Chapter 687: Diao Nu
687
In the evening, the sky is full of colorful clouds.
A carriage with a red oil wall came from the gate of the Chaoyong Mansion, and a person got out of the car. Not tall, not short, not fat or thin, white and quiet, with two mustaches, and a pair of eyes that shine.
He was dressed in satin and had a pair of thick-soled boots on his feet.
The gatekeeper recognized this person as the housekeeper of the old mansion of Xu Guo, and since Zhong Ye was sealed, there were often dignitaries and dignitaries who came to visit, but Zhong Ye didn't see him much most of the time.
The family of the Zhong Mansion stepped forward, and before he could speak, the housekeeper of the Xu family said with a kind smile: "I don't know if the grandfather is in the mansion?" ”
The gatekeeper was instructed and said, "Grandpa has gone out and hasn't come back yet." What's the matter with you? You can leave a word, and we will convey it on behalf of Grandpa Zhong when he comes back. ”
The housekeeper smiled and said, "It's okay if Grandpa isn't at home, but it's okay to ask the housekeeper to come out." ”
The gatekeeper did not know what he was up to, and he could not do it himself, so he said, "Wait here for a while, and I will go in and speak to our butler." ”
"Thank you for that." The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion saluted the gatekeeper.
At this time, there were also a few subordinates in the door who probed their brains to look out, and this family went in alone to report the news.
The gourd was sitting in the courtyard embroidering flowers, and the gatekeeper stepped forward and said, "Butler, there is someone outside who asks to see you." ”
"Which one?" Hulu asked idly.
"It's from Xu Guo's hometown." Said the gatekeeper
"What did the Xu family send someone to do? L Hulu rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you tell him that Grandpa wasn't at home?" ”
"Of course the little one said it," the doorman hurriedly said, "But he said that it was the same when he saw you, and the little one can't say that you are not at home." ”
"Want to see me? That's interesting, so I'll go see it! The gourd stood up as he spoke, holding in his hand a half-done needlework, a handkerchief embroidered with orchids.
The gourd walked very slowly, and there was a subordinate in the middle to talk back, he stood there and confessed a few words, and when he came out, the housekeeper of the Xu family was waiting at the door, without the slightest impatience, and took the initiative to step forward and salute the gourd.
The gourd took it loud and said, "I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”
The chief housekeeper of the Xu family said: "Our master has always wanted to come to see Grandpa Zhong, and he knows that his grandfather is busy with official business and cannot be idle, so it is inconvenient to disturb him. I also thought that there might not be a competent person around the grandfather to serve, so I sent two clever girls to serve the grandfather. ”
Hulu had been listening with a smile, and when he heard this, he showed a sudden expression of realization and said, "I see! Your lord is really thoughtful, these people in our house are lazy and slippery, and they are all virtuous with me. Indeed, it is time to bring in two clever newcomers. ”
"The butler laughed, this is just a part of our master's heart." The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion said with a smile.
Saying that, he clapped his hands, and the curtain was lifted and two young maids came down from inside, although they were wearing subordinate clothes, and they were not ostentatious, but just looking at their bodies and faces, they were first-class beauty embryos.
The two of them walked hand in hand and walked to the gourd, bowed down, and suddenly a fragrant wind floated.
The winter melon next to the gourd couldn't help but sneeze, and the sound was so loud that the two maids were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
"Ouch, it's really tight." As he spoke, the gourd took the hands of the two women, and said while rubbing: "This is thin and tender, and the nails are so long, you can't do needlework at first glance." Originally, I wanted to stay by my side and be a helper, but it seems that it will not work. ”
The gourd housekeeper laughed, and the two of them were literate. When the grandfather was studying, they could accompany each other and even write letters on their behalf. The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion explained.
Hulu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Our grandfather doesn't read much, and he doesn't have any correspondence. But since you have kindly sent it, we can't afford not to accept it. In this way, there are still two people in the house who are short of growing vegetables, so let them stay and grow vegetables. Winter melon, what do you say? ”
Winter melon was smirking and listening to it, but he didn't expect the gourd to mention his name, so he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then nodded again and again: "Let's make it, let the two of them accompany me to grow vegetables!" The two shepherd's cabbages should also be watered with dung. ”
The two maids immediately showed a disgusted expression, although they were not from a rich background, they had never suffered when they were young, and they were raised with brocade clothes and jade food, let alone let them do this work, just hearing it made them sick to death.
"The gourd butler is really funny." The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion tried to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere: "These two maids can also make good soup porridge, it is better to ......"
Before he could finish his words, the gourd suddenly changed his face, jumped up and threw the handkerchief in his hand directly at his face, and scolded: "You bastard under the pheasant!" You haven't been at peace since the next life! Stuffing these two vixen-like things here, it's clear that they want to squeeze me away! Then you're here to be the housekeeper! ”
The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion was confused by his scolding, and couldn't help but be annoyed, and said: "I'm doing things for my master, and besides, it's out of good intentions, it's too much for you to spew people with blood like this!" ”
"Are you a fool for me? How can I be the steward of this house? Isn't it because the food is well cooked?! Hulu sneered: "Now you dare to snatch my job openly, where do I have half a good word for you?!" Tell you to get out of here, or the two buckets of manure that water the vegetables will be splashed on you! ”
The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion saw that the gourd was really unreasonable, and said: "In this case, let's go first!" But it's not over, you're just a housekeeper, to put it bluntly, you're a minion, what do you have to be arrogant?!
The gourd took a sip and scolded: "If you scold your grandfather, you will scold you, but I am better than you, not just a lackey like you!" To tell you the truth, I am the only one who has the final say in this family, and I can't change it to my grandfather! If you don't believe it, he will come back in a while, you see, is he able to control me or can I control him?!
Just as he was talking, Zhong Ye came back from horseback, and the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion hurriedly rushed to Zhong Ye's horse as if he had seen a savior. On the other hand, he didn't forget to push the two demonic maids towards Zhong Ye.
Zhong Ye naturally understood what was going on when he saw this situation, Xu Guolao wanted to win him over now, but Zhong Ye would never want to go along with him.
"Why did you come back so late? Cooked meals are going to be cold, don't you know?! Hulu said to Zhong Ye with a straight face: "If you dare to leave these two little sluts behind today, I will burn this courtyard with a fire." ”
Zhong Ye blinked his eyes twice, and sure enough, he didn't say a word, and went directly into the mansion, and the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion was dumbfounded.
"Well, do you see it now? Do you think I'm bragging? The gourd tilted his chin and looked arrogant: "See, grandpa is a slave, and he has to take care of the master, if you don't accept it, go back and try it, and see if your master will knock down your lower half!" ”
