She sat down at the table, with a languid, casual attitude, like what she asked, so that people would only think that she was just idle and boring to ask casually.

The maid put down the dishes in her hand, looked at her sideways, and then lowered her head with a smile, and replied while arranging the dishes and chopsticks in front of her: "Second Miss, the slave maid is called Qing'er, Second Miss, the meal has been arranged, you use it first, and the slave waits in the yard."

As in the past, after the maid finished arranging the meal, she never chatted with her, and she had no interest in gossiping with a lowly maid before, so she let them go as far as she could, so as not to taint her mood for eating.

Can ...... today?

"Wait." She smiled, like everything in the autumn day, only she still bloomed a white lotus.

The maid was also stunned, because she had brought food to the second lady for several days, and she had never seen her smile so good.

After this stunned, the footsteps of walking out turned back.

"Second Miss, do you have anything else to tell the slave?" As soon as she spoke, she immediately thought of the small piece of broken silver that she had received in the morning, although it was only a small piece of silver, which was only pocket money to the young ladies, but to their inferior slaves, it was a monthly sum for several months.

As soon as her mind moved, her eyes immediately became a little restless, and she secretly looked towards Shu Churou's hand.

Shu Churou watched every move of the maid in front of her, and the maid's actions were exactly what she wanted.

She noticed that the maid was paying attention to her hand, so she moved her hand towards the purse around her waist very cooperatively.

Although the maid may not see anything through the table, her action can be regarded as a hint.

"Qing'er, the name is quite nice." She praised it, then beckoned, letting the maid come closer, "Qing'er, come here......"

The maid quickly glanced at Shu Churou's movements hidden under the table, and then turned back without the slightest hesitation, raised her feet and took two steps towards the table.

"Second Miss, do you have something to ask the slave?"

Given the morning, it was natural for her to think of this.

"No, I want you to help Miss do something for me today, and it won't take much effort for you to raise your hand."

Shu Churou's eyes were condensed, and there was a light smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very approachable.

But as soon as the maid heard what she said, her face immediately changed, and the second lady only asked about the eldest lady's room in the morning, so let her help at this time, what about it......

Then this matter must have something to do with the eldest lady.

Up and down the Shu family, except for Master Shu, who thinks he is fair, he doesn't know the relationship between Shu Qingci and Shu Churou behind his back, and there is no one in the Shu Mansion who can't see it.

Although this Shu Qingci has always been gentle and weak, and Shu Churou has always been a sideways person, but after the second aunt's several successive plantings, the subordinates in the house all understand in their hearts that this eldest lady's means are far more clever than the second aunt and the second miss, otherwise, this life should not be the eldest lady.

In this way, where does this maid's face dare to change.

"Second Miss, the slave maid, the slave maid is just an inferior maid, I'm afraid I can't help the young lady." The maid hung her head, even if she was worried about the silver tael in Shu Churou's hand, she didn't dare to take another look.

"Second Miss, the food is going to be cold, and the slave and maid will retreat first."

"Qing'er, you are a smart person, if you help me this time, I will naturally thank you when I lift this grounding in the future." Shu Churou didn't directly block the exit, but looked at the maid with a smile in her eyes and turned around, "You have also seen that my big girl in the Tilting Cloud Residence has demoted my father to the back kitchen, if you handle this matter well, my big girl in the Tilting Cloud Residence will be yours, how about it?" ”

She raised her willow eyebrows lightly, her bright eyes firmly locked on the maid who went to open the door, she could see that she was very flustered, she also knew that such a person was very easy to make mistakes, but at the moment she had no one to use, and she had no choice.

The maid's footsteps paused obviously, big girl! Although she is only the eldest maid of the second lady, her monthly salary is much higher than that of the inferior maid she is now.

She hesitated, but after thinking about the fate of her second aunt and Xiaolan who was relegated to the back kitchen, she stopped and lifted her feet again.

Seeing that the maid was about to open the door, at this moment, Shu Churou suddenly appeared from behind her, and suddenly stretched out a hand to press the door that was about to open.

The maid panicked, the food plate in her hand almost fell to the ground, she hurriedly took a step back, and looked at Shu Churou in panic.

"Second Miss, slave maid, slave maid really can't do that kind of thing against your will, please don't embarrass the slave maid."

Shu Churou looked at the maid kneeling at her feet, her eyes instantly turned cold, such a minion, if it wasn't for no one to use, she would never use this kind of person.

