in spring

Chapter 39
Chunying was confused, but actually found the kitchen and passed on the word.

The woman in charge looked at the half-worn dress on her body calmly, recognized it as the clothes of the old girl Mei Xiang, smiled, and said: "Did the third young master order it? Or Mei Xiangfa? If you I dare not listen to the little girl's own opinion. If it's cold today, send it over early, if the third young master doesn't eat it, let it cool for nothing, and we will blame us in the end, who should we ask for reasoning?" Laughing, he wiped his cards with the other three wives on his own.

Chunying frowned, and glanced into the kitchen, only a few younger women were washing vegetables and cutting meat, and several pots were already burning on the stove.She thought to herself that it was almost evening and the stove was busy, so why is this woman still so slow?Are you free to play cards?She thought of the other party's glance at her just now, and the words that her sister Qiuyu told her immediately came to mind.So she sneered and said: "Isn't the inside already cooked? What's the point of coming earlier? Anyway, I passed the word to the kitchen, so Auntie can figure it out by herself. The person in our courtyard who knew that I came to deliver the message was not a two-year-old. Well, if the meal is delivered late and the third young master is hungry, I won't dare to blame you if it is found out that it was my aunt's fault."

But the old woman was unmoved: "Little girl, don't talk big, everyone cooks, you have to be the elders first, although the third young master is honorable, you can't go past the old lady, Lord Hou and his wife, right? The kitchen is just a few days away. A stove, where can I burn it? Just wait."

Chunying was stunned, she didn't know what to say, although she was depressed, she turned around to reply, but unexpectedly, she heard a woman next to her whisper to another companion: "These little girls take themselves too seriously Who doesn't know what they are doing in the yard? The third young master is happy that the meal was delivered early. The credit belongs to them, and the slightest benefit does not fall on us. But if the third young master is annoyed, the fault is ours. When we Are you a fool?"

The other woman also curled her lips and said: "Isn't it? Last time I didn't know which girl wanted to be courteous. She urged us to deliver the food early, but the third young master didn't know what he was busy with. He delayed eating until the food was cold. I had a stomachache at night, and my wife had a seizure, which caused us to be stripped of our silver rice for a month. It’s really wronged! I don’t know what tricks I’m going to play today! A bunch of evil spirits, who cares about them?!”

Chunying was furious, thinking that other girls offended these women, how could it be her fault?These women felt wronged, how could they still go wrong with her?

She lifted her feet and wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, Chen'er had already turned back first, and now she was the one to deliver the message, if these women really didn't listen, when the superiors blamed them, they said they didn't see her coming, Isn't she the one who suffers?If I had known earlier, I should have stayed where I was and waited for Chen'er!It's too late to regret it now, I can only persuade these women, at least wait until Chen'er comes over, so as to prove that she has delivered the message.

Thinking of this, she turned around and went back, took a deep breath, and was about to speak, but heard a rush of footsteps behind her, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl ran over, and put a clay cup in her hand in front of those women As soon as he put it down, he cursed: "I told you to stew ginseng soup, look what these are?! Do you think we are country children who have never seen the world?! Where did you get the good ginseng sent by our grandma? went?!"

The woman in charge frowned when she saw some soup stains on her skirt, took out a silk handkerchief, wiped it slowly and said, "Be careful! This is a precious thing, old wild ginseng stewed This cup of soup is worth tens of taels of silver, and the two whiskers are just for meaning. Is it possible to really show the whole ginseng tree to others? You are not an upstart, and there is no such rule in our house. "

The maid sneered: "Are you still reasonable? This cup of food is only a little more flavorful than clear soup, and it really uses the whole ginseng? Who are you lying to?! Do you think I have never seen ginseng soup? You When our grandma hasn’t had ginseng soup?! Fart! That’s our grandma’s dowry, it’s not something you can deduct, give it back to me quickly!”

The woman straightened her face immediately: "Absurd! It's all stewed into soup, how can I return you? If you want to play wild, don't you look at this place?! If you have the ability, let's go to Mr. Wang to reason." go!"

The girl smiled angrily: "Okay, okay! Today I have opened my eyes, there are such shameless people in the world! Let me tell you, don't think that our young mistress can't do anything to you, no matter what, she is also in this house. The decent daughter-in-law was carried into the gate of Qingguo Hou's mansion by three matchmakers and six hires! If the story of slave bullying the master gets out, I'd like to see if the old lady and Lord Hou will spare you!"

The mother-in-law couldn't hold back her face: "Little girl has a big mouth, but I advise you to calm down, everyone has the rules of a family, although I don't know how the eldest and young mistress are at home, but when we come to our house, you have to settle down." Okay. We have been old people for several lifetimes, and how long has the young mistress entered the house? She wants to rule us, so I advise the young mistress to give up her heart!" Several other women were sneering, and one of them covered his mouth She smiled and said to the girl: "I said, you girl is originally from the house, why is your arm turned out instead? Could it be that someone gave you some favors? Maybe they want to praise you as an aunt!"

The girl was trembling with anger, and Chunying frowned when she heard that, thinking of the kind "elder young master" she met just now, she suddenly felt sympathetic, and hated those women even more.

