These words were just a provocation in Xu Xinru's ears, but in Shui Ling's heart, it meant something else, she knew better than Xu Xinru the position of the concubine in the family. Even if Xu Xinru is not sensible, since she is here to serve Xu Xinru, then there is no reason for her to say that she can't understand. Shui Ling bit her lip secretly, thinking that this Mrs. Hou was so unkind, if it weren't for her own lady's desperate desire to find death, she would never want to stay here for a long time.

"Li Shaohua, don't go too far! I'm not here to be a minion. Even though Xu Xinru couldn't hear Shaohua's words, when she heard the sentence "half a minion", she immediately couldn't hold back, slapped the table, and scolded Shaohua. Originally, being abandoned in the house by Yan Kaizhi last night was enough to make her feel aggrieved, and Shaohua even treated her as a slave.

Shaohua was not moved by her angry scolding, but said with a smile: "That's too, you haven't given tea, you are indeed not a member of the Yan family." It's better to go back to their respective homes, and you don't have to be wronged here. ”

Xu Xinru was stunned, her heart was not good, and she impulsively fell into Shaohua's way.

She had to fight to find death to enter the gate of the Xingyong Marquis Mansion, and now it is less than ten hours, and she was driven back in disgrace, so it is better to call her dead.

The other head was stunned, and Shui Ling had already knelt down in front of Shaohua to plead guiltily: "Madam, it was the slave's fault just now, the slave shouldn't intervene, please punish Madame." Seeing that Shaohua was unmoved, Shui Ling only gritted his teeth and slapped his mouth twice, "Please forgive my aunt for the first time." ”

Shaohua didn't know Shui Ling's identity, but Xu Xinru knew that Shui Ling was originally the eldest maid who served the old lady of the Xu family, and was later given to Xu Zixiang, ready to wait for him to marry his wife and carry his aunt. As a result, because Xu Xinru made such a fuss, none of the maids around her could make the Xu family feel at ease to follow, so she had to send Shui Ling over to marry. From a prospective aunt to a concubine, Shui Ling couldn't complain in her heart, but she couldn't help herself, Xu Zixiang couldn't save her, Shui Ling had to follow Xu Xinru into the Xingyong Marquis Mansion in resignation.

It can be said that Xu Xinru grew up with Shui Ling, who is not only a maid by her grandmother's side, but also a person who is ready to be a brother's concubine, so she inevitably has a little more respect for her.

Seeing that Shui Ling was so wronged for herself, Xu Xinru took a deep breath, knelt next to Shui Ling, and asked Shaohua for her guilt. "I beg your pardon, Madame."

Xu Xinru's actions made Shaohua more sure that Shui Ling's identity in the Xu family was extraordinary, watching the master and servant kneeling in front of him, with different expressions on their faces, it was as if it was a good show.

Shaohua sighed leisurely and looked at their master and servant: "I can't talk about forgiveness, I just hope you think about it yourself, if you give this tea, you won't have to regret it." Even if the Xu family came with a holy decree, it would not be so easy for me to let go. ”

"I don't regret it!" Xu Xinru's eyes lit up, and she looked unexpectedly excited.

Shaohua frowned, not knowing what she was happy about, and commanded: "Okay, Chuhe, pour tea." ”

If Shaohua's attitude just now was a provocation to Xu Xinru, then after this cup of tea, Xu Xinru would know what ravaging was. Of course, if Xu Xinru was willing not to cause trouble, obediently hid in the courtyard, and lived the fantasy life of her so-called Yan Kaizhi's concubine, she wouldn't mind supporting one more person. But Xu Xinru came in desperately, knowing that the husband and wife didn't like it, she still insisted on being a concubine, and to say that she would live in peace in the side courtyard was even more incredible than Shaohua being a female celebrity.

It is not difficult to prevent an impulsive Xu Xinru, find a mistake, pick a thorn, how can she be punished for crying dad and calling mother. It's just that because of her mother's relationship, she can't be beaten or scolded, but the methods of torturing people are usually not limited to flesh pain.

Shaohua sighed with emotion in her heart, thinking that Mrs. Xin held her forehead and lamented that she couldn't learn how to discipline the concubines, and scolded her for being bullied by the concubines and maids in the future and not allowed to go home to complain. She also said confidently that Yan Kaizhi is not the kind of person who messes with flowers and grass, and she doesn't need to learn these things at all.

Just when everyone was in a daze, Chu He had already come out with a cup of tea.

