Chapter Seventy-Three: The Will of the People (I)
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was white, Liu Yunyun was woken up by Xiaoxiao, rolled in the warm quilt for a while, and didn't dare to lie in bed in the end.
Sister-in-law Zhang, the cook, carried a huge food box and walked to the courtyard where Liu Yunyun lived temporarily, and greeted the courtyard door enthusiastically as she walked: "Xiaoxiao girl, the second highness specially brought the milk slave maid specially prepared for Miss Liu Er." β
Xiaoxiao was putting on Liu Yunyun's shoes, and when she heard Sister-in-law Zhang calling herself, she hurriedly handed over the work in her hand to Huanhuan, and glanced up at Liu Yunyun, Liu Yunyun nodded at her slightly. Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, casually dusted off her somewhat wrinkled dress and ran out of the house, lifted the curtain and ran out of the house, facing the Maitreya Buddha who was standing in the courtyard looking at herself and smiling like Sister-in-law Zhang, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her arm, and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you Sister-in-law Zhang!" How can I work for my sister-in-law to send it over in person early in the morning? Didn't you say okay, I'll just go to the kitchen and get it? It's too cold this day, let's go into the house to warm up. β
Sister-in-law Zhang patted her smiling little hand and said with a smile: "Look at what you girl said, this is not what we should do as slaves?" What a polite way to be with your sister-in-law. Did Miss Liu Er get up? Mr. Wan has told him a thousand times, and he can't delay it today! β
"Hehe, I got up early, I've already cleaned up, just waiting for the Second Highness's orders."
smiled and gestured to take the food box in Sister-in-law Zhang's hand, but Sister-in-law Zhang retreated and said no, you pushed me all the way to the house.
Liu Yunyun sat in front of the dresser in the room and combed her hair by Huanhuan, her eyes looked at the thick cotton curtain at the door, and when she heard Sister-in-law Zhang's enthusiastic voice shouting What Second Highness, she frowned, turned her face to look at the ebony gloomy golden silk nan's dresser that Mr. Wan specially explained to himself yesterday, the whole dresser was smooth and neat without the slightest carving decoration, but all the facets were like broken golden sand shining with a jeweled luster, especially as now, The dawn of dawn shines obliquely through the window lattice, and the entire makeup surface is as smooth as a breeze-blown silk in the sunlight.
Liu Yunyun raised her hand and gently brushed the table surface of this golden silk nanmu, looking at the wood grain like water ripples, the advertisement of "Dove Chocolate" involuntarily flashed in her head, which is really "indulgent silky"!
Gee...... This feudal landlord capitalist has silver, what a luxury! Alas...... I don't know if I will quit in the future, can I apply with the "big leader" and move this dresser as an "employee benefit"?
Xiaoxiao took Sister-in-law Zhang into the house, took the food box carried by Sister-in-law Zhang and put it on the table next to her. Liu Yunyun stood up with Huanhuan's hand, greeted Sister-in-law Zhang with a smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, I still work for you to run more, thank you." β
Sister-in-law Zhang is the sister-in-law of the second prince's nurse, she has been living in the countryside since she was a child, the second prince has built this courtyard since she was fifteen years old, and the nurse has the consent of the second prince, and this sister-in-law Zhang was taken to this courtyard by the nurse of the second prince, and she is a kitchen man, and her husband is also doing work in this courtyard, that is, the old coachman who took Liu Yunyun to the courtyard, and the family is now living in the second prince's courtyard.
Sister-in-law Zhang is cheerful and simple, honest and responsible, and she has served the second prince of Gui Mao'er in another courtyard for many years, so she will not laugh and laugh, and her behavior is very rudimentary.
Seeing that Liu Yunyun got up to greet her in person, her cheeks immediately flushed with excitement, and she knelt on the ground with a "bang", respectfully and respectfully, and kowtowed to Liu Yunyun in a proper manner, "The old slave meets Miss Liu Er." β
Liu Yunyun was stunned by this sudden kneeling flash, and hurriedly walked over to help Sister-in-law Zhang, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Oh, you don't have to kneel to me, I'm not a master. β
Sister-in-law Zhang was helped up by Liu Yunyun, hurriedly took a step back, rubbed her hands awkwardly, and said, "The old slave is dirty, don't stain the hands of the second lady again." β
"Hurry up and show Sister-in-law Zhang." Liu Yunyun looked at the smile standing behind Sister-in-law Zhang, turned her head to look at Huanhuan again, and motioned for her to help Sister-in-law Zhang sit down.
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite, we came to this courtyard, and we are also causing trouble for you."
"Oh, yes, and milk." Sister-in-law Zhang was helped by Huanhuan to sit down, but she didn't dare to sit down, only touched half of the chair, said a few polite words, remembered that she was here to give milk, and quickly looked back and said with a smile.
Xiaoxiao came in with milk, Liu Yunyun took the still hot milk, looked at Sister-in-law Zhang and asked, "Is there any milk here?" β
"Yes! I boiled a bowl of it, enough for the second lady to drink! Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly smiled, Liu Yunyun raised her eyebrows, looked at the smile and commanded: "At this time, I think that the second highness is not used early, you will go to the small kitchen with the sister-in-law Zhang in a while, and take this milk to the second highness and send a bowl of it, if he asks me, he will say that I stayed up all night yesterday for that plan, and I was worried about getting up early, and I slept very unsteadily at night. Xiaoxiao blinked his eyes a few times, repeated it in his heart, and felt that he had remembered it, so he nodded to Liu Yunyun.
