Chapter 159: Maid Exchange
But it was said that the Qi family, who was far away in Pingcheng at this time, was reading the letter, and the various discussions were not expressed for the time being, and for the time being, Qi Min'er in the palace, she listened to the words of Aunt Zhao next to her, and said with some apprehension:
"Now that this letter has been sent, I think they should have received it, I really hate to go out to meet them, others now look at it as noble, but what I am thinking about in my heart is still the Qi family."
While saying this, Qi Min'er frowned slightly, Aunt Zhao listened to Qi Min'er's words, but she didn't even dare to raise her head, since she took power, her master has become more and more calm, even if Aunt Zhao once saw her identity in the Huanyi Bureau, but at this time she was quite obedient.
But those who serve now, who have not despised her because of Qi Min'er's identity in the past, and feel that her family background is not outstanding, but she is a little favored, but because of Qi Min'er's series of methods, they have already been very obedient, and they are even more new than the previous atmosphere.
Seeing that Qi Min'er was a little unhappy, Aunt Zhao's posture was more obedient, I saw her walking up to Qi Min'er and handing over a plate of dim sum, only to see that the shape of the dim sum was quite interesting, and they all looked quite refreshing, she whispered:
"Let's eat some pastries, I heard that the taste of this pastry is very good, and it was specially sent in from outside the palace."
Qi Min'er raised her eyes and glanced at the pastry, but now she didn't have much appetite, so she saw Qi Min'er waving her hand casually and said:
"Take these down, I really don't have much appetite, if my aunt likes it, you can pick and eat it yourself."
Qi Min'er has been worried about the Qi family now, even though this pastry looks quite good, she doesn't have much appetite, Qi Min'er sat on the chair a little lazily, her expression was quite cold, Aunt Zhao was not discouraged when she saw this, I saw her whispering:
"Have you ever seen the letter from the Qi family, and heard that they seem to be doing some pastry business, but I don't know how?"
Qi Min'er was a little surprised that Aunt Zhao didn't follow her order to retreat, after all, although Aunt Zhao in the past was the most relied on in the Yufu Palace, she was always cautious in her work, and she didn't do anything to oppress people, let alone serve pets, so for Aunt Zhao who was so polite, Qi Min'er was also willing to give her some face.
But at this time, it was obvious that she was not in a good mood, Aunt Zhao mentioned the Qi family, except to make her miss it more, Qi Min'er frowned slightly and looked at Aunt Zhao, with a slight dissatisfaction in her expression.
It's just that she still values Aunt Zhao a little bit in the end, so she just said perfunctorily: "That's what the letter said, but in the past, they were so casual in the Hou Mansion, illustrating and drinking tea every day, but now they have to shout and sell things everywhere, but although I have many rewards, most of them have some marks in the palace.
It's just a matter of watching, if I want to sell it to them, but I can't, but I don't know if they got the silver tickets they made up, do you want to go out of the palace again and ask Wu Shizi about his news? I heard that it seems that the son of the Zheng family is responsible for delivering the news, but I don't know what they will think when they get the news, so I will wait for the monthly silver to be sent, and then I will save it and send it to them."
Speaking of this, Qi Min'er couldn't help but feel a little more anxious, but she didn't expect Aunt Zhao to smile slightly when she saw this, only to see her retreat the pastry in Qi Min'er's direction, and in front of Qi Min'er's puzzled gaze, she said with a light smile:
"Since Niangniang misses it, you might as well try this pastry, this is the talented cake made by the lady and the ladies of the Qi family, I heard that many people outside like it, and it was also specially brought by that Zheng Gongzi when he came to Beijing, but it is not as fresh as the one that has just come out of the cage, but the slave maid looks at it compared to the small kitchen, but it is not bad, it is better for you to taste the taste." Chinese Net
As soon as she heard this, Qi Min'er was a little surprised at first, and then changed her casual attitude just now, picked up a piece of pastry very seriously and tasted it carefully, her eyes were red while tasting, and she said with some aftertaste:
"It tastes really good, the next time that Zheng family son comes, remember to thank him for his kindness for me."
originally thought that the Qi family was just looking for an excuse so that she didn't have to worry so much, but I didn't expect that they were indeed not depressed because of exile
, but made this genius cake, thinking of this, Qi Min'er was a little proud at first, and then a little ashamed, the pride lies in the bearing of her Qi family, whether they were marquis in the past, or now they are exiled, they seem to be able to enjoy themselves.
