Chapter 122: The Phantom of the Hou Mansion (4)
Ye Chengxuan also said: "Yes, little sister, we have found a lot of rare objects outside in the past two days, and after dinner, the eldest brother will take you to take a look." ”
Ye Mengmeng nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, big brother." ”
Ye Jingjing sat quietly watching and listening, and did not interject, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
Wen smiled: "Okay, okay, as soon as you father and daughter brothers and sisters talk endlessly." You see, the food is going to be cold, so let's talk about it after eating! He instructed the maid to bring the soup and vegetables.
After a while, the maids rushed in and walked in with delicate porcelain plates.
Hou Mansion these days because most of the shops and Zhuangzi are coming back, of course, the days are a lot better, not as embarrassed as before, when encountering important days, you can also see the delicacies of the mountains and seas that are usually rare in the meal.
Ye Mengmeng has just returned home today, and Hou Ye's father and son are also going home today, so Wen was overjoyed and ruthless, and spent dozens of taels of silver to renovate this exquisite dinner.
So the family sat down in their usual positions and began to eat.
Ye Mengmeng and Ye Jingjing are sisters, so they naturally sit together.
Standing behind Ye Mengmeng and serving are Biyue and Yundie.
Hou Ye and Ye Chengxuan, father and son, talked about things while drinking. Wen listened intently to the conversation between father and son, so no one paid attention to the sisters.
At the beginning, Ye Mengmeng and Ye Jingjing were both quite reserved, eating silently, and no one spoke.
Ye Mengmeng ate relatively quickly, and soon a bowl of rice bottomed out.
"Miss, still have a bowl?" Biyue hurriedly asked in a low voice.
"No need, just give me a bowl of soup."
"Okay," Biyue hurriedly put a bowl of fresh soup in front of the young lady.
Yun Die also leaned over and asked, "Miss, don't you like purse loin the most?" Two more? ”
"No, that thing is delicious, but if you eat too much, you can just drink some clear soup."
Ye Jingjing raised her eyes and glanced at Biyue and Yundie, glanced around, and said casually: "Hey, the eldest sister has changed girls?" The third sister remembered that in the past, only Yundie and Yuncui were the little girls who served the eldest sister for dinner. Why didn't you see Yuncui's girl today? ”
Ye Mengmeng paused and raised her eyes to look at her.
"The third sister seems to care about Yuncui very much?"
"I just remembered it suddenly."
Ye Mengmeng smiled slightly: "Yuncui didn't come back with him today, and stayed in Zhuangzi." ”
"Oh, that's the case, Zhuangzi can't be busy?"
"It's not that I can't be busy, there are some things that need Yun Cui to stay there."
"Oh, I see, no wonder you used to like two girls so much, and you were always inseparable from them, but now you don't see Yuncui." Ye Jingjing turned her head to look at Yun Die carefully, and said with a smile, "However, Yun Die and Yun Cui are indeed very capable, no wonder you like them, even me, and I am also envious." ”
"Oh, really?" Ye Mengmeng looked at her outside.
"Isn't it? Eldest sister, you two girls, Yun Cui is lively and outgoing and can speak, what about Yun Die, she is both smart and lovely and can write and calculate, so that the two girls are beside you, aren't they picking up treasures? ”
Ye Mengmeng raised her eyes to look at Yun Die, and said with a smile: "Did you hear that?" Yundie, the third lady has given you a very high evaluation. ”
Yun Die blushed, lowered her head and said softly, "Third Miss said that she laughed......"
Ye Jingjing said: "Who said it was funny? Miss Ben is not so boring, what Miss Ben said is true. Alas, if I had such a capable girl, would I have to wake up laughing when I fell asleep? ”
"Third Miss......" Yun Die was even more embarrassed.
Ye Mengmeng squinted at Ye Jingjing, and her expression seemed to be smiling. "Third sister, is this true?"
"Of course!"
"It's easy to do!" Ye Mengmeng said with a smile. "Since the third sister likes them so much, what's so difficult about this? I'll give you the cloud butterfly now. ”
"Really?" Ye Jingjing's eyes widened in surprise. "Sister, you're not kidding, are you?"
"How so? Eldest sister, I'm a man of my word. ”
Ye Jingjing shook her head and smiled: "Eldest sister, I don't believe it, are you really willing to give me Yundie?" ”
turned his head to look at Yun Die, but saw Yun Die standing in a daze, completely unresponsive to what was going on.
"What's there to be reluctant to? We sisters, what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours, what else do you share with each other? Ye Mengmeng patted her chest and said generously.
Ye Jingjing stared at her, and a smile gradually overflowed from the corners of her lips.
"Eldest sister, you really gave me Yundie, will you regret it?"
"Why regret it? Third sister, eldest sister heard that you supported 100,000 taels of silver, this time you helped the eldest sister a lot, the eldest sister is grateful, not to mention one girl, it is ten girls, as long as the third sister likes it, the eldest sister will not hesitate. Ye Mengmeng's expression was very sincere.
"That's good," Ye Jingjing turned her head to look at Yun Die, and asked with a smile, "Yun Die girl, your master gave you to me, are you willing to do it yourself?" Or do you have something in mind? ”
Yun Die bit her lip tightly, and her face turned pale. Suddenly, she knelt in front of Ye Mengmeng with a "plop".
"Miss, if the slave does something wrong, the lady will punish her, but don't dislike the slave and maid......" said as his eyes turned red.
Biyue looked at this scene in surprise, not knowing what to do.
Ye Mengmeng frowned, and before she could speak, Ye Jingjing spread her hands and said with a smile: "Yes, eldest sister, take a look, I'll just say that Yundie is a good girl, not only capable but also loyal, since people have decided that you are her master, how can they still follow me?" ”
Ye Mengmeng ignored her, looked down at Yun Die, frowned, and said, "What are you doing?" Get up, and don't kneel at every turn. ”
"No, Miss promised not to dislike it...... I dislike the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid get up ......"
"Who dislikes you?" Displeasure appeared on Ye Mengmeng's face, "The third miss is my sister, serving her is like serving me, what's the difference?" What's more, the third lady is gentle and kind to people, and she has a shop, so I am afraid that you will be even more like a fish in water if you become her girl. I'm thinking about your future, too. ”
"No, miss, slave...... Slaves...... I can't bear to miss ......"
"What's reluctant, you're not ......"
Ye Jingjing saw that Yun Die's eyes were full of tears, and when she saw that she was about to drip down, she seemed to be a little unbearable, so she hurriedly stopped Ye Mengmeng and said, "That's it, eldest sister, the third sister is talking to you about playing, are you still serious?" As the saying goes: a gentleman does not win the love of others. Although the little sister is not a gentleman, since Yundie, this girl, has recognized you, you should cherish this master-servant friendship, why bother with her? ”
"Oh?" Ye Mengmeng looked at her with her eyebrows, and said lightly, "I really don't want it?" Sister, am I serious? ”
Ye Jingjing shook her head and said, "No, eldest sister, thank you for your kindness, little sister really doesn't want it." ”
Ye Mengmeng nodded, looked down at Yun Die, frowned, and said, "Don't get up yet?" ”
