43. It's really hard to guess what the ancients thought......

In the main room, Li You was talking to the old lady, and gradually showed fatigue, and asked casually: "Why hasn't the food been delivered yet?" ”

Mei Xiang stepped forward with a smile and said, "I've already asked someone to urge again, now is not the time to eat, maybe it hasn't been made for a while." ”

"Don't bother, just make a porridge......" Li You secretly glanced at his grandmother, a little embarrassed, "Grandson feels hungry......"

The old lady gave him a blank look: "You know you're hungry, right?" Let's see if you dare not eat in the future! ”

Li You rolled into his grandmother's arms with a grin and sprinkled again. The old lady noticed that he was a little listless, so she persuaded, "Let's take a nap first, I'm tired too." He turned his head and called the girl who came with him: "Ask someone to gather a brazier, this room is getting colder and colder at night." ”

Today, she was followed by two first-class girls, Pearl and Coral, and she was busy with Qing'er, Lu'er and other Huanhuaxuan girls to clean up a sleeping couch in the warm pavilion, and burned a brazier, so that their grandparents and grandchildren could sleep on a bench and a couch, warm and comfortable. Li You talked to his grandmother without saying a word, and after a while, the old lady fell asleep first.

Seeing this, Li You glanced at Mei Xiang, who pretended to fold the quilt for him and walked over, whispering in his ear, Li You muttered for a moment, gave a few orders, and closed his eyes to rest.

After sleeping for more than half an hour, Mei Xiang entered the warm pavilion as instructed, called Li You a few times, and then approached his ear as if he was reporting something, Li You suddenly raised his voice: "Don't mention this matter again, and don't let the old lady know when you go back, lest she get angry." ”

"What's the matter?" The old lady woke up in a daze, and Li You hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, grandmother is awake?" But your grandson is arguing with you? ”

The old lady asked the pearl the hour, and was about to get up: "It has been so long. By the way, haven't the kitchen meals been delivered yet?! It's too late for dinner! How can you not go hungry like this?! Her face sank, and she ordered Coral to go to the kitchen and ask for clarification.

Mei Xiang hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "It's already been sent, but I saw that the third young master slept so soundly, and I couldn't bear to call him, so I asked someone to send it over." "That's it, old lady.

When Li You finished washing, the girls had already brought the food, and when they saw that it was a bowl of bird's nest porridge and four or five hors d'oeuvres, it was not what the old lady had ordered before. The old lady was a little displeased when she saw it, but Li You couldn't wait to eat a mouthful of porridge, took a bite of pickles, frowned slightly, and immediately resumed her smiling face and ate the porridge in a big gulp.

The old lady saw that her grandson was eating sweetly, and her heart was also happy, and suddenly she felt that she was also hungry, so she ordered Pearl to scoop a bowl for herself, but Pearl replied in embarrassment that the kitchen only sent a bowl, Li You flatteringly dug a spoonful and sent it to her grandmother's mouth, and the old lady threw away all her displeasure, and ate it with her grandson.

After eating, Li You talked to the old lady again, as if inadvertently: "Don't blame the old lady, it's embarrassing when it's not a serious meal...... In the future, the grandchildren will eat well, don't be angry with the kitchen for this little thing, lest you ......" he lowered his voice, "...... The second brother doesn't look good on his face......"

Pearl and coral looked at each other, but they didn't know why, but the old lady understood, and couldn't help but sigh for the little grandson's sensible and considerate. As soon as the bird's nest porridge was in her mouth, she had already tasted the taste she was accustomed to, because she liked sweet and soft food, and the bird's nest was usually filled with rock sugar, and the porridge was too hot, obviously she ate it in the morning, and the kitchen person heated it up and sent it again. Look at those small dishes, they were all originally prepared and stored in the jar, taken out and cut with hot sesame oil, and mixed with hot sesame oil, and then eaten. If it is cold today, the oil has a thick layer, and it is strange that the grandson frowned violently when he ate it.

The old lady was very angry, the kitchen man knew that she was here, and she dared to snub the young master like this, not only did she deliver the food late, but also cut corners, which was really a lesson! Others told me that Brother You's little girl quarreled with the kitchen, and the reason seems to be really debatable! But they dare to be so bold, is it really because of Brother Chang'er?

The old lady pondered for a moment, never believing that her beloved second grandson would do such a thing, it should be the kitchen person's own opinion. She sank her face and decided to let her daughter-in-law clean up the house after she went back, and the few rooms in the second grandson's house should also be picky, and those who cause trouble should be rushed out as soon as possible!

However, she still kept an eye on it, and told Coral to ask the people of Huanhuaxuan, what was the little grandson's order to "don't let the old lady know"?

Soon, with the help of Qiu Yu, Coral learns the "truth" from Lan Xiang, who went to the kitchen to deliver food. It turned out that she had another quarrel with the housekeeper in the kitchen, and the mother-in-law also said wildly, asking the third young master to toss them! If it weren't for her arguments, the mother-in-law would still refuse to instruct her subordinates to boil porridge, but what she made was leftover porridge and cold dishes.

Lan Xiang didn't mention that she didn't tell the old lady about the old lady in Huanhuaxuan when she quarreled because she was unhappy, and she didn't reveal that the porridge and side dishes were actually delivered half an hour ago, and they were cooled in the front yard and heated up on the tea stove, so Coral replied to the old lady like this.

In the end, the old lady left Huanhuaxuan with anger, and Li You seemed to have no idea about it, so he reluctantly sent it straight out of the courtyard before turning back to the main house.

