At the dinner table, the young master and the princess both ate quietly with vegetables, and they ate very slowly, which is the so-called food without saying anything.

In the past, I used to eat at the same table with other sisters, and I ate very quickly, and I ate quickly with each other's dishes.

Although the big ones of us will take care of the younger ones, it is also based on being fed.

When I first came in, I was also taken care of for a while, and there would be a good sister to help me with the dishes, and when I got used to it, there was no more care.

The maids usually eat quickly, because we still have work to do, and we have to be ready to listen to the masters or stewards at any time, and the grandmothers have said that the Liufu does not raise idlers.

A person who often swallows a lot, and you suddenly want him to chew slowly; It is really uncomfortable for a person who is used to being rude to eat to suddenly make him pay attention to relevant etiquette.

In order not to be ugly, I also learned from the young master and the princess, chewing slowly little by little, carefully savoring the taste of each dish, at this moment, I am like a rich lady.

Usually, eating is just to fill my stomach, never to taste it carefully, and I don't have time or conditions, just swallow the food from my mouth.

And now, it's slowed down, it feels good, no one is robbing me, you can eat what you like, and you won't worry about endless work.

However, I still can't adapt to it, and once a habit is formed, it is not so easy to change.

Although the young master and the princess ate slowly, they also ate quickly.

I wondered if I should put down my chopsticks or put them down.

Hey, I still have to put down my chopsticks, although I still haven't eaten enough, and my stomach is only seven points full.

I really want to continue eating, the dishes that the young master eats are not something that the maid's meals can catch up.

There is stir-fried meat, or fine meat (lean meat), there is vegetarian stir-fried cabbage core, there is tofu crisp, and there is sour fish soup.

There's so much left, and if you throw it away, it's a waste, and I want to eat it all.

These dishes can only be eaten by the maids during the New Year's holidays.

When everyone put down the chopsticks, Wang Po said, "Erya, go get hot water to wash the young master's feet, and I'll stay and clean up." ”

"Yes, mother-in-law."

After saying that, he went to get the copper basin and went to fetch hot water.

There will be people in the house to boil hot water according to the time to meet the needs of the masters, and it is very close to the firewood house.

Although it was already dark, there were lanterns hanging up and down the Yanagi Mansion, so the way to the firewood house was still very clear.

As I walked along, I felt as if someone was calling me from behind me, and I turned my head to look.

There was a person who should be about the same age as me, but she was better looking than me, her skin was as white as jade, and her long hair was bright, even if it was dark at night, she felt that she couldn't take away her brilliance, and at first glance I thought it was a girl from a big family.

If it weren't for the copper basin in her hand, the same as mine, I would have believed it.

"Sister, did you just call me?"

"yes, which yard are you, why haven't I seen you."

"My name is Qing'er, you can also call me Qingzhu, I just entered Qingzhu Courtyard, so my sister hasn't seen it."

"It turns out that you are Young Master Ming's maid, your life is so good, I am the maid of Young Master An of Youlan Courtyard, Lan Xin, usually call me Sister Xin."

Sister Xin said, her voice became low, her face was gloomy, but in the end, she raised it again, thinking of Young Master An's rumors, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for Sister Xin.

Anyway, I have an extra sister, and I have more to rely on in the house.

In this way, we met to fetch water together, and when we came back, we parted at a courtyard gate.

When I returned to the courtyard and entered the young master's study, the young master and the princess were talking, as if they were talking about me.

"Young master, what do you think of Erya?"

"It's okay, stay, it's time to find someone to help you, you've worked hard for so many years."

"The old body is not hard young master, and I have been ordered by the young lady, for so many years, I dare not be unwilling."

"yes, my mother has been gone for so many years."

The wind outside the door has been blowing for a long time, but the body still can't help it, and accidentally sneezes.

Wang Po said coldly: "Come in, Erya, it's not good to wait for the water to be cold." ”

"Yes, mother-in-law."

After speaking, he hurriedly brought water into the study, not daring to hesitate at all.

Brought to the young master's feet, ready to take off his shoes for the young master, and then wash his feet.

The young master opened his mouth and said, "Go down, Erya, I'll take off my shoes." ”

My face froze, and I whispered, "It's the young master." ”

Then he stepped aside, waiting for my command.

"Erya, you go back to the room to sleep first, you have to get up early, young master, just have me."

It makes me think, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, I just heard about me and wanted to hear about it.

At this time, I really want to give myself a slap in exchange for the young master's forgiveness, how to forget the rules taught by Mama, and not to eavesdrop on the master's speech.

But I still don't have the courage to slap myself, because it's contrived and disgusting, and it hurts when it's heavy, so no.

I walked away slowly, and each step was heavy, as if there were a thousand pounds of iron and stone on my legs.

Then he gently closed the door, sighed, and turned to walk towards the west wing.

In the west wing, I was lying on my bed, but I couldn't sleep, thinking that I might leave Qingzhuyuan tomorrow, how could I sleep.

Tossing and turning for a while, but I still can't sleep, thinking about what happened today, alas, resigned to fate.

After a while, Wang Po came back with a lantern.

Come to my bedside and say, "Get up, Erya, I know you're not asleep yet." ”

Hey, it's still coming, it's a curse or a blessing, but I can still struggle.

I quickly got out of bed and knelt down, and said very pitifully: "Mother-in-law, I was wrong, and I will never dare again." ”

Wang Po said sharply: "It's good to know that you are wrong, get up, relax, the young master and I will not drive you away in a short time."

But in the future, you must keep your mouth tight, don't stretch your ears, and don't tell people outside the courtyard everything about Qingzhuyuan and the young master.

Otherwise, it will be easy for me to clean up your little maid in Liufu, just like swatting a mosquito to death. ”

Although Wang Po said that she could get up, I still didn't dare.

But fortunately, in a short period of time, I will not be driven away, thinking about this, I feel relieved, and the stone in my heart has finally landed.

"Get up, sleep well, go fetch hot water tomorrow morning, and wait for the young master to wash.

By the way, the young master is usually self-reliant, and there are some things that the young master likes to do alone, such as dressing, washing your face and feet, etc., as long as the young master tells you, you will do it, don't make your own decisions. ”

I said cheerfully, "Okay, mother-in-law." ”

Give me an errand, and that means I won't be kicked out tomorrow.

Then, Wang Po was taken out of her arms and handed it to me, which was the piece that the young master left for Wang Po.

"I guess you didn't eat enough, it was specially reserved for you, and in the future, you eat slowly until you are full, and the young master will not blame you."

I almost jumped for joy, but I restrained myself with reason.

In the end, I lay in bed again, imagining the days to come, the merciful master, the hard-mouthed and soft-hearted mother-in-law, should be said to be not too bad in the future.

In this way, I slowly fell asleep, this was the first time I slept soundly in Liufu, as if life had found meaning.
