Chapter 16: Serving in the Study
Lu Fu grabbed the door of the advanced study in front of Lin Ying's sleeve, walked to Pei Yuan with tea in her hand, and called out delicately: "Master-" The voice seemed to be with two catties of honey, sweet and greasy.
Pei Yuan didn't take the tea, directly ignored the green tea, and asked, "Didn't I call someone to serve here." ”
Lu Fu didn't give up, and was about to speak, when Lin Yingsleeve took the prepared green pear soup and just walked in.
Pei Yuan asked Rong'er to bring the soup and said to Lin Yingsleeve: "Didn't the person who arranged for you to enter Pei's Mansion tell you that I don't like to drink sweet soup?" ”
Lin Yingsleeve bit her lip, feeling a little aggrieved, the Zhou family arranged for her to be a concubine for Pei Yuan, and said nothing else.
When Lu Fu heard this, she showed a smug expression on her face, she deliberately glanced at Lin Yingsleeve, and followed behind Pei Yuan, "Master, she is a newcomer, she doesn't understand anything, so let the slave maid serve you." ”
Pei Yuan didn't refuse, but her eyes swept over Lin Yingsleeve intentionally or unintentionally, at this time she was setting up the table with the maid in the kitchen, and she personally checked every dish.
After arranging, he went into the back room to ask for instructions: "Second master, the meal has been arranged, please show the second master." ”
Pei Yuan looked at Lin Yingsleeve's appearance as a little daughter-in-law who had done something wrong, and wanted to laugh a little, picked up the sweet soup served by Lin Yingsleeve, and tasted it, it was sweet but not greasy, and it was very refreshing.
Pei Yuan drank half a cup before putting it down, but the heat on his body subsided a lot, "The soup is good, let's boil some more and prepare for it tomorrow." ”
Lin Yingsleeve raised her head, her eyes flashing with light.
When Pei Yuan walked past her, he rubbed her head dotingly, "Let's go, let's eat." ”
Pei Yuan sat down, Lin Yingsleeve stood there like a papaya, she remembered the rules that the concubine should follow, and she could only stand when the master was sitting.
"Sit down, don't be so restrained, you are also the master of this house." Lin Yingsleeves are like this, Pei Yuan is a little awkward, the concubine is not like a concubine, and the girl is not like a girl.
Lin Yingsleeve also felt that she was too nervous, she was ready to be a concubine, but if it was Pei Yuan, it would be another matter. Pei Yuan and Lin Yingsleeve are concerned, there is always an indescribable and unclear feeling.
"Second master, Aunt Zhao said today that she broke the rules of the house, and it is difficult to deal with it because she is here." Lu Fu was a little unwilling, Aunt Zhao didn't do a good job, and she would have no place in Pei's Mansion in the future.
Pei Yuan only cared about eating and didn't speak, and the Zhou family chose Lin Yingsleeve as the concubine, not only to serve the bed, but also to serve the housekeeper. Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou are from humble backgrounds, and Aunt Wang is the old lady's cronies, but Lin Yingsleeve is hired to let her be in charge, no one has anything to say, and now the first thing is whether she has the ability to suppress the people below.
Lin Yingsleeve had enough of being angry in her last life, how can she be willing to endure it again in this life?
She pointed to the soup and said to Lufu, "Bring me a bowl." ”
Lu Fu was suddenly angry, only angry in front of Pei Yuan, glanced at Lin Yingsleeve, snorted disdainfully, and stopped talking.
Lin Yingsleeve put the bowl down heavily and scolded coldly: "Deaf, aren't you?" The master also speaks like this, it can be seen that he is a slave! ”
Seeing Lin Yingsleeve scolding her as a minion, Lu Fu was annoyed and ashamed, and did not give in, "I am a minion, and you are not much more noble than me." I was sold to this house as a maid, and you are just a servant bought from the house......"
Rong'er took a step back, gently tugged at Lufu's sleeve, shook her head at her, and motioned for her not to say anything more.
