CHAPTER XXXIII

Because Mingxin Xiaozhu has always had lunch half an hour in advance, when Pan'er Mian'er walked out with a food box, it happened that Yucong's yard had not yet started to pass food.

Yu Cong was lonely and lonely in front of the window, wearing a thick jacket, holding a small copper stove in his arms, bored, looking up to see Pan'er Mian'er wearing red and green walking far away, seeing the two of them carrying food boxes, relaxed appearance, it was estimated that Pear Flower Pavilion had finished eating early.

Yu Cong remembered Xu's instructions, Yu Jun wanted to practice the etiquette of the sacrifice ceremony, and he definitely couldn't disturb her, Yu Yan needless to say, she didn't want to see herself at all, Yu Wan, she didn't bother to play with her, thinking that she didn't help herself talk, but turned to Yu Yan, Yu Cong's heart swelled with unspeakable anger.

Yu Cong clenched her little hands, ran down from the railing with her short legs, and ran into the main house with a hum.

In the evening, the kitchenette brought dinner to Yujun.

Caizhu said to Yujun: "Miss, you will get up tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't even have time to eat breakfast then." It's better to ask Mian'er to make breakfast and send it before midnight tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Yujun shook her head firmly and said, "After eating, drinking, washing and cleaning up in the small kitchen, it's almost time." If I am allowed to have a fresh breakfast before the end of the day, I am afraid that they will have to get up at three o'clock tomorrow to make breakfast. In this way, they will only be able to sleep for two hours tonight. Why bother so much? ”

Yujun said: "I see, it's better for Mian'er to make some pastries for us tonight, and we will leave some pastries for tomorrow to cushion our stomachs." ”

Hearing this, Caizhu Caixiu nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right." ”

Yujun said: "Tomorrow, the colored beads and colorful embroidery will accompany me to the ceremony, and Rui Shuangcui'er will stay to see the courtyard." ”

Yujun said and said, "Caizhu Caixiu, what pastries do you want to eat." ”

Caizhu said: "I want to eat plum blossom cheese candy cake, and star anise cake filled with bean paste." ”

Caixiu spat at her: "You're too embarrassed to say it, Miss hasn't said what she likes to eat, so you can say it first." ”

Caizhu said: "What I said is what Miss likes to eat." ”

Yujun smiled when she heard this: "That's it, let's get three portions of plum blossom cheese cube sugar cake, and two portions of star anise cake stuffed with bean paste." Give me another yam cake with jujube paste. What do you like to eat? ”

Cai Xiu asked and said, "Follow Miss." ”

Yu Jun said: "Then, let's have three portions of the food I just said." ”

Mian'er lowered her head and smiled: "How can there be a reason for a slave to eat the same as a master." Saying that, Mian'er smiled and pointed to the colored beads and said, "Miss say something else." ”

Yu Jun thought for a while when she heard this: "Fang Cai's food is for the colorful beads and embroidery to prepare two servings, I'll prepare a copy of the autumn word sugar flower burn, and then a Yue Nu pipa fruit." ”

When Mian'er heard this, she smiled and agreed.

In the evening, Wen Duan came back very late because he was socializing with Lord Yu, so he specially ordered Wang Zhong to send a message to the Xu family without waiting for him.

When Xu Shi heard this, he held the copper stove in his arms and sneered: "Are you really socializing with Lord Yu, or don't you want to come back?" “

Yu Yan sat according to Xu's family, munching melon seeds, and said to Wang Zhong according to Xu's words: "If Dad doesn't come back outside, aren't you afraid that we will bully Yujun?" With Yujun, a poor child living in our Bitao Courtyard, even if Dad doesn't want to come back, he should come back early! “

Wang Zhong listened to Yu Yan's words bitterly and meanly, and couldn't help but sweat a drop of sweat on his forehead.

Liuzhu stood behind Xu and placed candied fruits, smiling at Wang Zhong as he posed.

