Chapter 41: Two dishes and one soup
"Why is there so much food today?" Wen Yi looked at the lunch with two more dishes and one soup on the table than usual, is there a happy event in the house on this day? Or is it the special treatment that the person gave her as a pawn?
"This is what the second lady specially instructed the kitchen to make for the young lady." Xiaocao looked at those dishes, and also frowned, yesterday her young lady had an unpleasant quarrel with her, and today she asked the kitchen to make two more dishes and one soup for them, she couldn't help but wonder, these dishes are okay, right?
"Miss, or we'll withdraw these two dishes." Xiaocao looked at Wen Yi's thoughtful expression and asked tentatively.
"No, let's eat." Wen Yi's entourage came back to his senses after thinking about it, and said to Xiaocao, who was still worried: "Don't worry, it's okay."
Although she couldn't understand why she did this to her, her intuition told her that the man's mind was no better than buying a dog that didn't bite, she didn't have so many twists and turns, and the things she sent were edible, and if the latter sent them, she really needed to take them down.
Since her own young lady said so, Xiaocao had nothing to hesitate about, and also ate with her.
"Miss, why do you think Second Miss is doing this?" Xiaocao chewed the braised pork that tasted good in his mouth and said.
"Maybe it's because I praised her a few words and made her heart bloom, so she asked people to make me these dishes?" Wen Yi guessed.
Xiaocao nodded again and again, indicating that this answer was a bit reliable.
After eating, Wen Yi was half-lying down to dry his belly, while Xiaocao was cleaning up the scraps on the table.
"Xiaocao, when you went to the kitchen to get lunch, did you hear any gossip?" Wen Yisui opened one eye and looked at Xiaocao's back and asked, she couldn't think of the reason why Wen Yiyu did this, so she had to see if she could start from the gossip and speculate on the reason why she did it.
Although she can eat the things she sent, she doesn't know the reason behind it, and she doesn't dare to eat it all the time.
"I heard a little, but I don't know if it counts." Xiaocao stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Wen Yisui, and was not sure to answer.
"Tell me about it." Wen Yisui suddenly came to her senses, she simply sat up and listened to Xiaocao finish speaking.
"Yesterday, the third miss went out from us not long ago, didn't the second miss chase out, I heard that after the second miss chased out, the third miss did not let her in, but let her eat the closed door, and finally finally, the second miss said that she should not be taken care of in the future." After Xiaocao finished speaking, she kept looking at Wen Yisui.
Wen Yisui was also looking at Xiaocao, and seeing that she hadn't spoken, she asked uncertainly, "It's gone?"
Xiaocao replied: "It's gone."
"It's short." Wen Yisui felt bored and lay down again.
"Whether it's short or not is not something that Xiaocao can decide." Xiaocao turned around with a flat mouth and continued to do her own thing.
"It's not interesting yet." Wen Yisui continued to complain, Xiaocao didn't speak, and continued to do his own thing.
After a short period of complaining, Wen Yisui began to think, Wen Yiyu's reason for doing this should be to fulfill her words, right? She didn't care about Wen Yi's painting, so she came over to 'take care of herself?' So that your own sister is jealous?
Thinking about it like this, it doesn't seem right, with her identity and thoughts, even if she doesn't care about her own sister, it's impossible to get closer to her as a concubine, right? So what could make her behave like this?
Wen Yi thought about it casually, her head was about to burst, and she still couldn't think of a reason, so she had to attribute the reason to what she thought before, that is, to be angry with her own sister, and it would be over after she was angry.
It's just that when she thinks of Wen Yihua and her scheming, she can't help but pray in her heart, hoping that she won't settle the total account of this matter on her head in the end.
Wen Yi thought that the two sisters had a temper tantrum, and the trouble should be over after a while, but she didn't expect that the matter was not over yet, and her dinner had two more dishes and one soup.
She looked at the extra dishes on the table in confusion, and couldn't help but sigh, how could other people's affairs be involved in her, she really didn't want to be the one caught between them.
After hesitating for a while, Wen Yisui said to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, you take these two dishes and one soup back, saying that I can't eat so much." Also, if this happens again next time, don't take anything you say. ”
"Miss, Xiaocao knows." Although she didn't understand why her young lady ate the two dishes and one soup at noon, but asked her to send them back in the evening, since she didn't say it, she wouldn't ask, so she just did it.
Xiaocao had just sent the dishes back, and Wen Yiyu, who received the news, immediately came to the door.
"Wen Yisui, why did you return the two dishes and one soup I gave you to the kitchen?" Before Wen Yiyu entered the door, the voice came in first.
Hey? She actually called her by her name, instead of calling her ugly, something is strange, Wen Yisui looked at Wen Yiyu who was angry and walked towards her, and pretended to be calm and said: "Because I can't eat it."
