Chapter 280: Master and Servant

Wen Xian followed Dong Ning back to the room with a smooth attitude, and personally waited for him to change into his usual clothes and shoes back home.

Dong Ning felt a little uncomfortable, so he slightly blocked her hand and said, "Just let the girls do these things, why do you need to do it?" Then he called two big girls, Miaolu and Jialu, to wait.

Wen Xian bit her lip, took two steps away, and glanced back at Dongning, feeling a little gloomy.

After Dongning changed his clothes, Jia Lu asked with a smile: "The eldest young master has been tired outside for a long time, but he is hungry?" It's not time to eat, how about the slave go to the small kitchen to steam some snacks for you? Dongning nodded: "You don't need more, just have two plates, and then brew the maple dew tea I said earlier, you make it yourself, don't let the little girl spoil the good things." ”

Jialu responded with a smile, Miaolu glanced at Wen Xian carefully, and asked, "Grandma, what do you want?" ”

Only then did Dong Ning remember that he had forgotten that his newlywed wife was beside him, and he just cared about acting as usual, and hurriedly said: "Yes, if you want anything to eat, just tell them to do it." ”

With less than an hour left until lunch, what kind of snacks will you have at this time? Wen Xian thought that she was the new daughter-in-law, and if she asked too much, maybe the people in this house would think she was troublesome, so she said solemnly: "I'm not hungry, no need." ”

Dong Ning stumbled, coughed lightly, got up and walked to the bookshelf and took the book and flipped through it. The two girls glanced at each other and bowed and retired. When they went out, the waiter standing by the door stared at them.

Dongning had been reading a book and didn't speak, and after a while, Jia Lu brought snacks and tea. He lifted the lid of the tea bowl and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Your tea-making skills are getting better and better." Seeing that the dim sum was my favorite food, I rewarded Jialu. When the girl retreated, he was about to drink tea, and when he had a meal in his hand, he looked up at Wen Xian and laughed dryly: "Lady...... Eat some too, right? I'm tired. ”

Wen Xian bit her lip and lowered her head in silence. She had already said that she was not hungry, and now she was eating, and the girls didn't know how to laugh at her.

Dong Ning saw that she didn't move, and she didn't say much. He got up early and only ate a bowl of osmanthus lotus seed and lily soup, kowtowed a lot, performed a lot of salutes, and was already hungry.

After eating half full, Dongning finally relieved himself, slowly sipped tea, flipped through a book of favorite poems, and looked quite calm.

Wen Xian hesitated for a long time before deciding to speak: "Xianggong, just ...... When you kiss......"

Dong Ning raised his head in some surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

Wen Xian wanted to speak and stopped, and Dongning was a little impatient: "What's wrong?" But which brother or sister do you not remember? ”

Wen Xian's face turned red suddenly, feeling that Dongning's words were insulting herself, and said aggrievedly: "My mother's family has more brothers and sisters, I remember them all, how can I not remember how many brothers and sisters?" I mean...... Since the eldest brother has already split up and gone out, even if he has set up another house, since the elders have agreed that the juniors are ranked by their own families, why does the seventh aunt have to say that he is the eldest son and you are the second son? ”

Dong Ning frowned: "He is of the same Changfang bloodline as me, and he is older than me, so it doesn't matter if he is ranked together." Moreover, the seventh aunt also said that when the clan gathers, it will be called according to the ranking on the family tree. What are you doing when you bring up something that has already been discussed? ”

Wen Xian bit her lip: "I just think...... Since you and I are going to be the sons and daughters of the sect, what will be called the second brother and sister-in-law in the clan in the future...... If someone asks which one the eldest brother and sister-in-law are......"

Dong Ning's face sank, threw the poetry book on the table, and said impatiently: "It's just a false name for this kind of thing, why bother?" Mother is like this, and now you are like this, how long are you going to toss? It's the eldest brother who died in the north this time, and I'm still the second child in the long house, who told my mother that she didn't give birth to me two years earlier? is entangled in this kind of boring thing, and the most annoying thing is that the eldest brother never said that he would rob me of the position of the son of the sect, what are you doing to prevent him from doing one or two? What's more, this so-called position of the son of the sect, I don't think it's very interesting, if it weren't for my father's only son-in-law, I wouldn't bother to sit there" He stood up abruptly and looked at Wen Xian coldly: "Sister-in-law is your sister of the same clan, you should have been closer to her, but now you are going to make trouble for no reason, which is really chilling." Could it be that you treat your sisters so ruthlessly? "I didn't even care about the tea, I dropped my sleeves and left.

