she didn't even mix up with the third-class, how could Xiaomei not be resentful and jealous!
"There is a way that good horses don't eat back grass, and when they left, they walked neatly, but I didn't expect that there would be a cheeky time to come back." Xiaomei couldn't help but be sarcastic.
"They are all maids, and they will go wherever the master tells them to go, and some people can't see that others are popular, so what sour things do they say?" It was Yurou who spoke, she listened to the second young master say Diancui and went back to the kitchen of the West Courtyard, so don't you hurry up to see you.
"Sister Yurou is coming, Madame wants me to go to the workshop after noon, and I want to ask you if you have any old jewelry, and I will replace it with a new one for you." Dian Cui not only didn't look at Dian Cui with his eyes, but he didn't wait to talk to her for half a minute.
Because I didn't even look down on her!
"Great, I have a hairpin that I want to change, and I'm afraid of disturbing you......" Yurou's jewelry has always been the most fashionable style nowadays, thanks to a little emerald, which is envied by others, Yurou is not worried about not having a good head to wear by the side of the second young master, but she also bears a little emerald love.
"Well, since Madame has given you such a great grace, why don't you hurry up and thank Madame." Aunt Xing urged.
"Sister Diancui, go quickly, if the lady appreciates the fruit to eat, you are not allowed to eat alone." The fat girl said with a smile.
Diancui covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, if you have mine, you will have yours." ”
The fat girl is simple and cute, and her biggest wish every day is to eat, eat all kinds of delicious food, as long as she can eat her, she will be satisfied and happy, and she doesn't care about it. Her temperament makes everyone not go to the embankment to bully her, and Diancui feels that she is another kind of wisdom in life.
"Sister Diancui, I'll go with you." Yurou said as she pulled the hair green, and the two went to the lady of the East Courtyard together.
Xiaomei saw that everyone was talking and laughing, and her heart inevitably began to pantothenic acid again. Now the eldest lady is unreliable, she doesn't dare to approach Mrs. Lu Grandma, the eldest young master never deals with the little maid in the house, and the second young master is impressed by Diancui, this Cui has a grudge against her, and now she is still steadily pressing her, oh, no, two ends! It seems that if he wants to find a way, he can only get close to those young masters.
She still remembered Erlang God's birthday that day, and she secretly went to the temple to watch those young masters and sons compete, but she couldn't help but be deeply attracted by Yuan Gongzi's demeanor. It's a pity that when she deliberately approached several times, Yuan Gongzi didn't even look at her at all, some people in this house said that Yuan Gongzi was as gentle as jade, and some people said that Yuan Gongzi was sparse and chic, but she felt the ultimate indifference and alienation from Yuan Gongzi.
But she is unwilling, although her appearance is not as pretty as Diancui, but she is not old but she looks very good, compared to the graceful Han Lian, as long as she walks more in Yuan Gongzi's courtyard, I don't believe he will not be moved!
Thinking of this, she went back and changed into a lotus-colored tulle tugging skirt, and intercepted the fat maid who went to deliver food to her son halfway.
