Chapter 029: Dignity and Humility
Fan Yanqiao looked at Ni'er's blue and red face in the mahogany carved mirror, and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" Just put on a simple bun, why do you stand still there? ”
Although Fan Yanqiao's hair has been combed by her mother since she was a child, she knows that in the family of the powerful, there are naturally servants who specialize in combing hair, Ni'er has been serving Dashao since she came to the Marshal's Mansion, and her kung fu to comb a woman's hair is naturally a weakness, but looking at her face, she is not embarrassed because she can't comb her hair, it is obviously because Fan Yanqiao is so casually instructed her and dissatisfied.
Through what happened in the past two days, and thinking about what his father said about the handsome character before, Fan Yanqiao knew that Xue Shao said everything in the marshal's mansion, and the servants were more afraid of him than the handsome.
Therefore, when the servants in his house came to her, they naturally felt that they were tall and could not bend down.
Fan Yanqiao is young, but she grew up in a merchant family, her father is the president of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and he runs an iron factory in the north.
She still has such a little ability to read people and see colors.
Fan Yanqiao grew up being served by servants since she was a child, and she never despised and abused them, and her nature was not so tricky and mean, but she couldn't get used to Ni'er's bullying and fearing hard, and being a dog. In addition, what happened in the past few days made her vague about her life or death, whether she lived or not, it was nothing more than being a puppet in the Marshal's Mansion, waiting for her mother to recover, or waiting for Xue Shao to find out the real murderer who killed her whole family, in order to take revenge.
Death or not, I have seen the tragic situation of my family and Yu's mother when they died, this kind of thing is just a pain that can be relieved for a while. Compared to being alive, she felt that it was better to die, if it weren't for her mother, for revenge, now she could have died.
I have no worries, and I have witnessed the murder of my loved ones, and it is also a torment to live.
She is not stupid, she knows that Xue Shao's idea of starting the ironware factory at this time is using her, but her family is already ruined, even if she has ten thousand taels of gold and silver, it is useless for her, so she accepts what he says, as long as he can help her find out the real murderer who killed her whole family.
Because she didn't care about it, she wasn't afraid that Ni'er would sue Xue Shao at all, besides, she was ninety percent sure that Ni'er would never dare to sue Xue Shao.
On the contrary, if she goes to sue, there is a good chance that she will get the opposite result.
If nothing else, just based on her understanding of Xue Shao in the past two days, how could such a ruthless and domineering person who treats human life as a child's play come to her for the sake of a servant?
With such determination in her heart, Fan Yanqiao's tone became even more stern, she reached out and fiddled with the peach wood comb on the dresser as if unintentionally, stared at the delicate face in the mirror and asked, "What?" I can't tell you? ”
As soon as Ni'er heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked in the mirror, but unexpectedly bumped into Fan Yanqiao's scrutinizing eyes, and her resentful and disdainful eyes didn't have time to retract, so Fan Yanqiao took them in.
She took a deep breath, lowered her head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Ni'er doesn't comb people's hair, let alone pull a bun, if Miss wants to comb her hair, Ni'er will go to Sister-in-law Wu, she often combs her girl's hair, and her hands are more dexterous......"
Fan Yanqiao pinched the peach wood comb and gently knocked on the dresser, turned his head to look at Xiaohuan with panicked eyes on the side, and said slowly: "Your name is Xiaohuan, right?" Do you know how to pull your buns? ”
Xiaohuan hurriedly agreed: "Yes, but it will only be simple." ”
Fan Yanqiao said lightly: "Ni'er, you go out, I don't need you in this house, serve me to dress, you say you can't, serve me to comb my hair, you won't, what's the use of me keeping you in this house?" I don't think you can do it by hand, don't get your slender hands dirty, you go, I can't use you......"
After she said this, she slowly stood up and looked down at Ni'er with a wrong face: "Let's go......"
The room fell silent, Ni'er's face turned white instantly, she bit her lip, lowered her head and said, "Ni'er knows it's wrong, Miss don't let me go, I won't be able to learn slowly......"
Fan Yanqiao's face sank: "Learn slowly?" Who has the time to wait for you to learn slowly? Who are you and I? ”
She frowned and looked at her, and scolded in a low voice: "Okay, you go out, go find Da Shao, don't stand in my room!" ”
Ni'er gritted her teeth, her chest rose and fell rapidly, she looked at Fan Yanqiao with an iron face, and said in a difficult voice: "Since you ...... Since Miss said so, Ni'er has nothing to say, so Ni'er will leave......"
After she finished speaking, she raised her feet and walked out quickly.
Fan Yanqiao's heart breathed a sigh of relief, she turned to look at Xiaohuan with a panicked face, and said lightly: "Don't be afraid, I just can't get used to her domineering appearance, and she doesn't ......have any sense of proportion as a servant."
Xiaohuan swallowed his saliva, raised his eyes to look at the three people who were cleaning in the outer living room, and whispered to Fan Yanqiao: "Miss, Sister Ni'er is a person in the big house......"
Fan Yanqiao looked down at her, frowned and said, "I know that she is from the big house......
Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, Xiaohuan blushed and repeated again: "Yes...... It's the ...... in the house."
When Fan Yanqiao saw Xiaohuan's shy appearance, his heart sank, and his face burned suddenly.
She had heard some good girls say in school that the young masters of large families had girls who had sex before they were officially married, and she didn't know what it meant at first, until the daughter of a Japanese businessman secretly told her, and Helena had always hated these things, so naturally she wouldn't tell her.
So now when she heard Xiaohuan say this, Fan Yan Qiaoden became uncomfortable, she turned around with a red face, her fingers trembled slightly, it turned out that this Ni'er was the woman next to Xue Shao, no wonder she dared to be so unscrupulous.
Xiaohuan saw Fan Yanqiao's face change slightly, and guessed that she regretted the attitude she had just towards Ni'er, so she comforted softly: "There are few official duties, in fact, ...... Very...... Seldom...... Well...... We all know that...... She...... She's just holding ......."
When Xiaohuan said this, his face was already red and about to burn.
Fan Yanqiao's face was as red as hers, she clenched her fists hard, and said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of her, you don't have to comfort me, I'm just ...... It's just a bit of a surprise......"
Xiaohuan hurriedly changed the topic and reached out to hold a bundle of her hair: "Miss, let me comb your hair, although my skills are not good, but I can get by." ”
As she spoke, she took the wooden comb on the table and brushed her hair.
This dresser was bought the day before yesterday, and the things are all new, and the woman's things are obviously not very experienced, and although they look expensive, they are very uncomfortable to use.
The teeth of the peach wood comb were still just polished, and when they were combed to the hair, they were a little dry, and as soon as Xiaohuan combed down, Fan Yanqiao's scalp hurt like a pinprick.
She subconsciously tilted her neck, and then heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind her, and when she raised her eyes to look in the mirror, she saw Uncle Fu walking over with a solemn face.
