Chapter 3: Mama
What did she say at the time?
She remembered that she easily believed Aunt Luo's words at that time, and thought that she would do things by herself, and never let Tong Jianian be involved in this matter.
She handed over the kite to Aunt Luo, and then she was called to Songhe Hall, where Mrs. Tong lived. After hearing that the wound on Tong Jiaqi's forehead would leave a scar in the future, the eldest aunt Jiang was seriously angry with her for the first time, and Mrs. Tong was also angry with her because of this incident.
Tong Jiayan still remembers that Tong Jiaqi hated her because of this incident, saying that the scar on her forehead reminded her all the time that she caused Tong Jiaqi's beautiful face to have an indestructible flaw.
Since then, she has been working against her and stumbling on her.
On the contrary, it was one of the people who caused this incident - Tong Jianian, who was not offended at either end, and there was nothing at all.
……
"Miss, combed up, does it look good?"
Green's words interrupted her distraction.
Tong Jiayan looked at the mirror, chuckled and nodded: "It's good-looking, it's really good-looking." ”
Lu Wu pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, Miss, you are good-looking, so the slave and maid will look good no matter how you comb your hair." ”
Tong Jiayan shook his head with a smile and did not speak.
If she could, she would rather not have such a face, as long as she could be safe, with her father and mother, and her brothers and sisters, even if it was bland, even if it was ordinary, it didn't matter.
At this moment, a high reminder of the green orange sounded outside the house.
"Mama Zhao is back."
A "burly" woman in a brown gown and a golden hairpin walked in with her hands and feet, and as she walked, she glanced at Qingju, who had just returned from pouring water, and scolded loudly: "I told you to stay in the house to take care of the young lady, why did people come in from the outside in the blink of an eye?" A dead girl, I saw it if I was lazy and slippery, be careful of your skin! What about Miss? Are you awake? ”
While asking, he walked straight to the inner room, his voice was loud, his steps were hurried, and he didn't mean to be lighter at all, and he didn't care whether the people inside woke up or not.
Beyond the screen of the covering, Mama Zhao walked straight in, looked at the bed at first glance, and after finding that there was no one, her eyes turned and landed in front of the dresser.
Tong Jiayan had already finished grooming, heard the movement, and turned his face.
Green Turnip stood beside her.
I don't know if it's because of the dim light, Mama Zhao found that Tong Jiayan's eyes were not as deep as before, and when she looked at her, she actually gave people a feeling of fear.
She shook her head secretly, blaming herself for being too worried.
"Miss, are you awake?" Mama Zhao walked towards her, a usually friendly smile squeezed out of her round face, and when her eyes swept over the green grass standing on the side, she quickly crossed a trace of dissatisfaction.
Tong Jiayan nodded: "Where did Mama go?" ”
Mama Zhao smiled and said, "The slave estimated that Miss You would be hungry when you woke up, so I hurried to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat." ”
"Oh, I see. My grandmother still knows me, and I'm really a little hungry. Can Mama find anything ready-made to eat? Tong Jiayan looked at Mama Zhao with a trusting expression and said.
Mama Zhao's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly said: "The slave has already asked, living in the village is not as good as at home, there are people waiting in the kitchens every day, and if the young lady wants to eat, as long as she is instructed, someone will make it immediately." The housekeeper of the other village runs at both ends of the house all day and night, and the three meals are only burned when they are finished, and now it is not yet to eat, and the cow steward's family has just rushed from her house, and it will take a while to get a good meal. Miss, if you are hungry, the slave maid sees that there is still a leftover red bean porridge in the kitchen in the morning, why don't you bring you a bowl? ”
As Mama Zhao's body approached, Tong Jiayan smelled the faint fragrance of lard brought from her.
The smell of this lard is very light, and if you don't smell it, it will be difficult for others to notice it. Tong Jiayan has developed an extremely sensitive nose due to the experience of his previous life, and his sense of smell is extremely sensitive to others, so he will notice this difference.
"What's wrong with Mama's mouth?"
"What?" Mama Zhao was stunned.
Even Qingju and Luwu were attracted by her words and looked at Mama Zhao at the same time.
"...... here" Tong Jiayan pointed to the corner of his mouth to signal her, his expression was very curious, "It seems that a mole suddenly grows." ”
Qingju's eyes widened, and he almost laughed.
Lu Wu also pursed her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.
Mama Zhao touched her mouth in confusion, and suddenly her hand flickered, and she touched a small black and wet thing at the corner of her mouth on the left side.
She took it down and looked at it, and found that it was actually a watermelon seed.
It must have been accidentally glued to the watermelon when she was stealing watermelon in the kitchen.
Mama Zhao's face turned red suddenly, and she hurriedly looked at Tong Jiayan's face again.
Tong Jiayan looked at her with an innocent expression, as if he was still waiting to hear her explain to her.
"This, this, this ......"
"It's watermelon seeds!"
She didn't say this for a long time, and finally Qingju turned around and explained to Tong Jiayan.
"In the morning, when the cow steward came to greet the young lady, he brought two large watermelons, saying that they were grown in his own farm, the largest and roundest two, and he specially brought them over for the young lady to taste." He turned sideways to Mama Zhao and asked, "Mama, you just went to the kitchen to see if the watermelon ice is good, right?" ”
Tong Jiayan showed such an expression when he heard this.
"So Mama, this is ......"
"The slave is going to help the young lady taste whether the watermelon sent here is ripe or not, if it is an unripe melon, it must not be eaten by the young lady." Mama Zhao had no choice but to follow Qingju's words and hurriedly remedy herself.
As soon as her words fell, Lu Wu had already hung her head silently, so that no one could see that she was secretly rolling her eyes just now.
Qingju pouted directly.
"Oh, I see." Tong Jiayan nodded and made a deeply moved look, "It's still Mama who is attentive to me." ”
"Look, Miss said, these are all things that slaves and maids should do."
Mama Zhao saw that she easily believed this set of statements that she had made up temporarily, and she couldn't help but think proudly that Miss Seven was still as simple and easy to deceive as before, or that Miss Seven would believe whatever she said.
"After tasting it, did she think the watermelon sent by the cow steward was ripe? Is it ready to eat? ”
"If you can eat it, you can eat it, it's ......"
"Green."
"The slave is here." Luwu stepped forward.
Tong Jiayan glanced at Mama Zhao: "You go to the kitchen and call the cattle steward, I want to ask her, whether the land in Tongfu is too poor, or they are too lazy." Why can't you even grow a watermelon when the wind and rain are good this year? ”
Lu Wu bent down: "Yes, the slave will go to find the cow's sister-in-law." And then the man went out.
"Oops, hey, wait!" Mama Zhao hurriedly took Luwu's hand, turned her head and smiled at Tong Jiayan, "The slave hasn't finished talking yet, and the young lady is too anxious." It was a complaining tone.
