On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 304 Neighbor 1
Yiqing snickered from the side: "Fortunately it wasn't me who made the mistake. Girl, please punish her."

Yan's mother walked in with snacks. When she heard her words, she also glared at her: "You have to call me eldest mistress. Master is fine, but you can't call me girl anymore."

Yiqing also realized that she had shouted wrongly, stuck out her tongue, turned around and went to make the bed and fold the quilt.

Xiao Xiao no longer has any hope in the intelligence of the people around her.

It is enough to just hope that they will be loyal enough to ignore the wind and be able to control the inner ghosts and external ghosts.

Menghui also slipped out and brought over the food that was hot on the stove with Mother Hu.

The mother-in-law, the maid, and the boy can have enough to eat for three meals. It is not easy to eat well.

Breakfast is porridge and steamed buns, and lunch and dinner are brown rice and two vegetables, with some meat in the vegetables.

Of course, during festivals or happy events in the house, meat dishes will be added.

The maid, the housekeeper, and the housekeeper of the outer courtyard all have rice, two dishes and one soup.

Then if she asks Mother Hu and the others to spread the word now, the people who are tampering with her in secret will probably feel guilty if they hear it, and they should not dare to do anything next time.

Nowadays, if you have a bad stomach, you can't just take a few pills to stop the diarrhea. You don't know how many bitter pills you have to take.

In my memory, I was very happy to have meat to eat.

But even if there are untouched dishes on the table, the masters will not eat them again, which will be an advantage to the people below.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao is not willing to wrong himself when he can enjoy it.

Xiao Xiao nodded firmly: "Yes, go and eat whatever you want."

However, the important area in the kitchen was occupied by Mrs. Li, and she did not dare to offend everyone by going up there, for fear that they would mess with her meals.

Even if there are delicacies on the table, there are only a few people eating and many people busy making friends, so most of the food on the table is leftover.

As soon as she became conscious, she was given medicine by her cheap father. Later, when she got injured and fell ill, she had to drink Chinese medicine that was so bitter that it made people question their life.

On the way to escape, I felt nauseated after eating sweet potatoes, and there were only a few grains of rice in the porridge, so I had to mix it with water.

Moreover, even though the weather is cold now and the noodles have been there for four days, they are still served to me.

Xiao Xiao looked at the stewed fish maw with deer tendon on the plate, got closer and smelled it, and said to Hu's mother: "You can take this plate and eat it. After you finish eating, go outside and tell the people you know that you have a good meal today." , your special dish includes stewed fish maw with deer tendons.”

It's not like she hasn't had a hard time.

Now she wished she could eat delicious food every time. When she heard Xiao Xiao's words, she immediately beamed. She was also afraid that she had heard wrongly, so she asked expectantly: "Master, do you really not want to eat this deer tendon?" Already?"

Especially if there is a big banquet, such as the two young masters of the General's Mansion getting married on the same day, there are many dignitaries who come to attend the ceremony and want to get together and become familiar with each other.

But now, she has the conditions to enjoy it, and of course she doesn't want to wrong herself.

Fortunately, the weather is getting cooler now, so her smell has not changed.

Hu's mother used to lack food and clothing, but it was only after Xiao Xiao bought her that she lived a good life.

But if you don't take this seriously, it's a trivial matter to suffer the consequences of being dumb. You're afraid that people who secretly change things will think that you are ignorant and don't know what is good or bad, and they will continue to fool you next time.

"Hey! Mom, I never dreamed that I could eat such delicious food." Mother Hu immediately took away the deep blue porcelain plate, not forgetting to greet the others: "I'll take it to the tea room." , you all come and eat.”

Yiqing followed immediately and pulled Menghui along: "Let's go and taste the good stuff too."

Xiao Xiao's typical dish is three dishes and one soup. In addition to the deer tendon stewed fish maw that was taken away, there were also ham and chicken soup, cabbage stewed with tofu vermicelli, and mushroom stewed chicken.

Even though they were kept hot on the stove, these dishes tasted pretty good. Xiao Xiao felt that the chefs in the General's Mansion still had some skills.

She put down her chopsticks after she was eighty percent full.

Yan's mother handed her a cup of tea and started to clear the dishes.

Xiao Xiao followed the crowd and rinsed his mouth with tea before asking her, "Why don't you go eat?"

"My slave was full earlier." Yan's mother couldn't help but asked curiously: "Girl, I've never been able to figure it out, why did you choose a few of us in the first place?"

Xiao Xiao swallowed the tea and said honestly: "Because you are not very considerate and have great strength."

They know people but not their hearts, they are dishonest, and Xiao Xiao is not sure either.

But it is true that the four of them are very powerful.

When she went to the dental shop, most of the people there were sallow and thin.

Of course she wouldn't choose those who are fair, fat or pretty.

Her request was that the twenty maids and women selected in the first round should all carry two buckets of water and walk around the yard.

Unfortunately, only five people can do it.

Apart from the four of them, another maid cried and begged her, saying that she would buy it together with her mother.

Xiao Xiao didn't have any sympathy for her, so of course she wouldn't buy that maid.

Mother Yan didn't know what to say: "So this is how you choose people?"

Seeing Xiao Xiao nodding affirmatively, she couldn't help but ask: "Then do you regret it?"

Xiao Xiao looked at her in surprise: "Why should I regret it? Aren't you also very good?"

Mrs. Yan is very self-aware: "But the old slaves are stupid, they don't know how to be a girl, and they don't understand the rules. They are afraid of embarrassing you."

Xiao Xiao muttered in her heart: What a coincidence, am I worried too?
But he said: "Menghui is honest and responsible. Mother Hu and Yiqing can talk to people quickly. Mother Yan, you are also considerate in everything you do."

This was also her true words. Although Mrs. Hu and Yiqing were a little greedy and gossipy, she had also observed that Mrs. Hu didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.

To be honest, sometimes she wonders whether Mrs. Hu and Yiqing are biological mothers and daughters. Otherwise, how could they have similar looks and similar personalities and hobbies?
Although this girl Menghui is a bit clumsy, she is careful in her work.

As for the mother-in-law, she is indeed the most measured one among them.

Mother Yan bowed again and said, "I would like to thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts. I will do things more carefully in the future."

After she left with the rest of the meal, Xiao Xiao picked up another piece of mung bean cake and ate it. She was a little confused. Could it be that Yan's mother wanted to hold a workplace selection?
Otherwise, you suddenly ask yourself what are you doing?
She quickly finished a piece of mung bean cake, but when she saw that there were only oranges and apples in the fruit plate, she lost her appetite and planned to let them pick some more pomegranates to squeeze juice.

"Young lady," the mother-in-law who was originally in the yard walked in and bowed hastily: "Mother Zhou from the yard is here."

Xiao Xiao looked calm: "Then why don't you come in?"

She finally understood that the original mother-in-law and maid in the yard did not take her seriously.

She also understood what they were thinking. Li Yan himself was the eldest son of a concubine and a thorn in his wife's side. Their most important task was to supervise Li Yan's every move and serve him by the way.
