Chapter 56: Good luck today
"What the hell is going on?"
As soon as she went out, Zhiyue grabbed Zhiqiu, she was very curious about the flower banquet.
"I'll be back to you when I'm done shopping." Zhiqiu Road.
Zhiyue nodded.
In the afternoon, Zhiqiu and Zhiyue were busy helping Gu Qinghuan take care of the next room, and the matter of cloth vegetables was handed over to Shi Xia, who managed the small kitchen of Xihuan Courtyard.
Gu Qinghuan sat on the chair and looked at the girl who was busy at the table.
Looks mediocre, the skin is a little dark, looks honest, what is impressive is that the girl is half a head shorter than herself, and her height is like a child, if she is thrown into the pile, I am afraid that she will not be able to find it in the next moment.
This is her other second-class maid, Shi Xia.
Shi Xia has an honest personality, even a little rigid, and has good cooking skills.
Gu He valued Shi Xia's character of admitting death and being loyal to his master, so he was relieved to hand over the small kitchen of Xihuan Courtyard to her.
"Shi Xia."
Gu Qinghuan remembered that this should be the first time she saw Shi Xia since she was reborn.
In fact, in her previous life, she rarely talked to Shi Xia, she didn't like such a taciturn person before, until she experienced those intrigues in the theater later, she knew how rare this kind of loyal person is, who does more things and talks less.
"What do you command?" Shi Xia spoke, perhaps because he rarely talked to people, and his voice was a little hoarse.
As she spoke, she put the washed chopsticks in Gu Qinghuan's hand.
Gu Qinghuan didn't rush to eat, but asked, "In the mansion, do you have any familiar maidservants?" ”
Shi Xia was stunned, not understanding Gu Qinghuan's intentions, but still said: "There is one who washes dishes in the big kitchen, called Ah Xiu." ”
"What's your personality?" Gu Qinghuan asked again.
"It's not the same as a slave."
Shi Xia said honestly: "Ah Xiu is outgoing, and many people like her. ”
"You too?" Gu Qinghuan joked.
If Chu Xuan was here, she would inevitably condemn her with the eyes of a hooligan.
Shi Xia nodded, his expression unchanged: "Ah Xiu is very good." ”
"Ask her if she'd like to come to my yard to be a rough maid."
Gu Qinghuan said: "Recently, there seems to be a shortage of manpower in Xihuan Courtyard. ”
Shi Xia blinked, if she remembered correctly, there were originally three rough maids in the courtyard.
"Yes, miss." Shi Xia didn't ask much.
"Another ......"
Gu Qinghuan changed his words, "Let her inquire about my cousin's situation." ”
Shi Xia was stunned again: "This kind of thing ......"
Aren't they usually done by listening to the rain?
Although Tingyu is just a maid who dresses Gu Qinghuan, she is outgoing and can eat anywhere.
Gu Qinghuan wanted to know anything, and he left it to Tingyu to inquire.
However, Shi Xia caught a glimpse of Gu Qinghuan's faint eyes, and immediately said, "The slave will relay Miss's words to Ah Xiu." ”
"Hmm." Gu Qinghuan saw that Shi Xia didn't ask much, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
Although Shi Xia is a little rigid, he is not dull and has the potential to polish.
After eating, Shi Xia packed up his dishes and left, turning his head to go to the big kitchen.
Before I entered the door of the large kitchen, I heard a lively sound inside.
"Ah Xiu! Are you still napping? It can't be lazy, right? ”
"Go, go, go! Look at the sink, the bowls are all washed! ”
"Oops! It's really done! is worthy of Ah Xiu, his hands and feet are neat. ”
"Hey, that's not what you just said!"
"Do you still have a grudge?"
"Isn't that right? Huh! What do you eat? I'll take a look! ”
"What about the grudge just now? Iron-clad Ah Xiu! Just a handful of pumpkin seeds, for you! ”
In the big kitchen, everyone joked.
