Ji Man wiped his tears and said with a wry smile: "The slave maid was locked up in the Siguo Pavilion by the Hou Ye, where can I have a good life." The house is full of things that are high and low, and no one cares about them, so they lose their rules and take some leftovers and slaves every day. The slave and maid were very hungry yesterday, so they went to the kitchen to steal food, and accidentally caused a fire, which almost caused a catastrophe. ”

Wen Wan's brows furrowed: "It's the concubine of the Hou Mansion, where is the reason to eat leftovers." If it spreads, people will laugh at my Hou Mansion, and I can't even afford to raise a concubine!"

Ji Man nodded lightly, and kowtowed to Wen Wan again: "Madam is a good character, I don't know how much better than the slave's temperament, I want to accompany Hou Ye for a lifetime." But the temperament is too good, and it is inevitable that some Diao slaves will think that you are easy to bully, so there is no individuality. ”

This sentence was said decently and generously, and Wen Wan nodded again and again when she listened, thinking that this Nie Sangyu was not as arrogant and unreasonable as the legend, at least what she said now is reasonable, even if she is thinking about it, she can't let the house slave bully her.

"I know, if someone from the kitchen will be found later, you can go back to the room first, the kitchen will be dry and dry. Said gently.

"Thank you, ma'am. Ji Manli prostrated his head after several weeks.

Wen Wan turned around and walked out of the yard, called Sandalwood and went to the kitchen. Alfalfa slipped into the door and hurriedly came over to help Ji Man up: "What did the master just say?" Madame looks so angry. ”

Ji Man smiled, pulled the alfalfa into the house and closed the door, and then said, "Do you understand that retreat is to advance?"

Sativa is at a loss.

Ji Man knocked on her forehead and said in a low voice: "Those minions clearly bullied you and I was snubbed by Master Hou, and deliberately didn't give you food, otherwise you went so early, how could there always be no food." They thought I couldn't sue if I was locked up, and I just turned myself in with my wife, saying that I stole the chicken. ”

Alfalfa was taken aback: "You... You tell Madame that if she..."

"No, it won't. Ji Man shook his head: "Let's not say that Madame is a good person, even if she wants to embarrass me, it is impossible to take this matter." She will only help me hide it, otherwise, if the concubine of the Hou Mansion steals something to eat, it will be the face of the entire Hou Mansion. ”

Alfalfa thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "So that's the case, the master is so smart!"

Reaching out and touching the non-existent beard, Ji Man said with a smile: "Where, let's see what kind of food we can eat at night, and when the silver from Dr. Li comes back, we still have something to do." ”

Alfalfa felt more and more as if her master had been suddenly reborn, but she liked the current one more than the original master, so she didn't think about it. Anyway, following this master, she has benefits.

In the afternoon, two more handkerchiefs were embroidered, and Ji Man's speed was getting faster and faster, and Mama Liu came to see her embroidering twice. Looking at the handkerchief, it is also lifelike and very delicate.

Mama Liu felt strange, what happened to this mulberry master? What she has done lately, she can't usually do. However, the whole person doesn't look so sharp, but it makes people feel a lot more comfortable, if they are willing to be obedient and don't make Hou Ye angry, it is also a good thing.

As soon as Mrs. Hou took the throne, she rectified the discipline of her subordinates, and set the rules for the meals in each room and courtyard, and the aunt had three dishes and one soup for lunch and dinner, and two meats. The concubine had lunch and dinner, two dishes and one soup, and one meat. If there is a few, all rooms and courtyards, including Siguo Pavilion, can go to the lady to make the decision.

Everyone didn't understand why Mrs. started with the meal, but the kitchen has always been a heavy place for oil and water, and such a rule has damaged the interests of many people, and some servants in the house are dissatisfied with Wen Wan behind their backs.

Ji Man was very happy, and he read it a hundred times in his heart, and there was only a heroine in the world, and there was a plate of shredded green pepper meat on the table, although the shredded meat didn't seem to be much, but there was meat anyway! Alfalfa boldly asked the kitchen for two more bowls of rice, and the two masters and servants sat down and stood together, and had dinner with satisfaction.

At least you won't be hungry at night, right?

The next day, Dr. Li brought the silver from the sale of the jewelry, a total of two hundred and thirty taels, Ji Man thanked him with a smile, and put the thirty taels in his medicine box. Dr. Li was so frightened that he refused again and again, and Alfalfa helped persuade him to accept it with great gratitude.

Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount, and Nie Sangyu's monthly silver is only five taels and five dollars. However, it is still necessary to give, and there are some places where you can't feel sorry for money.

"It seems that the person in charge of the kitchen is that Aunt Zhao, right?" asked Ji Man while embroidering a handkerchief.

Alfalfa nodded, wrinkled her nose and said: "Aunt Zhao is a little fierce, people are not easy to get along with, I heard that she is a distant relative of Mr. Qian, and the subordinates generally flatter her." ”

Ji Man said: "You and I have been thinking about the period, but you can still go to the kitchen." When I went today, I secretly stuffed her with five taels of silver, and asked her to find a place when there was no one, and come to the pavilion for a trip. ”

"What is the master going to do?" asked Alfalfa curiously.

Ji Man smiled: "The Buddha said: Don't say. ”
