Diancui looked at the crescent moon outside the window in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the kitchen that he touched last night when he had nowhere to go.

That kitchen should be a kitchen in the west courtyard, specially for the guests in the house to eat, and it is not impossible to find the leftovers. Last night, Diancui found a piece of cold cake on the moon outside, scooped a scoop of water from the water tank, fished out a piece of pickled vegetable melon from the jar he brought, and ate the cake with water, while eating, he thought that when he first came back to the house in his previous life, he should have been hungry for three whole days, and the reason at that time was different from now, that time she was reckless and ignorant to see Gui Chuyu and a Zhaodi sister, and was disgusted and punished by Grandma Lu, not to mention that she was locked up for three days.

Dian Cui still remembers that in the middle of the night last night, she also had a dream, she dreamed that the wind was blowing, the kitchen door was blown open, and a person came in, and that person was her teacher Yuan Zhiheng, in the dream Yuan Zhiheng told her that this place is no better than the countryside, and she must be cautious in everything she says and deeds, and would rather suffer losses than come out, Yunyun.

Now that I think about it, Diancui will inevitably be sad again, where is the capital so big to find her teacher, isn't it really going to wait until a few years later at the banquet at An Peiqing's house? Diancui thought of An Peiqing, and there was a chill in his heart, just thinking about not seeing him again in this life.

Also, who is the person who brought himself back after he fainted, after waking up, he no longer felt uncomfortable in his abdomen, presumably it was the person who fed himself, and Diancui relived his life without suffering from a man, but when she thought of the person who hugged her and fed her this time, she was inevitably shy in her heart. I thought in my heart that if I had the fate to meet this person in the future, I would definitely thank them for their kindness.

In the middle of the night, Diancui couldn't hide his sleepiness and went to sleep.

On the second day, he got up early, went to the well to fetch water, washed his face, and waited in the courtyard.

When the maids and women in the courtyard woke up, they hurriedly washed, and went out to work in the yard where they were serving. Diancui lowered her head and silently followed behind Ruohe, along with that Xiaomei, the color of her clothes was exactly the same as herself, and when she saw Diancui, her face immediately changed, pouting, and along the way, she stared at Diancui, who was from the countryside next to her but was more marked than herself.

"You're the one from the countryside? I heard that you caused the eldest lady to fall into the water, how can you still be so cheeky to serve in the courtyard now? "Xiaomei grew up in the capital, although she is also a child of a poor family, but she didn't suffer much after all.

Seeing that Diancui was silent and ignored her, he said, "I heard that your people there are hungry and eat cannibalism/meat, but is it true?" ”

Diancui was asked by her, and she was a little laughed and didn't know how to answer. But I heard Ruohe sneer, and I didn't have the anger to say that you are a savage or a disaster victim, but it is not as unbearable as you said when you are far away from the capital.

Diancui thanked her, but Ruohe raised his chin and snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to her.

The little girl pursed her mouth, unconvinced, and didn't dare to speak up in front of Ruohe.

When she arrived at the eldest lady's yard, Diancui was not such a serious maid with such a rank, so there was no need to go to the eldest lady's side to say hello, just silently looking for some work to do in the yard. That Xiaomei wanted to be angry with her, she grabbed the broom when Diancui swept the floor, Diancui watered the flowers, she was at the well, Diancui lowered her head to pull weeds, she immediately covered her nose as soon as she approached, and screamed, "What kind of smell is this, it smells bad."

"What's the smell of her?" An unhurried voice sounded, and Gui Chuyu walked out of the courtyard with his head and face neatly dressed, standing under the budding begonia tree.

As soon as Xiaomei saw Miss coming out, she immediately pointed to Diancui, stepped forward and said crisply: "Miss is her, she has a strange smell on her body, she must come to work without washing." ”

Qiu Yue, who returned to Chu Yu's side, stepped forward, took a closer sniff, and turned her head and said that Miss was the smell of oil smoke and the smell of the stove.

"Our eldest lady has always been happy, clean and no smell of pickles is the rule of the people in the courtyard, what do you have to explain?" Qiu Yue rebuked unhappily.

"Back to Sister Qiuyue's words, Diancui slept in the kitchen the night before yesterday, contaminated with the smell of the stove, and there was nowhere to change it, so I asked my sister to forgive me." Diancui explained softly.

