idle mistress

Chapter 121 Faces
The woman was nice, she really opened the pot and filled a bowl for her.

Holding the bowl, Xu Weiqiu found a small bench and sat down to taste it carefully. The glutinous rice is really fragrant, with some salted egg yolk, small dried shrimps, and minced bacon. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste is just right for her appetite.

After a while, she ate up the whole bowl and sighed, "It's delicious."

The woman who served her rice said proudly, "Isn't it delicious? This is the secret glutinous rice made by our Kong family village. You can't eat it down the mountain."

After eating a bowl of glutinous rice, Xu Weiqiu turned around and left without embarrassment, chatting with the women.

Although she is not a social cow, she is the kind of person who can chat with anyone as long as she wants to, and she got acquainted with several women in a short time.

The women started to make rice cakes, and Xu Weiqiu was watching from the sidelines.

The way they make cakes is a bit special. A long, thick piece of wood is connected to a round wooden stick at one end, and a pedal at the other end. There is a support point in the middle. cake.

This saves time and effort.

Xu Weiqiu looked at it for a while, and suddenly became interested, and leaned forward to help.

After a while, the woman who was stepping on the pedal at the back was already dripping with sweat, and said pantingly, "I can't do it anymore, change someone."

Xu Weiqiu answered immediately, "I'll come."

The woman froze for a moment, looked at her slender arms and legs, and couldn't help asking in doubt: "Can you do it?"

"No problem." Immediately she rolled up her sleeves and took the place of the woman.

The ones who were tied up to the mountain were all rich and noble ladies, and they were usually servants, so how could they be able to do such rough work.

At first, the cooks thought she was just curious, and if she tried it, she would give up if she couldn't step on it. Unexpectedly, she looked delicate and strong.

After about Mo Zhuxiang's time, she still didn't change her expression, and she stepped on the board while chatting with the people around her.

For the convenience of work, Xu Weiqiu rolled up his sleeves. A young woman in her early thirties couldn't help reaching out and touching her arm, and asked enviously:

"Girl, what do you people in the city eat to grow? They are so juicy."

Kong Sansao, who served her glutinous rice, echoed, "That's right, this skin is more tender than my son's."

Xu Weiqiu smiled and said, "I'm sickly white because of less sun exposure. Only my sister-in-law's complexion is healthy."

The woman said: "What's sick? If I'm so white, I'd like to be sick."

As soon as these words came out, there was a cold snort from behind.

"Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it just that the skin is whiter and better dressed? Besides, what's so good about this thin skin and tender flesh?"

Xu Weiqiu turned his head and looked over, and saw that the speaker was a woman, very young, that is, in her early twenties, except for dark spots on her skin and lackluster hair, her appearance was remarkable, and her clothes were also brighter than other cooks.

The young woman kept silent in the corner, so Xu Weiqiu hadn't noticed such a person before.

Xu Weiqiu was about to speak, but was preempted by Mrs. Kong San who was in front of her: "Yuying, are you suffering from jealousy again?"

Yuying is the woman of the Erdangjia, who has been with the Erdangjia since she was 15 years old; last year, the Erdangjia brought back a sister from the foot of the mountain. She was jealous that the sister had robbed her of her favor, and pushed her down the mountain, throwing her to death alone. up.

For this reason, she was imprisoned by the head of the house for several months, but she couldn't keep her from dying in the prison, so the head of the house released her and sent her to the kitchen to help.

This Yuying thinks very highly of herself and has a poisonous tongue, so she has no popularity in this room.

At this moment, seeing this woman who doesn't know her background, she mingles with everyone as soon as she comes in, a group of people who usually don't understand her are full of praise for this strange woman.

She felt extremely uncomfortable...

Hmph, a group of shallow women who don't know what to say.

"What pink eye disease, third aunt, what do you mean?"

Seeing that she was impatient, the young woman next to her lightly tugged on Xu Weiqiu's cuff, and said in a low voice: "Girl, she's just like this, she doesn't have a nice word to say, so just ignore her."

Xu Weiqiu nodded, he didn't take it to heart at all.

She has long seen that this woman named Yuying is extremely excluded in this square inch of land.What does she have to care about with such a person.

It's just that once this Yuying disturbed her, the atmosphere in the kitchen became less harmonious.

Until Xu Weiqiu said goodbye and left, Mrs. Kong San looked at her leaving back and couldn't help sighing: "This girl has a really good face, her pearls are round and jade-like, and she looks rich and honorable."

Yuying, who was not far away, heard this, and said sarcastically, "What face, third aunt, if you know how to look at faces, you won't marry a bandit."

May I ask which man in this group is not a bandit? As soon as she said this, she immediately stabbed the hornet's nest, and Cao Dao fought back fiercely.

Amidst the accusations, Yuying heard one of them say: "I heard that the lady is the mistress of Huaicheng, the princess of Lingwang."

"Ah, the daughter-in-law of the royal family, no wonder she is so noble."

Ms. Kong San's face was shocked. In her opinion, which of the wives of high officials in the city is not unattainable and arrogant?This is still a princess, she is so approachable.

When Yuying heard that the woman was Princess Ling, she felt even worse.

She had heard a lot about the deeds of the King of Mausoleum, and she heard that he was a tall and mighty general galloping on the battlefield, with power overwhelming the sky.

Thinking of the woman's appearance just now, such a round and beautiful appearance, such a rich and noble appearance, in her opinion, King Ling's vision is nothing more than that...

Xu Weiqiu came out of the kitchen, and not long after, a group of little kids followed her far away.

The children were curious; they had never seen her, and they had never seen anyone so good-looking.The leading little boy even picked up small stones on the ground and threw them at her.

Seeing this, the little girl beside him felt that this was not good, but she couldn't hold it back no matter what.

Seeing this, the other children followed suit, picking up small stones and throwing them at Xu Weiqiu.

Xu Weiqiu couldn't dodge and was hit a few times.

She said to the children with a straight face, "What are you doing, stop now."

Before she finished speaking, a stone hit her forehead precisely.She couldn't help crying out in pain.

It hurts so much, the forehead is destined to be blue.

The good-looking face immediately pulled down: "Kids, I warn you, if you don't stop, I will fight back."

The little boy in the lead was very mischievous, sticking out his tongue at her with a grimace: "Who is your friend?" He also encouraged the children to continue attacking her.

Hmph, throwing pebbles, this is what Xu Weiqiu did 800 years ago.