But she couldn't calm down, she just asked Xiaocao to return the things, she arrived, it seems that the reason why she asked people to make her two dishes and one soup at noon today should not be vomiting with her sister, there should be other reasons.
She couldn't think of what the reason was, but she was extremely glad that she had only eaten one meal from her, and she didn't know what kind of ordeal would await her.
Wen Yiyu didn't know what Wen Yicasi was thinking, she only knew that if she didn't eat, she wouldn't be able to become fat sooner and faster, so she was anxious and urged: "If you can't eat, you can eat a little, it's better than not eating at all."
Wen Yiyu repeatedly asked her to eat, and Wen Yisui was even more sure that the thing couldn't be eaten, so she replied firmly: "Eat a little bit of everything, and throw out the rest, it's too wasteful, I can't bear it."
"In order to achieve great things, a little waste is nothing." Wen Yiyu is in a hurry, and it is easy to speak without going through the brain, no, just what she said just now, don't say Wen Yisui, everyone present heard the clue.
Wen Yi realized it later, but he also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately remedied: "If you don't eat better, don't raise yourself for nothing, when the time comes, when you go to the capital, your ugly appearance will definitely affect my marriage, so you hurry up and eat those things." After the words fell, her maid brought over the two dishes and one soup that Xiaocao had just taken back to the kitchen.
What she said just now can be regarded as a remedy for the gaffe just now, but Wen Yisui didn't believe it at all, she looked at her, and then looked at the food in the maid's hand, her face became more and more heavy, and she always felt that what the other party asked her to eat was not a vegetable, but a poison, at this time she couldn't help but wonder if she had thought wrong before.
"Eat, eat, eat, hurry up, raise yourself for nothing." Wen Yiyu didn't notice Wen Yisui's face and said casually.
"Are you going to raise me like a pig?" Wen Yisui finally couldn't help but speak. "Or is there some other purpose?"
"I don't have any purpose, I just want you to be whiter and better-looking." Wen Yisui's question made Wen Yiyu stunned, and she hesitated for a moment before answering with a smile.
"Why?" Wen Yiyu didn't believe that her purpose was just to make her fat.
Even if her purpose was to make her fat, how could she suddenly become so anxious? It's like wishing she would be white and fat tomorrow after eating today.
"Didn't I say that before? For the sake of going to the capital, I don't want to be dragged down by your ugly appearance. Wen Yiyu rarely turned his head fast.
In order to make her reason more convincing, she continued: "Didn't you take fourteen taels of gold from me a few days ago, saying that you wanted to buy something to make up for yourself, and to nourish your appearance? Now you don't have to pay for it, I'll help you out, you just need to eat everything I prepared for you. ”
"Does your mother know about this?" Wen Yisui suddenly mentioned the Bai family, and her intuition told her that maybe her change was related to the Bai family?
"I don't know, but even if she knew, she wouldn't object." Wen Yiyu spoke again without going through his brain.
"Then does your sister Wen Yihua know?" Wen Yisui tried again.
"She doesn't know anymore, I don't plan to tell her about it now, my mother should make it clear to her later."
It was Wen Yiyu's last sentence that made Wen Yisui boldly guess, her change in herself was likely to be something she heard from the Bai family, and the Bai family knew that her identity was just a chess piece, so could she think that Wen Yiyu knew her identity as a chess piece from the Bai family, and also knew her task?
Thinking of this, Wen Yi was ecstatic in her heart, but she couldn't resist showing it on her face, intending to slowly put her words out.
"Then can you tell me now about what you will say to your mother and sister when the time comes?" Wen Yishou looked at Wen Yiyu and showed a smile that she thought was very sincere.
Wen Yiyu didn't speak at first, Wen Yisui didn't speak anymore, the two looked at each other for a while, and finally the former spoke first.
"Let me go out."
Hearing this, Wen Yisui knew that there was a play, and she smiled more sincerely, if it weren't for the other party's ancient identity, she would have wanted to hug each other.
After everyone went out, Wen Yisui: "Say it, I'll listen to it."
"How do you know I have something to say to you? What if I just call them out and make them think I have something to say to you, when in fact I don't say anything? Wen Yiyu couldn't help but be clever, and looked at Wen Yisui as smart.
"That's really a problem." Wen Yisui frowned, pretending to be embarrassed.
"But you said it yourself, you called them all out, in their opinion, you must have told me something, so even if you didn't tell me anything in the end, I would make them feel that you said it, because you didn't say it, I can 'help' you say." Wen Yisui smiled back.
Wen Yiyu, who was in the army, couldn't laugh, she decided to dig a pit for herself, and she jumped down stupidly, and she was still complacent afterwards.
