Chapter 471: Banquet
It dawned on me that this was her purpose, no wonder she seemed so excited tonight, but is such a person really worth her life? Is it really that important to be a young grandmother? Although I disagree with her approach very much, everyone has their own ambitions, and I didn't say much.
Just looking at her excited face, I feel that I still need to pour a little cold water on her appropriately, so that she can see the reality clearly, to be honest, although her appearance is still seen in the past, but it is only a little beauty, there are more people than her outstanding appearance, and the people who attended the banquet today are some young ladies with prominent family backgrounds, so in this way, there are countless people who are more outstanding than her family background, why would that young master take a fancy to her?
Thinking of this, I asked tentatively, "But there are so many young ladies from the family who came to the banquet tonight, how can you be sure that you will definitely be taken by the young master?" If you haven't been taken by him, then haven't you worked in vain? β
Xiaozhu listened to my words, her smile narrowed a little, she pursed her lips, and while putting the green dress on her body, she said to me lightly: "So you are a stupid girl, such a good opportunity, how can you be busy in vain?" You know that in addition to some young ladies who came today, there are also some sons with prominent families, even if the young master doesn't look down on me, if any of the sons who come to the banquet fall in love with me, then I won't still be prosperous, and I won't lose anything. β
I listened quietly to her theory, and felt a little ridiculous, but I didn't expect her to actually play this abacus, this is not what it is, I smiled secretly in my heart, and thought to myself if you weren't noticed by anyone tonight, what should I do? Isn't that just a bamboo basket for water?
But looking at Xiaozhu's excited appearance, I still swallowed it back silently, so as not to hit her. Just when the two of us were thinking about each other, a high-pitched, rough middle-aged woman's voice cameβit turned out to be Mama.
I saw Mama walking towards us angrily, and scolding in her mouth: "You two dead girls, I have worked hard to give you the opportunity to serve tea and water at the banquet, but you are good, you can't find anyone when you run." "When Xiaozhu and I saw Mama coming, we realized that the two of us had been in the room for a long time, and hurriedly greeted Mama.
Mama looked at the two of us angrily, especially me, and slapped me twice in anger, while whispering hatefully: "Let you dress up well, where are you dressing up, you don't really know what it means tonight, do you really not take my aunt seriously." β
Although she looked very heavy, but in fact, as soon as the slap fell on my body, it became lighter, and I secretly smiled in my heart: It seems that she loves this niece very much, and she is not willing to really hit it. But on the surface, the attitude of admitting mistakes is still sincere, I quickly lowered my eyes, stood pitifully in place, did not run away or much, and made a look of knowing my mistakes.
In this way, my expression successfully deceived her, she didn't have any energy after a while, sighed, and said with a disgusted face: "Let's go, let's go, I'm too lazy to care about you, you go quickly." β
Listened to her. Xiaozhu and I glanced at each other, secretly stuck out our tongues, and then slipped away, and then stayed here to procrastinate, it was really not as simple as being scolded by Mama. But just before I left, I suddenly heard a faint voice behind me: "Whether you succeed or fail tonight depends on the creation of the two of you." β
"Creation?" I glanced back at the middle-aged woman and snickered secretly in my heart: I would rather not have this creation.
