Chapter 537 What a bold slave
Liu Bo gushed about the setting of the kitchen and his intention to arrange for each person to work in different positions.
It's a bit of a boast.
The central idea is to express one thing: the people who will be left in the kitchen by him are trustworthy, so I hope that Shi Qingxue can let these continue to stay in the kitchen to serve.
Shi Qingxue never thought of replacing this stubble from the beginning, and after understanding what Uncle Liu meant, she hurriedly said, "Uncle Liu, you misunderstood." I'm just trying to clear up the situation, now that the kitchen is running very well, everyone is doing their job, and of course it is best to stay where they are.
Even if someone thinks the kitchen is too dirty and tired, we should give them a monthly increase to retain talent. ”
Probably because Uncle Liu's attitude is really good, even if Shi Qingxue doesn't quite understand this person's temperament, he is also very sincere in his words.
I just hope that the other party doesn't misunderstand her.
Although Qingxue wanted to be in charge of the middle of the house, she never had the idea of fighting for power.
At most, it's just to protect her people from being bullied.
The last time Xia Mang was slapped at will, it must not happen again.
Pushing herself and others, she naturally doesn't want to snatch the benefits that others deserve.
"The princess is thoughtful, the rewards and punishments are appropriate, and the old slave is here to thank the princess for the people in the kitchen."
Shi Qingxue hurriedly waved her hand and smiled embarrassedly: "I just moved my mouth, I didn't do anything at all, you are the ones who really work hard!" ”
After a pause, Qingxue looked at Liu Bo's eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and finally mentioned the dispute last time.
"Last time, Concubine Qi came to Muxue Courtyard, did Uncle Liu know?"
Uncle Liu lowered his head, and his voice was full of apologies, "It was the old slave who did not do well and did not communicate with the treasury and all parties, so that he disturbed the peace of the princess, please punish the princess." ”
Seeing that Liu Bo was about to kneel, Shi Qingxue personally stepped forward to support the person.
Hurriedly said: "Uncle Liu, don't be like this!" I asked this only to find out why it happened, so that it would not happen again in a similar way. It's not to blame you, you don't have to think about it. ”
Qingxue was afraid that Uncle Liu would kneel down again, so she forcefully ordered the other party to sit back in his position, and then said: "Although it was a misunderstanding that was finally found out last time, but the reason for the misunderstanding, Uncle Liu is clear?" ”
Liu Bo nodded and replied: "Originally, the ingredients needed by the kitchen every day were made by the kitchen, sent to the warehouse in advance, and then prepared by the warehouse.
If there is inventory, the inventory will be used directly; If there is no inventory, the treasury will pay the money to the account office and go out of the house to procure.
However, the daily list of the kitchen is determined by grade and identity. Concubine Qi is a side concubine, and according to the rules, she can only use bird's nest twice a ten, and she can only use ginseng to nourish at other times.
But the people in the West Chamber had to say that Concubine Qi was weak in the kitchen, and the doctor said that if she wanted to make up for it, she must eat bird's nest every day. The old slave reported the situation to the prince, who meant that the bird's nest was not a big deal, and the treasury would make some for the West Chamber.
Therefore, the old slave ordered the kitchen to take bird's nest from the warehouse in advance and send it to the West Chamber every day.
When the kitchen was making a stew pot that day, I found that there was no bird's nest, but I didn't want it to be a coincidence, and the inventory in the warehouse was also used up, so the kitchen sent ginseng soup to Concubine Qi according to the rules, but I didn't expect it......"
Liu Bo sighed and did not say any more.
There is no need for Liu Bo to talk about the rest of the matter.
No one expected that Concubine Qi, who has always been known for her gentleness and approachability, would suddenly attack.
And the object of the attack was not the kitchen where the meal was made, and he went directly to Mu Xue Yuan to find fault.
Shi Qingxue knew the cause and effect of the matter, but her frowning brows did not let go.
After a long silence, "Concubine Qi ......"
As soon as she made her head, Liu Bo said: "The princess doesn't have to work hard, the old slave will definitely beat the rooms well, so that they can keep to themselves, and they will never let these fearless things disturb you again." ”
Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the way Uncle Liu spoke was so ...... Familiar.
Don't bother, leave everything to him - this one-handed way!
Shi Qingxue's eyes sank, the smile on her face disappeared, and she looked at Uncle Liu's eyes with a bit of inquiry, "May I ask Uncle Liu, what do you do so that something like this won't happen again?" Others are good to say, Concubine Qi is also the side concubine of the palace, and even I have to give her three points, I don't know what Uncle Liu can rely on? ”
It's not that she's going to be aggressive, but she now feels a rush of fire from the bottom of her heart to the top of her head, almost burning her sanity.
One Xia Mang is like this, and the current Liu Bo is also like this.
Are all the people in the palace so awesome now?
Don't even have to take the master in your eyes at all?
Even if Qi Ruyue is not the hostess of the palace, her identity is there.
Shi Qingxue really wanted to know what Uncle Liu planned to do so that Qi Ruyue couldn't disturb her peace at all.
I don't know if her eyes are too sharp, Liu Bo didn't dare to meet her gaze for the first time.
