Chapter 20: The Unproductive Fourth Miss
"Ahh The maid screamed, took a few steps back, and asked in a panic, "Fourth Miss, are you okay?" ”
Quickly tearing off the wet robe, Li Huaiyu glanced up at her, and seemed to smile: "What do you say?" ”
"It's all to blame on the slaves! Slaves and maids should be punished! Xiyun curtsied again and again, "The slave maid was in a hurry to get my young lady's breakfast, but I didn't see that the fourth young lady was here, and I thought it was a maid." ”
Look at this posture, it seems that he is sincerely admitting his mistake, but the half-hanging eyes are really dishonest, turning left and right, revealing a taste of sarcasm.
Huaiyu couldn't help but snort lightly.
What kind of master has what kind of maid, the second lady Bai Xuanji is a smiling tiger, and her maid is the same, if she can't get used to her, she wants to squeeze her, so she says it clearly, so she has to smile and apologize while doing these things, what's the point?
"Give me some more." Putting down the tray, Huaiyu said to the cook in the back.
The cook responded, and hurriedly went to scoop porridge for her. Xiyun next to her saw that she had no intention of pursuing it, so she went into the kitchen with a smile and put all the delicate meals on the stove into her tray.
"The second lady is waiting for dinner, and the slave maid will leave first." Picking up the things, Xiyun smiled at her, her eyes fell on the tray she had just put down, and the smile deepened, "I've wronged Miss Four." ”
Huaiyu stood beside her, looking at her swaggering back, and turned her head to look at the cook with an expressionless face: "Second Miss's breakfast?" ”
The cook awkwardly wiped her hands on her apron: "Fourth Miss, don't be angry, there are rules in the house." ”
"What kind of rules make the treatment of people who are also young ladies so different?" Huai Yupi smiled and didn't smile, "I'm going to ask my father?" ”
"Look, you're making a big fuss, aren't you? The master is so busy, how can he manage this? The cook hurriedly said, "The slave maid will serve you more food?" ”
Li Huaiyu didn't say anything, his eyes only stared at her.
The cook was shocked by her eyes, and she was a little flustered. Suddenly, I felt that these four young ladies were not angry and arrogant, and they were even more intimidating than the old man.
But after thinking about it, it's just a dead mother's concubine, even if she is not stupid, no one loves her in the house, what is she afraid of her?
Thinking of this, the cook calmed down and hardened her attitude: "It's not that the slave is talkative, you should also understand who is in charge of this courtyard." When I was really dissatisfied, I went to my wife and said, why embarrass us who are in the moment? ”
Run to find the eccentric Bai Meng? Huaiyu sneered, there would be no result if he looked for it.
Picking up her meal again, she took a deep breath and turned back to the West Courtyard.
The cook looked at her back with fear and anger, and when she was gone, she said hatefully: "Phew, what kind of majesty did you come to us, you really think you are a great master!" ”
The little maid who helped the cook next to her responded, "Isn't it?" Everyone knows that she won't have any big deals, and when Jiang Fu comes to dissolve the marriage contract one day, let alone porridge, she won't have the face to drink the soup! ”
"I'm looking forward to the second miss giving her some color now, so that she can recognize her identity!"
"It's coming, it's coming." The little maid smiled and said, "Soon the masters are going to Jiangfu for a banquet, her clothes are not ready, and she won't be able to enter the gate of Jiangfu when the time comes, but she is good-looking." ”
The sound of chirping, mixed with some curses, drifted away in the morning light.
Huaiyu felt that she might have been too luxurious when she was a princess, so God couldn't stand it, so let her be the fool of the fourth lady of Baifu, so that she could experience the feeling of not having enough food and clothing.
It doesn't hurt to be harsh in breakfast, just cleanse your bowels. But for lunch and dinner, the kitchen gave her very bad dishes, and there was very little rice, and it was gone after two bites.
Looking at the rice bowl in front of him that was cleaner than washing, Li Huaiyu really wanted to tear tears of sympathy for Miss Bai Si. It's a noble lady anyway, and it's too miserable!
"Fourth Miss." A grandmother came from outside, and said in a sharp voice, "The master has passed the word, Ming'er is going to Jiangfu, let you dress up and go to the front hall to say goodbye." ”
Huaiyu listened, and before he could respond, Lingxiu behind him stood up with a "brush": "My young lady will go right away!" ”
After speaking, he trembled and bit off the thread in his hand, and carried the silk skirt to Huaiyu: "Miss, change it quickly!" ”
"This ......" looked at the scattered lotus flowers on the silk skirt, Huaiyu blinked, "Are you sure you can?" ”
"It's better than wearing all the clothes you've been wearing." Lingxiu pulled her up and changed her clothes, "If the master can't see it, it would be better if he could reward you with some jewelry." ”
can only think so, Huaiyu nodded, obediently changed into a skirt, pulled a regular bun, washed his face and followed the grandmother outside to the front hall.
Before going out, check whether your daughter is appropriate, which is also the rule of high-ranking families. When Li Huaiyu walked to the front hall, he found that everyone had arrived, Bai Dezhong and Bai Mengshi were sitting on the main seat, and Bai Xuanji was standing in front of them.
The neckline and skirt are embroidered with intricate begonia flowers. Bai Xuanji held the high auspicious cloud bun, the lotus step moved slowly, looking forward to the posture, she was really a qualified lady.
Bai Mengshi was very satisfied, nodded again and again, pinched the handkerchief and said to Bai Dezhong: "Look, sir, our daughter looks like this, are you still worried that you can't find a good husband?" ”
Bai De grimaced, without much joy on his face, but he still nodded.
As soon as his eyes moved, he saw the cowering man at the door, and immediately his face sank, and he shouted, "Don't come in yet?" ”
Huaiyu was taken aback by him again, thinking that this voice was really loud enough, every time she either murdered her or yelled at her, could she still speak well?
With a flat mouth, she reluctantly stepped into the antechamber.
Bai Mengshi and Bai Xuanji looked at her in unison, their eyes swept over her simple silk dress, and then at her empty bun and earrings, with a look of disgust in their eyes.
Bai Dezhong frowned and looked at her: "You are going to go to Jiangfu like this?" ”
"Can't you?" Pulling her skirt, Huaiyu said, "The material is not bad." ”
Bai Dezhong turned his head to look at Bai Mengshi, who shook his head again and again: "The concubine ordered someone to send a few clothes to the West Courtyard for her to choose by herself, and the one she chose has nothing to do with the concubine." ”
Ha? Li Huaiyu glanced at Bai Mengshi in surprise, and wanted to applaud her, this kung fu of opening her eyes and talking nonsense is really amazing, not to mention a few clothes, she gave one that was not embroidered, okay?
However, Bai Dezhong actually believed it, and looked at her more sternly: "You don't understand the rules now, and you have no taste, if you go to the Jiang family rashly, you will be embarrassed by the house." Tomorrow I will go with your second sister, and you can rest in the house. ”