She was disdainful, but she still raised her hand and dragged the purse from her waist and threw it in front of the maid.

She didn't move, just leaned against the door and looked ahead with her eyes fluttering, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't do this, Miss Ben will see it with long eyes, but if you don't want to help me, heh!" Then I'm not as easy to say as you are. ”

She rolled her cold eyes, looked at the top of the maid's head, and said every word clearly.

"You have benefited from me before, you said that if I tell my father about this, saying that you took advantage of my grounding and deceived me many times, what do you think my father will do with the slave of the bully?"

Shu Churou smiled coldly, and in between words, she suddenly bent down and grabbed the maid's hair suddenly, forcing her to raise her head.

"Don't think that now that I'm down, a like you can step on my head, hum! If you listen to me honestly this time, this money will be indispensable to you, and if not, even if I am locked up in this room, I will still have a way to let you die in the well in the backyard. ”

The maid's pupils were dilated, and Shu Churou's terrifying and hideous face was reflected in her jet-black pupils, and she trembled and didn't say anything.

The well in the backyard of the Shu family is rumored to be full of maids who have made mistakes, and no one has ever dared to go to that well to fetch water.

"Heh......"

Shu Churou looked at the girl's trembling appearance, sneered, let go of her hand in a panic, got up and walked back to the table, and looked at herself as if nothing had happened, and picked up her chopsticks to eat the meal.

The maid fell to her knees and trembled for a long time, then turned around on her knees.

"Second Miss, what do you want the slave to do, slave and maid...... Just listen to the commands. ”

Shu Churou saw that this was done, and the smile between her eyebrows and eyes exploded instantly, silent and cold.

Just after the morning of the next day, the girls in Qinglan Courtyard began to get busy with the things at hand, Ye Hanyue, as a big girl, naturally didn't have to do those rough errands, but her work was not easy.

Another day is the day when Shu Qingci entered the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, since she promised Shu Qingci to accompany her into the palace, before entering the palace, you must always be familiar with the etiquette after entering the palace.

"Xiaoyue, your kneeling posture is too ugly, your waist should be lowered."

Shu Qingci sat in the courtyard, looking at the book on etiquette that he had just ordered someone to buy, and watching Ye Hanyue teach herself etiquette in the courtyard.

But don't look at Ye Hanyue, who knows quite the rules in front of her on weekdays, but now she really has to be considered according to the requirements, and there is really no one who is qualified.

Therefore, there are some places that she really can't see, and she has to mention them.

When Ye Hanyue heard this, she was annoyed in her heart, and simply pressed her lowered head directly to the ground.

"Miss, is this all right?"

Shu Qingci glanced at her, although this posture was still a little ugly, but at least the sincerity and respect were there, and she also heard that Ye Hanyue was a little reluctant to learn, anyway, there was still tomorrow, so she didn't want to force her so much, lest the people who had to force her to go didn't want to go.

"It's almost, let's rest for a while, I'm very tired from reading books." She closed the book in her hand, got up and pressed her somewhat sore waist, then looked at Ye Hanyue, who had already stood up, and said with a smile: "Today's fish haven't been fed yet, just now we have to rest, so we simply go and feed the fish, and it will save you some time to delay some practice later."

After saying with a smile, she didn't wait for Ye Hanyue to say that she didn't want to, so she walked towards the gate of the courtyard first.

Ye Hanyue glanced at Shu Qingci's helpless bending, quickly rubbed the aching knees that had just knelt down twice, and raised her heels to go out.

On the side of the back garden of Shu's house, there is a pool, and because the water in it is living water that can flow, the water in the pool is clear and visible every day.

Because there are dozens of red carp in the pond, Shu Qingci always comes here to feed these carp when he has nothing to do in the past, so as to be quiet and kill time by the way.

Although her life in the Shu family is much better now, and she no longer needs to hide from anyone everywhere as before, she has always maintained the habit of coming to the back garden to feed the fish every morning.

"Xiaoyue, it's not that I have to learn etiquette, it's just that you said it yourself, there are many noble women in this palace, and you and I are much lower than others here, if you and I make a fool of ourselves at the banquet again, then we won't lose our own face." Shu Qingci sat sideways on the wooden bench on the side of the pavilion, and from time to time the green onion white little finger twisted a few gray-black fish food and threw it into the pool under the pavilion.

She looked at the fish food calmly, and was swallowed into her stomach by the carp competing for food for a moment, and then looked back at Ye Hanyue.