Shui Ling hurriedly put a soft cushion in front of Shaohua, helped Xu Xinru kneel in front of her, and then brought the tea to Xu Xinru's hand.

"Lady please, tea." Xu Xinru raised the teacup in front of Shaohua and whispered.

"What?" Shaohua didn't seem to pay attention and repeated.

"Madame, please, tea!" Xu Xinru took a heavy breath, and her voice was amplified a lot.

But Shaohua was stunned and didn't take the teacup, and shook his head at the faint angry expression on her face, "Xu Niangzi, I see that you are not happy at all, since you are so reluctant, then why force yourself." Shui Ling was anxious to watch on the side, but she was reprimanded by Shaohua just now, and she couldn't make a sound at this moment. It was Youhan who quietly stabbed Hatsu and deliberately raised her eyebrows, making Hatsuha glare back.

Xu Xinru swallowed her anger, straightened her neck, and said stiffly: "I'm not unhappy, I've said everything." ”

It stands to reason that this concubine gives tea to his wife, and then says a few words of compliment, and the wife symbolically takes a sip, rewards a red envelope, and says a few auspicious words.

However, Xu Xinru didn't regard herself as a concubine at all, let alone compliments, Shaohua was also happy to carry it with her, anyway, it wasn't her who was uncomfortable. If Xu Xinru is reluctant, she will probably go home immediately, and the door will be open for her at any time. The two of them had their own thoughts, and they were at a stalemate, and a simple tea ceremony was dragged out until the middle of the day.

Shaohua saw that she couldn't wake up, so he had to explain to her: "Who are you, I don't know whose tea I want to drink." ”

Suddenly, Shaohua felt that it was better to talk to smart people, even if Jinhua's mouth was mean, at least the two of them could fight with open guns and hidden arrows. You don't have to step on her like you did to Xu Xinru, you have to explain to her why I want to step on it, and where you should feel pain if you step on it like this.

Xu Xinru suddenly realized that no one had told her what to say about giving Shaohua tea.

She hesitated for a moment, then deliberated and opened her mouth to report to her home, "Concubine, concubine Xu Xinru will give tea to Mrs. ”

"Eh~" Shaohua sighed again, and even Chu He couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

Xindao, she never knew that her wife was so good at making things difficult, and a cup of tea made her so picky from beginning to end, and the tea was going to be cold. If her heart is a little worse, let her serve hot tea again, and she will have to toss through the day. Looking at Xu Xinru's appearance, it was obvious that she didn't sleep well last night and couldn't eat enough in the morning, and her face was already blue at this time.

"What the hell do you want!" Xu Xinru was picked by her to be wrong and wrong, and her heart was already beating like thunder, but she was afraid of Shaohua's sentence, "If you haven't paid tea to you, you are not a Yan family, where you fall in love." ”

Shaohua had given up letting Xu Xinru understand the meaning behind the sigh just now, and sighed: "Xu Niangzi, maybe your aunt didn't teach you the duty of being a concubine." A concubine can only be a wife's self-title, and you are just an aunt. If you don't recognize your identity, something big will happen in the future. She just wants to make Xu Xinru clear that when she enters the Yan family, she can only be a concubine, she serves them when they eat, and she guards the concubine when they sleep.

Whether it is a noble concubine or a good concubine, after all, she can't escape from being a standing maid.

This time, Xu Xinru learned very quickly, and without waiting for Shaohua to repeat, she raised the teacup above her head, and said loudly: "Concubine Xu Xinru gave tea to her wife." ”

Shaohua finally nodded with satisfaction, seeing that Shui Ling was distressed on the side, it was not good to make things difficult for Xu Xinru again.

Reached out to pick up the teacup brought by Xu Xinru, but I didn't expect to accidentally knock over the teacup, and the tea splashed on the back of Xu Xinru's hand, only to hear Shui Ling's exclamation, Xu Xinru's eyes were about to burst into flames. Shaohua was also startled, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and complained about Chu He in her mouth: "Ah! It's okay, it's not hot, is it? Look at how careless I am. Chu He hurriedly took the scald cream, you girl is really, why do you make the tea so hot, you don't care about your wife and I burn my mouth. ”

Chu He was also frightened by what was in front of him, he didn't think that Shaohua would knock over the teacup, but he only heard Shaohua mutter: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get the medicine, this thin skin and tender meat, it would be bad if it left scars." Hatsuho hurriedly ran out to find the ointment.

And Shui Ling had already rushed over distressedly, holding Xu Xinru's hand to blow the cool fan.