Shi Xia walked in, and at a glance saw a thin little girl in a gray cloth dress, after begging for half a handful of pumpkin seeds from an aunt who looked kind and kind, she was looking for a place to enjoy her free time.
As soon as she raised her eyes, the girl saw Shi Xia, and her clever-looking apricot eyes lit up, "Shi Xia!" How did you get here? ”
With that, the girl ran over.
Shi Xia didn't say much, and pulled her to a corner outside the big kitchen.
Others are not surprised, Shi Xia is not sociable and often stays away from the crowd.
"Ah Xiu, it was Miss who asked me to come." Shi Xia said Gu Qinghuan's instructions again.
"Go to the eldest lady to be a rough maid?"
Ah Xiu's eyes lit up, "This is a great thing!" Shi Xia, thank you! ”
Even if it's just sweeping the floor in the courtyard, it's better than washing dishes in the big kitchen!
From time to time, I can brush my face in front of the eldest lady, maybe one day I will be promoted to a second-class maid?
Ah Xiu said: "The eldest lady wants to know the situation on Miss Tang's side?" I'll inquire now, and I'll tell you later! ”
Seeing that Ah Xiu was full of motivation, Shi Xia nodded: "Okay." ”
After thinking about it, Shi Xia said again: "You remember not to make it too obvious, Miss is not a flamboyant character." ”
Ah Xiu thought about the rumored arrogant and willful eldest lady, looked at the serious Shi Xia again, and couldn't help but say, "Do you have any misunderstanding about our eldest lady......"
Shi Xia looked at her fixedly: "Ah Xiu, if you come to Xihuan Courtyard, you can't do this." ”
When Ah Xiu heard this, he was also a little more serious: "I know." ”
Although Shi Xia is as unenlightened as a stone in the eyes of outsiders, Ah Xiu knows that Shi Xia is still very accurate in seeing people.
"I'll be a little more hidden." Ah Xiu nodded.
Shi Xia was relieved at this time, and she said again: "By the way, when you look for me, remember to avoid listening to the rain." ”
Ah Xiu was puzzled: "Listen to the rain?" I've heard that the eldest lady's favorite thing is to listen to the rain. ”
Shi Xia thought about Gu Qinghuan's attitude today, shook his head and said, "The situation may be different now. ”
Ah Xiu said, "Okay." ”
After speaking, Shi Xia left, and Ah Xiu grabbed the pumpkin seeds and walked to the kitchen, just in time to meet a girl with an honest appearance and a sad face.
"Sister Qingfei?" Ah Xiu's eyes rolled and she leaned forward, "Are you going to deliver food to Miss Tang?" ”
"Hmm." Qing Fei hurriedly put away the bitter look.
"You don't seem to be in a good mood, are you not feeling well?"
Ah Xiu looked enthusiastic, "Do you want me to help you?" ”
Qingfei's eyes lit up, and she hesitated a little: "You ...... All right? ”
"Of course!"
Ah Xiu nodded, "Sister Qingfei, didn't you give me osmanthus cake to eat last time?" It's a reward! ”
Qingfei looked at Ah Xiu's harmless look, thought about it, and handed the food box to Ah Xiu, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
Ah Xiu took the food box and left.
Qingfei watched Ah Xiu go away, her face was still a little guilty, she grabbed her sleeves and murmured, "I hope Miss won't lose her temper with Ah Xiu......"
Although she is Gu Lingxian's personal maidservant, Gu Lingxian prefers Qingfang, and it stands to reason that the matter of delivering food should also be handled by Qingfang, who Gu Lingxian trusts more.
But Qingfang knew Gu Lingxian too well, and rushed to deliver food to Gu Lingxian at this outlet, waiting to be angry with Gu Lingxian, so she handed over the tiring work to Qingfei.
Qingfei was not very happy in the first place, but now that Ah Xiu is helping, why doesn't she nod?
"Fortunately, I met Ah Xiu." Qingfei breathed a sigh of relief, she was really lucky today.