"Living on the stove? Aren't there a lot of people's rooms, and there should be two bathing rooms in your courtyard, why don't you go and bathe clean? Gui Chuyu frowned.

Diancui was silent, and the maids who came with her were also silent.

"Ruohe, come on." Gui Chuyu fiddled with a begonia flower and said.

"Miss, Grandma Lu said, Diancui lives in the ear room, there are too many discarded sundries in it, it was late last night, and everyone didn't have time to help clean it up." Ruohe bowed his head and said: "The bathing thing is the slave's fault, and I forgot about it when I was busy these days." ”

"But so?" Gui Chuyu looked at Dian Cui.

Diancui hurriedly forked his hands and said yes, he blamed the slave for being lazy and didn't clean up, and only picked up a cheap place to sleep, only to dye the smell of his body, and asked the eldest lady to atone for his sins.

"Well, it's not your fault that this matter is not your fault," Gui Chuyu said lightly: "Don't go into the house, just wait in the courtyard outside." ”

As he spoke, he covered his mouth and nose with a brocade and walked away quickly.

"Miss Diancui Xie is considerate," Diancui said with a smile: "Miss is kind, and the slave can't help but be grateful." ”

Gui Chuyu likes to listen to good words, and this flattering word still comes out of Diancui's mouth, and she has a kind of refreshment and pride in her heart that she can't be humane. Picking a half-opened begonia hairpin in the autumn moon and her ear, the old lady and lady of the lotus trail said goodbye.

None of the maids in the courtyard can observe words and looks, and seeing that the young lady's attitude towards Dian Cui seems to be really not ordinary, she also temporarily stopped bullying Dian Cui.

There are new peony flowers in the house, and before they are distributed to the courtyards, the lord Gui instructed to move these peony flowers to the large garden of the south courtyard for everyone to enjoy.

Grandma Lu took the errand and took the little maids from each courtyard to do it.

In the eldest lady's courtyard, the two first-class maids in Qiuyue and Dongxue were waiting by the young lady's side, so they called Ruohe to bring a little maid over.

Ruohe glanced at the few little maids below, pointed to Cui, and said, Let's go, you go with me.

Diancui immediately responded, keep up, a few little girls who were not selected couldn't help but be depressed, I heard that those peonies are all delicate and precious, such lively little maids are the most willing to go close to get together, now Ruohe only took a little cui to go, it is really frustrating panic, especially that Xiaomei is gritting her teeth, and when she works again, it is inevitable to hammer the table and stool and beat it, and it is a good meal to be seen by Qiuyue.

The maids and ladies from all the courtyards are here, and they have the strength to help move the flowers and move the table, and the small strength to set up tables and chairs, and arrange refreshment tables.

"This girl is very raw, look at this light yellow and honey clothes, she should be new, right? The girl is so good-looking. A dark lotus lotus girl who was fiddling with refreshments looked at Diancui and said with a smile.

Diancui smiled, and also looked at this maid, knowing that this was the Yurou girl next to the second son, who was good at counting accounts, and had a spicy and refreshing personality. ”

Yurou smiled happily, her small mouth was quite sweet, and she asked where it came from.

Hit Qingping County, Shandong, Diancui said truthfully, Yurou paused slightly, her residence was not in the outer courtyard, but with the second young master's west courtyard, although she heard little about Diancui, she also heard about it, paused slightly but quickly returned to normal, but she did not show a look of disdain on her face like other little maids.

"Oh, who are you, hurry up and take away your dirty hands, this is the Ru kiln white porcelain tea cup used by my cousin and grandmother to eat tea, how can it be touched by your countryman's hand." A maid wearing a light cyan horse-faced skirt with a goose-yellow bime combing a delicate three-haired girl stepped forward and snatched the tea cup from Dian Cui's hand and pushed her out.

The maid is wearing light clothes, and she also lives in the outer courtyard, although she does not live in the same courtyard as Diancui, but the news between the people is the fastest, since the Diancui is led into the door by Ruohe, and the eldest lady falls into the water, the eldest lady saves her regardless of the previous suspicions, these things have already been dressed, and no one in the whole house knows this rural girl. Seeing her now, she looks handsome and outstanding, but she is not as good as the girl next to the eldest young master, and her temperament is also soft, and she is pushed by others, so she only dares to get up silently.