"Out of the way, I don't hurt. Shui Ling, you go and pour a new cup of tea, I will give tea to Mrs. Xu Xinru's insistence surprised Shaohua, and Shui Ling was also stunned, seeing her stubborn face, she suddenly didn't know what to do.

"This tea is the same if you drink it in the morning and drink it late, you take care of the injuries on your hands first, don't leave scars, your mother's family still thinks how much grievances they have suffered in the Xingyong Marquis Mansion." Shaohua said softly.

At the mention of grievances, Xu Xinru actually wanted to cry in her heart for a long time, but after being ridiculed for so long, she would have to be troubled again next time she came to serve tea, and she would rather solve it once again today. "Water spirit! Didn't you hear me? ”

Youhan was about to open her mouth to reprimand Xu Xinru for shouting loudly when Shaohua didn't even open her mouth, but Shaohua stretched out his hand to stop her and motioned her to wait to see what Xu Xinru did.

Shui Ling was yelled, so he had to run out and hurriedly brew a cup of tea and bring it in, at this time Chu He also came over with the ointment, but Xu Xinru didn't want to rub the ointment at all, took the tea that Shui Ling had re-brewed, raised it in front of Shaohua again, and said loudly: "Concubine Xu Xinru gave tea to Mrs. ”

Shaohua pursed her lips, as if surprised by Xu Xinru's change, and suddenly, she raised her lips, took the tea steadily, and took a small sip. At the same time as she put down the teacup, she laughed and heard two heavy sighs, seeing Xu Xinru's relieved appearance as a master and servant, Shaohua took a scripture book from Chu He's hand and gave it to Xu Xinru.

Xu Xinru looked at the Buddhist scriptures in his hand inexplicably, and only heard Shaohua say: "I should have rewarded you with pearls and gems as gifts, but seeing that you are dressed more noble than me, I can't think of anything that I can give to you." But here is a scripture book, which I copied for Mrs. Tai, and you must know that Mrs. Tai has the habit of chanting scriptures on weekdays. If you have the heart, you can help copy it a few more times, which can be regarded as accumulating blessings for the Hou Ye. Otherwise, you can keep it to yourself, it's still good for self-cultivation. ”

After listening to Shaohua's explanation, Xu Xinru almost didn't vomit blood, the reason why she dressed up so beautifully was to let Shaohua know that her maiden family was not easy to mess with. Who would have thought that Shaohua would use a scripture book to send her, Xu Xinru felt a little ridiculous when she held this scripture.

"What's going on?" Yan Kaizhi's appearance attracted everyone's attention.

Shaohua glanced at Xu Xinru's little face flushed with excitement, and immediately rushed over, so frightened that Yan Kaizhi hurriedly reached out to catch it, and threw himself softly into Yan Kaizhi's arms in Xu Xinru's resentful sight.

"Husband, Aunt Xu is giving tea to the concubine, and the concubine gave her a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" copied by herself, do you say it's good?" Shaohua's sweet and soft voice, but his eyes were half-squinted at Yan Kaizhi.

"It's good if you say yes." Yan Kaizhi didn't care about what Shaohua sent, just glanced at Xu Xinru, he was a little annoyed, "If it's okay, go back, don't mess around." ”

Xu Xinru opened her mouth and didn't say a word, she was ordered to be evicted, and her eyes were full of tears for a while, she owed a debt, and ran out without looking back.

Looking at the distant backs of the master and servant, Shaohua left in Yan Kaizhi's arms, and made a grimace at their backs with disdain, and before she could withdraw her tongue, she just met Yan Kaizhi's teasing smile, she smiled awkwardly: "What does Master Hou want to eat at noon, I will let people do it." ”

Seeing that Shaohua no longer ignored him, Yan Kaizhi also ignored the matter between her and Xu Xinru. "Don't bother, I still have to go out, I'll be back for dinner tonight." The focus of the words was tonight, and Shaohua nodded shyly.

Because taking a concubine is a private matter, the court will not give a regular leave, and when Yan Kaizhi was sent away, Shaohua's heart became extremely comfortable.

Chu He helped her back to the room, but asked curiously: "Madam, why did you send the scriptures to Aunt Xu, isn't it a joke to say it." "There are beads and hairpins and bracelets, and it is the first time I have heard of Buddhist scriptures.

Shaohua raised her eyebrows comfortably, "The Diamond Sutra can open up wisdom and reduce delusions, I hope she will not live up to my expectations." ”
