Chapter 316: Going to the Banquet
The two little maids were already delicate and cute, but after dressing up like this, they only felt more cute.
The other group of girls looked at the two of them, their eyes were full of envy, they were all bought together, but the two of them were selected by the lady to follow them to the banquet, does this mean that the two of them have become the long-term maids by the lady's side?
He Jiuniang quickly dispelled their thoughts, looked at them and said: "I don't choose a long-term follower for the time being, as long as each of you performs well, you will have the opportunity to follow me out, I will take you a few times to see what advantages and disadvantages you have, and then decide who will be the long-follower." ”
This is to carry out the involution to the end, there must be healthy competition between people, so that it will become better and better, He Jiuniang bought them back not to let them eat dry food, and everyone must be used in the right position.
As soon as they said this, the other girls immediately smiled, they still had a chance, so they must fight for themselves.
But I haven't been happy for too long, and I heard He Jiuniang say again: "But I don't want to see you intrigue for this, what I said is that your performance depends on your own ability, not by framing others to improve yourself, once I find intrigue, I will sell you directly." ”
The girls responded again and again, and He Jiuniang nodded with satisfaction, and prepared to go out with the two little maids.
"I happen to be going to the Yamen, I'll send you to the banquet."
Lu Baichuan happened to come over from the study, and he naturally came to hold her hand.
He Jiuniang thinks about the prefect's house and the yamen of Huoyun Division, should not be on the way, right?
But looking at the happy appearance of the man next to him, he still couldn't say the words of refusal after all.
Yueyun and Yueshu glanced at each other, and then obediently followed behind.
It's been a few days since they came to the house, and they know what to do and what not to do.
Although the third master has injuries on his body, he never wants to be served, let alone a maid or a small servant, and usually he doesn't even let these maids get close.
And it can be seen that the relationship between the third master and the third lady is very good, no matter how busy he is, the third master will find time to accompany the third master, and although the lady looks a little indifferent on the surface, in fact, she still has the third master in her heart, otherwise she would not see that the third master is still busy in the study at night, and the person who was going to sleep got up and personally made milk tea for the third master.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the friendship between them is there, but they are later, and it is not very clear why the husband and wife sleep in separate rooms.
Sister-in-law Xu's family should know, but the master's private affairs are not something they should inquire about, so everyone is smart not to ask, as long as the master's family is served well.
He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan walked in front and got into the carriage, and the two little maids were walking outside.
There were only two of them in the carriage, and He Jiuniang asked, "Have you told King Chen about this matter?" ”
"Well, someone has been sent to deliver the letter, and the situation in the national capital has been tense recently, so I don't worry about using carrier pigeons."
He Jiuniang nodded, originally wanted to ask King Chen if he had any plans, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to discuss this issue, so he still didn't ask anything.
Lu Baichuan said again: "Go to the banquet today, pay attention to yourself, don't be bullied." ”
Hearing this, He Jiuniang only felt that she wanted to laugh, what kind of person is she, how could she be easily bullied?
"Know, don't worry, you can do your thing with peace of mind, don't worry about me."
"Okay, I'll pick you up when I'm done in a while."
He Jiuniang nodded but didn't speak, she actually wanted to say no, but she swallowed back when the words came to her mouth.
I have to admit that she seems to have gotten used to him sending her out every day and picking her up again.
Habit is really a terrible thing, she knows it, but she doesn't reject it at all.
When I arrived at the door of the prefect's house, I found that several carriages had been parked here, and each car had a coachman guarding it, waiting for his wife and young lady to come out.
is different from He Jiuniang, after she got down, she waved her hand at Lu Baichuan, and the car left.
There were two coachmen next to him whispering: "Whose lady is this, who is so good-looking but so shabby, and there is no separate car for the banquet." ”
Another person hurriedly said, "What do you know? Look at which one she wears is vulgar? ”
"That's what I said......"
The discussion was very small, but He Jiuniang could hear it, but she didn't mind, Yueshu next to her showed the invitation, and Yueyun presented the gift she brought, and then, under the leadership of the maid sent by the prefect's family, she went to the backyard together.
The ladies and ladies of this city like to travel together, and many of them are acquaintances, and after they come, they get together to talk in twos and threes.
Only He Jiuniang came alone, and the maid took her to a small pavilion.
Fruits and snacks were placed on the table in the pavilion, and the little maid said, "Before the feast begins, the lady can walk around the garden and make friends with some other ladies and ladies, and when the feast begins, the slave maid will come and take the lady there." ”
The little maid looks very happy, her face is round, and her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she laughs, like a little Fuwa.
The voice of the voice is also very sweet, He Jiuniang generally has no resistance to this kind of sweet girl, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go around by myself, you go and get busy." ”
The garden of the prefect's house still has some characteristics, there are a lot of famous flowers and plants planted in it, and they are all well trimmed, and it can be seen that the prefect's wife is very leisurely and elegant.
On this hot day, He Jiuniang was really not in the mood to wander around under the sun, so she simply didn't go anywhere, and sat down directly in the pavilion.
After tasting a piece of pastry, it was sweet and greasy, and it was hard, and Yueyun beside her hurriedly poured her a cup of tea, and said, "Madame, be careful, this pastry is not as soft as in our house, and it must be used with tea." ”
Yes, this pastry is a characteristic of this era, it may be that life is very bitter, so the pastry is made very sweet, and it is hard, these nobles can eat a piece of pastry with a pot of tea all day.
And those in their family are different, they were improved by He Jiuniang for Fangzi, soft and glutinous, with moderate sweetness, plus a few sisters-in-law's cooking skills are okay, and the things they make are very delicious.
"Then I won't eat it, just hide it."
As she spoke, she stuffed the pastry into her sleeve, and wanted to throw it into the space casually, but Yueyun pulled her sleeve away at her.
"Slave and maid help Mrs. keep it."
"Okay."
He Jiuniang gave the pastry to Yueyun, took another sip of tea, felt a little bored, and always felt as if she had come early.
Yueshu pointed to the crowd not far away and said, "Third Madam, it seems that someone is coming towards us. ”
Lu Baichuan's status is not low now, so many ladies and young ladies who came today He Jiuniang didn't need to salute them, she glanced over there lightly, and said: "Come on, come on, it's just that I'm bored, it's not bad to come and have a few people to chat with me." ”
