A baker's dozen. Gift system
Mu Xue went back to her yard a little dejectedly, remembering that she had offended the head of the Mu family as soon as she came back, and instantly felt that her future was worrying.
But others don't think so.
Xue Lian had already heard about this, and when she saw that her young lady was back, she jumped in front of Mu Xue, holding the snack she had prepared earlier, and said with joy on her face: "Miss is hungry, there is a snack here." ”
Mu Xue looked at Xue Lian with an inexplicable expression, thinking in her heart why this little girl was so happy.
Then I thought about it, and felt that it would be good for her to be happy, there were only two people in this courtyard now, she and Xuelian, and they couldn't be unhappy together.
But she still asked, "Yo, what happened to you, you're so happy." ”
Xue Lian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Didn't I hear that Miss was awarded a heavy responsibility, and I am happy for Miss." ”
The corners of Mu Xue's mouth twitched, and she said in disbelief: "You knew so quickly?" "The news doesn't come so fast.
Xue Lian noticed Mu Xue's disbelief, but she didn't show it, and said with a smile: "That's right, this thing is crazy." It's been five years, and you're the first to take power from the eldest lady. ”
"The first one? No one has helped my eldest sister in the past five years? ”
Xue Lian pouted and said, "There are a lot of people who are willing, but the eldest lady is unwilling and has no choice." ”
"She's pretty good, then."
"How can Miss grow up with other people's ambition to destroy her own prestige, Xuelian thinks that Miss is much more powerful than her, and she must do better than her."
...... "Although I am a modern person, it does not mean that I am comparable to Mu Ling, an ancient man who has managed Mu Mansion for five years, in terms of management."
People are prodigies, am I? Hehe.
Seeing that Mu Xue didn't speak, because she didn't have confidence, Xuelian smiled and said, "It's okay, Miss, I'll help Miss." Although I haven't been in charge of any of this, I've seen a lot of things like clothing over the years. This costume is not prepared by the young lady, you just need to ask someone to prepare it, and the young lady will check it before, and then send it to the young ladies. ”
"That's it?" Sounds pretty simple.
"Well......" Xue Lian thought for a while, and then said, "Oh, by the way, it seems that there are still gifts to be arranged." ”
“…… Shouldn't they have brought their own gifts? ”
"Of course, the gifts given in private are prepared by yourself, but as the Prime Minister's Mansion, there will be several gifts, and these gifts must be dignified and generous, which can not damage the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor can they be too luxurious and vulgar."
"How many copies are there?"
"Hmm...... The people who want to participate in the Prime Minister's Mansion are the old lady, the old man, and the three young ladies and the three sons, so they should only need to prepare three copies. ”
Mu Xue was puzzled, isn't this six people? How do you prepare three servings? And she asked.
"Aren't there six of them? How do you prepare three servings? ”
"Miss, I don't know, right......" Xuelian suddenly stopped, she looked at the snack in her hand, smiled a little shyly, and said, "Miss, my hands are sore." ”
Only then did Mu Xue realize that the little girl in front of her was still holding a plate with a lot of snacks, and immediately snatched it from her hand and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.
Mu Xue caught a glimpse of the stone chair, sat down without saying a word, and then beckoned Xue Lian to sit over.
"Snow Lotus, come and sit."
Xue Lian was used to it, and she didn't have the previous caution, so she sat down directly, and naturally picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it.
Mu Xue didn't pay much attention to it, and also ate it, and asked while eating, "Why only prepare three gifts?" ”
Xue Lian looked at Mu Xue with wide eyes, swallowed the snack in her mouth with difficulty, and then said: "Gifts are determined according to grades, and what kind of person should prepare what kind of gift." ”
"In order not to disgrace the Prime Minister's Mansion, the preciousness of the gift should naturally be the same, the old lady is a first-class lady, and the old man is a first-class official, the gift should naturally be more expensive, but the young ladies and sons are different, the young ladies and sons have neither any rank, nor are they particularly famous people, so they add up to only one."
"However, if the eldest lady participates, it will be different, the eldest lady is the first of the five women, if she participates, it should be reasonable to add another one."
"Mu ...... Eldest sister, she won't go? "Oops, I almost said it was Mu Ling.
It's okay here, in case someone else hears it, especially that Bauhinia, I won't die directly?
No, you must get rid of the habit of calling others by their names in the future, and you can't let others catch them, huh.
Xue Lian tilted her head and said, "Eh, didn't I tell Miss?" The eldest lady will not participate in the general banquet, except for the emperor's fiftieth birthday last year, the emperor specially asked the eldest lady to go, and the eldest lady basically did not participate in the banquet. ”
"Didn't anyone specifically call her except that time?" Then her popularity is enough.
"Not really, but they were all appointed by the eldest lady for various reasons. Everyone also knows that the eldest lady doesn't like to be lively, and she is not annoying, and she is afraid that the eldest lady wants to come but will not come because her name is not on the invitation, so she will only write 'Miss Mu Jia' on the list, but will not name her name. The eldest lady didn't even bother to think about the reason when others didn't name her, and she never went. ”
"Then she's cold enough." Mu Xue couldn't hold back and complained.
But I didn't want Xue Lian to also nod in agreement and said, "Hmm." ”
“…… You hate that big sister of mine? ”
Xue Lian was stunned, and said in a strange manner: "How dare I hate the eldest lady?" ”
...... "Okay, that's it."
"By the way, is she really that pretty?" When it comes to appearance, Mu Xue thinks that her face is the best-looking, even when she first saw the eldest sister, she was severely amazed.
Even if the person is wearing a mask.
Xue Lian raised her eyebrows, nodded unconvinced, and said, "I don't like other places very much, but her face is nothing to say." ”
Then, Xue Lian raised her head to look at her young lady again, and asked with some confusion, "Didn't Miss see the eldest lady just now?" ”
"Yes, but she was wearing a silver mask, so she didn't see the face. By the way, is she so fond of wearing masks? I wear it even at home. ”
Xuelian bit another piece of snack and said, "I can't blame the eldest lady for this, it's really that the eldest lady is so good-looking, many people forget everything when they see the eldest lady, which affects the work efficiency too much." ”
"So exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration, that's just the case. And I don't know why, the eldest lady seems to hate people staring at her face, although the eldest lady can punish those people, but it is always more convenient to wear a mask. ”
Mu Xue nodded as if she didn't understand, and muttered, "No wonder." ”
What the hell is this? Is it so exaggerated?
How beautiful this Mu Ling is, it will be to the point where you can't even look at it.
No matter what, it won't look better than modern ones with makeup and plastic surgery.
Modern plastic surgery techniques are perfect, there is nothing that can't be done, only what you can't imagine.
But it's not to the point of being obsessive.
Mu Xue felt that this matter must be exaggerated.
