Chapter 1230 Famine and Natural Disaster 389

"The young lady won't be angry with us, right?"

Chunxi was a little unsure when they said that with trepidation on their faces, "It shouldn't be, the young lady is easy to get along with."

"Chunxi, you have been serving the young lady for so long. Do you think the young lady is really not angry?" Chunliu asked.

Chunhong looked at Chunxi uncertainly.

Chunxi couldn't help feeling uneasy after seeing this, and said to them uncertainly.

"I don't think so. The young lady has a good temper. As long as we don't violate her taboos when serving in the camp, she won't bother with us."

Chunliu shook her head, "But why do I feel like the young lady is angry?"

"You're not the only one. I also feel that the young lady seems angry." Chunhong echoed.

Chunxi felt uneasy, "This... or I will go back and apologize..."

"Forget it. The young lady actually asked us to leave. It's not appropriate for us to go back. Besides, the young lady didn't say she was angry or upset. Let's just leave it at that and don't mention it again."

Chunhong was relatively more stable and felt very regretful that she had lost her manners in front of the young lady.

There is no use regretting the past. You can only be more strict with yourself and not make the same mistake next time.

The three of them went to pack up the things they had received. Chunmei ran over and delivered the remaining portion to Butler Luo.

Butler Luo looked at the things in his hand and asked, "Have you arranged everything for the young lady?"

"To reply to Butler Luo, everything has been arranged."

"Well, you must serve the young lady with extra care. Go back and tell Chunhong, Chunliu, and Chunmei not to take advantage of the young lady's kindness and gentle temper and lose your original intention. You must serve the young lady properly, and then the young lady and the prince will definitely benefit from you when they leave."

Butler Luo took the trouble to give instructions.

Chunxi agreed with this very much. As long as he took good care of the young lady, the marriages of his sisters would not be too bad. Even if their parents did not value their daughters, they would pay more attention to them.

After all, she has gained favor in front of the master, so she will have more choices in marriage.

"Thank you very much for your advice, Steward Luo."

Butler Luo held something in one hand and waved with the other, then turned and left.

Chunxi stood there and watched Butler Luo leave. With a faint smile on her lips, she walked back in a good mood and tidied up the small house assigned to them with Chunhong and Chunliu.

Ever since they came to serve Miss Cheng, this room has been assigned to them to live in.

When Chunhong opened one of the oil-paper packages, she saw a snack. The snack was not expensive, but rather quite cheap.

But as servants, it was difficult for them to leave the house. Sometimes when they wanted to buy something, they had to ask others to help bring it to them.

The managers who came in and out of the inner and outer courtyards were all very willing to help. After all, the family's sons were more or less related to them, and every time they asked someone to help carry something, they would give a certain amount of compensation.

"I haven't eaten this sugar-coated baba for a long time." Honghong looked melancholy, staring at the only opened bag of snacks on the table absent-mindedly, muttering to herself, "Chunxi, you and Chunmei are so lucky to be chosen to serve Miss Cheng."

Chunliu walked forward, pinched a piece of sugar-coated baba and tasted it, saying, "It's the one at the south city gate. Only their sugar-coated baba is the most delicious, with a moderate sweet taste and not too greasy."

After hearing this, Chunhong also ate a piece, and when she put it in her mouth, she knew that what Chunliu said was true.

"It is indeed the Xu family's glutinous rice cake at the south city gate."

After Chunhong finished speaking, Chunliu looked up at Chunxi and said, "Chunxue, did you take the young lady to eat sugar-coated baba?"

These familiar sisters all know that the Xu family’s glutinous rice cake at the south gate of the city is the most delicious.

Others might not know. "That's not true. I happened to walk there when I was shopping with my wife. She saw that the sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes looked good, so she bought a few."

  Chunxi shook her head. She also thought it was quite novel at the time. Maybe it was just luck!

As they walked, they arrived at Xu's glutinous rice cake stall, and the young lady wanted to eat it immediately.

"That girl really knows how to eat!" Chunliu exclaimed.

Chunhong nodded in agreement, "I think the young lady is also a foodie, let's take a look at the food."

"Okay." Chunhong nodded in response.

The three of them gathered around the small table and opened the oil paper packages they had been given one by one.

Chunxi was fine, after all, she was shopping with us and buying things there.

The more Chunhong and Chunliu opened the oil paper package, the more surprises they found.

"Tanghulu, osmanthus cake, red bean cake, dry cheese, beef jerky, mutton jerky..."

When a string of food names were announced, the two of them couldn't help but be delighted.

It seems like every oil paper package opened is a surprise.

These house-born children had a relatively good life. They had their parents' respect and a monthly allowance, so they were not hungry or cold. Sometimes the masters would give them the leftover good things to share.

All the clothes, food and shelter come from the master.

She usually used the monthly allowance to buy some rouge and powder, and gave the rest to her parents, leaving very little money for her to keep.

"There are so many things to eat, young lady, you are so nice!"

When a snack set fell from the sky, Chun Liu was so happy that her face danced with joy and her cheeks flushed with excitement.

I saw her taking a piece and stuffing it into her mouth, nodding while eating, never forgetting to express her gratitude.

"The young lady is so kind, Chunxi, how about letting me go and serve her when she returns to the barracks this time?"

Chunhong looked at her with a smile on her face and said, "Don't worry about it. Chunxi and Chunmei were chosen by Steward Luo to be sent to the military camp. We will stay in the mansion and take care of the courtyard where the young lady lives."

"It's me who wants to go! The young lady is kind and beautiful. She will share some of the delicious food with us. If we follow her, there will definitely be endless delicious food."

As we were talking, the topic had already gone off track.

"You want to serve the young lady because there is food, but forget it. Butler Luo will not let you go, so just be honest and stop having wild thoughts."

Chunhong dissuaded her in time and dispelled her little thoughts.

Chunxi, on the contrary, felt that it was all right, as she had no intention of serving the young lady all the time.

Thinking of this, Chunxi said, "I have been serving the young lady for a while, so it is not easy for me to switch with you; but you can think about whether you are willing to follow the young lady in the future."

"Do you want to follow the young lady?" Chunliu asked curiously.

Chunhong glanced sideways and asked in a questioning tone, "Chunxi, do you really want to follow the young lady?"

"It's not me. My family has already agreed that after serving the young lady this time, we will go back to see her. I can't bear to leave my parents, but Chunmei has decided to follow the young lady."

Chunhong seemed to be thinking about something, and Chunliu opened her eyes wide, "When did Chunmei make the decision? Why haven't I heard her talk about it?"

Chunhong was also confused, she hadn't heard of it either.