Wen Xian's eyes were red, so she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and cried, Shiqin couldn't stop Dongning, and hurriedly turned around to comfort Wen Xian: "Uncle must be tired, in a bad mood, and he didn't mean to murder Miss Xian's ......" Wen Xian choked: "I'm just upset with him, just say a few words, where is there going to be trouble?" I am his wife who is marrying back from the media, and I only visited the church yesterday, how can he treat me like this? ”

Shiqin surrounded Wen Xian and kept comforting her, and finally calmed her down, and persuaded: "Miss, don't worry, I think my uncle hasn't turned a corner for a while, and when the days go by, he will understand your hard work." ”

Wen Xian sobbed, "Didn't you hear him? He said that I treated the ninth sister ruthlessly, but in fact, where was the ninth sister? is actually saying that the marriage of the sixth sister was proposed by his family, and he also agreed, but in the end, the wood is already in the boat, but he blames me for being ruthless to the sixth sister? He is affectionate, why didn't he marry her in the first place? ”

Shiqin was stunned for a moment, a trace of helplessness flashed on her face, her eyes rolled a few times, and Fang said: "Miss, according to the slave maid, since my uncle agreed to this marriage and ignored Miss Six, it may not be unforgettable, maybe someone slandered Miss in my uncle's ear." Did you see that? The girl named Jialu just now was so affectionate with her uncle, and she didn't put Miss in her eyes. Do you remember what Miss Cousin said? Although Miss Cousin didn't mean well, her words weren't necessarily fake."

Wen Xian was shocked, and she couldn't bother to wipe her tears, so she hurriedly raised her head: "Really? No way? I know Miaolu, cousin last year...... No, when Xianggong went to Pingyang, he brought her with him. This Jialu must also be a bunch of people, all of them are old people. Cousin Duan was talking about the old people being kicked out, and the favored ones were the newly picked girls. But there's no girl like that in this house? ”

Shiqin said: "Think about it carefully, are Jialu's eyebrows and eyes a little like Miss Six?" Although her name is similar to Miaolu, she may not be an old man, maybe her aunt wants to make the girls' names neater? ”

Wen Xian recalled that she didn't feel it at first, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there were two or three things, and her heart suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave. If this affair with the girl is true, then the other things mentioned by Kerou ...... Could it be true?

Qiushui heard it outside the door, gritted his teeth secretly, and couldn't help but lift the curtain and go in: "Grandma Hugh wants to listen to Sister Shiqin's provocation, the slave has already inquired, that Jialu is the old man who waits in front of the eldest young master, and he has been in this house for five or six years, and he acts most justly and generously on weekdays. Grandma was suspicious of her for no reason, if she showed traces, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the other people in this courtyard? ”

Wen Xian was stunned for a moment, her expression softened a little, but Shiqin said: "Miss don't believe her, she must have been bought by that girl, otherwise she will serve the meaning of the second wife of the family, and she wants to coax Miss" Wen Xian was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know which one to believe.

Qiushui ignored Shiqin, and said to Wen Xian Zhengse: "Grandma, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, except for a few slaves and maids, and a two-room family, there is no other manpower. The big girl next to the eldest young master is the most important candidate, as long as they are subdued, and they are suppressed, who dares to disobey grandma's order? Don't be confused at this point."

Shiqin retorted: "Bah, you're really thick-skinned, and you don't know how much benefit you have from others, so you intercede for the people of the Liu family in turn?" Don't forget, whose slave are you?" and said to Wen Xian: "Miss, don't believe her, what is Jialu?" Depending on who she is, she is just a girl, her face is given by the master, not to mention that she deliberately provokes her aunt and miss, even if there is nothing wrong, she will be chased, will the old lady and the young master quarrel with the young lady for her? You are the eldest and youngest grandmother in this house, how can you call a girl to control it? ”

Wen Xian puffed up her chest, glanced at Qiushui, and said coldly, "Didn't you say that you were asked to wait outside?" I haven't told you yet, what are you doing running in? The waiter looked at her even more proudly: "It's almost time for lunch, you hurry up to the kitchen and take a look, is the food ready?" ”

A trace of humiliation flashed in Qiushui's eyes, and he didn't say much, lowered his head and bowed, and then withdrew. Listening to the waiter in the room Qin persuading Wen Xian how to appease Liu Dongning, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she flicked her sleeves and went to the kitchen.

