Chapter 31: Help
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was no one in the vegetable market, and there was no one to ask for beheading.
It's just that this time period is very reminiscent of executions everywhere.
In the stone pavilion, the young master and Miss Yu were drinking tea, and I was waiting on the side.
"Sister Yu, listen to Qingzhu, you have something to look for me."
Then he took a sip of tea, and then said to me: "Liu Qingzhu, remember to put more tea next time, this tea is tasteless, do I seem to be a person who lacks that tea money?" ”
"Got it, young master, I'll pay attention next time."
Miss Yu felt very interesting, covering her mouth and snickering.
"You are very interesting to the master and servant, the master does not have the appearance of the master, and the maid does not have the appearance of the maid, but you make me envious of this."
The young master joked: "You like the job, I can give you Qingzhu to learn the rules, what do you think." ”
Miss Yu just shook her head, saying that she would teach others.
"Qingzhu, the tea is gone."
I pretended not to hear, looked around, and actually tried to give me away, although it was a joke, but it was also unforgivable.
When Miss Yu saw this, she immediately smiled from ear to ear.
"Sure enough, in the entire Liufu, you are the most humane and humane."
"It's just that I haven't taught her a lesson lately, and I'm a little fluttery, if you come back in the evening, I promise she will be absolutely obedient."
Do you think so, Qingzhu. ”
What?
Seeing the young master's familiar smile, I suddenly remembered that yesterday afternoon, in order to write a word, I was asked to write until my hands trembled.
"Young master, I'll fill it for you, do you need to rub your shoulders, it's very comfortable."
The young master was very satisfied with my sudden flattery, and he had to show off to Miss Yu.
"You are not master and servant, but like a pair of brothers and sisters, junior, it seems that you should spoil her very much, but remember not to lose your proportion."
Miss Yu's words instantly sobered me up, and I was indeed a little presumptuous with the favor of the young master.
But when the young master heard it, he was not very happy.
He said unhappily: "Okay, Sister Yu, what do you want me to help you when you come to me?" ”
Miss Yu knew that what she had just said made her brother unhappy, and she didn't want to continue to go around in circles, so she simply said it directly.
"Little San, I want you to help me check someone."
The young master said very happily: "No problem, let me help you find out who it is." ”
"Zheng Jie, the son of Linhai County Shou, is also my future husband."
"What?"
"That's right, I'm going to get married in two months, so I have to know who he is."
"Sister Yu, you dare to marry a stranger before you have even seen him?"
"I've only seen the matchmaker, saying where the other party is good, and how dare I marry or not, the life of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, the rest depends on whether my life is good or not."
After hearing this, the young master was silent.
Then he still spoke: "I can ask Uncle Zhao to send someone to Linhai to inquire about Zheng Jie, and there will be news back in about ten days at the latest." ”
"Okay, I can afford to wait."
The young master wanted to speak again and again, but he still said: "Sister Yu, if the news comes that that person is a gentleman, what will you do." ”
"Accept your fate, what else can I do, can I still kill him, and then I will cut myself off."
The young master said with some concern: "Sister Yu, will you?" ”
"Of course not, I married to represent the face of Liufu, as long as our father is not in trouble, their family will treat me well, and provide me with good food and drink.
Even if Zheng Jie is really a gentleman, I think that with my own means, I will not be far behind. ”
The corners of Liu Wen's mouth twitched, his sister, she really saw the problem clearly.
Ordinary people really can't play with her. I don't know whether to pity her, or to sympathize with that Zheng Jie.
"Little San, then I'll go first."
"Sister Yu, I also ask you for something."
"What's the matter?"
"In the future, can you call me junior."
Miss Yu frowned and thought about it, and she didn't know what was wrong with calling Xiao San.
I interjected and said, "It must be because Xiao Er is the second in the shop, and the third is one level lower than Xiao Er." ”
"Oh, I see, then I'll call you Xiao Ming in the future."
Liu Ming: ...
Why is it that my purpose has been achieved, but the effect is so much worse?
After Miss Yu left, the young master pointed into my ear and said softly: "Erya, do you know how to write the three words "shopkeeper" beautifully." ”
I reluctantly smiled and said to the young master, "Young master, I don't want to know, what should I do." ”
"It's okay, it'll look good if you write it a few more times."
That's right, for a whole afternoon, I wrote "Shopkeeper Er" brilliantly.
It's an exaggeration to say that he is superb, but he is about to have the usual level of the young master.
At night, Liu Wen finished his day's official duties and returned to Liufu from the government in a sedan chair.
Liu Lao waited in front of the mansion gate all the time, ensuring that Liu Wen got on or off the sedan chair at the mansion gate, and he was waiting on the side.
When the sedan chair arrived, Liu Lao hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the curtain to let Liu Wen come out very decently.
"Old Liu, did the maid send it?"
"Back to the master, the maid sent it, and sent four, but the young master didn't ask for any of them."
Liu Wen said as he walked: "Old Liu, who did you ask to send it?" ”
A seemingly casual sentence is actually very sinister.
"Back to the master, it's Mrs. Qian's mother-in-law."
Liu Wen stopped and looked at Liu Lao with an unkind expression, he didn't believe that the old servant who had followed him for many years had fallen to Li Lu.
"I seem to have said that you should do it yourself!"
"Master, it's not that the old slave doesn't want to do it himself, the maids, cooks, and old women in the house are basically managed and distributed by the lady, how dare I interfere."
"Hmph, go to Qingzhuyuan."
Next, there is a daily conversation between a father and son in the study.
"Why, don't you take it?"
"I don't need it, your hypocritical kindness!"
"Do you say that about your father?"
"Yes, I am"
Liu Wen was immediately furious, but he still endured it, after all, he ignored him before.
But it is also to consider, if Liu Ming is always by his side, how can Li Lu bear it.
But after coming and going, he really forgot.
"Forget it, Ming'er hasn't eaten, I'll still eat here with you tonight."
"I've used it, so please go."
I didn't know what was going on in the study, and I didn't know who was inside, but I honestly came in with the food.
"Young master, my mother-in-law made chicken soup tonight.
Master, what's the matter, don't you like to drink chicken soup? ”
Because I looked at the young master frowning, and then covered his forehead with his right hand, and sighed at the same time.
At the same time, I also saw the master, but the master was looking at the young master with a smile.
I hurriedly greeted the master, "Good evening, master."
"Girl, it's good that you're here, otherwise I would have been driven away by your master, and Liu Lao will reward you."
"What?"
What have I done and where am I?
Then he took the money bag handed by the old man with a blank face.
"You go down first, and inform Wang Po to add two dishes and chopsticks."
"Oh."
And I went back to the kitchen and told the young master what the young master had ordered.
"The master is here?"
"Hey, mother-in-law, how do you know?"
"Erya, in the next few days, you will be tired, but I will let you rest a little more in the morning."
I was confused again, especially when Wang Po looked at me sympathetically.
What exactly did I do?
