Chapter 240: The Wind
Su Jinzhao appreciated Qiaoci's pair of orchid bud-shaped earrings by a little girl named Xiangtao in the house, this Xiangtao looked only twelve or thirteen years old, four years younger than Yubi, but people love gossip in private, through her small mouth, Jinzhao rewarded Qiaoci earrings quickly spread in the house.
At noon, Qiao Ci and Qingwen finished their work and were about to go back to the house to change their clothes and then go to serve their master, who knew that a few little girls at the door were already waiting for them there, and when they saw the two of them coming back, everyone surrounded them.
"Miss Qiaoci, you are back." The first to walk up to Qiaoci was Xiangtao, who spoke to her more politely than before, but her eyes were fixed on Qiaoci's ears, as if she was looking for something.
Qiao Ci raised her eyes slightly, glanced at the expressions of several maids, and then looked at Xiang Tao and said, "What, Xiang Tao girl has something to do with me?" ”
Looking at this posture, if there was nothing to do, I wouldn't have waited in front of her house.
Xiangtao retracted her gaze, smiled and said: "Look at what the girl said, do you have to have something to find you, everyone is busy serving the master on weekdays, and they don't say a few words in private, although Miss Qiaoci and Miss Qingwen have not been in the house for a long time, but I look at them are also people with a very good temper. ”
Xiang Tao likes to follow Yubi on weekdays, like a little follower, but today she left Yubi alone and a few other maids to find her, thinking that it must not be as simple as just chatting with her, it should be for other things.
Qiao Ci smiled faintly: "Miss Peach said that she laughed, in the past, Miss Peach was close to Miss Yubi, so naturally she had a deep relationship with Miss Yubi." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Tao's face sank slightly, and the other maids also had different expressions when they heard it, and Xiang Tao immediately covered her smile and said: "Yubi is a first-class girl in the house, and she has to listen to her on weekdays." How can an unequal maid like me get into the eyes of others, that is, just obey orders and do things, but it's not something that a little girl dares to climb. ”
As she said this, in the distance, a coldness crossed the woman's eyes.
Just this sending?
Qiao Ci frowned slightly, and said: "Miss Peach is wrong, they are all serving the master in the house, and our duty is to serve the master well." Whatever the master tells us to do, we will do it, although Miss Yubi is the big girl in this house, but everything must also listen to the master's orders, do you say this is the truth? ”
The main lord of this house is the third prince and the imperial concubine, why should he listen to her as a maid.
This fragrant peach followed Yubi, and her speech became unspoken.
Xiangtao realized that she had spoken inappropriately, and was grabbed by the handle, panicked for a while, wiped the Han beads oozing from her forehead with her sleeve, and Cancan responded: "What the girl said is that I lost my words for a while, and I hope that the girl will not mention it in front of the princess, if the princess misunderstands, what should I do." ”
The so-called disaster comes from the mouth, if the princess knows this, a heavy punishment is indispensable, if she is driven out of the house, she is a little girl, how can she live in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiangtao's heart tightened, and she suddenly felt a little afraid in her heart.
Qiaoci can't compare to the big mouth of the peach, so he said: "I'm still bored to the point of telling right and wrong in front of the imperial concubine, as long as you serve the lord faithfully, with a clear conscience, the master has a measure in his heart, how can I wait for anything to say, the peach girl can't help but look up to me Qiaoci too much."
Hearing Qiao Ci's words, Xiang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and before she could speak, a little girl next to her couldn't sit still, and said loudly: "Miss Qiao Ci is modest, who in this house doesn't know that you and Miss Qingwen are the celebrities in front of the imperial concubine, this kind of honor, even the big girl in the mansion Yubi is not as good, I heard that the imperial concubine gave you a pair of earrings, it must be very beautiful."
The little girl who spoke, named Xiumo, was an inconspicuous maid, and Qiaoci didn't pay much attention to it on weekdays, but what she said today ......
Qiao Ci subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at the girl, and asked, "How do you know that the eldest lady gave me something?"
Except for Qingwen, she had never told anyone about this matter, and when she saw Qingwen's innocent look, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with her. Since she didn't say it, who said it?
Qiao Ci set her eyes on Xiang Tao, a little suspicious.
Seeing that Qiaoci was staring at herself, Xiangtao was at a loss for a while, and it was difficult to ask directly. I had to desperately look at Xiumo.
Who knows, this Xiumo couldn't understand what she meant at all, and asked directly in front of everyone: "Sister Xiangtao, what's wrong with your eyes?" Didn't you tell us that the princess gave a pair of earrings to Miss Qiaoci, out of curiosity, she pulled us over to take a look, have you forgotten? ”
As soon as the words came out, the whole person was not good.
She really couldn't imagine that Xiumo was such a person who didn't know how to read words and feelings, she should not have told her in the first place, let alone taken her with her.
Looking at Xiang Tao's angry and annoyed face, Xiumo was confused, touched his little head, and asked innocently, "Did I say something wrong?" Sister Xiangtao, don't be angry, can't I say it? ”
Xiang Tao wanted to cry without tears, and she didn't even bother to look at her, how could there be such a fool in the house, she didn't know how to read words and looks, but she couldn't speak. If it weren't for the presence of others, Xiang Tao would have vented the anger in her heart a long time ago.
After a while, Xiang Tao suppressed the anger in her heart and explained to Qiao Ci: "Miss Qiao Ci, don't misunderstand, Xiumo, this girl speaks without her brain, I just talk casually, I hope you don't care."
Qiao Ci smiled and said, "I like that stingy person when Miss Peach said this, Miss Peach said everything, what else can I say." It's just that I don't like to be public, and I hope the girl will remember this. ”
It's impossible to take back what you say.
It's just that the earrings are something given to her by the eldest lady after all, and she doesn't want to show off in front of people.
Xiangtao nodded and responded: "Miss Qiaoci said that you laughed, you have a good personality and treat people generously, where is a stingy person."
In this way, a few girls are waiting for her here today, just to see what the master gave her.
These people don't talk a lot about right and wrong on weekdays, and she doesn't want to show it off.
After talking for a long time, seeing that Qiaoci didn't mean to take out the things for them for a long time, she made such a fuss, and it was not easy for the peach to open this mouth, so a few other girls couldn't sit still, so they took the initiative to open their mouths first.