It seems that it is really soft and deceitful, among the people in the courtyard of returning home, especially between the maids of the same level, if you have a soft personality, then it is no wonder that you are affected by anger, and you are doing the hardest work. The masters in these mansions know themselves, but where will the masters take care of the affairs of their subordinates, not to mention that the old lady in the mansion has always been strong, and the most hated person in her life is such a cowardly and incompetent person.

Among the oppressed maids, except for a very few who are naturally cowardly, most of them are newcomers, and they have no roots when they first arrive, and they often dare to be angry and dare not speak out after being oppressed.

Diancui once became a maid who returned to the house for a lifetime, and the twists and turns in this are more experienced by others. In the previous life, everyone bullied her, and the oppressed couldn't raise her head, and the master didn't like her when he saw her like that...... Diancui thought to herself, this world can't be.

"Thank you for this sister's reminder," Diancui stepped forward lightly and said softly: "Diancui doesn't understand the rules of the house when he first arrives, and this master's things can't be touched by others......"

"Snort" Before Diancui finished speaking, Yurou, who had placed a snack box before, couldn't help sneering, and whispered without raising her head or opening her eyes: "Master? What kind of master is she? ”

Yu Rou's voice was small, but it was also clear to people, and the maid from before immediately blushed, put down the tea cup, and stomped back.

"I didn't expect you to be a little bold," Yu Rou said lightly, usually those maids who have just arrived are scolded and bullied, either stunned and stupid, or crying, but there is no one like this one who speaks so generously.

Diancui smiled, scrubbed the rag in the bucket, and then wiped the table and chairs, and looked at the little maid who went away in shame out of the corner of his eyes, the master of this maid's mouth was Grandma Yue. Dian Cui has not forgotten the situation when Mrs. Qian next to her came to interrogate her by someone pretending to be a lady that day.

Besides, Grandma Yue has always been heaven and earth, and the people in the house admire Madame a lot, and she will not have much good voice towards Grandma Yue with ill intentions.

Diancui knows everything in this mansion by heart, how can she not know that this grandmother Yue is not well received, as long as she mentions it slightly, it is not uncommon for this little girl to leave in embarrassment.

"That's her! Cousin and grandmother is she moved your tea cup, and she said disrespectfully, "Just as Diancui was happily shuttling between the tables and chairs, I heard a coquettish reprimand, and there was a ringing sound, and a fragrant and cold figure came into front of me, and the figure stepped forward is a slap, Diancui saw her figure, and her body flashed slightly, but unfortunately this slap hit the face of the Yurou girl next to her.

A red and swollen handprint immediately appeared on Yurou's fair face, and when Grandma Yue saw that she had hit the wrong person, she was stunned at first, and then she saw that it was Yurou, her eyes were raised, she took off the sweat towel on her chest and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "Yo, how did this hit the Yurou girl next to the second young master, let's see if my face is not broken." What I want to teach a lesson today is this new girl who doesn't have long eyes, who is the next person in this house and who is the master, no one can guarantee it until the day of old age, what does Miss Yurou think? This is what Yu Rou heard, and this slap may be about to hit Yu Rou.

After her cousin and grandmother left, Yurou couldn't help but be angry and annoyed, stomped her feet and covered her face and ran back to the courtyard of the second young master, guarding the second young master for a long time to wipe her tears and cry, the second young master has always been the most protective of calves, and she was going to go to Grandma Yue that night to make trouble, but was stopped by a few maids in the courtyard.

Let's say that Miss Yurou was slapped by her cousin, and a brand-new hairpin with glass bee chrysanthemum pearl tassels on her head was knocked off, and when she picked it up, she saw that the inlaid glass fell to the ground and shattered.

"Why are you still here," Ruo Hehu came into the courtyard from outside, pulled Dian Cui and said, "The old lady will arrive in a while, and you are not afraid of rushing/bumping into the master." ”

The disgusted Diancui carefully wrapped Yurou's hairpin into his sleeve, and then led out of the south courtyard by Ruohe, and went to the courtyard of the next person, but there was no one, Ruohe stuffed a white muslin gauze in her hand, a piece of pancreas, and pointed to a house to go in and wash it.
