Chapter 167: The fight has begun
But for now, Mo Ju is quite diligent in her work. When everything was done, Xia Sihan sat aside and instructed her to do it and cut the chicken into cubes. Mo Ju also did a good job, which made Xia Sihan a little sideways, and her sword skills were beyond Xia Sihan's expectations.
"You've done it in the kitchen before?"
Xia Sihan asked her, Mo Ju stopped what she was doing and said in a rough voice: "Well, the slave used to help in the restaurant, and she was kicked out because she broke the guest's food plate, but she didn't expect to meet Madame, she took pity on me and bought me back, young lady, I will definitely serve you well!" ”
A trace of sincerity flashed on Mo Ju's face, Xia Sihan didn't answer, just nodded, and after she cut the chicken, she tied her apron and started cooking, Mo Ju watched from the side, and when Xia Sihan was ready, Mo Ju also remembered about it. This kind of craft is not something that can be learned overnight, and Xia Sihan is not in a hurry.
"Next, let's make vinegared fish fillet, you look carefully, I'll make it again, and I'll leave these two dishes to you in the future, remember?" Xia Sihan reminded her that she originally wanted her to remember the process, and as for the taste, she still needed more practice.
How do you know that Mo Ju nodded heavily, saying that he remembered everything, Xia Sihan didn't care, it depended on the taste if he remembered it or not. When the two dishes were ready, Xia Sihan gave her the stove and asked her to stir-fry. Seeing that her posture in charge of the spoon really seemed to be a thing, Xia Sihan also took off her apron and sat aside.
At this time, Xiao Jiu came over, and it was time for dinner, Xiao Jiu went straight to the kitchen, and saw Xia Sihan sitting there watching a little girl cooking, frowning slightly. "The owner."
Xia Sihan turned his head and saw that she was back, got up and ordered outside, "You guys bring the dishes to the front hall." Then he took Xiao Jiu out first.
The two chatted while walking, and Xiao Jiu saw that there was no one around, so he said: "Dongjia, I took them to train just now, I wanted to go to the back mountain to breathe, guess who I saw?" ”
Xiao Jiu's mysterious look made Xia Sihan curious.
"Who is it?"
Xiao Jiu said a name close to her ear, and Xia Sihan was stunned.
"Do you see clearly?"
"The subordinates saw it really, and the children also saw it, and the subordinates told them not to talk nonsense, so as not to invite death." Xiao Jiu's face was serious, Xia Sihan naturally wouldn't doubt her words, but how could Xia Yingxue appear there with a man?
She couldn't figure it out, but her instincts told her that there must be something wrong with it. Thinking that it would be a poetry meeting in a few days, she sneered in her heart. Whether it's for yourself or not, you'll know when the time comes.
"Xiao Jiu, when the poetry meeting is held in two days, you will disguise yourself and go in, and see if the man also goes in."
"Does the owner suspect that they are trying to frame you again? It's despicable to come a second time if it's not enough once! ”
Xiao Jiu's face was filled with righteous indignation, Xia Sihan smiled bitterly, "This is just the beginning, in the future, there will be open guns and hidden arrows, we can't guard against it, we can only be more careful." ”
After going through so much, Xia Sihan saw it, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, there was nothing she couldn't face, and the people who had died once were still afraid of them? Xiao Jiu saw a flash of disdain in her eyes, knowing that she had her own deal in her heart, so she was relieved and followed her to the front yard.
Mother Li was already sitting at the dinner table, called them over, and said with a smile: "I saw that you and Jinyan were busy a few days ago, so I didn't tell you, those maids are all smart, so I thought about giving it to you, why didn't I see them?" ”
Xia Sihan sat next to her mother-in-law and said affectionately: "Thank you mother, I let them sweep in the yard, let Mo Ju follow me, that is, the little girl who looks the strongest, let Xiao Jie come over in the future, the two of them are of the same age, just to be a companion, she will come over immediately." ”
"That's fine." Mother Li knew her concerns, although Li Jinyan was obedient to her, but in the end, he was a man, if he saw a room full of girls, how could he not make a mess? She understands her son, Jin Yan will not do such a thing, but she can't stand those maids with ulterior motives to make them bad. No one would dare to do that now, but maybe in the future.
Mother Li had no opinion on Xia Sihan's arrangement, but those people in Xia Sihan's courtyard were not so easy to accept. Originally, the Li Mansion was very lax in the management of its subordinates, because several of them came from the countryside, and they had sympathy for people from the same background.
However, they are also really from large families, and laxity does not mean indulgence. Xuemei and the others were assigned the dirtiest and heaviest work as soon as they entered the yard, which was normal, but she couldn't stand her arrogance, although she didn't dare to make trouble in front of Xia Sihan, but the two people who came with her suffered.
Xuemei's work was done by the two girls, which caused the rest of the yard to be very dissatisfied. As a newcomer, work is the most basic, but you can bully those who are younger than yourself, which means that the subordinates of the Li Mansion have no rules, but they know how to be grateful.
Xia Sihan doesn't treat them badly on weekdays, but today when they see Xuemei doing this, they can't stand it anymore.
At this time, Mo Ju and the people in the kitchen were waiting for the master to eat in the front hall, and Xia Sihan was eating a few plates of stir-fried vegetables, and he was just about to praise a few words, when he heard a noise.
Xia Sihan frowned, only to see a few maids hurriedly running over and kneeling in the front hall.
"Young lady, the new Xuemei is very much in the yard Mother Liu is fighting!" Xia Sihan frowned and stared at the people in the hall, seeing that they all had blood marks on their faces, he was suspicious in his heart, but he asked Xiao Jiu to bring them over at the moment.
The next person gathered to make trouble, and if she was in her previous life, she might be able to open up the net, but today, it is a good opportunity for her to stand up.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Jiu came over with Xuemei's arm and threw her directly to the ground, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Xuemei's eyes, Xia Sihan saw it in her eyes and didn't say a word.
"Madam, young lady, the old slave is guilty, please punish the two masters!" Mother Liu came in and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, Xia Sihan just looked at Xuemei and asked, "How do you explain?" ”
Xuemei knelt on the ground, straightened her waist and replied: "Young lady, Xuemei knows that she is wrong and is willing to be punished, but Xuemei is puzzled, she is also a subordinate, why Mother Liu can dictate to us and ridicule us by relying on her old man." ”
"You fart! It's obvious that you bullied those two little girls, and you won't let us say it if you don't work yourself! ”
Mother Liu's mother had one swollen eye and blood stains on the corner of her mouth, but Xuemei didn't have any scars except for a little abrasion.
Xia Sihan sneered, looked at her mother-in-law, Mother Li didn't raise her eyelids, she ate by herself, and just said softly: "Everyone is in your yard, you can deal with it yourself!" ”
"Yes, Mother." With her mother-in-law's words, Xia Sihan was much more relieved.
