Chapter 15: Rivalry
Aunt Wang's eyebrows jumped, Aunt Zhao's words can be said lightly, Lin Yingsleeve is someone from the Zhou family, and she has just entered Pei Yuan's eyes. Aunt Zhao deliberately mentioned her matter, this is to take her to the top of the tank, in case Pei Yuan is unhappy, she will push it on herself.
"Look at what Sister Zhao said, our wife is a person who has no sense of proportion? Why do you have to expose my shortcomings? Wang Hongyi's eyes were red with anger, and she used a fan to cover her face and make a crying motion.
Lin Yingsleeve went out early in the morning after getting Zhou's orders, but at this time, if she said that Zhou asked her to come out, Zhou would definitely not spare her if she didn't come to Taiwan.
After thinking about it, he got up and knelt down, "Madam, it's not that the concubine is unruly, the second master asked me and my wife to talk about serving in the study early this morning." The concubine didn't dare to disobey the second master's will, so she asked his wife to deal with it. ”
Brother was impatient to hear it earlier, so he asked Vanilla to take him to the garden to catch grasshoppers, only his sister was by Zhou's side, and Zhou had never shied away from the way of the emperor, and he didn't mind letting his sister see the open and secret battles of the women in the house.
"Auntie, I accidentally broke the silk flower."
Zhou saw that the silk flowers in his sister's hand were not dismantled, so he only scolded her: "This is a flower made in the palace, and it has wasted good things. ”
The sister threw herself into Zhou's arms and was coquettish, and Zhou coaxed the child for a while, but because the next person brought tea in, she raised her head and asked everyone in surprise: "You haven't gone back yet?" ”
Aunt Zhao knew that the Zhou family was pretending to be stupid, gritted her teeth angrily, accompanied by a smile on her face, and said in a weird manner: "I don't care, but I am afraid that other sisters will not be convinced, saying that this family is selfish." ”
Zhou gently patted his sister's back and said casually: "You also know that you are in charge, you usually cross me in these little things, and you are pretending to be stupid with me today?" You say that according to the rules, who can say half a word about you, and think of me when you offend people, and you will be this fool if you replace you? ”
Aunt Zhou said that there was still needlework in the house that had not been done, so she said goodbye and left first. Aunt Wang also got up, but before leaving, she deliberately said to Aunt Zhao, "Didn't Mrs. say it, let you follow the rules, if you don't do it properly, let the outside say that we have no rules, see how you are!" ”
Because Aunt Zhao often comes with her own temperament, Zhou grabbed it and sued in front of Pei Yuan, saying that she had broken the rules and made people laugh. Give this sentence back to the Zhou family today, see how she protects her henchmen!
Lin Yingsleeve is not stupid, she waited here to be punished, and then got up and said goodbye, "Mrs., the second master will return at noon, if I go late, the second master will be blamed." Saying that, he put on a kind smile at Aunt Zhao, "The younger sister of the Zhao family slowly thought about what to do with me, and thought about sending a maid to the outer study to tell me, I must abide by the family rules." ”
After finishing speaking, the soles of her feet were oiled and slipped, obviously Aunt Zhao, Aunt Wang and Zhou's bar, Zhou's was in the main room and still pinched her deed of sale, Aunt Wang had her mother-in-law's support, and Aunt Zhao was Pei Yuan's childhood sweetheart. Either way, it's not the one she offends or the best policy.
Leaving Zhou's courtyard, Cai Ping let out a long breath, chased after Lin Yingsleeve and complained: "Auntie, look at you, how many days have you only been in the door, and Mrs. Zhao's punishment is not counted, even Aunt Zhao and Grandma said that the punishment is kneeling." ”
Lin Yingsleeve smiled silently, this is still the beginning! There will be a time of commotion in the future. "It's not worth anything, I know that you are scared with me, my wife has rewarded me with a lot of good clothes, and I have found a set to reward you."
Cai Ping was overjoyed, and first sent Lin Yingsleeve to the study, there were three or four rooms behind the study, which were originally for a few maids who served Pei Yuan, but now that Lin Yingsleeve moved in, she gave up two rooms to Lin Yingsleeve, and the remaining two rooms were given to the maids to live temporarily.
One of the maids serving here is Rong'er, who was born with seven or eight points of color, spoke fluently, and was most loved by Pei Yuan. Lin Yingsleeve took the initiative to help the maid clean up the house, with a somewhat flattering smile on her face.
Lin Yingsleeve knew from the maid's mouth that this maid was also arranged by the Zhou family, and the other one was named Lu Fu, who was about a decade old, born charming and graceful, and was Aunt Zhao's niece.
Aunt Zhao sold it to the Hou Mansion, and recognized the old lady as the godmother, and Lu Fu was the granddaughter of the old companion room.
Lu Fu leaned on the threshold and watched the subordinates busy with their work, and she had already accumulated resentment in her heart, after all, Lin Ying's sleeves were placed there, and she only stared at Rong'er and said sharply: "We are the ones who serve the second master, even the wife should be looked up to, and an aunt is also worth your rush?" I see that you are counting on the new aunt to carry you, but I'm afraid she doesn't have the ability! ”
This is said very explicitly, everyone can hear it, Rong'er pouted and said: "Lufu, here is handed over to the little aunt and grandmother to take care of, it was ordered by the second master, I just help clean up, but also for the second master to share the worries, I don't know if I carry it or not, I only know the duty of being a girl!" ”
Lu Fu's face was red as if dripping blood, and she said in a sharp voice: "The girl also depends on whose maid it is. ”
Lin Yingsleeve knew that Lu Fu was angry and looking for trouble for Aunt Zhao, and the outer study was Pei Yuan's place, don't look at the women here, there are inevitably Pei Yuan's people, Pei Yuan's temperament is known, she first came to quarrel with the maid and spread to Pei Yuan's ears, what has become of her?
"Miss Green Fu is the granddaughter of the old lady's room, the second master looks at her differently and accepts her as a person in the house, I didn't call you, why is Miss Green Fu so angry? Or if I'm not good, I'll make it clear in front of the second master for a while, if it's really my fault, I'll apologize to the girl. ”
Seeing Lin Yingsleeve talking, Lu Fu immediately lowered the curtain and went back to her room to sulk without mentioning it.
At noon, the kitchen brought the meal, there were two more dishes than yesterday, and the rice used was the same as Zhou's, so Lin Yingsleeve asked more: "I remember that my aunt's share is not like this, is it a mistake?" ”
The servant in the kitchen quietly replied: "This rice is only available to the masters, the little aunt and grandmother are privately honored by our kitchen, this bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken soup is rewarded by the wife, and this assorted Ruyi cake is a part of the outer study, and the aunt and grandmother can only tell the slave what they want to eat in the future, so that they can't be in the official, and they don't have to worry about the wife and several other aunts and grandmothers gossiping." ”
waited for the people to leave, Caixi explained: "These people are our grandmother who has fallen into the eyes of the second master, and they are in a hurry. Auntie and grandma look at it, there will be any good things if you have a face. ”
The meal was only halfway through, and the grandmother in the front hall came over to call people: "The second master is back, who is going to serve." ”
The maid hurriedly pulled up Lin Ying's sleeves, and when she arrived at the door, Rong'er and Lu Fu also came out, Lu Fu changed her previous skinny appearance, and said loudly with a smiling face: "It is our maid's duty to serve the master, aunt and grandmother, you still go back to the house and wait for others to serve, but don't practice yourself and make people laugh." ”