Xu said: "It's nothing, since he wants to socialize with Lord Yu, it is inevitable." The wind is louder outside, so I'll pack you a thick gauze cloak of big satin and bring it over, and if the lord comes back in the evening, he will come back with that gauze, which is warmer than the robe he wore when he went out this morning. ”

When Wang Zhong heard this, he felt relieved, and this was like what a housewife should say, Wang Zhong hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully: "How did the slave forget, the jacket that the master wore when he went out today was not warm enough, and the slave was really damned!" This kind of dressing thing, the slave should have thought about it, but he even had to think about it and remind the lady, he was really not worthy of being this portable minion. ”

When Xu heard this, he smiled: "You should be a portable minion, you have to think about who the master sees every day, who should be seen and who should not be seen, and it is not an easy errand to talk to the master all the way for fun." I am the wife-in-law of the master, and it is only right to think about these things about dressing for the master. ”

Wang Zhong hurriedly said: "That's nature. Mrs. is always Mrs., the pillow person of the master, the intimate person, and the companion of the master for life. The clothes must be seen by the lady, so that people can rest assured, how can we, the slaves, know the cold and the hot like the lady. ”

was so praised by Wang Zhong, Xu reluctantly felt that he had regained the decency and dignity of his wife.

Xu Shi put on a standard satisfied smile, reached out and took a handful of melon seeds from Yu Yan's hand, placed them on the pleated lotus leaf gold plate on the table in front of him, and said to Wang Zhong: "This melon seed is rewarded to you." When the master comes back late, you will accompany you over there, and you will be bored in the end, so when the time comes, knock some melon seeds to pass the leisure. Eat more and talk less. Lest you pour a mouthful of cold wind! ”

Wang Zhong hurriedly smiled: "Thank you, Madame, for your kindness." The minion must keep his mouth shut, eat more and talk less. As he spoke, he grabbed the melon seeds on the plate into the sachet on his waist, tightened the sachet, and bowed to Xu's and went out.

Yu Yan was indignant and threw the salted melon seeds in her hand on the plate.

"I don't know what Wang Zhong has done, is it worth rewarding him?" Yu Yan said again: "This Wang Zhong is famous for not getting oil and salt. How many times have you sent someone to ask him about your father, but he didn't leak anything to your mother. Why should he be rewarded by you? ”

Xu said: "If you are not afraid of people not helping yourself, you are afraid that people will harm you." You can not help yourself, but you can't harm yourself. Wang Zhong is notoriously loyal to his master. You just said some mean words to Yujun, aren't you afraid that Wang Zhong will tell your father word for word? So I rewarded him with melon seeds, and asked him to gag his mouth, and don't talk nonsense! ”

Yu Yan said: "Can Wang Zhong understand your deep meaning?" ”

Xu nodded and smiled meaningfully: "Wang Zhong is a good person!" Of course he understands. ”

Xu said: "Ming'er, I want to get up early, although there are subordinates to participate in the ceremony, but as a housewife, I naturally have to get up early to entertain the second master and aunt." You go back to the yard and sleep first. ”

Yu Yan nodded and said "yes". And he withdrew.

Liuzhu said on the side: "Madam, the night is dark, the slave and maid will wait for you to sleep." You're going to get up tomorrow. ”

Xu shook his head: "What's the hurry, I haven't embroidered this twelve-colored forehead yet, so I have embroidered a color, and I'll wait until I embroider this orchid leaf forehead." ”

In the Pear Flower Pavilion, Yujun has not yet gone to bed, and the colored beads and embroidery are on the side to watch Yujun practice the etiquette of participating in the ceremony.

Yujun wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, her little face was slightly red, and she said to the colored beads: "You go to sleep first." On a cold day, I don't need your service, I'll wash myself later. ”

Caizhu Caixiu said: "This old lady is too, and there is more than one lady in the house, why should I appoint a young lady to accompany the ceremony!" In order not to make mistakes in etiquette, the young lady has practiced to this hour, and she doesn't sleep! ”

Yujun performed the peer ceremony, her little back was straight, and when she heard Caizhu speak like this, she raised her head and said sideways: "You can't say that." The old lady appointed me to go for my own good. This is the first time I have accompanied the sacrificial ceremony, which can allow me to meet the people in the second master's mansion, and it can also let me know more about etiquette. ”

Caizhu Caixiu snorted, clasped his hands on his knees, sat on the soft couch by the smoke cage, and pouted slightly: "The slaves and maids are distressed." ”

Yujun smiled: "Okay, you guys go to sleep." Ming'er, you two have to wake up early with me! ”

"The young lady doesn't sleep, and neither do the slaves."

As she was talking, Mian'er outside lifted the curtain and came in, handed the food box to Rui Shuang, turned to Caizhu and said, "You can't be greedy, everything here is for you and Miss Ming'er to eat in the morning." ”
