Chapter 111: Dugu Banquet
Xiao Ying came over with a hot tea, and while pouring tea for Mo Yingge, she said with palpitations: "I said I bet on the eldest lady!" You're so bold that you're going to scare the slave to death just now! ”
Mo Yingge drank all the tea as a result, and said in an indifferent tone: "Is there such an exaggeration there?" Again...... Anyway, I've helped him a lot, and he's definitely not going to do anything to your young lady, eh, by the way, Xiaoying, do you think that the one in the East Courtyard seems to be particularly quiet recently? ”
As soon as she mentioned the mother and daughter in the East Courtyard, Xiao Ying couldn't help but pouted and said, "What else can those two do?" As long as you don't think about the bad lady, you are already thankful, but I listened to the people in the inner courtyard and it seems that Aunt Lu has been very diligent in taking the second miss out to various banquets recently. ”
Mo Yingge has a few points in her heart, and often takes her own daughter to various banquets? I'm afraid I hate to get married, right? However, their Central Plains has always been respectful of the elder and the young, and her sister has not yet married, but she didn't expect Bai Ningzi, who is a younger sister, to be so anxious.
Even Xiao Ying thought of the relationship inside, and said in a somewhat indignant tone: "Aunt Lu is too anxious, Miss, your marriage has not been decided, and it is really ...... that you have started to look for someone for the second miss."
"Okay, Xiaoying, look at you, this face is going to be angry like a little bun, it's not good-looking!" Mo Yingge smiled and looked at Xiao Ying's bulging face and said.
Although Xiao Ying's figure is not thin, but it is not fat, but the face is very round and cute, Mo Yingge often jokes with Xiao Ying about this, the master and servant are making trouble, and suddenly a voice came from the door and said: "Miss, the master ordered you to go to the study now." ”
Except for Xiao Ying, Mo Yingge had ordered no one in the country to enter the door easily, but she couldn't believe it.
However, Mo Yingge heard that it was Tsing Yi who was talking just now, a little maid she had only noticed recently, with a thin and tall figure, very elegant, not a beautiful face, but it looked very comfortable.
What attracted Mo Yingge was the temperament of Tsing Yi's body that week, although he was a subordinate body, he could always reveal some feelings of temperament that should not belong to the subordinate person.
Mo Yingge had heard Bai Luoshui tell her before she came, and there were often some officials who made mistakes who gambled that their family members would be demoted to the lowest level of status, and then they would be assigned to each family to sit down, and it would be impossible to change their identity in their lifetimes.
Mo Yingge was a little surprised when she heard about it at first, but she didn't expect that there would be such a punishment, but when she saw Tsing Yi, that sense of speculation couldn't help but be full of it.
Mo Yingge opened his mouth and said outside, "You come in." ”
Seeing that the words fell for a long time but there was no response, Mo Yingge glanced at Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying opened the door directly and said to Tsing Yi: "Sister Tsing Yi, the eldest lady ordered you to go in!" ”
Tsing Yi is very popular in the yard, probably because of her elegant temperament, she never cares about anyone, Xiao Ying's impression of her is very good, when Xiyuan wanted to replace people, Xiao Ying said Tsing Yi's name in front of Mo Yingge, and Mo Yingge noticed it.
Tsing Yi hesitated after hearing Xiao Ying's words, did not come in, raised his eyes slightly and looked at Mo Yingge, then stepped in as if he had made up his mind, and saluted Mo Yingge in a proper manner and said, "Miss." ”
Mo Yingge glanced at Xiao Ying and asked her to close the door, Xiao Ying went to close the door knowingly, there were only three masters and servants in the house, Mo Yingge said softly to Tsing Yi: "You get up." ”
Tsing Yi nodded slightly and thanked him, "Miss Xie." After getting up, he was also a behaving style, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Mo Yingge.
Mo Yingge suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "Tsing Yi, are you the son of the family in this white mansion?" "Family birth generally refers to the meaning of attaching the child born to the original descendant, and still sitting in the house.
Sure enough, as Mo Yingge expected, Tsing Yi seemed to be slightly stunned, and then slowly shook her head, although she had always kept her head down, Mo Yingge could still feel the emotion of loss at that moment.
Mo Yingge thought about it, and asked directly to the point: "Then you are the daughter of the criminal minister's family?" Don't worry, if this matter is said, only you, me and Xiaoying will know. ”
Xiao Ying showed a very surprised expression on her face when she heard Mo Yingge's question, she never expected that Tsing Yi would actually be the daughter of the guilty minister's family, in Xiao Ying's impression, Tsing Yi seemed to have entered the White Mansion when she was very young, and Xiao Ying was not long behind, but she was two years older than Xiao Ying.
Tsing Yi was also shocked, she who had been lowering her head and daring to be just Mo Yingge, raised her head the moment she heard this, the shock on her face was indescribable, her mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated and didn't know whether to say it.