Another little girl came running outside the door, and when she saw this, she hurriedly pulled the previous girl and said: "Sister Xiangyu, grandma said that this matter is fine, don't quarrel with others." Xiangyu jumped anxiously: "How can you Forget it?! This time I made a concession, and the screwdriver should make more progress in the future!" "Sister!" The little girl's eyes were red with anxiety, "Please, our grandma doesn't want to cause trouble..." Xiangyu bit her teeth lips, standing there refusing to take a step.

A woman came out of the kitchen and shouted: "The rice is ready!" Several people brought out a large bucket of fragrant white rice, followed by a dozen dishes of chicken, duck and fish, all of which were delivered to the table in the empty room next to it.The mother-in-law who was in charge waited for a few more to see her, and immediately left Xiangyu and the others with a smile on her face, and walked into the house.

Chunying rushed to the kitchen and looked in, the stove was empty, where is there any cooking?She angrily grabbed the woman in charge, and said: "Didn't you just say that the meals for the old lady, Lord Marquis, and wife should be cooked first, and then it's our third young master's turn? Then what are you eating now?!"

The woman threw her away and said with a sneer: "If you don't need to work together, you can make sarcastic remarks?! We don't eat, how can we have the strength to work? Get out of here!"

Chunying was stunned for a moment, the words made sense, but she was still a little unconvinced: "Then we can't just leave work and eat, can we? It's getting dark now!" She thought back then whether she was an intern in a hotel It was still in the small restaurant of my uncle’s house. The kitchen staff I knew either took turns to eat in batches, or they ate after finishing their work.

"Don't bother you, we have our own discretion." The woman walked into the house with her head held high.Chunying wanted to argue again, but Xiangyu suddenly said coolly at the side: "You don't need to waste your time, this little sister, this mother is an important person in the house, and the daughter she gave birth to is the second young master's favorite housemate, we The eldest mistress is trampled under their feet, how can the third young master be so strong? They only recognize that one master!"

Chunying caught a glimpse of the faces of the women changing, rolled their eyes, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, no wonder their rules are so weird! If the old lady, Lord Hou, and his wife have to cook first, our third young master will also cook first." There is nothing to say, filial piety, but the meals of several mothers are prepared before the old lady, Lord Hou and his wife. Is it honorable?"

"Little hooves! Don't talk nonsense!" The woman in charge stretched her face, "Stop sowing discord here! My wife hates people like you the most!"

Chunying snorted coldly: "I just passed the meal on behalf of the third young master, but I became the person my wife hates the most? What do you mean turning black and white? That's it. Anyway, my words have been passed on, so it's up to you to listen or not. Yes The old lady told us to urge the third young master to eat well, you not only disobeyed the old lady's wishes, but also ignored the third young master, I don't care about the consequences in the future!" After saying that, he turned his head and left.

Xiangyu also raised the corner of her mouth: "Isn't it? Our grandma is not in good health, and it was the old lady who told her to take more supplements, but in the end she told you to withhold the ginseng for dowry. I don't know what the old lady would think if she knew about it?" After finishing speaking, she also dragged the little girl away.

The woman in charge's face turned red and white, but her heart was uneasy.She has always looked down on the eldest and young master couple, and she often deceives them a lot, but if the eldest and young mistress really would rather lose face and sue the old lady, she will not be able to please her. She is afraid that her daughter will suffer in front of the second young master.Thinking of this, she had no choice but to suspend her desire to please the second young master for a while, and casually recruited two old women who couldn't get along on weekdays, and ordered them to prepare the old lady's meal first.The two women had to swallow their anger and go.

Chunying walked for a while, seeing Xiangyu and the little girl following up, she slowed down, turned her head and smiled at them.

Xiangyu returned a smile, and asked again: "Are you a girl from Huanhuaxuan? Why haven't I met you? What's your name?"

"I just came here not long ago, and my name is Chunying." Chunying paused, "Lu Chunying, the way to walk."

Xiangyu's eyes lit up: "Surname Lu? Do you recognize Lu Chongjun?"

"I know, he is my second uncle." Chun Ying walked forward with a smile, "I have been here for almost a month, should my second uncle come back? How is he now?"

"Well, I just met him a while ago." Xiangyu looked Chunying up and down a few times, "There is something... Uncle Lu said that his niece is also working in the mansion, and she is in the third young master's courtyard. Please ask us to meet her." I want you to bring him a letter, but I don’t quite understand what that said.”

Chunying was a little nervous: "What is it?"

"That's right..." Xiangyu thought for a while, "Your father's matter has already been settled, and it will only take a few years for you to work as an errand with peace of mind."

Chunying was overjoyed: "Really?!" Xiangyu nodded in bewilderment, and smiled again: "Although I don't know what this means, but you are Uncle Lu's niece, and you are not an outsider. Come to us when you have time Sit down."

Chunying didn't hear her words clearly at all, she was very excited.

The second uncle's words meant: Her father has a chance to be transferred to the young master's subordinates. As long as things go well, it will be a matter of course for the whole family to leave the Hou's mansion with the young master in a few years!

Chunying was full of confidence immediately, she would be honest and wait for the day to leave!
(Happy winter solstice everyone~~~ "Winter New Year", have you eaten well today?)