She had already walked the road to the kitchen yesterday, so she recognized it, but when she was halfway there, she deliberately turned into another courtyard and greeted the mothers-in-law inside. One of the mothers-in-law greeted her with a smile: "Isn't this the autumn water girl?" How did you come to our sewing room? But what does the grandmother command? ”

Qiushui smiled: "Grandma asked me to go to the kitchen to see if lunch was ready, I passed by here, and I came to say hello to my mothers." What are moms doing? He leaned over to look at the needlework they had made, and sighed, "It's such a bright job, but we juniors don't have such good craftsmanship." ”

When a few mothers-in-law heard this, they were all happy: "Of course, a few of us have been embroidering for decades" "I see that the needlework of the Qiushui girl is also good, just look at your hand, I know that it is also a familiar hand." "If the girl likes it, just come and sit when she is free, and the old woman can probably afford to teach you."

Qiushui naturally thanked them a thousand times, and flattered them for a while before leaving. As soon as she left, the mothers-in-law whispered to each other: "Among the four girls who came over with the eldest grandmother, this girl is the most kind." ”

"Isn't it? The others, when they saw us, they didn't even have a straight eye, let alone say hello with a smile. It's a pity that she wasn't waiting in the house. I'm strange, she doesn't look bad, she talks and does things old, why is she not as decent as the others? I heard that at the grandmother's place, it was a rough job. The mother-in-law sighed twice, "I've never heard of anyone marrying a daughter and accompanying a girl who does rough work." ”

"You don't know that, do you? I heard my niece say that the young grandmother didn't like her, so although she was capable, she was not used. ”

"How did your niece and daughter know about this?"

"My sister-in-law's eldest sister-in-law married Shu Cong'an and became Uncle Xing's nurse, you know? After Uncle Xing went out separately, the Shu family also went with him, and now the whole family has a very decent errand, and his eldest daughter is waiting next to Grandma Xing, and the news is heard from them. Grandma Xing and our grandmother are sisters, and they must have heard the wind in their mother's house. Our young grandmother, I don't get along well with the wife who married my father-in-law, this Qiushui girl is the person of that wife."

"Yo ......" a mother-in-law smacked her mouth, "We have also seen the in-laws from afar, and they look very kind, and the two families are relatives, and I have never heard of anything bad about her?" Isn't it okay for grandma to do this? In the end, it is the mother's family. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" The mother-in-law, who had just provided important gossip, glanced at her mouth, "I look at this Qiushui girl as good, it's a pity that she is not reused." If it's in our house, maybe it will come out at some point. Aunt Bai likes to promote such a person the most, and the girl next to the eldest lady often says that it would be nice if there was a capable person to help her. ”

The other mother-in-law snorted: "Since the eldest and youngest grandmothers are married, except for the eldest and youngest grandmothers, others can't use them, so what do you mean by saying this?" ”

"Who says no?" The mother-in-law raised her eyebrows, "I just saw this Qiushui girl yesterday, she told me personally, if the old lady is gracious, and the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother have no objections, and several children in her family have not yet married, isn't this a good daughter-in-law?" ”

Other mothers-in-law laughed at her: "You're so beautiful, it's the young grandmother's dowry girl who has no face, and it's not something that your kid can climb, and I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue when I say this."

The mother-in-law was stunned, gave them a blank look, raised her head and said, "What if our family can't climb it?" It's a big deal that I'm going to be a matchmaker, there are a lot of kids in this house who haven't married a daughter-in-law, and the children of our family can't climb it, what about those few housekeepers? It's just a matter of a young grandmother's words."

Qiu Shui had already turned back from the kitchen at some point, and listened silently to the conversation outside the courtyard, closing his eyes, but soon opening them again.

She knew that she was gambling, as a dowry girl, unless she made a big mistake, it was impossible to go back home, since Wen Xian had no way out, then she could only find her from the Liu family and didn't believe it, Wen Xian would really marry her to a lowly person because of her selfish disgust, regardless of her own face, as long as she could marry the servants of the Liu family, her future fate would no longer be in the hands of Wen Xian