His head was lowered, and his voice was so humble that he didn't speak, but he was rapping with Shi Qingxue, "The old slave is a domestic servant, what do you rely on, it's just that the palace has rules, and everyone must abide by them!" ”
said it so high-soundingly, as if the rules of the palace were more effective than the emperor's edicts.
If it really worked, Qi Ruyue wouldn't be able to break into Mu Xue Courtyard and beat her people.
Xia Mang suddenly added at this time: "Don't worry, Concubine Shi, without your order, outsiders will definitely not be able to enter Mu Xue Courtyard in the future." ”
"From now on?" Shi Qingxue accurately caught the keyword.
She glanced at the two of them, and lost the heart to deal with them.
said bluntly: "Come on, you tell me the truth, what did Jun Yang explain to you?" ”
Xia Mang and Liu Bo's bodies were obviously shocked, and the two quietly glanced at each other in private.
Then Xia Mang put on an innocent appearance again, and asked suspiciously: "The slave doesn't know what you're talking about?" Mo Shizi did not ......"
"Xia Mang, have you learned to lie to me now?" Shi Qingxue's voice suddenly cooled.
Before Xia Mang's words were finished, he was silent and didn't dare to say any more.
"Six, Liuniang, slave, it's just, it's just ......" Xia Mang was really scared of this, and even his voice trembled unconsciously, and he didn't call the princess again, and subconsciously called back the title of Shi Qingxue Boudoir.
As she spoke, she was about to kneel down for Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue quickly supported Xia Mang and didn't let her kneel.
frowned and reprimanded: "What are you doing here?" I just want you to answer the question, who made you kneel? ”
But Xia Mang seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, so he broke free of Shi Qingxue's support and knelt straight in front of her.
Shi Qingxue: "......"
In the end, she lost to the stubborn Xia Mang, and the unhappiness in her heart was gone.
All that remains is helplessness.
Shi Qingxue ignored Xia Mang first, and turned to Liu Bo politely to speak. "Uncle Liu, thank you for your help this time, if you still have problems in the future, I will ask you again."
Uncle Liu, who is like a human spirit, can't hear Shi Qingxue's intention to want him to leave.
He immediately said: "Since this is the case, the old slave will leave first." ”
Shi Qingxue nodded, and ordered Dongshuang to send Uncle Liu.
There were only her and Xia Mang in the living room.
Xia Mang still looks like a second flute, with a straight back, but his head is lowered, like a lost dog.
Shi Qingxue didn't bother to pull Xia Mang anymore - this human nature came up, and ten cows couldn't pull it back - but returned to the main seat and sat down.
She looked at Xia Mang and sighed helplessly, "What do you want?" ”
Xia Mang glanced up at Qingxue, lowered his head again, and begged in his mouth: "Everything Xia Mang does is for Liu Niang, beg Liu Niang to read it for Xia Mang's loyalty, don't drive Xia Mang away, okay?" ”
The last sentence, 'Okay?', is almost pleading.
Qingxue couldn't help but have a heart twitch when she heard it.
She frowned heavily, and secretly scolded this unlucky child, did she have to say such things that made her feel distressed before she would stop?
Originally, she was going to take advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders to teach Xia Mang's self-assertion a lesson, but now like this, where can she still open her mouth?
Qingxue sighed heavily again, and finally said, "When am I going to drive you away?" ”
Xia Mang was shocked, and raised his head suddenly, with obvious surprise in his eyes.
Shi Qingxue hurriedly stopped, "Stop!" But I didn't say you were right to do these things behind my back! ”
"The slave didn't ......," Charmang retorted.
Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows, and her nasal voice raised slightly, "Huh? ”
Xia Mang immediately swallowed his words back, and responded obediently and pitifully: "The slave knows that she is wrong, please punish Liuniang." ”
With a mouthful of 'Liuniang', Xia Mang didn't seem to realize the problem of his title.
But Shi Qingxue heard it, and teased with a smile: "Now it's called Liuniang again?" Didn't Jun Yang say a word before, and immediately changed his name to my princess? ”
Of course, Qingxue didn't mind calling this little thing, but her maid took Mo Junyang's words as if they were holy decrees, but instead 'disobeyed the yang and yin' to herself.
Even if it's for her good, she's still upset.
This unhappiness reached its peak after knowing that Xia Mang had secretly carried out one of Mo Junyang's orders.
Xia Mang's expression froze, and his face turned pale as soon as he brushed it.
She didn't say anything, but she startled Shi Qingxue again, thinking that she had said something very serious.
Shi Qingxue just complained casually, but she didn't expect to be able to scare people like this.
"I'm kind of out of temper with you, isn't it just a joke, do you need that?"
Xia Mang lowered his head again, "The slave is at fault!" ”
"Stop!"
Shi Qingxue really couldn't stand Xia Mang's appearance of dying, so she couldn't help it anymore, stepped forward and forcefully pulled the person up, pressed him to the chair and sat down.
"Well, I don't want to hold you into the question of who's right and who's wrong. Now, I just want to know what's going on. I want to hear the truth. ”