Qing'er put away the cups and plates with an unwilling face, and complained, "How long will the third young master endure?!" It's obviously a kitchen man, hateful! If you continue like this, someone in the house will be able to bully you! ”

Li You smiled and raised his eyes to look at Mei Xiang, Mei Xiang smiled and nodded, the former looked more relaxed, and lay straight on the bed: "I am sleepy, and let me squint for a while, call me at dinner, I want to accompany my grandmother to dinner." ”

Mei Xiang responded with a smile and covered a thin quilt for him, but Lan Xiang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, walked to the side of the bed and added two pieces of incense to the incense burner, and asked: "The little girl Chun'er who went to the kitchen to spread the word that day, and Manru who offended the second young master, how should the third young master deal with them?" ”

"Disposition?" Li You opened his eyes, "Why do you want to deal with it?" ”

Lan Xiang was a little surprised: "They did something wrong, shouldn't they be punished?" I heard that you just said in front of the old lady that you want to punish them, if you let them go, what should the old lady do when she asks? ”

Li You smiled: "That's right." I was so sick that I had to send a letter to my eldest brother-in-law and eldest sister when I went back, telling them to feel at ease. There are uncut flower notes at home, apricot red and patina, you pick a knife each, and ask Manru to cut it, then it can be regarded as a punishment. ”

This is obviously a light treatment, although Lan Xiang has other ideas, it is not good to say anything, and turned to look for paper. Li You closed his eyes and rested, and there was still a hint of smugness at the corner of his mouth.

Qing'er leaned on the outside of the warm pavilion and watched, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.

Chunying sat in the room, and since her sister left, she has been worried, and she doesn't know how the third young master will punish herself. Although she was found to be in a relationship with the eldest young master's girl, she was careless, but she was still very unconvinced about the kitchen, obviously someone else did something wrong, why did she have to be punished? Does she have to swallow her anger when she hears others mocking her face-to-face? Since she asked into the house, she has always been honest, and she has been as friendly as possible with other maids, it can be said that except for Qing'er, she has never had conflicts with others, she is forbearant enough, why do you still have to come to the door for trouble? The mother-in-law in the kitchen, even if there is really a big manager behind her, it would be too much to frame her little girl like this, right? That's simply reversing black and white!

Could it be ...... That mother-in-law wants to strike first?! Before I denounce her, let's beat her upside down?!

It's so damning!

Chunying bit the small handkerchief resentfully, and Shi'er trembled and asked carefully, "Chun'er...... Are you okay? ”

"It's fine!" Chunying ripped off her handkerchief and told herself to be patient! Anyway, her goal is to leave the Hou Mansion safely, and those intrigues have nothing to do with her!

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her outside the door, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Manru. The other party's face was much better than just now, and he beckoned to her with a smile: "Come with me, the third young master has already sent a message and is going to punish us." ”

Since she was going to punish them, why was she so happy? Chunying followed her to the backyard in confusion and entered a small room, only to see a long table in it, with high shelves on three sides, and bags and boxes of items on the shelves, most of which were wrapped in paper or silk, and I didn't know what was inside. There are also several large tile jars in the corner, each with dozens of scrolls of varying sizes and thicknesses. She leaned closer to one of the shelves and smelled the scent of ink coming from several boxes.

Lan Xiang took out two large stacks of paper from one of the shelves, threw them on the long table, put down two more silver scissors, and said angrily: "Cut these papers for me, and you won't be allowed to eat dinner until you finish them!" The third young master is merciful, let you go gently, and next time I will ask me to meet you and cause trouble for the third young master, see that I don't fry your skin! Then he turned around and left.

Chunying opened her mouth, took a breath, sat down at the table, and looked at the two stacks of colored paper in a daze: "Do you want to cut this?" How big is it? ”

Manru smiled and took out a stack of colored notes from the shelf: "Just follow this size, the third young master likes to use such a size of flower paper to write notes to people, I have seen Qing'er do this." She took the silver scissors and cut them according to the colored paper.

Chunying spread out one of the green pieces of paper and found that it was at least one square meter in size, and there were faint dark lines on it, exuding a faint floral fragrance. She muttered in her heart that the third young master loved to be vassally elegant at a young age, and she also followed Man Ru to cut up.

While cutting, she still thought in her heart: I thought I would be beaten just now, didn't Qiu Yu say that those who are lucky will also be deducted from their wages? It's just a matter of cutting a few sheets of paper and that's it? What the hell are those high-ranking sons and brothers thinking?

She sighed lowly. originally thought that as a modern person, even if she was not smarter than the ancients, at least she would have more knowledge, but she didn't expect that the twists and turns in the hearts of the ancients made her completely incomprehensible. Forget it, she's better calm down, she's still far from playing tricks with these ancients......

The matter passed like this, and dinner was eaten on time, Chunying was a little bored, so she planned to go back to the room, and practice needlework more as Qiuyu said.

After practicing for a while, she felt tired, so she threw her things away and wanted to leave the hospital for a walk, when she inadvertently heard a voice at the courtyard gate, and it turned out to be the old lady's girl who was ordered to send supper. The girl said: "This is a snack made by the cook brought back from the north by the second master, and it is best to eat it with milk." It turned out that the second lady invited the old lady to taste it, and the old lady was worried about the third young master, so she specially asked me to send it over, and also told the third young master to eat it while it was hot, go to bed early at night, and not stay up late. ”

Manru took the tray and said with a smile: "Got it, don't worry." The girl left, Manru walked to the backyard with the tray, and when she was halfway there, she was stopped by Qing'er, she frowned: "What's the matter with you?" ”

(Chunying's crisis MS has just passed, and it seems that the opportunity is coming?) What happens next? The editor has notified me, it will be on the shelves on New Year's Day, please continue to support ~~~)