"Second Miss, the old slave has retired first, and you can also eat breakfast with peace of mind. Well, there are a lot of old slaves in the food box to prepare breakfast for you, you can taste them, there are those that are appetizing, you can ask the smiling girl to bring a message to the slave maid, and the old slave will retire first. β
"Okay, then I won't leave my sister-in-law, you can also go back and rest quickly, it is hard to get up early in the morning to work." Liu Yunyun wanted to stand up and send Sister-in-law Zhang, but Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly refused, "You don't need the second lady to send it, the old slave and the smiling girl are together, you don't need to send it, you sit, sit down." β
"Okay, then you go slowly." Liu Yunyunfu sat down again, looked at Sister-in-law Zhang and smiled.
Xiaoxiao and Sister-in-law Zhang agreed to quit, Xiaoxiao rummaged left and right in the small kitchen, and finally found a snow silver stew cup with a cup of hot milk, mustered up the courage to go out of the small kitchen, found a small servant to guide the way, and went to the courtyard of the second prince Zhou Minhao to deliver hot milk.
Liu Yunyun watched Huan Huan bring the food box, suddenly remembered, looked at Huan Huan and said, "Oops, I just forgot to give Sister-in-law Zhang a red envelope." β
Huanhuan took out the food in the food box and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "My second miss, do you still need to remember this matter, and then order?" Don't worry about it, Xiaoxiao is ready early in the morning, and there are more than a dozen purses on your body at any time, specially used to reward people. β
"Oh." Liu Yunyun rested her chin on her hand, leaned on the table, and muttered: "I'm really not used to being kneeled around by these old people, and I also owe it to those big capitalists who can stand it?!" When they are young, they are worshiped by the elderly, and you say that they don't feel empty-hearted? Don't you feel that this behavior is contrary to the teachings of the saints? β
Huan Huan glanced at Liu Yunyun, "How can this be weak-hearted?" The saint also taught us to 'have rules and know how to be humble', and a master like you is estimated to be the only one in this world, alas...... Sometimes I think about it, it's also me and Xiaoxiao who are lucky to meet a temperamental master like you, if you were sold to other places back then, I don't know what the situation is now. Huan Huan said and became sentimental.
"Oh yo, my little beauty is now starting to learn to grieve the autumn moon? Alas, alas...... Sure enough, I grew up! Say, "Do you want me to bring peace over?" You can also accompany us to celebrate the little beauty, feel sad together in autumn, mourn a fallen leaf or something? Liu Yunyun tilted her head and teased Huanhuan. She knows that in fact, these little girls, since the day they were sold by their parents, have been sad and lost in their hearts, and they already know what "sadness" is at a young age.
In this world, anyone can betray themselves and hurt themselves, but not their relatives! Once you are hurt by someone closest to you, the scar in your heart is difficult to erase! Only by not touching this scar will you make yourself happy, and once you touch it, it will only be bloody.
Liu Yunyun has no way to turn back time to help Huanhuan or the smiling parents and family members who were once poor, and can only use the emotions within her ability to warm their injured young hearts.
"Miss......" Huanhuan stomped her feet in protest, a rosy flush flew up her cheeks, "Hmph! I'll go pack up my things, you can eat by yourself, and ignore you. Huanhuan was mentioned to peace by Liu Yunyun again, and she was ashamed in her heart, so she twisted her waist and ran out of the inner room.
Liu Yunyun laughed, looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, wow, there is her favorite crystal shrimp dumpling, Liu Yunyun is happy in her heart, working for this capitalist, this food welfare is really good! Looking back, I can ask Sister-in-law Zhang to make some more fresh shrimp rice rolls, raw fish fillet porridge or something, to satisfy my cravings!
After Liu Yunyun finished eating, patted her slightly propped belly, smiled and trotted into the house with a curtain, with joy on her face, she hurriedly bent her knees at Liu Yunyun, and ran to her, holding a pen ingot that only weighed five taels in both hands Ruyi red gold and said excitedly: "Second Miss, look! This is a reward from the Second Highness to the slave maid! His Royal Highness the Second Highness had already gotten up, and when he saw me going, he was stunned for a moment, and he was very kind in the back, and said that the second lady had a heart, saying that this would let people prepare a thick bedding, and change the carriage to the second miss with a less bumpy one, so that the second miss could comfortably take a nap in the carriage for a whileβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
Liu Yunyun jumped up from the chair without waiting for the smile to finish speaking, and while draping the cloak on her body indiscriminately, she waved her hand and ordered: "You guys are here to watch and pack up things, I'm sleepy, get in the car and lie down first, turn around, whoever you are, go to my car and wait, okay, I'll get in the car first!" Liu Yunyun lowered her head all the way and tied the cloak, walked quickly to the door to tie the cloak, and went straight out through the courtyard, smiling and hurriedly instructing Huanhuan: "You follow the second lady to wait, there is me here!" Huanhuan agreed, ran two steps, turned around and ran back, pulled off the thick cotton cloak from the hanger very quickly, draped it on his body, and chased out with his skirt.