Mo Yingge suddenly smiled and said, "Do you want to ask me, how do I know?" ”
Tsing Yi nodded a little stumblingly, and when he spoke, he was a little stumbling because he was nervous: "Miss...... I...... I. ”
Mo Yingge suddenly took a few steps closer to her, and explained to Tsing Yi with a very gentle expression on her face: "When I first saw you, I felt that you didn't seem to be very different from others, and the temperament around you was not what a maid should have, so I was a little suspicious, but the family members of ordinary criminals would be excluded and discussed when they went to the mansion to be subordinates, but you didn't." ”
Xiao Ying, who was listening on the sidelines, only then did she react, as if the light cough in the Bai Mansion was indeed like this, and a few years ago, there were also sinful courtiers and daughters who were sent down to be subordinates, and they were almost bullied to death by those bullying subordinates.
Tsing Yi bit his lower lip tightly, and said as if he had made up his mind: "I...... My father was an imperial merchant, because he was upright and disdained to merge with the stolen goods in the royal family, so he was framed and framed, saying that he embezzled money and salary, and the imperial merchant blamed him, killed his father, and exiled us female relatives to be subordinates. ”
Speaking of this, Tsing Yi had always had a little mist in his eyes that had changed his mood, and then said: "My mother saved some private money on weekdays, and she sneaked out with me the day before the punishment came down, but on the way to escape, my mother was seriously ill, and we spent all our savings, and finally ......"
What happened in the end, Mo Yingge also knew, listening to what happened to Tsing Yi, Mo Yingge couldn't help but feel distressed, obviously it was not easy to get rid of the fate of being a subordinate, but who knew that it was just creation and making people, in the end it was forced by life, such as the sharp blade Baifu to be a subordinate.
Xiao Ying was also a little distressed by Tsing Yi's experience, and secretly glanced at her own young lady who seemed to be a little interested in Tsing Yi, and then she was a little relieved, Xiao Ying is not a small-minded person, but because she has learned a lot of things during this time with Mo Yingge, she also knows that her eldest lady is a person who wants to do big things.
Although Mo Yingge never said it on weekdays, Xiao Ying could also see that Miss was very thoughtful.
Since you want to achieve great things, then connections are indispensable, and a few more people who can be used under your hand are still good for Mo Yingge, so, after thinking about it like this, Xiao Ying took the initiative to say: "Miss, I think Sister Tsing Yi is really pitiful!" ”
Mo Yingge looked at Xiao Ying a little funny, and it could be seen that Xiao Ying also felt sorry for Tsing Yi's experience, and she had always been a kind girl.
Although Mo Yingge intends to reuse Tsing Yi, it is only necessary to guard against people, she plans to observe for a period of time to see, the last time Lu Mingzhu came to her yard to make trouble, Mo Yingge was very satisfied with Tsing Yi's reaction.
Although these actions are small and subtle, they also show Tsing Yi's awe and respect for her from the side of her hair. Mo Yingge thought of this, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Mo Yingge opened his mouth and said, "You just said that my father asked me to go to the study to discuss matters?" ”
Tsing Yi nodded respectfully and replied, "Miss Hui's words are like this. ”
Mo Yingge now has a headache when she hears the words "study discussion", if she can, she really doesn't want to see Bai Guoan's hateful old face again.
Tsing Yi suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "That's right! Miss, the slave maid suddenly remembered that this news seemed to be ordered by the girl in Aunt Lu's yard! ”
Tsing Yi thought with some fear, fortunately he remembered this matter in time, otherwise if the eldest lady went to the study and found out that it was fake news, wouldn't he be guilty?
Mo Yingge thought thoughtfully, took Xiao Ying's hand and got up, and said softly: "It's okay, doesn't Daddy want to see me?" Let's go over there, Tsing Yi, and you can follow along. ”
Tsing Yi thought he had heard it wrong, although there were many maids and wives in Bai Luoshui's yard, but only Xiao Ying was the only one who could enter the house, and it was rumored below that it was the eldest lady Bai Luoshui's suspicion was too heavy, and she was really a girl who had been in the countryside and couldn't see the world.
But Tsing Yi never participated in this kind of discussion, only felt that the eldest lady was a person who valued privacy, and never thought of taking the initiative to please anyone in order to climb up.
At this time, Tsing Yi was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said to Mo Yingge: "The slave obeys the words of the eldest lady." ”
Tsing Yi's reaction made Mo Yingge nod with satisfaction in his heart, although Mo Yingge did not directly give any promises, but as long as he is a smart person, he should be a mirror in his heart.
When she arrived at the study, Mo Yingge really saw Lu Mingzhu's mother and daughter who were bored looking at her again, Bai Ningzi was affectionate, Bai Guoan said something, her little face was white and red, her mouth was closed one by one, and Mo Yingge really felt a headache when she looked at it.
It's just that today's battle seems to be really important. It's a little confusing.