Pei Yuan still turned a deaf ear, and did not stop the noise between the concubine room and the room, he wanted to see if this Lin Yingsleeve was as good as Zhou's praise.
Lin Yingsleeve was not annoyed or angry, and only instructed the maid beside her: "Go and ask Aunt Wang next to my wife to show me, just say that the maid in the house bumped into me, and shouted in front of the second master what to do." ”
Although Lin Yingsleeve came from a humble background, and she didn't be an official wife for a day in her previous life, let alone the way of the emperor, she knew that if she quarreled with Lu Fu, she was afraid that if she didn't make a mistake, she would be wrong.
What's more, she is the master, and she quarrels with the maid with a red face and a thick neck, and she is not punished, so won't anyone in this house be able to quarrel with her in the future?
Lu Fu snorted coldly, still ignoring Lin Ying's sleeves, but squeezed around Pei Yuan to serve, Pei Yuan was half-full and put down his chopsticks, and when he saw Lin Ying's sleeves get up, he only asked her to sit down and eat, no need to be polite, he didn't even look at Lu Fu, and went to the study.
Lin Yingsleeve continued to eat, she was still a long age, she married into the Tang family in her last life, and the Tang family's mother-in-law often picked and punished her for not being allowed to eat, and she was hungry many times and had a problem with hunger.
After a while, the little maid replied to Lin Yingsleeve's words, "Mrs. instructed, no matter which girl dares not to listen to you, just ask the little girl to pull out and fight, and you don't have to show everything." ”
Lin Yingsleeve stood obediently, and then accompanied by a smile, and said softly: "This is mine, my wife is not in good health, and I shouldn't bother her with trivial things, but I didn't ask you to go back to the lady in charge, how did you get back to Mrs.?" ”
The little maid didn't speak, and after a while, Wang Xi's family brought two rough grandmothers and asked them to tie up Lufu and go out to fight.
Lu Fu was anxious, knelt at the door of the study and begged Pei Yuan for forgiveness, there was no sound inside, Lin Yingsleeve saw that Lu Fu was just crying and begging, so he scolded: "The second master is reading the official documents inside, you don't say that you are quiet, but you are noisy, why don't you go out and kneel for me." ”
Lu Fu gritted her teeth with hatred, and in front of Pei Yuan, she didn't dare to distinguish with Lin Yingsleeve.
Wang Xi's impatience asked someone to drag Lu Fu out, and whispered to Lin Yingsleeve: "The second master asked you to come to the study to serve, if you keep messing with these little girls, make the second master unhappy, and the wife will also be unhappy." ”
Lin Ying's sleeves jumped, sure enough, fortunately she didn't quarrel with Lu Fu anymore, otherwise it would be her turn to fight today.
Sent away Wang Xi's house, Lin Yingsleeve personally made tea under the corridor, and this tea-making skill was still obtained by washing the clothes for a month for a female gentleman from a large family in her previous life. I used to think that Tang Moxing would study at night, but I was afraid that he would be sleepy and delay his study, so I deliberately went to study.
Pei Yuan tasted it, although the taste was average, but after drinking it, he felt clear and clear, "How did you cook this tea, the taste is different from what I usually drink." ”
Seeing Pei Yuan's joy, Lin Yingsleeve was also happy, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's my father who reads at night, I'm afraid that he will be sleepy, so I learned from others, and I added a little mint leaves, licorice and black plum when making tea." ”
Pei Yuan became interested, picked up the tea and drank two more sips, "I think you should be able to grind, come and help." ”
Lin Yingsleeve agreed, grinding for Pei Yuan on the side, and didn't say much.
About two hours later, after Pei Yuan finished reviewing the official document, Lin Yingsleeve stood obediently behind Pei Yuan, pinching his shoulders for him, and his strength was slightly heavier.
"The second master endures it, will his shoulders be swollen tomorrow after pressing it? The second master sits for too long on weekdays and rarely moves his shoulders and neck, so it is a little hard. ”