But although I was very disdainful of the strange rules on this mansion, I had to obey these rules and perfunctory these people, just because of the skin on my body, I looked down at my rough palm, and put my hand into my sleeve in disgust, and when I saw that this hand was a hand that was used to rough work, I sighed and thought in my heart with hatred: "Zhu Liu is a dead girl, if I didn't live so badly, when I find her, see how I clean her up." β
I didn't expect Xiaozhu to notice my changes, she looked at me cautiously, and then comforted me: "Xiaolian, don't be angry, your aunt is also for your good, you must know, this is this opportunity, where do ordinary girls think of it, just say that Abi and Azhu in our house, even if they want to enter the banquet to serve, they don't have this blessing, they all hate us and hate itchy?" Although I know that you have no interest in becoming a young grandmother, it is better for you to go and see the world at that time. β
I raised an eyebrow, I was worried that I didn't know how to explain it to her, but I didn't think she would be wrong at all, so I smiled at her and said, "Well, I also know that my aunt is for my good." So I'll just go in and serve the plates, and I'll leave the task of attracting the young master to you. β
Xiaozhu was really distracted by my words, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she shyly slapped my body, and then said with a smile: "Oh, don't tease me, I'll be embarrassed." Then you hurriedly tidied up her appearance, and asked me anxiously: "Xiaolian, what do you think of my current appearance, is it good?" β
I looked at Xiaozhu with a blush on my face, and nodded honestly: "Good-looking, if I were a young master, I would choose you." β
Xiaozhu smiled proudly, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed, coughed lightly twice, and then reminded me: "Okay, okay, we should go, if we don't go in, it will be late, and the young master will be angry." β
After saying that, I turned around directly and hurriedly walked forward, I looked at her back and smiled silently. What a naΓ―ve girl who puts all her hopes and future on a man. I don't agree with it, but if that's what she wants, I can try to help her.
Looking at Xiaozhu, who was about to disappear from my sight, I quickly quickened my pace and silently followed her.
Don't look at it, it's just a private mansion, there are still a lot of rules, and the hierarchy is also very strict, I knew in the conversation with Xiaozhu that the two of us are high-class maidservants, so I don't have to do other dirty work today, just serve tea and water, there are naturally other service people in the kitchen, it turns out that this is the case, it's really easy, I'll just use it well to get through this night.
Between Xiaozhu's conversation, Xiaozhu took me directly to the hall, no wonder Mama would scold us, it turned out that the guests who came to the banquet at this time were almost all there, but because the banquet has not officially started, so these young ladies are chatting together in twos and threes, as for what to talk about, anyway, I don't understand, and I'm not interested, I swept around, I quickly pulled Xiaozhu to the place where the tea and snacks were placed, I poured the tea, and said to Xiaozhu with a reluctant expression:" I'll be in charge of pouring water for the ladies tonight, and you'll be in charge of pouring water for these boys, how about it? β
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, Xiaozhu smiled in surprise, and then quickly hugged me and coquettishly said to me: "Xiaolian, you are so good, don't worry, I will definitely cherish this opportunity and behave well." I was pounced on by her, almost didn't lift it in one breath, and quickly struggled to push her away, afraid that she would be too enthusiastic about me again, I quickly put the tea and snacks on the tray, and then stuffed the tray into her hand, and encouraged her with a smile: "Go quickly, good luck." "The whole movement is exceptionally smooth and sharp.
Xiaozhu nodded at me movingly, and then said to me affectionately: "Xiaolian, I will definitely succeed, and when I succeed, I will definitely not forget you." I listened to her tirade, and felt that my face was about to sour, so I quickly waved at her and urged her to hurry up.
When I finally sent Xiaolian away, I breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, I felt a little more "hatred" for Zhu Liu in my heart, if it weren't for that crazy girl, would my dignified ghost mother suffer from this crime? While thinking, I viciously filled the pastry in my mouth viciously, and then I felt a lot happier, but just when I was enjoying eating, suddenly a man's voice sounded next to me: "Okay, you gluttonous girl, let you work, you actually came to steal food." β
Hearing such a voice, but still a somewhat familiar voice, I felt that my courage was about to fly away, and I subconsciously inhaled the half-eaten pastry into my throat, and then began to cough violently. It's really tearful all of a sudden.
The culprit on the side saw me like this, not only did he not have a trace of guilt, but began to laugh lowly, although he knew that he could lower his voice, but my face still couldn't help but blush to the base of my neck, and scolded angrily in my heart: Laugh and laugh, laugh fart, is it so funny?
So much so that I forgot about my situation, and when I finally stopped coughing, I immediately looked up and yelled at the man, "Laughing fart, you bastard!" β
