Chapter 20: Twists and Turns (I)
"It's me." Xia Meizhen turned her head and responded, and glanced at the two young ladies by the way, if the shoulders were cut, the waist was like a plain, the eyebrows were like green feathers, the muscles were like snow, and the long black hair was pulled into a complicated bun, which was dotted with golden gold-inlaid hostas and three taels of flowers.
Xia Meizhen also noticed that as soon as this woman appeared, even the third lady who was domineering restrained a lot, and obediently called the second sister.
"Why don't you apologize? Do you want me to invite you? Dai Yingjiao said to that Baocui, she didn't care about sisterhood at all, she was so angry that the third lady's face turned green, and the girls and servants around her were also silent.
The second miss is going to slap the third miss in the face for an outsider.
Hearing this, Xia Meizhen praised her in her heart, and she really deserved to be the person in front of her wife, and she was very good at everything.
Baocui, who was scolded and apologized, her face was purple, as a maid, she didn't dare to disobey her master's words, and the second miss was the person in front of the lady, and her identity was a noble person in the honor, she couldn't afford to offend Ah, she weighed the two sides, she looked at the third miss timidly, and reluctantly blessed Xia Meizhen, "It's me who blamed the girl, I apologize to the girl, I'm really sorry." ”
As soon as the words fell, the third lady turned around and ran away, it was really embarrassing!
Xia Meizhen waved her hand and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sudden loud voice.
"Young master, you can't go out!" The poignant voice makes people's hairs stand on end.
Everyone hurriedly looked over, and saw a ball of red and fat meatballs like a boy, and rushed towards the second miss - the second miss was standing in the middle of the road, blocking his way, "ah", fortunately, there were many people around the second miss, and they helped her to stabilize her body.
Meatballs grabbed her sister's clothes, leaned on her almost all the flesh, and yelled, "Get up, I'll go out!"
His oily hands left a few deep stains on his clothes, and he also grabbed a half-gnawed chicken claw on his other hand, which made the second lady scream, "My clothes! Pull him away! ”
The surrounding maids hurriedly stepped forward to coax the boy aside, and then comforted the second lady, tidied up the crooked bun, cleaned up the soiled clothes, and for a while people turned over on their backs and made a commotion.
The ancestors of the Dai family were born in the caravan and did the tea business, and they began to gain a foothold in Xuanzhou Mansion from their grandfathers, and they can be regarded as one of the most influential merchants in this city. It's just that the Dai family has always had thin heirs, and no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it can only gradually decline, and when Dai Chengrui was born, the Dai family also had a problem of cutting off rice and grain because they couldn't sell tea.
So when Dai Chengrui, who was responsible for the heavy responsibility, revitalized the lintel, he only accepted one concubine, or because Mrs. Dai felt that she couldn't give birth to a son and was sorry for the Dai family, and took the initiative to let Dai Chengruina, but in the third year when her aunt gave birth to a son, Mrs. Dai also gave birth to a son, because it was a long-awaited son, she named Dai Xiaobao.
Unfortunately, Dai Xiaobao was born weak and prone to illness, and when he was one year old, he had a high fever for many days, burned out his brain, and became a fool.
At this time, the eldest young master of the Dai family was stopped from going out, even though this person was the sister of the inner courtyard who was above 10,000 people, he didn't give face and cried, and threw out the chicken claws in his hand and rolled on the ground, "I want to go out to play!" I'm going to hang out! ”
The second young lady's face turned pale, and the hand holding the maid trembled a little, since she was a child, when did she ever be so ugly, or in front of so many maids, but this younger brother can't be scolded, otherwise his parents will not be able to explain, so he said hatefully: "Let the kitchen prepare two large pots of chicken fillets that the young master loves to eat, don't let him run around anymore, it's not a trivial matter to fall." ”
The maids all knew that this stupid young master was not liked by a few young ladies, so they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them.
One said: "Little ancestor, chicken fillets are made in the kitchen, let's go and taste it, shall we?" It's not fun to go out at all. ”
The stupid young master glanced at him, stubbornly came up, and simply rolled in circles on the ground as a mop, shouting in his mouth that you lied to me, you lied to me!
The other stepped forward and said, "Young master, who dares to lie to you in this house, you don't want to eat chicken fillets, let's eat donkeys and roll, okay?"
Dai Xiaobao still didn't do it, crying and panting, but he wasn't rolling anymore.
There was a lot of commotion, but Xia Meizhen was forgotten, and she could see clearly where she was alone: Dai Xiaobao was short and round, with a double chin, and a thick neck, and after a while, he was sweating profusely and panting, which is a symptom of obesity.
Her eyes couldn't help but look at the second miss, although the second miss didn't blame her brother, but she was using the most vicious way to harm him - a child who didn't know how to control himself, and he was so fat, if he continued to be fat because of his diet, he would get dozens of diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, etc., which would be life-threatening!
Although Xia Meizhen didn't know how the ancients looked at obesity, she really picked up a big insight in vain: as soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and it seemed that this Dai family was simply a miniature version of the court!
Dai Yingjiao couldn't listen to it anymore, so she simply turned sideways, but Xia Meizhen, who happened to be looking at herself, was looking at herself, and the deep disdain in her eyes was clear at a glance.
Frowning slightly, Dai Yingjiao didn't understand the meaning, but she remembered Xia Meizhen in her heart.
She said: "You came to work today, and you made yourself so embarrassed before you saw your mother, although it is not your fault, if you don't punish it, you will spread it outside to attract jokes, saying that our Dai family has no rules, and any newcomer can make a first-class big girl bend down to make amends, and if you are punished, it will seem that I am not close to people, so you can do it yourself, okay?"
Do it yourself? Xia Meizhen glared, in other words, didn't she let her go? If he was kicked out by the owner on the first day of work, Jiang Yunxian didn't know how much anger he would have!
Xia Meizhen looked Dai Yingjiao up and down again, and her mind turned and turned: although she has not seen Mrs. Dai yet, she has offended the two young ladies, but she is the person who is the relative of Mrs. Qian's mother, if there is no consent from Mrs. Dai, she will definitely not be able to enter the door of Dai's house, that is to say, her backer is Mrs. Dai, as long as Mrs. Dai does not speak, no one has the right to drive her away, and if she leaves by herself, it is another matter.
What a scheming! So much to figure out in such a short time! Xia Meizhen gritted her teeth, but her eyes were about to breathe fire.
"Have you figured out what to do? Let me remind you that my mother is the least troublesome and talkative of all kinds. Dai Yingjiao saw that Xia Meizhen didn't speak, so she added.
Look, from the time it appeared to the present, that sentence is not for others! Xia Meizhen can see through this woman's honey-bellied sword, insidious and vicious, and wants her to go by herself, and doesn't want her to tell others the truth, she really thinks others are fools. So she learned the girl to salute the second lady, and said: "Meizhen Xie Second Miss mention, it's just that I just came to the house, I don't understand anything, I just saw that the young master is obese and incapacitated, presumably Mrs. is also worried about this, I have some ways to regulate my body here, if I can reduce the burden of the young master, it can be regarded as my remark!"
If you ask me to find a way, I'll think about it, but it won't work out as you want. Xia Meizhen looked directly at Dai Yingjiao.
"What you said is true?" Mrs. Dai, who received the news, hurried over and heard what Xia Meizhen said.
