Chapter 18 Intent
After talking to Bi Tao for a long time before leaving, Rouge was thinking about Bi Tao's words while walking along the way, and when he arrived at Mu Jin Courtyard, he found that Jin Zhao and Qiao Ci had come back at this time. Rouge hurriedly collected his thoughts and entered the house.
"Miss, you're back." Rouge stepped forward and saluted. I was worried that the eldest lady would ask her where she had gone and come back late, so she took the initiative to confess and said, "The slave maid met Bi Tao and said a conversation, and it was too late to come back, please forgive the eldest lady." ”
Jin Zhao's hand paused, then only nodded and hummed softly, bowing his head and drinking tea, as if he didn't care.
The corners of Rouge's mouth stiffened, and when he saw his master so indifferent, he was slightly disappointed, and gently retreated to the side and waited.
Jin Zhao put down the teacup, looked at Rouge, and asked, "You and Bi Tao have a good relationship on weekdays?"
Hearing Jin Zhao's question, she still asked about her relationship with Bi Tao, thinking that Bi Tao was the maid of the third young master, and she had won the trust of the third young master, and the third young master was the younger brother of the eldest lady.
As soon as the words fell, Jin Zhao glanced at her, only glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze and did not speak.
At this glance, Rouge was not very comfortable, she didn't understand the meaning of the eldest lady's eyes, but it made her feel really uncomfortable. She thought that the eldest lady would at least say a few words, but who knows, she didn't say a word. She even wondered if there was something wrong with what she had just said, which provoked such a reaction from the eldest lady.
Just thinking about it, at this time, the Ximei girl next to Fu came over.
"The slave has seen the eldest lady." As soon as she entered the room, Ximei respectfully greeted Jinzhao.
Jin Zhao glanced at the other party, worthy of being a maid trained by his mother, and the posture of the salute was very standard.
Jin Zhao said to her, "Mother asked you to come over, but what do you want to bring here?"
Ximei nodded hurriedly and replied, "Miss Hui, the master wrote that he would come back in two days."
Hearing that his father was coming back, Jin Zhao was overjoyed: "Father, he's coming back?"
Counting the days, it has been more than two months since her father went to the border, but she feels that she has not seen her father for a long time, in fact, it is indeed a long time since she has seen her, and she is inevitably a little happy to hear that her father will arrive in two days.
But looking at Ximei's appearance, it seemed that she still had something to say, Jin Zhao said: "Mother asked you to come over, shouldn't it be just for this one thing?"
After going through all the things in her previous life, she seems to know her mother more and more.
Ximei's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she nodded and replied: "As the eldest lady saw, the lady also explained that the eldest lady's cooking skills are good, if the master can eat the dishes cooked by the eldest lady herself, he will be very happy, so let the slave come over and tell you."
Sure enough, this is the main purpose of her mother to let Ximei run this trip.
Jin Zhao naturally understood his mother's intentions, because the last time she cooked for her mother, everyone in the house knew about it, and if she cooked by herself on the day her father returned home, she would definitely please her father, which is also what her mother wanted to see.
Jin Zhao smiled and said, "You go back and tell your mother, just say that I understand what she means, please rest assured."
Since this is the mother's meaning, as her daughter, she will do this well, and she failed to fulfill her wishes in the previous life, nor did she fulfill her duty as a child, so that she left in tears, hoping that this life can make up for it.
Seeing that the eldest lady readily agreed, Ximei was overjoyed: "The slave maid won't bother the eldest lady, and the lady is still waiting for the slave and maid to go back and reply, so she will retreat." After speaking, he went towards Yinghua Pavilion.
After waiting for the others to leave, Rouge saw the opportunity and stepped forward to volunteer: "The eldest lady cooks herself, do you want the slave maid to give you a hand, the slave maid usually helps in the kitchen, and it will not be worse than the Qiaoci girl."
What Qiaoci can do, she can naturally do, and Rouge hopes that the eldest lady can see her sincerity.
Jin Zhao didn't appreciate Rouge's courtesy, she waved her hand and said: "No need, there are other things waiting for you to do in Mu Jinyuan, you just need to do your part, as for cooking for my father, I have my own opinions." You stand down. ”
The corners of Rouge's mouth froze immediately, other things were just daily cleaning, the eldest lady rejected her like this, and pushed her away, which made her heart cold.
Rouge replied with an embarrassed face, and retreated unwillingly.
Leaving Mu Jin Courtyard, the more Rouge thought about it, the more angry she became, but the change of the eldest lady made her more and more scared the more she thought about it. Obviously, her previous attitude towards her was not like this, but she turned her mind and thought of Qiaoci.
It was specified that the girl said bad things about her in front of the eldest lady, and it must be like this that the eldest lady would treat her so badly.
Thinking of this, Rouge's heart suddenly became angry, he usually looked honest, but he didn't expect to be so despicable behind his back, he really knew people and didn't know his heart.
Phew, Rouge scolded angrily, not loudly, but was heard by Xia Fu who was passing by.
"Oops, isn't this Rouge Girl? Why is this daylight so angry, who doesn't have long eyes to make you angry, don't you know that our rouge girl is a celebrity next to the eldest lady? Charves quipped to her face.
Rouge was already a little angry, but when she heard Xia Fu's sarcasm, she was even more angry, and she said angrily: "I want you to take care of it."
After that, she didn't bother to pay attention to her and was about to leave, but Xia Fu quickly stepped forward to stop her and said, "What, as soon as you see me, you have to leave?"
Xia Fu repeatedly violated Rouge's bottom line, and she immediately glared at the other party: "I'm not as idle as you, besides, I don't seem to know you too well."
The smile on Xia Fu's face was still there, and he said unhurriedly: "Look at what you are talking about, although you and I follow different masters, we are both maids of the General's Mansion, under the same roof, I don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, how can I be unfamiliar, rouge, you are going to hurt people's hearts when you say this."
Sad? I'm afraid that the joke that came to see her was true. What kind of person Xia Fu is, she knows best, how can she be so kind.
Even if she is now a second-class girl, although she is lower than Xia Fu, she is not afraid of offending her, after all, she is still a maid in Mu Jin Courtyard, and she is still the eldest lady's person.
Rouge pouted and said, "You don't wait by the second miss's side, what are you talking about here, be careful that the second miss will punish you for being lazy."
When Xia Fu heard this, she laughed, and said disapprerovingly: "You are wrong, the second lady is not the kind of person who changes easily, so she is reluctant to scold me, speaking of which, I am luckier than others."
Rouge heard this, and felt extremely uncomfortable, good Shave, she was clearly saying that she was snubbed by the eldest lady.