At the same time, Qi Min'er's shame was because of herself, compared to the rest of the Qi family, she seemed to be a little too self-pitying, but now she knew that it was not to comfort her, but the rest of the Qi family was not bad, Qi Min'er also breathed a sigh of relief, and then she felt a little hungry, so she hurriedly ate a few more bites of the pastry, and then said to Aunt Zhao:
"In that case, then go according to the previous plan, you tell Li Baolin, just say that if she still thinks about her left and right, thinking about the two ends of the first rat, I am not easy to fool."
While saying this, Qi Min'er smiled coldly, now Li Baolin is getting more and more delayed, but she was concentrating on writing letters to the Qi family because of Zheng Xiuyu's coming, so she didn't have time to deal with her, and now that she is idle, she is naturally not the kind of person who is handled by the other party.
Seeing her master cheering up, Aunt Zhao also nodded happily, shouldn't they, who are slaves and maids, always be able to rely on their own masters? The more favored the master, the higher the status of the master, the more faceless they are as slaves and maids, thinking of Qi Min'er's demeanor, although Aunt Zhao's face is still very calm, but the smile in her eyes can't be hidden.
If Aunt Zhao is carefully looking at Qi Min'er's face to do things, then the rest of the Jade Fu Palace, Qi Min'er's status as the lord of the Jade Fu Palace is too high, how can these maids have the qualifications to enter and serve, all they can speculate and guess is Aunt Zhao's face.
Seeing that Aunt Zhao seemed to be in a good mood, the atmosphere in the Yufu Palace was also relaxed, so the maids dared to laugh occasionally.
But Li Baolin's side began to get angry, although Qi Min'er was busy with the Qi family's affairs before, and she didn't have time to come to Li Baolin to settle accounts in person, but she casually went to order, and those stewards would naturally treat Li Baolin skillfully.
After all, one is a concubine with the right to be favored and positioned, and the other is a six-grade Baolin, they all know which one to choose? In addition, Li Baolin has always been unfavored, and their attitude is even more contemptuous, so whether it is monthly silver, or eating those things like that.
Li Baolin's delivery is extremely slow, and the things are also very perfunctory, there is a shortage of catties and two, many of them are not the specifications of her position, and the palace maids around Li Baolin are also ridiculed by others when they go out, no, the little palace maid who just went out to get food began to complain quietly again.
Li Baolin, the master, had a bad temper, so she naturally didn't dare to complain, so she could only chatter outside the window and pull another maid and said:
"Don't you know, now others know that I am from Li Baolin's side, everyone gives me that kind of cold rice, Baolin originally said that he wanted to eat tamales, but I went to say it but they ridiculed what they pampered and wanted this, let us have the ability to open a small kitchen ourselves, and cook what we want to eat, they are not willing to serve us."
You see, I finally had such a little leftovers at that time, and I listened to them scolding Huai along the way, and the little lord had to screw me again after a while, really."
As she spoke, she stumbled and stumbled, venting her dissatisfaction, and the palace maid next to her seemed to nod with some sympathy, and also complained: "But no, you said that it is the same little master, we dare not compare with the one in Yufu Palace, but no matter how much our little master says it, it is also a six-grade Baolin, but I didn't expect me to go to get the monthly silver, but I was ridiculed by a little maid next to an eight-grade girl."
You said that they are all slaves, why should we all blame the little master......
Before the maid had finished speaking, she heard the door of the bedroom slam open, and then she saw Libaolin come out angrily, still holding a vase in her hand, and saw her fall towards the maid and said:
"Hmph, you guys are really good, the money allocated by the Internal Affairs Office asked you to serve me, but I didn't expect you to serve the master one by one without paying attention, but you learned to chew the root of your tongue behind your back, it's really a good rule."
Listening to the crisp sound of the vase, the two little palace maids knelt down in fear, and kept explaining that they didn't dare
。
But Li Baolin is still angry, she was originally canonized as Baolin, it was the time to be proud, and she is of the same grade, and only she has a title, but I didn't expect that soon Li Baolin was slapped in the face, His Majesty favored the harem, and the lack of Du Du forgot her, making her Baolin a joke.
And those snobbish eyes saw that she was not favored, and now it was Concubine Qi Xian who was in charge of the affairs in the palace, in order to please her, they targeted her even more, especially a little maid next to a girl who beat her, the maid next to Baolin, originally her position was higher than that of the other party, and she should punish the other party.
But she didn't expect Concubine Qi Xian to just let the aunts around her each reprimand a few words, and the most important thing was that she also gave a special opinion to Na Cai Nu once, giving the other party face, and her behavior made the others treat her even more contemptively.
How could Li Baolin not know that this was Qi Min'er using these people's hands to put pressure on her, thinking that she would use this to let her do that thing about the Liu family, but Li Baolin was unwilling, so she kept refusing, but Concubine Qi Xian's attitude was obviously more aggressive, and she was still angry because of this.
